Return to 1981 and start from breaking off the engagement

Chapter 125

When Yao Weijun walked into the courtyard door of the old house, he could already smell the aroma of cooking coming from the dining room.

"Lao Wu, the food will be ready soon. Come in quickly. Xiu Nan was passing by the village just now after get off work. I stopped her and told her to come in, which saved her from running back and forth."

Second sister-in-law Yan Suxia came out with the dishes, happened to see Yao Weijun, and said with a smile.

"Second sister-in-law, let's cut these up too." Yao Weijun carried the bacon he bought from the agency into the dining shed.

"Look, why are you spending this money? I'm ready!" Yan Suxia responded politely, with a warm smile on her face.

Yao Weijun not only bought food, but also bought two bottles of good wine and took them directly into the main room.

Soon, the Eight Immortals table was filled with wine and food. Because there were too many people in the family, one Eight Immortals table could not fit, so my father asked his second brother to move a small dining table for morning meals from the dining shed.

"Okay, I won't get involved with you as soon as I get older. I'd better eat with Xiaohua and the other three."

Regardless of the whole family's dissuasion, grandma took the matza and sat down at the small dining table.

"Grandma, take your wine cup. I'll heat up another pot of wine for you alone." Yu Xiunan smiled and came over, planning to sit next to her.

Upon seeing this, the sister-in-law pushed Yu Xiunan back to the Eight Immortals table, and she chose to sit with her grandma and three children.

In this way, six people sat at the Eight Immortals table, and five people sat at the small dining table next to it. There were eleven people in the family. The hall suddenly filled up, and the atmosphere was quite warm and cheerful.

"Your grandma is old, so you can sit and eat wherever you want. From now on, when our whole family eats in the old house, we will just arrange to sit there. Fortunately, your third sister and her family didn't come, otherwise we really wouldn't be able to sit down, haha."

Father Yao Xiangui said with a cheerful smile.

Looking at the room full of adults and children, as an elder, he was filled with emotion and at the same time extremely proud and happy.

Especially the changes in Lao Wu in the past few months made him feel like he was in a dream.

Not only did he quietly start a business, but he also married a hard-working wife who taught in the commune. Her prestige in the village was much higher than his.

"Dad, do you think our house is not big enough?"

Second sister-in-law Yan Suxia asked with a smile at the right time, and couldn't help but sigh when she said this.

"Hey, now Wei Lin and I are at our wits end. Farming at home can only be enough for food and drink. When Li Wen and Li Wu grow up, we won't even be able to save enough money to build a house for them and marry them. .”

"Second brother, if you have anything to say, just say it directly. Don't worry if you see Tian'er beating around the bush!"

After Yan Suxia finished speaking, the whole family did not answer the question. However, grandma, who was sitting at the small dining table and drinking a glass of wine, spoke and continued:
"Don't blame grandma for speaking outright. You, everything else is fine. As for your speaking problem, you can just say what your family has to say.

Didn't we agree when we separated the families that we would not separate houses? If there are any difficulties between brothers and sisters-in-law, they should speak out. Isn't it hypocritical? "

After grandma finished speaking, Yan Suxia suddenly showed a hint of embarrassment on her face, so she smiled dryly and nodded: "Grandma, you are right, I am too stupid and don't know what to say, so don't blame me."

"Second brother's house, have you forgotten what the fifth child said back then?" Although grandma sat at the small dining table, she had talked a lot today, so she asked abruptly.

"..." Yan Suxia's face darkened and she immediately lowered her head.

"Oh, you still don't understand what I mean!" Grandma frowned slightly and said:
"I want to say that our old Yao family doesn't like to play tricks with others, but they are also understanding people. With what you said just now, do you want your father and mother to help take care of Li Wen and Li Wu? , and then you and your wife go to the county town to sell vegetables?"

"..." Yan Suxia raised her head and nodded subconsciously, her face looking even more embarrassed.

"I took care of this on behalf of your parents-in-law. It's not a big deal. You and your wife are usually at home, and you spend most of your time with your grandparents!"

When grandma said this, she touched Li Wen's head and said with a kind smile: "From now on, if your grandparents don't have time, just follow me. I can't control your studies. I can't control your food and drink." questionable!"

"Grandma! I..." Yan Suxia was so excited that she covered her mouth before she could say anything, and there was moisture in her eyes.

"Second sister-in-law, if you really think about it, leave Li Wen's studies to me. Although I don't teach their classes, I can still help them with their homework when I get home."

Yu Xiunan took over the conversation and expressed his stance with a smile.

"Lao Wujia, with your words, even I feel relieved!" The second brother Yao Weilin felt grateful and drank the liquor in the wine glass with his neck raised.

"Hey, you two went to the county town to sell vegetables. Your father and I have also heard about it. You don't need to worry about family affairs. Li Wen and Li Wu are my grandsons. How can you ignore them?"

Mother Zhu Mei wiped the corner of her eyes, with a worried look on her face, "Actually, your father and I can't worry about you two. It's such a cold day, and you're going around the streets shouting from dawn to dusk. What if you can't sell it and get it in your hands?" This is different from working for others, where you have to pay for it!"

"Mom, I'm not afraid of hardship. Wei Lin and I are no less lacking in arms and legs than others. If others can sell it, we can certainly do it too. Even if we really lose money... I won't regret it!"

Yan Suxia also wiped the corners of her eyes and said firmly.

"Fifth, what do you think?"

Father Yao Xiangui turned to look at Yao Weijun, "Your second brother and second sister-in-law go to the county town to sell vegetables. Do you think you can make money?"

Now he only believes in his fifth brother. Although he doesn't agree with the second brother and his wife's approach in his heart. He thinks that if he earns some money, he should save it instead of looking at the height of the other mountain. But if Yao Weijun thinks it is possible, he will support it unconditionally. .

"It's about this..." Yao Weijun pondered, and the whole family's eyes immediately focused on him, especially the second brother and his wife, who were subconsciously full of nervousness.

“I can only say that you can give it a try, but it’s not that easy to make money.”

When Yao Weijun said this, he looked at his second brother and his wife calmly and asked:
"Second brother, second sister-in-law, you think you can make money by selling vegetables in the city, but have you made a precise plan? For example, where will you buy the vegetables? Where do you usually live? Even where in the county can you set up a stall, and where? Sell ​​quickly, business is good?
If you want to do any kind of business, it is definitely not possible to just do it as soon as your head is hot. You must have a plan, or you must make a plan after fully understanding the market. "

"..."

The whole family nodded subconsciously when they heard the words. Although they didn't understand Yao Weijun's words, they felt that they made sense.

Especially the second brother and second sister-in-law, after looking at each other, they gradually frowned.

"Lao Wu, thank you for reminding me so much, I will take note of it carefully!" Second sister-in-law Yan Suxia looked determined, and then explained:

"This is what I'm thinking now. If you want to buy food, go to Boss Lin. He has a full range of varieties, and you can buy many dishes that we don't have in the north.

In addition, as for where to live, I plan to find a house with your second brother in a village on the outskirts of the county. I will find distant relatives and move in through acquaintances. I don’t think I need to issue a certificate or anything. I will live in a side house in someone’s house. It will cost me about a month. You can rent it for less than a few dollars. "

Yan Suxia added with a frank look: "At worst, it will be a little harder every day. Anyway, the outskirts of the county are not far from the city, and we can walk there in just a few steps."

"Then you can't carry vegetables on your back to sell them on foot, right? Where's the transportation? What's the plan?" Yao Weijun frowned and asked again.

"I want your second brother to find some wood at home in the next two days and make a wheelbarrow so that you don't have to buy a bicycle. It's too expensive. When you really make money in the future, you can consider buying a second-hand one. "

Yan Suxia said with a helpless smile.

"Hey! It's such a shame, why can't you two just calm down a little bit in the winter!" When his father Yao Xiangui heard this, he couldn't help but pinch his teeth, his face full of distress and impatience.

The palms and backs of the hands were all flesh, just like Yao Weijun was fooling around at home before. Although he was angry and yelling, he still treated her as his own child in his heart.

Now the second child and his wife are going out to suffer in the cold weather, and no matter how much money they make, it is definitely not a good feeling to be old people.

"I still have an old bicycle at home, which I rarely use. Second sister-in-law, please go ride it back. Use it first, and then give it to me after you buy a new one."

Yao Weijun said calmly.

The bicycle he bought in the first place has been left unridden. As a family, we still have to help with this kind of convenient help. Besides, the second sister-in-law is not the kind of person who is evil to the core. She watched the two of them helplessly. If you don't help in a difficult situation, it will make you look petty and petty.

Yan Suxia couldn't help but feel moved again when she heard the words, and quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, "Lao Wu, thank you! My sister-in-law used to... Oh, I'm embarrassed to say it. Don't worry, my sister-in-law is not a fool. You can see how I behave in the future!"

"Second sister-in-law, if we don't talk to each other, we don't need to thank you. You and my second brother will live a good life in the future, and the whole family will be happy, because it will make our entire old Yao family shine. What a good thing."

Yao Weijun smiled lightly and continued to remind: "But you and my second brother must be mentally prepared. Some people make money in the same business, and others don't. You still need to use your brain more and think more, and be more diligent with your hands and feet. It shouldn’t be a big problem.”

"Yes!" Yan Suxia nodded firmly, her whole body suddenly relaxed a lot, and there was a look of hope in her eyes.

"Oh, by the way, there are many family compounds in the west of the county, where leaders of various state-owned units live. You can go there to shop more. They sell vegetables. The location is very important."

Yao Weijun added.

"Okay! Fifth Brother, if my sister-in-law did anything wrong in the past, please bear with me. I'll toast you with this glass of wine!"

Yan Suxia was in a good mood and took the initiative to raise the wine cup to express her gratitude.

"Second brother, you raise a glass too. Let's have a drink together as a family. I hope you all can have a good life in the future, and I, an old woman, can also take advantage of it, haha..."

Grandma smiled and gestured to the whole family.

The atmosphere in the room became more lively, and the meal lasted until about eight o'clock in the evening.

Early the next morning, Yao Weijun had just gotten up and was brushing his teeth when his second brother and sister-in-law had already arrived.

"Junzi, breakfast is ready at home. You can take grandma back and eat it."

As soon as they entered the hospital, the second brother Yao Weilin said with a smile.

"Oh, the fifth child is married now, and you still call me by your nickname, what are you talking about!"

The second sister-in-law, Yan Suxia, tugged at her man, frowned and reminded her, and then added with a smile: "Lao Wu, I made cornmeal and sweet potato porridge when I got up in the morning. It's getting cold now, so drink some to keep yourself warm.

Is grandma getting up?Call Xiunan, sister-in-law Xiaohua and the others, and let's go back and have breakfast together. "

"Let me be clear first, are sweet potatoes yellow?" Yao Weijun asked with a smile.

"I'm sure. I brought it back from my parents' house a few days ago and boiled it in corn porridge. It's so sweet!"

Yan Suxia knew that Lao Wu was deliberately joking, and her tone was filled with pride.

"Okay, then I have to eat something. This is what I used to eat!"

Yao Weijun rinsed his mouth and gestured towards a side room to the east: "The bicycle is stored in the house. Second brother, you just want to push it back together."

"Hey, it's done!"

The second brother Yao Weilin smiled sheepishly and nodded, then went into the house and pushed the bicycle out.

In the morning, the whole family went to the old house again. After breakfast, the second sister-in-law patiently stretched Li Wen and Li Wu's clothes with a look of reluctance on her face.

According to the total of the whole family last night, without further delay, today the second brother and his wife rode their bicycles to deal with selling vegetables in the county town.

First, find a good place to live in the suburbs of the county through distant relatives. If everything goes well, we will move there on the same day, and then talk to Fatty Lin about purchasing the goods.

"Liwen, Liwu, you must be obedient at home. It's not that my father and mother don't want you. When I earn money, I promise to buy you delicious food, fun things, and new clothes..."

The second sister-in-law wiped the corners of her eyes as she spoke. Even though she knew the county seat was not far away, she couldn't tell what it felt like to be separated from her children for the first time.

"When you settle down, I will take Li Wen and Liwu to the county seat to see you when I am free."

Yao Weijun said softly beside him.

"Okay, okay, I just like to grind, so why don't we stop doing business, so that you won't be reluctant to leave here, and those who don't know will think that something big has happened!"

The second brother Yao Weilin was actually feeling unhappy, but he inherited his father's personality and the words he said were unpleasant, so he urged impatiently.

Yan Suxia turned her head and looked at him deeply, said nothing, wiped the corners of her eyes, and stood up.

"Let's go, Mom will take you to the entrance of the village. Remember to get on Grandpa Mai's ox cart later. Be careful and don't mess around in school in the future. Safety is the most important thing, you know?"

At this point, her tone became choked again.

"Oh, it's not over yet, is it? Well, I'll go see Li Wen and Li Wu off, but you'd better go back home and pack your luggage!"

Yao Weilin pulled her away and led his two sons, who were also wiping tears, out of the yard.

"This second child! He can't accomplish anything! If the second child's family goes to the county seat, you will be the leader. Please take care of him!"

When his father Yao Xiangui saw that everyone had gone out, he frowned and warned Yan Suxia.

After saying that, in front of Yao Weijun, he took out ten dollars from his wallet and motioned to his mother Zhu Mei to hand it to Yan Suxia.
