First Marriage Then Love (Mr. Mayor Please Be Kind)

Chapter 144

"Did you say that about your daughter? The conditions of the Zhou family are a hundred times better than ours, but you can't just be a little daughter-in-law who swallows her anger just because of this early summer!

You are Chu Xia's dear father, and even you think that we have made a lot of money and let the Zhou family do everything, so others will not take Chu Xia seriously! "

Lin Baohe's teaching to her daughter aroused Zhao Yulan's anger, and when Lin Baohe's words fell, she was scolded.

"Look at your rush. I didn't say to make Chu Xia swallow her anger. What I said was to let her restrain her temper. As you can see, Chu Xia hardly has a good voice when talking to Captain Zhou. If she really married into the Zhou family Go, how can she do it with such an attitude?"

"It's also..." Feeling that her husband's analysis was reasonable, Zhao Yulan immediately changed her position, "Xia, what your father said is that a man saves face, so he can make any noise at home, and he must not lose face in front of outsiders. This outsider, Including me and your father, including his father and mother, no matter whether you can figure it out or not, it is right to listen to your father and mother."

"Okay, I'll listen to my parents." In fact, Chu Xia also realized that there was something wrong with her attitude towards Zhou Mikang, so she complied obediently.

Although there was an element of reluctance in this marriage, it has to be said that Zhou Mikang respected her family very much. He was able to take the initiative to give her passbook to her parents, which fully demonstrated this point!

Thinking of this, she suddenly realized that she didn't know how much money was in the passbook given by Mr. Zhou, "Mom, how much is the gift money given by Mr. Zhou's grandpa?"

Speaking of this matter, Zhao Yulan's expression immediately became serious: "Xia. The passbook given by the grandfather of the Zhou family is 3,000 yuan. I discussed it with your father. You can't accept this money. Our family is poor. Returning to the poor, you can't be short-spirited and make your in-laws laugh at you.

Besides, your father and I just want you to live a better life, but we never intend to benefit from you. If we take the money, you will not be able to hold your head high in the Zhou family in the future.

So, no matter what they say, the money. We still can’t take it. When we marry a daughter-in-law, the family with good conditions only gives a gift of 600 yuan, plus a bicycle, a watch, and a sewing machine. The total adds up to 1,000 yuan.

Mother and your father are evaluating, if they follow this standard. The Zhou family must think that we are too petty and really can't do it, so they only accept the 2,000 yuan from the head of the group, and they will have a grandson in the future. No one can say anything about Hua's little grandson. "

It's really long-term thinking, this horoscope has just been written off. She even thought of her little grandson, and Chu Xia stared at her mother with black lines.

I really don't know what to say.

Chu Xia was not surprised by the amount of money given by the Zhou family. Because at that time, Mr. Zhou mentioned to let her parents go back to their hometown to build a decent house. In terms of current prices, the materials used to build four houses in the countryside are almost 2,000 yuan, and the materials used are better. , You have to be in the early three thousand.

As for the more than 2,000 that Zhou Mikang gave, in the eyes of the Zhou family, it was for the son-in-law to honor his father-in-law and his mother-in-law, and it had nothing to do with gift money. Therefore, what Mr. Zhou gave was just enough money to build a good house.

However, even if the Zhou family forced Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe to accept the money, it was impossible for the couple to really make a fuss about building a house. Given their personalities, they couldn't do such a thing.

Actually speaking, the gift money given by the Zhou family is not too outrageous. In terms of the conditions of the Zhou family, no matter how little they give, they will feel that they can’t afford it. many. After all, marrying her and passing through the door made her parents have a miserable life, and the faces of the Zhou family were not pretty.

The more wealthy this kind of family is, the more he cares about face. Of course, it's not absolute, but based on her observation of Mr. Zhou and Father Zhou, they must belong to this type.

She agreed to marry Zhou Mikang just to make her parents' life easier in advance. Thinking of this, Chu Xia said: "Mother, on the conditions of the Zhou family, taking out the money will not affect life, let alone because You and dad look down on me after taking the money, they are not that kind of people."

Lin Baohe's expression became serious: "Xia, if you don't miss the money, you won't miss the money. Your mother and I can't really treat ourselves as dishes. You are still young and don't understand these things. Forget it, don't worry about it." , your mother and I know what to do."

"father"

Chu Xia still wanted to persuade, but Lin Baohe pulled it back with a smug face: "Xia, there is no need to discuss this matter."

"I won't marry without discussion!" Chu Xia's stubbornness also came up.

"you dare!"

"I dare father to know soon!"

"You child!" Lin Baohe sighed heavily, and then slapped himself on the face, "It's all my father's incompetence. I used to rely on my wife, but now I rely on my daughter. I'm a waste."

"Father, if your face is swollen, how will you see people tomorrow?"

Hearing what Chu Xia said, Lin Baohe was so frightened that he quickly withdrew his slap on the cheek again. Zhao Yulan, who was originally frowning, couldn't help but burst out laughing when she saw Lin Baohe's expression of wanting to slap her but not daring to slap her. Xiang Chuxia's eyes were full of relief: "Xia, you don't follow your father's stereotypes, mother, I finally feel more at ease."

Chu Xia nodded solemnly: "Yes, father is too strict!"

"It doesn't matter if you say dad is rigid or an antique, anyway, the money can't be accepted. Even if you accept it, your mother and I will send it back later."

Chu Xia, who is well aware of her father's temper, knows that his father has become determined after eating the weight.

It is estimated that even Zhao Yulan's persuasion will be useless at this moment.

She is married to Chief Zhou, and her father and mother are still struggling, so what's going on with her?

"Xia, of course father also wants to build a big house. When people ask, they will say that my son-in-law's family paid us to build it. However, father and your mother can't patronize and show off, and they have to think about your future life. If you live It’s okay to give birth to a son, in case it’s a girl.” At this point, Lin Baohe realized that the girl used to be the most annoying when people said that about her, so he quickly explained, “Of course, father and mother are very content with you. But the Zhou family is different. Most of the rich families are rare grandchildren. These things, we have to take precautions in advance."

"Xia, this matter is really not as simple as you think. The standard of marriage that my mother would say is the standard for a good family in the countryside to marry a wife. For an ordinary family, it is 200 yuan plus a bicycle, no matter how good the conditions are. , can add a watch, as for the sewing machine. It must be a wealthy household above the middle level.

We have surpassed a lot. No matter how the Zhou family is doing, we can't be too greedy. Your father and I are still young and we are not afraid of suffering. If you really love your parents, don't worry about it for a while. When living a good life, parents will not refuse. "

"Father. Mother, I will definitely work hard, but" she wanted to say, but. I am willing to marry Zhou Mikang because I want you to have a better life ahead of time, but right now. What kind of?

The words came to his lips, but he quickly took them back. If she really dared to say that, her parents would be even more worried. At this moment, they still thought she was willing to marry Zhou Mikang, and they were already so anxious. If they knew the truth, what would they worry about?

However, it is probably impossible to withdraw the marriage. His parents have seen the sincerity of the Zhou family, and they are satisfied with this marriage from the bottom of their hearts. Looking for an ordinary family may not be satisfactory everywhere, let alone such a family.

Forget it, let her persuade her slowly, and the matter is not in a hurry. At this moment, if her parents insist on not accepting gift money, let's talk about it after they get married. If the Zhou family treats her well by then, his parents will also Not so determined.

In fact, thinking about it, it might not be a good idea to let her parents bring so much money back at this moment.

Although Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Lin had severed ties with her family before, if they knew that she married such a family and received such a gift money, the old couple would definitely deny the severing of ties. It is normal for a couple with a lower limit to go out of their way.

And that top-notch uncle's mother's family, if they learn that her parents have such a large sum of money, they may have some crooked thoughts. As for the uncle's family, they are not so good.

With the personalities of Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, if they really wanted to be besieged by that group of people, the result would definitely not be what she wanted.

Thinking of this, she immediately decided not to persuade her parents to accept the gift money, "Father, mother, I listen to you, and you can do whatever you say."

Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe immediately became happy after seeing their daughter. No matter how many things they worried about, at least one thing they were relieved of was that their daughter's personality was really different from before.

If you want to put it aside, no one can turn around what your daughter is sure about. Just now, the couple seemed to be resolute in persuading their daughter, but in fact, they were terribly worried.

If the daughter insisted on not letting go, they really didn't dare to argue with her. If the daughter was pushed into a hurry, thinking about the time when the daughter ran away from home, they would be terrified to death.

Both parties' concerns were settled, and the atmosphere in the room immediately relaxed.

After finally getting a chance to be alone with her daughter, Zhao Yulan told her about the situation of her family in a rambunctious manner, and then began to talk about various things that happened in the village during this period, for example, who had a new baby Now, who married a daughter-in-law, who married a daughter, and even, who added a few chicks, Lin Baohe sat aside, listened quietly, and added a sentence from time to time.

Speaking of the latter, Zhao Yulan slapped her forehead fiercely, and said, "By the way, your sister-in-law Yulan's sister has married into our village."

"Who did you marry?" Chu Xia's face was filled with surprise, after only half a month since leaving, such things happened, tsk tsk

"Marry Chen Guangxin, the second grandson of your grandpa Dagang."

"The one with the bad legs?"

"yes."

"Who introduced it?"

"Of course it's your uncle. Your Dagang grandpa is not happy, but Guangxin's mother is willing. Guangxin's legs and feet are not good. Generally, girls from good families don't want to marry. You can do it, the bride alone is very satisfied, and she will get married at the end of this month."

"So fast?" Chu Xia looked surprised. This speed is too amazing. Some time ago, Liu Meiqing was still thinking about marrying her sister to the director of the commune. How did she lower the conditions so quickly? some?

"Mom, do you think this is right?"

"It's not right." It was Lin Baohe who answered. "Your Grandpa Dagang also thinks something is wrong, but Bride Guang wants to marry Guangxin with all her heart. She won't listen to anyone who says it. Father Guangxin can't be her master."

"Brother Chen is also willing?"

Zhao Yulan nodded: "That's for sure. Your third brother walks with the wind now."

"This matter" Chu Xia poked his forehead, and then laughed, "Forget it, don't worry about them, we don't care about this matter, father, mother, I will send it to you as soon as I get this month's allowance." Go back. You two can buy whatever you want, but you are not allowed to spend it."

"Okay." Zhao Yulan nodded with a smile, "I can spend the money my daughter earns, but my mother has survived, haha"

"Father has survived too!" Lin Baohe said and added, "Xia is a daughter, but she is much better than a kid. Daddy cares about daughters!"

The family was talking happily when there was a sudden knock on the door. Chu Xia hurried over, still giggling: "Uncle and Aunt are so polite now, hehe" opened the door, only to see Luo Hongqi and Zhao Qiliang standing at the door.

"On the way back, I happened to meet Hongqi. He knew that my sister-in-law and uncle were coming, so he wanted to come and have a look." Zhao Qiliang said with a smile.

Luo Hongqi glanced at Chu Xia's face, and quickly moved away. He shouted in a rough voice: "Second Uncle, Second Aunt. I'm here to see you."

"Red Flag, come in quickly." Zhao Yulan and Lin Baohe hurried over to meet them and let them into the room. Zhao Yulan looked him up and down, and said, "Hongqi is stronger than when he was at home."

"Eat well here, and train every day, so your body will be strong." Luo Hongqi smiled innocently, "Second Uncle and Aunt, you have come all the way, are you tired?"

Chu Xia curled her lips quietly, yo, she also knows how to greet people, a lot of progress!

"It's okay, I don't feel tired from the car." Zhao Yulan said as she took out the scallion pancakes from the cloth bag, "Hongqi, there isn't much good stuff here. These are the scallion pancakes baked by Chu Xia's grandma when I came here. You know You eat here, so you don’t like this, but this is the taste of our family, let’s eat one.”

"Hmm." Luo Hongqi replied muffled, took the scallion pancake and stuffed it into his mouth, his eye circles seemed a little red.

Chu Xia thought there was something wrong with her eyes, so she quickly rubbed her eyes and looked over, uh, not only was she a little red now, but there seemed to be a hint of water in her eyes.

A scallion pancake moved to tears?

"Luo Hongqi, if you really want to eat, ask my mother to give you two more." Chu Xia said.

Luo Hongqi glared at Chu Xia: "I miss my mother, this cake tastes the same as the cake baked by my mother."

"Oh, oh, do you miss Fat Aunt?" Chu Xia laughed narrowly, "It's not easy to handle, you'll only be eligible to visit relatives after a year, and it's only been about three months, and you have to wait another nine years." It's been a month, hey, you've been through a lot!"

"Don't worry, let alone one year, I can survive two years." Luo Hongqi said and looked at Chu Xia, "Lin Chuxia, even in front of my second uncle and aunt, I will still say you.

Since you signed up to be a soldier, you have to plan to leave your parents for a long time. It's only been half a month, and you couldn't bear to recruit your second uncle and aunt. In the future, you plan to let them live here to take care of you?

Even if you are willing, the army will not allow it. This time, because you are a recruit, you can make an exception. It is estimated that next time, you will be able to pack up and go home. "

After Luo Hongqi finished speaking, Lin Baohe couldn't help laughing: "The army trains people. Before, Hongqi wouldn't say such things."

"Second Uncle, I feel sorry for you and Second Aunt. If she is driven home, you guys are sorry." Luo Hongqi sighed and stopped talking.

"Hongqi, if you have the heart, uncle and aunt will know your love." Zhao Yulan lovingly stroked his short hair stubble, "But Hongqi, you have too much prejudice against Chuxia, we are here this time, not her let us come"

Chu Xia interrupted Zhao Yulan: "Mother, don't explain, talking to him about this is simply playing the piano to a cow."

"You..." Luo Hongqi was too angry to speak.

"This kid loves to bully Hongqi!" Zhao Yulan slapped Chu Xia's shoulder symbolically, and looked at Luo Hongqi with a smile, "Hongqi, your uncle and I will stay for two more days before we go back. If you bring it back, take it."

"Aunt," Luo Hongqi blushed and twitched.

"He wanted to ask about Zhong Hongying's recent situation."

Luo Hongqi glanced at Chu Xia, rare. I think early summer is pleasing to the eye.

"The kid runs every day now, saying that he wants to participate in the summer conscription. He also wants to join the army."

"Why didn't she tell me?" Luo Hongqi frowned suddenly, "Second Aunt, who did you hear from?"

"Everyone in the village knows about it."

"She..." Luo Hongqi blushed anxiously, "I received her letter yesterday, and she didn't mention a word about it."

"Hongqi, wouldn't it be better if she came to serve as a soldier and be with you?" Zhao Yulan asked wonderingly.

"Second Aunt, if she also becomes a soldier, she definitely won't be able to follow me." Luo Hongqi smiled sheepishly, "She wants to follow me because she wants me to be a soldier."

"You know all about it," Chu Xia couldn't help dragging out the tone.

"I know. But I just miss her."

Well, this sentence is equivalent to saying, I know, but I just want to be cheated by her.

What can she say? Chu Xia looked Luo Hongqi up and down, and suddenly found that after several months of training in the army, this guy seemed to look better than before, um, he looked energetic. It looks good.

"Luo Hongqi, when you are resting, go and take a photo, wearing a military uniform. Send it to Zhong Hongying, maybe she will make up her mind not to marry you!"

Luo Hongqi just wanted to refute Chu Xia. However, Zhao Yulan also nodded her head in agreement: "That's right, what Chu Xia said is also an idea. As long as the red flags look like they are now, it's rare for anyone to see them."

"Boom boom"

The door knocked again. Zhao Qiliang, who was closest to the door, went to open the door, and it was Zhou Mikang.

"Leader!" Reflexively, Zhao Qiliang stood at attention and saluted.

Zhou Mikang smiled: "Privately, there is no need for so many etiquettes." Then, he stepped into the room, and saw Luo Hongqi standing there, he was obviously stunned for a moment, before he could speak, Luo Hongqi's legs "boomed" together Together, staring at Zhou Mikang with a stiff face: "Leader!"

"En." Zhou Mikang nodded at him, looked at Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan, "Father, Mother, I transferred a room for you, with three beds, you can move there later."

father? mother?

Luo Hongqi stood there stiffly, looking at Zhou Mikang with puzzled eyes, why would he call his second uncle and aunt "father" and "mother"?

Could it be that he recognized his second uncle and aunt as godfather and mother?

But when did that happen, why didn't he know?

"I share a bed with Chu Xia, just make do with it."

"It's not that there is no room, it just so happens that the three-person room has been vacated, or you can move there now." Zhou Mikang said while looking at Zhao Qiliang, "Go over and tell your parents, so that they won't be able to find it when the time comes." It's twenty-five."

"Okay." Zhao Qiliang replied and walked out. After thinking about it, he turned around and pulled Luo Hongqi, "Aren't you going to see my parents?"

Luo Hongqi, who was in a mess in his head, opened his mouth halfway, and was forcibly dragged to the next room by Zhao Qiliang.

Here, Zhou Mikang has already helped pack up the things, picked them up and walked to the triple room.

"I'll come, I'll come." Lin Baohe, who didn't grab a piece of luggage, was anxious to grab something to carry. Zhou Mikang leaned over, "Father, how can I let you carry something?"

"Ha ha"

"Ha ha"

Both Lin Baohe and Zhao Yulan laughed contentedly.

Chu Xia secretly rolled her eyes, she was pretty good at showing, this man was definitely not alone in front of her and in front of her parents, um, in front of Zhou's family and in front of her, he was not alone.

However, compared with the Zhou family, is she still happy?

Thinking of this, the corner of someone's mouth curled up.

Over there, Zhao Qiliang told Zhao Yushan and Li Aiyuan that after Chuxia's family moved to 205, Zhao Yushan laughed: "Yulan has survived, and this little head Zhou is hard to find even with a lantern."

With Luo Hongqi here, he didn't elaborate on anything else.

If he didn't say anything, it doesn't mean that Luo Hongqi won't ask: "Why does Captain Zhou call his second uncle and second aunt his father and mother?"

Chu Xia confessed this matter, and he didn't want other people in the army to know, whether this other people included Luo Hongqi, Zhao Qiliang was not sure. Concerned about the little cousin, Zhao Qiliang naturally did not dare to offend the little cousin carelessly.

In line with the principle of preferring to believe what is true and not to believe what is not, Qiliang Tongzi fooled Luo Hongqi without blushing, "You got it wrong, you must be nervous, you got it wrong."

"Impossible." Luo Hongqi shook his head, "I clearly heard it."

"You definitely saw that the leader was too nervous and had auditory hallucinations."

Seeing Luo Hongqi scratching his head and looking back, Zhao Yushan and Li Aiyuan were both black and white. At the same time, they were also relieved. It turned out that their son's honesty will be divided in front of whom. At this moment, they are finally at ease.
