Chapter 230 Xiao Zhang and Hong Xia are engaged as they wish
Hongyu immediately took out a small comb from her pocket and adjusted the two pigtails on Hongying's head.
The old couple pretended not to hear and called their children to eat.
Hehua has been staying in the city and has not returned. Zhou Jianping sends her gifts every year during the holidays, and the old couple has finally come to terms with it.
There is no need to offend the God of Wealth for the sake of those two incompetent sons-in-law.
Huang Hehua looked at her parents' aged faces and said, "Dad, Mom, you are old now, so please worry less.
The six pigs raised at home belong to my eldest sister and third sister, so let them take care of them from now on.
When you can no longer work, the three of us sisters will support you financially."
Huang's mother smiled awkwardly, "Oh, okay!"
This was a few years ago when I saw Hehua raising pigs. These two careless guys also surrounded Huang's mother and raised a few pigs, which were divided equally among the three families.
The eldest sister Yingchun often comes back to help feed the pigs.
The third child, Huang Yueji, is a cunning one. She seldom comes home during normal times, but when it comes to slaughtering pigs and dividing the profits, she runs back to her mother's house every day.
Huang's mother had had enough too. She wanted to give the expanded pigpen to her two daughters so that they could supplement the family income and have some private money.
But from now on, the pigs of the two families will be raised separately, and whoever owns the pig will do the work.
They no longer want to take sides. The one who gets the advantage will never be satisfied. This is the root of the conflict.
When Xiao Zhang brought his family into the village, Zhou Jianguo and his wife welcomed them warmly.
Zhou Jianping and Huang Hehua took their children directly to the city.
Their house happened to be empty, so they accommodated the Zhang family.
After learning the details, Zhou Dazhu went to his third uncle's house first.
Zhou Jianguo and Lu Yuzhu then came with their people.
My fourth uncle and his family had already received the news, and Hongxia's house was full of relatives.
I saw the young man next to Zhou Jianguo. He seemed to be a little taller than Jianguo. He looked energetic and was a handsome guy.
I heard that Yuzhu valued him very much, and my third uncle has already fallen in love with him.
It was right to prevent Hongxia from dating in the village. If the marriage had been decided, Yuzhu would not have brought her to the city.
And they are also under the control of the man's family.
This is great. If these two get together, they will live together in the future and will definitely settle down in a big city.
Hongxia's mother looked at Xiao Zhang with a loving look, and her wide smile showed the satisfaction of the girl's family.
Both parties sat down, and Hongxia followed her mother and aunts to serve tea.
Xiao Zhang's parents, uncles and aunts stared at Hongxia.
The girl has good manners, good looks and a great figure. What's most rare is that she is now the manager of a clothing store in the city.
He has achieved such success at such a young age. Even if he can find a city hukou, Zhang Dafu can be said to have found a treasure.
This kid is completely benefiting from following his leader.
People brought this cousin to the big city just to make some money, and now Xiao Zhang is getting a good deal.
Seeing that Hongxia's parents were so kind and the other party's relatives were also smiling, Xiao Zhang's parents felt relieved.
Under the encouragement of the eldest uncle and the third uncle, the marriage between the two families was proposed.
After consulting Hongxia's parents, both parties decided that it would be better to hold the wedding on a new day than to choose another one.
Let’s arrange a marriage for the two children today so that it will be more convenient for the two families to visit each other in the future.
Zhang Chunmei, who was dragged out by her brother, was envious of Sister Hongxia because of her neat and pretty appearance.
After this trip, her mood has eased and she no longer thinks about that unfaithful man.
When the Zhang family sincerely asked the woman how much the engagement gift money was, the third uncle glanced at Lu Yuzhu.
It was agreed at the beginning that the marriage would be decided by my nephew's wife.
Lu Yuzhu intends to facilitate this marriage, so naturally she won't make things difficult for the Zhang family.
Hongxia will have to marry and live her life there in the future. If her parents ask for too much, even if they don't say anything to her face, her mother-in-law will always feel a thorn in her heart behind her back.
"Give 200 yuan upfront for the engagement, and then give more when we get married. Both parties are sincere, so the amount doesn't matter."
Seeing that the girl's family agreed, Zhang's mother immediately took out 200 yuan and handed it to Hongxia's mother with both hands.
The three Zhang brothers who came with them took out a big red envelope and handed it to Hongxia.
"It's Chinese New Year, the distance is far, and we haven't prepared many gifts, so we can only give the children a red envelope."
My third uncle’s family was naturally happy.
Seeing that the matter was accomplished, Lu Yuzhu was very happy for them.
Hongxia's parents specially invited them to have dinner here together.
Originally thinking that the matter was settled, Lu Yuzhu and the others were also preparing to go to the military compound.
Xiao Zhang's family returned to Zhou's house.
Zhang's father said, "Captain Zhou, Dafu's sister-in-law, thank you for your care in the children's marriages."
The Zhang family had just lost their daughter's marriage and arranged a new one for their son around the Chinese New Year, which was quite a loss.
Zhang's mother held her daughter's hand and said, "I heard from my Dafu that he was in the army, thanks to the care you and your wife took, he still has food to eat after he retired.
His sister Chunmei is also a good child. Although she doesn't know as many words as her brother, she is also considered a cultured person.
Please, for Dafu's sake, take her out with you to try her luck."
Chunmei was a little shy and was too embarrassed to speak.
It was Zhang's father who chose to speak directly, "My daughter's marriage was just ruined by an educated youth.
We're worried that if she stays at home, she'll feel inferior again after seeing that beast. We don't ask for anything, just enough to eat."
Lu Yuzhu turned around and asked, "Xiao Zhang, why haven't I heard you say that?"
"I only found out about this after I returned home." Zhang Dafu then recounted what happened when he returned home.
Lu Yuzhu felt empathy as soon as she heard it. It was just like her, where someone else stole her boyfriend away.
This girl is so stubborn that she still wants to marry that guy!
It turns out that scumbag is as shameless as Xie Changlin.
"Okay, I'll take her to the provincial capital. My brother and his furniture factory all hired local people to work as receptionists.
I think Chunmei can do this if she’s brave enough.”
Xiao Zhang hesitated a little, "My sister is really not very courageous, I don't know if she can do it!"
He dared not deceive his boss.
Chunmei has never traveled far, her mind is not flexible enough, and she tends to stick to her own opinions.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be so stubborn against the scumbag.
Xiao Zhang had seen the receptionists at the furniture store. Those girls were smart and clever. Chunmei could not compare to them.
Lu Yuzhu thought for a moment, "In those big kitchens, the men would take a break before cooking.
Why don't you ask your sister to cook for a while, and when she gets used to it, she can take over the work."
In Lu Yuzhu's mind, this was not a tedious task. A good girl could do it.
It was Jiang's wife Xu Guihua, who turned out to be such a rough country woman.
After a few years of assimilation with Teacher Lin Hui and Lu Yuzhu, wouldn't it be possible for him to become a clothing store manager?
Zhou Jianguo looked at his young wife and felt like laughing.
"I think we should put this matter aside for now and let her go with Hongxia to help out at the clothing store in the city.
With Hongxia, her new sister-in-law, taking care of her, it won’t be long before she can go to the provincial capital.”
This is a great idea!
Everyone in the Zhang family, including the Zhou family, was very willing.
At this time, Uncle Zhang couldn't wait any longer and immediately interrupted, "Captain Zhou, I heard that your wife has built a vegetable greenhouse. We want to go and see it."
