Chapter 353, Chinese New Year
Qiao Mingyong, who was dressed in a suit as the groom's official today, saw all these little troublemakers coming, and asked his brother's eldest son, Qiao Conglin, "Aren't you going to eat? Take your brothers and sisters to eat." , Be careful and the lobby lady will come here later."
Qiao Conglin is not afraid of his uncle, but he is afraid of his mother.
"Why are you running to the top, why don't you go down to eat!"
The adults below didn't see the group of little troublemakers in their house. Chen Mingzhu came up and saw a group of children upstairs, and chased the group of little ghosts down for dinner. By the way, he reminded the bride and bridesmaids to clean up quickly Things went downstairs to eat.
A group of children were taken away by the adults, and the upstairs was suddenly much quieter.
After a while, the newly entered bride changed into a red cheongsam, and the groom took the bride downstairs to offer tea to the parents-in-law, mother-in-law and elder sister-in-law, and took the bride to recognize the elders. From now on, the bride will be the daughter-in-law of the Qiao family.
Compared with the bitterness and sadness of the woman's parents watching their daughter leave the house, the parents-in-law in the south are more happy and joyful when they see their son getting married and a new daughter-in-law entering the house.
"Okay, okay, live a good life with Mingyong in the future, and add a few more big fat boys to our old Qiao family." Aunt Qiao and Uncle Qiao took the new daughter-in-law and brought her daughter-in-law tea, and their old Qiao family had a new son from now on Daughter-in-law, maybe in the near future, they will have a few more little grandchildren running on the ground.
The sun set in the west, and the wedding banquet was coming to an end.
After everyone has eaten, the man's side will send someone to drive these bridesmaids home. There is an unmarried best man who has taken a fancy to the little girl who is going to be a bridesmaid, and wants to take advantage of this opportunity to be with the bridesmaids. Do a good job in front of him, and see if it's his turn to get married next time.
However, many of the bridesmaids who followed fell in love with the handsome little cousin of the groom's official family, and asked the bride how old the little cousin was and whether he had a girlfriend.
The bride secretly told her close sisters that this was their little boss. These bridesmaids all felt sorry for them. It seemed that they had little chance.
All the cousins drank alcohol today, only Qiao Minglang didn't drink anything, so the job of giving them away fell on him, and he drove the car to send these young ladies back home.Along the way, he was inevitably questioned and teased by these young ladies. The smile on his face remained unchanged as he answered the young ladies' questions, but he didn't think it was a big deal.
After several years of experience in college, he is no longer the boy who blushed when he talked to little girls. He is very skilled in dealing with girls, but he will not be shy and speechless.
By the time they sent off the guests at home, it was already dark outside.
Because of the wedding at home, everyone was tired for a few days. After the wedding, they finally got a good night's sleep.But after his little cousin's wedding was over, it was just a few days before Chinese New Year.
During the Chinese New Year in previous years, several of them would go to their uncle and aunt's house for New Year's Eve dinner, and this year's Chinese New Year is no exception.
This year is the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month. After everyone has breakfast, they will tear up the couplets pasted last year and re-paste new couplets and window paper.
Posting couplets requires climbing up and down ladders. In the past, these tasks were done by adults, but now these tasks naturally fall on young people like them. The uncles are already old, so let them The young man took over.
"Is this one left or right?"
"This one sticks to the left, this one sticks to the right."
"Is it correct?"
"Further to the left...well, yes, it's ok."
Qiao Minglang wanted to go up to paste the couplets, but his cousin didn't let him, so he held onto the ladder below and directed his cousin to paste the couplets upright.
The couplets of several of their families were posted together, and there was no distinction as to which one was posted first, and they were posted in a row, and whichever one was posted was that one.Both his uncle and the fifth uncle's family have several sons, only the second uncle's family has no sons, and several daughters are married, and they are the boys who help to post the Spring Festival couplets every year.
The happiest people in Chinese New Year are the children. Children don't understand the troubles of being one year older. In their eyes, Chinese New Year means a lot of delicious and fun things.
There are many children in their family. Except for the children in their family who are young and unmarried, all the other cousins and sisters are married.
All five cousins are married to their sisters-in-law. Except for the little cousin who just married his sister-in-law a few days ago and has no children, the other cousins and sisters-in-law each have at least two children. A sister-in-law gave birth to three, plus the two twins in their family, there are more than a dozen children in the family.
Fortunately, the place at home is large, a group of children gather to play together, and there is still a place to run.
A few days after his younger brother's wedding, Qiao Mingshan remembered that on the day his younger brother got married, he only saw his aunt and uncle's family coming to help, but not his sister-in-law and uncle's family, and asked his mother what happened. thing.
It stands to reason that they are still quite close, and the other party should be present at their family's wedding.
When the eldest son asked about the little girl, Aunt Qiao snorted and said, "What's the matter? I didn't intend to tell you about their family. Since you asked, I'll tell you."
"The son of your sister-in-law's family, do you remember him?"
Seeing her son nodding, Aunt Qiao continued: "It was also the end of the year, two months ago. Her son killed someone while driving outside and was arrested. It is said that he will be sentenced to 30 or 80 years. She was asked to pay [-] yuan... In the early years, they spoiled their son so much, I thought they would raise a beggar sooner or later."
"Are they here to help our family borrow money?" Qiao Mingshan asked after hearing something.
"That's right, you asked me and your dad to borrow 80 yuan as soon as you opened your mouth!" Aunt Qiao frowned, and she felt disgusted when she mentioned that sister-in-law and her family, "Don't talk about whether your dad and I have saved 80 yuan for a lifetime." Wan, even if your dad and I have it, we would never lend it to someone like them.
Dare to feel that their son killed someone with a car, and they don't want to pay any money when others want them to lose money, they just want to come to me and your father? "
"It's not that they don't have money, they can't give up even a penny. Could it be that the little money that your father and I have worked so hard to save is just for nothing? They think about going to other people's homes to play the autumn wind all day long. My family is not too poor to uncover the pot.
And their son, your father and your fifth uncle have opened a shop in the town to do business these years. Her son and her man often bring people to our shop to eat and drink for free. Every time they ask them for money, what do they say? We are all relatives, and I am ashamed to ask them for something for tens of dollars.I just happened to be in the store once, and seeing their behavior like this made me lose face for a while, so I didn't go to the store to eat for a while, and after a while, I came back shamelessly, father and son Neither is a good thing. "
Tens of dollars for a meal, several trips a month, thousands of dollars a year, at least tens of thousands of dollars over the years.
After a year of hard work, they only earn tens of thousands of dollars!
Their family is not short of such a little money now, but for this kind of relative, Aunt Qiao really thinks that it is best to break up, and she will have less contact in the future, "If they find you, don't care about borrowing money, you must not Lend it to them. What is the difference between this and a meat bun beating a dog? Could it be that our money is blown by the wind?
You said you paid 70 to 80, and you almost asked your relatives to borrow a little, but you borrowed [-] to [-] and didn’t pay back. We know that your family is struggling now, and we won’t say anything about you. I am so embarrassed to speak! "
"I think their son was spoiled like this by them, and he harmed someone else's life for nothing... I also heard from people in the town later that he relied on a man to go out to earn money to support his family. Small, there are still three or four children to support. Not long ago, the woman who died brought a group of children to their house to ask for money, crying at their door, and a large group of people in the town were watching the excitement. The house didn't even open the door, and everyone hid in the house, which is also a crime!"
"I'll ask someone to ask about this later." To be honest, Qiao Mingshan didn't like that sister-in-law and uncle's family either. He had been outside these years and hadn't had much contact with them.
He still remembers when he was working in his uncle's shop, how his uncle falsely accused him of stealing money, if he couldn't find a job in those years, he wouldn't have suffered so many years in that uncle's shop for nothing angry.Although there is no need to remember the things that have passed so many years, he still understands the behavior of that family very well.
"What's going on at home in the future, Auntie, you need to call me to discuss it." After all, these young people are out all year round, and only come back during the holidays. Qiao Mingshan is not very relieved in his heart Parents In the country, none of the young people were at home, and if something happened, they would not know.
"Or in the next year, Mommy, you and Dad will follow us to the city, and the shops in the town will be closed."
"Hey, how can I, your father and I have lived in this place for most of our lives, and your father and I went outside, and we don't know how to speak outside, and we are not used to living outside. With your grandfather here, we You have to take care of him at home." Aunt Qiao waved her hand, not wanting to follow her children outside.
In fact, she is still reluctant to part with the shops in the town. There are so many food shops in the town, none of them can compare with their family's business. She puts aside the good business and goes out to live with her children. She really didn't want to.
Seeing that his mother can't be persuaded, Qiao Mingshan just doesn't talk about it for the time being.
