The cannon fodder of fast wear, she chooses to farm

Chapter 408 70s Stirring House Spirit (39)

Xu Yin cast an annoyed look at her partner, and went into the kitchen to make dinner.

Since guests are to be entertained, one staple food is not enough.

She went to her private plot to pick a big pumpkin and came back. She was going to make a cup of honeydew melon, then mix a bowl of thickened rice, and cook a pot of pumpkin wine.

The fermented glutinous rice is made of new glutinous rice and tastes very good.

Sweet and salty combination, balanced nutrition.Perfect!
Smelling the sweet smell coming from the kitchen, Xu Chengjin took out a stack of letters and asked Wang Zhibo to post them in the morning.

"All manuscripts for magazines? So many?"

Wang Zhibo knew that he was writing for a magazine.

This kid doesn't show his talents. In fact, in the past two years, his pen has earned much more than the salary of the brigade primary school.

After weighing the letter in his hand, Wang Zhibo envied and admired: "You have produced a lot recently?"

With so many manuscripts, once accepted, the manuscript fee is hard to say!
Xu Chengjin responded wholeheartedly: "Well, almost."

Only one is not.

He didn't think about whether to send this letter before, but he didn't expect Captain Zhao to be so impatient, so let's solve it at once.

……

When the second elder of the Xu family found out that the daughter-in-law of the third eldest family had come to visit her son-in-law, their first reaction was to breathe a sigh of relief.

Of course, they also hope that the third child's family will recruit a son-in-law, so that the third child will have a descendant.

But even though they are not rich these days, they are still much better than the old society where they were too poor to survive and had to sell their children and daughters.

As long as life can go on, who is willing to let their son get in the door?
Therefore, the second elder was always worried that no one would be willing to be the son-in-law of the third elder's family, causing Yin Yatou to wait for a year to delay becoming an old maid.

Didn't expect it to be settled so soon?
While the two elders breathed a sigh of relief, they couldn't help but wonder, which one did they belong to?There are so many sons that you don't feel bad about sending one to someone else?
So taking a moment, Shuangshuang came to the youngest son's house to understand the situation.

Seeing Xu Chengjin, the two elders couldn't hide their surprised expressions: Such a handsome young man is willing to step in the door backwards?
I was even more surprised to learn that he was still an educated youth.

Educated youths are from the city, and the city people are willing to let the country people intrude?
Are you right?

Mrs. Xu pulled Xu Yin to a corner and asked in a low voice: "His family really agrees? Don't you hide it from your family? This is not a trivial matter. Now you hide it from your family. In the future, when your raw rice is cooked into cooked rice and paper What should I do if I can't contain the fire?"

"Grandma." Xu Yin brought her a chair for the old man and told her to sit down and talk, "His family is fine."

Specifically, Xu Yin didn't tell the old lady too much.

He trusted her to tell her the past, which was like digging flesh out of a wound, but she was unwilling to make irresponsible remarks about the deceased.As for his scumbag father, he must have passed away too.

"His parents agree?" Mrs. Xu turned her head to look at the handsome and gentle future grandson-in-law, "Just agree! Just agree!"

The old lady was very satisfied.

Mrs. Xu also got an affirmative answer from the third Xu, and she was also very satisfied.So the marriage was put on the agenda.

"Is the wedding date set?"

"It's settled!" Mr. Xu clapped his hands happily and announced, "The fifth day of September! It's about a month later than Yuanyuan. It just so happens that the autumn harvest is over, and everyone is free."

"Okay! It's a good day!"

The two elders nodded, indicating that the day was chosen well.

Mrs. Xu secretly stuffed a roll of money for Xu Yin: "Pull a piece of cloth for myself to make a red wedding dress. There are also bed sheets, quilts, etc., and buy a set for festive ones. Cotton, your mother and I As I said, I have saved some, you and Yuanyuan’s marriage, you two are half of the family, I will find out if there is not enough, and I promise to sew a few quilts for you.”

"Grandma, you don't need to..."

"I want it! It's a once-in-a-lifetime happy event, how can I not do it!" Mrs. Xu gave her granddaughter a reproachful look, and then told the third and third couple not to relax, and continue to work hard to earn work points and fight for the daughter's marriage. Add a few decent pieces of furniture to the room.

"The boss bought Yuanyuan 36 legs, a large wardrobe, a chest of drawers, a bookcase, a dressing table, a writing table, and four wooden chairs. Although your family has no bride price, the wedding room is set up in your own home. It doesn’t have to be compared with Yuanyuan, but it can’t be too bad. Bookcases and writing desks can be absent, but wardrobes and chests of drawers need to be taken care of, right? When you are parents, you can’t be lazy and foolish..."

"I know I know!" Xu Laosan nodded seriously, "I've asked the carpenter to beat him."

Er Lao: "Really?"

Why do you not believe it?

"Oh, can you still lie to you about this? Ask the carpenter and you'll know."

Right!

After the Xu family's old couple came out of their son's house, they really went to ask the carpenter.

Xu Laosan looked at the direction they were walking: "..."

Hey!I'm so untrustworthy?

Xu Chengjin is still sleeping in the main room of Xu's house recently because of her inconvenient legs and feet.

It's just that the door panel was replaced with a brown stretcher, and a layer of old felt was added, making it much more comfortable to lie on.

Xu Yin waited for him to wash up and sit on the bed, holding a kerosene lamp and was about to go back to the room when he stopped her.

"Here you are."

He handed her an envelope, which was thick to the touch.

"what?"

"Beauty gift." Xu Chengjin looked at her with a smile and said, "I heard what grandpa and grandma said. Your uncle's cousin made a set of furniture with 36 legs, so let's make a set of 48 legs. Or do you want to make it together?" A more auspicious number, sixty-six legs?"

Xu Yin: "..."

She lowered her head and rubbed the envelope, then opened it and took a look, gasped, "Where did you get so much money?"

No wonder such a rich and powerful man is willing to buy a set of furniture with 66 legs.

"You earn money by submitting articles." He leaned lazily against the wall, as if he was looking at the flickering kerosene lamp sparks, and seemed to be looking at her through the dim light, "So you don't have to worry."

Xu Yin was a little dazed: "What am I worried about?"

"..." Xu Chengjin was slightly taken aback, "Didn't you hear? In the senior class, there are other educated youths taking classes for me. In the future, I will be like you and need to go to the fields to earn work points. But I'm not afraid of your jokes, I really don't care about farm work. good at."

Xu Yin shrugged: "I didn't count on you."

Xu Chengjin raised his eyebrows lightly: "Then if I don't have a source of royalties, what will you think of me? Treat me like a bad boy?"

Xu Yin chuckled, folded her arms around her chest, and looked at him jokingly: "I think it's quite appropriate for you to say that. I'm in charge of farming and supporting my family, and you're in charge of being beautiful..."

"..."

Xu Chengjin smiled angrily, and waved to her: "Come here."

Xu Yincai ignored him, and waved the envelope in her hand: "Since my future husband insists on giving the bride price, then I will be disrespectful! Good night!"

After speaking, she picked up the kerosene lamp and ran away.

Xu Chengjin: "..."

After a long time, the tip of his tongue touched his cheek and he smiled.

In the dark night of the crouching moon, the bright smile like the stars makes the winter go away and the galaxy shines forever.
