Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

"Mom, did they say what time they would arrive?" Song Shuangshuang remembered that she seemed to have mentioned it yesterday, but didn't say the specific time.

"In the afternoon, your father will be home at that time."

Song Shuangshuang said "Oh" and felt something was wrong.

"Mom, shouldn't our family go to the girl's family to discuss the marriage?" How come it's the other way around, as if my eldest brother is going to marry into the girl's family.

"It's been a long time since we've had a date, and the girl's family is also very particular and wants to accommodate our family.

I heard that your dad won't be back from get off work until noon these days, and it just so happens that a relative of his is getting married today, so he's coming over after having the wedding banquet at the relative's house."

"Oh, so their family is pretty good."

"No."

Song's mother also thought this marriage was good.

Song Shuangshuang didn't know what was wrong with her, and suddenly asked, "Have you told the old lady about this?"

She really didn't want to admit that the dead old lady was her grandmother, and she didn't want to acknowledge her uncle's family either.

Song's mother was stunned for a while before she realized that the old lady her daughter was talking about was her mother-in-law.

"No, just tell her two days before your brother gets married." Song's mother said in a light tone, as if she was talking about something unimportant.

Seeing her mother's reaction, Song Shuangshuang felt relieved.

Before she came back, she was always worried that Song's father and mother would be too filial again and create a scene where the mother was unkind and the son was extremely filial.

Then she would have to run away overnight.

"Youlin and I, do we have to go see her during the New Year?" Song Shuangshuang asked casually.

Mother Song hesitated for a while before nodding.

"Go take a look when the time comes, sit for a while and come back."

"Oh……"

She didn't want to go at all.

Seeing her daughter's resistance, Song's mother explained that if others knew that the brother and sister came back for the New Year and did not visit their elders, they would be criticized.

"When you return to the city in the future, whenever you talk about marriage, people will bring it up and say that you two are ignorant. How can you find a wife and get married?"

Song Shuangshuang: "..."

She doesn't want to get married at all. No, she has a partner now.

And even if they return to the city, they will go to Beijing and settle down in Beijing. Who can say anything about them?

By the way, when she returns to Jiangjia Village, she will have to ask Jiang Jingcheng.

If the old lady could live another ten years, she would not visit her during the holidays.

Would he think this is unfilial and cold-hearted?

If you think she is unfilial, then goodbye.

Song Youlin also heard the conversation between the mother and daughter outside.

Song Youlin could also understand Song's mother's answer.

Elders, no matter what you do wrong, in the end, you will just say

"He is your elder, you need to be sensible and understand them." Then he put aside the wrong things he had done before.

If you keep holding on to it, it will be your fault as a young man.

He estimated that a trip to visit the old lady during the New Year was inevitable.

At lunch, Song's father and eldest brother ate in the factory cafeteria, leaving only the mother and her two children at home.

Song's mother even specially prepared the dishes that Song Shuangshuang and her brother used to like, hoping that the two children would eat more.

“Shuangshuang, if you like this dish, eat more.

And this, Youlin, can you pick it up?"

Song's mother didn't even bother to eat herself and kept picking up food for Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin.

But anyway, it’s really what the two original owners like to eat.

It’s not what the siblings like to eat.

In order not to make Song's mother sad, the brother and sister pretended to be very happy and ate it.

Song Shuangshuang was very glad that she was not picky about food, otherwise it would be difficult to explain why her mother cooked two dishes that she couldn't swallow.

"Mom, eat some yourself. We can get some food."

This made her feel very stressed and uncomfortable.

After lunch, Song's mother was not idle either. She started to clean up the main room so that her future in-laws would be ready to come soon.

"You're back, go into the room and lie down for a while, you can get some sleep."

Song's mother felt sorry for Song's father who had been up all night, and wanted him to go into the house to rest for a while and wait for his in-laws to come before getting up.

"No, I'll help you clean up. It's not appropriate for me to get up when they come. It will make people think that our family doesn't value their daughter."

"Then you don't have to work, just take a rest."

In the end, Song's father did not listen to Song's mother and went into the house. He followed her to clean up the main room.

Song Shuangshuang had just washed a few apples and put them on the table in the main room as instructed by her mother when there was a knock on the door outside.

"It must be the Li family. Come on, Old Song, go into the house and change your clothes. Don't wear this old one.

You two...you two don't need to change."

Song's mother also quickly took off her apron and tidied the hair around her ears as she walked out.

“Here it comes.

Now that you are here, come in quickly, it is very cold outside." Song's mother beckoned everyone to come in.

At this time, Song's father also changed his clothes and came out.

"I'm sorry, the factory has been too busy lately and I really can't take leave, so I have to let you come."

"It's okay, I understand. I just took a break recently, otherwise I wouldn't be free."

The person who spoke was Mr. Li, and there was no sign of him minding from his tone.

At least that's what Song Shuangshuang thought.

"Come in and sit down."

The two families entered the house.

Without Song's father and mother saying anything, Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin took the initiative to take cups and kettles and pour water for the Li family of four.

"These are your daughter and youngest son, right?"

Mother Li remembered her sister-in-law saying that except for the eldest son Song Youhui, the other son and daughter of the Song family had all gone to the countryside.

"Yes, these two kids knew that their eldest brother was getting married, so they came back from Heilongjiang Province to help."

"Your three children have such a good relationship! Unlike me, who only have one daughter."

After hearing what Song's mother said, Li Yueyue blushed with embarrassment.

Mother Li looked around and didn't see the eldest brother of the Song family, so she asked, "Hey, where is your eldest brother?"

"I'm sorry, there was something urgent at the factory, so I called him back. I told him to come back as soon as he was done, so I think he'll be here soon."

Song's father didn't expect that he would fail at this time.

"It's okay. Let's discuss it first without the child."

Although Mrs. Li is old, she is clear-headed and knows that the child is not to blame.

The steel plant is the largest factory in their city. There is nothing they can do about it, as they have to work overtime during the New Year and other holidays.

What happens next is discussed by both parents.

Not only the brother and sister, but also Li Yueyue became the background board.

The girl only said a word when the parents of both sides mentioned her and asked for her opinion.

While the two were talking, Song Shuangshuang noticed that her right eyelid twitched.

This feeling……

There can't be anything bad happening.

As for the content of the conversation between the two families, Song Shuangshuang only listened to how much dowry her family would give.

For the Song family, which has little financial resources, three turns and one ring is unlikely, but three turns is definitely possible.

The betrothal gift is 188 yuan, and a wedding banquet will be held at the Song family on the wedding day.

The Li family did inquire about the situation of the Song family.

There is naturally nothing to criticize about the way Song Sanqiu's family behaves and no one says anything bad about them.

But they were too good. The couple often cleaned up the mess made by their biased and incompetent eldest brother's family, and even used up all their monthly salary to pay for it.

It was only in the past two years that we became tough enough to ignore them.

It is not easy to save up the money for the bride price in just over a year.
