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

Hearing the footsteps outside the door fading away, Song's father seemed to be deflated. He walked into the main room and sat down.

Song's mother didn't say anything, she just poured a cup of hot water on the table, and then took the used cup off the table to wash it.

Song Shuangshuang looked at her younger brother and knew that it was not easy for Song's father to say such words as severing ties, so it would be good to let Song's father be alone for a while.

The eldest brother of the Song family also walked into the main room and sat next to Song's father.

He knew that Song's father was upset, upset that the old lady, as a mother, didn't care about him at all, and her heart and eyes were filled with only her uncle's family.

The Song family became quiet again...

Fortunately, Song's father recovered after a while.

"Okay, now that Youhui's marriage is settled, we have to get busy.

Shuangshuang, Youlin, you two have finally come back and should have had a good rest, but the factory won't let me and your brother take leave.

So you two may have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to queue up to buy things with your mother these days."

Originally, Song's father wanted to take two days off with Song's mother to buy some things.

But the factory is very busy this year and their workshop does not allow leave at all, so the two children have to work hard to buy things.

Song Shuangshuang didn't think it mattered. She and Youlin were staying at home anyway, so she might as well help with some housework.

"Does my mom have to ask for leave from the factory? Will her salary be deducted?"

Father Song nodded.

You can't just ignore your boss's marriage for the sake of a little salary.

Song Shuangshuang gave Song Youlin, who was standing next to her, a look and asked him to cooperate with her for a while. Then she cleared her throat and said

“Why don’t I ask my mom to take a leave? Youlin and I can go.

During this period, there are many people eating in the factory and the canteen is also busy.

If my mother takes leave, her work will have to be done by others. Wedding things cannot be bought in one day. I don't want my mother to take leave for a long time, otherwise her colleagues will be unhappy and hold a grudge against her.

Everyone works in the cafeteria, which is inappropriate.”

Not to mention the distant future, if such a thing happened to her, she would not want it.

Take the example of them, the brother and sister, eating together with He Feiyang and Tan Anjing.

Although Tan Anjing came home earlier than them at noon during the busy farming season and would prepare meals in advance, they would also cook in advance during the slack season so that she could eat directly after returning.

They also had to collect firewood after the autumn harvest. Most of the firewood was collected by the three of them going up the mountain, but whenever Tan Anjing had a break, she would get up early to cook, and even rush to cook, clear the table and wash the dishes.

I just don't want to wait for everything to be ready and ruin the relationship between us.

But this involves conflicts of interest for Song's mother, so this definitely cannot be done.

Who would be willing to do more work for the same salary?

Besides, getting married is not something that can be prepared in a day or two. Even if you don’t ask for leave, being late and leaving early every day is not okay.

The leader is not blind. He can just let someone report it to the factory and that will be the end of it.

Father Song was silent. He was thinking too simply.

"We can't let you two kids do it all."

I have never heard of any family where the eldest brother gets married but the parents don't go out to buy things, leaving the two younger siblings to run around to prepare things.

Song's mother also came back from the kitchen after washing the cups and also disagreed.

"I have a good relationship with Sister Liu and the others, and I have already informed them in advance. It's no big deal."

Song Shuangshuang: "..."

Is this a matter of good relationship and advance notice?

"That's not the case, Mom.

It’s one thing that you have a good relationship with Aunt Liu and the others, but the New Year is coming soon and everyone’s family has a lot of things to do.

If you ask for leave, your work will fall on them. Aunt Liu and her friends are doing the work of one more person, so they will definitely not be able to leave work on time.

Let's not talk about others, but don't you know Aunt Wang? If Aunt Wang comes home late, she will definitely complain about her and say this and that about her.

It's Chinese New Year, let's not cause trouble for others."

Song Youhui disagreed with his mother's opinion.

Song's mother opened her mouth and then closed it again. She was only thinking about arranging the wedding for her eldest son and forgot that there were a lot of things waiting for them to do at her colleague's home.

Secretly, she still wanted her two children, who had just returned from Heilongjiang Province, to have a good rest at home instead of asking them to work as soon as they got back.

“Mom and Dad, leave this matter to me and my sister.

You just give us the money and write us a receipt, and we can just buy according to the receipt."

Song Youlin also found it strange. Wouldn't it be fine if whoever was free at home could go buy it?

Why does Song's mother have to take leave to come back? It will not only reduce her salary but also make her offend people easily.

He and his sister are not fools, how could they not understand what to buy according to the list?

Song Shuangshuang also nodded to show her agreement.

That’s right, just buy according to the list.

It would be more convenient if we let them queue up to buy vegetables and meat, there is plenty of them in the space!

The quality and quantity are guaranteed, enough for my eldest brother’s wedding banquet.

In the end, Song's father didn't even have time to rest. He wrote a list with Song's mother and was ready to let Song's mother go shopping with him after a while.

You can't really leave all the work to the two children.

“Mom and Dad, I think we should go to the Li family first.

The old lady and the eldest aunt came to make such a scene today. The Li family must have some thoughts in their minds. They will probably ask someone to find out what is going on in our family.

While things are not yet prepared, let's take the initiative to explain things to them.

This will save the old lady and the aunt from causing trouble after the Li family girl gets married. We will have to quarrel over this and our lives will be miserable.”

Song's father and mother stopped what they were doing.

Mother Song had no idea and could only look at Father Song to see what he would say.

"Go ahead, carry something."

Song's father was also afraid that the Li family would regret marrying their daughter to him in the future and knowing that there was such a difficult relative. It would be better to make things clear before the couple could make a big fuss.

If the Li family cannot accept it, they will find someone else for the eldest brother.

Song's father is now open-minded and knows that family harmony is more important than anything else.

Song Shuangshuang thought of the Li family members who had eavesdropped before, and felt that it would be better to make it clear.

Some things are not a problem, but they are a problem of hiding them.

Once the truth comes out, the consequences will be even more serious.

Song's father, mother and eldest brother changed their clothes and went to Li's house.

At this time, the Li family of four had just returned home. Except for Li Yueyue, the other three were talking about what had just happened.

Li's mother felt that her daughter's character was a little weak, and she would definitely suffer if she met Old Lady Zhang after she got married.

"Although the eldest brother of the Song family is protective of his own people, I am afraid that he will not be able to protect Yueyue. Didn't you hear the girl from the Song family say that the two siblings were almost beaten to death? I am worried that Yueyue will suffer if she goes there."

Although they had heard about these things before, they had a different idea after seeing it with their own eyes today.

The old lady of the Li family doesn't think so.

Although she is old, her hearing is very good. The old lady of the Song family didn't get any advantage.

I think the Song family also knows that they can't be bullied like this.

Old Mrs. Li and Li's mother each have their own ideas, so it depends on what Li's father says.

Seeing that his mother and daughter-in-law were staring at him, Father Li nervously moved to the side and said,

"How about we listen to the children's opinions?"
