Chapter 624: Sixty Things, Fine Factory Flowers (48)
On the day when the man went to the woman's house for employment, Xu Yin put on the lady's watch that Sheng Yujin gave her during the National Day last year. It was just a couple's watch like the one on his hand, and she also put on the watch made by herself. New clothes.
Xu Fang was so jealous that she ran to complain to Xu's mother: "Mom, look at the fourth child. The watch and new clothes must have been given by the man. It's better to convert them into cash and give them to our family."
Xu's mother thought so in her heart, but the factory leaders didn't help her, so what could be done.
Fortunately, the man also brought a pair of large pig knuckles and two carps, which were not enough for the banquet.
The second child got married last year. As the groom's family, she saved some meat tickets and cut three kilograms of meat, which was enough.
These two pig knuckles weigh ten kilograms together. Instead of giving it to the guests, it is better to sell one for money, cut the other in half and rub it with salt.
Only one carp was used, and the other was kept in the water tank to be eaten slowly.
After Xu Yin found out, she didn't expose it on the spot. She calmly let Xu Yin keep a portion of the pig knuckle and carp.
After the wedding banquet was held and the guests were sent away, she carried the pig knuckles and carps that were useless for the banquet, took Sheng Yujin’s arm, and the couple prepared to return to the breeding farm.
Xu's mother was so anxious that she chased her out: "Fourth brother, why are you still taking these away? Didn't your in-laws ask us to host a banquet for you?"
"Mom, don't worry. I didn't mention going to the Sheng family. We went directly back to the breeding farm." Xu Yin pretended not to know Xu's mother's little thoughts and said with a smile, "Mom was thoughtful and left a portion for me. My colleagues at the farm can’t take leave and can’t come home to have a wedding banquet, so I’m going to go back to the farm to host two more tables. The dishes my mother saved for me are enough to treat them to a meal.”
…”
Xu’s mother was petrified.
The fish and meat left behind secretly, is it cheap for Lao Si?
Xu Yin didn't care about her ugly face. After the magic defeated the magic, she happily jumped on the man's bicycle, with a pig knuckle and a carp hanging on both sides of the bike, and happily returned to her small home on the farm.
Sheng Yujin rode out for a while before she couldn't hold back her laughter and said, "Isn't this not very good for the mother-in-law?"
Xu Yin held her hand around his waist and pinched his lean waist: "What? Are you feeling distressed? Then you can send it back to her?"
"How can it not be possible? If my wife is happy, I will be happy. If the mother-in-law is unhappy, then there is no father-in-law."
Xu Yin punched him and laughed.
She has long seen that quarrels and cold wars are of no use when dealing with Xu's mother and those more thoughtful brothers and sisters. Instead, it gives them a reason to complain to the leader. Whoever is thick-skinned wins. It should be like today, magic defeats magic, oh yeah!
After getting married, Xu Yin moved from the single dormitory to the small bungalow with a yard in the southeast corner of the office building, and Sheng Yujin also moved from the single dormitory in the Textile General Factory.
Hands of clothing are very scarce when a man moves house.
Seeing him packing all the luggage with just a bedroll, she felt inexplicably distressed just like when she first came to the breeding farm.
He unfolded the bedding he had brought, took it to the yard to bask in the sun, and put it away until it was dry and fluffy.
From now on, the bedding of this single bed will not be used for the time being, unless there is a child, and it is a small bed for the child.
“Boom!”
A small cloth bag fell out of the pillow.
Xu Yin picked it up curiously and jokingly asked Sheng Yujin, who was arranging his belongings in the room: "Have you saved any money for your house?"
“Private money? Impossible! I’ll give it all to you!”
When Sheng Yujin said this, something suddenly occurred to her, and she rushed out of the back room, but unfortunately she was still a step too late.
Xu Yin opened the small cloth bag and saw a familiar embroidered handkerchief inside, as well as a pair of gold earrings wrapped in the handkerchief.…”
“Well, my wife, it was hard to sell gold at that time. Such a beautiful pair of earrings were left to you by your grandma. It’s a pity to sell them so cheaply.”
“What about the handkerchief? Didn’t you drop it?”
“…Well, it fell. Why didn’t it fall into my nest?”
…”
Xu Yin was amused by his shamelessness.
Sheng Yujin breathed a sigh of relief, as long as he wasn't angry.
He walked over, lowered his head and pecked the corner of her mouth: "Just this once, I won't hide anything from you in the future."
After half a year of cleaning and decoration, the small bungalow that looks shabby from the outside and not as grand as the building is now very comfortable to live in.
A grape trellis was set up in one corner of the yard, and a vegetable patch was opened in the other corner. Clumps of insect-repellent flowers and plants were planted in the corners. Green onions, spring onions, and cacti are also potted on the walls.
The long and deep room is divided into three rooms. The entrance is through a long and narrow corridor. She designed the corridor wall as a photo wall and a work column.
There are wedding photos of her and Sheng Yujin on the photo wall, as well as photos of her receiving the Model Worker Award on stage;
A small blackboard is hung on the work column to record special times for overtime work and compensated days off.
The first one on the left is the bedroom, which faces south and is not so dark and damp; the middle is the living room and dining room, and the kitchen is by the back door.
The kitchen leads to the backyard that is connected to the neighbors.
After the entire biogas tank was ventilated and electrified, toilets were rebuilt in the staff dormitories, but due to limited materials, only one shared by several households was possible.
Compared to the previous open-air toilets, this one is pretty good, at least it’s clean.
When Xu Yin planted flowers and plants in her small yard, she also planted a circle of low-key insect repellent spices such as mugwort, calamus, and lemongrass around the public toilet, which can repel insects and deodorize.
Sheng Yujin loved this small family so much that she would rather ride a bicycle for an hour or two every day than live at home.
Xu Yin was worried that his body would not be able to bear it.
Summer is fine, but after late autumn, it’s still dark when I go out in the morning. Especially after winter comes, the cold wind is biting. If things go on like this, the knees will not suffer from rheumatism. It depends on how he can stand it in his old age.
So they communicated with the head of the main factory to see if they could allow him to drive the truck back to the farm when he got off work. They would bear the gas costs for this round trip themselves.
Director Lin has always admired Xu Yin. Seeing that she rarely made a request and was willing to pay for the gas, there was nothing to disagree with.
As a result, Sheng Yujin drove the truck back to the breeding farm every day, and Xu Yin would take the time to help him inspect the car to ensure his safety when driving.
So much so that he only goes back to the Department of Transportation once a week, but his car is better maintained than others who drive it back every day.
The director of the Transportation Department found it strange. He caught him once and asked him: "Xiao Sheng, your car is well maintained! Not only is the exterior wiped clean, but there is nothing wrong with the interior after inspection. How do you usually maintain it?"
When Sheng Yujin thought of her daughter-in-law, her eyes were particularly gentle: "My wife will help me check the condition of the car whenever she is free."
…”
You put the credit for your own achievements on your wife, right?
Lesbians can’t even drive a car, but can they still repair it? What are you showing off!
Sheng Yujin: No one believes the truth?
His wife is indeed so capable!
