Chapter 74 Poor people care about face, rich people care about becoming poor
The New Year’s Eve dinner was eaten at the old secretary’s house.
The young couple not only brought the two children there, but also brought a few hard dishes, such as fried meatballs, braised beef, and half a pot of lamb and scorpions.
There is no shortage of food at home.
So going to the old man’s house for dinner, it’s easier to have a daughter-in-law Yang Luoyan in addition to the excitement of the person.
As for face, it is something that people only consider when they are poor.
Wu Yuan doesn't care about that now.
It's a pity that someone cares.
For example, Yang Meng and Jiang Fan are awkward.
Not only because of the elder brother and elder sister, they all revolve around Wu Yuan's family.
It is because this year, the other three families have made money and lived out their hopes. Only his family, not only did not earn any money, but put all their savings into it.
The joys and sorrows of human beings are often not connected.
Seeing the children playing together quickly and eating the bread and chocolate brought by their little sister from home, YangMeng and Jiang Fan became more and more awkward.
Come to the kitchen and help out if you want to.
But this year, each small family brought their own ingredients to help cook.
The two of them were empty-handed and brought nothing.
Although no one said anything, it made them even more awkward.
Wu Yuan was handling the white fish fillets with a brush in his hands, and six children squatted in front of him.
Yang Qianfan, the daughter of the eldest brother's family, is the most active.
"Little uncle, I've been thinking about your boiled fish dish for a year." He couldn't help swallowing his saliva while speaking, "But I searched all over the county, and there is no such dish."
The other children followed suit and nodded.
"Come to my house if you want to eat, can my little uncle make it for you?"
Yang Qianfan shook his two braids and said, "No, Mom said that the little uncle is a person who does big things, so you can't disturb him casually."
Wu Yuan was very relieved: "At that time, you should eat more."
Yang Qianfan nodded heavily, she had been waiting for this day for a long time.
The other children are also scrambling: "Little uncle, little uncle, I want to eat more."
Wu Yuan pointed to the bean sprouts next to him and said, "I want to eat more, I need help. Choose this bean sprouts and put them under the fish fillets for a while, it will taste better."
The fat eldest son of the second brother's family, Yang Chong, frowned: "But little uncle, we won't choose."
"Take it and ask your mother, and all of you should go too."
While speaking, Wu Yuan took the washed fish slices and entered the room.
It's a pity that the stove in the kitchen has to be lined up.
Wu Yuan also had to go into the main room, wanting to chat with the father-in-law.
As a result, as soon as they entered the room, they heard Yang Zhishu scolding Yang Meng **** in front of Yang Ben and Ma Changshan.
"Look at your dejected look. If you know it, you are here for the New Year's Eve dinner. If you don't know it, you think you are here to cry for my funeral."
Wu Yuan hurriedly stopped him, "Father, don't talk nonsense."
Yang Ben and Ma Changshan also repeatedly echoed: "Yes, yes, yes."
Yang Zhishu changed the subject: "What's the big deal? Isn't it just a loss of thousands of dollars? As for your shameful brows and eyes for half a year? You are a man, you can afford everything! Look at your brother-in-law, he is facing such a big problem. Has the crisis manifested itself?"
Afterwards, the three of Wu Yuan gathered together to swallow their clouds.
He didn't intend to help YangMeng at all, and let Lao Yang continue to reprimand his second son.
In the kitchen, there are no outsiders.
Later, Yang Luoyan even asked with a blushing face: "Sister, you said that men are too energetic, is there a problem?"
Yang Chenyu didn't get it at first, so he said casually: "What's the problem with being energetic? The problem is not being energetic."
Regarding this non-questionable answer, Yang Luoyan was thinking about how to adjust the wording.
Seeing that the eldest sister suddenly understood, she looked angry and said with evil eyes: "You mean that?"
Yang Luoyan's face turned red instantly, and she didn't have the courage to answer.
Yang Chenyu understood and said: "You are still young and full of vigor, so do more, there will be no problem."
"Sister, will it be the same when you and your brother-in-law just got married?"
Yang Chenyu unconsciously recalled the physical comparison between Ma Changshan and Wu Yuan, plus the 'exuberant' energy bonus that made Yang Luoyan who was ashamed to ask this question, the answer he got was helpless.
But Yang Chenyu still nodded against his will: "Yes! So you have to cherish his current energy. Otherwise, when you reach my age, you will regret it too late."
Having said that, Jiang Fan brought in the selected and washed bean sprouts.
The two sisters immediately stopped talking.
Jiang Fan seemed to feel something, put down the bean sprouts, turned around and was about to leave.
"Second sister-in-law." In the end, Yang Luoyan stopped her and said, "I plan to open a clothing store in the next year, do you have time to help me?"
Jiang Fan turned around abruptly, his surprise was beyond words: "Really?" Then he nodded like a chicken chopping rice: "Yes, yes, yes!"
Yang Luoyan also said truthfully: "However, I am not sure that this clothing store will definitely make money. But Wu Yuan said, let me make troubles, and he will cover the bottom line. Of course, I will not renege on the salary that should be paid."
Jiang Fan was overjoyed in an instant, and leaned close to Yang Luoyan and said, "It's okay, the second sister-in-law is at your disposal."
"At that time, I will happily eat the New Year's Eve dinner, forget all the unhappy things in the past, and prepare for the new year."
"Um."
Watching Jiang Fan walk away briskly, Yang Chenyu asked: "You can be self-willed! Be careful that one day Wu Yuan will lose energy for you."
"Then I'm really looking forward to it." Yang Luoyan insisted, and then asked: "Sister, is it really possible?"
Yang Chenyu gave his younger sister a blank look: "I thought you really didn't care."
"Oh, sister~"
New Year’s Eve dinner, I had a great time.
On the one hand, YangMeng was numb by being scolded, so he simply let go of eating and drinking, and didn't talk much.
On the other hand, Jiang Fan became hopeful with Yang Luoyan's promise.
Of course, more importantly, the negative emotions of the two of them can't actually affect the overall situation.
In addition, the children ate happily and enjoyed themselves, and the atmosphere was naturally happy.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner.
The whole family was in the main room, setting up the scene and making dumplings together.
Uncle Wu Yuan sat next to him with the old branch secretary. It was enough to watch the Spring Festival Gala on TV without getting in the way.
The atmosphere of the Spring Festival Gala is still beaming.
It was almost ten o'clock when the dumplings were made.
Each household brought enough dumplings to eat tomorrow, and went back to each house.
When the young couple got home, they found that the dog was still hungry.
So Yang Luoyan went into the house to put the child down, and Wu Yuan went to the kitchen to make some leftovers for the dog to celebrate the New Year.
After finishing all this work, she returned to the east room of the main room, and at some point, Yang Luoyan had already changed into a pair of silky suspender pajamas, waiting for him gracefully.
"You made this pajamas by yourself according to the video from Hong Kong and Taiwan?"
"Well, how is it? His craftsmanship is not bad!"
Aww...
The answer to Yang Luoyan has no words, only actions.
