Chapter 80 Good Mother-in-Law
“Have we almost used all the meat coupons our family has saved in the past few months for our engagement this time?”
At the county farmer’s market, Lin Shu looked at Gu Jiu took out his money bills and found two 4-tael meat coupons from a pile of colorful bills.
Every person in the city only has 4 taels of meat coupons per month. The bowl of steamed rice noodles last night should have weighed a pound and a half. Here Gu Jiu took out two more 4 taels of meat coupons. His ration of 4 taels per month was Not enough for him to eat.
Gu Jiu can now produce two months' worth of meat coupons. He can only say that Wang Suzhen brought these meat coupons.
"Don't worry, my brothers and sisters-in-law will honor my parents' meat stamps every month."
Lin Shu grabbed Gu Jiu's arm and exited the meat stall, "The steamed pork belly last night is not available at home yet. After eating, let’s not buy any meat today.”
Gu Jiu hesitated, "The old lady asked me to buy meat."
"Oh, let's go, I won't buy meat today."
There is no ticket for vegetables in the farmer's market, but There are regulations on the amount that each person can buy every day, and they cannot exceed the amount stipulated by the market.
Such regulations have no impact on Lin Shu and the others. They are not in the north, and the vegetables are fresh and more delicious every day. They pick a little of each vegetable and buy enough for one day, then they leave the farmer's market.
"My old lady will take the train at noon tomorrow."
"Auntie is going back tomorrow?"
"Yes, the main reason for coming here this time is for my marriage. Now that she’s done with it, it’s time for her to go back. My dad is alone at home, and he can’t live without the care of the old lady.”
His mother has been here for a few days, which is a huge favor from his dad. .
"Your father is so dependent on your mother in life?" This surprised Lin Shu.
"They have been through ups and downs together for decades, and now no one can live without the other when they are old?"
To be honest, this kind of relationship is very enviable, and even more so. Not to mention Lin Shu, a woman who experienced old age for once.
As a person gets older, he will always have some physical problems. He usually suffers from headaches and fever. It is very inconvenient not to have a wife around to take care of him.
Don’t mention having children or a nanny. Although these people are good to you, they still don’t have a wife to use.
For example, if you have a cold or fever and want to drink water in the middle of the night, your nanny or children cannot be by your side at all times.
It would be different if you have a wife by your side, who can help you get a glass of water at any time.
The two returned home. The old lady was sitting on the lounge chair in the hall reading the newspaper. After a few words of greeting, the two young men went into the kitchen.
There was still half a bowl of steamed pork left last night. Gu Jiu took a piece of bacon from the beam, which weighed about four or five kilograms. He was going to wash it, cook it, and save it for later eating.
"When I came here last time, I remembered that there was no bacon hanging in the beams." Lin Shu looked up at the dark kitchen beams. There were now two strips of bacon hanging on them, weighing about four. Five pounds a piece.
Gu Jiu poured hot water into the basin. He raised his eyes and raised his eyebrows, a bit to show off, "I went to a nearby village to exchange for it some time ago."
Firstly, because he was engaged to Lin Shu and was thinking about her. You can't come home without eating even a piece of meat. Secondly, knowing that the old lady was coming, I thought about changing more, and when the old lady went back, I would bring her two yuan back.
The old man in the family also likes to eat bacon, especially bacon. The bacon is boiled in water and then steamed for half an hour. The old man can eat half a catty of such crystal clear bacon at a time.
"Is it exchanged in the village?" Lin Shu washed the rice, came close to him and asked in a low voice: "Aren't you also buying, selling, and speculating?"
"." Gu Jiu paused while washing the bacon and asked a little uneasily: "If I say yes, you won't dislike me, right?"
"Why do I dislike you?" Lin Shu's eyes lit up. He felt that he had a good vision in choosing a husband. At least he dared to speculate, which is commendable for his courage.
“You dislike me for not doing my job properly.”
Lin Shu raised an index finger and shook it: “No, no, no, it just so happens that I also like not doing my job properly, like mountain running, and I like speculation. We both In terms of career, heroes have the same views. From now on, we will help each other and reach a higher peak in life together." These words came out of Lin Shu's mouth, which quite surprised Gu Jiu.
After all, among women in this era, who doesn’t want their man to be able to provide an iron rice bowl and have a stable job?
Having a stable job is basically the first choice for finding a partner in the city.
At noon, the two of them fried chili lentils with bacon, a loofah and egg soup, a stir-fried gourd and gourd, and half a bowl of steamed rice noodles. The three of them had a full belly.
In this day and age, this menu is already considered a hearty meal.
After eating, Wang Suzhen handed Lin Shu a red envelope.
When the red envelope was handed to him, Lin Shu was confused.
The Gu family likes to give out red envelopes so much?
"You officially become a member of our family today. This red envelope welcomes you to join our big family. Accept it quickly." Wang Suzhen explained with a smile.
Lin Shu took the red envelope, which was very heavy. Is this considered the change fee for the new wife’s entrance?
"Um. Um, mom, we are all one family. You are too polite."
Eat people with short lips and soft hands with others. In front of money, Lin Shu opened her mouth to call her mother without any spine.
Auntie, etc., stand aside in front of money and sincerity.
It is a blessing for a woman to meet such a good mother-in-law in her life.
“Hey, be good, live a good life with Brother Jiu from now on. If Brother Jiu doesn’t listen to my wife and makes you feel wronged, just call me and I’ll deal with him. Also, when will you do it? When you go to the provincial capital, remember to let us know in advance so that your dad and I can prepare in advance so that we can arrange a wedding banquet for you.”
Wang Suzhen has an elegant temperament and speaks in a gentle voice, which is really nice to hear. Very comfortable.
Faced with such a mother-in-law, Lin Shu nodded obediently: "Okay."
Turning around, Wang Suzhen lectured her son, asking him to be good to his wife, listen to her words, etc. Hearing this, Gu Jiu felt dizzy and hurriedly promised that he would be good to his wife in this life.
The sun was scorching outside. After lunch, everyone sat and chatted for a while, then went back to their rooms for a lunch break.
Lin Shu’s lunch break is usually one hour.
When I woke up, I saw that the sky outside had turned cloudy, and soon it became darker and darker, accompanied by lightning and thunder.
“Mom, it’s going to rain heavily.”
Wang Suzhen was sitting in the hall reading a book. Now the sky was getting dark. Reading was too much for her eyes, so she put down the book.
"Shu Shu woke up, come and sit. Don't worry about the heavy rain. The roof at home is repaired every year and it won't leak."
Gu Jiu also woke up. He checked every room. If the windows were not closed properly, he would close them.
"Brother Ninth, come and sit here, too. You are young, but you always look like you haven't had enough sleep. Unlike an old woman like me, who doesn't sleep enough."
Gu Jiu beat him He yawned. He didn't sleep too much. He didn't sleep since he lay down at noon. As for why, a young man should understand everything.
As soon as he sat down, he yawned again. He noticed that Lin Shu was looking at him, rubbed his face and raised the corners of his mouth slightly at her.
"It's raining and the weather is cool now. If you want to sleep, you can go back to sleep." Lin Shu saw that he was really lack of energy.
“I won’t sleep anymore.” Gu Jiu shook his head, peeled off a toffee and threw it into his mouth.
