Rebirth of Rural Literary Life

Chapter 318 The Son-in-Law Visits ([-])

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, He Ping got up from the kang in a huff.

The TV in the living room was still on, and he got up to see that the youngsters in the team had their eyes dazed and their hair disheveled like chicken coops.

Last night, when people in the team heard that He Ping's house could play movies, they all ran over, and the room was crowded with people, even the old captain was no exception.

In the middle of the night, those old and young couldn't bear to go back to sleep. Only this group of young people with strong firepower made it to the end. He Ping really couldn't beat them. He told them how to change the video tape and then went back to the bedroom. Go to sleep.

I didn't expect this group of people to wake up early in the morning and they still haven't dispersed.

"It's all gone, it's gone. Go back and wash your face, put on new clothes, and pay New Year's greetings." He Ping yawned and pushed people away.

Those in the first year of junior high school don’t go to New Year’s greetings, but stay at home and watch movies. Those old men and women should deal with it, especially the team bully Old Han.

The young people left He Ping's house reluctantly, and immediately rushed home, washed, ate, changed clothes as quickly as possible, and then went to pay New Year's greetings.

I can't hurry up, I have to come back to watch movies, Xiangjiang movies are really exciting.

He Ping also told Xiao Zhu'er to brush his teeth and wash his face quickly, and they had to go out to pay New Year's greetings later.

As soon as you go out, the road is full of people who come out to pay New Year's greetings. Everyone greets them with smiles and joy.

After tossing and tossing all morning, I finally finished the New Year greetings, and when I walked to the door of his house, I saw a young man squatting in a line at the door of his house.This group of boys hastily finished their New Year's greetings, and headed by Han Zhaoshe, they squatted at the door of his house, waiting for him to come back from the New Year's greetings and continue watching movies.

He Ping put these boys into the house, and went to catch up on sleep, and let these boys toss about the rest. He didn't go to bed until 05 o'clock last night, and woke up at 30:[-] in the morning. He was sleepy this morning .

After all, they are young people. They stayed up all night, and they didn't even need to rest after paying New Year's greetings, and then came back to watch TV.

He Ping slept until ten o'clock in the evening, and the boys were still watching movies.The videotapes of Xiangjiang movies that He Ping came back from Nanshan are almost not enough to watch.

Seeing that the eyes of these boys were as red as rabbits, He Ping was afraid that they would suffer another sudden death, so he started to chase them away.

"Go and go, hurry home and go to bed. I'll watch it when I have time. How long have I been watching this? I don't want my body anymore?"

After finally driving these boys home, He Ping sighed and looked at the melon rind and confetti all over the floor.

It's not a good thing to eat too much during the Chinese New Year. It's too much work to clean up. I was too happy to kick people out just now, and I forgot to let these boys clean up the house before leaving.

The next day, He Ping went to Mao Chunhua's house with Xiao Zhuer and gifts.

He came today with a very important task - to discuss his and Mao Chunhua's wedding date with Mao Xueshan and his wife.

"We don't have any objections, you two can decide." Mao Xueshan and his wife had the same opinion and respected He Ping's ideas.

"Then why not set it on May Day." He Ping said after thinking for a while.

He never pays much attention to auspicious dates. The weather around May [-]st is warm and the festive atmosphere is very strong, which is very suitable for marriage.

"Okay, let's decide on this day." Mao Xueshan also thought it was a good day, "Chunhua has no objections."

Mao Chunhua blushed, and said in a low voice, "Just make sure."

Mao Xueshan and his wife looked at their daughter and future son-in-law with a smile, and Wen Guizhen said, "You two, this matter is finally settled."

"Let your old man worry about you."

Mao Xueshan asked Xiao Zhuer with a kind smile on his face: "Xiao Zhuer, do you agree to the marriage between your father and your aunt Chunhua?"

Xiao Zhu'er was a little shy and didn't know how to answer, so she looked at He Ping timidly.

"Grandpa asked you something, you can just say it."

Xiao Zhuer nodded, "Agreed."

Mao Xueshan smiled and patted Xiao Zhuer's head, "Just agree, then when the two of them get married, your Aunt Chunhua will be your mother, you know?"

Mao Xueshan's words touched He Ping very much.

I have taken care of Xiao Zhu'er for so long, but sometimes I always ignore the child's feelings.Mao Xueshan's two words just now were undoubtedly afraid that his combination with Mao Chunhua would affect Xiao Zhu'er's mood.

After all, Xiao Zhu'er was not his own. She is 12 years old this year, a sensible age, and she must have some thoughts in her heart because of this incident.

What Mao Xueshan said was to minimize those negative thoughts in Xiao Zhuer's heart.

Thinking of this, He Ping knelt down, "Zhu'er, don't worry. From now on, you will not only have a father, but also a mother. From now on, we will be a family of three."

Mao Chunhua also squatted down, with a soft glow on his face, "Xiao Zhuer, Auntie will be your mother from now on."

When He Ping and the others were talking about their marriage, Xiao Zhu'er was still happily eating. Now that He Ping and the others had finished talking to him in a serious manner, he realized the impact of this incident on him.

The eye sockets started to turn red, and the little mouth was pouted. I don't know what happened. Anyway, I just feel wronged in my heart. I will have a mother in the future.

Mao Chunhua touched his face, "Don't cry, it's a good thing, right?"

Xiao Zhu'er tried her best to hold back her tears, "Yeah!"

Mao Xueshan patted Xiao Zhuer's head, "Okay, let's continue eating."

The family ate dinner happily.

While He Ping was having dinner at Mao Chunhua's house with Xiao Zhu'er, Han Zhaoguo was also having dinner at the old man's house with his daughter-in-law Ma Dongmei.

"Look how fat Dongmei is! When she is born, she will definitely give birth to a fat boy." Ma Dongmei's mother looked at her daughter and said.

"Okay, don't talk about it, what if it's a girl!" Ma Dongmei's father said.

"Bah, bah, crow's mouth."

The performance of her parents made Ma Dongmei very stressed. Her husband Han Zhaoguo was still by her side, so she was too embarrassed to say anything, so she had to change the topic.

"Dad, how much money did our family share this year?"

Ma Dongmei asked about the dividends from the chicken farm jointly run by Ding Tun and Han Tun. Ma Dongmei's father said, "It's more than 260 yuan, which is incomparable to your Han Tun."

Ma Dongmei heard the words: "That's not much."

"It's not much. Now, how many companies can earn more than 200 yuan a year? You two really don't know how to be blessed." Ma Dongmei's mother criticized.

"It's not much at all, and the chicken farm is not small, so it's just so small. We were similar to you this year the year before last, and we also shared 1000 yuan." Ma Dongmei said unconvinced.

"Then you have to give half of the money to Hantun. Besides, how many households are in our team and how many households are in your team?"

The scale of Dingtun is larger than that of Hantun, and the more households there are, the average distribution of money per household will naturally be less.
