Reborn since 2005

Chapter 394
"Boss? Isn't my boss Feng Xi?" Bai Xiaoling cheered up, "Is there any private matter that she can't talk about?"

"Uh..." Yan Xin was stunned for a moment, "What I mean is to pay attention to secrecy, and don't say things that are not suitable for saying. It does not mean that she has any secrets that she cannot disclose, but it is two different things.”

Bai Xiaoling let out a sigh, a little disappointed: "I see... I thought you knew some little-known things about her..."

Yan Xin reprimanded her: "Girls, don't gossip like that. Don't ask about things you shouldn't ask about, and don't ask about things you shouldn't know about."

"Brother, you are wrong about this," Bai Xiaoling said with a smile, "Why do you say that those who gossip are called eight wives? Isn't it because we women like to inquire about these things? This is the talent of our women instinct."

"But that's not a good habit. Saying anything outside will bring you disaster." Yan Xin said.

Seeing that he was serious, Bai Xiaoling smiled embarrassedly, and said to him with a serious expression: "Brother, don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, even if I know something, I won't say it."

Yan Xin said: "You must remember, this is not just lip service."

Bai Xiaoling raised a hand to him, making an oath gesture: "Brother, trust me, I promise I won't talk nonsense."

Yan Xin didn't really believe it, but he didn't have any better way.

Everything that should be said has been said, if Bai Xiaoling still talks nonsense, then there is nothing he can do.

Moving all those things in the trunk to the house, he originally planned to park the car in the garage.

This small villa has built a parking garage from the very beginning, and two cars can be parked in it.

But after looking at the garage, he dismissed the idea very depressedly.

Because it's full of stuff.

The parking garage is divided into two rooms, but both rooms are full of things.

There is a pile of sacks of cotton in one room, and another pile of chopped firewood.

In addition, some farm tools were placed.

Yan's family doesn't have much cotton land, just over an acre, so it's impossible to stack that much.

Most of them are from Bai Xiaoling's family.

Their family lives under the river embankment, and the large area is relatively flat, which is more suitable for making cotton.

This time the mother and daughter moved here, the house over there was given to the Bai family, and the land over there was also given to the Bai family, but the grain and cotton grown in the field were brought over, and Furniture and farm tools at home.

The two families merged into one, not just two people, but also all the valuable and worthless things.

Yan Xin felt helpless when he saw that the garage was packed to the brim, so he could only pull over the car and try not to get in the way of other people's business.

Although he is very rich now, he doesn't care about the little things stuffed in the garage, but after all, it was earned by the elders hard, and he can't say that he threw these things away.

Fortunately, after the merger of the two families, all the fields of the Bai family were thrown out. Now it is the land of two families, and it is not so tiring.

He thought, when the time is right, he still needs to improve his economic strength in front of them, so that they can rest assured about the future and not work so hard.

Needless to say, the ones that were chopped are his father's masterpiece. When he is free, he likes to chop firewood, and then bundles are bundled and piled up.

In the past, they were stacked under the eaves, but they would get wet when it rained. Now that there is such a garage, they can simply be placed in the garage, so that the rain will not get wet.

I can't blame his dad for this, but mainly blame Yan Xin himself. It's obviously his own car, but he has to say it's the boss's car. In his dad's heart, he doesn't have a car. It's a waste, but it's good to put some sundries.

Yan Xin actually didn't want his father to continue burning firewood.

It is a bit inexplicable to build a small villa and continue to burn firewood.

But his father is reluctant to burn coal, let alone gas, and Yan Xin is still a little worried.

Obviously there is a kitchen in the villa, but in order to prevent the villa from being blackened by the smoke and fire generated by burning wood, an independent kitchen was built next to the villa.

In this way, the oily fume will not be smoked into the home, but it looks ugly from the outside.

Although this villa is still the most beautiful house in the village, every time Yan Xin sees it, he feels quite awkward.

But there is no way, this house is mainly lived by his father, and the kitchen is also used by his father, so it can only match his father's living habits.

Now I can only hope that Wu Xiuhong can think more openly, don't save like his father, but can be more willing to live a better life.

As far as his father's thrifty habit is concerned, even if he sends over ten thousand yuan every month, his father is reluctant to use it himself, and will only save it for him to marry his wife later.

Even if he married a daughter-in-law, he would still save it for him to raise children in the future.

It is very difficult for a person who has been poor and frugal all his life to change his concept.

Although Wu Xiuhong is well-known in the village as a diligent and thrifty housekeeper, she has not reached the level of his father.

And at that time, there were many unavoidable difficulties in running a family through diligence and thrift. The main reason was to support a daughter to go to school.

Now that there is no such burden, and the family conditions are relaxed, maybe it will not be so frugal.

The concept cannot be changed for a while, as long as they can be sure that the conditions at home are good, they can gradually change.

Wu Xiuhong and Bai Xiaoling moved here some time ago.

It was not easy to move this house. According to Bai Xiaoling, it only took two or three days to bring all those things here.

Reluctant to ask a cart to pull it, I used a cart to pull it, and rented a cow as a coolie.

If it was according to her mother's wishes, it would take another day - her mother also wanted to bring over the bed and wardrobe.

This was dissuaded by Bai Xiaoling - every bedroom in the Yan family has beds, and they are all new beds, as well as newly made wardrobes, there is no need to bring over things that have been used for 20 years.

And there is no place to put it after getting it.

Rather than giving to those in need.

In the end, she didn't give it to others for nothing, but her mother tried to sell it. Although it didn't sell for much money, it was better than giving it away for nothing.

Her mother's complete set of tools for making tofu has been pulled over and placed in the kitchen.

Tables and chairs were also brought over, and even pots and pans were brought over—in fact, those were not necessary, but the two old ones just couldn't see such a waste, so there was nothing they could do about it.

Bai Xiaoling was also a little speechless about this.

Yan Xin was a little curious: "I brought all the things for making tofu, so does your mother still want to make tofu and sell it?"

"What about your mother and my mother? That's our mother." Bai Xiaoling corrected him.

Then he said: "I also asked her, and I said that life is not so difficult now, and there is no need to make tofu for sale. Our mother said that she has not thought about selling tofu for the time being. She brought these things here because she was thinking of something When you want to eat some, you can make some by yourself. Then you can get some and sell them when you have nothing to do.”

If you don't want to sell tofu for the time being, that's fine.

It is hard work to make tofu by yourself, and Yan Xin doesn't want this stepmother to do such a thing.

It's not that he feels sorry for his stepmother.

Frankly speaking, although Yan Xin is doing well in face, in his heart, the mother and daughter are both outsiders, and he doesn't care how life is going.

He just didn't want his father to suffer the same.

It is very hard to make tofu, and it is even harder to make tofu by one person. When there is someone to help, I will definitely ask someone to help.

Even Bai Xiaoling stopped studying and helped her mother make tofu.

His father and Wu Xiuhong are married. They are a couple. The wife gets up to work before dawn, and the husband cannot continue to sleep there. .

That's not good.

If he wanted his father to live a more leisurely life, then he had to let his stepmother live a more leisurely life, and let his half-sister, Bai Xiaoling, also live a good life.

If one person is not happy, then everyone will not be happy.

Yan Xin understood this truth.

The so-called making tofu and selling it when you have nothing to do is just a way of speaking.

If there is such a day, it will only be that there is a shortage of money in hand, and it is necessary to rely on this to change money.

Yan Xin decided that this time he must raise his salary in front of his father, and then send some money to them every month for pocket expenses, so as not to let them feel that they don't have enough money.

It’s okay to do it once in a while. If you cook a little and eat it yourself, you can eat with more peace of mind.

There is one thing to say, the tofu made by this stepmother is quite good, better than the ones sold outside.

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, chatting with Bai Xiaoling about what happened at home during this period of time, and asking which relatives have been invited over.

They were going to form a new family. Everyone in the village knew about it, and so did the relatives who should know. Yan's father even took the mother and daughter to visit some relatives. Bai Xiaoling also basically knew those people.

If you don't know it, then there is no need to know it.

During the chat, Bai Xiaoling didn't stop talking, just eating snacks.

Yan Xin couldn't help but said to her: "It's not good to eat too many snacks. Girls should pay attention to keeping in shape and don't get fat."

Bai Xiaoling laughed in surprise: "How can there be enough snacks for me to eat fat? That is, you came back and brought food. I usually don't have money to buy snacks. Now my mother gives me a little money, and I'm all taken away." I used it to recharge my phone bill."

With mobile phones, mobile phones are a fixed consumption item.

Although the consumption on the mobile phone is only a few tens of dollars a month, her monthly pocket money is only a few dozen dollars.

In order to support this mobile phone, she became penniless.

Yan Xin also laughed: "It's so pitiful! But it doesn't matter, after their matter is over, you can go to work in the capital, and then you will earn more money alone than the two of them. Spend as much as you want."

Bai Xiaoling held a lollipop in her mouth, her eyes were filled with resentment:
"How can I earn as much as I spend? Before I even went out to look for a job, my mother told me that I should transfer half of my salary to her."

"Why?" Yan Xin was taken aback.

"She said that I can't save money, and she wants to save it for me to make a dowry." Bai Xiaoling said depressedly, "Brother, you say I am pretty, don't I have to have a dowry at home before I can get married?" Obviously just looking for an excuse to steal my hard-earned money! Huh, my beautiful daughter can earn her a lot of gift money, and she is also targeting my salary. I think she is more exploitative than capitalists."

Marrying a daughter here is not without a dowry, but generally speaking, a dowry is nothing more than a few quilts.

On the contrary, the bride price is quite high.

Based on the current economic level, it takes about ten years to save money for a family to marry a daughter-in-law—this is the average level.

Those whose families are in difficulty may not be able to save enough money to marry a daughter-in-law in 20 years.

Either be single, or marry those flawed or divorced women, anyway, they have to be the kind that are unsalable in the marriage market.

However, the kind of rich people who marry their daughters will still pay a relatively generous dowry, which can be equal to the bride price paid by the man, and they will not take the man's bride price as their own.

This is of course more decent, but this kind of decent is only decent for rich people.

Many poor families who have raised daughters have to rely on marrying their daughters to improve their family's conditions, or to save their sons the gift money for marrying a daughter-in-law.

The more wealthy families living in the town, the more decent it will be.

But in rural areas, most of them are still not decent, and dowry means a few quilts, and generally they are made with the money given by the husband’s family, and there is no need to prepare them by themselves.

No wonder Bai Xiaoling didn't believe it.

But Yan Xin didn't believe that Wu Xiuhong wanted to embezzle her money, and said with a smile, "Your mother said so..."

Bai Xiaoling glanced at him: "Brother, it's our mother."

"Well, our mother," Yan Xin said, "our mother said such a thing, she must have planned to do so. Think about it, she has worked hard for you to study all these years, and raised you so much , isn’t it all for your own good? If you were as selfish as you said and wanted your money, there would be no need to work so hard these years.”

Bai Xiaoling pouted: "You really speak for her."

"My dad also treated me like that, so I can understand that it's not like that if you are really an irresponsible parent." Yan Xin said.

There is a ready-made example, that is Feng Xi's parents.

That's really putting the daughter among the cash cows.

But this example cannot be given to Bai Xiaoling, because now Feng Chen is not dead, but has become the boss of a company, and Feng Xi has also become a talented woman from Beijing University who started her own business. Feng's parents do not have a stage to show such a face.

It's not that Bai Xiaoling doesn't know what her mother is like to her, but she just thinks that she will have to pay half of her salary after going to work, and she feels a little unhappy.

Depressedly said: "I hope so, otherwise my hard-earned money..."

As he said that, his face became bitter.

But she didn't plan not to pay half of the salary.

Yan Xin said with a smile: "Don't worry about that, when the time comes you... well, if our mother can't come up with the dowry, I, the older brother, will give it to you."

Bai Xiaoling finally became happy and said, "Brother, you are really kind."

His face blushed suddenly, and he said again: "Brother, you are such a good person, if any woman can marry you, it is really a meritorious ancestor."

Yan Xin smiled: "No, I'm just an ordinary person."

Thinking: "She doesn't know about my stepping on two boats, so this shouldn't be mocking me."

But for being a scumbag and receiving such excessive praise, I still feel a little bit ashamed of being unworthy of virtue.

He thought again: "Say me, just say me, why are you blushing?"

Thinking about it this way, I felt a little uneasy again.

It is dangerous to stay in the bedroom with Bai Xiaoling, he knows it.

But unexpectedly, sitting in the living room on the first floor also smelled a little dangerous.

He took out his mobile phone and said, "I don't know if my parents have bought good food. It's not easy for them to come back. Why don't I call and ask where they are now, and I'll drive to pick them up."

"No need," Bai Xiaoling said, "Both of them went there on bicycles. It's only a few miles away, and it won't take too long to come back. You don't need to drive there."

"Then let me call and ask where they are now?" Yan Xin said.

"No need," Bai Xiaoling still shook her head, "What if they are on their way back, riding their bicycles, and they suddenly feel your phone call and make them fall down in fright?"

Yan Xin thought about the scene for a while, and finally put down the phone: "You are right, then stop calling."

But he still felt that it was not good to sit in this living room with Bai Xiaoling alone, so he stood up and said to Bai Xiaoling:

"It's a rare time to come back. I'll go out for a walk. If my parents come back, you can tell them that I went out to play."

Bai Xiaoling also stood up: "Let's go out for a walk together, I'm bored staying at home."

Yan Xin was depressed: "But I just don't want to be with you."

But he couldn't find a reason to refuse, so he could only smile and say, "Then let's go for a walk."

I thought to myself: "No matter what, it's better to be outside than inside. She's always embarrassed to do some excessive behavior outside, right?"

When the two went out, Bai Xiaoling locked the door. When she saw the car parked beside her, she rolled her eyes and said with a smile, "Brother, it's rare that you drive back this time, why don't we go for a drive?"

Yan Xin didn't have the idea to go for a drive with her, and shook his head: "Let's forget about today, I'm tired from driving all the way here, and I don't want to drive for now. Tomorrow, my parents have to get a license, and I'll take you to the county town to play." Let's play."

Bai Xiaoling felt depressed: "But I just want to be with you."

But there was still a smile on his face: "Okay, brother."
