Quick Transmigration: After becoming beautiful, I am numb

Chapter 197: Eating Melon in the Age of Literature ([-])

The courtyard where the Qiao family is located was originally a courtyard with two entrances.

Both the front yard and the back yard are not big:

There are three main rooms and two wing rooms in the east and west.

Because it was close to the Five Star Machinery Factory, many workers were arranged by the street and the factory to come in.

Depending on length of service, grade, etc., some employees are allocated one room, and some are allocated two rooms.

There are about ten households in the two courtyards.

Although Old Man Qiao's level is not very good and his skills are average, he has seniority.

In the past, he was an apprentice at the Foreign Machinery Factory, but after liberation, he became a veteran of the Five Star Factory.

When the house was divided, he got two main rooms in the front yard.

Widow Liu's man is also an old man from the machinery factory, but he is a few years later than Old Man Qiao.

Her home is in the east wing of the backyard.

There are also two rooms, one is used as the main room and the other is the back room.

Widow Liu's husband got sick and passed away a few years ago, leaving behind only three daughters.

Originally, Widow Liu gave birth to four daughters in one breath, one of whom died when she was a few years old.

The eldest daughter and the third daughter got married one after another, and only one of the younger daughters found a son-in-law at home.

Bai Sini's son-in-law is Gu Xiaoni's relative from the same village, Gu Changhe.

According to the seniority in the village, Gu Xiaoni wants to call Gu Changhe brother.

Widow Liu is the aunt who can be beaten with eight poles.

With Gu Changhe's relationship as a matchmaker and some relatives, it is not too much for Widow Liu to act like an elder in front of Gu Qingcheng.

"Xiao Ni, let me tell you, don't be stupid!"

"The job in the machinery factory was left by your Jianguo family. Why do you say that you can just let someone else do it?"

"If it doesn't work, you can go to the factory or the Women's Federation! There is always a place for you to make decisions!"

Widow Liu's words were indeed from the perspective of "Gu Xiaoni".

Otherwise, they are just neighbors of the Qiao family, and they will watch the excitement and make peace.

Gu Qingcheng knew that Widow Liu was doing this for her own good.

She looked at Widow Liu gratefully, "Auntie, thank you!"

Then, she added, "But let's forget about it."

"No one else knows Jianguo's father's temper. As an old neighbor, don't you know?"

"Wrestling and beating all day long, yelling and drinking... Sigh, my child and I just want to live a quiet life!"

"Now that there is another Qiao Tongsuo, Jianguo's father can actually say ridiculous things that I have never thought of!"

When he said the last sentence, Gu Qingcheng's face was filled with surprise, ridicule, and even more disheartened: "Forget it! This Qiao family really can't stay here any longer."

"If you don't get it right, mud will fall into your crotch. It's either shit or shit!"

Widow Liu opened her mouth and swallowed all her persuasive words.

"Mom, you're back! What's going on in the front yard? I heard it from far away!"

Widow Liu took Gu Qingcheng and his wife to the front of her house, but before she could open the door, the door was pushed open from the inside.

A young man in his 20s came out of the house with a basin of water.

Looking up and seeing Widow Liu, the young man asked casually.

As soon as he finished asking, the young man saw Gu Qingcheng, "Huh? Xiaoni is here too! Come in quickly!"

As he spoke, he stepped aside.

"Brother Changhe!"

Gu Qingcheng greeted the young man.

Gu Changhe glanced at the small bundle hanging on Gu Qingcheng's arm, and suddenly realized, "Xiaoni, it wasn't your house that made the commotion just now, right?"

"Oh, let's go in and talk!"

Widow Liu was a little impatient, and waved her hand, "Hurry up and pour water, Xiaoni and I will go into the room and talk!"

Widow Liu's attitude towards Gu Changhe was not good, but she didn't deliberately find fault.

If you change your identity: Widow Liu is not mother-in-law, but mother-in-law, and what she treats is not son-in-law, but daughter-in-law, it seems normal and reasonable.

After all, the son-in-law who comes to the house is the same as the daughter-in-law, who is "married" into someone else's family.

However, there are still fundamental differences between door-to-door son-in-law and daughter-in-law.

The former is a big man, with self-esteem and pride derived from gender and secularity.

The same is true of being bullied at the partner's house. The son-in-law who comes to the door is just a compromise and miserable, while the daughter-in-law takes it for granted!

A hint of sadness flashed in Gu Changhe's eyes, and there were bulging veins on the back of the hand holding the aluminum basin.

However, he still "endured" it, squeezed out a smile, and went down the steps by himself, "Hey! Come in!"

After finishing speaking, Gu Changhe took the basin and went to the water room in the yard.

Wash the dishes and basins very carefully.

"Hey! Xiao Gu is here to wash the dishes again. Haha, your son-in-law is just capable."

The speaker was Li Hongmei, the eldest daughter-in-law of Zhu Jinshui, the man in charge of the backyard. She was in her thirties, had a thin mouth, and looked like a shrewd and sharp-tongued person.

What she said to Gu Changhe was normal at first glance.

But when she mentioned "washing the dishes" and said "son-in-law", it is easy for "careful people" to think too much after hearing it.

In this day and age, how can a big man in the north do housework?

Gu Changhe did it, but he was still an intruder.

and so--

"En!" Gu Changhe responded indiscriminately, lowering his head, his entire face was hidden in the shadow, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.

Only when washing dishes, bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bang bah

After Gu Qingcheng entered the house, he also noticed the movement outside.

A door-to-door son-in-law with a lot of "self-esteem", and next to him is a neighbor who likes to make jokes... Tsk tsk, this Widow Liu's house may not be able to be peaceful in the future.

Shui Shui, who was locked up in a small dark room: ...Humph, you have been kicked out of the house by your husband's family, and you still have the heart to take advantage of others?

"Xiao Ni, do you really want to go back to your mother's house?"

Widow Liu was a little sympathetic. She had just lived a good life in the city for a few years, but now she was going back home with a big belly and her daughter in despair.

Parents feel distressed, but sisters-in-law can be happy?

"Ok!"

Of course, he had to go back. Gu Qingcheng had already received a note from Director Feng, and he needed to go back to his mother's house to go through the formalities of changing his household registration.

Due to the requirements of this era, when the original client Gu Xiaoni got married, her household registration remained in her natal production team.

Now that Gu Qingcheng has obtained the employee quota in the machinery factory, he needs to transfer his household registration here.

These days, if you want to eat commercial food, there are two ways:
The first is to become a formal employee of the factory through recruitment;

Second, you can buy a house in the city and transfer your household registration to the house.

The former is a collective account and the latter is an individual account.

Just like some workers in a machinery factory, some of them come from rural areas.

The factory recruits workers, and when they enter the city, they can apply for a single dormitory.

After saving enough working years and grades, you can apply for housing allocation, or apply for family members to transfer to non-farmers!
As a "specially recruited" employee of the machinery factory, it was not easy for Gu Qingcheng to have a formal establishment.

Want to share a room?

Hehe, let's endure it.

However, with the collective account of the factory, you can eat commercial food.

So Gu Qingcheng still had to go back to his hometown to go through the formalities.

"Oh, you kid, why can't you make sense!"

"...However, what you said makes sense. Jianguo is a good boy, but his parents-"

Having said that, Widow Liu couldn't help shaking her head.

Gu Qingcheng didn't speak.

Outsiders can talk about the parents-in-law, but Gu Qingcheng, as a cheap daughter-in-law, cannot.

Even if the couple has become a "past tense".

She lowered her head and said nothing, but subconsciously looked at her surroundings from the corner of her eyes.

Widow Liu's husband's surname is Bai, and the current head of household is Bai Sini, Widow Liu's youngest daughter.

The Bai family's house is neither big nor small.

The layout of the main room is similar to that of Qiao's house.

They are all Zhongtang, Tiaoji, and Eight Immortals tables.

There was a wooden bed placed against the west wall.

The bedding was folded into squares, with pillows placed on top. The pillows were also covered with pillow covers embroidered with red plum blossoms.

The beds were made very clean.

When guests come during the day, there are not enough stools to sit on, so they will sit on the bed.

At night, you can pull off the bedding and sleep.

Gu Qingcheng glanced at it and could roughly guess that this bed should belong to Widow Liu.

Bai Sini and Gu Changhe were inside.

"Okay, now that you've made up your mind, Auntie won't persuade you any more!"

"It's getting late, Qiao'er is already sleepy, you two, just stay here with me for the rest of the night!"

As Widow Liu spoke, she stood up and took out another pillow from the cabinet, "I've washed the pillow cover, it's not dirty!"

The pillows belong to my wife, and new bedding is not specially prepared for guests these days.

Old things, wash them clean and they can still be used!

"Auntie, look what you said! You were kind enough to keep me and Qiao'er. I can't even thank you enough. How can I dislike you?"

Gu Qingcheng said sincerely.

Seeing that she was not lying, Widow Liu felt even more pity for this girl!

What a sensible child, alas, the old couple of Qiao's family can work hard.

Widow Liu made the bed, and Bai Sini led the child in from outside.

When Xu Shi passed by the front yard, he had already heard neighbors talking about new things about Qiao's family.

After entering the door, seeing Gu Qingcheng and Qiao Qiao, Bai Sini didn't ask any more questions, but just greeted her politely.

Gu Qingcheng took a look at Bai Sini. She was 25 or [-] years old, with slightly dark skin and normal facial features.

Well, if you use the system's scoring method, Bai Sini's appearance should be around 65 points.

Not ugly, not beautiful, just an ordinary person.

As Bai Sini's daughter who wanted to adopt a son-in-law, she took over Bai's father's job and worked in the guest house under the machinery factory.

After working for seven or eight years, I have been rated as a second-level worker, and I have a monthly salary of 37 yuan.

The guest house also has some benefits, and she can support a family of four by herself.

However, Gu Changhe is a big man after all, it is impossible for him to be a house husband at home.

Among the conditions for recruiting a new wife, the Bai family had to help Gu Changhe find a job.

Bai Sini used most of her wealth to find Gu Changhe a job as a temporary worker in the cafeteria.

The wages are lower, and there are no benefits like those of regular workers.

But, it is a serious job after all.

If you do well, you can also turn positive.

For the rural people of this era, it has already reached the sky in one step!

Therefore, even though he is a door-to-door son-in-law, all the young and old in Gujia Village are very envious.

When Gu Changhe returns to the village, he will also receive all kinds of envious and jealous looks.

Especially since he successfully told Gu Xiaoni to be a relative and married her to the city, Gu Changhe was even more respected in his hometown.

PS: I heard the story about settling in from some elders. There is no research and I don’t know if it is true. Just watch the excitement, (*^▽^*)
