Reborn 1980: Good Wife Gets Rich and Busy

Chapter 445 Sending off the bridesmaid

After finishing the banquet, the guests left in twos and threes.

Ahu's mother brought several nieces and Chen Min to see off the guests at the door. Anyone who came to have a wedding banquet would get a pack of wedding candies and two packs of cigarettes.

Everyone came happily and left happily.

The weather was cold, and the guests all went back around three o'clock.

Ahu's mother and Chen Min's sisters tidied up and cleaned the store together.

At this time, Cuiliu called Chen Min to go upstairs.

"My sisters have to go back to the village. Is cousin Ahu awake? I want to ask him to help send them back to the village."

Several of Cuiliu's bridesmaids are cousins ​​and friends in the village, and they all live in Hejia Village.

Chen Minwei said: "He drank too much at noon and is still sleeping."

Cuiliu asked again: "What about Brother A Yuan? He should be able to do it, right?"

"He... helped me hold back too much wine, and he's still asleep now." Chen Min explained with a wry smile.

Cuiliu looked at the sky and said, "What should we do? It might snow again in the evening. We really can't go back too late in this weather."

Chen Min thought for a moment and said, "Don't be afraid, I'll ask Sister-in-law Lingling to send them there."

"That's right!" Cuiliu said excitedly, "I almost forgot! My sister-in-law can also drive!"

Chen Min quickly went down to find Xue Ling.

Xue Ling was holding Xiao Ranran who was sleeping, sitting not far from the stove and looking at the water pot.

After Chen Min said it, she immediately agreed.

Liu Ying on the side carefully hugged Xiao Ranran and lowered her voice: "Go quickly! It will be fine when you get back after sending it off. Don't worry, your father and I will take care of Xiao Ranran!"

Cheng Muhai nodded slightly and whispered: "There is a lot of snow on the road, be careful and don't go too fast."

"Hey! I understand." Xue Ling drank half a bowl of warm water and set off quickly.

Soon, the four bridesmaids in large floral cotton-padded jackets said goodbye to Cuiliu and Chen Min and got into the car one after another.

Xue Ling started the car and drove them to the highway in the next county town.

"I don't know the route very well. When we get to the next county, you can help me show the way."

"No problem! Sister-in-law, how old are you this year? How come you know how to drive?"

"That's right! This is the first time I've seen a woman drive! You're so awesome!"

"Is it difficult to drive? Such a heavy car is made of iron, so it must be very heavy, right?"

Xue Ling smiled and replied: "It's not heavy. It's just about controlling the gear and clutch, stepping on the accelerator and brakes, and worrying about whether the car can pass through it. Pay more attention to the rear mirror and the mirrors on both sides. It's not difficult as long as you are proficient. "

"We don't understand!"

"That's right! It's hard to understand! It seems very complicated!"

"Sister-in-law, isn't your car expensive?"

Xue Ling didn't want to answer too carefully, so she whispered: "Thirty or forty thousand."

"What?! So many?!"

"If you had that much money, you should build a dozen large tile-roofed houses!"

"That's right! If it were me, I would definitely use the money to build a big tile house, why would I be willing to buy a small iron house!"

Xue Ling was amused by this concept and said: "Sister, although the big tile-roofed house is good, there will be better houses! With a car, it is easy to get in and out, and you can walk far and wide, which is safer and more convenient. For example, right now, it's very cold and windy outside, and there's snow on the ground. It's impossible to ride a bicycle, so we can only walk. Think about it, it will take two or three hours to walk all the way there."

"Yes, if it snows it will definitely take three or two hours. If it doesn't snow, it won't be necessary." Xue Ling said: "It's very cold outside, but we don't feel it when we sit inside, and we can walk on the snow very quickly. Even if we drive slowly, half the time You can get there in more than an hour.”

"But...it's too much money!"

"Yes, yes! With so much money, you can buy a lot of things!"

Xue Ling just laughed, thinking that these girls were very simple, but girls from rural areas didn't go out much, they didn't have much knowledge, their horizons weren't broad enough, and their ideas would inevitably be out of date.

"Sister, people are greedy. In the past, when you were young, you might not be able to solve the problem of food and clothing. At that time, all you thought about was to have enough to eat. Now that the economy is better, we can still have enough to eat, but we just can't. Eating so well. Therefore, when we are satisfied and full, we will inevitably think about eating well occasionally. Have some pork belly, or even want to eat some ribs during the New Year and festivals. From now on, we can eat a lot of fish and meat every day. , what else do you want to eat?"

"This is hard to imagine! I guess I want to eat some seafood! Big shrimps! Big crabs!"

"Maybe I'll want to eat something that tastes really good then!"

"Eat what I like, eat what makes me beautiful!"

"Hahaha!"

Xue Ling finished laughing and said: "That's right! People are like this. After you own something, you will pursue higher enjoyment. I already have a house at home, so I will pursue a car. Once I have a car, I can go out No matter it’s windy or snowy, I don’t have to be afraid. I have elderly people and children at home, and it’s safe and convenient to carry them in the car.”

"You're right! We already have a house, so we need something else!"

"Sister-in-law, I thought you came from a big city, so you might be very proud and look down on us little rural girls. I didn't expect you to be so kind, and your words are so gentle and reasonable!"

Xue Ling smiled and said: "The difference between big cities and rural areas is currently relatively large, but it is not necessarily much better. In the future, the distance between rural areas and cities will shrink. Maybe people in big cities will still envy rural areas! My parents are going Months have come here to play, and they all like it because the food is delicious and the water and air are better than in big cities."

"Yo! That's so strange!"

"People from big cities actually think our place is good?! Hahaha!"

"impossible?"

Xue Ling replied: "This is a fact. Don't always think that rural areas are not good. Things here are cheaper than in big cities, and the air and water quality are better. Big cities have many people and cars, and it is inconvenient to go out."

"Sister-in-law, you really know how to joke."

"I know you don't look down on us rural people, but I can't believe what you said! Haha!"

Everyone laughed happily.

Xue Ling could only laugh.They still don't understand what she says now, and they will only listen to it as a joke.

When big cities develop faster in the future, and counties also develop, they will find out sooner or later that she was right.It's just that it hasn't reached that level of development yet, and it will only be heard as a joke.

Soon we arrived at the next county town and went around to Hejia Village.

"Sister-in-law, our village is ahead! You can park the car and we can walk in!"

Xue Ling said: "We're all here anyway, it's not too far away, I'll take you in."

"No, no, no! The road in the village is too small, and your car is so big. If you get in, you probably won't be able to get out."

"Yes! Cuiliu's house is at the entrance of the village, so there's no need to be afraid. Our house is inside and the road is too small."

Xue Ling could only nod, "Okay, when the time comes, just tell me to stop."

The road was deserted, with only an occasional pedestrian or two.

Xue Ling was afraid of being left out, so he took the initiative to talk about Cuiliu's family.

"I heard that grandpa broke his leg last night. Fortunately, the bones are fine."

"Her grandpa is very strong. Although he is thin, he is not as bad as a young man when it comes to work. But the fall was really serious, and his legs were swollen beyond measure."

"Cuiliu's grandfather was a boatman when he was young. I heard that he traveled to many places and even went abroad once, all the way to Luzon Island in the south!"

"Later, when I got older and couldn't run anymore, I stayed at home. Cuiliu was raised by her grandfather and grandma when she was a child, and her relationship was very good!"
