The Happiness of Rebirth in the 80s

Chapter 13

Here Liu Tao'er and Gao Aimin fell asleep with different thoughts, but Gao Aimin's old lady's house did not fall asleep so quickly.

At the beginning, Gao's mother eccentrically took up the newly built big house for her youngest son, but because the couple both work in the city, although Gaojiatun is not far from the county, but now the child is still young and it is too much trouble to come back every day, so the young The couple temporarily rented a small house to live in, and only occasionally came back to live on weekends.The children in the family temporarily hired a neighbor's aunt to help look after them, and they paid five yuan a month as wages.

Originally, Mother Gao wanted to bring her grandson back to raise him. This is the grandson born to her by her precious youngest son.But Gao Aijun's daughter-in-law, Bai Jing, didn't think so. She was a girl from the city, and she had a lot of arrogance. Gao Aijun, who had a crush on a good-looking talent at the beginning, was married, so why would she give her precious son to her mother-in-law to raise her.Although her mother-in-law was partial to their family, she still looked down on such a savage woman as her mother-in-law, let alone handing over her son.If her colleagues found out that her son was raised by an old lady in the country, where would she put her face?So Gao's mother's plan can only be done because she firmly disagrees.

In fact, although Gao Jing is unwilling to give the children to her mother-in-law to raise, she likes the benefits her mother-in-law has won for them.Although he and her husband are public servants, their salaries are not high. In addition to renting a house in the city and raising children, the young couple's life is very tight.It's just a glamorous appearance.

So she tries to come back every weekend to take some things from her mother-in-law, or even some vegetables and food. In the city, an onion and garlic cost money, which is not as fresh as that in the village.Because her son is filial, Gao's mother has a lot of money in her hands, so although she looks down on her mother-in-law in her heart, she is very respectful on the surface. First, her husband will be better for herself when she sees her filial piety to her in-laws, and second, they get benefits , can be said to kill two birds with one stone.So Gaomu's place is also very lively on weekends.

But it's not the weekend, of course Gao Aijun and his wife still stayed in the city and didn't come back. There are only three people in the family, Gao's father, Gao's mother and Gao Xiu'er.

Because Gao Aimin came here this afternoon, it made Gao's mother angry again, so now even though Gao Aimin is gone, Gao's mother is still complaining angrily, and she didn't stop until the meal was over.Father Gao is the head of the family, and he is in charge of all major matters, but he never cares about such trivial matters as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quarreling.To be honest, he doesn't like his second daughter-in-law that much. Of course, it's not because his mother-in-law thought she didn't have a son and was lazy and slippery. He felt that his daughter-in-law was too soft-tempered, like dough. He has a good face, but Father Gao doesn't like it.

When Father Gao was young, he was considered a figure in Gaojiatun, otherwise he would not have accumulated these family fortunes. The three sons are all capable, and he did not teach them all.He is also clear about the three daughters-in-law.Although the elders are a bit tricky, they can still be called the eldest daughter-in-law, and they are kind to the two younger sisters-in-law. In addition, she gave birth to the eldest grandson, so Father Gao usually gives the eldest daughter-in-law a treat. Face.Not to mention the second child's family, in Gao's father's eyes, it is pure mud that cannot support the wall, but fortunately, his second son is capable, and the young couple can make ends meet.As for the third daughter-in-law, she usually thinks that no one knows about her little calculations. In fact, he has seen it for a long time, but he really favors the younger son. Although the third daughter-in-law is not very good, she treats her son It's good to be sincere, he usually turns a blind eye to it.

After all, the daughter-in-law here is usually under the control of the daughter-in-law. As long as it's not a big problem, he won't talk too much. He knows his wife, so he just speaks loudly. It's impossible for her to do anything. , he looks like a big man who always chirps with women.

So after dinner, Father Gao ignored the cursing woman, took his old smoking gun and went out. It's still early to play a few games of chess with the old man next door, but he was unwilling to lose last night. .

Gao's father leisurely left the house, only Gao's mother and Gao Xiu'er were left at home.Father Gao ignored his mother-in-law, Gao Xiu'er couldn't help it. "Mom, I'm not talking about you. You're not finished yet. Second sister-in-law just didn't go to the land. It's not her family's land. She went there because of affection. If she doesn't go, no one can say anything. Besides, second sister-in-law Aren't you feeling unwell? You can't be more considerate. You just went to make a fuss yesterday, but today you scolded my second brother for doing something. He worked hard for two days, and you didn't even cook for him when he came back." Gao Xiu'er said The little girl in the family, one older sister, and three older brothers. Although Gao's mother is notoriously patriarchal, she is still favored because she is the youngest, so she is very unambiguous when talking about her mother.

She doesn't like the second sister-in-law, but her relationship with Gao Aimin is really good. The elder brother is much older than her, and the elder sister married early.Although Gao Aimin went out to serve as a soldier for several years, he loved this young girl from the bottom of his heart. When Gao Aimin was a soldier, Gao Xiuer was still in school, but she would send back any delicious and interesting things. Gao Aimin recovered and returned home, so it was even better for Gao Xiuer, basically she gave what she wanted, so although Gao Xiuer was the closest to Gao Aijun in age, she had the best relationship with Gao Aimin.

"What do you know? As a mother-in-law, I can't control my daughter-in-law anymore. Besides, don't you have an acre of land here?" Mother Gao was a little annoyed by her daughter's words. Who was she doing this for? For Gao Xiuer and Gao Aijun.

"Mother, don't use me as a shield. I only have so much land. Besides, I will go out this autumn. Aren't you going to order others around for the third brother's family and their land? If you have the ability, don't give up." Why, I usually have such a noble face, and stand up cheaply, so I'm faster than anyone else." Liu Taoer sarcastically said.

Compared to Liu Taoer, she looks down on Bai Jing even more. Isn't she just a city dweller? , look down on the countryside, don't marry here in the first place.Gao Xiu'er is the old daughter of the family, and the Gao family's conditions are good, she is also a favorite of thousands of people, seeing her third sister-in-law's affectation is particularly unpleasant.

"You white-eyed wolf, now you don't eat my food and drink mine, and your dowry is not given to you by my mother." No matter how much Gao's mother loves her own daughter, she can't keep up with her son, let alone the third child, who has a sharp heart. Seeing the old girl speak ill of her son, she scolded her.

Gao Xiu'er is not a vegetarian either, so she immediately said: "Mother, don't think I don't know, my father has already saved up the dowry money for me, even my elder brother and second brother also said that they will give me 100 yuan for the dowry. Didn’t you tell my father to use some of my dowry money to buy my third brother a house in the city? Let me tell you, today I’m leaving the word here. My father saved 1000 yuan There is also Xu Guoqiang’s 500 yuan dowry gift from Xu Guoqiang’s family. If there is less money, I will go to my third brother’s unit to make a fuss and ask their leaders to see if there is such a brother. It’s fine to buy the dowry with money, but I have to count the dowry money for my sister.” After speaking, he went back to the house angrily.

When Gao's mother heard her daughter's words, she immediately became angry, and then she felt a little guilty, so she didn't chase her into the house and continued to scold her, crying herself there.

Yes, he did pay attention to his daughter's dowry. The last time the third daughter-in-law came back, she said that she had taken a fancy to a house in the city. She also knew that although both son and daughter-in-law were teachers, their salary was not high. , coupled with the high expenses in the city, and the two of them had a child who was less than one year old, life was really tight that day, if she hadn't usually made up for it in private, the life of the young couple would be uncertain How difficult it is.

The house that the third daughter-in-law was looking for was not big, but the location was good, and it cost 1000 yuan. Although she felt sorry for the money, she was also very moved when she saw her son, and she looked at her eagerly, and her heart softened immediately.The young couple has saved more than 200 yuan in their hands within two years of getting married, but they can't buy a house, so how will they live in the future.

Yes, the family has money, but it is all in the hands of the wife. Although the wife loves the younger son, he refuses to pay such a large sum of money. One thousand, what about the other two sons.This is not a small amount of money. Even a worker in a county will have to save for several years without food or drink.

In the past few years, if he married a daughter-in-law, although he didn't know how much money his wife had, she also knew that there was not much, and the two of them had to leave some coffin books.

That's why she got the attention of the little girl's dowry after she hit a snag with her wife.There are three sons and two daughters in the family, and the old man set aside money early on. Except for the house and land, the three sons are given 800 yuan each to marry a wife. Men can do it, so Father Gao doesn’t keep much, just enough to marry a wife. They will live their own lives in the days to come, and they will live their lives in whatever way they can.

But the two daughters are married, and if they don’t have any money, they will be wronged, so the two daughters have a dowry money of 1000 yuan, which is a huge sum of money. You must know that the bride price for marrying a daughter is only 300 yuan. Yuan, the little girl's husband's family knew that their daughter had a lot of dowries, so they set the dowry at five hundred for the sake of looking good.In addition to what the two sons promised to give, it would be two thousand less. Such a large sum of money, even Gao's mother felt sorry for her daughter, felt that it was too much, so it was inevitable that the little girl's dowry was paid attention to.

Although I also saved a private house money in my hand, most of it was used to subsidize the younger son, which is really not much, half of the old girl's money is enough for the son to buy a house.Of course, she also knew that she couldn't mention it to the old girl, so she told her wife in private, but she didn't expect to be scolded by her wife, but also heard by the old girl, and she complained in private.
