The Happiness of Rebirth in the 80s

Chapter 41

Because Gao Honger rarely returned to her mother's house this time, Gao's mother really tried her best to cook a delicious meal for her. Besides, Gao Honger brought back a lot of things this time, and the pork alone weighed five or six catties. , in addition to pastries and candies, and even some cloth for the old couple of the Gao family to make clothes.Knowing that Gao's father likes to drink some wine when he is old, Gao Hong'er specially bought two bottles of white wine. Although it is not a good wine, but it also makes Gao's father very happy. This kind of wine is just right. If it is really good wine, He should be reluctant to drink.

Therefore, Gao's father also sent a message, asking Gao's mother to have a good meal, and specially asked Gao Aiguo's family to come over, and the family was lively and lively.Gao's mother and Wu Lan started cooking before eleven o'clock, and now they are almost the same, and the smell of the food is really far away.

Hearing the sound of Gao Honger entering the door, Gao's mother greeted her from the kitchen, "Why did you come back so late? If you don't come back, I will have your sister-in-law call you." Not happy, although she and Liu Tao'er can barely get along now, she still dislikes this daughter-in-law the most, but recently the relationship between her second son and her has eased, and she doesn't dare to cause trouble, it's just that her face is a little unsightly.

Looking at her mother-in-law with a stinky face, Liu Taoer felt helpless. She had tried her best to improve her relationship with her mother-in-law for the past two months, but the old lady was not only unreasonable but also very stubborn. I don’t like you, but I don’t like you. No matter how nice you are to me and how much you flatter me, I don't like you either.

So even though Liu Tao'er was delivering snacks and vegetables and meat, the relationship with the old lady was only maintained when she didn't go to her house to make trouble. She could show a good face in front of Gao Aimin, but Gao Aimin didn't accompany her. An embarrassing situation where you can't even get a smile.Liu Tao'er even felt that if she hadn't been pregnant, she wouldn't even be able to reach the current level.

But even though her mother-in-law treats her like this, she still has to face it, so even though her mother-in-law has a serious face, Liu Tao'er still yelled at her: "Mom."

"Well, why don't you come over after serving the meal? I don't know if I'll come over earlier to help." Mother Gao still had a stinky expression on her face.

Liu Taoer:
"Mom, what are you talking about? My sister-in-law has been taking care of the children and making clothes for me for more than four months. Why are you still arguing about this? Why don't you just cook a meal? My sister-in-law has no objection yet." As Liu Taoer's loyal fan, Gao Xiuer immediately counterattacked.

Wu Lan who came out later also smoothed things over: "The meal is almost ready, let's pack up and eat. Everyone is hungry. The meat that Hong'er brought today is good. It looks delicious when it looks fat and thin. It's sweet and tender." Obviously I ate a lot in the kitchen just now."

Gao's mother saw that no one was on her side, and even the eldest daughter looked at her with dissatisfaction, and instantly became sluggish.In the past, she bullied her second daughter-in-law but no one said anything, why no one is on her side today, but thinking that Liu Taoer is pregnant with her pregnant mother, she doesn't say anything, and wait until she gives birth to the child.

"Okay, hurry up and pack up and eat. Where are you going? You, old man, go and find the child to save my grandson from starving. Don't worry about your own son. If you don't know, you just think You are a stepmother." Mother Gao has this kind of ability, and no one feels at ease when she says a word of concern, Wu Lan needless to say, she has two children, but Mother Gao is a grandmother It is to be able to pretend that her eldest daughter, Gao Tiantian, does not exist.Not to mention Liu Tao'er, ever since Gao Tongtong came in, Gao's mother didn't even look at her.

But everyone got used to it, let Liu Taoer lead the daughter, Gao's two sisters helped Gao's mother serve the meal, and Wu Lan went out to bring back her two leather monkeys.That's a lot of people, but the third generation of the Gao family is still young, even the oldest Gao Tiantian is only eight years old, they basically just eat and drink.

Now is the time when the green vegetables come down, and the weather is hot, so Wu Lan and the others didn’t make any stews, mostly stir-fried meat with green vegetables. They also made pickled cucumbers, cold tomatoes and so on. All smiles.

The children only cared about eating, and the adults had more topics to talk about. Gao's mother would inevitably ask her eldest daughter how things were going at home, and by the way, ask her two little grandchildren.Gao Honger also told everyone about her family.

There is nothing special about Gao Honger's family. Her husband's family name is Guo, and her husband is the second child in the family, Guo Zhenping. Now there are two children in the family, one is seven years old and the other is five.The two went to the city to open a grocery store three years ago, and now it has a small scale. Although it can't be compared with some big shopping malls, there are also a lot of things inside, including almost all basic necessities, food, housing and transportation.Gao Hong'er is a smart person, Guo Zhenping is also shrewd, the life of the young couple is prosperous.

After listening to Gao Honger's narration, not only Gao's mother but also Gao's father were happy, the married girl's intention was nothing more than her life to be good.Now that Gao Honger's life is prosperous, the two elders are of course relieved.

After talking about Gao Hong'er's family, I will inevitably talk about Gao Xiu'er's marriage. Gao Hong'er is at the end of August in the Gregorian calendar and at the end of July in the lunar calendar. Now there is only more than a month left when the family can prepare everything. , and the rest is a series of matters on the day of the wedding.

Getting married now is not as simple as setting a few tables in a restaurant like later generations, but getting married now requires setting a banquet in the village.Tables, chairs, plates, bowls, and chopsticks have to be borrowed from each household, and meat, vegetables, and eggs for banquets have to be bought.The Gao family's big fat pig was caught last year and was not even willing to kill it during the Chinese New Year. It was just waiting for Liu Tao'er to use it when she got married.

Marriage is always noisy for three or four days now, and the first two days of marriage start to be lively, washing dishes, cleaning the stove, picking vegetables and killing pigs, there are so many things that can't be done without two days of preparation time.Even after getting married, there is still a day to buy a cupboard.Even if it is small, it will take four days.

There is also Gao Xiuer’s dowry. The TV set, bicycle, sewing machine, and watch have all been ordered. When the day is approaching, go directly to the county to buy it. Two pieces are set as a pair, one for each of the two.As for Gao Xiu'er's furniture, Gao Aiguo has already laid it out, a wardrobe, a table and a dressing table, because there are a lot of materials prepared, Gao Aiguo also prepared a sitting cabinet for his sister.

As for the quilt, Gao's mother had already hired someone to make it. Later, because the two backs made by Liu Tao'er were really exquisite, Gao Xiu'er pestered her mother to make two more. It can be said that for this little daughter, everyone has no principles and everything It’s time to get more, she has what others have, and she also has what others don’t.

Everyone is an elder brother, and no one cares about such things with those who have no younger sisters, but Mother Gao is different. Although she also loves her daughter, the one who loves her most is her son. The youngest daughter spends so much money on dowry As a mother-in-law, Gao's mother is very distressed.

For example, the watch she bought for Xu Guoqiang, even her most precious third child doesn't have a watch yet, so why buy him one.Seeing that everyone was talking happily, Gao's mother said: "If you want me to say, there is no need to buy so many things. Xiu'er and Hong'er are the same as before. It's good to have some money in your hand. Look at Hong'er. Now, having the money to set up such a family business is no better than buying those messy things."

When everyone heard it, what Gao Mu said was actually reasonable. If you have money in your hand, you are confident in your in-laws. In fact, it is not necessarily better to buy this or that. Even Liu Taoer nodded secretly, although The mother-in-law is a little unreasonable, but this suggestion is still good.My sister-in-law Dongzi bought so much that the little money was almost spent, even the bride price from the Xu family would have to spend a lot, so Xiu'er would have a harder life in the future, and she didn't Work, no source of income, if you encounter something that costs money at that time, you will also be anxious.

Even Gao's father was thinking about his wife's opinion, which is actually good, whether to reduce it a little and let the girl hold more money, Gao's mother said again: "If Xiu'er is afraid of holding it in her hand, then the I’m afraid of a lot of money. I’ll keep it for you at home. I’m your mother, but I’m still greedy for your money. Even if I lend it to your brothers for a while, I can return it to you in the end. .”

As soon as Liu Tao'er said this, Liu Tao'er wanted to touch her forehead, Gao Hong'er frowned so much that she could kill a fly, this must be the matter of the third family again, this is what everyone present except the three children and who are talking about it endlessly The voices of everyone except Mother Gao.

"Crack" Gao Xiu'er put down her chopsticks and left angrily, Gao Hong'er said to Liu Tao'er and Wu Lan: "Tao'er and the children have almost eaten, you take the three children to play in the room for a while , by the way, you should also take a rest, sitting so upright is also very tiring. Sister-in-law, you also go back to see the pigs and chickens at home, you must be very hungry if you come here so early."

Of course Liu Tao'er knew that this meant for them to avoid, she didn't hesitate, she immediately got up and took the children out, she is pregnant now and it is not easy to get involved in this matter, if there is a collision or something, she will cry There is nowhere to cry.Apparently Wu Lan thought the same way, got up quickly, and walked out with Liu Taoer.

But when going out, Liu Tao'er still heard Gao Hong'er's voice: "Mother, did the third family tell you something again, you tell me, I want to see what she's up to? That's good She won't be happy if she doesn't work, right?" Gao Hong'er's voice was high, and there was anger in her voice, and she was very angry when she heard it.

Liu Tao'er glanced at Wu Lan beside her, Wu Lan patted her hand with a smile and said, "It's okay, Hong'er can settle this matter today, our mother listens to Hong'er the most."
