Su Qian knew that Zhao Tingting had a younger sister. She had gone to the countryside to join the team before. Her younger sister was not as good at studying as Zhao Tingting. She only went to the first grade of high school and then stopped going to school. After the college entrance examination was resumed, she did not go to college. She returned to the city two years ago. Now Zhao Tingting's mother

I found a small collective factory to work in.

At this time, the whole family has gone to work, and only my younger brother, who is still repeating his studies, is at home during the summer vacation.

Zhao Tingting sat on the small bench and continued to do laundry while chatting with Su Qian. After a while, Zhao Tingting talked about her marriage, "The two families have already agreed. I will get the certificate in September and get married on November."

Su Qian did not expect that Zhao Tingting was about to get married. She calculated that Zhao Tingting was two years older than her and was twenty-three years old. In this era, it is not too early or too late to get married at this age.

"Still the same Liu Changping as last time?"

Zhao Tingting nodded.

"It's a pity that if you get married during the summer vacation, I won't be able to attend your wedding in time."

Zhao Tingting shook her head, "There is no such thing as a wedding. I just moved to his house to live there and the family had a meal together."

"Chang Ping said he would buy me a watch and two new clothes before we get married, and give my mother two hundred yuan as a bride price."

"My mother said she would spend two hundred yuan to buy quilts and other things, and she would give them to me as a dowry."

Su Qian looked at Zhao Tingting carefully. There didn't seem to be any happy expression on her face, but she wasn't unhappy either, just plain.

At this time, Zhao Tingting suddenly laughed and said, "Their house is big, with several rooms. He used to have several sisters in the family, but now that the sisters have all gotten married, there is room left to buy a house."

"My mother said she would give us two houses. I made an agreement with Chang Ping. The small house will be used as a study for me. I can read books and do my homework in it in the future."

Zhao Tingting's biggest wish in this life is to own a house of her own.

Growing up, she had never lived alone in a room.

When I was a child, I lived at my grandma's house and slept in the same bed with my uncle's daughter. When I returned to the capital, I slept in the same bed with my sister.

Going to the countryside, a few people share a room.

Now when I go to college, I still live in a dormitory with several people per room.

Having a room of her own has become Zhao Tingting's obsession.

A large part of the reason why she was willing to marry Liu Changping was that his family had ample housing conditions.

There are five large tile-roofed houses in his house, and there is also a kitchen. Liu Changping's parents and Liu Changping live in the house.

Zhao Tingting talked nonchalantly, and Su Qian listened with a smile on her face.

After talking about her own affairs, Zhao Tingting added: "Yuan Gang and Tian Xiaohui are about to get married. They have met at home and said they will get married next year after Yuan Gang graduates and is assigned."

Susie smiled: "Very good."

Zhao Tingting turned to look at Su Qian and smiled: "What about you? You and Qiao Mu have been dating for several years. When do you plan to get married?"

Susie didn't expect that there would be someone urging the marriage. She smiled and said, "It might take a year or two."

Zhao Tingting sighed with emotion, "Time flies so fast. When we first went to jump in line, you and Xiaohui were only sixteen years old."

Susie also felt a little emotional. They didn't know what kind of life they would lead in the next ten or twenty years.

Su Qian watched Zhao Tingting finish rubbing her clothes, then go to the yard to wash them under the faucet over and over again, and then hang them to dry in the yard.

After Zhao Tingting finished her work, Su Qian said: "I'm going to Songshan Mountain in a few days. Do you want to go play with me?"

She felt that Zhao Tingting was working too hard at home and she could relax by following her out.

Zhao Tingting's eyes shone, "Going to Songshan? I -"

Then the light in her eyes dimmed again, "I still have to do laundry and cooking at home. They all have to go to work. No one will do anything at home when I leave."

What was just washed was the clothes that the family had changed out of after taking a shower yesterday. Her father and brother both took a shower very late and there was no time to do the laundry at night. She made breakfast and waited until they all went to work before doing the laundry.

It’s hard to say, Susie. Could it be that your family won’t eat or take a shower when you’re not at home?

She just looked at Zhao Tingting and said, "Go ahead, it's a rare opportunity. I'll go see the progress of the company's movie shooting, and we can also play around."

Zhao Tingting was already excited. When she heard about making a movie, she couldn't hold it back. "Go, I haven't seen how the movie is made."

Susie smiled and said, "That's it, I'll book the tickets tomorrow."

Zhao Tingting left Su Qian to have lunch. Su Qian waved her hand and said, "I have to go home, otherwise my grandma will scold me if I don't come home to eat after she has cooked the food."

Zhao Tingting said: "Last time you wrote a letter and you said you had moved. I will take you back, just in time to recognize the door."

Several people took a taxi back to the courtyard, Zhao Tingting recognized the door and went home.

Go home and quickly wash rice, wash vegetables, and cook.

At the lunch table, Zhao Tingting said in front of everyone, "I want to go to Songshan with Su Qian. We will go for about half a month."

Zhao Tingting's mother immediately frowned, "You finally have a vacation, and you are helping the family with some things to lighten my burden. If you run away, who will do the things at home?"

"Everyone has to go to work, and when they come back, they have to do food and laundry. They are exhausted."

Just as Zhao Tingting was about to say something, her mother said again: "You are about to get married. How many days can you still help the family? I raised you and didn't get anything in return from you. I even told you that I don't want you as a bride price."

of."

"The salary you earn from now on will also belong to your husband's family. If you are sensible, you should take advantage of the last time you have at home to contribute more to the family."

Zhao Tingting was silent.

She didn't know what to say about her mother, who seemed to love her, but her status in her mother's heart was definitely not as good as her brother's.

In her mother's opinion, as the eldest daughter, she should help her parents shoulder the burden of the family.

She did all the dirty work. When she was a child, it was always her job to empty and clean the toilet. When she got home from school, she had to cook quickly.

Zhao Tingting never thought that there was anything wrong with it, that all other children lived like this.

Her mother also cared about her and said that she was a good date now that she was older. Occasionally she would pull cloth to make her new clothes. Her mother was also willing to give her a dowry gift when she got married.

But Zhao Tingting always felt that her mother seemed to be missing something from her.

She raised her eyes and said in a low voice but very firmly: "Susie is my most valued good friend. I have already promised her. I can't go back on my word. I must go this time."

Zhao Tingting's father raised his hand and waved the chopsticks in his hand, "Okay, if she wants to go, let her go."

"Besides, her friend Susie is not an ordinary person. She has to manage the relationship well."

What else did Zhao Tingting's mother want to say? She glanced at Zhao Tingting, sighed, and thought to herself, forget it. I heard that Su Qian was very rich, so she probably didn't need to spend money on Tingting, so she just let her go out to have fun. From now on, she will get married and go out.

It's even more difficult, and you still have to look at your mother-in-law's face.

When Zhao Tingting saw that her parents no longer objected, she felt indescribably happy.
