A bunch of furniture and appliances that were neither cheap nor high-end not only changed Wu Fangge's status in the Cui family, but also changed the image of her parents who had always seemed to be poor and happy in Cui Mingli's mind.
In a sentence: Don't look at appearances, there is nothing in this world
Who cannot be bribed? Although Cui Mingli has known this sentence before and believed that her parents must have a moral bottom line in this matter, she did not expect that it was so cheap, and it was in front of her a minute ago.
Demoting Wu Fangge to the point of being worthless
, she almost didn't directly say that her morals were corrupt, but the next minute she affectionately called her "Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu's" in a tone that sounded disgusting and disgusting, but she couldn't show any dissatisfaction because of it.
Because these are her biological parents, and
The change in their attitude was good for her marriage to Wu Fangge. So she rolled her eyes at Wu Fangge, her eyes were complicated and a bit angry, as if to say: "Now you are satisfied." Then she
He left Wu Fangge's side and went to help his mother.
After working for a few hours, I finally moved all the new furniture into the house, but there are a lot of old things that I have no place to put. People who are used to living in poverty cherish things very much and are reluctant to throw away the worn out ones.
What's more, it's not worn out yet
"Don't look at this thing as it is old. The quality of the things produced in the old age is good. It has only been repaired once in more than ten years." Dad Cui gently stroked the hood of a floor-standing electric fan, as if he was giving it to a child who is about to leave home.
As a final reminder
Wu Fangge Nuonuo said yes. In fact, he had learned about this fan yesterday. It could rotate upside down and there was wind. Even the noise was like the propeller of the plane.
Not only Cui's father and Cui's mother were reluctant to throw away things, but those seven aunts and eight aunts saw that the Cui family's furniture and appliances were being replaced, and they felt that it was profitable, and they all stretched out their hands to try to get those old things they had fallen in love with back to their homes.
Her expression and demeanor are just like the 'Tofu Xi Shi' in Lu Xun's "Hometown", except that she has a figure after all, like a long-legged compass, but here, she is just a fat woman.
"Oh, your house has been replaced with new things. Why do you still keep this old one? Give it to me. If you are dissatisfied, I have been interested in this thing since the year you got married. I have been thinking about it for more than 20 years."
My aunt said it was better now. Not only were the expressions and demeanor similar, but the facial expressions and lines were all the same.
"No, my Xiaoli is used to it. She wants to bring it as a dowry." Cui's mother pressed her hand and didn't let go.
"Oh my, just ask your son-in-law to buy it again if you like. He is so generous and won't care about this little money. Besides, you are a new person in a new house. Why put up an old thing..."
"It's your turn to be happy now," Cui Mingli said to Wu Fangge, "a few pieces of furniture and electrical appliances reveal the true nature of my parents and relatives."
Wu Fangge whispered to her: "It's all the same. It's the same for those who have elders in the family. They all came from hard times. How can someone who doesn't scrimp and live frugally treat us like this?"
Cui Mingli said: "I really don't know if you understand people or if you are deliberately trying to please them."
“It’s both,” Wu Fangge said.
Finally, when the dust settled here, those aunts and uncles also got some benefits, but they still refused to leave. They said to Cui Ma: "What delicious food are you going to give your son-in-law?" So Wu Fangge simply said
Invite everyone to dinner, and these relatives
The families were all nearby, so they gathered their husbands and children, and some even hugged their grandchildren. They sat at three tables before they could barely sit down. Next, the adults drank and punched, while the children cried and ran away like crazy.
It took another two hours of hard work to finish.
After sending away the last relative, Cui's father and Cui's mother finally settled down. From the beginning, Cui's mother was secretly settling accounts. It turned out that the money spent on buying things and eating was definitely not a small amount. I felt distressed. After all, it was spent at this time.
There are more people. In the future, when their daughter gets married, the burden will be heavier. Their worries are not unreasonable. After all, they are small families who are used to getting by, and they don’t know Wu
Fangge's current net worth was not good and he told Wu Fangge directly, so he tactfully talked about the principles of diligence and frugality that the elders used to talk about. Wu Fangge was now eager to stabilize the home front and was unwilling to reveal his wealth, so he kept making promises. In fact,
The more people who ate just now, the happier he was. If people were willing to come to eat, it meant they recognized his status. If they couldn't even invite them, it would be a bad thing to say.
We chatted some more about daily life at Cui's house. Wu Fangge originally planned to make an appointment for the two parents to meet, but Cui's father felt that it was not good to change his face so quickly, so he refused to think about it again. In fact, he had already seen it
The most I can do is push it the next day, and the matter is settled. But today, I still want to save some face for the two old men. But there is one thing in Wu Fangge's heart.
It was a bit awkward, but Cui's mother refused to let Cui Mingli leave with him on the same day. She insisted on waiting until marriage, at least after getting the marriage certificate. Wu Fangge didn't want to embarrass Cui Mingli, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. In fact, Cui's father and Cui's mother agreed.
With his intelligence, he would not have guessed that the two of them were already in a relationship. It was just to save face. As compensation, they allowed Cui Mingli to take him to the bus station.
After leaving Cui's house, the two of them strolled on the road to the factory. There were many people enjoying the cool weather along the way, many of whom were acquainted with Cui Mingli. This was the characteristic of factories and mines. At this time, Wu Fangge understood that Cui's mother did not want Cui Mingli.
The reason for living together with me is that generally speaking, old state-owned factories and mines are relatively independent and closed places with high living density and many acquaintances. The views on things like 'face' and 'reputation' are always slower than those of the outside world.
The two of them were chatting while walking. Although the pressure in Cui Mingli's heart was relieved a lot, she was still not happy because her work unit was still talking to her about her ex-boyfriend. In addition, she was a little dissatisfied with her parents being looked down upon.
The philistine Wu Fangge who was hiding behind the cover was naturally trying to persuade, coax and tease him. Now it can be said that he is besieged on all sides.
, there can be no more quarrels between the two. When they arrived at the station, Wu Fangge looked at the stop sign and then at his watch. He found that the last train had already passed and the place was remote and taxis rarely came, so he took out
She used her mobile phone and wanted to call the taxi company to ask for a car, but Cui Mingli grabbed her wrist and said, "You just want to leave so much."
Wu Fangge smiled and said, "You can come with me."
Cui Mingli shook her head and said, "No, if I don't go back, I will be scolded again tomorrow."
Wu Fangge suddenly remembered the 'do it again' joke he saw before his rebirth, and sighed: "Oh, it seems that there are still too many smashes."
Cui Mingli pinched him and said, "If you dare to show off your dirty money again in the future, see how I deal with you."
After hearing this, Wu Fangge quickly admitted his mistake and passed this level.
"Let's sit for a while and then you go back." Cui Mingli suggested taking a walk on Love Road.
Love Road is a remote factory road that leads to a branch factory. Because of its remoteness, there are some benches for people to rest on the side of the road. Therefore, in summer, it becomes a place for couples to fall in love. In fact,
This road also has the function of walking and enjoying the cool air, but this function is generally only used before nine o'clock in the summer evening. After that, it is still a paradise for young people.
Since it is a paradise of love, I met several couples just a short distance along the way. Some were holding hands, some were arm-in-arm, and some were kissing on the side of the road. The most outrageous couple, Wu Fangge watched.
The man put his hand into the girl's clothes by the roadside.
"This era is better..." Wu Fangge sighed from the bottom of his heart, because no matter what the young men and women here are doing at this time, the fire of love is still burning. In a few years, the factory area will be restructured, and this street will be renovated.
Full of wine, it became a place where fireflies were rampaging, but the security police in the area were so rich that they always came back with a full load every time they raided it.
Cui Mingli found a bench, pulled Wu Fangge over to sit down, leaned on his shoulder, and let out a long breath. Wu Fangge put his arm around her shoulders and said softly: "I've wronged you."
Cui Mingli shook her head and said: "As long as you treat me well in the future, I will not feel wronged."
Wu Fangge bit her ear and said, "Don't worry, I will redouble my efforts to help you get back what you lost because of me."
"I don't want to..." Cui Mingli said and took the initiative to kiss Wu Fangge's lips.
After a long time, the two reluctantly separated. Wu Fangge said affectionately: "Go back with me."
Cui Mingli answered firmly: "No"
It seemed that there was no discussion on this matter at all. Wu Fangge was a little disappointed. Unexpectedly, Cui Mingli then said: "Tomorrow at noon, I will come over after work..."
Wu Fangge smiled and took her into his arms again. Cui Mingli's hand seemed to have slipped between his legs unintentionally. She smiled and whispered: "Bad guy! Are you thinking of bad things again?"
Wu Fangge kissed her on the forehead and said: "If it doesn't get better, it must be because you have practiced the Sunflower Book."
"You should practice hard." Cui Mingli pinched his leg again, put her mouth to Wu Fangge's ear and whispered, "Do you want me to help you?"
Wu Fangge looked around. Although there were intimate men and women not far away, they were not so passionate yet, so he said: "No, there are too many people here."
The night was so dark that Wu Fangge couldn't see clearly whether Cui Mingli's face was red at this time, but it felt hot to the touch. Her bright eyes flickered in the dark night and said: "I'm not doing it for you, I'm afraid that you will panic.
If you go back tonight and do something sorry for me..."
"Xiaoli, I can't do it. It's enough for me to have you." Wu Fangge made a vow softly.
Cui Mingli's voice made people feel soft all over after hearing it. It was completely different from the usual tomboy: "It's better to give you some insurance." She said, unzipped Wu Fangge's pants, and leaned down...
"This... is not good... people will see it." Wu Fangge was still pretending, but in fact he was already feeling so happy.
"No," Cui Mingli said unskillfully, "They will think I'm sleeping on your lap..."
I slept well this time. As I fell asleep, Cui Mingli still grabbed Wu Fangge's hand and stretched it through her collar.
