1979: My fiancée is a goddess

Chapter 96: Exhausted

In the hall.

A skinny old man smoking a pipe, a fat old lady, and a young woman with an overbite and a round face were sitting in the house, warming themselves by the fire, doing nothing.

This is his father Tangshan, and his mother Hu Cuiqin.

Sister Ermei was holding her daughter Xiaobao in her arms and teasing her.

Seeing Tang Dahai coming in, my mother Hu Cuiping asked hurriedly, "How is it? Dahai, did Qiaomei agree?"

Tang Ermei's eyes also flashed, as this matter concerned her work.

"Qiaomei said she would think about it again. In my opinion, we should put the family affairs aside for now."

Tang Dahai said in a deep voice.

"What's there to think about? Your sister Ermei hasn't said anything to me yet. Besides, if she gives her workstation to Ermei, she will be more relaxed, which is good for both childbirth and her health..."

Hu Cuiping was very impatient. She poked the fire with the tongs in her hand in a large motion, and a few sparks splashed onto the ground beside her.

My daughter Xiaobao was so scared that her face wrinkled and she started crying immediately.

"Woo~"

Tang Dahai quickly hugged him and coaxed him, complaining, "Mom, be careful. You scared Xiaobao."

"Haha... if it was a son, it would be fine, but a daughter is so precious. I was wondering if Nie Qiaomei is a bad woman? She gave birth to a daughter, and then she worked day and night, and there was no sign of pregnancy for a year or two.

Humph! Our Tang family still needs someone to carry on the family line! We have been married for three or four years and don’t even have a son. People outside are laughing at our family!”

Hu Cuiping said unhappily that having a chubby grandson in her arms was something Hu Cuiping had always dreamed of.

"Alright! Do you think you can take this job just because you want to? Without this job, will Dahai and his family starve to death?

This is a workstation. If you have a grandson in the future, he will inherit the identity of a worker. Do you understand? Aren't you tired of digging for food in the dirt all your life? If you give it to Ermei, she will become someone else's after she gets married. You have long hair but little knowledge and your eyes are so shallow! "

The old man at the top slammed the table, shocking everyone. The old man spoke, and the matter naturally came to an end.

Hu Cuiping was speechless, while Tang Ermei on the side was filled with resentment.

Seeing this, Tang Dahai took his daughter and left this place of trouble.

Tang Ermei and two other people were left in the room.

"I don't care whether I get this job or not. The main thing is that Nie Qiaomei gave all the money she had at home to her parents."

When Tang Ermei saw that his elder brother had gone out, his round face immediately darkened and he added fuel to the fire.

"Why are you in such a hurry? She is the only orphan in her family. She has no brothers and no relatives. The house in the county still belongs to our Tang family. When the time comes, our whole family will move to the county!"

When Hu Cuiping talked about the house in the county, her eyes were filled with anticipation.

"Let's go to the city! Then we will be city dwellers from now on. That would be so glorious!"

When Tang Ermei heard this, she thought about it and was immediately overjoyed, clapping her hands excitedly.

City people!

The old man sitting on it and smoking a pipe sighed, what a misfortune for his family!
……

Tang Dahai carried Xiaobao to the gate. Several children were playing and setting off firecrackers on the open space outside the gate.

My younger brother Sanxi sat with the son of the village party secretary, reading a book with a cover that was red as blood.

Tang Sanxi stretched his slender neck curiously to see, but the village party secretary's son was only concerned with looking at himself.

"Don't just watch it by yourself, wait for me."

"I bought this, why should I wait for you?"

"Hmph~ What's so great about that? When my sister becomes a worker in a textile factory, I'll ask her to buy it!"

Tang Sanxi snorted, rolled up his sleeves and shrank back on the stool in a sullen manner, but he was really curious and would steal a peek from time to time, with a timid look on his face, and really didn't show any manliness at all.

Tang Sanxi was eighteen or nineteen years old and was attending high school in the county.

I didn't go to the countryside when I was young because my family was three generations of poor peasants. Farmers didn't have to become educated youth because they were already in the countryside, but their lives were much better than in other places.

After all, it is under the feet of the emperor and the imperial city.

It is much better than other rural areas. There are buses passing by on the main road outside the village, and many people in the village carry their loads on their shoulders to sell vegetables in the county and the city.

"Your sister is a worker. Come on, you might as well go and beg your sister-in-law. This book only costs 1.2 yuan!" The son of the village chief sneered.

"I won't ask her, I'll buy it myself!"

Tang Dahai stood at the door and took a look. It was a novel called Fang Cao. "Er Gou, what book is this? Where did you buy it?"

"Many people are scrambling for this book. Brother Dahai, you can't buy it even if you have money. Yesterday morning, the Xinhua Bookstore in the county was packed with people. Even in Beijing, people heard that we have it for sale in the county and came to the county to buy it. A classmate of mine bought it for 1.2 yuan and sold it to someone in Beijing for 4 yuan.

Have you heard of Xiao Fang by the Central Radio Station? The author of this book, Cheng Kaiyan, is the creator of Xiao Fang. It is very touching. "Ergou from the secretary's house looked up and explained.

"I've never heard of it. Sanxi, can you please be more promising, study hard, and try to get into university next year?" Tang Dahai frowned.

"I know. Are you annoying? You can't even read a single word, what do you know? Is it so easy to get into university? How can you get into university without studying?" Tang Sanxi rolled his eyes impatiently.

Tang Dahai's face changed. Just as he was about to speak, his daughter took out a piece of blue and white candy with a rabbit on the wrapper from her pocket and said in a baby voice, "Eat candy~"

White Rabbit? Where did this come from?
Tang Dahai raised his eyebrows. This is a rare thing. It is not sold in the county and only available in Beijing. Ordinary people cannot buy it. It is a special supply.

"Where did this come from, Xiaobao?"

"Chirp, chirp, chirp, gurgle..."

The little girl held a candy in her short hand and shook it, drooling as she spoke in baby language. She was only one or two years old, so her speech was not very clear.

But Tang Dahai didn't think much about it. Maybe his wife bought it for the child on the way.

Just as he was thinking about it, Tang Sanxi, who was standing beside him, heard that there was candy to eat and hurried over.

He fumbled in Xiaobao's pockets and soon pulled out a handful of candies. "Hey! This little girl has so many hidden candies! They're White Rabbit candies! These are good things. My sister-in-law is so stingy that she buys candies for her daughter but doesn't buy them for us."

After saying that, he stuffed the candies into his pocket, leaving only two or three for Xiaobao.

"Sanxi! What are you doing? You're snatching the kid's candy? Do you have any ambition?"

Tang Dahai's expression changed instantly and he scolded in a deep voice.

This frightened Tang Sanxi, and he was about to return the candy timidly.

As a result, Hu Cuiping and Tang Ermei walked to the door and heard the noise.

Hu Cuiping said: "It's just candy, it's for your little brother to nourish his body before the college entrance exam, what's the big deal about eating some candy? This girl is getting fat from eating so much, but it's not enough, she's wasting such a good thing.

Besides, why did Qiaomei buy some candy and eat it all by herself? Why didn’t she share it with her sister-in-law and brother-in-law? "

Tang Sanxi stuffed the money back into his pocket without saying a word, as if he had someone backing him up.

"Mom, what do you mean by saying this? He even steals things from children. You still expect this bastard to go to college? If he has the ability to do this, I will write his name backwards!" Tang Dahai was very angry.

"Your father and I raised you up, provided you with good food, drink and clothes, everything in the house was provided for you, and you got so angry just because I ate a few candies from you?

If I ask you to help Sanxi get married, won't you be very aggressive? "

Hu Cuiping started shouting at the top of her lungs.

Tang Dahai's face flushed. That being said, as the eldest son, he used the family's resources, and logically he should take care of the old and provide for the young. But to put it bluntly, the little things in the rural family were not equal to the obligations he needed to fulfill.

He didn't use a penny of his family's money to marry his wife. If it weren't for his wife and himself contributing to the household expenses over the years, this family would have collapsed and starved.

Hu Cuiping's words hit him right in the heart, and he got so emotional that he started quarreling with her.

Nie Qiaomei in the kitchen listened from the corner for a while and found that the noise was really loud, so she came out to take a look.

He first looked at Tang Sanxi with disgust. He even scrambled for children's candies. What a promising guy!

Seeing her husband and his evil mother-in-law quarreling fiercely, Nie Qiaomei symbolically advised them, "Stop quarreling..."

What are you arguing about? In her opinion, it would be best to separate the family!

The scene became a mess.

……

Tang Ermei, who had sharp eyes, suddenly caught a glimpse of something red in Xiaobao's pocket.

She reached out and found it was a red envelope with a brand new big unity banknote stuffed inside.

Tang Ermei's eyes lit up immediately. Great unity! !
One dollar is a lot of money these days. Ten dollars can buy more than 100 kilograms of rice in the countryside, which is definitely a huge sum of money.

"The red envelope... is mine."

The confused Xiaobao looked anxious, his short hands couldn't catch the red envelope, and it was waving in the air.

Tang Ermei was not stupid, so how could she make this public? She immediately held the baby and coaxed him, "Little baby, be good, I will save the money for you first, and I will give it to you when you grow up. Children can't take money."

There was a quarrel over there and money was being defrauded over here, but no one noticed.
