Chu Shoucheng was moving things back and forth at home, and happened to meet his colleagues from school. After seeing him carrying large and small bags home, they all gathered around him and made fun of him, thinking that he had married a rich wife, and he was not happy at all. It was the same, not only was I refreshed, but my hands were obviously better.

"My wife likes to cook and is very good at cooking, so I prepared some extra things." Chu Shoucheng smiled honestly, and suddenly remembered that this colleague had a driver's license, so he asked him about the driving school.

"What? Are you planning to buy a car? Your quality of life has improved very quickly. You just put the car purchase on your agenda right after you got married."

A colleague was shocked when he heard that Chu Shoucheng wanted to buy a car, but he immediately figured it out. Zhong Meihui's dowry included 10,000+ cash, so she could certainly afford a car.

"I'm not buying it right away, I'm just learning it while I have time, otherwise it will definitely become more and more difficult to take the exam in the future." Chu Shoucheng quickly denied it, not wanting Zhong Meihui's mother-in-law to know about it, so as not to cause trouble for her.

"It's better to pass the test first. I happen to know a driving school that offers discounts."

Chu Shoucheng's colleagues were very enthusiastic. He followed their recommendation and enrolled in a local driving school with a 3500 package. The class would start on the eighth day of the new year.

Zhong Meihui thinks the price is reasonable, not to mention that Chu Shoucheng has always been smart and can learn everything immediately. It is estimated that Chu Shoucheng will get his driver's license before the child is born, and he will buy a new car by then, and his family of four will Go out together.

"Meihui, next time we go to your parents' house, we can probably drive a new car."

On the morning of the 12th, Chu Shoucheng returned to his parents' home with Zhong Meihui with various gifts. For convenience, Chu Ruoxin, Yaoyao and Yingzi stayed at home and did not go back together.

The two of them were still riding the same electric bicycle and were inconspicuous when they entered the door. However, in order to let others know that his sister had returned home, Zhong Meihui's brother specially prepared a string of 5000-ring firecrackers and lit them at the door.

The crackling sound alarmed the neighbors. When they saw Chu Shoucheng and Zhong Meihui moving large and small bags home, they couldn't help but talk. They felt that Zhong Meihui's family had burned high incense in their previous life. Not only did their daughter make a lot of money, but also Found a rich son-in-law.

Both the betrothal gift and the dowry are so generous, and even the door-return gift is decent, making people very envious.

This effect is exactly what Zhong Meihui's brother wants to achieve. Their family's status in the village is now different from what it used to be, and anyone will take a high look at it.

"Then why don't you repair your house if you have money? In our village, their house is considered old. I guess all the money was borrowed to show off."

"What you said is so bitter. It's 10,000+. Why don't I see you borrowing it to support the family?"

All the words from the neighbors fell on the ears of Zhong Meihui’s father. It has always been his wish to repair the house. Now with Zhong Meihui’s gift of [-] yuan, plus the money he saved before, he really wants to renovate the house at home. one time.

It's just that all the family's savings are now invested, and more importantly, he knows that Zhong Meihui doesn't have much money anymore. It's difficult to squeeze out more money by asking her to repair the house at this time, so it's better to wait.

After the house is sold in two months, he will ask Zhong Meihui for money. By then, the IOU in his hand will not only be cashable, but he may be able to squeeze out more.

"Mom and Dad, this is the homecoming gift we brought. Please accept it." As soon as Chu Shoucheng entered the door, he put a lot of things in his hands on the table. After seeing so many good cigarettes and wine, bacon and fish, , Zhong Meihui’s parents showed a satisfied smile.

Her father threw the two cigarettes directly to his son and asked him to keep them until the important day, so as not to have to spend money to buy them later.

"Dad, why are you putting up such good cigarettes? Anyway, after we finish smoking, my brother-in-law will buy them for us." Zhong Meihui's brother opened a cigarette directly. He had already smoked almost all the Chinese cigarettes at the wedding banquet two days ago. Now that I see them again, I naturally want to keep a few boxes to show off to my friends.

Zhong Meihui's parents were noncommittal about this. Since childhood, whatever Zhong Meihui's brother wanted, his parents would try their best to satisfy him. What's more, now that he is satisfied with Zhong Meihui's things, it is even more natural in their eyes.

"Stop smoking. We can't bear to buy such expensive cigarettes often."

Zhong Meihui directly rejected her brother's unreasonable request. These words made her parents look gloomy and they couldn't help but murmur a few words while sitting at the table.

"This is a homecoming gift, but the Chinese New Year is coming soon. You are a married girl and can no longer serve your parents' family. Do you have to give a red envelope and buy some new year's goods for your parents' family?"

After seeing these things, Zhong Meihui's father felt that something was missing. In the past, every Chinese New Year, Zhong Meihui would give red envelopes to her parents and younger brothers, never less than 2000 yuan. What she got back this year was obviously not enough.

What's more, since she couldn't bear to part with those good cigarettes and good wine, she had to let some blood flow, otherwise, wouldn't they have given birth to this daughter in vain?

"I have prepared the red envelope for a long time, but I spent all the money when I got married, and now I only have 500 yuan."

Zhong Meihui handed over the red envelope. The amount was so much less. Her parents were inevitably a little regretful. However, when they thought about the 10 yuan gift they had asked for, Zhong Meihui asked someone to borrow the money and gave away all her family's money on the wedding day. To save face, forget about it.

According to the rules of the village, the daughter's homecoming banquet must be held grandly, and even several tables of wine must be invited. However, Zhong Meihui's parents are reluctant to spend this money for her. The homecoming banquet is all prepared by Zhong Meihui's mother. Yes, the dishes are also very simple.

Stir-fried bacon with chili pepper, mapo tofu, stir-fried beef offal... They are all served on large plates and bowls. It looks like a full table, but in fact there are only six dishes, mostly with chili pepper and other side dishes.

Zhong Meihui calculated the price of the meal in her mind, and it was probably not as much as the gifts she brought.

"Hurry up and eat. This meal is not only your homecoming banquet, but also your New Year's Eve meal at your parents' home." Zhong Meihui's parents are extremely stingy, and even such a simple meal can be interpreted in two ways. Had a meal.

Zhong Meihui didn't care about this. Anyway, the only two flavors her mother cooked were spicy and salty, and she didn't want to eat more.

She picked up the food in Larry's bowl with her hands. It was indeed very oily and spicy. All the food could no longer taste its original taste. It was a complete waste of resources.

Everyone had nothing to say at the dinner table, just a few casual polite words. The meal was eaten very quickly. When they put down the bowls and chopsticks, Zhong Meihui's parents solemnly told Zhong Meihui in front of her younger brother.

"After this meal, from today on, you will be a guest at your parents' house."
