From the birth of a son to the separation of Nuwa and her path to becoming a god

In order to reciprocate the favor, Meng Liu cooked a large table of delicious dishes that afternoon. She also fried a few meatloaf in a frying pan. If she was hungry at night, she could take them out to eat, and forcefully stuffed three of them for Qiao Xingchen.

He couldn't resist but happily accepted it.

The relationship between the two grew by leaps and bounds, and the news spread throughout the village. I had never seen anyone working for the woman before she was married, but I had never seen anyone do so much. Not only did he do all the work at work, but he even did all the laundry, pots, and dishes. .

No one could tell that Qiao Xingchen was still a lover.

At first, I just thought that this man was idle and idle, but now that he has a partner, he has become a man and has never been lazy again.

Several old ladies in the village were chatting together.

"I think that Qiao Xingchen is pretty good. It turns out that he must be young and ignorant. Now that he has a partner, he has become more mature. He is a good match for my second daughter."

"Come on, that boy Qiao Xingchen is so good-looking that only my Dabao can match him. Your second girl is so ugly that you wouldn't even know she's a girl among the men. You should give up on this idea as soon as possible."

"Hey, let me tell you, what are you guys so worried about? Her partner is a girl from the city, and Meng Liu's parents are high-ranking officials. It is said that they are some kind of factory director. Can he like your granddaughter?"

"What's wrong with the factory director? He's either come to our rural area, or the girls in the city are not good. She's so coquettish that she can't do anything. So the Qiao family is willing to marry such a wife? What will happen to Qiao Xingchen when she returns to the city in the future? In the village It’s still suitable for those in the village!”

The discussion between several people spread far and wide, and Grandma Qiao felt elated when she heard it. She straightened her body and happily went home with her hands behind her back.

Several matchmakers came one after another to marry Qiao Xingchen, and Aunt Qiao was happy to do so. However, Grandma Qiao firmly disagreed. Everyone thought her sweet grandson was a second-rate person before, so why did she rush here now that she saw the advantages? She doesn't care.

You used to ignore me, but you can't reach me now.

Grandma Qiao's current mentality was that she allowed Aunt Qiao to persuade her, but she refused to agree to any matchmaker and made it clear that she was targeting Meng Liu.

Otherwise, she was from the city and had good taste, and she would have known that her grandson was a good man.

Uncle Qiao and Aunt Qiao tried their best to not make the old lady change her story. They announced directly at home that Meng Liu was her chosen daughter-in-law. She took out the two hundred bride price and gave it to Qiao in front of everyone. stars.

"Mom, I don't want you to be so partial. We all earn the money in the family together. If we all give Qiao Xingchen a wife, how about we drink the northwest wind from now on?" Aunt Qiao said sourly.

Grandma Qiao slapped the table: "Who is the head of the family? I have already saved the money for their wives. You don't need to remind me that my eldest grandson is the grandson of our Qiao family, and the wife he married is a girl from the city. My parents have a monthly subsidy of one to two hundred yuan. If you don’t give me a gift, I can’t stand it!”

Aunt Qiao curled her lips, no matter how much the subsidy was, it would never go into her pocket! Can I still hand over my parents' subsidies to my family after I'm married? After all the calculations, it was still cheaper for Qiao Xingchen.

After receiving his wife's look, Uncle Qiao also said: "It's not that we are stingy, it's that the situation at home is really bad now. Our family's total savings are only about 500 yuan. If we spend more than half of it at once, no one will feel comfortable. , How about we take a look, the other girls in the village are also pretty good!"

"I like Meng Liu. My dear grandson is so handsome. None of the girls in the village can match him! If you still recognize me as your mother, don't stop your eldest nephew's marriage!"

These words were serious. No matter how reluctant Uncle Qiao and his wife were, they still did not dare to go against their own mother.

The younger brothers looked unhappy: "I have never seen grandma be so partial. Since I like Qiao Xingchen so much, I might as well separate our families and go live with him."

"That's right, my parents will provide for the retirement, and all the money will be spent on Qiao Xingchen. Who would want to do that!"

The other grandchildren talked more and more unpleasantly. Grandma Qiao's face didn't look good either.

Qiao Xingchen: "Okay, if you are willing, then we can separate our families, and I will take care of my milk from now on."

Aunt Qiao laughed, splitting up? What a beautiful thought.

She took out two hundred and didn't get a dime advantage. She was stupid to agree to the separation. Regardless of the family separation, they might be able to catch up with the factory director's contacts and get a job when the new wife arrives.

So the matter of the two-hundred-dollar gift was settled even though Grandma Qiao and Qiao Xingchen refused to let go.

Meng Liu has been living a good life recently, with good food and drinks and a handsome guy to look good at. It would be better if Zhang Youcai didn't harass her at every turn.

She also wants to put marriage on the agenda. People in this era are reserved. Even the original owner and Zhang Youcai had not confirmed their relationship in private. They just agreed to return to the city together in the future. This would be regarded as a match.

For example, her current relationship with Qiao Xingchen, who worked together and ate together, was an exchange of interests, but being together like this all the time had long been equivalent to being in a relationship. Almost everyone in the village thought they were a couple.

Neither Qiao Xingchen nor Meng Liu wanted to clarify, and ambiguity was surging between them.

I heard from Zhou Mei that Qiao Xingchen's family had a lot of people, and Meng Liu didn't want to find himself in the tiger's den again after finally having free food. I don't know if Qiao Xingchen can agree to the request to separate the family.

The two of them walked side by side on the way back after work at noon the next day.

"you......"

"you......"

The two spoke at the same time, Qiao Xingchen turned his head and looked down at her: "You speak first."

Meng Liu smiled: "I just wanted to ask you what you want to eat this afternoon. I still have some pork. If you are not busy, please accompany me to the county. I have to buy more meat."

Qiao Xingchen nodded in agreement without any hesitation. He went to the village chief's house and borrowed a bicycle to carry Meng Liu to the county seat.

Meng Liu first went to the post office and got a large package, which was sent by the original owner's parents. It contained two sets of summer clothes and some dried meat made by Meng's mother. She opened the letter and read it carefully. Again.

My heart sank.

The letter said that the situation in the city was becoming more and more serious, and the work of her parents and brothers had been affected a little. Meng's father was directly demoted from the factory director to the director. He might not be able to send so much money in the future, so let her Save some money.

Although Meng's father was worried that she would worry and had tried his best to write in a positive way, Meng Liu could still feel that the family might not be having a good time now. The money sent this time was almost half less. It was probably saved by the family members through frugality.

The head of Qinghe Village and the commune cadres all knew that her father was the factory director, so they turned a blind eye to her laziness. If they knew that her father had been demoted, they might think about asking for leave every now and then. Not so easy anymore.
