Reincarnation of Soul Cultivation 2

After resting for more than ten minutes, Liu Shan went back to work, and Su Yu also returned to the place where she was working. Although the work was not smooth, she still had to get three or four work points every day to not be hungry.

When returning home for lunch at noon, Liu Shan's parents really asked him, "Are you talking to that female educated youth Su Yu?"

Liu Shan nodded and admitted, "We see each other right and have been talking for a while."

Father Liu and mother Liu are not very satisfied.

As mentioned above, most of the villagers in Liujia Village have a bad impression of Su Yu, thinking that she is just a delicate girl who cannot work. If she marries her home as a wife, she will be a burden that cannot contribute to the family.

However, Father Liu and Mother Liu did not strongly object.

Because the three members of the Liu family are very capable people, their family gets so much food every year that they can't finish it, and they can exchange the excess food for money every year to accumulate some family wealth.Therefore, when it comes to Liu Shan marrying a wife, their family does not force Liu Shan to find a very capable daughter-in-law.

Finding a hardworking and capable daughter-in-law is of course the first choice.

But even if they find a less capable daughter-in-law, the Liu family can accept it.

Because with the Liu family's family background, it is acceptable to find a less capable daughter-in-law.

That is to say, Liu Jiabai can afford to support an idler.

Because the Liu family has been passed down for several generations, the Liu family's parents love Liu Shan very much.

However, Liu Shan has been sensible and capable since he was a child. He was not pampered as an ignorant prodigal or a gangster who doesn't work. On the contrary, he is a hardworking person and a model worker in the production team.

Such a son who makes the Liu family's parents proud, even if they choose a daughter-in-law who is not so satisfactory, they are still acceptable - as long as their son likes it.

Moreover, in the opinion of Liu's parents, Su Yu was not the worst choice.

At least Su Yu is a literate high school graduate and a city resident.Even if he can't work, he can be regarded as a tie with those illiterate village girls who are diligent and capable but can't read.

If Su Yu hadn't been an educated youth sent to the countryside, and there was no policy not to return to the city, otherwise their son Liu Shan would never have been able to marry a high school graduate in the city.

Liu's parents were acquiescing to Liu Shan and Su Yu's falling in love.

Liu Shan and Su Yu didn't have to meet secretly anymore, they sat together to rest and talk during the intervals between farm work every day.

When the Liu family bought meat, or ate white flour steamed buns and egg noodles, they would also ask Su Yu to eat at home to improve her dietary life.

Then the three members of the Liu family discovered one of Su Yu's strengths, that is, he is good at cooking and his cooking is delicious.

Liu's mother usually cooks in the Liu family. She is not good at cooking. No matter what ingredients are cooked, they are cooked in a big pot.Occasionally, she eats meat to improve her life. She stir-fries pork or chicken nuggets with lard, and the dishes always have a fishy smell.

Of course, in this era of lack of supplies, even if it is meat with a fishy smell, the three members of the Liu family eat very deliciously, and they will never waste food.

Su Yu, who is lazy, greedy and pleasure-seeking, can't do anything else, but she has good cooking skills. When she has any ingredients in her hands, she can make the food delicious.

So whenever the Liu family wanted to improve their lives and asked Su Yu to come over for dinner, Su Yu would always cook.

Because Su Yu cooked delicious food, Liu Shan and Liu's parents also enjoyed delicious food.The Liu family's parents have never eaten the food cooked by a chef in the city. In their opinion, the food made by Su Yu is the top-level food.It can be compared with the best cook in the village. In the future, if anyone kills a pig, they can invite Su Yu to cook the pig.

So when it comes to Liu Shan and Su Yu's marriage, the Liu family's parents are not so reluctant anymore.

Even if Su Yu is not good at farm work, with such a cooking skill, he is already very good at it.It is definitely not a loss for their family to marry Su Yu as their daughter-in-law, and they will be able to eat delicious meals every day in the future.

So not long after the relationship between Liu Shan and Su Yu was made public, the Liu family's parents started to ask them to get married.

This is also the habit of this age. No one in the village will talk about a few years of love, and they will get married after seeing each other when the conditions are right.

If Liu Shan and Su Yu are in an open relationship, if they don't get married in the future, it will become a joke and scandal in the village.Therefore, it is very reasonable for Liu's parents to urge them to get married.

Su Yu originally planned to get married locally, so he fell in love with Liu Shan.Liu Shan did not object to marriage, so the two of them reached an agreement on marriage.

Then Su Yu wrote a letter to her parents, saying that she was getting married and asked them to pay for the dowry.

Su Yu knew that her parents were partial, so every time she asked her parents for money or something, she just opened her mouth to ask for it.In her mind, even if she didn't want it, they would not spend the money and things on themselves, but on their son.It will be used on the daughter-in-law and grandson in the future.It might as well be used on herself.

Su Yu's parents were not very bad parents other than patriarchal. At least after treating their daughter badly, they would always give it to her whenever she asked them for something.Before the son got married, the family lived relatively well, and they gave their daughter a monthly subsidy.

It's just that after the son got married, the daughter-in-law was more cautious. Under her pillow, the son who didn't care about his parents subsidizing his sister began to feel unhappy that they subsidized that bottomless sister in the countryside every month.

Su Yu's parents will rely on their son and daughter-in-law to support them in the future, so they don't want to make trouble with them, so they want to reduce the subsidy for Su Yu.

But this time Su Yu wrote back saying that he was going to get married and asked them to pay for the dowry. They still tried their best to prepare for Su Yu according to the dowry specifications in the city.

For example, Su Yu's sister-in-law is the only daughter in the family, so when she got married, the family prepared a watch, bicycle, sewing machine, and radio for her, the so-called "three turns and one sound" as a dowry.

The Su family had a son, so it was impossible to prepare so much dowry for their daughter, but they also prepared money and tickets for Su Yu to buy watches and radios.Although it was not enough to make up the three rings, but in the countryside, this dowry is already very good.

Buying watches and radios is not a small fortune these days, so this dowry is very affordable.The Su family's parents also wrote to say that after she got married, she would be a member of her husband's family, and they would no longer give her living allowances.

This was what Su Yu had expected. Getting a good dowry was enough to make her happy, so Su Yu calmly accepted her parents' arrangement.

Liu Shan's parents picked an auspicious day to prepare wine.

A few days before that, Liu Shan and Su Yu went to the county town to take pictures, get a marriage certificate, and went to a department store in the county town to buy watches and radios for Su Yu's dowry.

When Su Yu originally went to the countryside, she brought a watch with her. When she was arranged by her parents to go to the countryside, she asked them to buy it for her.It is still a brand-name watch made in Shanghai, and its appearance and quality are very good.So Su Yu didn't buy a new watch for herself this time, but bought a men's watch of the same brand for Liu Shan, and her watch made a couple's watch.

Su Yu asked her parents for a watch before she went to the countryside, not because of anything else, but because she felt that going to the countryside as an educated youth suffered a great loss compared to her brother who stayed at home, so she wanted to pay some compensation from her parents.Watches are more expensive and easy to carry, so Su Yu chose a watch.

Su Yu is not the kind of person who buys two watches of different styles and then switches them. She doesn't pay much attention to dressing.In her opinion, one watch is enough, and it doesn't matter what style it is, so if she has a watch, she will of course choose to buy a watch for Liu Shan.

Although she and Liu Shan fell in love and got married for a better life, she also really likes Liu Shan.What's more, in a patriarchal family, she has an unspeakable gap with her parents and brothers.Now that she is going to marry Liu Shan, she and Liu Shan will become a family closer than her parents in the future. How could she not love her husband and treat him well?

Liu Shan’s family didn’t sell anything either. Liu Shan’s parents got a sewing ticket, bought a sewing machine and put it in Liu Shan and Su Yu’s new house.In addition, I found a carpenter to build a new wardrobe, and bought two new quilts, a pair of pillows, a pair of enamel cups, a pair of kettles, a pair of washbasins, and a mirror.Of course, there is also a bride price of 66 yuan.

The new house is also decorated with bright red and beaming.This time Liu Shan got married, and the family really added a lot of things.

On the day when the wine was set up, Su Yu wore a red coat that was likely to be new, carrying a radio, a men's watch, and her own luggage, and married Liu Shan's family from the educated youth compound in an ox cart.

The villagers who came to the wedding banquet were all envious of the dowry brought by Su Yu.

For girls who get married in the village, the natal family is mean, so they make a new dress and let the daughter get married.People who feel sorry for their daughters can at most add some food, or a dowry of 20 yuan or 30 yuan.

Occasionally, a wealthy family in the village is willing to give a dowry of 50 yuan to a married daughter, which is a big deal.

But how can 50 yuan compare with watches and radios? We must know that the latter not only need money, but also need various bills to buy.It is easy for workers in the city to get all kinds of tickets, but it is difficult for farmers in the countryside to get them.

For example, with the wealth of Liu Shan's family, even those who struggled to get a sewing ticket could only get one.

Father Liu and mother Liu really wanted to get a bicycle for Liu Shan, not to mention the convenience of travel, and it was very honorable for Liu Shan to ride a bicycle to pick up the bride when they got married.

But his family is rich, but they can't get a bicycle ticket, so naturally they can't buy a bicycle, so they can only give up.

Father Liu and mother Liu also became proud when they saw the dowry brought by their daughter-in-law.

In fact, during this period of time, many gossip women in the village whispered in Liu Ma's ear, saying that Su Yu was bad, that was bad, that she couldn't do anything, that she didn't have enough food, and that her natal parents used to subsidize her. Can her natal family continue to subsidize her after she gets married?That is impossible.Then Su Yu would have to rely entirely on Liu Shan to support him.It is said that what is the use of marrying such a daughter-in-law?

Liu Ma has accepted the fact that Su Yu can't do it, but Su Yu also has advantages, for example, she is from the city, she is an educated youth who graduated from high school, she is good at cooking, and she is fairer than girls in the village. Looks good and so on.

But even so, Mama Liu was quite upset when people kept whispering in her ears that Su Yu was not good.

Now the daughter-in-law's dowry has overwhelmed these gossips all at once, and the village women are only concerned with shock and envy, forgetting all the bad things they said about Su Yu.

Mama Liu felt complacent, and she was even more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.

In fact, in the city, Su Yu's dowry is not shocking.Although this is considered a good dowry in the city, some wealthy families in the city, or those who love their daughters, will also prepare a similar dowry.Wealthy families, such as Su Yu's sister-in-law's natal family, will also prepare a complete "three turns and one ring".Workers in the city have a fixed salary and are paid monthly. After a few years of accumulation, it is not very difficult to accumulate such a dowry for their daughter.

But the villagers in the countryside only have food distributed to their homes throughout the year. If they want to buy some daily necessities such as oil, salt, soy sauce and vinegar, they have to go to the city to exchange food for money.So for country people, watches and radios are complete luxuries.

After Liu Shan and Su Yu got married, they found the captain and gave Su Yu a job where he didn't have to farm.Ask Su Yu to hunt pigweed to feed the pigs.This is a relatively easy job, and there are only three work points per day, which is similar to the work points Su Yu got in the past.

Su Yu is also responsible for three meals a day at home, as well as some simple housework such as feeding chickens and cleaning.In short, it is much easier than farming.

The happiest time for a family is when they are listening to the radio while having dinner.

Compared with Liu Shan and Su Yu's young couple who like to listen to news programs, Liu's father and Liu's mother are more addicted to the radio, because every night, there will be serial storytelling programs on the radio, either the story of Yue Fei's fight against gold, or The story of the Yang family generals fighting and so on.The Liu family's parents were so fascinated by it that they couldn't do it without listening for a day.
