Chapter 374 Arrangements for Cheap Sister

Author: Hometown Three Thousand Miles

The dinner is quite sumptuous - for a rural family.

It was neither a New Year nor a festival, just to entertain Yan Xin, a wanderer returning home, with chicken, fish and meat. This is called super-standard treatment. Normally, children returning home would not enjoy such a sumptuous reception.

Of course, the main reason is that Yan Xin can make money and is willing to spend money on his family.

Judging from the information revealed, Yan Xin is definitely not the richest person in the village, but their house is the most beautiful, bar none.

And it is said that the house was built with borrowed money.

I work outside, and the only one left in my hometown is his father, so this house was mainly built for his father.

There are too few people in rural areas who have this kind of heart.

Just because of this filial piety, I can enjoy such treatment.

Of course, in fact Yan Xin's wealth exceeds what he revealed by hundreds of times.

He said that he was in debt to build a house, mainly because he was afraid that revealing his wealth would cause some trouble.

But now he was afraid that saying that his family owed money would make Wu Xiuhong unwilling to live with his father, so he reported the good news to his father during dinner:

"I have paid off all the money I owed for building the house, and now I have no debt!"

"Great!" This news made Yan's father very happy. "This way, all the money you earn in the future can be saved. You are already twenty years old this year, and you will get married in two years. It is time to save money to get a wife."

.”

The cost of marriage in rural areas is now very high. He had inquired about it two years ago and was frightened.

The price of the betrothal gift is relatively high, and there are various requirements besides the betrothal gift.

Not to mention all the messy expenses, there was another requirement that made him feel hopeless even thinking about it - building a building!

Anyway, with my own ability, there is no way to help my son save enough money to marry a wife.

But now the house at home has been built, and it is the most beautiful house in the village. Moreover, my son can earn more than 10,000 yuan a month. If he saves money, there is still more than a year left. How can he save more than 100,000 yuan?

Then you can marry a good wife.

Wu Xiuhong's current identity is just a guest, so it's hard to say much, but it can be seen that she is quite happy.

The one who seemed the happiest was Bai Xiaoling, who toasted Yan Xin with a glass of Coke: "Brother, you are really amazing! You built such a beautiful house in just two years. It would be great if I had your ability.

.”

Yan Xin smiled and said: "If you really want to make money, you can find a formal vocational training college to learn a skill. With the skill, you will definitely be able to make money in the future."

Bai Xiaoling said "uh" and said: "I will consider it, but our parents are not married yet, so I have to wait until things are done before I consider this."

Seeing this, I still don’t want to learn technology.

Can't blame her.

Studying in high school for three years was too hard. Now the thought of studying gives me a headache. I would rather suffer some pain and work in a factory than study again.

In her mind, she is a loser with no learning ability. She will not learn much knowledge in a vocational training school and will only waste her family's money.

When people suffer, they still have to bear a layer of guilt.

It would be better not to study.

Of course she knew that the advice given by Yan Xin was correct, but she felt that her IQ was not worthy of such correct advice.

As soon as Yan Xin saw her expression, he knew that she was disapproving of his proposal, so he smiled and said nothing more.

No matter what kind of girl this girl is, since she has become his cheap sister and a family member, with his ability, he will not let her suffer no matter what.

You won't get used to it. He didn't want to raise a giant baby. It would only harm others and bring trouble to himself.

But when it's time to support, you can still support, such as arranging a job.

When the topic of marriage comes up, both Yan's father and Wu Xiuhong are a little embarrassed - discussing the issue of remarriage in front of their children feels quite complicated, and even a little embarrassing. They feel that they are not living a decent life.

At such an old age, I still want to get married.

However, Bai Xiaoling did not feel embarrassed. Instead, she discussed with Yan Xin the matter of their parents forming a family with great interest.

Under her leadership, the two elders also slowly joined in.

Everyone has a consensus that the two families have come together to become a new family.

Both of them live an honest life, and both have suffered for several years. They know what it is like to live alone. If they meet such a person who can go on, they don't want to miss it.

They have already agreed to get married at the end of the year.

The reason why I chose to get married at the end of the year was because Wu Xiuhong still had some involvement, and the house and land had to be given to her former husband's cousin.

This is also a concession made to avoid some trouble. If you insist on your own house and land, others cannot take it away, but it will cause some trouble and is unnecessary.

The Yan family has no influence in this village and cannot cause trouble.

Now that all the grain grown in the fields has been harvested, the grain has been transported to Yan Xin's house.

But there are still two or three acres of cotton that have not been picked. We have to wait until all the cotton in the field is picked before the end of the field is processed.

At that time, all the movable things in the house can be moved over, and the house and land will be given to the Bai brothers.

How they divide it is their business and they don't need to take care of it.

If you follow Yan Xin's thinking, you don't have much money anyway, so you might as well not care about that. Get rid of the evidence now and finish the matter earlier to avoid long nights and nightmares.

But he didn't say that.

I have been poor myself and know how poor people think.

Although he didn't care about the money for the cotton, for Wu Xiuhong, it was what she had worked so hard to grow. Now that it was harvest time, she was obviously reluctant to give up.

And that money is money she earned herself, money she can spend without having to beg others to give it in a low voice.

This money is spent with more dignity.

No matter how rich the stepson is, what does it have to do with her as a stepmother?

You are only in your forties, you have hands and feet, you can't let other people's children support you, right?

Just like Yan Xin doesn't want his dad to work hard for that little money, but he still has to respect his dad's idea of ​​making money on his own.

If someone wants to harvest a little bit of cotton, then they have to respect their wishes.

It will probably take until the eleventh month of the lunar calendar for the cotton in the fields to be almost harvested.

But even if there were unfinished pickings at that time, there wouldn't be much left, and some were still very difficult to pick, so they can be ignored.

In other words, if they want to get married, they will have to wait until after the eleventh month of the lunar calendar.

Because they are all second marriages, there will be no wedding banquet. They will just provide a certificate and then invite a few of their closest relatives to have a meal at home. No gifts will be accepted, and the matter is considered completed.

Yan Xin heard what they said and made a promise that he would definitely come when the time comes.

For such an important thing as forming a new family, of course he, the son, must be present.

Otherwise, in the minds of outsiders, it will seem as if they reject this kind of marriage, and parents in the future will inevitably be criticized by others.

Bai Xiaoling was still there enthusiastically proposing to hold a grand wedding in the county town and take wedding photos, etc., but her mother scolded her and told her that she was just thinking wildly.

Nowadays, some people in rural areas who are more particular about weddings go to county hotels to hold weddings. Taking wedding photos is even more standard for young people getting married.

But those who are getting married for the second time don’t do that. At least in their village, no one who is getting married for the second time has to hold a wedding and take wedding photos.

Bai Xiaoling made such a suggestion. In Wu Xiuhong's view, it was a defrauding of other people's money, setting up obstacles for the marriage, and giving her family a bad image of vanity.

She really wanted to live with this family, but she didn't want to be looked down upon.

These are things that no one else can say, but she can still say them.

After being scolded, Bai Xiaoling became disgraced and very depressed. She turned around and complained to Yan Xin: "Brother, look at our mother, she gives me such a look every day. When they get married, I won't want to stay here even for a day."

I'm stunned, I'll go to Yangcheng to join you."

Yan Xin said: "I don't have a suitable job for you at the moment. I can ask Feng Xi to arrange a job for you. She promised me that as long as you are willing, you can go to her place to do sales and customer service."

Bai Xiaoling shook her head vigorously: "I'm not familiar with her, and I've never worked in customer service. I'm afraid she will dislike me and make you lose face. Brother, just take me to Yangcheng. I can't eat it."

No matter how much, it won’t be a burden to you.”

"Stop pestering him. He said there is no job suitable for you." Wu Xiuhong couldn't stand it and said.

Bai Xiaoling said: "I can endure hardship. I can do any job, including working in a factory, as long as I can make money."

"But without skills, factory wages are generally not high. After deducting food and accommodation, it is not bad to earn a few hundred yuan a month." Yan Xin said.

"It's okay to earn a few hundred yuan a month," Bai Xiaoling said. "I don't even have a few dozen yuan a month as pocket money at home."

As she spoke, she glanced at her mother with resentment.

Wu Xiuhong: "What do you think I'm doing? You can't make money yourself, and I don't have any money either. Where can I change it for you?"

"You obviously have money, you still have several thousand yuan, and you have saved it in the postal service." Bai Xiaoling said.

Several thousand yuan, in her opinion, is a lot of money.
