He Yuzhu wasn't the only one who didn't work overtime today. First Uncle, Second Uncle, Xu Damao, Jia Gan, and the others didn't work overtime either.
Because Xu Damao was holding a wedding banquet today, the people in the courtyard house did not work overtime.
Of course, not everyone could work overtime.
Other than the rolling mill, the other units rarely worked overtime.
The rolling mill was too important to the country because it produced the world's number one steel. Only when the machines were resting could people rest.
There were even workshop directors who suggested that the rolling mill would have two shifts in the future. The day shift would be from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m., and the night shift would be from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. Because the machines could not work all the time, there would be workers who would take advantage of it. However, the day shift and night shift could be switched constantly. One month, you would take advantage, and the next month, it would be me, so no one would suffer.
However, this was only a suggestion and had not been implemented yet. Even if the factory manager agreed, the higher-ups would have to agree.
Not only the rolling mill, but any factory in the country was not something that the factory manager could do as he pleased. A major event like the two-shift system had to be approved by the higher-ups before it could be implemented.
In the courtyard outside Xu Damao's house, tables were set up.
He Yuzhu was cooking personally.
As for the coarse grain pancakes and sweet potato porridge, He Yuzhu did not need to make them.
What was that? Fine grain? The cost of using fine grain for a wedding banquet was high.
It was good enough to fill one's stomach these days. As for fine grains, meat, and eggs, they were usually only eaten during the holidays. They could not eat as much as they wanted.
Father Xu and Mother Xu didn't look too good. It was obvious that they were dissatisfied with their daughter-in-law.
This was normal. It would be strange if Father Xu and Mother Xu were happy that their son married an old widow.
If it weren't for Widow Ma's pregnancy certificate and the ruckus, Father Xu and Mother Xu wouldn't have agreed no matter what.
"Old Xu, don't be angry. Ma Cuihua is pregnant with our eldest grandson. Da Mao's health is not good, and he may not have children in the future.”Mother Xu was quite open-minded.
It was easier to accept the positive side.
In Mother Xu's opinion, if her son did not have children in the future, Ma Cuihua going to abort the child would make her son lose his family.
In fact, there were many people who married widows these days, but they were mostly in the countryside. There were very few in the city.
Although having a child made Xu Damao happy, he still felt wronged because he had to marry Widow Ma.
Widow Ma was very happy.
After her husband's death, Widow Ma also received financial support from several men. Xu Damao was just one of them. Otherwise, she would not have been able to get an abortion as soon as she became a widow. If it was not for someone instigating her, she really did not dare to go to the hospital to find an acquaintance to write a fake certificate to lie to Xu Damao.
However, being able to marry into the city, Widow Ma was secretly happy at night.
Xu Damao's conditions also satisfied Widow Ma.
At this moment, Jia Zhangshi came with the dishes.
There were only three tables in total, and they were all filled with people.
It was worth mentioning that Widow Ma's two sons were also brought over.
Originally, Widow Ma had planned to pick up her son after the wedding banquet, but after thinking about it, it would be a loss if she did not let her son eat so many good dishes at the wedding banquet, so she let Xu Damao pick up her son.
Therefore, he felt as if he had eaten a fly in his heart. However, Xu Damao still went to Ma Family Village to pick up Widow Ma's two sons.
The two little ingrates did not give Xu Damao a good look.
In the beginning, the two little ingrates did not agree to their mother marrying Xu Damao, and it was Widow Ma who persuaded the two sons.
It had to be said that Widow Ma was quite good at educating her child. Although the child was an ingrate, she listened to her mother.
This time, the Jia family was too polite, so Jia Zhangshi took the initiative to help, such as serving the dishes. As for whether she had eaten it secretly, she knew it herself.
There were many types of dishes, including meat and vegetables. Everyone was very satisfied.
When the dishes were almost served, He Yuzhu also came to toast Xu Damao and his wife.
"Damao, you're still the best. You're getting married and having a child together.”After saying that, He Yuzhu drank the wine in his glass in one gulp.
Although he still felt wronged, Xu Damao's mood improved a little.
Patting Xu Damao's shoulder, He Yuzhu said,""Don't look so wronged. You've earned it. You have three children all at once. Although two of them are not biological, don't you have to call you father in the future? How can I not give you a pension when you're older?"
He Yuzhu's voice wasn't soft. Jia Zhangshi, an auntie, and Third Uncle all heard it.
"Yes, Zhu Zi is right. You, Xu Damao, have earned a lot.”Third Uncle said with a smile.
"I think Cui Hua is easy to give birth to. In the future, she might be able to give birth to a few more for Da Mao.”Jia Zhangshi said.
"Da Mao, live well with Cui Hua.”a middle-aged woman said.
Under the comfort of He Yuzhu and the others, Xu Damao's mood improved.
Next, Xu Damao brought Ma Cuihua to toast them one by one.
He Yuzhu drank two cups and went to cook again.
By the time He Yuzhu was done, everyone was almost done eating.
This time, even Xu Damao had to admit that He Yuzhu was very nice.
Originally, Xu Damao wanted to give He Yuzhu 10 yuan. He Yuzhu did not take 1 cent, so it was equivalent to giving 10 yuan as a gift.
Even the first uncle only gave him 1 yuan.
Ma Cuihua's two sons could eat a lot, and they both picked meat dishes to eat. They were really half-grown kids, but their fathers starved to death.
In addition to eating, Ma Cuihua's two sons were also mischievous. In the countryside, they often climbed trees to pick up bird eggs, stole sweet potatoes, and went into the river to fish.
……
After eating Xu Damao's wedding banquet, everyone went back to their own homes.
The night was silent.
Early in the morning, He Yuzhu and Qin Huairu went to work at the factory. He Yuzhu was on holiday today, so she could stay at home to take care of the children.
Xu Damao also went to work. Ma Cuihua and her two sons were at home.
Because she wanted to build a good relationship with the He family, Ma Cuihua took the initiative to show her goodwill. Seeing that He Yushui was a little clumsy at home raising the child, she came over to teach him.
He Yushui had always been simple-minded. Ma Cuihua had taught her a lot of things to pay attention to when raising children, so she had a good impression of Ma Cuihua and felt that she was a good person.
"Sister Cuihua, you're a good person. It's a bit of a loss to marry Xu Damao.”He Yushui said. Looking at her serious expression, it was obvious that she was speaking from the bottom of her heart.
“？”Ma Cuihua was a little confused. She even suspected that there was something wrong with He Shuiyu's brain.
With Xu Damao's conditions, he could easily find a beautiful girl from the countryside.
In Ma Village alone, there were many young ladies who wanted to marry into the city. If they could marry Xu Damao, they would be overjoyed.
After interacting with He Yushui for a long time, Ma Cuihua realized that He Yushui's brain was fine, but she was stupid.
Just because she gave He Shuiyu a small favor, this silly girl thought she was a good person.
Ma Cuihua even thought that if she sold He Yushui, he might be able to help her earn money.
Anyway, she was someone else's sister. Therefore, the more stupid He Yushui was, the happier Ma Cuihua was. After all, she was easy to fool!
In just one afternoon, He Yushui and Ma Cuihua's relationship became very good.
If Ma Cuihua and Xu Damao had a conflict, He Yushui would definitely stand up for Ma Cuihua.
