"Is Qin Huairu home?"
Qin Huairu heard the commotion and walked out of the curtain. When she saw Meng Han carrying two fish, her eyes lit up." Brother Meng Han, you caught a big fish again?"”
"That's right. I don't know how to cook fish.”
Meng Han handed the fish to Qin Huairu and looked at the door curtain of the Jia residence. Damn it, Jia Zhangshi actually didn't come out today.
"Alright, when Silly Zhu comes back, I'll ask him to cook.”
Qin Huairu looked at the two fish and felt indescribably happy. Indeed, marrying Silly Zhu was better than Jia Dongxu. She was a thousand times more ferocious than Jia Dongxu at night.
"Alright then, I'll go home first. When it's done, remember to ask Silly Zhu to call me.”
Meng Han pushed his bicycle to the backyard. If Jia Zhang-shi didn't go out, he wouldn't be in the mood to show off. There was no fun staying here, so he might as well go home and drink tea.
When they arrived at the backyard, they saw the second aunt chatting with a group of aunties. Jia Zhangshi was still standing at the side, holding the soles of her shoes. Liu Guangfu, the little fatty, was rolling around on the ground, but the second aunt did not even look at him.
"Second Aunt, let me tell you, my daughter-in-law might be capable. She's just busy with work, so she hasn't gotten married yet. I heard that this time, her parents forced her to get together with my Dongxu.”
Jia Zhang-shi was still boasting. It had been an entire afternoon, and the aunties were numb from all her boasting.
The aunties were also helpless. It was not easy to move the battlefield from the middle court to the backyard. In the end, Jia Zhangshi also followed and continued to talk about her daughter-in-law who was still unknown.
"Meng Han, you're back. Did you not catch any fish today?”
When Second Aunt saw Meng Han, it was as if she had seen her savior. She quickly pulled him over and even gave him a small stool.
"Yes, I caught two big fish. I just gave them to Qin Huairu and asked Uncle Ho to cook them for her.
What are you two talking about? You've been talking for the whole afternoon.”
Meng Han was handsome and had a nice voice. He was the only talent in the courtyard, but he seemed out of place among this group of aunties. He was like a flower among ten thousand broken stones.
"What else can we talk about? We'll just talk about you young people getting married. Silly Zhu had just finished the banquet, and Xu Damao was going to hold another banquet this weekend. This money was too much.”
The second aunt was heartbroken when she said that. Her Old Liu was the meat on a rooster's head. He was an official. As the second uncle of the courtyard, he was given three yuan at Silly Pillar's wedding, just like Old Yan. No matter how much they ate, their family could not get back the money.
"It's alright. Second Aunt, who is our Second Uncle? He is now an old blacksmith in the factory and will be a veteran cadre in the future. It is a good thing for the leading cadre to give money to the comrades in the factory.
Moreover, our courtyard only gives a few yuan to the elders. The rest are just 50 cents. It's really not a loss to eat two good meals.”
Meng Han started brainwashing them. If he didn't convince them, how was he going to collect money from his marriage?
"That's true. My family is poor. When Silly Zhu got married, she only charged me 50 cents. Later on, she even asked me to pack a lot of vegetables.”
"Now that you mention it, I don't think it's a loss either. There are quite a few hard dishes, and it costs a lot of money to eat in a restaurant outside.”
"I didn't lose anything anyway.”
Jia Zhang-shi raised her head and was extremely proud. Although she only ate one meal, she didn't pay a single cent. She earned more than you.
Only the second aunt was stunned. So it was her Liu family who suffered a loss. Three yuan, how much meat could she buy?
Meng Han smiled and said," Second Aunt, look at your Tianfu. He's a big boy now. He'll probably be able to get married in a few years. By then, won't you have to take back what you've given away? So what's there to worry about?"
Besides, our second uncle's salary is high and he can afford it.”
The second aunt only smiled bitterly. Everyone knew that her Liu Guangqi was a Level 6 blacksmith and had a high salary. Who knew that in order to let her Liu Guangqi marry into a rich family, Liu Guangqi had used up all his savings.
He really didn't have much left.
Guangtian Guangfu was still young, and it would take many years before he could get the money back.
After Meng Han's brainwashing, the aunties also felt that a little bit of money was nothing. They could just treat it as spending some money to let the whole family eat in a restaurant.
Not long after, the workers in the factory came back one after another. The aunties also went home to cook.
Only Jia Zhangshi was stunned. No, why didn't anyone praise her Dongxu the whole afternoon? Did they just leave like that?
"Jia Zhang-shi, are you still not going back? If your Dongxu secretly bought some white noodles again, he will finish them all in one go. He didn't leave any for you last time.”
Meng Han's words reminded Jia Zhangshi and she quickly ran home. No one knew their son better than their mother. Her Dongxu was made from the same mold as her, so he would definitely eat secretly.
Not long after, Silly Zhu ran to the backyard.
"Hey, Silly Zhu, what are you doing in the backyard?”
Xu Damao happened to come out to fetch water and saw Silly Zhu running over happily.
"Ask Meng Han to eat. Damao, Meng Han is really good at fishing. He caught two more fish today.”
Silly Zhu thought of the two fish. He had used them to cook soup. They were fragrant and tempting.
"What? He caught two more fish?”
Xu Damao was stunned. Since when were there so many fish in the river that he could catch them every day? Why don't I try the whole fishing rod tomorrow?
"Oh right, Silly Zhu, how did I get home last night? Did I not have a bite of food?”
"Hai, Damao, you definitely didn't get to eat. It's not that I want to say this, but your alcohol tolerance is really bad. In the future, you should sit at the same table as the child.”
After laughing at Xu Damao, Silly Zhu ran to Meng Han's house happily. Before he entered, Meng Han came out and asked if the fish was ready.
"Meng Han, you really care about your meals.”
Silly Zhu pulled Meng Han away. He was the one who made the fish today, so he had to let Meng Han have a good taste.
"Hai, how can I not be concerned? I spent a lot of effort to catch this fish. Silly Zhu, let me tell you, at that time, there was a row of people fishing.
I'm the only one who can catch a fish with one shot. I'm the envy of the others.
Tell me, why am I the only one who can catch fish out of so many people? I'm not bragging, but my fishing skills can beat them by three streets.”
Meng Han said as he walked. He spoke in an awe-inspiring manner, which stunned Silly Zhu.
He had never seen such a shameless person!
Xu Damao was also stunned. However, when he thought about how shameless Meng Han had always been, he was no longer surprised. He turned around and ran home to find his mother.
"Mom, have you prepared the tickets for my wedding? I can't be compared to Silly Zhu.”
"I'm preparing. Don't you see that your father comes back so late every day? He's preparing for you.”
Mama Xu also wanted to marry Liu Lan. Old Xu secretly went to see her and said that she was a capable person who could work. Moreover, she had a job. She could finally bring some face to Old Xu's family.
During this period of time, Old Xu's family had lost a lot of face. They were counting on this daughter-in-law to be capable and gain some face in the courtyard.
"By the way, Mom, I'm married now. We can't move in, right?”
The Xu family's residence was not small, but it was a little cramped for so many people to live in.
"Don't worry, your father has already thought it through. When the time comes, we'll go to the street to apply for a wooden house next door. You can live in this big house, Qiuxiang can live in the small house, and your father and I will live in the wooden house next door.”
Mama Xu felt that if she really married a young lady, it would not be a problem for them to move back to the old residence. However, they would not move away now that they had married a second wife. After all, they had lived here for so many years.
