The 80s Chronicle: Addiction To the Army’s Young Wife

After waving goodbye to the clan members in the car, Guo Yujie saw that her daughter had not left, so she stood on the curb with her and waited.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

This was the first time she went to sleep in her daughter's new house, and Guo Yujie was still very nervous.

She is a woman with old ideas. Although it is already the new millennium and women's social status is rising day by day, in her heart, her sons belong to her family, and her daughters always belong to other people's families.

So going to stay at my daughter's house made her feel uneasy.

However, her daughter has lost her father since she was a child. Guo Yujie still loves this daughter very much, no less than her son. The relationship between mother and daughter is very good. Looking at her daughter's face, her heart gradually calms down.

"I sent a text message to Guan He before. He will come to pick us up in a while. It's a bit far to walk back from here, and it's not worth taking a taxi." Yu Conghui looked at his mother's old face and her nose that soon turned red from the cold. , took off the scarf from his neck and put it around her.

Guo Yujie smiled and said: "What are you doing for me? It's so cold, just wear it yourself."

"I'm young and full of energy, you just wear it."

Guanhe came over quickly and saw his fiancée and future mother-in-law waiting here. He parked the car and hurried down to help carry things.

"Aunt, it's cold outside. Get in the car quickly." He opened the rear door, helped Guo Yujie up, and then called Yu Conghui to get in the car, "I'll come."

He put everything in the back seat, got in the car, put it in gear and headed home.

"After you sent me the text message, I prepared dinner at home. You won't be able to eat well on the way. Everything is prepared at home."

Guo Yujie is very satisfied with this son-in-law. The key is that he is really good to his daughter. As a mother, she doesn't ask for anything else. As long as the family conditions are good, she is good to her daughter, and she doesn't let her suffer injustice and starve. that's enough.

"So diligent?" Yu Conghui smiled.

Guan He nodded, "I don't know what Auntie likes to eat. Most of what I cook is what Xiaohui likes."

"What I like is also what my mother likes. We, mother and daughter, have the same taste." Yu Conghui said.

"That's good. The steamed buns are from our store. Usually the steamed buns in the store are sold out. This time I brought a few back in advance. There are no additives or swelling powder. Auntie can eat them with confidence. Stay here for a few more days. Damn it, I’ll pack some more steamed buns for you to take back before I leave, and you’ll save money on making them. It’s our own stuff and doesn’t cost any money.”

On the way, the three of them talked to each other. When they returned to the community, the community here was quite well built. It was considered one of the best in the year. The structure of the house was also good, and there was a separate parking space. Parking spaces in the later period will cost money, but at this time, they are all delivered for free. Guan He asked for two parking spaces at that time, but some people did not ask for them at all, which is considered to be more discerning.

After parking the car, the three of them carried their things into the elevator. They lived on the 16th floor. There were two apartments on one staircase, three bedrooms and two living rooms. Although the apartment was a little small, it was still very good for a family to live in.

The house was just renovated last summer, and after being empty for less than two months, the two of them moved in. Because it was a new house, the furniture and everything else were very good. They only bought two beds, and the living room was furnished with simple furnishings. Small dining tables, plastic stools, etc.

Guo Yujie looked at this and it was too simple. She felt that everything was missing at home.

Seeing the expression on his future mother-in-law's face, Guan He put the things at the entrance and said with a smile: "I wanted to decorate everything before, but Xiaohui wouldn't let me, saying that she would buy furniture and decorate it after we get married, so we'll just make do with it now. On."

Since it was her daughter who said it, Guo Yujie had no idea. She really knew her daughter, and she would definitely be able to clean up the house well on the wedding day.

Yu Conghui put the large box in his hand on the ground and said to Guan He: "This is the ultimate adult milk powder given by my cousin. There are four boxes in total. Tomorrow, I will give two boxes to my uncle and aunt together. The two families will be separated, and my cousin will give it separately." I bought two ginseng trees, and the two families were separated, and the tea leaves were also divided."

Guan He listened to his fiancee's chatter, with a smile on his face.

His wife will definitely be a filial person from now on.

She was never stingy about what she ate, but the only time she was stingy was with those sets of cosmetics. But women always love beauty. Besides, after Xiaohui used that set of cosmetics, it was obvious that the skin on her face became more beautiful. Well, he is the one who benefits, so he has no objection.

It's a good thing that your daughter-in-law is beautiful.

From now on, when I take my daughter-in-law out to have dinner with good friends, I feel happy when people say, "Oh, your wife is so beautiful."

It's better than having this wife behind his back and saying, "Oh, your wife looks older than you," right?

"Mom, sit down and rest for a while. Let's eat right away." Yu Conghui went to wash his hands, and then went out to sort out the food with Guan He.

The heating is on at home, and the room is quite warm. The stoves in the kitchen are just two simple external ones. Yu Conghui means to wait and see if there are any built-in kitchen utensils to buy in the next few days, so that the other party can Help clean up.

"Mom, please stay here for two days. Tomorrow you and I will go to the bridal dress store to have a look. I'm going to make a custom-made toast suit."

This is a big deal, and Guo Yujie will naturally not refuse.

Moreover, the woman also has to buy a set of clothes for her son-in-law. There are many rules for getting married.

It's just this once in a lifetime, and I'm willing to go through some trouble.

The next day, the in-laws of the two families met. They had a meal together at Guan's house. Knowing that Guo Yujie would stay in the city for a few days, they helped Yu Conghui prepare things for the wedding. Guan's mother also said that They are together.

To be honest, at first the elders in the Yu family said that they wanted a bride price of 60,000 yuan. Mother Guan was actually not very happy. The bride price here is really not that high. The ordinary ones are only 30,000 to 40,000 yuan. The key is Guan He owns a house and a car. It is really easy to find a girl from the city under such conditions.

However, Yu Conghui also told her in private that none of the money would be kept by the Yu family, and she would still have to take it back to her new home when the time came. It was just a formality, so Guan's mother agreed.

Anyway, their money will be left to Guan He in the future, and they will still be a young couple. Since it is just a pass, they naturally have no objection.

Unlike some families, the bride price is almost always left by the mother's family. The daughter does not get a penny when she gets married, and even if she does, it is only a fraction.

In the next few days, the two wives from the in-laws went in and out of shops in the city with Yu Conghui. First, they ordered the wedding toast clothes. The wedding company has already been found. They are currently busy, of course, with furniture and the like. Yes, everything Yu Conghui likes is good, and Guan’s mother doesn’t have a problem with it. If it’s for her son and daughter-in-law, it must be good. It’s a new house and a newlywed, so what’s wrong with using good ones? When the time comes, Guan’s family I came over with my relatives from the Yu family and saw the new house, which made me feel comfortable.

What's more, the daughter-in-law here is not stingy, and she certainly doesn't want to be a stingy mother-in-law. They have a son like Guan He, so they naturally don't want to cause trouble with her daughter-in-law.

Otherwise, the most difficult thing would be her son in the middle. She is not stupid.

The furniture that Yu Conghui is optimistic about is Huaxia's home appliances, an internationally renowned trademark. There are various discounts for purchasing a complete set of home appliances in this specialty store.

A 42-inch color TV, a double-door refrigerator, a front-loading washing machine, wall-mounted and desktop air conditioners were placed directly. There were only less than three months left before the two got married. They decided now and will get together when the time comes. It is sent to Guozhuang's home as the woman's dowry. On the day of the wedding, a special dowry car will be brought to the new house. This is decent.

Of course, I have only paid a deposit for now, because Yu Conghui is also interested in a large-capacity double-door refrigerator that was newly launched this year and is selling very well. It will take a few days to be delivered from the headquarters, so he is not in a hurry.

I just ordered all the kitchen utensils I need for my home at a kitchen utensils store, and they will install them at my door in the next few days. There is no need to transport the kitchen utensils back to my hometown, they can just be delivered directly to my new house.

Guo Yujie was dumbfounded when she saw so many high-tech home appliances.

"Mom, let me buy you a washing machine." Yu Conghui pointed to a fully automatic washing machine, "Look, didn't I just become a member? It's 15% off, and it only costs about 800 yuan. It’s not expensive either.”

"What do I need a washing machine for?" Guo Yujie refused directly, "I can still wash clothes at my age."

"Usually summer clothes are okay, they are thin and not cold, but winter clothes are not good. The clothes are thick and heavy, and it is very cold when washing clothes. It is also troublesome to boil water. Let's buy one."

Seeing this, Guan's mother also persuaded her. Guo Yujie was encouraged several times before she finally nodded and agreed.

Guozhuang also has tap water. It was installed just a few years ago. Unfortunately, it does not run every day. The water is usually drained every two days and only for half a day at a time. However, it is enough for the people of Guozhuang. Generally, every household There are two faucets, one in the kitchen and one in the yard, one for eating and one for cleaning.

But in rural areas, unlike cities, you don’t need to change clothes every day. It’s normal to wash clothes every two days. Some people wear one piece of clothing for a week, and they have to save an extra piece for washing, and no one will take it off. Washing one piece at a time is troublesome and wastes water.

Two days later, the kitchenware store came to install it. In addition to three gas stoves, there were also built-in closets, cupboards, microwaves, etc., all available.

After this busy time, Guo Yujie decided to go home.

"Mom, when you get home, you can go live in the old house by yourself!" On the way back, Guan He was driving, and Yu Conghui said to Guo Yujie, who was sitting in the back.

Guo Yujie looked a little downcast, "What happened?"

"My sister-in-law is not an honest person. My brother is filial, but my sister-in-law almost always has the final say in the family. If she is filial, I don't have a problem with it, but she has too many bad intentions, and she will completely treat you at home. I can't stand being a free labor force. If you move to an old house alone, you can eat whatever you want and cook whatever you want, and you don't have to wait on the big family from morning to night every day. Now Wen Xiao He and Wen Feng have grown up, and it’s time for you to take a rest.”

Guan He listened to his wife talking about family affairs, but he didn't interrupt.

"You also saw what my sister-in-law did during those two days in the imperial capital. Is that what a daughter-in-law should do? She has been confident all these years because she knew she could count on you. You can't be too used to it now. My brother, Wen Xiao is better, look at what that kid Wen Feng has become, he is just a social gangster."

"What are you talking about your nephew?" Guo Yujie said angrily.

"Did I make a mistake? Look at my cousin's three children, and then look at my brother's two children. The difference is clear at a glance. Morality and quality are not related to more money or less."

Guo Yujie was silent. She knew her daughter was right, but what could she do?

She is just a grandma, and her daughter-in-law is very independent. If she disciplines the two children, she may not know what she will say about her mother-in-law behind her back. Guo Yujie has such a good face, she doesn’t want to get into trouble with her daughter-in-law and show it to outsiders. joke.

"They have their days, you and Guan He just have to live a good life from now on."

Yu Conghui knew that Guo Yujie didn't want to talk about her grandchildren.

"Then when you go back this time, you still want to stay at my brother's house? Mom, you will definitely live a more comfortable life by yourself. You can talk to my sister-in-law every day and knit a sweater with the village aunt at the door. It's better than living in the house. At my brother and sister-in-law's house, cleaning the pots and tables for them is so comfortable. Why do you have to find something to do for yourself? Besides, you have worked hard all your life, and you have to serve that family when you are old? You are not tired, and you pity me. I feel sorry for you."

Guo Yujie was actually chilled because her daughter-in-law and her eldest uncle's wife teamed up to force her out a few days ago.

However, after living in her son's home for more than ten years and suddenly moving to another place, she always felt a little uneasy.

"Otherwise you come to the city. No one lives in the house next to Guanhe's parents' house. We will rent it for you and you and my mother-in-law can talk every day. Anyway, I don't trust you to still live in my sister-in-law's house. "

It is impossible to live in the city. She grew up in Guozhuang since she was a child and was married in Guozhuang. Her brothers, sisters, and nephews are all in Guozhuang. That is where her roots are. She will definitely come to the city. not used to.

I can't sleep well at night because I can't hear the barking of chickens, ducks and dogs.

"Let's discuss it after we get back." She didn't want to hurt her daughter's heart, and she knew that her daughter was doing it for her own good.

"Okay, now we are not in the old age. The son's marriage is still a burden to his parents. My brother is already in his forties or fifties. He still has the nerve to let his mother cook for him all day long. After marrying a wife, What does he do? He can't live without his parents, so he didn't want to get married in the first place."

Because she disgusted Zhang Lian, Yu Conghui couldn't stand her eldest brother now, even though Minghui had loved her sister since she was a child.

All the way back to the village, Guan He parked the car directly in front of Yu Minghui's house.

This house was originally the second-bedroom residence of the Yu family. Yu Minghui was the only son of the family, so he naturally wanted to live here after getting married. The house had six rooms, which was quite spacious in the village.

But before they got married, Guo Yujie also spent 3,000 yuan to buy an old house with three rooms in the village. Yu Conghui was still young at that time, and they definitely couldn't live with their son and daughter-in-law, but later Yu Conghui After going to technical school and no longer living at home, she moved to live with her son. It has been twelve or thirteen years now.
