The second day of the first lunar month is a traditional day for sons-in-law with hairy feet in Vietnam to go to their mother-in-law’s home.

Early in the morning, the silly elder sister was preparing big bags and small bags. She prepared all kinds of pastries, candies and old wines, for fear of losing her courtesy.

Chen Qi slept soundly, and he was uneasy during the holiday. After a 10-hour major operation, he was so exhausted that he just wanted to sleep for a whole day in the past two days.

Chen Qi is not in a hurry, the silly elder sister is in a hurry:

"Don't sleep, don't sleep, get up quickly, today is the day to go to Lijuan's house, let's start early for such a long journey."

From the urban area to Dongqiao Commune, it took less than half a day to get there. Chen Qi missed his past life very much. At that time, he could drive a private car and get there in an hour at most. In the 1980s, it took at least 4 hours to transfer and walk.

Chen Qi looked out the window, and it was dull and bright. On the morning of the second day of junior high school, even the children who set off firecrackers didn't get up.

The Chen family is preparing, and the Lan family is also preparing.

Under Lan Lijuan's strong opposition and the little girl's own 200 yuan, Shi Atiao finally moved the pigsty out of the room and built a pig shed next to it.

Now the pungent smell in the room is gone, and the possibility of some traditional diseases has also been eliminated.

Although the small broken building is still the same small broken building, the living standard of the Lan family has been greatly improved now. The little sister of the Lan family has a monthly income of 50 yuan, except for the 5 yuan she keeps for herself, and the rest is handed over.

Shi Atiao was satisfied now, so she didn't embarrass her eldest daughter anymore, so Lan Lijuan didn't want half of the salary she promised to her family.

Now that the two families were ready to get married, Shi Atiao also began to think about the eldest daughter. If she really took half of the salary, it might make her daughter unable to hold her head high in front of the Chen family.

Although the rural woman is short-sighted, she also has her own shrewdness. She knows in her heart that as long as the big tree of the Chen family is firmly planted, her youngest son's future will not be worrying at all.

So today when the "new son-in-law" came to the door, Shi Atiao became very enthusiastic. He bought chicken, duck and fish early on, prepared melon seeds and snacks, and waited for Chen Qi to come to the door.

Lan Lijuan went downstairs to look around, and was very satisfied when she saw how active her mother was busy.

Who doesn't want their marriage to be blessed by their parents?

Near noon, the fourth sibling of the Chen family finally arrived at Lianzhong Village.

Chen Qi was wearing a new navy blue Chinese tunic suit, with a pen pinned to his jacket pocket, and a pair of newly bought leather shoes on his feet. The price was 25 yuan, which was almost half a month's salary.

At first glance, it was the typical dress of a cadre, and the silly elder sister was very satisfied.

Of course, only Chen Qi knows whether it's cold or not. This is the end of demeanor but not temperature.

As soon as the Chen family brothers and sisters appeared in Lianzhong Village with gifts, the village became a sensation. Chen Qi was dressed like a successful person, plus he was tall and handsome, making countless rural people envious.

In 1983, the identity of a worker was still very precious, and the rank of a cadre was even more admired by the mountains.

Chen Qi has been to Lianzhong Village several times, so he is more or less familiar, so he smokes all the way there, while the silly elder sister is stuffing fruit candies for the children, which arouses great affection from the villagers.

When they arrived at the gate of Lan's house, several of Lan Lijuan's uncles had already set off firecrackers, using the highest etiquette to welcome the new son-in-law.

"A Tiao, you are so lucky, your son-in-law is so handsome."

"Let me tell you, not only is he handsome, he is now a cadre, and I heard that he is the vice president of the hospital."

"Oh, such a young cadre, this Lan family can be considered to have made it through."

"Let me tell you, I still need to study more. What do you think Lijuan is doing? Now she is a doctor and she is good-looking. She will definitely be a cadre in the future."

Listening to the discussions of neighbors and sisters-in-law, Shi Atiao's vanity was greatly satisfied.

The sons-in-law of other people's families are all from rural areas, and her own son-in-law is a cadre, which is unique in Lianzhong Village, which made the smile on her face even bigger.

"Chen Qi is here? Oh, Xiaoqin, Xiaoshu, and Xiaohua are also here, please come inside."

"Mother-in-law, happy new year, our whole family is here to wish you and grandma a new year, ha ha."

"Come on, come here, and bring so many things, really..."

Shi Atiao said "complaining", with a smile like a chrysanthemum on his face, and deliberately exposed the outer packaging of the gift, to show everyone that it is a brand-name product in the city, not the bulk of the supply and marketing agency wrapped in straw paper Get up the big street.

The villagers sighed again.

Here, the silly elder sister and Lan's mother are doing business and bragging to each other, and they are very polite.

When Lan Lijuan saw her boyfriend coming, she was also full of joy. She was wearing a new padded jacket and turned around to show Chen Qi:

"How about it, doesn't this padded jacket look good? But it cost me a lot of money."

Chen Qi curled his lips in distaste: "Why is it dark blue? It's too earthy. You should make it red. Red is so festive. You look so good-looking, so you'll look even prettier when you wear it."

"Fart, red is so exaggerated, how do you wear it at work in the future? I'm not someone's newlywed daughter-in-law."

"Who says she's not a daughter-in-law? You see, my eldest sister is here today. It's clear that she's coming to propose marriage. I'll try to let you celebrate Mother's Day next year."

Lan Lijuan blushed when she heard this, she knew it was an established fact, but she still felt ashamed to say it.

Chen Hua went chatting with Lan Lihong, Xiaohong was helping Chen's family, and the two girls had known each other for a long time and became best friends.

As for Chen Shu, as soon as he took out the firecrackers, he immediately became buddies with Lan Guoping, the youngest brother of the Lan family.

Chen Qi walked into Lan's house, and as soon as she was seated, Grandma Lan came over with "sugar water eggs". In sugar water.

Eggs and sugar water, this is the highest treatment for hospitality in the 1970s and 1980s when supplies were scarce.

"Xiaoqi, his elder sister, younger brother and younger sister, come on, the journey is hard, let's have some snacks~~~"

Chen Qi took it politely, saw that there were 8 whole eggs in the big sea bowl, sweat broke out all at once, and looked at his girlfriend as if asking for help.

Lan Lijuan had a smirk on her face: "Eat quickly, there are still enough in the pot. Grandma has prepared 10 for you."

Chen Qi's face collapsed when he heard that, so he could only eat it sullenly. This kind of sugar water egg tastes good after eating one, barely enough after eating two, hiccups after eating three, and full after eating four.

Eat 8 in one go, good guy, he will have nothing to do with the table full of fish and meat at noon.

Watching Chen Qi straighten his neck from time to time while eating eggs, trying to make the sugar-watered eggs go down, made the neighbors and relatives who were watching burst into laughter.

Shi Atiao smiled especially brightly.
