Chapter 57: Sewing Machine for Dowry
Luo Haiying entered the house directly without even shouting her sister-in-law. Her eyes looked around the room and envied her. She knew it was right, especially when she saw the sewing machine that had just been opened on the ground, she felt more and more that these were right.
Zhang Guilan put Luo Haiying's bag on the chair and said it was a bag. In fact, it was just a piece of cloth wrapped a few clothes or things to use. No matter how much she didn't like this sister-in-law, she knew that she could not show it first. She turned around and poured a glass of water into the kitchen
"Drink some water first? How are your parents? Why didn't you block the telegram in advance so that your brother could pick you up?
Luo Haiying took the message and was not in a hurry. She took a few sips first. It was like a big leader. Zhang Guilan also knew that it was useless to coax her. She all said that her daughter-in-law, mother-in-law and sister-in-law were natural enemies. She finally understood the truth. She simply The upper of the shoe is pasted and wrinkled. It needs to be smoothed out.
Luo Haiying looked at Zhang Guilan from the corners of her eyes and saw that the black sweater she was wearing twisted her face unhappily. Sure enough, the eldest brother was biased and asked Zhang Guilan to come to the city to enjoy happiness. He had never bought a sweater for his sister.
Luo Haiying's unhappiness is shown on her face. Zhang Guilan has a panoramic view, but she doesn't know that she is the same age as Luo Haiying, and both of them are eighteen. If she doesn't live this life again, she is really not as good as Luo Haiying in terms of stability, but in the face of
"When will my brother come back? Didn't Milan come to run for my brother? Why didn't you see anyone? Luo Haiying answered the question.
This attitude was not in the eyes of Zhang Guilan. It was like this in my last life. When the two families were engaged in the village, Zhang Guilan and Luo Haiying didn't like each other, and no one looked down on each other. When they met each other in the village, they all raised their chin and left. Half of their eyes looked Luo Jijun left the next day, leaving only Zhang Guilan in the Luo family to face the Luo family. Zhang Guilan looked down on Milan because of the confrontation between Milan and Luo Jijun. When he saw Luo Haiying mixing with Milan every day, he looked down on Luo Haiying. If it hadn't been for Luo's father in front of him, I'm
Seeing Luo Haiying's attitude in his life, he can't arouse Zhang Guilan's dissatisfaction at all. Anyway, he is a person who doesn't care. "Your brother found someone to arrange a job for Milan. Now he works in the Women's Federation. Now the probation period is 20 yuan a month, and one is 30 yuan a She told me to eat two meals of braised pork and two meals of fish a week, and the food was good.
Zhang Guilan stopped laughing and said, "Milan's life is so good to find such a good job."
She didn't believe that Luo Haiying would not be jealous after hearing it. Compared with Milan, Luo Haiying was Luo Jijun's own sister. Such a good job was not given to her own sister, but to outsiders. Whoever listened to it would mutter in his heart.
Luo Haiying was jealous and refused to let Zhang Guilan see it. She looked light. "It's really a good job, but Milan graduated from junior high school. She is the only one in our village with such a high culture, and it is reasonable to find such a good job."
Zhang Guilan smiled and agreed, "No, so this man, regardless of men and women, must be educated."
Knowing that Luo Haiying was uneducated, Zhang Guilan was not annoyed. This was originally a fact, but she would have quarreled with Luo Haiying in her last life, and the end result was that she was humiliated without any dignity.
Luo Haiying was stunned by Zhang Guilan's attitude. She took a special look at Zhang Guilan. She didn't feel that Zhang Guilan had changed her personality after coming to the city for a few months. She must have other intentions, and she was also wary.
But looking at Zhang Guilan proudly, Luo Haiying felt uncomfortable. Finally, he looked at the cardboard box opened on the ground and said, "Is this sewing machine newly bought? It costs a lot of money, right? My brother used to mail 20 yuan to his family when he opened 30 yuan a month. No wonder he doesn't mail a penny now. He buys a family property here.
This is very sour. I know that she is Luo Jijun's sister. If I don't know, I think she is Luo Jijun's daughter-in-law.
Zhang Guilan didn't raise her eyelids and brushed her hand over the upper of the shoe. "Your brother now opens 35 yuan a month, and the team gives out 20 catties of rice every month. When I didn't come over, your brother didn't reserve the autumn vegetables he ate in winter. Now he eats some vegetables at home, and
Zhang Guilan just said that she bought the sewing machine.
"I have been saying in the letter that he ate in the army, but the food distributed by the team can't be saved. Of course, there is no need to reserve vegetables to eat in winter at home." Luo Haiying doesn't believe Zhang Guilan's words. She doesn't know that Zhang Guilan can still make money?
While accusing Luo Jijun of not being rich now, it is all because of Zhang Guilan.
"It's getting late. You go to cook. If you're tired, go to ** and lie down first." Zhang Guilan got up with the finished upper and went to the east room and put the things in the cupboard.
When he came out of the room, he saw that Luo Haiying had squatted next to the sewing machine and touched the sewing machine with a happy face, as if it was her baby. Zhang Guilan was not happy and turned into the kitchen. Anyway, it was her own, so she could touch it a few times and let her grab it.
There will be a party at home tomorrow, and it's Zhang Guilan's birthday, so she just wanted to make something simple to eat tonight. She didn't expect Luo Haiying to come, so she couldn't fool around. She cut the five catties of meat she bought for about one catties and cut half a cabbage. There were less than five Four catties, Zhang Guilan plans to make noodles tomorrow. After calculating, he took out four bowls and it will be enough for tomorrow. He made four bowls of noodles and cabbage dumplings in the evening.
When Luo Jijun opened the door with the key, he heard the sound of cutting the stuffing. His depressed mood for a day was gone, and he raised the corners of his lips, "Why are you full of dumplings today?"
As a result, as soon as I looked up, I saw Luo Haiying in the living room. I was stunned for a moment, and then I regained my usual indifference. "Haiying is here."
But it can be seen from his eyes that he is happy.
Since he became a soldier, he seldom goes home, and there are few vacations every year. Only the time he gets married is a little more, and he can spend more time with his family.
"Brother, you're back." Luo Haiying jumped into Luo Jijun's arms happily, "If I don't come, you don't know how to go back. You almost forgot my sister."
"Nonsense." Luo Jijun shouted angrily, and his eyes were full of indulgence, "You haven't gone out since you were a child. How can your parents rest assured that you come here by yourself? Don't give me a report in advance. What if something happens? What a nonsense."
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Jijun regretted and glanced at the corners of his eyes in the kitchen. After he finished his army, his daughter-in-law came by car alone. He had no time to pick up people up after training outside. His daughter-in-law was the same age as his sister and cared about his sister, but he
Luo Haiying didn't think about this. He just talked to his brother, "Brother, I'm eighteen years old. Where can't I leave? What's there to worry about? My parents are still relieved. You have a lot of things to do."
Being stared at by Luo Jijun, Luo Haiying spit out her tongue and changed the topic, "Brother, Milan is really looking for you? I knew that she was coming to you. At the beginning, she sneaked away. When the family found it, she was worried. It was still my uncle and aunt who I went to comfort them and told them not to worry first. Later, when I received your letter, I told them that they were relieved. She is working in the city now. Where does she live? Do you have a phone? Tell her that I'm here, and she must be happy.
Every time Luo Haiying said something, Luo Jijun's heart sank and thumped, for fear that his daughter-in-law in the kitchen would be angry. At the beginning, Milan came secretly. After he asked, he sent a telegram to his family. He had never told his daughter-in-law about it, but now he was
Seeing that his brother was absent-minded, Luo Haiying pulled the corner of the other party's clothes angrily, "Brother, I told you, did you hear it? Are you not happy that I will come? If you are not happy, I will go back. It is in the eyes of others. Even if you don't welcome me, I will go back.
"How do you get angry when you say it? I was just thinking about it." Luo Jijun didn't mention Milan. After the fight, his clothes and hat never hung up. He pulled away his sister's hand and said, "I'm going to Beijing for training in a while. How long will you stay here?"
"Training? How long will it take?" Luo Haiying followed people into the study. Seeing that there was only a bed except for the bookcase, he withdrew his eyes and said, "I just left when I came, so what should I do?"
Luo Jijun closed the door casually before he asked, "Is there something wrong at home?"
Over the years, Luo Jijun has changed to Mandarin for a long time.
Luo Haiying also sat down by the bed, "It's nothing. It's just that I'm going to get engaged. I can't come out when I get married, so I'll come out to see the world now."
"The talent of the village?" Luo Jijun knew something about it. The last time he went back, he heard from his parents that he was going to marry the village head's family. Now his sister is also eighteen years old, and it's not too early.
Luo Haiying rarely showed a shy side and said, "In June this year, my parents asked me to tell you to ask you to ask for leave in advance."
Before Luo Jijun could speak, Luo Haiying said again, "Brother, I think your house has bought a new sewing machine. Give it as a dowry for me. The money you sent home in the past few years, and you haven't saved anything after building the house."
"Sewing machine?" When Luo Jijun saw his sister, he didn't pay attention to anything else, so he naturally didn't see the sewing machine.
"Well, I only opened the box, and the sewing machine hasn't been installed yet. Brother, you can pack it directly and take it away when I leave." Luo Haiying really likes this sewing machine. If she takes it back, she will be the first one in the village to use the sewing machine. Besides, she doesn't want to make Zhang Guilan happy.
That kind of woman is not worthy of the eldest brother. If it weren't for the kindness of her family, the eldest brother wouldn't have married her. It made Milan wronged. Why did Zhang Guilan occupy all the good things now? There was nothing she could do when she didn't come, but now that he came, he didn't let her
I'm married, so I don't believe that the eldest brother is reluctant to give up a sewing machine. Luo Haiying really wants to see Zhang Guilan's angry face after knowing it. As soon as she entered the room and saw Zhang Guilan's pretentious appearance, she felt uncomfortable. RS
