The second day of the first lunar month is a traditional day in central Vietnam for a hairy son-in-law to go to his mother-in-law’s house.

Early in the morning, the silly eldest sister has been preparing large and small bags, including pastries, candies, and wine, for fear of losing her etiquette.

Chen Qi slept so hard that he couldn't even rest during the holiday. After a 10-hour major surgery, he felt so exhausted that he just wanted to sleep all day.

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

"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."

It takes less than half a day to get from the city to Dongqiao Commune. Chen Qi misses his past life very much. At that time, driving a private car could reach the place in an hour at most. In the 1980s, it took at least more than 4 hours to transfer and walk.

Chen Qi looked out the window, and it was suddenly bright. On the morning of the second grade of junior high school, even the children setting 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 with the little girl spending 200 yuan herself, Shi Atiao finally moved the pig pen out of the room and built a pig shed next to it.

This will eliminate the pungent smell in the house, and at the same time eliminate the possibility of certain traditional diseases.

Although the small shabby building is still the same small shabby building, the living standard of the Lan family has been greatly improved. The younger sister of the Lan family has an income of 50 yuan a month. Except for keeping 5 yuan for herself, the rest is handed over.<

/p>

Shi A Tiao was now satisfied and stopped embarrassing his eldest daughter, so Lan Lijuan stopped giving up half of the salary she had promised to the family.

Now that the two families are ready to get married, Shi Atiao has also begun to think about his eldest daughter. If she really takes half of the salary, she will probably make her daughter unable to hold her head high in front of the Chen family.

Although rural women are short-sighted, they also have their own shrewdness. She knows in her heart that as long as the big tree of the Chen family is fastened, her little son's future will not be worried at all.

So today when the "new son-in-law" came to visit, Shi A Tiao became particularly enthusiastic. He bought chicken, duck and fish early, prepared melon seeds and snacks, and was waiting for Chen Qi to come.

Lan Lijuan went downstairs and took a look around. She was very satisfied when she saw that her mother was busy and active.

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

Near noon, the four siblings of the Chen family finally arrived at Lianzhong Village.

Chen Qi was wearing a new navy blue Mao suit, with a pen in his jacket pocket and a pair of newly bought leather shoes for 25 yuan, which was almost half a month's salary.

At first glance, it looked like the typical attire of a cadre, and the silly elder sister was extremely satisfied.

Of course, only Chen Qi knows whether he is cold or not. This is the result of wanting demeanor rather than warmth.

As soon as the Chen siblings appeared in Lianzhong Village with gifts, there was a sensation in the village. Chen Qi dressed like a successful person and was tall and handsome, making countless rural people envious.

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

Chen Qi had been to Lianzhong Village several times, and he seemed familiar to everyone, so he smoked all the way there, while the silly elder sister stuffed fruit candies for the children, which aroused great affection from the villagers.

When they arrived at the door 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.

"Ajiao, 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. I heard he is the deputy director of the health center."

"Oh, for such a young cadre, the Lan family has made it through."

"Let me tell you, you still need to study more. What's wrong with Lijuan? She's a doctor now, and she's good-looking. She will definitely become a cadre in the future."

Listening to the discussions among his neighbors and sisters-in-law, Shi A Tiao's vanity was greatly satisfied.

Other people's sons-in-law are from rural areas, and her own son-in-law is a cadre, which is unique in Lianzhong Village, and it makes the smile on her face grow even more.

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

"Mom, happy New Year. Our whole family is here to wish you and grandma a happy New Year, haha."

"Just come here, bring so many things, it's really..."

Shi A Tiao said "complaining", with a smile on his face like a chrysanthemum, and deliberately exposed the outer packaging of the gifts to show everyone that they were brand-name goods from the city, not those packaged in straw paper in bulk from the supply and marketing cooperative.

A popular commodity.

This caused the villagers to sigh again.

Sister Silly Sister and Mother Lan are exchanging business compliments here, please be polite.

Over there, Lan Lijuan was filled with joy when she saw her boyfriend coming. She was wearing a new cotton-padded jacket and turned around to show Chen Qi:

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

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

"Shit, the color red is so exaggerated, how can I wear it in the workplace? I'm not someone's newlywed daughter-in-law."

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

Lan Lijuan's face turned red after hearing this. She knew this was an established fact, but she still felt ashamed to say it.

Chen Huaze and Lan Lihong chatted together. Xiaohong was helping out at Chen's house, and the two girls had already gotten to know each other well and became besties.

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 the Lan family's house and as soon as he sat down, Grandma Lan came over with "sugar-water eggs". The method is very simple. Boil the water, shell the eggs and put them whole in the water. When they are cooked, take them out and put them in the water.

In sugar water.

It's eggs and sugar water. In the 1970s and 1980s when supplies were scarce, this was the highest treatment for guests.

"Xiao Qi, his eldest sister, younger brother and younger sister, come here, you have had a hard time on the road, let's have some snacks~~~"

Chen Qi took it politely, and when he saw eight eggs in the bowl, he broke out in sweat and looked at his girlfriend as if asking for help.

Lan Lijuan had a bad smile on her face: "Eat quickly, there won't be enough left in the pot. Grandma has prepared 10 more for you."

Chen Qi's face collapsed when he heard this, and he could only start eating. One of these sugar-watered eggs tastes good, but he can barely survive after eating two. After eating three, he started to hiccup, and after eating four, he felt full.

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

When watching Chen Qi eat eggs, he would straighten his neck from time to time and try hard to swallow the sugar-watered eggs, which made the neighbors and relatives who were watching burst into laughter.

Shi A Tiao smiled particularly brightly.
