The development of things completely deviated from Luo's father and Luo's mother's imagination, and even subverted their cognition.
The eldest daughter accused and the younger son complained, making them furious. This quarrel lifted the fig leaf off everyone's body, leaving both of them with dark faces.
Luo's mother even cursed indiscriminately: "You white-eyed wolves, you are all such white-eyed wolves, I shouldn't have given birth to you..."
"What kind of good things can you raise with parents like you!" Roland was more anxious than she was and glared back at her.
The ensuing scene was out of control and ended with Luo Hong throwing harsh words and slamming the door.
Ji Huai worked overtime today, and it was already late at night when he came home. When he opened the door, the room was dark.
"Snapped."
He pressed the switch on the wall, and the room instantly became brighter. Luo Yushu was sitting on the sofa, covering her eyes with her hands because she was not used to the bright light.
"Why didn't you turn on the light?" He frowned slightly and walked over quickly.
Luo Yushu: "Forgot."
Ji Huai noticed that something was wrong with her mood, but he didn't say anything. He just asked, "Have you eaten?"
She shook her head.
Ji Huai: "Are you hungry?"
He didn't remind her that she didn't feel much yet. As soon as he finished speaking, she felt very hungry and hadn't eaten anything today.
"What do you want to eat? Here's some for you." He sat next to her and asked her.
Luo Yushu: “I don’t want to eat takeout, I want to eat clear soup noodles.”
Ji Huai: "You go and wash up, I'll do it for you."
"Okay." She stood up and tried her best to smile, "I want to eat two eggs."
"Yeah, two eggs."
The sound of gurgling water came from the bathroom, which made Luo Yushu's chaotic thoughts clearer.
When she came out, the air was filled with fragrance. Ji Huai looked up at her with a smile on his lips: "Wait for another five minutes, and it will be fine soon."
She walked over, stood behind him, put her arms around his waist, and pressed her side face intimately against his back.
Ji Huai was stirring the noodles with one hand, and held her hand with his free hand: "Tired from work? Are you busy recently?"
"Yeah." She nodded and said softly, "I'm busy with work, I'm about to graduate, and I have a lot of school homework."
"Do you need my help?" he said and turned off the fire.
Luo Yushu was silent for a moment, as if thinking, and finally said to him: "I need it."
She used to like to carry it alone, but later he told her that she needed to know how to express her needs reasonably, and the two of them were one.
Ji Huai: "I'll help you do it later."
She continued to wrap her arms around his waist, poked her little head out from behind him, looked at the noodles in the pot, and then at the eggshells next to her: "Did you beat three eggs?"
"Two for you and one for me." He smiled.
"Oh~~~I'll give you another half." She also grinned, turned around and walked to the side to get the bowls and chopsticks.
Ji Huai was holding a small pot, and she was holding a bowl and spoon. They were eating noodles around the small table.
Cai Zhen has been doing everything since she was a child. Ji Huai rarely goes to the kitchen, but he is not a kitchen idiot. His cooking skills are so-so, and she eats well.
late at night.
Ji Huai was sitting at the table. There were documents on the computer. He was looking at them. His long fingers were placed on the keyboard and he was typing quickly.
Luo Yushu, on the other hand, had unfinished papers, which made her eyes sore. She raised her hand to rub her eyes, propped up her chin and said, "I can't finish reading."
She originally wanted to come back early today so she would have enough time, but then she went back to Luo's house and wasted a lot of time.
"Sleep. The efficiency is not high now, and wasting time is a waste of time. Get up early tomorrow." Seeing her wilting expression, Ji Huai also closed the computer, stood up and said to her.
Luo Yushu was not in a good mood. She raised her hand and walked towards him, hugging him like a sloth, "You have to wake me up early tomorrow."
His sleep quality is better than hers, and he wakes up automatically without setting an alarm clock.
"What time?" He carried her to the bed and lifted the quilt with his free hand.
Luo Yushu put down her harsh words: "Six-thirty!"
"So early? It's ready at half past seven. Tomorrow is Saturday, sleep more." Ji Huai chuckled softly, hugged her on the bed, and wanted to put her down, but she was still wrapped around him, with straight and even legs. He tightened his grip and refused to let go. He lowered his eyes and looked at her, "How can I sleep here?"
She didn't say anything, just hugged him.
Ji Huai didn't even fall asleep. He sat on the bed and looked at her, saying, "This is good."
Luo Yushu: "What's so good about it?"
"Everything is better when two people do it. It's better than when we are alone." He didn't think much about it. After finishing speaking, he looked down at her and said, "The days from now on will be peaceful and happy, and everyone will share the joy."
No waves, no twists and turns, plainness is already the greatest luck.
Luo Yushu put her head gently on his chest, hugged him with her arms, and did not choose to endure it. She told him about the Luo family: "I went home today..."
She sighed as she spoke, feeling very conflicted and unable to explain why. One side is the past self, and the other side is the present life.
Ji Huai listened to her quietly and said nothing.
She raised her head and looked at him with her beautiful eyes, waiting for his comment.
Seeing her serious expression, he couldn't help but raise his hand and pinch her face. She had good skin and soft cheeks, so he pinched her twice more and curled up the corners of his mouth: "Between husband and wife, there must be discussion before confession. You did a great job and deserve praise.”
Luo Yushu pursed her lips, held his hand and squeezed her again: "Of course I will be honest."
She had seen Luo's father and Luo's mother quarreling too much over finances since she was a child. Luo's mother would help her natal family and secretly take the money back. She didn't know how many times she fought with Luo's father. But after her grandmother passed away, now she can't even return to her natal family. No hot meal to eat.
She entered into marriage with him with full sincerity. Husband and wife should be of the same mind.
"Everyone has their own life. When dealing with others, they are most afraid of crossing the line, which is commonly known as nosy." Ji Huai said this. Seeing her frowning, she seemed unable to understand. He touched her head and slowly said, "You feel sorry for me. Parents, if you think they are being embarrassed, it is because of your wishful thinking. Everything they did was done willingly and unwillingly, and they stopped doing it a long time ago. You just need to take care of yourself and repay them. There is no need to ask any questions about your upbringing or other matters, and there is no need to worry about other people."
"Love is the hardest thing to reason about. If you think you can contribute some money, then give it within the range you can accept. But I don't think it's about money. It's the responsibility of two adults, both of whom are parents. If you can't stand up to solve some problems and give birth to a child, the difficulties will have just begun."
…
Luo Yushu's restless heart was instantly calmed by him. She held up his handsome face and said, "How do you know so much? My family environment is obviously more complicated."
He was raised and cared for by his parents and loved selflessly, but he knew how to get along with others better than someone who came from a family with many children like her. Ji Huai really has boundaries when getting along with people. He often complains and is very measured in what he does to whom and what he does.
Ji Huai: "Born."
He is really born with sensitivity, knows how to get along with others, can gain the favor of others quickly, and get the information he wants to gain benefits.
Luo Yushu just thought he was showing off: "So being a salesperson is also a reward from God?"
"I think it might be." He was not modest.
"Huh huh huh!" She emphasized her tone and hummed a few more times. He put her down on the bed, and he half pressed her down. Looking at her rosy and attractive pink lips, Ji Huai couldn't help but taste them. "I like to hear this scream. I will scream more often."
Luo Yushu: "..."
rogue!
After Ji Huai persuaded her, once her mood fluctuated, she would divert her attention and stop causing trouble to herself.
She knew that what the Luo family needed was not just a small amount of money. Luo's father and mother wanted to arrange everything for Luo Hong, but she was unable to help. The old couple would not change because of the quarrel that day. After feeling relieved, they began to work overtime to make money and racked their brains to save money.
On Luo's mother's birthday, Luo Yushu ordered a cake, and the other party didn't even count the money. In the past, she bought it if she liked it, but now she was afraid that it wouldn't work. After hearing Luo's mother talk about buying a bracelet for a long time, she just got her salary, so she went to the mall to buy gold. bracelet.
She bought two, one for Luo's mother and one for Cai Zhen.
She originally wanted to go back, but she called in advance and learned that in order to save more money for Luo Hong, the small restaurant was not closed today, and they didn't care whether she came back or not, so she didn't embarrass herself.
Luo Yushu couriered the cake and bracelet, then turned around and went to Ji's house. All she wanted was to have a clear conscience and do what she should do, and that was enough.
When Cai Zhen heard that she was coming, she bought a lot of vegetables and asked her to call Ji Huai and ask him to come back for dinner.
"I'll give him a beating. He'll be back soon." Luo Yushu went to the kitchen to help her.
Luo Yushu's cooking skills were good, but not as good as Cai Zhen's. The two were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious. When she took out the bracelet and gave it to Cai Zhen, the other party looked distressed: "How much is it? Mom will give it to you. You just bought a house and there is a lot to spend money on."
"Ji Huai said it's enough to give you the flowers. We just have to work harder." She replied with a smile.
"He talks but doesn't do anything. He just talks sweetly." How could Cai Zhen not know about her son
Luo Yushu frowned and said deliberately: "I want to tell him that you are saying bad things about him behind his back."
"I can still tell him in front of him! Only now that I have a daughter-in-law do I know that this guy is cheating on me." Cai Zhen said with a bit of anger, and admired the bracelet on her hand, smiling so much that fine lines appeared at the corners of her eyes.
"The things I bought for you are half of his heart. After all, they are joint property of husband and wife. I don't dare to take all the credit." She was as sweet as Ji Huai, and Cai Zhen was elated.
She kept saying that her son was not good, but was it because he was her dearest child or she felt that he had no shortcomings? When Luo Yushu said this, she felt extremely happy, and she was busy without letting Luo Yushu interfere.
When Ji Huai opened the door, he heard chuckles from inside the room. He knew how to follow the rules and the food had just been prepared.
As soon as he sat down, Cai Zhen brought the bowl and handed the chopsticks to Luo Yushu.
"Oh, a big gold bracelet." Ji Huai raised his eyebrows, looked at her wrist, and said twice, "That's incredible."
Cai Zhen's smile instantly faded. She sat down and looked at him with a straight face, then at Luo Yushu: "Look, he never thought of buying it for me. What's the use of saying nice things for him? Make me happy. Not even for a while.”
Ji Huai stopped serving the soup and looked at Luo Yushu with a questioning expression.
"I just know how to eat!" Cai Zhen scolded him.
"Drink soup." Ji Huai served the first bowl of soup to Cai Zhen and said politely, "My wife-in-law bought you a bracelet. You don't like me, right? Mom, every time she spends The money we share is the joint property of husband and wife, and half of my heart is in it.”
Cai Zhen was dumbfounded and looked back and forth between the two of them. Why did they seem to be colluding? They all speak exactly the same.
Luo Yushu chuckled. After being together for a long time, their lives will become more and more similar.
"Mom, you are wearing a bracelet, and your aura is different. You are particularly arrogant today." Ji Huai said to her slowly, "I advise you to restrain yourself and not go too far."
"..." Cai Zhen ignored him, peeled a shrimp and put it in Luo Yushu's bowl, "Try the shrimp made by mom. I heard they said this method is more delicious. If it tastes good, mom will make it for you tomorrow."
Luo Yushu said sweetly: "Thank you, Mom."
Ji Huai had to go to work in the afternoon and hurried back after dinner. Luo Yushu wanted to help in the kitchen, but the other party stopped her and asked her to go back to the house to sleep.
Luo Yushu returned to Ji Huai's room. There was nothing left in his room, and all the clothes were moved to her end. Cai Zhen had just washed the sheets yesterday, and they were clean and fragrant.
She closed the door, lay on the bed and took her cell phone over. There was no text message or call on it.
The cakes and bracelets were delivered to the Luo family. She paid extra to send them. As before, Luo's mother didn't care about what she gave, and she only mentioned them casually. Before the disappointment in my heart could arise, Ji Huai's transfer was received on his cell phone.
Ten thousand yuan.
He left a message: I will reimburse you.
Luo Yushu's expression flashed slightly and she told him that she had bought two.
Ji Huai: Yeah.
As always, he didn't ask any questions.
As the two chatted, she told her the price. Because of the discount and the recent low gold price, it didn't cost more than 10,000 yuan, but he didn't care about it.
"Ding."
He transferred another five thousand yuan to her.
Ji Huai: You can also buy one for yourself.
Luo Yushu looked at the message for a long time. Although Ji Huai rarely expressed love to his parents, she knew that he cared about them. She could clearly feel that he was just as happy as Cai Zhen.
Even when she worked hard to take care of everyone, he didn't forget her. This kind of recognition was more precious than anything else.
Luo's mother called her two days later. She said that the store was too busy and she didn't eat much of the cake. It was going bad in the refrigerator, so she stopped eating it and had lost it.
He brushed off the bracelet and scolded Roland. In order not to give money to Roland, Luo's mother refused to let him help, so the old couple were busy. A tenant on the second floor also checked out. The room was not easy to rent. Young people all like to live in new houses, and they lost another income.
Roland didn't go out to look for a job. They wanted him to live in the small room upstairs because that room had better lighting and could be rented for 1,000 yuan. Roland refused to move, and the house was in chaos every day.
Quarrels and abuse became a daily routine.
Luo's mother finally said: "My heart is as high as the sky, and I am not married yet, which makes people laugh. If I raise it, it will be in vain! I will lose money and lose money!"
Luo Yushu said calmly: "This is not a business deal."
"Anyway, we're just losing money." Mother Luo said, then changed the subject, "Have you and Ji Huai agreed on when to get married? The sooner the better. I asked your brother to coax the little girl and secretly get the certificate first. You don’t know, I had to coax her with nice words and bought a lot of things. Fortunately, she agreed. Then I will renovate the upstairs and buy a house when I have money. You get married first and you have to collect the share money. .”
Luo Yushu: "We don't have the money to settle yet."
"I won't charge you any other money, just get married." Luo's mother felt that even if she got the certificate and didn't hold a wedding, it was equivalent to not getting married.
Both daughters are not married, but the son is about to get married. How embarrassing
Anyway, the little girl has received the certificate, everything is easy to deal with, and there is no need for too much money. After collecting the contribution money, they can add a little more.
Luo Yushu really doesn't want to get married. Who gets married in a hurry
She also wanted to take it slow and save some money. Unexpectedly, Luo's mother went directly to Ji Huai and contacted Cai Zhen, asking the family to sit together to discuss.
As soon as the Luo family spoke, Cai Zhen prepared gifts and went over, but Luo Yushu couldn't stop her.
The two families made an appointment at the restaurant. Cai Zhen became very enthusiastic when she saw Luo's mother. She asked her to sit down and handed her the menu. When Luo's mother talked about marriage and Luo Yushu's financial constraints, Cai Zhen Jane quickly said: "Don't be nervous, his dad and I will help them, they don't have to worry. I have wanted to see you for a long time, and the sooner we get married, the better. The wedding must be held, and our family will not wrong Xiao Shu." "
When Luo's mother heard this, her eyes flashed, and she looked at Luo's father, who seemed to be struggling in his eyes.
Cai Zhen is so talkative, but they still want the gift money...
"Mom." Luo Yushu looked at Cai Zhen and emphasized, "I won't get married if I spend too much money. You can say whatever you want."
Mother Luo's face darkened and she looked at Ji Huai again. Luo Yushu also looked at him and continued expressionlessly: "He listens to me, or let him get married alone."
Ji Huai also looked at everyone and finally chose to remain silent. He really couldn't argue with Luo Yushu and didn't want to quarrel over this matter.
Cai Zhen was embarrassed and called her: "Xiao Shu..."
Luo Yushu looked at Luo's mother and said, "The bride price has already been used to buy a house. Don't listen to my mother. They don't have any money either. All they spent was the money Ji Huai and I borrowed from credit cards. It's too expensive and we can't afford it."
The Ji family insisted on giving her a wedding, saying they didn't want to wrong her, but Luo's mother pressed for a wedding and wanted to take part in the wedding.
Luo's mother laughed dryly and kept saying that she knew, but she was not soft-spoken when talking about various kinds of money.
Without the betrothal gift, there are more places where you can get money. When the time comes, you can buy less things and still save tens of thousands. She talked about various expenses over and over again, and then said: "In our place, the man usually pays for these."
"We know." Cai Zhen had no objection. She felt that the bride price and Luo Yushu's savings were all put into the house. The Luo family asked for tens of thousands, so she felt there was no problem.
"As long as the children have a good life," Luo's mother added, "We didn't want to make money, so we raised our daughter to such a big age... We all lost money... Married to someone else's family... "
Luo Yushu interrupted her, "You made business talks so nice again."
Mother Luo's expression froze slightly. She didn't expect Luo Yushu to speak so frankly. She looked at them with a calm expression and her words were very clear: "Only 20,000, including all expenses, 20,000."
"Impossible." Luo's mother changed her face, "The banquet is very expensive, why don't you kid understand?"
Luo Yushu exposed her directly: "You won't lose money by hosting a banquet. Do you think you make 20,000 yuan less?"
Luo's mother was told what she was thinking, and she was making quibbles.
She wanted to save money for her son, and this was the best opportunity to get money. Cai Zhen seemed to be very talkative. She thought she could get the bride price because she knew the girl she raised was so ignorant.
Cai Zhen also felt that 20,000 was too little, and looked at Luo Yushu: "Xiao Shu, a decent wedding still costs money, 20,000 is less, let's make it beautiful."
Only Luo Yushu knows, what is beautiful? In the end, I didn’t even go to the food stalls, just in the alleys.
At a few hundred yuan per table, the cost is kept to a minimum, and she can still make money even after accepting contributions from her classmates and friends. She won't have a dowry, and the messy money is just for the Ji family to pay for.
"Yes, it's just this once in your life, are you willing to wrong yourself? I paid for you to go to college and study, but you are so confused?!" Luo's mother looked unhappy, "The standards of the banquet are low, others will laugh when they come to watch. "
After being seen through, she decided to add 200 yuan per table to the standard of the banquet. It should not be looked down upon and it was considered a good thing for her daughter. After all, the extra cost for a few dozen tables was nearly 10,000 yuan.
Luo Yushu said no more.
She understands Luo's mother's psychology, because her love for her children is different. If she releases a little kindness, she will feel that she loves her enough. It's her who doesn't know what's good or bad.
Cai Zhen nodded: "Yes, prices are high now."
Seeing her approval, Mother Luo's thoughts took a few twists and turns. Ji Huai then spoke: "Should the banquets be held separately or together?"
"Our family will take care of it ourselves. Do you want to go back to your hometown?" Luo's mother asked him.
Ji Huai: "I want to do it at the hotel."
Of course Luo's mother disagrees. How can one make money in a hotel with thousands of tables per table? There won't be more than a thousand in the alley, and it can be down to 800. She doesn't care where the Ji family is, she can go back to her hometown or go to a hotel.
Ji Huai took Luo Yushu's hand from under the table and looked at Luo's mother again: "In this case, the hotel expenses will be higher. Mom, you will keep the expenses simple. When the time comes, we will book the hotel venue. You and Dad Come over tonight, okay?"
"Yes." Cai Zhen thought it was okay, and immediately said, "Our family doesn't have any relatives here. I've gone to see them. The venues of those big hotels are very beautiful. They cost tens of thousands. Let's go and book one."
Luo's mother thought it was expensive and said, "It's not necessary."
"We don't want to wrong Xiao Shu. The more we spend, the more we will spend." Cai Zhen answered her.
Ji Huai also said: "Most of our budget here can be spent on wedding decoration."
Luo's mother thought about it, but couldn't think of a reason. It didn't make sense for her daughter's benefit. The most terrible thing was that Ji's family had gone to find out more about it and explained it in detail.
Luo's father didn't say a few words from beginning to end. Luo's mother gave him several hints, but he pretended not to notice.
Cai Zhen felt that the conversation went smoothly and everything was very good. When she left, she held Luo's mother's hand and kept saying that she had given birth to a good daughter and she would treat her well.
"Xiao Shu is sensible and obedient. The two children get along well, and the stone in my heart has dropped." Cai Zhen said very pleased, with her eyes full of respect and love for Luo Yushu.
Luo's mother was a little distracted. She looked at Luo Yushu, who was standing next to her, and then at the bracelet on Cai Zhen's hand. Her expression changed a little.
Ji Huai called a car for Luo and his mother, opened the door for them, and said goodbye to them.
As the car drove forward, Luo's mother turned around and saw Ji Huai put his arms around Luo Yushu's shoulders. The two of them had turned around. He was talking to her with his head down. Cai Zhen didn't know what he said to her. He took her hand and the family People seem to be enjoying themselves.
She was originally going to quarrel with Luo's father, but she was holding back her anger. She felt that the other party was just a piece of wood and she didn't know how to fight for her son. There would be grandchildren who would have to spend money in the future. But now her throat felt like cotton was blocked and she couldn't say a word.
Before the wedding.
When Ji Huai came to Luo's house, Luo's mother looked behind him and didn't find Luo Yushu, so she was a little confused.
He asked to see where Luo Yushu lived before. Luo's mother didn't know why, but she wiped her hands and took him upstairs. In the meantime, Luo's father also came.
Ji Huai looked around the small cubicle. The two people stood in and squeezed in. There was already some dust inside, and it was used as a utility room, so it was very messy. The light is also not good, which is equivalent to having no windows, and the air quality is also bad.
His eyes changed again and again, and he looked at the two of them and made a request.
When Luo's father heard this, his face was filled with shame.
