Chapter 158: I Have No Interest in Money

Zhao Gen chatted for a few words and went out to chop wood. Yamin and Yating were busy in the kitchen.

Li Xuewen stood up and said he was going to the toilet, and Li Xuewu also stood up, saying he was going together.

The brothers put on their clothes, went out, and went to the latrine behind the house to relieve themselves.

Li Xuewu pulled his eldest brother Xuewen and asked: "Did you bring money?"

Li Xuewen was stunned. Why did his brother ask him for money? He answered: "I brought it, 5 yuan, what for?"

Li Xuewu looked at his eldest brother who was stupidly managed by his sister-in-law and couldn't help it. He took out 15 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it to his eldest brother.

Li Xuewu looked at his eldest brother who was stupidly managed by his sister-in-law and asked: "You don't have any private money? You only brought 5 yuan when you went out?"

Li Xuewen didn't know what medicine his brother was selling in the gourd, so he hurriedly pushed away his brother's hand and said: "Hey, Xuewu, why are you giving me money? I don't spend money, I have no interest in money."

This Li Xuewen looked like 5 yuan was a huge sum of money, and didn't feel that money was of any use at all.

Li Xuewu was so angry that he poked his eldest brother, and whispered: "Shout what, be quiet, you don't know what to do when you go to your in-laws' house before the New Year? The eldest sister-in-law's grandparents are there, those are elders, you must throw money when you leave, and you don't give New Year's money to your little sister-in-law who is so young?"

Eldest brother Li Xuewen only then reacted to his brother's intention, feeling very moved, and stammered: "Last time I gave money, your sister-in-law was slapped by her father, and she didn't dare to give money to her family anymore."

Li Xuewu was really convinced by this eldest brother, but they were brothers, so he had no choice, and could only teach him little by little.

"The eldest sister-in-law is the eldest sister-in-law, you are the son-in-law, the eldest sister-in-law sending money to her family is naturally beaten, you, the son-in-law, leaving money for the elders is etiquette."

Li Xuewu patted his eldest brother's arm and said: "Think about it yourself, the eldest sister-in-law's family provided a college student, and she married you as soon as she started working, and the family didn't borrow any light, and the salary of more than 60 yuan is not mentioned, that is the face given to you, the son-in-law. The grain sent is the emotion between the father and the in-laws, you can't be ignorant."

Li Xuewen looked at his brother, feeling that the years he spent as a brother were in vain, and he was not as sensible as his second brother.

"How should I give it?"

Li Xuewu pointed to his eldest brother's pocket and said: "After eating, I will go buy a dog first. When I come back and want to leave, you leave 10 yuan for the elders, and give 2 yuan to each of the three brothers-in-law and one sister-in-law."

Li Xuewen asked hesitantly: "Is it too much?"

Li Xuewu shook his head and said: "You are a new son-in-law, you can't come next month, don't make the first year's gift light, and give it according to your economic situation in the future."

Li Xuewen nodded and agreed, and the brothers returned to the house.

Not long after entering the house, a man with a broad face entered. Zhao Gen introduced: "Xuewen, you know him, Xuewu, this is the first time you meet, this is your brother-in-law, surnamed Yin, you call him brother-in-law."

Li Xuewu and Li Xuewen got off the kang when the man entered the house. After Zhao Gen's introduction, Li Xuewen first called brother-in-law.

Li Xuewu took out a cigarette and offered it to the eldest sister-in-law's brother-in-law, asking: "Brother-in-law, hello, this is our first meeting."

Zhao Gen introduced from the side: "Mancang, this is Xuewen's second brother Xuewu, you didn't see him when Xuewen got married, he was in the army at that time."

Yin Mancang enthusiastically shook hands with Li Xuewu and said: "When Ya Fang and the two got married, I heard that you were an officer, and this time you became a people's police officer. This physique is really good."

Li Xuewu helped Yin Mancang light the cigarette and asked with a smile: "Assigned to the Security Section of the rolling mill."

Yin Mancang said with great emotion: "Factories are better than local areas, not to mention the rolling mill, a good place."

Zhao Gen let them go on the side: "Don't stand on the ground, get on the kang and chat."

A few people took off their shoes and got on the kang. After sitting down, Yin Mancang asked Li Xuewen: "Is your Old Aunt's health good?"

Li Xuewen smiled and replied: "Very good, she cleans the house with my mother every day, and walks around the courtyard when she has nothing to do."

A few people chatted for a few words, Zhao Yajun put the kang table up, and Zhao Yamin and Zhao Yating were busy carrying rice bowls and dishes to the table.

Zhao Gen arranged for a few people to sit at the table. Old Master Zhao sat inside the kang table, Zhao Gen and Yin Mancang sat on one side of the kang head, Li Xuewen and Li Xuewu sat on one side of the end of the kang, and one side near the edge of the kang was empty waiting for dishes and rice, just sitting at a table.

The dishes were stewed pheasant with mushrooms and potatoes, stewed rabbit with potatoes and radishes, stir-fried cabbage with pork slices, a small basin of egg custard, and frozen cabbage, white-cut radish with a bowl of sauce.

Zhao Yajun also heated a pot of the loose wine Li Xuewu brought and served it, pouring half a bowl into everyone's rice bowl.

Drinking in a rice bowl is not as particular as drinking in a wine cup. There is no such thing as filling it up, otherwise everyone would have to drink more than half a jin.

Zhao Yajun finished serving this side and went to carry a black pottery noodle basin and put it at the end of the kang, covered it with a cover curtain, and carried a few dishes on the cover curtain, but the dishes were packed in small bowls and there was not much meat, and there was no egg custard.

Li Xuewu sat down, Zhao Gen's wife arranged for the old lady, two sons, and one daughter to squeeze by the cover curtain with cornmeal buns and prepare to eat, while she went to clean up the kitchen.

Zhao Yajun stood on the ground and served the wine bureau.

Zhao Gen was ready to let them drink. Li Xuewu pulled the wine pot at the edge of the kang to one side and said to Zhao Yajun: "Come, eldest brother, sit at the table and eat, just sit next to your father."

"The Alien Reclamation of Vegetable Skeleton"

Zhao Yajun hurriedly said: "No need, I'll eat later."

Zhao Gen also said: "Let him eat later, let's drink first."

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "Old Uncle, my brother-in-law is here, we are all family, Yajun is 18, sit at the table and drink with me."

Seeing Li Xuewu pulling himself hard, Zhao Yajun looked at his father embarrassedly.

Yin Mancang opened his mouth on the side: "Exactly, we are all family, Yajun should also get married after the New Year, so he should be treated as an adult."

Zhao Gen then relaxed, looked at his eldest son and said: "Get on the kang, drink with your eldest brother and second brother, and learn a little."

Zhao Yajun said "Hey," took off his shoes and got on the kang, back to the ground, face to the kang, sitting at the edge of the kang.

Zhao Gen's wife handed a rice bowl to Zhao Yajun, Zhao Yajun poured a small half bowl of wine for himself, and toasted a circle.

Li Xuewu's wine capacity was okay, but eldest brother Xuewen's was not. After being toasted a bowl by his brother-in-law, his face was flushed red.

Li Xuewu smiled and took over the wine field, and didn't let his eldest brother drink anymore.

This side was drinking enthusiastically. Li Xuewu turned his head and saw the youngest Ya Ping holding a rice bowl looking at him. Seeing him turn his head, she turned her head away a bit scared.

Li Xuewu drank the wine, his face was also red, and he smiled and said to Zhao Ya Ping: "Sister, come here."

Zhao Ya Ping was a bit scared, but this person just gave her sugar balls to eat, so she carefully moved to Li Xuewu's side. ===== CHAPTER 159 =====
