Chapter 20
The Mu family didn't have much money. Half of the money for building this big house was borrowed by Mu's parents and Mu Baisheng's cousin, and a small part was sent to Mu Baisheng's home money. The Mu family's parents themselves didn't pay much money at all.
Since they don’t have much money, why do they still have to build such a big house? Usually, the old couple lives at home, so it’s really unnecessary to build such a big house.
The truth is simple and ridiculous, because other families in the village have big houses, and they feel that they have no face if they don’t have it, so they build the house regardless of whether there is any need or whether there is money or not.
The old couple will tend to put gilds on their son's face. They never say that the money was borrowed from their brother's children, but that they were sent back by their son, saying that their son is more promising and capable outside.
Mu Baisheng knew these things and had advised the couple not to do this. They would be broken sooner or later if they brag too much. However, his persuasion was useless at all, and they went out to brag even more powerfully.
Now that Dongyang is going to face everything bad, she feels very tired.
After making some mental preparations, I pushed open the door and walked in. The bright yard was planted with fruits and vegetables, and the green was full of vitality. Mu Ma was holding an aluminum basin and squatting under the bean rack to pick beans. When she heard the footsteps, she raised her head. When she saw the visitor, she threw the basin and rushed towards Dongyang.
"Shengsheng is back, it is Shengsheng is back," she shouted while pounced on her, hugging Dongyang while shouting out Mo's father who was drinking tea in the room.
Dad Mu was not so excited. He just smiled and said, "You are back." Then he stopped talking about him. He reached out to take the bag from Dongyang's hand and turned back to the house.
Dongyang followed him into the room and was shocked by the arrangement in the room.
What style is this?
Traditional is not traditional, Western is not Western, the whole mix is a mix. It is fashionable for others to mix and match, but their mix is really tacky.
Not to mention anything else, just talk about the chairs placed by the dining table, which are yellow and dragon-patterned, like dragon-shaped chaises. When I got closer, I saw that the workmanship was so rough that it made people worry that it would collapse when I sat on it.
Mu Ma was even happier when she saw Dongyang standing at the door without moving for a long time, and said proudly, "Shengsheng, is our family changing a lot? Are you scared? Let me tell you, our village is so grand, others look good outside, but they reveal their stuff as soon as they enter. The old tables and furniture that have been used for many years are not good at all."
Dongyang thought to himself that you are not as good as other people's old tables and furniture, but she couldn't bear to make the two elders sad, so she just laughed and didn't say anything.
Dongyang sat down on the European sofa in the living room, while Mu's father was making tea while asking about her recent situation, while Mu's mother ran out to pick vegetables again and wanted to make delicious food for her.
I heard that Dongyang returned from a job, but his father Mu's face looked a little bad.
"What do you do when you come back at this time? You should stay if you can. Why are you better outside than at home?" Dad Mu said with a deep brow frowned.
Dongyang explained, "You don't know many things here. I don't have enough education. Even if I can barely stay, I still have to transfer my career and go home. It's better to take this opportunity to go home and find another way out."
Her words are true. This is indeed an opportunity, a rare opportunity. If she had not caught up with this reform, she would never have been able to get a chance to change her career at this age.
But Mu's father didn't care about this. He thought it was good outside and people would look down upon him when he came back.
There was no way that Mu Dad said, so Dongyang had to tell her that she had a settlement fee when she came back, and she was not young and young. The local area would arrange work, and it would not be useless.
When he heard that he had money and work, his father finally calmed down and began to discuss with Dongyang that it was the matter to invite relatives to their house for dinner.
Dongyang felt that it was really unnecessary. It was not a big wedding like marriage. There was no need to invite so many people to have a banquet. It was too exaggerating.
But Mu Dad didn't think so. He said, "You have left the house for so many years and I don't know many things. Your uncle and aunt have taken care of our family a lot. Now that you are back, why don't you thank them well? We can't let them poke you behind your back, you're a wolf."
What Mu Dad said was not unreasonable, and Dongyang couldn't find a reason to refuse.
The family of three had a happy meal in the evening, and Dongyang was arranged to sleep on the small kang in the back room. She was really tired on this day, so she just cleaned up and went to bed.
I woke up by urine until midnight and got up and prepared to go out to solve the problem. When I walked to the living room, I found that the light in the front room was still on, and Mu's parents had not yet fallen asleep.
Standing in the living room, you can still hear their voices vaguely.
The old couple opened all the luggage that Dongyang brought back and saw it all, and were very dissatisfied.
"Shengsheng is really true. If you don't call him when you come back, let's explain that he will buy more things and come back. Look, now, when you come back empty-handedly, there is no gift to show off. Isn't this a joke?" Mu Ma complained.
Mr. Mu also sighed, "He is just a scheming person. During the Chinese New Year, I called him and asked him to buy some specialties there to mail it. It looks so good to take the gifts, but he was unwilling to have two people who were too expensive, and in the end he didn't mail it back. I even told my elder brother and the others, and almost threw his face to my grandma's house."
Dongyang recalled that there was indeed such a thing.
At that time, the Chinese New Year was approaching, and Mu Baisheng was worried that there was too much New Year's Eve and the first day of the first day of the New Year, so he called home in advance. Mu's father asked him to buy some local specialty jade and come back and give it to his uncle and aunt's family.
The reason why Mr. Mu had this idea was because Mr. Mu. Mr. Mu knew that the place where Mu Baisheng was staying was producing jade, which was much cheaper than buying it on the market. He told Mr. Mu about this and wanted Mr. Mu to help him get some money back. He didn't ask Mu Baisheng for help, and he would give money.
Mu's father is also a conflicted person. He can beg for nothing to build a house for his nephew, but now he becomes generous and refuses to ask for the old man's money. He also said readily, "Isn't it just a few dollars? My son can still afford this money. Go back and ask him to buy a few more dollars, and each brother is one dollar."
He let go of his words, and his brothers and sisters were so happy that they were so happy. As a result, Mu Baisheng didn't get him done, and he lost all his face and didn't go out any longer throughout the first month.
Why didn't Mu Baisheng buy it? Because the jade is really not cheap. He has indeed saved some money, but the money is for emergency use, not to give anyone a face.
Now Dongyang is going to face Mu Baisheng's troubles. To be honest, she is still a little helpless.
Dongyang's parents died early and had never been with their elders. They really didn't know how to deal with their parents and elders. They were too soft and would be led by their noses. They were too hard and would make them sad and sad. It was really difficult to deal with.
