Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 153 Quarrel

Wen Qing looked at Zhuang Xien and said, "You saw it, so I don't want to go home."

Zhuang Xien said comfortingly: "You are so old, and you are still homesick? You have been away from home for 10 years, so your relationship with your family is certainly not as good as your brother and sister."

Wen Qing was not the original owner, so she felt more comfortable with this kind of distant relationship, so they asked for two single rooms.

After spending a few days on the train, not eating well or sleeping well, both of them felt a little tired.

The next day, the two of them slept until they woke up naturally. Wen Qing took Zhuang Xien for a walk nearby and had lunch at a small restaurant on the street.

The Wen family’s New Year’s Eve dinner starts at six in the evening, and Wen Qing and Zhuang Xien go to help at three in the afternoon.

While having the New Year's Eve dinner, Wen Yu and his wife went to her husband's house, and his brother Wen Lei came back with his wife and children. He has now given birth to his second child, a girl who is just over one year old and has very cute round eyes.

Everyone sat down to eat, and Wen Qing asked, "Dad, is your company hiring? I want to go back to the city."

Wen's father said, "There are many children of factory workers coming back from the countryside now, and we can't make arrangements for them all."

"Then can I come back first and then look for a job?"

Wen's mother turned and looked at him, but Wen Dayong didn't say anything.

Zhuang Xien said: "Uncle, please take care of it, we can spend money."

Wen Ma asked, "How much money do you have?"

Wen Qing rushed to say: "We have saved 300 yuan in the past few years."

Although life in rural areas is better now than before, it is still not easy to save 300 yuan.

Wen Lei said: "You didn't come back when Wen Yu got married, so you should give her 100 yuan as a wedding gift."

Wen Qing smiled and said, "Brother, I don't know how much money people in the city give as a gift? Can I, a farmer in the countryside, afford 100 yuan?"

Su Mei's face was not very good. "You are the elder sister, why can't you give more gift money to your younger sister?"

Wen Qing said, "If I can find a job without spending any money, I'll give it all to her, right, Dad?"

Wen's father said, "I don't know if you can find a job with this little money. Give me the money."

Wen Qing fished out a cloth bag from her inner pocket, took out the hundred-yuan bills inside, exactly 300 yuan, and handed it to Wen Dayong.

Wen Lei said, "Don't you still have money?"

Wen Qing smiled and said, "We don't need to pay to stay in the guesthouse? We don't need travel expenses to go back? Will you give it to me?"

Su Mei changed the subject and said to Zhuang Xien, "Xiao Zhuang, what are your plans?"

Zhuang Xien said: "We plan to get married."

Wen's father didn't say anything, so Wen's mother continued to ask, "Xiaozhuang, what does your family do? Who is in your family?"

Zhuang Xien replied: "My hometown is in the rural area of ​​Xijiang. My parents are farmers. I have an older sister, a younger brother, and a younger sister."

Wen's mother said, "Xiao Zhuang, don't blame Auntie for being so direct. How much do you plan to give as a betrothal gift?"

Wen Qing didn't expect her mother to ask for a dowry, so she quickly called out "Mom".

Mother Wen glared at her and said, "Although Wen Qing has been working in the countryside for the past few years, we have raised her for more than ten years after all."

Zhuang Xien said awkwardly: "My family is from the countryside, and our economic situation is not very good. My income is not high, and I have to send money home every day, so I don't save much."

Zhuang Xien sends 50 yuan to his family every month. In recent years, he has invested in a factory, bought a yard, and has to repay the loan, so he really doesn't have much cash.

Wen's mother said: "The man's gift is a sign of respect for the woman. We don't ask for much, just 1000 yuan."

Wen Qing didn't know what to say when she heard her mother say that. "Mom, I shouldn't ask, but you didn't have a chance to tell me. What kind of dowry is that?"

Wen Ma said, "Oh, we have dowry sheets, quilts, thermoses, washbasins and so on here."

"Nowadays, when a girl gets married, the man has to prepare furniture with 36 legs. I wonder if Xiaozhuang has prepared it? But this is your business, we are far away and can't do anything about it."

Wen Qing was a little angry, "How much are the sheets and quilts worth?"

Turning to her father, "Dad, are you comfortable finding a job for me?"

Wen's father said, "I don't know if you can find a job with such little money? Doesn't it cost money to build connections?" Then he put the money in his pocket.

Wen Qing put down her chopsticks and said, "Brother Xiaozhuang, let's go."

Wen's father said, "Wen Qing, it's not easy for us to raise you. You don't usually show filial piety to your parents. Did we say anything?"

Wen Qing said angrily: "Mom, do you think so too?"

Mother Wen avoided her gaze and whispered, "Wen Qing, it's rare for you to go home, don't be too fussy. If you can find a job, that's the best. If not, this money can be considered as your New Year's red envelope for us. How big of a deal is that?"

Wen Qing said: "Mom, it's not that I don't want to come back, why should I come back?"

Wen Lei said angrily: "Who asked you to come back? You didn't come home for so many years, didn't we live well?"

Wen's father said: "When children grow up, they have to be independent, and we have also fulfilled our responsibilities as parents."

Turning to Zhuang Xien, he said, "Young man, if you want to marry our Wen Qing, shouldn't you give a gift? These are all normal etiquette."

Zhuang Xien stood up, took out an envelope, handed it to Wen Ma, turned to Wen Qing and said, "Let's go."

Wen Lei's wife Li Lifang heard that the voices were getting louder, so she went to the next room with the children. As an outsider, she decided not to get involved.

The noise was so loud that it attracted the neighbors standing at the door. When they saw the two people coming out, they made way for them. Wen Qing and Zhuang Xien left without looking back.

When Wen's father saw the two leave without hesitation, he felt a little embarrassed. He slammed the door shut and the neighbors slowly dispersed.

After dinner, Wen Lei and Li Lifang also left to go back to their own homes. Li Lifang asked, "Is this okay for you? Wen Qing is quite angry."

Wen Lei said, "Dad didn't like Wen Qing anyway, that's why he sent her to the countryside, so it doesn't matter whether she comes back or not.

Besides, the man should give the woman a gift, isn't that what everyone does?"

Wen's father also said to Wen's mother: "The factory is going to distribute housing, and this 1300 yuan is just right for buying a house."

Mom Wen complained to Dad Wen: "Old Wen, you shouldn't treat Xiaoqing like this."

Wen's father said, "What's wrong with me? I told you not to raise her, but you insisted on bringing her back. Not only did you spend money to raise her, but you also didn't treat her well."

Mother Wen felt a little aggrieved and said, "You know the situation at that time. Where should you let her go as a child?"

He also said: "Wen Qing went to the countryside at such a young age, and she also helped Wen Lei."

Of course Wen Qing didn't hear these words.

After returning to the guesthouse, Wen Qing felt sad. She was not the original owner and didn't care about this matter. It just so happened that neither of them owed each other anything. But why did she suddenly feel sad?

After crying, she wiped her tears, and Zhuang Xien took her hand and said, "Xiao Qing, we will get married when we go back."

Wen Qing said "hmm", walked to her room, and said to Zhuang Xien, "Brother Zhuang, shall we go back to Kyoto tomorrow?"

Zhuang Xien nodded: "Okay, you take a rest first, and then buy a train ticket after you wake up."

Wen Qing said good night to Zhuang Xien, walked into the room, closed the door, and entered the space herself.

There were blue sky and white clouds in the space, the air was fresh, and looking at the green fields, Wen Qing suddenly felt better.

She went to inspect the fields. The corn and sorghum in the fields had grown to more than one meter tall, green corn cobs had already grown, and the wheat and rice had just started to ear.

Wen Qing went to the poultry section, selected the fat chickens and rabbits, slaughtered them, and put them in the warehouse. The warehouse has a function of preserving the food so that she can sell them when she has the chance.

The apples in the orchard are growing well. It seems that we can pick them when we get home. The apples can be made into cider. The fruits in the space taste better than those outside, and the wine ages faster in the space, but the output is limited.
