Chapter 397: The soft rice man who feels at ease (17)

Jijia.
When Ji Huai came back, there was no one at home, and he didn't call and drove his father and mother to come back. He took his luggage and went to his room.
He is the only child in the family, and the Ji family’s family background is generally inferior. His parents usually work as small laborers on the construction site, or do some cleaning work for others.
Ji Mu is diligent, even if he does not come back, she will keep his room spotless. As the Chinese New Year approached, knowing that he was coming back, the sheets and duvet cover were all washed and laid for him.
He was not idle either. Seeing a lot of sundries on the side of the house, he started to clean up.
It was night when the father and mother of Ji came back. Seeing him come back, I was surprised at first, and then rejoiced. Mother Ji smiled so that the corners of her eyes were creases, and her voice increased, "I'm back today? Why didn't you call your parents? Let's buy more vegetables, and buy the seafood you like."
"I'm going to buy it now." Father Ji said, turning around and going out again.
"No need for Dad, now there is no shortage of food or clothing, and you can still eat it normally." Ji Huai stopped him, "you can eat whatever you want. You have to rest for a day."
"I'm busy during the New Year. I help them clean up. I have to do it in a hurry, but I have a high income and I can earn hundreds of dollars a day. I wait for a few days to rest before cleaning the house." Ji Mu said to him.
As the New Year is approaching, every household must be cleaned up. If some people are unwilling to do it, they have to hire someone. It's not cheap to hire people at this time. She and Ji's father drove several households a day, and their income was several times the usual.
"Where can you make enough money? Don't be too tired, you and Dad." Ji Huai walked to the sofa and poured water on the two.
Ji's father and Ji's mother have been busy all his life, and he couldn't stop them from going. It is not a good thing for people who have been busy all their lives to suddenly be idle.
"What are you tired? When I was young, my dad and I did all the work. Planting weeds and planting fruit trees in the mountains are much more tired than this, and you can't make any money. Why are you tired now?" Ji Mu didn't care. Take off his clothes and start to work in the kitchen. She opened the refrigerator, "Auntie brought sea fish and bacon some time ago. Mom will make something for you."
"Just do whatever you want." Ji Huai walked into the kitchen and chatted with her.
"To make dumplings the day after tomorrow, I have to buy some meat." Ji Mu squatted down and took some rice, ready to wash.
"Mom, I'll come." Ji Huai took it and walked aside.
Ji Mu laughed and went to wash the vegetables again. Looking at the son who was one head taller, she became more relieved, fearing that he would be hungry, and speeding up the movements in her hands.
The son came back with great difficulty. Ji's mother took out all the fish that could be cooked at home, and also cooked Jihuai's favorite steamed egg flower.
Ji Huai was not idle either. Seeing that Ji's father was repairing the fan at home, he also went to help. The other party is getting old and dimmed, naturally not as neat as the young man.
The family was busy with their own affairs, and when night fell, one dish was served up, and the fragrance filled the air.
"It's dinner." Mother Ji's voice rang, put the dishes on the table, and said to the father and son.
The three of them came to the table, and the father and mother of Ji said from time to time, "Eat more, eat more, eat more meat."
Ji Huai: "Yeah."
"Tomorrow Mom will buy a hen stew for you, or do you want spare ribs? What else do you want to eat?" Ji Mu asked him.
"Yes, tell your mother." Father Ji said, holding a piece of meat.
On weekdays, the two of them eat a little bit after work. Sometimes they can eat a dish for a few days, and neither of them is talkative. The atmosphere at home is dull and dull.
It's different when the son comes back. The house is also a bit lively. The two are very enthusiastic about what they do, and they can't wait to circle Ji Huai.
"How can there be so much attention?" Ji Huai didn't say the recipe, "what do you do and what do I eat."
"Okay." Although Ji Mu agreed, she certainly didn't do it casually, and asked him, "How many days are you staying at home this time?"
As soon as this remark came out, Ji's father also looked up at him.
Ji Huai: "Twelve days, this year's annual vacation will be longer."
The two knew that they would go to their relatives' house to pay New Year's greetings on the day after the New Year, and talked about trivial things about the other's house.
The family of three happily ate at the dinner table. Su Rili’s slightly deserted home has a bit of temperature. Ji’s mother said that the east and the west are short, and Ji’s father didn’t talk much in the past. As he grows older, he talks more and more. , Most of them refer to things on the construction site or at home.
Ji Huai ate an extra bowl of rice today, and praised Ji Mu’s craftsmanship,
Mom’s cooking is much better than takeout. Takeout is too frequent, and it’s hard to eat.

Although the takeaway is very fragrant, the meal at home is more appetizing. When a person eats takeaway in a rental house, or works overtime while eating takeaway in a company, his state of mind is not tasting food, but just to fill his stomach.
When he said this, Ji's mother was distressed. She stopped the chopsticks in her hand, looked at Ji Huai, and considered her exit, "Son, last time you said you wanted to buy a house, your dad and I also thought about it. Try to save some money for you in the next year. At that time, I can buy you a small house in the city."
Of course it is not the full amount, only a down payment can be made.
"Yes, buy a small one first." Father Ji nodded and said so.
They used to make money for Ji Huai to go to school, and they didn't have any savings. They didn't have any money and didn't think about the house. Last time Ji Huai said that they wanted to save money to buy a house. That's why they had this idea.
People have to change their minds before they have a plan, and finally they transform themselves into working towards their goals.
Ji Huai had never thought of buying a house before. On the one hand, he is really incapable. The house in the county and urban area often requires a down payment of hundreds of thousands, and he has to borrow hundreds of thousands of loans. The monthly payment is too scary, and he does not want to bear such pressure; second, he still wants to have fun. I think it's still early, and I will plan again in a few years. He talked with Sun Ya for so long, and she was going to get married no matter what, and she would not dislike him, let alone leave him.
He hadn’t even thought about things, his father and his mother’s thoughts were even more limited, and he never thought about it. After all, the money is astronomical to them. When they think of the loan amounting to hundreds of thousands, they honestly work for the rest of their lives. Dare to think.
When Ji Huai mentioned it, they didn't consciously think about that. They always paid special attention to the news. They paid more attention, and they also had some thoughts in their minds.
"The second aunt's wife only bought a set a few days ago. Now the unit price in the urban area is 13 thousand yuan." Ji Mu said with emotion again, who are the houses sold to?
"There is also a small house of 70 square meters. After a few years, parents will save enough money to pay you down payment. We are old too. You have to pay the mortgage yourself." Ji's father looked at Ji Huai and said his plan.
All he can do is to provide Ji Huai for studying, save him a down payment, and buy a small house. In his opinion, if this is the case, the son also has the capital to get married, have a marriage room, and have a place to stay.
Ji's mother also nodded, fearing that her son would treat her body badly in order to save money, "You are also working hard outside. You should save some money for the hard-earned money, but don't treat yourself badly. Parents work hard to give you the down payment. Save."
Ji Huai previously said that he would save money to buy a house. As traditional parents, they couldn't bear to watch their children save money on their own. They even wanted to share most of the pressure and feel guilty for not being able to provide better conditions for their children.
Ji Huai held a bowl, swallowed the rice in his mouth, and looked at the two of them, "I don't want to buy a house in the city. I want to return to the provincial capital next year to buy it."
"Ah? This" Ji Mu was stunned, and did not get over for a while, "Why are you going to save the capital? Isn't it good here?"
Father Ji also frowned, a little disagreed, he knew a little bit about the county town, he didn't know much about the provincial capital, and the house in the provincial capital would be so expensive that they couldn't afford it.
The two never thought that Ji Huai would go to the provincial capital when he came back, thinking that he would definitely go back to the county and be by their side.
They didn't expect Ji Huai to make a lot of money. They didn't know exactly what job he was doing outside. They knew that he would be a white-collar worker in the office.
When a person gets older, he wants the child to be by his side, buy a small house, and pay back the monthly payment. He can't afford to pay it back alone, so the whole family will pay it back.
Isn't it that way? Just stumbling and stumbling.
"Xiaoya works as a teacher in the provincial capital. I want to come back next year and marry her." Ji Huai put down his chopsticks and said this seriously.
The Sun family knew of his existence, but he seldom talked about Sun Ya with his family, and felt that he was not there. Ji's father and Ji's mother didn't know much about Sun Ya, but he knew that there was this person and that they were high school classmates. He didn't say anything about the others, and didn't care about the two, and didn't know whether they were separated or together.
A teacher is a good job in the eyes of his parents, but Ji Huai suddenly said that he was going to get married, and the two were still stunned.
In the past two years, the father and the mother have saved a little bit, and are still saving the down payment. Marriage means a bride price, a banquet, and various expenses. They had no money, and Ji Huai was still working in other provinces, so they didn't urge him at all.
"Will it be too rushed? Suddenly we will get married. It will take less than two years, right?" Ji Mu said, hesitating, "My dad and I have never asked how you get along, and don't know her. , So anxious to get married"
As she said, she looked at Father Season, and the other party also said, "My mom and I have the same idea, it's still early to get married, so I can go everywhere."
Boys’ homes and girls’ homes think differently. Ji Huai is not too old, and it’s not a big problem to delay marriage for a year or two. After a few years, their family’s conditions will be better and they won’t be too tight.
"How many years have you been in? Are you still in the same place? You will lose your daughter-in-law again." Ji Huai shook his head, vetoed them, and sighed again, "Now it's all long-distance relationships. I'm alone in t city. You and Xiaoya are here, separate the two places, and earn a little bit more money, but I don’t know what it is after thinking about it."
"We have been together for these years, the relationship has been stable, and the things that should be run-in are almost run-in. I also want to settle down, want to come back to marry her, and have a home with her. I don't want to get married again."
"The provincial capital is not far from here, and the salary and various treatments are good, and I can come back to see you often."
This was a multi-pronged approach, and Ji's father and Ji's mother looked at each other a few times and thought about it seriously.
Of course, they don't want Ji Huai to be wandering outside. It is his own son after all. When he listens to these words, his parents feel distressed and want him to come back.
The two have been in love for so long, and now they want to get married. If they can't get married, Ji Huai doesn't want to get married later, that would be too bad.
If Jihuai returns to the provincial capital, his salary is higher than that of a small county, so he can often come back to visit them.
Father Ji looked at him seriously, "Did you think carefully?"
Ji Huai has always had an idea, and they can't help the children, so they can't make trouble.
"I thought about it well, and I want to come back soon and get married with her. This time I want to get engaged first. When the company's business is finished, I will come back to look for a job and buy a house to get married." Ji Huai answered without thinking.
"But our family can't afford a house in the provincial capital." Ji Mu is worried about this.
"I don't want your money, you keep it for the elderly. We save a little, and we will sell the smaller house first, and then we will replace it." Ji Huai said.
When I heard that the two had money to buy a house in the provincial capital, Sun Ya had a good job, and the two had a good relationship and wanted to get married. How can they object to it?
Ji Huai began to urge the two to go to Sun’s family to propose marriage. He has been very anxious. Since eating this meal, he has been talking about this matter, and he has also been telling Ji Mu: "Mom, you should ask more about it, but don’t let her. I think our family doesn't value her, and the courtesy is well."
"Mom knows." Ji Mu heard it countless times.
"Anyway, you can't wrong her, she must have what others have." Ji Huai emphasized again, and said helplessly, "I have wronged her enough these years, so I can't wrong her in this matter."
Ji Mu looked at him, it was the meat that fell from his body. Looking at him like this, she can only say that she loves the house and treats Sun Ya very carefully.
When Ji Huai brought people back for New Year's greetings, Ji Mu deliberately cooked a large table of dishes.
Sun Ya was a little nervous at first, and her grandmother also told her to observe the atmosphere in his home, observe the way his parents get along, and pay special attention to his parents' attitude towards you.
Ji Mu's attitude towards her
Sun Ya only felt enthusiastic, very enthusiastic.
I served her with vegetables during dinner, and cut fruit for her after dinner. When sitting and chatting, I could feel Ji Mu's attention to her and seemed to like her very much.
Her mood gradually calmed down from the initial anxiety.
Ji Mu kept saying: "You are all busy at work, and Xiao Huai is also busy. I didn't bring you back to play more. I will come back to play more in the future."
"Xiao Huai said that you are very nice and likable, and I also like it when I look at it. If you are my daughter-in-law, I don't have to worry about him. You can have a good life, and I and his dad can rest assured."
"After waiting for a while, his father and I will go to see your parents, and our family will sit down for a while, Xiaoya, do you think it's okay?"
When she left Ji’s house, Ji’s mother gave her a red envelope and told her to accept it,
My aunt doesn’t know what you like, and she didn’t buy it for you. You should dress up more."
She was evading, Ji Huai took it and stuffed her bag, "Take it."
Sun Ya feels quite thick. It's not easy for Ji's father and his mother to make money, so I didn't feel embarrassed to ask, so I told him when I walked downstairs.
Ji Huai put one hand in his pocket, holding her with the other hand, "Then you marry me early, so that it becomes your own money, and the left hand is given to the right hand, right?"
She snorted and pushed him softly like a baby.
Ji Huai sent her back. The grandson's family were all at home. Seeing her back, his grandmother quickly asked, "How are his parents? How are they getting along?"
As soon as she spoke, the grandson family also looked over.
"It's easy to get along with." Sun Ya was changing shoes, with a smile on her lips, obviously in a good mood.
"Did you give you a red envelope?" Sister Sun asked her while holding her.
Their custom here, the first time they come to the door is to give a meeting ceremony, the representative agrees, everyone is very concerned about this matter, some older generations will compare it.
"Well, it seems a lot." Sun Ya took out a red envelope from the bag. She didn't see how much money it had, but thought it was quite thick.
The grandmother walked over to see that there was a stack of brand-new red banknotes in the red envelope, and a piece of one yuan.
You don't need to count, you can guess it at a glance, ten thousand and one, which means one out of ten.
The amount of this red envelope is indeed a lot, the Ji family is not very rich, and few people around take such a high meeting gift, the Sun family is still slightly surprised.
They have not objected to the two getting married now, but are very satisfied with the behavior of the Ji family. The man’s attitude is there, so that people don’t think they look down on Sun Ya, at least they value it.
Sun Ya watched the expressions of her grandparents, pursed her lips and smiled and said, "My aunt said that she will come to see you in a few days. It should be about the engagement. You should talk carefully. You can't embarrass people or ask too much. Too much."
The grandmother looked at her like that and reached out to nod her forehead, "Look at your way, do you smile like a flower when you go to Ji’s house today? People don’t think you are more anxious than you hate you when you see it. Marry? Girls need to be more reserved."
"Where is it?" Sun Ya's smile remained undiminished, and she denied, "It is because he is anxious to get married, but I am not anxious, so I don't hate marrying."
The grandmother looked at her confident look and couldn't help but joked, "Since I'm not in a hurry, wait any longer? Ji Huai hasn't come back yet, so I'm anxious to get engaged and get married? I don't have a house, and the conditions at home are average. , You are doing a good job now, do you want to stop picking, maybe there is a better one?"
"No!" Sun Ya was anxious, "it's him, don't pick. He will come back when we are sure, we will buy the house later, it doesn't matter if we buy a smaller house, it's him anyway."
"Don't wait?" Grandmother squinted and smiled.
"No." She shook her head firmly, and repeated again, "it's him."
The grandmother was still smiling. Originally, she had some opinions on Ji Huai, but since Ji's father fell ill and the other party was busy, the more important thing is to be able to take on things, not to escape. They also believe that in the future their daughter will encounter difficulties, at least the other party will not abandon her.
Although the Ji family's family situation is not very good, but the young man Ji Huai is still satisfied.
That night, grandfather also said to Sun Ya at the dinner table: "Choose to be with him. You may not be rich in your life, and your life will not be so rich. The pressure is still a little bit. But he is not bad, mediocre. Just live it lightly, if you think it’s good, then it’s good, just don’t regret it."
Ji Huai is still young and capable, so he won't suffer hardship with him. After all, the other party's income is slightly higher than the local average, but he can't live a life without economic pressure.
"I don't want to be rich and wealthy." Sun Ya is still self-aware, and she is not so beautiful, she is so good that she can't match it, and marrying a good family must also have some compromise and dedication.
She and Ji Huai have a relationship foundation, and both of them are working hard, and life will be better.
Marriage is very trivial and boring, and most of it will be a chicken feather, so she still wants to marry someone she likes very much, and she wants to marry him.
The grandson didn't say anything, he agreed.
The date of the engagement banquet was quickly determined, and the two relatives had a meal together to discuss the matter of marriage.
Three golds and one diamond and the betrothal gift are not at all, and they are considered to be relatively high in the local area.
Grandmother and grandfather are also satisfied. Grandfather's situation is stable now, and his body is recovering well. The family is no longer so nervous. They also proposed to give Sun Ya a little dowry.
The two families are ordinary people, and they are discussing whether to do a down payment for a small car, or give a lucky number to the young couple as the family's start-up capital.
The young couple had a good relationship, and they looked happy. Both parents tried their best to make concessions. They ate a meal in harmony and joy with constant laughter. Many wedding details were quickly settled.
Ji Huai will probably be back in the middle of the year, so the wedding is scheduled for National Day.
As for the wedding room, the parents of both parties discussed more in detail at the engagement banquet.
Father Ji said, "The educational resources in our county are indeed not good. To buy a house in the provincial capital, you have to buy a good school district. The two of them have enough to live in. Small two rooms, but a good school district."
The grandson also agreed, "Yes, the problem of children's school education cannot be ignored. It must be close to the vegetable market and convenient transportation. All these must be considered."
Ji Mu also joined: "Now there are many unfinished buildings, risky. Many people can't get a house after paying off their loans. They have to buy existing houses and decorate themselves."
Sun Ya and Ji Huai looked at each other, and they were talking about having a baby. Ji's mother and grandmother also talked about what supplements the relatives in the family would eat during confinement. Sun Ya couldn't help it, kicked Ji Huai lightly with her foot under the table, and motioned to him with her eyes.
Ji Huai paid out a bonus at the end of the year. He worked very hard overtime this year, so the bonus was barely six figures. It didn’t take long for her to join the job, but the year-end bonus was also tens of thousands, plus the money they had saved before. The down payment is enough, but there must be no money left.
But the house is there, and everything else is easy to say. They want to stabilize their children for two years, so that their relationship can be stable and stable in their marriage, and then they can become parents.
Ji Huai received her prompt and interrupted the two parents, "I don't want children for the time being."
As soon as he said this, four pairs of sharp eyes swept towards him, very sharp, he seemed to have done something terribly wrong, Sun Ya felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet beside him.
Marry or not have children?
What's up?
Without children, how can the four elders have children to play with? After giving birth, their eyes will not be on the two of them, of course on the child.
"The child has to wait for a financial foundation to have a child, otherwise Xiaoya will be under great psychological pressure, and I will also be under great pressure to make money, and life will be difficult. I will first come back to look for a job, try to find a higher salary, and then consider this matter." Found a reasonably perfect reason.
In fact, he has been thinking about the world of two people for a few years. It is impossible to have a child quickly. Later, he said that he must first get married and tie people up.
Both parents reluctantly accepted this reason, but their eyes were cold. They scolded him again and told Sun Ya not to listen to him.
Sun Ya echoed with a smile, looking at Ji Huai, whose head was drooping under scolding, his eyes slowly stained with a thicker smile. :,,
