Traveling through 70's wine

Chapter 158 In-laws

Wen Qing was very happy when she learned that both factories had reaped rewards at the Canton Fair. Changxia fruit wine had entered the US market and the liquor had also signed orders, which showed that her wine was of good quality.

She designed the two main products of the bicycle factory. She felt that her efforts were not in vain as they were recognized by customers.

This year, Schindler Bicycle Factory's output will reach more than 30 bicycles, and the company's profit is expected to exceed 1000 million yuan, and she will also receive more than 200 million yuan.

A week later, Zhuang Xien came back, and with him came his parents and his younger brother's family.

Zhuang Xien apologized to Wen Qing privately: "Xiao Qing, I didn't expect them to come to Kyoto, but my parents have already proposed it, and I have no reason to refuse."

Wen Qing asked: "Who farms their family's land?"

Zhuang Xien said: "This year's crops have been harvested, and my uncle will help with the rest. There is nothing to do at home in winter, and my younger brothers also want to work and earn money in winter."

Wen Qing nodded and arranged the two elders in the upstairs guest rooms and her brother's family in the downstairs guest rooms.

When Zhuang's mother saw the brand new sheets and quilts, she said happily, "Dad, I never dreamed that we could go to Kyoto and live in such a nice house. Our son has really made great progress."

Zhuang's father also said: "It is our blessing to have a capable child. From now on, you can enjoy the blessing of being the eldest."

Zhuang's younger brother Zhuang Xiying said, "Lanhua, it's so nice here."

Zhuang's sister-in-law Lanhua said, "Son, when you grow up you must buy a big house for your parents to live in."

Patting the child in her arms, their 2-year-old son, Xiao Shitou, blinked his big eyes and asked, "Mom, how can we buy a big house?"

Lanhua ignored him and asked, "Brother Ying, do you think our sister-in-law will be angry if we don't tell her in advance?"

Zhuang Xiying said: "No way, we are a family."

"That's right. We haven't split up. We are all family members. Why should we separate?"

The next morning, after Zhuang's father and mother got up, they found Wen Qing eating breakfast. Zhuang's mother looked at her unhappily and was about to speak, but Zhuang's father pulled her and she shut up in time.

Wen Qing said, "Mom and Dad, are you guys up? Did you sleep well last night? The towels and toothbrushes are in the bathroom, go wash up, the food is in the pot."

When Zhuang's father and mother came back, Wen Qing had already left.

Zhuang's mother complained, "My daughter-in-law doesn't know the rules. She ate first and left without saying a word."

Zhuang's father said, "Maybe all the people in the city are like this. Let's eat by ourselves."

After a while, Zhuang Xien went downstairs and saw his parents eating. He hurriedly asked, "Dad, Mom, are you up?"

He hurriedly washed and ate, and when he left, he took out 20 yuan and gave it to Zhuang's father and mother. "Dad, Mom, you can go for a walk around the area when you have time. You can eat lunch by yourselves. Xiaoqing and I won't be home. Ask Xiying and the others to think about what to do."

After Zhuang's mother cleaned the yard and the kitchen, Zhuang Xiying and his wife came out with their child.

Zhuang's father told his youngest son what Zhuang Xien had said, and Zhuang Xiying said, "I want to follow my eldest brother."

Everyone in the village said that Zhuang Xien made a lot of money, and he also wanted to make a lot of money.

Lanhua said, "I'll follow Xiying."

Father Zhuang nodded and said, "I'll tell the eldest brother when he comes back."

Zhuang's mother said, "Okay, you go out and make money, and I'll take care of the children for you."

After washing Little Stone's face, she carried him to a chair and handed him a bun. Little Stone took a bite and said, "Mom, it's a meat bun. It's delicious."

Younger Zhuang stretched out his hand and said to his father, "Dad, Lanhua and I want to go out for a walk and buy two pieces of clothes. We are going to work, so we need to dress nicely."

Father Zhuang looked at his gray and patched clothes and gave him ten yuan, saying, "Don't spend it carelessly."

Brother Zhuang and Lanhua went out happily.

When Wen Qing came back in the evening, she found some pickles on the coffee table in the living room. Zhuang's mother waved to her, "Xiao Qing, these are the pickles I brought for you. The eldest brother likes the pickles I make the most."

Wen Qing was puzzled because she had never seen Zhuang Xien like to eat pickles.

She nodded and said, "Thank you, Mom."

I walked over and asked, "How do you preserve these pickles?"

Zhuang's mother said, "Put it in a jar and turn it upside down in a bowl of water, it will keep it longer."

Wen Qing took Zhuang's mother to the kitchen, put the pickles into a clean ceramic jar and pressed them down, poured water into the jar, and placed a bowl upside down on the jar. She then introduced the various kitchen utensils in the kitchen to Zhuang's mother, "Mom, you may need them when you cook in the future."

Zhuang's mother said, "Okay, I don't know how to use it yet."

Wen Qing said: "It's okay, this is easy, you can do it after watching me do it a few times."

Wen Qing found that the kitchen was still cold and no one was cooking. Zhuang's mother hurriedly said, "Xiao Qing, hurry up and cook. Xiao Shitou is hungry."

"Mom, there is rice and vegetables at home, you can cook and eat early."

Zhuang's mother said awkwardly, "Aren't you waiting for you to get off work?"

Wen Qing poked open the coal stove, added a piece of coal, and fanned it with a fan to make the coal in the stove burn faster.

He filled a kettle with water and put it on the stove to boil before cutting the vegetables. He then took out a piece of meat from the water tank and cut it into slices.

For dinner, Wen Qing steamed rice, stir-fried pork with twice-cooked pork, scrambled eggs with cabbage, shredded potatoes, and cabbage vermicelli. There are five adults and one child in the family, so she cooked a large amount of food and served it on the table.

The family sat down together. Father Zhuang waited for Mother Zhuang to serve him more rice. Just as he was about to start eating, Zhuang Xien arrived home. Seeing that it was already eight o'clock, he asked, "You guys are just having dinner?"

Today, a client signed a contract in his store, and the two sides talked for a while. He got off work quite late, and thought he would just go home and make do for the night. He was very surprised to see that everyone hadn't started eating yet.

Wen Qing didn't explain, but just said: "Brother Zhuang is back? Hurry up and wash your hands and eat."

After dinner, Zhuang Xien was about to wash the dishes, but his mother grabbed him and said, "Boss, I have something to tell you."

Several people swarmed out of the kitchen, and Wen Qing had to stay behind to clean up by herself.

Zhuang Xien said, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Zhuang's father said, "Boss, do you still need someone in your store? Let your brother go to work with you, and you can just give him some wages."

Younger Zhuang said quickly, "Dad, there are orchids."

He turned to Zhuang Xien and said, "Brother, Lanhua also needs to find something to do."

Zhuang Xien thought for a moment and said, "Okay, you guys go to the store with me tomorrow."

Zhuang's mother said, "San'er and his wife don't have clothes to wear to work. Find some clothes for them."

Today, two of them took ten yuan to buy clothes, but found that the cheapest clothes in the store cost more than ten yuan. They were reluctant to spend the money and went home empty-handed.

Zhuang Xien said, "Can't they go buy it tomorrow? My and Xiaoqing's clothes don't fit them."

Zhuang's mother said, "Why buy it? Just alter the clothes. It's not worth spending that money."

As Zhuang's mother spoke, she went upstairs to Zhuang Xien and Wen Qing's room, opened the bedroom door, and looked at the furniture in the room, "I'll get two pieces of clothing."

He unceremoniously opened Wen Qing's closet and took out two sweaters, two coats, a cotton jacket, and a pair of trousers. He also said, "Xiao Qing has so many clothes. Even if you give me a few, the rest will be enough for her to wear."

Zhuang Xien said uneasily: "Don't touch Xiaoqing's things."

Zhuang's mother said, "What's wrong with the daughter-in-law giving her mother-in-law a few old clothes? She should have taken the initiative to give them. How dare she say that? I hope I won't go to her workplace and make a scene."

He added: "Boss, you are the head of the family, don't let your wife take control of you."

He left with the clothes.
