Chapter 022: The Zhang Family, My Mother's Family!
"Mother!"
"My uncle bought us so many things..."
As soon as I got home.
The eight children couldn't help but shout and yell, as if they had received something to show off.
I was so happy!
Laughter and cheerful voices filled the entire courtyard.
"Hiro!"
Why did you buy them all that stuff?
"Exactly!"
"What a waste of money..."
Fang Hui and the other three immediately complained.
My younger brother doesn't earn a single penny; the money he spends is probably given to him by our parents and other relatives.
They are now married and have wives.
The economic and living pressures will definitely increase as a result.
Money should be spent wisely!
"fine!"
Fang Hao shook his head.
They didn't care about such a small amount of money.
The money earned from selling crabs was just enough to spend.
"Hiro!"
"Your parents-in-law should be arriving soon, we need to hurry and prepare to welcome them..."
Fang Hui then spoke.
It's already past nine o'clock.
Song Yaxin's family should be arriving soon.
Fang Dayong and his four sons-in-law went out to town to buy things and haven't returned yet. Chen Fenglan isn't home either, so they had no choice but to send Fang Hao over.
They were daughters who had married out of the country.
It wouldn't be appropriate for him to personally entertain the Song family.
"They're here!"
Speak of the devil and he shall appear.
The Song family finally arrived.
There was a huge, dark crowd outside the door.
There were more than twenty people in total, including men, women, and children.
After all, according to local customs, the bride's immediate family members are required to come and visit her family.
Song Yaxin has two siblings.
There is also an uncle and a aunt.
……
"father in law!"
"mother in law!"
Fang Hao immediately took the initiative to go up and greet him.
If it were the old him, he certainly wouldn't have had this awareness and social skills, and he even acted foolishly on his wedding day, angering the Song family.
Now that I've been reborn, I definitely can't act like that anymore!
You should know that the Song family are actually all pretty good people.
He wasn't the kind of person who was difficult to talk to or prone to causing trouble; otherwise, he wouldn't have refrained from causing trouble after learning that he was a hoodlum.
There was no tantrum or fuss about breaking off the engagement!
I'm just a little angry that I was "deceived" and worried about my daughter's future.
Unfortunately, Fang Hao from my previous life was such a scoundrel.
He didn't appreciate his good wife Song Yaxin, and instead spent his time doing nothing, causing trouble, and making a mess of their otherwise good life.
To be honest!
Apart from his parents and four older sisters, there was probably no one else who liked or respected him.
Who in their right mind would like thugs and hooligans?
They would definitely avoid it like the plague!
"Um."
Song Shengxing responded.
However, he didn't have much of a smile on his face.
If it weren't for his daughter's sake, he wouldn't even bother to visit her parents' home. I doubt anyone would want a scoundrel as their son-in-law.
However, I was still a little surprised.
Fang Hao seemed a little off today; he even took the initiative to greet people.
"Please sit here first."
"Have a cup of tea..."
Fang Hao continued to greet everyone warmly.
When your parents-in-law visit, you must be courteous and respectful.
The four older sisters had already prepared tea, candy, and cookies in the main hall to entertain the Song family.
"OK!"
Song Shengxing's expression softened somewhat.
She wasn't so cold towards Fang Hao either.
After all, her daughter had already been involved with the other party, so even if she felt helpless and uncomfortable, she couldn't show it too obviously.
To avoid making things difficult for my own daughter!
Where are your parents?
Song Shengxing glanced at it briefly.
Only the four older sisters were busy in the courtyard.
Fang Dayong and Chen Fenglan were not seen.
"They went out to town to buy things."
"They should be back around that time..."
Fang Hao was not intimidated at all.
Respond and greet each other in a generous and open manner.
They were people who had lived for at least fifty years in their previous lives.
"oh."
Song Shengxing nodded.
Then he didn't say anything more.
His gaze involuntarily fell on Song Yaxin beside him, and he found that she seemed to be in good spirits.
There wasn't a trace of unhappiness on his face!
For a moment, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Judging from her appearance, she seems to be doing alright.
I originally thought that she would look somewhat haggard or depressed after marrying a scoundrel.
The result was completely the opposite!
My face is flushed and my ears are burning!
"Ya Xin!"
"Come with me for a moment..."
Song's mother, Liu Xiuli, gave her a wink.
Then he led Song Yaxin into the house.
A girl who looked only seventeen or eighteen years old secretly glared at Fang Hao and followed him.
The three of them went straight into the room and closed the door!
"..."
Upon seeing this.
Fang Hao immediately understood what it meant.
This is clearly an attempt to find out what happened and cause trouble, to see if the daughter has been wronged or something.
After all, it's in accordance with local customs and traditions.
The tradition of a bride returning to her parents' home is an age-old custom, meant to provide support and backing.
……
at this time.
This is the kitchen area.
"Tsk tsk tsk!"
"Ah Hao is definitely acting a little differently today; he's been busy taking care of everyone..."
"This change is too drastic!"
Regarding Fang Hao's performance.
Fang Hui and the others also saw it all.
That was indeed somewhat unexpected!
It even made them look at him with new respect?
Is this still the same scoundrel brother they know?
"I did get a bit out of control before, but it's not too late for a prodigal son to turn over a new leaf. I just need to try my best to make a good life for myself..."
"That's right!"
The three women couldn't help but echo his sentiments.
They had only spoiled him out of necessity because he was their younger brother, and had no choice but to turn a blind eye.
There's a saying...
"A hero may not have a good wife, but a lazy man may marry a beautiful woman."
"Right now, I'm a lazy bum who's become a hero after marrying a beauty; it's truly a double blessing..."
Fang Ting couldn't help but interject with a joke.
After all, it's a miracle that his younger brother was able to marry such a beautiful boss. What man wouldn't be envious and jealous?
This is truly a great blessing!
You know, many ambitious and hardworking people want to get married but can't find a girl as beautiful as her.
"Alright!"
"Get to work!"
"The guests are already here and seated. Let's get everything ready so we can start cooking as soon as Dad and the others get back..."
Let's chat for a bit.
Fang Hui then continued giving instructions.
They need to do all the preparations.
As for cooking, that's the men's job.
It wasn't difficult for all four sons-in-law to help, since they were all sons-in-law of the Fang family.
A son-in-law is like half a son!
If my father-in-law in my hometown needs anything, I definitely have to help.
It's worth noting that the sons-in-law of Fang Dayong's four daughters are all quite good; at least they're willing to come and help with anything.
The Song family returns home for the wedding.
We ate lunch.
We need to hurry up and prepare a feast.
in fact.
These days, the food prepared isn't very varied; it's mostly just killing chickens and ducks and getting some pork.
A table should only have a few dishes!
They used a large pot heated by firewood to stir-fry the dishes.
It doesn't take much time at all!
Unlike later generations, where people would slaughter pigs and sheep, and even prepare various seafood and other aquatic products.
Different periods have different consumption levels.
In the 1990s, even having enough to eat was a problem, and even when holding a banquet, it was impossible to indulge in the luxury of lavish meals.
