"Dad, you said you should help me trim some of the thirty-six legs when Yu Li and I get married." At the dinner table, Yan Jiecheng talked about Yu Li's request.

"Hey, you kid, you are eating, why are you talking about this?" The third uncle took a sip of wine.

"Boss, don't talk about this while eating." The third aunt also said with an unhappy look.

"Mom and Dad, you said that whoever gets married now will be given a house. There is nothing in the house except a bed."

"Let's not talk about seventy-two legs. No matter what, you have to get a few benches and a whole wardrobe."

"In this bare room, I am still a bachelor."

"After getting married, we can't all sit on the bed with friends and colleagues. That would be ridiculous." Even though he knew that this topic would make everyone unhappy, Yan Jiecheng still wanted to fight for it again.

"That's easy to say. It costs nothing to buy these. You usually eat, drink and wear clothes for free." The third uncle didn't even raise his head.

"As for the money, as long as you give me the money, let alone thirty-six legs, a bicycle, and a sewing machine, I will arrange it for you." The third aunt said and did not delay her eating the steamed buns.

"Hey, you said it costs money to raise us. Since the day I started working, I have paid 27 yuan out of my monthly salary of 32 yuan and 50 cents, and you only left me 5 yuan and 50 cents."

"A few days ago, you told me that you don't have to pay so much in the future, and you only need to give you two a monthly pension of 5 yuan."

"Originally, I thought that my parents have been planning for this family all their lives, and they will stop planning when they see the younger generation getting married. How can I think that you are so kind?"

"Isn't it because Yu Li has no formal job and will have a few more children? She can only rely on my salary. You are afraid that I will hurt you." After hearing that the third uncle and the third aunt raised money, Yan Jiecheng simply said

Tear off the last face.

"This is what I'm talking about today. If you don't buy some furniture, from now on, let alone 27 yuan, and you can't mention the 5 yuan in the future." After saying this, Yan Jiecheng

He slammed the door and left in anger.

"Hey, I said you...!" The third uncle wanted to say something else, but Yan Jiecheng didn't even look back.

"Eat quickly, take a shower early, turn off the lights and go to bed. The electricity bill is free." Looking at the three children left on the table, the third aunt said angrily.

It was late at night, and all the lights in the courtyard were turned off.

The third aunt tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.

"Hey, why are you up so late at night?" The third uncle didn't fall asleep either.

"Lao Yan, I said we really don't want to buy some furniture for the boss." Thinking of the way the boss slammed the door and walked out, the third aunt still couldn't bear it.

"Oh, the boss said it lightly."

"Why do colleagues need stools if they don't have a place to sit?"

"I'm obviously talking with a stool, but secretly I'm asking for big things like a wardrobe and a desk." The third uncle said, blinking his wise mung bean-sized eyes.

"Hey, things like wardrobes and desks are not cheap. Last time I heard from my aunt that the young couple in the West Courtyard bought a set for more than 200 yuan."

"Then we can't agree." It's so expensive, not to mention the third uncle and the third aunt are not willing to do it.

"That's right, if you buy a big wardrobe and a writing desk, you also need a sofa and a sewing machine."

"According to this calculation, even if we only buy a large wardrobe and a desk, the monthly pension of 5 yuan will give us more than 3 years to pay for it. If we buy other things, we will have to put them on the coffin." No matter when the third uncle comes,

Still don’t forget to calculate.

"That's not possible. We would rather not get the 5 yuan alimony than buy it."

"You still see things clearly. After you said it, I feel much more comfortable." After listening to the third uncle's analysis, the third aunt no longer had a sullen face.

"That's not it. It's getting late. Go to bed early."

"Oh, I haven't finished speaking yet."

"Isn't this the end of the conversation? Is there anything else?"

"Lao Yan, do you think we should invite some tables in the courtyard for the boss's wedding?"

"Then I must invite you. Otherwise, I've been working so hard since I woke up early recently."

"What should we do? There are more than 30 people from more than ten households in this courtyard, plus people from our family and in-laws, why can't we have five tables?"

"The gifts are either thermos bottles or pots and pans. It's only 3 and 5 cents. We can't lose everything." When it came to the banquet, the third aunt began to worry again.

"Otherwise, you are a woman and don't know how to scheme."

"If you succeed, tell me your method."

"Recently I go fishing early in the morning and late at night. I have a relationship and sell the big ones to the steel rolling mill, but they are not cheap at 15 cents per catty. The small ones are only 5 cents per catty. I think it is not cost-effective. They are all kept in the big tank under the eaves.

Keep it alive and leave it to the boss to hold a banquet when the time comes."

"Tomorrow, I will give the second child some food stamps and ask him to go to Zuojiazhuang to exchange for some sweet potatoes, potatoes and green vegetables."

"Now the staple food and dishes are not all available."

"Whether we charge 3 yuan or 5 yuan, we will still make a profit. By then, we will no longer have any dignity." As he spoke, the third uncle himself laughed.

"Hey, if you still have a way, let's do it like this." As soon as she was worried, the third aunt felt sleepy and said sleepily.

The old couple in the room were chatting happily, but Yan Jiecheng outside the window was really chilled.

He originally wanted to come over and discuss with his parents to give him some extra benches at home so that the room would not look empty. Who would have ever wanted to hear such chilling words from his parents?

Instead of humiliating myself, I turned around and walked outside.

Just after passing the hanging flower gate, I met Jiang Che who had returned from urinating in the public toilet.

"Brother Jie Cheng, it's so late and you haven't slept yet." Jiang Che said hello, handed over a cigarette, took out a match and lit it.

"Cough! Cough!"

"Hey, blame me. I forgot that you don't know how to." Jiang Che quickly patted Yan Jiecheng's back to relieve the cough.

"Upset, if you have nothing to do, go back to my room and let the two brothers chat." Yan Jiecheng's face turned red after coughing, but he did not throw away the cigarette in his hand, and took another tentative puff.

"Shuanzi, you heard that I'm getting married soon."

"I heard from Third Aunt that last time the new sister-in-law came to play, Third Aunt even showed off to us."

"That look, that figure. I really envy Brother Jie Cheng for marrying such a beautiful wife."

"Why is there something unexpected happening with my sister-in-law?" Speaking of Yan Jiecheng's unmarried daughter-in-law Yu Li, there is no one in the Xikuoyuan who can compare to her appearance, let alone the Siheyuan. She is so good-looking.

"Shuanzi, look at my room. Apart from a bed, I don't even need a bedside table. There's not even a stool."

"The third uncle can't wait until your wedding day is approaching before making arrangements for you."

"Oh, what to do? I get angry when I talk about this."

Yan Jiecheng told Jiang Che everything he heard at the dinner table today and just outside the third uncle's house.

"Well, every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. Long live your understanding." I knew that the third uncle and his wife were stingy, but I didn't expect them to be so calculating about their own son. They are really a pair of strange parents, but they can't talk too much in front of their son.
