"The second wife's daughter was also on that boat. He had arranged to take the first wife to the United States for medical treatment some time ago, so she didn't come on board. Judging from what he said, he probably wants to find a son-in-law for his daughter later."

Xu Manman was shocked. It is said that even a tiger will not eat its own cubs. Although the mother had a stain, she did not let her own daughter off.

However, his eldest surviving daughter was not necessarily doing well either. Because of the harm done by the concubines, she became mentally ill. Even if she was cured, in the eyes of her father, she would probably only be a reproductive tool for proliferating the bloodline.

Xu Manman concluded, "Your circle is still a mess. If men don't cheat, why would there be so many troubles later?" She poked Jin Zichu's chest and said, "I hope you will take this as a warning."

Xiao Jin grabbed her hand and said, "Xiao Jin's body and mind will always belong to Man Man. I hope Man Man won't get tired of the old and love the new." Otherwise, it will only be crazier than that man.

Xu Manman smiled and leaned forward to take a sniff. "Manman is also Xiao Jin's, beautiful lady, please sleep with me."

The beauty took on the task without hesitation.

A few hours later, the entire Arhat bed became a mess, and Xu Manman was lying on Jin Zichu, barely able to breathe.

The courtyard where Xu Manman and Xiao Jin lived was originally composed of a five-courtyard complex and two three-courtyard complexes.

At the beginning, there were quite a lot of houses, big and small, and one of them was a messy remodeled tenement.

When Jin Zichu rebuilt it later, the courtyard with five courtyards and the two courtyards with three courtyards were preserved, and other buildings that were inconsistent with the style were basically demolished.

So now there is a large garden in the yard. It is better to say that the yard surrounds the garden than to say that there are several courtyards dotted in the garden.

Behind Qingyunxuan where the children play, there is a large plum garden.

Over the past few years, these plum trees have grown exceptionally well. When the first snow fell, the ground was covered in white, and the plum branches were still covered in snow, with the red and pink plum blossoms among them looking particularly eye-catching.

If a literary youth were in this situation, he would definitely recite a poem.

But Xu Manman didn't have such a literary heart. She looked at the snowy scene, turned around and said excitedly to Jin Zichu, "Let's barbecue."

Jin Zichu pulled the white rabbit fur cloak on Xu Manman and said, "Okay."

"Right in the pavilion. We also need to cook hot pot and cut more lamb and beef."

With such a beautiful view, it would be a bit monotonous for just the two of them to eat, so Xu Manman went back to the house, picked up the phone and dialed one by one.

An hour later, their plum garden became bustling with activity.

Not only my parents, younger brother and sister-in-law, and cousins-in-law who lived nearby, but also my uncle's family in the compound, even the Zhou and Wang families came with their whole families to join in the fun.

After all, it snowed and the temperature outside was still very low. There were also elderly people and children there. It would not be a beautiful scene if they caught a cold.

It would not be practical to barbecue and eat hotpot in the pavilion, but fortunately there is a glass greenhouse in the garden on the other side, and the surrounding scenery is not inferior to the plum garden.

Because Xu Manman likes to stay here, the greenhouse is decorated very comfortably, with an iron stove, and the temperature is no lower than that of a house with a fire dragon burning.

Because there were so many people, we simply didn't use a round table. We put several square tables together, put pots and baking trays on each table, and the same dishes were served on each table. This way, everyone in the family can eat well and it will be more lively.

Liu Li took a bite of the roasted beef that Zhou Ming brought over, and sighed in her heart, she really is worthy of being Xu Manman, looking at the life this couple lives, it's really like a fairy tale. Although they have no children, they live better than anyone else present.

Wang Ruxia was so engrossed in eating that she couldn't even lift her head. She didn't know if it was because she was eating at her idol's aunt's house, but she felt that the food tasted especially delicious: the barbecue smelled delicious, the meat being boiled in the pot smelled delicious, and the dipping sauce smelled delicious too.

Xu Lei had already raised his glass with his brother and comrades.

Xu Manman's family does have quite a few bottles of 1982 Lafite, as well as Burgundy, Remy Martin XO and other foreign liquors. However, Xu Lei's favorite is still Haishi's rice wine, while Wang Yang prefers Maotai.

Instead, Xu Gang and Zhou Ming's father Zhou Xuejun opened a bottle of XO. The young people were obviously more interested in foreign liquor. Chen Ming, Xu Jianjun, Zhou Ming and others came over with cups in hand.

The ladies also had a few drinks today. Li Fang and Zhou Fen drank pure wine, while Xu Manman and the rest of the people started a new way of drinking - wine mixed with Sprite.

Although this way of drinking is not very popular in later generations, it is still a relatively fashionable way of drinking now, and is especially friendly to women who are not used to the taste of alcohol.

As for the children, they were especially happy to have a glass of soda.
