Chapter 334: Telephone Conversation

This is the first time my aunt's house is so lively.

Because of Yueyue’s birth, Captain Xu’s family of six collectively took leave and adjusted their vacation time to come back for the New Year.

There were suddenly more than a dozen people in the family, including several young boys, who had to eat half a jar of rice a day.

Huang Ling arranged rice, oil, meat, vegetables, snacks and drinks in advance. There were many people in the family who could cook, so it was not difficult.

At night, some people sleep on beds and some sleep on the floor. The room is full.

But my aunt was extremely happy.

Captain Xu's eldest son Xu Yunyang and his newlywed wife Jiang Yuqing both work in Beijing. His second son Xu Yunchi and third son Xu Yunhui are both in high school. All three have the same cheerful temperament as their father.

In a room full of boys, Xiaoting and Yueyue are still our favorites.

When the team leader's wife Yuan Yizhen saw that Xiaoting was obedient and well-behaved, she whispered to her daughter-in-law Jiang Yuqing that it would be best to have a daughter in the future.

"I get a headache every time I think about the three boys at home. They have to fight 800 times a day. Not only do they fight with our own kids, but they also fight with other kids. Every month, they spend a lot of my salary on apologies."

Huang Ling and Jiang Yuqing could imagine the scene and laughed.

"Even though our Xiaoting doesn't fight, she has had a lot of arguments. People nicknamed her 'Iron-Mouthed Ting'. But I won't apologize because it must be someone else's fault." Huang Ling said as she looked at Xiaoting who was reading a book obediently not far away.

Jiang Yuqing sighed, "I'm so envious. I'm just tongue-tied. I want to curse but can't. I just get angry myself."

She talked about going out for a walk with her aunt and Xiaoting yesterday.

My aunt was extremely satisfied with her eldest grandson's wife and took her around to show her off.

Neighbors gathered around to chat.

One woman asked, "You've been married for almost a year, and you're still not pregnant! My eldest daughter-in-law got pregnant at three months."

Jiang Yuqing blushed, and just as her aunt was about to speak, she heard Xiaoting chuckle:

"That's because of you."

My aunt and Jiang Yuqing looked at Xiaoting at the same time, looking confused.

The old lady was also surprised and said: "What does it have to do with me?"

"Yeah! It's none of your business. If you have time, you should think about what to eat for dinner! Don't make it too salty, otherwise you will have to wake up at night after drinking too much water."

Xiaoting had an obedient expression and spoke softly. From a distance, it looked like she was just answering questions from an elder.

The old lady was stunned when she heard this and turned away angrily.

My aunt and Jiang Yuqing laughed for a long time, holding their stomachs at the door.

"This is the true teaching from your aunt. You haven't seen your aunt. She can scold people with a smile, and then you will cry for three days when you go back and think about it." My aunt said while rubbing her belly.

Huang Ling knew that Xiaoting had argued with someone yesterday because the "bianduidui system" had made a payment.

Huang Ling felt relieved because her aunt was there. Xiaoting couldn't win the scolding because her aunt was there, so she didn't ask about it.

Speaking of income, Huang Ling remembered an income that Tuanan had received before he came back. She didn't want to ask Tuanan who he had quarreled with. She couldn't ask him every time there was income, as that would be too obvious. Besides, judging from the price, she should not have suffered any loss.

That day she asked Xiaoting and her brother what they did in the day. Xiaoting told her that they studied in the morning and went to buy clothes for Aunt Zhu in the afternoon. After buying clothes, brother Hongbin sent her home and his brother went to see sister Xingyan.

Huang Ling knew it was probably because of Gu Xingyan.

As everyone was chatting, the phone in the room rang. In the first two years, Captain Xu and Zhou Huaiyi each paid half of the money to install a telephone at home. There were only two elderly people at home, and they were not very reassured.

Tunan had been sitting on the sofa next to the phone reading all day, and when the phone rang, he picked up the call.

The call was from Lin Dongzhe. After talking to Tuanan for a while, he let Huang Ling answer the phone.

My aunt laughed and said, "This child, he can't bear to be apart for a few days! If he hadn't returned to Fujian, I would have brought him here to play. Look, our house is so lively, he really loves lively places."

Tunan nodded. "He actually wants to come. He keeps asking for the fried meatballs that my uncle makes."

"That's not easy. You can come and stay for a few days when he comes back. However, he seldom goes back to Fujian, so he might not be used to it. I'm afraid he misses you." Aunt said with concern.

Huang Ling finished the call and looked up, "Xiaoting, Dongzhe said he wants to ask you about your homework."

"Oh!" Xiaoting got up and answered the phone.

Huang Ling was about to suffer internal injuries from holding it in.

It's amazing that he can even think of doing homework. Did you bring your homework?

As expected, Xiaoting asked as soon as she answered the phone: "Did you bring your homework?"

Huang Ling rushed out the door, turned into the kitchen and started laughing wildly, scaring her uncle and Zhou Huaiyi who were cooking.

Zhou Huaiyi asked hurriedly: "Tell me quickly, what's so funny?"

"You don't understand, you don't understand." Huang Ling waved her hands.

"I don't understand yet. It must be up to no good! Let me think about who he has buried in the trap again! It's either Xiaochi or Xiaohui." Zhou Huaiyi said with a smile.

After only a few days of getting along, the two children were conquered by Huang Ling and often willingly fell into the trap she dug.

"No, no, these two guys have been trained in a few days, and they won't do anything now." Huang Ling finally stopped laughing.

Zhou Huaiyi raised his chin and motioned her to look into the pot.

Huang Ling leaned over to take a look and saw that it was a scallion pancake, crispy and crispy.

She mentioned it yesterday and ate it today.

Xiaoting, who was on the phone in the living room, just listened attentively. It was basically Lin Dongzhe who was talking alone.

"Sea fish is delicious too, but you probably don't like it."

"Earthworm jelly, do you know what it is?"

Then Dongzhe started describing the situation, and Xiaoting exclaimed "Huh~", which made Dongzhe very happy.

"Since you like shrimp, I brought you some dried shrimp! They're not heavy, don't worry."

After finishing what he wanted to say, Dongzhe asked again:

"Is there room for you at my aunt's house? You haven't recognized your bed in a few days! Don't read books all day, or you'll go blind!"

Xiaoting glanced at the people in the room and didn't know what to say, so she just said "hmm".

She paused for a moment, and Dongzhe on the other end of the phone seemed to understand and said:

"You have a lot of family, right? I have to travel quite far to call you from here, so I can't call you every day. I'll call you... you guys in a couple of days."

The two hung up the phone.

For some reason, Xiaoting felt strange.

She felt that she was weird, and Lin Dongzhe was weird too.

Xiaoting left the position that was most convenient for answering the phone, and not long after, Tuanan sat down again.

In the afternoon, the phone rang again, and it was Tunan who answered the phone again. This time he didn't ask anyone else to answer it.

Zhou Huaiyi, who was tidying up the flower jars in the yard, said to Huang Ling, who was helping with the scissors:

"This phone call is worth it!"

Huang Ling nodded: "Yes, I've been waiting for a day."

The call didn't last long. Because Professor Gu's house didn't have a telephone, Gu Xingyan called from a pay phone in the family quarters. Tuanan was afraid that she would feel cold standing outside while making the call.

When they hung up, they agreed on a time for Tu Nan to come back and call back.

The two had previously agreed to call each other back and forth.

The separation of just a few days has made my longing for you grow stronger, and I can’t hold back my excitement at seeing you again, and it’s always on my eyebrows and the corners of my mouth.

Yu Xingyan, Yu Tunan, Yu Xiaoting, and Yu Dongzhe are all like this.
