Chapter 204 Ai Laibao is cheating

Lu Lin's family is better off now, and the couple is earning money, so her parents-in-law are naturally happier and are especially good to Lu Lin.

In addition, Ai Xiaoxia always brought things to Lu Lin's family when she came back, so Lu Lin was particularly favored by her husband's family.

Speaking of this, Li Shaofen couldn't stop smiling, and then said that Lu Lin was lucky to have a good sister-in-law.

Ai Xiaoxia liked this about her mother-in-law: she was good at talking. Some women who weren't so good at talking would say things like, "My daughter is lucky, my parents-in-law are good," but Li Shaofen was always nice to hear.

The same goes for Lu Lin, who always says that she is lucky to have such a good sister-in-law. Who wouldn't be happy to hear this?

At dusk, the snacks were finally ready. Lu Jingshen drove to the supply and marketing cooperative to deliver them, and Lu Guojiu followed him. Now Lu Guojiu had more interpersonal interactions and his personality had changed. In fact, he was quite sociable.

Ai Xiaoxia packed all the things for Lu Lin in a travel bag, including clothes and toys for the children, autumn clothes for the elderly, and large cotton-padded jackets for Lu Lin and her husband. She planned to ask Lu Jingshen to come back and drive Lu Lin back, otherwise all the things would be too heavy to carry.

Before Lu Jingshen and Lu Guojiu came back, Su Changzhu and his father came and brought them food. They said that they might not have time to cook, so they made dumplings and a pot of cabbage, pork belly and vermicelli stew, both of which were hot, so that they didn't have to cook in the evening.

The two in-laws have a good relationship, visit each other frequently, and are both down-to-earth people. The Su family was really thoughtful today, and the meal they sent was really very effective, otherwise they would have just thought of ordering some noodles or something to satisfy their hunger.

Moreover, their arrival was just in time for Su Changzhu to carry the travel bag back on his bicycle, so he didn't have to wait for Lu Jingshen to come back to send Lu Lin back.

Everyone was busy at the end of the year, so Lu Lin and the others didn't talk for too long and went back.

After Lu Jingshen and Lu Guojiu came back, we had dinner. Today, we ate while watching TV. Although there were only two channels, even GG found it interesting.

After dinner, Li Shaofen made a bowl of noodles. She would ferment the noodles on the 28th and steam buns on the 29th. Fermenting the noodles today and steaming buns tomorrow is also a local custom.

After the dough was fermented, Li Shaofen continued to work in the kitchen. The meat at home was ready and everything that needed to be prepared was actually prepared, but Li Shaofen was a person who could not sit still, so she started to fry peanuts, melon seeds, hazelnuts, pine nuts, etc.

Ai Xiaoxia especially likes the smell of dried fruits being fried in a big pot. That slightly burnt aroma makes people feel happy when they think of it.

Ai Xiaoxia was also standing by the stove watching. Lu Jingshen felt that his wife was sometimes very interesting. Things that everyone else thought were very ordinary were very novel to her. On the contrary, she had no interest in many new things.

While turning the melon seeds in the big pot, Li Shaofen talked to Ai Xiaoxia about the Lu family's New Year celebrations in their later years and the Lu family's past.

In fact, most elderly people like to live in rural areas after living there for a long time. Before, everyone thought that Wang Jinfeng could live with Lu Guoji's family. After all, Lu Guosheng went to work in the city and had no relatives there. It would be very lonely for Wang Jinfeng to go with him.

But Grandma Wang Jinfeng just liked the city and was willing to be a city dweller. She insisted on following her uncle Lu Guosheng to live in the city.

So in the past, Wang Jinfeng and Lu Guosheng would go back to Lu Guoji's house one or two days before the New Year to celebrate the New Year in the countryside, and then return to the city on the second and third days of the New Year. Of course, Lu Guoji and his friends would also go to the city to visit their relatives.

However, these had nothing to do with Lu Guojiu's family. They went to Lu Guoji's house on the first day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings to Wang Jinfeng, and then had a reunion dinner there, and then returned home.

Actually, the meal was not very good, but I had to go.

I don’t know if Wang Jinfeng and the others will come back for the New Year this year, because Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen know what’s happening in Lu Guosheng’s family, and they are getting a divorce. But this is the pattern every year. If they are not getting divorced, the possibility of them coming back is probably quite high.

Ai Xiaoxia told Li Shaofen about Lu Guosheng and Jiang Zhi, and also about Wang Jinfeng's days in the city. Anyway, it was quite chaotic there right now.

Li Shaofen also sighed after hearing this, because at this age, she always felt that her children were so grown up and she was still getting a divorce, which really made her life unhappy.

We were chatting when suddenly the power went out.

Lu Jingshen quickly lit the candle, brought it out to Ai Xiaoxia and Li Shaofen, and placed it on the kitchen windowsill.

Nowadays, power outages around the Chinese New Year are normal, because people usually don't use electricity, but during the Chinese New Year period, they are not so frugal and use much more electricity than usual. Overloaded electricity consumption naturally leads to short circuits and power outages.

Ai Xiaoxia stood beside the candle, playing with the wax while watching Li Shaofen fry hazelnuts.

Lu Jingyuan came out and saw Ai Xiaoxia playing with wax. He said happily, "Sister-in-law, don't you know that playing with fire means peeing on the kang?"

Ai Xiaoxia was really confused by her brother-in-law. She said to Lu Jingshen beside her, "Even though we don't beat children during the Chinese New Year, it's not even Chinese New Year yet. Can we give him a beating?"

Lu Jingshen smiled and nodded: "I think it's okay."

Lu Jingyuan realized something was wrong and ran out of the door with a cry: "The couple beat my brother."

Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen chased Lu Jingyuan out, pressed him into the snow, and tickled him until Lu Jingyuan begged for mercy, then Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen stopped.

Li Shaofen stood at the door and laughed uncontrollably. These children were really so happy.

They didn't go to bed early that night, but they still had to get up early the next day because Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen had to go to Uncle Ai's house in the morning to deliver some New Year's goods.

Not to mention Grandpa Ai's life-saving gratitude to Lu Jingshen, there is also the care that Uncle Ai and Aunt Ai have shown Ai Xiaoxia over the years.

There were a lot of gifts of cigarettes, alcohol, sugar and tea. Uncle Ai's family was doing well and they were getting by, so there was no need to give money or anything.

After they arrived, Uncle Ai warmly welcomed them into the house. Aunt Wang Cuiyun poured them hot water and took Ai Xiaoxia to the brazier to warm her hands.

After the greetings, they talked about Ai Weimin's family.

Now everyone in the village is avoiding Ai Weimin's family and no one wants to have anything to do with them.

They sold their house and completed the moving procedures after the first month of the lunar year.

The most important thing is that Ai Laibao’s fiancée’s family broke off the engagement, but Ai Laibao disagreed, and now the two families are still arguing.

Ai Xiaoxia asked in confusion, "We haven't even gotten married yet, and we haven't even paid the betrothal gifts or gone through the paperwork, so what's the big deal?"

Wang Cuiyun snorted coldly: "Ai Laibao is a scoundrel. He's always threatening to die. Every day he shows up at people's doorsteps, either ready to hang himself or take poison. I don't think this matter will end so easily."

Ai Xiaoxia knew that all of Ai Laibao's weird ideas came from Meng Qiuju, and it was probably Meng Qiuju who gave him the idea. If the engagement was cancelled, it would be difficult for Ai Laibao to get married again, so their family was determined to stick to one family.
