Deng Qingling, a recent college graduate, struggled to find work due to the pandemic, so she returned to her hometown. Her grandmother, who passed away from illness, left her a silver bracelet.
..."Mom and Dad are back, it's time to eat after washing your hands." When Deng Qingling saw Guo Youxing and his wife walk into the house, she hurriedly asked them to wash their hands. She was so hungry that her chest was sticking to her back.
"Okay, I'll be right there."
"Your sister-in-law is pregnant now, so she can't work so hard. When you go home, please help with the housework more, okay?" Liang Xueying responded to Deng Qingling, then turned to speak to her son and daughter.
"My sister-in-law is pregnant? I'm going to have a nephew or niece? Oh yeah! I'm going to be an aunt!" Guo Yu couldn't believe it when she heard that her sister-in-law was pregnant. She hurried to confirm. After all, her eldest brother got pregnant not long after getting married. She was so happy that she danced with joy.
Guo Yu is the youngest child of his generation. He envies others who have younger brothers and sisters. Now he is finally not the youngest anymore.
I’m thinking that in the future there will be a little baby who will call me auntie in a cute voice and act coquettishly with me. I’m so looking forward to it!
"Yes, you are going to be my aunt's woman, so you need to be more steady." Liang Xueying felt helpless when she saw her showing off.
"That's right, that's right," Guo Jianjun said gloatingly when he saw his mother talking about his sister laughing on the side.
"Okay, come and eat." Guo Youxing sat down at the dinner table and saw that they were still chatting, so he asked them to eat. If he continued talking, the food would get cold.
"Come on!" Everyone sat down.
As soon as the meal was over, mother-in-law Liang Xueying asked her sister-in-law Guo Yu to wash the dishes and asked Deng Qingling to take a nap.
Deng Qingling had just returned to her room when she heard someone calling her.
"Aqing, is Aqing at home?" came the voice of Sister Jing.
"I'm here, sister-in-law, you're here," Deng Qingling said as she walked out.
"Here is six dollars, Aqing, I want a 15-inch iron pot," Zhou Jing handed her a handful of banknotes.
"You count them."
"No need to count, sister-in-law, I trust you." Deng Qingling took the money and said.
"As the saying goes: Brothers should be clear about accounts. No matter how close the relationship is, you should not be careless with money. Maybe I ordered too little?" Zhou Jing said in a slightly serious tone. Throughout history, many close friends and relatives have fallen out because of money.
People die for money, and birds die for food.
Money is the biggest test of relationships. If you cherish a relationship, it is best not to involve it with money.
"Okay, I'll count. Sister-in-law, don't be angry." Seeing that she said so, Deng Qingling had no choice but to count.
Deng Qingling felt helpless looking at the stack of colorful banknotes. She was afraid of not having enough money but also afraid of counting the change, which was too difficult.
After counting one dollar, put it aside and repeat the process to count it again. You will finish counting it quickly.
"That's enough."
"That's good. I'll go back first. Remember! It's 15 inches." After saying that, Sister Jing walked out the door.
"Okay, I will remember it. Take care, sister-in-law." Deng Qingling stretched out her Erkang hand.
Seeing Zhou Jing walk away, she closed the door and returned to her room, ready to write a letter. But she didn't know how to write it. What should she say?
How do couples get along? It's so annoying!
Oh well, I'll just say a few words.
Something like, "Jian Xin is doing well, her parents are doing well, she is in good health, and she doesn't need to worry about home," and told him to work with peace of mind, and to help Sister Jing bring back a 15-inch iron pot when he returns home at the end of the month.
Write the letter and give it to my sister-in-law after I wake up so that she can take it to town and mail it.
I used to feel sleepy in spring, tired in autumn and take naps in summer. As the weather gets colder in autumn, I feel listless and always want to sleep. Now, I am sleepy after pregnancy. I can fall asleep as soon as I lie down on the bed.
