"Huh? What's wrong?"
Hearing Xu Junhui's voice, Huang Qinqin snapped out of her daze and reflexively asked a question.
A hint of a smile flashed across Xu Junhui's eyes: "Shouldn't I be asking you what's wrong? What were you thinking about just now? I've called you several times already."
"I'm thinking how good you are to me. I didn't marry the wrong person, haha."
"You're my wife, how can I not treat you well? Alright, it's getting late, we should head to my parents' house."
However, Xu Junhui remembered what Huang Qinqin had said before her afternoon nap and reminded her, "Wife, you said you wanted to get some money for your older brother, remember to take it with you."
To be honest, if Xu Junhui hadn't reminded her, Huang Qinqin probably would have set off immediately.
After taking the money, Huang Qinqin repeatedly checked to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything before taking Xu Junhui's hand and leaving.
When Zhang Yumei saw Huang Qinqin come out with a small shoulder bag, she smiled and asked, "Qinqin, are you awake? Shall we leave now?"
"Yes, I'm awake. We can leave now or later."
Seeing that everyone was sitting, Huang Qinqin also found a place to sit down. She saw the two bicycles at home and suddenly worried about how to get there later.
"Mom, we only have two bicycles at home. Should we go ask someone to borrow two more?"
Zhang Yumei smiled and shook her head: "No need to borrow it, we can walk there in a bit. It's not far, so we can treat it as a good workout."
When Huang Qinqin heard that she had to walk, she wrinkled her nose and said, "Huh? Not by bike? I think it's still a little far."
After saying that, he blinked at Zhang Yumei, trying to evoke her maternal instincts.
However, Zhang Yumei said very firmly, "Looking at me isn't enough; I still need to get some exercise."
"If you don't exercise now, you'll suffer when you give birth."
"It'll be tough for you now, but after the baby is born, Mom promises she won't force you to exercise anymore, okay? Mom promises."
How could Huang Qinqin be considered bad?
Although Huang Qinqin was still reluctant to move, she wouldn't risk her own safety, so she could only obediently nod.
Seeing that she had agreed, Zhang Yumei urged Xu Weiguo to take all the gifts, and the family slowly walked over to the Huang family's house.
......
When Uncle Wang and his family first arrived at the Huang family's house, they were quite reserved because they thought the Huang family were all city people and might look down on them, who were from the countryside.
To their surprise, the Huang family treated them very politely. After spending a whole afternoon with them, they learned that Grandpa Huang and his family also lived in the village.
“Our family is only able to come out to the city for a couple of days because of the second brother’s family. Actually, we’re no different from you.”
Seeing that Uncle Wang and the others seemed a little nervous, Grandpa Huang sat down and planned to chat with them for a while.
"How can we compare to you? It's really lucky that Yingxue was able to marry Jianguo."
Speaking of this, Uncle Wang's family was actually quite guilty, since they had concealed some information about Wang Yingxue at the time.
They were also very fortunate that Wang Yingxue had met Huang Jianguo. In fact, they were prepared that the Huang family would send Wang Yingxue back after they learned the truth.
Now, the Huang family not only doesn't have any problems, but they also maintain normal contact with their family, and they are actually very grateful.
Two days after Wang Yingxue returned home, her uncle and the others discussed that the village should distribute the grain after the autumn harvest.
They plan to exchange some of their food rations for money and then return the fifty yuan dowry to Huang Jianguo.
In fact, the Wang family's financial difficulties had been greatly alleviated after Wang Yingxue got married, and they felt that the fifty yuan was too much to handle.
After returning the betrothal gifts to the Huang family, they wouldn't feel so guilty about maintaining contact with them.
"How could that be? Yingxue is a good girl. Although this is the first time I've met her, I have my own eyes to see her."
"She is efficient and straightforward, and she gets along well with her family."
After Grandpa Huang finished speaking, he silently added in his mind: "It's just that he has a big appetite."
However, Huang Qinqin had already told Grandpa Huang and the others about Wang Yingxue's situation on her way to the Wang family.
Because Wang Yingxue and Huang Jianguo were sitting in front of them, they happened to exchange a few words in hushed tones.
That's why Grandpa Huang and Uncle Huang didn't show any surprise at noon today.
Huang Eryuan looked at Grandpa Huang and Uncle Wang chatting and said enviously, "Big brother, we're all men, so why do we have to work while Dad can sit around and slack off?"
Uncle Wang is out of the question; after all, he's a guest, and we can't expect him to do any work.
Uncle Huang helped him put the firewood on the wooden block and urged, "Alright, hurry up and chop the firewood. If you delay your sister-in-law from cooking, you'll get scolded."
Sigh~
While chopping wood with an axe, Huang Eryuan asked, puzzled, "Brother, do you think we're disgracing men?"
"How so?"
"It's like we're completely dominated by our wives. In other families, the men sit and the women stand, but in our case, it's the other way around."
Uncle Huang looked at him with amusement: "That's you. I'm not the same as you, and neither is Dad."
Speaking of this, Uncle Huang found it somewhat amusing. Although he and Grandpa Huang were both very considerate of their daughters-in-law.
However, they don't actually do much housework. Apart from some heavy lifting, everything else, like laundry, cooking, and washing dishes, is done by Grandma Huang and Aunt Huang.
But things inexplicably started to change from Huang Eryuan onwards.
When they got married, Chen Zhaodi had pursued Huang Eryuan, and they thought that after marriage, Chen Zhaodi would be completely under their control.
Contrary to their expectations, Huang Eryuan was actually completely under their control.
Moreover, whether it was Chen Zhaodi's good training or Huang Eryuan's own idea, after they got married, they shared the housework equally.
This tradition continued even after Huang Jianguo and Huang Jianjun grew up.
As a result, in Huang Eryuan's family, it has gradually become the case that the men have to take on more of the housework.
Seeing that Uncle Huang seemed to be making fun of him, Huang Eryuan retorted stubbornly, "Tch, aren't we all the same?"
"Don't think I'm afraid of her. If I wanted, I could have her serve me anytime."
"I was thinking that I'm a grown man, and I couldn't be bothered to argue with her. I thought I'd give in to her, so I reluctantly did the work."
Chen Zhaodi quietly walked up to Huang Eryuan and asked in a low voice, "Who do you want to serve you? And who do you not want to argue with?"
