Lin Nanfeng greeted the guests and went back to the kitchen to wash the dishes. Qin Xiaomei was also in the kitchen sorting out the things she had just bought.
"There are so many, can our family finish them all?" Lin Nanfeng asked his aunt.
Qin Xiaomei said, "There are some things in there from Sister Mao's family. Half of them were bought by her. I'll take them to her later."
Lin Nanfeng responded without saying anything, and looked at Qin Xiaomei while washing dishes.
Seeing this, Qin Xiaomei asked, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you looking at me like that? It makes me uncomfortable."
"Aunt, have you ever thought about getting married? There are many people coming to your house to propose marriage, right?"
The deputy commander's sister was less than 30 years old when her husband died, and Qin Xiaomei herself was not bad looking, so many people were attracted to her.
Lin Nanfeng had only been home for less than half a day today, and someone had already come to her to ask questions.
This was the first time Nanfeng asked her about this topic, but her brother and sister-in-law had already told her about it, so Qin Xiaomei didn't object.
She looked up at Nanfeng and asked, "Why, do you want me to get married?"
Lin Nanfeng didn't take these words well.
She put the washed dishes away, turned around, took a tomato from Qin Xiaomei, wiped it on her clothes without washing it, and was about to bite it.
Qin Xiaomei immediately snatched it back, washed it, and gave it to her, muttering:
"Your mother is a very clean person. How could she meet someone as unrefined as you? They were just picked from the fields and watered with manure. They are so dirty."
Lin Nanfeng took it with a smile, took a bite of the tomato and said to Qin Xiaomei:
"Marrying is bullshit. We will take care of you in your old age. Don't worry about what others say. As long as we are here, we will never let you suffer any injustice."
When my mother first arrived in Jiangyuan, she was still thinking of taking Qin Xiaomei away. Besides the fact that the Qin family had been kind to her, she had also shared hardships with Qin Xiaomei in the past.
Otherwise, Qin Xiaomei wouldn't be so stupid and keep calling "Xiaoman Xiaoman".
To be honest, Lin Nanfeng is quite envious of such a relationship.
Their family members are not backward in thinking. As long as Qin Xiaomei is happy, she can live the way she wants.
No one else can do anything about it.
Qin Xiaomei suppressed her smile and looked at her, pretending to be relaxed. She said, "I've also died once, so there's nothing I can't let go of. Their words can't hurt me."
Qin Xiaomei looked out the window in a trance and murmured, "Live, and live."
Lin Nanfeng hugged her without saying a word.
Outside, Gangdan and his mother were about to leave, and Lin Zhengran stood up to see them off.
Seeing this, Lin Nanfeng followed him out.
After closing the iron gate, Lin Zhengran told his daughter, "The man in her family is gone. The six of us, mother and children, will soon be leaving the camp and returning to the countryside."
Now that the men are gone, the house they lived in in the camp will be taken back.
Lin Nanfeng knew about this rule, so she asked, "Her daughter looks quite grown up now. Doesn't she have a job? If she does, she can stay. This place is definitely better than the countryside."
Making friends with any family in the camp will be helpful in the future.
There are only a few capable families in the countryside, but they are always dealing with trivial matters. In the long run, if they don't make progress, they will regress. Generally speaking, it is best not to leave.
“Who doesn’t know this?”
Lin Zhengran said, "There are too many jobs for too few people. Besides, although her daughter is tall and big, she is only in high school and will graduate next year."
“What a pity!”
Lin Zhengran remained silent.
After a nap, those who need to go to work go to work, and those who need to go to class also go to class.
The primary school and the nursery are in opposite directions, while Qin Shouguo and Duobao are in the same direction, and their starting and ending times are also the same.
So Duobao gets a ride every day, and the twins walk to the nursery by themselves.
Usually Qin Xiaomei takes the child there, but today Lin Nanfeng is at home, so she takes the child there.
Lin Nanfeng was just about to take a nap after sending the twins home when a bang from the next room pulled her back to reality.
The next room was her sister-in-law's room, so she immediately got up to check it out.
I knocked on the door, but no one answered.
Then, Mao Shufen's voice came from behind. She was holding Mao Dan on the first floor and angrily said to Lin Nanfeng:
"That damned gossip Li Zhaodi is saying bad things about your aunt everywhere, saying that she has high standards and doesn't like ordinary people. She even asked her if she wanted to find a celestial being after her husband died."
"How did my aunt reply?"
According to Lin Nanfeng, it was Qin Xiaomei herself who spread the rumor about her man's death.
Since she said this, she was not afraid of others knowing that her husband had died, nor was she afraid of others using this to pressure her.
But now that she has been irritated and ignored by others, it must be that the other party has touched her sore spot.
Mao Shufen changed her arms while holding her grandson and replied, "Your aunt told her to mind her own business. The most important thing is to hurry up and give birth to a son so that he can gain a foothold in her husband's family."
She continued, "Your aunt is right, but the Seven Fairies have given birth to no sons. It would be strange if she could give birth again at the age of forty. I touched her sore spot. Li Zhaodi collapsed three feet high and cursed your aunt as a nemesis who killed her ex-husband's children."
When Lin Nanfeng heard the word "child" on the second floor, he immediately understood why Qin Xiaomei was so angry.
These two words are her weakness. Now some people say that she is unlucky with children. How can she not be angry?
Lin Nanfeng looked at Qin Xiaomei's door with a fierce look in his eyes.
Mao Shufen continued, "Whoever marries a girl from the Li family will be unlucky. He will never have a son in this life. This is her family's destiny. Otherwise, why would she call herself Zhaodi, and why would the sisters call her Laidi, Pandi, Niandi, and Qiudi?
The daughters we have are named Yingdi, Mengdi, and Xidi. The whole family must be crazy about having a son."
Lin Nanfeng walked down the stairs, frowning and asking, "Does my aunt have a grudge against her?"
Mao Shufen became even more angry when talking about this. "What kind of festival is it? She just wants to have something good happen. She has a younger brother on her mother's side who was adopted. He can't take care of himself and has intellectual problems. She thinks your aunt and his brother are a good match and wants to pair them up.
I mentioned it to your aunt privately a few times, but she didn't agree. She got angry and started saying bad things about him everywhere."
"Does my mother know about this?" Lin Nanfeng asked.
"I don't know." Mao Shufen said, "Your aunt didn't let me tell your mother, otherwise your mother would have gone to her house to ask for tea."
Mao Shufen thought about Lin Zhengran's personality and realized that she could really do such a thing. That woman also protected her younger sister like her own child.
The two sides had just had a few arguments in the past, and no one took it seriously.
Qin Xiaomei was like this today. She didn't understand why, but she was also angry.
Not to mention that your brother is a fool, just considering your family's situation, you still want to marry into the commander's family. You are so shameless.
When Lin Nanfeng heard this, he walked out with steps as fast as the wind.
Mao Shufen couldn't catch up with her, and her heart was beating fast for some reason.
"You little bitch, are you going to fight someone?" Mao Shufen was so frightened by her appearance that her voice broke.
Lin Nanfeng didn't respond.
When Qin Xiaomei upstairs heard the sound, she immediately got up and went downstairs, so anxious that she didn't even put on her shoes.
