Chapter 93: The True Teachings of Hu Meili

Luo Caixia is the younger one, and although Hu Meili teaches her generously, she doesn't like to play with her usually.

Although everyone lives in the same family compound, they still interact with each other in their own small circles.

Lin Xiangnan usually gets along more with the neighbors on his left and right, and is just a nodding acquaintance with other people.

Hu Meili's new friends are those middle-aged women over 40 years old, a circle that Lin Xiangnan and Luo Caixia could not fit into before.

There are some topics that only people of the same age can discuss.

While Hu Meili and the group of aunts were gossiping about other people's families, she also did not forget to share her own gossip.

"My daughter Xiaonan was spoiled by me since she was young. She wanted to study, so I supported her until she was in high school. When we renovated our house, I reserved a room for her as a wedding room. No one can touch that room because it is where my daughter will live in the future."

When the other ladies heard this, they immediately agreed: "Your child is obviously spoiled. I always see her going to the grocery store to buy meat."

What else can Hu Meili do? She can only continue to help Lin Xiangnan establish his character.

"This child has no other problems, she just loves to eat. She used to be like this at home. No matter how much pocket money she was given, she would always eat. Fortunately, my son-in-law has a high salary and can support the family."

All people can see are food and clothing, but Gu Zhenhua's salary is indeed high, so it's not surprising that Lin Xiangnan eats well.

The people around them would at most sigh and say that the two young people don’t know how to live.

After Hu Meili finished talking about her own family affairs, she started gossiping about the Wang family.

She pretended to be surprised and said, "I thought Luo Caixia was quite good to her little daughter, but when I heard Wang Hu scolding people that day, I realized that she was actually a stepmother. I almost didn't realize it."

"This person is really okay. I used to take care of that little leopard. He was sickly, but now Luo Caixia has taken good care of him and he is strong."

When Captain Wang's ex-wife died, he sent his little daughter to the nursery at the military factory next door during the day and brought her back at night.

But there were many children in the nursery, and Little Leopard was not in good health. She got a fever after two days there, so Captain Wang entrusted her to the care of an old lady who was free in the staff quarters.

During that period, Captain Wang had to work during the day and take care of the children at night. He was really exhausted. Only after he married Luo Caixia did he sleep well.

I heard the aunt in the family compound talk about the difficult times Captain Wang went through during that period.

Hu Meili said in shock: "Oh~ Captain Wang lived like this during that period. Isn't he afraid that something like this will happen again? I think Luo Caixia's pregnancy doesn't look good..."

Hu Meili was hesitant to speak, and she treated the other ladies like wild animals in a melon field.

"What's going on? What's going on? Please explain it clearly."

Hu Meili pretended to be relaxed. "Oh, it's not a big deal. I just think Captain Wang is quite inconsiderate..."

Hu Meili has been acting like a spoiled brat for so many years, but her reputation is still good, all thanks to her good management of public opinion.

After all, throwing tantrums and making trouble are just means, and nothing can go beyond reason.

When she arrived at the new territory, she did not forget to speak up for Lin Xiangnan and Luo Caixia.

When something happens, although these ladies can't help much, it's enough for them to stand up and say something fair.

After Hu Meili made many friends, Lin Xiangnan could feel that some of the ladies on the street were inexplicably more friendly to her.

However, Hu Meili did not plan to stay in the staff quarters for long. After just a few days of making friends, she packed her bags and prepared to leave.

"You're going to go home to have fun anyway, so just play here with me." Lin Xiangnan was still a little reluctant.

Lin Xiangnan's home has good food and a good place to live, but it is not her own home after all. Hu Meili is afraid that if she lives there for too long, her son-in-law will have complaints.

She said, "I'll come back next time when I miss you. Your elder brother and younger brother have no one to take care of them. I don't know how they're going to live."

Lin Xiangdong is fine, as he has been working in the countryside alone for six years and can be trusted to do things well. But Lin Xiangxi has grown up and has hardly ever been out of Hu Meili's sight.

Every time they go out, what Hu Meili is most worried about is the little one.

Unable to persuade Hu Meili, Lin Xiangnan and Gu Zhenhua could only send Hu Meili to the station and packed a bunch of things for her in large and small bags.

Hu Meili doesn't care about other things. What she cares most are the photos that Lin Xiangnan took of her.

As soon as she got back, she showed off the photos.

"Did you see that? This is a photo taken by Xiaonan. I look so photogenic in it..."

Seeing these photos, Lin Xiangxi was envious, "Second sister's photography skills are really good. Next time, let her take photos for me too."

Hu Meili didn't nag in front of Lin Xiangnan, but when Lin Xiangnan was not around, Hu Meili couldn't help it.

"Xiao Nan, that prodigal, spent hundreds of dollars on an imported camera. Gu Zhenhua doesn't even know how to control her."

Lin Xiangxi muttered softly, "I've already bought it. It's too late for you to say this now."

"When she was at home before, she knew how to restrain herself. After joining the army, she was spoiled by Gu Zhenhua and became more and more arrogant. I lived in the staff quarters for more than ten days, and every meal either had eggs or meat. I was really worried that Gu Zhenhua's salary could not afford your sister's squandering."

It was impossible to complain, Lin Xiangxi could only envy and said eagerly: "It's great. Without my sister, Fatty has lost weight."

Hu Meili and her youngest son don't get along, but her eldest son is very perceptive.

Lin Xiangdong and Hu Meili first condemned Lin Xiangnan's extravagance, and then advised: "Mom, it's a rare opportunity for you to go there. Xiaonan must have left good things for you. She also wants to reassure you and let you know that she is living well over there."

Although she knew that what Lin Xiangdong said might not be true, Hu Meili was still happy to hear it.

Without Hu Meili, Lin Xiangnan has more free time. When he has nothing to do, he follows Aunt Hua to the museum to observe and learn.

She was smart and could remember some knowledge after Aunt Hua told her once, which made Aunt Hua's liking for her grow rapidly.

When they came back, Aunt Hua said, "After a while, I will take you to the antique shop. You might be able to find a bargain there."

The antique shops of the past were transformed into public-private partnerships after liberation, and then integrated into cultural relics shops.

This is the only formal channel for buying and selling antiques.

The antiques collected by antique shops will be provided to museums, universities, or certain organizations for display and exhibition, and some will be exported to earn foreign exchange.

Aunt Hua would sometimes spend a little money to buy some small items in the antique shop.

The two of them were chatting and laughing as they walked home together when they passed by Wang's house.

Some sounds inexplicably entered Lin Xiangnan's ears.

"Oh my God, what sin have I committed..."

Lin Xiangnan paused for a moment. Isn't this Hu Meili's classic line?

How come Hu Meili has left, but he is still following her?
