Li Chunmei had a good idea. She seemed to see Xiao Qianqian waving at her. She casually brushed off the dust on her pants and hurried towards Li Xia's house.
At this moment, Li Xia was watering the vegetables in the vegetable garden at home.
These vegetables have grown and are growing well. If they are watered well, they will be ready to eat in half a month.
An An was sitting in the yard reading a book. If he came across a word he didn't know, he would ask Li Xia what the word was.
When people are at home in broad daylight, the courtyard door will naturally not be bolted. When Li Chunmei arrived, she pushed the door open without knocking.
"Sister-in-law, you're at home. That's great. I just happened to be looking for you for something!" Li Chunmei changed her previous attitude and smiled at Li Xia.
It had only been more than a week since she received the package. Li Xia naturally still remembered Li Chunmei. She frowned when she thought of what Mrs. Tao had said to her.
She had no connection with Li Chunmei. They had never even spoken to each other except for the day she picked up the package. Why did Li Chunmei suddenly come to see her?
And she could tell from Li Chunmei's flattering smile that Li Chunmei must have something to ask her, and it was not a good thing.
Although Li Xia noticed it, she would not ask about it unless Li Chunmei said it.
"You should just call me Li Xia. It always feels a bit weird when you call me sister-in-law." Li Xia said.
Li Chunmei is 33 years old this year, eight years older than Li Xia. Of course she feels weird about someone like this calling Li Xia "sister-in-law".
"Yes, I am older than you, but your husband is the regiment leader and mine is just the deputy regiment leader. I am just calling you sister-in-law, which means I respect you from the bottom of my heart! If you don't like me calling you sister-in-law, then fine, I won't call you that." Li Chunmei said with a smile, still looking flattering.
Hearing her say this, Li Xia felt that Li Chunmei must have something to ask her.
I just don't know what it is.
Could it be that he was thinking of asking her to help prepare a banquet when the baby is born?
After what happened to Aunt Tian last time, Li Xia was traumatized by the idea of hosting a banquet.
She rejected the other party and he made up dirty rumors about her. It was so bad!
However, if she doesn't want to do something, no one can force her to do it. Li Xia is already prepared to refuse.
If Li Chunmei dared to act like Aunt Tian, the worst that could happen to them would be meeting Political Commissar Shen again.
I believe that with the previous example of Aunt Tian, the organization's punishment for those who spread rumors will only be more severe this time!
"Is this your son? He's so handsome! Your belly is so good that you will give birth to a son in your lifetime, unlike me who gave birth to three, all of which were loss-making goods." Li Chunmei sighed.
"You are so young and you can read books by yourself. Do you know all these characters? I don't even know some characters! Your mother can write articles, and her son is amazing. He can read books by himself at such a young age."
Li Xia frowned and had an even worse impression of Li Chunmei.
This man is also a contemporary Qing Dynasty person who is deeply poisoned by the idea of favoring boys over girls.
How can a daughter be a money-loser? Isn't she a woman herself?
So if you want to have a son, does it mean there is a throne to inherit in your family?
Li Xia knew that people like Li Chunmei would not be able to change even if you told her that men and women were equal and that daughters were not money-losing goods.
So even though I have a lot to say, I'd better forget it. I'm too lazy to waste my breath. It's best to have less dealings with people like this.
"Sister Li, what do you want to talk to me about? If there's nothing else, I won't accompany you for now. I'm used to taking a nap at noon. If I don't, I'll easily feel tired in the afternoon." Li Xia said.
In fact, smart people can hear that Li Xia is actually ordering everyone to leave.
But Li Chunmei didn't hear it. She smiled and said, "Don't you know how to write articles? You must have received a lot of royalties from submitting articles to newspapers. I was thinking of asking you to teach me how to write articles so that I can also earn some royalties!"
When Li Xia heard this, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch.
She never thought that Li Chunmei came to her to ask her to teach her how to write an article.
Writing is something that really depends on talent and daily accumulation. She has been good at writing essays since she was young, and later she read a lot of books, so she can naturally write good articles.
But which of these two things does Li Chunmei possess?
Li Chunmei just said that she doesn’t recognize some of the words in the children’s picture book that An An reads. How can she write an article like this?
Li Xia immediately refused: "You can't just write an article if you want to. Have you ever written one before? What degree do you have? Have you read a lot of books? If you don't have these, it's impossible to write one."
I'm afraid it's difficult to write a diary, let alone write an article that can be published.
Li Chunmei was unhappy: "Look at what you said. If I could write, why would I come here to beg you to teach me? I think you are stingy. You are afraid that teaching your apprentice will starve you to death. Then the newspaper will want my manuscripts instead of yours, and you won't make any money, right?"
Li Xia: “…”
She really saw the diversity of species.
"Since you are so confident, why do you still ask me to teach you how to write? Can't you just go back and write it yourself and submit it?" Li Xia said.
"I really need to sleep. I don't have time to talk to you any more. Please go back."
Li Xia didn't want to say anything too harsh in front of An An.
But anyone with a discerning eye could tell that she was angry, and her eyes, which usually showed a smile, now turned cold.
"You're your man, and he's the head of the group, but you're so petty in doing things. You're really bringing shame to your man! I'll report it to your man and let him give you a good lesson." Li Chunmei said with her hands on her hips.
Li Xia rolled her eyes and was about to say "whatever you want to say", but she heard Gu Weicheng's voice: "Why are you going to sue my wife here? I'm right here, go ahead."
