Tian Cuifen originally thought that she had no food to eat, so almost all the pig brains were divided up between her and Cai Jinhua.
The remaining vegetables were fried in lard, which made them crispy and tasty. They were eaten up by the two of them, leaving their bellies full.
The daughter-in-law's cooking skills were good, which further proved that she was pretending.
Tian Cuifen was so angry that her nose was crooked. She made up her mind to wait until her son was not at home, and then order Jiang Ningning to work so that she could enjoy the good days of being served by her daughter-in-law.
It was Jiang Ningning who pretended to obey but secretly disobeyed. She went to the neighbors to cry and complain to them, ruining her reputation.
Tian Cuifen was in high spirits, the corners of her mouth curled higher and higher, and her legs couldn't stop shaking.
Seeing that his mother seemed to be ill, Huo Donglin walked to the entrance to change his shoes and said, "Mom, let's go. I'll take you to the health center for a physical examination."
What kind of physical examination is this? It's clearly a brain examination.
"No!" Tian Cuifen pouted and groaned, "I'm not sick."
Huo Donglin swept his dark eyes over coldly and pursed his thin lips, leaving no room for negotiation.
Tian Cuifen shuddered and followed him out obediently.
"Dad, I'm going." Manman's eyes rolled around, and he kicked his short legs forward to hold Huo Donglin's hand.
The family compound was the busiest at noon, when a strange woman was seen following closely behind Huo Donglin and his son.
He was about forty or fifty years old, a bit plump, with a handsome face and fair complexion, and his clothes were brand new without any patches. He looked like a respectable city dweller and did not look crazy at all.
"Manman, who is that woman at the back?" an aunt asked curiously.
"She is my grandma," the soft child's voice was super loud, "The military area has good medical conditions. My mom asked dad to take grandma to the hospital to see a doctor because she played with shit on the train."
Tian Cuifen: “…”
She gritted her teeth and shouted angrily: "Shut up!"
Manman pouted and leaned towards Huo Donglin aggrievedly, then was picked up by her father.
"Mom, why are you arguing with a child? What he said is all true." Huo Donglin's face was dark. "It's not shameful to treat the disease."
When she looked into those black eyes, Tian Cuifen's arrogance instantly disappeared and her back even hunched.
As soon as the family left, the crowd was shocked.
"It turns out that Tian Cuifen is really crazy."
"Director Jiang is so kind and filial. He was abused by his evil mother-in-law but he still let bygones be bygones and paid for her brain treatment."
"Why would a lunatic like her come all the way to the military district?"
There weren't many entertainment activities these days, and it was a rare opportunity to meet a lunatic who was so lively that everyone had a heated discussion.
"Let me see who is gossiping about Secretary Jiang?" A sharp and piercing female voice suddenly rang out.
Everyone turned around.
From a distance, I saw two people rushing over with brooms in their hands, waving them vigorously.
Oh no, it’s Lu Yao’s two lackeys.
The people were horrified, picked up their bowls and scattered.
People dared not discuss the Huo family gossip openly, but the gossip spread even more fiercely behind the scenes.
Tian Cuifen's madness was so well-known that there were even rumors that she liked to dig pit toilets for fun.
For a while, the family compound was in a state of panic.
-
Jiang Ningning had something to do at the company in the afternoon, and after cleaning up the kitchen, it was almost time to go to work.
In the living room, Xia Xia and Tuanzi sat obediently at the table, not noisy or naughty, flipping through obscure books, and writing in pencil on the notebook from time to time.
Tuanzi's handwriting is getting better day by day, and he has already surpassed his brother by a long way.
Jiang Ningning touched her head and reminded her earnestly: "You can only read for an hour at a time, and you must take a break and play in the yard for a while."
Although Xia Xia felt that she would not feel tired even if she read for a whole afternoon, her mother's caring look still made her feel sweet inside, and two sweet dimples suddenly appeared on her cheeks, "Mom, I know."
No one doesn't like a well-behaved and sensible girl, let alone a pretty and childish glutinous rice dumpling. It's time for her to be loved.
Cai Jinhua couldn't help but complain about her granddaughter, "Xia Xia is still so stubborn. You are so cruel to let her learn such profound things."
Xia Xia didn't allow anyone to talk about her mother. She tilted her head and retorted in a baby voice, "Grandma Zeng, it wasn't my mother who asked me to watch it. I learned it myself."
"Oh! You're quite protective of your own people. You're worthy of being a descendant of the Jiang family." Cai Jinhua was not angry at all. Instead, she grinned with gap-toothed smiles and reached out to hold Xiao Tuanzi in her arms.
Although she was from the countryside, she was always clean and hygienic, and Xia Xia sat obediently in her arms.
Her eyes, like black grapes, were blinking, confused.
Cai Jinhua felt her heart soften unnaturally, "It's exactly the same as you were back then, except for this, asking me for maltose."
The memory of being four years old was already fuzzy. When she mentioned this, Jiang Ningning's heart suddenly tightened. She couldn't help but ask, "Why did you cut off contact with my father in the first place?"
Cai Jinhua rolled her eyes, "Your father is a fool. I don't have that kind of stupid son."
When she mentioned Jiang Ming, she was filled with anger. She raised her hands to cover Xia Xia's ears and continued to rant, "He had a bright future, but he was transferred to a factory because of your mother. The Jiang family used all their strength to get him out. This ungrateful person didn't recognize his family for a woman. If I had known, I would have drowned him in the toilet."
From the old lady's perspective, there is certainly nothing wrong with what she said.
Especially in that era, in order to produce an eighth-level technician, the Jiang family invested a lot of money in Jiang Ming in addition to his talent.
If rural people want to cultivate talents, it means that they have to save money and tighten their belts.
Even so, Jiang Ningning instinctively frowned, "My mother is a model female worker in the factory. She treats neighbors kindly and everyone praises her."
"She's such a piece of shit, she's such a loser..."
Meeting Jiang Ningning's sparkling almond eyes, Cai Jinhua suddenly stopped talking. "Why would I argue with a fool like you? Aren't you going to work? Hurry up and go. I'll take care of the child for you. Xia Xia seems to be smarter than you."
Jiang Ningning: “…”
Out of nowhere, the old lady suddenly became angry.
But it was enough to show one thing—she didn't have much ill intentions.
Having elderly people at home to take care of the children can indeed save you a lot of worry.
"Then thank you grandma." Jiang Ningning smiled and smiled with her red lips.
Cai Jinhua hummed twice, and her mouth became sweet when she was bothering others. She learned this from her mother.
"Go away now, it's annoying to watch." She waved her hand.
Jiang Ningning bent down, reached out and touched Xia Xia's head, "Listen to Grandma Zeng's words."
께Tuanzi nodded cutely.
Jiang Ningning felt her heart softened beyond words. She put on her cross-body bag, changed her shoes and went out.
When they reached the gate of the yard, Huo Chunfang ran in, covering her red face with her hands, her brows full of love.
The two met face to face.
Huo Chunfang didn't say a single bad word, and even tried to please her by taking the initiative to greet her: "Sister-in-law, are you going out?"
Jiang Ningning's eyebrows moved slightly——
