Chapter 48 Awkward
Aunt Qiao calmed down and said, "Mom and Dad, second brother, sister-in-law, look, your whole family came here without even saying hello. The food I prepared is not enough, and it's getting late. Since you haven't finished your business, why don't you go back today?"
Zhang Dabiao pointed at Aunt Qiao with a shaking hand, "I'm your father-in-law. I came all the way to your house, but you didn't even give me a meal? Fine, fine, I'm going to go out and tell them, to see if anyone will poke you in the back, you unfilial descendants!"
Zhang Heping's face was also very unhappy. Xia Wanyang smiled slyly, "Aunt Qiao, Grandpa Zhang is right. It doesn't matter if you didn't prepare much food. I'll go back to the educated youth center to get it. I can't even finish all the coarse grains I've been given. I just want to eat some steamed bread or something today!"
Zhang Heshun also realized that this little girl was cunning and that they would not get any advantage today. "Mom and Dad, let's go back. Since eldest brother's family doesn't want us to stay, we will only be annoying if we stay!"
Xia Wanyang chuckled, "Uncle, why are you so scornful of the poor and infatuated with the rich? You stay if you want to eat good food, but you want to leave if you want to eat steamed corn bread. You are a hedonist, and people will criticize you if you tell others about this!"
Song Niandi and Zhang Heshun each helped up an old man and walked out angrily. Zhang Shifang walked to Xia Wanyang, stopped for a moment, and followed her.
After they left, my second sister-in-law Yuan Hong started serving the dishes, including braised rabbit meat, steamed fish, chicken stewed with mushrooms, scrambled eggs with green onions, mixed cucumbers, tomatoes mixed with sugar, and two stir-fried vegetarian dishes. This kind of food is one of the best in the city, not to mention in the countryside.
Aunt Qiao pulled Xia Wanyang to sit down, "Wanyang, just treat it as your own home. Eat whatever you want. This is your first visit since you and Shi Ye got together, so don't be restrained!"
Zhang Shiye took the gift prepared by Xia Wanyang and handed it to his parents in front of everyone. Qiao Shuyun refused for a long time before reluctantly accepting it. After the family finished eating, the eldest sister-in-law Liu Fang and the second sister-in-law Yuan Hong stood up to clean up the dishes. Xia Wanyang wanted to help, but Aunt Qiao held her back and said, "This is your first meal here, how can I let you clean up? Go to his room with Shiye and play for a while."
Zhang Shiye happily took the little girl back to his room.
In the kitchen, Liu Fang complained to Yuan Hong, "Our parents are so biased. Which of our three daughters-in-law has ever been treated like this the first time they came to our house? I'm afraid that when Xia Zhiqing marries into our family, we will not only have to serve our parents and our husbands, but we will also have to serve this sister-in-law!"
Yuan Hong said calmly, "What's so harsh about serving or not serving? Are we supposed to just go and rest and let them clean up after their first official visit?"
Liu Fang glared at Yuan Hong angrily, "Your family is one of the best in the team, why are you trying to flatter Xia Zhiqing?"
Yuan Hong threw the rag in her hand onto the stove. "Liu Fang, Xia Zhiqing saved my fourth brother's life. Even if he is not his girlfriend, our family should thank him. We are just inviting him to our home for a meal. Why are you being so jealous?"
Liu Fang quickly glanced outside, and was relieved to see that there was no one outside. "Why are you shouting? I'm just feeling unbalanced. Look at the food tonight. It's not as good as it was during Chinese New Year. Isn't this a show of power to you and me? Dad and mom just want to tell us that this Xia Zhiqing is superior to us!"
Yuan Hong smiled and said, "You also know that the dishes are good? Don't you see what gifts Xia Zhiqing brought? The cigarettes are in cartons, and the wine is sold exclusively in department stores in big cities. Even the ones for your mother to wipe her face are not as good as a table of dishes, right? Do you still dare to compare with others? Is this your first time to bring something?"
Liu Fang was embarrassed by what she said, "What if I didn't bring anything? Didn't you bring anything too?"
Yuan Hong shrugged her shoulders and said, "But I'm not trying to compete with others. I think it's not enough to treat them with some wild game from the mountains!"
Liu Fang's chest heaved with anger and she couldn't utter a word.
Zhang Shiye brought the man back into the house and locked the door. Xia Wanyang heard a click and was startled. "Why did you lock the door?"
Zhang Shiye smiled and said, "Isn't this to satisfy Yangyang's request? I'm afraid you won't be happy if I don't beat you!"
Xia Wanyang: “…”
She clenched her fist and gestured: "Let me tell you, my father and my brother have taught me self-defense. You can't beat me!"
Zhang Shiye held her little fist and put it down, then held her in his arms, "My baby, why are you so nice?" Looking at the pretty face of the girl in his arms, he gently lifted her chin.
Xia Wanyang closed her eyes with trembling eyelashes. Zhang Shiye felt as if every pore in his body was clamoring. He lowered his head and kissed the lips that made him addicted, sucking gently and tracing them carefully.
His nostrils were filled with the sweet and soft scent of milk, and the sweetness in his mouth made him lose control for a moment.
His big hands held her slender waist and pressed it against him, and his arms gradually tightened.
Xia Wanyang was kissed so hard that she felt dizzy and exhausted. Her head was also dizzy from the word "my baby". She couldn't help but let out a low cry.
Zhang Shiye slid down along her lips and buried his entire head in Xia Wanyang's fair and slender swan neck, kissing every inch of her skin. Xia Wanyang was forced to raise her neck, and the itchiness made her moan softly.
Suddenly Zhang Shiye stopped and quickly let her go, then looked at Xia Wanyang with an annoyed look, "Yangyang, can you...can you please go out for a while?"
Xia Wanyang was confused. How could this happen while they were kissing... She suddenly understood something, then glanced at his abdomen with a smile, then turned and left.
Zhang Shiye wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it. He looked down and said through gritted teeth: "You are really promising!"
When Zhang Shiye came out again, he had changed his pants. Xia Wanyang had secretly wiped off the mark on her neck with stream water when she came out. At this moment, she was arguing with her second sister-in-law Yuan Hong.
Zhang Shiye walked over and saw Xia Wanyang stuffing a small box into Yuan Hong's hand. "Second sister-in-law, my father is also a soldier. I have always been very friendly to soldiers. We will become a family in the future. This is the first time I come to your house to give you a gift. Why are you tearing it apart from me?"
Yuan Hong quickly retreated, "You are Fourth Brother's girlfriend. Even if you marry into our family, it is me, the Second Sister-in-law, who gives you things. How can I take your things?"
Xia Wanyang stuffed the small box into Yuan Hong's arms and left with Zhang Shiye.
Yuan Hong shook her head helplessly, went back to the room and opened the box. Inside was a beautiful mirror and a comb, as well as about ten rubber bands and hairpins. They looked expensive.
Yuan Hong was not short of money. Although Zhang Shiyu was only a platoon leader, he earned about 100 yuan a month. Apart from the money he gave to his parents-in-law, he mailed almost all of the rest back to her.
She has many brothers in her family, but her parents are not partial to them and do not require her to be filial, so after getting married for so many years, she has saved nearly 3,000 yuan. Yuan Hong put away the gifts and took out 20 yuan and put it in her pocket.
Zhang Shiye was still thinking about the embarrassment just now, so he didn't know what to say all the way. Xia Wanyang tried hard to hold back her laughter, "Do you want to take a day off tomorrow? I want to go to the city. My family sent me a package and I have to go pick it up. Will you accompany me?"
Zhang Shiye nodded, and Xia Wanyang continued, "My arm is almost healed. I want to go back to work the day after tomorrow. I'm afraid people will have opinions if I take too long off. Although I don't rely on work points to make a living, I can't always ask for special treatment!"
Zhang Shiye nodded again, then suddenly looked up as if he remembered something, "Go to work? No way!"
