Song Jin worked quickly that afternoon, and thanks to Chen Liang's enthusiasm, Aunt Chen also benefited, so they both left work early. Each earned eight work points, and Aunt Chen said this was the easiest time to earn them.
In the evening, Song Jin cooked wild rabbit meat and put a lot of potatoes in it. Her favorite food is potatoes, shredded potatoes, potato cubes, potato slices, mashed potatoes, fried potatoes, boiled potatoes, any kind of potatoes.
One person can't eat much after all, so she served it out in a small bowl in advance.
She finished work early and had lunch early. She heard the team leader next door might have just returned, so she took a small piece of fabric, enough to make a child's outfit. She also took half a pound of White Rabbit candy.
I took the rabbit meat and went to the team leader's house. When I got in, Aunt Chen was very welcoming.
This time she finally met the other members of their family, and Aunt Chen introduced them to her one by one.
The team leader and his wife have four children, all sons. The eldest, Chen Tao, is 26 years old. He married Liu Meili from the town, and they have only one daughter, Chen Xiaoyan, who is 4 years old this year.
Liu Meili's family lived in the town, and she and her younger sister were the only two daughters in the family. Her mother worked at the supply and marketing cooperative, and her father at the fertilizer factory. She was able to marry Chen Tao because one time, while out and about, she was harassed by a hooligan. Chen Tao helped scare him off, and Liu Meili, startled, hugged him. Passersby saw her, and for the sake of her reputation, she reluctantly married him.
She lived with Chen Tao in the village for the first two years after marriage. She didn't want to work or stay in the countryside, so she begged his father to give Chen Tao his job at the fertilizer factory. Chen Tao also promised to give half of his monthly salary to his father-in-law and to bear the cost of their retirement in the future.
Since Liu Meili returned to the town, she has only returned to the village during the Chinese New Year every year. She usually only comes back when the village distributes food. I don’t know why she came back today.
Seeing Song Jin come in, her eyes were glued to the things in Song Jin's hands without saying hello. When Aunt Chen introduced Song Jin, her eyes looked up and down at his clothes.
In short, Song Jin had a bad first impression of her.
The second son is Chen Lin, 23 years old. He married Zhou Linlin from the next village. They have two sons, one aged 3 and the other 1 year old.
Zhou Linlin had a blank expression on her face from beginning to end, and she didn't look at Song Jin too much. After Song Jin entered the room, he just looked up at her once and then lowered his head to do his own thing.
The third child is Chen Liang, who is 21 years old and has neither a wife nor an engagement.
The fourth child is called Chen Chen. He is only 14 years old this year and is considered an old-born child. He is now in junior high school in the town. He usually brings food rations with him and comes back once a week.
Of course, Aunt Chen wouldn't introduce it in such detail. Most of the information was collected from chatting with Aunt Chen during work today.
After all, she had just arrived, and the family she was closest to was the captain's family. In addition, her suitor Chen Liang appeared more frequently, so she had been vaguely asking about the situation in the captain's family.
Now it seems that everyone else in the family seems okay, except for the two daughters-in-law. Although Liu Meili is a girl from the town and has never done farm work, she thinks she is different from the country people and has a proud look on her face, but she is also short-sighted and likes to take advantage of others.
Zhou Linlin was hard to tell for now. Her face was expressionless, and it was hard to tell her personality. She was probably quite aloof.
Song Jin realized that she was actually thinking about the issue of getting along with others, and she really wanted to slap herself. The suitor hadn't even said he was pursuing her, but she was already thinking about how to get along with her family.
Song Jin put everything he had taken on the table and said, "Aunt, this is the wild rabbit meat that Chen Liang brought over at noon. I can't finish it all by myself after I cook it, and it won't keep well in this hot weather. I'll bring it over to you as a side dish for dinner."
"You're just being polite, girl. You have meat but can't finish it all. Okay, okay, I'll take the meat, and you can take the rest back. I won't return the things I took last time if you don't want them, but I can't take them back this time. It's not easy for you to come all the way here, so keep the delicious food for yourself. Don't be silly and give it all to others. Be obedient."
Song Jin was moved, but was interrupted before he could express his feelings.
"Mom, you're so silly! They've already brought it. If they brought such a valuable gift, they must have something to ask of our dad. It's normal for our dad to get something when he does something for you. I see there's even some fabric. Xiaoyan just happens to be in need of some clothes..."
This is Liu Meili. Song Jin feels that he is very good at judging people.
Chen Liang and Aunt Chen just felt ashamed.
