She got married a few years ago, and her in-laws were a busy family. Whenever she felt like she couldn't hold on, she thought of Zhou Xinghong. Over the years, Zhou Xinghong had been her spiritual support.
This time she brought her daughter to the wedding banquet and left her son at home. Her mother-in-law was so angry that she kept yelling.
"Look at the bride. She is a good friend of mom. But she is much more capable than mom!" Yan Xiumei said to her daughter, pointing at the bride.
Yan Xiumei's daughter Xiaohua was only four or five years old. She looked at the bride in a daze, then turned her gaze to the big iron pot.
There was steam rising up, with bursts of white vapor floating in the air, and bursts of fragrance drifting away with the white vapor.
Xiaohua swallowed. Although their family was able to make ends meet, they didn't eat chicken, fish, meat, or eggs very often. Even if they did, Grandma would always give it to her younger brother.
Xiaohua swallowed her saliva again. It smelled so good. I wanted to eat it so much!
Yan Xiumei was still chattering to her daughter about Zhou Xinghong, and Xiaohua was so greedy that her mouth was watering.
Jiaojiao, who had been standing next to her, saw how greedy she was and took out a handful of candy from her pocket.
"Xiaohua, here's some candy! This is from the groom, wedding candy. It's delicious!"
When Yan Xiumei saw this, she felt very embarrassed: "Jiaojiao, don't give her these. I have some too, look!"
Jiaojiao stuffed the candy into Xiaohua's pocket: "It's okay, I'm grown up now and don't like eating this. Children are at the age when they like to eat candy..."
Xiaohua's face smiles just like her name.
Yan Xiumei felt sad when she saw this. Her husband's family favored boys over girls, and Xiaohua was not valued at home. She had never received so much candy before!
Yan Xiumei took her daughter's hand and said to her, "Xiaohua, be like this older sister in the future. Study hard and get admitted... Oh, that's not right..."
Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Get into college and find a good job in the future without relying on others!"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Yan Xiumei felt that Jiaojiao's words were very nice.
"From now on, you can rely on yourself. You can eat whatever you want and have whatever you want. No one can look down on you!"
Xiaohua was confused and puzzled, but at that moment, she secretly made up her mind: I must rely on myself in the future and buy a lot of candy! Then her pockets would be filled with candy and no one would be able to stop her!
Jiaojiao touched Xiaohua's head. In the future, another business woman will come out of Wangjiacun School!
With the New Year and the happy events, the year passed by quickly and busily, and in the blink of an eye it was the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
With so many more intellectuals in the brigade this year, the teachers decided to organize a lantern festival for Wangjia Village on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Upon hearing the news, the nearby teams rushed to see the lanterns.
The teachers had already prepared for this and had led the students to make various lanterns. When the lanterns of various colors were lit up, the whole Wangjia Village was decorated very beautifully.
In the evening, Wangjia Village becomes lively. People who know each other gather in groups of three or four to chat, and children naturally run around the village looking for friends.
This is Jiaojiao's first time in this world to enjoy lanterns and guess riddles on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Wangjia Village has many peach trees, and many lanterns are hung on the peach trees. Jiaojiao walked all the way here. Although the place was wrong and the people walking around were wrong, the smiles on everyone's faces were the same.
