Soon the day came when He Xiaoyue came to visit.
Shen Wenfang had already taken her two daughters-in-law to clean the house spotlessly inside and out.
Even her most precious chickens that she usually raised in the yard were locked up.
The dinner was also very grand.
These were all fresh fish and meat that Lin Weiguo bought early in the morning at the commune using his connections.
In the end, six dishes were served on the table.
Braised fish, braised pork, stir-fried bacon with garlic sprouts, shredded pork with green peppers, scrambled eggs with mushrooms, and a bowl of vegetable and pork ribs soup.
Shen Wenfang also made an exception and took out a bottle of fruit wine that Lin Ran brought back.
Anyway, the alcohol content is not high, so there is no need to worry about people getting drunk.
And it's already evening, so it's a good time to drink, wash up and go to bed. It's wonderful.
…
When Lin Lao San brought He Xiaoyue to the table, they couldn't help but sigh:
"Oh my goodness, there are so many meat dishes. We have never eaten such delicious food during the Chinese New Year."
In fact, it should be said that his family had never eaten such a sumptuous meal.
Even He Xiaoyue felt a little moved after seeing it.
She certainly knew the living conditions of every household today.
There are so many meat dishes that even city dwellers with money and tickets can hardly afford them.
It can be seen that the Lin family put a lot of thought into entertaining him.
Although the atmosphere was a bit awkward at the beginning, it was mainly because everyone knew each other and they were a little uncomfortable with the change of identity.
But fortunately, there was Lin Laosan, a lively guy who was good at livening up the atmosphere, and soon everyone at the table relaxed.
Just as everyone was eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, the sound of a bicycle bell suddenly rang outside the door.
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Cao Changzheng and Aunt Shen Si pushing their bicycles into the yard.
The two were also stunned.
Fourth Aunt Shen looked at the sky. The moon was almost up in the sky, but the Lin family was still having dinner.
They even missed mealtime on purpose to come here.
Shen Wenfang didn't expect these two people to come so late at night, so she quickly stood up and welcomed them to the table.
Others also brought stools, poured wine, and served rice with chopsticks.
Fortunately, the food cooked in the evening was large in quantity, so even though everyone had almost finished eating, there was still a lot of meat and vegetables left on the table.
Aunt Shen Si naturally saw the table full of meat and vegetables, and she felt a little uncomfortable for a moment.
I think she has always been competitive and liked to be the best since she was a child.
Especially after getting married, I feel that I am superior to all my brothers and sisters.
But who would have thought that her third sister, whom she had always looked down upon, was now living a better life than herself.
Let’s not talk about the gold bracelets and gold watches I bought before, let’s just talk about the dishes on the table tonight.
She thought her family was well off, but she had never eaten such a lavish meal.
But even though she felt jealous, she wasn't in the mood to compare these things with others.
Shen Wenfang, who was standing by, had no idea of Fourth Aunt Shen's complicated thoughts and continued to greet the two of them.
"Little sister, brother-in-law, I'm so sorry to let you eat the leftovers and drink some wine!"
Fourth Aunt Shen and her husband had no appetite at the moment. They must have something to do when they came here so late at night. Just when Fourth Aunt Shen wanted to pull Shen Wenfang back to the house to talk, she raised her head and saw He Xiaoyue opposite.
I finally understand why the Lin family has to wait until now for dinner.
It turned out that there were guests at home.
But she seemed to have never seen this girl before, and she didn’t seem to be a relative of the Lin family.
I immediately asked curiously:
"Third sister, who is this comrade?"
Shen Wenfang clapped his hands, then remembered that he had not yet introduced the two sides, and quickly spoke:
"Little sister, this is our third child's girlfriend, He Xiaoyue, one of our educated youth."
Then she turned to look at He Xiaoyue and pointed at Aunt Shen Si and her husband.
"Xiaoyue, this is my younger sister and brother-in-law. You can just call them aunt and uncle."
When He Xiaoyue heard this, she immediately put down her chopsticks and called for help.
In fact, she quite enjoyed Shen Wenfang's guidance.
She had lived two lifetimes, and this was the first time an elder had taught her these things.
But at this time, Fourth Aunt Shen couldn't listen to any of this at all, and just nodded randomly.
She didn't expect that even Lin Laosan had found a partner, and he was an educated youth.
She is a city girl and a cultured person.
Why do you like Lin Lao San?
She couldn't understand it, and of course what she couldn't understand even more was why the Lin family's life suddenly became better and better.
Not only did their living conditions improve, but even the children's marriages were arranged.
And the person he is dating is not bad either.
For example, He Xiaoyue and Lin Ran’s boyfriend Shi Yan are both educated youth from the city.
In contrast, the family that he had always been proud of was in a mess.
Such a thing happened to his only precious daughter.
Thinking of her daughter, Fourth Aunt Shen then remembered that they had something important to do when they came here tonight. She didn't care about sighing and quickly collected her thoughts and looked at everyone with a forced smile.
"Third sister, don't bother to greet us. We've already eaten at home and are not hungry. You guys can eat yours.
Xiaoyue, right? You eat too, leave us alone.
Lin Laosan's girlfriend is still here, so no matter how anxious she is, she would not be so foolish as to take Shen Wenfang away.
However, He Xiaoyue still had some insight. She could see the anxiety hidden in Aunt Shen Si's brows and knew that they probably had something to discuss. She smiled and said goodbye.
“No, I’m full.
It’s getting late, uncle and aunt, I’m going back to the educated youth camp first.”
"Xiaoyue, eat more. There are still a lot of dishes here. You haven't eaten much tonight."
Of course Shen Wenfang knew why He Xiaoyue was in a hurry to leave, and she couldn't help but feel more satisfied.
This child is so sensible.
So at this time she really wanted to keep him.
Even though she knew that Fourth Aunt Shen came over for an urgent matter, she felt that since He Xiaoyue was already her future daughter-in-law, it would be okay for her to stay.
At worst, the adults can just go back inside and talk.
But He Xiaoyue was very determined, and Shen Wenfang had no choice but to ask Lin Laosan to send the person back first.
Before leaving, she also stuffed a big bag of White Rabbit milk candy and canned fruit for He Xiaoyue to take away.
She just found out that this silly kid actually brought a lot of things with him when he came to her house today.
I wanted to ask someone to take it back but he refused, so I could only give him some gifts in return.
…
After seeing He Xiaoyue off, Fourth Aunt Shen could no longer conceal the sadness on her face.
Seeing this, Shen Wenfang hurriedly pulled the person into the house.
