Chapter 25 Chapter 25 Grandma and Grandpa

In order to ensure that her parents could take care of her daughter, Wang Lai Di spent a lot of money and prepared a lot of things.

Let’s talk about the elders first. Grandpa Wang and Grandma Wang each own a waistcoat. Everyone knows how rare the fabric is nowadays. Many people may not have a new piece of clothing all year round, let alone a cotton vest.

If Wang Lai Di hadn't worked in a textile factory, she might not have been able to get these things. If she wore these two new waistcoats sparingly, they would be enough for Grandma Wang and Grandpa Wang to wear for seven, eight or even ten years.

Once the elders have it, then we can talk about the same generation.

Wang Lai Di has two older sisters, a younger brother and a younger sister.

She was the best-married among her sisters. She was admitted to the county high school and found a temporary job in the city through her eldest brother-in-law. She got to know the children's father, Ye Hongjun. Therefore, she paid special attention to the studies of her five children.

Wang Lai Di's elder sister Wang Yi Di also married well and moved to the county town. Her husband was the chef of the only state-owned hotel in the town. He also used his connections to help her find a formal job. In those days, families with two working parents could basically live well.

The third sister Wang Pandi and the fifth sister Wang Wudi both married to the brigade near Wangjiagou.

Wang Lai Di has the best relationship with her elder sister Wang Yi Di. Wang Pan Di is more silent and can't say a word. This is the biggest impression I have of her.

It is said that Wang Wu Di was raised by her with great care (? ) and the relationship between them is pretty good. In this era, older daughters are the other half mothers of younger daughters and sons in the family and may be more responsible than both parents.

Wang Lai Di also raised her only younger brother, Wang Chuangen. As the only child in the family, Wang Chuangen was really raised in the palm of her hand. He didn't do much to make a living when he was young, and his academic performance was not very good, otherwise Wang Lai Di would not have gone to high school.

Wang Lai Di said that Ye Yu's uncle Wang Laogen was spoiled in the past and was a bit lazy, but he was honest. To put it bluntly, he was stupid and dumb. He was teased by people of the same age and village more than once or twice. The situation got better after he got married.

Wang Chuangen married Liu Hongmei, the daughter of the village chief of the next-door brigade. Wang Laidi got married earlier than him, so he didn't know his sister-in-law's personality very well. After just a few contacts, he knew that she was a smart person, and they got along well every time they met.

As if to balance the probabilities, the couple gave birth to three sons and one daughter. The sons were all named Tiger, Wang Dahu, Wang Erhu, Wang Xiaohu, and Wang Xiaomei.

Wang Dahu and Wang Erhu are both married. Wang Xiaohu and Wang Xiaomei are twins, a few years younger than Ye Yu. They are about the same age as Ye Baoguo.

Wang Dahu and Wang Erhu definitely have children, but Wang Lai Di doesn’t know how many of their younger generation are there. That’s how it is among relatives. If they don’t stay together for a long time, they become estranged quickly.

Wang Lai Di prepared a pair of gloves or a scarf made of leftover scraps of vest for each of her brothers and sisters of the same generation. She did not need to prepare anything for Wang Dahu and his younger generations. At most, she prepared some snacks such as rock sugar, baked apples, and glutinous rice sticks for the countless children under her.

In addition, there are some small gifts for other relatives in the village, which are also snacks for children. Children are the most precious these days, and you can't go wrong giving them gifts. Among them, the most are given to the children of Wang Judi's family. These are now placed in the space and have not been taken out yet.

In the past, Wang Lai Di had a lukewarm relationship with her natal family. In recent years, she has visited her natal family less frequently, and their impression of each other has suddenly improved. Perhaps this is because of the saying "A distant fragrance smells good, but a nearby fragrance stinks."

When Ye Yu saw this, he always wanted to steal them and exchange them for old textbooks, old erasers and old pencils, but in the end, his conscience prevailed.

She didn't think she was a good person. She was born in the end times and had committed murder and robbery before.

But the murderers are generally bad guys, or simply gangsters robbing gangsters. When it comes to ordinary people and things in other people's hands, they still have to be careful and have some bottom line, not to mention that they are children's things.

Ye Yu did not hide the gifts he gave. His backpack was wide open, with a small part of his enviable waistcoat "inadvertently" hanging outside. In the big backpack were glutinous rice sticks, roasted fruits and rock sugar. In fact, except for glutinous rice sticks, roasted fruits and rock sugar were cheaper than fruit candy, and the advantage of rock sugar was that it could be used for cooking.

It's not that she likes to be the center of attention. This is what Wang Lai Di told her. Only when the villagers know what gifts she has given will they praise her and her daughter for their filial piety. It also helps to urge Grandpa Wang and the rest of the family to help her when she is in trouble.

Although Ye Yu may not be able to use it, cousin Wang Lai Di's filial piety is indeed worth doing.

They met many villagers along the way, and Ye Yu responded to their greetings with a smile or a nod, which made people feel flattered.

After all, after what happened to the former village chief's family this morning, everyone couldn't help but feel a little nervous in front of this young and beautiful female educated youth. There were also villagers who had long disliked Wang Laoer, but now they admired her from the bottom of their hearts. Every time they met her, they sighed at the huge contrast between this person's appearance and fighting ability.

A few people mustered up the courage to politely say: "Comrade Ye, are you going to visit your grandma and grandpa? Wow, you brought so many good things. This waistcoat is really thick, and the cotton fabric is so new and soft."

"You are surprised by what you have seen! Didn't Wang Lai Di bring a lot of bags when she returned to her parents' home two years ago? Even though this girl married far away, she still misses her parents' home all the time!"

"Uncle Gousheng is so blessed. His daughters are all filial and his sons have given birth to several grandchildren. I'm afraid he will have more blessings in the future. He is really enviable."

"Don't even mention his family. The boys in your family are not bad either. They are definitely good at farm work."

"It's not as amazing as you say. They are lazy, don't you know..."

Grandma Ye Yu's house is quite far from the educated youth point. One needs to go downhill and then climb a mountain to get there. One passes by many houses with smoke rising from chimneys, and the yards of many villagers' homes can be seen at a glance.

In this way, the reputation will spread quickly. In less than one night, by tomorrow, even the big yellow dog at the village captain's house might know about it.

Grandma Wang's family was considered well-off in the village, as evidenced by the fact that one of their relatives worked as the village accountant and their daughter was able to marry into the city, all thanks to the prosperity of the Wang family.

Their house was originally quite big. After Wang Chuangen's two sons got married, they expanded it twice in the east and west directions. Now both the front and back yards are incredibly large.

The kitchen alone was more than five times the size of the small kitchen at the educated youth camp, and the firewood was piled very high.

Nowadays, people care about having many children and being blessed, which makes sense to a certain extent. It is mainly because of the insufficient productivity in society. The more children you have, the more labor force you have and the more work you can do. As long as brothers don't quarrel with each other, life will be much easier.

Grandpa Wang and his wife knew that Ye Yu had come to Wangjiagou, but they had not met because they were busy at work and were not in the same group. However, people at home had already started talking about it.

Grandma Wang was obviously younger than her husband because she had given birth to too many children, but she looked older. Her face was full of wrinkles when she smiled, and her hair was gray and sparse, but neat and tidy, tied into a small bun hanging at the back of her head.

She narrowed her eyes and commented, "Laidi's family has three daughters, right? How come the eldest and second daughters are married, and the youngest daughter is left to work in the fields in the countryside? I can tell she is not favored. You guys should stay away from her."

Grandma Wang was holding his precious dry pipe, puffing out smoke. Although he didn't say anything, everyone in the family knew that the old couple were of the same mind, and what Grandma Wang said was also his own voice.

This is the main reason why Ye Yu didn't meet any of his in-laws yesterday and today.

But when they heard the news from the neighbor's grandfather that his granddaughter came to visit with a basket full of gifts, the old couple's faces changed suddenly.

"My granddaughter is filial," Grandma Wang praised the neighboring grandfather, and urged and scolded her daughter-in-law and grandson-in-law, "Why don't you go pick up your niece/cousin!"

But Wang Chuangen was a fool: "Mom, didn't you say that we should stay away from Comrade Ye?"

"What Comrade Ye? She's your own niece!" Wang Chuangen's daughter-in-law Liu Hongmei pinched his waist hard, and had the same smile on her face as her mother-in-law. If you didn't know, you would think they were a mother and daughter!

Wang Dahu, Wang Erhu and their wives are no match for my mother and grandmother, so at least they appear to be obedient and do whatever they are told.

Wang Xiaohu, one of the twins, has his father's IQ and is also stupid, while Wang Xiaomei is incredibly smart, with her eyes moving around all the time.

As for the children, they blocked out everything and only knew that the neighbor grandfather said there was something delicious.

Delicious!

Looking forward to it!

So when Ye Yu arrived at her grandma and grandma's house, there was a row of people of different heights standing at the door to greet her.

Except for my grandma and grandma, everyone else came out. If you didn't know, you would think they were joining in some fun or getting together to make trouble!

Elm leaves:

???

"This is Xiaoyu, right? She looks just like your mother, with the same features and beauty!" Liu Hongmei greeted her warmly. Her words were as sweet as honey, and she could even tell lies. "Your grandma and grandma know you've come to the village, and they've been thinking about you. Before every meal, they tell you about Lai Di's life at home before she got married. You can't eat or sleep well, and they tell you three times a day. How pitiful are all the parents in the world!"

If she hadn't kept peeking into the basket, Ye Yu would have believed it.

Sure enough, Liu Hongmei said again: "You're here, so why are you bringing so many things? Why are you being polite to your family?" She asked Dahu and Erhu to help their cousin carry the heavy backpack, and occasionally slapped back the hands of their grandchildren who were reaching for the backpack.

This thing was originally prepared for them by Wang Laidie, so Ye Yu readily let it go.

And under Liu Hongmei's introduction, he called people or was called one by one, matching their names with their appearances.

Surrounded by a group of people, Ye Yu walked through the yard and came to the main hall. Before she sat down, she was confronted with the passionate performance of Grandma Wang. She held her hand and called her "my sweetheart" and "my flesh" and so on, and tears came easily.

Dreaming of the Grand View Garden, a classic play (bushi).

It’s just that Granny Wang acted really well, but Ye Yu was not a good actor, or rather, he was not interested in acting. He looked calm and composed, as if he was just enjoying the show.

Without anyone to cooperate, the show can't go on.

Granny Wang wiped her tears with her handkerchief without any embarrassment, as if she was able to control her tears with ease.
