Yu Xiangyan not only wanted to teach Liang Yong a lesson, he also wanted to make up for Zhou Boyang's.
He was not present when Yu Xianghai put the sack on him before, which was a pity. Now that he is back, he should make up for it.
After a good night's sleep, the next day, Yu Xiangan, Yu Qingshan and Yu Manchang had to go to work, leaving Yu Xiangyan, Yu Xiangqing, Zhao Qiaoniang and the two children at home.
With Yu Xiangyan around, there was no shortage of people to do the physical work of grinding beans. Wen Ruzhen and Wen Yizhen were not familiar with the family, so Yu Xiangyan always took them with him.
Yu Xiangqing knew what her second sister-in-law's life was like in the past. When they worked together, she thought she was ignorant and lazy, but she didn't expect that she was more skilled than she thought.
On second thought, that's right. When the two siblings went to the countryside, they must have had to accept it slowly on their own.
It was indeed true. When they first went to the countryside, they suffered all kinds of hardships. It was only after she got used to the countryside that she accepted Yu Xiangyan's pursuit. Before that, she did all the work by herself.
Yu Xiangyan helped to grind the beans, and then took the things to his grandmother's house. His granddaughter-in-law had come, so of course she had to meet the two old people.
Yu Xiangyan emphasized to the somewhat nervous Wen Ruzhen once again: "My grandparents are very nice people. Don't worry, they are just like my dad, very open-minded. We don't have many relatives in the county town, and my grandfather and uncle are all in the countryside. They will definitely like you when they see you."
Yu Xiangyan is very optimistic about his family. When his grandfather saw how good his wife was, he just extended his hand and said it was a good thing. He was so confident in his wife.
After all, his wife is really good, beautiful, kind-hearted, dexterous, and loyal.
Qin Qiang and Yao Cuifen basically stay at home after retirement, but now if Yu Xiangqing hadn't come and told her in advance, they would have gone out.
If this incident had not happened, Yao Cuifen would have continued to bring Yu Xiangqing to show up in front of her old sisters.
Like Yu Xiangqing, Yu Xiangyan also became darker after going to the countryside. He went there earlier than Yu Xiangqing, but in addition to becoming darker, he also became stronger and taller, and his physique looked strong.
Yao Cuifen patted his arm with satisfaction, feeling that he had not treated her unfairly.
"This is your wife. What's her name? I think it's Zhenzhen, right?"
Wen Ruzhen smiled shyly: "Yes, grandma, my name is Zhenzhen, and my full name is Wen Ruzhen."
Yao Cuifen knew about this a long time ago, so she didn't ask who her family was or whether they were there. She took out a red paper bag that she had prepared long ago and said, "You still have a long life ahead of you. Grandma really hopes that you two can live happily together until old age. If you two are of one mind, your life will get better and better."
Wen Ruzhen nodded seriously and glanced at Yu Xiangyan, "We will, grandma."
Listening to it, Yu Xiangyan grinned unconsciously, and there seemed to be a sparkle in his eyes as he looked at her.
In the past, I could only see this scene in my dreams, but now it has become a reality. I feel so happy.
"Your uncles and uncles all have jobs, and there are only two old people like us at home. Let's find some time so we can get to know each other." Qin Qiang said.
Yao Cuifen sighed, "They haven't had their holiday yet. When the New Year comes, everyone will be here."
They should have recognized each other when they got married, but they were far away at that time and there was nothing they could do. Now that they are back, they naturally have to make up for it.
Yu Xiangyan nodded: "Grandpa, I am also known as a great chef in the countryside. Many people invite me to prepare banquets, but there is a dish there that I have made many times, but it is not quite right..."
He talked to Qin Qiang about cooking, and Yao Cuifen took Wen Ruzhen aside to tell her how many people there were in the family and what their names were.
Yu Xiangyan had told Wen Ruzhen all this, and now Wen Ruzhen was very patient when listening to it again.
After they left, Yao Cuifen looked at the two of them leaning against each other and nodded, "Old man, what do you think? Can you live a peaceful life?"
Qin Qiang took a sip of tea and said, "At the moment, it seems that I have true feelings for him, although I can't tell how deep they are. But as time goes by and we have children, the shallow feelings will turn into deep feelings."
Yao Cuifen agreed: "I just talked a lot, and she was very patient. She was not perfunctory and was very polite. She is a good child. But the situation in her family, is it really okay?"
Qin Qiang didn't care: "Their siblings' household registration has been taken away with their mother, so it doesn't matter. When they return to the countryside, who knows what her family situation is like."
He knew about the Wen family. In the past, she was a young lady from a wealthy family. If it were not for the current world, his grandson would only be able to watch.
"It seems that she has a plan in mind. I guess she won't go out next time."
Wen Ruzhen and Wen Yizhen did not go out again. She had told Yu Xiangyan the reason. She did not want to be seen going out. If the news got to certain people's ears, there would be trouble again. She did not want to cause any trouble, nor did she want to be recognized and have a lot of weird things said to her. She just stayed at home.
She can also help at home. It's the New Year and there are many things to do. She is a new daughter-in-law, so she should be more diligent.
That night, Yu Xianghai, Yu Xiangyan and Yu Manchang said they were going out to chat with friends and went out after dinner.
No one told them where they were going, and no one knew what they were doing. However, the next day, Yao Cuifen heard that Liang Yong was dragged into an alley and beaten up at night. The murderer could not be found, and it was said that he would have to spend the New Year with a bruised face.
Yu Xiangqing heard the news, and when he thought back to the time they went out last night, he could easily think of who did it. He was touched and scared. Hearing that Liang Yong said he was not willing to let it go, he wanted to find the murderer and arrest him. He was nervous: "What if someone sees us? It's not worth it to get into trouble for someone like that."
Yu Xiangyan looked very innocent. "What are you talking about? We really went to chat with friends. If you don't believe me, go and ask him. He's my deskmate. You've seen him. Liang Yong was beaten. What does that have to do with me? Oh, no, it does have something to do with me. Who beat him? He's such a good man. I want to meet him and be friends with him."
Yu Xiangqing couldn't help laughing after hearing this. It was obvious that they were the ones who did it. Look at what they said. It turned out that the second brother was really thick-skinned.
As she laughed, she felt her nose getting a little sour, and something pressing on her heart seemed to have become lighter. She also felt that she had fought well, brilliantly, and wonderfully. If she, a woman, could not beat him, a man, she would have wanted to do the same a long time ago.
It feels good to have a brother to stand up for her.
Later, all the Yu family members knew the news. Yu Qingshan said a few words indifferently, asking the person who hit others to be careful and that it was too dangerous. However, an egg was added to the bottom of the bowls of the three brothers.
Brother San, who was eating, ate the egg: "..."
Is this a reward or a reward?
Zhao Qiaoniang is the one who cooks at home now, and she uses three eggs at a time. Could this not be what Yu Qingshan said?
After living at home for two days, Wen Ruzhen and her husband could already move around the house more freely. Just as Yu Xiangyan had said before, no one disliked her and everyone showed goodwill to them, including Zhao Qiaoniang. No one asked her any questions about her bringing her brother here, and no one mentioned her background. They were very sensible, understanding and caring for each other. She envied such a family atmosphere.
It was like this in her family before.
What also surprised her was that the Yu family seemed to be better off than she had expected.
When they just came back, they had bone soup to drink, then made tofu, and ate fish, or eggs or duck eggs. In short, there was a meat dish for every meal. Although it was a rare opportunity for them to come back, we had to nourish them well, and it was the New Year, so the supply of materials was relatively sufficient, but if they didn't have any financial resources, it would be difficult to nourish them in this way.
This made her feel less stressed. Before they got married, she had nothing and everything was paid for by Yu Xiangyan.
She gets along well with her two sisters-in-law. Generally, when a new daughter-in-law marries a woman, the most likely problems to arise are the relationships between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and between the sisters-in-law.
There is no need to worry too much about the relationship between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the Yu family. The other party is a stepmother. When she joined, Yu Xiangyan was already not young. It’s okay to respect each other. She has no confidence to make things difficult for her. As for the two sisters-in-law below, she only showed her good needlework and easily got a lot of praise.
Yu Xiangqing also learned from her how to make clothes. The younger sister-in-law said she had given up and didn't plan to learn it anymore, but they got along well. She also brought some books from her factory house so that the two of them could pass the time when they were bored.
These books were allowed to be read, and she was fine. Her brother was very happy to see them, as he loved reading the most. After going to the countryside, he no longer had this condition, and with books around, he could stay still all day, which made those who read them anxious.
Yu Xiangan moved back home since Yu Xiangqing came back, and would take a nap in the factory house during lunch break.
Yu Xiangqing had already looked inside the room, but Yu Xiangyan hadn't. Yu Xiangan asked if he wanted to go take a look, and Yu Xiangyan agreed immediately, "I would have asked even if you didn't tell me. I want to see what your house is like. I heard my elder brother write in the letter that you made the house very beautiful, so I'd like to take a look."
Yu Xiangan was silent for a moment, and said slowly: "I can't really say it's that good, it's just average. If you see it, you will agree with me."
Yu Xiangyan, "How can this be the same? You worked hard on this alone. I just want to see your medal of honor. This idea was yours. It's amazing. Why didn't anyone think of this at the beginning? Now I see that many factories are being built, and they are all inspired by you."
Speaking of this, Yu Qingshan was also very proud, "Your sister is smart." In this respect, she is like me, she has a very flexible mind.
But he didn't say the latter sentence.
If you say it out loud, it's almost the same as Yu Xiangyan.
Wen Ruzhen and Wen Yizhen didn't want to go, so Yu Xiangqing took him there.
"Xiao An is at work. I'll take you there. The doorman remembers me."
Yu Xiangju raised his hand: "Remember me too!"
He lived there for a while.
After they arrived, the gatekeeper asked a few questions and let them in.
Arriving at the two buildings, Yu Xiangyan nodded: "Sure, my little sister lives in the back, right?"
Yu Xiangyan felt that the location of the house his younger sister had drawn was also very good. She would become neighbors with many leaders, and would go up and down the stairs with them. If anything happened, she could just walk around the building and get a lot of information.
There is a saying that goes "near water, near tower."
Song Shujing's door was open, and she was knitting in the sunshine. When she saw them coming, she smiled and said, "Xiaoqing, you're here. This is..."
Yu Xiangqing greeted, "Sister Song, this is my second brother."
That is also Xiao An’s second brother.
She smiled: "Hello."
Yu Xiangqing introduced Yu Xiangyan: "This is Xiaoan's neighbor. We all call her Sister Song."
Yu Xiangqing took out the key and opened the door, "This is the house Xiao An won."
Yu Xiangyan took a look and said, "It has everything it needs." It would be a great wedding room for my younger sister.
This way she won't have to live with her mother-in-law, sisters-in-law, and sister-in-law anymore.
Even if you are a man, after seeing a lot, you will know how difficult these relationships are.
My sister has this house. Even if she doesn't want to look for a husband now, she can find a man with decent personal conditions and a good family background after five or ten years.
He checked the doors, windows and walls of his house and left.
This place is equivalent to his sister's room. He has an older brother who is about the same age, so it's hard to take a closer look.
Then, apart from accompanying his wife and working at home, Yu Xiangyan would visit his former classmates and friends to keep in touch.
He has many friends, and he still keeps in touch with them through correspondence during his long time in the countryside. Now that he is back, he naturally wants to go and see them.
Some of his classmates took over classes at home, while others went to the countryside as educated youth. Generally speaking, more people went to the countryside.
At that time, every household generally had many children. Their mother gave birth to seven, and five of them are still alive. This number is not too many, but not too few either.
He has a classmate whose mother gave birth to twelve children, which is by far the most children he knows.
If you are not the eldest son or the youngest son, there is a high chance that you will go to the countryside once you reach a certain age.
When he went to visit some friends whose homes were near Zhou's, he would also stroll around the area near Zhou's.
He didn't want to admit that he had made a mistake, whether it was Liang Yong or Zhou Boyang.
He had thought that although these two men were not the best brothers-in-law, they were acceptable. He had never expressed any objection, but the result was...bang bang bang.
His face hurts.
It turns out that he is not very good at judging people.
Now Liang Yong has already beaten his sister to vent his anger. Zhou Boyang was not there when his eldest brother was put in the sack, so he was absent. He has to find a chance to make up for it.
It's been so long since the incident happened, it's a bit boring to keep talking about the same thing. Now fewer people are talking about their triangle relationship. Zhou Boyang has already lived a normal life. As for his stepsister, she is now eight or nine months pregnant and is about to give birth.
She seldom went out. He turned around several times but never saw her face. Only once did he see her back walking by the window.
His family severed ties with her and he had never met her.
There was no open contact between the Yu family and her, but it would not be surprising if Zhao Qiaoniang had private contact with her.
After all, she is her only daughter, and they are biological mother and daughter. She is pregnant now and needs care. As long as Aunt Qiao can grasp the right balance and not let them pretend nothing happened and restore their relationship, everyone can pretend nothing happened.
Generally speaking, stepmother is a sensitive word. It is easy for a stepmother to be harsh on the previous child, and then the biological father also becomes the stepfather.
For example, Ding Minxiu.
After her younger brother was born, no one reminded him and Ding Fahai forgot about his daughter at all.
But their situation is different.
One reason is that they have many brothers and sisters. When she first came in, Yu Xianghai was already working overtime and getting paid. Not long after that, Ye Qijiajia came in.
Except for the youngest brother, all of them are already quite old, and the Qin family is not far away. Grandma often comes over. Of course, the most important thing is that their father is on their side and will not become a stepfather just because of their stepmother. If there was enough financial resources and energy to take care of them, the twin sisters might have grown up safely. Their father married her for the sake of the children.
Another reason is that Zhao Qiaoniang has no formal job, her home is not in the county town, her parents have passed away, she has a bad relationship with her brothers, and she has a daughter. She cannot give birth to another child, so she cannot stand up straight.
They, the brothers and sisters, had never experienced the torture of their stepmother, so they could calmly call her Aunt Qiao and treat her as a distant relative.
She was not aware of this incident, and he was able to separate her from Ding Minxiu. If she had known about this incident, the result would naturally be different...
Today he went to the home of a high school classmate. He got married early, the year he graduated from high school. His child is now one year old. He went to visit with gifts. On his way back, he took a detour and arrived near Zhou's house, where he happened to meet Zhao Qiaoniang.
Moreover, every few steps she took, she would look back and let him follow quietly behind her to see what she wanted to do. She looked so cautious. This place was near Zhou's house. Should she be looking for Ding Minxiu?
In a secluded corner, Yu Xiangyan saw Ding Minxiu standing there.
Yu Xiangyan: "..."
She really didn't need to look like a thief when she came to see her.
When Zhao Qiaoniang saw the person, she walked up to her quickly and gave her the children's clothes that she had secretly made.
Seeing that the baby was about to be born, she made two pieces of clothing for him.
Ding Minxiu took the small clothes she made and looked at it, frowning slightly. This was not made of a whole piece of cloth, and it didn't feel very soft. It looked a little old. She didn't know how long the cloth had been there.
She held it without saying a word.
Zhao Qiaoniang reminded her of a few issues to pay attention to. Ding Minxiu was a little impatient and said, "Okay, I know everything you said. Now that you are done, I want to go back."
When Yu Xiangyan stuck his head out again, he saw Zhao Qiaoniang's back as she hurried away. Ding Minxiu was still standing there, looking at the small clothes in her hands for a long time before she walked back.
Yu Xiangyan decided to go back and ask his elder brother if he knew about Zhao Qiaoniang's relationship with He Ding Minxiu, and whether her family had said anything that made her behave like this.
Yu Xianghai was a little confused: "I don't know, I haven't heard her mention Ding Minxiu, so there should be some contact. We only knew about the incident with Fourth Sister when she wrote back to us."
Yu Xianghai added: "She might be afraid that we would be angry if we knew. You were not here before, so you didn't see how bad Dad's face was."
"After returning home, grandma scolded her."
Yu Xiangyan nodded thoughtfully.
On New Year's Eve, Lin Chuanbai finally had a day off. As he had to take care of patients during holidays while working in the hospital, he only had two days off this year, New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year. He asked someone to switch jobs, so he only had one day off on New Year's Eve and another day off on the second day of the New Year.
In the evening, everyone sat down at the table to eat the New Year's Eve dinner.
But the table was not full.
Lin Duzhong sat in the main seat.
On the left are Lin Jiqing, Xu Haili, Lin Nanxing, and Lin Chuanqiong, and on the right sits Lin Chuanbai.
There are six people in total.
Just now, Lin Duzhong received a call from his eldest son, telling him Happy New Year. He is over there and is still at his post at this time.
As the factory director, he stayed and spent the New Year with other people who stayed in the factory to continue production.
Of course I can't come back.
If he doesn't come back, his later wife and children will not come back either.
My eldest grandson is in Shanghai and he has a holiday during the Chinese New Year, but it takes too long to go back and forth. If he comes back, his holiday will be over before he gets back, so it is not realistic for him to come back.
The eldest granddaughter lives nearby, but she is married and has her own family, so she wanted to come back. She came back on the second day of the Chinese New Year when she visited her parents' home.
Lin Duzhong looked left and right and felt that it was too empty.
If nothing goes wrong, the eldest grandson will settle down in Shanghai. The younger grandson is still in school. If we want to have more children in the family, we can only rely on Chuanbai and Nanxing.
Nanxing has her mother to take care of things, but Chuanbai is different. Lin Duzhong looked at him and said, "Don't you think you are old enough to get married? Tomorrow, you will be nineteen."
Lin Chuanbai was a little amused.
Xu Haili rolled her eyes. She didn't want him to get married so soon as her son was still young.
So she sighed, "Dad, he still needs to learn from you and is going to get married, so you should be distracted. He is still young, so there is no rush."
Lin Chuanbai rarely agreed with her: "Yes, don't worry."
There is no rush to find a partner. If he wants to find one now, the other party will usually be younger than him, about 16 or 17 years old. This age is too young and he feels guilty.
It won’t be too late to consider it slowly when he is thirty years old.
Lin Duzhong was helpless, but he would not force it. He could only change the subject. "Tomorrow, on the first day of the new year, before you go to work in the morning, remember to go to Uncle Wang's house with your brother to pay New Year's greetings..."
Lin Chuanbai has two days off, and Yu Xiangan has four days off for the New Year.
New Year's Eve to the third day of the New Year.
They spent New Year's Eve together as a family, paid New Year's greetings on the first day of the new year, went to the Qin family on the second day of the new year, and returned to their hometown in the countryside on the third day of the new year.
The arrangements are clear.
The New Year’s Eve meal was very sumptuous. Yu Xiangan and Yu Xiangyan were the chefs, with Zhao Qiaoniang, Yu Xiangqing and Wen Ruzhen helping out.
Braised beef cubes, braised pig's trotters with soybeans, braised fish, sweet and sour spare ribs, braised tofu, steamed egg with dried shrimp, braised lotus root, steamed meatballs, steamed ham, and bone and radish soup.
Ten dishes, all perfect.
When all the dishes were served, Yu Xiangju stuttered: "So many dishes!"
He had a dreamy expression on his face.
Yu Xiangju swallowed his saliva. Ye Qijia next to him asked him to wash his hands, but he didn't hear at all.
I couldn't hear anything, as all my attention was drawn to the food on the table.
This is the life that gods live, right?
The beef was brought out by Yu Xiangan, the pig's trotter was "exchanged" by Yu Xiangan with someone, the big fat fish was brought by Yu Xianghai, and the ham was brought back by Yu Xiangyan.
The others were bought after queuing up.
You add one, I add one, and the dish becomes so rich.
Yu Qingshan looked at the dishes, then looked at the whole family, all of whom were there, and he almost laughed to the point of losing his eyes.
When he was making paper yesterday, Xiao An told him that if everything went well, they could open a collective workshop in the Red Star Brigade in the future, and after upgrading it, they could secure a quota of workers. Then they would have a reason to let Yu Xiangyan and the others come back.
Yu Qingshan specially took out his treasured wine and poured a little bit for everyone except Yu Xiangju, Yu Mingjie, and the pregnant woman Ye Qijia.
Yu Qingshan was the first to pick up his glass: "This year is over, I hope we can all eat more and be safe and happy next year!"
Zhao Qiaoniang: "Always smile."
Yu Xianghai: "This year has passed, and I'm one year older. I have to work harder and strive to get promoted soon." If he gets promoted, his salary will also increase, and he will have more money.
Ye Qijia: "Peace is a blessing."
Yu Xiangyan: "Next year everyone will move up a level, and I want to get promoted too." He wants to get promoted and become a father.
Wen Ruzhen: "My family is safe."
Wen Yizhen: "In good health."
Yu Xiangqing: "Next year I will be promoted to an aunt again, so I have to work hard." If you write more articles, you will be able to succeed.
Yu Xiangan: "I hope we can have enough food and clothes every day, and the day when we can travel by car will come sooner."
Yu Xiangju: "I am an uncle. I want to be a role model for my nephews and nieces. Next year when I go to school, I will study hard and make progress every day. I want to grow up quickly!"
Everyone said something, and after that, they drank the wine in one gulp. Yu Qingshan said, “Let’s eat!”
After the words fell, everyone picked up their chopsticks and couldn't wait to launch the most fierce attack on their desired target.
