"What disaster? Mom, it shouldn't be that serious. This year's harvest is so good, and every household has a surplus of grain."
He Guixiang looked at Li Miaomiao with the air of someone who had experienced this: "You don't know this. There are unexpected events in the world. Although we have a good harvest this year, it's hard to say what next year will be like. And I remember hearing your great-aunt say before that there will be disasters in our area in the next few years. I'm afraid this is the one that will happen."
Li Miaomiao knew that this cousin's grandmother used to be a fortune teller who could tell fortunes and draw talismans, and it was said that her skills were quite effective. Although Li Miaomiao thought it was a scam, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise now.
Li Miaomiao knew that He Guixiang believed this, so she deliberately said, "Mom, your cousin's words are trustworthy. She must not be lying. How could there be so many disasters, and she predicted them so accurately? You can't spread this nonsense. It's okay if I heard it, but if others hear it, I will report it to the police."
"Don't worry, I'm very careful. Do I need you to remind me of this? I'm always careful outside. But your great-aunt's predictions are very accurate, and God has given you a warning."
"Mom, what you're saying is getting more and more mysterious. You're even saying it's a warning from God. I think I feel that way because I've been hungry before, so I feel uncomfortable when I mention exchanging food."
"No matter why, you should keep the food and don't sell it. I think food is cheap now, so we can buy some more. But don't make a big fuss about it. Buy it quietly and don't buy too much at once, otherwise people will find out."
When Li Miaomiao heard what He Guixiang said, she realized that people living in this era all have their own set of survival wisdom and are very alert without her reminder.
"Mom, I know everything. It's quiet where I am, just our family. If we bought it secretly, no one would know. But here you are, there are many people and they are nosy. Otherwise, I would secretly send you some food and hide it when I need it."
"No need, your mother, you don't even know what I'm doing. Keep it safe and make sure no one knows I'm secretly hoarding food."
He Guixiang was very confident about this and said it with a pat on his chest.
Thinking of He Guixiang's previous great achievements, otherwise she would have received food from time to time, which was secretly hidden by her brothers and sisters-in-law. Li Miaomiao felt that this adopted mother was definitely a talent.
"Mom, I came back with something else. The soap factory in our village is almost finished. If you want to work there, you need to undergo training in advance. I estimate that recruitment will start in the next two days. Tell the team leader to be prepared. Although he has been given a position, he still needs to go through a round of interviews. Those who are not suitable will be rejected. Tell him to be prepared."
Li Miaomiao remembered something and spoke again, which was considered a proper reason for her return. Otherwise, if she said that she came to visit her eldest sister-in-law from her natal family, regardless of whether outsiders believed it or not, her sisters-in-law from her natal family would probably feel uncomfortable about it.
You have to know that she didn't care about her sisters-in-law so much before. She didn't care about their assistance when they gave birth. Not to mention sending gifts before the birth, she didn't even show any appreciation after the children were born. The gifts she sent were prepared by her parents-in-law and husband to avoid being impolite.
"Okay, I'll tell the captain. Seriously, you've been bothered by this matter. If anyone wants to use their connections in the same village to cause you trouble in the future, don't pay any attention. There are some shameless people like that."
"Mom, am I the kind of nosy person your daughter is? This time, I'm just doing this because the captain is kind enough to take care of our family."
After returning from her mother's house, Li Miaomiao discussed the matter with Pei Guoan when she went home in the evening because her mother and sister-in-law had been nagging her.
"Tell me, am I prettier like this? You men all like skinny and slender women."
Pei Guoan raised his eyebrows
"You want to hear the truth?"
"Of course!"
Li Miaomiao thought this was not nonsense. She thought Pei Guoan's answer should be the same as what she thought. Men are creatures that like delicate and weak beauties.
"You are indeed too thin now. Women should be more plump. You were too fat before, which was not good for your health. But it would be better if you lose some weight. You are too thin now. You look better with a plump figure."
As Pei Guoan said this, he thought of Li Miaomiao's appearance in the photo. Although he thought she was fat at the time, she didn't look too bad, at least within the acceptable range. It was only after hearing about Li Miaomiao's personality that he felt a little disgusted.
But now that he knew his wife's personality, coupled with her chubby appearance, Pei Guoan just thought that such a wife was weirdly cute. The photographer only captured Li Miaomiao's appearance but not her charm. The Li Miaomiao in the photo did not have the lively and agile Li Miaomiao in real life at all.
Listening to Pei Guoan's words, Li Miaomiao was shocked. Is it true that Pei Yifan's weird aesthetic taste is hereditary?
"Pei Guoan, what you said is fake, how could you like fat people, obviously..."
"Mingming what?"
"Nothing." Li Miaomiao smiled awkwardly. She couldn't answer this question. It was obvious that Pei Guoan in the book only had disgust towards Li Miaomiao, and later he was even heartless to her.
However, thinking about what the original owner had done, Li Miaomiao had no right to blame the male protagonist. After all, no man could stand his wife wearing a woman's hat on him, and the original owner even abandoned her son and remarried.
"Why are you talking about this all of a sudden?"
"That's not my mom and sister-in-law. They both say I look better when I'm fatter, but it's obvious that I look better when I'm thinner."
"Mother-in-law and sister-in-law are both right. You need to gain some weight. Although you look good now, you will look better with some weight."
Li Miaomiao was not bewitched by Pei Guoan after hearing this. She liked this kind of figure. She was thin and beautiful for herself, and she didn't want to get fat.
"Dad is right. Mom used to look better when she was plump and white. Mom, you should eat more. Don't listen to the nonsense of those old women in the village. Whoever says that men only like thin people has a problem with their eyesight!"
As a little man, Pei Yifan felt that he had a say in this matter and found common ground with his father.
My mother's ideas are so weird. How can she think that a woman will look good if she looks like a skinny monkey? Although my mother is still good-looking now, she is not as good-looking as when she was chubby. Just like what my grandmother said, all the flesh she gained before is gone in vain.
Li Miaomiao's mouth twitched when she heard this, and she rarely did not respond to her son's words.
No matter how cute and lovable her son is, it cannot change her aesthetic perception. Although she admits that some fat people look good, she herself wants to be thin.
Pei Yifan was helpless about his mother's stubbornness. He looked at his father and gathered all his strength to make his mother fat, because fat people are blessed.
Fortunately, Li Miaomiao didn't hear what her son was thinking, otherwise she would be speechless. At such a young age, his head was full of old ladies' thoughts.
