Because it is Chinese New Year, all the members of Old Li's family are back today. The third and fourth wives who work in the city have also returned with their children, making the house particularly lively.
"My little sister and brother-in-law are back. Come in quickly. Don't stand outside. It's snowing so heavily and it's very cold."
"It's okay. I installed a windshield on the car, so it's not too cold."
Li Miaomiao was reminded of the modern electric car windshield and designed one for herself. Pei Guoan's car also has one. Although it is not as good as driving a car, it is much better.
"Little sister, thank you for last time. I didn't know you sent me anything until I got home. It was thanks to you that everyone was in such a panic. Your sister-in-law is timid and didn't dare to go out alone, not to mention there are children at home."
"That's right, little sister. It was all thanks to you last time."
It was only later that He Guixiang found out that her daughter had also sent gifts to her two sons in the county town.
"You guys used to say I was biased, but now you know your sister's advantages, right?
"Mom, look at what you said. We just complained a few times. When you gave something to my little sister, did we say anything? It was all up to you."
"That's right. The third and fourth brothers love their sister so much, otherwise we wouldn't be able to get those good things."
Li Miaomiao also laughed when she heard this and said, "Mom, you don't know that my third and fourth brothers have always loved bickering with me since we were little. In fact, they love me very much. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been so fat before. It's all thanks to my brothers. All the good things went into my stomach."
When the Li brothers heard what Li Miaomiao said, they smiled. They were of course happy that their sister knew their benefits, but then they felt distressed. They had worked so hard to raise their sister to be plump and white, but now she was so thin. Their sister must have suffered a lot.
"Little sister, look at how thin you are. Didn't your mother send you the food I brought back earlier?" Brother Li Si looked at his sister and said
Mrs. Li rolled her eyes when she heard this. She couldn't help it. Her husband was really double-standard towards his wife and sister.
"I think my little sister is fine like this. She looks good. Why does she have to be so fat?"
She has been spoiled since she was a child. Although she knew that her husband took things back to subsidize her sister-in-law, she did not care much.
"You know what? Only those who are fat and white are blessed!"
Brother Li nodded in agreement. The other brothers and the old couple all had the same idea.
Mrs. Li couldn't help but glance at her husband. "Little sister is still beautiful like this. Don't listen to your third brother. He also likes slim and good-looking girls. If I wasn't good-looking, if I was a little fat, your third brother would not like me."
Li Miaomiao found her two sisters-in-law's words a little funny: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Mom, what delicious food did you make today?"
"By the way, I'm still stewing chicken soup. Go check on the fire."
After being reminded by Li Miaomiao, He Guixiang slapped her thigh and ran to the kitchen. Several daughters-in-law of the Li family also hurried to the kitchen to help.
Apart from the episode at the beginning, the New Year's Eve dinner was very enjoyable. Li Miaomiao also agreed with her parents, brother and sister-in-law to have New Year's Eve dinner at their home on the third day of the Lunar New Year.
"Okay, I'll definitely come that day!"
Mrs. Li Si was the first to agree. After all these years, it was the first time that her sister-in-law invited her to dinner. It was quite new, so she would definitely go.
Others also responded, and had some of the same ideas.
The original owner thought it was too troublesome before, and since the family had not yet split up and no one was invited, she was too lazy to bother with it.
"Then it's settled."
After returning from her mother's home, Li Miaomiao went to the soap factory again. By this time, the factory was almost about to close for the holiday.
"Guoan's wife, once this truckload of goods is delivered to the county, we'll be so busy this year that we'll almost have a holiday. We still need you to take care of the delivery, since no one in our village can drive a truck."
"Okay, it's not a big deal. I'll go to the county town tomorrow to pick up some goods."
Li Miaomiao also planned to go to the county town to buy some more ingredients and prepare the dishes for the New Year's Eve dinner. The weather was cold at this time, so the food could be kept for a long time. Besides, everyone was on holiday on the 30th, the first and the second day of the New Year, so it was not convenient to buy things.
On the 29th, Li Miaomiao got up early in the morning to prepare meals. Pei Guoan, who had been on duty for the previous two days, also got up early on this day to help Li Miaomiao.
"See, I told you that the second brother didn't take you seriously. He invited everyone to the New Year's dinner, but he didn't invite you, the eldest brother."
"It's all because of you. If you hadn't offended the second brother's wife so badly and made him hold a grudge against me, he wouldn't have treated me, his eldest brother, like this."
"How can you blame me for this? Wasn't it you who agreed to the separation in the first place?"
The couple blamed each other for Li Miaomiao's New Year's dinner but not them. Li Miaomiao saw that Liu Lin also came back to celebrate the New Year together.
"Fourth sister-in-law, your belly is so big, why are you back at this time? The roads are slippery in the snow."
Li Miaomiao saw Liu Lin coming and quickly asked her to come in and sit by the fire.
Pei Guoqiang supported Liu Lin, holding a lot of things in his hands: "I also tried to persuade her, but Linlin insisted on coming, saying that the dishes cooked by the second sister-in-law are the most delicious."
"That's right, don't worry, sister-in-law. We'll be careful and nothing will happen. It's mainly because I'm really greedy."
"In that case, eat more later."
As Li Miaomiao said this, she remembered that there was still chicken soup in the pot, so she served a bowl to Liu Lin.
"They say pregnant women get hungry easily. Fourth sister-in-law, drink a bowl of chicken soup first. It's warm and will warm you up."
As they were talking, the third family also came over. Chen Xuexiang looked at Li Miaomiao serving Liu Lin such a big bowl of chicken soup with so much meat in it, and felt a little uncomfortable.
She has been pregnant so many times, but Li Miaomiao has never shown any expression. Instead, she is so considerate to the fourth son's wife. It's just because she is a city person.
When Daya and Erya saw Chen Xuexiang's expression, they knew what their mother was thinking and were speechless.
Seeing his own mother sitting by the fire and showing no intention of going to the kitchen to help, and his fourth aunt being pregnant and even his grandmother busy in the kitchen, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Second Aunt, let's go to the kitchen to help you."
The two sisters were the most sensible. Even though Li Miaomiao said it was not necessary, they still followed her to the kitchen and busy themselves around.
Looking at the troublesome Chen Xuexiang and then at the two sensible children, Li Miaomiao sighed in her heart and felt a little pity for the sisters Daya and Erya.
"Da Ya and Er Ya, our village school will open after the New Year. You can come to my place and get a set of textbooks to prepare for the class so that you can catch up when school starts."
Daya and Erya's faces darkened when they heard this.
Li Miaomiao looked at the two children and asked, "What's wrong? Is it possible that your parents don't plan to send you to school?"
