Chapter 29: Nonsense "No more nonsense in the morning!"...
Wang Ying sat on the back of the bicycle, thinking that he had done everything he could, and it all depended on the performance of Director Zhao and Deputy Director Gao.
It was already late when the two of them returned home. Chen Xiuqin was in the kitchen preparing dinner. When she heard them return, she poked her head out of the kitchen and asked, "Did you find your dad?"
"Found it," Zhao Yunsheng said. "It's at Uncle Gao's house. I've already told him."
"That's fine." Chen Xiuqin turned around and went to prepare dinner.
Wang Ying went to the kitchen and said, "Mom, let me make dinner."
"Let's do it together. We saved some food for lunch. We'll prepare some more and heat it up when your dad comes back." Chen Xiuqin said, "By the way, your eldest sister and Dongbao love the sweater you knitted for Dongbao. Dongbao refused to leave and is waiting for his aunt to come back."
"As long as you like it." Wang Ying smiled and saw that there were fresh amaranths in the basket. She took a small stool and sat down to pick them.
"Your second sister wanted you to knit her a dress for adults based on Dongbao's pattern, but I turned her down," Chen Xiuqin said. "Tell her to come find you herself."
"Can my second sister weave? If she has nothing to do, she can come and learn from me," said Wang Ying.
"Of course she will, but she has no patience and refuses to come back now. She is also angry with her father," said Chen Xiuqin.
"Because of work?" Wang Ying said.
"Yunsheng told you? It was just a work matter, wasn't it? You can't blame your dad entirely for that. With his personality, it's impossible for him to get anything done through the back door. Your second sister is still furious and doesn't say a word to your dad when she sees him."
Zhao Yunsheng locked the car and came to the kitchen. He heard the conversation between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law and said, "There's an exam coming up soon. Tell the second sister to take it herself."
"She might not pass the exam," Chen Xiuqin said. "Have you found your father and convinced him?"
Wang Ying said, "We'll decide at the meeting tomorrow."
Zhao Yunsheng moved a small stool and sat opposite Wang Ying, picking amaranth with her.
While the three people from the Zhao family were preparing dinner together, Wang Hui started quarreling again at the Du family.
It was all about mooncakes. Du Jianguo had asked his grandmother for two mooncakes as a holiday gift that morning, and they were brought to Wang's house. Wang Yongren woke up and said he wanted to eat some mooncakes. Wang Hui, wanting to show her filial piety, gave her own mooncake to her father. But when she peeled off the wax paper, the mooncake had grown mold.
Wang Hui blushed on the spot and scolded Du Jianguo at her mother's house.
Du Jianguo, of course, felt humiliated, and even during Wang Hui's outburst, he didn't dare to utter a word, his face reddening all the way to his neck. Li Fengju and Wang Yongren, however, still gave their son-in-law face, insisting it wasn't intentional, that it wasn't a big deal, that it was just two mooncakes, and the old man couldn't bear to eat them, and wouldn't know if they had gone bad.
Wang Hui, however, felt as if the sky was falling. The last time she sent a return gift, it was much less than her elder sister's. This time, when she sent a Mid-Autumn Festival gift, something like this happened again. She was so aggrieved that she kept crying.
Wang Yongren and Li Fengju finally managed to calm Wang Hui down, and told her not to mention it when she got home, and to pretend nothing had happened. They also told Du Jianguo to secretly check if the old man had any moldy mooncakes. If so, they should immediately throw them away to prevent the old man from accidentally eating them and causing harm to his health.
Wang Hui had promised at home that she would not cause any trouble when she returned. But when she returned to the Du family's house, Du Jianguo's grandmother accused her of coming home too late. Du Wenli was also mumbling something beside her, which immediately ignited Wang Hui's anger. Standing in the yard, she started arguing with Du Jianguo's grandmother and Du Wenli.
Sun Qiaoling was in the kitchen, unhappy that Wang Hui had stayed so late at her parents' home. There was a lot of work to do at home, and someone had to do it. She heard her mother-in-law scolding Wang Hui, but she didn't say anything, nor did she go out to see what was going on. Unexpectedly, Wang Hui and the old woman started arguing, and she dropped the dishes she was cooking and ran out to the yard.
Wang Hui stood in the middle of the yard and shouted, "I've never seen a family like you. My sister-in-law stole the festival gift and refused to admit it, even blaming me. The old lady gave me two moldy mooncakes as compensation. How can you bully me like this?"
Du Jianguo stood beside Wang Hui, pulled Wang Hui's arm, and tried to pull her back to the room. Wang Hui was so angry that she was very stubborn, and Du Jianguo couldn't pull her back.
Sun Qiaoling was afraid that the neighbors would hear, so she hurried to comfort Wang Hui: "Huihui, it's the holiday, don't argue for now, tell mom if you have anything to say."
Sun Qiaoling was not at home in the morning and didn't know about the mooncake incident. When she heard Wang Hui talk about it, she glared at Du Wenli. Du Wenli shrank her neck and ran back to her room.
Du Jianguo's grandmother also went back to her room with a cane.
Wang Hui pointed at Du Wenli's room and said, "Mom, if you don't take care of her, she'll die! She's not much younger than me, and she'll get married in a few years. Is she stealing food when she goes to her husband's house?"
Sun Qiaoling also knew that Du Wenli was disobedient, but she was still unhappy when she heard what Wang Hui said. After all, she was her own daughter, and Wang Hui's words were a slap in her face.
"Okay, okay, Mom will talk to her later. You go back to your room first and don't make a noise outside. It will be embarrassing if others hear us." Sun Qiaoling coaxed Wang Hui and coaxed her back to her room.
Wang Hui sat on the edge of the bed. The more she thought about it, the more wronged she felt. Tears kept flowing. She had only been married for a short time, and she had already cried so many times!
Du Jianguo stood by and watched, feeling uncomfortable. He also felt that it was his family's fault this time, but he was also unhappy because Wang Hui got angry at him in front of his father-in-law and mother-in-law at her parents' home.
"Why are you standing here like a log? Go get Huihui a towel!" Sun Qiaoling said to Du Jianguo in a bad mood.
Du Jianguo went to get a towel without saying a word. Sun Qiaoling took it and wiped Wang Hui's face.
"It's my fault that I wasn't home this morning. This is what happened," Sun Qiaoling said. "Mom will bring some gifts to apologize to your parents later."
Wang Hui felt relieved after hearing what Sun Qiaoling said. She sobbed and said, "Mom, I really didn't mean to make a scene. You don't know how embarrassed I was when I saw my dad peeling out a hairy mooncake. It's not just embarrassing for me, but also for the Du family."
"Wenli really shouldn't have done that. Mom will definitely teach her a lesson. Your grandma is old, she probably didn't do it on purpose," said Sun Qiaoling.
"My parents advised me the same thing, but when I came back, they still did the same thing..." Wang Hui felt really aggrieved.
"Mom knows, Mom knows, don't cry. It's the day of reunion. Jianguo, you comfort Huihui and I'll make dinner." Sun Qiaoling still had fish stewing in the pot. If she hadn't been there to buy the fish in the morning, she wouldn't have been away from home and caused such a thing.
Wang Hui was feeling aggrieved and didn't offer to help, so Sun Qiaoling went back to the kitchen alone.
Du Jianguo stayed by Wang Hui's side, not knowing how to comfort her. After a long pause, he finally said, "Huihui, I will treat you well. Just for my sake, don't bother with my family."
After hearing what Du Jianguo said, Wang Hui felt like her breath was stuck in her throat, unable to go up or down.
A full moon gradually rises, and every family has a reunion dinner.
Director Zhao came back under the moonlight. The family had already prepared the meal and were waiting for him.
"Why don't you eat first?" Director Zhao said.
Chen Xiuqin said, "We dare not eat until the head of the family comes back."
Director Zhao chuckled, washed his hands, and sat in the main seat to eat.
Today, the Zhao family's dinner table boasted a large bowl of braised pork, stewed tofu, scrambled eggs, stir-fried amaranth, and fish soup, making a perfect four-course meal. Besides these dishes, there were also two cans of oranges, four mooncakes, four apples, and two pomegranates. For the time, this was a truly excellent meal.
At the dinner table, the family did not talk about business anymore. They only talked about Zhao Yunfei and Zhao Yunfang coming back today. The two sisters chatted about family matters and praised Wang Ying's knitting skills.
After dinner, the family admired the moon in the yard for a while, talked for a while, and then went back to their rooms.
Before going to bed, Zhao Yunsheng continued to tell Wang Ying the story of the old foreign landlord, and soon Wang Ying fell asleep.
Wang Ying slept until dawn, glanced at his watch, and got up to make breakfast. Zhao Yunsheng woke up as soon as Wang Ying moved. He glanced at his watch and pulled Wang Ying, who had just sat up, into his arms again.
"What are you doing? It's so early in the morning. I have to go downstairs to make dinner." Wang Ying put his arms on Zhao Yunsheng's chest to prevent him from touching her.
"It will be over in a while. It's still early. There's still time..." Zhao Yunsheng clamped Wang Ying with his legs and moved closer.
Wang Ying was only a little over 1.60 meters tall, while Zhao Yunsheng was over 1.80 meters tall. Wang Ying had no chance of getting over him, and he quickly succeeded...
The two of them had a fight early in the morning. Wang Ying glared at Zhao Yunsheng while getting dressed, "No more fooling around in the mornings!"
"Who told you to go to bed so early at night?" Zhao Yunsheng said with a grin.
Wang Ying kicked him: "I hate it so much."
"Hey, you just hugged me and said you loved me." Zhao Yunsheng hooked Wang Ying's leg with his foot.
"You forced me to say that." Wang Ying kicked Zhao Yunsheng away and got off the bed.
Zhao Yunsheng followed Wang Ying out of bed and they went downstairs together. It was still early, enough for Wang Ying to prepare breakfast for the family. Zhao Yunsheng was not idle either. After washing up, he came to help.
Wang Ying felt that Zhao Yunsheng's ability to see things clearly was worthy of praise, but he didn't know how long he could keep it up.
After breakfast, Zhao Yunsheng and the others went to work, leaving Wang Ying as the only one left in the family. She cleaned up the dishes and went upstairs to continue knitting a sweater for Zhao Yunsheng.
A day passed quickly, and Wang Ying knitted a long sweater all day.
When it was time to get off work, Zhao Yunsheng was the first to arrive home. As soon as he came back, he went to the kitchen to look for Wang Ying.
"Mom and Dad haven't come back yet?" Zhao Yunsheng asked.
"Well, you are the most active one after get off work." Wang Ying said.
Zhao Yunsheng chuckled: "I'm fine."
"By the way, how is your female colleague doing recently?" Wang Ying suddenly thought of Song Yin.
"It's okay. Everyone in the unit knows that I'm married. What can she do?" said Zhao Yunsheng.
Wang Ying laughed: "Didn't I come to you to confide my feelings again?"
"Even if she dares to complain, I dare not listen. I am a married man and I only listen to my wife's true feelings." Zhao Yunsheng came to Wang Ying and saw Wang Ying peeling garlic. He also took a head of garlic and peeled it in his hands.
Wang Ying just smiled and said nothing, so Zhao Yunsheng teased her, asking her to "tell her true feelings." Wang Ying said she had no words and couldn't express them, so she asked Zhao Yunsheng to tell her so she could learn from him.
Zhao Yunsheng was shameless. While peeling garlic, he recited a poem to Wang Ying. His voice was low, in a broadcasting voice, and he was reciting a foreign love poem, something about love, roses...
When he finished reciting and asked Wang Ying to learn it, Wang Ying just said that he didn't know it and refused to learn a single word.
While the young couple was chatting and laughing while preparing dinner, Director Zhao and his wife also arrived home.
Hearing his parents' voices, Zhao Yunsheng rushed out and rushed into the yard and asked, "Comrade Zhao, how is the battle going?"
Chen Xiuqin rolled her eyes at him and said, "You're still not serious even after getting married."
Comrade Lao Zhao was in a good mood and didn't mind Xiao Zhao's disrespect. He smiled and said, "It's done."
