He Miao's hands were covered in flour. She washed them in a basin and said happily, "It will be around noon. Second Aunt, don't work anymore. Go and have a rest. I won't ask you to work around the clock. If you tell others, I will think I am not a good person."
Zhang Yulan glared at her and said nonchalantly, "We are all family, and I am happy to be busy with them. Besides, Xiaoyan and Xiaoli are going to bring their wives back, so this should show our importance to them! I am afraid they will think I am shabby!"
After all, Lu Yan and Lu Li's wives both come from prominent families, while they are just ordinary country folk.
The farthest place I have been to in my life is the county town. I have never been to the provincial capital.
What Zhang Yulan and Lu Jiandang wore today were the clothes that Jiang Yan gave them when they got married. After all, there weren't many decent pieces of clothing left at home.
If you have some spare money, you have to think about it for your kids. As adults, just make do with what you have! Just don’t starve to death.
Chen Min had just finished mixing the watercress when Fang Cui's crispy duck came out of the pot and was sprinkled with some spicy chili powder.
The smell is so delicious!
A lot of delicious dishes were cooked today, and the smell spread out, making the people at the flour mill very greedy. They stared in the direction of the Lu family with green eyes.
"How many delicious dishes have they made? Did they use up all their meat coupons for the year? He Miao used to be a good shopper, but how come he's become less and less thrifty?
I thought it was a dual-income family, so the money just came from the wind. Since Miao Xiuying was not around, I felt that no one could put pressure on them.
This daughter-in-law doesn't think about things. Don't the older generation all hope that they can live a good life? Any savings are better."
"Hey, stop saying such sour things. They need you for this. Miao Xiuying didn't come back alone. Didn't you hear her say that Lu Yan and Lu Li's wife were also coming. They are both daughters of veteran cadres. If you really want to do a few things casually, are you going to leave? I can see that you don't know how to behave in society."
"How come Lu Li is so lucky? He doesn't like to work, but there are still women who like him?"
"Why didn't you mention Lu Yan? Did you mention it all? Lu Yan got one, and I said I wouldn't explain it in a short time, but I didn't expect that there was a big one. It's good to have connections in this family."
"If you ask me, this is all thanks to Jiang Yan. Marrying an unvirtuous wife brings disaster to three generations, while marrying the right one brings prosperity to the whole family."
Everyone slurped their saliva as they talked. No one dared to bring a bowl to beg for food, for fear of being beaten out by He Miao.
After she became the head of the family, she became much more confident and no longer felt weak at all.
What's more, she works in the supply and marketing cooperative. If there are defective products, I can use her connections to save money.
Everybody enjoyed dealing with her.
To say something bad about He Miao! Others would not agree. He Miao was popular in the compound and was someone who could say a few words.
After the train stopped, the whole family got off with bags of all sizes. As it was near the end of the year, there were already many people.
Crowds of people were crowding around, and Jiang Yan was not the type to just sit there and wait for death. She used the dirty trick she had learned when she went to the countryside before. She stabbed two toothpicks into the ground, and all she could hear was those people covering their buttocks and screaming.
They managed to squeeze out a path in front, leaving Hu Xueer and Song Jingtian on the side stunned.
Wow, they can do this. They have learned that they can’t let others step on their children in the future. They must take the initiative.
It’s a loss, but it’s useful. They are the fastest to squeeze out of the main force.
As for those who squeezed in obediently, some lost their cufflinks, some lost their children, and some even had their hats taken away.
In addition, there were a lot of petty thefts, and those who lost their money sat on the ground crying.
Miao Xiuying pulled down her messy hair and looked at the big bag Lu Li was carrying. Song Jingtian's hands were also busy. She was curious: "Why did you two buy so much? We have to come back after the New Year!"
Lu Li was panting, he wiped the sweat off his face and said happily: "Mom, these were bought by my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and asked me to bring them to my brother and sister-in-law, my sister and brother-in-law, and my second uncle and second aunt.
My second uncle's family treats me like half a son, so I should buy more. Oh, I wonder what my second uncle's expression will be when he sees me getting married?
In the past, he always thought that I would never get married and would be ruined in your hands. He had no confidence in me, didn't he? "
There is one good thing about Lu Li, and that is his mysterious self-confidence.
When I went to the island, I was planning on having a gigolo, but I didn't expect that I would actually have one.
Who says this isn't a skill?
Miao Xiuying looked disdainful and said, "If Jing Tian hadn't fallen in love with you, how could you have the luck you have today? Take good care of your wife and don't let her get bumped into anything, otherwise I will be the first one to not forgive you, do you hear me?"
"Jing Tian, if there's anything you're not used to, just ask him to make it for you. Don't think it's troublesome. He's your husband, so you can do whatever you want with him."
Song Jingtian smiled faintly: "Okay, Mom, where are we going? Let's go back first, it's freezing cold."
She rubbed her hands and wrapped her military coat tightly around her. Lu Li focused all his attention on her and held her hand carefully.
"Sister, walk slowly. The road conditions here are bad. Be careful not to fall."
It had just snowed heavily in Yunnan Province. At a glance, everything was covered in silver, and there were several layers of ice on the ground.
Jiang Yan was holding the baby and walking very carefully. Lu Xiao was carrying one on his back, holding another in his arms, and he had one free hand to protect Jiang Yan. His boyfriend power was overwhelming.
Lu Yan also had a lot of bags. As a family, his hands were always full.
There was a bus outside the train station. It was cold and the windows were sealed. As soon as I got on, I smelled a strong smell.
This made Song Jingtian uncomfortable and she frowned, but Lu Li didn't care.
He pushed the people around him aside, found a good seat for Song Jingtian, let her sit down, and opened the window.
The cold wind rushed in, dispelling the discomfort in my heart.
Lu Li opened the military canteen he was carrying, which was filled with hot water. "Sister, are you feeling uncomfortable? Drink some water first, we will be home soon."
There was definitely not enough room for them at home, so after dinner, he took his sister and his uncle and aunt back to the countryside.
Also let her sister see the place where he grew up.
Song Jingtian took a sip, peeled a sweet and sour orange and put it in her mouth, her eyes narrowed in satisfaction.
Lu Li put down the luggage he was carrying, and Jiang Yan sat behind him. The window was opened small for fear of blowing the wind against the baby.
But the peasant woman behind her was not happy and said in a rough voice: "Sister, you are also a mother, can you close the window? My cold hasn't healed yet, if it blows all the way, all the medicine will be in vain. You should understand how difficult it is for us as parents."
The baby in her arms, wrapped like a ball, was jumping around and trying to pull Mi Li's tiger-head hat, but Jiang Yan slapped him away.
