Song Jingfeng was muttering, "You really beat me up. My child is left without a father. You will have to raise him for me in the future. Are you my sister? You hit me so hard."
Song Jingtian glared at him and waved her fist, "I can hit you harder, just shut up, you have the final say.
Only my sister-in-law can tolerate you, this child must not be like you, otherwise, you will be slapped in the face in the future."
Song Jingfeng disagreed with this, "Can you expect something good from me? My baby will definitely inherit your sister-in-law's beauty. From now on, the threshold will be broken down by matchmakers, and I won't let them."
Even before the baby was born, he had already decided it would be a daughter. She's very naughty and hard to control.
Daughters are so nice and sweet. Just thinking about them makes his heart, as a rough old man, soften into a puddle of water.
Song Jingtian had to remind him, "If it's a boy, with a delicate and pretty appearance, people would definitely say he's a sissy! Are you happy with that?"
Song Jingfeng wanted to take a needle and sew her mouth shut. The two of them were so tight together that it made everyone else in the car laugh.
It's like this for brothers and sisters. Brothers and sisters are usually suppressed by blood.
With Song Jingfeng and Lu Li, two chatterboxes, chattering all the way, they soon arrived at the family compound.
Seeing the jeep, everyone knew it was Lu Li's exclusive one. The sister-in-law, who was eating melon seeds, said, "The old Miao family is back. Our hometown is so far away, and it's not easy to go back.
But the ancestral tomb is still there, so you have to go and pay New Year's greetings to the old man? Otherwise, the ancestors will say you are unfilial. "
"Song Jingtian went with them even though she was seven months pregnant. Why? Wasn't it to visit her ancestors' graves? You can't just settle down on the island and ignore your hometown."
"Lao Miao is back, and I have something to say. When she was not here, I still blamed you for missing her."
"Don't talk about you. I'm not used to it. I just like listening to her nonsense."
Two of them were sarcastic and said, "Tsk, you are just like her. She often says nasty things about her daughter-in-law because she has several jobs."
Someone immediately responded to her, "How's the saying? When the stick is thrown, only the dog that is hit will bark. You have been hit pretty hard."
"I think Lao Miao didn't punish you enough. You still haven't changed your bad habits. Be careful that she will drown you with her spit."
Aunt Lin was the happiest. She put away her little stool and walked up the slope.
The weather on the island is clear, and the sea breeze is refreshing.
After getting off the car, Jiang Yan looked at the familiar courtyard. The flowers planted by the fence had already budded, and the salty smell in the air also made her feel a sense of belonging.
Aunt Lin stepped forward and said with a smile, "Lao Miao, you are finally back. I missed you so much. You look rosy. You must have had a good year.
All my sons are back, and the grandchildren are all together, it's very lively. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, some go to work, and some go back to the countryside, so the house is deserted. "
Miao Xiuying gave her a portion of the dried mushroom chicken she brought. "These are all brought from our hometown. It's a mountainous place and there's nothing good. The chicken is fried with chili peppers, and the mushrooms are delicious when cooked into soup."
Aunt Lin looked at the things in her hand and did not refuse. "My daughter also brought me some fruits. They are almost rotten. Her father and I don't like to eat them. I will bring them to you later."
As for favors, there is give and take, and neither of them is the stingy type.
Miao Xiuying carried her bag and walked with her, saying, "I feel empty inside now that I'm back. Just like what the old man said, no matter how good the outside world is, it's not as solid as my hometown."
Aunt Lin agreed: "Yes, my hometown called several times and asked us to go back to see the old man, but my husband couldn't leave. Thinking about it, I feel very uncomfortable.
The two old people are old, who knows how many more years they can live? This year, they had to take leave to go back, saying that his father was in poor health. We quickly remitted a hundred yuan back and asked them to send him to the best hospital in the county, so as not to delay the old man's treatment.
The elderly are most likely to pass away before and after the New Year. In our courtyard, two people passed away on the first few days of the New Year. The families had simple funerals, but we all went to sit out the night. Alas, people are old and useless. They can pass away at any time. "
Miao Xiuying asked: "Whose elderly person passed away? I didn't hear of anyone dying before the New Year!"
Aunt Lin sighed, "The old Lin family in the tube building was fine during the New Year. On the second day of the New Year, their married daughter returned to her parents' home. The family had a reunion dinner, and then they fell asleep and died. Another one fell down and died too. So, I figured it out. Eat and drink well, and there's nothing to worry about when you die."
Miao Xiuying laughed: "Yeah, you said I don't know how to budget carefully. No matter how good everything is, it's not as good as living well by myself."
Aunt Lin agreed: "That's absolutely right."
Jiang Yan carried her things into the house. Lu Li put the baby aside, boiled water diligently, and cleaned Jiang Yan's room.
Jiang Yan opened the window for ventilation, threw the dirty clothes into the washing machine, and folded the clean ones and put them in the cupboard.
The three kids were also sleepy and were sleeping soundly on the bed, smacking their lips from time to time, which made Jiang Yan's eyes soften.
These days were quite warm and cozy. After tidying up the house, the family walked towards Qin's house.
Qin Huan cooked twelve dishes, a combination of meat and vegetables. The aroma filled the whole yard.
But it made life difficult for her neighbors. Looking at the leftovers on the table that had been eaten since the first day of the new year, they felt very disgusted.
Xu Zhixia was standing at the door. Aunt Hu was there too. She greeted them warmly, "Aunt, come in and sit down. Xiaoyan will be here soon. Let's have dinner together. Don't worry about anything. My mother has prepared everything. You can call your uncle and two sisters-in-law. I'm too lazy to go there."
Aunt Hu declined politely: "You are too polite, girl. I haven't finished eating at home yet! I won't come over."
Xu Zhixia held her hand and said, "It's all ready. If you go back, how can I explain to mom that Yan Xue'er and Jing Tian are back and you have to let them eat separately? Let's eat together and chat for a while!"
Qin Huan poked her head out from the door frame, "Sister Hu, you're too hard to invite. Are you afraid of eating me out of money? Hurry up and call your husband. My husband Song will be back soon. Don't they like playing chess? I've already set up the board."
Qin Huan came forward, and Aunt Hu did not refuse, "Then I'll go call Old Hu over, and we can have a meal together."
Having said that, she turned and went back to the house.
When Hu Xiaoyi heard that they were going to have dinner at the Song family, he found a few bottles of liquor and brought some fresh fruits to the door.
Before it arrived, Jiang Yan sniffed and said, "Auntie is getting better and better at cooking seafood. It smells so good. I'm going to eat two more bowls later."
Lu Li said bitterly: "Sister-in-law, don't eat too much, otherwise my brother will definitely blame me and say that I didn't take good care of you.
You know, my brother is the most unreasonable person. He is so cruel even though we are born of the same mother. Our brotherhood has faded."
