In the past, the second daughter (the second sister) would definitely refuse. She might even be upset by Zhenyu (the eldest sister)'s boastful words...
Cheng Zhenyu was also a little surprised. Her sister, who always had a sullen face, seemed to be smiling a little more?
"It's quite delicious." Zhang Siyu took a bite and said calmly, "The supply on our island is indeed smaller, but we do have it occasionally. If you're willing to spend money, you can get some."
Well, she's a few years older now, and her temperament has matured. She's not so easily upset over trivial matters anymore. Cheng Fugui looked at his second daughter's calm smile and nodded in agreement.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, I brought you something." Zhang Siyu put down the walnut cookies and picked up the big black bag on the ground and put it on the table.
The eyes of the Cheng family members involuntarily fell on the big black bag on the table.
Wang Xiaomei, who had just arrived at the door, looked at the unfamiliar figure.
When she walked into the house, she first called out "Dad," "Mom," and "Big Sister," and then enthusiastically called out "Second Sister."
"I'm back." Cheng Zhenbao naturally took the things from her wife's hand and hung them up.
"Xiaomei." Zhang Siyu looked at the petite and pretty woman in front of her and immediately called out her identity.
No need to guess, the person in front of you is Cheng Zhenzhu's sister-in-law, Wang Xiaomei.
It was mentioned in the correspondence that they got married in the third year after Cheng Zhenzhu went to Sanshi Island. Xiaohu was born when Yitiao was one year old...
"Three, call me aunt." Zhang Siyu waved three little hands.
"Aunt~" San Tiao leaned on his mother's shoulder while holding the walnut cake, and muttered two round words with his little mouth.
"Hey, the three of us are so cute." Wang Xiaomei wiped the peach crumbs from the corners of the three of them's mouths and smiled.
"Second sister, it's great that you're here. I've been looking forward to your arrival. Xiaohu keeps asking for his brothers to play with him. I just saw the three kids holding hands and having fun outside..."
As soon as she entered the courtyard, she saw two lively little black kids. When Xiaohu said they were brother and sister, she immediately understood. It must be her second aunt, whom she had never met, who had arrived early.
She wasn't sure what kind of personality this second aunt had, but when Zhenbao told her that she was better than her eldest sister, she felt relieved.
Cheng Zhenyu pursed her lips, a hint of displeasure flickering across her brows. Wasn't Wang Xiaomei's words a slap in her face? She was implying that she hadn't given birth to a son, only sisters...
"Little kids love to hang out together. When they saw Little Tiger playing outside, they ran out in great joy. They didn't even want to go in to eat the walnut cookies."
Zhang Siyu's smile was more genuine as she spoke. She felt that Cheng Zhenzhu, her sister-in-law, was a very comfortable person to get along with.
"Big sister, you just said you brought something back for mom and dad. Is it the dried shrimp and dried fish from your place? They taste pretty good."
Cheng Zhenyu looked at the big black bag and brought the topic back.
Every year her younger sister would send dried shrimp and fish home, and her mother would give her some, and all the girls in her family really liked to eat them...
"Yes, I brought some. Dad and Mom, this powder is for you. You can make a cup of it every day." Zhang Siyu opened the bag, took out the elderly milk powder that had no logo on it, and also took out about two liters of white wine.
Wine? Cheng Fugui's eyes lit up. He loved these two things.
"Er Ni, this is not cheap, right?" Zhao Fangrui frowned as she looked at the iron can in her hand.
"Those who respect their parents don't talk about money."
"He still has some conscience." Cheng Fugui held the wine jug, his beard almost standing up with joy.
What's in that tin? Is it soaked? Is it nutritional powder? There's also alcohol in it. It's not cheap, is it? How could her older sister have that kind of spare cash? Cheng Zhenyu watched, questions popping up one after another.
Uncomfortable emotions slowly welled up in her. She and Jiawang had also bought wine for Dad, but why didn't Dad look so happy?
If I had known earlier, I should have brought that can of malted milk today. Wouldn't that be better than this can of nutritional powder? This tin can looks ugly, and I guess it's not a real thing...
Zhang Siyu continued to take things out. "Sister, this is for you. Xiaomei, this is for Xiaohu."
She divided two kilograms of candy and two kilograms of biscuits, giving one portion to Cheng Zhenzhu's children and the other portion to Cheng Xiaohu.
Wang Xiaomei looked at the White Rabbit milk candy and Golden Rooster biscuits in her hands and looked at her man inquiringly.
Didn't you say that the second sister was reluctant to give it away? Why does she seem so generous? These are all good things, very rare...
Sometimes generous, sometimes stingy, quite a contradictory personality. Perhaps it was to prove himself. Cheng Zhenbao responded to his wife with a look.
Wang Xiaomei glanced at her elder sister-in-law and nodded to show that she understood.
"And this. It's a specialty of our island. It's been dried and can be kept for a longer time." Zhang Siyu took out two bags of dried goods.
There were also two portions of dried shrimp, dried scallops, and dried fish. Cheng Zhenzhu's parents lived with Cheng Zhenbao, so they ordered a larger portion, and the other portion was given to Cheng Zhenzhu's sister, Cheng Zhenyu.
"Thank you, second sister." Wang Xiaomei thanked her.
Cheng Zhenyu held the things in her hands, feeling very complicated. She couldn't even say "thank you".
Her family conditions are much better than those of my eldest sister, so if anyone should be thanked, it should be my eldest sister!
But she knows what she's talking about. These cookies and candies are all good stuff. The girls at home are really greedy and always ask her for them...
"Er Ni, come with me." Zhao Fangrui pulled her second daughter into the room with a serious expression.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Zhang Siyu was a little confused.
Zhao Fangrui said with a look of disapproval, "Are you trying to argue with your sister again? She is who she is, and you are who you are. Just act according to your own circumstances. Your sister is just like that, she likes to argue and show off a little. You don't need to follow her example."
"You spent so much money just to have fun, aren't you stupid? Those dried shrimps and scallops taste great, just bring some and your dad and I will be very satisfied..." Zhao Fangrui sat down on the edge of the bed and motioned for her daughter to sit down too.
So that's what happened. Zhang Siyu sat down with the three children in her arms, "Mom, I'm not trying to save face. I've already prepared everything for you.
That can of powder is for you and Dad to nourish. Dad loves to drink, so he prepared it specially. I haven't been back for so many years, so I have to show my appreciation...
Besides, it’s the first time I meet my nephew and niece, so as their aunt, I should show some appreciation, right? Dried shrimp, dried scallops, and dried fish, you know, that’s what I have the most…”
Zhao Fangrui carefully observed her second daughter's expression and found that she looked relaxed. She then said, "That must have cost a lot of money. Did Aiqing agree?"
