"Wife, where are Cheng Cai and You Cai? It's snowing so heavily outside, what are they doing?"
"Today, Cheng Cai and You Cai went to visit their parents. These two kids have had a tough time these past few years, and they've been carrying a lot on their minds."
"Okay, he's doing well now, he hasn't forgotten his roots, and those two kids are pretty good."
"Okay, let's get ready. We'll eat when they get back."
"By the way, Jianjun, don't be so busy yet. Take a look at these clothes. What do you think? Aren't they quite nice?"
"That's certainly possible. Are these clothes made for these children?"
"Yes, they hadn't been back for a long time at first, and we didn't know what size clothes they wore, so we didn't dare to cut them."
"Besides, this style is very new, so it should be safe to wear it now."
"Make a few more dresses for our daughter Fubao, they'll definitely look beautiful."
"The key is that our Fubao is so cute, and these little leather shoes too. Luckily, we brought a lot of little leather shoes and the like when we came here."
"Now they've all come in handy. Let's have a good year. By then, our family will all be busy with our own things, and we'll only be able to get together briefly."
"Yes, honey, you're right. There are still so many pickled duck eggs. Can we take them with us?"
"There are nine people in our family, so each person can carry one jar. That would be just right. I'm not right."
"Yes, yes, you are right."
Jianjun didn't want to upset his wife, so he did whatever Tingting said.
Jianjun now thinks about how they were on the train, each carrying a jar of duck eggs, and he finds the scene hilarious no matter how he imagines it.
Tingting was quite happy to hear Jianjun say that, and cheerfully went about her own business.
I plan to make several more outfits for them; the children are growing up, and they need to be dressed up nicely.
Jianjun went to sweep the snow in the yard, just as he heard the outer gate being pushed open.
He assumed it was Cheng Cai and You Cai returning, so he didn't look up.
"Jianjun, are you busy?"
Upon hearing the voice, Jianjun knew it wasn't Chengcai and the others. Looking up, he saw it was his second sister-in-law, and he wondered what brought her here.
"Second sister-in-law, it's snowing so heavily, why are you here? Come inside quickly, Tingting, Tingting."
"Oh, Second Sister-in-law, you're here! Come and have some water."
When Guo Ersao took a sip, she found it was sweet, unlike ordinary sugar water. "It's really delicious!" Guo Ersao exclaimed.
Jianjun and Tingting's family are living a really good life. She came here because of her niece's matter.
"Jianjun, Tingting, to be honest, I came here this time because there's something I need to discuss."
"Second Sister-in-law, tell us, and see if there's anything we can do to help you?"
"Yes, I can help. Yes, that's right. My niece is hardworking, capable, and knows how to manage a household."
"Second sister-in-law, you can't be here to talk about marriage, can you? Aunt Wang came over a few days ago."
“I know she came to your house, and I know you didn’t like any of them, but I think my niece is just as good as them, isn’t she?”
"If you think it's okay, then our families will be even closer."
"I'll bring it to my niece in a few days, what do you think?"
"Second sister-in-law, does my brother know about this?"
"What does he know? You two are both capable people, don't you think?"
"Second sister-in-law, I think we should just let this matter go. These children are free to make their own decisions from now on. Jianjun and I will listen to them."
"Listen to them. They're so young, what can they understand? They still need the adults."
"They're all quite old, not young anymore. It won't be easy for them to find someone later."
Hearing her say that, Tingting felt quite annoyed. She wished she could buy a house in Xia City later.
I'm really annoyed that these kids aren't allowed to come back for the New Year.
It's obvious that Brother Guo disagrees, and Sister-in-law came on her own. If she speaks too harshly, it will be difficult for them to get along in the future.
If she were to speak too lightly, she would simply pretend she didn't hear it, leaving Tingting feeling utterly helpless.
Zhu Zi, standing next to them, sensed something was terribly wrong. Firstly, he had someone he liked, and secondly, he and You Cai were the only two people of suitable age.
He looked up at his mother, making his stance clear.
"Second sister-in-law, thank you for your trouble. My family doesn't have any plans for that yet. Please stay for dinner tonight."
"Tingting, aren't you all being too picky? This one won't do, that one won't do either. What kind of person could possibly be a good match for your son?"
"Sister-in-law, I respect the children's own choice. If they don't want to, there's nothing I can do."
"You're looking down on our family. Fine, we're not good enough for you. I'm leaving."
"Second sister-in-law, what are you doing? Whether this matter succeeds or not, we are all family."
"Alright, Jianjun and Tingting, let's just say this: what are your thoughts?"
Tingting is quite angry now; isn't this just putting pressure on her?
I'm sorry, but she just doesn't agree.
In the end, Tingting decided to ignore her and sat angrily on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed).
When Guo Ersao saw this, she also got angry and stormed off, throwing things around.
The reason she was in such a hurry to find Tingting and the others was because her parents and sister-in-law were always urging her.
Everyone knows the Guo family is doing well these days; none of their children can afford to be poor.
So I thought to myself, I can't share the benefits with outsiders, and that's how things turned out today.
