Sun Tianxia thought that if her youngest son hadn't waited until now, the old house might catch fire.
But she never expected that her son was a pure love warrior.
During the Chinese New Year, everyone knew that the two had entered the stage of love and affection. The uncle and aunt who came back to accompany the old man for the New Year suggested that they bring the girl home for a simple meal.
Li Xingyao refused without a second thought. "It's Chinese New Year, she has a lot of things to do. She'll have plenty of time to spend at our house later. Let's not bother her now."
Second Aunt chased Sun Tianxia into the kitchen, "Sister-in-law, who is this girl? Why is she so powerful?"
Sun Tianxia frowned. "As a girl from a good family, now without any status, it's only right for her not to come."
"Sister-in-law, I think you're spoiling them too much. It's all about the parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. They're so old now, and they can almost live together. They're even more pretentious than rich girls. In my opinion, they're not even as good as Hongyan..."
With a "clang", the porcelain basin fell and almost rolled off the stove to the ground.
Han Zhenzhu was startled by the sudden noise. She covered her chest and remained silent for a long time.
"Sister-in-law, don't mention this kind of thing again. You haven't even met the girl Xingyao you're talking about. If you keep talking about her, it will easily lead to misunderstandings.
The other person in the Xingyao Department is not an unknown person either. She is the youngest factory director in our entire agricultural reclamation system.
Ever since she set up her own business, the factory's profits have been increasing. Although it is still under the agricultural reclamation system, it is also registered with the central government..."
Han Zhenzhu's face was filled with shock and a bit of an ugly expression. She hadn't expected the other party to be so influential. "Well, sister-in-law, even if that's the case, isn't she a bit too arrogant?
The whole family is finally together, and she didn't even bother to come over? How can a young person treat someone like this..."
Sun Tianxia planned to make things clear all at once to prevent these people from causing trouble for his son and ruining things.
"Her identity is different from that of an ordinary girl. Not to mention that the two of them are only in the stage of getting to know each other, even if there is a clue about this matter, there is no need to rush to show it to the public.
Whether it's her or our family, there are so many eyes watching us. It's a done deal, so there's no need to make a big fuss."
At the end, he softened his tone and said, "Don't worry, we will be a family sooner or later. It doesn't matter if we meet earlier or later!"
“…”
At night, Han Zhenzhu made her bedding and leaned on the pillow waiting for her man to come in. As soon as he closed the door, she couldn't wait to bring it up.
"You heard it during the day. I said one thing, and this family has a hundred things waiting for me. I'm doing this for Xingyao's own good, not for my own business.
In a family like ours, there's no such thing as a good girl. Everyone in the family, from the old to the young, is always busy surrounding me. I think it's not even close to losing face..."
Li Pengyuan thought she was eagerly waiting for what he was going to say, but when he heard it was this, he immediately interrupted her, "You better stop talking. After all, this is Xingyao's own business. Why are you meddling in it? What does it have to do with us..."
"I'm doing this for you. If I tell Hongyan, you can take a step forward. It's obviously the best of both worlds..."
"Shut up, put away your little ideas, spend the New Year happily, and then we'll go back. It's not that simple to decide whether I get a promotion or not.
If you continue to talk too much, you should go back first."
These words were indeed harsh, but Han Zhenzhu saw that her man was really angry, so she didn't dare to argue anymore. Otherwise, if she really went back alone during the New Year, something would happen even if nothing happened!
He snorted, pulled the quilt over him, and wrapped himself tightly, "Freeze to death, you heartless person."
Qiu Yuling has no such worries at all. This year is a rare year of family reunion, and several of her brothers and sisters-in-law have come back with their children.
There are dozens of people in the family. As soon as they open their eyes, they start to think about eating, drinking, defecating and urinating. Although she doesn't need to go into the kitchen now, these little kids can't let her go.
"Aunt, can you tell me more about the three fights with the White Bone Demon?"
"No, auntie, I love to hear stories from country girls."
"It would be better if Jingwei filled the sea..."
Everyone was chattering, and everyone had their own "recipe". Qiu Yuling didn't say anything, waiting for them to agree. She would just tell them one recipe anyway!
"Stop arguing! If you keep arguing, Auntie will go back to sleep. Let's vote and see which story gets the most votes. Internal strife will only hinder us..."
Chidou was the biggest and was the first to stop the civil war, and everyone started voting again.
The White Bone Demon wins in the last three fights!
"Aunt, we have discussed it, let's get started quickly."
Qiu Yuling propped up her head with sleepy eyes and said, "Sit tight. Today we will tell you a story about Kong Rong giving up his pears..."
"Ah, it's a deal, auntie~"
"Yes, Auntie, we want to listen to the story of the Three Strike-Out Demon..."
Qiu Yuling cleared her throat and said, "Why don't you guys tell it yourselves? Whoever tells it will listen."
They don’t want to tell the stories themselves, it’s more interesting when their aunt tells them.
Wang Aihong quietly retreated and went back to the kitchen. "Yuling was entangled by the group of brats again. I was afraid of these brats. Fortunately, she was able to subdue them."
Wang Xiaotao stretched her neck to peer into the room through the glass. Sure enough, her sister-in-law was in dire straits. "Our Yuling is still a child king, she hasn't grown up yet.
Sister-in-law, come and take a look at the stuffing..."
Qiu Yuling was able to escape only after she had left enough "homework". Following the aroma, she also entered the kitchen and asked, "Let me see who is stealing food?"
"Are you free?" Wang Xiaotao gave her a mischievous smile.
"Well, take good care of your kids tomorrow and don't wake me up again. Seriously, it's even scarier than the grumbling at work."
"You're the one who got used to it."
In fact, Qiu Yuling had a hundred ways to avoid this torture, but in this era where transportation was slow and they might not see each other once a year, she couldn't bear to reject the little cuties.
"Yes, I'm the one who spoiled you. Why don't you hurry up and serve the delicious food to reward your sister-in-law who has worked the hardest."
When Li Qingmei came back from the captain's house carrying a winnowing basket of dry food, several daughters-in-law and her own daughter were making a commotion in the kitchen.
She called for help to lift the door curtain, "Slow down, don't knock over the steamed bun basket."
Qiu Yuling let the person in and said, "Is everything baked? Break off some for me to try."
Conditions are better now, and we have to fry oil-fried buns during the New Year. In order to save oil, they first bake the oil-fried buns in a pit until they are about 70% to 80% cooked, and then put them in the oil pan.
Li Qingmei slapped her hand away, "It's still half-cooked. You must be upset. How come your mouths are tighter than those little ones'?"
"Well, now I've really become a cabbage in the field. My father doesn't love me, and my mother doesn't care about me. As expected, love will disappear!"
