Seeing Aunt Lu's attitude, Yang Niannian and Lu Shishen were not angry, but Guan Ailian was angry.
"Damn it! If I were the boss of this family, she wouldn't even be able to enter the house."
"Sister-in-law, let's ignore her. Come with me into the house and take a look. I bought some good things."
Yang Niannian was too lazy to be angry with Aunt Lu. She pulled Guan Ailian into the west room, took out candies and snacks from the cloth, peeled a candy and put it in Lu baby's mouth.
Smiling, he asked, "Is it sweet?"
Baby Lu held the candy in his mouth and nodded incoherently, "Sweet."
The rich aroma of milk spread in his mouth. It tasted better and better the more he ate. His eyes lit up. This was the first time he had eaten milk candy, and it tasted better than pork.
Guan Ailian was shocked. She put the child on the ground and said helplessly, "Oh, sister-in-law, you bought so many things. How much did it cost?"
Yang Niannian said nonchalantly, "It's a rare occasion for us to come back, so we should spend some money."
She took out the candies and snacks and placed them on the bed. "Sister-in-law, these candies are for our own children. If any children come over to play tomorrow, give them some fruit candies. The snacks and fabrics are also bought for you. Don't be polite with me. This is a gift from Shi Shen and me."
Yang Niannian is not a living Bodhisattva, nor does she have a universal heart. Toffees are more precious than meat, and she doesn’t want to do favors for people who have nothing to do with her.
Guan Ailian felt embarrassed to accept so many things and opened her mouth to refuse, but when she thought that she had already bought the things, she did not refuse.
"Sister-in-law, I'll take this. Next time you come back, don't spend so much. You've set up a small family now. You'll have a lot of expenses in the future. You can't just support us. Mom and Dad have money, too. You don't have to send them money. Just live your life well."
"Um."
Yang Niannian nodded and agreed.
Lu Shishen stood aside without saying a word. He did not interrupt the matters between the sisters-in-law.
Guan Ailian thought of something and asked hurriedly, "Are you hungry? The kitchen has left some food for you."
Yang Niannian shook her head, "We had noodles in town."
Guan Ailian was about to say something when Lu Baobao grabbed her hand and asked for candy again. She peeled one and stuffed it into the child's mouth.
"You can't eat anymore after you eat this."
There are three children at home, and I can’t give all the snacks to one child.
Besides, you can’t eat all the good things at once. If you order in moderation, it won’t be enough no matter how much you eat.
Normally she doesn't spoil her child, so the child nodded obediently, but his eyes couldn't help but stare at the candy with sparkling eyes.
"Brother hasn't come back yet?" Lu Shishen asked.
"He went to his uncle's house and didn't come back at noon. I guess his uncle kept him for dinner!" said Guan Ailian.
They said they were staying to have dinner, but in fact they all knew that Lu Qingyuan was kept behind to be reprimanded probably because Ma Xiuzhu had complained.
Lu Shishen was silent for a while, then said to Yang Niannian, "I'll go to my uncle's house to take a look."
Yang Niannian nodded, "You go."
Guan Ailian was a little worried, "Why don't you wait a little longer? I think I should be back soon."
Knowing what she was worried about, Yang Niannian comforted her, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, he can do it."
After saying that, he blinked at Lu Shishen and said, "Be careful, don't scare your uncle."
Lu Shishen nodded calmly, turned around and walked out.
Guan Ailian wanted to chase him out, but she felt that she couldn't persuade Lu Shishen, so she said to Yang Niannian anxiously, "Oh, my mother must be making a scene at my uncle's house. If Shishen wants to go, what will we do if my uncle embarrasses him?"
Yang Niannian smiled indifferently, "Don't worry, sister-in-law. Shi Shen has a good temper. Everyone knows it. No one dares to act arrogantly in front of him."
She tugged at the fabric on the bed and said, "Look at the fabric I bought. Do you like it?"
After hearing her say this, Guan Ailian thought about it carefully and it seemed to be true.
Women all like to wear new clothes, and Guan Ailian is no exception. However, people's living standards are generally not good nowadays. She is already very content to have enough food to eat and live in a house with red bricks and green tiles.
There are several children at home, and when she has money she thinks about clothing for her children, never thinking about herself. Now, looking at the beautiful new cloth, her eyes are red with emotion.
She happily held the cloth and measured her body, discussing with Yang Niannian what kind of clothes would look good. After being happy for a while, Guan Ailian suddenly remembered something important.
She asked worriedly, "Sister-in-law, I heard that Shi Shen adopted a child in the army. Is the child under Shi Shen's name? The country now advocates the policy of eugenics. If the child is under Shi Shen's name, you can't have another child, otherwise Shi Shen won't be able to stay in the army."
Yang Niannian exclaimed in surprise. She knew that there was such a policy in that era, but was adoption not allowed?
Seeing her expression, Guan Ailian understood instantly, "You don't know about this yet? Oh, could it be that Shi Shen doesn't know about this either? I have to talk to him later."
In Guan Ailian's opinion, if a couple can have a child, they must choose their own. No matter how good the other person's child is, there is no blood relationship between them.
Besides, my younger brother and his wife are a perfect match, and it would be a waste of such good genes if they don’t have a baby.
Yang Niannian shook her head, and her mood suddenly became a little complicated. Does Lu Shishen know about this?
He would definitely not leave the army, and there was no way he would send An An away. Although she didn't want to have a child so early, she was still looking forward to having a child of her own with Lu Shishen.
Guan Ailian saw that Yang Niannian's face was not very good, and suddenly she regretted speaking too quickly. This topic should be more appropriate to be discussed between her younger brother and sister-in-law.
well!
Why can't she control her foul mouth? She means well but ends up doing something bad.
…
Let’s talk about Yang Huiying.
After getting off the train, she looked everywhere but couldn't find Lu Shishen and Yang Niannian.
It was getting late and I couldn't get on the oxcart. I didn't have money to stay in a hotel, so I had to sit against the wall of the train station all night.
By the time she got home, it was already noon the next day.
She was hungry, angry, and feeling very aggrieved. She started crying when she got home, which made Huang Guihua and Yang Tianzhu very sad.
Upon learning that Yang Huiying was expelled from school, Huang Guihua almost fainted. Yang Tianzhu quickly helped her sit down on the bed and cursed her fiercely with a fierce look on his face.
"I knew she was an ungrateful person. She has been in the army for such a long time and she hasn't written a single letter back. She doesn't care about her family at all. I didn't expect that she would still do bad things to Huiying. I will go to the Lu family to find her now. I don't believe that I can't control her. Don't think that I can't deal with her just because she is married."
Huang Guihua knew her son's temper and was afraid that he would suffer if he went to the Lu family, so she quickly held him back and said, "Don't be impulsive. If you go to the Lu family alone, can you fight against the whole village?"
The people of Dayu Village are famous for their unity. When faced with something like this, the entire village united to face the outside world.
Yang Huiying nodded and said, "Mom is right, brother, don't be impulsive."
She had seen Lu Shishen's courage, and her elder brother was no match for Lu Shishen at all, and he would not be able to win by force.
Then she cried and said to Huang Guihua, "Mom, Nian Nian no longer cares about our family. She wants to cut off ties with us and take revenge on our entire family. She said that I am just her first target of revenge, and no one will have a good life in the future."
