Li Fengyi thought about it and felt that what Yang Niannian said made sense, so he didn't say anything else.
Lu Ruoling didn’t understand all this, so she just looked at Jiaojiao, trying not to let her interrupt their conversation.
Yang Niannian was worried that she was bored, so she changed the subject.
"I finally got out to have dinner with Ruoling, so I won't talk about work."
Then he looked at Lu Ruoling and asked, "Have you prepared everything for production?"
Lu Ruoling smiled, "Everything is ready. Fengyi's parents will come over next month. They said they couldn't make it when Jiaojiao was born, so they will come to accompany her this time. Our mom won't come, she said it's too painful to take the train, she's too old and doesn't want to go through the hassle."
"If your mother-in-law doesn't want to come, then don't come! She can't help much even if she comes. She will talk about this and that and affect your mood." Yang Niannian said bluntly.
Although Ma Xiuzhu has improved her verbal manner now, she was born with a mouth that speaks unpleasant words, and it is not so easy to change.
Li Fengyi smiled and continued, "Second sister-in-law, I think mom is the one who is most afraid of you and second brother in the family."
Yang Niannian smiled and said, "She just bullies the weak and fears the strong. The more she is spoiled, the more she will climb up the ladder."
As soon as she finished speaking, the boss brought the food up. She handed the chopsticks to Lu Ruoling and said, "Eat! I'm hungry."
Jiaojiao's eyes lit up when she saw the food. She wanted to grab it with her hands, while talking.
"Eat, eat, eat."
Li Fengyi held her hand and reminded her, "It's hot, don't grab it with your hands."
Yang Niannian was amazed, "Jiaojiao can talk!"
Lu Ruoling said dejectedly.
"Besides calling mom and dad, I can also say eat, eat."
My daughter started talking a little late. Other children of her age can talk a lot.
Yang Niannian chuckled, "So you're a little foodie."
Li Fengyi usually spends a lot of time in the factory, but whenever he is with his daughter, he will take on the responsibility of taking care of her, including feeding her.
Yang Niannian and Lu Ruoling were almost full before he picked up his chopsticks and started eating. He was not picky about what he ate and seemed to like everything.
After the meal, Yang Niannian packed up the leftover bones and planned to take them back for Xiao Hei to eat. She also told Li Fengyi to ride slowly before riding her bicycle back to the courtyard.
Xiao Hei circled around her feet and barked towards the house. Yang Niannian didn't know why, but she seemed to understand what he meant.
"Someone called?"
Xiao Hei immediately wagged his tail and spun around happily.
Yang Niannian parked her bicycle in the yard, then poured the bones that she had packed back from the handlebars into Xiao Hei's rice bowl, and touched its head.
"It's a reward for you."
Xiao Hei seemed to understand and wagged his tail and barked twice.
Yang Niannian returned to the room and looked at the phone. It was a call from an unfamiliar number. She picked up the phone and called back. After a while, a familiar voice came from the other end.
"Sister-in-law, it's me." Guan Ailian shouted happily.
Yang Niannian's mood also improved when she listened to Guan Ailian's happy voice.
"Sister-in-law, is there a telephone installed at home?"
Guan Ailian replied, "Yes, the money you sent me was not used up, so my father asked me to install a telephone at home. This way we can contact each other more easily, and we don't have to run to the village chief's house all the time. If there is any big or small thing at home, everyone in the village will know about it."
The village chief's wife is a big mouth. If she hears someone answering the phone and something happens, she'll tell the whole village about it before even a meal is over.
Yang Niannian, "It's time to install a phone so we can get in touch more easily and avoid having to go to the village chief's house all the time."
"Who says it's not?"
Guan Ailian looked back at the yard and saw that no one came in, so she spoke in a low voice.
"Sister-in-law, actually it was your mother-in-law who called you just now. She's out visiting friends right now."
Yang Niannian blinked, "Why did she call me?"
Guan Ailian said with some anger in her tone.
"When Ruoling's biological parents heard that she was doing well now, they came to recognize her, but mother-in-law was very angry and drove them away. Father-in-law felt that since they had come, he should talk to Ruoling about whether to recognize her or not and let her make the decision. Mother-in-law was stubborn and didn't agree to recognize her, so she wanted you to persuade Ruoling not to agree."
Yang Niannian frowned and asked for confirmation.
"Ruoling's biological parents abandoned her because they wanted to have a son, right? They didn't think of recognizing her for more than 20 years, but they did recognize her when they knew Ruoling was doing well. It's better not to have such parents."
Guan Ailian said, "This is the situation, so I stand on my mother-in-law's side this time. Why would I recognize parents like that?"
Yang Niannian has the same idea as Guan Ailian.
"There is really no need to admit it, but it's not wrong for the father-in-law to want to tell Ruoling. This matter cannot be concealed. Ruoling will know it sooner or later. Let's see what Ruoling thinks first!"
Guan Ailian sighed, "My father-in-law called Ruoling but no one answered. I guess he'll call again later. Ruoling is already seven or eight months pregnant, right? If she knew this news, I don't know if she would be able to bear it."
Yang Niannian was not sure either, after all, pregnant women are emotionally fragile.
Guan Ailian was still cooking in the pot, so she didn't dare to talk any more. "Sister-in-law, I'm going to cook first. If you have any questions, just call us later."
"good."
After hanging up the phone, Yang Niannian sighed, then took her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower.
After getting used to living with Zheng Xinyue, she felt a little uncomfortable living alone, so she turned on the TV and listened to the voices in the room, which made her feel more fulfilled.
I was watching intently when the bedside phone suddenly rang. I thought it was Lu Guozhi calling, but when I picked up the phone, I heard Zheng Xinyue's complaining voice on the other end.
"Nian Nian, I miss you so much! It's better for us to be in school. It's not like working here, with a lot of chores, boring every day, and we have to listen to the lectures of the seniors."
Zheng Xinyue was assigned to work at the Haicheng Court. Before her wedding leave was over, she had to go to work.
Oh! I still miss the days in school.
Yang Niannian teased her with a smile, "You can't see Deputy Head Qin at any time at school!"
These words touched Zheng Xinyue's heart directly. She chuckled, then immediately became lively again and spoke in a low voice.
"Niannian, let me tell you, Brother Qin is an antique. When I hold hands with him on the street, he is so shy, like a young wife. It's so interesting."
"It's not just him. Shi Shen was like this before, too. He was very innocent. I've influenced him over the past few years, and he's gotten a little better. It's good this way, because it's not easy for him to mess around with other girls. Otherwise, they'd be stolen away before we get a chance."
Zheng Xinyue laughed out loud as if she had found a great bargain, holding her belly. The two of them were chatting enthusiastically when Xiao Hei suddenly started barking.
Yang Niannian listened carefully and faintly heard Li Fengyi's voice.
"Someone seems to be knocking on the door. I'll go out and take a look. We can talk another day."
