Chapter 368 Reunion



Jiang Dongmei couldn't help laughing when she thought of the look on her mother-in-law's face when she saw her last time.

"How could that be? Both of them are not easy to deal with.

All day at home, they are either quarreling or making sarcastic remarks.

Zhang Meina disliked my mother-in-law for not being able to take good care of the child. The water would get cold or hot, and the child would always cry and no matter how hard she tried to comfort him, the child would not stop crying.

My mother-in-law thinks Zhang Meina is too lazy and does nothing at home.

It was fine before when they didn’t live together, and even if they had conflicts they wouldn’t argue.

But things are different now. How can there be no conflicts when we live in the same space all day long?

Whenever they quarreled, Chen Xueliang was caught in the middle. After a long time, he no longer had the patience to coax them.

"I heard from my sister-in-law that they're constantly arguing, and Zhang Meina has even left her child behind and gone to live with a colleague in the dormitory."

In the past, the two of them had no children and lived either at the Chen family or the Zhang family. They didn't have to do housework and they just took care of themselves eating and drinking, so naturally there were no conflicts.

But now the child is still alive and living with a nosy mother-in-law, and they always quarrel over the slightest thing.

When the two of them quarrel, they ignore everything and even the children, throw them home, and run out to do whatever they want.

Only Jiang Dongmei's mother-in-law was dumbfounded.

She also hoped to live with her youngest son and his wife so that she could order her daughter-in-law to do work in the future.

Who knew that these two people had worse tempers than the other and slammed the door and ran away as soon as they had a disagreement.

In the end, I have to help them take care of the children myself.

"She deserves it. Doesn't she like her youngest son the most? Now she has a granddaughter to coax her. She should be content."

Jiang Dongmei admitted that she was gloating.

But that’s all. Anyway, as long as everyone can save face in the future, that’s enough.

Anyway, no matter what, she should pay for the old couple's retirement, but she will not bring them back to live with her.

In her opinion, they have already separated, and their relationship will remain the same, just maintaining a close relationship.

Jiang Mengxue thought this was a good idea.

People who are destined not to get along with each other, but have an inseparable relationship, are best kept neither too close nor too far away.

You can't count on them for help, but don't cause trouble or hold us back.

Seeing that the time was almost up, Jiang Mengxue planned to leave, and Jiang Dongmei also had to go to work.

They pushed the car to the vicinity of the Public Security Bureau, and Gu Qingbei came out just in time.

Liu Yang and his girlfriend Qin Xiaoai saw him to the door.

Jiang Mengxue and the other person walked over to say hello.

Liu Yang said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, Sister Dongmei."

Because they lived close to each other, Jiang Dongmei also became familiar with Liu Yang's mother.

So Liu Yang and Chen Hua would occasionally drink and chat together, especially with the relationship of Gu Qingbei, the two families became even closer.

Gu Qingbei glanced at his watch. It was getting late and they had been out for quite some time.

"Okay, we're going back now. When you have time, bring your partner home for dinner. My wife and my second uncle and second aunt are all at home.

If you like Dahei, you can ask Dahei to take you to the mountains."

The last time Liu Yang went there, he liked Dahei so much that if he had enough time, he would have wanted to take him out for a run.

But Dahei was not very interested in Liu Yang.

But Liu Yang didn't care. He just thought that he had never seen him before and just needed to get familiar with him. Gu Qingbei didn't discourage him.

Whether Dahei likes it or not, he won’t bite anyone.

Jiang Mengxue rode her bike to take Jiang Dongmei back to the supply and marketing cooperative and left.

Ride a bike to find Luan Huiying and others.

They found a small square and sat in a pavilion. Without the sun shining in, it was quite cool.

Mo Bao didn't sleep, the fairy was spinning around, and no one knew what he was looking at.

As soon as Jiang Mengxue came back, he understood the sound and looked in the direction where Jiang Mengxue made the sound.

Jiang Mengxue stepped forward and took it from him.

"Oh, Mobao isn't asleep yet. We're going home. Can we sleep on the way?"

Mobao weighs ten pounds, and it would be very tiring for my arms to hold it all the time.

Jiang Mengxue had seen people tie their children to their chests with something to free their hands.

So I tied it around my chest before coming here. Apart from being a little hot, it really made me feel a lot more relaxed.

On the way back, I happened to pass by the commune's post office. Gu Zhenjiang and Li Cuiying's pensions were sent directly to the commune, and they came to collect them on time every month.

There is also the share sent to Jiang Mengxue by the publishing house, which is more than 60 yuan this month. Adding it to her salary, her monthly salary is over 100 yuan.

Jiang Mengxue was very happy to get the money.

Although it has everything, I still liked it before I saw it.

Know what life will be like in the future.

Wages and prices will remain basically unchanged in the next twenty years.

But Jiang Mengxue felt that considering the salary of each person in their family, there was no need to keep too much money.

Put a part of it in the passbook, keep a part for daily spending, and the rest can be exchanged for gold and jewelry.

Especially the catastrophe that happened a few years later, as ordinary people, just passers-by in the era, they could not change anything.

But you can collect some antique treasures that will be destroyed.

She had read some information before, and found that during that decade, more than 10 million families had their homes confiscated.

At least tens of thousands of antique calligraphy and paintings were smashed and destroyed.

Some of the antiques that were smashed, the calligraphy and paintings that were burned, were secretly hidden away.

Some of the confiscated antiques will be placed in the Friendship Store, a place frequented by many foreigners.

You need foreign exchange coupons to buy things there, so not everyone can buy there.

Jiang Mengxue plans to go and see it when she has the chance, but that will be a few years later and it hasn't happened yet.

When we got home, Dahei and several other civets were waiting at the door.

There was clearly space left for them to enter by the door, but they insisted on waiting outside.

Tomorrow morning, Gu Qingbei and Luan Huiying will take a bus to the city and take the train back to the army.

So I plan to invite my uncle and his wife to dinner tonight.

As soon as she got home, Jiang Mengxue carried Mo Bao to the kang and settled him down. After making sure everything was alright, she went into the kitchen and started helping with the preparations.

Whenever Dahei was bored, he would go up the mountain, so the family never lacked meat.

In addition, Gu Qingbei got up in the morning and went to the pond on the mountain to catch several fish.

Jiang Mengxue planned to make grilled fish. She had onions, bean sprouts, tofu skin, celery, potatoes, and a lot of other ingredients at home.

Before cooking, Jiang Mengxue first boiled a large pot of herbal tea, poured it into a bucket, and placed it in the well so that it would cool down faster.

The grilled fish was made with homemade hot pot base, which was fragrant, spicy and numbing. Jiang Mengxue's mouth was almost watering while she was making it.

But she still has to breastfeed, so she can't eat such heavy food, otherwise Mobao will definitely feel uncomfortable after drinking the milk.

Jiang Mengxue and others are cooking here.

Gu Qingbei took Dahei to invite his uncle and others.

After thinking about it, he called his second and third uncles’ families over.

It has been a long time since the families have gotten together.

Jiang Mengxue doesn't go out often and is not very familiar with these families, so she plans to take the opportunity to get to know them.

But let alone Jiang Mengxue, even Gu Qingbei didn't remember some of them.
