"Hurry, hurry, go home. It's so cold. Don't let the children get cold."
With that, Miao Xianghua ordered his two sons to help with the luggage, and he took Lu Jun'an's hand, and the family went home warmly.
The few of them returned to the Lu family. Miao Xianghua had prepared the dumpling filling for Li Guifen early in the morning. She just had to wrap it up and put it in the pot. This meal was simple and not easy to make mistakes.
After arriving at the Lu family, Miao Xianghua first sent his two sons back home, and while he was still waiting for dinner, he took time to take care of his little grandson.
Li Guifen felt very embarrassed. It was freezing cold, and her in-laws didn't let their two old men go to pick up the person. Instead, they took their son to pick him up, and then didn't let their son eat at home. It was so embarrassing.
"Oh, what's the big deal? They're two grown men, are they afraid of being cold? We've already cooked dinner at home, and I'll go back and eat later."
Li Guifen quickly stopped him, "No, no, you can't go back. You can eat here. I killed a chicken and made some soup. I also have dumplings with the filling you prepared for me. A bowl of hot dumplings and a bowl of chicken soup, how comfortable it is."
Miao Xianghua still wanted to refuse, but Li Guifen simply asked Lu Qingyou to block the door and not let him leave unless he had eaten.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat at your house. It just so happens that I really want to pamper my little grandson."
Li Guifen laughed and reached out to tease her grandson. Hearing them giggling, she felt extremely happy.
Jiang Manyue and Lu Lin were cooking dumplings in the kitchen. The child had just come back, so they asked their parents to enjoy the child first.
During the meal, Li Guifen and Miao Xianghua were reluctant to put the children down. Although the children were still young and had not started to be fed with complementary food, they still carried the children to the table and let them smell the food.
After dinner, Miao Xianghua and Li Guifen coaxed the child to sleep before preparing to go home.
While the child was asleep, Jiang Manyue asked Li Guifen to help look after him, and went home with his mother, Lu Junan, who was going to play with his friends, taking the gifts with him.
After distributing the gifts, Jiang Manyue was not in a hurry to go back. After all, her mother-in-law was looking after the children and Lu Lin was at home, so it didn't matter if she went back later.
Miao Xianghua smiled and told her about the changes in the family over the past year, the most important of which was that the fourth and fifth rooms were about to have new babies.
The fifth brother Jiang Jiantao and his sister-in-law Liu Liping, who got married during the Chinese New Year last year, are about to have a baby. Liu Liping was found out she was pregnant in the summer, and she is now more than six months pregnant.
The fourth brother Jiang Jianbin and his sister-in-law Chen Li also had some movement. They were diagnosed more than a month later than Liu Liping, which means it has been five months now.
"Really? We're going to have a new baby in our family, Mom. There will be a bunch of kids surrounding you and calling you grandma."
Miao Xianghua laughed happily. Their family has a lot of children. The older ones, Jiang Hong and Jiang Cheng, are just in elementary school, and the younger ones are following in a long line. There are two more in the belly. Their family will be really lively in the future.
"Fourth sister-in-law and fifth sister-in-law, do you prefer boys or girls?"
Fourth sister-in-law Chen Li glanced at the children chasing and playing in the yard and said, "I don't want to have another naughty boy like Jiang Yan. I want a girl, who will be quiet and gentle, and more considerate."
Fifth sister-in-law Liu Liping was more reserved, just pursing her lips and smiling, "It doesn't matter what kind of baby it is, they are all mine and Jiantao's children anyway."
Chen Li said with certainty, "According to our family tradition, the first child is definitely a son. It's not certain whether my second child will be a girl. Look at my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, they both gave birth to sons. It's not easy to have a daughter in our family. Mom gave birth to five sons before she gave birth to a girl after a full month."
Sister-in-law Lin Qiufang could only smile helplessly when she spoke about it. Others who wanted to have a son couldn't, and when it came to their family's turn, they wanted to have a daughter but couldn't.
The second sister-in-law Zhao Yanling and the third sister-in-law Zhang Chunhong did give birth to a girl, but they were both born to the husband's son, as if it had become a serious tradition of the Jiang family.
Miao Xianghua twisted the thread and said with a smile, "That's the tradition of your grandmother's family. You have four uncles, nine cousins, and a bunch of nephews."
Chen Li spread her hands and said, "Look, this is all tradition. Our family will grow in the future, and I guess we'll have to set up ten or so tables just to have enough seating for the New Year."
Everyone laughed and talked about Jiang Manyue's twins.
"Come to think of it, my little sister is following our family tradition, isn't she? Giving birth to two big fat boys in her lifetime, wouldn't that make the old Lu family very happy?"
"There are only two of us in this life, who wouldn't be happy seeing that?"
"Little sister, when will you bring the child over for us to see? We can go to your house to see him. It's winter, and it's not good for the child to be exposed to the wind."
Several sisters-in-law were chattering, and Jiang Manyue responded to them one by one with a smile, saying that they could come to see the house anytime, as it was close by and only a few steps away.
After chatting for a while, the topic changed from the children to the gossip in the team.
Fourth sister-in-law Chen Li asked while helping her mother-in-law twist the thread, "Hey, Man Yue, when you were at home, didn't you help intellectuals and get praised by the team leader? Do you remember?"
Jiang Manyue nodded. Of course she remembered. She had studied Russian with them for a long time and was planning to visit them in a few days with some gifts.
"They just had a wedding at the Youth Hostel. Two of the educated youth got married."
Jiang Manyue exclaimed, "Ah!" and asked, "Who got married?"
Chen Li shook her head. "I don't remember the name, but it was two people from the Youth League who got married. But it must be a woman. There was only one woman in the Youth League, and her name was Tang or something. Anyway, we just called her Comrade Tang when we met."
Jiang Manyue nodded. There was indeed only one girl, Tang Zhenyi, in the Youth League Home, but Jiang Manyue really couldn't guess who she married.
But since they are getting married, it is a happy event. Jiang Manyue plans to bring two new pillowcases with her, which will be considered as her wedding gift to them.
Just as the sisters-in-law were chatting, Aunt Xuelian, a neighbor of the Lu family, hurried to the Jiang family.
"Man Yue! Something happened at home! Go back and check it out!"
Jiang Manyue was startled, stood up suddenly and ran out quickly.
"Aunt Xuelian, what happened to my family? What happened?"
Aunt Xuelian glanced into the yard and asked her, "Isn't Jun'an here?"
Jiang Manyue didn't know what she was up to and was extremely anxious. At this time, she was still asking where Jun'an was and what he was doing?
"Oh, it's nothing else. Jun'an's maternal grandmother came to visit. They said they missed their grandson Jun'an and insisted on taking him back. They didn't say when to send him back. Your parents-in-law didn't want to, so the two families started arguing, and Lu Lin is stuck in the middle."
When Jiang Manyue heard this, she hurriedly followed Aunt Xuelian, and did not forget to turn back and tell her mother to keep an eye on Jun'an. If he came back, don't let him go home, but let him stay at the Jiang family.
