Hua Min came out with a small fruit plate. Seeing Lu Li and Lu Shiwei hugging each other, she didn't say anything and just put the fruit plate on the square table.
As soon as Lu Li saw the delicious food, he quickly let go of Lu Shiwei, "Aunt, is this the preserved fruit you bought? I knew you were the best to me."
Lu Shiwei grabbed a handful of dried cherries for Lu Li and said, "Eat more, silly boy."
"Thank you, Auntie. The preserved fruit is sour and sweet and really delicious."
Su Yan was dumbfounded. She had clearly brought these dried cherries, so how did it become something that Lu Shiwei had bought?
Hua Min quickly explained, "Lu Li, the preserved fruit you're eating was brought back by your sister-in-law from her parents' home. If you want to thank someone, thank your sister-in-law."
Lu Li said "oh" indifferently, and Lu Shiwei quickly changed the subject, "Auntie knows you like to eat ribs, so I specially cut two pounds of ribs for you today, so you can eat more later."
"Really? I can finally eat meat again today."
Haha, she sounds so pitiful. She just had fish yesterday. Hasn't she eaten meat in the past two days?
"The weather is dry, and my aunt bought you a box of Wan Zi Qian Hong moisturizing cream." After Lu Shiwei said this, he took out a flat paper box from his pocket and handed it to Lu Li.
"Aunt, Aunt, you are so kind. You don't know, yesterday Sister Yaoyao wanted to give me her vanishing cream, but my brother forced me to return it."
While complaining, Lu Li quickly took the box of Wan Zi Qian Hong moisturizing cream and stuffed it into his trouser pocket, and smiled sweetly at Lu Shi.
"You're getting paid, so just buy what you like. Why do you have to accept things from others?" Hua Min couldn't help but complain.
"Sister-in-law, don't blame Li Li. Others want to give her gifts, not her.
Li Licai works for a very low salary, and you ask her to pay for living expenses every month. Where does she get the spare money to buy vanishing cream?
By the way, Ting'er's wife, how much living expenses do you two pay for eating at home each month? "
Do I need to pay for living expenses? Su Yan then remembered that she was the only one in the family without a job and no salary to hand in. She was just living off the money.
Su Yan didn’t know whether Lu Li paid for living expenses, but the original owner had always eaten in the cafeteria.
"Ting'er will receive living expenses every month regardless of whether he eats at home or not."
"Now that he's married, there's another person in the family. They should give him two. Sister-in-law, Li Li needs to save money to get married so he doesn't have to pay for living expenses anymore, right?"
"I asked her to pay for her living expenses, and I also wanted to help her save some for her dowry. If I left all my salary in her hands, I guess it would be gone within a few days of getting paid."
The little girl loves to show off. She wants to buy this and that. Twenty yuan a month is not enough for her.
When it comes to dowry, Lu Shiwei immediately became interested, "Sister-in-law, how much dowry do you plan to prepare for Li Li?"
Su Yan had never seen so many nosy sisters-in-law. After getting married, they returned to their eldest brother's house and started to meddle in their family affairs. It was so annoying.
This kind of person, the more you pay attention to her, the more excited she will talk. Su Yan was too lazy to pay attention to her. She also grabbed a handful of dried cherries from the fruit bowl and stuffed them into her mother-in-law Hua Min's hands. "Mom, let's go cook."
"Go ahead, sister-in-law, go cook. I'll have a good chat with Li Li."
Hua Min sighed softly, turned around and pulled Su Yan to the kitchen.
Su Yan squatted in front of the stove and lit the fire. She asked quietly, "Mom, is my little sister my aunt's child?"
"Why do you say that?"
"Don't you notice they look alike? My aunt looked at her in a strange way. I thought she was my aunt's daughter."
“Bang!”
Hua Min paused and the spatula she was holding suddenly fell to the ground. Could it be that Li'er was really her sister-in-law's daughter?
Could the child from the Gu family be her son?
Hua Min still didn't want to believe this was true. What should she do if this was true?
She thought for a moment and explained, "When I gave birth to Li'er, she already had two children. My mother-in-law said she saw how hard I was working, so she helped us take care of the child. The child spent more time with her grandparents than with us.
Your aunt's in-laws' home is not far from the Lu family's old house, and she often visits her parents' home, so Li'er has been close to her since she was a child."
Hua Min felt depressed when she thought about this. Lu Li was spoiled by her mother-in-law and sister-in-law.
The meal was ready soon, and Lu Fengnian and Lu Ting, father and son, also returned.
Lu Shiwei suddenly saw his elder brother coming back and quickly stood up to greet him. "Brother! Xiao Ting, you guys are back."
As soon as Lu Fengnian entered the room, he saw his sister talking and laughing with his daughter, but he didn't know what they were talking about.
"Little sister, you're here? What brings you here today? Are you here to borrow food from us?"
"The food supply in the city is also insufficient, but the Gu family is not bad, so we still have enough food to eat. Big brother, I am not here to borrow food today."
"Even if you come to borrow food, I don't have any extra. Xiaochen and Xiaoyu still need to bring food to school, and I have to deliver food to my parents on time."
He now has elderly parents and young children to take care of, but fortunately his eldest and second sons are married.
"Brother, I'm here today to propose marriage to our Lu Li. Look, your daughter-in-law Ting married into your family at the age of 18, and Lu Li is already 19 years old. You as parents don't have to be in a hurry."
"Of course I'm anxious. I wanted to find her a boyfriend before, but she kept saying that the soldiers weren't good-looking, and the good-looking ones didn't like her. Who can I blame for that?"
"Dad, the soldiers you introduced are either pig farmers or farmers. What's the point of following them?"
"He's a company commander after all. What's wrong with raising pigs? What's wrong with farming? Without him leading those soldiers to raise pigs and farm, what would the other soldiers eat?
The supply from above is already insufficient, so it is remarkable that our military region can be self-sufficient and meet its basic needs."
