Li Xiangyun was so angry that she hit Huo Changgen a few times.
She angrily retorted, "You damned old man, why did you agree? You agreed yourself, so go and arrange the marriage yourself!"
"I wouldn't dare say anything. If I say something good or bad, given your sister's personality, she'll probably curse me to death."
"Why are you always causing trouble? Would it kill you to say no?!"
Li Xiangyun caught Huo Changgen and gave him a good scolding.
Huo Changgen didn't dare say a word.
Since the Huo Changlan incident, his status at home has been declining, and he is even less influential than the third son's wife.
He glanced at Li Xiangyun, then at Yun Ningyan.
The third son's wife is still here watching; this old woman really doesn't give him any face at all.
Seeing that he was still unconvinced, Li Xiangyun raised her hand and slapped him a few more times.
"You're still not convinced? What did I say wrong? Look at your sister's behavior!"
"Who dares to interfere in her family's affairs? Interfering will only bring trouble and no benefit whatsoever."
"If I manage things well, we don't benefit; if I manage them poorly, they'll spread bad rumors about me everywhere."
"From now on, if you see Huo Changlan, you better stay away, you hear me?"
Yun Ningyan listened to her mother-in-law scolding her father-in-law. She sat there, unsure whether to leave or stay.
Simply keep your eyes focused on your nose and your mind at ease, and look up at the sky to avoid embarrassment.
Huo Changgen sighed: "I didn't say anything, why are you so anxious? We can just ignore it."
"Just because you say you want to get involved in her affairs doesn't mean you have to. What can I do to you if you don't care? You're so powerful now!"
After Huo Changgen finished speaking, he went back into the house.
Li Xiangyun went back to the kitchen to cook, muttering, "Look at your father, he does stupid things every day, he has no sense of caution towards others at all."
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Father can now see through Aunt's true nature. I think he doesn't want to get involved anymore, but he probably has no choice but to say a few words to appease her."
Li Xiangyun laughed and said, "Who knows what he's thinking? I get annoyed just looking at him."
The two exchanged a few words, and seeing that the oil in the pan was hot, they went to stir-fry the vegetables.
At this moment, Huo Jianshe returned.
Yun Ningyan stood up to go back: "Mother, I'm going back!"
"It will be dark when I take you home, so please be careful."
Huo Jianshe, carrying a basket, smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go! I'll take you home, and I'll come back for dinner later."
The two walked home, and he waited for Yun Ningyan to turn on the lights before going back inside.
"Third sister-in-law, Third brother said you should lock the door, he might be back very late."
"Okay! You can go back now!"
Yun Ningyan waved her hand, and Huo Jianshe turned and left.
He was very hungry, having worked for most of the day.
I haven't eaten a single bite, and I'm feeling really hungry and miserable.
Once Huo Jianshe left, Yun Ningyan locked the front door from the inside, so Huo Junshan could return via the space.
After washing up, she lay down on the bed. It was a bit hot, and she wasn't sleepy at all.
I just feel uncomfortable from the heat, and my body feels sticky even though I just washed it.
Holding a fan, I kept fanning myself. I kind of miss the days when we had air conditioning.
I wonder when we'll get air conditioning here.
It's probably not there yet in Beijing.
It seems that air conditioning only started to appear slowly in the 1980s, but it wasn't something that ordinary families could afford.
As she pondered these thoughts, she gradually drifted off to sleep.
When Huo Junshan returned, it was already 10 p.m.
When he came out of the space to wash up, he woke Yun Ningyan up.
She rubbed her eyes and asked, "When did you get back?"
Huo Junshan leaned down and kissed her cheek: "I just took a shower, go to sleep! I'll go to sleep right away."
Yun Ningyan turned over and went back to sleep.
Huo Junshan dried his hair and got into bed.
Educated youth settlement.
After finishing their work, everyone ate dinner, washed up, and went to bed to rest.
Even if I can't sleep, lying there is more comfortable.
After a long day of work, everyone was exhausted.
Yang Laidi hadn't spoken to Zhao Weiguo for several days.
Recently, the plots of land assigned to the two of us at work are far apart.
During the meal, Zhao Weiguo gave her a meaningful look.
She blushed and lowered her head to eat, not daring to look at Zhao Weiguo again.
Yu Lili and Liang Weiwei exchanged a glance and both smiled knowingly.
Liang Weiwei has gradually become familiar with them.
They already knew that the two were dating.
Seeing the two exchanging glances, Yu Lili chuckled and said, "Are you two ever going to stop? You're always exchanging glances right in front of us during meals."
Yang Laidi's face turned even redder.
"Yu Lili, what are you saying? Don't talk nonsense."
After finishing his meal in a few bites, he went inside.
Zhao Weiguo wanted to settle things between the two of them as soon as possible, preferably by getting married directly.
It would be even better if he could have a son or daughter.
After watching Yang Laidi leave, he put down his bowl and went inside.
He glanced at the closed door of the girls' dormitory and gently knocked: "Yang Zhiqing, do you want to go for a walk?"
Yang Laidi opened the door from the inside and nodded.
The two went out one after the other.
We went straight to the grove of trees not far away.
Ji Boyu, Qian Dazhi, and Liu Liguo, who were eating, simultaneously poked Ji Boyu in the middle.
Ji Boyu gave them both a reassuring look, and the two continued eating with their heads down.
No one else noticed the interaction between the three.
After everyone else had finished eating and left, Ji Boyu quietly followed the two of them, but he dared not make a move, for fear of alerting Zhao Weiguo.
I only dared to follow from a distance.
When they reached the grove, he found a large tree, stood behind it, and listened to the two men's conversation.
