Huo Junshan smiled and said, "Since you came into my life, my life has been getting better and better. You are my lucky star."
Yun Ningyan shook her head and chuckled. Wasn't Huo Junshan also her lucky star?
Although she has a space, it is subject to the prejudices against women in this era.
She couldn't run such a big business on her own.
I can't earn that much money.
"We are inseparable, and we also have two babies."
Yun Ningyan looked down at Huo Yunchuan and Huo Yunxi lying beside her.
He kissed them both on the cheek in turn.
"I'll go to the commune tomorrow and ask Yang Dasheng to help me get some bricks."
"Brother, this matter is basically confirmed."
"We can get married once the house is built."
After returning home, Li Xiangyun thought about it carefully and felt that she should talk to her sons about it.
To avoid upsetting the daughter-in-law.
Especially the second son's family, they never say a word and seem honest and unassuming.
Actually, I always talk to my second son about things; he's quite clever.
Let's make things clear so we don't cause any future conflicts.
"Old man, the third brother just gave me two hundred yuan to keep, because he's worried we won't have enough money."
Huo Changgen nodded: "Ningning doesn't have any objections, right? I think we shouldn't take Lao San's money. Didn't we give him a hundred during the New Year?"
Li Xiangyun smiled bitterly: "Tell me, if we don't take it, what will happen to the boss's business?"
"The eldest brother gave five hundred yuan, the bride price is three hundred yuan, and he also wants to build a house."
"Then there will be no money left. The eldest brother just got married and has no money at all. What should we do?"
"I'll talk to the eldest brother about this later and tell him to remember the third brother's kindness."
"Now that the third brother is doing well, the brothers should help each other out."
Huo Changgen sighed, "It's all our fault for being incompetent. I was just afraid of upsetting the third brother's family! I've been helping the other brothers all this time!"
Li Xiangyun waved her hand: "This money was given to me by the third brother through Ningning. I think he wouldn't have given it to me if Ningning hadn't spoken up."
Li Xiangyun closed the door to the room.
He kept his voice very low, as if afraid of being overheard.
"Let me tell you, didn't the third brother go out a few times before? He even took Ningning with him. They went out to do business, and they must have made money!"
"Otherwise, relying solely on Ningning's family's subsidies won't be enough."
“Our third brother is capable. It’s no big deal that he can help the other brothers; we’re all family.”
"Although Ningning and Lao San are sensible, they should still remember the good things the two of them did for them."
"In the end, this family still depends on the third son to support it. You should treat the third son and his wife better in the future."
Huo Changgen nodded: "I know! We're the ones who let Lao San down."
"Alright, I'll go ask Lao Wu to call the two of them over for dinner. We can talk things out tonight to avoid any problems later."
She took out a piece of cured meat and a few sausages.
I'm going to cook a meal for the whole family to eat together.
"Fifth brother, go and call your third brother and sister-in-law, and tell them to come over for dinner tonight."
Huo Jianshe ran away immediately after hearing this.
"Third brother, third sister-in-law, Mother said you can come over for dinner tonight."
Huo Junshan nodded: "I understand, you can go back now!"
Li Xiangyun is already busy in the kitchen.
There weren't many vegetables at home, so she picked a large cabbage.
They brought out quite a few dumplings.
We've almost finished the dumplings.
Huo Junshan and Yun Ningyan wrapped the baby up and brought him over.
Huo Changgen was extremely fond of it.
He had never seen him before.
He would occasionally go with Li Xiangyun to visit her; an old man like him couldn't always go to his daughter-in-law's room.
He held Huo Yunchuan and called him "grandson" repeatedly.
Even Yun Ningyan found it nauseating to hear them shout.
"These two children change every day, they're so beautiful."
"I think Xixi and Ningning look exactly alike."
Huo Junshan smiled and said, "Xixi looks just like Yanyan, they are both very beautiful."
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "The child is still smiling now, so you can't tell."
"Huo Junshan, you watch the child! I'll go help in the kitchen?"
Whenever she had a little free time, she wanted to go out for a walk.
She's tired of staying home with her two kids every day.
Huo Junshan nodded: "Go ahead! Dad and I will take care of the child."
Yan Yan stays at home with her two children every day, and she also wants to go out for a walk.
When the weather gets a bit better, let Mom and Dad look after the child, and we'll take Yanyan to the city for a stroll.
"Mother, I'll help you. What do you need me to do?"
Li Xiangyun chuckled and said, "No need, why don't you help me start the fire!"
"I can handle the rest myself."
Yun Ningyan sat in front of the stove to help tend the fire.
"Mom, what are you making?"
Li Xiangyun smiled and said, "You like cured meat and sausages, don't you?"
Yun Ningyan nodded: "I prefer sausage."
"It's cooking in the pot right now. I'll cut you a piece when it's done."
Li Xiangyun lifted the brick to take a look at the pot.
When she felt it was about time, she took the sausage out and cut it in half.
"Here, sit over there and eat while you work."
Yun Ningyan took it, took a bite, and exclaimed, "Delicious!"
"After dinner, don't leave yet. I want to talk to you about something, about your older brother."
"good!"
Li Xiangyun was quick and efficient at cooking, while Yun Ningyan tended the fire.
She cooked the dishes and soon the meal was ready.
Huo Jianshe and Huo Jianjun went to set the table, and the whole family sat down together.
"Eat quickly, everyone pick up your chopsticks."
Zhang Hongying was holding her child in her arms; the child was already able to do things.
Li Xiangyun accepted it.
"You eat first, I can eat while I'm holding you."
Zhang Hongying laughed and said, "Mom, he's very quick. Be careful, don't let him grab the bowl!"
Huo Nianfeng can sit up now, but he's still restless.
Li Xiangyun held him while eating and teasing him.
Huo Nianfeng now always wants to eat the food of adults.
Li Xiangyun fed him a little corn porridge.
But corn porridge is hard to digest, so I didn't let him eat that much.
After finishing their meal, Huo Junshan and Huo Jianguo went to clear the dishes.
Li Xiangyun said, "Let's all find a place to sit down. We need to talk about something later."
When Huo Junshan and Huo Jianguo returned, Li Xiangyun continued, "Your eldest brother has arranged a marriage for you with Aunt Niu Er's niece."
Zhang Hongying smiled and said, "This is a good thing. It's time for my brother to find a companion."
Li Xiangyun nodded: "But she is a young woman, it would be unfair for her to marry your brother. He wants a dowry of three hundred and two new brick houses."
As soon as she said that...
Everyone fell silent.
Huo Jianshe spoke first: "Mom, then build a house for my eldest brother. Anyway, I'm not getting married now, so take out the money you left me and use it."
Huo Jianjun: Me too, I have no plans to do that now! I'll use mine too.
Huo Jiandang looked at Zhang Hongying, who smiled and said, "Go ahead! She's still a young woman, it's only right that she asks for more things."
"My brother can't stay single forever."
