Huo Guodong had already called several people over, including Huo Jianshe.
"Uncle, my second brother said he's not coming. My sister-in-law is all alone at home, and she can't eat by herself."
The captain nodded, then turned to Huo Jianguo and asked, "What about the other two children?"
Huo Jianguo: "It's been sent to Lao San's house. My parents are watching over it!"
"That's good. Come in and sit down, it's warm inside."
The whole family sat inside the house, except for Yun Ningyan and Zhang Guihua, who sat on the kang (a heated brick bed).
Huo Jianguo and the others didn't know what was going on.
The captain laughed and said, "I called you all over here to make it a bit more lively."
"Another thing is that Huo Min has found a boyfriend, and he came over to visit today."
Huo Jianshe asked curiously, "Who is it? Is it that Yang Dasheng?"
“My third brother made me call Minmin twice that day, and I knew something was wrong.”
The captain raised his pipe and tapped him on the head: "You little rascal!"
After everyone sat inside for a while, Yang Dasheng came over.
He had visited the brigade leader's house before.
Zhang Guihua heard someone knocking on the door.
Huo Junshan got up and went with her to avoid embarrassing the old lady.
"Hello, Auntie!"
Yang Dasheng saw Zhang Guihua go up and bow.
Zhang Guihua was startled, then realized that young people nowadays just bow.
She smiled and welcomed them in.
Yang Dasheng pushed his bicycle over.
Everyone inside came out at this moment.
Yang Dasheng greeted them one by one: "Hello Uncle Huo, hello brothers, hello sisters-in-law!"
He didn't know whose house it was, so he just said it all at once.
He turned around to get the things loaded in the car.
Huo Jianguo and the others rushed over to help.
Zhang Guihua laughed and said, "This is your first time here, isn't it a waste to buy so much stuff?"
"Don't buy it next time, we have everything we need at home."
Yang Dasheng chuckled and said, "You are my elders, and I cannot be impolite on my first visit."
"Uncle Huo, this is the liquor I bought for you."
"There's also a sponge cake for my two sisters-in-law and aunt."
"There are also two cartons of Daqianmen cigarettes."
"There's also flour and a few pounds of apples!"
The group sat down in the room, and Yang Dasheng introduced them one by one.
"Auntie, look, I also bought Minmin a coat and pants."
"There are two more pairs of shoes, which I bought myself, and I don't know if they'll fit."
Zhang Guihua couldn't stop smiling.
But she also felt bad about the money she spent: "Dasheng, you bought too much. How much money did this cost? Try to save some money in the future."
Yang Dasheng waved his hand: "Hey, it's nothing, Huo and I... this is what I should do."
He almost let something slip in his excitement, and glanced cautiously at Brother Huo.
When he realized that Brother Huo seemed not to have heard him, he grinned and held the clothes in his hand for Zhang Guihua to see.
They've all sat down, but Huo Min is nowhere to be seen. Could it be that she's changed her mind again?
He felt uneasy: "Auntie, where's Minmin? Isn't she at home?"
Zhang Guihua laughed and said, "She's in her room, probably still not up, because she's feeling cold."
"I'll go get her!"
Upon hearing that she was still asleep, Yang Dasheng quickly stopped her, saying, "Auntie, she's still young and sleepy. Let her sleep! We can call her when it's time to eat."
In fact, Huo Min had gotten up a long time ago and knew that Yang Dasheng had come.
I'm so sorry, so many people have come to my house!
She was too ashamed to go out.
The two sisters-in-law were very envious of all the good things.
But I'm also happy for my sister-in-law; I hope she'll have a good life from now on.
We can also help them out.
Huo Guodong and Huo Guoliang sat to the side, chuckling foolishly.
The captain was a little unhappy. Were his two sons stupid?
They don't even know to pour water when guests come.
"Eldest brother, second brother, you two hurry up and go get some water for Dasheng. He must be freezing after walking all this way."
After being scolded by their father, the two of them immediately went to get water.
Huo Guodong and Huo Guoliang went to the main room to get a kettle and pour water, and they saw that the door to Huo Min's room was open a crack.
Huo Guodong found it really funny. He quietly walked over and whispered, "Little sister, why aren't you coming out? Are you shy?"
Huo Min was startled. She glared at her older brother and said, "I don't want to go out to work. Call me when it's time to eat."
After saying that, he slammed the door shut.
Huo Guodong shook his head, clearly wanting to come out, yet afraid to.
So cowardly!
Zhang Guihua and her two daughters-in-law went to cook.
Yun Ningyan was bored staying in the room.
She was the only woman in the room, surrounded by men.
The brigade leader was smoking in the room, and the smell was unbearable.
She then went to find Huo Min.
"Third Sister-in-law, how's it outside?"
Yun Ningyan smiled and said, "Yang Dasheng is here. He bought you a coat, trousers, and leather shoes. Aren't you going out to take a look?"
Huo Min shook her head: "Let's wait a bit! There are people outside, I'm too embarrassed to go out."
Yun Ningyan laughed and said, "Don't be shy, we have to go out eventually. If you don't go out, Yang Dasheng will think you're deliberately avoiding him!"
Huo Min waved her hand: "No, I just felt there were too many people staring at the two of us, and I felt awkward."
“Then let’s go out together later. It’s not a good idea for you to keep hiding.”
Yun Ningyan sat on her kang (a heated brick bed), and since she had nothing to do, she started braiding Huo Min's hair.
Huo Min simply tied her hair into a ponytail.
Yun Ningyan braided her hair into a four-strand braid and tied it with a bow made of hair tie.
It looks really good.
