Feeling guilty, Huo Junshan quickly got her a cotton-padded coat, cotton-padded trousers, a scarf, and a hat.
"With a hat and scarf, I promise you won't be able to tell at all."
Yun Ningyan angrily threw him another pillow, which Huo Junshan caught and placed on the bed.
Then he helped his wife dress and put on her shoes. Only after Yun Ningyan went into the space to wash up did he begin to make the bed.
Take off the sheets and duvet cover that got dirty last night, and throw them in the space later to wash them with the space's washing machine.
He then took out clean sheets and blankets and changed them.
After Yun Ningyan finished washing up, he also cleaned himself up.
She came out of the space, not wanting to talk to Huo Junshan, glared at him fiercely, and went to the kitchen to find something to eat.
Huo Junshan hurriedly followed, afraid of really angering the person.
Huo Junshan steamed dumplings in the morning, and fearing that Yun Ningyan would find them too tiring, he also prepared two side dishes.
Yun Ningyan ate a few, then didn't want any more.
After Yun Ningyan had eaten and drunk her fill, Huo Junshan locked the door and took her to visit other people's homes.
Yun Ningyan didn't forget to ask, "Have you fed Dahei yet?"
"I've fed him, don't worry!"
Yun Ningyan took out a pound of chicken cake, a pound of brown sugar, and a pound of fruit candy from her space.
"Let's go, let's go to the brigade leader's house first."
The two walked towards the brigade leader's house.
There were many people at the brigade leader's house, including educated youth and commune members.
When the two arrived, the courtyard was bustling with activity.
The team leader is usually in charge of production, so he deals with these people the most.
In addition, the brigade leader was a good person, so the commune members respected him.
As the two entered the courtyard, Huo Min called out, "Father, Mother, my third sister-in-law is here!"
After Huo Min finished speaking, she quickly went to move two stools to the main room.
"Sister-in-law, please sit down."
Huo Junshan handed the things he was carrying to Zhang Guihua: "Auntie, you can put them away."
Everyone else watched with envy: "Look at him, the third brother has married a good wife, we're so envious!"
Zhang Guihua smiled and said, "That's right. Look at my face. It's the face cream that Ningning made. It works really well for me."
"Her skin has become much whiter, and even her hands, which used to feel very dry, are much better now. They're white and tender. Ningning is very capable!"
Yun Ningyan was a little embarrassed by the praise.
Zhang Guihua pulled Yun Ningyan into the house, took out a red envelope and said, "Ningning, don't think it's too little. This is a token of our appreciation from your uncle and me. Please accept it!"
Yun Ningyan couldn't refuse, so she immediately put it away.
This is also a custom for celebrating the Lunar New Year.
This is commonly known as lucky money. They are getting married for the first time, and they won't have any money tomorrow.
However, Yun Ningyan also gave each of the children in their family a red envelope containing one yuan.
The two didn't stay long before heading to visit other homes.
Once the two left, everyone else followed suit.
Huo Junshan then took her to visit several families of higher social standing for a while, including the secretary's and accountant's homes.
I gave each family a pound of steamed egg cake.
After wandering around for half a day, Yun Ningyan, who hadn't eaten much in the morning, was already a little hungry.
The two walked towards the Huo family's residence.
When Li Xiangyun saw the two return, she asked with a smile, "Did you go for a walk?"
Yun Ningyan nodded: "I went, I took a look around."
It was the first day of the Lunar New Year at noon. Li Xiangyun made stewed pork ribs, along with some leftover vegetables from yesterday's lunch.
I cooked two more dishes, and that concluded my lunch.
They spent the afternoon playing cards at home, and Yun Ningyan also went up and played a few rounds.
This made Huo Changlan, Yao Qingqing, and Yao Tingting even more eager to try it.
But nobody lets them play.
Li Xiangyun cooked dumplings for dinner.
After everyone had finished dinner, Li Xiangyun prepared to give out New Year's money.
Everyone else didn't have one except for Daya and Xiaohuzi.
In the past, people had to kowtow when giving out New Year's money, but now that we live in a new society, Daya and Xiaohuzi stand in front of Li Xiangyun and each bow once.
Li Xiangyun considered it done once she sent out the red envelopes.
Yun Ningyan was surprised to receive one as well. Li Xiangyun called out to her with a smile, "Ningning, come here! This is your red envelope!"
She exclaimed in surprise, "I got a red envelope too?"
Li Xiangyun chuckled and said, "Why can't you have one?"
Yun Ningyan took the money but didn't open it, intending to open it later when she got back.
Li Xiangyun gave Zhang Hongying another red envelope, saying, "Both of you are getting married for the first time this year, so you both deserve one!"
Huo Changlan, Yao Qingqing, and Yao Tingting noticed that everyone else had something except for her two daughters, and her expression turned somewhat unpleasant.
Huo Changgen coughed twice.
He nudged Li Xiangyun's arm, but she ignored him.
Seeing the envious looks on his two nieces' faces, he glared at Li Xiangyun and said, "Hurry up and give it to them, the children are watching!"
Li Xiangyun gave each person a red envelope containing one cent.
Yao Qingqing and Yao Tingting were overjoyed.
But when the two opened the red envelope, they found that it only contained one cent.
Yao Qingqing looked pale and sickly.
She rolled her eyes and asked, "Third sister-in-law, how much is in your red envelope? Could it be that yours is the biggest? Auntie always dotes on you the most, so hurry up and open it so we can see."
After she said that, everyone looked at Yun Ningyan, wanting to know how much money was in her red envelope.
Zhang Hongying had just secretly looked at her red envelope; it only contained one yuan.
Xiao Huzi and Daya also got one yuan each.
Yun Ningyan glanced at Yao Qingqing and sneered, "I won't tear it down. If you tell me to tear it down, I'll tear it down. How embarrassing would that make me!"
Yao Qingqing: "Third sister-in-law, don't you see everyone wants to see it? Just open it. I think yours must be ten yuan. Auntie is just biased!"
