Chen Meiyu maintained her posture with red eyes, allowing her daughter to vent freely. Her daughter always reported good news in her letters, but never bad news. It was obvious that she must have suffered a lot during her days in the countryside.
After Xu Manman gradually calmed down, Chen Meiyu pulled her over to sit on a stool, used a dry towel to wipe the tears from her face, and then slowly helped dry her hair.
Xu Jianguo came in from outside, "Mom! Sister!"
Seeing the posture of the two people, he walked closer, without saying a word, moved a small stool to the side and sat down, watching quietly.
"Sister, you are so beautiful." Xu Jianguo's eyes were full of stars. He had never seen anyone prettier than his sister.
Xu Manman smiled. She no longer pretended after taking a shower. Her skin was so white that you couldn't see her pores. Her facial features were bright and delicate, and her black and shiny hair made her look beautiful. She, Xu Manman, was a beauty who knew it.
"Sister, you look even better when you smile. Mom, you look good too."
Well, Xu Manman’s mother is also a tall beauty, and time has not left many traces on her face.
Xu Manman's facial features have completely inherited the best features of his parents, and his younger brother looks mostly like his father.
The silly boy made both mother and daughter laugh.
When Xu Gang pushed the door open, he saw this heartwarming scene.
"Wife, good girl." He greeted the women at home with a smile, "You little brat. Come and help me get the things."
Well, their sons are worthless.
The brother and sister had a lot of luggage, so Xu Jianguo went downstairs with his father again to finish moving everything.
Chen Meiyu dried Xu Manman's hair and tied it into a low ponytail with the ribbon she had just made.
"My dear, you must be tired from the car ride. You should take a rest first. Mom will go stew some meat for you and call you when the meal is ready."
"Mom, let me do it. I cook delicious food now." Xu Manman wanted to show her cooking skills to her family.
"It's your first day back, so let mom cook for you today, and then cook for me tomorrow, okay?" She still felt sorry for her daughter who was too tired.
Xu Manman never cooked at home before going to the countryside. She was given emergency training just before going to the countryside, but she only learned how to light a fire, boil water, and cook rice.
So when Xu Manman said that her cooking was delicious, everyone in the family was just trying to please her.
In the end, Xu Manman was pressed down on the bed by her mother. Maybe she was too tired. After all, it was difficult to sleep well on the train no matter how hard she tried. Maybe the bed was too soft. Xu Manman fell asleep in less than a minute after she lay down.
When I woke up again, I could smell the aroma of food in the room.
Get yourself ready, open the door and walk out.
"Uncle!" Chen Ming's father Chen Zhibin was helping to clear the table.
"Nannan, get up." My cousin and my uncle look like they were carved from the same mold. My uncle, with his smiling eyes, is also a handsome middle-aged man.
Ye Rong, who was carrying dishes out of the kitchen, saw Xu Manman and said in surprise, "Nannan, you are getting more and more beautiful."
He put the dishes on the table, took Xu Manman in his arms and looked at her.
"Aunt, you are getting more and more beautiful. When you stand next to my cousin, people who don't know you would think you are his sister." Xu Manman also praised with a smile.
"Our daughter is still the sweet talker." Ye Rong couldn't stop smiling because of Xu Manman's teasing.
"Manman, there's me, and there's me." This is the talkative second cousin Chen Feng, who is only one year younger than Chen Ming. Back then, his aunt had two babies in three years, but it also hurt her body.
"Second cousin."
Chen Ming slapped him on the back of the head, "What's wrong with you? Help serve the dishes!"
"Brother! I'm already this old, and you still pat my head." Chen Feng protested.
"Hmph." This was the disdain from his own brother. After all, a younger brother is still a younger brother.
The food was served. In order to welcome the children home, a lot of effort was put into preparing the dishes today.
Sweet and sour spare ribs, braised vegetarian chicken with scallions, stir-fried vegetables (fried gluten, vegetarian sausage, mushrooms, green peppers), scrambled eggs with loofah, stir-fried eggplant, and the eight-treasure duck that my uncle specially packed up from the state-owned restaurant.
At the dinner table, several parents kept picking up food for Xu Manman.
This one said, "Dear girl, eat more meat. Look at your skinny face."
The one who said, "Nannan, eat more, these are all your favorites."
Anyway, she never finished the food in her bowl. As soon as she took a little bit of it, her bowl was immediately filled up again.
Compared with her side, Chen Ming's side was "deserted and deserted". Except for Chen Meiyu's few words of concern for her nephew at the beginning, no one paid any attention to him afterwards.
The three little boys at the table said: We have gotten used to it over the years.
No one paid any attention to them, nor did it slow them down in picking up the food and meat.
