Here, Xu Manman got off the plane, went home to rest for a while, and then drove back to the Xu family yard with Jin Zichu.
In response to her mother's warm yet complaining greeting, Xu Manman seemed very calm and called everyone over to share the gifts.
However, the gifts she brought to everyone this time were mainly practical, mostly food and daily necessities. She no longer gave jewelry to female relatives as she did in the past.
Ever since what happened at her second cousin's house, Xu Manman discovered that money, sometimes, is not always a good thing for ordinary people.
Once you have money and enjoy a life without lack of money, you will naturally pursue higher quality, and that is how greed comes about.
She later calculated that Lin Juan took 200,000 yuan in cash and left, but in fact, the jewelry Xu Manman gave her in recent years was worth more than 100,000 yuan. This part was not included in the account during the divorce.
These things were of little value to Xu Manman, and she hadn't paid much attention to them before. However, she was suddenly awakened by Chen Meiyu's scolding, and after going back to reflect on them, she discovered the problems.
She did not deny that she still had some shortcomings in her work and often acted without thinking, so from now on, she would solve the problem from the source.
But everyone who received the gifts was very happy.
Chen Meiyu was also very happy to see her daughter and son-in-law return. Thinking of what happened before, she was afraid that her daughter still had some resentment in her heart, so she asked tentatively, "It's getting late, why don't you stay here today? Your yard over there hasn't been anyone living there for a long time, and it will be troublesome to clean it. Why don't you just stay in the west wing here?"
"No need, Mom. We can pack up pretty quickly. Let's go over there before it gets dark."
Xu Gang said, "I'll call you for dinner later."
"good."
In fact, there is nothing to clean up. The household robot that Xiao Jin bought will clean the house on time and even prepare the four-piece bedding. All they have to do is clear the garbage.
As long as Jin Zichu was there, she wouldn't have to do anything.
I don’t know what was going on in her mind, but when she came back this time, Xu Manman subconsciously chose the courtyard farthest away from the Xu family’s courtyard.
Normally, this yard was considered the most remote yard in their family. Even Xu Manman herself, who had lived here for so many years, rarely went there.
The Xu family doesn’t know about it for the time being, but they will know after two days. As for what they think, Xu Manman can’t care for the time being.
With the intention of repairing the relationship with her daughter, Chen Meiyu cooked dinner herself tonight and prepared a table full of local dishes that her daughter used to like.
Braised pork with fermented bean curd, sweet and sour spare ribs, pickled pork with preserved vegetables, stir-fried pork with pickled cabbage, stir-fried shrimp, fried eel shreds, braised wild rice stem and king oyster mushrooms, stir-fried shiitake mushrooms with Shanghai greens, and borscht.
Xu Gang invited everyone to start eating, "Manman, eat more. Your mother knew you were coming back today, so she ran to the market early this morning and was busy all day."
"Thank you, Mom. You've worked hard today."
These words made Chen Meiyu almost cry. "It's not hard to cook for you. Eat more." She picked up the serving chopsticks and kept picking up food for her daughter and son-in-law.
For a time, everyone thought that the matter was over.
Because I spent the Spring Festival away from home, school had already started when I came back, but at least I could catch the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.
Everyone gathered together to have a small reunion dinner that day. As the head of the family, Xu Lei specially praised Xu Manman and Jin Zichu.
"You completed this mission very successfully. The details of the mission have been submitted to the report. You have also been commended for your support. I hope you will continue to work hard and contribute to the development of the country and the future of China."
Xu Manman laughed dryly while holding her drink cup. Her uncle must have drunk too much today, and he put such a big blame on her right away.
She doesn't mind doing good things and supporting others when she is able.
But the feeling of doing it voluntarily and being pushed to do it is completely different, okay?
So she said nothing and just drank the rest of the drink in her glass.
Xu Lei raised his eyebrows. They were both foxes with a thousand-year history. How could he not guess what his niece was thinking?
However, being in this position, he still has to talk about some morality. As for what to do specifically, that depends on the situation. He is not an uncivilized old stubborn man.
Throughout the first half of the year, everyone's life seemed to be no different from before, and they had more money and lived more comfortably.
However, my aunt Ye Rong has not been to Beijing once since the New Year, and has never called Xu Manman. I heard from Chen Ming that she is thinking of bringing Chenchen back to Hai City during the summer vacation.
