Chapter 565 The Early-Death Bystander in the Reborn Mother-in-Law Novel (33)
"Hehe, of course! Look at my looks, and his dad's looks too. How could they not be good-looking? Xiao Jun and Xiao Dang didn't take after you, they took after my brother-in-law."
"Oh, he ruined my life!"
"By the way, Sister Zhang, where are you staying this time you're back?"
"Stay at his place, where else can we stay?"
"Will you be comfortable staying here? If not, come stay with me for a few days. Look, I have plenty of empty rooms, it won't be a problem."
"Forget it, I won't be staying for more than a few days. I'll just make do and bear with it."
"Alright, then you can do whatever you want. Anyway, you're always welcome here."
“I know that.”
At noon, Jiang Yue invited Sister Zhang to stay for lunch. She cooked a lot of delicious food and even bought a roast duck to carve herself. After the meal, Sister Zhang said that she could no longer eat the food she cooked herself.
After chatting for a while in the afternoon, Sister Zhang was about to leave. Jiang Yue was a little reluctant to see her off, as she didn't know when they would meet again. In the end, she asked the driver to take her home.
After everyone left, Jiang Yue was a little down, but fortunately she was good at regulating her emotions. The next day, Bai Ze left early in the morning and went to the Overseas Chinese Building. A friend from Hong Kong was coming over today and brought a female puppet with him. He was going to pick her up.
Two or three days later, Sister Zhang was going back home. Jiang Yue went to see her off. After seeing her off, she went back to her father's place. Jiang Yue hadn't been back for a while, and her children had become left-behind children.
Jiang's mother couldn't stay at Jiang Yue's house forever. Considering this, Jiang Yue brought back a female puppet nanny who was presented to the outside world as someone from Bai Ze's Hong Kong branch. This would give Jiang's mother a break and allow her to rest for a while.
Jiang Yue had just gotten home when a sandstorm started, making it impossible to go out. The yard also needed to be cleaned tomorrow. It was a good thing there was a puppet in such a big place, otherwise Jiang Yue wouldn't want to live there anymore.
By April, Jiang Yue will be returning to work soon. Her maternity leave is almost over, and she's currently adjusting her figure. It's best to gain a little weight after giving birth and then gradually lose weight.
The child has a puppet to keep her company. After Jiang Yue leaves, she can transform into Jiang Yue's appearance. The child is too young to understand and won't be able to tell the difference, thus saving her from crying loudly.
In fact, Jiang Yue had considered changing jobs or transferring to a job closer to home, but there were no recycling stations nearby, and the recycling stations were quite a distance from the city center. Actually, some companies had invited Jiang Yue, such as the Micro Motor Factory, but they were currently on contract, and Jiang's parents disagreed. In addition, Jiang Yue was pregnant last year, and the workload was too heavy, so she declined.
On her first day back to work, Bai Ze drove her there early in the morning. Fortunately, Jiang Yue wasn't breastfeeding; her baby was fed formula, unlike her sister-in-law who had to go home to feed her baby at lunchtime.
They missed seeing their dining buddies after more than two months. They asked Jiang Yue why she didn't bring her child, as they wanted to see what the child looked like.
"The child is too young, let's wait until he/she is a little older."
I went to the cafeteria for lunch. Although the food wasn't as good as Jiang Yue's, I got used to it after a while. After lunch, I started to slack off in the afternoon. There are many capable people in the accounting department now, so there won't be any backlog of work waiting for Jiang Yue to do.
Bai Ze picked her up after get off work in the afternoon. They stopped by her parents' house for a visit and had dinner there before going home. When they got home, the child was already asleep. She missed him a little after not seeing him all day, so she simply held him and went to sleep.
The next day, she was woken up by the baby's crying because he was hungry. Jiang Yue took the bottle from the puppet and fed him. After feeding him and having a meal, it was time to leave.
For the next few months, because the child was young, Jiang Yue maintained this routine until the Spring Festival of 1983. This year, there was a Spring Festival Gala, which was a novel thing for ordinary people.
"Mommy, Grandma, time to eat."
Jiang Yue was chatting with her mother and sister-in-law, preparing ingredients for lunch, when Xiao Lele ran over. Because Jiang Yue wanted him to be happy, she named him Lele.
"Oh, Lele, come here, let Grandma give you a hug."
When Jiang's mother saw Lele coming over, she wiped her hands and picked him up. She didn't want him to come over because she needed to use a knife to chop vegetables. As a result, Jiang's father and older brother went to look at the ecological fish tank that Jiang Yue had set up and forgot about the child.
The child inherited both of their genes, started speaking very early, and is much smarter than other children. Both Jiang's parents said they were lucky to have Jiang Yue, saying that she started speaking very early when she was little. While others were just uttering one or two words at a time, she was already speaking in sentences.
"Why isn't Lele watching the fish with Grandpa anymore?"
"Lele can't squeeze in, it's too tight!"
"Then let your mom make one separately for Lele in a few days, and you can raise your own little fish then, okay?"
Lele frowned and thought for a moment, then shook her head: "No, it's too high, I can't see."
Because they were going to watch the Spring Festival Gala today, they specially prepared their dinner in the evening. By 8 p.m., the reunion dinner was ready.
After the Spring Festival Gala started, everyone enjoyed watching it. Jiang Yue's whole family loved watching it, and Jiang Yue found it quite interesting as well.
After dinner, I insisted on watching the Spring Festival Gala before going to sleep. The children had already gone to bed, and the adults were a bit sleepy after watching it, so we turned off the TV and went to bed early. We were going to visit our grandparents tomorrow.
The next morning, Jiang Yue was still very sleepy. She helped Lele put on her clothes. By the time she came out with the child, everyone else had already packed up. They had sent their things over in advance this year, so they didn't have to bring anything today, which saved them trouble.
After arriving at Grandma's house, Lele didn't stay in Jiang Yue's arms for a moment. She was held by different people, because she was just too cute.
The number of people in Grandma's family increases year by year, but Grandpa and Grandma's energy is not as good as before. After all, they are over eighty years old. They have lived to this age thanks to the elixirs that Jiang Yue gave them. When the old folks are alive, the children can gather together. After the old folks pass away, the number of people will probably decrease year by year.
That evening, Jiang's father asked his grandparents if they wanted to go to the city to stay for a few days, since Jiang Yue was no longer living at home and a room had become available. In the past, when they came to visit, there was nowhere for them to stay, and they would have to go back overnight.
Grandpa and Grandma refused, saying that at their age, nowhere is as comfortable as home. Besides, in the past two years, Dad Jiang has been less busy than before as he is about to retire, and he comes home more often. Occasionally, he asks Bai Ze to drive him back to visit. Before leaving, Dad Jiang told his second uncle to remember to call him if anything happens.
After having breakfast early on the second day of the Lunar New Year, the family returned to the city. They then went to the maternal grandparents' house for lunch and then went home. Jiang's mother also chose to go back to her own home, as she couldn't stay with Jiang Yue every day.
