Chapter 81: Childhood sweethearts’ comparison group 5
"Hey, Ahao, you are here with the whole family to celebrate your mother's birthday?" Aunt Wang on the third floor was strolling downstairs with her fat grandson in her arms and happened to run into the whole family.
"Yes, Auntie, today is my mother's 60th birthday." Li Hao answered with a smile, making faces to amuse the child in her arms.
"You are such a blessing, your grandson is so fair and tender, you have taken such good care of him!"
"Oh, Ah Hao, you are still so good at talking." Aunt Wang was so flattered that she couldn't close her mouth. "Go up quickly, I won't keep you any longer."
"Okay, ma'am, I'll go up first."
Watching their backs as they went upstairs, the old lady held her cheerful grandson in her arms and went to chat with her old sisters.
"It's very lively at Mr. Li's house on the second floor today. The eldest daughter, the second daughter and the youngest daughter all came back early in the morning." When their family was considered an extinct family, who could have imagined that the old couple would be enjoying themselves so well today.
"Of course not." Aunt Wang leaned over to talk, "I just ran into Ah Hao downstairs. A whole family, all gathered together. I was so jealous."
"Ahao is probably the girl who is having the worst life right now. She's still renting a house." Another old lady held her shoes in her hand and curled her lips.
"This girl refused to marry the man her parents introduced to her, but I heard that he is now running a company and making a lot of money!"
"Really? This girl has been stubborn since she was young. After choosing for so long, she actually found a man from another place whose parents died early. If she had listened to her parents, I don't know how happy she would be now!" Another gray-haired lady also came over to join in the fun.
"That's right."
"I think Ah Hao is living a good life now." Aunt Wang said something fair. "She has both a son and a daughter, and her husband is a down-to-earth and honest man."
············
On the second floor, Tian Lan welcomed her second daughter and her family into the house.
Ignoring her second daughter who made her worry, Tian Lan hugged He Yan and looked at her: "Hey, grandma's good girl, you have suffered a lot recently. Today, grandma will make you a delicious meal to make up for it."
"Mom, let my second sister and her family come in first. They're blocking the door and affecting the neighbors' corridor." A woman with a baby face, long hair, and a capable temperament came over. This was the original owner's third aunt.
He Yan, leaning in her grandmother's arms, sorted out the memories in her mind and couldn't help but be amazed. This third aunt was also a powerful person.
He was a rebellious child since childhood. After graduating from college, he attended classes for a few years but found it boring. In the end, he started his own factory from scratch and made a fortune.
She is carefree and decisive. Now the man is the homemaker and the woman is the outsider in their family, and she is the one who makes the decisions on all the important matters at home.
She only gave birth to a seven-year-old daughter, Dong Sicheng, and her mother-in-law did not dare to urge the birth of the baby, as she wanted to let her own son still depend on others for support.
"Third Aunt." "Third Aunt."
The brother and sister greeted each other politely.
"Yeah." Looking at the clear stupidity in her niece's eyes, Li Xin grinned. This good-looking appearance must have been bought with her brain.
"Second sister, second brother-in-law, please come in quickly." Why is my mother still in such a bad mood? My second sister has been married for many years, but she still leaves the couple outside.
Several children were playing in the living room, while Li and her sisters were sitting on the balcony, basking in the sun and chatting.
"Mom is really something. I told her to eat at the hotel, but she refused to do so and insisted on cooking by herself. She's even torturing herself on her 60th birthday." Li Xin couldn't help but complain while drinking hot tea.
Li Hao, who had just gone to the kitchen to help out but was criticized for being a nuisance, said: "That's right, the old lady is in a bad mood right now and she doesn't allow me to get involved."
Li Ke smiled and said, "It's rare for us to get together like this. Mom is very happy. She will definitely show off her skills."
"If you ask me, you shouldn't be so tired. You still have to clean up the dishes later." Li Xin looked at Li Hao and said, "Second sister, have you found a house? I have a friend who is a manager at Biluo Garden. He can get an insider price. See if you want to buy one."
When talking about this, Li Ke also looked at his second sister: "Yes, Ah Hao, your family hasn't saved enough money yet? If not, we can lend you some first."
My second sister still doesn’t have a fixed place to stay, which is really worrying.
"Yes, I think the location of that house is good. It's close to Wenjie and Yanzi's schools." So when she heard the news, she immediately thought of her second sister. The money was really not enough, so she could sponsor a little.
Facing the concerned looks from her sisters, Li Hao felt a lump in her throat. She did not regret marrying her own husband, but she felt ashamed and guilty for causing her family to worry about her.
"Okay, I'll go and take a look sometime." She choked up at the end.
Li Ke and Li Xin looked at each other and changed the topic tacitly.
Living room
"Brother, play building blocks with me." Dong Sicheng's eyes turned into crescents when he smiled, like a cute little kitten acting coquettishly.
He Wenjie was so moved by his sister that his face was bleeding. He held her soft hand and patiently helped her build the Barbie princess castle.
He Yan sat on the sofa with a slight awkwardness. After peeling the orange peel, she tore off the white fibers one by one.
On the other side of the sofa, Wang Junran was concentrating on solving a math problem, not even paying attention to other people.
While eating the sweet orange, He Yan looked left and right boredly, as if there was nothing she could insert.
So, as soon as she heard the call for dinner, she immediately jumped into the kitchen and followed her grandmother to help serve the dishes.
"Little greedy cat, taste it, is the braised pork bland?" Tian Lan scooped up a piece of the fragrant meat with a spatula, and the red sauce hanging on it was tempting.
He Yan gasped for air because of the scalding taste of the meat that had just come out of the pot. She was reluctant to spit out the meat. Wow, how could there be such delicious braised pork?
"Wow, grandma, you are biased!" Dong Sicheng followed the smell to the kitchen and looked at his cousin and grandmother in an accusing manner.
He Wenjie, who was following behind his younger sister, also stared at his elder sister, who was actually eating alone!
"Yes, grandma, I'm sad. Why don't we have anything to eat?" Wang Junran leaned against the glass door of the kitchen to join in the fun.
"Oh, oh, you little monkeys." Tian Lan, who was surrounded, couldn't stop laughing and quickly fed each of the three kids a mouthful of meat.
Hearing the noise in the kitchen, the three sisters on the balcony also stood in the living room to watch the excitement, ignoring their old mother's look for help.
Li Xuan, who was training his sons-in-law in the study, heard the laughter outside and could not help but come out to take a look. He happened to see his wife's embarrassing situation and his beard curled with joy.
The three sons-in-law behind him looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since retirement, Dad has loved to catch them and give them a lecture. I don't know if it's an occupational disease left over from being a head teacher for many years.
He Yan, who had gotten the upper hand first, quietly left the battle circle, smiling as she felt the warm family atmosphere.
Thinking of the miserable state of the original owner in the plot, I thought I would run into some terrible relatives today.
At this moment, she suddenly understood.
Well, it turns out that the original owner is the best in this sweet story of childhood sweethearts.
