"I also followed Wanyue's advice and cut out some small portraits and such. Some people even order them, which is quite expensive. There are also people who want to learn my craft. I told them that if they wanted to learn, they could pay five hundred yuan, and then that person ran away." Sister-in-law Lu laughed heartily.
Qiao Wanyue gave her sister-in-law a thumbs up.
The three women chatted about recent events, while Lu Yunqi repaired the wall in the yard. He couldn't stay idle, didn't like chatting, and disliked going to the training ground to watch others train. He preferred to sew and mend things himself.
They were used to it.
That evening, Sister-in-law Lu and Lu Xingxing stayed behind.
There are three rooms in total, and temporary beds were prepared in advance, so it wasn't crowded.
the next day.
Early in the morning, Sister-in-law Lu and Lu Xingxing started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner.
Lu Yunzhou and Lu Yunqi assisted.
Qiao Wanyue prepared a hearty dish.
The group worked together very well.
The two children then ran off to play.
"Wanyue, your cooking skills are getting better and better." A plate of glistening dumplings was served, and Sister-in-law Lu's eyes lit up. She had never seen such beautiful dumplings before. How were they made?!
Qiao Wanyue reheated the pot, put in the coarse salt she had prepared in advance, and waited for it to heat up before putting the shrimp in.
Before long, the aroma of food drifted out of the kitchen and into the yard.
The table was set up, but it was cold outside, so we put it inside.
"Did you call Mom?" Sister-in-law Lu asked.
She still misses her mother-in-law very much.
Lu Yunqi nodded. "I called earlier, but the person who answered said Mom had already told us that she's at Uncle Mantang's house today and that we should eat well and not worry about her." He hadn't forgotten his mother either.
Sister-in-law Lu nodded, "Send some money back home."
"Sent."
Sister-in-law Lu nodded.
She still has deep feelings for her mother-in-law. She never experienced warmth from her own mother, only her mother-in-law gave her care, and she had long regarded her mother-in-law as her own mother.
"What kind of thing?" She suddenly noticed that the yard was different from when she came before. Some branches were planted along the wall, which looked like climbing vines or grapes. Even the ground had been turned over and covered with a plastic film.
Qiao Wanyue came out to wash her hands and, upon hearing this, explained, "The grapes and some rose stems might bloom next spring." She had dug up mature roses, and the grapes were also from seedlings.
"That's great! I'll go to the market and buy some seedlings then. The house feels a bit bare and something's missing." Sister-in-law Lu was used to the rural courtyard, and suddenly living in a bare traditional courtyard house was a bit of a shock.
Lu Yunqi silently kept his wife's words in mind.
Before long, Panpan returned, covering her face, and Lu Hui also looked disheveled.
The two little ones were covered in mud.
"What's wrong?" Lu Xingxing was the first to notice the difference.
He was fine when he went out, but came back with several slap marks on his face.
Panpan sniffed. "Someone bullied me and wanted my candy. I didn't give it to him, so he pushed me and cursed at me. When my little brother Xiaohui saw me fall, he fought with him. The guy cried, and his parents came over angrily and slapped me. Xiaohui pushed the kid into the latrine. His parents wanted to beat us to death, so we ran back."
Lu Xingxing immediately rolled up her sleeves.
Sister-in-law Lu held her son protectively in her arms and bowed her head, saying, "Well done."
