When Xiuhua brought the canned fruit and snacks, she didn't go inside; instead, she knocked on the gate to the yard.
"Auntie, my sister-in-law asked me to bring these over."
After saying that, he glanced inside with some concern.
Xing Lanhua lifted the cloth covering the basket and was shocked to see what was inside.
Why did your sister-in-law ask you to send over such expensive things?
No, no, your older brother is drinking with your uncle right now!
These things are unnecessary; let your sister-in-law keep them for your children.
She quickly covered the basket with the cloth and stuffed it back into Xiuhua's arms.
These are things that some people in the countryside may never have seen in their entire lives.
She had gone to the county town with her husband and had seen it sold in the department store counters.
A jar of fruit like this costs several dollars!
"Auntie, there's still some at home!"
Besides, if you don't accept it, I'll send my older brother home and he won't be drinking here anymore.
Xiuhua shoved the basket back into Xing Lanhua's hands, then pretended to go inside.
Xing Lanhua was surprised that Xiuhua would say that, and she felt a mix of amusement and emotion.
Children from poor families mature early; my own youngest daughter is already 17, but she's still a bit immature.
Logically speaking, at this age, most families would already have arranged a marriage.
But she had already found several families for Xiao Huan, and every time she mentioned it, Xiao Huan refused to agree.
They say nice things, like they want to study and go to university.
Tan Xiaohuan was born from Xing Lanhua. Just by the way she sticks out her butt, you can tell what she's up to!
She clearly disliked the fact that the men she had found for her were all from the countryside, so she was unwilling.
Xing Lanhua felt somewhat helpless; after her youngest daughter went to school in town, her mind had become too big for her.
"Okay, then I'll accept it."
Xing Lanhua smiled and raised her hand to pat Xiuhua's head.
"Hey, Auntie, if my older brother gets drunk, come to my house and tell him not to cause trouble for you."
When Xiuhua saw Xing Lanhua accept the gifts, she immediately smiled shyly and said...
"Don't worry, I won't let your older brother drink too much."
Even if he gets drunk, it's alright. I just cleaned and dried the straw mat in the side room. He can lie on it for a while, and go back later when he's sober.
Xing Lanhua nodded and said.
She watched as Xiuhua waved goodbye to her and walked quite a distance before closing the door and turning back.
"Mom, what is this?"
Just as Xing Lanhua was about to take the things back into the house to put them away, she saw her youngest daughter behind her, staring at the basket in her hand with shining eyes.
Seeing her like this, and then thinking about how sensible Xiuhua was.
I'm so angry.
“This is something that Ning Jing had Xiu Hua deliver. It should be something your brother Fu brought back from the army.”
Xing Lanhua said irritably.
"Brother Fu? Wasn't he dead?"
Tan Xiaohuan slept at home all day today and didn't go out at all.
Upon hearing her mother's words, she exclaimed in surprise.
Upon hearing this, Xing Lanhua was so shocked that she almost dropped the basket she was holding.
He hurriedly stepped forward, covered his youngest daughter's mouth, and then craned his neck to look towards the living room.
Seeing that no one inside had heard, they covered Tan Xiaohuan's mouth and pulled her directly to the kitchen.
The kitchen is far from the living room, so even if you speak loudly, you probably won't be able to hear clearly.
"I'm telling you, you silly girl, how can you be so immature?"
"Your Brother Fu isn't dead, why are you so surprised?"
