The houses in the town are better, usually made of mud and bricks.
The Huo family's house is a newly built red brick house, which is so rare that people passing by would look at it with envy, hoping that they could build such a house one day.
If a young man has a house like this, it will be more effective than any dowry when he is discussing marriage with a girl.
In a room on the second floor, Jiang Meilan stood at the door, looking at the little boy trying on clothes in front of the mirror with amusement and helplessness, and couldn't help but say, "Son, you've been trying on clothes for an hour, and you haven't tried enough?"
The bed is now piled with clothes. Is he going to take out all of them to try on?
He wanted to go to Fubao's full moon banquet so much that when she mentioned it during dinner, he ran up to try on clothes after he finished eating.
In fact, I just casually said it a few days ago that I wanted Fubao to be my daughter-in-law, but I didn’t expect that this little guy actually took it seriously!
Jiang Meilan seriously doubted whether he understood what the term "daughter-in-law" meant.
"No." Huo Jinxi shook his head, tugged at the small shirt on his body, frowned maturely and said, "Mom, take me to buy a new set now. These are not new."
"Don't you see what time it is? Where can I buy you a new set? The one you're wearing now is really nice!"
"Really? You can't lie to me."
Jiang Meilan laughed, "Why would I lie to you?"
Huo Jinxi stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself for a while. He was still not satisfied. He turned around and picked up another set of clothes on the bed. "This one is not good-looking enough. I'd rather have this one."
Jiang Meilan, "..."
She really felt that her son had become a different person. Before, he was introverted and didn't like to talk, and needed someone to take care of him for everything. Now, he has his own opinions and speaks in a logical and logical way, just like an adult.
She always felt it was weird, but as long as her son was fine and appeared in front of her alive, it was fine!
…
The next morning, Jiang Meilan took Huo Jinxi and a bunch of carefully prepared gifts to the Shen family.
The two chefs hired by Old Lady Shen arrived before dawn and helped prepare the wine and food. When you approached the Shen family's house, you could see the yard filled with tables and chairs, and you could also smell the fragrance of food.
The whole family was very happy today. Fubao woke up early and Lin Xiujuan put on the clothes he tried on last night. Then she gently put him in the cradle and said softly, "Fubao, mommy is going to help outside. Be good and don't cry."
Fubao responded with a babyish "Eagle".
Lin Xiujuan's heart melted. She bent down and kissed her little face, then she went out reluctantly.
Shen Jianlin, Old Lady Shen, and the two cooks were all busy in the kitchen, and the four boys were helping to wash and pick vegetables. When Lin Xiujuan came in, she asked, "Mom, Jianlin, is there anything I can help you with?"
"No, no, you just take care of Fubao!" Old Mrs. Shen frowned and looked at her, "I'm telling you, how can you leave Fubao alone in the inner room without anyone watching over him?"
Lin Xiujuan smiled and said, "It's okay. Fubao is in the cradle and is very well behaved. There are so many dishes. I have to help."
"No! You haven't finished your confinement yet, you can't touch cold water and you can't overwork! Go back to the inner room, you have nothing to do here!" Old Mrs. Shen said with a serious look on her face.
