Ma Lili felt a little embarrassed when she saw Lu Jiaxin. After all, Jiaxin was just a child, and she felt that she was taking advantage of her by coming to eat. But before she could say anything, Xiaofeng rushed over and hugged Lu Jiaxin, calling her "little aunt" sweetly.

Lu Jiaxin likes children very much. After her parents remarried, they each had another child. Because she felt that neither place was her home, she rarely went back. She carried Xiaofeng to the kitchen to wash her hands, and when everything was served, she gave each of the two children one of the two chicken legs that she had specially left.

Ma Lili hurriedly stopped him and said, "Jia Xin, what are you doing? You can eat the chicken leg by yourself. It's good enough to have chicken meat and chicken soup."

In fact, Ma Lili used to buy snacks for her children from time to time. Ma's mother was reluctant to buy meat and vegetables, so she would buy meat or chicken and duck every week. But since her nephew Yan Xiaopang moved in, she has never bought snacks or meat again.

Lu Jiaxin smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, you forgot that I have liked eating chicken wings since I was a child, and I don't like eating chicken legs."

Chicken legs have a lot of meat but the meat is tough, she really doesn't like it. It's strange to say that the original body not only has the same name and looks as her, but also has similar preferences. Sometimes she even wonders if her previous life was just a dream.

Ma Lili immediately asked the two children to thank her.

Qiangqiang thanked Xiaofeng and then buried his head in eating the chicken legs. Since the fat boy moved in, they only had chicken to eat during festivals, but they didn't get any chicken legs.

Ordinary people don't have any rules about not talking while eating or sleeping. Lu Jiaxin and Ma Lili talked about department stores, and then under her deliberate guidance, they talked about clothes, shoes and socks.

Ma Lili said: "There are a lot of clothes and shoes coming from Hong Kong now, and those things are fashionable and cheap, so the business in the mall is not as good as before. Now, only skin care products and large electrical appliances are selling well."

Because these things are not yet popular, and the quality of things outside varies, many people still go to department stores to buy them. Although business is not as good as before, Ma Lili is a formal employee and her salary is paid by the government, so she is not worried.

Lu Jiaxin deliberately said, "I am weak and afraid of the cold now, so I want to buy a pair of thick leather shoes. I didn't expect that after walking around Xiushui Street with Xue Mao, I couldn't buy any waterproof and fashionable thick leather shoes."

Ma Lili smiled and said, "You have such high standards, it's normal that you can't buy what you like. But it's okay, the department store will get several batches of winter shoes before winter every year, and you will definitely be able to find shoes that satisfy you."

"Are they waterproof and fashionable thick cotton leather shoes?"

Ma Lili thought of her high standards, paused and said, "There are thick cotton leather shoes, but the styles may not be that fashionable."

Lu Jiaxin continued to ask: "Fifth sister-in-law, I remember the winter shoes sold in the department store last year cost one hundred and seventy or eighty yuan a pair."

In fact, the winter shoes sold in the department store are quite nice for ordinary people, but Lu Jiaxin still thinks they are tacky. But such shoes cost 170 or 80 yuan, which she thinks is too expensive. Of course, these shoes were not originally prepared for ordinary citizens.

Ma Lili smiled and said, "Yes, they are more expensive, but these leather shoes are of good quality and durable. I'll save two pairs for you when the mall restocks them."

Uncle San asked her husband to send crabs over at noon, and she knew that his anger had subsided. She knew that they would not really fall out, but it was unexpected that Lu Hongjun compromised so quickly. So he left her two pairs of winter shoes, and she could just mention it when the time came.

Lu Jiaxin shook her head and said, "No, those shoes are too expensive for me to afford. Fifth brother, please help me and Xue Mao buy a few pairs of winter shoes from your factory."

Ma Lili immediately stopped him and said, "How can that be possible? The shoes your brother's factory produces are all cotton shoes, they are not waterproof and they don't look good."

The cotton shoes produced by the shoe factory are very warm, but you can’t wear them outside in the winter when it snows. They will get wet once you go outside, which is very inconvenient.

Lu Jiaxin said, "It's okay, you can wear rain boots when you go out. I don't have much money right now, so I have to buy something practical."

Ma Lili took the opportunity to persuade him, "Jia Xin, don't be angry with your father, otherwise that woman will get the upper hand. Listen to your sister-in-law and be submissive. It's not shameful to be submissive to your own father."

Lu Jiaxin smiled and changed the subject: "Sister-in-law, Qiangqiang and Xiaofeng haven't grown up much recently, so we still have to give the child something good to eat."

Speaking of this, Ma Lili's mood suddenly became bad: "I am asking someone to find a house. If I find one I like, I won't be able to move out. I will compensate them well then."

In fact, there are many reasons why she didn't move out. One is that she didn't have enough money; the second is that she had to go to work and couldn't pick up her child from kindergarten on time; the third is that she was angry.

Lu Jiaxin advised: "Fifth sister-in-law, this incident made me realize one thing, it is useless to rely on anyone, in the end you still have to rely on yourself."

Ma Lili understood what she meant. She smiled bitterly and said, "Xinxin, you are still young and don't understand. This matter is not as simple as you think."

Thinking that Lu Jiaxin is now mature and sensible, she expressed her concerns: "My sister said that she would adopt her youngest son back to her parents' home, but it has not been implemented yet. If I move out with your fifth brother, my sister will definitely move back with her husband and children. If they regret not adopting the son, it will be difficult to get them to move out."

There is an old saying that goes, it is easier to invite a god than to send him away. And there is another concern that she has not mentioned. Her brother-in-law is insidious. He got the house and her parents' savings. When they get sick, he will definitely abandon them. At that time, it may be her own problem. Now that her husband has been disappointed by his parents, he will definitely not be willing to support them in their old age. She is still in a dilemma. So she wants her to move out. First, the fat boy changes his surname and is registered under his parents' household registration. Second, she needs to sign a pension agreement.

Lu Jiaxin knew that the couple must have their own considerations for not moving out, but she still reminded them: "That woman brought Zhao Siyi in. After I found out that she had bad intentions, I was terrified all day and often had nightmares that my father didn't want me anymore. So every time I had a conflict with them, my father favored them, and I endured it because I was afraid that he would not want me."

"Fifth sister-in-law, based on my own experience, I think children should live in a relaxed environment, otherwise they will be easily traumatized."

I thought that since the fat kid moved in, his mother said that the two kids had grown up. But they were not grown up, they were afraid of being scolded, beaten, and kicked out.

The more she thought about it, the sadder Ma Lili felt.

Lu Jiajie had wanted to move out a long time ago, even if it was to rent a house, it would be better now, but Ma Lili had always disagreed. Now that she was a little relentless, how could he miss the opportunity? He said, "Wife, I think Xinxin is right. We should move out as soon as possible. Even if life is a little harder, it is better than having to sneak around to buy good food for the children now."

Ma Lili looked at the two children who were unwilling to stop eating with their mouths full of oil, and said in silence: "I will consider it."
