"I wonder if Da Meizi's fairy-like daughter will leave when she comes back."
"No rush, we might find out when we finish work."
"To be honest, Jiaojiao is spoiled by Dameizi and is not likable at all, but I feel happy just looking at her own daughter."
"Are you blinded by that girl?"
"Ha ha……"
The women, including Zhu Guihua, who were walking together, all burst into laughter.
...
Upon learning from Song Xiaoshuan that his biological daughter had returned to the village, Song Sanhe, the brigade accountant, paused briefly. The next moment, he locked the ledger he was looking at back in the drawer and got up to go home.
"Mom, there are fruit candies in the bag. Take some out for everyone to sweeten their mouths."
Upon entering a large courtyard, Song Lan was invited by Li Jumei to sit on a bamboo chair in the main room to rest. At this time, the children who had followed her all the way from the village entrance to this house, along with the aunts and grandmothers who had come to see her, all gathered at the entrance of the main room. To be honest, Song Lan was a little overwhelmed by their smiling faces and the curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes.
Although she wasn't afraid of being stared at, she still felt somewhat uncomfortable being looked at like that.
So she turned her gaze to Li Jumei and said something.
The travel bag had just been carried into the main room by Song Qinghui, and of course, the large and small bags hanging on the handlebars were also carried in by Song Qinghui.
"Okay, Mom will listen to you!"
Li Jumei was overjoyed that her daughter didn't look down on their family and was able to come back today. Moreover, she was not a stingy person to begin with, so upon hearing Song Lan's words, she headed towards the room where she and Song Sanhe lived.
Seeing this, Song Lan couldn't help but speak up: "Mom, the fruit candies are in the bag!"
"Mom knows."
Li Jumei responded: "I bought some fruit candies at the supply and marketing cooperative earlier, and they're still in the cabinet. I just took them out."
"Mom, please give everyone the candy I bought. After all, this is my first time back in the village. We'll be seeing each other often in the future, and if you eat the candy I bought, you'll remember me."
Getting up, Song Lan walked to the square table against the wall, unzipped her bag, took out a large bag of fruit candies weighing about three or four pounds, and casually stuffed it into Li Jumei's hand: "Mom and I will distribute them to everyone."
"good!"
Li Jumei's eyes welled up with tears, and she knew that her daughter was making her proud!
Whether adults or children, almost everyone accepted five candies.
Seeing villagers and children gathered at the gate, Li Jumei, after distributing candy in the yard, carried a bag of candy to the gate and said with a big smile, "These fruit candies were bought by my Lanlan. Today, my big plum is happy, so everyone come and have a sweet treat."
When Song Sanhe reached the vicinity of his home, he saw his wife happily handing out candy to everyone she saw. He stopped, his eyes flickered slightly, and decided not to tell Li Jumei what he wanted to say.
Since we've gotten through the last twenty years like this, let's just leave it at that!
The villagers who came to Li Jumei and Song Sanhe's house to watch, after receiving fruit candies from Li Jumei, all praised Li Jumei and Song Sanhe for having such a wonderful daughter, saying that the couple would enjoy a happy life in the future, and praising Song Lan in every way. In short, Li Jumei's mouth never stopped smiling.
After the villagers and children who had been watching left, Li Jumei noticed that Song Sanhe was standing not far from the courtyard gate, not moving an inch. She couldn't help but frown and ask, "What are you trying to do by standing there like that?"
"I'm just afraid of bothering you when you're handing out candy to everyone."
Song Sanhe put on a forced smile.
To be honest, he was henpecked, and everyone in Shisong Village knew it.
It wasn't that Song Sanhe was weak-willed and easily manipulated by Li Jumei; rather, it was that Song Sanhe doted on his wife and was willing to listen to her in matters at home.
Okay, I have to mention this again: don't let Song Sanhe's rural background fool you, his appearance and demeanor are unlike anything a country bumpkin could have.
First of all, he was handsome and fair-skinned from a young age, the most handsome among his brothers, and even more handsome than his only sister.
When he was young, Song Sanhe studied at the Song family's private school for several years. In just a few years, he developed the temperament of a scholar.
To the average person, he appears gentle and refined, like a young master raised in a wealthy family in the city.
Therefore, at home, not only his parents, but also his two older brothers and his only older sister all doted on Song Sanhe, the youngest brother.
When Song Sanhe came of age, his parents worried that he was too weak and would be bullied, so they arranged for him to marry the daughter of the Li family in the neighboring Erdaogou, namely Li Jumei.
They had specifically inquired and learned that the Li family doted on their daughter, and that Li Jumei was feisty and capable. Marrying such a daughter would surely bring them plenty of help from their brothers in the future.
Li Jumei's parents had four sons and one daughter. The four sons were the elder brothers. After their younger sister Li Jumei was born, they all patted their chests and promised their parents that they would treat their sister well for the rest of their lives.
In short, Li Jumei and Song Sanhe were both the apple of their respective families' eye before their marriage.
Because Li Jumei was beautiful and had a temperament that Song Sanhe liked, after their marriage, Song Sanhe never disagreed with his wife on any family matters.
At that moment, Song Sanhe walked up to Li Jumei and, seeing the bag of candy in her hand, extended his hand: "Are you tired? Let me carry it for you."
"No need, I'm not made of paper."
Li Jumei glared at Song Sanhe: "Shuanzi told you to hurry up and go home?"
"I rushed back as fast as I could, and I didn't linger in the office."
Walking beside Li Jumei, the couple entered the courtyard.
Now that only family members were left at home, Song Lan saw Song Sanhe and immediately called out "Dad," and then said, "It's wrong of me to only come back to the village to visit you and Mom now. If you're angry, just scold me a couple of times."
"He dares!"
Li Jumei glared at Song Sanhe and beckoned Song Lan to come into the main room and sit back down on the bamboo chair.
However, Song Lan walked to the square table and took out all the things she had brought.
"Dad, Mom, these two pieces of cloth, the gray one is for Dad to make clothes, and the navy blue one is for Mom to make clothes." The two pieces of cloth were wrapped in straw paper. Song Lan opened them and showed them to Li Jumei and Song Sanhe. Then she took out a bottle of face cream and a purple gauze scarf and said, "Mom, this is for you too."
"Your dad and I are already so happy that you're back. Why would we spend money on these things!"
Although she said that, Li Jumei felt very comforted, knowing that her daughter cared about her and her husband.
"These three pairs of liberation shoes are what I bought based on my guess of Dad's and my eldest and second brothers' shoe sizes. Dad, you and your second brother can try them on." Song Lan didn't see Song Qingbin at home, so she took two pairs of the three pairs of liberation shoes and handed them to Song Sanhe and Song Qinghui respectively.
"And mine?"
Song Qinghui grinned.
"Of course I have them. You're my second brother, and I brought gifts for everyone in the family when I went home." Song Lan said, then asked Li Jumei, "Why didn't I see my eldest brother and youngest brother?"
