Hongling's mother returned to Wanglou Brigade to give holiday gifts to her parents, brother and sister-in-law, and went to visit Feng Qingxue's home. Feng Qingxue only then learned what had happened after she left, and felt angry and ashamed of her brother and sister-in-law's behavior.

"Your second aunt is not someone who is easy to bully. She didn't suffer any loss."

Feng Qingxue thought about the body shapes of her second aunt and two sisters-in-law and nodded slightly, but she was still worried that her second aunt might not be strong enough due to her age.

How could Hongling's mother not see what Feng Qingxue was thinking? She smiled immediately and began to envy Second Aunt Feng and her husband. Although they didn't have a daughter, Feng Qingxue was no different from their own daughter. She was better than a real daughter and could be the head of the family. She could give whatever gifts she wanted and no one would object. Unlike her own Hongling, she was always bullied in her husband's family. She didn't even come to bring any holiday gifts this year. It was really infuriating.

Life was hard for everyone, with no money or supplies, so they could just bring half a pound of dried sweet potatoes as a gift and take them back! But the old woman in my daughter's family was in charge of all the food, and she didn't give any of it to my daughter to visit relatives.

"Auntie, eat melon seeds!"

Feng Qingxue saw that her expression was changing constantly and didn't know what she was thinking, so she quickly pushed the plate of melon seeds in front of her.

Hong Ling Niang looked down and said, "Where did the melon seeds come from? They are all plump."

Feng Qingxue smiled and said, "My cousin sent it to me, my cousin Wang Jiao. My uncle's family grows some sunflowers in their own plot every year and collects some sunflower seeds. My cousin fried them and they taste good."

The reason why Wang Zhengguo and his wife planted sunflowers was very simple: Wang Jiao loved to eat sunflower seeds.

So, no matter how the old couple scolded their daughter, they still loved her very much in their hearts. Every year, half a sack of sunflower seeds harvested was basically eaten by Wang Jiao, and this autumn they will be able to harvest more than half a sack again.

Feng Qingxue once expressed surprise at the fact that several of her cousins-in-law were willing to roast melon seeds.

Do you know how Wang Jiao answered?

She rolled her eyes and said, "I can't bear to give it to my sister-in-law, so how can I bear to give it to my nephews and nieces? My nephews and nieces are young, how much can they eat? Only a limited two handfuls. Giving it to my nephews and nieces makes me happier as a mother than eating it myself! Of course they are willing to fry the melon seeds for me! Besides, it's not like they didn't eat any when I was frying the melon seeds, nor did they leave any."

When she heard that the melon seeds were sent by Wang Jiao, Hongling's mother's eyes were indescribable. She exclaimed: "The melon seeds sent by your cousin? Then I must try them." She often heard her family say that Wang Jiao was stingy, but she didn't expect that she was generous to Feng Qingxue.

Feng Qingxue smiled immediately, "My cousin is a very nice person. She has been making shoes for her cousin's husband and knitting sweaters for herself recently."

Hong Lingniang couldn't believe that the Wang Jiao she knew and the Wang Jiao Feng Qingxue was talking about were the same person.

"I'm getting married soon, so of course things will be different from before."

Hong Lingniang's response was to clap her hands and look around at the furniture in the room. Not to mention the complete sets of furniture, there were also portraits and plaster statues of leaders, which were spotlessly clean. On both sides of the portraits were hung strings of red peppers, which made the room look particularly beautiful. She couldn't help but say enviously, "Xiaoxue, I often tell your second aunt that you are blessed. Look how good your life is!"

Feng Qingxue nodded and smiled: "Yes, I also feel that I am blessed. The greatest blessing is meeting Lu Jiang."

"Speaking of your boyfriend, I heard he's back in the army. So you guys won't be able to be together for the Mid-Autumn Festival this year?"

"He is a soldier, so of course he has to take care of everyone first. Our little family is his support. Even when he is not here, we still celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, hoping that one day, we can have a real reunion festival."
