Chapter 281: Not Knowing How to Treat Guests (Page 1/2)
Seeing that the matter was almost settled, Zhao Hongmei stopped disturbing Xiao Ya from cooking and went into the house to find her mother-in-law and Ling Fei.
When Old Lady Ye saw her daughter-in-law coming over, she quickly asked her to look at Ling Fei, "Hongmei, come and see if the baby in Feifei's belly is a boy or a girl."
"Mom, if Feifei is pregnant, I can guess a thing or two by looking at the shape of the pregnant woman.
She is pregnant with two babies, and her belly is as big as a basket. I don’t know whether it is a boy or a girl. We will know after the baby is born.”
Ling Fei asked Zhao Hongmei: "Aunt, do you think I'm pregnant with two sons?"
Zhao Hongmei pulled Ling Fei to sit down, put her hand inside her clothes and felt around, saying, "This belly isn't tight or hard, maybe it's two girls."
Ling Fei's face suddenly fell, "Aunt, you are kidding, what should I do if it really is two daughters?"
Old Madam Ye glared at Zhao Hongmei and said, "Hongmei, the baby hasn't been born yet. Don't make jokes and make Feifei worry."
"Mom, I'm just giving Feifei a heads-up so she can have a better idea. I don't have x-ray vision, I'm just guessing. No matter what she's pregnant with, she needs to prepare some clothes for both boys and girls."
Old Mrs. Ye nodded in agreement. "Fei Fei, you're pregnant with two children, so you'll need to prepare a lot of clothes and diapers. Didn't your sister-in-law give birth to two sons? You can ask her for some old clothes."
"Grandma, my sister-in-law and her family used to live on an island where the temperature was so high that Huo Yining and Huo Yian's summer clothes were all covered in yellow saliva stains.
The coats and sweaters I wear now were all bought in Beijing. My sister-in-law gave me some cotton and fabric back last time, but my mother-in-law hasn't made any for me yet.
During this time, she just happened to help the two of them finish their winter cotton-padded jackets. However, the sewing machine has been moved to the new house, so her mother-in-law has to come over when she wants to make clothes.
Zhao Hongmei looked at the sewing machine piled in the corner and said, "Fei Fei, I bought you this sewing machine because I want you to learn how to sew so that you can make clothes for your own children in the future.
If you do a good job, people outside will ask you to help them. With this skill, you can earn some living expenses every month."
Zhao Hongmei always felt that if Ling Fei didn't know anything, she would be despised by her man one day. If she had a skill, she would be able to support herself even if she left her man one day.
Her father-in-law had arranged for her to join the art troupe because he hoped she would have a job and be self-sufficient in the future.
Unfortunately, she did not know the seriousness of her actions and kicked Bai, causing her to have a miscarriage and eventually lose her job.
She lost her job and her reputation. If the art troupe leader had not considered her father-in-law's face, she might not only have been given a serious warning, but also had to attend a criticism meeting and let her comrades come together to criticize her.
Later, when her father-in-law saw that she had lost her job and could not return to the company for the next two years, he simply introduced her to a man for marriage.
She married into such a good family. Her parents-in-law were easy to talk to, her sister-in-law was generous, and her brother-in-law was not nosy. They didn't know that Ling Fei had become stupid because of her pregnancy.
Suddenly he wanted to move out. Now he has made his parents-in-law unhappy. So he can’t move back, right?
When Ling Fei heard what her aunt said, she said disapprovingly, "Aunt, I'm pregnant now and don't have time to learn how to operate a sewing machine. I'll learn it when the child is two or three years old!"
Besides, who would hire a novice to help make clothes? If they want to find someone, they would rather find an experienced tailor. Besides, the salary at Qingyan’s house is high, more than 100 yuan a month.

He has no problem supporting me and my two children, and we have saved a lot of money."
Since Ling Fei said so, what else could Zhao Hongmei say? She could only praise her for being lucky enough to find a good man.
When the food was served, Huo Qingyan and Huo Junshan also came back. Now only Lin Man, Huo Qingci and Huo Qinghuan had not arrived.
Huo Yining looked at the food on the table, patted his stomach and said to Huo Li: "Grandpa, I'm hungry and want to eat some meat."
Seeing that his great-grandson was hungry, Huo Li told Xiao Ya, "Xiao Ya, serve some food first and let Ningning and Anan eat first."
At this moment, Ling Fei also stood up and said, "Grandpa, since everyone is hungry, let's not wait any longer and eat!"
As she spoke, she touched her belly with her hand, a look of grievance on her face.
Hearing this, Huo Li's face instantly turned gloomy.
He thought to himself, what kind of talk is this?
How can a host complain of hunger before the guests even arrive? Isn't that rude?
So he looked at Ling Fei coldly and did not respond to her.
Old Master Ye quickly smiled apologetically: "Old Huo, my Feifei is young and naive, please don't mind."
Then he said to Ling Fei, "Fei Fei, if you're hungry, you can eat something with the children first to fill your stomach."
Old Madam Ye glared at her old man and explained, "Fei Fei, wait until your eldest brother and sister-in-law come back before having dinner."
Zhao Hongmei and Ye Cheng also agreed: "Yes, yes, let's wait until everyone arrives before starting dinner."
They knew that if they started eating now, the Huo family would definitely think that they had not taught Ling Fei well.
Feifei is a very slow-witted child. She has no idea about the ways of the world or how to treat guests.
Huo Junshan and Xiao Ya looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
They felt that Ling Fei was a little ignorant. Today was a good day and the elders of the Ye family were all here, so they were embarrassed to blame her directly.
About ten minutes later, Xiao Ya finished feeding her grandson Huo Yian. Huo Yining was still eating. Huo Qingci came in holding a wooden box, along with Lin Man and Huo Qinghuan.
Huo Qingci handed the wooden box to Huo Qingyan and said, "Congratulations on moving into a new house. This is a housewarming gift that your sister-in-law and I specially selected for you."
Huo Qingyan asked curiously, "Brother, what's in this? Why is it so heavy?"
Huo Qingci smiled and said, "You'll know when you open it."
Huo Qingyan placed the wooden box on the coffee table and opened it, exclaiming, "It turns out to be tableware! This set of tableware is really beautiful. It must have cost a lot of money, right?"
One, two, three, four, five… There are ten rice bowls, four plates, two soup bowls, a teapot, ten pairs of chopsticks, ten spoons, and two sets of knives and forks.”
Ling Fei came over and looked at the exquisite tableware in the wooden box with great satisfaction. She walked up to Lin Man and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother and sister-in-law, for the housewarming gift."
Most of the tableware in later generations was made on production lines. Although it looked exquisite, it was really not expensive.
This set of tableware was priced at 199 in the Space Supermarket, which is equivalent to three or four yuan now. She didn't know how the price was calculated, but it was not expensive anyway.
Lin Man smiled and said, "No need to thank me. I guess everyone must be waiting impatiently. Let's eat first!"
