In just over six months, some of the people at the educated youth settlement had gotten into trouble or left, and today only six of them are left sitting together.
When people from Wu and Yue are happy, they are in high spirits and drink a little too much, becoming much more talkative than usual.
“Ye Weiwei, I heard from Liu Xiangqian that this spot should have been yours. You fought for it for the village. And if it weren't for you, Zhao Mingzhe might have gotten it instead. I was just lucky…”
Ye Weiwei chuckled: "What's meant to be yours will be yours. Luck is also a form of ability. Besides, even if Zhao Mingzhe took the exam, he wouldn't be able to beat you."
She hasn't been idle lately; she's been keeping a close eye on Zhao Mingzhe and Lu Xiaolan.
Why do you think Zhao Mingzhe stopped interfering with the quota issue so easily?
Do you really think he's someone who gives up so easily?
It's all because he secretly took a test and did it in secret, but his score was much worse than Wu Yue's, so he was too ashamed to come out and make a scene!
Does having a pen in your pocket make you a genius?
hehe!
Wu Yue was comforted by Ye Weiwei's words and was so moved that she almost burst into tears.
Ye Weiwei is such a kind and beautiful person!
Because she had to go to the county town to see her second brother off in the afternoon, Ye Weiwei left without staying long after finishing her meal.
Everyone knew she had important matters to attend to, so no one tried to persuade her to stay.
Ye Weiwei went straight to the old house.
This noon, my mother-in-law, Liu Guilan, specially invited Ye Erge to have lunch at the old house to bid him farewell.
Before Ye Weiwei even reached the Huo family's old house, she saw her mother-in-law, Liu Guilan, looking out at the door. As soon as she saw her, Liu Guilan ran over to greet her.
"Weiwei, have you finished eating? Are you full? There's still some rice left for you in the pot at home, all your favorite dishes. Come back and eat some more."
Ye Weiwei held her mother-in-law's hand and felt that it was a little cold, obviously she had been waiting outside for a while. She said helplessly, "Mom, it's so cold, why are you still waiting outside? What if you catch a cold?"
Liu Guilan didn't care at all. As she pulled Ye Weiwei into the house, she said, "You've taken good care of my health. How could I catch a cold so easily? It's nothing, it's nothing!"
Su Xuemei watched the two people enter the house and said with a smile, "Weiwei, you're finally back! Your mother has been talking about you since she started cooking, and she's gone out to greet you eighteen times already."
Ye Weiwei said apologetically, "I should have come back earlier."
Liu Guilan replied, "Don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense. I just ate too much at noon to help with digestion. You rarely get together with them, so you should enjoy yourself."
Su Xuemei said with a bitter face, "Mom, you didn't say that before! You kept saying why Weiwei hadn't come back yet, and the food we left was getting cold. It won't taste good if we reheat it."
Liu Guilan glared at her eldest daughter-in-law, who was trying to sabotage her, and said irritably, "You talk too much! Can't I worry about Weiwei? She's carrying triplets! How can I not worry!"
Su Xuemei winked at Ye Weiwei: "Okay, okay! You can say whatever you want!"
Ye Weiwei watched them bicker with a smile.
As Su Xuemei spoke, her hands were also busy, taking out the food that she had saved for Ye Weiwei from the pot. "Weiwei, hurry up and eat some more. The chicken that Mom stewed today is really well done. I specially saved a big chicken leg for you."
Ye Weiwei hadn't eaten much at the educated youth settlement, and was still hungry. Without being polite, she thanked her mother-in-law and sister-in-law and sat down at the table to eat.
Liu Guilan and Su Xuemei watched from the side, their eyes looking at the same rare treasure, their satisfied and gratified smiles mirroring each other.
After finishing the big chicken leg, Ye Weiwei ate a bowl of pumpkin porridge, some vegetables, and half a steamed bun made from mixed flour. Only then was her stomach full.
Looking at the half-eaten steamed bun, Liu Guilan said, "Why did you only eat so little? I'll cook you a dish, and you can eat it with the steamed bun!"
Su Xuemei quickly said, "I'll do it. Let me make some stir-fried wood ear mushrooms with eggs. I have some soaked wood ear mushrooms, so it'll be quick to make..."
He then went to get the eggs.
Ye Weiwei quickly stopped her, "Mom, sister-in-law, I'm really full!"
Liu Guilan didn't believe it. "There are still three mouths in this belly. How can it eat so little?"
Ye Weiwei: "That's enough! I haven't even had a chance to eat any of these dishes!"
Seeing that Ye Weiwei didn't seem to be lying, Liu Guilan said, "Weiwei, your health isn't what it used to be. Please tell me what you like to eat and what you don't like to eat. Don't force yourself, okay?"
Ye Weiwei laughed and said, "I'm not the kind of person who would force myself! Besides, we're all family, why would I be so polite with you? That's just not my nature."
Su Xuemei and Liu Guilan then smiled, "That's how it should be."
Huo Xiao had already made arrangements with the convoy, and not long after Ye Weiwei finished eating, someone drove over to pick them up and take them directly to the county town.
This time, Little Star insisted on going along, and she wouldn't bother anyone else, just clinging to Huo Xiao's leg and refusing to let go.
Huo Xiao lifted one of his hands and put it on his shoulder. "You brat, now you know to come to me?"
Little Star giggled happily, "Uncle is the best!"
With just one sentence, Huo Xiao was completely appeased and had no temper left.
Ye Weiwei planned to make a quick trip to the hospital this time to catch up on any backlogged work.
Liu Guilan was worried about Ye Weiwei, but her second son was about to get married, and the family needed someone to help. So she could only ask Huo Xiao to take good care of Ye Weiwei's safety.
"Weiwei, the Lantern Festival will be when you get back from the hospital. What kind of glutinous rice balls do you like? I'll make them for you first."
Ye Weiwei looked at Huo Xiao. She wasn't picky at all; black sesame, peanut, jujube paste, red bean paste, and nuts were all fine with her.
Huo Xiao said, "Black sesame, my mother's black sesame glutinous rice balls are the most fragrant and delicious."
Ye Weiwei: "Then let's have black sesame."
Liu Guilan feigned a reproach, saying, "You said you liked to eat this, why are you looking at this brat? You can't spoil a man like that!"
Huo Xiao: ...
Today is another day of being out of favor.
Ye Weiwei chuckled: "No, I love black sesame seeds too."
Liu Guilan patted Ye Weiwei's little hand with a sigh: "You child! Okay, Mom will cook and wait for you to come back to eat."
Ye Weiwei readily agreed, and then got into the car and left under her mother-in-law's reluctant gaze.
After the car drove out of Daqingshan Village, Ye Erge touched his arm and said, "Your mother-in-law spoils you too much. I have never seen a mother-in-law who loves her daughter-in-law so much."
This attitude made him feel that it was a bit too humble.
"Just because someone is nice to you doesn't mean you can take advantage of them, you know? If someone treats you with respect, you should treat them with even more respect. Mutual respect is essential for a lasting relationship, you understand?"
Ye Weiwei said she had learned a lot, "I know, Second Brother, and I will also treat my mother-in-law and the others well."
