Chapter 363

This was not the first time Tang Wan had heard this, and she was too impatient to explain, so she said:

"Is there anything else? It's freezing cold, if you have nothing else, go back and rest."

"Oh, it's okay."

Xu Cuiying smiled awkwardly, "It's just that my husband Cheng hasn't come back yet, and the New Year is almost approaching, and I'm worried."

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

As military wives, Tang Wan understood why she was worried. After returning to the kitchen, Lu Huaijing took the initiative to say:

"Old Cheng thought the children needed money, so he took on a few more tasks. I'm afraid he won't be back for the New Year."

“So that’s how it is.”

Tang Wan thought of Xu Cuiying's pitiful appearance, sighed and said:

"Which woman in our compound doesn't think of herself as a strong woman?"

"Daughter-in-law, thank you for your hard work."

Lu Huaijing also agreed with this point, but because of his identity and responsibilities, he could not say false words to deceive Tang Wan that he was responsible for everything.

"Well, the New Year is coming in two years, so I plan to fry some pickled tofu and meatballs."

Tang Wan took out the tender tofu that she had prepared long ago, heated up the sesame oil, and then soaked it in pots.

The tofu soaked in hot oil smells delicious. It’s already the end of the year and every family wants to have a lively New Year.

So the fragrance has been constant for the past few days, and it doesn't seem out of place for Tang Wan to do this.

It's so delicious that even the two little ones were looking at Tang Wan eagerly.

"You guys can't eat this yet."

Tang Wan smiled helplessly and picked up the fried tofu and placed it in a basket on the side.

Lu Huaijing couldn't help but pick up a piece with chopsticks and tasted it. "Hmm, it tastes great."

"People in my area always make this during Chinese New Year."

Tang Wan rarely saw Wang Dani frying this, but the customs of frying bacon were the same.

"Sprinkle some salt on it and it will keep for a long time."

Tang Wan couldn't stand the two babies' eager looks, so she handed Lu Huaijing an apple and a spoon.

"You dig it up and feed it to them."

As she spoke, she also demonstrated how to scoop apple puree with a spoon, and the children ate it with relish.

"Lu Huaijing, our Yao'er is about to grow teeth!"

Tang Wan noticed with her sharp eyes that there was a little white on Yao'er's lower teeth.

No wonder Yaoer couldn’t help biting her hands these past two days, it turned out her teeth were itchy.

"I saw it too, it's real!"

Lu Huaijing, the new father, was also extremely excited. Xiaoheng, who was ignored over there, couldn't help but scream.

"Don't worry, little cat."

Tang Wan fed him a mouthful of apple puree and carefully observed Xiao Heng's gums.

It seems to be in the budding stage. In the evening, she will go to the Space Mall to pick out some teething sticks.

"I'll feed it."

Lu Huaijing excitedly took over the task of feeding Apple, while Tang Wan continued to fry tofu.

I also baked two glutinous rice cakes.

After the tofu was ready, Tang Wan fried some meatballs and put them in the cupboard before handing the baked glutinous rice cake to Lu Huaijing.

"Will you come back for the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve?"

"Yes."

Lu Huaijing grinned, "I'll rest for five days, then you can relax a little."

"It's just a habit. Eat quickly, then wash up and take a rest."

A sweet feeling welled up in Tang Wan's heart. Although her life was dull, she still felt happy.

It’s just that she hasn’t seen her parents for a long time and she missed them a little.

After coaxing the children to sleep at night, Tang Wan wrote a letter to her parents.

Returning to bed and looking at the children's peaceful sleeping faces, she felt extremely satisfied again.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. In the past two days, Tang Wan has been going to the city from time to time to buy window decorations to paste on them.

When Lu Huaijing was not at home during the day, she made a lot of dumplings and secretly caught some fish from the river when no one was paying attention and made dried fish.

But in just a few days, Tang Wan filled the house like a little hamster.

When Lu Huaijing was not around during the day, Tang Wan would sometimes take out rare fruits from the space to feed the two children.

For example, dragon fruit, bananas and mangoes that children can eat...

There were only a few skinny apples and oranges on display, which were still sweet in the winter.

On New Year's Eve, Tang Wan felt somewhat worried about Mr. and Mrs. Xu, so she handed the child to Zhang Hongyan and packed some things to go over and take a look.

As soon as she reached the alley entrance, she vaguely heard Aunt Xu's crazy roar, "Get out of here!"

Tang Wan became anxious and quickened her pace. From a distance, she saw a group of people gathered at the door of Mr. Xu's house.

Tang Wan pushed through the crowd and went in, and saw Aunt Xu, who was usually gentle, pressing Aunt Su to the ground.

Then slap him madly.

"Stop it, stop it now!"

"Sister Xu, how can you be so cruel? It's Sister Su's own fault."

"Who told her to always take advantage of others? This time she's going to force an honest person to show off his power!"

“…”

"Let me go, let me go!"

Aunt Su screamed and tried to get people around her to help her, but everyone saw Aunt Xu's crazy look.

No one dared to touch it, for fear that the ghost would haunt them after they got involved.

After all, Aunt Su is a bad person.

"aunt!"

After Tang Wan rushed over, she didn't rush forward to stop it. Anyway, Aunt Su didn't suffer any loss.

She stamped her feet anxiously, "What's going on? Can you tell me what's going on?"

"This old Su is a man with a confused mind. He must be trying to extort money from us again."

"I know about this. This morning, Old Su asked someone to borrow some bacon. Who would be willing to borrow such a valuable item?

When the other party refused to lend her the money, she started swearing in the yard, which really pissed the other party off."

“…”

Everyone talked at once about the whole story, and Tang Wan lowered her eyes to look at the vicious Aunt Xu.

There were still traces of tears on her face, and it was obvious that she was very angry.

"Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang, please help your aunt, I'm going to be beaten to death!"

Aunt Su couldn't do anything to Aunt Xu at this moment and could only curl up her body to protect her face.

But after what happened today, she won't be able to live in this alley anymore.

"Auntie, Auntie, I'm here!"

Tang Wan said she was trying to persuade them to stop fighting, but she actually just grabbed Aunt Su's arm and rescued her from Aunt Xu's hands.

When Aunt Su wanted to fight back, Tang Wan hugged her tightly.

“I…I…”

Aunt Xu, who had been a little crazy just now, gradually came to her senses and saw that Aunt Su was still trying to get back with her.

Tang Wan stopped her with a word, "We are all neighbors, I believe you know my aunt's situation.

She is mentally ill, so even if she accidentally hurt someone, it is not her fault."

Tang Wan glanced at Aunt Su coldly, let her go, and supported Aunt Xu, who looked pale.

Aunt Xu understood immediately, she laughed and said, "Bad guy, come here.

I'm going to kill you, come here quickly!"

She was so angry that she was shaking, but luckily Tang Wan showed up in time and made her mind clearer.

"I...I don't dare anymore."

Aunt Su was so frightened that she backed away repeatedly, wishing she could stay away from Aunt Xu.
