Chapter 580 Let's just do our part
On the way, Tang Wan said to Li Cuihua, "Sister-in-law, if anyone asks you about this, just say that I brought Xuehua over to look after my child."
"Why do you still say that? You can't say that my Daya... Oh, is Xuehua going to work?"
Li Cuihua was a little dissatisfied, she wanted to save face by saying this to others.
"The job has not been confirmed yet, so it is not appropriate to make it public."
Tang Wan was speechless. Li Cuihua's EQ was really low. She explained:
"If a large group of people come to me to introduce jobs, I can't refuse them."
That's the reason, right?
Li Cuihua suddenly realized, and although she was a little unhappy, she didn't say much.
Soon they arrived at the captain's house, and Tang Wan came over with a bag of candy in her hand to wish him a happy new year.
"Captain, Happy New Year!"
Seeing the captain's wife taking away the candy, Li Cuihua felt so painful.
The third family is really generous. This bag of candy can last for a long time.
"Happy New Year."
The captain's wife was very satisfied with Tang Wan's progress. "Huai Jing, when will you be back?"
"I will be back the day after tomorrow after my mother's birthday. I want to ask the captain to write me a letter of introduction. I have two children and I still need to go to school.
I was afraid I couldn’t bring her here, so I wanted to bring my eldest brother’s daughter, Xuehua, with me.”
Tang Wan said this to the captain who was smoking a pipe at the door.
The captain's wife was a little surprised. Seeing that her mother Li Cuihua had no objection, she looked at the captain.
"Does everyone in your family agree?"
The captain took a few puffs of his cigarette, and Li Cuihua said hurriedly:
"Don't worry, Captain. Our whole family agrees."
“It’s not easy.”
The team leader got up and went into the house to get a pen and paper, because they all knew Li Cuihua's temper.
A few days ago, her family came over to make trouble and everyone watched a good show.
She is not obsessed with finding a partner for her child?
It's really unlike her.
"Isn't it because I think her third aunt is a capable person, she can't harm our child."
Li Cuihua became more and more proud as she spoke, "Maybe my daughter Xuehua will have a good opportunity in Kyoto and become a regular employee."
"Then I congratulate you in advance."
The captain's wife didn't know the inside story, so her congratulations seemed fake.
But Li Cuihua was still very happy, thinking that her daughter finally had value.
The captain personally helped to change the names of the two sisters, so he also knew that Xuehua was Li Cuihua's eldest daughter.
After the introduction letter was opened, Tang Wan thanked happily, "Thank you, Captain."
"You are welcome."
The captain's family still had a good impression of Tang Wan. On the way back, Li Cuihua acted like the eldest sister-in-law again.
"Old Third, I'm not being nosy, but you're really too generous.
Isn't it just a letter of introduction? Is it necessary to give such a big bag of candy?"
"It's New Year's Day, it's not good to go to someone's place empty-handed."
Tang Wan explained speechlessly, "And if I don't give them candy, they will definitely ask questions.
As long as the matter can be done, it's just a favor, and I can afford it."
Li Cuihua: …
She admitted that Tang Wan was right.
Why does she seem so petty?
Xuehua and Shuanghua were waiting at the door. They were very excited when they saw Tang Wan and the others coming back.
"Mother, Auntie."
"I've got the letter of introduction. Xuehua, go pack your things and leave with us tomorrow."
Tang Wan's words excited both Snow Flower and Frost Flower. Frost Flower even hugged Snow Flower and said:
"Sister, you can go to Kyoto now."
"She was so happy that if you didn't know her, you would think she wanted to leave this home."
Although Li Cuihua was happy in her heart, she felt uncomfortable seeing her two daughters in such a state, as if things were not going well at home.
"Mom, I'm happy for my sister."
Shuanghua knew her mother's character, so she pulled Xuehua into the house to pack their luggage.
Her daughter was leaving, and Li Cuihua, with a rare reluctance to let her go, hurried to help her pack.
Tang Wan also took the children to pack things, and Wang Dani sent all the dried vegetables that had been packed in advance to Tang Wan's room.
In Xuehua and Shuanghua's house, Li Cuihua was helping to clean up while mumbling to herself.
"Don't bring the quilt or anything like that. Your auntie must have some. Just bring two sets of clothes for changing."
She said she came to help clean up, but ended up taking out some of the things Xuehua had packed.
Shuanghua bravely asked Li Cuihua, "Mom, I have to bring some money with me when I go to Kyoto."
"Didn't you keep the New Year's money you received before? It should be enough.
Besides, your aunt took you to Kyoto, and you had to help take care of the children, so what's wrong with giving you some money?"
Li Cuihua's matter-of-fact attitude made Xuehua feel uncomfortable.
She suddenly felt a little regretful.
If I follow my aunt to Kyoto, will I be a burden to her?
Her mother is really stingy and now she has no intention of taking care of her at all.
Tang Wan didn’t know all this. After she had sorted out her things, Lu Huairen, Lu Huaide and others came back.
Tomorrow is Wang Dani's 60th birthday, and the two brothers went to the town to buy a lot of ingredients.
Although grand celebrations were not popular in this era, the children also wanted to show their filial piety to Wang Dani.
So I plan to invite my close relatives to my home for a meal.
In the yard, Wang Dani smiled with wrinkles all over her face, "Why buy so many vegetables?
It’s just a birthday, we celebrate it every year, there’s no need to make a fuss about it.”
"This year is different. This year is my mother's big birthday."
Lu Huairen, the filial son, smiled naively. His wife Li Cuihua was heartbroken when she saw the food.
"Yes, mother, we can just invite a few close friends to have dinner together. It won't cost much."
Lu Huaide also said so, and he was happy that his wife was pregnant again.
So I don’t hesitate to spend money when buying things.
Except for Li Cuihua, all the daughters-in-law were very happy, and Wang Dani naturally didn't say anything.
They started preparing the ingredients in the evening, with Tang Wan, Li Cuihua, Wang Shuhua and Lu Huaimei helping out.
Li Cuihua lowered her voice and said, "The young wife is just lazy.
The banquet is about to start tomorrow, but there is no sign of either of them."
Although she looked flattering in front of Sun Moli.
But Sun Moli and Lu Huaiyi only showed up on the first day of the Lunar New Year and then hurried back to the city.
"Forget it, let's just do our own job."
Wang Shuhua never cared about these things, but Li Cuihua did, "That won't do.
Celebrating their mother's birthday is the responsibility of all the sons. Even if they don't come back, the money that is due should still be distributed.
They are the hosts of the house, but they are acting like guests. If you hadn’t said anything, I would have taken the initiative to bring it up.”
Tang Wan and the others didn't say anything. She thought that Sun Moli shouldn't be short of the money.
After preparing all the things, Tang Wan was exhausted when she lay down at night.
I didn't have time to think too much, because when I woke up the next morning, everyone had already gotten up early.
The breakfast was simple, and after a few bites, Tang Wan and the others started preparing lunch.
This birthday party, I treated you to lunch.
