Chapter 93
Tang Wan's eyes were fixed on the gray thing, and she couldn't tell what it was.
The shape is a bit like a snuff bottle.
She didn't care what it was and said quickly, "I like it, I like it. Master, please help me calculate it."
Since the master asked her this, it must not be as shabby as it appears.
"Um."
The old man's attitude was still a little cold. He weighed the books Tang Wan had chosen and said casually:
"Just give me 80 cents."
"Thank you, Grandpa."
Tang Wantong gave him eighty cents and took a pear from the basket and put it on the table.
"I'll come again next time!"
After saying this, she walked away with happy steps. The master held the pear and hummed softly.
"He is a man who is grateful and repays kindness."
He carefully packed the pears into his bag, intending to take them back for his wife to eat.
Then he sat back in the rocking chair, eyes half-closed, looking lazy and casual.
Tang Wan came out of the recycling station and rode her bicycle directly to the compound.
On the deserted road, she and her car went straight into the space.
She was really curious about the gray thing and she especially wanted to know what was inside it.
So I took some water and wiped the dust off the outside.
The gray stuff was wiped clean, revealing a very beautiful painting.
It was indeed a snuff bottle.
And she is also a snuff bottle for a mother-in-law!
It's not a good thing that costs sky-high, but it's definitely a collectible item.
Tang Wan's heart was pounding and she held the phone tightly, afraid that it would fall to the ground and break.
After cleaning it carefully, Tang Wan then took a towel and wiped off the water stains bit by bit.
The master obviously knew what it was, yet he returned it to her. Tang Wan instantly felt that the master was a good person.
Holding her jaw which was about to drop in surprise, Tang Wan came out of the space happily, humming a song all the way while riding her bike.
But when she arrived at the compound, she heard people arguing. Zhang Hongyan saw her and waved to her.
"Big sister, don't rush back. Cheng Xiaoyue is going crazy."
"ah?"
Tang Wan was stunned for a moment, thinking of the pregnant Xu Cuiying, "Sister Cuiying is still pregnant, why doesn't she know how to calm down at all?"
If anything happened to the child, both husband and wife would go crazy.
"Cuiying asked me to call the Women's Federation, and they are now handling their dispute."
Zhang Hongyan curled her lips and said, "She has offended her brother and sister-in-law now. She won't be able to visit her parents in the compound anymore."
"What's the commotion about?"
Tang Wan frowned, feeling a little worried, and Zhang Hongyan rolled her eyes in disgust.
"A sister-in-law asked her sister-in-law for wedding makeup, and her face was very big."
Tang Wan: …
It's indeed a bit shameless, and I don't know how she had the nerve to ask that.
"Sister-in-law knows that you have a good relationship with Cuiying. Don't worry, the people from the Women's Federation will protect her."
Zhang Hongyan knew Tang Wan's thoughts very well, and she held Tang Wan's hand for her own good.
Tang Wan naturally would not refuse her kindness until the noise of the quarrel gradually died down.
They were just hurrying home. Tang Wan parked her bike in the yard and saw from a distance that Cheng Xiaoyue in the opposite yard was jumping with anger.
However, the people from the Women's Federation were there, so she couldn't do anything to Xu Cuiying and could only leave in shame.
"sister."
Tang Zhou caught some earthworms to feed the two chickens, and Tang Wan took him into the house.
"Look what my sister brought you?"
She took out two small cakes from the basket. They were desserts from the Space Mall.
Tang Wan had already removed the packaging because she was worried that Tang Zhou would notice something was wrong.
Even so, the exquisite appearance still made Tang Zhou's eyes widen and he exclaimed in surprise.
“Does it look delicious?”
"Eat it, one each."
Tang Wan feels that eating desserts can make people feel better. If the milk tea wasn’t so outrageous, she would even want to drink a cup of milk tea.
“So sweet.”
Tang Zhou narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, revealing the innocence of a child of his age.
Tang Wan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Seeing his eyes looking away, she immediately understood.
"If you want to share Shengli, call him over."
"I don't want to."
Tang Zhou snorted awkwardly and said, "It was you, sister, who asked me to call him over."
After saying that, he quickly ran out of the yard. This awkward look made Tang Wan inexplicably find him cute.
She finished her cake in a few bites and then went into the kitchen.
The brother and sister had a simple lunch and dinner. In the meantime, Tang Wan ran to the space to plant all the fruit trees that had just been harvested that day.
At night, Tang Wan was planning to go to the space to dig a fish pond.
There was a knock on the courtyard gate. Through the gate, Tang Wan saw Xu Cuiying standing at the door with some fruit in her hand.
"Sister Wanwan, my man is back, and he wants to talk to Cheng Xiaoyue and Battalion Commander Duan.
I really don't want to face Cheng Xiaoyue, can I come to your house and sit for a while?"
"Of course, come in."
Tang Wan immediately opened the gate and welcomed the person in. Occasionally, the roar of Captain Cheng could be heard from the opposite side.
The two turned a deaf ear to her while Xu Cuiying placed a few ordinary-looking pears on the table.
"This is what Lao Cheng got from his fellow villagers. I'll give you a few to try."
"You're pregnant, keep it for yourself."
Tang Wan liked her and Zhang Hongyan very much, so she simply peeled the pear and handed it to Xu Cuiying.
"Wan Wan is really meticulous. I used to eat the fruit with the skin and flesh together."
Country girls are in a hurry to work and don't care so much.
"I'm not usually like this, but I saw you were pregnant."
Tang Wan waved her hands awkwardly, almost exposing her delicate side.
Fortunately, Zhang Hongyan’s focus has never been on this, she sighed lightly.
"Sister Wanwan, I'm quite jealous of you. We've all met Vice Colonel Lu's sister.
Although she has a bit of a temper, she is protective of you. As long as she recognizes you as her sister-in-law, she will definitely be on the same page with you."
Tang Wan: ???
Is Lu Huaili a hot-tempered person?
Tang Wan expressed her confusion. Lu Huaili sat here that day, but she didn't feel anything.
Thinking of this, Tang Wan felt that as an aunt, she should go back to Lu Huaili's house to see her children.
Perhaps her expression was too obvious, Xu Cuiying didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Before you came.
I had the opportunity to see Lu Huaili quarreling with one of her sisters-in-law, and she was quite fierce.
Or maybe she was thinking of Cheng Xiaoyue, she whispered to Tang Wan: "Sister Wanwan, the creature called sister-in-law is a bit scary.
If you say something too serious, your in-laws might get angry. If you don’t say anything, she might even bully you.”
I don’t know whether Lu Huaili will bully Tang Wan.
"No one can bully me."
Tang Wan smiled as she watched Xu Cuiying take out a knitted sweater from the small bag she was carrying.
She looked curious and asked, "Are you knitting this for your child?"
"Yes."
Xu Cuiying's eyes were gentle. "In previous years, we always gave it to Old Cheng. This year, of course, we can't leave out the baby."
Tang Wan subconsciously thought of the tall and strong Lu Huaijing, and her heart moved.
"Sister Cuiying, can you teach me?"
"Want to give it to Vice-President Lu?"
Xu Cuiying's teasing look made Tang Wan blush, and she said stubbornly:
"I want to weave it for myself and Zhou Zhou."
Giving Lu Huaijing something is just a by-product.
