After New Year's Day, Yi Qingqing, Wang Lingling, Xie Shiyan and others took the train back to the city.
This time, there were four adults and one child who came to pick her up.
As soon as she got off the train, Yi Qingqing saw the strange woman holding Xiaohui next to her brother.
This should be the female master Su Cai from the machinery factory.
With her mother's constant assistance and her brother's clumsy but sincere pursuit, Su Cai softened her attitude in the middle of this year and had a serious talk with her brother.
She even explained that her last marriage conflicts were caused by fertility issues, and that her ex-husband might cause trouble.
According to what Yi Qingqing's mother wrote in the letter, her brother said that he didn't care about these things at all. The original words were: "It's not whether you can give birth or not that matters to me! If you can still give birth, that's the best. If you can't, there's Xiaohui. I like you because you are smart and strong, and that's exactly what I don't have. I'm not very smart in dealing with people, but I'm honest and kind-hearted, and I will treat you well! And if your ex-husband comes to make trouble, I'm not afraid of him. He just bullies the weak and fears the strong. I'll beat him up every time he comes!"
Su Cai still didn't believe it. "If you don't value him, what about your family? Can they tolerate you not having a son?"
Then Yi Qingqing's brother decisively took her home. Next it was her mother's turn to perform. It could be said that her mother had liked Su Cai before her brother, but she was not in a position to show up.
With such a mother-in-law and good conditions, it is a good choice even if the husband is not a good person. The key is that Yi Zhigang is really a good person.
And so they got married a few months ago, with the same grand ceremony as their first wedding, and they attached great importance to the woman.
On the wedding day, Su Cai's ex-husband came to cause trouble, but her mother and Su Cai were not simple people. They were well prepared and had invited many burly men in the compound to wait for him. But the man was beaten out before he even entered the compound.
That man was indeed a coward. In the past, he thought that Su Cai was a woman with no relatives or friends, and even if Su Cai was fierce, she could not beat a grown man. But now that she was remarried and had so many backers, he was afraid.
Moreover, Su Cai, Yi Qingqing's father and her brother worked in the same unit and went to and from get off work together, so that man would not find any opportunity to bully anyone.
It is said that he has not come to the door for several months.
When she saw this person, Yi Qingqing finally understood why her mother had praised her new sister-in-law's beauty so many times.
Her hair is neatly combed and her lines are smooth, which is the type of bright and beautiful woman that later generations prefer. It does not conform to the mainstream aesthetic of this era. Although this kind of beauty is likely to attract some gossip nowadays, it is really eye-catching. Even if she wears very simple clothes, it cannot conceal her femininity!
After reuniting with her parents, Yi Qingqing couldn't help but look at them several times.
"Qingqing, your sister-in-law is pretty, isn't she?" Zhao Xianglan said proudly to her daughter.
Look at her vision, how wonderful!
Yi Qingqing nodded: "It's so beautiful!" She has a good figure too!
Yi Zhigang carried Yi Qingqing's luggage and held Su Cai's hand: "My wife is the most beautiful in the world!"
Su Cai felt a little embarrassed. She always wished she looked more ordinary before, but this appearance brought her more troubles than benefits.
She had heard many words like vixen, vixen, and even indecent. But after marrying into the Yi family, she felt that her looks were an advantage because of the praises from her mother-in-law and husband every day.
Now my sister-in-law is the same. Is this a common liking for beautiful things?
"Everyone in our family is good-looking. We feel so bright and spacious when we go out. I can eat two more bowls of rice just by looking at them!" Zhao Xianglan was in a very good mood. Today, not only did she have a beautiful daughter-in-law to look at, but she also had a beautiful daughter. She felt doubly comfortable.
"Your sister-in-law went to the morning market early today and bought a chicken. She stewed it before coming to pick you up. You can eat it as soon as you get home."
“Thank you, sister-in-law!”
Although it was the first time that Yi Qingqing met Su Cai, her mother mentioned her more often than her father and brother in the letters from home over the past year, so she was quite familiar with her.
I have to admit that Yi Qingqing also inherited her mother's obsession with looks. As soon as I saw her, I felt a liking for her.
And she is really attentive. In the past two years, after returning home for the Chinese New Year, she has been responsible for the task of purchasing New Year's goods for the family. She often goes to the morning market, and it is not easy to buy a chicken.
Xiaohui kept calling "Jingjing~Gugu~" along the way. It was quite interesting to see this little girl, who had just learned to speak, muttering this.
"At home, my parents always talk about you, and Xiaohui learned it. At first, she just cried 'surprise~surprise~', and I thought she was calling something else. Later, we taught her to say 'Auntie', and she actually said it all together. Then I realized she was calling you!" Su Cai said with a smile.
"Mom!" Xiaohui called again.
This time the words were very clear.
"Xiaohui, what about me?" Yi Zhigang moved his face closer.
Xiao Hui said in a baby voice: "Mom! Baba! Grandpa~Gu~"
"Hahaha," Yi Qingqing laughed, "Xiaohui is so young, but she's so fair!"
The others laughed too.
Xiaohui looked at the adults laughing, pulled the little flowers on their clothes in confusion, and also giggled.
When we got home, the family smelled a fragrance as soon as they walked to the entrance of the corridor.
"Gugu~"
This time it was not Xiaohui who called her auntie, but Yiqingqing's stomach growling.
In the countryside, I ate too much delicious food, and the dry biscuits on the train were a little hard to swallow. Thinking that I was about to get home, I simply didn’t eat much in the morning.
Aunt Fang, who was picking up coal briquettes in the corridor of the next room, hurried into the house as soon as she saw the full basket on Yi Zhigang's back, and slammed the door shut.
If you don’t leave now, Zhao Xianglan will show off her daughter again!
After Aunt Fang closed the door, Zhao Xianglan ran to the door and called out, "Cui Lan, are you home? Why did you stop picking up the coal briquettes halfway?"
"I'm not home!" a roar came from the house.
"Oh, I was just about to say that my daughter is back, carrying so many bags, and she doesn't feel tired," Zhao Xianglan felt relieved after saying this. She walked to the door of her house with her hands behind her back, took out the key and opened the door.
Yi Qingqing found it funny.
Her mother seemed to be keen on bickering, too! Especially with Aunt Fang, the war between the two women had lasted for more than ten years.
The chicken was already cooked. Yi Qingqing was really hungry. As soon as she took a bite of the chicken, her stomach went wild. She gave her sister-in-law a thumbs-up with her left hand: "Delicious!"
Su Cai picked up a chicken leg for her: "This one has a lot of meat!"
Yi Zhigang also picked up a piece of meat for his wife: "You eat too!"
Su Cai nodded and started eating, but as soon as the food entered her mouth, she suddenly began to dry heave.
He quickly stood up and stood aside.
This shocked everyone.
