Arriving at the county train station, several people, exhausted, carried their luggage home.
Xiang Mianmian was yawning non-stop, her hands were full of luggage and she had no time to wipe her tears. She wanted to sleep very much in the afternoon, but she forced herself to hold it back, fearing that something unexpected would happen if she closed her eyes.
It’s amazing that Yin Gan can still manage his appearance. He goes to the bathroom to wash his face with cold water and makes himself look refreshed.
He carried the heaviest luggage and followed Zhang and the third person all the way, sending them to their doorstep. He stared at Xiang Lili, wanting to say something but unable to.
In public, Zhang Jidi didn't let him stay long. He said a few polite words and let him go home first.
Xiang Lili stretched her neck and stared at his figure disappearing around the corner. When she lowered her head and saw her youngest sister's teasing eyes, she stomped her feet shyly and went back to her room.
No matter how fast she rushed into the door, she couldn't hide the redness of her ears that were bleeding.
Xiang Mianmian shook her head. It seemed that her fifth brother-in-law had already been chosen. Her fourth brother Xiang Lihua should pack up and get ready, as he was about to face the peak of pressure to get married.
Not to mention that there are no women in the army, Zhang Jidi arranged several blind dates for him when he came back from vacation, but Xiang Lihua rejected them all.
He was unwilling to settle for a wife.
There are only three unmarried children in the family now. Xiang Mianmian is not even 15 yet. At least she had Xiang Lili to protect her before, but now Xiang Lihua has no cover at all.
Xiang Lihua, who was in a military camp thousands of miles away, didn't know that his sister was about to start a family relationship. He was still recovering from his injuries.
It was already very late when the mother and her two daughters arrived home. Zhang Jidi forced himself to change the bed sheets in the three rooms, then simply washed up and went to bed.
She was worried all the way, fearing that her daughter's illness would relapse, and was so worried that she couldn't sleep every day.
Now that I'm back home, I can finally get a good night's sleep in this familiar environment.
Xiang Mianmian also slept soundly. Teenagers are at a time when they lack sleep, but she stayed up late to study and repair the gantry crane, and the aftereffects of this still exist today.
They didn't wake up until noon the next day when Xiang Hongqi returned from his night shift.
When Zhang Jidi woke up, he quickly bought groceries and cooked, while directing a few people to call the children over to have dinner together, at least to let his worried family know the situation.
There is no need to worry about safety when the sun is shining brightly during the day, but she will not let her daughter go out after dark.
Once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. Zhang Jidi will never let what happened to Xiang Lili happen again.
When it was time for dinner in the evening, the whole family gathered together to eat.
Except for Xiang Lihua, everyone else was there. Even Xiang Youjun, the little baby who would be one year old in two days, came over.
When he saw him, Zhang Jidi realized that he had not informed his relatives about the first birthday party!
She felt a little guilty: "Ah, Lili, this happened so suddenly that I forgot about Youjun's first birthday party. Youyou, don't mind, I'll make it up to you next Sunday."
Tomorrow is Sunday. We can't go to Anjia now to inform them that it will be done tomorrow. That would be too disrespectful.
Next Sunday would be a good choice, as we have plenty of time.
After An You had a child, she understood her mother-in-law's love for her son and said sympathetically, "Listen to Mom, let's have the first birthday party earlier or later. There's no rush."
The first birthday is important, and so is her aunt's health. Even if she wants to fight, she won't choose this time.
Besides, her mother had already said that if Zhang Jidi continued to seek medical treatment and did not come back, the worst that could happen was that they would prepare two tables at the An family's house to eat together, just like when her grandmother held her first birthday party.
Wang Chunting felt a little embarrassed when she heard this, and she hugged Xiang Youzhi and lowered her head silently.
She did not forget that she seemed to be possessed by a demon at that time. She kept arguing with her mother-in-law to buy a gold locket for her eldest grandson, which almost made the house a mess. In the end, it was her mother Ming Erni who settled the matter.
Although Xiang Youzhi and Xiang Youjun have the same birthday, two-year-old celebrations are not a custom in the county.
Wang Chunting didn't argue about anything.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Jidi turned around and said to her, "I remember Youzhi's birthday is also on the 18th. Let's have a meal together as a family in a couple of days to celebrate for him."
Two-year-old Xiang Youzhi can already speak, blinking his big eyes and calling for his grandma.
Zhang Jidi was so happy that he took the child from Wang Chunting and fed him with a spoon: "Youzhi is great. You still remember grandma?"
Wang Chunting felt even more uncomfortable when she saw how close her mother-in-law and son were, chatting with each other while eating.
This is terrible. Did someone steal her brain at that time? How could she do such a stupid thing?
She was puzzled. The food on the table in front of her no longer smelled good. She started to doubt her life while shoveling rice.
Xiang Liguo next to him coughed twice and continued eating as usual.
Fortunately, no one knew about the secret between the two except Ming Erni who was not present, and the family had a reunion dinner happily.
During the meal, Zhang Jidi said that Xiang Lili had improved, could speak normally, and her ears were recovering. Everyone was very happy.
The family only hopes for each other's well-being, and they have been very worried about Xiang Lili's condition these days.
Xiang Meimei touched her belly to feel the baby's movement and congratulated her sister, "That's great, Lili, after all the hard work, you finally got your reward. That little bastard deserves the death penalty!"
Their request at the opening of the court session was to demand the death penalty for the two criminals and not to accept out-of-court settlement.
In the end, the principal offender was sentenced to seventeen years and the accomplice to nine years, but it still felt too light a sentence.
If Xiang Lili fails to be cured by seeking medical treatment in Shanghai this time, she will be left with permanent scars and will go from having a bright future to being disabled. Who can bear this?
