Chapter 149: New Year Greetings
"Your sister Hongmei has a harder life. Her husband is a good man, but her mother-in-law is cunning and mean, but her heart is not rotten. She has always been careful about her daughter-in-law's food and clothing.
But money is tight at hand, and it was really hard for Hongmei that your uncle Zhengxi could get medicine before.
She will definitely come to our house when she comes back this time, so you can give her children a piece of cloth. We still have a lot of cloth left over from last time, so it shouldn’t be a problem to make two sets of clothes for the children.”
The family is rich, but Grandma He has no intention of giving any money since they are not that close relatives.
If An Wen hadn't bought her a radio, she wouldn't have let Xiaoxue be so nice to him and his wife.
The heart is hidden.
You must always be on guard against others.
Mei Xue nodded as she listened, and occasionally asked some questions of her own, "Does Sister Hongmei only have one child?"
Grandma He shook her head. "There are two. The eldest is a daughter named Xiaoxiao, and the second is a son. He was born last year and is over one year old this year."
"Born last year? Over one year old?" Mei Xue was a little confused.
When Grandma He heard this, she realized she had spoken too quickly. "She was born two years ago. Look at my brain. Okay, that's not the point. Just give her a piece of dark cloth, a piece of cloth you have left over from making clothes."
There are quite a lot of these scraps of cloth left at home, and they would be perfect to give away.
"Oh, okay." There was no point in keeping the thing herself. If Aunt Meilian hadn't been embarrassed to take it, she would have given it to Aunt Meilian.
Well, they won’t come today, but they might come tomorrow, so Mei Xue is not in a hurry.
Here, Grandma He was instructing Mei Xue, while the other families were also instructing their daughters about Grandma He's family affairs.
The most grateful ones are Hongmei's family.
Hongmei's husband is a good man. He also wants to help his father-in-law's family, but his family's situation is neither good nor bad, so it is really difficult to keep helping.
Now, my brother-in-law can stand on his own and the pressure on him is much less.
"Mom, we didn't bring anything for Third Grandma when we came back this time. Look at this." Hongmei was sincerely grateful to Third Grandma and her family.
When Aunt Xilian heard this, she was happy and said, "No need. You can take all these things to your third grandmother later. There is no need for them at home." Now that conditions are better, she has the confidence.
Conditions were poor at that time, and the daughter suffered a lot of ridicule from her mother-in-law. Of course, she would not hold a grudge against her in-laws. Her in-laws were just unpleasant because of their mouth, but she had helped them with a lot of other things.
"This, this is not good." Hongmei looked at her younger brother and sister-in-law, so she had some thoughts.
When Li Shuangshuang saw her elder sister looking at her, she immediately laughed and said, "Don't worry, elder sister, I won't have any objections. Third Grandma and sister-in-law are very nice to me." After saying that, she took out a digital watch from her hand.
"Look, big sister, this is a gift from my sister-in-law." Not only hers, but also Li Shuangshuang in An Wen's hand was revealed, "An Wen has one too."
For some reason, there was a hint of pride on Li Shuangshuang's face, as if receiving a gift from her sister-in-law was a very proud thing.
"Okay, stop showing off. Be careful that your sister might snatch it away from you." Aunt Xilian came out and joked.
Hongmei was relieved now. "Of course, sister-in-law, you have to hide it carefully, otherwise it will be snatched away." After saying this, she laughed.
"If you like, sister, wait until Brother Anze comes back from the county next time and I'll ask him to bring one for you and your brother-in-law. This watch will be easy to recognize." An Wen said with a smile.
He was sincerely grateful to his sister and brother-in-law.
"I want one too, and Xiaoxiao wants one too." Seeing everyone showing off there, Ma Xiaochun immediately jumped up and shouted.
Ma Xiaochun is the eldest daughter of He Hongmei and Ma Liming. She is only four years old this year and looks more like her father. She is quite good-looking.
Plus she was neatly dressed, the little girl looked very lovable.
"Xiaoxiao, you like it. Next time when Jiujiu goes to the county town, can I buy you one?" An Wen squatted down and said to Xiaoxiao while looking straight at him.
Xiaoxiao likes her uncle very much. Every time she sees her uncle, she can eat a lot of delicious food.
"Okay, thank you uncle." The little girl was very polite.
The whole family made the decision amid the children's laughter.
"Then Mom, Liming and I will take the children to Third Grandma's house." Now that the decision has been made, let's take action.
Hongmei is a very active person.
"Okay, take the child with you. Your Third Grandma likes children more. Shuangshuang, you and Anwen should go with you too, so that your Third Grandma won't have to say anything." Third Aunt was not very familiar with Hongmei's family.
Even though their family and Third Aunt's family were not very close before, it was only after Xiaoxue came into the family that they gradually became closer.
"Hey, mom, I know."
So the brother and sister took their family to their third grandmother's house.
Just as they were about to go out, they ran into An Liang and Lixia.
"Sister Lixia, brother-in-law, you are back too." The daughters in the village usually return to their parents' home late for the New Year, but I didn't expect to meet them today.
"Anwen, what are you doing?" Lixia, holding the child in her arms, asked when she saw the family carrying so many bags.
"We are going to pay New Year's greetings to Third Grandma, what are you doing?" Hongmei laughed.
"Sister Hongmei, let's go and pay New Year's greetings to Third Grandma too. Let's go, or we will be late for dinner." Lixia has been thinking about the food Xiaoxue cooked for a long time.
Upon hearing this, Hongmei couldn't tell the familiarity between Lixia and Third Grandma.
"Okay, let's go pay New Year's greetings to Third Grandma first." At the beginning, a few people joined the team.
Grandma He and Mei Xue had no idea that their home would welcome so many guests.
The two were preparing lunch in the kitchen.
Upon hearing the voice, Grandma He put down the tongs and walked out of the kitchen, "Who is it?" It's New Year's Day, who would come?
"Third grandma, please open the door. I'm so tired." An Liang jumped up when he saw someone coming out.
There is no one else to blame.
Seeing this group of people, Grandma He smiled widely, "Why are you all here? You all just got home today, right?" She hurried forward and opened the gate.
Now that the chickens have grown up, Grandma He is afraid that they will run away, so she always keeps the yard door closed.
But within a few days, when Boss Qian came, he let him catch the chickens. There were so many of them, and they were very noisy and dirty.
"Go away, go away." While opening the door, he drove the chickens away.
There are many chickens in the yard, but it is also very clean. I can’t say that there is no chicken poop at all, but at least you can walk there.
It won't be chicken shit everywhere you step on it.
This shows how much Mei Xue and Grandma He love cleanliness.
This is also the reason why Mei Xue was in a hurry to buy the mountain. She wanted to drive the chickens out of the house.
With Xiaobai around, there’s no need to worry about them running away in the mountains.
"Happy New Year, Third Grandma. We are here to wish you a happy new year." Hongmei and her husband stepped forward and said to Grandma He, not forgetting to pull out their own child.
The tickets are moving!!!
