Chapter 148
After moving to the new house, it is more convenient for her mother and elder sister to come back to visit her, and it is also more convenient for her to visit them. They can mail things to her, or she can mail things to them, without having to hide anything.
Bai Xiu Xiu feels particularly good every time she writes to them.
Bai Xiuxiu told them about the recent division of the family and that her husband had a job in the county, and also gave them her new address.
I also sorted out the small clothes I had knitted for my eldest sister's children, as well as the clothes for my eldest sister's husband and her family, and prepared to mail them together.
If you knit it for your mother, just leave it there and give it to her when she comes back to see you.
Wang Qinghe cleaned up the living room, washed up, and went back to his room, saying that Bai Xiuxiu's letter was almost finished.
"Are these all the things you're mailing?" Wang Qinghe saw the things his wife had prepared and thought that he could mail some more.
When he and Xiuxiu lived in the Wang family, if it weren't for the things sent by her elder sister and mother, Xiuxiu's life would have been even more difficult than it is now.
They have separated from the Wang family and their lives are better now, so it is only natural that they send more mail there.
"We have already mailed New Year's goods there before, so these will be enough." Bai Xiu Xiu sorted out the things and letters.
Wang Qinghe never refuted what his daughter-in-law said.
"Then let's mail the things out tomorrow and then go back to the village."
As he said this, he closed the door and looked at his wife expectantly: "Xiu Xiu, can we take a rest now?"
Bai Xiu Xiu looked at him and wondered if there was anything she didn't understand.
I nodded at him and put my busy work aside.
Early in the morning, Bai Xiu Xiu still woke up to the smell of rice.
She habitually looked towards the place where the stove was usually placed and found it empty. Then she realized that they had moved.
After changing clothes, Bai Xiuxiu came out of the house and was surrounded by two children.
"Mom, come out and play with us." Yueyue pulled her to go out expectantly.
She and her brother had been waiting for a long time, but her father said that her mother was sleeping and they couldn't disturb her.
The two children pestered her to go play in the yard. Bai Xiuxiu looked at her husband who was cooking and said, "Why so early? Can I help you?"
Wang Qinghe raised his head, his handsome face was a little dusty, he smiled at Bai Xiuxiu and said: "Xiuxiu, go play with them, I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Bai Xiu Xiu looked at the two children with eager faces, and knew that they had been bored recently, so she followed them out.
Outside the yard, at the door of the next-door neighbor's house.
Ning Meimei was picking beans. When she saw Bai Xiuxiu leading the two children out, she quickly came over and said, "Xiaobai, your two children are so good looking."
The two children dug a pile of dirt in the yard and made small figures to play with. Bai Xiuxiu made two little rabbits for them.
Seeing Ning Meimei coming over, she answered, "Children are all cute. Sister Ning, why are you out so early?"
It's just daybreak outside.
Ning Meimei heard this, glanced at her own home, and complained in a low voice: "How dare I not get up early? If I dare not get up, this family will be in chaos. My mother-in-law finds fault with me all day long. By the way, Xiuxiu, where are you working now?"
"Me? I'm in the Women's Federation in our village." Bai Xiu Xiu washed the mud off her hands and started chatting with Ning Meimei.
Ning Meimei is a chatterbox.
After chatting for a while, Bai Xiu Xiu had almost finished asking about what was happening next door.
The Lin family next door has three sons and three daughters.
The three sons all work in the canning factory here. Among the sons and daughters-in-law, only the third one has a job and has taken over the old lady's shift. Ning Meimei and her eldest sister-in-law stay at home.
His three daughters all married well and would send gifts back to him every now and then.
Few people living nearby would confront their family.
Most of the neighbors here work in the canning factory.
After they chatted for a while, Ning Meimei saw her mother-in-law coming out of the house and hurried away: "I'll come talk to you another day. I'm going back now."
She ran very fast, fearing that she would be seen by her mother-in-law.
"You lazy guy, where have you been so early in the morning? You are lazy every day. I serve the whole family all day long, and I have to serve a lazy thing like you!" Next door, Old Mrs. Lin was making a lot of noise.
Even through the door, one could see what Old Mrs. Lin looked like.
She is slightly plump and fair-skinned, with a fierce look in her eyes that looks like a hook.
He pointed at Ning Meimei and started scolding her.
Ning Meimei lowered her head and listened to the lecture. When the old lady finished, she breathed a sigh of relief: "Mom, this is all I can do. I will do it no matter how hard I try. If you can't bear to see me sitting around idle, just let the third daughter-in-law give me the job.
There are three daughters-in-law in a family, and you just give the job to her.
What else can my sister-in-law and I do if we are not free? "
"Bah! How dare you be so stubborn? I can give my job to whoever wants it, why can't you get one for yourself? It's because your mother's family is incompetent. If you replaced her with someone who is capable..."
The old lady was stubborn and still finding fault.
Ning Meimei rolled her eyes and went straight into the house.
Soon the old lady also came in and started cursing, but Bai Xiu Xiu couldn't hear it.
It seems that Ning Meimei is not having a good time next door either.
"Xiu Xiu, it's time to eat." Wang Qinghe put the food on the table and called his wife to eat. Seeing that the two children were still playing, he took the two children to wash their hands.
After the family had finished their meal, Bai Xiuxiu and Wang Qinghe took the two children to the village.
They had just moved to a new place, and she was still worried about letting Bai Xiuxiu leave the child at home.
Wait until you are familiar with the environment there before settling the child at home.
When the family of four arrived in the village, passers-by asked them curiously. The village was so small and the news of their move had already spread everywhere.
When Bai Xiuxiu arrived at the brigade, Wang Qinghe sent her into the house and then went to find the brigade leader. He had a job in the county and his household registration had to be transferred there, so he had to contact the brigade for help.
Seeing Bai Xiuxiu coming back, Chen Jinhua was also very happy: "How is it? Is the move going smoothly? How are the new neighbors?"
"Yes, Xiuxiu, you moved away without saying anything, which scared us." Liu Xiaohui was so jealous. She didn't have to be controlled by her mother-in-law and moved far away. Her life was like that of a god.
It would be great if she could separate from the family someday. She doesn't ask to move far away, just separate from the family.
Although Miaomiao was not jealous, she was also very curious.
Bai Xiu Xiu was surrounded by them and asked all kinds of questions, but the two children had already gone to play where they always went.
"The reason we moved was that my husband got a job in the county, so my two children and I moved with him," she explained with a smile.
Liu Xiaohui was even more envious: "That's great, it's in the county, should your household registration be transferred there as well?"
"How could that be possible? It's her husband's job, how could Xiuxiu move?" Chen Jinhua interrupted the topic directly.
