"Auntie Tang is such a nice person! I've never met a mother-in-law as open-minded as her!
Those mothers-in-law in our village only know how to torture their daughters-in-law in various ways, fearing that they will be outshined by them!
"Then you must be careful when choosing a husband. Not only should you choose a good man, but you should also choose a good mother-in-law!"
Yi Ru was chewing the skewers and speaking incoherently.
Yi Ru smiled and ignored her. However, Su Yan's eyes became stern and his brows furrowed.
Tang Zhan and Su Xing had almost finished grilling by then, and each of them took two skewers of meat and sat down.
Lan Guoer warmed up a pot of health-preserving wine with hot water and poured a glass for everyone: "It's cold, drink some wine to warm your body."
After a few drinks, everyone quickly became lively.
"Comrade Xiao Lu, are there many female educated youth in your educated youth center?" Chu Ying asked.
"Among the nearby villages, ours has the most female educated youth! Other villages have three or five, but ours has thirteen!"
When talking about this, Lu Jun's tone unconsciously showed a hint of pride.
When Chu Ying heard him say this, he glanced at Su Xing beside him subtly and curled his lips.
"I learned a song from Guo'er last time. Let me sing it to entertain you!"
"Great, great! Chu Ying is the mainstay of the art troupe, and she sings beautifully!"
Yi Ru said this and clapped his hands in support.
Everyone started clapping immediately.
Chu Ying picked up the empty bottle of wine on the table, put it to his lips, closed his eyes, shook his head and sang:
"Sweet, your smile is sweet, like flowers blooming in the spring breeze, blooming in the spring breeze..."
The small courtyard, which was bustling just now, suddenly became quiet.
Only her melodious singing voice was left flowing and echoing.
It was the first time that Su Xing looked at the girl straight in the eye.
Perhaps because she had drunk some wine, her cheeks were flushed and her long eyelashes were trembling slightly. Her lips were very plump, and as they opened and closed, the song flowed out slowly.
Su Xing couldn't help but mutter in his heart: This woman is not so annoying when she is quiet!
After singing the song, Chu Ying was breathing slightly, and his eyes were still a little blurry.
"Sister Chu Ying, you sing so well!" Lan Guoer praised sincerely.
"This song is really nice! Don't you think so?" Lu Jun patted Su Xing's shoulder and asked.
Su Xing raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said softly: "It's really good."
Although Su Xing's voice was very soft, Chu Ying still heard it.
She felt very happy and glanced at Su Xing secretly, and happened to meet his gaze.
Her face suddenly turned red to her ears, and she hurriedly picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
She seemed to have suddenly found a way to get along with this man.
There was wine, meat and singing. In this era, these young people stole half a day of leisure from their busy lives and spent a wonderful and unforgettable weekend.
Today is Su Xing and Lu Jun’s last day of vacation. Although the snow has stopped, the roads are still very slippery. After dinner, everyone wants to go back.
"Third brother, you didn't fall behind in your high school courses, did you?"
Before leaving, Lan Guoer looked at Su Xing. She knew that they were very busy with business recently and was worried that he would neglect his studies because he was only focused on business.
"Don't worry! I'm reading every night! I won't fall behind."
Su Xing said this, touched her head reluctantly, turned around and walked forward.
Tang Zhan, Yi Ru and Chu Ying were on the same way, so they started their journey home together under Lan Guoer's gaze.
Parting is always a bit sad. After they left, Lan Guoer felt that the weather had become a little colder!
She tightened her coat around her and walked into the house with her arms around her body.
"Time flies by so fast! Chinese New Year is only a little over a month away. Usually at this time, we'd still be staying indoors for the winter!"
Mother Tang looked at the snow scene outside the window and said to Old Lady Lan.
"Guo'er's mother-in-law, I think you miss home." Old Lady Lan patted Xiao Ling who had just fallen asleep and smiled.
"It would be a lie to say I don't miss you! There are still a whole house of people at home, old and young.
The third child's family also gave birth to a baby not long ago, just half a month later than Xiao Ling and the other two. I wonder how the baby is being raised now?
And my old man always gets joint pains in the winter. We have some plasters that Guoer left at home, but I wonder if he knows how to apply them?"
Lan Guoer walked out the door and happened to hear the conversation between the two in the room.
Yes, a house of gold and silver is not as good as your own thatched nest! No matter how good the conditions here are, for Tang's mother, her hometown in Heilongjiang Province is her root.
If Tang Zhan hadn't gone on a mission and then moved, according to Tang's mother's plan, she should have been in her hometown by now.
It was they who interrupted Tang's mother's plans again and again.
Lan Guoer pushed open the door. Mother Tang and Old Lady Lan heard the noise and looked towards her.
Tang's mother asked, "Have all the friends left?"
Wen Guoer nodded, glanced at the three children sleeping soundly in the crib, and said to Tang's mother:
"Mom, if you miss home, why don't you go back before the New Year?
The three children are still young this year, so Tang Zhan and I probably won’t be able to go back for the Spring Festival!
With Grandma and Qinghe helping me here, I should be able to take care of it. Wait until you have settled your family affairs, then come over with Dad."
"You kid! Did you hear me talking to your grandma?" Tang's mother glanced at her with a frown and sighed.
"Mom is worried about home, but you're right. If I go back early and take care of things at home, I'll feel at ease!"
Seeing that Tang's mother had made the decision, Lan Guoer did not delay and called Master Wu to ask him to help buy a sleeper ticket.
Sleeper tickets are hard to buy during this period!
Not only do you need a public letter of introduction, but your rank is also important. If you don't have a high enough rank, you can't buy it.
There is naturally no problem with the identities of Mr. Su and Su's father, but it is not as convenient as Mr. Wu's!
As the boss of the national black market, he might have it ready-made!
Sure enough, Mr. Wu sent someone to deliver the train tickets in the afternoon.
"Mom, I got the ticket. The train is at 10 o'clock the day after tomorrow morning." Lan Guoer walked into the house with the ticket.
"real?"
Tang's mother excitedly took the ticket and praised with a smile, "Your uncle Wu is really efficient!"
The next day, Lan Guoer went out for a while and came back with a lot of bags.
She placed the things on the table in the main hall and said to Tang's mother, "Mom, this is what I prepared for my family. Please take it with you when you come."
Tang's mother went forward and opened them one by one.
Two roast ducks, two buckets of milk powder, a cashmere coat each for her and Old Man Tang, and a new cotton coat for each family member.
There was also a military coat for Tang's mother to wear when she was on the road.
