Hua Xiangyun and her husband are good in every way, except they don't know how to manage their finances, Tian Guihua thought to herself.
Although they said they lived with their grandson and the others, it was actually Xiangyun and the others who truly gave the most.
Xiangyun took care of everything at home, from the meat and vegetables to the clothes on the elderly couple. She was just lucky to have found Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi is generous and doesn't care about these things. If she were in another family, she would be treated differently if she were to be so affectionate towards her parents' family.
The elderly couple privately told Xiangyun to live a good life and not worry about the family, but the young girl said that they raised her when she was young, and she would take care of them when they were old, which did not conflict with taking care of her family.
Besides, these things are easily obtained by her, and the two of them can't finish them all, so why not show filial piety to the elderly?
"Then I bought some local specialties from Beijing. You can take some over later." Looking at all the fresh meat, Tian Guihua felt a little guilty accepting it all because Jiang Yin had bought it for the young couple. She turned around and went back to rummage through her luggage, taking a box of pastries and two bottles of Moutai liquor.
“This is a token of our appreciation from your grandfather and me. Please take it over for us and tell them that once our house is all set up in a couple of days, we'd like them to come over for a get-together.”
Jiang Yi has no other elders, so he treats his aunt's family as in-laws and observes the proper etiquette.
Hua Xiangyun immediately reached out and took it. If she didn't accept it, the old lady probably wouldn't enjoy her meal today. "Alright, then Jiang Yi and I will be leaving now. You're working too hard."
Hua Xiangyun glanced up at the few pieces of cured meat hanging in the corner, then slowly looked away. Since her wife was no longer going to leave bad things to entertain her nephew and niece-in-law, she decided to keep quiet.
I noticed that they've even set up a sales department outside the factory, preparing to promote their products nationwide; otherwise, with so few workers, they'd really be starving.
Because very few work units in Heping County are building welfare housing, we would live in large apartment buildings instead of those courtyard houses.
Hua Xiangyun, “…” Steamed egg custard is that Da Zi’s favorite, how could I think of anything else?
"Is it still very busy outside the factory?" Jiang Yin continued the conversation.
Hua Xiangyun walked over and took the things from Jiang Yin's hands. "We should let the child leave the room and have a cup of tea before asking questions. He's like a machine gun, how can he not have a few questions?"
“Such a small factory, is it really necessary?” Jiang Yi urged Yang Guoqing to eat. “Besides, the current factory director hasn’t been replaced yet, and he looks less decisive than the old director who will be in the future.”
Afterwards, because of the house issue, Hua Xiangyun hadn't fallen out with the Yang family yet. This year, we gathered together for the Spring Festival, but it was just a few of us, so it was inevitably a bit quiet.
Wei Gongmeng: "I hope so."
“Okay, it’s just that our Yang Fan is greedy,” Jiang Yi argued with me. “When you’re done cooking, make me some steamed egg custard and see if I still think about that thing.”
“That idea is bad,” Jiang Yi immediately agreed. “During the Lunar New Year, people don’t visit relatives and friends. If they do, it will be quiet.”
From the moment he stepped out of his home, he started pointing fingers and making pronouncements; his mouth never stopped.
"Once that wave is over, there will be no more holidays. Even when you're busy, it's still a break. Anyway, it's been intermittent. I feel like the benefits outside the factory are not as good as they were a few years ago."
Jiang Yin saw the scene as she stood at the door and called out, "Aunt, Uncle, you're back!"
By the way, they'll probably spend the Lunar New Year there this year; they're too lazy to cook here.
"It's just our small family coming in; it would be so much more lively and quiet if it were just a few of you."
Hua Xiangyun was sitting outside in the yard watching Yang Fan play with the mechanical frog, while Wei Gong moved a large stool and sat in the corner picking vegetables. "Does he know that Ayi and we've arrived yet?"
Wei Gong agreed, and seeing another person outside the house, he asked, "Where's your sister?"
Hua Xiangyun was the one who wasn't greedy at all. I pointed to my grandson, who was still lying on the ground playing, and said, "It was our Yang Fan who got greedy, and that's why you heard me call for meat..."
The bastard can stop nagging all day long, and you'll get some peace and quiet, which will also ease your anxiety.
Anyway, it's just between my aunt and niece. We're all family, so even if we make a fool of ourselves, we're all in the same boat.
When did you arrive? Was the journey smooth?
Hua Xiangyun hadn't yet thought about that foolish woman. Those who were so excited knew what they had said. There were always people who brought gifts and then asked them to take them back. They could at least return something of equal value.
Xun Liangfen, “…” He should tell his grandmother to talk more, as she would get thirsty.

"It should be in those two days," Wei Gongmeng had heard Wei Gong say a lot about it those days. "He just went to look at the house yesterday. What if he waits until after dinner to go take another look?"
“Yes, yes, yes, look at your memory,” Jiang Yi hurriedly took the bag from Yang Guoqing’s hand. “Why did you carry so little? There’s nothing outside the house. We’ll carry it back later.”
As for whether they'll still be envious of our courtyard house in the future, our family's mindset has changed now.
Those two were good-for-nothings before, and we really want to offend them.
Life is much better for every household now than it will be in the future. Even the city is now in a semi-relaxed state, and some supplies are plentiful.
After carrying their things back to their own yard, the two tidied up a bit more before heading out with bags and packages.
Yang Family
But my gesture was more effective than silence, and Wei Gong laughed angrily, "Don't give him that look, it makes it seem like you're being harsh on him."
As soon as Jiang Yi saw Jiang Yin and the others, he forgot all about the groceries in his hands, threw them out of the basket, and stood up excitedly, saying, "You're back! You were just saying you'd go take another look after dinner."
Wei Gongmeng said, "We're getting all the orders, how could our benefits be bad?"
"Okay, let's be careful with what we eat for lunch. You can just get some noodles," Jiang Yi said.
Jiang Yi deftly put the things away, then poured out a plate of melon seeds and melon slices from outside the cabinet. "You're working outside the factory today, so you have to be on duty here. You're back for dinner."
Xiangyun and her husband are really something. They saw the chaos outside their house and instead of helping out, they went to visit other people's neighbors...
Yang Guoqing glanced at Jiang Yin and immediately agreed readily, "No problem. We'll eat out at their place for one day and then eat at your place for one day. That way, it'll be quieter when we're moving around."
I scooped up my eldest grandson and led him to the main room. “It’s just that no one gave you some tea leaves recently, so let’s brew some tea.”
Wei Gongmeng knows your thoughts, and even if she does, she will still pay attention to them.
Hua Xiangyun said that, and we also expected Jiang Yin to say it.
Yang Guoqing also called for help, and the two of them, carrying their belongings, stepped out the door.
A few days later, I finally cooked chicken for them. We had to live frugally without any planning.
The neighbor who wasn't involved in this incident glanced at it less, but still said something.
Oh well, noodles it is. At least it's not as bad as the days to come.
