In the past, Song Nanting was always very positive when she heard such news.
But after it happened so many times, she doesn't find it strange anymore.
But Hua Yingyue is different. She hasn't been here for a long time and hasn't seen much of the excitement, so she is getting restless.
Song Nanting said, "You two go and take a look, I'll go with Jian'an to pack it."
The two looked at each other and then went out together.
Song Nanting said to Lu Jianan, "Captain Lu, can you show us your skills?"
"Show me what you can do." Lu Jianan washed his hands and rolled up his sleeves. He took the rolling pin and started rolling the dough quickly. The dough he rolled out was round and beautiful.
Song Nanting was shocked and said, "It's really good."
Lu Jianan laughed, a little proud, "Isn't this basic skill?"
Song Nanting was choked. Lu Jianan had never done this in his previous life.
But Lu Jianan couldn't be blamed. Lu Jianan was in poor health at that time. He ate little and moved little. She didn't want to do anything he did. She just wanted him to feel more comfortable.
Song Nanting softened her heart and said, "Then let's have a bun-making competition?"
"good."
Lu Jianan rolled out a pile of dough, winked at her, and the two of them began to wrap them quickly.
When people concentrate on doing one thing, they tend to forget what is around them. Song Nanting pinched the dough and folded it quickly. After pinching for a while, she looked up at Lu Jianan. Seeing that he was pinching quickly too, she sped up her hands.
After she finished pinching one dough, she looked up and saw Lu Jianan had already taken the second dough and put the stuffing in it. She hurriedly caught up and started wrapping it.
Neither of them spoke, and Song Nanting was too lazy to even look at Lu Jianan.
More than twenty minutes passed and the filling gradually became less. When it came to the last one, Song Nanting quickly picked it up and looked at Lu Jianan proudly.
The two began to count, and Song Nanting won by a narrow margin because of the last one.
Lu Jianan smiled, "You win."
Song Nanting curled her lips and smiled, "Anything to add?"
Lu Jianan thought for a moment and asked, "Give me to you?"
Song Nanting was stunned and said, "Who wants you? What do I need you for?"
The two chatted and laughed as they went to the kitchen to light the stove, poured water into the pot, spread a layer of corn leaves on the grate, and placed the buns one by one. With such a big pot, they could steam more than 20 buns at a time, and if they added a steamer on top, they could steam more than 20 more.
There was no room for the buns, so they had to steam another pot. Song Nanting had a big belly and it was inconvenient for her to squat, so Lu Jianan sat there and made the fire.
Song Nanting sat on a stool and chatted with him, and the noise outside gradually became quieter.
Not long after, Hua Yingyue and Aunt Song came back. As soon as they entered the room, they sighed and said, "Do you know what's going on?"
Song Nanting smiled, "Then let me guess?"
Without waiting for the two to ask, Song Nanting said, "It must be related to Tian Xiao'e, and it is also related to Tian Xiao'e's new partner."
Hearing her guess, Hua Yingyue was surprised, "Were you lying at the door and listening just now?"
Song Nanting shook her head. "No. There's nothing else going on here recently except their family's affairs."
"Then you are really right."
So Aunt Song told her what happened today.
It was just as Song Nanting said. Tian Xiao'e had been in contact with Xu Hongbo since the beginning of the year, and it had been several months. During this period, Xu Hongbo urged her several times to get married earlier. According to Xu Hongbo, they should get the marriage certificate before the beginning of the year, and then the two families would celebrate the New Year together. The matchmaker also thought so. After all, they lived in the same compound, and they knew each other well, so there was no need to delay.
As a result, Tian Xiao'e's eldest son Zhuangzhuang, together with his younger brothers and sisters, rebelled and made all kinds of noise. He also asked Tian Xiao'e not to get married for the time being on the grounds that his father had died less than a year ago.
Tian Xiao'e was also in a difficult situation and could only keep dragging it out.
Then a few days ago, seeing that Tian Xiao'e had no intention of getting married, Xu Hongbo stopped giving her the ten yuan every month. When Tian Xiao'e asked about it, Xu Hongbo said to forget it, as none of his mothers would be happy anyway.
But Tian Xiao'e felt wronged, so she gritted her teeth and agreed to get the certificate.
We had agreed to get the marriage certificate today, but before we got it, we heard that Zhuangzhuang and his brothers and sisters beat up Xu Hongbo's children. In order to avoid being accused of bullying the weak, Zhuangzhuang did not participate and just watched from the side. The three-on-three fight was quite intense. The six children were scratched on their faces and bodies, it was so miserable.
When the two arrived, the children had been pulled apart. Zhuangzhuang turned the tables and Tian Xiao'e got anxious and started arguing with Xu Hongbo.
Xu Hongbo was disappointed when he saw this. She started bullying the children before they even got married. Once they got married, he would often not be at home, and his three children were so young. What good would that do?
Isn’t it Tian Xiao’e who has to do whatever she says?
Originally, he agreed to this because he saw that Tian Xiao'e was timid. Everyone said she was kind and she never said a word when she was bullied by her mother-in-law.
I didn't expect that the emancipated serfs are different now.
Since such experience cannot make the child good, why do we have to find Tian Xiao'e? Wouldn't it be better to just write a letter and ask his mother to find an honest and decent girl for him from his hometown?
So Xu Hongbo directly told Tian Xiaoe his decision. Tian Xiaoe was unhappy and started to make a fuss, thinking that Xu Hongbo was bullying her.
Although Song Nanting knew that it was Tian Xiao'e's business, she didn't expect it to be so lively.
"Then what?"
"Then?" Aunt Song smiled. "People from the Family Committee and the Political Department came. They all said that it's better to destroy ten temples than to destroy a relationship. The people from the Political Department and the Family Committee tried to reconcile. They said that after all, they had been talking for so many days and they were getting along well with each other. It wouldn't be good if the news got out that they just let it go. But Xu Hongbo was not stupid. He told her his concerns. Tian Xiao'e started to cry again about how hard it was for her and how difficult it was to do her job."
