He smiled and declined Yu Mingxiang's offer to stay, saying, "It's getting dark, Aunt Yu and Aunt Mei, you should go back and eat! I'm heading back to town now, and I'll come back tomorrow to deliver the medicinal herbs and pick up more goods."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingxiang had no choice but to give up.
On the contrary, Mei Fang, who was wearing a cheongsam and had a small pregnant belly, was quite satisfied with Zhao Dashuai's tactful actions.
"You're not bad, kid."
She complimented him, then tossed a small goldfish over her shoulder, saying, "This is to buy you cigarettes!"
Commander Zhao: "!!!"
He accepted the little goldfish with a flattered expression and thanked her with a smile.
"Thank you, Aunt Mei!"
"Aunt Mei, just tell me what you want, and I'll bring it to you."
Mei Fang waved her hand.
She ate and slept at Sister Yu's house. Sister Yu always thought of everything for her, so she didn't have to worry about anything.
She praised Commander Zhao so highly because she saw how diligently he helped Sister Yu.
Yu Mingxiang: ...
Smiling at Mei Fang's actions, he saw off Commander Zhao and went home with Mei Fang.
That night.
Xuancao, who was originally taking care of the baby with Grandma Gu that night, left. Yu Mingxiang was worried that Grandma Gu was too old to take care of the baby alone, so she said, "Mom, I'll sleep with you tonight, and we'll take care of the baby together."
Upon hearing this, Grandma Gu quickly waved her hand.
"No need, no need!"
She said, "You're so busy all day long, how can you have the energy to take care of Tuanzi at night?"
"Besides, Tuanzi is easy to take care of at night. I only need to feed him once in the middle of the night and change his diaper once, and he can stay up until dawn. I can take care of him by myself, and I don't need your help!"
As she spoke, Grandma Gu picked up the little dumpling and walked away quickly.
Yu Mingxiang: "..."
It's often said that marrying the right mother-in-law is more important than marrying the right man. That's a very true saying...
It's really true!
Her mother-in-law is the best mother-in-law in the world!
Not only did he help her take care of her grandson, but he also helped her manage the household, and most importantly...
Her grandson is not her great-grandson.
Yu Mingxiang...
She went back into the house and took out the blue floral fabric she had bought from the supply and marketing cooperative, and started making clothes for her mother-in-law.
My daughter is gone.
Gu Guanhai followed him.
She felt empty inside, and since she couldn't sleep anyway, she might as well make clothes for her mother-in-law.
The blue floral-patterned jacket was one she had borrowed from her neighbor.
Yu Mingxiang drew the design according to the old lady's measurements, and then slightly modified the style to make it look better and more comfortable. Then, she took out a piece of gray striped fabric and cut a pair of pants for her mother-in-law.
Next, it's time to sew the clothes.
In those days, although sewing machines existed, ordinary families still mostly wore clothes they sewed themselves.
It's both close-fitting and saves money.
Yu Mingxiang is not short of money. The reason she made clothes for her mother-in-law by hand was firstly to make her mother-in-law comfortable to wear, and secondly because she was truly grateful to her mother-in-law.
If it weren't for her mother-in-law, she would have had to take care of the little rabbit by herself after her eldest son and daughter-in-law went to the Northwest.
Humans only have two hands.
With her grandson by her side, she doesn't have to think about doing anything else.
Her mother-in-law helped her achieve her career goals.
That night.
Under the bright electric light, Yu Mingxiang quietly sewed clothes.
The fine stitches extended little by little in her hands.
Until very late.
The next day.
As usual, Yu Mingxiang got up early to cook. At the same time...
Thousands of miles away, Gu Guanhai and Xuancao arrived in Beijing.
As soon as the two got off the train, they saw Ji Zicheng leading several upright young men toward them.
"Boss!"
Ji Zicheng stepped forward, saluted, and said, "The car is already waiting outside. Let us get the luggage!"
As he spoke, he familiarly took Xuancao's luggage, grinned at her, and said, "Sister-in-law, it's been a long time."
Upon hearing this, Xuancao said, "..."
