Chapter 7

"Sister-in-law, the sun is out outside today, have you seen it?" Chen Guilan put her hands in her pockets and pushed the door open with her shoulder. Before she saw anyone, she shouted towards the house.

"I saw it. It was hanging on the ceiling for a while and then disappeared." Hu Xiu was changing Guo Guo's pants and said without turning his head when he heard it.

Over the years, Chen Guilan has become accustomed to her sister-in-law's meticulous work style. She would honestly stand at the door and clean the snow and mud off her shoes before taking off her shirt and walking into the house.

When he saw the person, he immediately frowned and snorted: "Look, someone who doesn't know would think that the herb is a panacea."

Hu Xiu rolled her eyes at her and said, "Speak properly."

Chen Guilan curled her lips: "Am I wrong? You just got the news a day ago, and you're in a good mood right away."

She spends every day with that silly girl Meihua, but she never sees anything good happen to her. It's so annoying.

Hu Xiu knew very well that her second sister-in-law was being petty again.

But her health had already been almost restored, so why would she do this just for her daughter-in-law?

But she was too lazy to argue with him, so she simply leaned over and handed Guoguo, who had just changed his pants, to him: "Help me keep an eye on something small, because I just wet my pants without even taking a look."

As soon as these words were spoken, before Zhang Guilan could respond, Guoguo, who was sitting in the arms of her second aunt, stopped doing it.

The three-year-old kid already had a sense of shame. He protested in a baby voice: "It wasn't me who wanted to pee, it was the little bird's own idea. It didn't listen, Guoguo, be good."

The little guy was well-raised, he was fair and chubby, with big dark eyes like grapes. When he looked at people with a wronged look on his face, it was so heartbreaking.

Not only Hu Xiu burst out laughing, but even Chen Guilan didn't care about pinching her finger, she picked up the child and kissed him hard: "Yes, yes, don't cry, auntie's Guoguo, Guoguo is right, it's the little bird that is disobedient, your grandma is talking nonsense."

Guoguo was satisfied: "Grandma was wrong."

Chen Guilan smiled so hard that her teeth were showing, "Yes, you are wrong."

"Don't teach the child nonsense." Hu Xiu smiled, then got off the kang, holding his urine-soaked pants and prepared to wash them.

Miaomiao, who didn't want to keep playing with puppets, glanced at her twin brother. She didn't understand the elders' white lies at all and said bluntly, "Guoguo just wet the bed."

After being ruthlessly ruined by her sister, little Guoguo, who had just been coaxed into silence, became speechless again.

Seeing this, Hu Xiu had no reaction yet, but Chen Guilan, who was particularly fond of the twins, could no longer sit still and got off the kang with the baby in her arms to look for candy.

Just as he took out two candies from the jar, a familiar voice came from outside the house: "Is Aunt Xiu in the house?"

Chen Guilan frowned and muttered, "Why is the eldest daughter of the Wang family here again?"

The two houses are not adjacent to each other, one is at the head of the village, the other is in the middle of the village. It's snowing heavily outside, it doesn't look like this is the bustling scene, right?

Hu Xiu didn't understand either, but since the guest came, it would be bad to just close the door and ignore him, so he signaled his sister-in-law to open the door.

Chen Guilan usually doesn't have a good face towards those who come to watch the fun.

She opened the door, raised her slender eyelids, and looked the man up and down.

It was not until the other person shuddered from the cold that he slowly moved half of his body away: "Is it Qin girl? Your aunt Xiu is in the room, come in."

Wang Xiuqin pretended not to notice Aunt Guilan's unhappiness and quickly went into the house.

I didn’t want to stay outside in the cold for too long, so as soon as I entered the house, I sneezed twice because of the warmth inside.

Seeing this, before Hu Xiu could even frown, Chen Guilan exploded.

She took two steps back, but it was not enough. She leaned over to let the child in her arms move aside, and then said unhappily, "Qin girl, what's wrong with you? You are running around with a cold. Don't you know that my sister-in-law is not in good health and there are two little kids in the house?"

"How could that be? I was hit by the heat. If I really caught a cold, I wouldn't dare come over." Wang Xiuqin was not really 20 years old. She had been fighting wits and courage with her in-laws for ten years. She didn't care about these two painless jabs at all. She took off her clothes and hung them at the door, laughed a few more words, and then walked into the house.

Unexpectedly, Chen Guilan reached out again: "Hey, hey, hey, you are a grown-up girl, why are you so sloppy? You don't even clean your shoes before entering the house, don't let my sister-in-law step on them and make them dirty."

The smile on Wang Xiuqin's face froze and she looked down at her feet.

In fact, her shoes were not very dirty, because she had stomped her feet on them when someone knocked on the door just now.

Thinking of this, she glanced at Aunt Guilan's shoes again...they were indeed very clean, in sharp contrast to her own.

But she has been entering the house like this recently. Why didn’t she say anything before, but picked on me today?

But then again, the floor was indeed clean. After all, it was the only house in the village paved with red bricks, except for the old secretary's.

Tsk tsk tsk... The Huo family is rich. Not to mention the tens of dollars in allowance that Huo Xiao receives every month, even Aunt Xiu's midwifery skills, which are famous throughout the area, are a golden egg that can make money.

Looking at the exquisite furnishings in this room, I'm afraid this is the condition of the officials in the city.

Even though she had lived ten more years, she had never seen anyone richer than the Huo family.

But then she changed her mind and thought that as long as she could successfully marry into the family, all these good things would be hers, and Wang Xiuqin's unhappiness instantly disappeared.

Not only that, she also retreated to the door with an apologetic look on her face and cleaned her shoes carefully.

Chen Guilan...

Chen Guilan, who had a heart as small as a needle tip and felt ignored, felt her hair stand on end and she immediately entered a fighting state.

Wang Xiuqin, completely unaware that she was being targeted, entered the house again.

After finally getting on the stool, she quickly took out two hard candies from her pocket and handed them to the boy with a smile: "This is Guoguo, right? Auntie brought you some candy."

Chen Guilan raised her hand to block him: "You don't even have a candy wrapper, you put it in your pocket and touch it with your hands, don't let the child get sick."

Wang Xiuqin...

Is it over yet?!

Whose loose sugar is not like this?

This is a rare thing!!!

Chengdu.

Bid farewell to the sisters-in-law who saw me off warmly.

Under the escort of guard Xiao Zhang, Tingting boarded the train to Shanghai.

Maybe it's time for luck to change.

During the four-day and three-night journey, none of the passengers in the same carriage had stinky feet.

After celebrating, Ruting couldn't help but laugh at herself for being easily satisfied.

Sure enough, people's sense of happiness is revealed through comparison.

In the past, she would have complained bitterly after lying on the hard and narrow bed for three or four days.

But considering the tough and strange experience of sitting on the hard seat on the way here, the return journey can be described as comfortable.

Especially there are the books left by Huo Xiao to pass the time.

So much so that a few days later, when the train conductor used the loudspeaker to announce that each carriage was about to arrive at the Shanghai station, Ting Ting was still somewhat unresponsive.

What made her even more grateful was that when she got on the train, the security guard Xiao Zhang specifically greeted the train conductor.

She said she was a military wife and asked the other party to help her when she arrived at the Shanghai Railway Station.

As a result, the two bags that seemed quite a burden to Li Ting were taken away directly by the train attendant, and she was not even allowed to share one of them.

I have to say that most people in this era are passionate and simple.

The phrase "serve the people" is almost engraved in their bones.

Also at this moment.

Ruting suddenly felt that perhaps she shouldn't look at this place with such a critical eye.

After all, apart from the difficulties at the beginning, everything is moving in a good direction.

Moreover, only by accepting the new world and new identity from the bottom of her heart can she live a better life.

So, after thinking it through, Ting Ting was in the mood to go shopping.

She put her luggage at the guesthouse where she came from.

I also asked the enthusiastic waitress, Ms. Liu, which places in Shanghai do not require tickets for shopping.

Then he set off towards the department store at a brisk pace.

Daily necessities cannot be interrupted.

Just like Sister Fengying said, it’s rare to take a long journey, and we don’t know when the next time will be.

When we returned to Xiangyang Brigade, some of the supplies we wanted to buy were not available.

As for how to explain the fact that I bought a lot of stuff while going to a funeral, I can only think about it slowly on the way back...

Now the only thing that bothers Tingting is her original family.

I wonder if he will notice her difference?

When I think about it this way, getting married seems like a good idea.

At least you don't have to stay with your close ones for a long time.

Time doesn't stop for anyone.

No matter how uneasy you are, you still have to meet each other eventually.

Another three days of driving.

When the train drove into the train station in the ice city covered with white snow.

Before she got off the train, she saw her brothers standing on the platform and looking towards the carriage from a distance.

The original body had five brothers and sisters, and she was the fourth.

I have two older brothers, an older sister, and a younger brother.

She didn't expect both of her brothers to come.

In my memory, compared to my honest and kind eldest brother, my second brother has always been very cunning.

Although she was frightened, she could only bite the bullet and wave at the two of them from the window.

It didn't snow in Ice City today, but it was windy.

Standing in an environment of minus twenty degrees Celsius, with only a pair of eyes exposed, Lu Wei was frozen by the cold wind and stomped his feet back and forth to keep warm.

Fortunately, this suffering was not in vain, the dead girl really came back.

He nudged his elder brother, who was still looking around, with his arm: "Brother, Tingting is over there."

Having said that, he walked towards his sister's compartment with a dark face.

It would be strange if I could have a good face!

God knows, after learning that his sister had run away with the money, Rui Wei went to Huo's house to check her things.

When he discovered that in addition to the clothes and money, all the letters from his ex-girlfriend, who had been treasured by his sister, were gone, he felt dizzy.

If his sister hadn't called him in time, Lai Wei would have gone to find her classmates to ask for the address and then go to Tibet in person to arrest the man.

Unexpectedly, his inference was wrong.

but!

Even if he really went to my brother-in-law's troops, it cannot be easily forgiven!

Doesn’t that dead girl have a mouth?

If you want to go, will you ask him to accompany you?

Whose death is she worried about?

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!

The more I think about it, the angrier I get!!

Wei pushed aside the good-natured elder brother who was already laughing, and with a stern face, he stretched out his hand to his younger sister: "From under the window."

Ruting glanced at the crowded crowd, followed the local customs, dropped her package, and then started to climb up to the window.

After being half-carried and placed on the ground, before I could say anything, I felt a pain on my cheek.

The man pulled off his gloves, grabbed his sister's face and pulled her out: "You little bitch, are you scary? I thought you were going to look for that guy."

Ruting also has a biological brother, who was born after her mother became pregnant unexpectedly and paid a fine.

She had been bullied by her brother by pinching her face since she was a child, and she even had an instinctive reaction to it.

No, when the familiar pain came, Li Ting instantly forgot the strangeness and awkwardness, and subconsciously frowned and took a photo.

As soon as he raised his hand, he was shocked by the other party's words.

Seeing this, Lu Wei, who was exposed, narrowed his peach blossom eyes, which were very similar to hers, and asked in a scrutinizing manner, "Am I right?"

Although she was clearly a victim, her eyes still glanced away with a guilty conscience...
