Two days before the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Yan family was extremely lively.
Because they sent the mooncakes they made and packaged by themselves to some familiar families in the compound, everyone knew that they were tinkering with delicious food at home.
So, except for the old couple of the Jin family, several old men and women from the Hao family, the Lin family, the He family... all gathered at the Yan family.
There were only two young people at home, Yan Ziyuan and Song Fuyu, and they were very busy.
Song Fuyu led them to cook, and Yan Ziyuan was responsible for helping them and serving them tea and water, and he was very busy.
"You really made the right choice in marrying this grandson's wife. Looking across the entire compound, I really can't find anyone as capable as your fourth daughter-in-law."
"She can take care of everything for you, including food, daily necessities and clothes. How come those boys in our family don't have the good fortune to marry such a good girl?"
When talking about this, the old ladies are even more envious.
In the past, they paid more attention to matching each other's social status. The appearance of Song Fuyu broke their traditional concepts to a certain extent.
Being well matched is important, but it seems that not having a considerate and lovely person can make people feel comfortable.
In addition to daily chores, the fourth daughter-in-law is also able to make money. If she were a boy, she would be able to rise on her own, support a new family, and carve out a niche for herself in the huge city of Beijing.
It turns out that the Yan family had their reasons for choosing this granddaughter-in-law who had no background at all.
"It's all about personal fate. It depends on whether the two of them like each other."
Xiao Yu was not chosen by them for Ziyuan, but he chose her as his wife himself.
..........
The Mid-Autumn Festival happened to fall on Saturday, and after breakfast, the younger generations of the Yan family came back to the compound from all over the capital to celebrate the festival together.
"Grandpa, Grandma, we are back..."
Before Yan Chengzhou finished saying "click", he saw his fourth uncle standing at the door with a stern expression.
"Hello, Fourth Uncle, Happy Mid-Autumn Festival~"
"Um!"
The three children from Second Brother Yan's family greeted Yan Ziyuan and ran inside in a hurry, as if there were ghosts chasing them.
“Huh~”
"Fourth Uncle is so scary. I feel like he might punch me at any time."
“I feel the same way.”
"By the way, how come Fourth Uncle is back? Doesn't he rarely come back during the New Year and other holidays?"
"Are you stupid? It's because Fourth Aunt is at home, otherwise he wouldn't have come back."
"I still hope he doesn't come back. He's scarier than grandpa."
"Shh! If he hears us, he will definitely beat us."
Yan Ziyuan was just standing at the door and wanted to say hello to everyone. If he had known that the three little guys had imagined so many things, he would rather stick to his wife.
"Old Four, now that you've married your wife, are you no longer busy in the army?"
Yan Ziyi hugged his younger brother's shoulders in a friendly manner. The fourth brother has changed a lot since his marriage.
"No matter how busy you are, you have to spend the holidays with your family."
“Tsk tsk~~”
"It's so strange that such words can come out of your mouth, Yan Ziyuan."
Since he joined the army, he has almost never come back during the Mid-Autumn Festival every year, and every time he says he is very busy.
"If you don't speak out, there's no point in asking for the truth."
The two stood at the door and talked for a while, and the third brother Yan Zihao and his family also came over.
"Old Three, what are you busy with?"
"In the past, your family was the most active during the holidays, but this year you fell behind. My little sister and her family were the farthest away and have already arrived for quite some time."
"Xiaoyu caught a cold from a classmate at school a few days ago and has a stomachache."
"Let Second Uncle take a look. Are you feeling better now?"
Yan Ziyi picked up his little niece who was lying on the ground with a sad expression.
"I still feel a little uncomfortable, just a little bit, don't worry, Second Uncle."
"Come with your brother to the kitchen to find your aunt. She has made a lot of delicious food. Eat more and your cold will get better faster."
"Did my fourth brother's wife prepare something delicious? I must go and take a look."
Yan Ziyi did not put Xiaoyu down, but carried her to the kitchen.
"When are you going to return to Lu City this time?"
"The flight is the day after tomorrow morning."
"I heard that your wife has passed the driving test and is planning to buy a car?"
"Well, the car is already going through the approval process."
"ox!"
"After living for thirty years, I suddenly realized that I am not as good as a girl who is less than twenty years old. Your wife is really amazing."
Yan Zihao heard about this from his friend at the Traffic Management Bureau. No wonder the old man and his father doted on this younger sister-in-law so much. She was indeed much better than the average person.
Although Dad never showed his love for her openly, it was obvious from the fact that he often helped my fourth brother and his wife solve various problems.
Among the other juniors, except Ziyuan, none of them were treated as well as she was.
"Being with a daughter-in-law who is so capable, it must be quite stressful, right?"
Yan Ziyuan smiled and said nothing.
He may not have felt any pressure before, but ever since he found out about his wife's big secret, the pressure has almost suffocated him.
Many people in the compound said that Xiaoyu was not worthy of him...it can only be said that they only looked at the surface.
The gap between him and his wife can no longer be described as a distance of 10,800 miles. There are 50 years between them, and he cannot catch up with her even if he takes a plane.
"It's okay, don't be discouraged, work hard!"
Yan Zihao patted his shoulder sympathetically and went into the house.
The fourth child had always been the proudest person in the family, but now he has finally met his match, and his match is his lover... It's not easy...
..........
Song Fuyu, who was helping Mrs. Liu in the kitchen, was surrounded by more than a dozen children. After they finished eating the snacks she had made over the past few days, they all clamored for her to make them together.
"Don't worry, wait until we finish lunch and then Fourth Aunt will take you all together, okay? We need to prepare lunch now, otherwise there will be nothing to eat at noon."
"We can make mooncakes! Mooncakes are delicious!"
"I like to eat that little cake. I think it's the most delicious."
“The cookies are the best!”
......
The kitchen was in chaos due to the children's quarrel.
“Ahem~”
Hearing the cough, the children in the kitchen suddenly became quiet. No one dared to speak or look towards the door.
In the end, it was Song Fuyu who helped them out.
"Most of the snacks are on the coffee table in the living room. Chengzhou, take your brothers and sisters over to eat."
"Oh, by the way, there are some snow skin mooncakes in the freezer. Take them out and thaw them for half an hour."
"No one should eat too much, you hear me?"
“Yes.”
They tried their best to avoid running into Yan Ziyuan and walked out of the kitchen carefully.
"Look at you, you're so serious. The kids are so scared of you."
Song Fuyu gave him a joking look.
“This is them.”
"If we have children in the future, I will definitely remain as serious as ever with my son, but I will spoil my daughter."
“Why are men and women still treated differently?”
"certainly."
"Don't you say that sons should be raised in poverty and daughters in wealth? Boys have thicker skin and flesh, so it doesn't matter if they are a little rough."
He hoped that their daughter would look like Xiao Yu so that he could witness Xiao Yu's growth. Facing such a lovely little girl, how could he be so cruel as to look stern at her?
