"Didn't you hear Deputy Director Luo say that he doesn't care about his children's marriages? As long as they like someone, that's fine. They have to have a chance to meet someone."
"That's true, but the only one I can get in touch with is the fourth brother, who works all day and is not in the family compound. The third brother is in the army and rarely comes home."
"In a few days, Deputy Director Luo's daughter should be back. I wonder which boy will be lucky enough to marry her."
"I heard that he is still studying, but it's still early."
At this time, someone whispered, "I ran into Deputy Director Luo's ex-wife on the street a few days ago. She is not as glamorous as before. She seems to have aged several years."
"She is such a troublemaker. She has to make trouble for the sake of a good life. Deputy Director Luo is so unlucky. How could he meet such an unreasonable ex-wife?"
"Who says it's not true? I wonder who is lucky enough to marry Deputy Director Luo?"
"Deputy Director Luo said before that I will just take care of the kids from now on."
"But Deputy Director Luo is still young, and he looks young. If he stands in front of people now, he would probably be in his thirties."
"Ah, if I find another troublemaker, I'm afraid my life will not be as comfortable as it is now. Besides, my sons are all of marriageable age, and it will be hard to be a stepmother-in-law."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense. Deputy Director Luo has already said that he doesn't consider remarriage. You are still talking about these useless things. I really admire you."
The crowd of spectators finally shut up and got back to work.
~~~~~~~~~~ In Ji City, everyone in the Wang family who lived next door to Luo Qiao had a sad look on their faces, because the Wang family's son was caught gambling, and the factory fired him when they found out. Now the son has lost his job, and there is still such a large family living at home.
The daughter-in-law Wu Hongyue also said that her salary was only enough to support her own family, and if they did not agree, she would take the children back to her parents' home.
The elder sister-in-law Wang Aijuan now feels a little regretful. If she had known earlier, she should have brought her family back first, settled down, and then brought her mother-in-law and brother-in-law's family over. Now her mother's family is having a hard time, and she feels a little guilty.
The Chinese New Year is just a few days away, and it is impossible to let my mother-in-law and my brother-in-law's family go back. But if they don't go back, they don't know when they can settle down. There are so many mouths to feed, and now my brother has lost his job.
Wang Aiguo also felt a little resentful towards his eldest sister. If she hadn't brought people back, everything would be fine at home, and they had never had any quarrels with the neighbors over the years. But ever since his eldest sister came back with a large family, those children would always offend some neighbor.
My wife and I have been apologizing to many people recently, and we have almost offended everyone in this alley.
Normally he doesn't have a big gambling addiction and only plays once in a while. He now suspects that someone is playing tricks on him. Otherwise, nothing had happened before. Why did it happen on that day? He was unlucky enough to encounter a crackdown. If he hadn't had good relationships with people in the factory, he would have had to go to jail this time.
~~~~ Luo Qiao directed her cousin to pick and wash the vegetables, stir-fry the soup base by herself, and then cut the beef and mutton. There was sesame paste and chives at home, but unfortunately there was no fermented tofu. When the three of them had almost prepared the dishes together, grandpa and grandma also came back.
Grandpa found a small stove, lit it, put the pot on, and just as he had brought all the dishes over and placed them on the table, the eldest brother, the second brother, and Shitou came back.
As soon as Shitou entered the room, he knew it was a hot pot restaurant, and he walked over with a smile: "Sister, are we having hot pot today?"
Luo Qiao scratched his nose: "What a dog's nose."
Everyone laughed. Luo Qiao looked at her eldest and second brothers as they approached and asked, "How are the ladies and aunties in the family compound? Did they welcome you warmly?"
Luo Xuyan said: "If we knew it was like that, we would have waited for you to go back together. It's just that everyone is too enthusiastic and we can't stand it."
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The pot was boiling, and Luo Xuyuan and others washed their hands and came over.
Luo Qiao looked at Luo Xuyuan and said, "Second brother, I guess the aunties and grandmas are now talking about matchmaking for you." After saying that, she laughed foolishly.
Luo Xuyuan said: "Stop making trouble and eat your meal well."
