Just as Ji Ling had expected, Zhu Weidong climbed onto the kang with ease. After lying down, he asked Ji Ling if she wanted to cover herself with a blanket.
Ji Ling: She is the outsider.
She said no, her mind was fuzzy and she didn't have the energy to think much, so she fell into a deep sleep.
Zhu Weidong also falls asleep very quickly and his sleeping posture is also very good.
But I was still woken up by the impact in my sleep.
He looked at the extra leg on his body and gently took it off. But after a few minutes, the leg came back on him. He opened his eyes to take a look, then closed them again and let the leg remain on his body.
In the front yard, Ji Ke came back quickly and saw that only his father was there. He asked, "Where are my sister and brother-in-law?"
"One is on the road and the other is working overtime. Let them both take a nap. Your mother won't be home at noon. Go buy some food and I'll cook for you later."
Ji Ke uttered an "oh" and the smile on his face faded a little, "Dad needs to rest, otherwise Dad will guide you from the side and I will do it."
"No, it's just the head that's injured, it won't affect cooking."
Ji Ke then reluctantly agreed and went out with the basket of vegetables.
At the vegetable market, Ji Ke met Tian Jing and Li Hua who were also buying vegetables. Li Hua saw Ji Ke and came over with a smile.
"Why are you here to buy groceries today?"
"My mom is at work, my sister is home, and my dad said he'd make something delicious for lunch."
"Xiaoling is back? How many days can she stay?" Li Hua asked, "When did she get home? Was it not in the morning? I heard someone knocking on your door this morning."
"I just came back this morning." Ji Ke replied with a smile.
"Don't buy food. Tian Jing is going to prepare a feast, right? We'll have it for three days at home. The chef is coming today. I'm here to buy food, too. Go back and tell your dad to come to my house for lunch."
Ji Ke said no, but Li Hua was so enthusiastic that she didn't allow her to refuse, so Ji Ke had no choice but to agree.
It was not until Ji Ke walked back that Tian Jing asked her in a low voice, "Is your sister back? Is your brother-in-law here?"
Ji Ke nodded, "I'm back."
Tian Jing nodded and wanted to ask something, but in the end didn't ask. She reminded Ji Ke not to forget to have the whole family over for lunch at noon.
As soon as Ji Ke left, Li Hua gave his daughter a warning look.
Tian Jing said, "Mom, I didn't ask."
"It's good that you didn't ask. You can see it at lunch time. Besides, you are going to get married, so it's important to live a good life after marriage. You don't need to worry about other people's affairs."
Tian Jing responded.
The day after tomorrow is a serious day. If Ji Ling can show up when she gets married, Liu Zili will be happy, right? Didn't Liu Zili marry her just to piss off Ji Ling? Whenever Tian Jing thought of this, her chest felt blocked.
When Ji Ke got home, he told Ji Yong that Li Hua invited the whole family to dinner. Ji Yong smiled and said, "Okay, then go. But your Aunt Li won't agree. It's a big day, so it's okay to have a few meals."
Ji Ke sat in the yard with her, "Sister and brother-in-law haven't woken up yet? Should we wake them up? We'll go to the Li family for dinner later. There will be a lot of people there, so they need to change their clothes, right?"
At this point, Ji Ke said, "Sister is still wearing the clothes she wore when she left. Didn't she buy any clothes there?"
Ji Yong was stunned for a moment, "Is this the clothes she wore when she was at home?"
Ji Ke nodded, "Yes, it's still that white short-sleeved shirt with seams on the shoulder. I remember it."
Ji Yong remained silent.
Ji Ke bit her lip and said, "I have a new skirt that grandma bought for me. I want to wear it on Tian Jing's wedding day. My sister Fa and I have similar figures, so I'll give it to my sister. Dad can just say it was bought for my sister, not mine. I'm afraid my sister will be unhappy if she finds out."
Ji Yong felt sad when he thought about his daughter going to school in the capital without even a new piece of clothing.
If a child is admitted to university, he or she will be treated like a star. Not only will they get new clothes, but they will also be bought watches.
He said he would be nice to his daughter, but in the end he didn't even buy her a new piece of clothing.
"Dad, don't feel bad. Maybe my sister just couldn't bear to wear new clothes because she was in a hurry. Besides, didn't my sister say that her mother-in-law treats her well? She will definitely buy her clothes."
After hearing this, Ji Yong thought more.
It is said that when a daughter returns home in glory, how could she not wear new clothes? If she doesn’t have any, then she doesn’t have any.
Xiaoke is right. The mother-in-law is from the capital. How could she let her daughter-in-law wear her old clothes when she was a girl? If she didn't buy them, what does that mean? It means that her daughter only reports good news and not bad news. She is not living well in her husband's family.
Ji Ke got up and went back to the house. When she came out, she had a red dress in her hand. She put it directly in Ji Yong's hand and said, "Dad, give this to my sister. Just say you bought it for me."
Ji Yong looked at the bright dress in his hand and could no longer say no.
There were two people sleeping in the backyard. In fact, Zhu Weidong had woken up a long time ago. He did not hear all the previous conversations clearly. He only heard a few words vaguely, which seemed to be about clothes.
When Ji Ke came over to call them, Zhu Weidong woke up Ji Ling.
After Ji Ling woke up, she lazily sat up for a while, "Is it noon so soon?"
"Sister, Aunt Li asked us to go to her house for dinner. Tian Jing is getting married, and her family will be setting up a banquet in the next few days."
Ji Ling responded without asking any further questions.
Ji Ke opened his mouth, but closed it again when he saw this.
When they got to the front yard, Ji Yong pointed at the dress on the table and said, "I bought this for you. Try it on and see if it fits you."
"You bought it for me?"
Zhu Weidong also looked over and glanced at the skirt without saying anything.
"Yes, try it. When you go to Tian's house for dinner later, you can wear this skirt. It will look festive."
"Yes, sister, you should try it. The red one will look good on you."
Ji Ling didn't understand what was going on. She picked up the skirt and took a look at it, and immediately found the problem. The skirt looked obviously too big. Ji Ling had a delicate figure, and when she stood next to Ji Ke, Ji Ke was obviously not a fat person, but compared to Ji Ling, her waist was obviously much thicker.
This should be Ji Ke’s clothes, right?
Ji Ling didn't know what Ji Ke was going to do, but she didn't want to touch Ji Ke's things, let alone touch them. After taking a look at them, she put them back on the table.
"There's no need to try on this skirt. It looks fat on me." Ji Ling said with a smile, "Dad wants me to wear something festive. I can just change into my own skirt before we go to dinner."
"What's yours is yours. This is given to you by your dad. Will it be much fatter?" Ji Yong still insisted.
Ji Ling had a bad idea in her mind, and nodded seriously, "I'm much fatter. My waist is only 1.8 feet, and the waist of this skirt should be at least 2.2 feet, which is 4 centimeters bigger."
Ji Ke, who was standing aside, blushed.
Ji Yong opened his mouth and said, "That's really too fat."
Ji Ling nodded, "Yes, where did Dad buy it? Relatively speaking, this is a large size of clothes."
