Su Jingjing smiled gently, "Sister-in-law, I'm not an outsider. You can tell me anything."
Perhaps it was because her sister-in-law's smile was so infectious that Dong Qin blurted out everything.
Su Jingjing stirred the vegetables in the pan and replied to Dong Qin, "Sister-in-law, I have industrial vouchers. You can tell me if you need money."
"No, no, no, I'll borrow it from Mom later."
Dong Qin quickly waved her hand. Last time, Jingjing resolutely refused to take back the thousand yuan for medical expenses from Dashan. In the end, her mother-in-law insisted on giving it to her, and only then did she agree to accept half of it.
"Okay, if you encounter any difficulties, just let me know. We're family."
Su Jingjing also knew Dong Qin's character; she wasn't the kind of person who coveted money.
After cooking the last dish, it was time to eat.
Yan Ling looked at the five dishes and one soup on the table, with fish and meat. She wouldn't dare to eat like this even during the Chinese New Year.
"Girl, you don't need to make such a lavish meal in the future. Your parents are family, you can eat whatever you want."
Oh dear, now she's worried about something else entirely.
Won't the arrival of those four women eat my daughter out of house and home?
No, I need to give my daughter some money for food later.
Su Jingjing pulled out chairs for the two elders to sit down. "Mom, it's a rare treat for you to come all this way. Let's just enjoy the meal."
"I'll listen to my daughter."
Su Xiang glanced at his wife; he knew his daughter was now more sensible in her actions.
The family ate together, chatting and laughing.
I must say, although the meal was a bit pricey, it was delicious and left a lasting impression.
Li Hanting had work to do that evening, so after dinner he said goodbye to his parents and went out.
Yan Ling watched her son-in-law's retreating figure. "Daughter, is your son-in-law always this busy?"
"fine."
Su Jingjing shook her head.
“You need to show him more care and attention; you can’t be like you were before.”
Looking around, Yan Ling sees no man who can compare to her son-in-law.
She's still a little afraid that her daughter might revert back to her old self one day.
"Why don't we have another one while we're still young?"
Su Jingjing smiled helplessly and said, "Mom, I still have to take the college entrance examination. I can't be pregnant by then."
She doesn't rule out having another child, but the time isn't right yet.
Yan Ling chimed in, "That's true."
She asked worriedly, "How has your son-in-law been treating you lately?"
Su Jingjing called An An and Yuan Yuan over.
"Mom, what's wrong?"
The brother and sister came running over.
"Sweethearts, tell Grandma how Daddy usually treats Mommy?"
Her round little face turned serious. "Daddy is so domineering."
"How is that domineering?"
Yan Ling was anxious. Could it be that her son-in-law was angry with her daughter?
“Dad monopolizes Mom every night and doesn’t let us sleep with her. Dad also often bites Mom’s lips.”
Su Jingjing was so embarrassed that she picked her toes. She didn't expect her daughter to say that.
Yan Ling listened with great interest, "Is there anything else?"
An'an interjected, "Dad loves Mom so much. Whenever he's home, he helps her with chores."
"Good, good, good son-in-law."
Yan Ling was relieved.
Su Xiang nodded in satisfaction and went inside with An'an and Yuanyuan to paint.
Su Jingjing touched the tip of her nose. "Mom, you don't need to worry about me."
"Don't worry, don't worry anymore."
Yan Ling smiled and said, "Oh, right, here's thirty yuan."
Why are you giving me money?
Su Jingjing was puzzled and put her hands behind her back.
“There are four of us adults here, and we have quite a lot of appetites, so Mom can’t let you spend money.”
She was both amused and exasperated. "My dear mother, your daughter can still afford these few meals."
"If you bring it back, I'm going to get angry."
Yan Ling quickly compromised, "Okay, okay, Mom's just worried that her son-in-law might have something to say."
"And your mother-in-law, if she knew our whole family was coming, wouldn't she...?"
Su Jingjing smiled calmly, "Mom, no, A-Ting and Grandma won't have any objections."
“My mother-in-law even said she would arrange for you to meet when you came here this time.”
Yan Ling exhaled a puff of steam, asking incredulously, "Really or fake?"
When her daughter was in postpartum confinement, she even had a fight with her mother-in-law. Won't it be a little awkward to meet her again?
"real."
Su Jingjing nodded.
"Then let's meet."
Yan Ling gritted her teeth and agreed. After all, her daughter would still be living in the Li family, and she also needed to try to get along well with her in-laws so that her daughter wouldn't be caught in the middle.
It was around 11 o'clock when Li Hanting finished his work. By then, his family had just gone to bed.
Su Jingjing sat at the table, sketching the design of the clothing on a piece of white paper.
Clothing styles were relatively limited in this era. As she recalled clothing styles from later generations, an idea soon came to mind, which she then began to draw on paper.
She has some drawing skills, so her drawings aren't too bad.
"Honey, what are you doing? You didn't even notice me come in."
Li Hanting leaned on her shoulder.
Su Jingjing turned her head to the side. "I'm designing clothes. How's the drawing going?"
Li Hanting examined it carefully. "It's very novel. If it's made, it will definitely sell like hotcakes."
Why did you suddenly want to design this?
He sat on the edge of the bed and tucked the stray hairs that had fallen across her cheeks behind her ears.
Su Jingjing revealed her plan.
"I suddenly feel like I've married a gem."
Su Jingjing winked, "So, do you love me a little more now?"
Li Hanting picked him up, laid him down on the bed, and pressed him down to give him a hard kiss.
"Wife, I only love you."
The man's hands groped freely under the hem of her clothes, seemingly touching a sensitive spot, and she giggled.
"itch--"
"Ah Ting, we can't do anything reckless tonight. Mom and Dad are right here."
Li Hanting understood this principle; if he couldn't eat meat, drinking some soup would be good too.
Except for the last step, he really bullied people terribly.
The next morning, Su Jingjing went out yawning.
"Mom, you're awake so early?"
How did you and Dad sleep last night?
"Not bad." Yan Ling fiddled with the bowls and chopsticks on the table. "It's just that I'm getting old and don't need much sleep. Go wash up and have breakfast."
Su Jingjing smelled the aroma of breakfast and was moved. She went up and hugged Yan Ling, saying, "It's so good to have a mother. I can have breakfast as soon as I wake up in the morning."
Yan Ling felt heartbroken. Her daughter was also a mother now and would have to take on the same role as her in the future. She could no longer be as carefree as a little girl.
Concealing the emotions in her eyes, she urged, "Stop being sentimental, go wash up first."
Su Jingjing suddenly felt the living room was a bit quiet, and glanced at the second bedroom. "Mom, where are Dad and the others?"
Yan Ling walked into the kitchen. "The atmosphere in the military base is nice. Your dad took An'an and Yuanyuan downstairs for a walk early this morning."
"I asked Dashan to take Xiaoqin and her son down for a walk as well."
Speak of the devil, and he appears; soon after, a round, sweet little voice came from the hallway.
