Song Tanglan clearly felt it. The villagers who were chatting at first were a little warm when they heard that she was an educated youth, but suddenly the atmosphere changed.
However, everyone knew that she was Song Tangcheng's sister, so the weird feeling gradually disappeared, and they were not so distant during the conversation.
Song Tanglan was a little confused about this situation. How much did they reject the educated youth that they could not hide their disgust and alienation when they heard that she was an educated youth.
However, this also shows that Song Tangcheng has a very good reputation in the team.
If it weren't in front of Song Tangcheng and Cheng Fangyuan, these people might have turned around and left.
After they knew that Song Tanglan was Song Tangcheng's younger sister, their attitude gradually changed. When they knew that they were going to the old house for dinner, they stopped chatting and let them leave.
Song Tangcheng's residence was not far from Captain Cheng's home. It only took a few minutes to walk to his home, so it didn't take much time on the way.
Just around the corner is the old Cheng family compound. The old house is no different from the young couple's home, except that the bricks and tiles look older, and the yard is not like the young couple's yard, with so many inedible vine seedlings planted there. In addition to a few fruit trees, the most conspicuous thing is the big stone mill.
The layouts of the two houses are obviously similar, except that the old house is larger.
As soon as they entered the house, the people inside heard the noise and three children ran out to greet them enthusiastically. The oldest one was Xiaohu who had just led the way for her.
The original owner had also seen Xiaohu's younger brother and sister, but they were still young at that time and looked very different from now, so Song Tanglan didn't recognize them at once. Being surrounded by three children, she, who was thick-skinned, felt a little at a loss.
Seeing that his little sister was so popular, Song Tangcheng couldn't help but feel happy. However, when he saw the little sister's cautious look, he guessed her situation and had no choice but to introduce her one by one:
"Little sister, this is Xiaohu, and these two are Xiaohu's younger brother and sister, Xiaoli and Xiaodong."
After hearing her second sister's introduction, Song Tanglan squatted down obediently and greeted the three little ones. She also took out the candy that she had prepared in her pocket.
But as soon as she took it out, Xiaohu refused it. "Aunt Lan just gave me some candy. You don't need to give me more. Xiaohu has already given some to my younger brothers and sisters."
The two little guys looked at the candy in her hand. Although they were very eager, they nodded obediently when they heard what their eldest brother said.
Song Tanglan was very happy to see that the three little guys were so sensible. She didn't give them a chance to refuse and stuffed all the candies into their hands.
"Alright, just take it! That's the candy Xiaohu earned through hard work. This is a meeting gift from Aunt Lan, so you can't refuse it!"
Song Tanglan's words made Xiaohu a little at a loss, especially when he met the eager eyes of his younger brother and sister. Xiaohu could only look at his mother who had just walked out of the room, and only accepted it happily when he saw her nod.
After carefully putting the candy away, she thanked Song Tanglan sweetly.
Song Tanglan reached out and touched the heads of the three little guys. The three little guys were wearing patched clothes, but it could be seen that their owners loved cleanliness. The clothes were washed cleanly and there was no dirt accumulated over the years on the clothes.
Song Tangcheng looked at his sister-in-law who came out, took her hand and said, "Sister-in-law, this is my younger sister. Do you think we look alike?"
The relationship between the two sisters-in-law of the Cheng family has always been very good. Even before Song Tangcheng married into the family, their relationship was already very good.
So naturally, she had also heard about her little sister from her: "They are very similar. Xiaolan, next time you come home, you don't have to give candy to those three naughty kids. Just save it for yourself."
Mrs. Sun said so, but just now she saw the three children were so happy to receive the candies, she felt distressed and sad. It was because they were incompetent parents that the three children could only envy the candies in other people's hands.
Song Tangcheng couldn't stand seeing Mrs. Sun's self-condemnation, so she said unhappily, "It's just a few candies. Just eat them. Besides, we're all family. It's just a few candies. How much can three children eat? Really, sister-in-law, if you say that again next time, I'll be angry."
After she finished speaking, she acted as if she was angry. Mrs. Sun was amused by her expression and stopped dwelling on what had just happened. She glared at her in reproach.
"You, I saved a few candies for you and you weren't happy about it, and now you're even getting mad at me. Xiaolan, you can't be like your sister. Whenever there's something delicious, you always take care of yourself first..."
Seeing her like this, Song Tangcheng knew she was going to continue her long speech, so he immediately interrupted her and said, "Alright, alright, sister-in-law, please let me go. Let's go in and eat first, so as not to keep my parents waiting for too long."
Mrs. Sun also knew that she had wasted time, so she nodded, reached out and pulled the two of them into the house.
Cheng Fangyuan had already brought the dishes into the house while they were playing with the three children in the yard. The three children had already run back with the candies to share with their grandparents. At this time, they were the only three people in the yard.
Song Tanglan had never dealt with such a situation before, and she felt a little awkward. When Mrs. Sun was about to pull her aside for a long lecture, she had prepared herself for nagging, but luckily Song Tangcheng was considerate enough to come to her rescue.
There was no way. Whether in her previous life or in this era, she had never interacted with people she didn't know well, especially people with good intentions like this. She didn't know how to respond.
Fortunately, her second sister was thoughtful and noticed her awkwardness, so she helped her out. Seeing that the two of them were still chatting, she didn't feel so uncomfortable anymore.
When they entered the house, a group of people had already packed up and were ready to eat. Song Tanglan also followed her second sister and greeted the elders one by one.
After all, she still has to rely on Captain Cheng for the rest of her life in the countryside. Besides, they are very kind to her second sister, so Song Tanglan is also willing to respect them as elders.
The Cheng family didn't have so many rules. The captain's wife simply greeted Song Tanglan, and then a group of people sat down and prepared to have dinner.
The relationships in the Cheng family are not complicated.
Captain Cheng married Li and had two sons and one daughter. The daughter is the second child. Three years ago, she married into the city with her own ability. Her husband works in a factory. After she got married, she took over her mother-in-law's job.
The young couple lived a very good life. Except for the mother-in-law who would occasionally say a few stern words, she was just an old lady with a hard mouth but a kind heart. In addition, the husband tried hard to mediate, and the relationship between the family members was very good.
The eldest son is Captain Cheng's successor. Captain Cheng has devoted most of his energy to teaching his eldest son, so Cheng Fangzheng is a very honest and reliable person. He just can't adapt himself sometimes and needs his younger brother's guidance.
This is also the reason why Captain Cheng has always been worried. However, Cheng Fangzheng has now made some achievements and is the captain of the second team in the team.
