Lin Qingmei was not generous for not asking for a house. In her heart, He Xufeng and she were a family. She already had a house at home, so why should she buy one outside?
Besides, He Xufeng gave her all his savings, so why should she be unsatisfied?
Although old houses are not worth much now, it is not a good thing to own too many old houses. If you want a house, you can wait until after the reform and opening up, and then you can buy as many as you want.
"Dad, we don't live in the county town, so let's keep the old house for now! We don't know where Xufeng will be assigned to work in the future, and no one will live in it even if we tear it down and rebuild it now."
Most of He Xufeng's property was stored in the secret room of the He family's old house. If the old house was demolished, where would she put her things? The most important thing was that she had no place to put the furniture she brought.
"Okay, then I'll transfer the old house to your name."
He's father always respected the ideas of young people, so it was easier for him since his daughter-in-law didn't want to buy the house.
In the kitchen, Grandma Lin was spinning like a top.
The oil in the pot was crackling as she skillfully used a large spatula to stir-fry the vegetables in the pot, beads of sweat oozing from her forehead.
Tianlin Qingmei prepared many dishes and the menu has been ordered.
There were pork with bean curd sticks, pork intestines with sauerkraut, bacon with snow peas, pork bones with carrots, steamed sea bass, blanched shrimps with garlic, stir-fried clams, steamed king crab, steamed abalone with vermicelli in garlic sauce, water spinach in garlic sauce, and blanched choy sum, a total of ten dishes.
There were many people that night, so Lin Qingmei prepared sufficient portions of dishes.
When Grandma Lin and the team leader's wife first saw Lin Qingmei preparing so many meat dishes, they wanted to scold her for being a spendthrift. It would have been good enough to have chicken and bacon, but why did she have to buy so much fresh pork?
It was just a good day for her, and they were too embarrassed to say too much.
"Aunt, what do you think Qingmei's husband's family does? Her mother-in-law looks so young!" The captain's wife leaned close to Grandma Lin's ear and whispered.
"Xufeng's father seems to be the commander of the army, and his mother doesn't have a job." Grandma Lin didn't ask Lin Qingmei in detail about her husband's family. She only knew that the He family was from the army.
“Qingmei is such a lucky girl. She never had to suffer when Third Aunt was still alive, and now her husband’s family is so good.” The captain’s father and Lin Qingmei’s grandfather are cousins, and the captain’s wife calls Grandma Lin Third Aunt.
“Qingmei’s parents have not been around since she was a child. Even though her grandparents were very good to her, she still lacked parental love. Now she has found a good in-law family, which can be considered as a happy ending for her hard work.” Grandma Lin always felt sorry for Lin Qingmei. Now her grandparents and parents are gone, and she is the only little girl left to support the whole family.
"I don't know what Qingmei's mother is thinking. The children are so well-behaved and sensible, but she doesn't want any of them." The captain's wife looked down on Lin Qingmei's mother. She ruined a good family.
"What's the point of talking about a dead person? Don't mention that woman in front of Qingmei later." Grandma Lin knew that the captain's wife was a gossip, so she was worried that she would say something wrong later.
