In the evening, Chen Xingling pushed his bicycle back to Sanyuan.
Before the door was opened, the proud and loud voice and laughter of Grandma Xiaoying could be heard.
"Swallow! Look, look! That's the study over there! Isn't it spacious? Isn't it bright?"
"Look! Look! How big is this yard? It's full of green plants. It looks quite pleasing, right?"
Chen Xingling pushed the door open suspiciously, and found that her mother-in-law was taking her old friend Cai Haiyan to the yard to look at the scenery, and she was introducing them proudly and happily.
Qin Tiantian has finished her confinement, but Cai Haiyan has not returned yet because Qin Tiantian hopes that her old mother can stay and help her take care of the child.
Cai Haiyan was worried about her husband at home, so she just said she would lend a hand for now and she would have to go back after a while.
Mrs. Guo was originally willing to take care of her granddaughter, but her health has not been very good recently. I heard that she broke her leg and the injury was quite serious.
The night before yesterday, Liu Xinnian came to play chess with Gu Qi and they accidentally talked about Guo Jiayue. He said that her temper had become much calmer now. After all, she was no longer a big leader, but just an ordinary worker.
However, she still doesn't like to talk to people, asks for leave every few days, and often gives a bad face to the team leader who is in charge of her.
It is said that Mrs. Guo was kind enough to introduce her to a man. However, when she found out that the man was a widower with three children, she instantly flew into a rage, scolded him severely, and then dragged Mrs. Guo away.
Mrs. Guo was wearing plastic flat-soled shoes with high heels. She staggered and lost her balance as Guo Jiayue pulled her, and accidentally fell down with a thump!
Mrs. Guo is already old and her health is not as good as that of young people. She broke her leg after falling down suddenly!
Qin Tiantian was about to leave her confinement at that time. Fortunately, her mother-in-law, Cai Haiyan, was there, otherwise the house would have been in chaos.
Lao Guo took a few days off to take care of his wife in the hospital. Only after his wife's condition stabilized did he go back to the factory to continue working.
The factory cannot be idle for a day, and Mr. Guo cannot take a long leave, so he asked a familiar relative to come home to take care of Mrs. Guo.
Liu Xinnian also said that Lao Guo had warned Guo Jiayue not to act recklessly again and not to be shaky at work anymore. He told her to work hard, otherwise she would be transferred to a branch factory.
Because her mother-in-law's legs were still unable to walk, and Qin Tiantian was a first-time mother and could not take care of the baby, she begged her mother to stay in Yucheng to help take care of the baby.
After all, this is not her home place, and she is not used to the climate, food and accommodation. Cai Haiyan has lost a lot of weight. She probably has to stay up late to take care of her little granddaughter, and her face is full of fatigue.
She saw Chen Xingling come in and greeted him cheerfully.
"Aqi's wife, you're back? I haven't seen you for a while. You--you've become more beautiful!"
Chen Xingling smiled slightly and parked the bicycle.
"Auntie is here, welcome, welcome."
In the past, Ying looked down on her daughter-in-law, and her best friend was influenced by her and also looked down on Chen Xingling.
Not only that, she had always hoped that her daughter would marry Gu Qi, but Gu Qi actually got married on his own in Yucheng. The matter was done immediately, and she and her bestie didn't even have a chance to object, and Chen Xingling became the daughter-in-law of the old Gu family.
As a result, Cai Haiyan was always lukewarm towards Chen Xingling, and occasionally even joined her old friend in making a few sarcastic remarks.
With such an enthusiastic attitude like today, there is a world of difference between now and then!
Ying laughed, her tone full of pride.
"Her family is quite wealthy, with several houses! They have not only tractors but also motorcycles. Yucheng is a big place, and even the fishing villages in the countryside are quite prosperous. Ever since she came back and said she wanted to take the college entrance examination, I thought she was joking at first - oh my! She actually passed the exam! Now her business is getting bigger and bigger, and she makes a lot of money. Look! She bought meat again! We eat meat every day now, and there is meat for every meal. Even the barbecued pork buns in the morning have a lot of meat and plenty of sauce!"
Cai Haiyan smiled awkwardly: "...That's great! I was saying that you are blessed...When you were young, you had a great husband, when you were middle-aged, you had a great son, and now that you are old, even your daughter-in-law has made great achievements. You just wait to enjoy your life."
Ying narrowed her eyes and smiled, saying in one breath: "Hu Zi's mother and her fourth brother jointly opened an embroidery factory. It just opened a few days ago! It's a factory! I heard that there are dozens of workers working there. It's a pretty big scale."
"Oh my god!" Cai Haiyan stared in disbelief and asked, "Embroidery factory? There are so many workers? That-that-that is really amazing!"
The next moment, the way she looked at Chen Xingling changed completely. The sourness in her tone was gone, and her eyes were shining with envy.
Chen Xingling calmly took the roast chicken off the handlebars and smiled: "Nothing, just trying to make a little money to live. Auntie, come in and have some tea."
"Okay, okay!" Cai Haiyan nodded quickly.
Ying held her elder sister's hand and smiled excitedly: "We don't need to run out of tea at home all year round, whether it's Tieguanyin or Dahongpao - we have everything!"
Chen Xingling didn't like to listen to her mother-in-law bragging, so she went to the kitchen with the roast chicken and braised duck.
Zhao Xiaoxing was picking vegetables. The stove was steaming and emitting the delicious aroma of shrimps and crabs.
"Sister-in-law, you're back! This is the seafood that my brother brought back. It's almost ready to be steamed!"
Chen Xingling couldn't help but ask, "Did you catch and kill the sea fish in the small water tank in the corner of the yard?"
Zhao Xiaoxing's face turned slightly red and she shook her head.
"…I didn't go to catch any. I saw that my elder brother brought a lot of fish and shrimp, as well as crabs, so I didn't go to catch or kill them."
Chen Xingling put down the things in his hands and instructed: "I'll cut these, you should kill the fish and eat them. That one is a grouper, a fish from the sea. Even if you feed it in salt water, it won't live that many days. We have guests tomorrow, so take the opportunity to kill it and steam it for food."
Zhao Xiaoxing smiled a little embarrassedly and hesitated: "Sister-in-law, I...I can't stand the smell of blood these days. As soon as I smell poop, I can't help but vomit."
"What's wrong?" Chen Xingling didn't think much about it for a moment, and asked suspiciously: "Are you feeling sick in your stomach? Are you nauseous and want to vomit?"
Zhao Xiaoxing lowered her head and whispered shyly, "Sister-in-law, I...I am probably pregnant."
ah? ! !
Chen Xingling smiled in surprise and asked, "Really? Are you sure? Did you just find out?"
"I... am not quite sure." Zhao Xiaoxing gestured and whispered, "It's been almost a month late. Besides, I always like to sleep these days, and I always feel like vomiting when I wake up early."
"That's probably it!" Chen Xingling excitedly held her hand and said, "Congratulations! What you wish for has come true - it's finally here!"
Although Zhao Xiaoxing didn't say it, she had been looking forward to having this child for a long time.
Gu Yi loved his children very much, even his eldest nephew loved him very much, let alone his own children. Although he always smiled and said to let things take their own course, he had actually been looking forward to it for a long time.
Zhao Xiaoxing couldn't stop smiling, and said shyly: "Ayi...he is also very happy."
Chen Xingling rolled up his sleeves and laughed, "You go rest in the house, I'll go catch some fish and kill them. I'll have a braised grouper tonight, I guarantee it won't have any fishy smell at all - let's celebrate! It's a double happiness today, we must celebrate!"
