The next day, Qin Man got up and rubbed her waist uncomfortably, but Jiang Cong felt refreshed.

Seeing that she was uncomfortable, he came over to rub her waist and kissed her lips.

Qin Man gave him a reproachful look:

"You are so brave! You are not afraid of being seen!"

"It's only natural for me to kiss my own wife!" Jiang Cong became more and more greasy.

"Go, you slick talker, why don't you help mom wash the vegetables? The water is so cold!"

Qin Man pushed him to work.

"Okay, I'll go, you go sit by the fire!"

The dining table at home is also made from a stove. There is a hearth in the middle where firewood can be burned. Then the table will be warm, and in winter, you can put dishes on it without having to worry about them freezing.

It is now the third day of the Chinese New Year, and we have to go out again in two days. In fact, Qin Man is not working now, so she can leave later. Jiang Cong's school will not start classes until after the Lantern Festival, not to mention the children.

However, Jiang Lian had to go to work, and her eldest brother was also going back to work on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, so they might as well go out together so that one could take care of him on the way.

These days, the two children have been sleeping with their grandmother. There is a small bed in Jiang's father and mother's room, which is made of wooden boards and is just big enough for one person to sleep.

There were not enough rooms in the house. In the past, Jiang Cong had to go to school, and when he came back, the children had to sleep with their grandmother. There was no room for one bed, so they had to make a bed for Jiang's father to sleep on, leaving the room for the couple.

Qin Man thought that if her business was good next year, she would send some money back and build two more rooms so that she would have a place to stay when she returned home during the holidays. The children were grown up and could not sleep with the adults every day.

Now Niu Niu sleeps with Jiang Lian. When Jiang Lian is not at home, she sleeps alone in Jiang Lian's room.

Just as I was thinking about it, Jiang Lian also got up, and the children and their aunt and sister-in-law sat together by the fire, chatting and laughing!

Jiang's mother brought out five bowls of sugar-water eggs from the kitchen and gave one bowl to each of them, with two eggs in each bowl.

"Here, have some sugar-water egg first. It will take a while for breakfast!"

"Mom, what's our family's situation like now? Don't you feel bad about having ten eggs all of a sudden?" Jiang Lian was surprised.

In the past, at home, having a boiled egg from time to time was a luxury, let alone a boiled egg in sugar water.

"Last year, our hens hatched a nest of eggs. Some of them are now able to lay eggs. Now we have so many eggs at home that we can't eat them all!"

Jiang's mother's eyes narrowed into slits from laughing. Not only had there been a bumper harvest of grain last year, but now their lives were getting better and better.

Ever since Qin Man recovered, their family's fortunes began to turn around and everything started to go smoothly.

"Let me eat as much as I want, enough!" Jiang's mother touched Xiaoyu's little face.

"Thank you, grandma!" Xiaoyu smiled sweetly.

"Hey, baby, be good!"

Mother Jiang loves her little darlings so much. How could she not miss them after not seeing them for half a year?

After eating the sugar-water eggs, the family gathered together to eat. There was a variety of chicken, duck, fish and meat on the table.

At this time, an uninvited guest came.

The door was open, and Song Mei appeared in the yard carrying something, fearing that someone might come to visit. When she saw them eating, she walked straight in without any hesitation.

"Hey, are you eating? Happy New Year!"

This familiar voice sounded, still as harsh and sharp as ever.

As soon as she arrived, the family, who were originally happy, suddenly changed their expressions.

Especially Jiang Cheng, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot. When Niu Niu saw her mother, she felt a sense of fear for no reason.

"Why are you here?" Jiang Lian asked first, her face looked unhappy, and the word "unwelcome" was almost written on her face.

Song Mei didn't feel embarrassed, but smiled even more brightly:

"Of course I miss my daughter, so I came to see her, to see if she has enough to eat and is warm enough to wear!"

She turned around and reached out to hug Niu Niu, but Niu Niu fearfully pulled her father's arm.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng protected the child and said in a deep voice:

"The child is not close to you. She is fine now. Don't worry about her!"

Song Mei's hands froze in mid-air. There was nothing more heartbreaking than having one's own children become so distant from one's parents.

Looking at the food on the table, and then at Niu Niu, who was wearing a beautiful cotton-padded coat, had a beautiful braid, and a beautiful sunflower hairpin. She was white and rosy-cheeked because she was raised by someone, and had grown a lot taller. She was much cleaner and more refined than when she was by his side.

It seems that what her mother said was right. Now the Jiang family is prosperous, with no shortage of food and money to spend. Qin Man even has her own store in the city and is preparing to do business. Future wealth is just around the corner.

Jiang Cheng is now working as a skilled worker in the city. I heard that his salary is 70 or 80 yuan a month. If she had known this, she should have refused to agree to the divorce.

Now, the good days are gone for her and she regrets it.

"Manman, as an aunt, treats Niuniu better than you, as a mother. Niuniu never lacks anything that Xiaoyu and Xiaoli have. Look, all of her clothes were bought by Manman. The closet is full of beautiful clothes and shoes, new school bags, and new toys. They were all bought and sent back by Manman all year round. How dare you say you are here to take care of the children when you bring those broken things here?"

Jiang's mother now stood up straight and started to criticize outsiders, which was unusual for her.
