Guan Lian learned of their marriage almost half a month after Liu Xia moved into Chen Wei's house. The weather was starting to get hot, and the factory's main work during this period was producing summer clothes and summer fabrics. Because of her outstanding performance, she was taking on more and more responsibilities.
Her mother called her more than a month ago and said that Chen Wei might remarry. Later, she said that they had broken up and now they were married again. Guan Lian only felt that their development was a bit turbulent, but she didn't have any other thoughts.
"Mom is telling you, you have no idea how lively their family is. Yang Chunhua really went all out. I heard she paid more than a hundred yuan for the bride price, but they didn't even have a wedding. Chen Wei invited the whole family to eat at his house, and Yang Chunhua just brought up a bowl of plain porridge."
The new bride's family was not to be trifled with either; they started arguing that very day. It remains to be seen whether the new bride can outmaneuver Yang Chunhua.
Guan Lian's mother both hoped that her new daughter-in-law would be powerful and keep Yang Chunhua under her thumb, making her suffer the hardships of being a powerful daughter-in-law, but she was also afraid that if she were too powerful, her grandson would not be able to survive under her.
"I'm just waiting for the day those two, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, start fighting, but..."
The voice on the other end stopped, and Guan Lian glanced out the window, knowing her mother wanted to talk about her son, but—
"Mom, this is his choice."
Everyone has to take responsibility for their own choices. Unless he is in a very serious situation and asks her for help, Guan Lian will no longer take the initiative to plan everything for him like before.
After these six months, Guan Lian has gradually come to terms with things.
"...Mom knows. No matter what, it was his own choice. Just live your life well."
After hanging up the phone, Guan Lian walked out of the gatehouse. The summer sun gradually shone down, shining through the gaps in the leaves like pieces of shattered gold.
Xiao Liang will be home for the holidays tomorrow. Aunt Tian caught a few rabbits yesterday, so we'll buy one and cook him a nice meal.
Guan Lian had finished reading the book and felt she needed to return the favor to Teacher Liu. She thought she should make half a rabbit into rabbit jerky and have her son take it over.
Teacher Liu has children at home, so they should like to eat this.
Just then, Song Qing came over with a basket of vegetables and said to her, "Sister Guan, these vegetables are ripening in batches. If you don't eat them soon, they'll get too old. I'll put them down for you."
"I'm going to Aunt Tian's house to buy a rabbit, do you want to come?"
Song Qing shook her head. A while ago, Jian Dong went to the mountains to set traps and hunt after his vacation. The traps he set this year were much better than last year. In addition to rabbits, he also caught a lot of pheasants and gave her a lot of them.
After processing, it was rubbed with salt and left to dry in the backyard. The aroma attracted many stray cats, and even the family cat kept a watchful eye on the backyard all day long.
"Go ahead."
Back home, Lu Yang was making a wooden gun in the yard, while An An took a stick and ran off to play with her friends outside.
"We've finally finished this batch of vegetables. Next time, I'll plant some tomatoes. We're tired of eating vegetables all the time."
Last year was my first time planting vegetables, and everything was new and exciting. I divided the vegetable garden in front into plots and planted different vegetables in each plot. This year I wasn't as curious, so I was lazy and planted only a few kinds.
But who would have thought that these vegetables would ripen so quickly that they couldn't possibly finish them all? They not only sent some to their neighbors, but also planned to make some into kimchi.
"As expected, we can't take the easy way out. These dishes need to be cooked a little later, otherwise they'll all be cooked at the same time."
An'an dragged a wooden stick and ran back from outside, her face covered in sweat and mud, looking like a little kitten.
Behind them, a few quacks rang out, and a large, plump goose—no, it should be called a goose—spread its wings and rushed in, almost as big as An'an.
Previously, Xiao'e could only be considered the tyrant of the old district, but now it can reign supreme in the entire residential compound.
Song Qing felt a headache coming on when she saw this. "...You took the little goose out again?"
"Yes, I took it to bathe in the river."
The small river between the old and new districts becomes almost a playground for the children every summer. Song Qing isn't too worried about safety, as the military region has been stationing people nearby since last year to keep an eye on these mischievous kids.
The children in the family compound weren't raised with much care. If they got into a fight or played and got hurt, nobody would take it seriously.
“A very pretty auntie moved into Building 17. She even gave me candy today.”
After saying that, she took out a piece of candy from her pocket and showed it to her mother. You know, no piece of candy can stay in her pocket for more than an hour; she would have taken it out and eaten it long ago.
She kept this one because it was so beautiful that she couldn't bear to eat it, so she brought it back to show her mother.
"Is this imported?"
