Seeing that they were determined not to cross the river, Zhao Dashu stopped forcing them. After the spring, they would just wait for the spring to come. If they endured for a while, the weather would get warmer.
Because several daughters-in-law had also returned to their parents' homes, lunch was prepared by Song and my mother together.
"Xiaoyu, you and Liqi sit on the kang." The old woman moved all the snacks in the room to the low table, "Eat first, grandma will stew meat for you."
"Thank you, grandma."
When you compare this with the grandmother in the old house, the difference is obvious.
There were chicken, fish, meat, everything on the dining table. From the snacks that grandma brought out, she knew that the present Song family was no longer the same as before, and they were living a pretty good life.
"Eat!" Two girls, each got a big chicken leg. "Eat more. There's plenty of meat."
Zhao Xiaoyu and her family really don't crave meat anymore. Ever since they left the old house, they have basically had enough food and clothing. The faces of the whole family are a lot rounder than they were half a decade ago.
Zhao Dashu was drinking with his father-in-law.
"Dad, I'm going to build a house later. Can you give me enough money? If not..."
"Enough," the old man interrupted him with a wave of his hand, and came close to Zhao Dashu and whispered, "Let me tell you, picking river gourds, our family has earned a full 160 taels. It should be enough to build a house for your family, right?"
"So much?" He thought it was about one hundred and twenty taels, and all the money was given by him, but as it happened over and over again, he couldn't remember it very clearly.
"Well, Dashu, tell daddy the truth, Xiaoke, does the family still want Hehulu?" If not, he certainly couldn't give all the money to Xiao just for building a house. If you still want it, hehehe, he will definitely earn more than you do now. He is familiar with the way and knows where to find it.
“More.”
"really?"
"really."
"Good, good, good!" The old man was happy and patted Zhao Dashu's shoulder hard. Zhao Dashu grimaced in pain. Does the father-in-law want to beat him to death and find another husband for his daughter?
It's hard to find someone who is so good to his wife, so filial, and can earn money.
Before leaving, Zhao Xiaoyu got another embroidered bag, which actually contained fifty coins.
"Mom and Dad, I'm back!"
"Mai Qi is back!" Old Mrs. Sun and Old Man Zhao both stood up to welcome their daughter. The eldest son and the youngest daughter are the lifeblood of the two old people. The most favored ones in the family are Zhao Daye and Zhao Maiqi.
There were only Zhao Ruxin and Xu Xiaohong at home. Everyone else had gone back to her parents' home.
Xu Xiaohong has no home, and Zhao Ruxin's legs haven't recovered yet, so she can't walk for too long. The road was slippery on a snowy day, what would happen if she fell? Wang didn't let her follow.
"My aunt is back!" Zhao Ruxin walked slowly to the door. She and her aunt were still very close.
"Oh my, our Ruxin is also here, she's not at grandma's house. I haven't seen her for so long, how come she's lost so much weight?"
Zhao Maiqi's husband's family runs a tea stall in Shitouzi Town. After doing business for a long time, she has learned to speak differently to different people.
She is close to her eldest brother's family because they are the best off, and she expects her eldest brother to support her entire family in the future! But I heard from my mother before that my third brother’s family seemed to have become prosperous after the separation, but I don’t know how they are doing exactly. Because of busy work at home, she hasn't been back to her parents' home for several months.
"Dad and Mom, why do you two look so haggard? What happened?"
"Mai Qi, your father and I were sick a while ago, and we thought we would never see you again."
"Why are you sick?" Mom can't be sick. Dad is still here. Only with the two of them can she have someone to support her. Only in her husband's family can she have a say.
"Don't mention it, this half hour, hey! When we have time, we can chat slowly. Son-in-law, grandson, let's go inside, into the main room. The heater is ready, it's too cold outside."
Not only was the warm stove ready, she also prepared snacks, including half a bag of pastries, some melon seeds, and candies.
Mai Qi's husband Ma Dacai bowed and said, "Dad and mom, good luck with your new coat."
