Chapter 423 Why didn't you recognize each other after a long separation
? Lin Wanxia didn't finish her words, and stopped at the point.
If the eldest brother didn't mean to go back, everyone would be embarrassed. Sure enough
, after Lin Wanxia finished her words, there was silence at the dinner table.
Li Wenwen pouted, "Anyway, I won't go."
Jiang Sinian said, "Xia Xia and I plan to leave in a few days and go back to our hometown to have a look."
The eldest brother said he would think about it and ended the topic.
Because Li Wenwen was there, they tried to talk about other topics.
Lin Wanxia asked curiously, "Strictly speaking, you two uncles and nephews grew up together, why didn't you recognize each other after a long separation?"
They had just met.
Li Wenwen sighed: "Xia Xia, no, Fifth Aunt, you have to know that this..." She pointed at Jiang Sinian in the air, "is your lover. I treat you as my sister, so of course I have to keep a sufficient distance from my brother-in-law. Even though we have eaten together, I have never taken a close look at what he looks like.
My brother-in-law, no, Fifth Uncle, all he sees is you. Except for you, everyone else, including but not limited to me, are females, not mothers."
Lin Wanxia: "..."
Is there a big difference between female and mother?
Without waiting for her to speak, Li Wenwen continued, "Besides, how old were we when my fifth uncle and I were playing together? I am several years younger than my fifth uncle! We separated when I was old enough to remember, so how could I remember what he looked like."
Jiang Sinian also expressed his attitude, "Girls change a lot when they grow up."
Li Wenwen bit her fish bone in surprise, "What do you mean?"
Lin Wanxia explained with a smile, "He said that you change a lot when you grow up, and you're getting more and more beautiful, unlike when you were a child, so he didn't recognize you."
"Huh!" Li Wenwen didn't believe it at all, "You've never looked at me face to face from the first time we met until now."
Jiang Sinian didn't refute him and changed the subject, "Brother, where is my nephew?"
"He just went to college and went to the northeast. It's not summer vacation yet, and he will be back in a few days."
After eating and drinking, Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian left their eldest brother and sister-in-law's house.
Jiang Sinian drank some wine, so it was Lin Wanxia's turn to drive.
Li Wenwen was the happiest one, "I was embarrassed before, but now I can eat at the seafood restaurant openly!"
Lin Wanxia smiled, "No problem, as long as you don't forget to bring a portion for your mother."
Li Wenwen made an OK gesture.
The eldest sister-in-law was not strong enough and could not finish a full meal, so she went back to the bedroom to rest early.
The eldest brother waved his hand and said, "Come often in the future!"
***
Lin Wanxia and Jiang Sinian changed their plans. As
usual, Jiang Sinian took Xingxing back to his biological parents' hometown.
During this period, Lin Wanxia went to see the eldest sister-in-law with Wang Ma.
Wang Ma specializes in gynecology.
After taking the eldest sister-in-law's pulse, she said that the eldest sister-in-law was indeed suffering from severe internal deficiency and needed to be well taken care of.
In addition, medicine is three-point poison, so I advised my sister-in-law to stop taking the medicine and use medicated diet to regulate her
body. In addition, keep the air ventilated more, don't stay in the room all the time just because you are not in good health, instead, you should go out for a walk more and do more activities.
"I'm not as good as my old man. I'll talk to him about your symptoms and wait for him to come and see you."
The sister-in-law thanked him again and again.
With the rank of the eldest brother and the situation of the eldest sister-in-law, the family can have a nanny.
In fact, Jiang Sinian already has an orderly.
In addition to the original clerks and communicators, there is now another person who specializes in taking care of his daily chores.
This time, because he went back
to his hometown, he didn't let the orderly go. And Lin Wanxia was not at home, so the nanny was saved.
Wang Ma left a few recipes for medicated diet.
Wang Ma's lover also made a special trip and had similar opinions to Wang Ma. He
said that the eldest sister-in-law was originally in serious financial loss, and also had what some people call postpartum disease, but taking medicine all year round caused too many toxins in the body and some damage to the liver, which required long-term and slow conditioning.
He said that he would teach Wang Ma to give her acupuncture and massage, which would also help her recovery.
Lin Wanxia was going back to her hometown and the island city, so she left Wang Ma to the eldest sister-in-law for the time being.
The eldest sister-in-law of course thanked him again and again.
***
Jiang Sinian came back from Xingxing's hometown, and the family of four set out to return to Jiang Sinian's hometown.
They got up early, rushed all the way, and returned home before lunch.
Lin Wanxia entered the yard and was stunned for a few seconds.
Last time, there was a table of people waiting at the table, and only the fourth sister-in-law was busy running around, and Xiaoliu would lend a hand from time to time, helping to light the fire or something.
This time, everyone was busy in the yard.
Even Jiang's father was holding a handful of leeks in his hands, sitting on the doorstep picking leeks. x|
Of course, Jiang's mother still didn't understand.
Standing at the gate, Lin Wanxia heard Jiang's mother lying on the kang and groaning. She
signaled to everyone that she was very ill.
The fourth sister-in-law wiped the sweat from her forehead, "Xia Xia and Xiao Wu are back!"
Xiao Liu and Xiao Qi and the three children of the fourth sister-in-law's family all ran over and surrounded the car.
They all knew that Lin Wanxia would not come empty-handed.
Sure enough, Lin Wanxia opened the trunk and it was full.
She distributed the things to the children to carry.
There is strength in numbers, and many meals were served on the table at the same time.
Everyone had a smile on their face.
This surprised Lin Wanxia.
It's only been a year, and the changes seem a bit big.
So big that she had to speculate whether these people had other calculations.
It turns out that sometimes women's intuition is really scary.
During the meal, everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, and the second sister asked Jiang Sinian to borrow money.
"Xiaowu, I think the greenhouse you built for the fourth brother's family is pretty good, and it can make a lot of money a year. Your second brother-in-law and I also want to build a greenhouse, but you know we don't have much money. Can you give me some? I'll pay you back after the vegetables are harvested in the fall."
When the fourth sister-in-law heard this, she subconsciously looked at Lin Wanxia with an apologetic look on her face, feeling that she had implicated Lin Wanxia.
Lin Wanxia shook her head gently at the fourth sister-in-law.
Jiang Sinian also turned his
head to look at Lin Wanxia. Lin Wanxia had not asked for his allowance in the past few years, and he had saved several thousand yuan.
It was more than enough to build a greenhouse.
However, he would not give it if Lin Wanxia disagreed.
Lin Wanxia nodded gently.
Although she didn't interact with the second sister much when she came last time, she heard some things about the second sister from the fourth sister-in-law.
The second sister is kinder than the third sister, but her life is not very good.
Not long after she was born, she was bitten on the neck by a rat and almost died.
It was thought that she would not survive, but she survived.
But the rat bites more than just one bite. She has scars from her ears to her neck.
It can be considered half disfigured.
This matter is considered a strange story. It has been spread in the surrounding area for a long time, so that when the second sister talked about her partner, she was always rejected and said that she was not suitable for marriage.
The current second brother-in-law is poor and can't afford to marry a daughter-in-law, so he chose the second sister with a small betrothal gift.
Fortunately, the second brother-in-law is kind and treats the second sister well.
In an era when sons are highly valued over daughters, the second sister worked hard to have a son, which can be regarded as an extra layer of protection for herself.
