Under Wu Meili's urging, Bao'er finally opened his mouth and swallowed bit by bit. After just a few mouthfuls, there was still a bottom of rice oil left and all was gone.

Wu Meili put down the spoon, wiped the corners of her granddaughter's mouth with a handkerchief, and said sincerely.

"Bao'er, if you are hungry from now on, don't hold back even if you call for help in the middle of the night. You are still young, and it will be bad for your health if you are hungry. We are all your relatives and will always accommodate you. Your little willfulness.”

The little girl was babbling and waving her arms as if she was talking.

Wu Meili couldn't understand what the little girl wanted to say, but it didn't mean that she couldn't talk to herself. So, she took Bao'er's little hand and said in a cheerful tone.

"Grandma will treat you as if you have agreed. Bao'er, you must remember this and never let you go hungry. This is true no matter what time."

The little girl was still babbling and waving her arms, looking very cute.

Wu Meili lowered her head, kissed her granddaughter's forehead, and then continued.

"Grandma is going to have dinner now. Bao'er will play by herself! If Bao'er wants to do something? Then cry loudly."

The little girl was babbling as if she was nodding.

Wu Meili was satisfied, kissed her granddaughter's forehead again, and placed the entire swaddling clothes next to Lotus.

After doing this, she stood up and walked towards the door. Opening the door and closing it, he walked along the corridor and came to the hall.

At this time, Mrs. Zhou and Lu Ya had just finished serving the dishes and were serving rice to the whole family, calling people over for dinner.

Wu Meili sat on the main seat with a golden knife. She didn't pick up the bowl and chopsticks and took a bite until everyone who could move freely arrived.

When the juniors saw this scene, they also picked up their bowls and chopsticks, and began to eat slowly or with big gulps.

After swallowing a mouthful of food, Mrs. Zhou wiped her mouth and said with a smile.

"Mom, I just took a closer look and the snow beads outside are about to melt. I want to take advantage of the good weather and the sun to go back to my in-laws' house with Jie Lei."

Wu Meili also glanced at the couple, her daughter and son-in-law, nodded gently and said.

"I'll pack some things later for you and your son-in-law to take back. Some of it will be given to your parents-in-law, and some of it will be kept by you. My daughter, especially you, eat more and take good care of your body. I, the mother-in-law, stay far away. , I can’t watch you all the time, so I can only leave you more things.”

Mrs. Zhou's smile became even bigger on her face, and she said obediently and docilely.

"Thank you for your concern, Mom. I feel warm in my heart. Having a relative like Mom will definitely be a blessing for me in these eight lifetimes."

Wu Meili shook her head and retorted.

"You are my daughter, I don't care about you, who will care about you?"

Do you expect this nerdy son-in-law? It's useless. How do you know how to care about people if you don't know how to greet them

A blush rose on Mrs. Zhou's face, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and said in a very obvious joking tone.

"Mom, please stop talking. My second sister-in-law is jealous now. It seems she wants to eat me."

Lu Ya nodded cooperatively and said like a kitten waving its claws.

"Hmph, eldest sister is right. I envy her now and wish I could take her place."

Wu Meili laughed, took Lu Ya's hand, and promised sincerely.

"Lu Ya, good boy, don't worry, I will treat you as my daughter."

Recalling Wu Meili's kindness to her, Luya lowered her head shyly and said uncomfortably.

"Thank you, mother, Lu Ya will remember it."

During the breakfast, the whole family was enjoying themselves happily, without even quarrels over trivial matters.

Wu Meili feels very proud every time she sees such a scene. She taught her children very well and truly lived up to the saying that brothers and sisters respect each other.

It's not like other families, who fight over a little thing without any nose or eyes.

The key is that parents cannot handle a bowl of water equally. Sons, daughters-in-law, daughters and grandsons, aren’t they all the same? Why should we treat them differently

After breakfast, I tidied up the house again.

Wu Meili opened the warehouse, picked some things from it with her own hands, and placed them bit by bit on the bullock cart brought by Wang Jielei and Mrs. Zhou.

"Daughter, you give this pile of things to your in-laws and parents-in-law. As for this pile of things, they are all yours. You can do with them as you like."

Mrs. Zhou couldn't hide the smile on her face as she looked at the things that were almost piled up into a hill. I had no choice but to hold Wu Meili's arm and thank her repeatedly.

While moving things, the three brothers and son-in-law and Luya were always helping. Seeing so many things makes them want to leave their home and go to other places. To be honest, Lu Ya, as the daughter-in-law, felt very distressed.

But despite being distressed, Lu Ya's face didn't show a trace of it. Because she knew quite well that the reason why the eldest sister could get so many things was because she brought so many things.

Lu Ya thought of her parents and couldn't help but shook her head with regret. In fact, the things she brought back to her parents' home were not as many as those given to Mrs. Zhou.

However, there are definitely numbers that Wu Meili gave Mrs. Zhou's husband's family. But even so, her mother's family couldn't return the corresponding gift.

The reason is simple, it's just because those things were swallowed. It is said that the married daughter throws away the water and does not need the good things from her mother's family to her husband's family. It's just a favor to bring back some souvenirs.

When Luya returned to Lian's husband's house with a small amount of things, she clearly saw a flash of dissatisfaction on Wu Meili's face. However, a good mother-in-law is a good mother-in-law. My mother didn’t blame her, she just didn’t take it seriously.

When thinking of this, Luya thought of her sister-in-law's house again. The whole family was not much better than her parents, and they also didn't send the same gifts back. Although there are many of them, they are all not very valuable.

In mid-air, the sun is getting higher and higher.

After Mrs. Zhou and Wang Jielei said goodbye to Wu Meili and others, they sat on the bullock cart and headed home.

The driver was Mrs. Zhou, and Wang Jielei was sitting behind her wrapped in a quilt. It seems that everything has been arranged, and he will definitely not be able to freeze.

When she saw this gesture, Wu Meili felt even more dissatisfied. She knew that this son-in-law was of no use except studying. Even if he lets his wife drive, he won't even say a kind word.

After being sulky for a long time, she finally calmed down. Well, seeing that this boy was easy to control and would not abandon his wife and children easily, she reluctantly accepted him.

The first few days of the year are the busiest time of the year. Every family visits the door to pay New Year greetings, and there is a noisy scene.

Not long after Mrs. Zhou and Wang Jielei left, people in the same village seemed to have received some news. From time to time, people came over to pay New Year greetings, and then gathered together to talk and laugh.

Wu Meili is also a veteran. She has led her family for who knows how many years. She took out candies and melon seeds with a smile, and entertained each one warmly.

In addition to entertaining New Year greeters at home, the family also often goes to other homes to pay New Year greetings. Sometimes I have a meal or something and take something home.

I don’t know whether it’s luck or misfortune, but He Hua is in confinement and can’t go out. As Lotus's father-in-law, Zhou Dalang must also stay at home and take care of his wife.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, the people staying at home are usually Zhou Dalang, Hehua and Baoer.

Time flies so fast, and it’s the tenth day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye. This day is the tenth day after Bao'er's birth. As her husband's family, Wu Meili must invite He Hua to a banquet for her family.

The meaning is very good. I am grateful to Hehua's mother's family for giving birth to the daughter Hehua, and for allowing Hehua to marry into their family and give birth to a child who is related by blood.

But in fact, in today’s era, who can remember such a beautiful meaning? All I know is that this is a rule, and you can indulge in a meal.

When the banquet was about to begin, Lotus's family came. When she saw that group of people, Wu Meili's face turned green.

This is not to blame for her bad mood. In fact, all of Hehua's family members are here. Including my brother, sister-in-law, younger brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, none of them made a fuss. A family of more than a dozen people are all here.

Angry as hell, Wu Meili didn't make a fuss after all. Today is a big event, can there be any surprises? So she took a few deep breaths and brought the person to the table as if she didn't know what to do.

To be honest, there are not many rice and dishes on the table, and the dishes are very rich. There are fish and meat, chicken and duck, meat and vegetables, cold dishes and hot soups. There were more than ten words, which looked very sincere.

Wu Meili was always very generous when she was rich. Even if she wanted to save face for her eldest daughter-in-law, He Hua, she would not be stingy when she came out to entertain guests with cabbage and radish.

However, the key point is that there are too many people coming to the Hehua family. There was no room for a large number of people to sit at a table, so some people had to stand.

Needless to say, those standing there were just a few wives and a few young children. Including Lu Ya and San Lang, no one came to the table.

Wu Meili was even more angry. Why couldn't the young wife and children be served? His daughter-in-law feels sorry for herself, but she feels sorry for them if they don't. However, she could only swallow this breath.

It’s really not worth it on such a big day. After silently reciting it several times in her heart, she gritted her teeth and continued to entertain the guests.

Looking at each one of them, they looked like they were reincarnated by starving ghosts, fighting and grabbing. Even though Wu Meili knew that these people had not eaten good food for a long time, she still felt uncomfortable.

What can she do? There was nothing she could do. I had no choice but to rely on my status as an elder to bring a lot of delicious dishes to Luya and Sanlang who were standing aside.

Luya was very grateful, and Saburo was also filled with joy. On the other hand, Hehua's sister-in-law, younger siblings, nieces and nephews, how aggrieved are they

After finishing the meal, Wu Meili looked at the plates that could be used without washing and sighed silently.

—It’s all the fault of poverty!
