"I am leaving."
Outside the restaurant, Ji Zhenfeng sent Mei Xiang to the door, saying that he wanted to leave, but he held Mei Xiang's hand honestly and refused to let go.
"Well, be careful on the road."
Mei Xiang shook the hands they held, tilted her head and waved to him with a smile, Ji Zhenfeng looked at her, and suddenly felt reluctant to leave.
He pulled hard with his hand, and Mei Xiang slammed into his arms. He wrapped his arms around Mei Xiang's waist, and directly sealed Mei Xiang's lips.
Mei Xiang didn't expect him to kiss her suddenly. This is outside her store, and the light is still on at the door. If her family bumps into her, she will be ashamed to see others.
After the breathless kiss ended, Meixiang was a little angry, Ji Zhenfeng rubbed Meixiang's face, "Okay, don't be angry."
After speaking, he handed the basket of grapes to Mei Xiang.
"Go to bed early and remember to miss me."
Mei Xiang pouted and nodded.
"I'm home?"
Zhao Caixia and Zhang Qiaoer came out of the house.
Jiahui and the others came back in the evening and came back in the morning. Zhao Caixia had a big stomach and it was inconvenient to go back and forth. Zhang Qiaoer stayed with her. The three of them lived in the house, and Li Wangping lived in another wooden house built behind the house. Well, it's summer now, so it's okay to sleep in. When the school starts and everyone has left, he will move back to live in the house, and the wooden house will be used as a warehouse.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time, and Mom has been worried."
"How are you doing?"
Meixiang put the grapes on the table, sat down and poured a glass of water and drank it. After drinking, seeing her mother and sister staring at her with bright eyes, she smiled and said, "I'm fine, I'm fine. , his parents are very nice, they don't have the arrogance of city people at all, they are very easy-going and kind."
Zhang Qiaoer's worries settled down in her stomach, and she asked about the details of today's meeting, and Mei Xiang remembered that Yang Yuqin had given her a red envelope, and took it out of the bag.
"I refused to accept it at first, but my aunt said it was a custom, so I must accept it."
Mei Xiang opened it and saw that they were all new ten-yuan bills. She took them out and counted them. There were eight bills, which was eighty yuan.
"Eighty yuan, the people in the city are really generous."
The first time I recognized the door, I gave such a big red envelope. How much will I have to give when I say kisses later.
Zhang Qiaoer finally felt relieved, not because of the red envelope, because of Ji Zhenfeng's parents' attitude towards Meixiang.
"Okay, you keep the money yourself, don't spend it indiscriminately."
"Mom, why don't I give it to you, I have nowhere to spend the money."
"What do I want your money for? I'm not short of money. You can save it at the post office tomorrow. There will be plenty of places to spend it in the future."
When I was a girl, it was just a matter of buying a few clothes and a face cream, but when I got married, there were more places to spend money.
After handing over the housekeeping power to her daughter-in-law, Zhang Qiaoer no longer took care of the money. The son and daughter-in-law paid for the family every month, and gave some money to honor the Chinese New Year and festivals, and lived a happy life.
The Ji family said that they wanted to settle the relationship as soon as possible, and quickly arranged a time. Out of courtesy, they planned to visit Zhao's house, and the place was arranged at Zhao's house.
On this day, Zhao's house was cleaned inside and out, and the tea, snacks, and ingredients for guests were all prepared. At around nine o'clock in the morning, a jeep slowly drove in from the entrance of the village. It was Ji Zhenfeng and his parents. coming.
Yang Yuqin didn't look very good in the car, Ji Qingming patted her arm and comforted her, "Let's put down our emotions first, we are guests today, don't let people misunderstand."
Yang Yuqin sighed when she heard the words, "You think I want to be angry, but I'm not angry."
The cause of the incident was that their family came to the Zhao family for the first time. Yang Yuqin wanted the eldest son and daughter-in-law to come together, which was equivalent to a formal meeting between the two families. I found a rural girl who was quite critical.
"Let's be elders, take more responsibility, and don't hurt the harmony of the whole family because of these trivial matters."
Yang Yuqin waved her hand, expressing that she didn't want to hear any more, she was already tired of hearing these words, but she still took a deep breath to make her face look less ugly.
"Here, I see the car."
Zhao Donghe kept watching, and when he saw the car driving into the intersection, it was the one Ji Zhenfeng had driven, so he hurried back to the house and told his parents.
"Hey, it's finally here, can you see if I can do this, is my hair messy?"
Zhang Qiaoer was very nervous. This kind of nervousness was due to her own lack of self-confidence, a kind of self-ashamedness, and fear of losing face to her daughter.
"Very good, Mom, Zhenfeng's parents are not the kind of people who look down on others, so don't put too much pressure on yourself."
How could Zhang Qiaoer listen to it, she responded indiscriminately, and Mei Xiang looked at her father Zhao Manzhu, with an anxious expression on her face, as if "like facing an enemy".
The car stopped in front of Zhao's house, and the family walked out from the yard. Ji Qingming got out of the car first, followed by Yang Yuqin.
Zhang Qiaoer and Zhao Manzhu hadn't figured out how to speak, but Ji Qingming and Yang Yuqin had already walked over with smiles on their faces.
"Hello, Meixiang's father, Meixiang's mother, I am Zhenfeng's mother, my surname is Yang, and my name is Yang Yuqin."
"Comrade Zhao, Comrade Zhang, hello, let's meet at last."
"Hey, good, hello, hello."
After turning off the engine, Ji Zhenfeng got out of the car, opened the trunk of the car and brought out the presents, milk powder, canned food, dried noodles, biscuits in a gift box, and a few pig's trotters.
"Here... come here, why do you still bring so many things, oh, these are all good things, and you can't buy them with money."
Yang Yuqin took Zhang Qiaoer's hand and said with a smile, "It should be, if you like someone else's daughter, you have to show sincerity, right? There's no reason to pick the fruit for nothing."
Mei Xiang, who stood behind Zhang Qiaoer with Jiahui, blushed, and Zhang Qiaoer, Zhao Manzhu, was very upset. These words really spoke to their hearts. Isn't it like this when marrying a daughter? Someone else took it home.
Zhang Qiaoer smiled and invited Yang Yuqin and Ji Qingming into the courtyard, and introduced the family members to him.
"This is my eldest son, my eldest daughter-in-law, this is my second son, this is my eldest grandson, his nickname is Heidan, and his first name is Zhao Zhuojun..."
This is the first time for Yang Yuqin to see Jiahui, the perfect sister-in-law that Meixiang talks about. She has a beautiful face and fair skin. Standing with Meixiang is like the two sisters, which is slightly different from what she imagined.
... ...
Soon it was the end of August, and Jiahui and the others had to prepare to go back to the provincial capital.
"I want to tell you something."
"Mom, what can you tell me?"
"Your elder sister's belly is almost eight months old. You know the situation of Li's family. Her mother-in-law can't help her. I was worried about her in my heart. Now I have opened a restaurant. The baby is too busy. I want to stay. Take care of her for a while."
After Zhao Donglin heard this, he looked at Jiahui. It was about his sister. Zhao Donglin must be considerate, so it depends on Jiahui's opinion.
"Okay, it's enlarged. You can send it to kindergarten. The school is close to home, so there's nothing to worry about."
The big deal is that she and Dong Lin have to work harder, otherwise what can be done, life is always going to pass, and the mother-in-law has already proposed that she, a daughter-in-law, cannot be a villain.
"Jiahui, I'm really sorry, the palms and backs of my hands are full of flesh, if only I could split myself in half."
"Mom, don't think about it too much. The current situation is that the eldest sister really needs your care more. Donglin, Donghe and I can take care of a few children."
Zhang Qiaoer lowered her head and tucked the corners of her eyes. Before she said this, she knew Jiahui wouldn't say anything, so she still felt a little sorry in her heart.
Before returning to the city, Jiahui went back to her mother's house. Her mother knew that Zhang Qiaoer was staying to take care of the eldest daughter, so she didn't say anything, and her face was not very good-looking.
The thinking of rural people in this era is relatively solid. The married daughter is not said to be splashed water, but the mother's family is really not good at reaching out to the daughter and son-in-law's house, especially this kind of son and daughter, who help the son. is mainstream thinking.
"Then what do you do, you have to go to class and take care of the family's food and drink?"
It's not enough for adults to deal with children casually, so this meal must be done.
"It's okay, sooner or later, the school will take care of the food at noon, and I don't worry about sending them to school."
"Hey, it's still hard for you. Sometimes I also think, what if you didn't go to Donglin and found someone else."
"Mom, we have to look forward, not backward. There is nothing wrong with Donglin. At least he treats me very well. Changing someone may not be able to support me to go to college."
There is also the matter of doing business, which is not something that every man can understand. It takes a certain level of thinking and a broad mind to do it.
So Jiahui never regretted marrying Zhao Donglin, even if life was a little frictional and hard, he was already the best choice at that time.
"There is another thing. Now that the national policy has been relaxed, we will pay more and more attention to economic development in the future. Our family can't put all our minds on farming. We have to keep pace with the times and find ways to do something."
"Your brother and sister-in-law don't have your brains. If you have any ideas, just tell them. They are willing to listen to you."
Not to mention anything else, let's just talk about the restaurant opened by Zhao Caixia. I heard that the business is very good and they have made a lot of money.
The land contract responsibility system in Shanghe Village has been fully implemented, and there is no movement in Dayu Village for the time being. Jiahui told her brothers that when the land contract responsibility system in the village is promoted, let them find the village chief to buy land, whether it is flat land, wasteland or mountainous land. , It is always useful to buy it back.
The local soil is fertile, and the fruits and vegetables grow gratifyingly, so it is very suitable to grow fruits and vegetables.
In addition, Dayu Village is close to the town, and the transportation is convenient. The fruits and vegetables grown are easy to transport.
"Okay, you are a college student with a good brain, we will listen to you."
The elder brothers immediately expressed their opinions without saying anything else, and Jiahui was also very moved.
On the third day before school started, Jiahui and Brother Donglin took their four children back to the provincial capital. This time, they packed lightly and only brought what they needed.
"Be careful, if you are really too busy, write to me."
Zhang Qiaoer looked at the grandchildren and felt very reluctant. If it wasn't for the eldest daughter, she would definitely follow.
"Sister-in-law, you should take care of yourself more, don't be too tired, brother, you should take care of your family and sister-in-law more."
Mei Xiang is also quite reluctant, she has already officially worked, and will stay in the county from now on. She knows her sister-in-law, she works seriously, is always strict with herself, and treats others leniently. Love and love my sister-in-law.
"Well, I know, you should also be careful."
After speaking, they carried their things and got into the car with their children.
