After Lianyi said goodbye to Lu Fang with a smile, she returned home calmly. It seemed that Xu Xinya was very smart and had devised such an escape plan for herself. If she succeeded, she would be as good as the sky. Yes, that must be impossible.
After Lianyi returned home, she made a braised pork ribs and left some food for her youngest son. After picking up Dabao, she went to the family home of the machinery factory to see her granddaughter.
Dabao was also very happy when he heard that he was going to visit his sister, and he smelled the smell of meat. Grandma must have cooked something delicious. He was happily carrying his small schoolbag and jumping up and down. ’s and grandma entered the family courtyard of the machinery factory.
"Aunt Luo, come to see your son!"
Entering the family courtyard, someone familiar greeted him immediately.
"What's so good about him? I came to see my granddaughter and bring some delicious food to the in-laws. She has a hard time raising the children."
Lianyi raised the cloth bag in her hand and said with a smile.
"Aunt Luo, I think you just don't mean what you say. If your granddaughter wants to see it, so will your son."
Another woman of similar age to Lianyi joked.
Lianyi did not deny it this time, just smiled and led her grandson to the five-story cadre building.
When she slowly entered the unit door, the rest of the people started talking.
Lianyi will not care about this, of course. Behind their backs, these people are just saying that Song Qingchuan is burning too much money and cannot live in a house that does not cost money. He insists on spending money to buy a house, and in order to buy a house, he even borrows money from everywhere. I owe hundreds of dollars in foreign debt, and I don’t know how many years it will take to tighten my belt to pay off the debt.
“It’s not our turn to worry about these things. Even if they are mothers, they won’t object. We have told them but they still don’t want to listen. We just need to take care of ourselves. Moreover, I heard that the unit will build a building in the second half of this year. "
"Really?"
"Really, my son's new partner is the clerk in the logistics department."
The building was already crooked outside, and Lianyi also saw her little granddaughter Beibei. After holding the little one and teasing her for a while, her eldest grandson took over.
Dabao and Beibei were crawling and playing on the blanket on the floor of the living room. The two of them talked very warmly, but they didn't know what the two little ones were talking about.
The old lady in law was very happy. After chatting with him for a while, the two began to prepare dinner.
Because the braised pork ribs in Lianliang are regarded as meat dishes, the two of them fried a plate of spicy and sour shredded potatoes and a small cabbage. Lianliang took out two eggs from the cloth bag and steamed one for Beibei. A small bowl of egg custard, another broken into pieces to make egg drop soup, three dishes and one soup with rice, it was also very good.
Li Juan smelled the aroma of meat as soon as she entered the door. She knew without guessing that her mother-in-law was here. She immediately greeted her with a smile, changed her clothes, and started setting out the meal.
"Mom, let's eat first. Qingchuan got off work later than usual in the past two days."
"Got a new job?"
Lianyi asked casually.
"Well, I bought a new machine and it is being installed and debugged recently. He has been following me and wants to learn more from the technicians from Hong Kong City."
Li Juan knew that her mother-in-law cared about her husband and immediately said .
"The opportunity is indeed rare. You and your in-laws have been working hard these days. If you can't take care of you, I will come to help."
Lianyi said empathetically.
“Mom, no need. Beibei is very good and obedient. When she’s full, she plays by herself, and when she’s tired from playing, she goes to bed by herself.
Now she can talk. When she’s hungry, She can tell clearly when she wants to pee. It’s not that tiring. She’s just learning to walk unsteadily now, so she has to worry about keeping an eye on her.”
Li Juan immediately smiled and declined. She was indeed not very tired, so she didn’t. It is necessary for her mother-in-law to run back and forth, and her mother-in-law has to take care of Dabao and her brother-in-law, which is enough for her to worry about. She has her own mother to take care of her, so she doesn't want to cause trouble.
"Okay, just be busy yourself. If the in-laws want to go home for two days, send the child to me."
After hearing Ripple's words, the old lady of the in-laws obviously looked bad. Li Juan also smiled a little reluctantly.
“Sister, you don’t know that those three heartless people never came to see me again as soon as they sent me to Juanzi. They probably don’t even know that I have moved to a building now. "
The old lady was not afraid of ripples' jokes and said directly.
“Is it because I am too busy at work?” Lianyi tried to smooth things over. She said it was okay when her child was not good, but others said it was not okay, so she would not ask for trouble by saying that other people’s sons were not good.
"Humph! It's just an excuse for them to have Kawako busy."
The old lady from the in-laws shook her head.
"In-laws, if they don't come to see you, just go to their workplace to see them, and collect your pension money by the way. Juanzi asked you to help take care of your granddaughter, and she will take care of food and accommodation for you. Where’s the money?”
Lianyi immediately came up with an idea.
Upon hearing this, the old lady in law immediately understood what Lianyi meant, and responded with a smile:
"My sister is right, please come and take Beibei with you for a long time in the morning next Wednesday, and I will go out for a walk. "
"Okay, I'll send Dabao to school, so I'll come directly."
Lianyi agreed readily.
Standing aside, Juanzi secretly gave Ripple a thumbs up.
It's hard for her as a daughter to say this, but Lianyi can say it. After all, she is married and lives in the house assigned to her husband.
Just like what the mother-in-law said, her mother helps take care of the children. They take care of food and accommodation and give them five yuan a month. It makes no sense that the son can’t pay a penny. As the saying goes, raising children will protect you from old age. My mother, she I am willing to support my three brothers, but I don't want to take advantage of them either.
At this time, the door opened and Song Qingchuan came back.
When he saw his mother coming, he immediately said hello. After washing his hands, he picked up his daughter and kissed her. Then he touched Dabao’s head, took out a bag of candy from the bag and asked Dabao to Grab some and keep them to eat.
“Thank you, uncle!”
Dabao grinned and thanked him. He counted five candies and put them into his small school bag without being too greedy.
"Dabao, get more."
"Uncle, these are enough. Milk said, you can only eat one candy a day. If you eat too much, bugs will grow in your teeth. Five candies. I can eat until this weekend."
Dabao counted it on his fingers and said.
“Okay, I’ll listen to you, my second uncle will buy it for you after you finish eating.”
"Qingchuan, let Beibei play by herself. Come and eat first. Mom specially made braised pork ribs and brought them over today."
Li Juan put the hot meal on the table and said to her husband.
“Here we come.”
After Song Qingchuan finished eating, he chatted with everyone for a while, and Ripple took Dabao to prepare to go home.
Song Qingchuan talked to his wife and mother-in-law, then carried Dabao downstairs and sent his mother home.
Lianyi asked Song Qingchuan about the new machines at the Machinery Factory, and Song Qingchuan told the truth.
“I heard that the boss who brought the new machinery was the boss from Hong Kong City?”
“Well, I saw him once. He was a gentle man, wearing gold-rimmed glasses. He is also decent, wearing a white shirt, black pants, and black leather shoes. He is always accompanied by two people."
"I heard that he has found a partner in our Qingshan Town and is planning to get married."
"Ah? I really don't know about this, Mom, how did you know?"
Song Qingchuan asked in surprise.
"Don't worry about it. Your mother and I have our own network."
Lianyi said pretending to be profound.
Song Qingchuan pursed his lips and smiled, but he did not expose it, but Lianyi's next words made him a little confused as a monk. (End of this chapter)
