A 1970s mom raises a cute baby, and a crazy boss spoils her
Chapter 227 Lantern Festival, Preparation
Regardless of whether this dream was sent by Wang Laocai, she decided to spend the money on doing good deeds and help their family gain more merit.
However, the situation has not yet improved, and there is little she can do. Let's wait for two years.
Gu Qinghuan tasted the Yuanxiao made by Zhong Luoning and praised it highly. She said her cousin was always careful in her work and the small Yuanxiao she made were delicate and delicious.
After dinner, the family started to get busy again.
Today is the Lantern Festival and also the last day that Xu Huaian and others spend at home before they leave.
After breakfast, Gu Lanting packed up and went to the cowshed next door to help Zhong Zijun shovel cow dung and clean the cowshed. After cleaning up, he brought the family of three back to have lunch and celebrate the Lantern Festival in the evening.
Zhong Luoning and Gu Qinghuan were responsible for preparing lunch.
Ming Ruxue took the children to have fun all over the village. Because of her money and the candies in her pocket, all the children in the village were impressed by her and followed them happily.
Xu Huaian was directed by Gu Qinghuan to deliver the things.
In the morning, Zhong Luoning made a lot of extra Yuanxiao (Chinese rice dumplings), which the family couldn’t finish, and there were other dishes for lunch and dinner.
Gu Qinghuan asked Xu Huaian to send some things to Ji Linhai, Erdan's family and Xu's eldest brother. It wasn't much, just to make it lively.
By the way, Xu Huaian also wants to say a few words to the eldest brother of the Xu family.
Everyone mind their own business and the family gets busy.
As expected, these were the last two meals that Xu Huaian and his companions had in Xujiatun. Tomorrow morning, they would set off for Beijing.
Gu Qinghuan tried her best to feed them more good food.
The lunch menu: garlic-flavored spareribs, pickled fish, boiled pork slices, braised pork bones, white radish and mutton soup, pickled cabbage, and cold shredded potatoes.
Pickled fish is a dish that the whole family likes, and it must be prepared before leaving.
There is too much wild boar meat stored in the space, and some of the meat and large bones need to be consumed.
Xu Huaian sent the other two families away before finally coming to Xu Huaizhi's house.
When Xu Huaizhi learned that he would leave for Beijing tomorrow, he felt filled with emotion.
"Don't worry, second brother. I'll help take care of your sister-in-law and two children at home." Xu Huaizhi patted him on the shoulder.
Xu Huaian knew Gu Qinghuan's abilities, and that their family had no shortage of food and drink, so he didn't expect Xu Huaizhi to provide any substantial help.
He was worried that after he left, Xu Mingshan and Liu Guifang would make things difficult for Gu Qinghuan, as she was the type of person who only reported good news and not bad news.
So he wanted to tell Xu Huaizhi a few words: "Brother, I'm not worried about anything else. I'm just worried that Mom will embarrass my wife again. If there is any disturbance at home, please be more patient and persuade Mom."
"That's for sure, don't worry."
"Thank you, big brother. Today is the Lantern Festival. These dumplings are for you and sister-in-law to try."
Lin Xiaomeng took the Yuanxiao and looked at him suspiciously.
"Sister-in-law, is there anything wrong?" Xu Huaian asked puzzledly.
"Um, nothing much. I heard from some gossipy women in the village this morning that you beat up Xu Lao Er?"
Of course, there is more than that. After Xu Laoer came back yesterday, he not only spread the word that he was beaten by Xu Huaian, but also said that Xu Huaian had stolen his prey.
It was said that Xu Huaian relied on being the son of the branch secretary to do evil things.
Because the injuries on his body were real, everyone was talking about it and discussing whether it was true or not.
Xu Huaian didn't expect that the bastard would dare to spread it everywhere. It seems that he didn't give him a light beating.
"I was indeed the one who beat him up. I set the trap, and he took the prey away. He refused to return it, and acted like a scoundrel, so I beat him up."
There's nothing wrong with this. At worst, I can just beat him up again.
Lin Xiaomeng's eyes lit up visibly.
Wow, Xu Huaian finally did something that made people happy.
That bad guy Xu Laoer deserves to be beaten. Beat him to death.
"Hey, I told you that you can't beat people for no reason. It's right to beat them, and it's good to beat them. That kind of scum deserves to be beaten." Lin Xiaomeng's attitude has visibly improved a lot.
When Xu Huaian left, she gave back some of the red bean paste buns she had made.
Xu Huaizhi looked at his wife suspiciously. Why was she so enthusiastic towards Huai'an today?
Lin Xiaomeng told him about the harassment she had suffered from Xu Laoer before. Only then did Xu Huaizhi know the whole story and he wanted to beat Xu Laoer up again right away.
Of course, I did find an opportunity to beat him later.
Lin Xiaomeng's words reminded Xu Huaian that Xu Laoer was a dishonest villain. It seemed that he had to give him a warning before leaving, otherwise it would be bad if he bullied his wife and children after he left.
Little devils have always been difficult to deal with.
Xu Huaian secretly took note of this and slowly returned home.
Mr. and Mrs. Zhong Zijun and Zhong Weiqian came around eleven o'clock.
When a few people came over, Gu Lanting was carrying a large backpack.
The things inside were all the things the three of them were preparing to take away for their grandson, granddaughter, grandson-in-law, and the little girl from the Ming family.
There were the dried pheasants and rabbits that they had saved because they were reluctant to eat them during the winter, and the fish that Gu Qinghuan had given them before, which they had carefully applied salt to and smoked dry, as well as the hazelnuts, pine nuts, black fungus and other dried goods that they had saved.
Zhong Zijun has divided it into several equal parts, and everyone gets one.
Gu Lanting originally didn't want her to take it, but Zhong Zijun loved her son so much that he couldn't bear to refuse her kindness.
A mother worries about her child even when he is far away. This is not just empty talk.
Gu Qinghuan also understood, so she did not reject Zhong Zijun's kindness. Anyway, she had a lot of good things here, and she could just send them to them later.
However, when Zhong Luo Ning saw this, her eyes turned red with sadness.
She didn't know how long it had been since she felt this kind of love from her elders.
She grew up in love for the first half of her life and never thought there was anything wrong with it.
When people are down and out, they can actually appreciate the preciousness of family affection.
The feelings between relatives are more sincere and firm.
Cheng Shuying held her hand and explained word by word: "Ningning, don't cry, these are just small things.
More importantly, after you go back, start over and live a good life.
I raised you, and I believe you can live your life again.
We have survived so many difficulties, and everything will be smooth sailing in the future.
You see, our little Youran is now smart and lively, which is better than anything else."
Cheng Shuying did not mention those sad things, but it made Zhong Luoning feel even more upset. She finally couldn't hold back and threw herself into her grandmother's arms, crying loudly.
During this period, everyone indulged her and no one mentioned her past. The three members of the Zhong family also pretended not to know.
But in fact she understood that they were just taking care of her emotions.
Everyone left the main room tacitly, leaving the space to the grandparents and grandchildren.
Zhong Luoning grew up with Cheng Shuying. With her comfort and guidance, I hope her future will be smoother.
