After marrying an officer, she was spoiled by the group
Chapter 56 Hu Family
"Don't worry, no one is bullying me, Mom. I bought some dried seafood and will send it back to you tomorrow."
"Silly child, just keep it for yourself and don't send it to mom."
"Mom, we have plenty here, some to eat, and seafood is very cheap. I can send it to you often, it doesn't cost much." It really doesn't cost much to buy it, but the shipping fee will be a little more expensive, but this is affordable for Fu Ling.
Lu Wanning's voice came from the other end of the phone again: "Mom, it's okay, it's my turn now, I want to talk to my sister-in-law."
"Why are you so anxious? I just said a few words." Mother Lu was dissatisfied with her daughter's urging. She should have known not to bring her here. What a troublesome thing.
Fu Ling and Lu Beichen smiled at each other, and then they heard Lu Wanning's ecstatic voice: "Second sister-in-law!"
"Little sister, have you studied hard at home?"
"Sister-in-law, I have some. I also learned how to make clothes from my mother. Now I can do it independently."
"Sure, little sister, keep up the good work. By the time I get back, I guess you'll be a master tailor."
"Hey, sister-in-law, you have so much confidence in me?!"
"Of course, our little sister is so smart, she will definitely be able to do it. Sister-in-law has high hopes for you. But little sister, you must keep up with your studies and not neglect them. Those are secondary."
"Second sister-in-law, I know. I will study hard, don't worry."
The phone was snatched away by Lu's mother again. They talked for about ten minutes before she hung up reluctantly. The phone bills at that time were very expensive and ordinary families could not afford it.
I didn’t call the Fu family, I planned to send something or write a letter back directly.
The two of them walked home: "Wife, I will borrow the car to send the package tomorrow, so you don't have to worry about it."
"Okay, I'll write the letter and send it together when I get home. By the way, honey, let's go to the beach this weekend. I've already made an appointment with Xiangyi and Sister Qin to go together that day."
"Okay, wife, I'll listen to you."
The next few days were relatively peaceful. Lu Beichen sent out the letter and the useful information, and bought several sets of stamps according to Fu Ling's request. People were naturally suspicious, but Lu Beichen always gave them excuses.
It’s a pity that rare stamps are not available for purchase as those stamps have not yet been issued. There are many types of stamps, just like the stars in the brilliant sky, each with its own characteristics.
The themes are wide-ranging, covering various fields such as politics, economy, culture, science and technology, etc. With exquisite patterns and rich connotations, it shows the charm of traditional Chinese culture.
In addition, there are some stamps with themes of natural scenery, animals, plants, etc.
Fu Ling put these stamps on Kuaiyimao for sale and made a small profit.
With Lu Beichen calling him, Fu Ling would often make some nourishing soup. Once he finished, he would send a portion to the neighbors and Political Commissar Ye.
That night, Fu Ling put the remaining seafood on Kuaiyimao. At first, he thought it would take a long time for someone to buy it, but in less than half an hour, all the seafood was sold out.
Fu Ling was very happy after harvesting more than 300 pieces. He went to the seafood market every morning for the next few days.
Having not seen Hu Shan in the market for a few days, the two decided to visit his home.
They did what they said. Fu Ling carried the basket in her hand, and the couple's bicycle was taken away by the man, so they could only walk and take it as a stroll.
When they arrived at the fishing village and asked the fishermen for the address, they were stunned when they saw the dilapidated thatched house not far ahead. It seemed that Hu Shan's family was not rich, and might even be very poor.
The gate to the courtyard is closed, and the security awareness is very strong.
Xiangyi called inside, "Is anyone home? Is Brother Hu here?"
"Who is it?" The voice sounded very childish, and he should be young.
Opening the gate and looking warily at the two people wearing masks in front of her, Xiang Yi said, "Hello, little friend. I'm from the family compound. Is this Hu Shan's house?"
"Are you the sister who received our dry goods?"
"Yes."
Only then did Hu Yunzhou let down his guard and welcomed the two into the yard with a happy look on his face.
I saw seafood drying in the yard all over. “I haven’t been selling fresh food these days. Did they all dry it?”
Hu Yunzhou nodded: "Yes, sister, this is the goods that were just dried in the past two days."
Xiangyi nodded. It seemed that they had caught a lot recently. They had dried several large baskets of fish in just a few days.
Hu Yunze followed his brother without saying a word, just staring at the two people in front of him, seeming a little nervous.
After observing for a while, Xiangyi found that there were only two children at home, so she asked, "Where are your parents? Are you two the only ones home?"
This place is not like the family compound. The house is so dilapidated that safety cannot be guaranteed at all.
"Mom is out doing laundry, Dad's not back from fishing yet, and Grandma's out selling vegetables."
Fu Ling looked at the seafood drying in a dustpan, took it in his hand and took a look at it, feeling very satisfied that it was handled very cleanly.
Fu Ling looked at the twins in front of him and asked with great interest, "What are your names?"
"Sister, my name is Hu Yunzhou, and I'm the eldest."
"I...I'm your younger brother Hu Yunze."
It seems that the younger brother is a little shy. The two boys are thin and small, and it is obvious that they have been malnourished for a long time. Indeed, this family is too poor. It is difficult to make ends meet. How can they eat well?
The two children are still very cute, with big eyes and slightly tanned skin. But they look very energetic.
Fu Ling actually grabbed a handful of fruit candies from his pocket and handed them to the two of them: "This is for you."
The two of them swallowed their saliva when they saw the candy, but they were too embarrassed to take it. Fu Ling chuckled and stuffed a handful into each of their hands. "Take it. We will see each other often in the future. My name is Fu Ling, you can just call me Sister Ling."
Xiangyi also introduced herself: "My name is Xiangyi, you can call me Sister Yi."
As they spoke, the two took off their masks. The twins' eyes widened when they saw their true faces. These two sisters are so beautiful!
They were just like fairies from heaven. Both of them felt embarrassed. Xiangyi rubbed their little heads.
The two brothers welcomed the two into the house, poured a glass of water for Fu Ling and Xiang Yi, and stood aside very awkwardly.
Xiangyi is always easygoing with children: "What are you standing for? Sit down. Don't be nervous. We are not bad people."
"Yes, we will meet often in the future. Yunzhou, Yunze, please sit down." He transferred two more mung bean cakes from the space to them.
"Eat it. After you finish my pastries, we will be friends." Fu Ling said mischievously.
After Fu Ling adjusted the atmosphere, the four of them soon became familiar with each other.
"You two little brats, why don't you close the courtyard gate? What if a bad guy comes in?" Lin Huilan came back from washing clothes and found the courtyard gate wide open, and the two little ones were not there.
Hearing his mother's voice, Hu Yunzhou stood up and said, "My mother is back."
"You two little brats, you didn't even close the yard gate, what if..." She said this as she walked into the house. When she got inside, she stopped talking halfway and saw two beautiful girls sitting at the table looking at her.
Hu Yunzhou hurriedly introduced Lin Huilan: "Mom, this is our big client Sister Yi, and this is her friend Sister Ling."
"Hello, sister-in-law!"
"sister in law!"
The two stood up to reply. Lin Huilan felt a little embarrassed. Seeing how beautiful the two girls were, the inferiority in her eyes flashed away.
She hadn't interacted with strangers in the past ten years since she came here. She was nervous but polite. "Hello, please take a seat. Excuse me... my home is a bit shabby."
"It's okay, sister-in-law, we don't mind these."
"Yes, sister-in-law, you sit down too." Fu Ling said with a chuckle.
Seeing that the two customers were so easy to talk to, she gradually calmed down and sat next to them with a hesitant look on her face. She didn't know how to speak, for fear of offending the customers and causing trouble for her family.
The two men also noticed her worry and started chatting with her. They said that they had been going out to sea more and more frequently recently and had shared a lot of useful information in the past few days.
"Sister-in-law, ask Brother Hu to bring me the dried goods and seafood this afternoon. I have business to discuss with him." Xiangyi said
Lin Huilan was so excited when she heard that they were going to order goods today, but she pretended to be calm on the surface: "Okay, I'll wait for Lao Hu to come back and have him deliver it to you. Thank you two sisters for taking care of our business."
"You're welcome. We're very satisfied with your goods." After saying that, Fu Ling took out two kilograms of brown sugar and five kilograms of egg cake from the basket, which was actually a space, and placed them on the table: "Sister-in-law, please accept these. We came in a hurry, so this is all I have."
Lin Huilan hastily refused: "This...this is too expensive. Sister, you can take it back. You helped our family, why should we accept your things?"
Seeing these brown sugar and egg cakes, they were indeed not worth mentioning to Fu Ling, but Lin Huilan had not eaten anything like this in more than ten years, and she swallowed her saliva unconsciously.
"Sister-in-law, we will often interact in the future. Please don't be polite to us, otherwise we won't come next time."
"This..." Lin Huilan didn't know what to do. She was so touched. It was the first time in more than ten years that someone was so kind to their family.
Xiang Yi also persuaded: "Okay sister-in-law, just accept it, it's not a rare thing."
