Now that she has decided to be a stepmother, Xia Qingmai won't be as awkward as her parents.
She was born into the royal family and has understood a truth since she was a child.
Be adaptable!
In the words of the Chairman of this era, "Sing whatever song you go to on any mountain."
With her current status, it is impossible for her parents to put effort into finding a job for her, and the original owner did not leave any connections. As for herself, what can she gain after just a few days here?
There were a lot of gold and silver treasures in Ruian Palace, but after learning about the current situation of the world from the memories left by the original owner, she didn't dare to use them at all.
According to their local policy, the last time given by the Educated Youth Office is the Mid-Autumn Festival. After the Mid-Autumn Festival, all graduates of their class must go to the countryside, except for those who find jobs or marry as housewives and have someone to support them.
The reason why she has been able to survive until now is that her second aunt and her husband took over her marriage from the beginning. Otherwise, according to her parents' wishes, she would probably have gone to the countryside by now.
Compared to the cousins introduced by her sister-in-law who could not bring much betrothal gifts and had many problems, Sun Fugui was the only young man she could find in a short period of time who was good in himself and did not have minor problems that she could not tolerate. His two children were in It was nothing in Xia Qingmai's eyes.
No matter how complicated the interpersonal relationship is, can it be as complicated as the royal family?
As long as she holds Sun Fugui's money, how can two young children be disobedient?
She doesn't intend to be a vicious stepmother and just live a normal life.
She now responds to her children's calls of "Mom" generously. The children are happy and she feels comfortable.
Looking at such a gentle and elegant Xia Qingmai, grandma Yao Daya also smiled.
Knowing that his second son had already explained everything about the betrothal gift, Yao Daya didn't ask any more questions and just bent down and picked up the bamboo basket at his feet.
She first opened the rag on the bamboo basket, pushed it in front of Xia Qingmai, and then said: "I brought it from home, Qingmai, you keep it to recuperate."
Twenty farm eggs may not seem worth much, but they are a very rare thing these days.
In addition, she just saw the ten pounds of cornmeal that Yao Daya and his wife brought to the second aunt's house. Sun Fugui's mother seemed to be quite good at dealing with others.
The future mother-in-law was easy to get along with, the future father-in-law nodded and smiled the whole time and looked honest without saying anything. Xia Qingmai was not too busy, smiled sweetly, and took out the new clothes he had made for the two children.
"I made a dress for each of the children."
The boy's dress is an ordinary jacket and trousers, but there are pockets on the left and right sides of the jacket. The girl's dress is a long-sleeved dress with a few small stars embroidered here and there.
The slightly gray blue cloth with defects was transformed into beautiful new clothes through Xia Qingmai's ingenuity.
Sun Shuyan was very happy to have new clothes. Sun Shuyu didn't understand so much, but Yao Daya was more and more satisfied with Xia Qingmai as his daughter-in-law.
She also has a piece of home-woven homespun cloth at home, which she originally planned to leave for her grandchildren to make clothes for. Now it seems that she has to find something to dye the cloth and leave it for her second daughter-in-law to make clothes for.
Although Yao Daya has never read a book, she has a strong foundation in mind.
Whether the son's life is good or not depends on whether the daughter-in-law is sensible.
Most daughter-in-laws are sensible at first, as long as she, the mother-in-law, keeps things straight and doesn't stir up trouble.
Yao Daya, who was satisfied with Xia Qingmai, was dissatisfied with the attitude of his in-laws, but he also knew that nothing in this world was perfect.
Besides, neither of her parents-in-law dared to wink or look down on her second daughter-in-law.
With such ability, what is she afraid of?
When Yao Daya was talking to Xia Qingmai about Sun Fugui's childhood, her second aunt Hu Jianhua also pulled her eldest sister and whispered: "Fugui brought ten pounds of cornmeal to me as a matchmaker gift. Our family doesn't We’re short of food, so you can let my eldest brother-in-law carry you away later.”
Seeing that the eldest sister was about to refuse, Hu Jianhua quickly said: "Don't refuse, go back and let Qingmai take good care of her. It will be nice to have more dry food for the family to hold a happy event."
After thinking about it, Hu Jianhua added uneasily: "The leaders of Fugui are very optimistic about him. If he hadn't raised two children, such a good marriage would not have been possible for us, Qingmai."
"Please wake up, don't really chill Qingmai's heart."
