On this evening in Hutong Street, everyone was immersed in the strong aroma of food, and their stomachs were growling.
And the culprit was the man they once despised the most.
Today his daughter-in-law, who is a dancer, came back, and many people couldn't help but peek and point.
But the family involved didn’t pay attention to those people’s gossip.
Huang Xiaoyan did not come back wearing heavy makeup and a cheongsam. Instead, she put on ordinary buttoned clothes and dressed very low-key.
Her hair was tied up, and her face was clean. She might have applied a little lipstick to show her complexion.
She hadn't returned here for a long time, and she still looked a little overwhelmed. She persuaded Yunfei to stop being busy, "There are so many dishes, can we finish them?"
Zhang Qingsong, who was washing vegetables, was the first to quit, "Mom, don't try to persuade him. After so many years of hard work, are you still worthy of a table of good food when you come back?"
"Mom, I just think it's too much, a waste."
"Then you may not know, but my dad can eat all the food on the table."
Yun Fei also smiled and said: "Yes, I'm so hungry that I don't just eat the table, I eat a child in one mouthful."
Huang Xiaoyan couldn't hold it back, covered her lips and giggled.
"Hurry up and wash the vegetables. I can start cooking right away."
"I know, I know. If it weren't for my short hands, I would have washed it several times by now."
"Qingsong, let mother come."
Zhang Qingsong refused, "Mom, just sit back and relax. I'm used to giving my father a hand. We have a tacit understanding and can go faster."
"Ha." A sneer, representing his father's silent rebuttal.
Yunfei stopped teasing his son and concentrated on cooking.
Chickens bought from neighbors, fish and shrimps, vegetables, pork and other things bought from the market.
There was a table full of dishes, and a bottle of red wine was even bought.
A family of three had a good reunion dinner for the first time in three years.
They were picking up food, serving rice, and pouring wine for each other, as if they were part of a beautiful family. The smiles on the faces of the three of them never fell.
There was no need to worry when it was time to go to bed. Huang Xiaoyan slept by herself, and Yunfei and Zhang Qingsong also slept alone.
As early as when he made money, he bought the house next to the cabin half a year ago.
It is easier to buy and sell a house now, but it will be difficult to want a house in this location later.
The owner of the house next door was also in urgent need of money, otherwise he would not sell it. It was just that his family was going abroad, so they chose to cash out.
After buying it, Yunfei rebuilt the house into a two-story house.
It's a very low-key two-story building with gray bricks and white ash on the walls.
The first floor is the kitchen, living room and dining room, and the three small rooms on the second floor are just enough for their family.
The corridor on the first floor has been used as a toilet and bathing room. Even if I buy the adjacent one, the location is actually not very large.
It is only the size of two original cabins, but the conditions are already very good.
After all, it is my own house, and it is a small two-story house with everything it should have. In the original hut, there was only a urine bucket, so I had to save enough to empty it.
Those who are more particular about large sizes go to the public restroom, while those who are not particular about it still poop in the bucket.
Therefore, many people's homes smell like excrement.
It is really not easy to have a toilet.
Anyway, Yun Fei and Zhang Qingsong were quite satisfied. They were the same group of people who ran to the public toilet without holding their breath.
…………
Huang Xiaoyan thought she might have insomnia, but she didn't expect to wake up at dawn.
There was the sound of birds outside the window, and on the dressing table by the window, there was a vase with fresh flowers in it, exuding a delicate fragrance.
The bedding and everything else are in her favorite colors, and they also have the fragrance of sun-drying.
The room was elegantly decorated, and although it looked like a simple building on the outside, it had floor tiles on the inside.
In this day and age, there are still very few people who are willing to lay floor tiles, so she did not feel uncomfortable at all while living there.
all is well.
After going downstairs, she found that only Yunfei was there. She was a little embarrassed, "I went to bed late. Has Qingsong gone to school?"
"Well, it's time to go to school. It's only around seven o'clock, which is still early. If you're sleepy, you can go back and take a nap. There's nothing going on at home. Breakfast is warmed for you."
Huang Xiaoyan didn't know what to do, so she went to the toilet to wash up.
Toothbrushes, towels, slippers and other supplies were all unopened, and she knew they were for her.
Even though they didn't know yet whether they would agree to come back, they still prepared their things and waited for her to come home.
Yes, go home.
Many sisters in the dance hall did not agree with her decision to come back, saying that this man could abandon you once and he could abandon you a second time.
Let her not be stupid, money is the only thing that matters to her.
But she still chose to leave. She didn't want to be a dancer for the rest of her life. She missed her son, and she also wanted to try to trust the person who brought her meals every day.
If she made the wrong choice, she admitted it.
At that time, she was not sold to the dance hall. She came to the dance hall voluntarily. After all, it was different.
After missing this time, she didn't know how difficult it would be to leave in the future.
After washing, she tied her hair casually and came out, went to the kitchen and asked, "Is there anything I can do for you?"
"Hello Aunt Yan."
"Hello Aunt Yan."
Brother Ding Wang and his sister stood up to greet her. They heard yesterday that Qingsong's mother was back and wanted to come and have a look, but they were afraid of being accused of being a freebie, so they refrained from coming.
During this year, they often followed Yunfei to deliver meals to Huang Xiaoyan, and everyone was familiar with it.
"Xiaowang and Lanlan came here so early?"
"Well, come to work."
"Don't rush to help. Let's have breakfast first." Yunfei just took out three breakfasts from the pot.
"We will go to the stall later. If you want to go, you can go and have fun. If you don't want to, just rest at home. The sun is so bright outside, so it's okay not to go."
"It's okay, let me go and help."
Although she brought back a lot of money, she still didn't want to lie down at home eating and drinking.
You should always try to integrate into the current life of this family.
"OK."
Yun Fei didn't stop him either. As for the rumors, as long as they didn't care, those people would lose interest after a few days.
………
Sure enough, there were many people pointing fingers along the way, but none of them paid any attention to those people.
Yunfei was afraid that Huang Xiaoyan would feel uncomfortable, so he comforted him: "These words are unavoidable at any time, so don't take them to heart.
If you feel uncomfortable, we can sell this place or move. No matter what you think, Qingsong and I will support you. "
Huang Xiaoyan smiled lightly, "I'm fine. I've heard it so much in the past few years that I don't care anymore."
Dancing girls are discriminated against in their job, and they have long known that.
Gossip is nothing, there is something even more outrageous.
For example, she once wanted to buy a bag of pears, but was driven away by the grandmother who was selling them.
Grandma said she wouldn’t accept dirty money and wouldn’t sell it to her.
That time she went back and cried bitterly, not wanting to pack up her emotions and face tomorrow.
