When the in-laws meet for the first time, the topic of conversation will naturally be about praising each other's children.
With Zhao Ruozhu here, there is no need to worry about being awkward in such an occasion. She can take everyone into consideration and let everyone participate in the topic to some extent.
Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangnian rarely spoke, and their hands were clasped together under the dining table.
From time to time, Yu Xiangnian turned his head and winked at Cheng Jingmo, who smiled knowingly at her.
Seeing the love between the two, the two parents were the happiest, especially Zhao Ruozhu.
At first, she saw that Cheng Jingmo was excellent in all aspects and almost forced Yu Xiangnian to marry him.
After the two got married, she never missed any opportunity to bring them together, and they were finally happy.
The dishes were served one after another, and everyone began to eat.
Cheng Jingmo peeled a shrimp and gave it to Yu Xiangnian. When he was about to peel the second shrimp, Yu Xiangnian stopped him.
Lin Yunyi knows that she likes to eat shrimp, and eating shrimp is good for pregnant women. She eats shrimp at least once a week at home, and she is tired of eating it.
Lin Ye was eating a green vegetable and asked, "What kind of vegetable is this? I've never eaten it before."
"Stir-fried water spinach." Zhao Ruozhu said, "This kind of dish is rare in the north."
"Oh!" Lin Ye picked up another chopstick, "Then I want to eat more!"
Zhao Ruozhu smiled, "I often hear you talking to Xiang Yang on the phone, and today I finally met you in person."
Lin Ye naturally cared about Zhao Ruozhu's impression of her, and quickly asked: "Auntie, am I okay?"
"Of course!" Zhao Ruozhu said, "You can be admitted to Beijing University at such a young age. You are smart and beautiful! Auntie likes you!"
This is Zhao Ruozhu's true words.
Lin Ye is a child who is simple and clever, very lovable.
After receiving Zhao Ruozhu's affirmation, Lin Ye felt happy.
The meal ended in a harmonious atmosphere.
When leaving, Zhao Ruozhu said politely: "The family's house may not be suitable for you. In-laws, you can stay at our house."
Before Song Huaiqian could refuse, Lin volunteered, "I'll go! I'll go!"
Yu Xiangnian leaned close to her ear and whispered, "You won't see Yu Xiangyang if you live there. He usually lives in the dormitory."
Lin Ye immediately changed his mind, "I'm not going, I want to live with my sister-in-law and the others!"
She thought that by living in Yu Xiangyang's house, she could see Yu Xiangyang every day!
Song Huaiqian then spoke slowly, "I heard from Jing Mo that the house has been decorated and we can live in it, so I won't disturb you. In two days, we will come for a formal visit."
In two days, their things should arrive.
You have to bring something with you to visit. No one goes to visit the in-laws empty-handed.
When we returned to the family compound, the sun had already set and it was not yet dark.
At this time, the family home is the most lively, with women and children gathering in the playground to chat and play.
The family members also learned from Liu Zhen and Wang Hongxiang that Yu Xiangnian was back today!
I don’t know who said, “Look, that’s Comrade Yu!”
The women looked up and saw Cheng Jingmo carrying a box in one hand and supporting Yu Xiangnian with the other.
Yu Xiangnian was helped a little helplessly.
She could walk normally, but Cheng Jingmo was worried and had to help her.
Look again, isn’t that kid Xiaojie!
I haven’t seen you in more than four months, and I’ve grown taller again!
Also, Yu Xiangyang was carrying a box in one hand. Next to him was an unknown young girl, and behind him were two equally unknown people.
Feng Aiqin hurriedly walked over to say hello, "Comrade Yu, I have been looking forward to you for several days, and I finally see you today!"
"Ouch! My belly is so big!" Feng Aiqin looked at her belly and said.
"Sister-in-law Aiqin, long time no see." Yu Xiangnian said with a smile.
"That's right! Everyone misses you during your absence!" Feng Aiqin said.
One after another, family members came over to say hello, and Yu Xiangnian could hardly cope with it.
Everyone said one thing to the other:
"Comrade Yu, how long will you be back this time?"
"You're pregnant, why haven't you changed at all?"
"Comrade Yu, how are you doing in Beijing?"
"Comrade Yu, who are these of yours?"
“···”
Song Huaiqian and the others did not expect that Yu Xiangnian would be so popular in the family home.
The atmosphere of this courtyard is completely different from that of the compound.
The neighbors in the compound, maybe because everyone is very busy or because they are all intellectuals, everyone has a good sense of proportion and talks about things concisely and to the point.
I have never seen anyone chasing after me asking this and that.
Yu Xiangnian answered everyone's questions along the way and walked for seven or eight minutes before returning home.
Most of the family members dispersed, but Feng Aiqin followed.
"Sister-in-law Aiqin, do you have anything else?" Yu Xiangnian asked.
Feng Aiqin said: "It's like this, you see, it's August 1st again soon, and this family still has two programs. You are physically inconvenient, but you sing well, otherwise why don't you go on stage and sing a song?"
Yu Xiangyang listened silently, but he was thinking in his heart: Do you still want her to go on stage and perform like a dog eating shit?
Yu Xiangnian thought of what happened last year and no longer wanted to do any show with them.
"Sister-in-law Aiqin, I can't." Yu Xiangnian refused without hesitation, "I can't breathe even when I walk, so how can I have the strength to sing!"
Feng Aiqin was a little disappointed, but she didn't force it, "Okay, then you can take good care of yourself and watch our performance in the audience!"
After seeing off Feng Aiqin, Wang Hongxiang and Liu Zhen came to chat for a while.
After more than four months, Yu Xiangnian once again returned to the center of topic in the family home.
Tonight, every couple was lying on the bed, talking about Yu Xiangnian.
"Deputy Commander Cheng's biological parents are here! Vice Commander Cheng looks quite similar to his father. I heard that both of them are intellectuals in Beijing!"
"I really didn't expect that Deputy Commander Cheng's family background is so good!"
In fact, Cheng Jingmo made a report explaining the situation after he returned to the army.
The troop leader knew that he had found his biological parents and what their identities were.
Because there is only one washroom, you can only wash them one by one.
Cheng Jingmo had already filled all the hot water bottles at home to ensure the supply of hot water.
While Yu Xiangnian was taking a bath, Song Huaiqian and the others visited the home.
The house is very clean, the beds are made, and there is a yard outside.
When I walked to the yard, I saw vegetables growing in the vegetable field and two chickens in cages.
Lin Ye said excitedly: "With such a fat chicken, the braised chicken must be delicious!"
Xiaojie: "..."
"You must have been busy for several days alone." Lin Yunyi said while visiting.
"It's not busy either."
The three of them visited the house once and found that the conditions were poor and the house was small, but clean and tidy.
Cheng Jingmo said: "Teacher Song, Teacher Lin, you will stay in this room tonight. Lin Ye, is it okay for you to sleep there?"
He pointed to the folding bed in the corner. Two nails were nailed to the wall above the bed, and a wire was pulled from them. A curtain was hung on the wire.
Lin is not a pretentious person, she has also seen the conditions here.
"No problem," she said.
