The next day, the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Xia got up and started packing her things. At this time, Wu Liang's voice sounded outside the door.
"Sister, have a great New Year!"
He came here today to pay New Year's greetings to Fat Sister and others. Unexpectedly, his sister came back. He didn't care about looking for other people and rushed over directly.
"Ah, you have changed a lot!" Wu Xia glanced at his brother who was wearing a toad mirror and said.
"I went for a trip to the south." He said and took out a small black box from his pocket.
"Sister, I brought you a good thing on this trip."
As he spoke, he took out the contents of the box.
Wu Xia looked left and right to see what it was. Wu Liang said: "This is called a pager. From now on, I can call my sister to page..."
Wu Liang began to introduce the various wonderful uses of pagers to his sister. Although Wu Xia came from modern times, in her time, pagers had long become history, so it was very novel to hear them.
After listening to what he said, Wu Xia accepted the pager and then asked his brother about the production situation in the brick factory.
Wu Xia nodded repeatedly while listening to what his brother said. Wu Liang did have some talent in business. The brick factory had received several orders of business since it opened the kiln. Although it has not yet recovered its capital, it can be imagined that it will be prosperous in the future. .
Before the siblings could finish chatting, the soldiers had already come over to pay New Year greetings. Seeing these young men shouting Happy New Year to him in unison, Wu Xia smiled and took out fruit candies to entertain them.
After having another lunch with Fat Sister and the others, Wu Xia and Xu Guoping set off again to return to the provincial capital.
Xu Guoping said to Wu Xia while driving: "You have worked hard this year. Next year we will celebrate the New Year in the same place, so we can't make any more trouble."
Wu Xia glanced at him and said nothing. He didn't know if he could finish this month. Who knew where he would spend the Spring Festival next year...
Late at night, they finally returned to the provincial capital. Xu Guoping said it was too late. They would find a guest house to sleep first and wait until tomorrow to go home. Wu Xia didn't care where they lived, they just wanted to find a place to lie down quickly. The children were also exhausted and had fallen asleep in the back seat.
She didn't even know how she got into the room. When she woke up again, it was already noon the next day.
After taking the children to eat something, they drove back to her mother-in-law's house. Zhang Cuilan was heartbroken when she saw how haggard they looked. She didn't let them do anything for the whole day, and just let them rest in bed while mumbling : "Next time, you can just go back to Pingcheng. You don't have to bother coming back. Look at how exhausted you are!"
Wu Xia smiled and said nothing, and Zhang Cuilan secretly said to her wife: "My daughter-in-law is really a good kid. She always smiles no matter what she says. That person was so embarrassed when I said a word. It's a good thing that Guoping is not with her." Together."
Xu Qingjun said: "Okay, don't mention Shujuan in front of your daughter-in-law in the future. It's all in the past."
Zhang Cuilan pinched his ears: "Shujuan, Shujuan, look at how kindly you call me, why do you think that after I die, you will take me home and be my son's baby mother?"
"Hey, stop talking nonsense with your mouth."
After resting like this for a whole day, on the morning of the third day of the Lunar New Year, Wu Xia felt that all the fatigue in his body had been swept away.
She was going to show off her skills today and cook a meal for her mother-in-law and the others. She was carrying a shopping basket and was about to go out to buy groceries. At this time, she heard someone knocking on the door. Wu Xia quickly went out and opened the door, and saw Huang Shujuan standing outside the door.
She came with Ding Yan, and as soon as she entered the door, she said happy new year to Wu Xia with a smile on her face.
Although Wu Xia felt resentful when he saw her, he couldn't kick her out when people came to pay New Year's greetings.
What's more, she wasn't sure what Guoping was thinking. If she couldn't forget Bai Yueguang, why would she bother to be such a bad person.
She stepped aside to let the two of them in, and said to Ding Yan, "Guoping is in the kitchen, are you here to see him?"
Wu Xia raised his voice and shouted towards the kitchen: "Guoping, Ding Yan and Huang Shujuan are here. Come out and pick up the guests."
Xu Guoping came out with a look of surprise on his face: "Why are you here?"
Especially when he saw Huang Shujuan wishing him New Year's greetings with a cute look, he quickly turned to look at Wu Xia. Seeing that she didn't show any dissatisfaction, he said to the two of them: "Let's sit in the living room."
Wu Xia said calmly: "I'm going to buy groceries, and you guys can chat slowly."
As she said this, she went out with the vegetable basket, walking in and out just like a normal wife would do when she was a visitor at home. Xu Guoping looked at her leaving back, and it took him a long time to look back.
"I'll boil water for you to make tea." Xu Guoping walked towards the kitchen. He had just picked the last vegetable. He planned to finish picking this vegetable before getting the kettle in.
Huang Shujuan followed him in. When she saw Xu Guoping picking vegetables skillfully, she bit her lips jealously.
In the beginning, when she and Xu Guoping were getting along, he took good care of her, but she had never been in the kitchen, and seeing him as a cook made her feel strange.
Is he willing to go to the kitchen for Wu Xia? Is he really willing to cook for a woman?
Could it be that he really fell in love with that woman? What good was that woman worth doing?
She didn't want to admit that Xu Guoping loved Wu Xia more than she loved herself.
Not to mention Xu Guoping, none of the men she met this year said they went to the kitchen to do work. This was originally a woman's job!
"What are you doing here?" Xu Guoping frowned when he saw her coming in.
This vigilant look made Huang Shujuan feel uncomfortable. Before, the two of them were a man and woman passionately in love, but now they have become like this because of the existence of that woman?
"I asked Ding Yan to come over to express my gratitude to you. I wanted to set up a table for you to drink, but I didn't know that it made Wu Xia jealous. I'm sorry, I didn't expect her to be like this. After all, so many of us have been playing together since childhood. To the big ones..."
Before she could finish her tea talk, Xu Guoping finished picking vegetables, took the kettle and walked out, leaving Huang Shujuan alone to talk about her loneliness.
She looked at Xu Guoping's back and gritted her teeth. At this time, Zhang Cuilan came back from outside, and her face darkened when she saw Huang Shujuan's presence.
"Why are you coming to my house? Aren't you about to get married? Don't just go to other people's houses in the future."
Seeing Zhang Cuilan looking at her like a vixen, Huang Shujuan felt even more unhappy. Before, she was just a little jealous with Wu Xia and planned to go back in a few days. Now she has changed her mind, even if she doesn't want it. , no one else can even imagine it.
She rolled her eyes and mentioned to Zhang Cuilan the friendship between their generations. For the sake of the older generation, Zhang Cuilan couldn't just drive her away, so she had to go for a walk by herself, out of sight and out of mind.
Before leaving, he raised his voice and said, "Guoping, please entertain the guests well at home, so that no one will think that we don't understand the rules."
