80s: The Farmer’s Wife Is The Boss

Chapter 25, wooden floor

“Yes, grandma is getting older. It doesn’t matter what she looks like. Comfort is the most important thing. If summer clothes are uncomfortable, you will feel uncomfortable.”

The two became good friends as they chatted. Lixia knew that she would have to go home tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, so she asked Mei Xue to play at home.

Of course Mei Xue agrees, but let’s talk about whether we go there or not.

It wasn’t until lunch time when Grandma He came over to call for help that Mei Xue and Lixia stopped talking.

Mei Xue didn’t expect that she could be so good at chatting, and hours passed by just talking.

"Grandma, what time is it for lunch?" Mei Xue said with some confusion.

"You kid, don't you always scream for dinner early on weekdays? What's wrong today? Are you not hungry anymore?" When Grandma He came to Aunt Meilian, she saw Xiaoxue and Lixia talking and laughing there, and she felt confused. Everyone is happy.

Xiaoxue is much more open-minded than when she first arrived, but who knows if she deliberately deceived herself to be happy?

 After all, her parents had only passed away so long, so sadness was inevitable. She just couldn't bear to make Xiaoxue sad.

“Grandma.” Mei Xue felt a little embarrassed.

 Looking like this, there is no trace of the previous image. They are just two people.

"Okay, okay, grandma won't say anything." Grandma He nodded at Xiaoxue who was holding her hand, then looked at Meilian and Lixia, "Let's go home and have dinner."

“Third grandma, we won’t go. Dad and Anliang will be back soon. We can just cook something at home.” Lixia was a little afraid of this third grandma, mainly because she was too fierce.

 Normally, my mother always asks me to learn more from my third grandma, but how dare I do that?

“Let your father and the others come over to eat when they come back. If you happen to have dinner, I won’t give your mother any money to offset your mother’s wages.” After saying this, Grandma He laughed.

Aunt Mei Lian also smiled, "That relationship is great, it can make a difference." She knew that the third aunt was right and refused to leave even after being called, for fear that the third aunt would get angry.

“Lixia holds the child, let’s go to your third grandma’s house for dinner. The food at your third grandma’s house is delicious.” Aunt Meilian joked.

 “It’s just your nose that’s good.”

Meilian's family went to Grandma He's house for dinner and it was soon known to other families. They also knew that Xiaoxue had asked Meilian to make clothes for Grandma He with a piece of cloth.

 Everyone praised Xiaoxue for her filial piety, but Grandma He couldn't close her mouth with joy.

 The dishes on the dinner table were not very good, they were all homemade, including an egg soup. Because Lixia wanted to nurse the baby, she cracked two poached eggs and let her eat alone.

I fried eggplant, cowpeas, and the remaining bone soup, and each person got a bowl. The beef jerky was not fried. The main part was not ready yet. It would be a pity to fry it. There was still more than half a bowl of oil residue at home, which was eaten by Grandma He. Take it out and fry it.

 Simple farm side dishes, but a large portion, enough for six people.

“Eat quickly, I’ll save some food for Zhengcai and Anliang.” Grandma He took out a large bowl from the cupboard and left half of the oil residue out.

 There are eggplants and cowpeas, and another third of the bowl is left.

Seeing Grandma He like this, Aunt Meilian felt embarrassed, "There are too many third aunts, too much, and they can't eat them."

Grandma He rolled her eyes at Mei Lian and said, "They all do strenuous work, why can't they eat? I said they can eat if they can."

Meixue didn’t say a word anyway. She sat with Lixia and waited quietly for her grandma to sit down.

“I cut down so many trees every day. If I don’t have enough food, I won’t have the energy to work in the afternoon.” Grandma He was very fond of her children.

 Except for one or two house-rubbers among the main families, the other families get along very harmoniously.

"An Liang is still growing. You can't miss him in eating and drinking. If your body bones don't grow well, you won't have anywhere to cry in the future."

Hearing these instructions from the third aunt, Aunt Mei Lian felt very cordial.

　　When she got married, her mother-in-law never kissed her like this.

 “Well, I’ll listen to my third aunt.”

"Listen to me. If you listen to me, you can send Lixia back. What's the point of living in her parents' house all the time? She has to live there for a few months." Grandma He is a hard-spoken but soft-hearted person.

Lixia knew that she had gone too far this time, and her attitude of admitting her mistake was a good one. "Don't worry, Third Grandma, I will go back tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I guarantee that you won't see me for half a year."

"Hmph, I don't want to see you. Take good care of your child at home. When the child is older, adjust your body to have another child. It doesn't matter whether you are a man or a woman. Two children are enough. Don't try too hard to give birth. It's not good for a woman's health."

Listen, listen, these words are really heart-warming.

Mei Xue now also knows why her grandmother has a bad reputation, but everyone respects her.

 Just because her heart is good.

“Okay, I’ll listen to Third Grandma.” She had never kissed her grandma since she was a child, and the only kiss she called her was Third Grandma.

 When she was a child, she got a lot of delicious food from her third grandma.

　　"You shameless person, drink the soup quickly, drink both bowls of soup, don't starve the child."

Meixue couldn't stand it any longer. Grandma didn't care about her anymore. "Grandma."

Looking at her grandson's daughter-in-law's fierce look, Grandma He glared at her angrily, "She's your sister, she's not sensible and you're not sensible either?"

This is what I said.

Lixia was speechless, "Grandma, I am the elder sister, and I am more sensible than Xiaoxue."

The four of them got along very happily. Lixia had to hold her child while eating, so she ate slowly and everyone was not in a hurry. They all waited for her, saving her the awkwardness of being alone at the table.

 After all, this is not her home.

While eating, Grandma He and Aunt Meilian were talking.

 Mei Xue didn’t understand what she was talking about and didn’t want to ask any more questions. She just finished eating and helped Sister Lixia hold the baby.

　　When she finally heard Aunt Mei Lian say that she liked wooden floors, Mei Xue raised her head, teasing the child, and looked at her grandma.

Grandma He glanced at Mei Xue and nodded, "We have timber at home, but they were too eager to get married, otherwise we would have to renovate the two rooms on the west."

 Speaking of this, Grandma He felt sorry for Xiaoxue again.

 Marriage is the biggest event in a woman's life, but it was delayed by her grandson.

 No one has come back so far.

"Grandma is fine. We are pretending to be the same now. If there is not enough wood, I will go to the mountain to cut it tomorrow. I am strong, so it won't take long."

Looking at grandma's loving eyes, Mei Xue felt warm in her heart.

"There is no need for you. These things have been prepared a few years ago. If you like, ask someone to come to your house to install it for you in two days. It will just happen to repair those two rooms so that you can live comfortably when you have children." ”

Grandma is really thinking long term.

However, Mei Xue has no objection. She does not resist giving birth to a child, but the partner may not necessarily be He Anze.

 If she is not satisfied, she will... divorce her husband!

“Grandma, let’s wait and do it after the Chinese New Year. Don’t do it this year.” Mei Xue felt that it would be better to renovate all the houses after she has money, so that she would not feel sad.
