Rebirth 1980: The heroine returns her prodigal son

Chapter 8 Relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law

Russell Lan is a relatively Shen family person. Although he is also greedy for that big pot of dumplings, he can restrain himself.

"Mom, my second brother brought these dumplings. I wonder why my younger brother and sister are making trouble with him at home."

Zhang Guiying continued to pick up the awl and put it into the shoe sole.

"Beichen said she asked for it, so why is she making a fuss?"

Russell Lan snorted in his heart, but his face still looked considerate.

"Mom, my second brother can't tell the truth in front of you, right? My brother and sister have always been unreasonable, and it's not like you don't know that."

Zhang Guiying paused and looked at Russell Lan.

"Is this really going to cause a fuss?"

Russell Lan looked at the large pot of dumplings, reluctant to part with them, and said quickly.

"I've already sent you this. There's no point in sending it back. I guess we've already made a fuss. But Ye Xing doesn't know how to make a fuss. Will he not even cook for his second brother?"

Zhang Guiying naturally knew that Ye Xing was a good eater and was lazy, so she never cooked for the children before. Otherwise, how could the hungry children knock on doors all over the village and beg for food?

She put down the soles of her shoes and leaned against the wall, thinking whether she should go see her grandson and granddaughter.

Just as I was thinking about it, three and a half-year-old children came in from outside. The tallest daughter had grown up with thick eyebrows and big eyes. She was handsome but also pretty. She called her mother as soon as she came in.

Zhang Guiying nodded, "Hurry and take your little nephews to wash their hands."

Russell Lan gave birth to two sons to Lu Dashan. Many people in the village envied him. They all said that Lu Dashan was lucky and that the old Lu family was lucky. There would be no shortage of people to work in the family in the future.

When Ye Xing saw Lu Beichen coming back, although he really wanted to ask her mother-in-law if she had said anything, there were guests at home, so she refrained from asking.

It wasn't until after dinner, when Aunt Liu and Aunt Wang helped Ye Xing wash all the pots and bowls, that Ye Xing went to ask Lu Beichen.

Lu Beichen said that his mother was very happy, and Ye Xing secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that there was hope for repairing the relationship with her mother-in-law.

As for the sister-in-law who stirred up trouble, she should be getting married soon anyway. In her previous life, she was planning to get married at this time.

Ye Xing held the sleeping Hui Lin in his arms and said while gently rocking her.

"Beichen, our family is really broke after this meal. I was wondering if we could do something else to make some money?"

Lu Beichen took out twelve yuan from his pocket and handed it to Ye Xing.

"One piece is twenty one pound. I cut six pounds of meat and five cents of carrots."

When Ye Xing heard him talking about carrots, his eyes immediately lit up.

"By the way, there are a lot of cabbages in our vegetable field, as well as tomatoes, cucumbers, and beans. We can't eat them all anyway. Let's take them to the county to sell them tomorrow."

Lu Beichen did not object, his eyes fell on his daughter's little face.

"Send the children to my mother's place."

Ye Xing hesitated and asked cautiously.

"Mom...are you willing to babysit my child?"

Lu Beichen smiled and said, "I'll send it off."

Before dawn the next day, Ye Xing and Lu Beichen took the baskets and went to the vegetable garden behind.

This was cultivated by Lu Beichen, and he did grow a lot of things. In addition to these vegetables, he also planted some flowers.

Ye Xing looked at the flowers and frowned, "Why are you planting this? It's a waste of land."

Lu Beichen picked the cucumbers and put them into the basket. He raised his head and looked at her.

"That's what you asked me to plant for you."

Ye Xing: "..."

It seems true. At that time, her mind was full of romantic and troublesome thoughts, and she forced Lu Beichen to plant flowers for her. At that time, she said, why did she grow so many vegetables? She couldn't eat them all, and the flowers looked so beautiful.

Ye Xing really wanted to slap himself twice. The flowers were obviously useless, right? Then he felt distressed again. If vegetables could be grown in this area, they could be sold to the county for money.

The two picked a large basket full of vegetables. They put the beans and cucumbers into snakeskin bags, and put the cabbage and tomatoes into the basket.

Ye Xing looked at the sky and saw that the sun had slowly begun to rise.

"I'm going to wake up the children. We have to walk for more than two hours to get to the county. It will be after eight o'clock when we get there, just in time to catch the morning market."

Lu Beichen nodded. Ye Xing was about to lift the basket, but Lu Beichen lifted it up before her.

He was carrying a snakeskin bag in one hand and a basket in the other. Ye Xing followed him with a shovel and a bundle of green onions.

After putting the vegetables in the yard, the two of them went into the house, washed their hands, and went to dress the children.

As soon as Lu Beichen touched Lu Guoqing, he woke up, rubbed his eyes and got up.

"dad"

Lu Beichen threw the clothes to him.

"Hurry up and get dressed and go to grandma's house."

The child who had just woken up was still confused.

"Why are you going to grandma's house? Can you not go?"

"Can't"

No more talking on National Day.

Ye Xing said while dressing Hui Lin.

"On National Day, you and your sister will stay at grandma's house for a while. Mom and your dad will be back at noon and make lunch for you."

When Ye Xing spoke, Guo Qing didn't dare to say that he didn't want to go, so he could only nod timidly.

"good"

Hui Lin didn't even wake up when Lu Beichen took her away. Ye Xing was afraid that she would be cold, so he wrapped her in a quilt and let Lu Beichen take her away.

People in rural areas all get up early. When Lu Beichen went there, Russell Lan was already making breakfast, and Zhang Guiying was still sitting on the kang to collect the soles of her shoes.

Seeing that Lu Beichen had brought his granddaughter and grandson to her, he quickly cleared the bed and gave Hui Lin a pillow to sleep on.

"National Day, why are you here?"

Guo Qing lowered his head and said nothing. His mother had not allowed him to come to grandma's house before, so when he and his sister were starving, he did not dare to come to grandma's house to ask for food.

Seeing that her grandson was so disconnected from her, Zhang Guiying felt even more disgusted with Ye Xing, because it was her mother who taught her grandson to be like this.

Russell Lan came in with an apron tied around his waist and a big spoon in his hand.

"Here for National Day and Hui Lin?"

She smiled and touched Lu Guoqing's head, looking like a good sister-in-law to Lu Beichen.

"Is her mother busy again? It's okay. Just leave the child at home and my mother and I will take care of it for you."

"Thank you, sister-in-law. Ye Xing and I want to tidy up the vegetable garden. There are too many vegetables at home and we can't finish them. Let's see if we can sell them."

Zhang Guiying was gently patting her granddaughter to coax her to sleep. When she heard Lu Beichen's words, she couldn't help but look up at him.

In the past, no matter whether it was the boss's family or the talkative women in the village, no matter what she said, she, the second brat, would not explain it, but this time she defended his wife.

Lu Beichen told Lu Guoqing to listen to his grandma and take good care of his sister, and then left.

Russell Lan looked at Zhang Guiying staring at her little granddaughter with fondness, her eyes darkened.

"Mom, I'll wake up Hui Ru and let her play with Hui Lin during the National Day."

When Lu Beichen came back, he was pushing a 28-inch bicycle. Ye Xing had a look of surprise on his face.

"Where did you get it?"

Originally, Lu Beichen's job relocation subsidy could buy a bicycle, but buying this thing requires a bicycle ticket. How can a country person get this thing? Later, all the money was squandered by Ye Xing, and now he can't afford it even if he wants to.
