Chapter 107
After finishing a bowl of white rice porridge, Mrs. Sun said, "Old man, just sleep for a while, cover yourself tightly, and sweat." After covering the bed with the quilt, Mrs. Sun left the room and went to the kitchen.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he saw that his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were washing pots and dishes. Mrs. Sun quickly stepped forward and said, "I'm here. I can do all these. You go and rest for a while. I can't just eat and not work."

Mrs. Wang wiped her hands and took Mrs. Sun, and said: "My mother-in-law will do this work. You can live here peacefully and don't have any burdens. Just take good care of your father-in-law. The Chinese New Year will be celebrated the day after tomorrow. I will recover." Now we can sit together and have New Year’s Eve dinner, which will definitely be very lively.”

Mrs. Sun said with red eyes: "Thank you so much, in-laws. I don't even know how to thank you."

Mrs. Wang comforted her: "If you don't know what to say, don't say it. It's too irritating that the whole family is saying those things. I'm a few years older than you, so just call me sister from now on!"

Ms. Sun nodded with tears in her eyes. At this time, Ms. Lin said, "Mom, I will take you to try on the new clothes I made for you. If they don't fit, I will change them. We will wear new clothes during the Chinese New Year!"

Wang laughed and said, "Yes, let's try it. Honglian has been working on it for several days!"

Mrs. Sun smiled and nodded, Mrs. Lin took her hand and left the kitchen.

The kitchen had been cleaned up, and Mrs. Wang asked: "First wife, second wife, I will bring the parents of your third brother and sister over. What do you think? Will you feel uncomfortable?"

Mrs. Zhang said: "No, if I were the third brother and sister, I might do the same. My mother and I are not the only children, and my brothers are also around, so I usually miss but don't worry about my parents having no one to take care of them. But the third brother and sister are different."

Mrs. Li also said: "Mom, don't worry, I don't have any objections. Thanks to the three of us having such a good mother-in-law, otherwise no one would have objections if we left it at home."

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "I'm happy if you two don't complain. After all, Honglian will take care of you from now on, and we can't help."

Mrs. Zhang said: "From now on, Wenxiu and I will do more of the work at home. It's not a heavy job."

Mrs. Li also said: "Yes, Mom, don't worry about us. Now that the family's conditions have improved, it's all thanks to Qibao. We can't object to her honoring her grandparents. That's really not human." !”

Mrs. Wang smiled and said: "Okay, I know you two are good sisters-in-law. If you don't have any objections, mom can rest assured. Okay, let's fry some meatballs now and save them for the New Year!"

……

Soon the day of the New Year came. The Xu family had been busy for two days and prepared a lot of dishes. Even every household in the village smelled of meat. The children in the village may have been infected by the new atmosphere of the New Year. They often heard them talking in the village. The playful figures and the laughter like silver bells spread far away...

Old Lin's illness has improved a lot, and he can now get out of bed. The old man took Old Lin and taught him to play backgammon together. The two of them were about the same age, so they were quite good at talking.

Mrs. Sun was preparing the New Year's Eve dinner with the Xu family in the kitchen. Although everyone was busy, the smiles on their faces were very happy.

Qibao was gathering with his brother and the others, taking out all the snacks in the space. The brothers were surprised when they saw these colorful packaging bags. They had never seen such beautiful patterns before!
Xu Wenwu asked: "Sister, what is this? It feels bulging. Isn't this oil paper?"

Qibao said: "This is a wonderful crispy corner. This bag is not made of oil paper. It is a packaging made of materials we don't have here. I will bring some plates later and we will put the food into the plates. I want these packaging Take it back and don't let others see it!" Xu Wenwu immediately got up and ran to the kitchen to ask for a few clean plates from Mrs. Zhang, and together they helped put the snacks on the plates.

Qibao took the empty packaging bag back, while Xiaoliu was a little reluctant to part with it. He liked the pattern on it.

Xiao Wu said: "Aren't these chicken feet? They don't have any color, how can they be delicious?"

Qibao said: "This is chicken feet soaked in feet. It tastes delicious and spicy. Brother Wu, don't you know if it tastes good after you try it?"

Xiao Wu reached out and picked up a chicken foot, put it in his mouth and took a bite. After chewing, the spicy taste gradually spread in his mouth. Xiao Wu sipped his lips and said, "It's spicy, but it's delicious. The more you eat it, the better it tastes!"

Qibao said: "This is made from pickled peppers. It's much spicier than ordinary peppers. Don't eat too much, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable!"

The children ate happily. They had never eaten such delicious food. Qibao became more playful and put the crispy corners on his fingers. He followed the instructions from the advertisements he had seen in his previous life. Little Five and Little Six were similar. He followed the example and even stretched out his hands to show the moves, making everyone laugh happily.

Until Mrs. Wang and the others put all the prepared New Year's Eve dinner on the table, and after everyone was seated, the old man took out all the wine and said happily: "It's a new year again, but this year is different from previous years. Everyone knows why. I hope our family can always be so united and loving in the future. I believe this is just the beginning and it will get better and better in the future!"

The Xu family applauded very much.

The old man pressed his hands, coughed lightly and said, "Also, Brother Lin and Sister Sun will live in our house from now on. Everyone should treat them like me and my wife, you know?"

"I know!" The whole family replied neatly.

Old Man Lin said: "In-laws, Honglian's mother and I have discussed it. We still plan to return to Houniu Village after the New Year. The two of us can't help the children, so we won't drag them back!"

The old man was reluctant when he heard it, and said: "Who said that getting older will slow you down? The children are working hard, and we have to do more to help them reduce their burden. My wife and I only started to learn to read at this age, but we just don't want to The children will develop well in the future. Why are they being laughed at by others because their family is uneducated? Besides, Qibao is also your granddaughter. This broken bone is still connected to the tendons. This family business is earned by Qibao. You should give Qibao a Take the opportunity to honor your filial piety and live in peace of mind!”

Mrs. Sun sighed and said: "Then I will say it directly without beating around the bush, just because it is easy to say but not easy to hear. People who are good will say that the Xu family is kind and generous, and those who are bad will say that the Xu family is taken advantage of. Keeping two mouths for nothing will eventually have an impact on the Xu family."

The old man knew that they were thinking about the Xu family, and in order not to burden them, he took a step back and said: "Qibao has already told me that she plans to build a brewery and wants you to take charge of it. How about this, we will be there The brewery will build a small courtyard, and you will live in it. Anyway, they are all in the same village, and it is easy to take care of. The brewery built by our family is looked after by our own family, and others cannot fault it. Isn't that right?"

Old man Lin hesitated after hearing this. He also wanted to see his daughter and grandchildren every day, so he said, "Aren't you afraid that it will cost the Xu family? They have to build a small courtyard for us to live in."

The old man said: "What's the point? It doesn't cost much at all. From now on, we two brothers can just drink tea and play chess. How great!"
