Chapter 420: we don't need such an apology.
Tonight, the whole family mobilized to make dumplings and a lot of stuffing. Besides what they ate tonight, each family could bring several bags home to eat slowly.
At night, the deer meat was enough to make two flavors, one was stewed into a nutritious tonic soup, the other was stir-fried with scallion and braised. The taste was not bad, and there was no strong smell of shantang. Men, women, old and young still liked to eat.
"Mom, I can't finish my dumplings." An' an had made too many dumplings, and the small basket of dumplings he had made himself had been delivered to him. After eating more than half of them, the rest could not be stuffed in.
"If you can't finish it, you won't eat it. Mom will help you finish it." Li Haitang put a few of them in his bowl and asked, "Do you have any other dishes?"
"No." He was already stuffed.
"Since you're done eating, let's go watch some cartoons."
"Okay." An' an slipped off the chair and went to the living room to watch tv alone.
The children did not eat much, and Duoduo and dawn were soon full. They did not need adults to greet them, and they all went to the living room to watch their favorite cartoons.
"Didi... Didi..."
Just as he put down his chopsticks, the phone in his pocket rang. Li Haitang took it out and saw it was an unfamiliar number. He answered, "Hello, who is it?"
"Hello, Li Haitang, this is Duan Jinglan." Duan Jinglan's hoarse voice came from the other side, but it was still arrogant and domineering.
Li Haitang's expression was cold, "What's the matter?"
"Come out and say something." The other party's attitude was very arrogant, much more violent than the last time he was in the swimming pool.
"No time." Li Haitang acted more bluntly and pressed the phone directly.
Chu Xiaoman happened to be sitting next to her. She was usually very polite and rarely hung up directly. Seeing that her face was a little cold, she asked, "Who called?"
"Duan Jinglan, she's so proud. She's like a high and mighty person. She told me to go out and talk to her."
Chu Xiaoman: ... "I've seen people who think they're right. I've never seen anyone who thinks they're right. It seems that she hasn't reflected on her mistakes at all. Ignore her. She's only here to apologize because the duan family forced her to. She's not sincere at all. We don't need such an apology."
"Well, ignore it."
The phone rang again as soon as the call ended. It was the same number. Li Haitang hung up and blacklisted it.
"You don't have to pay attention to this ungrateful bastard. Her life is not easy now. There are so many sisters-in-law and aunts in the duan family who are chasing her every day to scold and educate her. Even her mother and her are shameless. Her half-brothers hate her so much that their teeth itch. Their own family will take care of her." Chu Hongmei has been paying close attention to this matter these days, of course, she has not seldom told others about duan jinglan's dirty deeds in the courtyard, in short, the other party is now completely discredited.
"Such a woman is no different from a mad dog. I don't know when her nerves go wrong and jump out and bite you for no reason. It's better to solve it all at once." Jiang Chuqi was not familiar with Duan Jinglan and only learned about it from her mother today.
"The solution is to solve it, but you can't just apologize. Besides, look at her attitude right now. How can she sincerely apologize? She has no remorse at all. Why should we accept it? So, for the time being, let's just leave her alone. We will continue to put pressure on the duan family, and we will not stop the discussion on the internet. If we continue to make trouble with the people she has shamed for no reason before, we better force her to stay indoors."
Chu Hongmei would sit in front of his computer for an hour or two in the morning and afternoon for the past two days, looking at the news on the internet with his reading glasses, but paying close attention to it, at least more than Li Haitang, who was involved in the development of the incident.
Jiang Zicong, who was still eating dumplings at the table, teased her grandmother, "My grandmother has become an internet addict recently, and her computer has become proficient."
"She, now that she's snatching my computer from me, I have to get one for her alone, so I don't have to bother her with any variety shows or tv shows. I don't know what's so good about these programs. You can laugh for half a day when you stare at them. Sometimes you have to shout four or five times for a meal. You sit in front of the computer before you even swallow the food." Jiang Baichuan had already put down his chopsticks and was drinking tea. When he saw his grandson talking about this, he also reported it to his children.
Seeing that his children were laughing, Chu Hongmei immediately threw the pot to his niece, "This is what xiao man taught me to watch. The variety shows she introduced me to watch are all good. It's very funny. Take a look, smile and feel better."
"My grandmother is getting more and more arrogant." Jiang zicong said.
"It's not just me now. Many people in the courtyard are addicted to this computer. They used to like to read newspapers. Now, they all like to read the news on the computer. Sometimes I ask them to come out for tea or go shopping, but they all have excuses to stay at home and chase tv shows." Chu Hongmei couldn't understand how young people stayed on their computers all day long, but now that she came into contact with them herself, she finally understood.
"Mom, why don't I buy you a notebook?" Li Haitang asked.
His father-in-law's computer was bought by elder sister third Jiang Chuqi, and he was equipped with a desktop with a larger screen. He liked to watch the news, and he used it to teach himself how to process pictures at home and learn photography from videos on the internet. He usually uses a computer more, and since her mother-in-law likes watching variety shows and so on, she plans to buy her a notebook.
"The kind you bought for zitong the last time, thin, but twisted around?" Chu Hongmei doesn't know much about computers.
"That's right. It can be twisted at any time. It's not heavy. You can use it by plugging in the internet connection."
"But that's very expensive. Buy a laptop, and I guess you can buy at least two of your father's desktops." Chu Hongmei was a little reluctant.
Li Haitang smiled lightly, "It's not too expensive. It's cheaper to buy abroad. I'll have someone send one back later."
Chu Hongmei thought about it and saw that everyone was looking at her. He smiled and said, "Just buy a cheaper one. I'll watch tv shows and variety shows. I won't do anything else. I don't have to buy the best. I don't know how to use anything else, I don't know how to use my brain, and I don't know how to learn complicated things."
"Okay, I'll see what happens." Li Haitang nodded. Usually, everyone was busy with work, and they didn't have much time to spend with the old people, so they could only try their best to enrich their later years of life.
After dinner, a large family sat together and chatted until nearly eight o' clock. Because the children of each family had to go home to catch up on their homework, everyone dispersed at this point.
Back in Fenglinya county, the brothers and sisters threw their schoolbags on the sofa and rushed back to their room to get their new fall pajamas without their mother's orders. Then they ran into the bathroom to get some water for the bath.
Seeing that the children were getting more and more sensible and capable, Li Haitang was very pleased. He went back to his room and changed his clothes to give them a bath.
