"Soo He!" Old Chen and I went out to the streets to buy some things. Every day, my nanny would return to her parents' home to bring some things over. Did you just come from my house? Peran is at home, and you won't let her entertain you. "
When Mrs Chen told her father to stop, she and Soo He exchanged a few words. Her father did as he was told and nodded his head in greeting to her, then stood to the side and waited.
"Yes!" "I just came to your house for a while and delivered the tea leaves you wanted. I even rubbed two steamed buns on them. There's really nothing to say about my cooking skills. I can't find much in this courtyard." Xiuhe's aunt praised Lin Peran, and when she turned around and saw the big bag of Chen's bicycle, she couldn't help but exclaim, "Yo! "There are quite a few of these things. As in-laws, you guys are truly willing to part with them."
"The nation-building wife is still young and insensible. We still have to worry about that! She didn't slow you down, did she? " Mother Chen liked to hear these words.
"Nothing. "If you want me to say that my nanny in charge of nation-building is truly not bad, my hands are very nimble, and it's also good to treat people like their friends …"
Xiuhe's sister-in-law looked at all the things hanging on Chen's father's bicycle, and obviously took a great deal of importance to Rinperan, so she knew better than to show her stage fright in the Chen family, and tell them about the changes in Rinperan and his family's yard, and finally about the Chen family's tea.
It was almost like flowers were falling from the sky.
"Look at what you're saying, she's not as good as you say!"
"It's really good. I have something to say, and you know it. Sister-in-law, this nation-building wife knows tea, you'll be lucky in the future. "The coarse tea in my mother's house is incomparable to yours."
"What are you talking about?" Aren't they all made out of the same stuff? "
Mother Chen was slightly displeased. She was afraid that Lin Pei Lan would show off her skills in front of her family and not let others off.
He was unhappy in his heart, but he still smiled indifferently on the surface.
"How can that be the same!?" Completely different. "The tea of the nation-building wife is really good. My relatives gave it to her. This is the difference between a cup of tea with a fresh flower and a dry dish."
"Not as good as you say." Mrs. Chen took out the money from her pocket. "How much? I'll give it to you. "
"No need! He had already given the four pieces of money to his wife. "Today, Sunday, my family is still waiting for me to cook dinner, so I'm leaving!" Xiuhe's wife saw that her mother's expression didn't change, so she quickly took her leave.
"Thank you for taking a trip."
"There's no need to be polite!" Chief Chen, sister-in-law, come back quickly! The sun is still shining! "
After watching Xiuhe's wife leave, the smile on her face faded.
"To establish a country is unwise. After marrying a wife like her, everything still needs to be in the limelight …" Mother Chen said in distress.
"It's not like I'm saying anything bad about my daughter-in-law. Everyone is praising me. "How can you tell that your daughter-in-law is showing off?" Chen's father said seriously, "Comrade Little Su, please don't look at her with such a colourful look."
"Humph!" Even you. You don't know that, but you praise the founding of a loving daughter-in-law, build a sunroom, and say that Ringpelin knows how to drink tea. When people like them speak, there's a hidden meaning behind their words. "
Chen's mother was not in a position to say that Lin Peran was not, so she had to maintain her image.
"Comrade Little Su, you're thinking too much." Father Chen said unconcernedly, "Let's go!" When she went back, she would have a warm meal. How cozy it would be! "What's the point of thinking so much?"
This point was understandable. Ringpelin's culinary skills were nothing to be said about. Even she liked to eat, so it was not her father's fault. Cooking from the kitchen was Mrs. Chen's weakness. She had no way to refute it, so her expression softened a bit.
"I'm not trying to make things difficult for her. We have only such a son. If a wife marries into the family and can't bring him out, that would harm our son. I was thinking that she could change the bad habits she brought with her from the countryside and ask for nothing else. "
"Habits aren't formed in a day or two. Don't ask for such strict rules."
Chen's father knew that his mother wanted to marry her son without saying a word. Even if what her mother said was a bit inappropriate, he couldn't continue to speak up for her at this time.
His son and daughter-in-law were both juniors, and his wife was the one accompanying him for the rest of his life. This was what his father valued the most, and no matter what, he had to protect his wife.
"This mother-in-law of mine has a lot of sense. She has never been picky about the family matters before. What do you want me to do? "
"That's right." Our comrade Xiaosu is a female representative of the new era. Not the feudal mother-in-law thing. This is worth learning from on the streets! "
Chen's father didn't get on the bicycle anymore, he pushed Chen and his mother along side by side.
Normally, they didn't praise others seriously, but if it was their own wives, that would be different. They would do everything in their power to praise them, but good words did not require money.
His praise made his mother's face turn hot. She felt a lot better, and she let go of the pimples that the two of them went to buy gifts for Lin Pelan's family.
"You only know how to coax me."
"I've always been a man of my word, and you have to admit it. Never exaggerate. "
"Hee hee!" These words are very pleasing to the ears. "
The couple chatted and laughed as they reached home in a few steps. The atmosphere was harmonious.
The various clothes of the sunroom were fluttering in the wind in the courtyard. The abandoned flower beds had already been tidied up, and the orange soil had a withered green hue. It was not lively enough, but it was still stronger than the overgrown weeds from before.
He hadn't noticed it before, but after being praised by Xiuhe's wife, he came back to take a closer look. His mother took a closer look and realized that his family was truly different from before.
Pursing her lips, Chen's mother did not say anything. Together with her father, she took the gifts that they had brought back into the house.
As soon as he entered, he felt a wave of hot air, mixed with the faint sweet scent of wheat, rush towards him. In this room, Lin Pelan was stewing the steamed buns and the hot air was even hotter than in the yard.
"Mom and Dad are back!"
Ringpelin had just started cooking a pot of steamed buns and steamed the last of the buns in the hot air. Sweating profusely, he did not forget to pour tea for the two elders and bring it to the living room.
"I made a pot of tea. It's not too hot or cold right now. It's just right for me to drink."
"We will pour the tea. It's too hot in the kitchen, you should be careful of the heat stroke. Chen's father waved him off.
"Then I'll bring two steamed buns for you to try first. Dinner still needs a while."
"Alright."
Mother Chen had not said a word since the start. She was in a good mood when she saw Lin Peran wait on them so attentively. She took all the things she had bought and put them on the table before speaking up.
"These are all for your family. Bring them back tomorrow to see if they lack any gifts."
"This... It was too polite. It's been a long time since I've asked you guys to spend money. It's better if I go home tomorrow and buy some. " Ringpelin pinched the hem of his apron, feeling very uncomfortable.
