Chapter 820 Xie Yumei's Feelings
A few of them chatted in the kitchen for nearly half an hour before they started to heat up the food.
By the time they got everything ready, it was an hour before they entered the door.
Liu Jianjun went to the inner room and called out the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law who were chatting there, and prepared to eat.
Drinking is inevitable on the day of a big reunion.
The previous wine had been drunk long ago, and the twenty kilograms of ginseng wine that Liu Jingxue had left for Liu Jianjun were also long gone.
Fortunately, it is already January, and the newly brewed ginseng wine is ready for drinking.
What's more, Liu Jingxue specially kept some wine and didn't soak the ginseng.
The main thing is that you can’t drink too much ginseng wine, only a little at a time, and the elders feel that it’s not satisfying enough.
But bottled wine is too expensive, and requires wine tickets. It is not appropriate to ask Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao to do this every time.
Therefore, after Mr. Chen's family delivered the wine this time, Liu Jingxue discussed with everyone and decided to leave out 100 kilograms of ginseng.
This time, the three of them sent 400 kilograms of sorghum each time to make wine, and got nearly 700 kilograms of wine. It didn't matter if they kept some extra to drink.
By the end of the meal, the dishes had to be reheated twice and I don't know how much wine I drank.
Anyway, when Xiaohuzi fell asleep, the men were still drinking and chatting.
By the time the younger generation cleaned up the mess and prepared to go back to bed, it was almost 11 o'clock in the evening.
Mr. Zou, Mr. Wu, and Liu Weihua were all a little drunk and had already lay down in their clothes.
When Wang Xiulan escorted them out, she asked, "Why don't you come here for breakfast tomorrow?"
She was so busy talking to her daughter-in-law, eating and cleaning up today that she didn't even have time to kiss her eldest grandson.
Liu Jianjun refused, "Mom, my brother and sister-in-law have been on the train for several days, they must not have had enough rest.
We finally had a good night's sleep today, so let them sleep a little longer.
Besides, it’s so late now and I haven’t had a good sleep for a few hours, so how can I get up to eat breakfast?
We won’t come over for breakfast.”
Wang Xiulan thought about it and it made sense. It was such a cold day and there was nothing to do, so no one wanted to get up early.
"Then come over for lunch?" she asked again.
"That's not certain. Who knows what time it will be when you wake up? It might be afternoon already."
Wang Xiulan frowned, “We can’t not eat.
It’s okay for you to be hungry for a while, but little Tiger can’t be hungry.”
"Don't worry, Auntie, little Tiger won't starve.
It’s not that I can’t cook. If we wake up and it’s not mealtime, we will make ourselves some food.
You don't have to worry about Little Tiger, I still have cakes, malted milk, and milk powder, so he won't starve."
"Mom, don't worry. When I wake up, I will bring Little Tiger to you." Xie Yumei promised.
"Just don't prepare breakfast and lunch for us.
Otherwise, I wouldn’t be able to sleep well knowing you had prepared dinner.
I didn’t sleep well these days on the train, so I want to get enough sleep tomorrow.”
"Aunt, how about I bring Little Tiger to you tomorrow when he wakes up, so that he won't disturb your rest.
But I don’t know if Xiaohu is shy and willing to come with me.” Liu Jingxue comforted him.
When Liu Jianjun heard this, he quickly said, "Xiaoxue, this is easy to handle.
I am used to getting up early, and unlike my elder brother, I have not been on the train for several days, so I need to have a good rest.
Xiao Huzi is already familiar with me and doesn't reject me.
After I get up tomorrow, I will come to your place to pick up Xiaohu and bring him to his parents.
It also saves him from staying with you and disturbing your sister-in-law’s rest.”
When Xie Yumei heard this, she quickly said, "I think it's okay.
It's just right that mom and second brother, you can help me take care of little Tiger so that I can sleep peacefully."
Wang Xiulan was also satisfied, "Okay, let's do it."
After leaving the cowshed, the group went to Liu Jingxue's house.
After all, all the quilts unloaded from the ox cart were with her.
If the quilts were not taken back, the male comrades would not be able to sleep.
After taking the quilt, Liu Jianguo's clothes and toiletries, the four men left.
After taking off the clothes of the sleeping Xiaohu, she put him on the kang and covered him up. Xie Yumei quickly took off her thick clothes.
While taking off her clothes, she asked in confusion, "Xiaoxue, why do I feel that your room is much warmer than my parents'?"
Liu Jingxue thought to herself, can't it be warmer? My sun talisman is just a decoration.
But she said, "My house is different from my uncle's.
My house was built by a villager for his own use, but since there was no one left, it was taken over by the production team and rented to me.
Since I live here by myself, and it’s so cold here in the winter, I must be prepared for the cold.”
"As for my uncle's house, it used to be a cowshed for the production team, not for living, and it was not well protected from the cold.
Although it was remodeled later, the overall structure remained the same, so its thermal insulation is definitely not as good as mine.”
Liu Jingxue didn't want to use the sun talisman in the cowshed, but she was worried that if one day they forgot to heat the kang and the fire wall, but found that the temperature in the house did not drop, it would arouse suspicion.
It was impossible for her to watch them from outside the space 24 hours a day.
Xie Yumei thought about it for a moment and then accepted her explanation.
After all, the people living there were all sent down to the countryside, and they certainly didn't pay too much attention to keeping warm when renovating their houses.
She felt even more grateful to Liu Jingxue in her heart.
Although she just got off the train today, she has already deeply experienced the coldness here.
She also saw the people living in the cowshed just now. Her parents-in-law were still relatively young at this age.
If it weren't for Xiaoxue's help, how would they have survived such a cold winter.
She just talked a lot with her mother-in-law, and her mother-in-law expressed her gratitude to her sister-in-law in her words.
It has been mentioned many times that if it weren't for Xiaoxue, the four people in the bullpen might not have survived the year they first arrived.
Looking at the state of my parents-in-law and the other two people, they look so good.
Xie Yumei even felt that her parents-in-law looked younger than when they were in the army.
Xie Yumei recalled the dream she had when her grandmother passed away and they went back to attend the funeral.
In the dream, the three of them were sent down to the countryside with their parents-in-law. After only a few months, one winter night, they were buried under the weight of the house which collapsed under the snow.
Although he was frightened by the dream, Liu Jianguo insisted on coming with his parents-in-law to take care of them after learning that they might be sent down to the countryside.
If it weren't for the insistence of the sister-in-law, I'm afraid that their family of three, or the couple who entrusted little Tiger to their parents, would still be sent down together.
The sister-in-law from the next room not only took on their responsibilities and came to take care of her parents-in-law, but also took care of them as well.
Over the past two years, I have sent them things every once in a while. I don't know how much bacon and mountain products I have sent them, and even more precious ginseng and ginseng wine.
Even her mother's family benefited from it. Her father's dilapidated health was much better after being nursed back to health with ginseng wine.
Every time her parents wrote to her, they repeatedly reminded her to be good to the Liu family and her sister-in-law, saying that she had married into a good family.
Xie Yumei also felt the same way.
Especially when compared with those families in the staff compound where there was discord between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or between the aunt and the sister-in-law, she heard those overt and covert sour words every time Liu Jianguo took back the package.
