Wang Ying took a bite of the fish, picked up a chopstick and put it into Yang Lina's bowl. Father Li tasted a piece and nodded affirmatively.
The family sits together and enjoys themselves.
It was probably because the food tonight was really delicious. At the end of the meal, there were only a few pieces of lettuce left. Yang Lina was afraid that the leftovers would spoil, so she dipped them in the bottom of the bowl and smacked them in a few mouthfuls before finishing the meal.
Wang Ying helped Li Jingming clear the dishes, and Li Jingcheng helped carry the table.
In the kitchen, Wang Ying refused to let Yang Lina wash the dishes, so Yang Lina had no choice but to withdraw from the kitchen.
"I'm going to visit Zhangkai's house, will you come?"
Li Jingming thought to himself that he had been busy recently and many houses were being built. He had not shown up yet, so he wanted to go and have a look.
Yang Lina glanced at Sun Yuxiu, thinking that she would go there when Sun Yuxiu left.
As a neighbor, she leaves early and comes home late every day, so she should go and have a look.
"I'll go later, you go first!"
Sun Yuxiu knew her sister-in-law's temperament and what she meant. She smiled and said:
"Sister-in-law, you go quickly. I will take a rest and then go back with my mother. Anyway, I will pass by Xiaoli's house. I will say hello to you when I go back. Their house is beautifully renovated."
Yang Lina thought about it for a while. Yuxiu had a big belly and it was inconvenient to walk. She could just say hello when they left later.
The young couple came to Tian Li's yard and looked at the brand-new and bright house in the yard. Yang Lina suddenly sighed that the power of money is so great.
Tian Li was busy cleaning up the remaining soil and stone debris in the yard during the day. After a busy day, she was sitting at the table eating with a disgraced look. She was a little embarrassed to see Yang Lina.
"Tian Li, you two are like fighter jets. You built your new house in just over a month. It looks really nice."
Yang Lina sighed, gently stroking the wooden carved window with her fingertips.
Yang County belongs to the north. People here build houses in a courtyard layout, with the main house to the east, secondary houses to the north and south, and a small garden to the west for growing vegetables and other things.
The windows and doors of each house are made of wood. If the conditions are good, they will use mahogany, and if the conditions are normal, they will use pine.
Obviously, the pine wood used in Tian Li's home, despite this, does not affect its beauty and quality.
Yang Lina went into the house and took a look. The middle of the house was used to place furniture, and there were two bedrooms on the left and right sides.
After all, the new house looks brighter and brighter than the old one, and the quality of the entire yard has been improved a lot.
Tian Li followed Yang Lina with a face in her hands, accompanying Yang Lina.
"It's no wonder that we are so good as a couple. The people in the village helped us repair the house for several days."
"This house must cost a lot of money."
Yang Lina herself was about to jump with excitement. Tian Li finally got through it. With such a big new house, her mother-in-law would be so angry.
If her mother-in-law could safely take care of Tian Li's children, she would have the choice of a house on the north or south side of such a big yard.
"It cost three thousand. I have to thank your man for this. If your man hadn't valued the openness of my home, our young couple would have had four children to support. How would we have the money to build such a big house?"
"Look what you said, your man must have his own merits."
Yang Lina smiled, raised her hand to remove the splinters of wood from Tian Li's hair, and asked in a low voice with a curious look on her face: "You are making such a big move in the retreat house, didn't your mother-in-law come over to take a look?"
"She scolded me for three or four days in a row, including all the eighteen generations of my family. She called me a vixen, and her son's soul was taken away.
It's a good thing to repair the house. Anyway, we, the couple, don't rely on the old couple.
Kaifang couldn't stand listening, so he told her in front of the villagers that if she scolded me, I would cut off the mother-child relationship with her. The old lady stopped scolding her, but the next day his two sisters scolded her again at the door, and Kaifang was
Driven away.
My mother said that it is not easy to quarrel with others when building a house, otherwise the house will not be safe to live in. I can't bear the thought of this.
Why don't you adults, but after all, he is open to his parents, who are also the grandmothers of my four children. Now that they have moved out, there is no need to worry so much. As long as our family is happy, that is more important than anything else.
Besides, I’m also a mother of four children.”
What Tian Li said was extremely sincere. After hearing this, Yang Lina felt very happy for this silly woman.
Fortunately, her parents-in-law were unreliable, but the man she married was reliable. She only wanted to protect her little family.
After listening to what Tian Li said, Yang Lina also felt that aside from the previous domestic violence incident, Zhang Kaikai was actually a kind, righteous and responsible person.
Of course, she was also curious about what it was like to be a mother.
For some mothers, if their children live well, she will be well.
For some mothers, it doesn't matter to her whether their children are doing well or not, and they may even try to hold them back.
Granny Tian Li is the latter.
"Oh, my Tian Li has finally grown up and become sensible, a bit like a mother. I'm happy for you."
Yang Lina smiled carelessly. After a closer look, the house was almost tidied up. The ceiling was made of white cloth. It looked snow-white and clean. The floor in the house was made of bricks.
The kangs built in the two bedrooms lead directly to the backyard. At present, the only thing left in the yard is a mess.
"They are both women. You are not young anymore. You are nineteen years old. It's time to have a child."
Yang Lina sighed, how can it be so easy to give birth to a child? It's not just a matter of time.
On the other side, Zhang Kaikai was sitting at the dinner table, slurping noodles, looking at Yang Lina with a sly look, and quietly approached Li Jingming and said, "Why is your wife not pregnant yet? Are you going to survive?"
Zhang Kaikai looked like he didn't deserve a beating, so Li Jingming kicked Zhang Kaikai's calf and glared at his big iron bowl, gesturing for him to eat.
"You are so fast. Giving birth is like laying an egg. You are building a house so fast."
Li Jingming teased with a half-smile.
He felt that Zhang Kaikai was the winner in life in this village. He had four daughters, each of whom was cuter and prettier than the last. This newly built courtyard was the first in the village.
"I'm busy building a house this month, will my dividends be less?"
"No, but there is no salary."
Because of this question, Li Jingming glared at Zhang Kai with a look of disgust on his face, his mouth full of garlic smell.
"You are a boss after all. Soon you will be a household worth ten thousand yuan. Do you still care about the salary of several tens of yuan?"
Zhang Kai opened his teeth and smiled stupidly: "That's right, isn't it just for the money that I work so hard for? As long as there are dividends.
My yard will be busy for at most three or four days. After clearing the pile of soil in the yard, I will go to work in the factory. By then, I will have to pull thousands of bricks and pave the yard."
