Su Lin smiled and said: "Sister, what are you talking about?
You are so capable, I have to learn from you.
Excuse me, eldest sister, how should I call you?"
Su Lin thought, she had to get to know each other. They would definitely meet each other frequently during the Chinese New Year these days, so she had to ask for a title.
"You can just call me Seventh Sister. My mother gave birth to seven sisters. I am the seventh oldest and my name is Qimei. You can just call me Seventh Sister."
"Seventh sister is so lucky. It feels good to have so many sisters who care about her."
After Su Lin finished speaking, Qimei's eyes flashed with a trace of disappointment.
"Oh, there are so many sisters in name, but in reality there are not. Four of them starved to death, and now there are only three."
After Qimei finished speaking, she realized that she had said a bit too much, so she sat up straight, adjusted her mentality, and then said, "It's been many years, so it's okay not to mention it."
After Qimei finished speaking, she let go of Su Lin's hand.
Su Lin picked up the tea and handed it to Qimei.
The man sitting next to him looks to be in his early twenties, wearing a red handmade cotton jacket and a pair of handmade cotton shoes. From this look, he can tell that he is newly married.
Su Lin handed her the water cup and pushed the melon seed plate in front of the girl.
"May I ask what your name is?"
The little girl looked delicate and shy. She lowered her head and said in a low voice: "My name is Ding Xiang, and I just arrived here not long ago."
"Sister Dingxiang, you are so pretty, and you seem to have a good temper."
Su Lin smiled and thought that Ding Xiang should be about the same age as herself. She came early, so she might as well call her sister. After all, if she has a sweeter mouth and is more well-behaved, she will not suffer in the future.
"Sister Xiaolin has such a sweet mouth, she is pretty, and she has a cute little mouth. Comrade Han is so lucky to be able to work with you."
The one who spoke was the one holding the child. She was also dressed very simply, but this way she looked a little older than her peers.
Before Su Lin opened his mouth, the person holding the child in his arms said with a smile: "My name is Erwa, and the girl in my arms is my second girl. You can call her Maomao."
"Mao Mao is so good, can I have some candy?"
Su Lin took a piece of chocolate and shook it in front of Maomao, and Maomao shyly got into Erwa's arms.
"This child will eat everything and is not picky."
Erwa is a loud-voiced person. Su Lin smiled, took a piece of chocolate, peeled it open and handed it to Maomao.
"Sister, I heard from Comrade Han that you are a college student, right?"
Qimei asked curiously and enviously.
The family home is so big that I have never heard of anyone getting engaged or getting married to a college student.
It is indeed not easy for Comrade Han to reach where he is today at such a young age, but generally educated people simply look down on these uneducated gangsters, but the Su Lin in front of her seems different. She doesn’t know how to wear it at all.
Look at this group of women who know nothing through colored glasses.
"Seventh sister, I am indeed still a student now and will graduate in a year and a half."
Su Lin looked embarrassed. He thought they would say, "What is wrong with being a good student? Just imitate other people's behavior."
Fortunately, Han Haibin told everyone that he was her fiancée.
"You and Comrade Han really match each other. They are both good-looking. In the words of you literati, they are... typical of a talented man and a beautiful woman."
Qimei grinned, and Su Lin also smiled softly.
A few people sat and chatted for a while. When everyone saw that it was time for dinner, they left together.
Before going out, he specifically told Su Lin to come to their house to play when he had time.
After Su Lin said goodbye, she closed the door and went to the kitchen to study the dark piece of bacon. She smelled it close and smelled smoke. She thought to herself, what kind of thing is this? It's so black. Can it be eaten?
Su Lin sat in the room and read for a while. Seeing that the sky was getting darker and darker, his stomach growled unsatisfactorily. The sound of heavy footsteps going up and down the stairs came from the corridor. Su Lin put his ear against the door and thought to himself.
Should Han Haibin be back soon?
She touched her belly with a sad look on her face.
If she had known earlier, she should have bought herself some snacks.
Her eyes moved to the melon seeds on the table, and she ran over and sat on the sofa to eat melon seeds to satisfy her hunger.
When the door opened from the outside, Han Haibin was still talking to the people outside.
"If there's anything good to see, go see your own wife. There's no wine at home, so don't come at night."
After Han Haibin finished speaking, he closed the door.
Su Lin hurriedly put the melon seed peels he had on hand carefully into the trash can, and wiped the scraps of melon seed peels left on the table.
"Who are you talking to?"
Su Lin asked curiously.
"A comrade upstairs said that he would bring a group of comrades over to see you in the evening.
Are you hungry?"
Han Haibin said, placing three or four lunch boxes on the table, taking chopsticks and bowls.
Originally, he wanted to buy some groceries, and also wanted to experience what it would be like to have a woman waiting for him at home after getting home from get off work.
But thinking about how Su Lin was busy in the kitchen for a long time last time and couldn't even cook a bowl of noodles, Han Haibin gave up this inappropriate idea.
Su Lin opened the lunch box, which contained cabbage stewed with vermicelli, steamed pumpkin, braised pork, a portion of shredded potatoes, and a full lunch box of rice.
Su Lin's eyes lit up, the food was very good.
"Actually, I've been hungry for a long time. I was thinking about boiling some eggs."
Su Lin said that when Han Haibin went to the kitchen to get a bowl, he noticed the eggs and cabbage on the chopping board, and knew that they must be the ingredients brought by the enthusiastic sisters-in-law upstairs.
"If I come back late tomorrow, you can boil some eggs and eat them."
Han Haibin was a little worried in his heart. When someone else's daughter-in-law came, they had to cook a big table of food and invite those with whom they had connections to come and sit in the house. The reason why he didn't say hello to everyone was because Su Lin didn't know how to do anything.
If he did it, he wouldn't have time.
Thinking of this, Han Haibin was a little worried. If someone took something, what would be better for him to send back?
Su Lin picked up the chopsticks and saw Han Haibin thinking about something. He picked up a piece of pork and put it on top of Han Haibin's rice.
"What are you thinking about?
Why do I feel that you are uneasy today?
Is it... is it because of my arrival that someone has made things difficult for you?"
Su Lin lowered his head as he spoke, feeling extremely guilty.
"No, don't think about it. It's just not easy for you to come here. I'm thinking about inviting a few people to my house sometime."
Han Haibin said it very tactfully. As soon as he said this, Su Lin couldn't laugh or cry.
"I...I can't cook."
She gritted her teeth uneasily, with an honest look on her face.
Han Haibin smiled for some reason.
"I'm curious, why don't you know how to cook?
Is it because your family’s conditions are so good that you haven’t had anything to do with it since you were a child?”
Han Haibin asked jokingly.
With the help of his old man, he already knew everything about Su Lin.
