The mother and daughter were walking along the road and chatting. The little stinky baby turned his little head and looked around, and made oh-ah sounds from time to time.
"Sister-in-law Qiunan?"
An intrusive cry made both mother and daughter stop and look over.
"Explanation?"
Only then did Ding Qiunan notice that they had unknowingly walked to the road opposite the family courtyard. Next to it was the hot pot restaurant owned by Yan Jiecheng's family. There was a tricycle parked at the door with a lot of vegetables piled on it.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, sister-in-law. Why did you walk so far?"
"My parents' house is right across the street from the Grain Bureau Family Courtyard. I'm staying here during my two-day vacation. You just came back from shopping for groceries."
"Yes, sister-in-law, you and auntie come into the store and sit down."
"I'm not going to sit down anymore. Just go about your business."
Yan Jiecheng seemed to have noticed the child in Ding Qiunan's arms at this moment. He asked in surprise: "Sister-in-law, this is..."
"This is Wenxuan's child."
"You are now a grandma?"
"Isn't Wenxuan's child my grandson?"
"This is too fast. Brother Chu is already a grandfather."
There was chatting outside the store, and a middle-aged woman was sitting at the counter inside the store. She didn't care about settling accounts and kept looking outside.
"Sister, who is that chatting with my brother-in-law?"
The woman sitting at the counter turned to look at her sister who had just walked out of the kitchen, shook her head and said, "She looks familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen her before."
The younger sister rolled her eyes, then took her elder sister's arm and said, "Sister, let's go out and take a look."
"What are you going to see? I don't know you." The elder sister slapped away the hand holding her younger sister's arm.
In fact, she didn't want to go out and take a look, but looking at the beautiful appearance and exquisite dress of the woman outside, and looking at her yellow-faced appearance, and her clothes that had been washed and turned white, she didn't want to go there.
The younger sister glanced at her older sister with some confusion. She had made some money by opening a hotpot restaurant in the past two years. She, as her elder sister, looked after her brother-in-law very closely. When she saw him talking to the opposite sex, she would approach him and ask roundabout questions for a long time. Why did he do this today?
But what if we go?
When she looked at Ding Qiunan again, she realized why her sister acted like that.
Just at this time, the chat at the door was finished, and Yan Jiecheng walked in again holding a bag of vegetables.
"Brother-in-law, who was that who was talking to you just now?"
"I know your sister, Lily. What's wrong with you? You don't say hello when you see an acquaintance."
His words stunned both sisters.
Yu Li looked at her husband blankly. She couldn't remember where she met that woman.
Yan Jiecheng understood as soon as he saw his wife's reaction. He smiled and said, "It's been a long time since we last saw you. You forgot, right? That's Brother Chu's lover."
"Ah? You said that is Ding...Ding...Ding Qiunan?"
"Yes, although you haven't seen her for a long time, I don't think she has changed much."
"I just said she looks familiar. I've only seen her in military uniform. Today she was wearing casual clothes, and I really didn't recognize her." Yu Li shook her head and said.
"She really hasn't changed at all in all these years, she still looks so young!"
"You don't have to worry about food, clothing or anything to worry about every day. If you don't have any worries, you will definitely look younger!"
Yan Jiecheng said with emotion, then walked towards the kitchen holding the bag of vegetables.
"Sister, what's going on? An old couple and a young couple?" Yu Li and her sister came over and asked gossiping.
"What are you talking about? This woman is about the same age as me, and her man is only three or four years older than your brother-in-law."
The younger sister looked at her elder sister in disbelief: "Sister, are you kidding? You said the woman at the door just now is as old as you?"
"Yes, their family and your brother-in-law used to live in the same courtyard, but they moved away before I got married. Later, she went to that courtyard several times, so I've seen her before, but I'm just not familiar with it.
By the way, the yard where your brother-in-law lives was bought by her family."
"Bought by her family? What does her husband do? Is he so rich?"
"You know Haitang from the military headquarters, right?"
"Of course I know."
"Well, my father-in-law mentioned before that her man, the Brother Chu that your brother-in-law mentioned, seems to be the dean or deputy dean of the main hospital now."
Yu Haitang's mouth could not be opened or closed at this moment.
"What a big official this must be!"
"I don't know." Yu Li shook her head and said, "I don't know how old the official is, but my father-in-law said that he must be older than your factory."
Bigger than the factory director?
The biggest official Yu Haitang has met in the past few decades is the director of their steel factory.
Her eyes started to light up when she heard this.
But then she thought about the woman she saw at the door just now, and the anger in her heart suddenly disappeared again.
Although she is quite pretty, it depends on who she is compared with. If time goes back twenty years, she thinks she is no worse than that woman just now, but now...
Yu Li had no idea what kind of character her sister was. Seeing the rich expression on her face, she knew what she was planning.
"Ahem... Haitang, you should accept your worries and live a down-to-earth life with Yuanhang. Although Yuanhang is a bit dull, he is sincerely good to you. Don't think about the things you have and don't have every day."
"Sister, where can I have~"
Being pointed out by her sister to her face, Yu Haitang was still a little embarrassed and quickly defended herself.
"Do you know it in your heart? I know that you have been unhappy since you married Yuanhang, but now our life is pretty good. Why does this hot pot restaurant give you 100% every month?
Yuan is not enough for you to spend."
"Sister, look at what you said, money is something you don't bring with you in life or death. It's enough to use it, but rights are different.
That wimp at home can't teach him no matter how hard he is taught. His father has left such good resources. Even if I ask him to move around more with the elders, he is not willing to stay in his technical department every day. He is forty.
He is still a junior section member, and he has not even become the deputy section chief. I am really tired of it. I feel annoyed just by looking at him."
Yu Haitang gets angry whenever he mentions his man.
She was also blind back then, so why did she choose this product after so many choices?
At first, she thought that her father-in-law was a leader in the ministry, and she thought that she could give them a hand no matter what, but she never expected that her father-in-law would pass away due to illness not long after she got married.
It is said that people go away and the tea is cold. She was worried about this, so she kept urging her man to hang out with his old friends from his former father-in-law. But that guy was a nerd and refused to do anything, which made her very angry.
