Chapter 70, in-laws
It wasn't until Deng Jianwu took Mei Lan and his party into Qingyuan Community that Mei Lan knew that the house he rented was in Qingyuan Community, the rent had been paid, and the house had been cleaned up.
Fortunately, the house rented by Deng Jianwu is several buildings away from Cai Ganlin's, and it is close to the inside, and Cai Ganlin is obviously not a master who is willing to wander around outside, so Mei Lan had to comfort herself that the probability of encountering it is not great.
The house is two bedrooms and two living rooms, the area is not large, but four people are enough, the most rare is on the first floor, it is very convenient for three old people to come out and go in, and they don't have to take the elevator.
After settling down, Deng Jianwu and Hu Hu took the three old men out to familiarize themselves with the environment, Wang Sisi cooked at home, and Mei Lan sat on the sofa to debug the new computer, which was bought by Mei Lanto Deng Jianwu in advance, because she had urgent needs.
was busy when Mei Baoping's phone called.
"Lan Lan, have you arrived in Beijing?"
"Hmm."
"Is it still smooth all the way?"
"Hmm."
"That, that, Lan Lan, your hands are not good yet, you still have to quit eating, don't live in school yet, make do with your brother-in-law's house for a few days, and then go back to school to live when your hands are better, and your mother, don't worry, your mother-in-law won't bully her anymore."
"Hmm."
After three simple responses, Mei Baoping had no choice but to give the phone to Deng Hongying.
Not long after putting down the phone, Meizhu's text message came.
said that Mei Baoping had a quarrel with Wang Ximei, "Dad said that if my mother-in-law is so willful in the future, I won't care about her." ”
Mei Lan did not reply to the text message.
She also guessed that Wang Ximei probably saw that she had not returned home since the Chinese New Year's Eve, but returned directly to Beijing, and said that Mei Ju's affairs would not matter in the future, and her heart was a little bottomless, and it was estimated that she jumped at home and scolded Mei Lan.
And Mei Baoping obviously because this restaurant can't be opened, he is somewhat regretful and annoyed in his heart, seeing that Wang Ximei is still so stubborn, she must have said a few words to her, no matter how impossible she is, Mei Baoping is still very filial to his wife Mei Lan.
These have nothing to do with Mei Lan, and she doesn't plan to go back to the Mei family in the future, and Wang Ximei has become a thing of the past.
The next day was Sunday, which happened to be the Lantern Festival, Deng Jianwu came early in the morning to pick up the three old people and Mei Lan to go to his house for the festival, after all, the in-laws on both sides had not met yet.
The first time they met, the meeting gift must be indispensable, Liu Qiaozhen turned out a box of green tea brought from his hometown, which was given to Deng Jianwen by others, and they didn't bring anything else to Meilan, such as dried bamboo shoots, duck and bamboo sun, etc., first, the luggage can't be too much, and second, these things will be prepared for him every time Deng Jianwu comes back from his hometown, and there is nothing new.
The three elders thought that this gift was too shabby, so Deng Jianwu dragged everyone to buy a fruit basket, in addition, knowing that Wang Limin likes to drink, Liu Qiaozhen forced Deng Jianwu to buy two bottles of liquor, Deng Jianwu had to go to the supermarket and bring out two bottles of Luzhou Laojiao.
For these things, Liu Qiaozhen is still too simple, but fortunately, Deng Jianwu said that it would be too late if he didn't leave, so he gave up.
It was already eleven o'clock when Mei Lan and the others arrived at Deng Jianwu's house, Wang Limin and Yang Hongmei were dressed up and waiting at home, especially Yang Hongmei, wearing a rose-red cashmere sweater and a black skirt, and a long pearl necklace with particles as big as a small thumb nail was exposed on the outside of the cashmere sweater, wearing the jade bracelet she bought a year ago on her wrist, her face was covered with grease and powder, and she was sprayed with perfume.
Mei Lan glanced at her, the indoor temperature in Beijing is so high, isn't it too hot for her to dress like this?
Also, isn't she going to cook? Where does this look like you're going to cook?
"Come on, come on, come in, this is the grandmother of the in-laws, the old man is over eighty years old, and he is really healthy, this is the eldest brother and sister-in-law of the in-laws, come in and sit down, I wanted to go and see you first last night, but Xiao Wu said that you just got off the plane, so we didn't bother." Yang Hongmei stepped forward to greet everyone.
Yang Hongmei's Northeast Mandarin, none of the three old men understood, but Liu Qiaozhen understood that these words must be greetings, and it was right to respond with a smile.
"You are her grandmother, tsk, you are really young, you have worked hard all these years, you have a home and can't go back, you are busy taking care of the children here every day, I have to say thank you for my son." Liu Qiaozhen sneezed several times before she finished speaking.
Smoked by the smell of each other's perfumes.
Yang Hongmei saw that Liu Qiaozhen was busy and took a few steps back and looked at Deng Jianwu.
Neither of these two people understood each other's words, so Deng Jianwu had to stand aside and translate.
"Grandma, my grandmother praised you and said that you look so young." Mei Lan added on the side.
Sure enough, Yang Hongmei smiled like a flower when she heard it.
Although this idiom has been somewhat poisoned, Mei Lan can't find a suitable one for a while.
"Oh, Lan Lan, your hands aren't good yet?" Yang Hongmei quickly turned her eyes to Mei Lan on the side.
"The doctor said that he would have to put a cast for six weeks, and he didn't dare to remove it yet." When Mei Lan heard the other party's tone, she obviously knew about Mei Lan's injury.
"Oh mom, this wrist fracture is not a trivial matter, you have to go to the hospital to take a look, your pimple is a small place in the countryside, don't make the wrong stitches."
"Big brother, come, come, sit, smoke?" Over there, Wang Limin saw that Yang Hongmei couldn't speak, so he hurriedly greeted Deng Wenxiang.
Deng Wenxiang waved his hand and said the simple two words "no", no matter how long Mandarin is, he can't speak it well.
"Isn't it time to change your slippers?" Liu Qiaozhen asked Deng Jianwu.
She knew that people in the city had this habit of entering the door, and she was the same in Deng Jianwen, and she was also like this in the rented house last night.
"Don't use it?" Deng Jianwu said.
"Uncle, let's change it, you have to let your grandmother and them see your house, and besides, your house is too hot, and grandma and they are wearing cotton shoes, which is not comfortable." Melan said.
Deng Jianwu had to bend down to open the shoe cabinet when he heard this, because there were four pairs of summer plastic sandals outside, Deng Jianwu directly turned out four pairs of new cotton slippers from the shoe cabinet, but Yang Hongmei was unwilling, and said: "This is the old one, don't harm the new one this time." ”
Mei Lan was not happy when she heard this, and Deng Jianwu's face also changed.
Anyway, there are elders here, and they are guests when they enter the door, so how can wearing a new pair of slippers be a scourge?
Who is this home?
"That, that, that, I mean it's time to go to the hotel, you don't have to take off your shoes so much." Yang Hongmei also realized that what she said was wrong.
Wang Sisi listened to it on the side, and hurriedly pulled her mother and said, "Go make a few cups of tea." ”
Wang Sisi knew that the rule in the countryside on her husband's side was to make tea when she entered the door, so she hurriedly told her mother to save herself from making trouble here.
"No need, little aunt, didn't you say you'd go to the hotel in a while? We won't harm your tea. Merlin replied with a smile.
Wang Sisi's face was a little too good-looking when she heard this, but she couldn't help it, after all, it was her mother who was rude first.
"Lan Lan, you take your grandmother to wash her hands and take a look at this house." Wang Sisi took the initiative to change the topic.
Mei Lan didn't embarrass her, after all, when her hands and feet were inconvenient, Wang Sisi had served her for two days, so she couldn't go too far.
Mei Lan changed the shoes of the two old men, then led them into the bathroom to wash their hands, and then looked at the two bedrooms, not to mention, Wang Sisi obviously did his homework in advance, and the room was very tidy, much better than the mess that Mei Lan saw when she first came.
The master bedroom is naturally Deng Jianwu's family of three, and there are wedding photos of the couple hanging on the wall. The second bedroom is Wang Limin's two, the three old people glanced at the door, and they didn't go in, as for the small study, in addition to a bed is a desk, at a glance, there is no need to enter the house.
"This house is much smaller than Dawen's." Liu Qiaozhen muttered.
With such a crowded house, what will I do when this granddaughter grows up in the future?
"Grandma, this is not bad, my uncle also has a house and a car, and it is really not easy to buy a suite in Beijing now, you don't look at the small house of my uncle, but you can buy at least six or seven houses like my uncle." Melan said.
"Huh?" The three old men were surprised at the same time.
"How's that okay?" Zhou Guizhi muttered.
She saw that this small study was lived by Wang Sisi's younger brother, such a small house, Deng Jianwu's second child was born and there was no place to live, no wonder this grandson always said that there was no condition to have a second child.
"Grandma, Mom, come on, the tea is ready." Wang Sisi personally found a few glasses, made a few cups of tea, and put them on the dining table.
Wang Limin and Yang Hongmei hurriedly sat down together, but the in-laws couldn't communicate with each other, and the language barrier was a problem, in addition, the three elders of the Deng family were pure rural people, and they didn't have any common language with Wang Limin and Yang Hongmei.
Wang Limin has done a little business, and now he is obsessed with stock speculation, but Deng Wenxiang doesn't even understand what stocks are, he can't do anything other than farming?
Yang Hongmei has always paid attention to dressing up, and she can't communicate with Liu Qiaozhen, so Meilan has become the center of the topic.
Wang Limin pulled Mei Lan to ask Mei Lan what stocks she had in her hand, and Yang Hongmei pulled Mei Lan to ask if she would go shopping after eating for a while, because today is the Lantern Festival, and many large shopping malls have discount activities.
Speaking of this, Yang Hongmei specially revealed the jade bracelet on her wrist, saying that a few good sisters in the yard had seen it, and they all said that the water head was good, and it was perfect to buy these things when they were on sale.
Mei Lan smiled, she stretched out Zhou Guizhi's hand, and also revealed the jade bracelet on the old man's hand, and asked, "Grandma, do you like this jade?" Do you want to give you another good jade pendant? Or will I buy you another gold bracelet and wear it instead? By the way, you should also go shopping for some clothes. ”
Who wouldn't show off her wealth, her current strength is much stronger than Yang Hongmei. R1152
