Zhao Xiaoxing blushed and explained in a low voice: "The eldest brother said that today is my mother-in-law's birthday...... I didn't know that before. Thankfully, you reminded me. ”

"Birthdays happen every year." Chen Xingling lowered his voice: "It's not a happy event." Today the embroidery factory opens, you have a baby - these are the great joys. ”

Zhao Xiaoxing hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Sister-in-law, you go catch fish and kill fish, and I will cut chicken and duck." ”

"Okay." Chen Xingling said: "Prepare the ginger and shallots together, and you can use the roasted fish in a while." ”

At this time, Gu Qi and Gu Yi came back, each with two oiled paper bags in their hands, obviously to add vegetables.

Gu Qi saw that his daughter-in-law was busy killing fish, so he hurriedly stuffed things to his younger brother and quickly stepped forward to help.

Chen Xingling asked curiously, "What else did you buy?" Didn't you say good meat for me to buy? I've already bought them all. ”

"It's not meat." Gu Qi explained: "According to the rules of our hometown, the elderly in the family should give neighbors sweet cakes on their birthdays. My mother invited Aunt Cai to come over to celebrate her birthday together, and it stands to reason that she should give her some sweet cakes to eat. ”

"I see." Chen Xingling didn't care that her mother-in-law invited her old girlfriend to come to the door for her birthday, and whispered: "There are more people." We live here in Chongqing, and there will definitely not be many times to go to the capital in the future. Aunt Cai happened to come here to accompany her daughter, and it happened to be her mother-in-law's birthday, so she just happened to be able to join in the fun-it's good. ”

Although she doesn't like her mother-in-law, she doesn't have to label her as "against" for any of her actions.

Young people need friends, and so do the elderly. If there is an old sister who is close to the neighborhood, the mother-in-law will not be too lonely.

I was most afraid that when she was lonely, she went to play mahjong again, and then she was fooled into gambling money. Nine out of ten bets are lost, and her brain can win money? Most of the time it's a losing point again! What other benefits!

Gu Qi was quite moved when he heard her say this.

After all, this is the "three gardens" of their family of three, but the younger brother and the younger couple come to eat from time to time, and the younger sister also comes here to eat in the morning and evening, and now the old mother also comes almost every day.

Today, the old mother not only came by herself, but even Qin Tiantian's mother brought it over, blowing around with a tone of "I am the hostess", and even he almost couldn't listen to it!

Qin Tiantian once bullied her daughter-in-law like that, but she could welcome Aunt Cai for the sake of her mother's birthday. Fortunately, the daughter-in-law knows the general situation, otherwise the scene may be embarrassing, and he doesn't know how to deal with it.

After all, today is the birthday of the old mother, and he, as the eldest son, still can't have a black face with her.

Chen Xingling skillfully washed the fish and brought it into the kitchen to braise it.

Gu Qi cleaned up the mess in the back.

Xiaohuzi and Gu Xuan hid in the study to read books and do questions, until a table of sumptuous food was ready, and Gu Yi called their aunt and nephew out to eat.

"Hello Grandma Cai!" Xiaohuzi saw Cai Haiyan and immediately took the initiative to say hello.

Cai Haiyan glared in surprise, and then praised: "Yo! The tiger has grown a lot taller! Five years old, right? ”

"A little over four." Li Ying proudly explained: "His parents are tall, and he is also tall." Some of the six or seven years old in other people's families are not as tall as our tigers! ”

Gu Qi beckoned the guests to take their seats, and then everyone sat down one by one.

Cai Haiyan looked at the dazzling array of seafood and chickens and ducks, swallowed her saliva secretly, and couldn't help but sneak a glance at the old sister beside her.

In the final analysis, Li Ying is blessed.

She only gave birth to one son and one daughter, while Li Ying gave birth to four before and after. Back then, she always laughed at Li Ying for being so tired of herself, and always secretly laughed at Gu Xuan for being dumb, which was not at all as sweet as her sharp teeth.

Tian Tian couldn't get into college the year before last, and said that she didn't want to study, so she didn't force it, she felt that her daughter's appearance was so good, and it was more important to find a good family while she was young.

Her son is away all the year round, and she always feels that relying on her daughter is more reliable than her son, so she loves and pampers her daughter in every way, and she doesn't care much about her son outside.

The daughter really lived up to her expectations and married a rich family as a young grandmother. She and her wife were so happy that they couldn't sleep for a few days and nights, although their daughter could only get married smoothly when she was pregnant with a child, but as long as she could marry a rich family, a little loss of reputation was nothing.

I thought that my daughter was living a human life here, but who knew that this trip was not as good as she imagined.

Although the Guo family is said to be a rich and noble family, Director Guo and his wife are usually frugal, and there is occasional meat on the table, but not much.

Later, Mrs. Guo was sick in bed and could only eat light food, and her in-laws and son-in-law ate two of the three meals a day in the factory canteen, and the food at home was bought by relatives who took care of Mrs. Guo.

I don't know if it's not a lot of money, but the relatives are reluctant to buy meat, and occasionally don't see a little meat for a few days.

It's just that her daughter has been running outside all day since she was confined, otherwise she really wants her daughter to go to the market to buy some delicious food, and she is very tired with the child, and it is really uncomfortable to eat clear soup and little water every day.

Looking at the big fish and meat on the table, she secretly soured.

Unexpectedly, the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law of the old sister have lived such a good life by relying on their income!

Not only that, but even Gu Xuan was raised white and tender, which was completely different from his previous thin appearance, and he looked more and more beautiful.

Since their family moved to Yucheng, the eldest daughter-in-law has changed her face, the two sons are working in a large unit in the shipyard, there is a suite and such a spacious garden, and the daughter is preparing for the college entrance examination.

In such a comparison, Tiantian's side seems to be more than a big difference!

Gu Qi's family earns a lot of money, lives well, and now follows his uncle to set up his own factory, and he is just around the corner. The key is that the husband and wife are in harmony and love each other very much.

Thinking of her daughter who had to quarrel with her uncle almost every night, Cai Haiyan sighed secretly, endured the sourness in her heart, and pulled a big smile to wish the old sister a happy birthday, live longer and enjoy the blessings of her children and grandchildren.

Li Ying couldn't smile and greeted warmly: "Eat, eat, eat!" You're welcome! The most important thing here in Chongqing is seafood, and our in-laws send a lot of them every three or five days, and we can't finish eating. Come on, come on, eat prawns and crabs! ”

“…… Good. Cai Haiyan nodded flatteredly.

Xiaohuzi stood up obediently, smiled and wished her grandmother "happiness is like the East China Sea, and longevity is better than Nanshan".

Li Ying laughed and proudly introduced: "Yanzi, our little tiger is smarter than Archie!" Don't look at him, he's just over four years old, he's in sixth grade now! It was the principal who arranged for him to skip a grade because he was a good reader! Skipping a grade isn't something we ask for! He also said that he would try to get admitted to university this year, but I was so happy! ”

Cai Haiyan looked at the cute and smart little tiger and secretly envied.

His own son has been wandering outside for many years and has not come home to marry a wife, and he can't even get a daughter-in-law, so how can he inherit the lineage for the old Qin family!

This time her daughter gave birth to a little girl, and she could see that her son-in-law and mother-in-law were very disappointed, especially her uncle's face was very dark, and she even muttered that Tiantian lied to him as a male baby.
