Thinking about the exchange of gifts between neighbors, Xia Qingmai finally had to accept this pumpkin, thinking about what was suitable for it later and returning it.

Seeing Xia Qingmai accept the pumpkin, Sister-in-law Hu said with a smile: "This pumpkin is sweet and noodles, whether it is steamed or boiled, it is good." ”

"You take it back and eat it, and then come to your sister-in-law's house to cut it when you eat well."

In the face of Sister-in-law Hu's kindness, Xia Qingmai could only respond first.

But she knew in her heart that she was embarrassed to cut it again.

In these years, every family has a large population, and Sister-in-law Hu's family has three sons, two daughters and five children.

She can't do the cheeky thing of going to a neighbor's house to ask for food.

Yes, I heard Sun Fugui say that Sister-in-law Hu's soles are good, why don't she take the time to get some coarse cotton thread for her?

It just so happened that she also learned how to take the soles of her sister-in-law Hu, her needlework is good, but the soles are average.

The children grow up fast, and the shoes are small at three months, so she has to do a little more to prepare in her free time.

There are also Sun Fugui and himself, and he has to make cotton shoes in winter.

Xia Qingmai, who was thinking about things in her heart, thanked Sister-in-law Hu again and went home with her two children.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw two piles of things brought by Qin Shengli and a big burden given by Zhou Lu.

With so many things, I'm afraid they won't be able to fit in their cabinets.

Xia Qingmai originally wanted to take the opportunity to get something out of the Ruian Palace, but now it seems that this matter can wait.

As soon as these things were put away, there was a sound of talking outside the door, and as soon as Xia Qingmai raised his head, he happened to meet Sun Fugui who stepped into the courtyard.

Sun Fugui, who was just about to speak, looked at his daughter-in-law's expression that changed instantly after seeing him, and suddenly felt a little flustered.

Who upset his daughter-in-law on the morning he was away from home?

Sun Fugui, who didn't think he had a problem, strode up to Xia Qingmai's side, and was just about to speak when he heard the clucking of the hen.

"Where's the hen in the house?"

As soon as he finished muttering a sentence, Sun Fugui also found that his daughter-in-law's displeasure seemed to be directed at him.

After carefully confirming in his heart that he hadn't done anything that might upset his daughter-in-law, Sun Fugui came to Xia Qingmai's side and asked, "Didn't you say that you were going to find your classmate today?" Could it be that there are still others in the family? ”

Xia Qingmai wasn't really angry with Sun Fugui, she just made an angry and unhappy gesture.

So as soon as Sun Fugui's words fell at this time, she naturally answered: "I went to look for Lulu, and when I came back, there were people waiting for me at the door, do you want to guess who it is?" ”

Although Xia Qingmai's words were prompted, Sun Fugui couldn't guess the truth for a while.

He pondered in his heart for a moment, and then looked at Xia Qingmai and said seriously: "I can't guess who it is, but my daughter-in-law is unhappy at this time must be because of me." ”

"Tell me, what did I do badly, or did I make you unhappy?"

As he spoke, Sun Fugui glanced at the two children, and seeing that they didn't look at them, he quickly reached out and hugged his daughter-in-law's waist and kissed her cheek, "Daughter-in-law, you say it, I must listen carefully." ”

Seeing Sun Fugui's good attitude, Xia Qingmai also looked at him and said seriously: "Uncle Qin is here, Uncle Qin, Qin Shengli!" ”

If Sun Fugui was still a little confused when Xia Qingmai said 'Uncle Qin', then as soon as the words 'Qin Shengli' came out, Sun Fugui understood.

He didn't know how much the old leader and Qingmai had said, and after coughing embarrassedly, he looked at Xia Qingmai and said, "The old leader is here on a business trip?" Where is he? ”

"Oops, it's such a misfortune today, I didn't accompany you to see your classmates, and I didn't see the old leader."

Hearing Sun Fugui's words, Xia Qingmai immediately asked, "So, you already know who my second uncle is?" Or is the introduction of the second aunt just an excuse, and you know about me through Uncle Qin? ”

Because he didn't know how much the old leader and his daughter-in-law had said, Sun Fugui said after a quick measurement: "Hehe, in fact, before the introduction of the second aunt, I heard the old leader mention you, but at that time, I only knew that you were the niece of my old leader's old squad leader." ”

"I'm eight years older than you, if I hadn't gone to a state-run restaurant for dinner and met my second aunt to find my second uncle, how would I know that you could be my daughter-in-law?"

"Do you think about it? I didn't expect to marry an eighteen-year-old girl. ”

"Of course, before I went on a blind date with you, after I heard your name, I knew that you were the niece of my old leader and his old squad leader."

Sun Fugui's words are eight points true and two points false.

It's really a lot, only he and Yu Zesheng will take the initiative to mention the marriage in the state-run hotel, which is arranged by the old leader.

He calculated the time and acted in a play with Yu Zesheng, and sure enough, he quickly attracted the attention of his second aunt because of his superior conditions.

After the second aunt mentioned that he had a niece who wanted to find his mother-in-law's family, he also pretended not to know that this person was Xia Qingmai and talked to the second aunt.

Xia Qingmai pondered Sun Fugui's words carefully, and after thinking about them carefully, although she still felt suspicious, she really couldn't find a problem.

She looked directly into Sun Fugui's eyes and wanted to ask a few more questions, but suddenly dispelled this thought.

The queen mother said that husbands and wives need to be honest with each other, but they also need to have their own little secrets.

In the words of the Queen Mother, it is called 'keeping the mystery'.

Thinking of the queen mother's words, Xia Qingmai looked at Sun Fugui and said, "Remember what you said on your wedding day, you have to be worthy of me." ”

Sun Fugui was nervous when she was stared at by Xia Qingmai, for fear that she would ask about the two children.

Waiting to hear Xia Qingmai's words, he immediately patted his chest and promised: "Don't worry about this, I will definitely live up to you!" ”

After confirming that Sun Fugui had something to hide from him, but he shouldn't be sorry for himself, Xia Qingmai had no intention of continuing to ask.

Let's just let him keep a little secret of his own.

After thinking about this clearly, Xia Qingmai also said what Qin Shengli had brought.

Seeing that Shuyan led Shuyu to squat in the corner to watch the hens, she hurriedly walked over and touched their little heads and said, "We keep these two hens, and we will have eggs to eat every day in the future." ”

The two hens can't eat much, the old leaves of vegetables, the insects in the vegetable field at home, and some wheat bran are fed, and it is enough to think about it.

Hearing that the family was going to feed the chickens, Shuyan was so happy.

"Mom, I can catch bugs and feed the chickens, my sister taught me."

As soon as the Shuyu children heard their brother's words, they also hurriedly patted themselves to follow, "Shuyu, too!" ”

Listening to the innocent fairy tales of the two children, Xia Qingmai also nodded very seriously and said, "Okay, well, in the future, Shuyan and Shuyu will catch insects and feed chickens together." ”

After speaking, Xia Qingmai raised her hand and glanced at her watch, and when she saw that it was half past ten, she quickly looked at the two children and said, "Shuyan Shuyu, my mother will make you salted meat and vegetable rice to eat at noon today, okay?" ”

Shuyan and Shuyu children don't know what salted meat and vegetable rice is, but rice with meat must be delicious!

Looking at the eyes of the two children that lit up instantly, Xia Qingmai also laughed.

Sun Fugui on the other side looked at the third mother who was laughing, and he also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the afternoon, at the latest, in the evening, he must go to the old leader to ask how much he has talked to his daughter-in-law.

Just now, he almost didn't hold on.

Obviously, he has been interrogated and trained by the army many times, but in the face of his daughter-in-law, why is he weak-hearted?
