Chapter 5 Back to Mother's Home

Mrs. Li probably ate too much at noon, and she had no appetite at night, so she asked the cook not to prepare dinner.

Li Yan and Jiang ate some in their room.

After dinner, Li Yan went to Mrs. Li's room to pay her respects.Mrs. Li was very happy to see her son coming.

"Mother, this is the hawthorn cake made by Yingying herself. It is good for stomach and digestion. She knows you are not feeling well, so she asked me to bring it to you." Li Yan handed the snack box in her hand to Granny Lin, and said with a smile.

Mrs. Li glanced at the dim sum box, the smile on her face faded a bit, she thought: If it weren't for your wife and money-losing goods to grab the pig's trotters from me, I wouldn't be able to eat it.

"Your mother-in-law is here today, do you know about this?" Mrs. Li asked, and took a piece of hawthorn cake to eat. She disliked it, but it didn't hinder her from eating it at all. Not to mention, this hawthorn cake was sour Sweet, really appetizing.

"Yingying told me that I also have something to tell my mother." Seeing that his mother was in a good mood, Li Yan immediately got to the point.

Mrs. Li raised her eyelids, curled her lips and said, "It's about your daughter-in-law going back to her mother's house."

"So mother, you already know that such a big incident happened at the mother-in-law's house. As the eldest sister, Yingying should go back."

"It's not me who said, how could your brother-in-law do such absurd things." Mrs. Li said in a disdainful tone, "I thought the Jiang family was a decent family, and I only agreed to your marriage at the beginning, but I didn't expect it to be so bad. !"

"Mom, the matter has not been clarified yet, so don't draw conclusions too early, I don't think my brother-in-law is that kind of person." Li Yan hurriedly defended his wife's family.

"Hmph, your mother-in-law has already said that he is an illegitimate child, so there is still something wrong. I just feel sorry for the Miss Zhou who is married to him. She has not passed the family yet, and she is going to be someone's stepmother." Fight the injustice for Miss Zhou's family.

Li Yan didn't know what to say, so he could only smile awkwardly.

"Okay, go as soon as you want, remember to come back early, always run to your mother's house, when will I see my grandson." Mrs. Li muttered dissatisfiedly, never leaving her grandson.

"Meier hasn't been back to her grandmother's house for a long time, I asked Yingying to take her with her." Li Yan hurriedly added conditions.

Mrs. Li didn't like to see Li Mei'er at first, she waved her hands and said, "Go, go, I'm upset at home, and if you leave, you can eat a few pieces of my old man's meat less."

Li Yan completed the task and left happily.

Mrs. Li was a little unhappy, and complained about her son with Mrs. Lin.

"When you marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother, you only have her daughter-in-law in your heart."

"Uncle and grandma have a good relationship. Ma'am, won't you be able to hug your grandson sooner?" Mrs. Lin explained from the side.

"The relationship between the two of them has always been very good, and I haven't seen my grandson. I'm so worried!" Mrs. Li slapped her thigh, becoming more and more depressed.

"A Lin, ask sister-in-law Qiu to serve me a bowl of egg noodles. Whenever I get angry, I feel hungry." Mrs. Li ordered to Mrs. Lin beside her.

Mrs. Lin looked at the hawthorn cake that had been eaten by Mrs. Li, smiled and said nothing, and went down to let the cook cook the noodles.

Li Meier looked forward to her father's triumphant return in the room.Seeing her father coming back with a smile on his face, he knew that grandma had agreed, and excitedly jumped on the bed a few times, urging Jiang to help her pack her clothes.

"Mother didn't say anything, did she?" Mrs. Jiang understood her mother-in-law's temperament, and felt that she must have talked a lot.

"No, this time my mother is very reasonable, and I agreed right away." Li Yan has always been committed to balancing the relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, trying to speak well of his mother in front of his daughter-in-law.

Knowing her husband's thoughts, Mrs. Jiang didn't say much, and started to pack her luggage.

"Are you planning to go back and stay for a few days?" Li Yan asked while helping.

"Three days." Mrs. Jiang had already made plans, and it was rare to go back. It would be boring if she lived for a short time, but her mother-in-law would definitely have opinions if she lived for a long time. Three days was just right.

Li Yan nodded, and said with some reluctance: "Oh, if I don't have to go to ethnology, I can accompany you to stay at my mother-in-law's house for a few days. I haven't been to my mother-in-law's house for a long time."

"There will be a chance in the future." Jiang smiled softly, but she was thinking in her heart that if her husband really wanted to accompany their mother and daughter back to her mother's house, Mrs. Li would not have to quarrel.

Before dawn the next morning, Li Meier was fished out of the bed by Mrs. Jiang, dressed in a daze, and then carried to Mrs. Li to pay her respects.

Mrs. Li just woke up now, she wondered if she was afraid that their mother and daughter would stay with her for breakfast, so she sent them away by telling her to come back early.

Jiang was very happy, got on the rented ox cart as fast as she could, and rushed to her mother's house.

Jiang's house is not too far from Li's house, and it only takes two quarters of an hour to walk. If Jiang was alone, she would have walked back, but Li Mei'er is too young to walk too far. I brought a lot of things, so I simply rented an ox cart.

The bullock cart was swaying, and the speed was not fast. Li Meier sat on it and dozed off, but after a short nap, her grandmother's house would arrive.

Mrs. Xu knew last night that her daughter was coming today, and she was already waiting at the door. When she saw the ox cart from a distance, she went to meet her with the woman beside her.

"Why did you bring so many things here?" Mrs. Xu complained while moving things down from the bullock cart.

"It's all some pickled vegetables I made. Dad likes to eat them. I want to bring some over here." Jiang Shi explained with a smile as he took his daughter who was still asleep from the bullock cart.

"Where did your father eat so much?" Xu said with some reproach.

"You can eat it if you can't eat it. And the second and third brothers, you can also take some with you when you go to the county school. This thing is put away, and everything is a dish when you take it out."

Jiang's cooking skills are good, and she is an expert at pickling pickles. No one who has eaten her pickles praises her.

"Come here this early in the morning, you haven't eaten breakfast yet, come in quickly, I'll feed you guys." Mrs. Xu took Li Mei'er from Mrs. Jiang's hands, and said beamingly.

"Grandma, I want to eat shredded pork noodles with pickled vegetables and a soft-boiled egg." Li Meier woke up from her doze when she heard that there was something to eat, and said sweetly in Xu's arms.

"Okay, grandma can make whatever my daughter wants to eat, shall we add a handful of green vegetables?" Mrs. Xu coaxed Li Meier.

"Can I not eat it?" Li Meier's expression was tangled. She didn't like to eat green vegetables since she was a child. Li Shi was afraid that she would not have enough nutrition, so she cooked them for her in different ways. When she grew up, she got better, but at this moment she still I don't want to eat vegetables.

"Good girl, let's just eat one, okay? Grandma also bought sugar cakes. After eating the vegetables, let's eat sugar cakes."

"Okay..." Li Meier reluctantly agreed for the sake of candy cakes.
