Wearing books and sweet pets: the richest couple in the 80s

Chapter 202 She Really Has Changed A Lot

On New Year's Eve, the atmosphere of the New Year is even stronger.

After eating early in the morning, He Wanqing started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner, and Yang Wenlian was busy making glutinous rice balls.

Nan Province does not eat dumplings and eats glutinous rice balls during Chinese New Year.

In her previous life, He Wanqing was used to eating dumplings, so she was not too fond of glutinous rice balls.

Watching Yang Wenlian make glutinous rice balls now, I feel that they are a bit similar to dumplings.

Glutinous rice flour is mixed with warm water, kneaded into a smooth dough, a hole is pressed in the middle, and the filling is wrapped to form a glutinous rice ball.

Several children are helping the two of them.

Dajun lit a fire under the stove, while Sanmin and Xiaoman washed vegetables in the basin.

It's rare for the second soldier, who sees his head and tail all day long, not to go out for a while today.

It's not that he doesn't want to, the key is that today the children in the commune are confined at home, and no one plays with him when he goes out.

The second soldier hated doing housework, and he never cared about cooking and washing vegetables, but when he saw Yang Wenlian making glutinous rice balls, he couldn't help but want to follow suit.

As a result, before wrapping a few, a lot of glutinous rice was wasted on the chopping board, and his face and body were rubbed white.

He Wanqing couldn't stand it anymore, so she drove him out of the kitchen.

This time, the fillings prepared by Yang Wenlian are black sesame and red bean powder, which are very traditional fillings.

Everyone was busy with their feet not touching the ground, when suddenly there was a knock on the door in the yard.

The second soldier was chasing and shooting the white cake with a small water gun in the living room, and he couldn't help cheering when he heard the knock on the door.

"Brother Dingkun is back!"

Qin Dingkun was going back to the commune for the New Year, and the whole family knew that the New Year's Eve dinner was naturally prepared for him.

Naturally, He Wanqing also heard the commotion, but she was busy chopping vegetables and didn't leave the kitchen, but Sanmin and Xiaoman ran out in a hurry.

Yang Wenlian said with a smile: "These children really like Dingkun. When they heard that he came, they were all so happy."

The corners of He Wanqing's mouth and eyes curved in the same arc.

After waiting for so long, he is finally here.

I just don't know, this time he will stay in the commune for a few days.

It's best to stay past the Lantern Festival, and she can go to see the lanterns with him.

The more she thought about it, the happier she became, and she couldn't help but smile.

The surprised voices of several children came from the yard.

"Second aunt, why are you here?"

He Wanqing and Yang Wenlian were startled at the same time.

It turned out to be Liu Dandan who came.

Unexpectedly, she would come on New Year's Eve.

What was even more unexpected was that she came to repay the 200 yuan that He Wanqing lent her.

Seeing her struggling to carry a large canvas bag, Yang Wenlian quickly took it.

"A long way, what are you doing with so many things?"

Liu Dandan smiled kindly.

"It's the New Year's Eve, how can I go to someone's door empty-handed. These are the red persimmons distributed by my mother-in-law's village. They gave me [-] catties, and I couldn't finish them. I wanted to bring some to my eldest sister's family to taste."

Mother-in-law? !
It shouldn't be Zhang Yumei.

That old woman spends all day thinking about how to dig things out of other people's hands, and she will never take the initiative to give things to others.

"Second aunt, are you married again?"

He Wanqing asked tentatively.

"Ah."

Liu Dandan nodded, with a look of shame on his face, but calm.

He Wanqing looked at her carefully.

Compared to half a year ago, she was obviously fatter, her originally thin face had flesh, and her complexion was much ruddy.

It's just that the eyebrows and eyes are stained with some wind and frost.

He was wearing a light blue polyester jacket, black trousers, and thick-heeled leather shoes, all new clothes.

It seems that she has had a hard time in the past six months, but her mood has improved a lot.

Yang Wenlian chatted with her about the past six months.

It turned out that ever since she returned to Meihui County, she had applied for a divorce from Yang Wentao regardless of Zhang Yumei's tumbling and smacking.

After the divorce was approved, she packed up her clothes and went to Hongxing Commune in Linjiang County.

There is her aunt's cousin there.

She used the 200 yuan borrowed by He Wanqing to rent a small house, hired someone to build a wooden dining car, and pushed the dining car in the commune every day to sell her hometown snacks such as pancakes and spicy soup.

These two are snacks in the north, and no one in the southern province can make them.

The food is novel and the taste is unique, and it soon gained a reputation in the commune.

After half a year, she earned 600 yuan just by selling snacks.

"Wanqing, thank you so much. If you hadn't helped me at that time, I would have been desperate, and I might have committed suicide."

Liu Dandan thanked her without saying a word, and handed her another 200 yuan.

"I wanted to pay back the money a long time ago, but the business was too busy, so I really couldn't leave. It was so easy to wait until the Chinese New Year to stop doing business. I was busy for another year, and I didn't get free until today."

Seeing that she was indeed rich, He Wanqing didn't push back any more. After receiving the money, He Wanqing returned the IOU she had written.

"Second aunt," He Wanqing thought for a while, then changed her words again, "Aunt Liu, do you still live in Hongxing Commune?"

"I'm married. The man works in a canned factory in Linjiang County. I live with him in the dormitory in his factory. If you are free, you can come to the county to visit me."

Liu Dandan told her address in Linjiang County, took out four red envelopes from her pocket, and distributed them to the second soldier one by one.

Yang Wenlian was startled and hurriedly stopped her.

"This can't be done!"

Liu Dandan smiled lightly.

"Who says it's impossible, I took so much money from you, and the aunt who has been called by several children for so many years has never given anything to the children. Finally, I have a lot of money, so naturally I want to make up for all the past. .”

Liu Dandan didn't care about He Wanqing's change of words.

In her eyes, it doesn't matter what it's called.

Except for Dajun, the three children all looked at the red envelope eagerly, really wanting it.

But they all knew the rules and looked up at He Wanqing.

"Since it's Aunt Liu's wish, you all take it."

He Wanqing smiled.

She understood that Liu Dandan was trying to make up for what she owed Yang Wenlian's family in the past.

Although, the money was obtained by the Yang family and had nothing to do with her, but after all, she lived with the Yang family, and she would more or less always benefit from it.

When the children heard that He Wanqing agreed, they all beamed with joy, took the red envelope from Liu Dandan's hand, and said in unison: "Thank you, Aunt Liu!"

Sure enough, He Wanqing was relieved to see Liu Dandan.

After sending out the red envelope, Liu Dandan declined Yang Wenlian's kindness to keep her at home for the New Year, and left like a gust of wind.

In the kitchen, the two continued to prepare the New Year's Eve dinner, but the conversation inevitably turned to Liu Dandan.

"Your aunt, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you've changed so much. When she came to our house, she was always timid. She listened to your grandma in everything. She didn't dare to take an extra step or say a word."

Yang Wenlian recalled Liu Dandan in the past, and couldn't help sighing.

"But this time, she really became a lot cleaner. She even spoke louder than before. I didn't expect divorce to have such a big impact on her."

He Wanqing smiled and said: "In my opinion, the reason Aunt Liu became like this is not because she divorced my bastard uncle, but because the business in the past six months has caused her personality to change drastically."
