The rough man from the countryside dotes on him silently, but his beloved wife is reborn and strives

Chapter 22 Preparing gifts for in-laws
She also praised her husband as being such a good son, and she wanted to know every detail.

After giving the son to the man, Xiaobao also cooed and happily followed his father to his grandma's room.

Next, Liu Fangfang regretted many times that she easily believed the man's words.

The consequence of easily believing the words of the man in front of me was that after being tortured for most of the night, my whole body was sore and weak, and I didn't get up until about three o'clock in the morning the next day.

When she got up, the food was already warm in the pot. Gu Liangcheng was not at home, and her mother-in-law was playing with Xiaobao on the kang. While playing, she was thinking about the cotton-padded clothes and trousers she had made for Xiaobao.

Liu Fangfang walked in a little embarrassed and said hello, "Mom, um, I got up late..."

"The food is still warm in the pot. Let's finish it quickly and let's start making cotton-padded clothes and trousers for Xiaobao. Maybe the train tickets will be bought soon, and you have to leave. I'm afraid it's too late!"

Mrs. Gu quickly pointed outside and told Liu Fangfang to go eat first.

Liu Fangfang smiled sheepishly and hurried out to wash up and eat.

After eating a few random bites, I started making cotton-padded clothes and trousers with my mother-in-law.

The two women started working, and Xiaobao was relatively well-behaved next to him. He was playing with himself and didn't care about time.

It wasn't until Aunt Zhang's voice from the west courtyard sounded outside that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were startled to realize that they both made a set of cotton-padded clothes and trousers and came out.

Quickly collecting the needlework and cotton, Liu Fangfang went out to greet Aunt Zhang.

"Fangfang, what are your mother-in-law and daughter-in-law doing? I shouted several times but no one answered."

"Hey... just make some clothes for Xiaobao, go in and talk to Aunt Zhang!"

"Aunt Zhang is here? Come in quickly!" Mrs. Gu's voice also sounded in the room.

It should be said that she gets along very well with her two neighbors. There is usually nothing to quarrel with.

"It's me, Sister Dajuan. I called you from the yard several times but you didn't respond. I was wondering what happened. Why don't I just come over and take a look!"

These two were the first to talk before anyone arrived, and they started talking even before they entered the room.

Liu Fangfang followed Zhang Xuelian into the house, not forgetting to pour someone a glass of hot water.

Zhang Xuelian was not one to beat around the bush, so she asked Liu Fangfang while she was pouring hot water.

"Sister Dajuan, I came here just to find out when we can get these thermos kettles again. My sister Lili is getting married. When she learned that the city sells thermos kettles, she asked our family to buy two. We really don't have any money. Come on, I missed it last time. I keep waiting, and the day over there is coming soon! My daughter-in-law is anxious!"

Wang Lili is Aunt Zhang's daughter-in-law. The first two daughters finally gave birth to a son, and the daughter-in-law they married also paid attention to her.

Mrs. Gu said with some embarrassment, "Well, I don't get involved in the children's affairs. I really don't know!"

Aunt Zhang immediately looked at Liu Fangfang, "Fangfang, do you know about this?"

Liu Fangfang didn't know if she could still get the thermos, and shook her head, "Aunt Zhang, Chengzi's friend put the thermos here last time. I really don't know. The thermos that doesn't require industrial stamps is already rare..."

"This... how can this be done? You said... I gave you all the money, but it was just a step away. When Fengzi's child came to our house to ask, we really had no intention of buying it, but the daughter-in-law's mother-in-law's family learned... this It’s a bit difficult…”

Aunt Zhang kept counting her difficulties, and her mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were helpless. They couldn't help her in this matter.

But as Aunt Zhang spoke, she looked at their thermos, and then rolled her eyes upward.

"Sister Dajuan, how about you sell your thermos to me first? I'll give you the money! Can you buy it when we get the thermos later in the city?" Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu immediately refused, "That's not possible, this is our home. The things that Xiaobao uses cannot be sold! I said to her, Aunt Zhang, think of another way. Isn’t it okay if someone doesn’t have a thermos as a dowry? If not, just buy two enamel basins, enamel Isn’t it okay to give a dowry in a vat?”

It is absolutely impossible for Mrs. Gu to compromise when it comes to matters related to her grandson.

What's more, this thermos is an important thing for her grandson. Whether he can drink milk powder in time depends on it.

"Oh, that's right. But my daughter-in-law and her sister insist on making a fuss about marrying a thermos. You think this is... annoying! I think back then, my daughter-in-law didn't bring a thermos when she got married. Isn't this a good thing..."

Aunt Zhang and Mrs. Gu talked about dowry.

Mrs. Gu glanced at her daughter-in-law.

Liu Fangfang's heart skipped a beat. She didn't have any dowry. The Gu family gave her a gift of 300 yuan and also bought her a sewing machine.

I sent 300 yuan home, but the sewing machine is still at Westinghouse.

Thinking about it makes her angry. She was so confused that she sent the 300 yuan back to her parents' family without keeping any of it.

Now that I think about it, it’s really not worth it for parents to be so partial.

She later married Liu Jianguo, and she was just a stone's throw away from her natal family. Her life was not good, and when Liu Jianguo was violent, her natal family never stood up for her.

As long as her parents take care of her, she won't live such a miserable life.

Later, when his parents died and he became mentally trance-like, his eldest brother and sister-in-law became strangers when they met each other, and they had not been seen since the demolition.

And their son... he would only call her crazy when he saw her, and never called her aunt.

When Liu Fangfang saw her mother-in-law chatting with Aunt Zhang, she quietly took her son out and put her son to sleep.

My son took a nap in the morning and had to take a nap in the afternoon. It was just time to go to bed.

Mrs. Gu chatted with Aunt Zhang for a while, and after sending the person out, she got busy.

Liu Fangfang coaxed her son to come out and take a look. Well, her mother-in-law took out all the dried beans that were dried in the summer and packed them in sacks.

"Mom, what are you doing?" Liu Fangfang asked.

Mrs. Gu raised her head, "I'll bring you some dried beans. Your parents are from the city, so they definitely don't have these things. I just want to send some over when you go!" Mrs. Gu said, while her hands were still busy. Just now She then thought about how incompetent her relatives were. Not only did they never visit her, they never even gave her a decent gift.

Liu Fangfang quickly stepped forward to stop, "Mom, no, no, no! We can keep these dried beans for our own consumption! They are also available in the city!"

And even if it wasn't available, she didn't want to give it to her parents' gang of white-eyed wolves. Wouldn't it be fun to keep it for herself?

"Ah? There are them in the city too? Look... Mom has never been to the city, so I don't know..." Mrs. Gu stopped in embarrassment.

"Mom, you don't need to prepare anything. We can just buy two gifts from the supply and marketing cooperative when the time comes! We can keep these for our own food. I love these dried beans the most!"

Liu Fangfang knew that it was inappropriate to reveal that she had a bad relationship with her mother-in-law, but she believed that neither her mother-in-law nor her man would bully her because of this.

Mrs. Gu misunderstood. She thought that city people were very particular and couldn't bring such shabby gifts when they came to the house. She put away the dried beans and put them away, then went back to her room and took out 50 yuan for Liu Fangfang.
