Ye Lian wiped away her tears and said, "You're trying to coax me again. I'm not talking to you anymore."
She looked at Fu Huaiyi and said, "Son-in-law, you tell us."
Fu Huaiyi was flattered; had he finally gotten past the hurdle of becoming friends after a fight?
"Mother, I'm watching, nothing will happen."
Ye Lian: "..." That's it?
Both kids have such big ideas!
"Alright, alright, have a seat. You must be tired from traveling such a long way. Sit down for a bit, dinner will be ready soon. We'll have the fish and meat for dinner, and I stewed chicken for lunch."
Lin Dawei also went to the kitchen to help.
At this moment, Fu Huaiyi asked Lin Yuyao in a low voice, "Do you think I've passed the test with our parents?"
"not yet."
"not yet?"
"Yeah, didn't I tell you? It only counts if you eat a fried egg."
Fu Huaiyi nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay, have a poached egg."
The dishes and meat were all on the table, but I couldn't find a fried egg.
Fu Huaiyi frowned slightly.
Ye Lian frowned as she watched her son-in-law looking around.
"Not to your liking?"
"No, it suits my taste."
Ye Lian smiled and picked up a chicken leg for him, "Then eat up."
"Oh, thank you, Mother."
Just then, I saw an egg in that bowl of chicken soup that had never seen the sky.
He quickly picked up the egg and said with a smile, "I like to eat eggs."
Ye Lian and Lin Dawei understood immediately, grasping his implication.
Lin Dawei: "Where are the eggs?"
Ye Lian laughed and said, "Look at me, I forgot about such an important thing. You eat first, our afternoon tea today is eggs."
Lin Yuyao secretly kicked him under the table, thinking that his hint was too obvious.
Who rushes you to eat eggs?
After dinner, Lin Yuyao helped Ye Lian clear the dishes, while Fu Huaiyi continued to unpack the gifts she hadn't finished opening.
We were worried that things might fall off on the road, so we tied them all to the trailer very tightly.
He originally wanted to cut it open with a knife, but his father-in-law said that the rope was a good rope, very strong, and would be convenient to use for tying things in the future, so he insisted on untying it slowly.
It took the two of them quite a while to untangle it.
At this moment, Ye Lian and Lin Yuyao both came out of the kitchen.
"This rope is good, sturdy, and can be used to tie up grain. Little Fu, don't you want it?"
Unexpectedly, his father-in-law was interested in his rope.
"No need, you can take it and move the grain."
After everything was unloaded, Ye Lian and Lin Dawei didn't look at the packages; instead, they were interested in his ropes and the welded trailer.
Lin Dawei asked, "This car is nice too, where did you buy it?"
"This wasn't bought; I made it myself."
"you made it yourself?"
"Yes, I went to a junkyard and got two wheels and some scrap steel bars, then brought them back and welded them together myself."
Upon hearing this, the two exchanged a glance and then simultaneously gave each other a thumbs up.
Ye Lian said, "Young Fu is capable and knows how to manage a household. He's making good use of waste materials. Look how nice this car is."
Lin Dawei took it in his hand and tried it out, praising, "Good, very sturdy. I think it can easily carry two hundred catties of millet."
Hearing what the two of them said, Fu Huaiyi said, "This cart is only used to carry these luggage. It's not of any use now. If you like, Father and Mother, you can use it to haul grain."
Lin Dawei was overjoyed. "Okay, then it's mine. Believe it or not, I do have some things to bring back. The muddy road over there is too bad, your mother always complains about it, so I need to go and get a few bags of cement."
Ye Lian said, "You've been saying this for days, hurry up and go."
"I was planting rice a few days ago, and I haven't had a chance to go yet. I'll go now."
Upon hearing this, Fu Huaiyi thought it would be good to have some physical work to do, and very tactfully said, "Dad, I'll go with you."
"to make."
As soon as the two of them left, Ye Lian pulled Lin Yuyao aside for a private chat.
"You've already decided on this person?"
Lin Yuyao nodded.
"That's good too. Although there was a misunderstanding when we first met, what he said made sense. It's a case of 'no discord, no concord.' I think he treats you well. He's quite good at handling things. Look at all the things he bought. He's much better than Lu Jiangting from the next village."
Every time Lu Jiangting came to visit, he would bring either two bags of fruit candy or two heads of cabbage. "When his family was poor, I could understand. We never let them suffer any hardship. Your father and I helped them a lot during his school years. But what happened later? Now that he's making money, it's still just two bags of fruit candy. It's so tiresome."
When her daughter wanted to marry him, Ye Lian even made excuses for him, saying that he was good at managing money and wouldn't waste it.
Now that things have come to this, being stingy is being stingy, there's no excuse.
Lin Yuyao said, "It's all for him. Anyway, he married Fang Qing, which is a happy thing for everyone."
Ye Lian was taken aback. "He really married that widow Fang?"
Lin Yuyao asked in confusion, "Don't you know?"
"Nobody told me, how am I supposed to know?"
Lin Yuyao took a deep breath, "I thought his father and his older sister had already talked about it when they came back."
"I told you so. They went to the south of the city to try and persuade her. The neighbors were asking how it went, but the father and daughter kept their mouths shut and wouldn't say a word. I guessed they didn't succeed, but I didn't expect they were already married."
"It's settled, we settled it last month."
"Oh, that's good, so as to prevent them from ruining good families' daughters."
Lin Yuyao pulled Ye Lian aside, "Mother, come and see what I bought for you."
"Okay, let me see what's included."
She thought the large packages mostly contained their clothes and personal belongings.
Unexpectedly, they each brought one set, and the rest were gifts for them.
"Why did you buy so much stuff?"
Lin Yuyao showed her the items one by one, saying, "He bought all of these. Look at these."
Ye Lian looked at the pile of things: cigarettes, alcohol, pastries, candies, what was that tree root? And what about that piece of floral fabric?
This half-eaten pork knuckle looks really delicious.
Why did you buy so much?
"I do not know."
"You were all together, didn't you know? You didn't even try to stop them, making them spend money."
She looked at the items carefully, "They don't look cheap at all; I wonder how much they cost."
“He bought it while I was at work. He said it wasn’t much, but it’s a tradition in his hometown to buy these things.”
"The gifts they give back to their hometown are quite generous, so we can't be stingy with our return gifts."
That... seems to be true.
"What are you going to do with this floral fabric?"
Looking at the floral fabric, Lin Yuyao rubbed her forehead. "He said he didn't know what kind of clothes you liked, so he bought this piece of floral fabric for you to make yourself."
Ye Lian: "How would I know how to do that? Even the crotch I sewed for your dad was criticized for having too few stitches."
"Take it to the tailor in town and have it made later."
"That's alright."
"What about this? Why does it still have tree roots?"
"This is not a tree root, it's ginseng."
This is something from the north; Ye Lian has never seen it before, but she has heard of it.
