When Xue Ming returned to Guangming Town, he checked out of the hotel with Pei Lin. The uncle and nephew chatted for a long time around Mi Nanyang and his wife.

"My brother-in-law values ​​family ties and loyalty, so you can talk to him more often. My brother-in-law is very mean, so don't argue with her for Nanyang's sake," Pei Lin said.

"Uncle Pei's words are serious. She is the landlord and I am the tenant. There is no need to have conflicts with her." Xue Ming really didn't take Hu Liya seriously.

"Anyway, I wish you great success in the provincial capital. Don't forget to take care of me when you become the factory director in the future." Pei Lin joked half-heartedly.

"I have no interest in the factory director. I guess I will never be the head of the light bulb factory in my life." Xue Ming also joked with him.

The eight members of Xue's family boarded the train to the provincial capital. Pei Lin and his wife waved goodbye on the platform, "Xue has a good journey. We must work hard when we get to the provincial capital."

"Uncle Pei, please go back." Xue Ming waved to him through the window. We may never have the chance to see each other again.

The family was very excited to take the train for the first time. The children were shaking their heads in the carriage, and Liu Yuee couldn't help but look left and right.

The younger sister Xue Ying jumped up and down excitedly, "It turns out the train runs on the stomach. I thought it was running standing up."

The passengers in the carriage were amused. Xue Ying blushed and hid behind her sister-in-law. Han Yourong held her hand to encourage her.

After the train arrived, the family members walked out of the train station and were shocked to see the bustling provincial capital. They looked here and there like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden.

The station was quite far from Mi's house. Xue Ming called three rickshaws and went on the road together. When paying the bill, Liu Yue'e shook her head in distress, "What are you spending that money for? We just have legs to walk."

"Your son has plenty of money. Don't save money for me in the future." Xue Ming was really worried about how to spend money. There are no luxury goods worth spending these days.

Liu Yue'e rolled her eyes and was completely speechless when she learned that her son had bought two more bicycles and a radio. She wanted to educate him, but she felt sweet in her heart.

"Oh, this is Sister Liu, I've been looking forward to the stars and the moon and finally you are here." Hu Liya ran over dragging her bloated body and grabbed Liu Yue'e's hand tightly, with a flattering look on her face.

Xue Ming quickly introduced, "Mom, this is our landlady Comrade Hu Liya. Her lover is the leader of the light bulb factory."

"It turns out to be Sister Hu. My Xue Ming has always said that you are hospitable and a good person. I also want to get along with you soon." Liu Yue'e said with a smile.

"Haha, we sisters will do well in the future." Hu Liya never expected that Xue Ming would praise her, her old face turned into a chrysanthemum smile.

"Sister Hu, sit in her room." Liu Yue'e invited her into the room to talk. Xue Ming took out the key and opened his mother's bedroom.

The three east wing rooms are next to each other. The two younger brothers live in the north, the mother and two younger sisters live in the middle, and Xue Ming and his wife and children live in the south.

Hu Liya saw that the sewing machine was messy again, and she suspected that Xue Ming's family ran a bank. They had sewing machines, bicycles, radios, and watches. Is there anything more valuable than these?

Hu Liya's face was even more flattering, and she wanted to kneel down and lick the Xue family, "I didn't expect Sister Liu to be able to sew and mend. I have never seen such a skillful person."

"My eldest daughter knows how to sew, but I don't." Liu Yue'e felt that her enthusiasm was a bit too much, and she also felt her flattery.

Hu Liya caught Xue Ling and praised her, and immediately took out two pairs of torn trousers and asked Xue Ling to mend them. Xue Ling did not delay and started work immediately.

The rhythmic sound of the sewing machine attracted other residents. Sister Zhu, who lived in the west wing, also took out two pairs of rotten pants and asked Xue Ling to mend them.

"This is not right, wife of the Zhu family. Xiaoling can mend your family's pants, but you can't let Xiaoling get hooked on needles and threads again." Hu Liya supported Xue Ling.

"Sister Hu, don't worry, we can't let little sister Xiaoling work in vain." Zhu Bailing immediately went back to the house and took out the sewing basket, "little sister Xiaoling can use her needles, threads and brains as she pleases."

"No need, Aunt Zhu, I have needle and thread." Xue Ling was too shy to use Zhu's things.

Xue Ming shook his head secretly and decided to teach his sister the principles of life in the future. First, he would teach her that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

But Zhu Bailing was also a cheerful person, so she went home and brought two red hair ties to Xue Ling.

When other people in the yard heard the news, they all came over to join in the fun. They took out the rotten clothes at home and asked Xue Ling to help mend them. Xue Ling accepted everyone who came.

Xue Ming secretly kept accounts for them in a small notebook. Anyone who bought sewing machines for free would be blacklisted. Neighbors who liked to take advantage of the situation were not allowed to have close friendships.

Neighbors who give out thank-you gifts are put on the white list, and they can repay their kindness and make close friends. My mother will not suffer a big loss when dealing with them.

The younger sister and two younger brothers also found playmates of similar age. Han Yourong held Xue Yuan with a smile on his face and watched the fun.

Xue Ming noticed that Han Yourong looked tired, which was probably due to the long journey, so he took Xue Yuan away from her arms and said, "I think you are too tired. Go back to the house and have a rest."

"I'm not tired. Brother Ming, please hold Xiaoyuan first, and I'll help Lingling." Han Yourong said.

"Let's go, my mother and Sister Hu are here and I don't need your help." Xue Ming carried the child back to his den.

Han Yourong hurriedly followed, and couldn't help but feel elated when he saw the neat room and the brand new bedding and pillows. "Brother Xue Ming, I never dreamed that one day I would live in the provincial capital."

"As long as you are happy." Xue Ming saw Xue Yuan's eyelids fighting, so he changed the position of holding him to coax him to sleep.

"Happy, of course I'll be happy living with you." Han Yourong suddenly giggled and admired the furniture in the room with great interest.

Gradually, Xue Yuan fell asleep. Xue Ming put him on the bed and covered him with a quilt. Suddenly, he felt sleepy and couldn't help but yawn.

Han Yourong immediately carried the washbasin and went out. There were five large water tanks in the yard, and she didn't know which one belonged to her.

"Xue family's daughter-in-law, do you want to fetch water? Use mine." A young woman of similar age carried her child into the house, took out a water ladle and handed it to her.

"Thank you, eldest sister." Han Yourong smiled and took the water ladle to scoop out the water.

"Young girl is so polite, no wonder she married Comrade Xue Ming. But you have to watch your man, there is a vixen in our yard." The young woman glanced at the small house in the southwest.

Han Yourong smiled and didn't answer. She didn't care how many women your husband had outside, she only cared about whether she could help the Xue family.

He carried the washbasin into the house, opened the thermos bottle to heat the water, and then carried the basin to wash her husband's slipper feet.

"I'll do it myself. You can rest." Xue Ming put down the newspaper and slipped on his shoes.

"Let me do it, you must be very tired from renting a house these days." Han Yourong gently washed her husband's feet with slippers.

The water temperature was just right, and although the woman's hands were rough, they were very comfortable. Xue Ming felt warm in his heart. It was indeed heartwarming to have such a daughter-in-law at home.

She suddenly considered whether to give birth to a monkey, and she must have been feeling very uncomfortable since she had not yet performed the courtesy of Duke Zhou since her wedding.
