"Mom said that the fourth brother will come back on the day of Laba and let you and the third brother go home for dinner."

Liu Zhier walked up to Meng Xiaoman and said.

"Oh, can you not go?" Meng Xiaoman asked.

Liu Zhi'er looked like you were crazy, "If you don't want Mom to invite you in person, you can try."

"That's okay." Meng Xiaoman agreed.

Liu Zhi'er left, thinking that the third family was still as bold as ever. Apparently, moving out to live alone didn't scare the two of them. She had never met Xiao Xiangdong, but from the look on Meng Xiaoman's face, he seemed to be living better than in the Xiao family.

Without her mother-in-law to take care of her and her sisters-in-law to scratch her, her life must have been more comfortable than at home, and she was also a little moved.

But as soon as the thought arose, she quickly stopped it.

If her mother-in-law finds out, she must be skinned.

The third brother and the two can break things. No matter how bad the younger siblings are, they still have a natal family in a big city and are not burdened by children.

You can't do this on your own. Her mother's family must be unreliable. Her parents are still counting on her to support her younger siblings. How can they have any spare time to help her?

My husband is more than loyal but not courageous. Although I have given him three children, according to his temperament, he will probably side with his parents-in-law.

Liu Zhi'er thought like this and returned to Xiao's mother.

Seeing her slumped face, Xiao's mother thought she was being rejected, and said in a harsh tone: "What's wrong? She doesn't want to come over? How come you can't tell anyone to do it even if you tell me to do it?".

Liu Zhi'er bowed her head when Xiao's mother said, "No, she agreed.".

"Then why are you so dejected? You will scare away any good fortune that comes to your family." Xiao's mother lectured.

The eldest daughter-in-law is diligent and capable, but she likes to look sad all day long. Mother Xiao gets angry when she sees her cowardly look.

Liu Zhi'er didn't open her mouth, but her head hung lower. She didn't know how to reply, and she was even more afraid that after telling her, Xiao's mother would punish her even more. She looked up at her husband in front of her on the right, expecting him to say something for her.

But the husband seemed not to hear and walked as usual. Suddenly, he paused and turned back slowly. He heard it. Did he want to speak for himself? Unexpectedly, the next words her husband spoke crushed her little hope, "Mom is right, you should smile more."

Liu Zhi'er gave a wry smile: "Yes, I understand.".

But after thinking about it for a while, I didn't find anything to be happy about, and the wry smile was evened out.

Zhou Xinghua next to her felt a little relieved when she saw her. After being married for so many years, her sister-in-law still didn't know how to please her mother-in-law.

On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Xiangdong got up early and cooked Laba porridge. Meng Xiaoman finally had time and took a long nap.

The two of them finished breakfast leisurely and cleaned the house. Seeing that it was almost noon, they changed into clothes and went to Xiao's house.

When Meng Xiaoman and the two arrived at Xiao's house, there was a young man standing in the yard who looked like Xiao Xiangdong, but he was smaller in stature and had a more frail temperament.

The young man first saw Meng Xiaoman entering the door. After looking around, his narrow eyes flashed with light. When he was about to ask who the person was, he saw Xiao Xiangdong behind her.

Meng Xiaoman didn't like the way he looked at people, so she deliberately slowed down and waited for Xiao Xiangdong to walk in front of her.

Xiao Xiangdong narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Xiao Xiangxi with a stern warning in his eyes. Then, he introduced: "This is your third sister-in-law, Meng Xiaoman, Xiaoman, and this is your fourth brother, Xiao Xiangxi.".

Xiao Xiangxi recovered from Xiao Xiangdong's warning eyes, put on a decent smile on his face, stretched out his right hand towards Meng Xiaoman, "Hello, third sister-in-law.".

This is the way city people greet each other. He only learned it when he went to the county town. He heard that this sister-in-law came from a big city and should be familiar with it. Unexpectedly, Meng Xiaoman didn't even look at his outstretched hand, let alone shake it. He just nodded, said "Hello" and walked towards the main room.

Xiao Xiangdong, on the other hand, glanced at his hand and said in a low voice: "Next time you reach out randomly, I'll chop it up and feed it to the pigs."

Xiao Xiangxi suddenly retracted his right hand and defended: "Just saying hello, everyone in the city is like this. Third brother, since when did you care so much? Mom said you changed after you got a wife, I still don't believe it , now it seems that it is true. But don't tell me, the new sister-in-law is indeed good-looking, much younger than you." He said, winking at Xiao Xiangdong.

Xiao Xiangdong saw that he was carefree and hit his leg hard with his crutch. "Be respectful to your sister-in-law. There is no new sister-in-law. You only have this sister-in-law of the old sister-in-law.".

Xiao Xiangxi was beaten unexpectedly. He covered his injured leg and cried out, "Okay, okay, I won't say anything anymore. Just shut up." After saying that, he made a motion to sew his mouth shut.

Before Meng Xiaoman reached the main room, he was surrounded by several little carrot heads, shouting for sweets. Meng Xiaoman had finished the candies she had long ago, and now she didn't have any. She had to pat her empty pocket and say, "No more. I gave you all the candies last time."

Afraid that they wouldn't believe me, I even took out my pocket. There was nothing in it except the keys to my home.

When several children saw that there was really no candy, they looked disappointed, "When can we get it?" Xiao Zhengjin asked. Since the third aunt left, he has not eaten candy once, and there is no candy wrapper to show off. His status among the friends All dropped.

Meng Xiaoman glanced at his dirty hands and said, "If you can wash your hands frequently and practice hygiene as I said before, and keep it until the Chinese New Year, I will give you candy."

"Third Aunt, I remember your words, look." Xiao Qingqing whispered and stretched out her hand.

Meng Xiaoman looked at her thin but clean hands and smiled appreciatively at her, "Wow, Qingqing did a great job. I will give you an extra piece of candy during the New Year.".

Xiao Qingqing was a little embarrassed to be praised by this beautiful and gentle aunt, and subconsciously waved her hand to refuse: "No, no reward.".

"You deserve this." Meng Xiaoman touched the top of her dry hair.

Sensible children are easy to suffer, but Meng Xiaoman feels that sensible children are more heartwarming, because many times they give up their rights and interests in exchange for it.

Lunch is fried pork with radish and cabbage. There are only a few thin pieces of pork scattered in the radish and cabbage in a clear soup with a few oily flowers floating in the water. Meng Xiaoman had a late breakfast and was not hungry. He only broke off a small half of the corn corn kernels and left more than half of the corn kernels. When he was hesitating about what to do, he saw Xiao Xiangdong taking it naturally.

Xiao Xixi was poking at the meat in the bowl, squinting at the interaction between Meng Xiaoman and Xiao Xiangdong, and whispered "liar" when she saw it. She went to the educated youth center to inquire and found out that Meng Xiaoman had no so-called infectious diseases at all, and the food he ate at the educated youth center was just a big pot of rice. She obviously didn't want to give away the dishes to her, so she made up the lie.

When Xiao's mother saw Xiao Xixi smashing the piece of fat meat she picked for her, she frowned and tapped the rim of her bowl, "If you don't give it to your dad, don't be a cheap meat."

"I don't want to eat it. It's so fat. I still want to lose weight." He said and gave the meat to Father Xiao.

Father Xiao didn't even raise his head and snorted the food into his stomach.

After eating most of the meal, Father Xiao cleared his throat and finally got to the point.
