Siheyuan: The wife was intercepted after returning from the battlefield

The little girl smiled with her eyes shaped like crescents while holding the candy in her mouth. She kissed Lin Ping happily and said in a baby voice, "Sweetie, Xuanxuan likes Erguo the most."

Lin Ping laughed loudly, handed a bag of candy to Wang Xiuzhi and said, "Mom, you and sister-in-law should be sweet too. Our family will not be short of money in the future."

Wang Xiuzhi rolled her eyes at her son, but she didn't reject his kindness. She and Li Jing each put one in their mouths, then squinted their eyes and said, "It's so sweet."

The little girl looked at a bag of candy being taken away by her mother and said aggrievedly: "Mom, the candy is Xuanxuan's."

Wang Xiuzhi poked her daughter's forehead and said, "You clever little devil, I'll save these for you to eat two a day. If you eat too much you'll get cavities."

The little girl immediately covered her mouth and nodded. It seemed that Wang Xiuzhi had used this matter to scare her many times before.

In the evening, the family sat on the kang to eat. The little girl Lin Xuan's mouth was already full of oil, but she kept asking Wang Xiuzhi to pick up some food for her.

Lin An and his son Lin Shanhai were not in a good mood either, their eyes lit up when they saw the meat and dishes. Lin Ping knew that his family lived a frugal life, so he said with a smile: "Dad, brother, don't be in a hurry to eat, I have something good here." Then he took out a bottle of Maotai he had just bought from his backpack.

"Wow, stage." Lin Shanhai snatched the wine and said in surprise.

Lin An also said greedily: "Dad, open it quickly and let's try it."

Lin Shanhai hid the wine in his arms and said, "What do you know about wine, you little bastard? It would be a waste to give you this wine. Wife, take out the Lotus White that I have hidden, and let's have a few drinks together."

Wang Xiuzhi put down her chopsticks and went to get the wine. Lin An wailed, "Dad, I can't let you do this. Pingzi brought the wine back. You can't keep it all."

Lin Ping also smiled and said, "Dad, it's just Maotai. I'll buy it for you often in the future."

Lin Shanhai thought so too. His son earned more than 80 yuan a month and still had to provide him with good wine. So he said generously, "Look at what you have achieved. Here!" After that, he handed the wine to Lin An.

Lin An opened the bottle with a chuckle, and immediately a strong fragrance filled the whole room. Lin Ping sighed that the wine at that time was authentic and could make you linger in the cup, unlike those in later generations which were just famous for nothing.

Little girl Lin Xuan sniffed, took Lin Ping's hand and said in a baby voice: "Second pot, Xuanxuan wants to drink too."

Lin Ping laughed loudly and dipped some with chopsticks for her to lick. The little girl's face immediately wrinkled and she said with a pursed mouth: "Er Guo is bad. Xuan Xuan will not like you anymore."

The whole family laughed when they saw this. Lin Ping quickly took out three bottles of Beibingyang and gave one to Wang Xiuzhi and Li Jing. He then opened a bottle and handed it to Lin Xuan, saying, "Xuanxuan, have some soda."

The little girl's eyes lit up when she saw Bei Bingyang. She had only drunk soda once since she was born, so she took the soda bottle and said, "Thank you, Er Guo." After that, she drank it with a slurp, a satisfied smile on her little face.

The family ate happily and everyone was full.

When he returned to his room at night, it was very clean. Lin Ping felt warm at heart, knowing that his mother must come to clean it often. He lay down on the kang and fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning.

Wang Xiuzhi and Li Jing were washing up in the pool in the middle courtyard. Auntie Yi asked, "Xiuzhi, has your Pingzi been assigned a job after his demobilization? If not, I'll ask my family to go to the steel mill to ask for you."

Wang Xiuzhi sneered inwardly when she heard this, thinking that Anzi still hasn't got a formal job and you guys haven't helped him yet, so why should he ask for a favor now? Therefore, she said indifferently, "Pingzi has been assigned to work in the steel mill, so you don't need to worry about him, Uncle Yi."

Aunt Yi smiled awkwardly when she heard this. She knew that her family was at odds with the Jia and Lin families, so she was just trying to find something to say. She didn't expect to be rejected, so she hurriedly washed up and went back to the house.

Auntie San smiled and said, "Xiuzhi, your Pingzi has returned and has a formal job, so his life will be better in the future. Unlike my Jiecheng, who still has no job."

Wang Xiuzhi smiled and said, "Auntie San, my Anzi is still doing odd jobs. Whose life is better now?"

Auntie San sighed and said, "Who said it wasn't true? My family depends on the salary of the head of the household. We don't know when this life will end."

Wang Xiuzhi had no conflict of interest with the Yan family, and she also knew that the Yan family was not having a easy time, so she smiled and said, "Life will get better. When Jie Cheng starts working, your family will have an easier time."

As they were talking, the new bride Qin Huairu also came to the sink to wash up, and smiled awkwardly at Wang Xiuzhi, "Auntie Wang."

Wang Xiuzhi immediately turned cold and said, "No, I don't have a niece like you." After that, she wiped her mouth and turned away. Li Jing also left with a cold face, which made Qin Huairu feel a little embarrassed, so she hurriedly washed up and went back.

When Wang Xiuzhi got home, she angrily said to Lin Shanhai: "It's so unlucky that I ran into Qin Huairu so early in the morning."

Lin Shanhai now knew his son was successful, so he didn't take it to heart. He chuckled and said, "Why are you angry with her? If she doesn't marry our Pingzi, she will lose. But you should still ask someone to go to Qinjia Village and tell Qin Dashan that Pingzi doesn't want to marry Xiangru."

Wang Xiuzhi nodded and said, "I know. I'll ask someone to go today. Our Pingzi is a cadre now, so we can't just find someone to make do with him."

It was already eight o'clock when Lin Ping got up. After washing up, he went to his parents' room and saw a bowl of porridge and yesterday's leftovers on the table.

Wang Xiuzhi and Li Jing were sitting on the kang pasting paper boxes. When they saw Lin Ping coming in, they smiled and said, "Pingzi, the food is on the table. Hurry and eat."

Little girl Lin Xuan ran over happily, hugged Lin Ping's thigh and said, "Second pot, Xuanxuan wants to eat more." After saying that, she looked at Lin Ping with her big eyes blinking.

Wang Xiuzhi laughed and scolded, "You silly girl, you ate a lot this morning, you are not afraid of being full if you eat more."

Lin Ping held the little girl on his lap, took out an apple from his pocket and said, "Xuanxuan, eat some fruit."

Little girl Lin Xuan held the apple and said with a smile: "Thank you Erguo, Xuanxuan likes Erguo the most."

Lin Ping laughed loudly when he heard this. Wang Xiuzhi was happy in her heart, but she said, "Pingzi, just spoil her."

Lin Ping rubbed the little girl's head and said with a smile: "Mom, Xuanxuan is my sister. If I don't spoil her, who else can I spoil?"

The little girl looked at Wang Xiuzhi proudly and said, "Mom, I've decided. I'll like Erguo the most from now on."

Wang Xiuzhi said unhappily, "Come down quickly and let your second brother eat."

The little girl sensibly climbed down from Lin Ping's lap, came to Wang Xiuzhi holding the apple, handed the apple she had bitten to Wang Xiuzhi and said, "Mom, eat the apple."

Wang Xiuzhi took a bite of it warmly, and the little girl passed it to Li Jing, who also took a bite and said, "This apple is really sweet."

Lin Ping smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, I still have some in my room. You can go get some to eat later."

Li Jing didn't hesitate to say anything, knowing that her brother-in-law was capable, and nodded, "Then I won't be polite."
