Not long after, Wang Chunying came over first with her children, accompanied by Li Mei and her children.
Everyone brought gifts, no matter how expensive they were, it was considered thoughtful.
Li Mei bought two thick quilts, which is not a small gift in ordinary times.
Wang Chunying brought two table lamps, which have a British feel, with beige lampshades and reddish-brown bases, which look good.
"Auntie, where did you buy this?" Shen Man was a little surprised. Is there anyone selling this kind of lamp at this time?
As far as she knows, this kind of desk lamp only became popular in the 1980s. Before that, anyone who had one would be easily criticized.
Wang Chunying explained: "I bought these a few years ago, but I have never dared to use them. Now they are loose, so I just give them to you."
As I get older, I no longer want to use this kind of thing.
Let's all go to the kitchen to help. With so many people eating, cooking is not an easy task.
When everyone arrived, everyone sat around the table in the living room. There were two tables in total, and one table simply couldn't accommodate so many people.
"Xiaoman, your house is really nice." Li Mei sat next to her and said with envy.
They are both sisters-in-law, so she has no jealousy. After all, she was able to come to the city and have the job she has now only because of Shen Man's help.
Seeing others living well makes Li Mei happier, so that she can support herself in the future.
Shen Man smiled and said, "A house is just for living in, as long as it's comfortable."
To be honest, if others heard this, they would probably say that she was showing off, but others would not.
Everyone has some wealth and can build a house if they want to, but it is not necessary.
Those who didn't drink would pack up their things after eating, and then go to the sofa to sit and chat.
Several children were having a great time playing nearby.
Shen Man looked at Li Wenting and asked, "How was Tingting studying at university?"
Originally, this kid was going to go to the countryside after graduating from high school, but he happened to catch up with the college entrance examination and went straight to college.
If I hadn't met Shen Man, I'm afraid it would have been difficult to take the exam. After all, I couldn't learn anything in school at that time.
Later, Shen Man also gave her review materials, and she was admitted to this university.
Li Wenting replied: "I'm studying well, I'm just thinking about whether to change my major."
She applied for agriculture, and this idea was completely influenced by her past.
But recently I have become interested in English and am very confused.
As soon as Shen Man heard this, he became interested and inquired carefully.
After learning about the situation, she said: "Tingting, I think you can choose English. This major is good and has great development prospects. In addition, you can take English as a minor and you don't have to change your major."
Since I am hesitant, I just can’t let go of agriculture as a major.
Li Wenting immediately agreed with this every day. It was very tiring to study two majors at the same time.
"Second sister-in-law, tell me, which of these two majors is better?" she raised her head and asked.
For some reason, Li Wenting always felt that this beautiful second sister-in-law could give her the best advice.
Wang Chunying couldn't help but pull her daughter: "Tingting, what major do you want to change if you have nothing to do? You have studied agriculture for more than a year, what should you change now?"
In her opinion, this is a child's uncertainty.
But Shen Man didn't think so and said, "Auntie, I think Tingting's preferences are the most important. Colleges are chosen based on preferences. If you choose a major that you don't like, there is a high probability that you will not be able to study."
No matter what the major is, if you are not interested in it at the beginning, it will be difficult to stick to it.
Instead of regretting it after graduation, it is better to start making new choices now.
"Yes." Li Wenting quickly agreed: "I think so too. I chose agriculture at first because I had no other options. Now the situation is getting better and better, and English may also have a future."
Looking at her sparkling eyes, Wang Chunying was reluctant to refute. After all, she was his daughter, so as long as she was happy, that was all.
"Okay, but after choosing this time, you can't give up easily." She still warned her, if she regretted it and chose something else, she wouldn't have learned anything in college, so why not make a joke?
"Don't worry, Mom, I will persevere to the end and persevere!" Li Wenting hugged her arm with a smile and acted coquettishly.
Wang Chunying was helpless by her, "Girl, how old are you and are you still acting like a baby?"
"What's the matter?" Li Wenting was not shy at all and said, "No matter how grown up I am, I will still be a child in front of you!"
I have to say, this kid is very good at talking.
Everyone chatted about their own things, and gradually the topic led to the New Year.
"Can we celebrate the Chinese New Year together this year? It will be lively!" Li Jinhua suggested.
She especially likes the time when the whole family gets together. Although cooking and cleaning up are a bit tiring, it doesn't matter.
"Okay." Wang Chunying said with a smile: "It's rare for your family to build such a big house. We will celebrate the New Year here this year."
Having said that, everyone agreed.
Shen Man even agreed that it would be better for everyone to get closer. Family members should get together more often, and the relationship cannot fade away.
When the gay men heard that they wanted to spend the New Year together, they didn't object.
That's it, it's settled.
The next day it started to snow, and the weather was not too cold.
"Year after year, it goes by so fast." Li Jinhua looked at the sky with a complicated face, with mixed feelings in her heart.
Gu Dacheng said with a smile: "Why do you think so much? We two are so blessed. We can just look at our grandson all day long. I never thought before that I would live like this in my fifties."
Which family in the countryside doesn't stop working until they are over 60 years old? Some families still have to work in the fields when they are over 60 years old.
Both of their children are promising, so they are allowed to retire early.
"You will enjoy happiness." Li Jinhua rolled her eyes at him and went into the house to see the children.
At this time, various units had nurseries, but they never sent them there.
There are a dozen or so children raised by one person there, how can they be as dedicated as their grandparents?
It will be easier when the two children go to preschool when they are six years old.
Shen Man came back from outside carrying things, "Mom and Dad, help me."
She shouted as she walked.
Gu Dacheng heard the noise in the house and hurried out to pick up people.
"What did you buy? It's so heavy!" Gu Dacheng was a little surprised. What's in this duffel bag?
"Dad, be careful, there are eggs inside, don't break it." Shen Man was afraid that he would not take it seriously, so she hurriedly warned him.
Hearing this, Gu Dacheng was surprised, they were all eggs? How many eggs are there?
A rough estimate is that it weighs more than 20 kilograms.
"Isn't this just catching up? It's collected from the countryside."
Shen Man came into the room and sat down and continued: "Now that the conditions at home are better, I will eat eggs more often in the future. You must eat them too. You must maintain your health and take care of my children!"
Her words made the old couple laugh. Why do you care about your children? You only care about their health.
But they didn't say anything. Their daughter-in-law was filial and they accepted it.
