In the car, Park Hye-jin thought about it and said a serious thank you to Li Manjun.
Li Manjun was stunned, "What are you thanking for?"
She was a little panicked because she didn't do or say much more than Zhong Shirley and others, and she was basically in a soy sauce state.
Park Hye Jin said a little embarrassedly: "Thank you for not laughing at me."
In fact, she was most afraid of Li Manjun, because in the past she always said that Li Manjun was not a good mother and wife, and the two had troubles because of their different ideas.
Li Manjun thought she was going to say something, but that was it.
She smiled helplessly, "We are all women. I understand your choice and helplessness. The person who should be laughed at should not be you, but the person who did something wrong and chose to betray his marriage and family."
At the red light ahead, Li Manjun stopped the car, turned around and smiled at Park Hye Jin, "You are not wrong."
Park Hye Jin nodded heavily, "Well, I'm right!"
Tears were falling down in vain. Park Hye Jin was sobbing and couldn't control it at all. She choked and said while crying: "I am a woman, I can't control my tears, wu wu wu..."
"
Li Manjun laughed unkindly. She felt that Park Hye-jin had a constitution of incontinence of tears. She had cried so many times today.
She didn't ask her to control it, she just silently threw the tissues on the center console into the back seat and let her cry her heart out.
The Pu family was quite far away, so Li Manjun sent Pu Huizhen to her parents' house, and then returned home alone. By the time she got home, it was already seven o'clock in the evening.
As soon as she opened the door, her daughter put her hands on her fleshy waist and said angrily: "We have finished eating all the dumplings!"
It means that because she didn't come back early, she finished all the dumplings and left nothing for her.
Zhao Yong smiled, "I left a plate for you. Just turn on the heat and cook it and you can eat it. The stuffing made by mom is really fragrant, and the skin rolled by dad is also very chewy."
This bowl of water was held flat enough that Li Manjun was willing to call him a master of water handling.
Looking at Wang Xiaojuan and Li Dawei's sullen looks, you can tell how much they took advantage of their son-in-law's words.
Li Manjun put the cake on the table, and Aunt Guo had already taken the initiative to go into the kitchen and give her hot water to cook the dumplings.
Nian Nian climbed on the chair to see what the cake looked like.
Li Manjun asked her daughter to kiss him before showing it to her. Nian Nian sighed helplessly like a young adult and discussed the conditions before the kiss, "Can I see it after I kiss it?"
Li Manjun nodded, "You can watch it after you kiss me."
Every year, I lean in and kiss my mother.
Li Manjun opened the cake ribbon and lifted the paper lid to let Nian Nian take a look at the cake.
"Dad, there is a lamb!" Nian Nian excitedly turned to the living room and shouted.
Wang Xiaojuan and others stood up curiously and walked over. Li Dawei exclaimed: "What a sheep, little sheep, just like us every year."
Zhao Yong scratched his head, turned to his side and asked his wife in a low voice: "Isn't it a monkey?"
Li Manjun asked funnyly: "How did you calculate it?"
Zhao Yong said he calculated the solar calendar.
Li Manjun said: "The zodiac sign is based on the lunar calendar. It was the 29th of the twelfth lunar month in 1991, and it was the sheep."
I don’t know what the zodiac sign is in Nian Nian, but my grandparents all say that the lamb is me, and they jump excitedly on the stool.
Li Manjun shouted: "Zhao Jianing!"
The little girl stopped quickly and smiled cautiously at her mother.
Wang Xiaojuan protected her granddaughter, "Li Manjun, how cruel are you?!"
Li Manjun was speechless and waved for everyone to give way. He tied the cake packaging box again and placed it on the small table on the balcony.
In this climate, the balcony is a natural refrigerator.
Li Manjun is not worried that her daughter will come secretly to cause damage. In this regard, Nian Nian is still very well-behaved and generally does not touch things that adults do not allow.
And she also knew that she could only eat the cake tomorrow, for fear that the adults in the family would try to eat it secretly, but to protect her food, she would go to the balcony to take a look from time to time to see if the cake was still there.
When it was my birthday, as soon as I got up, I called for cake cutting.
Originally, Li Manjun planned to eat it at night, which was a bit of a ritual.
But Wang Xiaojuan felt sorry for her child and said she would light the birthday candles at noon and cut the cake for the birthday boy.
So, at noon, Zhao Yong and Li Manjun were ordered to close all the curtains at home and turn off all the lights for the sake of that damn sense of ritual.
I lit the birthday candles, sat on the chair every year, and couldn't wait to hold my hands in front of my chest to make a wish.
Grandpa told her that she can make a wish on her birthday and make a wish every year, and her dreams will come true.
Nian Nian paused for a while and said silently in his heart: I hope my mother will give Nian Nian chocolates every day from now on!
"Okay~" Niannian opened his eyes, blew out the candles with a "huh", and couldn't wait to say: "Let's cut the cake!"
Li Manjun cut the piece with the lamb to her, and Nian Nian slurped the lamb's head in one mouthful, giggling happily.
Li Dawei asked Zhao Yong to open the curtains, turn on the lights, and mysteriously took out a gift from behind.
Nian Nian never expected that there would be gifts to receive. His eyes lit up and he asked anxiously: "What is grandpa?"
"A talisman for every year." Li Dawei lovingly touched his granddaughter's face, hung a "nothing" sign around her neck, and placed it close to her heart.
Zhao Yong looked at the golden one and glanced at Li Manjun in surprise, "Dad, this is a big deal!"
Li Manjun took his hand, pressed it, and signaled him to stop talking and just take it, and they would just return filially in the future.
Every year, I observed the expressions of the adults and realized that the sign given by my grandpa might be very valuable. I turned to my parents, took off the sign and handed it to my mother, "Mom, take it."
Li Manjun kissed her daughter's forehead and said warmly: "The "Nothing Card" given by grandpa and grandma is very expensive. Children will lose it if they carry it, so mom will put it away for you first and give it to you when you grow up, okay?"
Every year I agree, "Okay!"
Then he ran to hang out with his grandparents and fed them cakes. The two old people felt sweeter than after drinking Mi.
After the birthday, it’s New Year’s Eve.
Li Manjun had promised Old Man Li to return to his hometown as soon as possible, so the family got up early and drove back to his hometown to celebrate the New Year.
The expressway is about to be repaired, and Li Dawei said that it will be opened to traffic in April next year. By then, the journey from Heather Town to Rongcheng, which originally took one and a half hours, will only take 40 minutes.
Everyone had a good life. For the New Year's Eve dinner, Qian Shufen and Mrs. Li prepared a large table of sumptuous hard dishes. They couldn't finish it on New Year's Eve. They continued to eat on the first day of the new year and barely finished it.
Li Dalong and Li Dawei discussed that after the Spring Festival is over and the weather gets warmer, they will demolish the old house and build a brick house.
The harvest was good this year, and the rice we harvested was sold for 600 yuan in addition to being eaten by my family.
Old Man Li had a private house, so he took out four hundred yuan and made up a thousand yuan.
At Li Daniu's side, the box lunches sold well this year, and the couple plans to continue making them next year. They have some spare money, so they also contributed 2,000 yuan.
This adds up to 3,000 yuan, which can build a two-story shelf.
But it's not enough to live in with just a shelf. It costs three to four thousand yuan to put in cement, whitewash the walls, and lay floor tiles.
