Indeed, it was succinctly put in three words.
That impressive?
He guessed it before I even said it?
âXiaoyun, do you know what university your wife has gotten into?â
Yun Hao coolly spit out a few words, âKyoto University Law School.â
Uncle Guâs smile couldnât hold back. Were Yun Hao and his wife perfectly in sync?
âThatâs no fun.â
âUncle Gu, letâs have a drink when youâre free.â Yun Hao said, leaving.
Finally, Uncle Gu let out a sincere smile, but his joy didnât last long when he thought of one thing: his sister was not at the army barracks, so who can he get to cook for him?
What a strategic blunder!
Blunder or not,
Life goes on.
This New Yearâs Eve.
Yunâs mother woke up early with Yunâs father to tidy up. It was New Yearâs Eve and both their sons were coming home. They wondered if Huzi and his mother would come too?
âOld man, will Yunhan bring Huzi back home today?â
Mother Yun was uncertain if they could return, she helplessly asked Father Yun.
âThey will come back. Yunhan is very organized, she will come back.â It was New Yearâs Eve, they were sure to come back. But they are probably only able to stay till lunch before leaving.
They might not come back for the New Yearâs Eve reunion go today, and will only come for a visit on Lunar New Yearâs day.
âDaughter, bring some of the wine you brewed before for your father-in-law.â
Meng Yunhan took out the bottle of wine and started pouring.
They also prepared some pastries, their own fried dry fruits and some candies, one of each. That made one big bag.
When they were leaving, Meng Yunhan was carrying Little Huzi in front, and a carrying basket on her back.
âFather, wait for me to come back and stay up the night with you.â
Seeing Little Huzi, the old master started nagging Meng Yunhan, âItâs New Yearâs, for some things, weâll tolerate and let them pass, suffering is a blessing.â
He meant for Meng Yunhan to not quarrel with her two sister-in-laws during the New Year period.
âFather, I understand, donât worry.â
On the way, there were few people on the street because of the cold weather.
But the chilly winter day was decorated with festive cheer.@@novelbin@@
âMeng Zhiqing, youâre returning for the New Yearâs Eve reunion!â
Came carrying so many things.
âYes, Iâm bringing my child back for the reunion. Little Huzi has yet to pay respect to his ancestors.â
There was no choice. At this time, there was an emphasis on respecting their ancestors, especially during the Lunar New Year.
During Lunar New Year, every household was busy and there wasnât much gossiping going on.
But there were some gossipy women, discussing with their neighbors about the situation, âI saw that Meng Zhiqingâs carrying basket was filled to the brim.â
âYes, I saw it too, both sister-in-laws Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Fang only brought back a little meat for the New Year reunion.â
Thereâs no hurt without comparison.
Upon comparison, the hurt becomes obvious.
All are daughters-in-law, some bring back loads of things in big and small bags, some even used a carrying basket, while you only carry one thing in your hand for the New Year reunion, this is the difference.
Because itâs winter, the sun only rose at eight. The journey took some time, when they reached Yun Familyâs home itâs already ten.
Zhang Cuihua had also arrived at the Yun family with her children. Seeing Meng Yunhan carrying a basket and comparing what she had in hand, Zhang Cuihua felt like hiding her things.
âAuntieâ¦â As soon as Meng Yunhan arrived, Erniu timidly looked back at her mother before calling out weakly.
âErniu, sister-in-law.â She politely greeted with a hint of estrangement.
