Chapter 97

“So much?”

Tang Wan was surprised. It wasn’t just a few beans, it was a whole basket full.

“I traded for them from a villager.”

Lu Huai’li still remembered Tang Wan giving her grapes last time. She wasn’t the type to take advantage of others.

Especially since this was her third sister-in-law.

“Then I’ll make some pickled beans.”

Tang Wan thought for a moment and said to Lu Huaijing, who was standing beside her, “Didn’t you catch fish last night? Catch one for Huai’li, children who eat more fish will become smarter.”

“No, no.”

Lu Huai’li felt a little embarrassed. Fish were more precious than beans. Her sister-in-law was too kind to her.

She subconsciously thought of the other two sisters-in-law at home. The eldest sister-in-law was stingy and cheap.

When she got married, her mother gave her a dowry, which made the eldest sister-in-law angry and she didn’t want to talk to her for a long time.

The second sister-in-law was better, but she was very proud and didn’t seem to want to interact with them.

But the third sister-in-law was different from what she had expected.

“Your sister-in-law told you to take it, so take it.”

Lu Huaijing put the fish in a plastic bag. Afraid that the fish would suffocate, he thoughtfully put some water in it.

Since it was Tang Wan’s order, Lu Huai’li didn’t refuse, but she looked at Lu Huaijing with confusion.

“Are you off today?”

“Hmm.”

Lu Huaijing nodded, “I just came back from a mission, I’m taking a day off.”

“Then come to my house for lunch, Niuniu hasn’t met her aunt yet.”

Lu Huai’li was again friendly beyond belief, which Lu Huaijing found incredibly strange.

But he still asked Tang Wan, “Wife, what do you think?”

“Okay.”

Tang Wan naturally wouldn’t refuse. So far, Lu Huai’li seemed to be less troublesome than the others at home.

She would see how it went, if it was suitable, she wouldn’t mind interacting more.

“Then I’ll go home and wait for you to come over.”

Hearing this, Lu Huai’li left in a hurry. Her new sister-in-law was coming over, she had to make some good meat dishes.

Staring at her back, Lu Huaijing was confused, “Has she been here before?”

“Yes.”

Tang Wan looked puzzled. Thinking about Lu Huai’li seeing her fierce side, she didn’t dare to tell Lu Huaijing.

But Lu Huaijing was still very curious, but he held back his question and simply told Tang Wan.

“If Lili makes things difficult for you, tell me first.”

Could it be that this girl had some ulterior motive? “You don’t even trust your own sister?”

Tang Wan chuckled. Lu Huaijing scratched his head awkwardly.

“No one can bully you.”

Not even his mother.

“Remember what you said.”

Tang Wan was in a good mood. They divided the work. Lu Huaijing washed the dishes, and she took out the dried fish from last night.

Afraid of being seen by people in the courtyard, she quietly asked Lu Huaijing to climb onto the roof and put them on the top.

Then she started washing the beans Lu Huai’li had brought. Lu Huaijing was weeding in the private plot.

“Lu Huaijing, do you like sour things?”

Tang Wan put the washed beans out in the sun to dry. Lu Huaijing answered without turning around.

“Sour cabbage goes with rice.”

“Then I’ll make some pickled radishes.”

Tang Wan took out two large radishes, washed them, and put them out to dry. Then she asked Lu Huaijing to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy two earthenware jars.

While Lu Huaijing went to the supply and marketing cooperative, she went to her space. There was no fish food in the fish pond in her space.

She could only go to the field in her space and pull some spinach. She chopped the spinach and sprinkled it into the fish pond.

Sure enough, the fish frantically scrambled for the spinach she threw in.

After finishing this, she looked at the cabbages growing in her space. She suddenly thought of the kimchi she had eaten in her previous life.

“I’ll make some kimchi.”

Thinking this, Tang Wan quickly picked two large cabbages, washed them, and dried them. Then, she prepared the seasonings.

At this time, Lu Huaijing rode his bicycle back. One earthenware jar was tied to the back of the bicycle.

He was holding the other one. He rode very slowly, afraid of breaking the jar.

“Wife.”

Lu Huaijing carried the jars into the kitchen. He looked dusty and tired.

The beans and radishes were already dried. Tang Wan was busy making pickled vegetables. When she looked down, she saw a package in the jar.

She took it out and opened it. Inside was a beautiful hair clip, a box of Snow Cream, and a box of Wanzi Qianhong Skin Cream.

“Do you like it?”

Lu Huaijing wasn’t a meticulous man, but when his dark eyes looked at her seriously, Tang Wan’s heart felt full.

“I like it.”

“I heard from the members at the supply and marketing cooperative that many women use Snow Cream. Use this first, I’ll buy you better ones later.”

Lu Huaijing didn’t really look at Tang Wan’s face. He thought she always went bare-faced.

Of course, Tang Wan wouldn’t tell him that she was using skincare products from her previous life, bought from the space mall.

She smiled, “I’ll make you something delicious.”

She thought, every woman is happy to receive gifts, and she was no exception.

Even her fatigue from last night was dispelled.

“Okay.”

Lu Huaijing also grinned, happily helping Tang Wan.

After pickling the radishes and beans, Tang Wan also made kimchi.

These couldn’t be eaten right away. After all this busy work, it was already noon.

Tang Zhou came back from outside with a small backpack, “Sis, I picked some wild vegetables.”

With his sister gone, he didn’t dare to go deep into the mountains, so he and Shengli picked some wild vegetables at the foot of the mountain.

“Wash your face, we’re going to visit your brother-in-law’s sister’s house.”

“Ah?”

Tang Zhou looked at Lu Huaijing in confusion, “Brother-in-law, you and Sister go, I’ll stay home.”

It didn’t seem right for him to go with his sister and brother-in-law to visit relatives.

“Together.”

Lu Huaijing pinched Tang Zhou’s cheek, and Tang Zhou instantly lost his will to resist.

He happily put down his backpack and bounced off to wash his hands and face.

Tang Wan put some Da Bai Tu candies in the basket, and a half-pack of brown sugar, and asked Lu Huaijing.

“Do you want to bring anything else?”

“Enough.” Lu Huaijing wasn’t completely ignorant of these social customs.

This gift was considered generous in the entire courtyard.

Since Lu Huaijing approved, Tang Wan naturally didn’t put anything else in. They were all in the same courtyard.

It was just that Lu Huaijing and the others lived in an apartment building, so they walked there.

This was Tang Wan’s first time coming to the apartment building. It wasn’t as spacious and independent as their small courtyard.

The apartment building here wasn’t tall, only four stories, and the rooms were all single rooms, not big.

Lu Huai’li and the others lived on the second floor. It was lunchtime, and many people were cooking in the hallway outside their doors.

Seeing them, many people nodded slightly to Lu Huaijing, “Deputy Regiment Leader, visiting your sister?”

“This must be your sister-in-law, she’s so beautiful.”

“Hello, sister-in-law.”

“…”

Lu Huaijing led Tang Zhou ahead, and Tang Wan followed closely behind them.

Luckily, they soon arrived at Lu Huai’li’s house. It was a single room, only about twenty to thirty square meters.

Lu Huai’li was standing there chopping vegetables. A little girl was in a bamboo baby carriage.

The child was only about ten months old, babbling in her mouth, playing with a round bamboo ball.
