Mother Yun chuckled, “Our little Huzi is still young. Wait till next year when he will be able to play with your brothers.”
Little Huzi looked at Mother Yun, then at his brothers playing outside.
In the kitchen.
“Sister-in-law, do you need any help?” Upon arriving in the kitchen, Meng Yunhan offered quite courteously.
Zhang Cuihua and Zhao Fang both turned around to see Meng Yunhan, wearing a smile they hadn’t expected. The last time they saw her losing her temper was still fresh in their minds.
They had thought that they were going to get a cold shoulder again, but it doesn’t seem to be the case anymore.
She even managed to greet them with a smile.
As if that incident never happened.
“Why are you both looking at me like this– is there something on my face?” Being young is an advantage, especially when you know how to maintain your looks.
It made them feel inferior.
“Little auntie…”
“Erniu, go to the hall, I have brought lots of candies.”
When kids hear about food, they get excited and can’t help wanting to take some.
So, upon hearing about the food, Erniu, with her short legs, rushed to the hall.
Her mom also bought food, but wouldn’t let her eat it.
Erniu’s departure left Zhang Cuihua feeling rather awkward.
But Meng Yunhan didn’t care whether they felt awkward or not. She pointed at the meat on the chopping board, “This meat was brought by sister-in-law, I saw her carrying it when I just arrived.”
Her casual tone made Zhang Cuihua a bit upset.
“By the way, sister-in-law, I saw your cousin last time during the college entrance examination, I wonder if he passed.” The casual mention of this topic and the concerned tone left Zhang Cuihua boiling with anger.
Her cousin didn’t pass the test.
But her sister-in-law did, and even got into Kyoto University.
“However, there is no rush if he didn’t get in this time, he can re-take the test in June next year. As long as he reviews more, he will surely pass.” The subtly praise and sneer left Zhang Cuihua speechless, unsure of what to say.
“Perhaps!” Zhang Cuihua reluctantly agreed.
Zhao Fang was stunned, since when did her sister-in-law become so articulate?
Wait a minute, she was articulate last time, and even more so this time.
Hopefully, she won’t suddenly shift the conversation to her.
Zhao Fang was scared that Meng Yunhan would suddenly bring her into the conversation, considering Sister-in-law was already struggling with just a few sentences.
Since her sister-in-law married her brother, she cared greatly for her cousin. But he didn’t pass the college entrance examination this time.
Meng Yunhan glanced at Zhao Fang and began cooking.
“Sister-in-law, you’re all here!” Yun Men also came to the Yun family to celebrate the New Year. Since her in-laws never visited her after she had her child, she returned to her parents’ house during the holidays.
“Dinner will be ready soon.” Meng Yunhan replied before resuming her cooking.
Meanwhile, Yun Hai, Yun Lei, and Father Yun were busy separating stacks of yellow paper.
For the children, Mother Yun gave each of them some candy, and had them watch over the three children in bed.
Once the dishes were cooked, Yun Hai and Yun Lei came to the kitchen to serve them, inviting the ancestors to come back for the New Year.
Mother Yun took Little Huzi and went to offer incense.
The daughters-in-law remained in the kitchen to continue cooking.
The sound of fireworks started outside, and the daughters-in-law in the kitchen started to serve the bowls, chopsticks, dishes, and soup.
