Cui Ze looked at them with envy. His own child was one year older than Huaixi, but he looked like a child.
"What about Huaixi?"
"This child fell down while going up the mountain some time ago and injured his tailbone. He is lying in his room and Huaizhou is with him." Jiang Wen explained, otherwise people would think the child was impolite.
"Oh, why are you going up the mountain in the snow? I'll go and take a look at this kid." Cui Ze and Jiang Wen have a good relationship, so it's natural for him to go and take a look. It would be awkward not to take a look.
"No need, the child is shy, don't go. The relationship between our two families is not about these empty formalities." Gu Lixia also stopped him.
Yang Jianping and Li Cui also came. Gu Lixia stood up to greet them when she saw them enter the yard.
"Oh my goodness, how many people can live in such a big house?" Li Cui was walking at the back and asked Yang Jianping as she walked.
"Welcome, welcome. Are the children cold? Director Yang, please sit down. Huaibei, come out for a moment." Gu Lixia invited everyone to sit down.
"This is our family's food ration. Oh, it came earlier than us. The children are dawdling because they either want to poop or pee. Don't blame me." Li Cui said in a hoarse voice.
Li Cui looked at other people's gifts, then looked at her own, rolled her eyes at the man, and wished she had a job even more.
"Have some tea. This is the tea that Huainan's uncle sent from Yucheng. It's Kuding tea, which has the effect of clearing away heat and detoxifying. It can relieve headaches, sore throats, and red eyes and ears caused by internal heat." Gu Lixia picked up the thermos again to make tea.
Huaibei took the children to find out where the toilet was.
Gu Lixia drinks it to remove metabolic waste from the body, moisten the intestines and promote bowel movements, thereby playing a certain role in weight loss.
Everyone knew about Gu Lixia's family structure. Yang Jianping was curious, "Is this the eldest nephew?"
"The second child is 13 years old this year and is in the second grade of junior high school." Gu Lixia quickly answered first.
She started introducing them again, "This is my husband, Jiang Wen. The one cooking in the kitchen is my younger sister-in-law Jiang Xiu and my oldest nephew Huainan. My second nephew Huaibei just came out. This is my third brother's wife, Shen Jianan, and my sister-in-law. This is Li Cui."
"Hello, sister-in-law. You can call me Sister Shen or Jianan. It's all fine." Shen Jianan took the initiative to greet them. She knew that she couldn't hold her husband back, so she learned a lot of this knowledge from her mother-in-law.
Lu Changzheng and Zhao Sixiang also arrived. Lu Changzheng was very friendly and said, "Oh, we are the last one to come?"
"No, Duofu and Shuguo haven't arrived yet, and Ge Jun is outside cleaning up the ashes." Gu Lixia hurriedly greeted the guests.
"Huaibei. Come out for a moment." Huaibei had heard the noise a long time ago and came out carrying Huaishu. The child was quiet and clung to his brother and refused to come down because there were strangers around.
"Let's go, I'll take you out to play." Huaibei invited the children in.
Zhao Sixiang took the fourth child out of Lu Changzheng's arms.
"Sister-in-law, come on, drink something hot. I didn't put any tea leaves in it for you." Gu Lixia is very good at dealing with people.
"Hey, Cuizi, you're here too. Sister, do you need help in the kitchen?" Zhao Sixiang looked at the people in the room. It seemed that her sister-in-law couldn't cook by herself.
"No need, sister-in-law, you take a rest. Do you need to go to the toilet?" Gu Lixia knew that Zhao Sixiang had just finished her confinement a few days ago.
"Yes, I was going to ask even if you didn't tell me." Zhao Sixiang is a quick-witted person.
"Come on, this way." Gu Lixia led Zhao Sixiang to the toilet.
Li Cui pinched her palm. They all brought more gifts than her own family. Shen Jianan was fine, but Zhao Sixiang knew the situation at her family and had lived in a staff housing compound for several years.
Look at this, he is a leader. He doesn't want to serve sugar water, but serves crying water. It's not like he hasn't drunk tea before.
No one knows what Li Cui is thinking.
"Oh, why is the toilet at home? The house will be full of bugs in the summer." Zhao Sixiang sighed. When she saw the faucet, she felt it was a waste, but she didn't say anything because it was inappropriate.
Gu Lixia gave him a direct instruction. "To urinate, just turn on the tap. To defecate, do the same. If you can't flush it, go outside and get a basin of water and continue. Use this gray towel."
After teaching, Gu Lixia went to the kitchen.
"Second sister-in-law, the dishes can be served. Duofu and Shuguo are not coming." Jiang Xiu said this. Gu Lixia felt that they would definitely come, but she didn't know why they hadn't come yet.
System prompts are coming.
"Then serve the dishes. I'll take these two plates." Gu Lixia brought out the shredded pork with fish flavor and the stewed chicken with mushrooms.
"Huaibei, tell your younger brothers and sisters to wash their hands and eat."
Jiang Wen heard this and ran to the kitchen.
"Then you go serve the dishes, I'll go call Ge Jun." Gu Lixia put down the dishes, put on her cotton jacket, opened the back door, and went out to see Ge Jun sifting ashes.
"Ge Jun, it's time to eat. Let's go back." Gu Lixia called Ge Jun and came back.
Ge Jun put down the sieve, got up and went into the room. "Hello, Director Yang, Hello, Director Cui, Hello, Director Lu. Shuguo and Duofu, go get the tea. I'm going to wash my hands and change my clothes."
Ge Jun went to the bathroom to wash his hands first, then went back to the house to change clothes.
After coming out, he quickly cooperated with Gu Lixia to arrange the children to sit. The older children sat at one table, and the younger ones sat next to their mother.
Like Huaizhi and Huaishu, they sit on the left and right of Huainan, and Huaixu and Huaizhou are on the left and right of Huaibei.
Next are the Cui family with four, the Yang family with five, and the Lu family with two.
Gu Lixia arranged for her sister-in-law to sit next to her, next to Shen Jianan, and Cui Ze came over, and the other two couples sat wherever they wanted.
Li Cui looked at the huge table of dishes and her saliva started to water.
These are mostly meat dishes, and the meat from three families is not enough.
Huainan watched the children of the Yang family pick up the plates and pour the food into the bowls. He quickly picked up some of the food that Huaizhi and Huaishu liked, and then picked up some for Huaixi as well. He first took it into Huaixi's room, and then came out and sat down. He found that each of the children of the Yang family had a plate of meat and vegetables.
The children from the Cui and Lu families didn't move, just watched.
Huainan knew how to treat these guests today, so he picked up the untouched ones and gave some to Huaixu and Huaizhou, and then invited the children from the Cui and Lu families to eat as well.
"You guys eat too. If you want to eat any dish, just turn the table." When Huainan said this, the other adults looked over. Yang Jianping's face immediately darkened. The people in his family each held a plate of food, with a steamed bun in the left hand and the food in the right hand.
This is how Li Cui teaches her children.
Gu Lixia, Jiang Wen and Jiang Xiu pretended not to see it, as did Cui Ze, Shen Jianan and Lu Changzheng. Only Zhao Sixiang felt gloating.
This leaves a bad impression on the leader and affects the men.
That was how it was in the family compound. Hungry children would come to the door to ask for food and drink.
Li Cui often had a rumbling stomach when she went out, and she sent most of her salary and bills back to her hometown. The couple was generous despite their poor situation.
They pretend not to see that their own children are starving to death, and act like good people. I have never heard people in the staff housing complex say that they are starving at home. They are the ones who take care of their nephews and nieces' marriages, and they are just a pair of suckers.
