When the men finished drinking, they chatted while the women began cleaning up.
Guodong and Chaoyang were already used to it, so they helped with the work.
"Second sister-in-law, the men in our family really cherish their wives; the women are cherished by their men." Yue Lanfeng said standing up.
Qu Xiaoli also laughed. "That's how it should be. We all know how tiring it is for women; it's nice if men help with some work."
"Second sister-in-law, having you as a mother-in-law is truly a blessing."
"What's there to it? These are matters between the young couple."
The children ran outside to play. Li Yunqiang kept nagging them as he spoke.
Jing Chu and Li Xue followed Qu Xiaoli home without interrupting them.
The next day, they all ate at Shu Wen's house.
Three days later, Wang Menglin returned dusty and exhausted.
Now the family was only waiting for Li Manjiang.
"Dad and Mom, Manjiang will probably be back on the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month."
