Lin Zhilan sighed, "This is too much."
Su Lang: "Please accept it. My eldest and second sisters-in-law received these when they got married."
Seeing the two thousand yuan made Su Lang feel a little better.
Regardless of what the father thought, at least the mother treated all his wives equally.
After putting away the letter and bankbook, Lin Zhilan began to organize the contents of the package.
Two bolts of solid-color polyester fabric, two bolts of floral cotton fabric, two industrial coupons, two packs of milk candy, and two packs of chocolate.
They are all in pairs.
Two children, and two sets of clothes.
Because they didn't know the dimensions, they deliberately made it larger.
Lin Zhilan gestured, indicating that the two children should be able to wear them just right next year.
These things were clearly prepared with care.
"Su Lang, did I send too little before?"
Su Lang laughed and said, "You've prepared enough. I've been on the island for so many years and I never thought of sending any local specialties back home."
"You're the son, and I'm the daughter-in-law. How can you compare us?" Lin Zhilan said reproachfully. She may not have eaten pork, but she'd seen pigs run. Her son was fine no matter what, but her daughter-in-law was different.
Su Lang gently pinched his wife's cheek. "Comrade Lin Zhilan, you married me. I only need to please you. You don't need to please anyone else."
Lin Zhilan brushed his hand away and scoffed, "Who needs your flattery?"
"Yes," Su Lang chuckled, "it was I who took the initiative to try and please you."
The two adults fell so deeply in love that their minds went haywire, and the whole house was filled with pink bubbles.
Jiang Chengzhou silently took out a chocolate from the package, broke it open, and shared it with his sister.
As for my uncle and aunt...
It's not like we're arguing, so who cares?
The next day, Su Lang called home.
Xu Yueyun was overjoyed. "Last time I heard from Chengzhou that you went on a mission, I thought you would spend the New Year at sea again."
"I came back early because of the typhoon," Su Lang said with a smile, adding, "Mom, we received everything you sent. Zhilan and the children love it. Thank you."
Xu Yueyun's eyes were red. "Why are you talking about this with Mom? How are you and Zhilan getting along?"
Speaking of his wife, Su Lang couldn't help but smile and say, "We're doing great. She's outstanding and beautiful. Mom, you were right about one thing when you were urging me to get married: marrying someone you love is indeed a very happy thing."
Xu Yueyun was initially a little sad because she hadn't been in contact with her youngest son for a long time.
As a result, Su Lang's words made her laugh.
She knew her son well; her daughter-in-law, Zhilan, had truly won his heart.
"Then treat her well; being a military wife isn't easy."
Su Lang: "I understand."
"Um..." Xu Yueyun hesitated, "How are Chengzhou and Zhilan getting along?"
"Very good, now Chengzhou treats her better than he treats me."
Hearing her son say this, Xu Yueyun was half happy and half worried. "Xiao Lang, you should tell Zhilan that Chengzhou is naughty. Just talk to him and reason with him. We don't hit children in our family."
Su Lang raised an eyebrow and sat casually on the table. "Mom, Chengzhou told you his aunt hit him?"
Xu Yueyun was taken aback. "This child lied to me?"
"No, not exactly, but..." Su Lang paused, "You have someone with you, right? And the medicine is ready."
Xu Yueyun clutched her chest. "Your dad's right here. Go ahead and say it."
Su Lang: "Chengzhou secretly went to the beach and almost got swept away by the waves."
"What?" A commotion came from the other end of the phone.
After a while, Su Bingcheng answered the phone, "Su Lang, what did you and your mother talk about?"
Xu Yueyun was just a little flustered, she'll be fine in a bit. She patted her husband's shoulder, snatched the microphone back, and said, "Xiao Lang, you have to teach Cheng Zhou a lesson, give him a good beating, a beating will make him behave."
Su Lang laughed and said, "Mom, didn't you say that we don't hit children in our family?"
"I..." Xu Yueyun was furious. "I misspoke earlier. Children need to be disciplined, otherwise they won't learn their lesson!"
"Mom, take good care of yourself. You don't need to worry about Chengzhou with me."
"I know, you all need to take good care of yourselves too."
Xu Yueyun spoke a few more words with her youngest son and then hung up the phone.
Su Bingcheng said anxiously, "I haven't even spoken to my son yet!"
Xu Yueyun snorted, "My son doesn't want to talk to you!"
"This kid still holds grudges," Su Bingcheng said with a stern face, displeased.
"If someone bullies his wife, is he even a man if he doesn't hold a grudge?"
Seeing his wife was angry, Su Bingcheng quickly smiled apologetically and said, "I deserve it. Didn't I reform myself after being taught by Comrade Xu Yueyun?"
As he was coaxing her, Aunt Yu, who helped with chores at home, came in from outside.
Aunt Yu is only in her early forties. Her husband died early, and her son has polio and can only use a wheelchair.
Because of family financial difficulties, he was recommended by the neighborhood office to work for the Su family.
"Aunt Xu, Uncle Su, a package has been sent from the island."
Xu Yueyun, no longer caring about being angry with her husband, immediately laughed and said, "It must have been sent by Zhilan. Xiaoyu, let me see it quickly."
"Eh."
Upon opening the package, a unique seafood aroma wafted out.
"Wow, such big dried abalone, and dried scallops and dried shrimp, this child," Xu Yueyun exclaimed, "is so thoughtful."
The capital is located inland, so seafood is rarely seen, and Aunt Yu had never even seen it before.
"Aunt Xu, I don't know how to make this either."
Xu Yueyun smiled and said, "It's alright, my daughter-in-law wrote down the instructions."
She looked down at the words on the paper; they were delicate and graceful.
The words speak volumes about the person; the youngest daughter-in-law must be a kind and intelligent girl.
Of course, this was her impression before she had seen the prescription written by Lin Zhilan.
Seeing the table laden with all sorts of seafood, Su Bingcheng said, "Xiao Yu, divide these things into three portions and send them to the eldest and second sons' families later."
"No way!" Xu Yueyun said, "What are you giving away? This was given to me by my youngest daughter-in-law, why should I share it with them?"
"There's so much, there's no way the two of us can finish it all."
"I'll eat it slowly if I can't finish it. It's all dry goods, so I'm not afraid it will spoil." Xu Yueyun said coldly, refusing to eat.
Su Bingcheng asked curiously, "What's wrong with you today? You're usually very generous to your two daughters-in-law, why are you suddenly being so calculating today?"
"Hmph!" Xu Yueyun's face turned pale with anger. "Didn't I tell the eldest and second eldest brothers? I said that their third brother got married. Anyone with a little sense would know that they should show their appreciation, right?"
I just asked Xiao Lang, and he didn't receive any packages from the eldest or second eldest brother, even though he's the older brother!
When they got married, Xiao Lang had just joined the army and spent several months' salary to buy them things. But when it was his younger brother's turn to get married, he didn't see any of it!
Just you wait, they won't be getting anything from me again! Want seafood? Dream on!
Xu Yueyun is a gentle person, so for her to be so angry that she's swearing means she's really angry.
