Chapter 409 This Really Becomes a Family Affair
The kitchen is relatively small, and only Wei Yeyan and her mother-in-law are busy. Yun Qinghuan suddenly came in, and both of them were stunned for a moment.
Wei Yeyan spoke first, "Qinghuan, why are you in the kitchen?"
"Get out quickly, there is a lot of smoke here, don't let it fume you."
There were no range hoods in this era, so the kitchen with a cement floor could only open the window for ventilation.
But this ventilation is not very effective, and the smell in the kitchen is still very choking.
Looking at the town's tube building that the rural people envy, Yun Qinghuan suddenly felt that it is better to live in the countryside.
After all, in the countryside, they have a whole big yard, and the kitchen is also a traditional stove with a chimney to remove the smell, so cooking will not choke people.
Ordinary banquets can also be held in the yard. For example, her daughter's full moon banquet invited so many people, and it didn't feel so crowded when it was set up in the yard.
Moreover, their room is also large, so the family does not have to squeeze into a small room, and even turning over in sleep can be heard.
Wei Yeyan's house is big, and there are only four people living in it. Her mother-in-law doesn't live with them, so she feels okay.
But there is a family of more than a dozen people squeezed into one room in this tube building. After all, it is difficult to get a room from the unit, and you have to queue up. It's unknown how long it will take.
They are not like rural people. If there is not enough room, they can build a new house.
They can only live together as a family, and it is the same after getting married.
Yun Qinghuan even doubted that so many people in this family slept together, how would the young couple live their married life?
Putting aside these messy thoughts, Yun Qinghuan smiled and said after hearing Wei Yeyan's words, "I don't have anything to do in the living room, so I just come over to help you."
As she said, she came forward to help cut and fold vegetables without being told, and her movements were skillful.
Wei Yeyan saw her like this, and then looked at the people who were noisy in the living room. She knew that she was not familiar with them, and it would be embarrassing to stay in the living room forcibly, so she didn't say much.
With Yun Qinghuan's help, the cooking speed was much faster.
Because she was a guest, Wei Yeyan didn't let her do too much heavy work, just cutting and folding vegetables.
After she finished, she stood by and talked to Wei Yeyan, and handed her a plate from time to time when she finished cooking a dish.
Zhu Yao and her husband Zhang Jianshe came in time when the meal was about to start.
Her husband was holding the child, and she followed her husband. When she came in, she was sweating profusely and apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I was busy preparing ingredients for the evening and forgot the time."
No one in her family helped to buy things, and she did everything by herself. Although there were only a few guests, Zhu Yao was still exhausted.
Wei Yeyan said it was okay, turned around and poured a glass of water for Zhu Yao, asking her to sit down and rest quickly.
Zhu Yao was probably really thirsty, so she drank a glass of water, and then she caught her breath and looked around subconsciously.
When she saw Yun Qinghuan, she was stunned, "Qinghuan?"
It was obvious that she was surprised that Yun Qinghuan actually came.
After all, Baijia Village is not close to the town.
She came here because it was only one or two kilometers away from Wei Yeyan's house, and she was still exhausted.
Yun Qinghuan explained to Zhu Yao what she had just explained to Wei Yeyan.
Because Zhu Yao came, Yun Qinghuan had someone to talk to. She wanted to go into the kitchen to help serve the dishes, but was kicked out by Wei Yeyan.
Wei Yeyan's meal was not bad, with eight dishes, half meat and half vegetarian.
The men sat at one table, and there were relatively more women and children, so they sat at two tables.
At one table sat the wives and children of Shenhua's colleagues. Wei Yeyan put them at a special table because they were all familiar with each other and had endless things to talk about.
As for Yun Qinghuan and Zhu Yao, they sat at a table with Wei Yeyan and her family and in-laws.
After dinner, several people helped to clean up the table and dishes. After they were all cleaned up, those who had things to do left first. In the end, only Yun Qinghuan and Zhu Yao were left. They sat in the living room and talked for a while. When it was about three o'clock in the afternoon, Zhu Yao also left first.
"I still have to go home to prepare things. Remember to come over for dinner in the evening."
Knowing that she was busy, Wei Yeyan did not try to keep her.
Because she had the habit of taking a nap, Yun Qinghuan was a little tired after not sleeping at noon.
Seeing her like this, Wei Yeyan asked her to take a nap on the bed, but Yun Qinghuan refused.
It always felt a little strange for her, an outsider, to lie on the bed of Wei Yeyan and her husband.
Wei Yeyan probably saw her concerns and cleaned up her son's bed for her to lie on for a while. This time Yun Qinghuan did not refuse.
As for Wei Yeyan's eldest son, the boy especially liked the fist-sized car toy that Yun Qinghuan gave him. After dinner, he took the toy to show off to his friends.
Bai Naihan and Shen Hua were talking in the living room. They had served in the army together and had many common comrades.
The two chatted about the recent situation of their comrades.
Zhang Jianshe went home to help his wife prepare dinner for the evening.
Yun Qinghuan lay on the bed, listening to the noisy sounds coming from outside, and slowly fell asleep. When she woke up again, it was almost dark.
She raised her wrist to check her watch and found that it was already past five o'clock, so she got up and put on her shoes.
She opened the door and walked out, and found that Wei Yeyan was changing her son's diaper. She looked up when she heard the noise, "Are you awake? I was just about to call you. It's almost time. Let's pack up and go to Zhu Yao's house."
Yun Qinghuan looked up and didn't see Bai Naihan and Shen Hua, her eyes were full of confusion.
Wei Yeyan saw what she was thinking and said with a smile, "Your husband and others are waiting for us downstairs."
Being teased by her teasing eyes, Yun Qinghuan blushed a little embarrassedly, "Sister Yan, let's go, I don't have anything to pack."
She just saw that the bag she carried when she came was gone, and guessed that it must have been taken away by the man in advance.
Wei Yeyan responded.
Today she didn't take her eldest son to Zhu Yao's house, but asked her mother-in-law to take the eldest son away in advance.
She went with Shen Hua and his wife, and took the little one with her. If she took the eldest son to Zhu Yao's house, it would really be a family affair.
Yun Qinghuan went downstairs, subconsciously looking for the man's figure, and when she saw the tall and slender figure, she was relieved.
Especially when she saw the bag he was carrying in front of him.
Bai Naihan, who was talking to Shen Hua, also noticed this and waved at her.
Yun Qinghuan also raised his hand and waved at him.
Wei Yeyan, who was standing next to him, looked at her and smiled like an auntie. It was great to be young.
Zhu Yao's home was in the steel plant's family compound. It only took ten minutes to get there by bike. It was very fast.
After parking the car, he found a spot and knocked on the door. It was Zhu Yao who opened the door.
"Zhu Yao..." Yun Qinghuan smiled and was about to say hello to her, but when he saw her red eyes, he couldn't say anything.
