Reborn in the 1980s: I became a stepmother in the 1980s

Part 107 Getting married

Liu Dongdong suddenly understood, indignant, "How could she do such a thing? She's too malicious." "At that time, I really didn't know how to prove my innocence, so I thought of you. You don't mind, do you?" "Of course not, Sisi, it's my honor that you thought of me! Now that you've helped me, you're my savior, and I will repay you." Seeing Liu Dongdong's sincere demeanor, Lin Sisi was very satisfied and brought her home.

At the Fu residence, Fu Yang had just returned home and saw a familiar thermos box on the table. It was the same one that Sini had used to bring him soup before. He had never paid attention to it before, but now he involuntarily stopped and glanced over. Mrs. Zheng noticed her son's gaze and immediately said, "Son, you're back. Come, Sisi brought you some soup. Come and taste it." It had been a long time since the two children had been at odds, and now the girl had taken the initiative to apologize. Their son shouldn't be so indifferent. Fu Yang's gaze, which had just been fixed, suddenly turned cold. Lin Sisi? She brought soup, and she even used the thermos box that Sini had bought for him? The more he thought about it, the more he realized the vast difference between the two. If it were Sini, she would have come the next day. Lin Sisi had been like this for so many days, looking reluctant. She even used someone else's box. It showed her attitude towards him.

He appeared to like him, but his level of attentiveness was far from sufficient. It was only now that Fu Yang realized that those things he had completely overlooked were now so clear in his mind, as vivid as if they had happened yesterday. With a cold face, he went upstairs without looking back. Mrs. Zheng sighed helplessly at her son's attitude. He had been raised too proud and arrogant. At this rate, when would this marriage ever be finalized?

Fu Qianqian also returned home from work and saw the soup on the table. She quickly ran over, shouting loudly, "Mom, Mom, did Sini come to our house?" Mrs. Zheng came out of the kitchen and saw her daughter's excited expression as she hugged the soup box. She was somewhat surprised by her daughter's attitude but still shook her head. "No, it's from Sisi, that girl said it's for your brother." Fu Qianqian's big smile faded instantly, and she disdainfully tossed the meal box back onto the table. Mrs. Zheng remembered correctly, her son had the same expression just now. When Sini brought it before, both her son and daughter were disdainful, but her daughter would still finish it. Now, upon hearing it was from Lin Sisi, her daughter didn't even glance at it before leaving. She thought Lin Sisi was quite clever. Why didn't her son and daughter like her?

Happy Village.

Zhou's House.

Sini was teaching Zhou Yueshan to do his homework. Now, Zhou Yueshan loved doing his homework. Once he finished, he wanted Sini to check it, not afraid of making mistakes because he felt that even if his mom scolded him, she would do it gently. Zhou Yuexi, who was doing his homework on the side, looked at his little brother leaning against Sini's arm. He then looked down at his own unfinished homework and fell silent for a long time. When did his little brother, who used to take a whole day to finish a bit of homework, become so fast? He would run away when it was time to check his work, but he would sit obediently beside his stepmother, even more attentive than in the classroom. Zhou Yuexi felt like he was forgetting what his brother used to be like.

Outside, the sun was shining brightly, but one advantage of the countryside was that no matter how hot it was outside, the first floor of the house was always cool and refreshing. In the morning, Zhou Yuexi had cleaned the house, making it exceptionally clean and tidy, with not a speck of dust on the table. Now, the radio was on, Zhou Yuexi was sitting straight on the side doing his homework, while Zhou Yueshan and Yaoya occupied Sini's sides, playing with their feet, and listening attentively, respectively. This scene looked warm and happy.

Zhou Yuexi didn't quite understand what this feeling was until in the future, when his own children leaned against him to listen to him explain problems, he realized that the scene seemed familiar...

"Bang, bang, bang!" Someone knocked on the iron door outside.

Zhou Yuexi snapped out of his thoughts and got up to open the door. He saw the Lin brothers, Lin Feng and Lin Yu, standing there with bamboo baskets on their backs, carrying something he couldn't quite make out. They were sweating profusely, looking somewhat nervous and uneasy as they stood at his doorstep.

He hurried forward to open the door and let them in. It was their first time visiting Zhou's house, and both boys were nervous. They followed Zhou Yuexi closely, their eyes filled with a mixture of astonishment and curiosity as they examined the house of their future brother-in-law. They had heard that their sister's future husband ran a pig farm and was quite wealthy, but they had never visited before. This was their first time coming over, as their mother had sent them to deliver something to their sister.

They had thought the outside looked nice enough, but when they stepped into the house, which was bigger than their own just in the living room, they were once again taken aback. Their family didn't have a television, only a radio, which had long been broken.

Their village only had one black and white television set, which belonged to the village head's family. Whenever they had free time, everyone would gather around to watch it. But aside from their sister's future husband's house being so big, they also had such a large television. Especially with the brand new sofa and clean cement floor, both Lin Feng and Lin Yu felt somewhat out of place and awkward in their dusty clothes.

Seeing her two younger brothers at the door, Sister Nie was also surprised. "Xiaofeng, Xiaohan, why are you here?"

"Mom asked us to come and bring you something," said the older Lin Feng.

Lin Yu, who was mischievous at home, stood somewhat awkwardly behind his older brother.

Sister Nie approached and saw the various items in the baskets they were carrying: sunflower seeds, red stickers, rice and flour, eggs... It suddenly dawned on her that her wedding was just a week away, and she hadn't prepared anything yet.

Unable to help herself, it was her first marriage, and with no adult in the family, she really didn't know much about these things. Her mother must have anticipated this and sent over everything she needed to entertain guests.

She invited the two sweaty boys to sit down, then went into the kitchen to pour them each a bowl of green bean soup. When she came back with the bowls, she found them still standing awkwardly. She couldn't help but feel puzzled. "Xiaofeng, Xiaoyu, why aren't you sitting?"

The two brothers glanced at each other, blushing with embarrassment. They stuttered, "No, no need to sit. We're dirty, we'll just tell you and then go home."

Sister Nie paused for a moment, then frowned, "Why dirty? You're my own brothers, why be polite with me? Sit down quickly, drink some green bean soup to cool down, and I'll go prepare some food for you."

She placed the bowls of green bean soup on the table and gestured for them to come over. The two brothers glanced at each other before walking over hesitantly.

Seeing how awkward they were, Sister Nie didn't say much. She turned and went into the kitchen to cook.

Lin Feng looked at the cold green bean soup and couldn't help but swallow. When he saw no one was watching, he took a sip. It was sweet and refreshing, and he couldn't help but brighten up, quickly gulping it down.

It was so delicious!

Just a few days ago, he had eaten green bean cake that his brother had brought home, saying it was made by Sister Nie herself. Now, drinking this cool green bean soup, he felt incredibly refreshed.

This sister was really amazing.

At that moment, there was another commotion outside. The younger ones were all attracted by the noise and quickly ran out. They saw a group of tall, sturdy men carrying a fat white pig, heading towards the Zhou family's house. As they passed by, villagers stopped to watch.
