Sister Li Yue recovered very smoothly, and after staying in the hospital for only three days, she packed up and prepared to be discharged.

Her mother-in-law, Yang Huaihua, packed her things and asked Li Yue hesitantly: "Sister Xiao Yue! After we are discharged, are you and the baby going back to our house for your confinement? Or are you going to Zaojunmiao to stay at your parents' home?"

Li Yue looked at her mother-in-law, who was clearly a bit awkward, and said with a smile: "Mom, why don't I go back to our house first! After staying at our house for a while, I'll go stay at my parents' home.

But after I go back, you can't ignore the fast-food restaurant. Let Grandma help me watch the child during the day, and let Yumin handle things at night."

"Eh, okay, let's go home!"

Yang Huaihua, who was panting slightly just a moment ago, immediately agreed crisply, happily wrapping Xiaodun'er tightly and holding this big grandson firmly in her arms.

During the few days of hospitalization, people coming to visit Li Yue never stopped—the eldest aunt, the younger aunt, the Hong Kong businesswoman, Fu Yiruo, Li Juan, Zhao Meiwen, and a group of women and girls kept grabbing Xiaodun'er to cuddle him, and Yang Huaihua had to wait in line if she wanted to hold her big grandson.

Li Juan and her cousin Zhao Meiwen, who came together to pick up Li Yue, were a bit strange, because Li Yue had been clamoring to have her confinement at Zaojunmiao, and had even argued with Wu Juying several times about it. Why did she change her mind at the last minute?

And although Yang Huaihua is a self-employed person who "does it if she wants to, and rests if she doesn't," she is actually less free than a worker who clocks in and out.

Grandpa Li Zhongfa called out to Cui Zhixian and said lightly: "You also worked your way up from the countryside, so you should know that there are some things that shouldn't be spoken of randomly until the last moment.

We can't help with Brother Xiao Ye's affairs, so we aren't qualified to add to his trouble."

And this is secondary; the main thing is that Yang Huaihua and Yang Yumin are not "idle people."

Is Li Ye a cold-blooded person?

"Zhixian"

Xia Yue studied at a teacher's college, and the shortest program is a two-year one, so she has indeed graduated this year.

But the key is that Cui Zhixian doesn't treat himself as an outsider. For example, regarding Cui Aiguo's job transfer this time, he and the eldest aunt, Li Mingyue, felt that Yang Yumin could intervene, help out, and put in some effort.

You try to argue! No matter how you argue, you're still a bachelor.

When the family was eating dinner in the evening, the eldest uncle, Cui Zhixian, suddenly asked Li Kaijian: "Kaijian, now that you have a grandson, you have something to look forward to regarding a grandson of your own, right?"

Li Ye whispered to Li Ying: "Just watch! The eldest aunt picked and picked, and picked a daughter-in-law who is good at arguing. It'll be lively from now on!"

"My XX is dating the daughter of a certain big official. When the time comes, you can come to me to get things done, no problem."

Logically speaking, this kind of thing can't be hidden for much longer now.

Li Zhongfa's words seemed neither heavy nor light, but the last half of the sentence was very clear: if you can't help, you aren't qualified to take advantage; just stay honestly to the side.

Plus, as long as Li Ye is on vacation and home, the "amateur renovation team" under Jiang Hong will tidy up Li Ye's house, using air conditioning, tiles, and wallpaper. In terms of living conditions alone, it is already almost the same as ordinary residences decades later.

Li Ye bought the Zaojunmiao courtyard with a "money is no object" approach, while when Yang Yumin bought the house in Zhongguancun, he was tight on money and was too embarrassed to use other people's money, so he naturally bought a courtyard of average quality.

Li Ying was stunned, then squinted and said: "It's okay, my sister and I will both help you fight her!"

The conditions in Zhongguancun are definitely not as good as Zaojunmiao.

Seven days after Xiaodun'er was born, according to the customs of Qingshui County, the mother's family had to send "blessing rice" to the baby, so Grandpa Li Zhongfa brought another group of relatives from his hometown to the capital and held a lively banquet.

The eldest aunt, Li Mingyue, nodded and said: "Yes, yes, yes, it's Xia Yue. What, Li Ye, do you know her? I haven't heard her mention it before?"

Don't you guys break my grandson!

This is no wonder; how many college students are there in the county? If Cui Aiguo wants to marry a female college student, his choices are limited.

And the Li family has always kept Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu's affairs very tight, unlike many people who, once they get involved with "noble relatives," shout it to the whole world before anything is even settled.

So now that Li Yue arranged for Wu Juying to go to Zhongguancun during the day to "work the day shift" and look after the child with her, it was beyond most people's expectations.

But Li Zhongfa also knew very well that his grandson was not a broad-minded person. If you didn't like him before, don't look for trouble later; he won't forgive you in this lifetime.

Li Kaijian was drinking happily. Hearing his brother-in-law say this, he smiled and said: "What's the rush! Brother Xiao Ye hasn't graduated yet! It'll take at least three or two years!"

The problem is that the eldest aunt and younger aunt are one thing, but where would those other young people know how to look after a child! They are clumsy and purely treat Xiaodun'er as a toy.

Self-employed people in industries like catering, transportation, and sales almost have no days off. Even if it were raining knives, they would worry, "If I don't open the door, what will I do if customers come?"

But with the general improvement of living conditions, starting from the eighties, it was basically a matter of where the conditions were better and where it was more comfortable to stay, and that's where the confinement would take place.

Don't listen to those freelancers bragging about how free they are; in fact, the anxiety of working 365 days a year without rest is something only they know.

Everyone at the wine table was stunned for a moment, and all looked at the eldest aunt, Li Mingyue.

Even the younger aunt, Li Mingxiang, didn't know that Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu had reached the point of being inseparable until her daughter came to the capital for school.

The mother's family doesn't have much surplus grain either. Your baby has the same surname as his father, so just spend the confinement at your mother-in-law's house!

Li Mingyue spoke with great enthusiasm, and the meaning was very clear—didn't you say my Aiguo looked ugly? I'll beat you to the punch and find a beautiful daughter-in-law first. By the time Li Ye gets married, my grandson will already be able to run errands.

Yang Huaihua, the grandmother, was anxious and spinning around, but didn't dare to speak out in anger.

Actually, regarding the question of "where to have the confinement," every place has its own customs. In some places with conservative rules, one must have the confinement at the mother-in-law's house.

This brother-in-law is an official-seeker who climbs whenever he sees a pole and drills whenever he sees a crack. Last time when Li Yue got married, he followed along wanting to build connections and climb the social ladder.

But the little sister Li Ying next to her saw the clues and took a moment to ask Li Ye: "What's wrong, brother? Is there something tricky about that Xia Yue?"

And Yang Huaihua naturally understood that this was her daughter-in-law following her own wishes! From the look in her eyes when she looked at Li Yue, one could tell that she was one thousand and ten thousand percent satisfied with Li Yue as a daughter-in-law.

"Sister, aren't you going back to Zaojunmiao for your confinement?"

If they knew that Li Ye had climbed a high branch, who knows how many "reasonable" good things they would think of!

Especially regarding Cui Aiguo's job transfer this year, Li Zhongfa helped arrange it, which made the Cui Zhixian couple believe that relatives are relatives, blood is thicker than water, and they have an unshirkable responsibility.

So Yang Huaihua didn't want Li Yue to go back to her parents' home for confinement at all; she hadn't cuddled her big grandson enough yet!

"That girl is good-looking and knows how to handle things. She's a top student from Qufu Normal University and is a teacher at the County No. 2 Middle School..."

He is definitely not that kind of person. Look at how he treats Fu Yiruo, Li Juan, and Zhao Meiwen—he helped them a lot.

"That's right! We were also preparing to go help you look after the child!"

"Three or two years?" Cui Zhixian looked at Li Kaijian meaningfully and asked: "That means it's already settled, right?

I heard from your eldest sister that I haven't seen that Wen girl come to visit Sister Xiao Yue these past few days, so I thought Brother Xiao Ye still hadn't settled anything..."

"Go, you don't understand. Stay at the mother-in-law's house first, and the mother's family sends rice—this is the rule!"

Cui Zhixian's face turned red all of a sudden.

If someone is almost thirty and hasn't married yet, they would say, "Oh my, why are you still picking and choosing! Look at me, my grandson is almost in elementary school."

"Oh my, Dad, don't think the wrong way,"

Li Juan rolled her eyes at her sister and also expressed her stance: "Brother, I'll help you too!"

Yang Yumin goes without saying; as a reserve cadre focused on by his unit, he cannot affect his work for a long time due to personal reasons.

It's just that what she couldn't guess was that Li Yue's "staying at her parents' home" wasn't staying at Zaojunmiao. She is the channel manager of the Pengcheng No. 7 Factory, and she has work everywhere in the country. Staying at her mother's place in Pengcheng for a few days is also very reasonable, right?

Li Mingyue raised her chin and said with a smile: "My Aiguo, he was introduced to a partner in the summer,

But the Li family never revealed Li Ye and Watching Wen Leyu's situation to outsiders.

But Li Ye asked in surprise: "A graduate of Qufu Normal University? A teacher at the County No. 2 Middle School? You aren't talking about Xia Yue, are you?"

Seeing her husband's red face, the eldest aunt, Li Mingyue, hurriedly said: "We aren't trying to add any trouble!

We just wanted to say that if Brother Xiao Ye doesn't hurry up, Zhixian will beat Kaijian to becoming a grandfather!"

What housewives like to show off most is their sons and grandsons, because the other party cannot refute this kind of showing off.

Li Ye smiled and didn't say anything more.

So many people in Qingshui County are spreading rumors that after Teacher Ke's daughter returned to the capital, she was no longer close to Li Ye, just a nodding acquaintance.

Li Kaijian pursed his lips and looked at Cui Zhixian.

"Heh, I'm not very familiar with my classmates from No. 2 Middle School."

Li Ye waved his hand: "No need, Grandma will take good care of her."

Grandma might not forget the entanglement between Xia Yue and Li Ye, even if the eldest aunt doesn't know.
