After saying that, Mrs. Yang laughed to herself. "You didn't see Old Madam He's expression at that time. I'm guessing that after we left, she would definitely go around asking about Sergeant Lu's family."
"By the way, after you went back yesterday, that old woman didn't make things difficult for you, did she?" Mrs. Lin asked. "That old woman is really difficult to deal with. I used to think that Mrs. Ge was enough … I didn't expect that there would be Major He's mother. Is there something wrong with the feng shui of the house opposite yours? It's full of people."
"That's not true. I don't have any impression of Major He, but his wife is quite nice. She doesn't put on airs like her mother-in-law. She greets people when she sees them. She seems like a very easy person to get along with," Jiang Yao replied, "Major He's mother will leave after the New Year. Just bear with it."
After saying that, Jiang Yao laughed softly. "As for yesterday, she waited for Xingzhi and me to come back. Then, she asked us with a dark face why we stopped her from sending gifts to your house. Xingzhi pretended not to see her and didn't say a word to her. He pulled me into the house."
"So that's why the old woman scolded us so fiercely last night? I was wondering why I could hear Old Madam He scolding us from upstairs. "Mrs. Yang was amused and asked Mrs. Lin," What did she send to your house? "
"What else could it be?" Mrs. Lin was helpless. Mrs. Lin said helplessly, "Political Commissar Wu's wife also told me that Old Madam He keeps coming to her son and buys him snacks and toys from time to time. She can't stop her son from doing so. Just these few days, her son has been led astray. He even knows how to ask for things from other people. Old Madam Wu was so angry that he hung the child up and gave him a good beating. He said that if the child dared to take Old Madam He's things again, he would give him a beating every time he saw him.
To be honest, Old Madam He's petty actions really annoyed people like Mrs. Lin. However, the old woman herself did not seem to feel the disgust of others at all. She even thought of other ways every day.
While they were chatting, Jiang Yao drove the car to Jin City. The four of them first went to the market to buy some fresh vegetables. After buying them, they put them in Jiang Yao's car. Then, they went to the Spring Festival Street together.
Just like what Lu Xingzhi had said before, Jin City was especially lively a few days before the Spring Festival. There was a long street with almost no end in sight. The street was filled with all kinds of New Year goods. It was also a special street in Jin City. Every time it was this time, even people from the nearby urban areas of Jin City would drive here to join in the fun.
"Jiang Yao, you want to buy couplets?" Mrs. Lin was a little surprised to see Jiang Yao standing in front of the couplets stall. "Didn't your Sergeant Lu tell you that there will be couplets in the army?"
"Every new year, Sergeant Lu's house is the liveliest. Our family's couplets have been written by Sergeant Lu for several years now. Sergeant Lu's handwriting is especially strong. Last year, I asked Sergeant Lu for an extra pair to send back to my hometown. My parents said that the couplets were beautiful when they came to visit. With Sergeant Lu around, you don't have to buy couplets." Mrs. Yang chuckled and said, "This year, our family's couplets will have to be written by Sergeant Lu."
"Really?" Jiang Yao shook her head. "He really didn't mention it to me."
