What a great opportunity!
Any girl would be overjoyed to hear that she could come to Beijing to see her mother and sister.
Moreover, He Hongyang promised them that once they arrived, they wouldn't have to worry about anything, and he would take care of everything.
But why didn't she come?
"Is something wrong at home that's why she's not coming?"
Wang Liying and Zhao Ailing also found it strange.
Her younger sister is usually the most opinionated at home and longs for life outside the home the most.
Logically speaking, even if her twin sister didn't come, she would still insist on coming.
Since we can't guess the reason now.
Once the twin sisters arrive, we can ask them and find out.
He Yuzhu, He Yushui, and Wang Lizhen heard that someone was coming to their home.
They happily continued tidying up.
I bought a lot of meat and vegetables in advance, as well as a lot of cloth and cotton.
Anyway, they have a sewing machine at home.
When they arrive, I will make clothes for them by hand according to their body shape.
It must fit well and keep you warm.
I guarantee these two little girls will love it!
Qin Jingru noticed that the He family had been unusually lively these past few days, with everyone wearing smiles, either tidying up the house or constantly buying things for it.
"Sister, what's going on at their house? Why are they acting like it's a holiday?"
"I heard that He Hongyang's sister-in-law is coming and plans to stay here for a while, so I went to get things ready in advance."
Is his sister-in-law coming again?
Moreover, before the person even arrived, their house was already decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, and they were tidying up the house, buying fabric, food, and drinks.
That's so enviable!
She was also Jia's sister-in-law.
Why didn't she come prepared?
Even if they come, they'll still be eating coarse food every day.
I finally managed to eat some mushrooms, and I almost lost my life.
Jia Dongxu said he went to work every day, but he always came back empty-handed, without even bringing her a candied hawthorn.
That Jia Zhangshi would go straight to sleep as soon as she got home, and she had a foul odor on her body, so much so that she could only sit in the yard every day.
186. Picking up the twin sisters-in-law at the train station
Qin Jingru really wanted to see what He's sister-in-law looked like; it was worth all this trouble.
Although she also came from the countryside, it was still a rural area outside of Beijing.
The people in their village have all been to the city to some extent and have seen the world.
She was wearing patched shoes when she arrived.
But the clothes she was wearing were the best in her family, without a single patch.
Her mom washed her so clean!
Wang Liying came here as a refugee during a famine.
It's obvious that their family is not well-off.
Her sisters must be dressed in rags, with messy hair like a bird's nest, and maybe even have lice in their hair.
As she thought about it, she combed her hair.
He Hongyang went to the station to pick them up early this morning.
She wanted to see if they were prettier or dressed as well as her.
If he's pale and thin, and can't be presented properly, he'll eat the He family out of house and home.
She must remind He Hongyang then: Don't let them stay too long!
I heard that He Hongyang went to the station to pick someone up this morning.
Yan Bugui and the three aunts sat in the courtyard, waiting curiously.
They also wanted to see what Wang Liying's family was like.
The Wang family has no men; they only have daughters. In the countryside, having so many daughters in a row would be a disgrace.
Although Wang Liying and Zhao Ailing are both beautiful.
But that's because they ate and dressed well at the He family's house, which is why they looked so beautiful.
Her younger sisters must not only be ignorant of the world, but they are also dressed in rags like refugees, which will definitely bring shame to the He family!
Liu Haizhong also came to the front yard.
He stayed in the backyard for days without coming out.
It wasn't that he didn't want to come out, but as soon as he did, he heard people constantly praising He Hongyang, which he didn't want to hear.
Although his rank has been lowered, he used to be a respected figure.
I don't want to be overshadowed by a junior.
They were even less willing to hear others say how powerful He Hongyang was, or how few people in the He family could be counted in the courtyard.
He was eagerly anticipating this, fearing that something might happen to the He family so he could come out and watch the spectacle!
I heard that his family is having relatives come to visit.
She's his mother-in-law's daughter.
I couldn't hide the schadenfreude in my heart.
These girls will definitely embarrass He Hongyang.
A country girl like her, let alone coming to Beijing, probably had never even left her own home before.
Arriving here is like Liu Laolao visiting the Grand View Garden.
If they say things they shouldn't say, or do things they shouldn't do.
It will definitely cause everyone in the courtyard to burst into laughter.
Look at where He Hongyang's brother-in-law puts his face!
“He Hongyang went to pick them up early in the morning, probably because he was worried that their relatives wouldn’t know the way, so he went so early.”
"They not only don't know the way, but it's probably their first time taking a train, so they don't know how strange it is."
"In our neighborhood, how many couples have fought so fiercely because relatives from their hometown came to visit? It seems the He family won't escape this either."
"Other families send relatives from their husband's side, but this family sends relatives from their wife's side, and they're all girls. Could it be that they're trying to find them partners in the city?"
"Tch! Who wants them? Don't forget they're from the countryside, they have no jobs, no city residency, no ration quotas, which family can afford to support them?"
"Just because the Jia family married a rural woman doesn't mean everyone should be condemned."
"Qin Huairu is from a rural area outside the city, but they are different. They are so far from the capital. If anyone marries them, Zhao Ailing, the mother-in-law, will have to stay at each of their sons-in-law's houses."
"That's right. Look at Qin Huairu. Although she's not bad looking, she has no manners at all. She's lazy and loves to eat, and she fights with her mother-in-law. She hasn't given the Jia family a single son or daughter yet."
"It's better to marry a servant from a wealthy family than a girl from a poor one. Girls from humble families shouldn't be married; they'll only bring trouble."
"They say you have to look at the mother-in-law to marry a daughter. Zhao Ailing is both beautiful and capable, so her daughter shouldn't be as bad as you say."
"Don't forget the saying, daughters resemble their fathers. She had five daughters, they can't all look like her, what if they all looked like her husband?"
He Hongyang arrived at the train station.
Locate their carriage according to the train number.
They saw people coming down and kept peering inside.
Although there are no photos of the two sisters-in-law, they should be easy to recognize.
The two are twins and look almost identical.
Moreover, they are Wang Liying's sisters, so they must look like her.
So he was certain that he would recognize him at a glance!
Upon receiving the letter, Wang Lili and Wang Pingping bought train tickets and rushed here.
They are 17 years old this year.
I long for life outside.
Especially when I receive a letter from Zhao Ailing.
The letters would all say how wonderful Beijing is and how good their lives are now.
Besides their longing for Beijing, they also wanted to see He Hongyang!
Because Eileen Chang mentioned in her letters more than once that the money and food coupons she sent home all came from He Hongyang.
They all relied on He Hongyang to support them in Beijing.
He was not only capable, helping her and her sister find jobs, but he was also highly respected in the factory.
He's a doctor; whatever illness he gets his hands on, he can cure it with ease.
He can earn several tens of yuan a month and has bought several rooms through his own efforts.
The family has a bicycle, a sewing machine, and a radio.
These are all big-ticket items they've always dreamed of owning.
To this day, only the village chief in their village owns an old, worn-out bicycle, which everyone envies immensely.
Although life is tough in the village these days.
However, they had listened to He Hongyang and bought a lot of grain to store at home.
Therefore, they lived better than everyone else in the village.
I came here specifically to thank him!
"I heard my brother-in-law is ten years older than us. What do you think he looks like? Does he look like an old man?"
"I don't think so. He should act like an older brother, speaking in a mature and authoritative manner, like the village's accountant."
"Will he not welcome us? After all, Mom and my younger sister have been staying at his house for so long. Now that we're here, will we cause him any trouble?"
"No, Mom said in the letter that he took the initiative to let us stay at his home, and even bought us beds and tidied up the room. She said that her brother-in-law was incredibly kind and treated us like family."
"Hurry up and check if my hair is combed and my clothes are neat. My brother-in-law works in such a big factory, we can't let him down."
“That’s great. We sisters are the beauties of the village, so I’m sure we won’t be any worse off even if we go to Beijing.”
"Hehe, you little brat, you love to brag. Mom said we're going on a long trip, so we have to keep a low profile and not be too ostentatious."
"I was just trying to make you feel insecure, that's why I was joking around with you."
“We’re twins, you don’t think I don’t know. Actually, you’re probably quite nervous too. We’re not nervous. As long as we behave well at my brother-in-law’s house, we won’t hold Mom and my sister back.”
The car gradually came to a stop.
They saw someone peering inside through the window.
He was wearing a Zhongshan suit.
He was tall and imposing.
They look incredibly energetic.
