Two generations of military wives compete for time

Chapter 282 Sister-in-law Wang Moli quickly integrated into the Lu Mansion

Professor Jiang Yuhan said: "Okay, our textile factory is most in need of college students who understand mechanics. Study hard, and when you graduate from college, you are welcome to work in the textile factory of Dream Come True Group."

At 11 o'clock in the morning, the driver Xiao Sun stopped the car at Wangfu, and Professor Jiang Yuhan and Yuan Daoqin got off. Then they drove a few steps forward and arrived at Lufu.

Sister-in-law Hao Xia had calculated the time and was waiting at the gate. Wang Moli quickly got out of the car, ran up and greeted Sister-in-law Hao Xia: "Dear sister-in-law Hao Xia, I'm sorry to trouble you."

The group got off the car in order. Ming Zhigang and Ming Zhiqiang were responsible for carrying the luggage. Grandma Lu Jingde, Professor Chen Zhuoran, Bo Xiang and Bo Wen also went out to greet them.

Sister Hao Xia led Sister Wang Moli to the room prepared for her. As soon as they entered the room, a picture of rich peonies hanging on the wall caught Sister Wang Moli's eye.

"The peonies are so beautiful. They are so pleasing to the eye. Hahaha." Sister-in-law Wang Moli exclaimed.

"Mom, this was painted by Grandma Lu. Grandma Lu is a university professor and a well-known painter. I am Grandma Lu Jingde's last disciple, hehe." Li Hongmei said.

"The peonies painted by Grandma Lu are so beautiful. Hongmei, can you paint too? My daughter-in-law is not only a female soldier, but she can also paint. That's amazing, amazing." Wang Moli praised.

Hao Xia's sister-in-law said, "My dear, the next room is prepared for Ming Zhiqiang. Please come and have a look. If you need anything, please tell me, Ming Zhigang, or Li Hongmei. Don't be shy."

Sister-in-law Wang Moli said, "Of course, of course. It's such a nice place. I've never lived there before. Am I dreaming?"

Ming Zhigang said: "Mom, you are not dreaming. This is Lu's house. Don't get excited. Just get used to it slowly."

Sister-in-law Wang Moli said, "Oh my, the plum blossoms on the wall look just like the real ones. They are so beautiful. I like looking at flowers. I saw many wild flowers when I was digging wild vegetables and herbs in the mountains of Dawan Village. I also like to plant some small flowers and grasses in my yard. I have never seen such beautiful plum blossoms."

Sister-in-law Hao Xia said, "Look how happy you are. We have many flowers in the greenhouse in the back garden, and there are many of Grandma Lu's paintings in her studio. You can just stay here and enjoy them slowly in the future."

Bo Xiang and Bo Wen jumped up and ran over to say, "Sister Hongmei, the meal is ready. Dad asked us to come and tell you to go to the restaurant to eat."

Ming Yuanhui and the housekeeper had already prepared a large table of sumptuous food, one to celebrate Ming Zhigang and Li Hongmei's return home as a newlywed, and the other to welcome Wang Moli and her son to the Lu Mansion to celebrate the New Year.

Qian Yizheng came to the second courtyard and invited Grandpa Kuang to have dinner with sister-in-law Wang Moli. Because Wang Moli had lived in the mountains of the Huaguoshan Scenic Area since she was a child, she was very familiar with the mountains and rivers of her hometown. She suggested that Grandpa Kuang communicate with her more about caves and air-raid shelters.

Grandpa Kuang happily followed Qian Yizhen to the restaurant at the entrance of the courtyard. Qian Yizhen immediately introduced sister-in-law Wang Moli to Grandpa Kuang. After everyone greeted each other, the twelve people happily gathered around the dining table.

Grandma Lu Jingde said, "Everyone, please take your seats quickly. Let's enjoy the delicious food and wine." Bo Xiang and Bo Wen also shouted in unison, "Let's eat, let's eat."

Grandpa Kuang suggested, "Please invite Comrade Wang Moli to taste our Kuangfu family wine."

Sister-in-law Wang Moli quickly said, "You guys drink. I'm an old country woman and I don't drink. Drinking makes people laugh at me, hahaha."

Hao Xia's sister-in-law said: "Moli, what era is this now? That family has a rule that women can't drink alcohol. Now it's a new era, and men and women are equal.

Mingzhi is about to fill your mother's glass with wine. This Kuang family wine is special. It is passed down from Grandpa Kuang's family. Grandpa Kuang's ancestors have been brewing wine and running wineries. You must try it and give Grandpa Kuang some face, hahaha."

Sister-in-law Wang Moli said, "Really? I only know that wine is needed for New Year, festivals, and visiting graves, but I don't know how wine is made. Today I met a real person who can make wine, so I will try the taste of Kuangfu's wine, hehe."

Wang Moli picked up the wine glass, took a small sip, and quickly swallowed it, which choked her throat a little and gave her a burning sensation in her stomach. She then poured all the wine in the glass into her mouth and drank it all in one gulp.

Grandpa Kuang asked, "Comrade Jasmine, how does Kuang's family wine taste?"

Wang Moli replied: "People say that white wine is spicy and hard to drink, but I don't find it hard to drink. I feel a warm current flowing in my stomach. It turns out that white wine can heat up the body, hehe."

Professor Chen Zhuoran said: "Baijiu is warm in nature, sweet, bitter and spicy in taste, and enters the heart, liver, lung and stomach meridians. It has the effect of dispelling coldness, activating blood circulation and unblocking meridians."

Grandpa Kuang said: "For us old people, drinking two or three taels of strong liquor every day can prolong our lives, but we can't drink too much. As the saying goes, good things should not be used too much. Hey, hey, hey."

Sister Wang Moli touched her stomach and said, "It turns out that white wine has so many benefits. Why don't I taste the sweetness and bitterness of the wine, but only the spicy taste?"

Grandpa Kuang said, "Comrade Jasmine, you drank too quickly just now. You need to drink slowly and taste carefully. Zhigang, fill up Mom's glass."

Wang Moli waved her hands and shook her head, saying, "No more drinking, no more drinking. I'm new here, and it would be so embarrassing if I got drunk and made a fool of myself."

Grandma Lu Jingde said, "I won't let you drink too much. Just drink three glasses of wine. You won't get drunk. Come on, let's raise our glasses together to welcome Wang Moli and Ming Zhiqiang to the Chen Mansion." Everyone echoed in unison and raised their glasses together.

After lunch, everyone went back to their rooms to rest. Sister-in-law Wang Moli returned to her room, opened the package, took out the clothes and shoes she brought with her, put them in place, lay on the bed for a while, then got up and went to Ming Zhiqiang's room next door.

"Zhiqiang, what are you doing? We live in Lu's house, so we need to be diligent and clean. We can't let people say that we are blind and annoying. We must remember to take the initiative to find work to do." Wang Moli said to her youngest son.

Li Hongmei and Ming Zhigang knocked on the door, pushed it open, and walked in: "Mom, brother Zhiqiang, we are going to the Wang Mansion for dinner tonight. Professor Jiang will host a reception for us, as well as Wang Wei and Yuan Daoqin. I will call you at the appointed time."

At six o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Moli's sister-in-law, Ming Zhiqiang, followed by Ming Zhigang and Li Hongmei, came to the Wang Mansion. When they entered the gate, living room and dining room of the Wang Mansion, Wang Moli's sister-in-law was shocked again.

She immediately felt like she had entered a movie. Those wealthy families, luxurious decorations, spacious courtyards, pavilions, gardens, and flowers blooming indoors were things she had only seen in movies.

"Mom, don't stand there like an idiot. Aunt Wang Min is serving you tea." Ming Zhigang reminded.
