Chapter 1175: You Were Eavesdropping on Us

Today is the day the He Family departs for Beijing.

Before dawn, Mother He got up and started preparing the food for the train.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Wang Erni, heard the commotion and quickly went to the kitchen: "Mom, let me give you a hand."

Mother He was busy thinking, so she replied casually: "Knead the dough, steam the buns directly. In a bit, slice the pickles, stir-fry with chili, and pack it properly. They’ll go well together."

Wang Erni was an honest person and quickly got busy: "Mom, the words Second Brother and his wife said a few days ago, I overheard them in the yard. Have you made up your mind?"

Mother He frowned: "Were you eavesdropping on our conversation?"

Wang Erni didn’t stop what she was doing: "I didn’t have the leisure for that. My stomach hurt that day, so I came home early, just started simmering ginger sugar water, and then Second Brother and his wife came over."

Mother He’s face didn’t look pleasant: "Mind your own business. That’s Second Brother’s issue, and it has nothing to do with you and the eldest."

Wang Erni originally didn’t want to bring it up, but she didn’t want to leave happily and return disappointed. Third Brother’s not the type to be easily controlled, not to mention it’s their wedding, and you’re not supposed to just cause trouble.

She sighed softly in her heart: "I understand."

Anyway, she reminded them, and whether they listened or not was up to them.

Mother He had been indecisive all along, and the words from the eldest daughter-in-law made her even more conflicted.

At this moment, the eldest son, He Xunan, walked in from outside: "Grandma, Mom, I’m here to help you."

Wang Erni saw her daughter come in: "You stay out of it, go wake up your brother and them to get ready. The train won’t wait for anyone."

He Xunan washed her hands with a smile: "Don’t worry, they can’t forget what day it is. They’ve been up early, helping Dad pack the luggage."

Wang Erni remembered something, clapped her hands, and quickly went out of the kitchen towards the house: "Jiefang, those dried mushrooms, put them on top, don’t crush them."

He Jiefang responded from inside: "I’m not dumb."

Wang Erni laughed and turned back to the kitchen, and He Xunan joked: "Mom, you treasure those dried mushrooms too much. Even if they’re crushed, it doesn’t affect eating them."

Wang Erni quickened her pace: "Your third aunt loves these. They were sourced specially from the nearby village, and they look better if we take them out."

With He Xunan’s help, breakfast and food for the train were quickly prepared.

Mr. He stood in the yard and hadn’t heard any noise from the second brother’s yard, so he called over the yard wall: "Second Brother, are you up yet?"

He Jian Country was already putting on his shoes, and he quickly ran to the yard with his shoes half-on: "Up, up."

Mr. He said: "Hurry up and get ready, don’t miss the train."

He Jian Country replied and quickly went back inside, calling out to Gao Yumei: "Hurry up, or we won’t have time to prepare breakfast."

Gao Yumei stretched lazily: "Just grab a meal at the other yard when we get there, why cook?"

He Jian Country said unhappily: "If you want to be looked at funny, go by yourself."

With that, he shut the door and went out to wash up.

Thinking about the purpose of this trip, Gao Yumei didn’t dare delay any longer.

After eating and getting everything ready, Mr. He called out: "It’s getting late, hurry up."

Only then did everyone grab their luggage and head out the door.

The eldest son, He Xudong, looked at Mr. He: "Grandpa, aren’t we waiting for my uncle?"

Mr. He said while walking out: "They’re heading directly to the train station, we’ll meet them there."

Gao Yumei squeezed in and said: "Attending Third Brother’s wedding this time, our family’s presence really gives Third Brother a lot of face."

Her words instantly changed everyone’s expressions.
