Reincarnation in the 60s: My Spatial Supermarket Brings Forth Wealth-Chapter 277: Observing the Family Traditions
With the enthusiastic help of several people, the whole family simply had breakfast. By the time they were almost finished eating, Wang Yongsheng and his family of three finally came over.
It was said the child wouldn’t get up, causing quite a commotion. Their child is only two years old and at a very fussy age, so everyone understood.
The four sisters of Lin Xue, along with Bai Rumei, all took their breakfast back to their rooms to eat. In the end, even the two little ones found their way over.
Today was Xiao Yun’s main event, so both Lin Xia and Lin Xue dressed fairly modestly. Only Lin Yun was wearing light pink, looking playful and cute.
In this era filled with gray and black, wearing such a bright color stood out significantly. Coupled with Lin Yun’s beauty and her quiet, gentle personality, she was particularly outstanding.
"Big sister, I’m so nervous. More nervous than that day..." Lin Yun was still eating breakfast, yet couldn’t stop feeling anxious.
"Don’t be nervous, this is a stage everyone has to go through in life! Just think of it as meeting your future family! What’s there to be nervous about?" Lin Xue took a sip of meat porridge; her mother’s skill in cooking was all learned from her, it seems she’s mastered it.
"Big sister, you haven’t gone through it either! It’s easy to say, but how can one not be nervous? I’m even nervous for second sister!" Lin Xia said with a smile.
"Xiao Xia, you’re adding fuel to the fire! Saying that just makes me more nervous!" Lin Yun tapped Lin Xia’s hand with her chopsticks.
In nervousness, she didn’t even know what she was doing and ended up hitting her sister.
"It was just the circumstances that didn’t allow it! Besides, didn’t I go to the Capital City to see Zhang Yuan’s family later? And it wasn’t that nerve-wracking! What’s the big deal?" Lin Xue waved her hand, pretending to be relaxed.
In fact, she was also nervous to the point of retreating back then. Even though she was there, she stayed at the guest house for a night before going over.
These are things she definitely wouldn’t tell them.
She thought about it, and Brother Yuan hasn’t entered the space in a long time. Wondering how busy he is, she missed him a bit.
It was fortunate everyone was from the town, and the whole lot of them were bustling about. Just as breakfast was finished, Sun Bing came over, bringing along Lin Daliang’s leader to pick them up.
Seeing the whole family in such a grand gathering didn’t change their faces at all; it seemed they were well prepared.
When they arrived at the Sun Family’s house, a large family came out to greet them as well.
The woman’s gaze mostly fell on Sun Bing, while the man’s gaze openly fell on Lin Yun.
This left the two of them inexplicably less nervous, and they were invited inside.
The Sun Family’s living conditions were quite good, although their yard wasn’t as big as Lin Xue’s, it was still a separate home!
Two tables were set, tea was brewed, and they were served snacks, peanuts, and sweets.
The main table hadn’t been served yet when Feng Minghua and her sister-in-law took advantage of the distraction and stuffed plenty of candies and peanuts into their pockets.
Fortunately, the Sun Family replenished the servings twice; otherwise, it would’ve been embarrassing to leave empty plates.
Lin Xue couldn’t stand it anymore and went to sit between the two aunts, stopping their actions.
Feng Minghua saw Lin Xue coming over and immediately chuckled while munching on peanuts and drinking tea, which she ordinarily wouldn’t get to have, so she indulged today.
Lin Yun was pulled over to talk with Sun Bing’s sister-in-law, while Sun Qianqian stayed by her side, so Lin Xue felt reassured and kept an eye on the two aunts.
These two were peculiar and could embarrass the Lin Family, so today she had to keep a close watch on them.
Bai Xianglan and Grandpa Wang both received special care, with thick bedding spread on the kang, making it soft to sit.
Lin Daliang and his wife went out into the yard to observe, as it’s customary to see the family atmosphere.
After clearing the tea table, the dishes were served. Lin Xue still didn’t move, sitting between the two aunts, as she couldn’t guarantee they wouldn’t stuff food into their pockets, so she had to keep an eye to avoid embarrassing her second sister.
Looking at the six dishes being served, she sighed in relief, grateful she didn’t bring items from the supermarket space when hosting the Sun Family; her mother arranged it.
Therefore, it’s very fitting for this era. The meat was just pork and not much of it, just used in stir-frying, and although the grain was refined, she also made mixed-grain rice.
Looking at the Sun Family’s setup, it felt normal! In an era of material scarcity, having money doesn’t necessarily mean you can buy things.
Everything on the dining table came from their own garden.
Five-spiced pork with beans and eggplant stewed with potatoes, cabbage stewed with vermicelli, stir-fried pork with black fungus, green pepper scrambled eggs, tofu with scallions, and a cold tomato salad sprinkled with sugar.
These six dishes, in a regular family’s view, feel like celebrating the New Year, but to the Lin Family, accustomed to eating meat and fish daily, it was a rare occasion of simplicity.
However, only the Lin Family lived in good conditions; the other families were just average. In their eyes, Xiao Yun’s partner was considered a family of wealth.
Thumbs up, what a good family, looking at Xiao Yun’s partner showed promise as he was a high schooler, with potential future achievements!
Bai Dajiang and his wife looked especially pleased, discussing the Sun Family’s virtues with Lin Daliang, while Wu Zhaodi whispered to Wang Cuihua about how nice this family was.
But there were still a few who weren’t content, begrudging others’ good fortune.
Feng Minghua seeing Lin Xue sitting beside her, didn’t think of bad intentions but rather felt the eldest niece wanted to get close to her, and flattered her lavishly.
"Xiao Xue! Your partner returned to Capital City to work, right? They’re considerably better off than us ordinary folks, living in high-rise buildings? Eating meals of fish and meat every day? With maids to serve?"
She intended to curry favor with her eldest niece and ask for some benefits, hence she didn’t lower her voice.
Coincidentally, Wang Daya, Sun Bing’s mom, overheard as she came in, with Lin Xue looking up to see her face showing slight embarrassment.
"Big aunt, that’s an outdated notion, unacceptable! Now in the new society, there’s no service by maids, be careful or someone might report you and you’ll be taken for criticism and education!" Lin Xue glared at Feng Minghua.
The latter was scared and covered her mouth, not daring to speak further, while Wang Daya gratefully looked at Lin Xue.
She realized that Yun’er’s big sister was helping her alleviate the awkwardness, as she had heard from her daughter that Yun’er’s eldest sister’s fiancé was a person from the Capital City, with better conditions than her own family.
They were afraid the Lin Family might look down on theirs because of the eldest daughter’s fiancé, which might jeopardize their son’s marriage prospects.
Her daughter told them about her second son and Yun’er’s matters, including how her son took half a year off school to wait for Yun’er to study together, making them aware of Yun’er’s significance.
They feared if the Lin Family disagreed with the marriage, their son might make rash decisions.
As parents, whatever their son liked, they liked as well, and they would try their best to help arrange it.
Additionally, her daughter-in-law was an excellent girl; in every way, she was very satisfied and liked her from first glance. She couldn’t let this big aunt mess things up!
Seeing that no one from the Lin Family paid attention to her, and Yun’er’s big sister helped speak, she felt relieved.
She immediately pulled her daughter-in-law along to add dishes to each table.
Today, not only the Lin Family but their relatives also came over, so four tables were set up, and the meals were prepared adequately, with occasional additions.
