struggle in a small town

Chapter 244

Because Zhang Xuejiao didn't want to see Liu Jianye and didn't want him to enter her parents' house, she said that instead of running around on New Year's Eve, it would be better for the two families to spend at her house together.

Anyway, the family members are very familiar, so there is no possibility of embarrassment.

She also secretly called Zhang Yuqiao and told her true thoughts, and Xiao Yu expressed her full support.

But she reminded her that there is no TV at home, it doesn't matter if young people don't watch the Spring Festival Gala, parents and they will definitely watch it.

It was New Year's Eve in two days, and Zhang Xuejiao hurriedly ran to the Electric City, picked a large-screen TV at random, made an appointment to deliver it in the afternoon, and bought a TV box along the way.

When she got home, she looked at the bookshelf opposite the sofa, embarrassed.

Where is the TV?
Lin Zhiyuan proposed to remove the computer desk, hang the TV on the wall, and move the sofa so that it faces the TV.

Time is tight and the task is heavy, so this is the only way to do it.

I can't tell it normally, but when the sofa is moved away, there are many coins rolled under it, fifty cents, one yuan, and a lot.

Zhang Xuejiao found a basin with a smile on her face, threw all the coins in and washed them, and there were more than 20 yuan at one count.

When she wiped the coins, she joked: "It's like picking them up~"

"It was spent when buying vegetables."

Lin Zhiyuan rolled up his sleeves and started cleaning.

In the past few years, it was just cleaning the surface. This year, the elders will come. In order to avoid their criticism, he decided to clean up thoroughly.

He knew in his heart that if the home was not clean, the elders would blame Xiaoxue, thinking that she only cared about her work and failed to take good care of her family.

There are obviously two people living in the house, but most people think that housework is a woman's job, and even if a man only takes out the trash, he is considered a good husband.

Knowing daughter Mo Ruomu, Liu Huifang guessed Xiaoxue's thoughts and didn't object. She and Zhang Jianguo brought Wang Xiangmei to Xiaoxue's house early.

He didn't even greet Liu Jianye in advance.

After so many years, it is impossible to say that Liu Huifang has no objection to her younger brother.

In traditional Chinese families, the son is the treasure of the family, and it seems that the whole family should revolve around him, otherwise it is disobedience to parents.

Under Zhang Xuejiao's recent frequent brainwashing, Liu Huifang has awakened. She doesn't want to cover up her mother's partiality for her younger brother, nor does she want to ignore his various shortcomings.

Not long after, Lin Aimin and Song Xiuni also came, and the whole room was bustling with people.

Zhang Xuejiao took Lin Zhiyuan to work in the kitchen, let the elders watch TV, eat snacks and chat, and she made the New Year's Eve dinner.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Liu Jianye arrived at Zhang Jianguo as usual, but no one answered when he knocked on the door, and no one answered his calls to his sister and brother-in-law.

The neighbor just came out to meet and said that their whole family had gone out.

Liu Jianye stood at the door blankly, his first reaction was, what should we do for dinner tonight?
For decades, the New Year's Eve dinner has been eaten at the eldest sister's house.

Liang Fei remained silent, waiting for him to make a decision with lowered eyelids.

I know about my own family affairs. It has been 20 years since she married Liu Jianye, and the time she spends with her mother-in-law is only two or three days a year, which is not even as good as being familiar with her neighbors.

Liu Shibo was impatient and took out his mobile phone to call Zhang Xuejiao, but of course no one answered.

He called Zhang Yuqiao again, but Xiaoyu pretended to be stupid, saying that she was at her mother-in-law's house and didn't know what was going on.

Liu Jianye stood for 2 minutes, turned around and said, "Let's go home and do it ourselves."

Liu Shibo was not happy: "You two cooking is so unpalatable, I won't eat it!"

"I like to eat or not."

Liu Jianye was in a bad mood, and he said a few words to Liu Shibo on the way. He felt that he had been used to him all these years.

Liu Shibo was said to be in a hurry, and blurted out: "You don't like me, you go to Luo Yunlong."

Liang Fei came to her senses, and quickly persuaded: "For those who celebrate Chinese New Year, don't say a few words."

Both father and son kept their mouths shut.

Zhang Xuejiao's house was very lively.

Liu Huifang and Song Xiuni chatted over melon seeds, saying that it was the first time that they didn't need to cook New Year's Eve dinner, and they would continue to do such good things in the future.

Zhang Jianguo, Lin Aimin and Wang Xiangmei are fighting the landlord.

Don't look at Wang Xiangmei's old age, her mind is sober, and she is absolutely unambiguous when it is time to rob the landlord.

After nine o'clock in the evening, Zhang Yuqiao and Zhao Yang came with Xuanxuan.

Song Xiuni saw that Xuanxuan was so rare, she held her in her arms and fed an orange for a while, and pinched a crispy rice for a while, she really wished that Xuanxuan was her own granddaughter.

Zhang Xuejiao saw it, and quickly hid in the kitchen.

Before she closed the door, Zhang Yuqiao squeezed in: "Are you scared?"

"Yes." Zhang Xuejiao had nothing to hide: "They all want me to have a baby, but my current situation is really inappropriate."

"Have you been to the hospital recently?"

Zhang Xuejiao pursed her mouth: "I don't want to go, your brother-in-law took me to have a reexamination. It's weird, I don't know what happened to those three stones, they are determined to live in the kidney, and they refuse to drop them even if they die. come down."

"No, go to a big hospital and ask again. Maybe there is another way."

Zhang Xuejiao was very frustrated: "Let's talk about it after the new year."

The sisters also haven't seen each other for a while.

Zhang Xuejiao is too busy, busy during the week and even busier on weekends.

Zhang Yuqiao was on winter vacation, and spent most of her time and energy on Xuanxuan, and the development zone was too far away from the development center, so it would take time to take Xuanxuan there.

The two hid in the kitchen and chatted about many things in detail, family, career, children, everything is very important.

Zhang Yuqiao said that the dividends in the village have increased this year, and each person has received 30 yuan. The three of them have a total of [-] yuan, which is all given to her mother-in-law.

When going to the bank to transfer money, the teller was also worried that she had encountered a scam, and repeatedly checked whether the receiving account was someone she knew.

She smiled and said that it was her mother, it was not because she was cheated that the teller made the money transfer.

30 is not a small amount.

Zhang Xuejiao asked her if she felt distressed.

Zhang Yuqiao still used the same rhetoric: "Anyway, my in-laws are only Zhao Yang's son, and it doesn't matter if it's in anyone's hands. Besides, family and everything is going well. My mother-in-law is very good to me and Xuanxuan."

The only trouble she has with Zhao Yang is having a second child.

Her parents-in-law said that one child is too lonely. They used to have no conditions to have more children, but now the policy is relaxed. It doesn't matter whether the second child is a boy or a girl, as long as there is one more child.

Zhang Xuejiao just smiled, noncommittal.

"Sister, I know in my heart that they still want a grandson."

Zhang Xuejiao nodded, and understood Zhao Yang's parents, everyone wanted to make a good word.

Watch the Spring Festival Gala, eat New Year's Eve dinner, the new year is here.

Everyone said auspicious words one after another, and it was time to go home.

Zhao Yang was responsible for seeing off his father-in-law, mother-in-law and grandma, and Lin Zhiyuan was going to see off his parents.

Zhang Xuejiao cleaned up the mess at home.

Looking at the few melon seed husks falling on the ground, she was about to take a broom to clean them up, when she suddenly remembered what her mother said, don't sweep the floor before the fifth day of the new year, so as not to sweep away the fortune.

As a woman who is obsessed with cleanliness, Zhang Xuejiao used great restraint to let herself ignore the rubbish.

Lin Zhiyuan came in and carried a lunch box: "My mother forgot to bring the pig's trotter stewed in the morning, do you want to eat it?"

Zhang Xuejiao said listlessly, "Let's eat tomorrow."

"what happened?"

"Honey, do you regret marrying me?"

Lin Zhiyuan was startled, and hurried over to hug her: "What are you talking about?"

"I just saw Mom hugging Xuanxuan."

Lin Zhiyuan kissed her: "We will have children too, don't worry."

　Fortunately, misfortunes never come singly, grandma's problem has not been resolved, and her husband's younger sister is hospitalized.

　　She fainted on the side of the road, and was sent to the hospital with the help of a stranger, where she was found to have a congenital heart disease.

　　She is 26 years old and has not felt any problems before.

　　The trouble is that she works in Shanghai, and now there are confirmed cases of COVID-[-] in our province. Even after the vaccination, she used to have to be quarantined for [-] days.

　　The doctor's idea is to be hospitalized first, but it's not yet ready for surgery.

　　The family members said that if she recovers well, she should quit her job and come back for medical treatment.

　　Really, novels dare not make up what happened at home during this period, and readers will definitely scold them.
