struggle in a small town

Chapter 29

If you want to talk about the ability to save money, you have to look at the previous generation.

After the 80s, Zhang Xuejiao is better, and she is used to thrift.

Zhang Yuqiao belongs to the typical moonlight family, who spends what he spends, and has absolutely no desire to save money.

Zhang Xuejiao once reminded her that she hoped she could save some money, but she retorted confidently: "I live at home, I don't need money for food and rent, and I don't have children to support, so there is no need to save money."

Zhang Xuejiao wanted to say more, Zhang Jianguo, the daughter of the slave, immediately took care of her: "Xiao Yu will live at home for the rest of her life, and I will take care of her for the rest of her life."

Zhang Xuejiao thinks about it too, anyway, it's only Zhang Yuqiao's younger sister, at worst, she will take care of her more in the future, she can do whatever she likes.

The four chatted for a while, and Liu Huifang's voice came from downstairs: "Xiaoxue, come down and cook the fish."

"Come on!" Zhang Xuejiao stood up: "I'm going down, you guys are chatting."

Lin Zhiyuan also stood up: "I'll help you, and learn how to cook by the way."

Zhang Xuejiao wanted to refuse at first, but on second thought, she wanted to give Zhang Yuqiao and Zhao Yang some time alone so that they could communicate, so she didn't say anything.

When passing by the living room, Zhang Jianguo and Lin Aimin were playing chess, and Song Xiuni was chatting with Wang Xiangmei.

Very homely scene.

Lin Zhiyuan followed Zhang Xuejiao, saw this scene and asked with a smile: "Do my parents come to your house often?"

Without even thinking about it, Zhang Xuejiao blurted out: "Grandma likes to be lively."

Lin Zhiyuan looked at her back, feeling more and more that she was smart.

Obviously there are outsiders who often come to the family, even if they are very familiar, there are always times when it is inconvenient.

But she neither said it was good nor said it was bad, and she just moved the old lady out, leaving the person who asked the question no choice.

He also praised Song Xiuni and Lin Aimin for their filial piety, and came to accompany the old lady from time to time.

It's a pity that Zhang Xuejiao didn't know what he was thinking, otherwise he would have to say that he had a big brain!
Anyway, people who fall in love, regardless of gender, are very good at making up brains.

In the kitchen, the range hood was humming, and Liu Huifang was busy wielding a shovel, and the aroma of chili was exuding from the pot.

Zhang Xuejiao leaned over and said, "Stir-fried fat intestines with pepper?"

"Your dad likes to eat."

Zhang Xuejiao was choked, turned around and covered her nose with her arm and sneezed. Seeing that the rice cooker had jumped, she said casually, "I unplugged the rice cooker."

"Okay." Liu Huifang instructed her: "Take out the soup pot, and fill out the ribs in the stew pot."

Standing by the side, Lin Zhiyuan watched the interaction between the mother and daughter, but didn't know what to say.

Zhang Xuejiao was not in a hurry to serve the pork ribs, so she put a piece in the bowl first, tasted it after blowing it cool, and gave Liu Huifang an opinion: "The time for stewing the pork ribs is short today, it will not leave the bone."

"Then you set it on fire again."

Lin Zhiyuan finally found an entry point: "Auntie, now there is a kind of electric pressure cooker, which is very convenient. You don't need to worry about putting ribs in it, and the stew is very bad."

Li Huifang only heard the word "pressure cooker", and immediately thought of the pressure cooker she had used before: "It's too dangerous. I blew up one before, and almost blew up the roof."

"It's different from a pressure cooker." Lin Zhiyuan looked like a small electrical appliance salesman: "The pressure inside the electric pressure cooker is not so strong, and you can choose different cooking times according to different ingredients."

Zhang Xuejiao thought it was quite reliable: "Mom, I'll buy one tomorrow, let's try it first."

As soon as Lin Zhiyuan heard that there was an opportunity to be courteous, he quickly answered: "Since I mentioned it, let me buy it. I bought one before and have experience."

Zhang Xuejiao turned around and looked at him: "No, I'll just buy it myself."

"You're welcome"

"I'm not being polite to you." Zhang Xuejiao looked at him with a blank expression: "Aren't you here to help? There is a rag here, wipe the table and prepare for dinner."

Lin Zhiyuan took the rag and went out.

Liu Huifang felt baffled: "Did you take gunpowder?"

"It's annoying to see him."

Liu Huifang turned off the fire and stared at Zhang Xuejiao again and again, making her feel uncomfortable.

"Mom~ what are you looking at!"

Liu Huifang smiled strangely: "My Xiaoxue is so beautiful, I don't know who she will marry in the future."

Zhang Xuejiao always felt that there was something in her words, so she blocked it from the source: "Women don't have to get married."

"Nonsense!" Liu Huifang put the dishes on the plate: "You cook the fish first."

Lin Zhiyuan's act of wiping the table fell into Zhang Jianguo's eyes, and it became a show of his deliberate flattery.

"Will!"

Zhang Jianguo moved the cannon one step to the right.

Lin Aimin flew away the elephant calmly.

Zhang Jianguo glanced at Lin Zhiyuan: "Your son is very diligent."

Lin Aimin's eyes were still on the chessboard: "In the future, if you have a place to employ someone, just call him."

"I have an apprentice, what do you want your son to do?"

Lin Aimin raised her head: "Didn't we agree to ignore the younger generation's affairs? Who does Xiaoxue like and choose, you can't be a hindrance."

Zhang Jianguo waved his hand and disturbed the chessboard: "No more."

"You, you."

Lin Aimin picked up the chess piece with a smile, and put it in the box next to it: "Xiaoxue is a smart child, you have to trust her vision."

The more Zhang Jianguo looked at Lin Zhiyuan, the more he disliked him, as if Lin Zhiyuan would run away with Zhang Xuejiao in the next second.

Although Zhang Xuejiao is already 28, in Zhang Jianguo's eyes, she is still a little girl, and she is not in a hurry to get married and have children.

Lin Aimin put away the chess pieces, looked up at the ceiling: "Xiaoyu must have married earlier than Xiaoxue, you are not worried about Xiaoyu, why are you always staring at my Xiaoyuan?"

It's okay not to mention it, but Zhang Jianguo is depressed when he mentions it.

Last night he chatted with Liu Huifang, talking about Zhang Yuqiao not coming home at night, he firmly believed that the good daughter must be staying at his sister's house, but Liu Fanghui said that Xiao Yu was definitely not there.

The two almost quarreled over this, which alarmed Wang Xiangmei.

Liu Huifang stopped him with one sentence: "When you were young, you lied to me to your dormitory all day long, have you forgotten?"

Zhang Jianguo is a man, and Zhao Yang is also a man.

As a man, he naturally knows men best.

What's more, the current social atmosphere is much more open than when Zhang Jianguo was young.

There are some things that everyone knows, even though they don't talk about it.

When it came to the end, Liu Huifang began to worry about Zhang Xuejiao again, thinking that she was almost 30 years old and refused to fall in love all the time, maybe there was something wrong with her body or spirit.

Zhang Jianguo refuted a few words at the beginning, and Liu Huifang cited several examples, such as the youngest daughter of so-and-so's family, who was hit hard after falling out of love and became mentally disturbed.

The eldest daughter of so-and-so's family, she was urged not to get married, and it was only later that she found out that she liked girls.

Every character has a name and a surname, and the story is well-written. In the end, Zhang Jianguo began to feel worried when he heard it.

It's just that he was born with a rough nerve, and he forgot it when he woke up.

Now thinking about Lin Aimin's words, I suddenly felt that it would be good for Lin Zhiyuan to talk to Zhang Xuejiao, at least to confirm that she still likes men.

As for physical or mental problems, when the time comes to see the progress between the two, we should be able to judge that they are almost the same.

The more Zhang Jianguo thought about it, the more he felt that it was good, and immediately changed his attitude: "You let Xiaoyuan chase Xiaoxue at ease, and I will never interfere."
