struggle in a small town

Chapter 6 You apologize to me

When Zhang Xuejiao came back, dinner was almost ready.

She held a big cake and apologized again and again: "Grandma, the cake was ordered late, so don't be angry~"

"Just come back, just come back." Wang Xiangmei patted the seat next to her: "Come, sit with grandma."

Zhang Xuejiao looked at Zhang Jianguo next to the empty seat, and knew that it was reserved for Liu Huifang, and also knew that her family wanted her to reconcile with Liu Huifang, but she refused: "I will sit with Xiaoyu."

It wasn't that she was narrow-minded and insisted on getting angry with Liu Huifang, but those comics were bought from bookstores one by one when she lived frugally when she was a student.

At that time, she was working in Shanghai, and it was inconvenient to carry it with her, so she put it in the storage room at home.

Unexpectedly, Liu Huifang didn't even say hello, and just gave it away casually.

If she hadn't looked through it on a whim, she wouldn't have found it.

Through this incident, she remembered the beautiful dresses she liked when she was a child, the snacks she secretly saved, and the toys her uncle bought. They were always given to other children by Liu Huifang, never caring whether she was happy or not.

It's like she was picked up!
The more you think, the more angry you become!
Song Xiuni came over with a plate of dishes: "Xiaoxue is back?"

"Auntie~" Zhang Xuejiao greeted her, "I'll come."

"Your mother is in the kitchen."

Zhang Xuejiao didn't answer, and put the dishes on the big round table: "I'm going to wash my hands, and call Xiaoyu to eat by the way."

Just halfway up the stairs, Zhang Yuqiao and Luo Yunlong came down together.

"Sister~" Zhang Yuqiao quickly walked to her side: "I forgot to give you a gift yesterday, remember to remind me later."

Luo Yunlong greeted her: "Eldest sister."

Zhang Xuejiao looked Luo Yunlong up and down: "You seem to be taller again!"

"186."

"My God." Zhang Xuejiao teased in an exaggerated tone: "Tell me about a short person like me who is less than 1.7 meters high, is the air up there fresher?"

Luo Yunlong laughed out loud: "The air is not clear, but the line of sight is unobstructed anyway."

After dinner, the family sat down around the big round table.

The juniors sent auspicious words one after another, coaxing Wang Xiangmei to smile, her whole face was like a blooming chrysanthemum.

While eating, Liu Huifang gave Song Xiuni a wink: "Xiao Nier, I heard that Xiao Yuan is back?"

Song Xiuni understood in seconds: "I came back yesterday."

"Then Xiaoyuan didn't say anything, what plans does he have in the future?"

"I didn't ask." Song Xiuni said and looked at Zhang Xuejiao: "Xiao Xue, what good opportunity do you have, please introduce it to Xiao Yuan."

Zhang Xuejiao didn't expect that there was something about her, so she quickly swallowed the food in her mouth: "What? Oh, okay."

"Do you remember Xiao Yuan? You two played together when you were young."

Zhang Xuejiao silently rolled her eyes in her heart, how could she not remember!
When she was 8 years old, she visited Song Xiuni's house with her parents.

It happened that Lin Zhiyuan passed the No.1 exam, and Lin Aimin rewarded him with a Xiaobawang game console.

All children like new things, and Zhang Xuejiao is no exception.

But the first time she came into contact with her, she played very poorly, and Lin Zhiyuan complained severely: "You are so stupid, you are stupider than a pig."

Since then, Zhang Xuejiao has never said a word to him, and she has never been to his house again.

Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and she still clearly remembers that the game she played that day was Red Fortress.

One can imagine how much Lin Zhiyuan hurt her.

Keeping grudges is all about grudges, and in front of so many people, she had to pretend: "Auntie, I haven't seen you for more than ten years, I really don't remember."

"It's okay if you don't remember, I'll let Xiaoyuan come to play with you another day."

Zhang Xuejiao replied perfunctorily: "Okay, let him call me when the time comes, and I'll take him around when I'm free."

Song Xiuni just thought she agreed and smiled contentedly.

After dinner, Zhang Yuqiao took her younger siblings upstairs to play.

Zhang Xuejiao consciously cleared the table, Luo Yunlong also came to help, and asked casually, "Sister, how much did you pay for the house?"

"Including renovations, it's almost 65."

Liu Jianye, who was sitting and chatting, was surprised when he heard this: "How big is the area so expensive?"

"The construction area is 136."

Liu Jianye went through it in his head, but couldn't figure out the unit price: "How much is a flat?"

"3500."

"It's too expensive!" Liu Jianye said and looked at Zhang Jianguo: "Brother-in-law, you have to take care of it, Xiaoxue is just wasting money."

Zhang Xuejiao doesn't like to hear these words: "The money I earn myself, I can spend wherever I like. Besides, my community is in the city center, surrounded by six shopping malls, diagonally across from a chain supermarket, hospitals, primary schools, and middle schools. Yes. This environment is placed in a big city, a proper CBD."

Liu Jianye retorted: "Young people are easy to be deceived. The newly opened real estate in the east is 1700 square meters, which is half less than yours."

Zhang Xuejiao rolled his eyes at him, and went to the kitchen with the dishes.

On the east side, why don't you say that there is not even a big supermarket in the east, let alone a shopping mall.

Where I live, it takes only 10 minutes to walk to the store.

If you move to the east, you will have to ride a bicycle for half an hour.

Wouldn't it be nice to have a good night's sleep?
Liu Jianye rolled his eyes and complained to Wang Xiangmei: "Mom, look at Xiaoxue and stare at me. I loved her for nothing when I was a child."

Wang Xiangmei just laughed and didn't help anyone.

Liu Huifang was picking up the leftovers, when she saw Zhang Xuejiao coming in, she turned her face away.

Song Xiuni just thought it was funny, and went out with a rag, leaving room for the mother and daughter to talk.

Zhang Xuejiao put the dishes into the sink, turned around and left.

Liu Huifang was so angry that she finally came back and didn't even call her mother.

"You stop for me!"

Zhang Xuejiao left without stopping.

Liu Huifang threw the chopsticks in her hand angrily: "Zhang Xuejiao, your wings are stiff, aren't they?"

Luo Yunlong standing at the door was very embarrassed, can he still go in?

Liu Huifang complained: "Xiaoxue is mad at me."

Luo Yunlong could only smile sarcastically, not daring to say anything.

The second time Zhang Xuejiao came over with a bowl, Liu Huifang glared at her: "Why, you don't plan to reconcile with me in this life?"

"You apologize to me, and I will make up with you."

"You asked me to apologize to you?" Liu Huifang became even angrier: "How can a mother apologize to a child?"

Zhang Xuejiao put down the dishes: "You are the wrongdoer, and I am the victim. You apologize to the victim, what's the problem?"

"quibble!"

Zhang Xuejiao walked out: "It's a good thing you met my dad. With your temper, no one can stand you."

"What are you talking about!"

Zhang Xuejiao came to the living room and picked up her bag: "Grandma, Dad, I have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

Zhang Jianguo must not let her go, so he hurriedly asked her to stay: "I haven't eaten the birthday cake yet."

"You guys eat, I really have something to do."

Liu Huifang came out of the kitchen and said angrily, "Let her go!"

Zhang Xuejiao changed her mind, turned around and went to the second floor: "Hey~ If you tell me to go, I won't go, hum!"

Liu Huifang turned to her back: "I'll clean you up after I'm done."

Song Xiuni hurried over to persuade her: "The child is getting older, you have to take care of her mood."

"Why doesn't she care about my mood?" Liu Huifang complained, "And asked me to apologize to her, no big or small."
