Urban Hidden Dragon

Chapter 257
After the two women entered the kitchen, the eldest brother explained, "Xiaodong, your sister-in-law is just like that, she speaks her heart straight, don't take it to heart."

Zhao Dong blushed, "Brother, where did you say you went?"

In fact, he himself felt a little embarrassed about this.

His mother loved him very much since he was a child. Basically, he would let him come to the house for any delicious and fun things, and the eldest brother would not compete with him.

The same was true when the two brothers grew up. At that time, the family was in trouble. In order for him to finish his studies smoothly, his mother asked the elder brother to drop out of school and work early, and the elder brother agreed without saying a word.

Because there is no education, it is difficult to find a good job, but the mother is unwilling to ask for help, so the eldest brother has not had a good life these years.

In Zhao Dong's memory, the only time his mother begged for help seemed to be because of his service as a soldier.

His enlistment quota was squeezed out by a relative soldier of the leader's family, and his mother stayed up all night.

At that time, there was a wine cabinet at home, which was full of treasures that my father had treasured when he was alive, and the two brothers would not let them touch it.

That day, my mother took out two bottles of wine for the first time, but the next day, his enlistment into the army was settled.

Although the mother never explained it afterwards, both brothers understood that the mother opened her mouth and begged someone that time.

It is true that he owes his mother, but if it is said that he owes it, Zhao Dong feels that it is the elder brother who owes the most.

However, the eldest brother never complained about these things. It can be said that apart from his mother, the eldest brother is the person he respects the most.

So, no matter what happens to his sister-in-law, Zhao Dong won't take it to heart.

What's more, he also understands that sister-in-law is not bad, but her mouth is a little fast.

It's nothing major, once he is bullied, he will definitely help this little uncle.

But he likes to care about small things, but he doesn't have any malice.

Over the years, Zhao Dong has always had a regret that he has no ability or ability to properly compensate his eldest brother and sister-in-law.

The eldest brother was in a good mood, and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, come back today after a long time, and have a good drink with me!"

Zhao Dong agreed, "Good!"

The food was served quickly, and the two brothers exchanged cups.

During the dinner, the sister-in-law suddenly opened her mouth, "Mom, I want to tell you something."

Zhao's mother said calmly: "You say."

The elder brother coughed.

The sister-in-law pretended not to hear, and continued: "In a few months, Xiaoman will be promoted to the junior high school exam."

Hearing his sister-in-law mention Xiaoman, Zhao Dong cheered up a bit.

This nephew is very much like when he was a child, he was naughty, he didn't like to study, he was mischievous all day long, and he was registered in school.

However, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are strict with him, so the relationship between the two is very good.

Whenever the school finds parents and suffers criticism, if he is at home, Xiao Man will definitely find him to deal with it.

The last time Sophie came over, Zhao Dong wanted to introduce her, but the kid went off somewhere, and it didn't work out.

Mother Zhao frowned, "Could it be that he still can't get into junior high school?"

The sister-in-law has a headache when she mentions her son, otherwise she wouldn't open her mouth like this, "Mom, you know that Xiaoman has been fond of sports since he was a child, and now there are sports students recommended by the school. This opportunity is rare!"

"Guide?"

"That's right, with that quota, you can be guaranteed admission to No. 48 High School! Our ** District is just such a good key school. If Xiaoman is allowed to take the exam, he will not be able to get in even if he is exhausted!"

"Then just apply directly? Doesn't Xiaoman meet the requirements?"

Zhao Dong also found it strange that Xiaoman's sports performance is very good, especially in table tennis. He even won the championship of the junior group in the competition held in the ** area.

If there is such a place, then he must be qualified.

The sister-in-law was in a dilemma, "Hey, those parents are trying to get that spot right now."

Mother Zhao simply put down the bowls and chopsticks, "Say it directly."

Regardless of the elder brother's eyes, the sister-in-law simply said: "Mom, if I can apply, I won't open my mouth to you! This place is limited. Originally, with the conditions of our family Xiaoman, I would definitely be selected, but those who entrusted the relationship Parents squeezed out..."

Mother Zhao didn't speak, waiting for her next words.

The sister-in-law continued: "Mom, I heard from the boss that you met friends in the Education Bureau of ** District, can you..."

"Needless to say, I won't open my mouth like that."

The sister-in-law was stunned, "Why?"

"Then according to what you said, those children who failed to enter No. 48 middle school don't need to study anymore?"

"But……"

"There is nothing but, Xiaoman can get into the 48th middle school, that is his ability! If he learns to get something for nothing from an early age, what can he do in the future?"

Sister-in-law seldom contradicted her mother's intentions, and this time she rarely opened her mouth, "Mom, what you said is right, but we can't let him lose at the starting line!"

Zhao's mother disagreed, "If you can't get into the 48th high school, you will lose at the starting line? I don't think so! Xiaodong has never been in the key points. He still became a soldier and defended his family and country. Where did he lose at the starting line?"

The sister-in-law turned her head, "I don't care, anyway, I don't want Xiaoman to be like his father in the future!"

Mother Zhao's voice became colder, "His father, tell me what happened to his father?"

The eldest brother was about to interrupt, but he was still half a step too late.

Then I heard my sister-in-law wronged and said: "His father suffered from being uneducated. He didn't graduate from high school, and the leaders looked down on him! This time he was promoted to the factory. He obviously meets the requirements, and he is better than others in everything. It just happened to be brushed down!"

The eldest brother looked displeased, "Why are you mentioning this? Hurry down after eating!"

Mother Zhao interrupted, "You tell her to sit down, what do you want to say, just say it!"

The sister-in-law's eyes were red, "I just feel that you are biased. If this is Xiaodong's matter, you don't need to open your mouth. You will definitely deal with it immediately. When it's our turn, you can't even ask!"

After listening to Zhao's mother, she slapped the table hard.

Zhao Dong was stunned, it was rare to see his mother so angry, he hurried forward to persuade, "Mom, don't be angry, sister-in-law didn't mean that."

The eldest brother also stared at him, "What are you looking at, mom's illness is just right, why don't you hurry up and apologize to mom?"

Only then did the sister-in-law realize that her tone was too harsh, and hurriedly admitted her mistake, "Mom, I'm sorry, I..."

Zhao's mother breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiaodong is young, the boss let him, that's right, no one can fault him! As for the boss can't be a cadre, that's his own reason, don't make so many excuses! And , I don’t think there is any shame in being a worker!”

The sister-in-law was full of grievances and couldn't speak out, but she couldn't refute, so she didn't speak at all.

Zhao Dong was in an awkward situation and couldn't open his mouth easily.

The eldest brother continued to persuade, "Mom, don't be so angry that you break your body."

Mother Zhao nodded, and then signaled: "It happens that both of you are here, I have something to say, Boss, I will tidy up a room for me at your side later, and I want to move here."

The sister-in-law was dumbfounded. My mother had always lived with Xiaodong, so why did she suddenly move here?
