90s Little Struggle

Chapter 24 Friendship
Before Xiao Hong could get mad, Xiao Fang spoke first: "Congratulations uncle, when did you change from deputy director to director, aunt didn't tell us about the promotion?"

During the years she was studying in the town, she had also heard about some affairs of her little uncle.

Later, I found that the way he looked at his mother was wrong, and the way he looked at himself made me sick.

So Xiao Fang was very indifferent to him.

She wasn't an enthusiastic person anyway, and no one suspected anything.

But now seeing his wretched eyes staring at Xiao Hong, she couldn't take it anymore, wishing to drive him out with a broom.

When Yao Guangrong heard Xiao Fang's poignant words, the smile on his face disappeared.

Although he is the deputy director, what he hates the most is people reminding him that he is a deputy and not a righteous one.

He thought it was because Xiao Fang didn't give him face.

He secretly scolded her for being a high-spirited loser, thinking that among the people he knew, there were people who liked such a temperament, and he was already thinking about how to use Xiao Fang to get himself promoted.

"Thank you for your good words!" He said with a half-smile: "Recently, it is really possible to become a regular."

And you are the key to whether I can get rid of the vice.

After speaking, he turned and left the kitchen.

Not long after, Uncle Zhao's couple came over with their son, twenty eggs, and a piece of pink fabric with floral patterns.

The eldest daughter of the family got married last year, and the second daughter refused to study before graduating from junior high school. After that, she asked Yao Guangrong, a younger uncle, to help her work as a car operator in a towel factory.

Now is not the time after [-] when private enterprises are blooming everywhere.

It's just that their place is remote and there are few business units, so if you want to work part-time, you have to rely on favors.

So Uncle Zhao held Yao Guangrong.

Zhao Erbo's family of four also came, also bringing twenty eggs and a piece of blue cloth.

The second aunt may be because she gave birth to two sons, and she is very confident in the face of this little sister-in-law who can't give birth to a son.

After she came in and looked at Xiao Hong for a while, she smiled heartily: "Oh, brother and sister, your family is really full of yin and yang right now."

"But you are a handsome girl, so you don't have to worry about not getting married in the future."

She doesn't need others to agree, she can continue to talk non-stop: "Julan, I used to dislike you for not having a son, but now I see that the two boys in my family are getting married, and the woman will ring three times when she speaks. It's really sad."

"Thinking about it this way, it's pretty good to have a daughter like you. Seeing that your eldest daughter is already this old, she will be able to marry after two years of raising her. You can still receive some dowry. It's not a loss..."

Wu Julan was afraid that Xiao Hong's face would turn red again when she heard this, so she blushed in embarrassment: "Second sister-in-law, stop talking, Xiao Hong is young and thin-skinned?"

She knew that only food could stop her mouth, so she quickly handed her a few biscuits: "Second sister-in-law, try this."

In the past, Xiao Hong would be unhappy about being judged, but now Xiao Hong will not be angry because of these words.

When others looked at her, she was still looking at them.

The eldest aunt was tall and thin, with obvious nasolabial folds on her dark and thin face, but it was obvious that there was something alive in her eyes, and she went straight to the stove to light the fire when she entered the door.

The second aunt is of medium height, with fair skin and a little fat. She doesn't know if she can't speak or if she doesn't need to worry about them.

After the sun goes down, the afterglow still illuminates the space between heaven and earth.

Old man Zhao also came over with the third child.

He was wearing a gray old man with holes in it, and a pair of dark blue polyester calbu pants with rolled-up trousers and cloth shoes. He sat on a bench in the yard without talking when he came in.

Zhao Laosan limped his right leg. When walking, he had to protect his right leg with his hand, so this posture was rather weird.

After being reminded by her mother, Xiao Hong went out with a smile on her face, pretending to be well-behaved and sensible, and shouted: "Hello, grandpa, hello third uncle, please sit down first, and the food will be served soon."

The old man Zhao looked at Xiao Hong twice, then hummed, took out a red paper bag from his pocket and handed it to her: "I will live a good life in Zhao's house from now on, I'll take this to buy candy for you."

Xiao Hong glanced at Wu Julan and saw her nodding, so she dared to accept the red paper bag, and smiled even sweeter: "Thank you, Grandpa."

There is an Eight Immortals table and a small square table at home, the table is enough, and Zhao Laosi brought a few chairs from his mother, so that the big guys can sit down.

When the delicious food was served, everyone stopped chatting and gossiping, and started to eat with chopsticks.

Five of the Zhao family's father and son, plus Grandma Zhao, sister-in-law and uncle, and the two grandsons of the Zhao family were all sitting at the Eight Immortals table. Ten people sat at the same table even if they were a little crowded.

On the side of the small square table are Wu Julan, two sister-in-laws, three daughters, a niece, and Zhao Junjie, who is too young to drink. Eight people are a bit crowded.

The second aunt had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and wolfed down several pieces of braised pork before she had time to talk: "Sister and sister, today's roast meat is delicious."

After finishing speaking, he couldn't wait to pick chicken to eat, and said in a low voice: "I saw our mother-in-law kill chickens before, but I didn't expect her to treat Xiao Hong so well? Be careful, I'm afraid our mother-in-law's chicken is not that good food."

Anyway, in her heart, her mother-in-law was very picky, and it was only during the Chinese New Year that she was willing to cook such a decent table of meals.

But the good food for Chinese New Year is to hope that next year will be richer than this year.

Now the second aunt wonders if her mother-in-law has the same idea as herself, thinks that Xiao Hong looks good, and wants to keep the fat and water out of the field.

Doesn't the old saying always say that you can't bear children and can't catch wolves?

She felt that her mother-in-law was more willing than herself, and she was already thinking about going to tell her natal sister-in-law one day, asking her to come and see people, and if she was satisfied, she would hurry up and let the younger ones meet.

Wu Julan smiled: "Second sister-in-law, eat more."

The second sister-in-law gave birth to two sons, and her mother-in-law was much more polite to her on weekdays, anyway, she didn't dare to go along with her second sister-in-law's words.

The eldest aunt was very kind to smooth things over: "Today's dishes are all hard dishes, let's eat more."

After finishing speaking, he didn't forget to put a large piece of chicken into his son's bowl.

Yao Ruqing, who was sitting across from her, curled her lips in distaste, thinking that they were really country bumpkins, and such a little meat could make them so rare.

She loves to be beautiful now, mainly because she feels a little fat, even if she is greedy, she dare not eat too much meat.

She is 17 years old this year and is also a sophomore in high school. She thinks that she has good grades and a good family, so she has some hazy thoughts about male classmates.

However, that male classmate, whenever he had time, went to Xiao Fang's side to show courteousness, which capsized the boat of friendship between her and Xiao Fang.

Yao Ruqing felt that she was better than Xiao Fang in everything, just the same, she was not as thin as Xiao Fang.

So she took advantage of the summer vacation to start losing weight, and vowed to impress her male classmates when school started.
