good old days

Chapter 702 Knowing the truth
Every New Year is busy. Business is so good at the end of the year. Wang Sumei is busy in the store, and Chen Xiuyun is frying things at home to prepare New Year goods.

Jiang Xinyu was tutoring high school students in the study room as the oil smelled fragrant. Several high school students gulped when they smelled the aroma.

They were not greedy, they were already hungry after studying all morning, and looking at the books in front of them made them even hungrier.

After the wait was over, Jiang Xinyu brought a bowl of her mother's fried meatballs into the study room, and they all finished it in a short time.

"Don't forget to write your homework. I'll check it next time. Gu Bowen, your English foundation is too poor. You have to memorize more words every day. Next time you come, I will check yours alone."

Gu Bowen responded weakly to Jiang Xinyu's words, and also felt weak when packing his schoolbag.

Jiang Xinyu had a headache for this classmate Gu.

Chen Jinhua's last batch of tutors for her were very obedient and motivated. Their college entrance examination results did not disappoint the family, and they also made Jiang Xinyu look good.

Jiang Xinyu's tutoring fee has increased to fifteen per month for a single person.

Among the few people sent here, Gu Bowen's mind was not on studying at all. He seemed to be boneless every day, unable to sit up, his eyes were dull, and he did not focus on his books.

She was afraid that her reputation would fall into Gu Bowen's hands.

She felt that Gu Bowen should be thrown into the military camp to train and train his energy to do other things to be more efficient.

Several students politely went to the kitchen to say goodbye to Chen Xiuyun. Chen Xiuyun looked at the leaving figures and turned back to ask Jiang Xinyu: "Where did you find these students?"

Jiang Xinyu didn't understand what she meant, "What's wrong? What's the problem with these people?"

Chen Xiuyun: "It's no problem. Who can afford a tutoring fee of fifteen a month? These students don't look like children from poor families."

The clothes on his body are all 80% new, without a single patch. Judging from his appearance, you can tell that he is a child who grew up in the city.

Jiang Xinyu replied casually, using paper to wipe the mouth of the child whose mouth was full of oil after eating meatballs.

"Senior Jiang..."

There was a knock on the courtyard door, and Wen Yin poked her face in from the outside with a smile on her face.

"come on in."

Jiang Xinyu estimated that she was here to pay back the money.

"How is your mother?"

Wen Yin smiled and said, "It's much better than before."

It's true that it's much better than before, but I have to take imported medicine regularly, and the cost is still quite high.

Without saying anything else, she took out money and a packet of peanut brown sugar cookies from her pocket.

"My mother made the snacks herself. Let me bring them to you to try. Senior Jiang, thank you."

Jiang Xinyu didn't refuse and simply accepted.

The two talked for a while, and Wen Yin changed the topic and mentioned Chang Zhenzhen, "Senior sister, my cousin is back and is still at home. She is in a bad state."

It's almost February, and foreign universities have started their semester. Chang Zhenzhen hasn't left yet?
"What's up with her?"

Wen Yin shook her head: "I'm not sure. I heard from my sister-in-law that her grades are not ideal and she can't keep up with the progress. She may not go there in the future."

Jiang Xinyu looked at her and said, "As far as I know, her grades were not good to begin with. Logically speaking, since she was admitted to Huaqing, her learning ability should not be that bad."

Wen Yin lowered her head and clasped her hands, her eyes wandering, "Maybe it's not the right major."

Jiang Xinyu smiled and said nothing more.

With Chang Zhenzhen's level, it's not surprising that he couldn't keep up after going abroad, but no matter what, he should have studied for one year, right?

If she does not complete the courses she took while studying abroad, will she take courses one semester later than students of the same level when she comes back? But it's none of her business.

In the past few days, Chen Xiuyun has steamed red date steamed buns, fried fish, meatballs, radish balls, sesame leaves, and steamed buns...

It's cold, so I don't have to worry about things breaking.

Chen Xiuyun was worried that Wang Sumei would have a grudge against her coming to celebrate the New Year, so she simply prepared everything for the New Year.

"Your mother-in-law is really not unhappy, is she? I feel a little regretful now. How could my own mother come to celebrate the New Year with my daughter-in-law? She stayed there for such a long time."

Jiang Xinyu: "Put your heart back in your stomach. My mother-in-law is not an ordinary person. She bought the sofa chair in the house where you live specially for you."

In the village, the third day of the Lunar New Year is the day when married girls return to their parents' homes. Girls will not stay at their parents' homes overnight during the Chinese New Year, especially on the fifteenth day. It is said that it is not good for the married girls to live in their parents' homes.

Jiang Xinyu didn't know where these claims came from. She thought they were completely nonsense.

It seems that no real mother from the mother-in-law's family follows her daughter to her husband's house to celebrate the New Year. Jiang Xinyu doesn't know what the explanation is, but even if there is any explanation, she won't care.

There are taboos about this and that every day, and every restriction has to be overcome by the girl.

"You can live here with peace of mind. If you didn't have to go back to work, I would still want you to live here."

Chen Xiuyun said with a smile: "How can it be like this?"

After talking for a while, she asked again: "Why did Xiaochuan offend you?"

Jiang Xinyu fooled her again.

It was better to wait until the New Year and before she left to talk about such a disappointing topic, otherwise she wasn't sure whether her mother would be able to eat.

If her mother knew what Xiaochuan had done, wouldn't she be heartbroken?
Chen Xiuyun muttered: "I'm here by myself, and I don't know how the father and mother at home are doing."

Jiang Xinyu said casually: "How else can we live like this? We don't need anything and we can celebrate the New Year happily."

She felt that Xiaochuan couldn't be happy.

After all, she took Chen Xiuyun away, and he didn't know what kind of storm he would face when Chen Xiuyun returned.

You must be nervous and scared, right?
Can what he has done be revealed by knowing his mistakes? She didn't have much emotion for him, and when she found out, her heart dropped. Where was her mother? Where is Uncle Zhou? What he wanted to harm was their children!

In the courtyard of the chemical plant family.

Except for Zhou Shunyi's family, every household around is celebrating the New Year happily.

It was dark, there were no lights on in the house, and there was no smell of any food.

At this time, Zhou Shunyi was lying on the bedside and looking at the roof silently, with mixed emotions in his heart caused by the young man living next door.

Next door, Xiaochuan was crying silently in bed with his head covered with a quilt.

This was the second night after Zhou Shunyi learned the truth.

He didn't sleep all night yesterday, and he didn't prepare any meals for Xiaochuan during the day.

Whenever he thought about what happened that night, he couldn't close his eyes or eat anything.

In the past, he would never have thought of deliberately pouring water on the steps and freezing them into ice just to harm others. After all, Xiaochuan was usually very sensible, had a bright eye, knew he felt sorry for his mother, was motivated in his studies, and would take care of housework. This was done to relieve Chen Xiuyun's burden.

What a good kid this is? He dared to say that this child was better than anyone else's children.

But just because he was worried that they would not want him if they had a biological child, he had such terrible thoughts.

Isn’t the human heart made of flesh? How did he do it?
