The happiness of rebirth is knocking on the door

Chapter 23

It's rare for my mother to be loose throughout the year, so I'd better take this opportunity to let her have a good rest and move away when I have a chance.

If you don’t watch TV, having a lot of free time is actually very boring. You usually have to do farm work, and everyone has a rest during the Chinese New Year. Even if you talk, there will be a day when you finish talking. Playing is not fun.

My mother told me not to study in the first day of junior high school, and I was not allowed to use scissors, needles and threads until fifteen years ago.But it’s fine not to do needlework, but not to read books. The TV programs on the first day of junior high school basically repeat the Spring Festival Gala. I really don’t know what to do.Sometimes it's not because I love reading, but because I don't know what to do besides reading.

My mother just said that I won't let me study anymore, or I can find a novel to read by myself?After thinking about it, the novels I can find now are martial arts novels and romance novels. The romance novels are called Karen, which is far worse than Qiong Yao’s. ?

Martial arts novels are read by men, but they are very few. Most of them are borrowed by people in the village, and they are returned after reading.For a book, it is often difficult for one person to read it and others are waiting in line, so it is difficult to borrow it.

Speaking of martial arts novels, has the 83 edition of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" been broadcast?I just remember that it was about this time.When it was broadcast, not to mention the empty streets, it was almost the same.Later, I heard people say that many junior high school students secretly missed their evening self-study, just to watch TV dramas.The windows of the house near the school were all smashed, because there were so many people, many people couldn't squeeze in, and it was convenient for them to lean on the windows to see.

That was the best shot of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". Even though the technology improved later and the picture was beautiful, it didn't have the charm of that version, just like the old version of "Dream of Red Mansions".

Among them, Weng Meiling and Huang Rihua are the most famous, and their pictorials and stickers are very popular. If they don't broadcast it, can they make a small profit?

Now tofu can no longer be sold, it has no technical content, and several companies around have begun to sell this. I am small and have no time, so I can't compete with others.

There is also a small store in the village in the east of the family, but it is not impossible to make money. The key is that my mother is too soft-hearted.It turned out that when the canteen was not open, other people came and borrowed money in small ways, but it often ended up being nothing.

Now that there is a commissary, some have the cheek to say that they have no money at hand, so they hang up the account first, return it later, and then take the things away.Mom can't save face, and in the end there will always be a part that can't be chased back.In this way, it is only barely maintaining some profits, and it takes a lot of energy.

It would be good to move to the town. There is a lot of traffic, and my village is small. There are only a few people my mother knows and loves to take advantage of. Overall, it is better than now.

Dad's business is naturally a big one, and it will gradually get better and better, but Li Xiaohong feels that there are also big hidden dangers, so I don't know if there will be any accidents.

Thinking about it, I can't help feeling a little impetuous.Tell yourself to "every time there is a big event, be calm", take a deep breath and exhale, and slowly calm down.It doesn't matter, it's still early, hasn't life at home changed a lot now?It will get better and better in the future.

Time passed in such wild thoughts, but after thinking about it, the road to the future became clearer.

At noon, my father cooked the meal, and the family happily celebrated the first day of the new year.

In the second day of junior high school, the two aunts took their children back and forth to their natal home.Zhang Meiying cooked a few cold dishes, and as usual, cooked a pot of stewed dishes to entertain the guests.When leaving, let everyone take away a large jar of lard.

In the third day of junior high school, it was Li Xiaohong's turn to go to her grandma's house.

Li Xiaohong looked at the gifts prepared by her mother, how come every family is the same?Grandma followed the second uncle, and usually her family went to the second uncle's house for dinner.Although Erjin never cared about it, but with grandma accompanying her, she should be more polite.

"Mom, how can the gift you plan to give to grandma's family be the same as that of other families?"

"Don't say anything. On the surface, I prepare the same for my relatives, otherwise your eldest sister-in-law will be unhappy. But usually when I only go to your grandma's house, I bring a lot of things to see your grandma, your second sister-in-law He is a sensible person and will not have any opinions.”

It turned out that my mother had her own plans in her heart, and she was worrying for nothing.In the previous life, the second concubine was the best friend with her mother, and presumably she also had her mother's survival wisdom in it.

Because there are many relatives and grandpa's brother, Li Xiaohong called the second grandpa's big family. When returning to her mother's house, her parents pulled a shelf cart, and the road was not far away, so they put all the things they wanted to bring on it.

At this time, it is enough for every family to visit relatives to take two packs of dim sum. What is even more stingy is to wait for other people's homes to come and take the gifts they received before visiting other relatives.Just exchange the gifts in this way, and you basically don't need to buy new ones.

In previous years, Li Xiaohong's family received relatives who came to her house late, and the snacks inside were broken.Relatives usually come before noon and lunch time. Sometimes they come to several houses at a time, and it is not clear who brought them.

However, Zhang Meiying never allowed such snacks to be taken to other people's homes, and they were all thrown away.

Also considering the truth, my mother didn't increase the gift in the end, otherwise how would I let people return it.That is to say, in addition to the two packs of snacks, a bag of apples is added, which is only considered as a food for relatives’ children or elderly people, and it is not included in the gifts for visiting relatives.

When she arrived at her grandma's house, she unloaded her things, and without saying a few words, Zhang Meiying was going to take her eldest daughter to give gifts to other relatives first.

Fortunately, the houses were all close together, and it didn't take long to go around. Li Xiaohong also received some big and small red envelopes, and naturally her mother also gave out a lot.Declining the invitation of relatives to stay for dinner, they returned to grandma's house.

This time I'm going to Uncle Li Xiaohong's house.Zhang Meiying was still carrying the apples, Li Xiaohong was carrying the snacks, and Li Xiaolu was only playing with his father and didn't make trouble with them.

When I arrived at my uncle's house, my sister-in-law greeted him enthusiastically, smiling like a spring breeze.

After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, Da Jin said, "Mei Ying, you see Xiao Hong is so competitive. She studies well, and I heard that she won a prize from the county. You have to let her continue to study hard."

Speaking of her daughter, Zhang Meiying is naturally very proud: "Yes, I couldn't go to school at that time. As long as their sisters are willing to learn, I will naturally support them all the time."

"It's not easy to provide for a student. When the time comes, there will be no money for tuition, miscellaneous fees or textbook fees. You say you have worked so hard, so don't get tired."

"Isn't that the case in our farm family? Everyone does it. It's okay if you get used to it."

"You, I don't feel sorry for myself, but my sister-in-law does. Let him help you."

Isn't Jia Wang the elder brother who was adopted by him in the previous life?Li Xiaohong pretended not to be interested, and found a book at Jinzi's house to read, but her mind was actually on their conversation.

"Jiawang?" My mother said with some concerns.

I only saw Da Jin leaning forward, and said with concern on her face: "Yes, you know Jia Wang, he has always been diligent and filial, and he is also a great labor force. If there is any heavy work, just ask him to do it." Fuck, you are her aunt, and he would never disobey. If it weren't for the situation in our family, the three sons, each of whom would marry a wife to build a house, I would really hate him to go outside. But following you, I will There is nothing to worry about, just let him take your place, lest others gossip about you."

Li Xiaohong never knew that Dajin was able to speak like this.

"Sister-in-law, I meant to think about it that time, but Zhijun was afraid that the influence would be too great. He is a director anyway. We have two children now, so what's the matter with another one? Besides, I don't have the heart to let You two are separated."

"It's not like you are reincarnated on your own, others can take care of it. Besides, we are not far away, and it only takes ten minutes to come here."

Li Xiaohong was anxious, afraid that her mother would soften her heart and agree.

"I also know that Jiawang is a capable child, but Zhijun's work can't be ignored. Now that the city requires only one child, it's really bad to be influenced by outsiders."

"Look, this child Jiawang really loves you as an aunt. He usually says that he will take good care of you when you get old."

"I also like Jiawang very much, but as you said, sister-in-law, the two families are so close, what's wrong with me, my eldest nephew won't come to help? The nephew of my mother's family is not only Jiawang , the other two nephews were also raised by me, and Jia Qi and Jia Lin are all my backing?"

Li Xiaohong silently praised her mother in her heart.

When she finally came out, Li Xiaohong looked at Dajin's face, which seemed to have turned darker. Anyway, she was already dark, and it would not be obvious if she was darker.

Back at grandma's house, Li Zhijun gave her a wink, and Zhang Meiying nodded.

Satisfied, Li Zhijun put his little daughter on his neck and went riding a horse.

He was originally unwilling to adopt the son of his brother-in-law's family. The brother-in-law was okay, but his wife was always sweet and bitter.Generally, the eldest son supports his parents in the family. His brother-in-law did not support the family, but no one said he was bad. This made him think highly of that sister-in-law's ability.

Besides, her son is already so old, and his personality has been developed, so it is not easy to correct any problems in the past.

The most important thing is that the two families are close to each other. The adopted son still looks after his biological mother. He is not at home often, and Mei Ying is soft-hearted. It is hard to say that he will live well in the future.As for the son, he is not destined to ask for it. He has seen a lot, so he doesn't really care about it.One of his comrades took care of his mother-in-law at home.He didn't believe it anymore, his daughter was so good, finding a son-in-law in the future would prevent him and his wife from supporting the elderly.

I couldn't help but say that Li Zhijun got the truth.Adoption in the previous life was strongly requested by Zhang Meiying. At that time, her daughter was not good at studying, and she did not welcome her brother as much as she is now. gas.

Li Xiaohong felt a lot more relaxed after solving this important matter. In this life, he will never take advantage of that white-eyed wolf again.

People talk about the return of investment. In the previous life, he and his sister were of average qualifications. Maybe Zhang Jiawang felt that he was too disadvantaged and kept working to support their sisters. So in the end, before she graduated, the child would not leave until he was two years old.

I never thought that if he was in his own home, he would live like him.Like his second brother, the elder brother finally found a wife with great difficulty, and he was a little dazed.Unlike him, his mother married him a handsome woman who was rarely seen in the surrounding countryside. Her skin was as white as snow, which was in stark contrast to his blackness.

His second brother's house was not built at all, and in the end he lived in the second sister's house.In this life, bridges return to bridges, and roads return to roads. How they live, each struggles according to his own ability.

"We didn't want Jiawang, do you think Hong is particularly happy?"

"No, don't underestimate our daughter. She knows in her heart that she doesn't want her brother in the first place, and she also said that she will provide for us in the future."

"I just feel weird in my heart. I'm a little sorry for my brother. I said this before, but now I regret it."

"Don't think about it, it wasn't decided at first, but you had a little intention of it at the time. Besides, when you didn't help his family, when you gave New Year's money, as long as they were not married, everyone would have it, and you would give more. .There was only one child in our family, so we only gave two yuan.”

"Okay, let's not talk about it, I still want to continue the incense for your old Zhang family, you don't care about it."

"I've figured it out. A person's death is like a lamp going out. It doesn't matter what happens after he dies. Just live a good life. I don't know how many seniors in my original army died on the battlefield, and some of them couldn't even find their bodies. Yes. With that money, it is better than anything else to train her two sisters well."

"Okay, anyway, you are satisfied this time."

Overhearing what her parents said secretly, Li Xiaohong gave her father a thumbs up in her heart this time.
