As soon as Aunt Zhang Fan said this, the whole space seemed to be frozen, and only a pot of old hens placed in the middle of the dining table was steaming hot.

"Ahem. ”

Uncle Zhang Youde coughed, sandwiched a chicken leg in Zhang Zhenzhen's bowl, and said in a loud voice: "Eat more, you work hard outside." ”

Then he glared sideways at his wife, and whispered: "Can't you talk about money after eating?" Every time I like to talk about this kind of thing during dinner, and it was the same last year, so everyone was unhappy at the New Year's dinner. ”

Then he looked at his son who was shaving, and there was a look of hatred on his face.

"I finally sent you to the city to study, but you didn't study, and you were with some indifferent guys every day, and this time something happened, right? Not to mention losing tens of thousands of dollars, I also received a demerit punishment. ”

Zhang Wenbin saw his father counting himself down in front of his uncle's family, and felt that he had no face on his face, so he said a word.

"It's not me who caused trouble first, it's people who bullied me first, I can't be bullied in vain, right?"

"You...... You...... And the face said, didn't you help your classmates get ahead first?"

Seeing that Zhang Wenbin actually dared to defend himself, Zhang Youde picked up the chopsticks in his hand and prepared to hit him.

Seeing him like this, Lu Jing hurriedly said to Liu Hongmei: "Sister-in-law, you can also say a word or two, what else can't be revealed during the New Year?"

Zhang Youwei also said on the side: "Wen Bin, this kid is not a person who takes the initiative to cause trouble, the matter will pass when it passes, and it is not interesting for you to keep saying this." ”

Zhang Youde let out a long sigh. "It's good that this bastard is half as sensible as his sister, but he still hasn't grown up worrying about him since he was a child. ”

However, the chopsticks raised in his hand were put down.

Liu Hongmei saw that her husband was so interrupted, and the matter of money was transferred, and she looked at Zhang Zhenzhen again, squeezing out a smile on her face.

"Daughter, it's not that your mother is looking for you to get money, it's really that the family has no money now, and you take some money out to help the family, and your brother will have to pay thousands of tuitions when he starts school next semester. ”

Zhang Zhenzhen had been silent since the beginning, and only then did she raise her head and say, "I didn't make any money, so I bought clothes and cosmetics." ”

Zhang Fan saw that she didn't act according to last year's script, so he kicked her lightly.

As a result, Zhang Zhenzhen was unmoved, her expression was calm, and she said in a natural tone: "So I don't have any money." ”

The smile on Liu Hongmei's face collapsed suddenly, and she glared at Zhang Zhenzhen and asked sternly, "Are you playing friends outside?"

"No, that's how people in our school dress. Zhang Zhenzhen's voice also became louder.

Seeing that she dared to talk back, Liu Hongmei's anger suddenly rose, and she glanced at her husband Zhang Youde hatefully.

"Look, this is the good girl you raised, the wings are not hard and want to fly, I don't know how much it costs to wear clothes? I don't want to think that my parents are tired and tired in the field every day to raise her for her to study. According to me, I would have married her off a long time ago, and I could still collect some bride price money to return to my capital. ”

Zhang Youde also glared at his wife, with an impatient look on his face. "What are you talking about? My daughter has no problem earning her own money and spending it herself. ”

Then he smiled reluctantly at Zhang Zhenzhen. "Since you don't have any money, Dad also understands that you should dress up well when you grow up so much, and you can't let your classmates see jokes and think that you are a country girl. ”

When Zhang Zhenzhen saw her father say this, a certain spin in her heart was touched again, and she whispered: "It's not without ......."

Before Zhang Zhenzhen's words were finished, Liu Hongmei interrupted her.

"One thing is a point, in the future, you have to save a little bit and don't spend money indiscriminately, it is not easy for the family to repair the house in the past two years. ”

"One ......" Zhang Zhenzhen saw her mother say this, so she was only ready to say a thousand.

"Five thousand of them were kept with me. Zhang Fan also interrupted Zhang Zhenzhen's words.

Zhang Zhenzhen glanced sideways at Zhang Fan, and quietly pinched his right thigh with her left hand.

"It's the same as last year, helping me make decisions. ”

But since Zhang Fan said so, she had no choice but to nod.

"Well, I kept all the money here in Xiaofan. ”

Hearing the number of five thousand, both Liu Hongmei and Zhang Youde's faces were a little better.

Liu Hongmei looked at Zhang Fan and said with a smile: "Wait a minute, you give it to me." ”

Zhang Fan nodded.

Zhang Wenbin, who had been eating with his head down, muttered in a low voice.

"I don't know who your brother is, why don't you give me the money?"

As soon as his words fell, Liu Hongmei knocked him on the head with chopsticks. "If you were half as good as your cousin, your mother and I wouldn't be so angry today. ”

Speaking of the second half of the sentence, she deliberately accentuated her tone and glanced at Zhang Zhenzhen with slanted eyes.

Zhang Wenbin stopped talking, since his parents knew that Zhang Fan went to Rongcheng to study in high school, he had been compared with his capable cousin, and the comparison was a few downs.

That's why they had to send him to the city to study.

As a result, he couldn't keep up with his study progress at all, and he was third from the bottom in the final exam class, so he was blamed again.

"Your aunt told me a few days ago that your cousin will definitely be assigned to the best class after the final exam in the second grade, so it's strange that you can learn well in a day of playing, Zhang Fan studied until two o'clock in the morning every night before going to bed. ”

It is because of this, coupled with the fact that his own sister is obviously closer to Zhang Fan, Zhang Wenbin has no better feelings for his cousin than before.

Zhang Youde looked at his wife, and his brows furrowed again.

"Educate the baby, educate the baby, don't talk about other things. ”

"Am I talking nonsense? It's not that I'm angry with this girl, I knew that I shouldn't have given birth to her in the first place, when Dr. Liao was examined, I obviously said that it was a boy, but it turned out that it was a girl, and I had to go to him for a long time to settle accounts. ”

After Liu Hongmei finished speaking, she looked at Lu Jing again.

"Brother and sister, tell me, when I went to Dr. Liao from the Third Hospital of the city to do a B ultrasound, did he tell me about a boy?"

Speaking of this, she paused and said viciously: "If it weren't for the birth of Bin'er, I must be good-looking with the surname Liao." ”

"You also said that she is your own daughter, how can you ......"

Lu Jing couldn't stand it anymore, and was ready to clean up Zhang Fan's aunt.

had a good New Year's dinner, and this year has been terrible for two consecutive years.

"Maybe it's not biological, what if it's wrong? It wasn't uncommon at that time, isn't it often played like this on TV?" Zhang Zhenzhen stole Lu Jing's words.

Hearing Zhang Zhenzhen say this, Liu Hongmei was so angry that she couldn't speak, but raised her calloused index finger and pointed at Zhang Zhenzhen and shook it.

Even Zhang Youde glared at Zhang Zhenzhen, who was about to teach her a lesson, and his tone softened again after seeing her eyes redden.

"Your mother is this virtue, don't you don't know? You shouldn't say this, your uncle and aunt can testify, you are our daughter, there were two families at that time, and the other family was transferred to the hospital the next day, even if you want to make a mistake, you have no chance!"

Zhang Youde lit a cigarette when he said this, took a long puff, looked at his daughter and said calmly: "Your mother lost half of her life when she gave birth to you, and you fell into confinement and fell into the root of your illness, don't say such things in the future." ”

Zhang Youwei also fell into memories at this time, and turned his head sideways to Lu Jing and asked, "Did the family give birth to a boy? Didn't you talk to his wife for a few days?"

That night, the aunt gave birth at about the same time as the woman, and both had dystocia, so who was still in the mood to care about this. Lu Jing replied as she recalled.

"It's a boy, and the woman kept telling me the other day that she envied me that I was pregnant with a boy, and that she had a girl in her belly. Fortunately, I gave birth to a heartless girl, and she gave birth to a baby son. ”

Liu Hongmei glanced at Zhang Zhenzhen hatefully, and then said with Lu Jing's words.

Zhang Zhenzhen wanted to refute again when she saw her mother like this, but after Zhang Fan pulled her clothes, she still swallowed this breath back.

Because the topic finally shifted to old things, this reunion dinner lasted a little longer than last year.

===

After eating, Liu Hongmei came to Zhang Fan's room, and after receiving 5,000 yuan from Zhang Fan, she had a smile on her face, and whispered to him: "I didn't hurt you in vain when you were a child. ”

In her opinion, her own girl didn't want to give this money, and it was all her nephew who helped to talk.

So he said to Zhang Fan: "Come up and play when you have time." ”

"Hmm. ”

Zhang Fan nodded with a smile, looked at the chilblains on her hands and whispered, "Take care of my cousin more in the future, so as not to be overly old and overhearted." ”

"It's good that your cousin is so obedient. ”

Liu Hongmei sighed and continued: "He was clamoring to change his mobile phone a few days ago, and he wanted to change to one that could access the Internet. ”

"Don't buy it, it will only delay his studies. ”

"I think the same way, why does he have to go to a university anyway, otherwise what will he do in the future?"

Liu Hongmei said worriedly that she was a qualified mother again at this time.

Zhang Fan took out another 1,000 yuan from his pocket and gave it to her.

"You go back with Uncle and buy yourself some body supplements. ”

"No, how can I take your money. Liu Hongmei hurriedly waved her hand and refused.

In the end, I really couldn't accept five hundred. "Take the rest yourself. ”

At this point, she touched her eye sockets and said it again in an emphatic tone. "When I was a child, I really didn't hurt you in vain, and when you came up, I will cook goose eggs for you to eat. ”

Seeing her like this, Zhang Fan really couldn't understand in her heart, who was the five hundred or five thousand?

After a long sigh in his heart, he whispered: "Auntie, you should be kind to Sister Zhenzhen, you don't like her when you are young." ”

However, his self-conscious words got Liu Hongmei's eyes, and the latter took his hand and reminded him seriously: "Your cousin is going to get married after all, you also have to have a more heart, so as not to be deceived by her, and don't you often let your daughter marry and cheat with her husband on TV?"

Seeing that Zhang Fan didn't want to hear it, he continued: "Don't believe it, just take our village ......"

Zhang Fan saw that she was about to set up a dragon gate array, so he had to interrupt her.

"Uncle is waiting for you, let's go!"

Just at this time, her son's voice urging her came from outside the door, and she sat up from the end of the bed.

Opened the door and said to Zhang Wenbin: "Don't be jealous of your cousin in the future, didn't you understand what your father said?"

"Got it. Zhang Wenbin nodded and said to Zhang Fan, "Cousin, I'm leaving." ”

"I'll send you off. Zhang Fan also stood up.

After sending the uncle's family out of the community, Zhang Youde lit another cigarette, patted Zhang Fan's shoulder and said, "Help the uncle take good care of your cousin, it's okay if the girl doesn't go back for the New Year, so as not to be angry at home." ”

"Don't worry. Zhang Fan smiled and nodded in agreement.

"People don't want to recognize you as a father, so you can't see it yet. Liu Hongmei said coldly.

Zhang Youde looked at his wife, and then at his son who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, and he couldn't say anything in his heart.

Zhang Fan helped his uncle's family stop a taxi and gave the car money.

After the taxi disappeared from his view, he observed for a moment the various pedestrians rushing to and fro on the street, and shook his head with a wry smile.

"Man!"

As soon as he got home, Lu Jing glared at him and said angrily: "Why are you like this again, have you forgotten what you told me before?"

"I gave the money for Sister Zhenzhen, after all, the uncle and aunt have calculated it for me. Zhang Fan replied in a low voice.

I was afraid that my mother would ask again, so I asked, "Did Lu Rui return the money to you?"

Lu Jing was silent for a moment before answering. "Your cousin said he didn't have any money, so he will give it after the New Year. ”

"Oh. Zhang Fan didn't say anything more, he just had to wait for this kind of thing.

Waiting for his mother to be disappointed in that family.

"Relatives!"

Thinking back to the events of the afterlife, he smiled wryly and shook his head.

His ear was attached to Zhang Zhenzhen's door, and Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief after not hearing the cry.

Pushing open the door, I saw Zhang Zhenzhen sitting on the bed with her Apple laptop on her lap, and the first thing I said when I saw him was.

"I took the time to ask that Dr. Liao, I was definitely not their biological child. ”

After saying that, another restriction was added. "At least not my mom's. ”

"You eat too much and have nothing to do. Zhang Fan flicked her forehead and asked again, "Do you need a shoulder?"

Zhang Zhenzhen immediately nodded. "Yes. ”

Then he quickly put the laptop aside, then buried his head in Zhang Fan's arms, and complained softly: "My mother is still separated from the relationship between our sister and brother, I have never seen such a patriarchal person." ”

"When did you learn to listen to the corner?" Zhang Fan sighed.

Reached out and patted Zhang Zhenzhen's back and sighed. "The eldest aunt just said casually, don't take it seriously, otherwise it will be you who will be uncomfortable. ”

"It's a lot of discomfort, and then you get used to it. Zhang Zhenzhen also sighed.

"In that case, let me tell you something that makes me feel uncomfortable, and make you happy. ”

"Really?" Zhang Zhenzhen saw Zhang Fan's sad face, and her mood suddenly felt a lot better.

Indeed, human sorrow is incompatible.

"It's true. Zhang Fan nodded heavily, and then sighed again.

"Go downstairs and talk about it, I'm afraid my parents will hear it. ”
