The wine and food were put on the table, and An Ning and Li Cuihua entered the house.

Yang Laomao raised his eyelids and glanced at the two of them, and then pointed at Wang Shushu: "You women get some food to eat on the side, this table is full of old men." ”

Scold.

An Ning sneered, and went over to bring the cooked chicken, fish, and a few good dishes to the table next to him, and left some vegetarian dishes for those old men.

"Auntie, sister-in-law, mother, milk, let's eat here. ”

An Ning pulled the women to another table: "Eat more, I'll do it if it's not enough, by the way, whoever drinks it, I'll go get the drink." ”

Yang Lao glared angrily, but he couldn't do anything about Anning.

Yang Erchou laughed dryly: "Let them eat, it's not easy for the women in the family to take care of housework all year round, this is the New Year, you have to let them eat something good." ”

The corners of Yang Dachou's mouth twitched, and he wanted to say something, but when he thought about his mother, his daughter-in-law, and his daughter-in-law on the table, what else could he say.

But Fugui shouted: "What are you doing, do you still let people eat?"

An Ning turned around and smiled: "Isn't there a dish on the table, second brother, you just have to eat, if you want to eat meat, come to our table to eat." ”

Yang Fugui looked at the vegetarian dishes with clear soup and little water on the table, and then looked at the chicken, duck and fish on the table, he finally decided to abandon the dignity of the old man and squeeze to the table of the girls.

An Ning ate some food, went into the house and took out a down jacket and handed it to Yang Laomao: "Grandpa, I bought it for you from the capital, I just thought about sending it to you again for the New Year, giving you a surprise, what, since you came over today, you can take it back, and I won't send it to you tomorrow." ”

Yang Lao Mao was overjoyed: "You also bought me clothes." ”

He took the down jacket: "This dress is so light. ”

"It's lightweight, it's light and it's warm, and it's so good to wear. ”

Yang Erchou smiled and said, "Dad, you try." ”

Yang Laomao didn't care about eating, so he got up and put on his down jacket: "This dress is so good, soft and strong, ouch, I'm hot for a while." ”

He said as he took it off: "This dress is not cheap, is it?" ”

An Ning smiled and nodded: "I bought it with my grandmother at the same house, and such a piece costs hundreds of yuan." ”

As soon as he heard that this dress cost hundreds of yuan, Yang Laomao held on to it and didn't let go.

Yang Fugui looked at the clothes in Yang Laomao's hand, and his eyes rolled.

He was thinking about going back to the soft grinding and hard soaking to get the clothes to wear by himself, hundreds of dollars of clothes, what kind of feeling it was to wear it.

Yang Lao was in a hurry to go home and put on new clothes, Yang Dachou and they didn't like to eat vegetarian food, so they ate a few bites, sat at An Ning's house for a while, and waited until eight or nine o'clock when the family returned.

As soon as they left, An Ning sat down on the sofa: "Mother, I'm still hungry, give me some dumplings to eat." ”

Li Cuihua patted An Ning's body: "You kid, how can you be so capable just now, just leave after serving the food, and don't look at how angry your father is." ”

An Ning pulled the old lady to sit beside him and leaned his head on the old lady: "Who asked my master not to let us eat at the table, why, the dishes are all made by us, and we are not allowed to eat, the more he doesn't let us eat, the more I want to eat." ”

"You. ”

The old lady smiled and nodded An Ning's forehead: "Today is my own family, no matter what, if there are outsiders, don't do this, you have to pretend to be filial and sensible to me." ”

"Got it. ”

An Ning stuck out her tongue: "I'm really not full." ”

The old lady instructed Li Cuihua: "Cuihua, you can go to some dumplings, I'm also a little hungry." ”

Yang Erchou got up: "I'll go." ”

After eating dumplings, the family sat together to watch the Spring Festival Gala while keeping the New Year.

At twelve o'clock, An Ning went back to sleep.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, An Ning did not go out to pay New Year's greetings, slept in the house for a long time, got up and read a book for a while, and spent most of the day.

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Yang Junni came to pay New Year's greetings, and An Ning followed Li Cuihua to get up early and was busy cooking.

An Ning's aunts have a good temperament, and when they come, they just sit and wait to eat, Yang Junni takes An Ning's cousin Zhang Xiangxiang to help cook.

While cooking, she asked An Ning: "Ning Ning, do you think your cousin is better to take the secondary school exam, or is it better to take the high school exam?"

Zhang Xiangxiang is in the third year of junior high school this year, and she will take the high school entrance examination next year, and Yang Junni can't make up her mind what school she will be admitted to.

In these years, it is very difficult to get into secondary schools and normal schools, of course, the admission will be assigned to work, in comparison, the score line for high school is much lower, but to study in high school, you have to take the college entrance examination, and you have to go to college for a few more years, in the eyes of rural people, this is a delay.

The secondary school comes out to be distributed, and the university comes out to assign work, so why spend a few more years?

An Ning thought about it, she knew in her heart that if she waited for a few more years, the secondary school would no longer be assigned, of course, Zhang Xiangxiang would be able to catch up with the graduation assignment, but what about after that?

What can be done if it is assigned? In recent years, there have been waves of layoffs, and a secondary school diploma is really not enough.

"Auntie, I think it's better to let Xiangxiang study in high school, after all, a college diploma is higher than a secondary school diploma, and you can continue your studies in college, you can assign a job when you look at the secondary school in front of you, it seems to save trouble, but you have to look at the long run, what about the future? ”

"Mother, I think my cousin is right, I want to go to high school. ”

Zhang Xiangxiang said while making dumplings.

"Then how old are you when you go to high school and college, it's hard to find your in-laws. ”

Yang Junni is still worried about this.

An Ning put down the dumplings and said to Yang Junni very seriously: "Auntie, don't always think about finding Xiangxiang's in-laws, how old is Xiangxiang, yes, we got married early in the countryside, but do you know how old people in the city are to get married, twenty-five or six years old is not too old, and there are people in their thirties who get married, Xiangxiang may stay in the city after studying in college, and it is not too big to be old at that time. Auntie, the taste of asking for money with the palms facing up is not pleasant, according to me, it is better for the father to have a mother than to have it yourself, and it is the happiest to earn money and spend it by yourself. ”

Yang Junni was silent.

Li Cuihua whispered to her: "I think Ning Ning is right, you just look at Ning Ning, she has studied in a good university and can earn money, no matter what kind of family she marries in the future, she is not afraid, if her in-laws treat her badly, she can completely avoid that idleness, it's a big deal to divorce, she has a house and money, I'm afraid of him." ”

Yang Junni still didn't speak.

An Ning asked her, "Auntie, what do you want?"

Yang Junni's voice was a little hoarse: "You, your eldest uncle is a little reluctant to let Xiangxiang read too high, saying that it costs too much, you also know that our life is tight, your eldest uncle wants to let Xiangxiang study in secondary school to earn money to subsidize the family as soon as possible." ”
