As soon as Fang Ning walked out of Uncle Li's house, someone stopped him, turned his head, and saw a girl standing on the steps pretty, wearing a white down jacket, a scarf, and gloves, looking a little familiar with her eyebrows and eyes.

But he searched in his mind and didn't have an impression, just as he was thinking about what to do, the girl sneered out loud, and said in a narrow tone, "Fang Ning, why can't you even recognize me?"

This voice sounded familiar, Fang Ning was suddenly startled, and said in disbelief, "Shasha?"

Fang Shasha nodded, and then walked over, only a meter or two away from Fang Ning, looking at him with a smile.

She walked to her, and Fang Ning saw that she was famous. Fang Shasha in front of me is not the fat girl in my memory, I still remember that a few years ago, because I didn't control my diet well during puberty, I accidentally ate and became a fat person.

Although she had clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, the round flesh on her face made people unable to remember her original appearance, because of her obesity, she usually seemed a little inferior and introverted, especially in a group of slender cousins, especially prominent.

"Why have you lost so much weight?" After Fang Ning spoke, he realized that something was wrong, and he was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed his words, "If you hadn't called me, if I met you on the street, I would have been able to recognize you." ”

Fang Shasha smiled, and was praised by Fang Ning, "What you said is a bit exaggerated, it's just that you've lost thirty pounds, and it's not plastic surgery, where can you not recognize the truth?"

Fang Ning shook his head and said, "It's really a world-shaking difference, from a fat man to a thin man like you, without extraordinary perseverance, you will never be able to shake off the flesh on your body, it seems that you have succeeded, and I am really happy for you." ”

After Fang Shasha lost weight, the inferiority complex between his eyebrows on weekdays was also thrown out by the fat flesh, and he spoke a lot more confidently.

Once this person glows, what good luck will come, not only let the surrounding classmates look at the other side, but also the academic performance is also rising step by step, ranking in the top ten of the class in one fell swoop, although there is still not much hope for being admitted to a university, but the second book is still somewhat sure, and then this person has lost weight, the original face contour is also revealed, not to mention how beautiful, but at least it is also clear eyebrows, this is not a boy who confessed to her last semester. People are in good spirits when they are happy, that's the reason.

Fang Ning chatted with her, and asked her parents again, and if her sister was here, Fang Shasha said, they are all helping in the kitchen at the old uncle's house, and my sister will go to help wash the vegetables and boil the water to help.

"The last time I heard that Danmei was also in high school, which school was she admitted to?"

Fang Shasha glanced at him and said, "You are still our cousin, she was admitted to a high school, and now she is in her first year of high school, her grades are not bad, much better than me, and she hopes to go to a major college." ”

Fang Ning nodded, "Your family is all material for studying, and it would be a good thing if you really became a college student." ”

"Isn't it the same in your family? Are you sure about this year's college entrance examination?"

"I am still sure of the two colleges, as for the first and heavy books, the main thing is to succeed in the people, and do their best. Fang Ning finished with a smile and said, "Although the cousins and cousins in our younger generation gather together, if you really count the seeds of studying, there are only a few people, most of them have dropped out of school to work after studying in a junior high school, or even high school. I'm not saying that it's bad to have a part-time job, and it's good to be able to solve the burden for the family as soon as possible, but if you study less, you will suffer after all. ”

Fang Shasha thought so, "What you said is reasonable, uncles and aunts also understand, but the 'pressure' of reality is enough to crush them, pinning on our generation, if you really go out of school, then I don't know when I will go, and besides, the current college students are not worth much, graduation is equivalent to unemployment, it is better to work early to earn some money to supplement the family is more affordable." ”

Fang Ning and Fang Shasha chatted while walking, and went to other relatives' houses to pay New Year's greetings, visited all the way, and returned to Uncle Li's house.

When I entered the door, I saw a bunch of relatives cooking in the hall, a room full of people, some who knew and some who didn't, surrounded by smoke, chatting lazily but nervously, the men blowing each other, the women chattering and chattering non-stop.

The core content of the chat is basically the same style: what kind of work to do, how much is the salary a month, whether to buy a house or a car, whether you have a talking partner, when will your girlfriend bring it back, what are your children's grades, etc.

Half of the questions were about the elders such as the seven aunts and eight aunts, and the people who were asked were all those young people, who were surrounded by a group of elders, carefully answering every question.

If the answer is good, it will become an example for everyone to worship, spread and boast among relatives, and if the answer is unsatisfactory, it will become the gossip of the three aunts and six women.

What Fang Ning saw was a cousin, and the relationship was not bad.

He sat in the smoky elders, faced the elders' inquiries, and said his answer: doing things in Shenzhen, the work is not bad, although the current salary is not high, but the company's prospects are ambitious, he himself is diligent, the boss is also very important, and there is a lot of room for promotion.

"The salary is low, so the benefits and treatment should be pretty good, right?" asked the sixth aunt with a sharp voice.

As soon as my cousin heard Aunt Jin's words, he immediately took it, "Alas, it's okay, I usually have a little oil and water to fish, otherwise how can I survive." Then he smiled mysteriously, reluctant to say the exact amount, but seemed a little inscrutable.

"So did you talk about girlfriends?"

The cousin hesitated for a moment and said, "I talked about a girlfriend in the first half of the year, a girl in a big city. ”

Someone else glared and said, "What is the personality of a girl from a big city?"

The cousin came back and said, "She is a teacher, she is sensible, and she can manage her finances, so she plans to bring her back for the New Year this year, and by the way, she will give your uncle and uncle your palm." ”

"Okay, we, as your elders, will definitely check for you. After the elders said a few words, they took a few puffs of cigarettes with satisfaction, asking him to guard against arrogance and rashness, as long as he worked harder, his life would be better.

After that, the elders asked a few more aunts, some said they had found a good job, some said they had found a rich boyfriend, and some were just older leftover girls to be married.

The former is naturally much more satisfying than the latter, while the latter will be used as a negative teaching material by a group of aunts, who will go home and chatter with their daughters.

After the younger generation is tortured, it's time for the old uncles and aunts to brag about themselves.

Uncle Jin smoked a half-loud cigarette, and as soon as he spoke, he said, "It's not that I said, although pig raising this year is not ideal, according to the current momentum of pork prices, it should not be a problem to earn him seventy or eighty thousand yuan in the first half of the year." ”

The sixth aunt also scrambled to say, for fear of being robbed of the limelight by others, "What is this, our family is going to go to Guangzhou to work together, and the whole family will get rich together and earn money to buy a house." ”

Then there was a gossip chat, comparing with each other, and someone sat down at the table, holding a wine glass to continue the next round of crowd narrative.
