Chapter 126: Conversation at the Dinner Table
Xu Xiangshan was stunned, Xu Xiangqing's academic performance actually improved, and she even won the first place in the school, which she never expected. If www.biquge.info had known that this was the case, she wouldn't have said those words just now. "Sister Xiang Qing's academic performance is so good now, this is a good thing. ”
Xu Xiangcong was also a little surprised, Xu Xiangqing's progress was also beyond his expectations. In his impression, Xu Xiangqing is introverted and doesn't like to talk, and her sense of existence is very low. But when I came back this year, although I didn't see anyone yet, I heard about her first.
Not to mention that the juniors were surprised, even Xu Zhongtao and his wife were also surprised. Xu Zhongtao heard that his niece had good grades, and he was also happy. "Xiang Qing is really enlightened, so let's just say that our Xu family's children are not stupid. Now the second brother doesn't have to worry, he has been worried about Xiang Qing's results before. ”
mentioned Xu Xiangqing, and Xu Guangrong was also full of smiles. Since the school holiday, the people in the village met him and said congratulations, everyone was envious of his granddaughter who had the best score in the school. I heard that my granddaughter Xu Xiangqing was going to the province to participate in the competition, and only five people were selected in the city, but the county chose her granddaughter, what an honor it was.
"Xiang Qing's test results for most of the year have been getting better and better every time, and in the end, this time he was even more competitive and won the first place in the school. Everyone in these villages knows that everyone is envious. Although your generation has Zhongtao as a college student and Zhonghui as a high school, it was also very remarkable in that era. In the younger generation, Xiang Cong and Xiang Shan, two children, took a good lead and were admitted to prestigious universities. Now that Xinyu and Xiang Qing are learning to have something upstream, they will not be similar in the future. There are many people outside who are saying that the people of our old Xu family are smart and can learn, and they are all reading materials. Now there is only Xiang Ming's grades left, but it doesn't matter, as long as he doesn't play and study hard, his grades will go up. ”
Xu Guangrong babbled a lot, and the rest of the juniors could only listen and couldn't interrupt. Xu Guangrong is looking forward to seeing that the grandchildren of the Xu family can be admitted to university, and how beautiful the Xu family should be at that time. Xu Guangrong himself was full of confidence, and felt that Xu Xiangming could bring surprises like Xu Xiangqing as long as he studied, but he was too optimistic. Xu Xiangming and Xu Xiangqing are two people, Xu Xiangqing persists hard in order to study, but Xu Xiangming may not be able to do it.
"Xiang Ming, you can't be left behind, you have to work hard, you should go to junior high school next year, and you won't be a child. Xu Xiangcong touched the hair of his cousin sitting next to him and said a word of encouragement.
Xu Xiangming is most annoyed by others talking about his academic performance, but he can't refute half a sentence in front of so many adults. Unlike Xu Xiangqing, who had a poor study in the past, he can still say: Xu Xiangqing's grades are not as good as mine.
"Don't talk about me all the time, I'll study hard in the future. You talk about something else, the biggest thing this year should be the second uncle's family moving. Xu Xiangming bluntly wanted to change the topic, and several people at the dinner table laughed.
"By the way, Mom and Dad, what's going on with the second brother's family moving to the county seat? I didn't mention this in the letter I wrote to my family before, it was so sudden. What did the second brother's family live on when they went to live in the county seat, and what kind of work did they do?" Xu Zhongtao felt that he was the eldest son in the family, and the situation in the family must be understood. But Tian Xia dragged her husband with her hand under the table, not wanting him to talk too much.
Tian Xia felt that everyone had their own families, and there was no need to care so much about other people's affairs. Whether Xu Zhonghui's family is doing well or bad, it has nothing to do with them. But in Tian Xia's subconscious, she felt that the relatives of the Xu family, except for Xu Lian, who married Luo Xiaobo, who could make money, were doing well, and the rest of Xu Zhonghui and Xu Zhongchao were poor.
Tian Xia is a native of Beijing, the only daughter in the family, she has been raised since she was a child, her parents are teachers, and she is now a middle school teacher. When he was young, he fell in love with Xu Zhongtao, who was admitted to university in the countryside and went to study in the capital, and got married according to his own temperament. At first, I was happy, but gradually there were all kinds of dissatisfaction. Especially Xu Zhongtao, who has been a section chief in the past few years and has not been promoted, her dissatisfaction is even more. She always felt that her friends around her were laughing at her, and she would be envious when she saw that others were better off than herself, in this case, she didn't want others to know that her husband had a bunch of poor relatives in the countryside, and now Tian Xia was proud of a pair of children who were excellent in learning.
Xu Zhongtao felt his wife dragging him, and he knew in his heart that his wife was unhappy. But what he said was wrong, but he had already spoken, so he could only continue to talk, but fortunately, others did not find the small actions of Xu Zhongtao and his wife.
"The second child has been learning to repair a machine and electrical appliances by himself over the years, and it happened that there was a job in the county, so he went. I've been doing it for half a year, and I've heard that it's done well. The second daughter-in-law also does some odd jobs to earn less money. They don't have their own house to rent a house now, and they can only gain a foothold if they can buy a house in the county seat in a few years. Xu Guangrong didn't think much of this second son before, but recently he felt that it was not easy for Xu Zhonghui to get to the present by himself. Thinking that a house in the county seat costs tens of thousands of yuan, Xu Guangrong is also worried.
"Dad, second brother, you don't have to worry about it. I've heard that the second brother now has a salary of six or seven hundred yuan a month, so the boss may have to give my second brother a salary increase, which is seven or eight thousand yuan this year. And where is my second sister-in-law doing odd jobs for people, but I heard the news that my second sister-in-law opened her own shop to do business. The business is booming and making a lot of money. If they want to buy a house, it is probably not difficult at all. Now the poorest person in the family is me, Dad, you should think more of a way for me. ”
Xu Zhongchao works all day long to fool around, just to play, but in the past six months, he has also met a lot of people and made a lot of friends under the banner of Luo Xiaobo's brother-in-law. In Xu Zhongchao's eyes, they are brothers, and in the eyes of outsiders, they are a rabble. A few days ago, playing cards, Xu Zhongchao inadvertently heard about Xu Zhonghui's family from these people. Knowing that the life of the second brother's family was prosperous, Xu Zhongchao's heart was extremely unbalanced.
"What nonsense are you talking about here, your second brother said it when he came back last time, he didn't earn that much. Besides, how is it possible for your sister-in-law to open a shop, that is, she is a helper. What your second brother didn't tell the family, don't guess. Xu Guangrong scolded his youngest son Xu Zhongchao, and his youngest son didn't go to work well and gambled, which made him very angry.
