Green mountains, rice fields, mud houses with white walls and blue tiles, since the road was repaired, Zhang Xiangfeng moved back to Huangniping to do confinement. The street is lively, but she also feels embarrassed to let a few women ride motorcycles up and down for more than 20 miles every day. What's more, the confinement people can't blow the wind, the houses on the street are built on the river embankment, and the children like to open the windows, so it's impossible to think about it without the wind.

Zhang's mother-in-law has a very happy life in Huangniping, as long as she cooks, kills chickens, serves and serves her daughter every day, eats better than at home for the New Year, and can watch big color TV every day. Although she doesn't understand what is played on TV, she also likes to watch things that she hasn't seen.

Her mother was happy, and Zhang Xiangfeng, who was in confinement, was naturally happy, but some things also made her worried. The eldest brother and the third brother came to see their mother twice empty-handed, saying that they came to see their mother, but in fact, they came to borrow money and asked to go to their own factory to do things. When he came, he was empty-handed, but when he left, he took a few bags of milk powder and two packs of rock candy from his mother, who was reluctant to eat, which Jiaming specially bought back to add something (calcium) to the old man!

The eldest niece is working outside the home, with seven or eight hundred yuan a month, and the eldest brother doesn't do anything big, so can he have no money in his hands? When he goes to work in his own factory, what can he do, a peasant who doesn't know anything? The factory is no better than the house, and there are rules for everything, if the eldest brother doesn't do things and only takes money, and often points fingers, what will happen to the husband? How do the uncles think of themselves?

The annoyed Zhang Xiangfeng absentmindedly accompanied his mother, looking at the white lady on TV, when suddenly there was a sound of motorcycles and dogs barking outside the door, and then the door was pushed open, and Li Xiaolan, who was sweating profusely, walked in with a bag of fruit and milk powder.

"Xiang Feng, mother-in-law, yo, you are also watching "The Legend of the New White Lady"? Da Mao, hurry up and move things, you can also enter the room of the moon mother-in-law?"

The rough Li Xiaolan is only half a year younger than Zhang Xiangfeng, she used to be called sisters when she worked outside, but now one is an aunt and the other is a niece, but the title has not changed. Putting the fruit and milk powder on the table, Li Xiaolan poured herself a cup of cold tea, and sat in front of the TV to watch it with relish.

After watching the last seven or eight minutes of "The Legend of the New White Lady", Li Xiaolan, who had just drunk a big bowl of herbal tea, also went to help carry rice and oil. It's about to be a full moon wine, and the adults are very busy in Tonggu, so the preparation can only be done by the people in the house, and Da Mao Ling and Li Xiaolan are the main laborers.

After feeding, Zhang Xiangfeng got up and went to the hall to take a look, a layer of urea bags had been laid on the wall, on which were piled with dried vegetables such as kelp, dried mushrooms, and fungus, and in the sunning flat under the scorching sun, there were several bags of rice, oil and some dried vegetables on the three-wheeled motorcycle.

"Xiaolan, when will your uncle reply?"

Li Xiaolan came in with a large basin of carburetor oil, put it on the table of the Eight Immortals, and jokingly said, "Which uncle do I have? I have six uncles!"

Da Mao Ling, who came in with a bag of rice, was a little more brainy than the object, knowing that this aunt was a shrewd person, and he was afraid that people would think too much, so he hurriedly explained: "Uncle Chuanlin's goods haven't been finished yet, but he said that he will rush back when he talks about the moon wine." ”

The affairs in the factory have always made Zhang Xiangfeng very worried, but the communication conditions in the mountains are poor, and it is impossible for her to go to the village to call and ask, and cause trouble to her husband, who is rushing to deliver the goods.

"Are you done in time?"

"I heard Uncle Cheng Wan say that they all work in three shifts, and they rush for a month and a half to catch up with the goods, so there must be no problem. ”

After moving things, Da Maoling, who didn't care about being cool for a while, went to help in the vegetable garden, the son-in-law was half a son, and the prospective son-in-law before marriage was the life of a cow and a horse. The diligent Li Xiaolan also put on a straw hat and was about to help, but Zhang Xiangfeng, who had something in her heart, hurriedly stopped her.

"Xiaolan, let me ask you something. ”

"Well, you say. ”

"Yesterday I saw your maternal uncle passing by the door, you yes yes they are opening a shop outside, and asking outsiders to help is also helping, why don't you call your maternal uncle to help?

If it was before, the rough Li Xiaolan wouldn't think much about it, but the former little sister has become the current little aunt, plus the usual private gossip of her mother and aunts, she has also heard a lot.

"Xiangfeng, isn't it your brother who came to ask something?"

used to have a close relationship, but now it is a family, Zhang Xiangfeng is not embarrassed, and said helplessly: "I annoyed him to death, he doesn't know anything, and he always wants to go to work in the Chuanlin factory." ”

Although she felt a little awkward in her heart, when she was working outside before, everyone was a good sister in the same village, and Li Xiaolan still whispered: "Mo, you must not mention this to Uncle Chuanlin." You don't know that I'm a man, he always says, 'When you go out and do things, you have to follow the rules.'" You see, my maternal uncle and my aunts' brothers don't go into the decoration shop or Uncle Chuanlin's factory. Uncle Chuanlin's factory, I yes yes they own 60% of the shares, if you mention this, I yes will turn my face. ”

The rough Li Xiaolan's mind is not so detailed, not to mention that the Zhang Xiangsong brothers came empty-handed twice, and when they left, they carried things, and they were even more dissatisfied with them. What's more, she also heard Zhang Qi's little spy say that the six chickens sent by the Zhang family were all raised by her mother-in-law.

"Xiangfeng, although you are now my aunt, I still regard you as the former Feng's sister. Don't you see that your eldest brother and second brother crawled out of the belly of a mother, they really saw you as their own sister? The money I sent back, my brother wants to practice sports and eat nutrition, I haven't touched a penny in the house, and I have saved all of them as a dowry, what about your family?

I listened to Qiqi say, you were raised by your third brother and mother-in-law, and you don't owe them, can you be so embarrassed? Or is our family clearly right, you owe money to repay money, you owe favors to repay favors, and if you don't owe it, it's your business! What is there to be embarrassed about? How did he say that, yes, the more embarrassed you are, the more embarrassed people are!

Sister Feng, it's not me talking about you, you're just thinking too much. Since you owe nothing, come and go when you are happy, and let them die away if you are unhappy. You don't ask them for anything, if they ask too much, you don't even pay attention, there are a lot of their things in three festivals a year!"

These words came out of the mouths of his sisters, but Zhang Xiangfeng could hear that his genius stepson looked down on his two brothers. It's just that he is a scholar of Sven, and if he doesn't step on his bottom line, he will look at him coldly as if he is watching a monkey trick, if he crosses the red line, it will be a thunderous blow, just like he beat the famous Chen Hesheng in front of the people on the street last year.

Zhang Xiangfeng was wrong, the Li family really didn't look down on Zhang Xiangsong's brothers, but they didn't have the idea of taking care of the family's affairs. With his father here and his stepmother, he still needs to take care of the affairs of the family? Big deal, it is a matter of losing some money, and the problem that money can solve is a small problem, so why let my father be caught in the middle?

However, Li Jiaming didn't want to care, so Zhang Xiangfeng still asked him for advice. After living together for nearly half a year, she knows the weaknesses of this genius stepson. This kid may be very indifferent, but he attaches great importance to filial piety and family affection, not only to his grandfather and maternal uncle, but also to his second aunt and uncle, and usually does not even have a little disobedience.

Waiting until the weekend holiday, Zhang Xiangfeng, who was holding the child, went upstairs to the study, told his troubles one by one, and asked: "Jiaming, you are smarter than Auntie, you help Auntie find a way, don't let Auntie embarrass you Ye Ye (Dad), people are terrible." ”

Although the father and the aunt are one, the Li family really doesn't want to get involved in these things, and smiles bitterly for a while: "Auntie, it is difficult for a clean official to decide family affairs, and some things are easy for people next to them to say, but it is difficult for the parties to do them." ”

"That's why Auntie came to you, Auntie is stupid, she really can't think of any good way. ”

What kind of stupidity is this? This is clearly cunning, okay?

However, Li Jiaming also understands that if the housekeeper is like himself, he doesn't mind that he doesn't care, no matter how big the family business is, people will take it out. Some people, even if they are close, can't always get used to it.

Li Jiaming, who was forced into a corner, smiled and confirmed: "Auntie, are you sure you want to listen to my method?"

After a little hesitation, Zhang Xiangfeng was really annoyed by the two greedy brothers, and he was even more afraid that they would have to inch in the future, so he nodded lightly and said, "Well, Auntie thinks you are smarter than everyone else!"

It's not necessarily smart, it's just that you are more rational in doing things, and you are rarely swayed by some messy feelings and feelings, Li Jiaming still smiled and said: "Auntie, have you heard of my style of doing things?"

With such a reminder, Zhang Xiangfeng remembered the ruthlessness of the child in front of him, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart, but he also remembered the usual behavior of this child, and finally said firmly: "Jiaming, auntie believes in you!"

'xxx, I believe in you', this kind of thing is the most unbelievable, and Li Jiaming doesn't want to be contaminated with cause and effect. However, it's okay to hide behind and come up with ideas, after all, if the affairs of the mother-in-law, Heya, and chess sisters are not handled well, it will inevitably make the aunt annoyed, and in the end, the trouble will fall on the father, who let him marry the aunt?

"Auntie, as the saying goes, 'family ugliness should not be publicized', but something is like a pustule, and it can't be better if you don't squeeze it out. There are some things that you know in your heart, and others also know in their hearts, but everyone maintains a face, and they don't break it. ”

Zhang Xiangfeng's face turned red, and he felt a little embarrassed, how could he hide the bad things of his own family from others, and how could he hide it from the child in front of him? The dowry of 18,000 yuan he brought over was still given privately by this child.

"After my mother-in-law came, I bought her milk powder, rock candy and other nutritional products, but my mother-in-law ate it herself? Auntie, I'm not a stingy person, these small money are really not a problem. He wants, I'll buy more, my mother-in-law can always eat some.

But have you ever thought about it, the drum doesn't beat or sound, and in the long run, what should I do with you and the chess sister? They are so sensitive, and it will be no problem for our family to provide them with education in the future, but if someone next to them gossips, do you think they will really accept it with their temperament?"

Yes, Zhang Xiangfeng was shocked, his nephew is better, his niece's temperament is simply a hedgehog, except for himself and his mother and Heyan can talk about her, the more others talk about her, the more she will be reversed. The third brother is not angry, and he is also embarrassed, but he has never treated himself badly! The eldest brother and the second brother will split up when they get married, if it weren't for the third brother helping Ye Ye (father) and mother, I am afraid that he would not even have to go to junior high school!

"Jiaming, what do you say?"

What to do?

It is difficult to show the bodhisattva's heart without thunderbolts!

Li Jiaming smiled and peeled off a troublesome matter, and then concluded: "Auntie, if you fight with you yourself, it will prove that he is a man who can support the top of the house! If we can't do it in the future, we will help him again, and everyone will have nothing to gossip, what do you think?"

Amazing, Zhang Xiangfeng admired it for a while, and calculated most of the people in his mother's house with a casual move, so that they had to help them solve the trouble.

Awesome, no wonder people are geniuses!
