Li Guohua's family did not return to Li's house for the New Year, which is very inconsistent with tradition and public sentiment in this era. After all, Li Guohua is not a son-in-law, and Zhao Xiaoxue's family also has an elder brother to support the portal.

And since they had children, half of their family's living expenses are still provided by Old Man Li.

Li Guohua is still doing chores in Zhao Xiaoxue's father's restaurant, but Zhao Xiaoxue's father has reached retirement age, and it is impossible for the new manager to let Zhao Xiaoxue sit there every day and get a few bowls of tofu brains for nothing. And she was not in good health, she began to ask for leave after she became pregnant, gave birth to a child and recuperated for a long time, and was finally suspended from work by the unit.

Zhao Xiaoxue is not in good health, and the child has no milk, so she can only rely on milk powder. A bag of milk powder costs three yuan, a five- or six-month-old child gets five bags a month, Li Guohua's monthly salary is less than thirty yuan, Zhao Xiaoxue has no income at all, and the Zhao family also has their own grandson to raise, so they can only rely on Old Man Li to help.

Fortunately, Old Man Li is in good health, and he can earn three or four hundred yuan a year with the help of the Zhou family without much effort, so that Li Guohua's family can sustain their lives.

But even so, they refused to go home for the New Year. "The child is small, the countryside is cold, and I am afraid of getting sick." The outspoken-speaking and unforgiving Ye'er didn't accept this reason at all, "Didn't they all celebrate the New Year at my father-in-law's house when they didn't have children?" ”

The second aunt is the most honest, and when she saw Li Guohua's family of three coming back, she first pulled Ye'er and Ya'er aside and said, "They can't come back a few times a year, don't make your father angry for the New Year." ”

Li Shuhua's family has been much more silent since Gu Tao was sentenced. The family never had any contact with the Zhou family brothers and sisters, and the Li family never mentioned them in front of several children.

When they met today, the two families did not say hello or speak. It's just that Zhou Chen looked at Old Man Li's face and nodded with Gu Xiang and Gu Shun.

Gu Tao was only sentenced to one year that year, but he never walked out of the prison gate. It is said that she violated discipline several times in it and was sentenced several times, and she couldn't get out for ten years, as for whether she can come out in the future, it depends on what Shen Guodong thinks.

These ancient family members didn't know, and they didn't even dare to look at the notice sent by the government and hid it. There is no longer a shameful daughter like Gu Tao in the family.

Shen Guodong knew this matter best, but he pretended to be innocent more than anyone else, and he was not humble at all to contact Old Man Li and the uncles of the Li family. Completely ignore Li Shuhua's family.

A large family of four generations is in the same house, thirty or forty people get together, and there are more than ten children, which really can't be more lively. But Li Jinhua, who has always been the most crazy, honestly squatted in the kitchen this year to light the fire for his second aunt. Refuses to go out to accompany customers.

He's in trouble again this year.

With the slow relaxation of national policy. The market in Yangshugou Commune is slowly opening again, but the people who buy and sell things are the villagers nearby. On the three days of every month, farmers would spontaneously go and set up stalls with their own products.

Exchange your old pumpkin for a few chicks hatched by others, or sell fresh melons and fruits that you are reluctant to eat, or buy some daily necessities and bring back two pieces of candy sweet mouth for your child.

But it was also the season when the farming was slack and the family was producing, and there were still no people in this small market at other times.

Li Jinhua went to the market twice and had an idea as soon as his mind turned.

The side streets are so long that the farmers want to get a good position. Those who are far away will have to set off in the middle of the night to take their seats. Now that the government's policy is not so clear, the commune leaders do not dare to relax too much. It is still not allowed to set up stalls outside the designated area.

Li Jinhua gave the old man who swept the streets of the commune a few handfuls of good dry tobacco that Old Man Li had grown, and the old man turned his head early to occupy a large row of good places in the bazaar.

took two yuan to buy twist flowers and candy cubes, and came back to coax the old and young people of the family to smile.

It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and he was accused of being sent out within two months of doing business without capital.

The commune leader slapped the table and didn't know how to convict him, which was too good at exploiting loopholes! Punish! It must be punished severely!

Li Jinhua became one of the few people who was re-educated through labor after the Red Revolution in the whole commune.

It's not enough for him to go by himself, and the family has to have someone to accompany the labor camp! Who made you not optimistic about this second-rate son! I'm crazy about money! Dare to do anything!

The eldest uncle of the Li family took the initiative to accompany him to re-education through labor, no one persuaded him to come back, no one refused to do it for him, it was his responsibility that his younger brother did not teach well, and he couldn't let others in the family be embarrassed!

"My father is about to kneel down for my uncle, but the uncle just refuses to come back, my father really regrets it!" Ya'er mentioned this to Zhou Wanwan as if she was telling a story, "Later, my grandfather went to find Brother Yangzi, and Brother Yangzi went to the commune for a trip before I put my father and uncle back!" ”

"Then the second uncle really didn't toss this time?" Zhou Wanwan doesn't believe it.

Sure enough, Ya'er's eyes bent, "Now I listen to the radio every day, saying that the national policy is going to change!" He also took a Xiwang geography book and made a comparison, saying that there is a sea in the south, and Nagada is a good place! It's all about letting individuals do business! But I don't dare to let my grandfather know, and if I know, I will cut him with a cane! ”

"If the state lets you do it, then let your father do it! He's quite aggrieved at home! Ye Er saw that Li Jinhua had wilted in the past half a year, and began to feel sorry for him.

The whole family said that Li Jinhua was out of tune, and even his two eldest children had opinions about him, but Ye'er and Ya'er had a deep relationship with him and never looked at their father like that. Li Jinhua was confined at home when they were young, and he doted on them, and the father-daughter relationship was very good for so many years.

Shen Guodong has been paying attention to Zhou Wanwan, of course he knows what they are muttering, so he went to the kitchen to find Li Jinhua when he found time, "The electrical appliances in Shenzhen are very sought-after in the north, if the second uncle wants to pour some upside down, I can help you find a source of goods, and there are also people who receive it here." ”

Everyone knows that things over there are in demand here, but there's no way to turn them upside down! Shen Guodong is looking for a source of goods and a market, and he is obviously sending money to Li Jinhua!

Li Jinhua refused to take advantage of his future nephew and son-in-law. "I'll take a look, and if you can find a source and a market, I'll help you look at it. I don't want to make money when the time comes! I'm satisfied if I can go out and see it! This is indeed what he said in his heart, he wanted to go out and have a look, and he was stunned!

And no matter how well the niece marries, she has to live in the Shen family, and if the mother's family always takes advantage, the child will be embarrassed over there. He can't help him as an uncle, and he can't drag his feet.

And he doesn't have the capital in his hands, so he must be against it when he goes out at home. It is impossible to get money for him.

Zhou Wanwan suddenly thought of Li Jinhua's concerns, "Second uncle, can you take me a share?" I'll pay for it. When the time comes, the money will be divided into three parts, and Brother Shen will be given one share, so we won't take him cheap in vain! Zhou Wanwan pulled Li Jinhua's sleeve and winked at him, "You have to help me save for the dowry!" ”

Li Jinhua couldn't refuse this reason. Quickly nodded. "Okay! The second uncle saved a dowry for you! But the second uncle won't share the money with you! What has become of that second uncle! ”

Zhou Wanwan didn't force her, pulled Ye'er and Ya'er to join the gang, and gave them more money when the time came, these two girls are smart and generous, they know her intentions, and they will definitely not treat their mother's family badly.

With Shen Guodong's support, Old Man Li and Li Houhua knew about this matter and did not object. Although they don't know much about Shen Guodong's work, they often see him in the newspaper. Knowing that he said that the state will let him do it, then there must be no problem.

And both of them understand. This is Shen Guodong and Zhou Wanwan sending money to Li Jinhua. The two children took such a big turn and took into account the self-esteem of the whole family, they had to appreciate it.

The whole family was happy for Li Jinhua, and Zhou Wanwan smiled and fooled Li Houhua to give them a share of the shares, so that Li Jinhua really made a splash in front of the whole family, and finally dispersed the depression that affected the family.

Li Houhua's eldest cousin, Li Qingyun, laughed with everyone and pulled his wife Wang Liqin out, "You can control your mouth, don't mention the matter of shares, Nan Nan and Guodong let their father take care of our shares, let's not be satisfied!" ”

"Dad is not our child! Besides, we're all separated, and it's not ours if my dad has it! Let's get in on it? They picked up the money for nothing, so they can't give us a little? "Wang Liqin has been a lot of money over the years, and she doesn't dare to pinch her tips and make trouble like before, but if she really wants to let this money slip away like this, she still wants to earn it for herself.

But in the end, Wang Liqin still didn't earn it, it wasn't Li Qingyun who persuaded her, but she didn't dare to go.

There are many people who have the same idea as Wang Liqin, and the first one who wants to earn is Li Guohua.

Li Guohua has always had an inexplicable fear of Shen Guodong, even today Shen Guodong has an unprecedentedly good attitude towards the Li family, and he doesn't dare to take the initiative to speak in the past. But Zhao Xiaoxue didn't agree, if such a good opportunity was missed, it would be even more hopeless for the two of them to turn over.

Zhao Xiaoxue didn't want to rely on Old Man Li for help from her heart, everyone knew that they were supported by the elderly, how could she show her superiority in marrying into the countryside? Do you still want her to be like her two sisters-in-law, and she will have to wash clothes and cook for two old people when she is old in the future? Let her serve two old men and old ladies in the countryside, she will never accept it.

Now that she has the opportunity to make a lot of money, she can continue to look down on the Li family from above in the future.

And they are also brothers, Shen Guodong let the eldest and second children all buy shares, so they were pulled down, and in the future, their lives will depend on the little money that Old Man Li earns from raising chickens, and they will have to be compared.

It's a pity that Shen Guodong didn't give Li Guohua any face at all, after listening to him, he pointed at Zhao Xiaoxue in front of the whole family and rejected him, "Doesn't she look down on Nannan?" The first time I came back, let the girl serve her, you forgot me, you haven't forgotten! ”

Zhao Xiaoxue was so embarrassed that her face turned the color of pig liver, and no one could find words to ease the atmosphere for a while.

Zhou Chen sighed in his heart, and called Yin Yimei with a smile, "Auntie, can you have dinner?" I've been hungry for a long time for the pork ribs stewed vermicelli you made! ”

The embarrassment was finally covered up, and the people of the Li family who had a small abacus in their hearts didn't dare to say anything, everyone understood how Shen Guodong's identity changed, and his temper didn't change at all, he was only willing to help the people who really loved the Zhou family's brothers and sisters.

Li Shuhua leaned next to Mrs. Li and wiped her tears, but Mrs. Li didn't dare to say a word for her under Old Man Li's stern gaze.

"Do you really think the second uncle can do it?" Zhou Wanwan was curious about this, and when she returned home, she hurriedly asked Shen Guodong.

"Surely, just watch!" And Shen Guodong has other plans for Li Jinhua, "Aren't we going to set up a company soon, and when the second uncle goes to the south to experience a few times, let him go to the company to help." The second uncle doesn't want to stay at home, and his brain is alive, so let's find a suitable place for him. ”

"Brother Shen, thank you, I know you are doing all this for me." Zhou Wanwan hugged Shen Guodong's waist and buried his head in his arms with attachment.

With Shen Guodong's character, he is willing to help the second uncle and the eldest uncle, just because of her. She likes this optimistic and cheerful second uncle, he is willing to think about everything for the second uncle, and even takes into account the self-esteem of the Li family.

This is something that Shen Guodong would not do at all before, he would not do it, and he would not think so carefully about people he didn't care about in all aspects.

Shen Guodong's heart was instantly soft because of the little girl's thanks. He had never thought of asking her to reciprocate all this, but if she could sense his heart, and be moved by it, he would feel that what he had done was more worthwhile.

His feelings are recognized, which is more important to Shen Guodong than anything else.

The inexplicable satisfaction and emotion filled his heart, making him eager to do something for this intimate little girl, and many ideas that had not been formed before suddenly became clear.

"Little fool, we're getting married! What I do for you is what I do for myself, husband and wife, you have to get used to it quickly! Shen Guodong hugged Zhou Wanwan and breathed a long sigh of relief.

"After we got married, we had to consider not only the relationship between the two of us, but also the two families. As a nephew and son-in-law, you should do something for your favorite uncle! In the future, it is also a good thing that our children will have one more uncle who loves him! ”

And the mother's family has a few more relatives who have achieved something and protect the little girl, which can also block some people's gossip. No matter how much he protects her, he is afraid that he will be overlooked, and he must consider all aspects for her to rest assured.

The Zhou family has few brothers and sisters, and they don't go out from the third day of the first month. The family plus the Zhao family brothers, as well as the Baoxue and Zhongxue who come to join in the excitement every day, the childlike big children with crazy children, the family laughs and laughs, and the truly relaxed holiday life really begins.

Zhao Xiaosi'er refused to even go home to sleep at night, for fear of missing out on something fun and delicious.

Zhou Chen and Zhao Xiaosan'er also often got together and muttered, the more Zhao Xiaosan'er talked about it, the more excited he became, looking at Zhou Chen's gaze was simply worshipping idols.

It was until the seventh day of the first lunar month, and Shen Guodong suddenly announced to everyone early in the morning that Grandpa Shen was coming today.

Grandpa Shen's car arrived at the door of the house before noon, the old man was tough and full of energy, with a big red scarf reflecting his silver hair, and he was in great spirits.

Sit down and settle down, Grandpa Shen went straight to the point and solemnly proposed to Zhou Yang.

"You know this kid better than me, he can't count his shortcomings, and the only thing that can be done is this piece of heart for Nannan. The two of them are married, and grandpa is marrying a granddaughter-in-law and a granddaughter, and he will definitely protect the little girl like you and not let her suffer a little grievance.
