Since He Xidong participated in the physics competition team, he has basically come home from school, and it is basically six o'clock.

Fortunately, after the New Year, the days were getting longer, and at six o'clock, although the sun had set early, it was not too dark.

He Wei was watering the flowers and plants on the balcony, and when she saw her brother's long figure flashing downstairs in the unit, she put down the watering can, took the initiative to open the door, and said to Mother He in the kitchen by the way: "Mom, my brother is back." ”

"Then prepare for dinner."

Mother He brought the last steaming casserole pot to the table and shouted to her daughter's room: "Yanyan, it's time to eat, are you hungry?" ”

"Oh." Zhang Yan came out of the room, washed her hands in the bathroom, and then sat down at the dining table.

The whole series of movements flowed smoothly, making Mother He, who originally wanted to beckon her to sit and not be polite, choked.

Then I thought of Zhang Yan's appearance when she was at her grandmother's house, that is, her mother's house, which seemed to be the same, probably a habit developed at home. When I think about it again, most of the children of this age are like this, and most of them are used to being parents.

Just as I was thinking about it, there was movement at the door.

Mother He turned her head to look and saw her daughter handing slippers to her son, and after handing the slippers, she took the heavy schoolbag in her son's hand and put it on the sofa, and couldn't help but feel gratified: not all children of this age are pampered and ignorant. Like their family, Weiwei is very good, even if she pulls her and doesn't let her do housework, she will take the opportunity to take the initiative to help.

"What are you doing?" Father He went to the lumber factory in the afternoon to buy goods, and when he came back, he was carrying wood and arranging the attic, he sweated, and when he got home, he washed his hair and took a bath.

Only then did He Mu come back to her senses and go back to the kitchen to get dishes and chopsticks.

"Mom, I'll serve the meal." He Wei drove her brother to wash her hands and went into the kitchen to help serve the meal.

"No, mom can come, you can sit with your eldest cousin."

After making a comparison in her heart, Mother He felt that her daughter was too well-behaved, and she couldn't help but want to treat her better.

Zhang Yan sat at the dining table, but her mind was not at the dining table, she looked east and west, looked at the layout of the dining room and living room, and after He Wei's family was on the table, she asked He's mother in a roundabout way: "Second aunt, I remember the last time I came to Qingshi, you still lived in the dormitory of the furniture factory, how did you move out later?" ”

"Didn't my aunt and uncle tell you? My parents were laid off early, and the dormitory was taken back by the furniture factory. ”

He Xidong has always disliked this cousin, and always thinks that she is very contrived, but she knows something, but she has to treat it as if she doesn't know and doesn't know what she thinks, or is it just to expose the scars of their family?

"I've heard them mention the layoffs, but I don't know that the dormitory has also been taken back."

Zhang Yan replied curtly. scolded He Xidong in his heart. Ask what's wrong? Can you be so impulsive?

"At that time, the second aunt and your family must have had a hard time, right?"

"No matter how hard it is, it's over." Mother He took advantage of the fact that she had not yet eaten, so she took turns to clip a few chopsticks and dishes for the three children, and said with a smile: "But then again, if you hadn't been laid off, your uncle and I would probably still be in the furniture factory with a dead salary of 1,800 and a staff dormitory of about 20 square meters." In this way, I have to thank the furniture factory, without their ruthlessness, we will not be forced to open our own stores to do business, and there will be no such a prosperous day now, don't you say Lao He? ”

Father He nodded: "That's really the case." ”

"Uncle's carpentry shop, is business good?"

Zhang Yan asked like this, but thought in her heart: Can't you? This house doesn't look cheap, just with the money earned by the second aunt and her family opening a store, they can buy such a large set of school district houses and shops in just a few years?

"It's okay, it's much better than when I was in the factory."

"The second aunt must be modest, if it is only better than the factory, she can't afford such a big house." Zhang Yan wanted to inquire about the value of the He family's house, and whether it was all earned by the business of the carpentry shop.

When He Xidong heard this, he squinted, raised his head and glanced at Zhang Yan, intercepted his mother's words, and said slowly: "Our house was bought with a bank mortgage, and it was divided into twenty years." ”

"If you don't tell me, I thought I bought it in full." Zhang Yan sneered.

No wonder! She thought to herself: Well, she said, if there is such a good income in opening a wood shop, everyone will rush to open it. Even if you don't know how to do it, you can hire someone to do it.

Now I heard He Xidong say that he bought a house with a mortgage, and he still owes the bank a large amount of loans, and the interest on the light is several thousand per month, and the little money earned by the second aunt is all taken to repay the bank, and he pouted secretly, and finally stopped asking about the house with He's mother.

He's mother didn't understand why her son was lying at first, and then thought that their house was originally using the prize money from her daughter's lottery ticket, which fell in the eyes of people with a heart, and it was inevitable that she would be suspicious, so she closed her mouth cooperatively, and glanced at He's father, signaling him not to interrupt, and let his son make it up. In the end, I was relieved to see that my niece was no longer chasing after her.

"I didn't expect Yanyan to have a lot of eyes, and she almost showed her mouth, but fortunately, Dongzi was clever."

After dinner, it was almost eight o'clock, and the next day was not a day off, and I didn't talk much about work and school, so I didn't talk much, so I went back to my room.

He Mu entered the master bedroom, took a deep breath, and rejoiced.

Father He looked at her exaggerated expression and felt amused: "It's as if your niece is talking to you." ”

"Don't say it, I really feel that way." He Mu muttered and made the bed, walked into the bathroom of the master bedroom, and was about to brush her teeth and wash her face, when she saw a few long hairs on the ground out of the corner of her eye, and squatted down suspiciously.

This bathroom has always been used by himself and Lao He, and his son and daughter rarely come in, who will this long hair be?

Daughter's?

Mother He copied a piece of toilet paper, twisted the hair on the ground, and looked at the light, making sure it was not her daughter's.

My daughter's hair is shiny and soft, unlike these ones, the hair is thick and hard, and the ends of the hair are dry and withered and open several forks.

I was puzzled, and suddenly remembered that in the afternoon, my niece seemed to visit one room after another, and the master bedroom also came in, could it be that she fell?

Thinking of this, He Mu frowned, took toilet paper and wrapped all the hair on the ground and threw it into the trash.

When she turned around, she found a small pool of water stains on the side of the toilet base, she loved to be clean, and her face was not busy washing, so she went to the balcony to get a rag, planning to wipe the bathroom floor thoroughly.

As a result, I met my daughter on the balcony and saw her holding a flat-bottomed mop that mopped the floor in her hand, and asked suspiciously: "Weiwei, it's a big night, what are you doing with a mop if you don't sleep?" ”R1152
