Liu Haiping nodded and said, "Our brother, why are you so polite?" Don't say anything about visiting, in the evening, a large family will come to the county, let's get together, drink, how happy. ”

Zhang Shan promised: "Okay, then I'll see you tonight." ”

At noon, when the family was eating takeaway and drinking pumpkin mung bean porridge, Luo Xian asked: "I heard that Liu Haiping has made a lot of money by reclaiming land in Zhejiang in recent years?" ”

Li Man said with a look of disdain: "That's all rumors, I did earn some money a few days ago, I heard that it is hundreds of thousands a year, the economic situation has not been good in recent years, I have always wanted to go back to my hometown to contract projects, I heard that I have borrowed a lot of money, but I haven't earned any money, and his wife Lin Min is divorcing him." He should be having a hard time now, a man in his forties has an old face, like an old man in his sixties. ”

Zhang Yan sighed: "It doesn't matter if you don't have money, if you want to contract a project, it's not easy to talk about it." ”

Xia Yu ate the dry pot and expressed everyone's worries: "I see that the meal should not be delicious, maybe I have to borrow money." ”

Xia Yu said Zhang Shan's worries, but he didn't expect Zhang Gui to say dissatisfiedly at this time: "He borrowed money tonight, Zhang Shan, you must not borrow today, I don't know if he can repay the money that year." ”

Li Man also agrees with her husband's point of view: "In the past, when your sister and brother were studying, I didn't have enough money, and your aunt and their family moved out, and I wanted to borrow money from them to build a house in my hometown. Originally, your brother Haiping agreed, but your aunt and uncle knew about it and resolutely disagreed, thinking that we would not be able to pay back after we were poor. Therefore, I obviously bought the bricks in my hometown, but because I had no money in my hand, I did not write that I had to repair the house, and later those people on the team even stole the bricks.

When their family used to earn hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, they often sarcastically despised our family for having no money to drink and smoke. It's not that your sister and brother are both good at mixing well, so we will attract the attention of our family, and I won't borrow this kind of relatives who are high and low. ”

Luo Xian listened to Li Man talking about the old things about their family's old sesame seeds and rotten grains, and was a little uninterested, just like Xia Yu, eating and playing with his mobile phone. The four children muttered to themselves while eating steaks, making a small world of their own. Only Zhang Shan's family is still talking about the past one by one, and finally Zhang Shan thought about it and said: "Let's go, others are kind enough to invite us to dinner, we still have to give face, as for borrowing money, I'll look at it when the time comes, right?" At most, it is not more than 100,000, it is to look at the face of his relatives and help him tide over the difficulties. We'll talk about the rest later. ”

Li Man disagreed: "Son, Liu Haiping's family is a bottomless pit, although 100,000 yuan is nothing to you, it is still the living expenses of me and your father for more than ten years, although you have money now, don't take money seriously." 100,000 yuan is not a small amount, and if you open your mouth to borrow money this time, if he has no money to repay, if he continues to borrow money next time, there is no excuse not to accept it, it is a bottomless pit. ”

Zhang Gui also said: "Some time ago, I heard your eldest brother say that Liu Haiping called them last time, and your eldest brother listened to your father's words and didn't borrow it." ”

Zhang Shan disagreed: "My aunt used to be very good to me, when I was in high school, my aunt often asked me to go to their house on weekends to have tooth sacrifices, for the sake of my aunt's face, I still helped, so that my aunt's life would not be too hard."

Besides, didn't we get along with my father's family for the rest of our lives? Last time, I also took some money from my eldest brother, but I didn't borrow it when it was Liu Haiping's turn, so it doesn't make sense.

Okay, isn't it just a trivial matter of 100,000 yuan? I have any balance in my hand, and that's all it takes to eat less or lose money playing cards. Don't carry the old ideas of the past, let's help a foil. I've decided on this matter, and I know in my heart that you'll leave it alone. ”

In the evening, the family drove to a relatively popular restaurant in the county, and Aunt Zhang Shan's relatives were already waiting at the table, Zhang Shan and Luo Xian naturally wanted to drink, so they sat at another table, Xia Yu and Zhang Yan Li Man took the children and almost filled the table, and Zhang Shan's aunt joined Xia Yu's table.

Li Man and Zhang Shan's aunt's family didn't deal with each other before, mainly because Zhang Shan's aunt Zhang Rong used to marry a worker Liu Xiu, so she looked down on Li Man and his wife who were still farming in their hometown. In addition, Zhang Gui's elder brother Zhang Fu has money in his family, so Zhang Rong naturally followed his eldest brother Zhang Fu and bullied Li Man and Zhang Gui's family.

But I didn't expect that in the thirty years of Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Zhang Rong's husband Liu Xiu also sarcastically ridiculed Li Man's family for not being able to eat and smoke (mainly because Zhang Shan doesn't like to eat and drink), but it has only been more than ten years, and Zhang Shan has become an unreachable existence for everyone they look up to.

People with ability and strength will be looked down upon anywhere. Therefore, although Xia Yu did not share the table with Zhang Shan, he still clearly heard Zhang Shan's uncle Liu Xiu's praise of Zhang Shan: "You see, I said before, Xiaoshan is a talented and good-looking person, and he will definitely be a person who will do big things in the future, so I will say that I have vision." ”

Xia Yu was eating, smiling in his heart, if Zhang Shan had no ability, then Zhang Shan's uncle Liu Xiu would definitely say: "A man, delicate like a girl, deserves to be looked down upon without ability." ”

Zhang Shan always maintained a modest and cautious style, raised a glass to his uncle, and said: "When I was studying in the county in the past, I thanked my uncle for taking care of me, and this cup of wine wished my uncle good health and a long life. ”

When looking at Zhang Shan's table of words and smiles, Xia Yu supervised the two sons to eat meat, Zhang Shan's aunt Zhang Rong looked at Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ming, and sighed: "Xiaoshan is still blessed, you see that you married a capable daughter-in-law, and gave birth to two smart and lovely children, as soon as I saw the two of them, I remembered when Xiaoshan was born." Hey, although their facial features look like Xiaoshan, they are not as fat as Xiaoshan when he was a child. ”

Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Yes, Xiaoshan had a chubby face when he was a child, and everyone called him a little fat man, but I didn't expect that now that I have grown up, I have grown into a melon seed face. ”

Zhang Rong looked at the two children and asked worriedly: "Sister, how did you raise the two grandchildren, the two grandsons can lose weight, when I used to take the grandchildren, I can raise them to be white and fat." ”

As soon as Li Man heard this, he began to say: "You don't know, since I had surgery, Xiaoshan and Xiaoyu have been filial, so they will take care of the children by themselves and let me have a good rest." ”

The meaning of Li Man's words is that the child's thinness has nothing to do with her, it is all her mother's fault. Zhang Yan looked at his own mother so shirking responsibility, Xia Yu's face was not good, Zhang Yan smiled and said: "Auntie, you don't know, my son is like my mother, although Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ming have facial features that are very similar to Xiaoshan, but my son is very similar to my mother, aunt, you don't know that Xia Yu's younger brother Xia Jie is the general manager of the Xia family farm, which is very famous in our county, about 1.85 meters."

My brother and sister have the ability and can earn money, so they directly hired part-time workers, and cooked for the children three meals a day with different tastes, and the two children liked it very much, and their bodies were strong and strong, and they rarely blew wind, colds, fevers, etc.

The people of their Xia family are all tall, Xiao Yuan and Xiao Ming are determined to grow strong in the future, this Xia Yu is also so tall, the two children inherited the genes of the Xia family in the future, and they must be tall, big and strong, which is completely different from when they were children. ”

As soon as Zhang Yan said this, he immediately earned back face, Xia Yu looked at his sister Zhang Yan gratefully, and Zhang Rong stopped picking thorns. Li Man only came back to his senses at this time, he had just come to this Hongmen banquet, Zhang Rong gave himself a horse, he couldn't fall behind, so he asked with a smile on his face: "Hey, sister, where is your Lin Min, why didn't you see her come over to eat together?" ”

Zhang Rong listened to Li Man's question, and immediately looked embarrassed, and said hesitantly: "She is not feeling well, so she rests at home." ”

Zhang Yan, Xia Yu and Luo Shishi smiled knowingly, God knows that Liu Haiping and his wife are getting divorced, this Zhang Shan's aunt's family has a lot of trouble, and there is still spare time to take care of the malnutrition of Xia Yu's two children, it is really salty and radish to worry about.

Just when Xia Yu was thinking like this, suddenly a man's crying voice came from Zhang Shan's table, everyone looked at it curiously, it turned out that it was Liu Haiping in front of everyone and then began to cry regardless of the image, Liu Haiping took Zhang Shan's arm and began to cry like a cry: "Brother, you don't know how hard I have worked over the years, I haven't studied much, I went out to work very early, when I was reclaiming land in Zhoushan, in order to save money, I insisted on coming back to cook for her when I was tired of becoming a dog, When she earns money, she is never willing to spend it herself, but she spends it.

In the past, when I made a lot of money, his parents' family treated me as a guest, and every year for the Chinese New Year, as long as I haven't go, their best bacon must be kept for me. Now in the past few years, I have had difficulty contracting the project, and she has been cold and violent to me every day, and she doesn't cook for me to eat, but I go home to cook for her. The two babies don't care, they only know that they are eye-to-eye with other men in the factory, and they have no courtesy, righteousness and shame at all.

For the sake of the baby, I put up with all this, but I didn't expect her to file for divorce. Brother, do you know, since she came to our house, she has always been treated as a princess, and she has never been wronged, and now I am temporarily in difficulty, she treats me like this, I feel bitter in my heart, I have been unable to sleep at night for almost half a year, and I have to endure her cold violence every day, I think this day is really unbearable. ”

Listening to Liu Haiping crying like this, Xia Yu sighed in his heart, Zhang Shan, his mother, he really didn't know how to be blessed in the blessing, the old lady never calculated him, he ate and drank well, and his baby actually dared to blame the old lady, pick the thorn of the old lady, go back to educate and educate well, look at his cousin's negative teaching materials, and compare with his cousin Lin Min.

Maybe it's because he has a heart, Zhang Shan actually looked over with his eyes, looked at Xia Yu lightly, and then comforted his cousin: "Brother, you have the ability, you will definitely make a lot of money, these are temporary, I believe you will definitely get through the difficulties."

As long as a man has money, you believe that women will come over, you have to be happy, make money well, start your career, and your cousin-in-law will have a good life with you. ”

As soon as Zhang Shan finished speaking, Liu Haiping began to cry again: "I also know that I have to do a good job, but I have no money and no way, I don't invite those people to eat and I don't want to climb relationships, how can they give me the project?"
