There are a lot of pedestrians on the road, and it is estimated that they are all going to visit relatives for the New Year. Occasionally, a tractor passes by abruptly, which attracts the envy of passers-by.

But most of them are ox carts or on foot, and a few are bicycles.

After Zhang Lao Er reported to his parents, he slept well all night, and went to Zhang Guofu's house refreshed early in the morning.

"Second uncle, it's early. Looking for my dad? Zhang Mingzuo greeted him and pointed to the hall, "If you have any help with the banquet in a few days, you can squeak." ”

"I can't forget you." Seeing that he was following behind him, Zhang Lao Er didn't even sweep the yard, and smiled, "What about your brother?" ”

"I just went to my grandmother's and said it was snowing last night, so he didn't worry about going to take a look."

"Kiko did a good job."

Zhang Guofu had already heard the movement in the living room, and when he saw his daughter-in-law open the door curtain, he didn't stand up, and said with a smile when he heard this: "This is not how it should be." ”

"Second grandfather early."

As soon as Zhang Lao Er stepped into the living room, he saw the little radish heads sitting around the eldest brother, and smiled happily, "Ouch, little babies, have a meeting." ”

"Eat."

"Grandpa buys it."

The child's deliberately immature voice replied with different answers, which made Zhang Lao Er laugh, and quickly took out the candy from his pocket and handed it to them.

Looking at the little faces of a few children, their little hands are chubby, and their big black eyes are looking at you without blinking, so that Zhang Lao Er can't wait to take them home.

When will he have grandchildren?

Zhang Guofu looked at his younger brother with a smile, "Why did you come here so early today, there is something urgent?" If you don't come, I'll go to my parents' after breakfast. ”

Zhang Lao Er understands the meaning of his words, he can usually meet his parents, he has not come to the door for a while, and he will think about his nephews to review and come to visit the door.

"Daddy and Mom, there are too many people coming and going these days, and there are too many guests." Zhang Lao Er said and looked at the children.

Zhang Guofu stood up knowingly, asked his son to take care of his grandchildren first, and led him into the study.

"Mom, my second uncle is here, he is going to the study with my dad now, do you want to prepare an extra breakfast?"

In the kitchen, Huang Cuilan and her eldest daughter-in-law Gong Xiaoya were preparing breakfast for the family, and they were stunned when they saw the second daughter-in-law running in in a hurry.

Seeing this, Gong Xiaoya shook her head slightly at her younger siblings, "Mom, let's live here, you can rest first." ”

"Uh, okay, I'm going to see if the kids are hungry?"

Seeing her mother-in-law walk away absentmindedly, Zhang Mingzuo's wife Wei Qiulian frowned, "Sister-in-law, what's wrong with Mom?" Isn't it just an extra breakfast? ”

Gong Xiaoya glanced at her with a smile, "You don't think that your mother is so stingy that she can't bear a bowl of porridge, right?" She should be worried that the second uncle came over so early in the morning and had something urgent to find her father. ”

"She's ...... She doesn't understand their men's affairs, so what's the hurry? It's like a little guy who reports the news, and I wouldn't have said it if I had known. ”

Gong Xiaoya looked at the door, "Okay, you just have a number in your heart." Our mother-in-law is already good. ”

"I know, I'll just tell you, you don't know how annoying Xiaoxian and I are, she has already given us a look at recently."

Gong Xiaoya has spent a lot of time in the provincial capital since she got married, and she has little contact with her mother-in-law, so she was shocked when she heard the words, but her mother said that her mother-in-law is not a powerful woman, and she doesn't have to worry about living in a big house with them when she is old.

"Why didn't I hear you mention it?"

"What? She didn't say anything to beat and scold, and she didn't withhold rice and grain, she just waited for the man in the family to be absent from time to time, said some small words, and put on a face for us to see, who dared to say that her mother-in-law was not good. ”

"Fortunately, Dad's father-in-law is reasonable and broke up the family for us early. Otherwise, the money is in her hands, and she doesn't know how to live this life. ”

"Not to mention anything else, we didn't pass the exam this time, she seems to think that we are embarrassed, and she always talks about you and your eldest brother, or she is trying to exaggerate her sister's daughter-in-law."

Gong Xiaoya looked at her younger siblings sympathetically, she really didn't know about it. But she would never dare to interfere in this matter, and Mingyuan would never allow herself to say anything bad about her mother-in-law.

Why didn't she want to think about how the eldest aunt did it, and how the second aunt did it? How many people did my aunt push to the door during that time? As for her, it seems that she can't wait for someone to come to her door for advice.

Especially the cousins, sisters and sisters-in-law of my grandmother's family, who ran home twice in three days. It's taking care of the children again, it's relatives again, we have to go to work again, do we have time to review?

If Dad hadn't come back one day to get the documents and see them, it is estimated that those people would have been in our house for a long time. During that time, my head hurt when I heard those voices.

We don't dare to quit like a stone, but we can always ask for leave. She ran to my mom and muttered. It's as if I'm the daughter-in-law who instigated her son. ”

Gong Xiaoya couldn't help but chuckle, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" You're so stupid that you won't go to grandma? The people of the Huang family are most afraid of her! ”

Wei Qiulian shook her head, "How could you not have thought about it?" We still don't dare to say that there are too many things, and if grandma's temper intervenes, then we won't have the face to stay in this house. ”

After speaking, she lowered her voice, "And do you think that the two brothers have not mentioned their opinions to their mothers?" There was a time when neither of them would say a word to her, and I guess there was something going on inside. Didn't you see that when I went to the Huang family to pay New Year's greetings this year, the three brothers didn't bring us and their children to the door? ”

Gong Xiaoya blinked, "Didn't Mingyuan say that there are indispensable guests at home?" ”

Wei Qiulian felt a stump in her heart when she heard this. Alas...... How could she have forgotten that this sister-in-law believed in her man? At first, she thought she was playing stupid.

"Also, the Huang family seems to have done something together to make the relationship between the two families not very good. That's probably why they didn't let us go. ”

"Do you know what's going on?"

Gong Xiaoya shook her head while lifting the lid of the pot, "Ming Yuan won't tell me these things. But once I heard my grandmother and second aunt talk about leaking their mouths, it seemed to be related to my uncle. ”

Wei Qiulian smiled when she heard this, and stuffed a handful of firewood into the stove. Her mother's family is also a native of the county, why don't you know why the Huang family and the Zhang family are deadlocked?

But she didn't even say these things to Zhang Mingyuan, and she didn't talk much.

Gong Xiaoya pursed her lips and smiled, "Have you ever met Uncle and Aunt Mingzuo?" ”

"I saw it when I was a child, but I didn't see it much when they were admitted to college. They ......," Wei Qiulian paused, "They are very famous in the county, and basically everyone knows them. ”

"I've heard of the name for a long time, and I don't know when they'll come back?"

Gong Xiaoya said, suddenly heard footsteps outside, and quickly looked outside the door, her mother-in-law was walking this way, and immediately glanced at her younger siblings, "It's here." ”
