"Hello auntie." Xue Kui greeted politely, and then began to take things down from the car.

Aunt Zhang circled around the Maserati, and her mouth still made a 'tsk' sound from time to time, and finally couldn't help asking: "Xiao Xue, this car is not cheap, right?" ”

"Okay."

Xue Kui smiled and didn't talk much, thinking that this Aunt Zhang usually doesn't interact with the family much, why is there so much talk today.

Aunt Zhang saw that Xue Kui was busy taking things, and she also came over to help get them.

"Auntie, I'll just take it myself, don't bother you!"

It was the first time Xue Kui had seen Aunt Zhang so enthusiastic, in his memory, Aunt Zhang rarely came to his house, and when his mother Wang Guilan asked her for help a few times, she was not very reluctant.

Even if everyone maintains that little bit of neighborly affection on the surface, there is no deep friendship.

"Guilan, look who's coming!"

Aunt Zhang walked to Xue Kui's house with her things in her hands, shouting as she went, leaving Xue Kui behind to take down the rest of the things.

Wang Guilan was cooking in the kitchen, but when she heard someone enter the yard and call her name, she quickly put down her work and walked out.

"Sister-in-law, what is this for?"

Wang Guilan was stunned for a moment when she saw Aunt Zhang walking in with a gift box in both hands, and couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.

In her impression, the woman in front of her had not been so enthusiastic for a long time.

Before her husband's death, the relationship between the two families was not bad.

But when her husband died, Wang Guilan wanted to ask her for help when she was in difficulty, but she always refused.

In this way, the relationship between the two families became more and more separate, and finally became a nodding friend.

"I see that Xue Kui is back, and I bought you so many things, so I'll help you get them."

"Xue Kui is back?"

Before Wang Guilan finished speaking, she walked to the door, still muttering: "Why doesn't this kid come back without saying a word!" ”

"Mom, I'm back."

Xue Kui was carrying things in large and small bags, and he couldn't carry them with both hands.

Wang Guilan smiled and took some things to help take them home, and said with some disgust: "Don't say a word when you come back, or I'll make dumplings for you to eat." ”

"Guilan, let's bring Xiao Xue to our house to eat later, we have a lot of dumplings at home, I thought I would send you some just now, just when Xue Kui came back, they all came to our house to eat."

Aunt Zhang said with a smile, if people who don't know see it, they will think that it is neighborly harmony and help each other.

"Sister-in-law, I won't bother you, I'll cook here too."

Although Wang Guilan smiled on the surface, she thought in her heart: "I've never seen you so kind before, let alone let us go to the house to eat dumplings, even if you borrow a head of garlic from your house, it's not happy!" ”

"Auntie, let's go today, my mother cooked, I'll eat at home. Thank you for your kindness. Xue Kui also refused.

"Alright then, I'll have to come to the house for a meal another day."

Aunt Zhang saw that the mother and son had no plans to eat, and she couldn't help but feel a little regretful in her heart, so she said a word to the two and went home.

After Xue Kui saw the people leaving, he closed the door of the house.

When he finally went home to rest for two days, he didn't want to think about which neighbor would come over like a rarity when he came to the house.

"Why do you buy so many things and spend a lot of money!" Wang Guilan said that she was distressed about money, but the smile on her face never stopped.

"Isn't this going to buy some souvenirs and come back for you to taste?"

Xue Kui threw his coat onto the sofa and sat down himself.

After driving for more than 5 hours in a row, he was a little tired, and he didn't want to move as soon as he sat down.

"Mom, what are you going to eat at night?"

"As for the pancakes, you can rest for a while, and it will be fine for a while."

Wang Guilan's voice came out of the kitchen, and Xue Kui was not really idle. As soon as he heard that there were pancakes to eat, Xue Kui came to the kitchen in a hurry.

"Wash your hands and eat if you don't have them!"

Seeing Xue Kui reaching out to take the freshly baked cake, Wang Guilan scolded with a smile, but did not stop it.

"Siha, huh~, huh~"

The freshly baked cake was very hot, and Xue Kui was pouring the cake back and forth with both hands and blowing it, so it didn't feel so hot.

"There are no pancakes in the school, and I haven't eaten them for half a year."

Xue Kui spoke, pulled a corner from the cake and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Whew, whew"

The hot air exhaled from Xue Kui's mouth, floating in the somewhat dry and cold air, forming a small translucent white mist and then quickly disappearing.

This is the first time that Xue Kui has felt the warmth of home.

He quietly leaned on the kitchen door frame, looking at Wang Guilan who was making cakes, and was full of emotion.

At this time, Wang Guilan was only in her 40s, but because she did some rough work all year round, the skin on her hands looked very wrinkled, and it was far heavier than her age.

"Mom, are you busy with work right now?" Xue Kui asked pretending to be unintentional.

"I'm not busy, I'm not tired from work, you don't have to worry about me."

Wang Guilan continued to bake the cake, turned her head and asked, "You are busy at school, you have to go to class and start a company." ”

"I'm okay, not too busy."

Xue Kui helped Wang Guilan cut the freshly baked cake into the shape of a corner and placed it on a plate.

While eating, Xue Kui pointed to the gifts and said, "After eating in a while, let's go to the second uncle's house and give them these things." ”

"Your second uncle has helped us a lot over the years, and a few days ago he came to the house behind your aunt's back and secretly gave me 5,000 yuan, saying that you spend a lot of money in college, and I said that you don't need money now, but your second uncle has to take it." Wang Guilan said.

After Xue Kui's father died, his father's relatives cut off contact.

Of the relatives on his mother's side, only his second uncle Wang Puyuan helped their family for a long time.

Wang Puyuan's own job is to work in the Land Bureau, and later because of his work, he met many coal bosses, so he followed the coal boss to turn the coal mine business and made a lot of money.

In those years, it was popular for people in small counties to go to big cities to buy houses, so Wang Puyuan used his spare money to buy two properties in Yanjing City and Jinmen City and rent them out.

Later, the coal mining business was not good, so he gave up the coal mining business to concentrate on work.

At this time, the rise of the real estate industry, and the price of Wang Puyuan's houses in Yanjing and Jinmen also rose.

Yanjing's house was 800,000 when it was first bought, and now it has risen to 8 million.

The house in Jinmen was originally bought for 600,000 yuan, but now it has risen to 3 million.

This directly led to the monthly rent of the two houses increasing several times.

It is no exaggeration to say that these two houses alone can bring Wang Puyuan about 10,000 yuan a month, and with the work of the Land Bureau, his monthly income is about 14,000 yuan.

This is a properly high income in the county.
