After Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang had lunch at Uncle Zhao's house, it was already past one o'clock in the afternoon.

They said that they would go to Xiao's house for one night first, and then go back to their home in the town for two days before going to the provincial capital on the second day of the second year of junior high school, and then left in the old van.

Wu Julan also chased them out and told them that when they passed by the town, don't forget to go to the house to bring the box of New Year's goods.

She didn't want to go to her ex-husband's house to show off, but wanted her cousins to feel that her daughter was filial to her elders.

In this way, even if there is a conflict between father and daughter one day, even if the elders are not on the side of their daughters, they will not stand on Xiao Jianhua's side.

By the time the sisters arrived at their hometown, it was almost four o'clock.

In the morning, the sky was clear, but in the afternoon it was gloomy, and the cold wind whistled and seemed to carry a few snow particles.

Therefore, in the village, except for a few children who are not afraid of the cold and play outside to smash fireworks, almost all adults are gossiping at home.

Of course, there are exceptions.

For example, when the Xiao sisters returned home, there were two tables in the hall with double buckles, one table for the father and one table for the stepmother, and there were large or small denominations of money in front of the people seated.

When it comes to money, everyone is excited and nervous, and it is a hot scene, and it is estimated that no one will feel cold.

Most of the people sitting here were from the village, and the sisters of the Xiao family carried a bottle of wine and a cigarette specially bought for Xiao Jianhua, as well as a large bag of dried longan and dried lychees, and shouted over one by one by one uncles and aunts.

lest the stepmother tell the people of the village that their sisters had come back empty-handed.

Some people praise them for being more beautiful, having sweet mouths, and being filial to their parents, and carrying so many good things home with big bags and small bags while they are still studying.

When Xiao Jianhua saw his daughters coming back, he complained to them first: "Have you forgotten your surname Xiao, and you don't know how to go home for the New Year, it's really unusual." ”

He thought in his heart that the storefront in the provincial city was bought by Zhao Laosi and asked his two daughters to help take care of it.

And the people working in the store must also have people from the Zhao family, and they will not rest assured that they will all let their sisters take care of it, and Zhao Laosi must be afraid that the store will be hollowed out by the Xiao sisters.

What he was most dissatisfied with was that his two daughters did not come back for the Chinese New Year.

It wasn't the Xiao family's new house, so why did he let his daughters stay in the provincial capital to make fun for them?

He decided that Zhao Laosi had made some money and bought their sisters.

It is also possible that Wu Julan deliberately wanted to make herself angry and insisted that her two daughters stay by her side.

Anyway, this made him very unhappy, so he would complain when he opened his mouth.

Xiao Hong and Xiao Fang also complained by him, anyway, they are also used to going in and out of the left ear, just as he is chanting, he will not lose a piece of meat when he listens.

After he finished speaking, Xiao Hong made a sincere statement, and then spoke: "Dad, I want to go and worship my grandparents." ”

When Xiao Jianhua heard this, he couldn't help but glare at her again: "If you don't come back early, we will go to the grave early in the morning." ”

However, for Xiao Hong who wanted to worship his lost mother, Xiao Jianhua still got up very face-saving and let the person who watched the cards replace him.

He took out the tomb lamps, incense, candles, and firecrackers, and went with them to worship at the grave in the back mountain.

In fact, Xiao Jianhua was quite satisfied with their proposal to worship their grandparents, which showed that Xiao Hong was not ungrateful, and he had not forgotten how much his mother loved Xiao Hong when she was alive.

Anyway, he was jealous of his mother's eccentricity, and he was much better to Xiao Hong than to himself.

It's obviously Xiao Hong's fault, but it's always herself who is scolded by her mother.

Therefore, on the way back from worship, Xiao Jianhua's attitude towards them was much better, and he was also concerned about their academic performance, and he had the idea that he didn't want his ex-wife to remarry, and it was impossible for him to love husband and wife, so he couldn't help but secretly inquire about the current situation of Zhao Laosi and Wu Julan.

Xiao Hong resisted the urge to roll her eyes, pointed to the clothes on her body, and deliberately said in a show-off tone: "Uncle Zhao is very good, he gave us a red envelope of 1,000 yuan for the New Year, and bought us new clothes, from head to toe, and spent hundreds of yuan?" ”

Let you ask, and I'll make you doubt life.

She knew that her father was cautious, so she couldn't see that her stepfather was more generous than him.

So he deliberately said this, to see if he would give them a big red envelope for the sake of face.

It's not that she is greedy for his red envelope, but even if she nominally follows her mother now, when he is old, according to the law, he still has the obligation and responsibility to support his father.

Then the money he gives himself now, and he will keep it for him later.

Xiao Jianhua looked at the clothes on their bodies, Xiao Hong was wearing a blue down jacket, and underneath it were jeans of the same color and off-white cotton leather boots.

Xiao Fang wore a pale pink down jacket and blue jeans, and light brown cotton leather boots on her feet.

The sisters are originally white, and their facial features are also very good-looking, although they are not stunning, but they both have a refreshing and pleasant bookish atmosphere, which can make people's eyes shine.

And then there's the fact that they are really fashionable in this dress, and they look like city kids.

At this moment, Xiao Jianhua smiled with great satisfaction, feeling worthy of his own clock, which was better than the girl in the city.

So he took out two red envelopes from his trouser pocket and handed them to them, thinking that each red envelope was only 200 yuan.

Now it's not a small amount to go to relatives to pack five yuan and ten yuan, but he is for his two daughters to go to school, so it seems to be less.

Especially Zhao Laosi's shamelessness, and being so generous to his two daughters, it seems that his own father looks like a stepfather.

He could only say something nice: "Now that there are more tractors in various villages, I am going to buy a minivan this year, so I will give you 400 yuan first, and when you and I earn money in the future, I will give you more pocket money." ”

When Xiao Hong arrived home, she noticed that Liu Meijuan's long hair was cut short, dyed burgundy, and curly hair, which looked very fashionable.

And their mothers and daughters are also wearing new clothes, and it is estimated that they have made a lot of money selling lo-mei fried chicken.

Although lo-mei was taught by Xiao Hong, he still kept a hand in private when he taught.

It's a pity that the current customers are really good to deal with, and the pursuit of taste is not too rigorous.

In addition, they have also figured out the method of fried chicken, even if it is only seven or eight fractals, it is enough to attract customers.

Not to mention, they also hired a master who can make roast duck and braised duck, and now the business of the store is better.

Xiao Mengqiu had told them before that the second uncle had called her father and said that he had bought two stores in the town and was going to open another wholesale department.

Now that Xiao Hong heard that he was going to buy a small passenger car, he knew that they earned a lot last year.

Of course, if you really open a wholesale department and buy a small truck, you will have to pay at least 50,000 or 60,000 yuan, and I don't know if they want to take out a loan or have another way to borrow money.
