The daughter-in-law and daughter and son-in-law came back for the New Year, and the Qi family prepared a lot of ingredients.

Lin Ya cooked the meal and called his grandchildren to call everyone to eat.

In the hall, there is a steaming charcoal fire under the table, the table is bubbling with fragrant food, the windows of the hall are closed, and the table is square, and there is a bench on each side.

When everyone arrived, quickly close the door tightly to prevent a trace of cold wind from coming in.

Shut out the snowflakes and let them flutter on the roof, on the ground, on the plum trees.

In the hall, hot baking, rice wine and good dishes, chicken, duck and fish, cabbage vermicelli, the family eats together.

Soon after eating and drinking, Lin Ya pushed open the door of the hall, and the cold wind attacked, hitting Lin Ya's old face, and there was some pain.

The courtyard was snow-white, as if the whole world was silver-white, and the snow fell on the ground, so cold that people did not want to step on it.

Xiaoyu gave the child to Jiang Zhidong, helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks quickly, and followed her mother into the kitchen to help.

Lin Ya fetched the hot water in the pot and washed the dishes and chopsticks with her daughter, she glanced at the kitchen door that was closed and then asked.

"What's going on with your mother-in-law's house? I heard your sister-in-law say that you don't live in Jiang's house? Your sister-in-law and sister-in-law haven't seen your in-laws for a year?"

"Xiaoyu, tell your mother honestly, is it that the Jiang family looks down on us?"

Lin Ya had anxiety on her face, she actually had low self-esteem for that in-law.

In her cognition, people are from the capital Shang'ancheng, and Jiang's father and mother both have formal jobs and are registered in the city.

Hey, don't talk about anything else, let's just talk about a city hukou, it's not easy to want a city hukou now, not to mention that the Jiang family is a native of the capital city.

Some of them have capital that looks down on their own families and their native-born rural girls.

But as a mother, she hopes that her daughter can be recognized by her in-laws, no matter how rich, powerful and powerful the in-laws' family is.

"Mom, what do you want? ”

Qi Xiaoyu knows her mother's character very well, and there are some things that she doesn't feel necessary to tell her parents, so she won't say it.

I guess they won't understand, and even if they do, they will be worried.

"Mom, don't think about it so much, we live outside because it's close to my school, and I have to take care of my children, so it's convenient to go to and from school, besides, we still do business, and it's not good to live in my mother-in-law's house." ”

"Are you taking care of the children yourself? Won't your mother-in-law help you take them? How can you take the children to school?"

Lin Ya's face changed, and his heart became even more confused.

"Mom, you forgot? Zhidong has a job, but he hasn't retired yet, and besides, I don't want her to help me take care of the children. ”

"It's better for me to bring my own children, didn't my sister-in-law and my second sister-in-law come to do business together this year? ”

"Mom, don't worry about these anyway, next year the little potato will be 5 years old, and when it comes to the grade of school, I don't need to take it. ”

"Go to school? Little Potato Hukou is still in our village, can I go to school in the city without a hukou?"

Qi Xiaoyu thought about it, this is indeed a problem, she and Jiang Zhidong were divorced at that time, Jiang Zhidong was asking someone to transfer her and her children's household registration, but the marriage was divorced.

It's even worse, and this matter has been ignored because of the delay in doing business in the past two years.

"It's a big deal not to go to kindergarten first, Zhidong and I teach him by ourselves, and when he is 6 years old and I graduate, as long as I am assigned a job, I can sign a household registration and go, and my children can sign with me. ”

She asked about this by chance when she started school.

"Then your school agreed that you should take your child to class, the teacher didn't say you, and your classmates didn't say you?" Lin Ya frowned and wondered.

"We can't make the school teachers unhappy, and we can't have conflicts with our classmates. ”

Qi Xiaoyu shook her head, "Mom, don't worry, I asked the teacher in charge of this section of the school at the beginning of the school year, and I also got the consent of my classmates before I took my child to school." ”

"Really?" Lin Ya was a little unconvinced.

"Really. ”

Lin Ya glanced at her daughter, and wanted to say something more, but the eldest daughter-in-law and the second daughter-in-law had already pushed open the door and came in to help with housework.

Lin Ya changed the subject, "Hey, tell mom, how are you doing business?"

"Mom, didn't I tell you? ”

The eldest daughter-in-law interjected, Lin Ya was a little unhappy in her heart, she was asking her daughter.

"Business is okay, wait for the New Year to buy a truck, ask the eldest brother and second brother to take the driver's license test, you can go to help pull the goods, and we will open another store." ”

"Get a driver's license?"

Lin Ya was a little puzzled, she was a rural woman, and there were too many things she didn't know.

I don't know what driver's license to take to drive and what documents to get.

Qi Xiaoyu slowly explained to her, and she realized that this was the case.

But when it comes to doing business, let her son and daughter-in-law go, she is a little reluctant in her heart.

Before the two daughters-in-law went, the burden of housework and children at home was on her alone, if the two sons left again, what would happen to the farm work at home?

Father Qi is not young, where can a person do so much farm work? Even if she is a half-wife, he can't do it.

"You're all gone, what about the housework, what about the farm work, and the children? I'm too busy to do it alone. Lin Ya's face was embarrassed.

"Mom, I've thought about this for a long time, we can make money now in business, and we don't have to plant so much land at home, plant less, just enough to eat by ourselves." ”

"What's more, the eldest brother and the second brother are going to buy goods, but they don't have to be busy every day, and they can come back in advance to help when the farm is busy. ”

Qi Xiaoyu actually thought about it a lot, she also wanted to take her parents over and rent a set of idle farm yards to live in as a family.

At that time, the eldest brother and the second brother will drive a truck, usually pull a few times of goods for their own stores, and when they are free, they can cooperate with other stores to pull goods to make money, and at the end of the day, they can also save some gadgets from Guangxiu, such as toys, girls' jewelry, hair accessories, you can go to the stall and set up a stall.

Mom and Dad helped take care of the children and cooked.

However, some of the nephews and nieces have already gone to elementary school, and they do not have a local hukou in Shang'ancheng and do not go to school.

Now, no more than ten years later, there are many private primary and secondary schools, and you can basically go to school as long as you pay enough money.

"Mom, think about it, our ancestors have been farmers for generations, and we haven't become rich for several lifetimes. ”

"Mom, I know what you want to say, I also know that the land is our roots, the place where we eat, we will not lose it, but our family now has the opportunity to earn more money, let's try. ”

"Besides, our business in this store is really good this year, and we have made a lot of money, I don't believe you can ask the eldest sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law. ”

"But ......"

"Mom, listen to me first....."
