Zhao Lanxiang prides herself on being smart.
I feel that after the family is divided, apart from the five yuan that must be given every month, the old couple can't even think about sucking their family's blood.
The situation in the past few years was not good. It was a big deal that the old He family did not owe the team money in the annual settlement.
The old couple couldn't bear to eat or wear anything, so they saved some money from the gap between their teeth.
When He Hongjin suffered a stroke earlier, even if the other two children brought in most of the money, the old couple had already spent almost all the money they had.
Zhao Lanxiang was about to separate her family at this time, and He Hongjin didn't give her a penny except for some family stuff.
Zhao Lanxiang refused to accept it.
He Hongjin was also direct in his words. If he wanted to share the money, there were quite a few in his family who wanted to share the debt.
Zhao Lanxiang became mute for fear of being blackmailed.
She made such a fuss and acted without any consideration for the parents.
When these things happened, Brother He didn't stop them a few times.
He Hongjin was completely disappointed with the boss and his wife, and the family was divided neatly.
After this time, the time has officially entered the 1980s.
With the reform of economic construction, the hometown has successively developed side businesses.
The old couple later relied on their adopted son and the couple to catch up with the spring breeze of reform and make money.
No more cents were given to Brother He's family.
Zhao Lanxiang is not convinced and is even more reluctant and unhappy, but who is to blame?
I blame her for being too arrogant. Her cleverness was misled by her cleverness, and she made a "game" for herself early.
......
One family is cold and the other is troubled, but the Fu family courtyard is still warm.
Tang Mei and Lu Yuanzheng were not around, so the main room was empty.
Fu Jingyou took the children to set off firecrackers and flying monkeys in the courtyard.
Afterwards, when he entered the house, he moved his chair and used coal blocks to draw an airplane house.
The three children were laughing and playing hopscotch awkwardly.
Fu Jingyou turned the TV button again, changed the channel and put on the plate of melon seeds.
Lu Miao was lying on the tire swing with a quilt on her back.
Sit over and eat melon seeds and watch TV with her.
At this time, there is no Spring Festival Gala.
But I listened to the TV chirping and the children making noise.
Even though the parents on both sides were away, the New Year’s Eve watch was extremely lively.
...
On the afternoon of the third day of the new year, Lu Yuanzheng and Tang Mei returned here after finishing their work.
The Fu family has no relatives here, so there is essentially no process of going out to pay New Year greetings.
But I made a lot of friends here, so I plan to run around.
Lu Miao couldn't move easily.
The people on her side who wanted to move around wrote their addresses, wrapped several portions of glutinous rice cakes in large pieces of oil paper, and asked Fu Jingyou to run.
Young juniors have the friendship of young juniors. They think of their friends, and of course the friends they are thinking of also think of them.
Ling Yuan brought something over.
Xie Fei also came, along with Xie Zhengguo.
The Xie family was carrying a lot of things, so they asked about Lu Miao's situation when they entered the house.
Lu Miao knew from looking at this formation that Xie Zhengguo's coming this time was somewhat of an apology.
She understood Xie Zhengguo’s arrangement of not letting Yang Yun come, but she did not accept the Xie family’s apology.
Lu Miao was in the room and did not go out.
Lu Yuanzheng had just heard her clamoring to pick strawberries in the main room. When he didn't see her coming out, he knew that she was too lazy to deal with it, so he found an excuse and said:
"You have to be squeamish. I’m feeling uncomfortable again today. Ignore her and drink tea.”
Xie Zhengguo had no choice but to give up and compliment Lu Miao with a dry smile:
“It’s not easy for the girl to get pregnant, so I can’t blame her, haha...”
Xie Zhengguo and Lu Yuanzheng were talking in the main room, Xie Fei, Fu Jingyou, Ling The three of them stood in the courtyard.
Among them, Xie Fei was left alone, and Fu Jingyou was pulled aside by Lingyuan. Lingyuan looked back and forth and said anxiously:
"Why don't they leave?"
"..."
Fu Jingyou's mouth twitched and asked:
"Just tell me what you want to do. "
Ling Yuan waved his hand: "It's useless to tell you this. You won't understand it. I have to tell Xiaobao."
Thanks to the family being here, Lu Miao will not come out.
Lingyuan is not easy to get in either.
What if Xie Zhengguo and Xie Fei go in with him?
Although he didn’t know what the twists and turns were, Lingyuan was quite afraid that Lu Miao would roll her eyes and sneer at him.
If he brings people in, Lu Miao will definitely not look good on him afterwards.
He still has something to talk to her about.
Except for this time, I’m sure there will be no time to beg her again in the future.
Ling Yuan refused to say more, so Fu Jingyou didn't bother to ask. He went to the kitchen to get a small basin, opened the curtain of the greenhouse and went to pick strawberries.
Ling Yuan followed behind him and said:
“Your shed was quite successful, ah, you even planted strawberries!”
Ling Yuan grabbed a strawberry and was about to put it into his mouth. Fu Jingyou kicked him and took it back in time.
Ling Yuan lowered his head and pulled at the big shoe marks on his legs, and said angrily:
“Why are you so stingy? It’s just a strawberry!”
My wife can’t even get a share of the strawberry! Fu Jingyou would definitely not give him two.
However, although he did not give him a strawberry, Fu Jingyou generously gave him a white radish.
Lingyuan didn't mind it either. Dian'er Dian'er took the radish to the well to wash it, then started eating it directly.
Staying up until noon, Xie Zhengguo and Xie Fei had lunch at Fu's house before going back.
Ling Yuan followed Fu Jingyou for a meal and waited until the others left before following Fu Jingyou into the house.
At about the same time, Xie Zhengguo, who had left Fu's house, glanced back and took his son Xie Fei to the alley. As he walked, he asked:
"Don't be fooled by you. Due to Mom's influence, it is only a matter of time before the economic policy opens up. If this little Fu has the courage to venture in first, he will not be too bad in the future...Ling Yuan gets along well with him, and you should have more contact with him. Our two families The relationship must continue..."
"There are many ways to continue a relationship, why do you have to do it this way?"
Xie Fei frowned in dissatisfaction:
"I'm so old, you have to take care of marriage and making friends. You still want to take care of it?”
“Just let it go! You should have more contact with each other, and you are indispensable for a few words. You are alone wherever you go, so you don’t need us to worry about it. How can we not worry about it?”
Xie Fei? Not willing to listen to his nagging, he walked ahead and got on the bus with a cold face.
Xie Zhengguo failed to catch up with the car and could only wait for the next one.
While waiting for the bus, Xie Zhengguo was very angry.
The child was really busy when he was young, but now that he is older, this damn kid won’t even listen to what he says.
......
On the other side, in the Fu family courtyard, Lu Miao was quite surprised to see Ling Yuan enter the room.
Fu Jingyou nodded and explained:
“I have something to ask you.”
Lu Miao looked at Lingyuan in confusion:
“What is it?”
Lingyuan glanced at the room.
Lu Miao is a good tidyer. She tidied the room more carefully than last time, and the furnishings looked bright and comfortable.
Ling Yuan admires his mother more and more.
He was absolutely right.
Lu Miao knows how to dress and has good taste. If he comes to find her, he will definitely find the right person.
“Xiaobao, didn’t I just get engaged?”
Ling Yuan didn't do any ink. He unbuttoned the two rows of his military coat, dug into the inner pocket and took out the money. (End of this chapter)
