Geng Huihui's plan was ruthlessly exposed, and her cousin felt bad and went out to watch the excitement.
When she got outside the door, she saw Zhang Xiaoming wearing old clothes. Although they were clean, the cuffs were fluffy. Geng Huihui couldn't help but go back to the house to report: "Uncle, Uncle Zhang and Aunt Zhang are really not particular about it. They don't even remind Xiao Ming to buy it when there are weddings at home." A new set of clothes.”
Geng Zhiye: "I bought it. Xiao Ming and his partner went to the department store to buy it over the weekend a few days ago. I heard what your aunt said. Maybe someone in the Zhang family said there was no need to wear it so well, so he didn't take it out."
Geng Huihui was shocked: "Is he so obedient?"
Geng Zhiye sometimes feels unbelievable: "He said that everything is going well with the family, and the family doesn't have to worry so much."
Geng Huihui sighed: "I hope Xiao Ming's partner is powerful, otherwise Zhang Xiaojun can coax all his money away."
Zhang Xiaojun planned to make his brother spend more money while getting married. Unfortunately, Zhang Xiaoming said hello to his parents and went back to his and Zhang Xiaodi's bedroom. When Zhang Xiaojun came back from get off work, Zhang Xiaodi was also out of school. As a result, Zhang Xiaojun always Can meet his little brother.
Zhang Xiaodi glanced coldly, Zhang Xiaojun was so frightened that his legs were trembling and he dared not say anything, so that Zhang Xiaoming was confused and asked the younger brother if the second brother was okay. Zhang Xiaodi fooled him and said it was okay, then asked him if the money he earned was in his pocket, and reminded him not to forget to take it out when changing clothes.
Zhang Xiaoming said he couldn't forget it, and then took out a handful of money from his pants. Brother Zhang frowned and said, "Why don't you put the money at Sister Ye's house and ask her to get it when you save money on Saturday. Brother Geng is not at home, and it will be very troublesome for her to take care of the children in class and settle accounts every day."
Zhang Xiaoming believed that going to school was more important than making money. He was afraid that Ye Fan would deteriorate in his studies because of this, so he told Ye Fan later.
Zhang Xiaojun didn't give up. When Zhang Xiaoming was alone, he asked him if he had any money and lent him a few dollars to buy candies. Zhang Xiaoming rummaged through his pockets and found one dollar and thirty-five cents. Zhang Xiaojun was so angry that he didn't want anything.
Although Zhang Xiaoming was slow, he also realized why his second brother was looking for him several times. Zhang Xiaoming was very sad, because of his own slowness and his second brother's dissatisfaction.
Zhang Xiaoming also knew his problem - he was soft-hearted and soft-hearted, so he didn't have more than one yuan in his pocket before going home. With these few cents, I secretly stuffed a few cents into Little Brother Zhang's pocket every day, leaving him to go to school to buy candies. He thought that his younger brother was only focused on studying and didn't realize that he had more money.
Zhang Xiaojun thought that Zhang Xiaoming gave the money to his parents, so he supported his wife's request for entry money.
Geng Huihui heard that the bride was coming, so she ran out and saw Zhang Xiaojun coming back with the bride on his bicycle. The neighbors asked the bride to get off the car, but the bride sat motionless on the big bar.
Good guy! Geng Huihui suddenly became energetic, returned to the door of her house and shouted: "Benben, Dabao, Erbao!"
Geng Zhiqin stood up: "Third brother, go watch the fun."
Dabao was the first to run out, and when he heard the bridegroom saying, "Give me two hundred yuan to buy a gold ring," Dabao opened his mouth in shock. Erbao, who came out later, saw this and asked: "Are there many?"
Dabao whispered: "My sister-in-law sells popsicles in the park every day, and she only gets one hundred and sixty in one summer vacation."
Erbao's eyes widened: "Does she love money more than her brother?"
"Who are you insulting?" Dabao was very unhappy, "Brother loves money and makes good use of it."
The second treasure is not as fond of making money as the eldest son, because the money earned by the eldest son will be used by his sister, and the second treasure does not have to worry about money. Erbao realized that it was not appropriate to say that she loved her brother, so she took his arm and said, "Brother, I was wrong."
Dabao patted her on the head and saw his father slowly coming out: "Dad, do you want it?"
Geng Zhiye: "You have to ask Uncle Zhang."
Dabao dragged his sister to the door of Zhang's house and heard Uncle Zhang's voice coming from the courtyard: "Twenty yuan!"
The bridegroom was swaying with laughter, laughing at the Zhang family for sending beggars away. Zhang Xiaoming's face turned red when he saw people laughing at their family's embarrassment. He wanted to pay for it, but Zhang Xiaodi pushed him: "Take your relatives to the restaurant."
Zhang Xiaoming instinctively asked: "Now?"
"Is it eleven o'clock?" Zhang Xiaodi asked without answering.
Zhang Xiaoming felt the same and asked in the courtyard: "Dad, are you going?"
Uncle Zhang waved his hand, and Zhang Xiaoming asked his relatives to follow him to the restaurant. Yu Wentao was afraid that she would say something she shouldn't have said, so she said to her neighbors, "Let's go too."
Neighbors of the Zhang family all know that even if Zhang Xiaoming can make money, he has four unmarried children and plenty of money to spend, so there is no way he can afford these two hundred yuan. The end result was predictable: the neighbors lost interest and left with their relatives. Then the only people left in this alley were the neighbors and the woman's family who stayed at home to eat.
Brother Zhang didn't go, he leaned against the wall and watched his second sister-in-law work.
The woman wearing a wedding dress and holding a bouquet couldn't get off the stage. Her face turned red with anger and she threatened Zhang Xiaojun: "Send me back!"
Zhang Xiaojun was panicked and shouted into the room: "Dad!"
Uncle Zhang came out, without a trace of smile on his face: "You give 40 yuan a month to your family, and you have 25 yuan left. If you have a meal in the factory at noon, I will give you ten yuan, which is five yuan a month." There is still ten yuan left in pocket money. It has been three years since you got your official salary, and you can’t afford two hundred yuan?”
Aunt Zhang was very panicked: "Old man, you——"
"Are you rich?" Uncle Zhang interrupted his wife.
Uncle Zhang was afraid that he would use the money indiscriminately, so he saved enough money for the family's living expenses and emergencies every month in the bank. At the moment, the whole family could not scrape together two hundred yuan. Aunt Zhang couldn't agree and asked in a low voice: "How about I go -"
"Don't go anywhere!" Uncle Zhang said, "I only have fifty yuan, if you don't want to go back!"
The bride is very stubborn: "Let's go!"
Zhang Xiaojun was anxious: "Dad, how will you explain to your relatives if we don't go?"
Uncle Zhang: "Your brother doesn't plan to have a wedding when he gets married. Let's treat it as your brother's wedding this time. I'll do it for you after you get married."
Dabao pulled his father's hand, raised his head and asked with his eyes: "Is this possible?"
Geng Zhiye touched his son's head to tell him to calm down.
The bride thought that Uncle Zhang was threatening her, but it seemed that she was afraid of returning to her parents' home, so she decided to spend more time. However, Uncle Zhang was too lazy to glare at her and dragged his wife back to the house.
Half an hour later, Zhang Xiaoming ran back and asked: "Dad, what should we do?"
Uncle Zhang: "Are all the relatives and neighbors gone?"
Zhang Xiaoming nodded.
Uncle Zhang said: "Ask Xiaozhi and Xiaofen to go there too. You eat first."
"But they are all waiting for the newlyweds to toast." Zhang Xiaoming added.
Uncle Zhang said: "You have a drink with your relatives."
Zhang Xiaoming hesitated for a moment: "Dad, how about I find Geng——"
"What should you do? Don't go find someone else if you have nothing to do." Uncle Zhang said something unpleasant and looked very serious. Zhang Xiaoming was afraid that his father would be like this, so he got out of the house in fear and went straight to the hotel.
When the bride saw that she really wasn't needed at the wedding banquet, she was so angry that she burst into tears and asked Zhang Xiaojun to take her home. The people giving away the wedding did not dare to laugh or shout, but instead advised the bride to calm down.
The bride thought that she had never been so embarrassed in her life. She had to fight for her reputation even if she didn't steam the steamed buns, so she wanted to go back.
Zhang Xiaojun looked at the people seeing off relatives and asked them to make up their minds. The couple who were giving the wedding suddenly found that Zhang Xiaodi was still watching outside. They thought he was watching for his parents - they were worried that they would really leave, so they said: "Let's go!"
When they arrived at the alley, Brother Zhang didn't ask them to stop. The bride's people were so embarrassed that they were thrown into the grandma's house. They became so angry that they left.
Back at the woman's house, the woman's parents scolded Zhang Xiaojun for not knowing how to borrow money from a neighbor. They also said that his father would not dare not pay back the money he borrowed.
Zhang Xiaojun and his wife were so focused on fighting with their elders that they never thought of this. But it's too late to go back now. Zhang Xiaojun asked his mother-in-law what to do. The mother-in-law said that her in-laws would come to pick her up, and she would not go back unless they came to pick her up, and then asked Zhang Xiaojun to go back alone.
Zhang Xiaojun cried when he got home. He had never been so embarrassed in his life. Aunt Zhang cried with him. Uncle Zhang looked at the couple with cold eyes, tears streaming down their faces.
—
On weekends, there are so many children in the park and so many students on the street that the food is sold out before twelve o'clock. Ye Fan didn't plan to go back in the afternoon. His cousin in Yujia Village thought he could come again in the afternoon, so he went back to the village to pick up candied haws, and Ye Fan went home.
When Ye Fan arrived home, Geng Huihui chopped meat fillings and Geng Zhiqin made noodles. Ye Fan didn't need to do anything, so she went back to the main room to rest. Ye Fan felt incredulous when he heard Dabao vividly describing how tough the bride and her family were.
Ye Fan couldn't help but ask Geng Zhiye: "Zhang Xiaojun's wife is so powerful, what is her background?"
Geng Zhiye smiled: "You would care about a gold ring?"
Ye Fan thought about herself. If her husband's family prepared three turns and one ring, her mother would definitely prepare a refrigerator, fan, and TV. Any of these three items can be exchanged for several gold rings, and there is no way she will be asked to pay for getting out of the car.
Ye Fan: "Then what's going on with this marriage?"
Geng Zhiye said: "The Zhang family cannot bow their heads. There are still two sons who have not married. Uncle Zhang bows his head. Are you not afraid that the eldest daughter-in-law and the youngest daughter-in-law will imitate the same thing? When the husband-in-law of the two daughters sees that the Zhang family agrees with this approach, who dares to marry her? Two?”
Ye Fan thought that Uncle Zhang was worried that his second daughter-in-law would ride on his neck and defecate, so he refused to give him two hundred. He didn't expect anyone else to say, "You're right. Xiaofen will get married in two months. If her husband's family misunderstands that the Zhang family supports her daughter-in-law, With this approach, her marriage will probably fail.”
Geng Zhiye nodded: "Zhang Xiaofen is one year older than Zhang Xiaojun, so we can't delay it any longer."
Erbao was very confused: "Mom, is the bride very poor?"
Dabao couldn't help but say: "You idiot Erbao. Very poor people can't afford to wear wedding dresses."
Ye Fan was surprised: "Still wearing a wedding dress?"
Geng Zhiye was surprised when he saw the bride in pure white and Zhang Xiaojun in a suit: "Yes. She rented it when it became popular in the second half of the year. Xiaoqin said it was better than buying a red suit - the one you wore when we got married. Expensive.”
Ye Fan: "The Zhang family will pay?"
Geng Zhiye: "Money provided by Zhang Xiaojun."
"You can really do it." Ye Fan is not opposed to wearing a wedding dress, but he also has to look at his own situation. Zhang Xiaojun spent all the money he had saved to get married, and he will not be able to make it back in the future.
After hearing this, Geng Zhiye realized: "A gold ring costs dozens of yuan, and she wants two hundred yuan. The money Zhang Xiaojun saved will not be destroyed by them, right?"
Ye Fan supported Geng Zhiye's shoulders and stood up: "Captain Geng, you guessed it right."
Geng Zhiye took her hand and asked, "Why are you going again? Aren't you tired from being busy all day long?"
Ye Fan: "Go to the bathroom. Do you want to go?"
Geng Zhiye got up and went to the toilet with her. Dabao rolled his eyes speechlessly: "Are you still a primary school student? Hand in hand on the toilet."
Erbao: "Primary school students don't hold hands either."
Dabao choked and raised his hand: "Should I hit you?"
Geng Leilei quickly separated the two children.
Ye Fan's family had dumplings at noon. Geng Zhiqin and Geng Huihui prepared a lot of ingredients. Ye Fan, Geng Zhiye and Ben Ben helped wrap them. After wrapping, they cooked half of the dumplings for lunch and put the other half in the refrigerator for Ye Fan and Yu Wentao to cook when they didn't want to cook.
After dinner, Geng Zhiqin packed up the clothes washed in the washing machine last night, and then took his eldest nephew and niece back to school.
Ye Fan asked Geng Zhiye: "When will you go back?"
Geng Zhiye looked at his watch: "Four o'clock."
Only one hour left? Ye Fan said, "Then just rest and I'll help you pack your luggage."
Geng Zhiye followed Ye Fan to help.
When Dabao saw that he and his sister were no longer in the eyes of his parents, he took Erbao and dragged his cousin out.
Dabao was shocked when he saw Yu Wentao at the door: "Grandma is back?"
Yu Wentao came over: "I'm back early. Grandma is chatting with someone." She took out all the candies and melon seeds in her pocket, gave some to each child, and then went to chat with someone outside Zhang's house.
Geng Leilei couldn't laugh or cry. He was so old yet he still ate candies and melon seeds at the banquet. Geng Leilei stuffed melon seed candies into Erbao's pocket.
Dabao was only interested in fighting and scolding. When he heard his gossip, he asked his brother and sister to go play in the west.
At four o'clock, Ye Fan accompanied Geng Zhiye to the bus stop. Geng Zhiye pulled Ye Fan onto the bus and asked Ye Fan to accompany him to the township bus station. From there, he took the last bus directly to the school gate.
At first, Geng Zhiye didn't know that he could take the bus to the township bus station, and he forgot to ask his classmates if there were buses to the city. When he came home from school for the first time, he foolishly ran three or four kilometers before finding the bus stop sign.
Ye Fan asked him what he was going to do if he didn't find the stop sign. Geng Zhiye explained seriously that he had calculated the driving distance and it was eleven kilometers, so it was not impossible to run back.
Ye Fan was speechless on the spot.
Ye Fan was also speechless at this moment: "It will be dark when I come back."
Geng Zhiye: "Are you getting off at the next stop?"
Ye Fan rolled his eyes at him, stayed in the car with him for half an hour, got off the car and took the return bus across the road.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he heard a bang and looked around. Zhang Xiaojun pushed the car out and rode away.
Yu Wentao and the neighbors were still chatting in the alley. Ye Fan waited for Zhang Xiaojun to go away and then came to them and asked: "Going to pick up his wife?"
Yu Wentao: "It's useless for Xiaojun to go. I just asked Xiaofen, and Xiaofen said that his parents would be picked up over there."
Aunt Li scolded: "What a treason! This is the first time in my life that I have seen a junior asking his elders to bow their heads."
Ye Fan persuaded her to calm down and asked, "Zhang Xiaojun didn't go to the wedding banquet today?"
Aunt Li shook her head: "Xiao Ming was so busy that he almost cried. We have never had such a quiet wedding banquet in our lives."
Yu Wentao couldn't help but say: "It was quieter than the day when your father-in-law was buried and our relatives who stayed away from us had a meal."
Ye Fan cursed, what a metaphor. "Xiao Ming is at home?" Ye Fan changed the subject.
Aunt Li nodded: "Tell his parents, if Xiaojun really takes her back, don't be angry with her. By the way, Dabao's mom, is Xiaoming still going to the village?"
Ye Fan: "Originally I said we would go there as usual in the evening."
Yu Wentao immediately said: "Let me ask you." When he arrived at the gate of Zhangjiayuan, he shouted: "Xiao Ming, are you going to the countryside?"
The courtyard was very quiet. Yu Wentao thought it was inconvenient for him to answer, so he went to Ye Fan and said, "Wait a minute."
More than ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaoming came out carrying a military green satchel, which contained toiletries and clothes for tomorrow. "Sister Ye, does the car still have gas?"
Ye Fan: "Put the oil barrel in the car. If there is no oil halfway, add more. By the way, check the tires and bring a pump and tire repair tools."
Zhang Xiaoming went to Ye Fan's courtyard and checked the brakes again to make sure they were all fine. He found a raincoat and a raincloth in case of a sudden rain on the way, and then drove out of the city. Ye Fan saw that it was getting late and asked his mother-in-law to go home.
Yu Wentao had a good lunch and said she wasn't hungry, and Ye Fan wasn't too hungry either, so he used a rice cooker to cook porridge, cut up a few freshly harvested potatoes, and fried green pepper and potato shreds with eggs.
After dinner, Ye Fan checked his schoolbag and Dabao and Erbao's homework. They had all written down, so Ye Fan asked them to go out and play for a while.
After Ye Fan washed up, he asked the kids to come back and take a shower.
Erbao's apple-shaped hair easily got wet when bathing and washing her face, so Ye Fan wiped it half dry for her and let her go back to the house. Erbao was lying on the bed reading various books of interest. He forgot to turn off the light as he fell asleep. Ye Fan pushed the door open, covered her with a quilt and turned off the light before going to rest as usual.
After three days of this, Ye Fan, an old man from the computer department, ran out of patience to prevent him from getting irritated when he saw the computer in the future. Ye Fan went home directly after finishing the ancient language class in the afternoon.
It was already four o'clock when he got home. Zhang Xiaoming was chatting with Yu Wentao in Ye Fan's courtyard. Ye Fan sent the textbooks to the house and came out to wash his hands. By the way, he asked: "How is the business?"
Zhang Xiaoming: "Follow Aunt Yu to the gate of Erbao School later."
Ye Fan: "It's not sold out at noon?"
Yu Wentao: "The candied haws brought over in the morning are sold out. Your cousin goes home for lunch, so someone else comes over to help him carry a box. Xiao Ming will give him a dollar for shipping."
Ye Fan: "It should be. Otherwise, even if my uncle and uncle don't care, my two cousins will have objections as time goes by."
Yu Wentao couldn't help but nodded in agreement.
Her family used to be poor, and her uncle and uncle didn't do much to help her family. At that time, every household had no money or food, so she could understand why her family didn't help her family, but she still felt awkward when thinking about the past, subconsciously thinking that her two cousins had the same virtue as her uncle - being petty!
Ye Fan wiped his hands and said, "I'll go pick up Erbao."
Yu Wentao: "You can go, too. Shall I roll the noodles?" Before Ye Fan could say no, she complained, "Dried noodles are very unpalatable."
Ye Fan laughed: "Is there anyone selling wet noodles in the market?"
Yu Wentao shook his head: "I haven't seen it before. Maybe it's too troublesome and no one makes the noodles."
Ye Fan: "In the future, it won't be a problem if there are more vegetable sellers on the street and the business in the vegetable market is not good."
Yu Wentao: "It's best this way. You won't have to stand at the meat stall for a while and think I'm in the way."
Zhang Xiaoming heard this and said: "If you don't have any meat at home, tell me in advance. I will send it over and sell it near the teacher's apartment."
Ye Fan looked at the time on his watch: "Xiao Ming, you can go."
There was only one box in the car. When Ye Fan saw this, he got into the car and asked Zhang Xiaoming to take her there.
A few minutes after arriving at the school gate, Zhang Xiaoming's eyes lit up and he whispered: "Sister Ye, that is my partner Dong Ying."
Ye Fan had never seen Zhang Xiaoming's partner yet. Following his gaze, he saw that the lesbian looked about thirty years old, with fair skin and a thin figure. She looked tall. In fact, she was a little shorter than Zhang Xiaoming, and she was definitely shorter than the Jiang Ping introduced by Cheng Zhenhua. high.
The lesbian looked at Ye Fan and was embarrassed to pretend to be blind. She walked over slowly and called: "Sister Ye."
Ye Fan smiled and asked: "I heard from Cheng Shitou that your daughter is in the first grade of this school?"
Dong Ying said "yes" and asked: "Are you here to sell candied haws?"
After a while, Zhang Xiaoming had already taken out a few strings of candied haws and stuck them on a piece of foam. Ye Fan saw her glance at the candied haws and said with a smile: "No. Come and pick up Erbao. The little girl is playful and no one urges her to play until she eats."
As soon as he finished speaking, the bell rang, and then a kid ran out.
The school is a sacred place, and Zhang Xiaoming is embarrassed to shout. But he has been here several times, and the students all recognize his car. A group of rich little classmates went straight to the candied haws. The sharp-tongued children even exaggerated that Xiao Ming's candied haws are as delicious as those sold in department stores.
Ye Fan took the opportunity to say: "We grow the hawthorns ourselves. We pick them one by one when cleaning them. We also boil the maltose ourselves. It is definitely better than the ones made in the factory."
The aunt who was about to coax her granddaughter to go home for dinner heard this, stopped and asked: "Didn't you go to the factory to wholesale?"
Ye Fan said without answering: "Isn't it true that speculation is not allowed? All the things we sell are produced by ourselves. Do you want to buy one? There is no bad fruit. Unless it is broken inside, it cannot be seen with the naked eye."
This kind of situation is rare, and the aunt rarely encounters it. After hearing this, she will naturally not deliberately argue. And she saw that her granddaughter wanted to eat, "Give me a skewer. What is wrapped on it?"
Ye Fan: "It's the edible glutinous rice paper inside candies. It makes it clean when wrapped."
The old lady thought it was cleaner than the ones sold in small shops near her home, and she didn't have to worry about getting dusty when she took it home, so she ordered two bunches and bought one for her grandson.
Ye Fan found Dong Ying leading the child over and handed her a small skewer. Dong Ying said "no", and Ye Fan gave it to the child, "Every time Xiao Ming brings Dabao and Er Bao over, they try it. No one dares to gossip about the business between Xiao Ming and me, so feel free to eat."
Dong Ying asked her daughter to say thank you. The little girl whispered "Thank you". This child has a shy personality, which may be caused by his single-parent family. Don't blame Dong Ying for choosing a partner based on character rather than family background - such an introverted child would be frightened out of his wits if he met a stepfather with a loud voice.
Ye Fan smiled and said: "You're welcome."
Geng Erbao ran over and hugged Ye Fan: "Mom, will you pick me up today?"
Ye Fan took her schoolbag: "Are you happy?"
"I'm so happy." Erbao looked at Dong Ying, "Are you a friend?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "Xiao Ming's friend."
Erbao wanted to ask why she hadn't seen it before. Suddenly thinking of a possibility, the little girl covered her mouth and smiled, and asked in a low voice: "Girlfriend?"
Ye Fan laughed and said to Dong Ying: "This is my family's clever ghost, whose nickname is Erbao and whose real name is Geng Jingjing."
Erbao was not shy: "That's right. Sister, what's your name? I'll come and play with you later."
The little girl hid behind her mother. Dong Ying explained: "She is timid. Her name is Dong Fangfang. The sky is round and the place is square. She is in Class 2, Grade 1."
Erbao nodded to take note of it, and accidentally saw that Zhang Xiaoming was very busy. She ran over: "Xiao Ming, you collect the money, and I will help you get it." She climbed to the car and opened the box of summer popsicles and asked the schoolmate: "How many hawthorns do you want?" ”
Almost all senior students knew Geng Erbao and asked: "Geng Erbao, what is your relationship?"
Geng Erbao: "Cooperative relationship. The candied haws on a stick belongs to my mother and Xiao Ming. I guess you must want small bunches."
The schoolmate didn't pay attention to Geng Erbao's first two sentences at all. Who in the whole school didn't know that she didn't say a word of truth, "Are you trying to provoke me on purpose? You succeeded, I want the biggest one."
Geng Erbao said to him: "You won't lose money if you buy my candied haws. Give me money, give me money!"
"Stingy guy." The schoolmate handed Xiao Ming a dollar.
When Zhang Xiaoming saw how much money a primary school student had, he said, "Didn't your mother buy you notebooks and pens?"
"There's so much to worry about." The little boy asked him to change the money quickly.
Geng Erbao: "Xiao Ming is worried that you will be beaten when you go back. A dog bites Lu Dongbin and does not recognize a good heart."
The little boy pointed at Geng Erbao: "Get down here!"
Dong Ying heard this and asked: "Would you like to go over and have a look?"
Ye Fan shook his head: "It's okay for children to fight. Our nature has changed in the past." Seeing Dong Fangfang clinging to his mother's clothes, two words flashed in his mind - bullying, and he deliberately said more, "Follow a few It’s different for a classmate to deliberately bully Erbao.”
"Why did you deliberately bully me?" Dong Ying didn't understand.
Ye Fan shook his head: "There aren't many reasons. I just think you are honest. Students with bad behavior will block you and make fun of you as soon as get out of class is over. But my second treasure is so powerful that no one dares to tease her." Looking towards the second treasure, Geng Erbao stood there. In the car, I put my hands on my hips and said, "Come up if you can."
The little boy quickly backed away, worried about being kicked by her: "Get down!"
Erbao squatted down and said, "Childish!" and continued to help Xiao Ming get the candied haws.
The little boy suddenly felt like he was being punched on the cotton, "You - you are childish!"
Erbao nodded: "I'm a child, what's wrong with me?"
"Then you still call me naive?" the little boy asked.
Erbao: "I'm naive, so I can't call you naive? My mother said, I'm ugly, but I can still call you ugly."
"You are ugly!" the little boy blurted out.
Zhang Xiaoming couldn't help but be happy. His smile made the little boy realize that he had been led astray by Geng Erbao, and he became even more angry: "Geng Erbao, you are unreasonable!"
Erbao: "You can be unreasonable."
The little boy was going to be pissed off.
Ye Fan couldn't stand it anymore and asked Dong Ying: "Do you want to go back first or wait for a while while I go over to take a look?"
Dong Ying: "Let's go back first."
Ye Fan nodded and walked towards Erbao: "Help Xiao Ming sell candied haws!"
Erbao got up and shouted loudly: "Candied haws~~ sour and sweet~~ If it’s not sweet, it doesn’t cost money~~~"
Dong Ying couldn't help but stop and look back at Erbao with her little hands on her hips, just like the organizer who called on the proletariat to unite to resist oppression many years ago, and wondered how Ye Fan's daughter was taught.
On Saturday afternoon, Dong Ying took her daughter back to her parents' home. During dinner, she couldn't help but say that Ye Fan's daughter was amazing.
The Dong family asked someone to find out about Zhang Xiaoming's situation, including the years when Zhang Xiaoming was in the countryside. People were afraid that Zhang Xiaoming would be dishonest and have a child there, but they broke up with someone and they didn't report him, so he was able to return to the city.
Zhang Xiaoming had no problem in the countryside, so the Dong family checked on him in the city, so naturally they couldn't avoid Ye Fan. The Dong family is also in Xicheng and is going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy things. Therefore, they also know that the cheap and high-quality seafood sold by the supply and marketing cooperative comes from the south, and it was Ye Fan who brought it here.
Mother Dong said: "Ye Fan is not simple, and the children raised by himself must not be simple either."
Dong Ying heard from her brother and sister-in-law that Ye Fan was not a biological child of the Ye family, and couldn't help but ask: "Where is the other one?"
"I have no problem getting into college." Mother Dong said, "I heard that Ye Fan is not as considerate as Ye Fan because he was not taught well there. But it doesn't matter. She and Ye Fan haven't been back to Shanghai in the past few years. Just cut off the contact, don’t worry about it.”
Dong Ying stopped asking about Ye Fan: "Sister-in-law of the Cheng family said that Xiao Ming makes a minimum of 100 per month. Is selling small things so profitable?"
Dong’s father and Dong’s mother don’t know.
Dong Ying's third brother and third sister-in-law lived with her parents-in-law. When her third sister-in-law heard this, she said: "I asked the people at the supply and marketing cooperative that it is not profitable to make ten or twenty bunches of candied haws. The more you make, the more money you make. They said the cost of making hundreds of bunches is If you sell it for fifty yuan, you can make half of it. But why is Ye Fan so smart doing such a small business?"
Dong Ying's mother has retired a long time ago. She often went to the park near Ye Fan's house to inquire about Zhang Xiaoming. Afraid of being too obvious and being seen by others, I started with Ye Fan. When Dong's mother heard her daughter's doubts, she said: "Geng Zhiye is studying in the military academy and she is in college. She is afraid that something will happen that will affect the couple's future."
Dong's father: "I don't know if several special economic zones can be established. It's better to be stable at this time. In a few years, practice will prove that reform and opening up are successful, and it won't be too late to build a big one. It's never too late for Ye Fan to make money whenever he has the ability."< br>
Dong Ying's third sister-in-law asked: "Then Zhang Xiaoming doesn't need our help, how can Ye Fan afford to support Xiaoying and Fang Fang even if he just gives it to him?"
Father Dong nodded.
Sister-in-law Dong Ying asked again: "When will Zhang Xiaoming's parents come out to meet and have a chat?"
Dong Ying immediately said there was no rush.
Dong Ying's third sister-in-law: "Zhang Xiaoming's height and appearance are not outstanding. There are some of our relatives and friends who can make more money than him, but not many of them have good character. Who is your age and not yet married but has a bunch of girlfriends?"
Dong Ying couldn't help but think of her father's comrade's son. He was tall, tall and smart, but he changed his girlfriend in March. Not to mention that Dong Ying has a child. She can't stand this even if she is unmarried and has the energy to cope.
Dong Ying’s ex-husband’s cousin was in a state-owned enterprise, and all the lesbians of his age had dinner with him. Some people noticed that he was carefree and did not finish a meal, and many people had sex with him.
In the future, she would take her daughter to a department store and meet her husband's ex-girlfriend within three steps. Dong Ying would get goosebumps just thinking about it. There are also gay men who are clean and self-sufficient. But such people, like Geng Zhiye, got engaged or married early, and it is not her turn to have a harmonious relationship between husband and wife.
Relatives of the Dong family also thought that Zhang Xiaoming's family background was too poor, and even claimed that Dong Ying looked better than Zhang Xiaoming with her eyes closed.
Dong Ying had seen many people who were much better than the Zhang family before, but they all had objections to her taking the child. It's like Zhang Xiaoming never asked her why she didn't give her child to her ex-husband. These few times he saw her, he would buy something, such as candies and biscuits. Dong Ying looked down on the bargains he bought, but Zhang Xiaoming at least remembered that she had a child.
But Dong Ying still couldn't help complaining to her parents about Zhang Xiaoming's ability to live. Dong's mother had experienced many years of hard life and could understand Zhang Xiaoming, so she advised her daughter that Zhang Xiaoming had just made money but had not yet learned how to spend it. This is also the reason why Dong Ying doesn't want to meet her parents so soon.
Seeing that her daughter was unable to refute what her daughter-in-law said, Dong's mother said, "Then let's do it again? Let's talk at the end of the year?"
Dong Ying: "At the end of the year. The two families are meeting now. It would be inappropriate for me not to go when his sister gets married in a few days. I don't want to go."
Zhang Xiaoming told Dong Ying what his brother did. Dong's mother often went to Gongyuan Ye and heard people say that Zhang Xiaojun's wife was a slave. Dong's mother was very confused: "Zhang Xiaoming's parents are honest, how come one of his in-laws is more powerful than the other?"
Her third daughter-in-law smiled: "Indeed, you are also amazing."
The old lady couldn't help but laugh, "I was just worried that Xiaoying would be wronged if she married in the future."
Her daughter-in-law said: "With you here, who would dare to bully her? If Xiaoying can't come forward, you, as the elder, can't argue with the younger generation. We sisters-in-law will go over and support Xiaoying."
Dong Ying couldn't help but thank her sister-in-law.
Her third sister-in-law said: "Don't think so much, it's good to relax."
Dong Ying: "Then shall I go out with him tomorrow?"
"Don't need to sell candied haws?" asked her third sister-in-law.
Dong Ying: "Changing leaves on weekends."
Her third sister-in-law immediately said: "You go with him. You don't like the work in the kindergarten. If you can train yourself, you can help him in the future. Zhang Xiaoming's brain business will easily suffer losses. Ye Fan can't keep an eye on him all the time."< br>
Dong Ying's strong personality does not mean that she can be shameless and sell things. But to find such a partner, you have to take a step forward, so I went directly to Ye Fan's house the next morning.
Ye Fan had just taken out the clothes from the washing machine and saw that she didn't react for a moment. When she arrived, Ye Fan remembered and asked, "Xiao Ming's home is in the east."
Dong Ying: "It's not time to meet his parents yet. Is he coming back soon?"
Ye Fan looked at the watch on the window sill: "It'll be a few minutes."
There was a noise outside, but Ye Fan didn't pay attention. He suddenly thought that her mother-in-law was outside: "Go inside and sit for a while. I'll see who is doing what outside."
