"Supporting us along the way? You make it sound so easy. Do you even know how much the nation sacrificed to pay off its foreign debts? And how much help did you provide in return?"

Li Chunmei's tears fell instantly.

"Second Uncle, since you don't welcome our family to pay New Year's visits, then we'll be leaving now." Xia Jianguo pulled Li Chunmei out of the house.

Xia Xiaomei followed behind Xia Minmin, holding her hand. At the door, Xia Minmin turned around and said, "Second Uncle, you can't be biased. Doing this will only make the relationship between my family and my eldest uncle's family worse and worse."

"Dad, Jianguo and the others..."

Xia Jianguo stood by the roadside and used a handkerchief to wipe Li Chunmei's tears. "Don't cry. We'll come to your second uncle's house less often in the future."

After everyone composed themselves, they set off for the next place.

"Dad, is this Uncle's house?"

"Yes, it's the house of that uncle who helped you find your dad yesterday."

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, I heard laughter coming from inside the house, which was completely different from the desolation of the house above.

"Uncle, Happy New Year."

"Happy New Year, Uncle."

Happy New Year to all my brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers and sisters!

"Jianguo, Chunmei, Happy New Year, little sister!"

"Sister Chunmei, judging from your appearance, you just went to your second uncle's house?"

"Um."

"Don't pay attention to your second uncle. He's just like that. He thinks he's superior because he has a good job and a good family background. He's biased and he expects others to be biased too."

"Exactly, their family is a complete mess, yet they still have to meddle in other people's business."

"Uncle, after the New Year, we plan to take my little sister to work in Shenzhen."

“Okay, I heard before that my little sister wanted to go out to work. I was a little worried because she has never been far from home before. I feel much more at ease if she goes with you.”

"Brother Jianguo, wait for me in Shenzhen. I'll come over in two years."

"OK!"

It was already evening when we left Xia Minmin's uncle's house.
