Chapter 53

The Xu family had a reunion New Year without any trouble. At least, there was no unhappiness on the surface.

New Year's Day.

Brother Xu took the lead, and everyone else joined in wishing New Year's greetings to Mr. and Mrs. Xu.

"I wish my parents a happy new year and all the best!"

"May all your wishes come true!"

“You get younger as you grow older!”

"Give me the red envelope for your prosperity!"

Xu Jun's voice was the loudest. The family was safe and sound.

He just doesn't have a job and has no money!

"Give me the red envelope!"

Ping An didn't understand what was going on. He was still half asleep and dazed when he heard his uncle shouting for the red envelope.

He still didn't understand what the red envelope was for, but he also knew that since his uncle wanted it, the red envelope must be something good.

"Here, we have everything, we have everything, and we are safe too."

When Xu's mother looks at her children and her lovely grandson, no matter how sad and upset she is, she will slowly forget it. As a parent, her heart is soft.

Xu's mother took out the red envelopes and started with Dali and his wife, giving one to each of them.

“Thank you, Mom and Dad!”

Xu Di and the others thanked their parents in unison, feeling very happy holding the love from their parents in their hands.

"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma!"

Ping An tried to imitate him, and luckily, he didn't get the generations wrong.

"Big brother, big sister, big sister, second sister, happy new year!"

Xu Jun looked at his brother and sister, blinking his eyes, which was quite cute.

"Yours is indispensable."

Brother Xu took out a red envelope, Xu Jun took it and looked at his sister-in-law.

"Brother-in-law, you have had a great year this year!"

Mrs. Xu teased Xu Jun with a smile and handed him the red envelope. Xu Jun helped take care of the children a lot this year.

"Here you go, you're such a money-grubber!"

Xu Mei also took out a red envelope. Xu Jun smiled and said thank you, "Big sister," and took it without hesitation.

Xu Di was also prepared and quickly handed it over.

"What about me?"

Xu Jun was busy counting money. Ping'an looked at his parents and then at his aunt, but he didn't have any yet.

"Haha... Ping An, you've been taught a bad lesson by your uncle. This is from your aunt, I'll buy you some candy."

Xu Di gave out the red envelopes she had prepared. She had to go as it was time to go to work.

Ping An is so beautiful holding the red envelope.

Xu Mei also took out a red envelope and gave it to Ping An, who said sweetly, "Thank you, auntie!"

Xu Mei touched Ping An's head, which was quite cute.

One after another, everyone who went to work left, leaving only Xu Jun, Xu Mei and Ping An at home.

"Come on, everyone's gone, there are only three of us left."

Xu Mei glanced at Xu Jun. This boy’s eyes were filled with joy.

"Sister, what wedding gift do you want for your wedding? I have money now, I can buy you one."

"How much money do you have that you are willing to spend on me?"

"Why should I be reluctant? Aren't you my biological sister? I just don't have much money. You can't complain about the gift."

Xu Jun said it very naturally. He really wanted to buy a wedding gift for his eldest sister.

He knew that the bride would be very happy to receive the gift. His mother said that he and his older brother should protect his two older sisters and be their support.

Although in his heart, he is closer to his second sister, but his eldest sister was not adopted, so he should be nicer to her.

For some reason, Xu Mei suddenly felt sad when she saw Xu Jun's serious expression.

"Okay, big sister has money, keep your money to buy candy."

After saying that, Xu Mei hurried into the house. She wanted to cry.

"Uncle, buy some candy."

Ping An gave all the red envelopes to his mother. Without red envelopes, he can’t buy candy.

"Ping An, if we go buy some candy now, your grandma will come back and we'll be in trouble. Come on, uncle will take you to play with the bamboo dragonfly."

The uncle and nephew did not go out to spend money, but stayed at home quietly.

The third day of the Lunar New Year is a normal day of rest.

The Xu family was going to visit their grandparents. After Xu Mei came back, she hadn't gone to see her grandparents yet.

After breakfast, the whole family, including Ping'an, went to grandfather's house.

"Xu Mei is back, why did you come to see grandpa and grandma just now?"

"Just come, why are you the only one who talks so much?"

The person criticized by Grandma Xu was Xu Di's aunt Xu Xiaohua, a woman with a poor brain.

Xu Di's grandparents gave birth to six or seven children in total, and the only ones who survived were Father Xu, Uncle Xu and Aunt Xu.

Due to various reasons, more than half of the children died. Aunt Xu was the last child. She was weak when she was born and people thought she could not survive.

Unexpectedly, Lai Baba actually grew up.

Because he was weak since childhood and the youngest child of his grandparents, he was favored since childhood.

When she grew up, she fell in love with Yan Zhiwei from the same village, but Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu disagreed.

Yan Zhiwei has a stepmother in his family. After his mother died, leaving him and his sister behind, his father married a widow with a child and had younger brothers and sisters.

How could Grandma Xu agree to let her daughter, whom she had loved since childhood, marry into such a complicated family?

However, how could parents be stronger than their own children? Aunt Xu cried, made a fuss, and even threatened to hang herself, swearing to marry Yan Zhiwei.

She also threatened that if her family did not agree, she would carry the bag herself.

Grandma Xu was afraid that she would really do such a thing, and then she would be controlled by her in-laws for the rest of her life.

Finally, Grandpa Xu and Grandma Xu compromised and let them get married.

The days that followed were neither good nor bad. There were so many conflicts in the family, with so many people coming and going.

Fortunately, I married into my own village, and my wife's family is a well-known family.

Grandpa Xu was the accountant of the brigade, so the Yan family didn't dare to go too far and just dragged their feet and refused to split up.

Aunt Xu's family has three children, the oldest of whom is eleven or twelve years old, but her husband's family refuses to divide the family.

A whole family squeezed together, making noise every day, it was really lively.

More than ten years of marriage has turned Aunt Xu into a sour and mean woman. She has lost the delicateness she had at her parents' home. When she quarrels with her sisters-in-law, she uses foul language, all of which are different from the others.

Just look at her eldest brother and his family coming in all dressed up, and she feels uncomfortable.

Her sister-in-law is quite powerful, so she doesn't dare to provoke her. However, Xu Mei was a junior, so she couldn't say a word.

The Xu family's genes are quite strange. Xu Mei looks a lot like her aunt.

Aunt Xu was also a famous beauty in the surrounding villages. Many people came to propose marriage to her, but she didn't like any of them. She chose Yan Zhiwei anyway.

He was fed some drug.

Xu Mei looks like her aunt and has a similar personality.

However, Xu Mei has read a lot of books and understands a lot of things, which makes her different from her aunt.

Xu Mei was too lazy to pay attention to her aunt, and didn't even bother to reply. Anyway, grandma wouldn't let her aunt jump around.

"Dad, Mom, Xu Mei is going to get married when she returns this time. I came here today to tell you something."

Xu's mother was fed up with her sister-in-law Xu Xiaohua, who only had a nice appearance but no brains.

"What, getting married? What does the man do? Are you going to marry a local?"

Before Grandma Xu could say anything, Aunt Xu interrupted her.

"Xiaohua, please go home quickly. The noise here is giving me a headache."

"Mom, you don't like me anymore, do you? I just came back and you chased me away? Am I still your daughter, wuwu..."

Aunt Xu repeated the same old tune, she cried, made a fuss and then threatened to hang herself. She was very good at it and the tears came easily.

"Shut up. It's New Year's Day, why are you crying? If you want to cry, go back to your old Yan family and cry."

Grandma Xu was helpless with her daughter. She couldn't blame anyone else as she had not taught her well.

Seeing that her mother was really angry, Aunt Xu immediately stopped crying, stood aside and said nothing.

She wasn't leaving. Her second brother and his family were coming, and her parents' family would prepare the food. She would call her husband and children over soon.

If you don’t eat it, you’ll be missing out!
