The tube building was not soundproof to begin with, and the sound of Chen Haoyu's fists and Zhang Fangfang's wailing soon attracted the gossiping people in the building.
"What's wrong with Chen Haoyu and his wife? Why are they fighting?"
Someone just squeezed in and heard the noise, then asked out of curiosity.
The people who went to watch the fun first were not stingy. They winked and pursed their lips in the direction of the Shen family and said, "Nuo, isn't that the one who came back? If you were to choose between Shen Jiao and Zhang Fangfang, would you regret it?"
The man understood instantly.
Some even slapped their thighs in empathy, "That's more than regret, that's regret to the point of turning intestines green."
The man smiled ambiguously again, "So now that you're back home, do you like this one?"
"That's not pleasing to the eye!"
"Get out of my way! All you bitches, get out of my way!"
At this time, a roar came from outside the crowd.
Zhang Fangfang's mother angrily pushed through the crowd and rushed in.
Zhang Fangfang's father followed behind.
"You're such a jerk, Chen Haoyu! I asked you to divorce but you refused, and now you dare to take action!" After Zhang Xianzhi rushed in, he picked up Chen Haoyu and punched him in the face.
Song Xiaoling looked at Zhang Fangfang's bruised face with heartache.
Oh my, she asked someone to find several rich and employed old bachelors for Zhang Fangfang to meet these days.
She was hoping that Zhang Fangfang's face would catch the attention of the old bachelor, so he could get some money as a betrothal gift to make up for the loss she suffered from selling her job!
Chen Haoyu was a weakling to begin with, and was soon beaten down by Zhang Xianzhi.
Zhang Xianzhi was so angry that he wanted to kick Chen Haoyu a few more times.
Song Xiaoling rolled her eyes and quickly stepped forward to stop the man. "Her father, stop fighting. I'll go get those people from the Chen family. It's time for our two families to have a good talk."
Song Xiaoling winked at Zhang Xianzhi.
Zhang Xianzhi understood instantly that the Chen family was now determined not to let Chen Haoyu and Zhang Fangfang divorce. If they didn't divorce, how could they marry Zhang Fangfang again?
Soon, Song Xiaoling slammed the door of Chen's house loudly. "Mr. Chen, I know you are all at home. Your son has the guts to beat my daughter, but do you have the guts to open the door?"
…
On this day, the Chen family and the Zhang family were particularly lively, which provided the family members in the compound with a lot of after-dinner conversation.
But all this excitement has nothing to do with Chen Jiao.
Chen Jiao and Liang Shumei prepared a hot pot together. The mutton for the hot pot was all freshly slaughtered and bought by Liang Shumei at the meat processing factory early in the morning. It was especially fresh.
The roast duck that Lu Zhengxu bought had crispy skin and tender meat. It was dipped in sweet bean sauce, wrapped in dough, and topped with crispy yellow guang and shredded green onions. Even a picky taste bud like Chen Jiao felt particularly satisfied.
Just as Chen Jiao and her family finished their meal, snow started falling outside.
Little Nannan looked at the falling snowflakes and jumped up with joy, and hurried to pull Shen Nancheng, "Grandpa, it's snowing!"
Even Lu Lingyang, who usually behaved like a little adult and never showed his emotions, had bright eyes when he looked at the flying snowflakes.
Shen Nancheng picked up the little girl with one hand and held Lu Lingyang with the other hand, "Come on, grandpa will take you to build snowmen and have snowball fights, and play until you are slippery!"
Snow may not be a rare sight for children in the north, but for children in the south, it is the eternal white moonlight.
Shen Nancheng took the two children out to play in the snow.
Chen Jiao didn't want to go out. It was too cold and she hated the cold.
In the end times, the extreme weather she hated most was when it was cold.
She just curled up on the sofa and read the newspaper.
In the past, in a small place like Dajiang Village, it was impossible to order newspapers, so Chen Jiao would go to the scrap yard to buy old newspapers to read, and it was inevitable that some of the old newspapers would be missing.
But because Shen Nancheng has the habit of subscribing to and reading newspapers, the Shen family’s collection of newspapers is particularly comprehensive.
Chen Jiao planned to take this opportunity to read the newspaper carefully, understand current political affairs, and prepare for the college entrance examination.
But before Chen Jiao could watch for a while, someone came to visit.
It was Aunt Cao who mentioned in the yard that Chen Jiao liked Chen Haoyu.
Aunt Cao’s husband is a first-level technician in the towel factory. Her son has now passed the assessment and become a second-level technician. Her daughter-in-law works on the assembly line in the factory.
There are three workers in the family, two of whom are in popular technical positions, which makes Aunt Cao particularly prestigious in the yard.
She brought two apples and half a pound of cakes to Chen Jiao, "Jiao Jiao, when you came back before, Auntie said something wrong, don't take it to heart."
As she spoke, she placed the things she had brought on the coffee table.
Before Shen Jiao could even respond, Aunt Cao fired like a machine gun, "Accountant Liang, Jiaojiao, the Chen and Zhang families were making such a fuss just now, didn't you go out to take a look?"
There was no need for Chen Jiao and Liang Shumei to say anything, as Aunt Cao told them everything that happened in the Chen family.
After she finished speaking, she slapped her thigh and said, "That Chen Haoyu is really a piece of shit. Fortunately, our Jiaojiao is smart and woke up in time. Look how handsome this young man you found is now!
Hey, Jiaojiao, what kind of job does your partner do? ”
Before Shen Jiao could speak, Liang Shumei said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, our son-in-law is in the army. Jiaojiao will come home to stay for two days, and then she will go with her son-in-law to join the army."
The smile on Aunt Cao's face immediately deepened. "Oh, Jiaojiao can join the army? So her boyfriend must be a high-ranking official, right?"
Although no one from the Cao family is in the army, they live in the North City and naturally know more about various aspects.
I know that in the army, only the families of cadres at the deputy battalion level and above and the families of veterans who have served for more than 15 years are qualified to accompany the troops.
Judging from Lu Zhengxu's age, he is not old enough to have fifteen years of military service, so he can only be a cadre in the army.
For someone who can become a cadre at this age, his future prospects are naturally bright.
Before, the people in the yard had heard Zhang Fangfang say that Chen Jiao was marrying a country bumpkin.
Haha, it seems that Zhang Fangfang simply snatched Chen Jiao's man away, and then became jealous of Chen Jiao's good marriage, so she deliberately slandered Chen Jiao's man in the compound.
Chen Jiao originally wanted to keep a low profile, but since Liang Shumei was happy, she just went along with her.
Aunt Cao told all the gossip she wanted to tell, found out what she wanted to know, and left happily.
As soon as Aunt Cao left, the smile on Liang Shumei's face lost some of its dignified elegance and became more gloating. "Jiaojiao, did you hear that? Chen Haoyu and Zhang Fangfang are probably going to get divorced this time. Ha, they bullied my daughter so much in the past, and now they are getting their retribution. They deserve it!"
Chen Jiao held her little face in her hands and looked at Liang Shumei with interest.
In the original owner's memory, Liang Shumei was dignified, elegant and low-key, but she felt that the Liang Shumei in front of her seemed a little different from the original owner's memory.
Liang Shumei felt a little embarrassed by Chen Jiao's gaze, "Jiao Jiao, why are you looking at your mother like that?"
Shen Jiao smiled and said, “Mom, you seem different from when I was a child.”
