"Guoqiang, how do you feel today?" Xie's father asked Xie Guoqiang.
Xie Guoqiang looked exhausted, but he was extremely energetic. "Uncle, I think I can do it!"
"That's good, that's good. From now on you can follow Axiao and the others to do business," Xie's mother smiled when she heard this and was very happy for her nephew.
Lin Xiangyi helped Xie Qingxiao take down the pot and asked Xie Qingxiao if he was tired. Hearing this, she smiled and looked at Xie Guoqiang: "Are you tired? We have prepared the meal. Guoqiang, why don't you eat something before going back?"
As soon as Xie Guoqiang entered the door, he smelled the strong aroma of meat, and his appetite had been aroused. However, he felt that he had already troubled Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi enough today, and Lin Xiangyi was unable to do business. How could he stay and take advantage of them?
He hurriedly said, "No, my family must have left some food for me. I'd better go back and eat it to avoid wasting it. My mother and my wife are probably waiting for me to come back anxiously."
Lin Xiangyi thought so and said, "Okay, then you go back first and come back tomorrow."
"Okay," Xie Guoqiang said with a smile. When he saw Sun Lanjun in the main room, he said hello to her and went back.
Sun Lanjun had already coaxed Xiao Ni. She was quite surprised after overhearing the conversation between Xie's father and mother and Xie Guoqiang.
Business? What business?
Xie Qingxiao and the others went to do business?
As soon as Xie's father, Xie's mother, Xie Qingxiao, and Lin Xiangyi returned to the main hall, she couldn't wait to ask.
This matter could not be concealed, and there was no need to conceal it, so Xie's mother simply told Sun Lanjun that Xie Qingxiao, Lin Xiangyi and others were going to the county town to do business.
After hearing this, Sun Lanjun was stunned, and then delighted.
They should be able to support themselves by doing business, right? They won't come to their house to take advantage of them anymore, right?
After thinking that the possibility of Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi asking them for money had decreased, Sun Lanjun's expression towards Xie Qingxiao and Lin Xiangyi became much softer, and she no longer cared about Lin Xiangyi's harsh rebuke to Xiao Ni just now.
But Xiao Ni became a little afraid of Lin Xiangyi because of the scolding she just gave her.
Xie's mother picked up a dish she didn't like for her and she wanted to throw it away, but Lin Xiangyi took a look and she didn't dare to throw it away.
Lin Xiangyi: “…” Was she too fierce just now?
After dinner and a shower, Xie's mother was surprised to find Sun Lanjun enjoying the cool in the yard. In the past, when she came back, she would always want to stay in the house for 24 hours.
Sun Lanjun wanted to hide back in the house, but there was no way. The house was too hot. Unlike in the city, they could not buy electric fans, so she could only sit in the yard.
So the city is still better, there is nothing in this crappy countryside!
Lin Xiangyi usually sits in the yard and chats with Xie's father and mother. Today, when she saw Sun Lanjun was there, she went back to the house.
Xie's mother knew that Lin Xiangyi was a person who had a clear distinction between likes and dislikes, and she was probably impatient to deal with Sun Lanjun, so she didn't call her.
Mother Xie played with Xiao Ni for a while, and then she remembered what Lin Xiangyi said this morning that the country might take measures to control the population.
She looked at Sun Lanjun, hesitated for a moment, and said, "Old man, don't you still want a son?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Lanjun looked at Xie's mother in surprise, but at the same time she was extremely happy.
The old woman can't sit still anymore. She's finally going to give birth to a grandson, right?
Sun Lanjun really wanted a son. Although she was a city dweller, at this time, most people, whether in the city or in the countryside, were still obsessed with having a son.
Sun Lanjun was no exception, and she felt that Xie's mother was no exception.
She has been married to Brother Xie for more than five years and has given birth to a daughter, Xiaoni. Xiaoni is almost four years old now. Logically, she still wants a son, so she should be preparing for pregnancy now.
But Sun Lanjun will not take the initiative to give birth. She wants to wait for Xie's father and mother to speak up!
The reason is a bit complicated.
When she was pregnant with Xiaoni, she and Brother Xie both had jobs. She was a teacher and her job was less busy, but Brother Xie was a postman. Although the salary and benefits were good, he had to run around all the time and had no time to rest.
So when she was a little older, Xie's mother took the initiative to put down her work in the fields and go to the county town to take care of her while she was giving birth. From then on, she lived in the county town until Xiaoni was two years old.
In addition to taking care of Xiaoni, she is also responsible for three meals a day for their family of three.
After living together for a long time, the conflicting ideas between Sun Lanjun and Xie's mother gradually emerged, but it was bearable because Xie's mother would usually give in in the end.
But she became more and more displeased with Xie's mother. The main reason was that Xie Qingxiao had dropped out of school and couldn't find a job... or he hadn't found a job at all, and was unwilling to work in the fields, so he just wandered around the city every day.
And just at this time, Xie's mother asked her for living expenses, which had never happened before, so she assumed that Xie's mother asked for living expenses to help Xie Qingxiao -
She never thought that Xie's mother had taken care of her in the county town for two and a half years. Not only did they not give her living expenses, but even the food money was paid by Xie's mother. Xie's mother endured for two and a half years, and only asked her for money when she really had no money left.
She was afraid that she would have to support Xie Qingxiao in the future, so she let Xie's mother return to the village.
From then on, she entrusted Xiaoni to her biological mother during the day and picked her up at night. However, her biological mother also had to take care of her grandson and could not watch over Xiaoni all the time.
Xiao Ni was at an active age at the time and often got bumped into things, which made Sun Lanjun very distressed.
Once, Xiao Ni got a scratch on her forehead, and Sun Lanjun had a big fight with her mother, which made her mother so angry that she said she would not help take care of the child anymore.
She brought Xiao Ni to school, which delayed a lot of teaching work. The school leaders called her over and criticized her.
