On the second day of the Lunar New Year, daughters-in-law must return to their parents' home and visit their grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings. This matter had nothing to do with Wang Zhaozhao five years ago.
Since she had grandchildren, Xie Ailian no longer goes back to her parents' home on the second day of the Chinese New Year, and lets her unmarried son go instead.
Because they also have a daughter to come back to.
Therefore, in recent years, Wang Sibing has been the only one who went to Old Xie's house to pay New Year's greetings.
"Zhao girl, go change into something nicer. Didn't you buy new clothes? I didn't see you wearing them yesterday..." Xie Ailian suddenly said to Wang Zhaozhao.
"Anyway, I can do this at home..." Wang Zhaozhao explained, but before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Xie Ailian, "Come with me to your grandmother's house today."
ha?
Wang Zhaozhao's facial features were wrinkled and his mouth opened wide.
She subconsciously looked at Wang Dahai and Wang Sibing. Why did they suddenly want to take her to her grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings?
"Is Grandpa going too?" She asked after a long while.
"If he doesn't go, someone has to stay at home. We can't let your aunt come back and lock the door, right?"
“…”Then why do you want me to go?
Wang Zhaozhao didn't ask. When Wang Sibing patted her head and asked her to change clothes, she went obediently.
It's Chinese New Year, don't get scolded for not wanting to pay New Year's greetings.
Besides, that was her grandmother's hometown. If she refused to go, how would the old lady feel?
When he got there, Wang Zhaozhao finally realized what was happening and almost slapped himself on the head and called himself stupid.
Why should we take her back to her parents’ home to celebrate the New Year this year?
Show off.
Wang Zhaozhao was a little speechless, but also somewhat understanding.
It can be seen from the lack of contact in recent years that this group of relatives are not very close and their relationship is average.
At least there has been little contact in recent years.
For something like Wang Sibing's engagement, normally his uncle should be present, but I don't know whether he was not invited or if he didn't show up.
"I really can't tell." After hearing Xie Ailian's seemingly modest but actually high-profile talk about Wang Zhaozhao, her second sister looked at Wang Zhaozhao with a critical eye and said with a snort of laughter, "Does this little girl have any material for studying?"
Are you polite?
If she just said it verbally, Wang Zhaozhao would just treat it as her fart, but when she looked her up and down at the same time, it was unpleasant.
Damn! She even called me Second Aunt.
However, if she directly retorted, she was afraid that she would be accused of being sharp-tongued and rude.
"The school has waived tuition fees at the beginning of the year. What do you think?" Xie Ailian snorted and laughed.
"I say... what's the use? She's still just a girl. She's going to get married in the future." The second aunt shook her head at Wang Zhaozhao.
Wang Zhaozhao silently took a candy from the plate on the table.
"What's wrong with the little girl? Second sister, you have three sons, but you are still eating your daughter?" Xie Ailian snorted in dissatisfaction.
Second aunt: "...!"
"That's also my skill."
"Yes, you are capable. You look down on your daughter and eat her food. You are really capable."
After Xie Ailian finished speaking in a sarcastic tone, she added righteously, "I don't dislike my granddaughter. If she can study, I will send her to school. I won't feel guilty about enjoying her filial piety in the future."
"So what if you're smart? You can't get into college. Even if you finish high school, you'll end up farming at home. Unless... can your Wang family get a place at the Workers, Peasants, and Soldiers University?"
"Maybe. Besides, if I don't go to college, I can go to the city and work in a factory. That's not bad either. I heard some factories recruit openly, and anyone with a junior high or high school diploma can take the exam."
"Humph! That still depends on the relationship."
"At least there are more opportunities."
“…”
The two old sisters started arguing with each other, and the people around them did not try to persuade them, but just watched the show.
Wang Zhaozhao peeled a candy and ate it himself, then took another one silently.
Seeing a pair of round eyes looking at her from the diagonal corner, she hesitated and handed the candy in her hand over.
The child hesitated for a moment, then timidly stretched out his little black paws.
Seeing that she couldn't catch it, Wang Zhaozhao stood up slightly, leaned forward, and put the candy in her palm.
When he returned, he took another candy.
Her action was not small and several people noticed it, or rather, someone had been paying attention to her.
"Grandma, this candy has a little orange flavor, try it." Wang Zhaozhao peeled off the candy wrapper and handed the candy to Xie Ailian's mouth.
Xie Ailian took it and patted her head lovingly.
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
Oh my god, her grandma is so kind that it makes her hair stand on end.
If you don’t know what to say, just laugh.
"Hehe..." Wang Zhaozhao grinned and stretched out his hand again.
When she picked up another candy, almost everyone present was looking at her and laughing even more. She took the candy, peeled it, leaned over the table, and stuffed the candy into the mouth of the child standing in the opposite corner.
She saw that the candy she had given earlier was taken away by the person next to her whom she wanted to call "aunt and grandmother".
"Is it sweet?" After sitting back, she asked the child from a distance.
“So sweet.”
"Be more aggressive. If you have food, just put it in your mouth. Don't hesitate. If you don't take a step, it will be gone."
“…”
The child looked around cautiously and didn't dare to respond.
Wang Zhaozhao shrugged and stopped making things difficult for the child.
"Sister-in-law, don't your grandchildren get any books?" Xie Ailian, with a sweet candy in her mouth, let go of her second sister and turned to her sister-in-law from her natal family.
"We can't afford it." Mrs. Xie answered with a half-smile.
"It's not the Great Famine anymore. At least we won't be hungry all the time now. You should still send us some books."
