…
She took a day off on May Day and did not return to Hebian Village. Wang Zhaozhao had an exam in June, and Xie Ailian and the others were even more nervous than she was.
Since they didn't go back, Wang Xingwen and the others naturally didn't go back either, and Wang Jingjing didn't go back either.
So, the next day Zhang Xiu'e ran into the city to see her.
I don’t know if Zhang Xiu’e really didn’t expect it or was just pretending. She only had one day off and came the next day. Wang Jingjing had naturally returned to school.
After lunch, Xie Ailian took Zhang Xiu'e to school. During the lunch break, she asked the guard to help call Wang Jingjing to meet her at the school gate.
"Mom, is this a bad idea? It will affect Jing's nap, right?" Zhang Xiu'e asked.
"Didn't you come to the city specifically to see her? Didn't you think about these issues before you came? It's not appropriate to say it here now." Xie Ailian gave her a cold look.
"What I mean is, why not go there after school? I can pick her up and play with her..."
"Oh!"
Xie Ailian interrupted her with a sneer.
"That way, you'll miss the last bus back home! Also, boarding students need to go through the formalities with their teachers if they want to leave.
If you want to take her out to play, you have to ask her to ask for leave from her teacher."
"I'm her mother. I'm here to pick her up and play. Do I need to go through the paperwork?"
"Nonsense! Isn't the school responsible for her safety?
You said you are her mother, how would the teachers at school know if you are her mother?
Even if you are her mother! Of course, you still need to go through the necessary procedures to take her out. What if you sell her off and then ask the school to release her?"
“…”
"Either you meet her through the school gate, or you go back now."
"Mom, look, I came all the way here just to see you..."
"I'll let you do it. If you delay and miss the bus back to the village, you can stay in a guesthouse by yourself tonight. You don't have a certificate, right? If you can't stay in a guesthouse, then sleep under the bridge!"
Zhang Xiu’e: “……!”
Xie Ailian chuckled twice, "Today is only Wednesday. She only came to school from home on Sunday afternoon and will go back on Saturday afternoon. She didn't go back yesterday because it was the May Day holiday. Why did you have to come here today..."
I didn't want to say too much at first, but the more I spoke, the angrier I became, and Xie Ailian finally let out all the blame.
"You made this special trip here, not to go directly to school, but to come to Fourth Brother's house specifically to have lunch. You came empty-handed!
Just pick some peppers and a handful of green beans and carry them over, isn’t that a good idea?
You usually act so virtuous and good at being a good person in the village, but when you come to your own brothers' place... and pick a few peppers for them, you feel like you're being taken advantage of, right?
Humph! You're still planning to stay here for one night? You're quite nice. "
Zhang Xiu'e's expression changed several times as she listened.
She really didn't think too much about it, it just came out as it came.
Seeing her like that, Xie Ailian just snorted and laughed.
"Even if you are unreasonably blaming the fourth and fourth sons because the second son didn't go to the city, wasn't it the fourth son's wife who helped Jing transfer to the county primary school?
Jing Yatou returns to the city every Sunday afternoon and always has dinner here and stays overnight...
Just tell me, as the second aunt, have you ever given Dudu an egg to eat?"
Ah...this?
Zhang Xiu'e's face twitched stiffly. At this moment, she regretted making this trip on the pretext that Wang Jingjing did not go home yesterday.
She was planning to stay overnight.
Now that you've gotten started, you can come back every now and then and maybe you'll be able to work out a job.
She was originally unwilling to accept that she was the only family that did not go into the city.
In the past few months, two things happened that made her vomit blood.
First, I heard that Chen Meiru earns more than 20 yuan a month as a dishwasher.
Secondly, Wang Sibing, who had been too busy to go back this year, went back once and said there was a job opportunity and asked Wang Erbing if he wanted to go. Wang Erbing refused without even discussing it with her.
As a result, Wang Erju's husband and Wang Dahai's nephew from the next family both went to the city.
She really spat out blood on the spot.
I'm so angry and hateful.
During this period, my heart felt like it was on fire.
She even thought that if things really didn't work out, she would go to the city to find a job herself.
Even Chen Meiru, with that deadpan face, can find work to do. Isn't she more capable than Chen Meiru?
“…”
After coming back from school, Wang Zhaozhao was speechless when he heard Xie Ailian mumbling.
"Grandma, did she go to see Wang Jingjing?"
"I accompanied her to school, met her for a while, and then sent her directly to the station. She even wanted me to buy her a ticket. She was so happy!" Xie Ailian said with a hum.
Wang Zhaozhao: “……!”
"As for her moving to the city... now that things are opening up, I heard that in southern provinces, some unemployed people in county towns are going there to work in factories. In the future, more and more people will leave the village."
Wang Zhaozhao didn't know what to make of the fact that Wang Erbing was unwilling to enter the city.
But Zhang Xiu'e had such a strong desire to go to the city that as long as anyone in the village was taken to the south by relatives to work in a factory, she would definitely try her best to find an opportunity to go with them.
"Your father doesn't want to come out, and we can't persuade him." Xie Ailian said helplessly.
She is now more open-minded and would not say that she hopes to have a son who stays at home and inherits the family business.
What kind of ancestral property is there? It's just the fields and the yard... Oh, and the ancestral tombs. These things won't run away.
If I live in the county town, I can go back every now and then.
Hearing this, Wang Zhaozhao shrugged his shoulders. There was really nothing he could do about it.
From the perspective of the old couple, if their son doesn't want to leave, there is no reason to send his daughter-in-law to the city.
