Wang Zhaozhao would not take any discordant voice to heart.
After everyone left, Wang Zhaozhao went back to her room to pack up.
"Play less with that old woman surnamed Qian in the future." Wang Dahai reminded Xie Ailian when they went to the kitchen to work together.
Xie Ailian, "I wasn't playing with her originally, we were just taking a break and chatting together, and she came over."
"Then if she comes close to you next time, just walk away."
"Isn't this inappropriate?"
Xie Ailian was not afraid of offending people. The main reason was that those old ladies were educated, and some of them were retired cadres.
She felt a little short and felt awkward, not wanting others to think she was stingy.
Wang Dahai snorted, "What's inappropriate about that? You just want others to know that you don't like her! I saw the old woman say those things, and I had other ideas."
"Huh? Any other ideas?"
"She has a grandson, the one you mentioned who dyed his hair yellow and whose pants looked like they were about to fall off if he didn't wear them properly."
"What?"
Xie Ailian was no fool and she reacted immediately.
He chopped the kitchen knife onto the chopping board and said, "Where did that old woman get such a big face? She's just like that..."
Without rolling up her sleeves, she placed her hands firmly on her hips and spat viciously, "Bah! I'll give her two big slaps in the face!"
"Just be quiet, I just guessed it, to make you pay attention..." Wang Dahai rolled his eyes at her. "If you hit her, won't that just make her a target for criticism?"
Xie Ailian: “……!”
It’s true, Naina, what a jerk, so infuriating!
"Got it. From now on, I will definitely walk away from her as if she were stinking dog shit."
Of course I have to shout it out so that everyone in the alley knows, huh!
Wang Zhaozhao tidied up briefly and went to the kitchen, where she saw her grandmother cutting vegetables with a vicious look on her face.
"Grandma, what's wrong with you? What happened to that string bean?"
"It's an old trick. It makes me angry just looking at it."
"Then don't fry it, boil it in water and cook it until it's softer."
"OK!"
Xie Ailian felt a little better. "Alright! We don't need your help here. Go find a cool place to stay."
"oh."
Wang Zhaozhao responded but did not leave.
She went to the corner where the vegetables were kept, picked and chose, found a cucumber that was barely not too old, rinsed it under the tap, and took a bite.
"Why are you eating this? It's old... Forget it, bring it here and I'll peel it for you." Xie Ailian said as she came over to rinse the knife used to cut the beans.
Old cucumbers are indeed not very tasty. Not only are the skins old, but the seeds are also old.
But since she had taken it and peeled it, she was determined to finish it.
"Grandma, how long has Fourth Uncle been here? Will he come back for lunch?"
"It's been more than ten days. Why bother? If he can catch up, then he can catch up. If he can't, he'll eat out himself."
Xie Ailian was quick and efficient. She peeled the cucumber in a few strokes and handed it back to Wang Zhaozhao.
Wang Zhaozhao took it and took another bite.
The taste is indeed better.
"Is Fourth Uncle waiting for summer vacation to return to Zhushan County?"
"Yeah! Do you have summer vacation this year?"
Xie Ailian asked Wang Zhaozhao.
Wang Zhaozhao shook his head.
"Then we'll go back then, so it's better to come early."
"It's better to come earlier. The train will be less crowded."
"Okay then..."
Xie Ailian nodded without thinking too much and was about to chase Wang Zhaozhao out of the kitchen when Wang Dahai suddenly said, "Zhao girl, it seems that you are missing all ten days of vacation this summer vacation?"
"Yeah." Wang Zhaozhao nodded, pausing to chew on the peeled cucumber. "This time we have five days off. After that, I won't be in school anymore, so it might take a few months before I come back... maybe even longer."
Xie Ailian held the kitchen knife, stunned, with a confused expression.
"You haven't been back for several months, so what about registering for school?" Wang Dahai asked.
"Well, the school will take care of the registration. As for classes... I'm already in my third year, so I'm already spending more time in the lab."
"Okay, got it."
Wang Dahai nodded and said no more.
Xie Ailian finally reacted and opened her mouth, but found that there seemed to be nothing to say, as she didn't understand those things.
After a long while, she sighed and said slowly, "I actually had some complaints about your fourth uncle's haste to buy a house in Beijing.
Who would buy a house here just because they come to Beijing to study at university?"
Wang Zhaozhao's eyes widened. It had been more than a year, and her grandmother had never expressed this before.
Wang Dahai started to heat the pot and prepare to fry the tofu. Xie Ailian finished cutting the beans, picked up a big kitchen knife and chopped the pig's trotters.
"Boom! Boom! Boom..."
"What others have said is true. You are just here to study at the university. Who knows where you will be assigned in the future?"
The sound of "dong dong dong" and Xie Ailian's voice intertwined together.
"I just woke up suddenly... One time, you and your classmates went to Lianshan City Library. I teased you for coming home late, and you said the library had changed a lot, and you accidentally read for three hours in there.
Later he said that it would be great if he could become a librarian in the future, as he would have books to read and get a salary... haha.
At that time, I didn't pour cold water on you. Instead, your fourth aunt who loved to pamper you poured cold water on you and told you to stop dreaming.
At that time, she seemed to be telling you, but in fact, she broke it down and told it to us..."
Xie Ailian paused and sighed, "I seemed to understand it at the time, but not really.
Now, I really understand. Your fourth uncle and aunt had clearly thought of this a long time ago. Would it be like this now? "
So, the first thing to do is to buy a yard!
As Wang Zhaozhao listened, her nose felt a little sour and her eyes turned red.
She chuckled, "Yes, Uncle and Auntie had already thought of it. The only thing they didn't expect was that I would skip three years of high school. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to go into debt to buy this yard."
Xie Ailian had already chopped the pig's trotters, put them into the vegetable bowl, scooped in a few spoonfuls of water, and began to wash them.
"Debt or not, your fourth uncle has already paid it off, even your money and our coffin fund."
Wang Zhaozhao paused, "I don't need to pay for the money..."
"What do you mean by no need to fill it out?" Xie Ailian rolled her eyes in annoyance. "If he can fill it out, then of course we should keep it. After all, he can make money and do things well... You are awesome. Let him learn to be ambitious too. That's great."
“…”
Wang Zhaozhao thought about it and thought, that's right. Just fill it out and keep it. If you need it, you can take it away...
Just as I was thinking about it, I heard Xie Ailian say again, "When your fourth uncle comes back, ask him about his plans. I heard him chatting with Xiao Gu once, and it seemed that he was thinking of withdrawing from the factory he opened with Uncle Lian Hong and the others..."
Do you think he will have conflicts with Lian Hong?
Lian Hong was very kind to him, and he is where he is today thanks to his support."
Wang Zhaozhao was shocked. "Grandma, did you hear it wrong? Don't make blind guesses."
"That's why I asked you to ask!"
“…”
