Old Mrs. Lin is very proud of her grandson-in-law. She praises him to the skies at home. How could she not come?
It's just that I can't save the work points I've earned, so I want to take as little leave as possible, so I've been procrastinating and haven't even got the leave yet.
After Li Meixia finished speaking, she looked up and saw a relative from the Wu family. It seemed that there were only her and Tiantian at her mother's house, so she couldn't let Tian Tian go to entertain the relative.
She quickly spat out the melon seed shells in her mouth and threw the melon seeds on the table. She brushed off the melon seed crumbs on her hands, stood up and invited everyone to sit down.
By eleven o'clock, the tables in the yard were finally full, and Grandma Lin and the others hurried over.
After they sat down at the table, Grandma Lin looked at Tian Tian and said in dissatisfaction, "Why didn't your parents come? Why did they only let you and your brother come for such an important event as your sister Wu Juan's wedding?"
Grandma Lin looked at Tian Tian with eyes that weren't eyes and nose that weren't a nose. It was obvious that she still resented Tian Tian for arguing with her last time when she went to her house.
Tian Tian was not angry either, she smiled and said, "Isn't it the autumn harvest at my place? My dad, the accountant, has to keep an eye on everyone's work, right? There are a lot of things to do in the brigade. After the autumn harvest, we have to deliver mountain products to the supply and marketing cooperative, deliver grain to the grain station, and sell the New Year pigs."
"He wants to come, but he really doesn't have the time. It doesn't matter if our family earns one or two days less work points. The key is that this is the business of the entire brigade. We can't delay the business of the brigade just because we come to attend Sister Wu Juan's wedding, right?"
After hearing what Tian Tian said, Grandma Lin remained silent. This is the current trend. Individuals have to make concessions for the collective. If the collective interests are damaged, there is no way around it.
"It's fine if your dad doesn't come! But why hasn't your mom come yet! Your mom didn't even bother to come and support your niece's wedding. By then, the tables at her parents' house will be deserted and not even full. How embarrassing!" Grandma Lin said dissatisfiedly.
It's true that the table for guests from my mother's family is not full. There are my aunt and uncle, Grandma Lin, Grandpa Lin, Tian Tian and my aunt, so there are only six people in total. A table of ten cannot be fully occupied.
"How is that possible? You said that all the daughters from our Lin family are blessed with many children. Although there are few adults, there are many children in the family. This table must be full." Tian Tian said.
Her eldest aunt alone has five children, plus her younger aunt has two and Tian Zhuo has one, so it's hard to fit everyone at the table.
"Besides, isn't it bad to have fewer people? The people at our table are either girls or children, and they don't have big appetites. There will be a lot of leftovers. Aunt and grandma, you two can take it all home and heat it up to eat for several meals!"
After saying that, he swallowed his saliva. He didn't know why the big pot of food was so delicious at this time. When you eat them individually, they tasted delicious, but when you put them together, they had a very unique aroma, which made them taste even better.
Grandma Lin had a gloomy face. She originally wanted to pick a fight with Tian Tian, but seeing that Tian Tian was not angry no matter what she said, she started to sulk instead.
I wanted to hold back my anger and not make myself unhappy again, but I held back and got angrier and angrier. I couldn't hold it back any more. "How much did you give your sister Wu Juan as a gift this time? Didn't grandma say that your family is well-off and you should help your relatives when they are in trouble? Then, if your family encounters any problems in the future, everyone will be able to help you, right? The wedding gift money can't be less! Young couples have to spend money in their lives."
Tian Tian's face turned dark after hearing this. She now regretted having recorded one dollar when she recorded the gift account just now.
no!
Tian Tian was lucky enough to hold back her anger.
That dollar was for Wu Juan, not for her grandmother. Her grandmother was not a good person and was biased, but her aunt was a good aunt, and Wu Juan was also a good sister.
Grandma Lin was still chattering over there. When she saw Tian Tian's expression change, she talked even more excitedly.
"I heard that you are still studying in high school in the county. What's the point of a little girl studying so much? I would say you should just stop studying. I was not happy when your parents sent you to junior high school, but now they send you to high school. Look at you, your heart has gone wild. You don't even know how to talk to your elders. You only care about money all the time. You don't have any gratitude or gratitude at all."
"Your parents are just too young, always thinking about these useless things. They shouldn't have listened to me and not let you read books. I'm already so old, I've walked so many roads, met so many people, I know so much! I've experienced more than your parents. If you had listened to me, you would have saved a lot of money now, how could your sister Wu Juan have given you a pair of red pillows this time?"
Tian Zhuo, the youngest among the children, found what grandma said unpleasant to hear, so he turned around and blinked his big eyes at Grandma Lin.
"Mom! What are you talking about?" Lin Meishuang had just sat down when she heard Grandma Lin's words. She couldn't hold back her anger and whispered to stop her.
Tian Tian was so angry that she put on a fake smile, "How can you say that studying is useless? At least I know from studying that a mother shouldn't count her daughter's money, especially the money of her son-in-law's family, and talk about these things with her granddaughter and grandson. She also wouldn't think that when her granddaughter got married, she would not pay for it herself, but let her second aunt pay for it."
"I've read and know that you can't be partial to your children. Whether you have three or four children, you should treat them all equally, instead of favoring the other two and ignoring one. It's said that discord between children is due to the parents' lack of virtue. Grandma is just like you and my grandfather. One is biased in public, and the other indulges in private. My mother and my eldest and second aunts still have such a good relationship. It's simply smoke coming out of the Lin family's ancestral grave. Grandma, why don't you go to the grave and pay your respects? Are the old Lin family still here thinking about the money of the old Tian family?"
Tian Tian finished all these words in one breath, and then suddenly seemed to remember something, she covered her mouth with an exaggerated gesture, and said in a pretentious manner: "Oh! Look, I forgot that grandma is a woman, so I can't visit her grave."
She now dislikes Grandma Lin and her family more and more. According to her mother, Grandma Lin was not like she is now. Although she was a little biased, it was not obvious that she was wrong. Why is she so blatantly biased now?
This is really getting more confusing as you get older.
