Sun Yuegui didn't like Xia Guokang and Wu Min, especially Wu Min. Although they were not sisters-in-law, Wu Min was the daughter of a deputy director of a bureau. She was always arrogant and looked down on her sister-in-law who came from an ordinary family.
Sometimes when the two met outside, Sun Yuegui would greet Wu Min, but Wu Min would pretend not to see her, which made Sun Yuegui very embarrassed.
When Xia Guokang saw Sun Yuegui coming out, he smiled and nodded and asked Sun Yuegui, but Wu Min didn't even look at Sun Yuegui. She just walked into the villa.
As soon as he walked into the yard, Wu Min was shocked by the cool feeling in the yard.
"You guys even turned on the air conditioner in the yard." Xia Guokang also asked in surprise, "This is such a waste of electricity!"
Xia Guokang saw a large vegetable patch in the front yard, which was full of various vegetables. He exclaimed, "How come there are so many vegetables planted at home? There must be no shortage of vegetables to eat."
Wu Jianing curled her lips and muttered softly, "You guys are turning on the air conditioner in the yard just for farming? This is such a waste of electricity. The country is facing a power shortage right now. You are so selfish!"
"The family uses photovoltaic panels to generate electricity. We don't use electricity, so it won't be wasted." Xia Shige stood at the door and replied calmly, "Second uncle, second aunt, come in."
Wu Jianing felt her face burning and she glared at Xia Shige in dissatisfaction.
Xia Guokang was considered to be married into the Wu family, so Wu Jianing took her mother's surname. Wu Jianing was influenced by her mother since she was young, and she didn't look down on her mother's poor relatives, nor did she look down on her cousin Xia Shige.
Later, Xia Shige was admitted to a prestigious university, while Wu Jianing was only admitted to an ordinary school, and she disliked Xia Shige even more.
Xia Guokang and Wu Min saw Xia Shige and looked at each other. Seeing the joy in each other's eyes, Xia Guokang smiled and said, "This is Shige, right? I haven't seen you for so long. You've grown so big."
Xia Shige nodded politely, turned around and let the three of them in.
Xia Guokang took a look at the decoration of the villa and was secretly shocked. It seemed that a lot of money had been spent.
The room was also fully air-conditioned, and there was an exquisite fruit plate in the living room, which contained fresh peaches and sliced ​​pineapples. Xia Guokang's family of three were dazzled when they saw the fruit plate. Who could afford to eat fruit in ordinary families these days?
"Please sit down." Grandma sat down on the sofa and had a blank expression on her face when she saw the three people come in.
Since Xia Guokang married into the Wu family, he has refused to contact his family. When Wu Jianing was born, her grandmother brought gifts to the Wu family to visit Wu Min and her daughter, but was stopped by Xia Guokang. He didn't want his wife's family to see his rural mother.
Grandma ran over from far away, but Xia Guokang wouldn't even let her in. Grandma had no choice but to take the gift and leave alone. After returning home, she was sad for a long time.
For so many years, Xia Guokang has never gone home to visit his mother, as if this could erase his rural origin.
"Auntie Liu, you're here too." Xia Guokang greeted her politely when he saw Grandma Liu.
"Yeah." Grandma Liu knew what Xia Guokang had done over the years, but she also felt it was not appropriate for her to interfere in the Xia family's affairs. After saying hello, she turned around and went to the kitchen to cook.
"It's hot outside, let's have something to drink." Sun Yuegui brought a can of iced orange juice to the group. It was freshly squeezed in the morning and placed in an ice bucket to keep it fresh.
Xia Guokang's family was shocked when they saw the can of orange juice. Wu Min couldn't help but ask, "Fruits are so hard to come by now, how can you be willing to use them to make juice?! This is such a waste!"
Grandma calmly responded, "There are several fruit trees in the yard, so there is enough food for the whole family."
Xia Guokang's family didn't care about being reserved and dignified. They took the cup and took a big sip. The cool taste and the sweet and rich citrus aroma completely eliminated the fatigue from the journey after drinking one cup.
The three of them wanted more after finishing their drink and looked at the remaining orange juice in the glass jar with some embarrassment. Sun Yuegui didn't care and filled it up for them again.
Wu Min looked at Sun Yuegui and couldn't help feeling jealous.
Wu Min always looked down on Sun Yuegui. Xia Guocheng graduated from junior high school, had no proper job, and worked as a servant for others, but Xia Guokang was a college student and a cadre.
