Liu Xiaolan touched Shen Jiaojiao's hair and said sincerely, "You should have noticed that I particularly like Jiaojiao. Jiaojiao is the first thing I think of when I open my mouth or close it.

I also admit that I did not treat my children equally, and my second eldest daughter-in-law and second son-in-law must feel aggrieved.

But I am a very open-minded person. The only thing that is unfair is my love for Jiaojiao. As for money, I have not let you lose a single cent.

Maybe you are wondering why I am so nice to Jiaojiao!

In fact, at the beginning, I was so open-hearted to Jiaojiao just for the sake of the third child.

Your father was sick, and the medical expenses were all paid by the third brother. The money must have come from an illegal source. He risked his life and went out to engage in speculation to earn this life-saving money.

This money can not only pay for your father's medical expenses, but sometimes it can also supplement our family's living expenses.

Such a large family would surely starve to death if they relied solely on work points.

It is because of the third brother that we were not defeated by poverty and did not die of hunger.

I have always felt that I was cheating the third brother, so now that he finally got a wife, I naturally had to be nice to his wife in every way possible.

My initial purpose was indeed to leave a good impression in front of Jiaojiao. Later, as we got to know each other better, I found that Jiaojiao was a really good kid. She always considered our family in everything and her heart was entirely devoted to the third child.

I gradually fell in love with this good boy.

I believe that anyone who has been with Jiaojiao will like her."

Liu Xiaolan laughed at herself, "Hey, I said so much today just to tell you that although I am biased, it is not unreasonable. If you are not convinced! Then I... can't do anything!"

The last sentence is quite witty. Who would be angry?

Li Ermei was the first to speak out, "Mom, I have never been dissatisfied. We all know how much help our uncle has given to our family, so we are grateful to him from the bottom of our hearts.

Don't say you are partial, I like Jiaojiao too! To be honest, if I could, I would like to follow Jiaojiao for the rest of my life, do whatever she asks me to do, and never complain."

Li Ermei and Xu Fugui already regarded Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo as the God of Wealth, living Bodhisattva and savior, and they would not blink an eye even if they were asked to risk their lives for them.

Sun Huahua said, "Although I didn't have much contact with Jiaojiao, I could feel her love and help for us.

If Jiaojiao and my uncle hadn't persuaded Zhengyang to take the college entrance examination, our future life would have been miserable. So, who wouldn't love such a sister-in-law? Besides, I don't think my mother is partial! You are very good to us.

To be honest, I am really touched that they worked so hard and did not ask for anything in return to help us raise Ping An.

Every time I go back to my parents’ home, people in the village envy me for marrying into a good family.”

The hearts of the whole family are all in one place, and no one is fighting among themselves. How can such a family not have a prosperous future?

This New Year's Eve dinner was a joyous occasion.

After dinner, the whole family sat around the fire in the main room, eating melon seeds.

There was a charcoal stove burning in the room, and the fire was roaring. The room was particularly warm and there was no feeling of cold at all.

There are a few sweet potatoes on the stove, and I am roasting them by the fire while waiting to eat them.

The sweet potatoes were sizzling as they were roasted, and the sweet aroma filled the house.

I had just finished my meal and the aroma made me hungry again.

The children gathered together, fanning paper cigarette shells and having a lot of fun.

The adults just sat and chatted and watched the children play.

Xu Laidong, who had been silent the whole time, sighed, "The children have grown up, and we have also grown old!"

Liu Xiaolan continued, "Who says it's not true? Time flies so fast! In a blink of an eye, I have children and grandchildren all over the house."

Xu Laidong patted Liu Xiaolan's hand, saying from the bottom of his heart, "I also want to thank you for your contribution to our family over the years. If it weren't for you, Liu Xiaolan, our Xu family would have collapsed long ago."

Mr. Xu has always been introverted and not good at expressing his emotions.

It is not easy to say these words in front of my children today.

Liu Xiaolan rolled her eyes subconsciously.

I find it corny.

Although his expression showed disgust, he was still happy in his heart.

The rest of the kids didn't say anything, they just watched the two elders show their affection and laughed secretly.

Father Xu still knew how to restrain himself and took his hand away from the back of Liu Xiaolan's hand.

His face looked a little embarrassed.

After thinking for a long time, I found the topic.

When asked Xu Zhengyang, "Where are you planning to study?" he didn't know much about taking the college entrance exam.

Xu Zhengyang hugged Ping An and answered, "My third brother and his wife gave me some advice, so I chose a technical college in Beijing."

Father Xu nodded and said, "It's always right to listen to your brothers and sisters' advice. When you go out into the world, you must study hard on your own. Don't worry about home. Your mother and I will take good care of Huahua and the children.

We are relieved that you have your brothers and sisters taking care of you outside."

Everyone can see that if you follow Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo, you won't suffer any loss.

The whole family must believe in Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo.

Xu Mo said, "Dad and Mom, there is something I want to tell you. My eldest brother must be worried about my eldest sister-in-law and four children when he is alone outside. Besides, they are newlyweds, so it is not a big deal for them to live apart for a long time.

I have discussed this with Jiaojiao, and I just want to ask you if you are willing to go to Beijing with us to develop your career."

Everyone looked at Xu Mo in surprise.

Xu Mo glanced at Shen Jiaojiao and continued, "There is something I haven't told you yet. Last year, Jiaojiao and I bought two courtyard houses in Beijing. Those houses are empty and no one lives there, so if you are willing to go there, at least you don't have to worry about where to live.

As for the children, they can find schools to study in, so you don’t have to worry about that.”

Shen Jiaojiao also said, "The business there is developing very rapidly now. If you go out and find a way to make money, business will be very good."

The whole family was even more terrified.

Xu Fugui couldn't help but exclaimed, "Third brother, you actually bought two houses in Beijing? You guys are so awesome!"

Xu Fugui and Li Ermei's appetite for business is slowly growing; the business in the small county town can no longer satisfy them, and they are looking for opportunities to develop in big cities.

They originally wanted to visit their own city, but now that they had the opportunity to go to Beijing, they didn't want to refuse it at all.

If I can stay in Beijing to develop in the future, my future will be bright!

The most important thing is, if you follow your third brother, you won’t go wrong.

Liu Xiaolan was also quite moved after hearing this.

The most important thing is that she can't bear to leave Jiaojiao. When she thinks that her son and daughter-in-law have gone to other places and she can hardly see them once a year, she feels unhappy.

If she could go to Beijing, wouldn't she be able to see Jiaojiao more often?

An idea immediately popped up in her mind: she wanted to go to Beijing to take care of the child.

but……

"Jiaojiao, that house is yours after all. It would definitely not be appropriate for our whole family to live there."

Shen Jiaojiao was puzzled, "What's inappropriate? You are all my relatives, we are a family, so don't say these polite words.

There are two houses there, and if they are left empty, they will easily deteriorate. Your presence will bring more people to the place, and you can help look after the houses. I am so happy."

Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo do not attach much importance to material things.

After all, these people are worth their efforts.

Fortunately, everyone in the family is sensible and doesn't like to take advantage of others.

Li Ermei said, "Hearing what you said, I really want to go to Beijing to have a look, but our mother is right, it is not suitable for the whole family to live in your house, how about this, we go and live in Jiaojiao's place, even if it is renting a house, and pay rent every month."

Sun Huahua was the first to applaud, "I think this is fine. After all, we can't always take advantage of my brother-in-law's family! It's great that they can provide us with a place to stay."

Sun Huahua didn't know how to repay Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo for their gratitude.

It is a blessing for Sun Huahua to meet such good sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law in this life and to marry into such a good family!

She will definitely cherish it.

Liu Xiaolan was very pleased to see the attitudes of her two daughters-in-law.

That's what she meant when she said that just now.

You can't rely on the third brother's family for everything. If you want convenience, you still have to pay for something yourself.

If you get something for nothing, it will develop a habit of asking for more in the future, which is not good.

Shen Jiaojiao originally wanted to refuse the rent.

She doesn't need that few dollars, so there's no need to charge rent.

But after thinking about it, I finally said nothing.

If she doesn't want rent, no one would go!

At least I understand the tempers of my two sisters-in-law.

That’s fine, at worst I can just charge less rent.

As long as the family can be together happily, it is better than anything else.

The matter was happily decided.

The atmosphere at home became more lively.

Everyone is fantasizing about what the future will be like.

However, it is still difficult to leave the place where you have always lived in a short period of time.

At least when you get there you have to first take care of the problem of your children going to school.

So Shen Jiaojiao and Xu Mo went back to Beijing first and dealt with the issue of their children's schooling first.

The matter was happily settled.

Time also slipped away quietly in the joyous atmosphere.

Before I knew it, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.

"Oh, it's getting late, Jiaojiao, go back to sleep quickly. Mumu will need milk when he wakes up."

Liu Xiaolan urged Shen Jiaojiao to go back quickly.

Shen Jiaojiao glanced at the time and it was indeed late.

The kid has been sleeping since dinner time.

It's time to wake up.

By this time Xu Mo had already gone into the room, picked up the sleeping kid in his arms and walked out.

Shen Jiaojiao followed Xu Mo and prepared to leave.

Before leaving, Sanjin smiled slyly and said, "Auntie, what time are you going to get up tomorrow?"

Shen Jiaojiao touched Sanjin's little head and asked, "What do you want to do?"

"Hehe, I want to be the first one to wish my aunt a happy new year. I think my aunt will give me a red envelope!" How shameless.

Shen Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Of course I will. I got up at 7 o'clock, so you should come earlier."

"Okay, I'll definitely go first."

What children look forward to the most is the Chinese New Year, because not only can they wear new clothes and eat delicious food, but they can also get New Year's money.

This is one of the few festivals in the year that belongs to their children, so they must seize the opportunity no matter what.

Be a little sweeter and you will get more red envelopes!
