The price of my impulsive behavior was several days of pain, and my stomach still aches.
Ding Yushu felt a little regretful and scared, and also a little annoyed that she didn't use more force and the child didn't fall.
But when she was asked to do it a second time, she didn't dare.
That feeling is really bad.
As she was thinking, the door was pushed open.
Ding Yushu looked over and saw Zhang Zhi coming in with a gloomy face. Just as she was about to ask him to pour her a glass of water, she heard his low and cold voice asking, "Did you fall on purpose?"
Ding Yushu paused and instinctively denied: "No! You are talking nonsense!"
Zhang Zhi looked at her coldly: "You want to take the college entrance examination, so you give up the child, right?"
He would not betray Dabao, but just stared at her, wanting her to confess herself.
How could Dante Yushu be so stupid as to admit it?
She almost bit her teeth to pieces, refusing to let go, but her voice was sharp and flustered: "I didn't do that. You wronged me, Zhang Zhi, you have no conscience. I worked so hard to give birth to a child for you, but you treated me like this. My stomach still hurts now, and you still say this. Do you think aborting a child won't hurt me? Oh, it hurts so much..."
She was a good singer and songwriter, and her face was filled with sadness as she spoke, and she even moved herself and cried.
She is really unlucky. If she had known the news earlier, she would never have gotten pregnant, but it had to happen now.
I can't even have children.
But after talking for so long, Zhang Zhi still looked at her coldly and remained indifferent. She began to panic. Her eyes rolled back and she hugged her stomach and cried.
I was just talking, but as I was crying and shouting, my stomach really started to hurt.
Zhang Zhi then gave her the medicine in a panic and waited for her to drink it. Only then did he feel a little relieved.
However, the remaining words stuck in my throat could not be uttered.
Zhang Zhi looked at the not-so-pretty face in front of him with a gloomy look in his eyes. After all, the two of them had been together for seven or eight years, so he knew clearly how guilty she felt. In other words, it was really she who wanted to abort the child this time.
Ding Yushu felt uneasy when he looked at her. She pulled his hand and acted coquettishly, "What are you doing? Are you tired? Come up and have a rest."
This was truly a rare concern, but it was based on this. Zhang Zhi just felt disheartened. He shook his head, turned around and went out to cook.
He finally swallowed the words and decided to wait and see the result.
…
Zhang Zhi swallowed it, but the Zhang family didn't. Such a big thing happened in the Zhang family, and the atmosphere at home was bad for those two days.
Xu Qiu and Tianjiao, both of whom knew the plot, silently mourned for Zhang Zhi, as he would soon be a single father.
In the book, they did not separate. Although there were frequent conflicts in the past few years, Zhang Rui did not live at home for a long time, and none of the children often had delicious food to compare with her, so things did not become a big deal until the timeline came to this year, when Zhang Dong came back and Zhang Yanran appeared.
The same unequal treatment, Li Mizhen and Zhang Dagen both doted on the only offspring of their eldest son, even the little bully Dabao in the family had to take a back seat, not to mention Ding Yushu, so there was one quarrel after another. Zhang Yanran did not do it herself, so she naturally resisted, and Ding Yushu did not get what she wanted.
But she was pregnant, so it wasn't really a bad thing, just a few comments at most.
After hearing the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination, Ding Yushu could no longer sit still. It was the same as this time, but it was much more serious than it is now. Maybe Li Mizhen had knots every day at that time.
Life is a little more comfortable now, so she doesn't have so many tricks and just throws it down simply and roughly.
Anyway, the final result was failure.
Ding Yushu would give birth to this child, but the child was weak and sickly, and after the confinement period was over, Ding Yushu stole the money from the family and disappeared.
Zhang Zhi never remarried after this. Later, when Ding Yushu found out that the Zhang family had become rich, she came back to them. In the extra story, she even used the law to force Dabao and Erbao to give her alimony.
However, with the help of Zhang Yanran, the two children sued her for abandonment, and successfully scared her away from coming.
However, neither of them expressed these thoughts aloud.
Some things cannot be changed. Tianjiao has known Ding Yushu for a long time and knows what kind of person she is. However, she wants to try to improve the child's frail condition.
Find an opportunity and touch her belly.
But given their relationship, I wonder if Ding Yushu will touch her belly?
****
In October, the news of the resumption of the college entrance examination officially came. The first college entrance examination after the resumption was in winter, which was not a long time, but fortunately they had known the vague news a lot in advance. Most people chose to believe it and started reviewing, so everyone was full of confidence.
Tianjiao also wanted to take the college entrance examination, but as soon as she showed a little bit of the idea, she saw the heroine shaking her head.
“Many of those taking the college entrance examination now have waited for ten years. They have waited too long. Those of us who are still young should not go yet.” Only the two of them know their own abilities. Although they have not covered all the high school knowledge, the college entrance examination will not be a problem for them. Normally, the first year of the college entrance examination will not give too difficult questions, or the admission score will be much lower.
Tianjiao nodded obediently: "Well, I won't go."
The heroine is more aware.
Xu Qiu passed by and heard this, and she also smiled. She walked forward and raised her voice: "Zhang Rui, there is something wrong with my cabinet, can you help me take a look?"
Zhang Rui, who was squinting his eyes to bask in the sun, had a slightly stiff expression on his face.
Xu Qiu looked at him generously and said with a smile: "Hurry up, this place has always been unstable. I put something down and it fell down. If it falls down, it will be bad for someone to be knocked down."
Zhang Rui stood up immediately: "Here I come."
Oh, his daughter sleeps in the same room with her, she can’t be hit.
Tianjiao and Zhang Yanran looked at each other and made faces at each other.
Tianjiao watched Xu Qiu's pursuit of Zhang Rui calmly. After all, it was her father's business and she couldn't make a decision for him.
Moreover, although Xu Qiu is a person who traveled through the book, he probably stayed here because of the future achievements of the Zhang family and the heroine. He liked Zhang Rui probably because of his achievements in the book, but if he could live together happily and have a purpose for each other, it would be fine.
After all, if her husband marries her in the future, she will definitely be attracted by his looks, given her love for appearances.
Suddenly Xiao He's face appeared in her mind. She was embarrassed for a moment and quickly forgot about it.
But then again, there seems to be no record of Zhang Rui's other half in the book. Zhang Rui is a playboy who likes to do business, travels all over the country, has had love affairs, and even brought back a Western beauty. Li Mizhen was so scared that her heart broke. Under her strong opposition, the matter was left unresolved. Later, Li Mizhen regretted it. She shouldn't have opposed it. Anyway, he never got married in the book.
…
Tianjiao quickly let go of the matter and focused on Zhang Dong’s second visit to the military hospital for examination.
Last time, Zhang Yanran said that she could let Zhang Dong take Xiao He for a check-up, but it was too late by then. Zhang Dong, who had just had a check-up, had to wait three months before he could go for the second time.
Look, a car will come to pick them up for inspection this morning.
The people accompanying them this time...she was not there. There were Zhang Yanran, Xiao He, and Zhang Rui, but not her.
She thought sourly, could it be that Xiao He, the villain in the book, really fall in love with the heroine again?
But no matter how sour it was, the car still came.
Xiao He also came.
The handsome boy was wearing a dark blue cloth suit today, and he was neatly dressed. He was only twelve years old and not very tall. He was much shorter than Zhang Rui when standing next to him, but he had a slim figure and was very eye-catching when seen alone.
Xiao He's lips were slightly pale and he pursed them out of habit, especially after seeing so many strangers and the imposing car, he nervously came behind Tianjiao the first time.
Tianjiao immediately took his hand and comforted him: "Don't worry, it's okay. Don't be reluctant when you see the doctor. Just tell them whatever they ask, okay?"
Xiao He pursed his lips tightly, as if he was unhappy or afraid.
He is now taller than Tianjiao. Tianjiao tries to stand on tiptoe and gently press his hair to push the fluffy short hair down a little, while releasing a little energy to soothe him.
The warm touch on his head made him feel happy. Xiao He narrowed his eyes and nodded obediently.
Tianjiao smiled with satisfaction.
Zhang Rui was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and secretly said to Zhang Dong who was carried into the car: "Look at these two children, if they don't stay together in the future, I won't be named Zhang anymore!"
Zhang Dong glanced at him and asked, "Are you willing?"
Zhang Rui chuckled: "This is marrying into the wife's family. Xiao He is pretty, only a fool would agree to it."
Zhang Dong sighed and looked at his daughter: "I don't want to. You can't marry too early, even if it means marrying into the family."
The two said this, and everything was ready. Tianjiao stood on tiptoe and ruffled the boy's hair: "Be good, go up, don't be afraid."
After stroking his hair, Xiao He's lips curled down. He was led by her step by step and looked at her without blinking. Slowly, tears gathered in his eyes.
Seeing him like this, Tianjiao felt strangely happy in his heart, as well as a feeling of being relied upon.
She took Xiao He's hand and walked them to the car, closed the door, and then waved to them.
Dabao watched from the side, his face full of longing: "I want to go too."
"Next time." Tianjiao pinched his cheeks, which were still quite fleshy: "Next time, Xiao He won't go."
Dabao was even more looking forward to it.
****
The examination took a long time and he wouldn't be back all of a sudden. The house suddenly seemed empty, with only Li Mizhen, Zhang Dagen, Dabao and Tianjiao left.
Within two days, Tianjiao also went to school.
This time Zhang Yanran took a leave. As the heroine, she was naturally not unknown. She was still very popular in school, especially because she was beautiful. A 14-year-old girl was no longer a child. Therefore, after discovering that she did not come to school, many handsome boys came over and asked Tianjiao shyly: "Student Zhang Tianjiao, may I ask, what happened to your sister? Is she sick?"
Tianjiao said: "No, she accompanied her father to see a doctor and took a week off."
Some people understood and left, while others said seriously: "My family knows some doctors who can help if you need them."
After Tianjiao responded, he could only sigh at how charming the heroine is.
The inspection took a week.
It happened to be Saturday that day, and Tianjiao was at home.
The car was driving very slowly in the village, so before she even left the house, she heard her neighbor's aunt say, "Jiaojiao, your father is back."
"Oh, I got it." Tianjiao responded, immediately put away the notebook in his hand and went out.
Now that the situation has changed, these things no longer need to be hidden, so she put all the things in Zhang Rui's room and paint there whenever she is home.
As soon as I went out, I heard the sound of a car stopping at the gate of the yard.
Soon the gate opened and they came down one after another.
Xiao He came down first, and when Tianjiao was about to go over, he saw Zhang Yanran accidentally step on empty air when she came down behind him.
Xiao He's expression changed slightly and he supported him.
Military vehicles are very high, and if Zhang Yanran hadn't held on, she might have fallen badly.
Seeing the man stand firm, Xiao He took two steps back, loosened his hand, glanced at Tianjiao standing in the yard, smiled immediately and came over.
"Thank you." Zhang Yanran said thank you subconsciously, but when she looked up, she saw that the person was already rushing towards Tianjiao, and she was suddenly speechless.
The smile on Tianjiao's face had disappeared, and her heart felt sour and uncomfortable. She knew it was nothing, just a normal help, but why did Xiao He, who usually ignored everyone, always pay attention to Zhang Yanran when facing her?
She bit her lip, looked at the boy who was walking towards her with an expectant look on his face, and forced a fake smile: "I'm back, what did the doctor say?"
Xiao He blinked and handed the notebook in his hand to her.
Tianjiao looked at it for a while and found that... he couldn't understand it.
The doctor's handwriting is so unique.
Zhang Rui had already moved his eldest brother downstairs. Li Mizhen and Zhang Dagen were also greeting the people who had sent them back. He had nothing else to do, so he came over. He easily noticed her confusion and helped explain: "The doctor said that he has recovered. There is no trace of the injuries on his body and head. His brain is developing normally. He is just normal. He still refuses to speak. It should be a psychological trauma. We found a psychiatrist to see him, but it was useless. The psychiatrist said that his medicine is not here."
They didn't say anything specific, so it all depends on the opportunity, or ciji?
No one can know, but the doctor's advice is to let him spend more time with the people closest to him and let her guide him.
Tianjiao listened quietly, and Xiao He looked at her quietly. When she finished listening and looked at Xiao He, she could meet his eyes.
"I understand." Tianjiao nodded.
Zhang Rui put his hands behind his back and said calmly, "Don't worry. The doctor also said that this can't be rushed. He has recovered very well."
As the person who knew Xiao He's situation best in the hospital at that time, after Zhang Rui told the doctor what he knew, the doctor said that this was the effect after the treatment and the rest depended on the individual.
The doctor can't help.
“No.” Tianjiao forced a smile and wrote down all those things. Since she couldn’t force them, she would ignore them for the time being. Her focus now was on... Zhang Yanran and Xiao He.
"Dad, I'm going to play." Tianjiao said.
Before Zhang Ruiying could respond, he saw the child pulling Xiao He away.
…
There was no one else in the cave during the day. Knowing that the Zhang family had a lot of things to do today, Song Zhen said that there should be no classes and they should be suspended for a day.
Xiao He blinked in confusion. Ever since the news of the college entrance examination came, they had rarely come to this cave, and there was nothing in the cave now.
Tianjiao looked at Xiao He seriously and asked, "Do you like Zhang Yanran?"
Xiao He was stunned and looked at her with a strange expression.
Seeing that he didn't answer immediately, Tianjiao felt that he had understood, and curled his lips: "Why do you still like her?"
This sound was very obvious in the cave.
Tianjiao's voice is as clear as that of a young girl.
Xiao Hegang felt a little strange. Seeing that she was sure of what she said, he immediately shook his head anxiously.
Tianjiao no longer wanted to look at him. He felt uncomfortable. Seeing his impatience, he immediately turned his head away unhappily: "I know, I know. Don't deny it. I'm leaving first. You can have fun. We can stay away from each other in the future. But I won't help you pursue her."
After she finished speaking, she saw Xiao He's face turn a little pale, and added hesitantly: "It's not that I don't want to, but she has someone she likes. It's better for you to give up as soon as possible because your love will not lead to anything. If you take a detour, it will be too late to regret it."
The heroine has an official partner, so she won’t like him.
I just hope this little fool won’t turn love into hate again like in the book.
But with her around, it shouldn't be possible, right? No matter whether it is Xiao He or Zhang Yanran, it is impossible that they will not take her seriously, right?
Otherwise it would be a wasted journey.
She wanted to leave and didn't want to stay here. She felt that the air in the cave was stuffy and made her dizzy.
He was pulled back after taking only two steps.
Tianjiao shook his hands in increasing annoyance.
But she couldn't get rid of those hands. She turned around and glared at Xiao He: "Why are you bullying me now?"
Xiao He was already sweating profusely from anxiety. Seeing that she still didn't understand, he moved his mouth.
Tianjiao frowned: "What exactly do you want to say?"
She subconsciously looked around, but unfortunately everything here had been cleared away and there were no pens or papers left. She was just thinking about finding a branch.
Suddenly, a hoarse and stammering voice sounded: "I, I, don't like, don't like, her..."
The sound was extremely awkward, the pronunciation was inaccurate, and it was intermittent, as if it was incoherent.
But in this empty cave, there was a faint echo, and Tianjiao could hear it very clearly!
She turned back suddenly: "Can you speak now?"
Xiao He didn't react for a moment. He just looked at her stupidly, confused.
Tianjiao was already jumping up excitedly, pulling his hand: "You can speak now! You really can speak! Say a little more, quickly..."
The crisp and clear voice of the girl in his ear woke him up, and Xiao He began to react. His heart beat faster and heavier, pounding on his heart, and his lips opened tentatively: "I don't like her!"
As he spoke each word, his voice was still hoarse, and a slight echo resounded throughout the cave.
He can really talk! And it’s very clearly stated!
Tianjiao's excitement also disappeared a lot. She focused on his words and felt another kind of joy. However, thinking about the description in the novel, she still had doubts: "Really?"
Xiao He nodded vigorously, trying to say something awkwardly, but he couldn't say it, so he could only keep repeating stubbornly: "No, like, like!"
Tianjiao smiled.
…
The fact that Xiao He could suddenly speak naturally shocked a lot of people.
Song Zhen and Li Mu were even more surprised and kept guiding him to speak.
However, Xiao He was a silent person and found it difficult to speak throughout the entire day unless he really had no other choice.
Moreover, he basically learned how to speak from Tianjiao, so it was difficult for others to communicate with him. The progress seemed very slow because Tianjiao spent most of his time in school.
But only Tianjiao could make him speak honestly.
Zhang Rui was also surprised, since he had just treated the patient and was told that he needed to resolve his mental issues or have some ciji.
As a result, after being taken out by his daughter, he was able to speak. Zhang Rui deeply suspected that Xiao He was dragged out and beaten by her?
Of course, he was beaten after he made this guess.
Li Mizhen, who had always been lukewarm towards Xiao He, finally began to respond to him and was much more enthusiastic than before.
Especially after discovering that Xiao He would go into business on his own.
She is not like most people who look down on people who do business. Now that they can't even afford to eat, who would care about doing business or not? Besides, her son is also doing it.
He can support himself at such a young age and is worthy of being my granddaughter.
*****
Life in school was as peaceful as ever. Tianjiao was studying hard, and Zhang Yanran was also studying hard. The situation of the Zhang family was much better than she had imagined. Her uncle had a good business sense, and she didn't need to worry about other things, especially now that she was not short of money. Even if she wanted to do business, her family would not agree.
And one thing is that in terms of study, she was surpassed by her sister who was two years younger than her. The sister was a local child and also studied painting part-time. She felt extremely ashamed and worked even harder.
So Tianjiao thought she could see the heroine killing everyone in the business world, but it didn't happen. The plot seemed to be going off track. She panicked and asked in a roundabout way, "Yanran, don't you think that the current study is too easy for us? Do you want to do something else?"
Zhang Yanran exclaimed, and when she understood what Tianjiao meant, she pursed her lips and smiled, shaking her head: "No, I found that I wasted a lot of time before, and wasted a lot of things. Now I have to master the high school knowledge points as soon as possible and start studying for university."
Tianjiao blinked. As far as she remembered, although the heroine was good at studying, she had not reached this stage. She firmly grasped the position of top five in age and put the rest of her energy into her career. She made a name for herself for the Zhang family early on, and then went to university, and started doing all kinds of business from her freshman year.
Zhang Yanran thought she didn't understand, so she added, "I checked before and found that many universities allow dual degrees. I'm interested in both, so I'm going to study now so I can skip a grade later. I'll also take the college entrance exam next June and enter university soon."
With this calculation, time is also tight, Tianjiao asked: "What is it?"
“Finance and history.”
Tianjiao understood that the heroine herself liked classical culture very much, but her energy was limited, so she basically just appreciated it and didn't appreciate it for a long time. This also appeared several times in the original work. In the future, when she had enough financial resources, she even made a lot of contributions to the recovery of antiques in the Flower Kingdom.
I see.
This is because now that I am free from financial pressure, I have developed interests other than making money.
She thought about it and said, "Then I'll skip a grade too."
Zhang Yanran was very happy: "Okay, you will be fine."
"You will be fine too!"
The two of them encouraged each other and plunged into the ocean of learning together.
But in terms of busyness, Zhang Yanran is busier because she has started to learn university knowledge, and Tianjiao can still spare some time to paint to relax.
…
Time flies. The college entrance examination, which was resumed after a decade, was held in the cold winter. There were more than three million participants, but the number of admissions was very small, especially in top universities.
But because the country is short of talent and there is a lot of compensation for college students, so after the college entrance examination, those who have been to college come back and tell about their college experiences. Everyone is so excited that they go home and beat up their own children who don't like to study.
Going to college doesn’t cost money, the government will give you money, which is a great thing.
In particular, the higher the score, the better, and the more subsidies you can get.
There were no local college students in Lanshan Village, but there were still a few college students in the county town, some even from first-class universities. After word of mouth spread, this news made people even more envious.
As a family with two top-achieving girls, the Zhang family is envied by many people: "Your family is so lucky, you will definitely have a college student, and you will get two subsidies when the time comes."
The Zhang family accepted the villagers' teasing and envy well, but it was hard for Dabao, the only poor student.
Every time after being teased, the Zhang family would turn around and press Dabao's neck to teach him a lesson. They beat him with sticks countless times, but it was all useless. Every time he was beaten, he would cry for his parents, but he was still a wild boy.
Tianjiao didn't think much of it. Studying is a way out. If there are other ways out, that's fine too. For example, Xiao He, he doesn't have a diploma, but he can still make money, and his future achievements will definitely be great.
Ding Yushu gave birth to a boy before the Chinese New Year. Not long after she committed suicide, Tianjiao went to their house with Dabao and touched her belly out of curiosity.
Ding Yushu naturally refused, but she felt very guilty after that incident. Zhang Zhi happened to be at home, so despite Zhang Zhi's disapproval, she still agreed and touched him.
Just once is enough.
Enough for her to transmit the energy she had prepared.
So when the child was born, although his body was a little weak, he was not so fragile that he would get sick easily.
Because the second grandson of the Zhang family was born, Zhang Dagen and Li Mizhen spent this year very happily. Even though they hated Ding Yushu, they kept sending her all kinds of good things, hoping that she would take good care of herself and breastfeed the child well.
The transition year from 1977 to 1978 was the most comfortable year for the Zhang family.
Ding Yushu, who had just finished her confinement, also came with her second baby. The family sat in the main room with the door closed. There was a brazier in the middle and everyone sat around it, feeling warm. When the food was ready, they sat at another table to eat. Ding Yushu didn't say anything, but with the child around, they were happy.
Tianjiao and Zhang Yanran both received considerable New Year's money, but Dabao got a little less because he almost failed the final exam. Erbao also received some, and judging by Ding Yushu's smiling face, the money must have been quite a lot.
After Tianjiao got the money, he immediately gave it to Zhang Rui: "Dad, this is for you."
Zhang Rui accepted it as a matter of course and put it in his pocket.
Li Mizhen's eyelids twitched and she wanted to slap him: "The child is already in the second year of high school, why are you still taking her money? We have to give her some money during the Chinese New Year after a year."
Zhang Rui chuckled and didn't explain: "I can't help it. My daughter is filial to me. She will give me the money she makes in the future."
Li Mizhen finally couldn't help but hit Zhang Rui, then pulled Tianjiao and stuffed a dollar into her hand: "Your father is not reasonable, this grandma is giving it to you, don't give it to him."
Tianjiao accepted it with a smile: "Thank you, grandma."
Thanks to her father for taking the blame, otherwise she wouldn’t know how to explain her weird luck.
Zhang Rui winked at her.
Li Mizhen glared back at him angrily.
But on the morning of the first day of the new year, Tianjiao got up and Zhang Rui was visiting every household to wish everyone a happy new year. When he came back and put the food or cigarettes in his pocket on the table, he saw Tianjiao coming out. He handed her a candy and asked, "Are there any left?"
Tianjiao knew what he was talking about as soon as she heard it. This was a secret that only they knew. She pouted and said, "No more."
She clearly put one dollar under her pillow before going to bed. She slept in a very good posture and the quilt on her body was not messy when she woke up. But the money was gone.
Zhang Rui snorted and laughed: "Forget it, just consider it as gathering blessings. Go wash up and go to pay New Year's greetings. Just now when I went there, those aunts were still wondering why my beautiful daughter didn't come."
Tianjiao's face turned red and he skipped to wash up. After two steps, he realized something was wrong and slowed down again.
She is an adult now and can't be so lively anymore.
…
"What? Going door to door to wish everyone a happy new year?" Zhang Yanran was struck by lightning when she heard this. So this is actually a custom?
Xu Qiu was also puzzled: "Why?"
Tianjiao shook his head, also a little confused: "I don't know, but we go here every year during the Chinese New Year. There are so many delicious foods, they have prepared them, let's each take a bag."
Zhang Yanran's face twisted for a moment, and she asked with some difficulty: "You want another bag?"
This genius understood that even though she had adapted for six years, it was still a little awkward to recover her memory now, but this kind of thing was still quite fun.
Dabao was born and raised here, and was very interested in this. He had already got his bag and was waiting: "Sister, hurry up, it will be too late if you don't go now."
Everyone in the family got up early today. It should be said that everyone in the whole village got up early. I guess people started setting off firecrackers one after another before six o'clock. They were considered late. When Tianjiao was still asleep, people kept coming to the Zhang family to wish a happy new year.
If you go to pay New Year's greetings too late, someone will feel uncomfortable.
Zhang Yanran was reluctant to go and was reluctant to move. Even when Dabao stuffed the bag into her hand, she didn't move.
Zhang Dong, who had gotten up early, looked at his daughter, who had always been calm since childhood, and smiled: "Go ahead, your brothers and sisters are waiting for you."
Xu Qiu also joined in: "Go ahead, it's a good opportunity to see the customs here."
Zhang Yanran gritted her teeth.
Tianjiao watched and laughed for a long time, then took her hand and said, "Let's go, let's go together."
Zhang Yanran had no choice but to follow, and each of the three children held a bag in their hands.
When they got to the yard, they saw Xiao He standing in the yard with his pockets full. Li Mizhen just let him go and touched his head with a smile: "Oh, Jiaojiao finally came out. Xiao He has been waiting for you for a long time. Hurry up and take him to pay New Year's greetings. He can talk now. You should go out more and meet more people."
Xiao He looked a little unnatural, obviously he rarely encountered such actions.
He just came to pay New Year's greetings to the Zhang family as usual.
When Xiao He saw Tianjiao coming out, the word "liberation" appeared on his face.
Tianjiao let go of Zhang Yanran's hand, ran to him, and said playfully, "Happy New Year to you, and may you make a fortune. Give me the red envelope!"
Xiao He pursed his lips and smiled, then handed her the red envelope he had prepared long ago: "Happy New Year!"
He spoke each word slowly, giving the impression that he took it very seriously.
Tianjiao's smile deepened and she accepted the red envelope. However, after she looked at the money inside, she immediately handed the red envelope to Zhang Yanran: "This is for the food expenses for the next semester."
"..." Zhang Yanran was embarrassed. How could this be possible?
Are kids nowadays so good at dating?
Only twelve years old?
Even if Xiao He is older, he is only thirteen years old, right?
Fortunately, the few people did not linger in the yard for a long time, but went out quickly. Xiao He did not go with them to pay New Year's greetings. After Song Zhen and Li Mu paid New Year's greetings, he stayed there. Tianjiao, Zhang Yanran and others came out and paid New Year's greetings all over the village.
Lanshan Village is not big, with less than fifty households. Because the village is small, every family is familiar with each other. Tianjiao is very favored in the village. Whenever she goes there, the aunts will always take out the good things hidden in their homes, such as candies that are rarely seen on weekdays, specially made fried fish, rice bubbles and other delicious little things. In just half of the village, Tianjiao's bag is full.
Zhang Yanran was pretty, and although she didn’t have as many things as Tianjiao, she still had quite a bit, so her bag was mostly full, except for Dabao, whose bag was only half full.
Dabao followed them back to get the bag again, and complained to his grandmother with a sad and angry face: "Grandma, didn't everyone say that everyone likes boys?"
Li Mizhen looked puzzled: "Who told you that? Obviously everyone likes girls. Girls are so good. They are well-behaved, sensible, obedient and good at studying."
"But I clearly heard that everyone wants to have a boy!" Dabao felt that his grandmother was just trying to fool him.
Li Mizhen explained: "That's because boys are needed to carry on the family line. If they don't need to carry on the family line, I believe everyone would be willing to have girls."
Dabao: “…”
He was not happy at all this year. The difference from previous years could be explained by the fact that his sister was indeed likable. He knew from childhood that he would have more food to eat if he followed his sister. But now that a cousin came, how come she had more food than him?
Tianjiao snorted proudly and continued to the next house.
When she woke up this morning, the first thing she did was to wish a happy new year to Tiandao's father. Tiandao was naturally different, and he just hoped to lose less money today.
As they were talking, the three of them arrived at the Qian family. Aunt Qian was one of the most stingy people in the village. Today was New Year's Day, and the food prepared on their table was the most common peanuts. Other families also prepared a lot of melon seeds, which was impossible for her family.
However, when Tianjiao brought Zhang Yanran and Dabao in, Aunt Qian immediately smiled: "Jiaojiao is here!"
Tianjiao smiled sweetly and said in a tender voice: "Happy New Year, Auntie. We are here to wish you a happy new year. Wish you good fortune and prosperity. May every year be better than the last."
"Happy New Year, Auntie..."
Zhang Yanran and Dabao also followed suit to wish a happy new year and said some simple auspicious words.
Aunt Qian nodded with a smile: "Okay, all is well."
She pulled Tianjiao straight to the room and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time. You haven't been out much since you entered high school. I've left some good things for you."
Then in the room, she put a few bags of milk in her bag: "My son brought this back during the Chinese New Year. He said it's very delicious and nutritious. You're growing up, so it's good for you to drink some of this."
Tianjiao thanked: "Thank you, auntie."
"Go out and play more in the future. Don't read too much and become stupid." Auntie was still mumbling.
Then, looking at the two remaining children, she reluctantly took a bag of milk and gave it to Zhang Yanran. This girl was also likable. As for Dabao, why would a boy drink milk? She gave him a handful of peanuts and sent him away.
When Qian Cheng, the son of Aunt Qian, came back, he saw that half of the milk he brought back was missing. His eyes widened immediately and he asked, "Mom, you gave the milk to someone else?"
The tone was full of surprise.
Aunt Qian nodded: "Yes, Jiaojiao just arrived."
Qian Cheng understood: "Oh."
Aunt Qian smiled and said, "That girl is getting prettier and prettier. She really doesn't look like a country girl at all. But the daughter of the Zhang family's elder daughter is also pretty. The Zhang family will definitely enjoy the blessing of these two daughters in the future."
As she was talking, she was tidying up the room. As soon as she picked up the box of milk, she saw something in the box. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be ten yuan?
****
Paying New Year’s greetings really allowed Zhang Yanran to experience the local customs. She felt awkward and embarrassed at first, but later on she enjoyed it. It was quite good. On the way she met other children in the village who were also paying New Year’s greetings. They held bags and compared them to see who had more gifts, and then went their separate ways.
The food I got for New Year’s greetings was not finished in one day, so I continued eating it the next day.
The happy first day of the New Year ends and the second day of the New Year arrives.
As a junior, you must follow your elders to pay New Year’s greetings.
The direction to pay New Year's greetings is Li Mizhen's parents' home, because Zhang Yanran and Tianjiao don't have a grandmother to pay New Year's greetings to.
Zhang Yanran's maternal family, the Xu family, is a very good family in China. The two sisters had no choice but to join the army because the family did not want to support two more children.
