Chapter 270 The straight back finally bent down (Page 1/2)

After entering the house and putting down her things, Zhang Xiaozhen asked her parents, "Are my eldest brother, second brother, Xiaohui and my youngest brother not at home?"

"Your eldest brother took your second brother and your sister to collect firewood. As for your youngest brother, I don't know where he went to play. He wiped his mouth after eating and ran away." Han Shicai smiled and poured them some water.

"Thank you, Auntie." Nian Nian took it with a smile.

"Don't be polite with your aunt." Han Shicai was obviously in a very good mood.

Zhang Xiaozhen took the water her mother handed over and said with a smile, "Mom, when was our house renovated?"

The house was completely different from when she left.

"It was renovated the year before last. Your father and your eldest brother went there and brought back some bricks, stones and tiles, and renovated the house." Han Shicai said with a smile.

They live a frugal life and have saved all the money their daughter sent back over the years except for some necessary expenses.

But the year before last, because my son was getting married, the original house was really a bit shabby, so we renovated it inside and out.

The labor was free, but the bricks and tiles were very expensive, and it cost me two hundred dollars.

But the house is really brighter now than before.

Seeing his daughter and son-in-law coming back, Han Shicai was glad that he had renovated the old house. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a joke if he brought his son-in-law back and had nowhere to stay?

After drinking some water, Zhang Xiaozhen followed her mother to look at the house. Chen Li, the eldest sister-in-law, also went with them. Nian Lixi stayed to talk and chat with his father-in-law.

Zhang Fa asked about what was happening in the army.

Since everything his father-in-law asked could be answered, Nian Lixi would answer every question.

While we were chatting, the neighbors came over.

They all came to visit Zhang Xiaozhen and Nian Xi.

Hearing the sound, Han Shicai also brought Zhang Xiaozhen and Chen Li out.

"Oh, it's really your Xiaozhen? When you called me just now, I didn't dare to recognize her. I was even wondering whose girl this was?" said an auntie with a smile.

Another lady nearby said, "My eyesight is good. I saw a vague shadow of Xiaozhen from the past, so I wondered if it was your Xiaozhen. And it turned out to be her."

Han Shicai was of course happy, and he greeted them with a smile, and introduced Nian Xi to them, "This is Xiaozhen's boyfriend Lai Xi. Lai Xi, this is your fourth aunt, and your aunt Zhou."

Nian Lixi smiled and called out, "Fourth Aunt, Hello Aunt Zhou."

"Okay, where are you from? Your accent doesn't sound like it's from here."

"Yes, my home is in the next province."

"The next province? That's fine. Did you meet in the army?"

"Yes……"

“…”

Aunt Zhang and Aunt Zhou are both talkative people. While chatting, they also did not forget to ask some questions. Later in the conversation, they also turned their attention to this sewing machine.

When they found out that this was one of the gifts for the bride, they were full of praise and envy.

Where are there so many wealthy families in the village who can give such a large dowry?

It would be quite good if you could prepare sixteen legs or twenty-four legs.

How could I possibly give you big items like sewing machines and watches?

Looking at the entire Zhangjia Village, only the old branch secretary and the team leader each have a watch!

It can be seen that Nian Nian Xi, the son-in-law, is very generous.

Soon, everyone in the village knew about this.

Not only in the village, but also the eldest sister Zhang Xiaojuan who married into the next village, and the second aunt Han Shiyun heard the news.

Zhang Xiaojuan's marriage was introduced by her second aunt Han Shiyun, and she married into the family of the village team leader as a daughter-in-law.

Life is not rich, but we have enough food and clothing.

When the two heard the news, they came back together, but Chen Youquan was a little angry, so he did not come back.

When Han Shiyun came back from her parents' home with a smile on her face, he sneered: "It's not like Qiaohui married into a good family, why are you so happy?"
