The old lady asked Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan to go, while she stayed home to help take care of the children.
Ye Zhaozhao also thought that they would have to take a car all the way, so she didn't take them with her.
She and Gu Yunduan first took a tractor to the county town, and then took a bus to the city.
The two of them went to a department store first, bought cigarettes, alcohol, and various pastries, and then carried them to their uncle's house.
Grandma had said that both of them worked at the factory, and the factory compound was easy to find. Ye Zhaozhao reached out and knocked on the door. After a while, a woman opened the door.
“Aunt, I am Zhao Zhao, and this is my husband, Gu Yunduan.”
"You've arrived, come in."
Ye Zhaozhao went inside and put her things down. The woman glanced at the things the two had brought and looked disdainful.
Ye Zhaozhao did not miss the expression on her face.
Gu Yunduan felt the same way about not liking her aunt anymore.
After a while, a man came out of the house.
"It's Zhaozhao."
Ye Zhaozhao immediately felt that the couple was dishonest. Her second uncle was clearly inside the house, but she made her aunt come out to deal with them.
Although my grandmother said something before she left: this aunt is not easy to get along with.
But Ye Zhaozhao didn't expect that while they were still there, her aunt would start to give her attitude.
"Why don't you stay home for lunch?"
Ye Zhaozhao shook her head and said that she was just here to get acquainted with the place and wouldn't stay for dinner.
When they heard the two say they weren't going to eat, they didn't try to stop them.
As soon as the two people reached the door, Ye Zhaozhao heard sounds coming from inside the house.
"Shen Jianxing, don't let your poor relatives bother me anymore. I don't want to see them."
“Cuiping, this isn’t a poor relative, she’s my sister’s daughter. I heard from my older brother that she married a regimental commander.”
"So what if I'm the regimental commander? Don't forget, my dad is the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau."
"What would people think of him if they knew he had so many poor relatives?"
"Cuiping, I won't let them come again."
Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan were furious. Gu Yunduan felt that no matter what, he couldn't let his wife go to the state-run restaurant hungry.
Ye Zhaozhao had heard the old lady mention that her second uncle was a son-in-law who married into the family, and the family usually didn't contact him.
Upon seeing the food, Ye Zhaozhao forgot all her unhappiness and finished her meal.
Gu Yunduan suggested she go shopping at a nearby department store while he went to find his comrade-in-arms.
"Honey, take your time shopping. Just make sure you catch the bus back this afternoon."
"good."
Ye Zhaozhao thought that they would be going back in a few days, so she went to the department store to buy clothes and shoes for her grandmother and her two uncles and aunts.
The children also bought face cream, except for Erzhu and Liu Zhaodi.
My two aunts' faces cracked in the winter, and they also had chilblains on their hands; they need to take good care of themselves.
Meanwhile, Gu Yunduan asked his comrade about the deputy director of the Public Security Bureau, and his comrade felt that Gu Yunduan had come to the right place today.
"The deputy director was reported a couple of days ago, and he won't be out of office for long."
Gu Yunduan thought that he had brought this upon himself. Since he had already fallen from power, there was no need for him to take action. Ye Zhaozhao then asked about Shen Jianxing's family.
"Shen Jianxing is not a very serious worker, and his wife Li Cuiping is not a serious worker either."
If they reacted even slightly, the two of them would have a hard time in the factory.
"These two women are nothing special; the important thing is their son, who relies on his family's wealth..."
All he does all day is drink, drink, drink. Should I deal with him?
"Okay, you handle it. I'm leaving now."
"Yun Duan, when are you going to introduce me to your sister-in-law?"
"When there's another opportunity."
When Gu Yunduan arrived at the department store, Ye Zhaozhao had just finished shopping.
He naturally took the things from her hands, and on the way back, Gu Yunduan still talked about Li Cuiping's father.
"Gu Yunduan, thank you."
"Wife, no need to thank me. I didn't do anything. It's their own fault for not living a good life."
Liu Zhaodi's eyes widened when she saw Ye Zhaozhao carrying so many things back.
But after the money was distributed to the whole family, there was nothing left for their family, and Liu Zhaodi couldn't stand it anymore.
"Ye Zhaozhao, what do you mean? Why won't you buy us clothes and shoes?"
"Why should I buy it for you? Did you pay me with money or tickets?"
Ye Zhaozhao asked with a serious expression, making Liu Zhaodi even more embarrassed. The others ignored her and happily went to try on clothes and shoes.
They didn't have any new clothes for the Chinese New Year, but Zhaozhao bought them some.
The two aunts were overjoyed; they could finally use this face cream like people in the city.
Ye Zhaozhao didn't hide Shen Jianxing and Li Cuiping's affair from the old lady, and even said that Li Cuiping's family was about to collapse. The old lady snorted coldly.
This is their own doing. The old lady doesn't intend to interfere, and she can't interfere anyway. Ye Zhaozhao is satisfied with the old lady's attitude.
Liu Zhaodi was unwilling to accept that she hadn't received the clothes and shoes. She thought that once the house was built, they would move out immediately, as she couldn't stand staying in this house for even a day longer.
Ye Zhaozhao and Gu Yunduan won't be able to stay at home for many more days. The old lady cooks delicious food for them every day and tells Ye Zhaozhao to come back later.
Ye Zhaozhao nodded, putting aside Shen Jianxing's family and that idiot Liu Zhaodi.
The others were very kind to her, and Shen Yun was also very sad to learn that Ye Zhaozhao and the others were leaving.
After she became more beautiful, people greeted her on the street, and since the beginning of the year, several families have come to her door to propose marriage.
Shen Yun was very grateful to Ye Zhaozhao. Knowing that she was also going to university in Kyoto, Ye Zhaozhao made a promise to meet her in Kyoto.
"Cousin, do you think I can pass the exam?"
