Chapter 302: Sisters Reunion All the sisters are here, laughing and talking, good...
Faced with the olive branch thrown by President Chao, Yao Taotao did not lose her mind and accepted it directly.
After much thought, she suggested, "I can help, but I'm not qualified for the editor-in-chief position, nor can I do it well. I'm different from Zhizhi. She was already a columnist for Yicheng Daily before joining the publishing house. But even so, there are still people who question her ability, and even cause farces like big-character posters. I'll just be an intern editor."
Chao Risheng was a little surprised. He didn't expect that Yao Taotao was so humble. So he decided to promote one of the original employees. They had worked for so many years, so those who deserved a promotion should be promoted.
After leaving the publishing house, Yao Ningning looked at her second sister silently, her mind full of questions.
Yao Taotao smiled and said, "Do you think I should go next?"
Yao Ningning nodded. He was the editor-in-chief, not just a small fry. His salary and benefits should be different from those of an intern editor.
Anyway, there has been an editor-in-chief with only a primary school education. What's more, my second sister is the co-founder of the magazine. What matters to an editor-in-chief is the ability to judge manuscripts and social trends. My second sister has been helping Zhizhi collect and review manuscripts over the years, and she has already developed this ability. There is really no need to be modest.
Yao Taotao stopped at the intersection and sighed, "Times have changed. Once the college entrance examination is reinstated, future employers will place a premium on academic qualifications. Being the editor-in-chief of a publishing house carries too many responsibilities. I don't have the time to truly take responsibility for the future of the publishing house. It's different for an intern editor; I don't have to give it my all. After all, my energy is limited. I just need to manage the magazine that Zhizhi and I founded. Nothing else matters. I can also save time to study hard. And you, take the exam again next year and make sure you pass. Mengmeng doesn't have the energy, but you are different."
Yao Ningning nodded, and in the afternoon, while Uncle Fan Wen was at home resting and taking care of the child, she rushed to the hospital to get an IUD.
You can wait to have a child later, but you absolutely cannot get pregnant during the exam review period.
A person only has one brain and one pair of hands. If she takes care of her children, she will have no time to study. Now she only has one child, so she can still squeeze out some time to read. More time is really not an option.
When I came back, I happened to meet Cao Guangyuan coming out of the alley. He came to find Yao Yingying and gave the child living expenses and New Year's money. He would not come on New Year's Eve, otherwise Ma Xiangqin would make a fuss.
Yao Ningning ignored him. As they passed by, Cao Guangyuan called out to her, "Third sister, I heard you only missed two points to go to university this time? Let your second sister help you out. You'll definitely be able to go next year."
Yao Ningning doesn't like the Cao brothers. None of them is a good person. The eldest brother is obsessed with sons, sons, and sons. The second brother is also a bad person. He is just obedient because he can't have children.
If Cao Guangyi could have given birth, her second sister would not have been able to take the college entrance examination so easily and without any worries.
When you think about it this way, some men are really a burden to women. These men have no ability themselves and they just force women to give birth. Anyway, they are not the ones who feel the pain.
It's so disgusting, just as disgusting as her parents.
She turned around and walked away, not wanting to say a word to Cao Guangyuan.
Cao Guangyuan felt embarrassed and couldn't help sighing on the way back. The Yao sisters were really amazing. One by one, they found ways to settle down in the city, leaving only the fourth sister still in the countryside. However, he heard from someone a while ago that the fourth sister's husband had been promoted to the commune, and maybe he could be promoted to the city in two years. Then the sisters would be reunited.
Thinking about it, I feel a little regretful. Now Yao Taotao has been admitted to university, and Yao Ningning is just a little bit away. It is conceivable that these sisters will surely prosper in the future.
By then, he and Guangyi would be the only two clowns left: one, cramming a brood of daughters, watching over Ma Xiangqin's belly, desperately hoping for a son; the other, all alone, spending his days buying folk remedies, hoping for a miracle that would grant him the ability to have children. I'm afraid that when that time comes, Guangyi won't say that having daughters is better than having none, but will, like him, yearn for a son all day long.
Alas... Cao Guangyuan was in a trance for a moment, and always felt that the tragedy of the two brothers might come from this obsession with pursuing his son.
It’s too late to look back now. No matter how bitter and difficult life is, we have to grit our teeth and move forward.
When he got home, he looked at his adopted little daughter, forced a smile, and went to wash the child's diapers.
While they were busy, Ma Xiangqin screamed. Cao Guangyuan was startled and put down the diaper in his hand. He ran back and saw that his mother was rolling her eyes and seemed to be in great pain.
It's over! Today is the 27th day of the twelfth lunar month, when every household is busy preparing for the Chinese New Year. His mother is really good at choosing the right time.
But there was no other way. No matter how bad it was, it was still his fault. Cao Guangyuan quickly went to the next door to call Cao Guangyi and sent him to the hospital for emergency treatment. It would be best if he could survive until February of the next year, so that both the twelfth month and the first month of the year would be over and it wouldn't be too unlucky.
Two brothers squatted outside the emergency room, one smoking to relieve his anxiety, the other following the doctor's advice and paying attention to his health in order to maintain his ability to have children, and resolutely not smoking.
Cao Guangyi walked over and took the cigarette from Cao Guangyuan's hand: "Don't smoke anymore, or you might end up with a deformed baby."
Cao Guangyuan grabbed his hair in pain and said, "Today is the beginning of spring. If our mother doesn't make it, the beginning of spring every year will be her death anniversary. It's too unlucky."
"Are you stupid? Your family's death anniversary follows the 24 solar terms?" Cao Guangyi rolled his eyes.
Cao Guangyuan was speechless: "That's not what I said. Every year when the beginning of spring comes, I will remember that it is her death anniversary. Even if the date doesn't match, I will still think about it in my heart."
"It doesn't matter. She can leave whenever she wants. I'm not picky." Cao Guangyi has been feeling down lately.
He should be happy that Yao Taotao got into university, but he knew better than anyone that this meant that he and Yao Taotao would never be together again.
It was already a stroke of luck that the two brothers were able to marry the two sisters. Now, what can he use to match with Yao Taotao?
A useless guy who is nearly 30 years old and has just become a workshop foreman.
One of them is a beautiful and youthful college student.
Yao Taotao is the leisurely cloud in the sky, and he is the loach in the muddy puddle on the ground. The cloud is just blown by the strong wind, and occasionally reflects its beautiful shadow on the surface of his water. It is he who does not cherish it and insists on jumping around in the muddy puddle, making the already turbid water even more turbid, and even the shadow of the cloud cannot be seen clearly.
When he came to his senses, the clouds had been blown away by the wind, forever and ever, never to intersect with him again.
He was very sad. In order to commemorate that short marriage, he planned to adopt a child in a while so that he wouldn't feel lonely when he came home from get off work.
Why do people have to get married and have children? Even though they know it will be tiring and difficult, they still keep going and having children.
Because many people just can't stand loneliness, just like him, who would rather be scolded and forced to kneel by Yao Taotao every day than come home from get off work to find only cold pots and pans waiting for him.
Soon, the door of the emergency room opened, and the medical staff shook their heads regretfully, saying, "It's impossible to save the patient. Please accept my condolences."
Is he really dead? The two brothers looked at each other, sighed silently, and hurried to contact the funeral home early the next morning.
Ma Xiangqin reacted strongly. After all, she had lived in the countryside since she was a child, and was influenced by these things. According to her mother, if an elder died in the family during the Chinese New Year, the descendants would definitely have bad luck the following year.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became, but she was reluctant to give up her life in the city, divorce and return to the countryside. She had no choice but to arrange the funeral while being angry, and she spent the entire New Year sighing.
Cao Guangyuan really couldn't stand it anymore, so he used the excuse of going to Liutiao Hutong to notify his two daughters to come back to kowtow and keep vigil, and he didn't come back for the whole afternoon.
Ma Xiangqin was suspicious and thought that Cao Guangyuan was staying with Yao Yingying and would not leave. She immediately stuffed the two children into Cao Guangyi's arms and went to his house to quarrel with him.
When they arrived at Liutiao Hutong, they found that Cao Guangyuan was not in the yard at all. There were only a few sisters from the Yao family, who were smiling and making steamed buns together.
Even Yao Mengmeng from the countryside came, her belly big, and her two children were there. All four Yao sisters were present, laughing and talking, making the place lively and bustling.
When Yao Mengmeng saw her coming, she immediately frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Ma Xiangqin rolled her eyes awkwardly, "I'm looking for your eldest sister. The child's grandmother has passed away. I want them to go back and kowtow and keep vigil."
"Guarding the spirits of your ancestors for eighteen generations!" Yao Mengmeng kicked him directly. "Get out of here. You can kill as many people as you want in your family. It's none of my eldest sister and the children's business. You've been divorced for several years. What kind of spirits are you guarding? If you come here and scream again, I'll kick you to death!"
Ma Xiangqin has been a scoundrel since she was a child. She has never lost to anyone in fighting or swearing, but today, she actually met her match.
She couldn't swallow this and raised her hand to fight back, but Yao Mengmeng reacted quickly, grabbed her wrist and slapped her twice as a gesture of respect.
Ma Xiangqin was stunned by the beating. This woman was so fierce, with great strength, speed, stability, accuracy and ruthlessness. After beating her, she pushed her hard and made her fall to the ground. The children around her all laughed and watched her make a fool of herself.
Her face was burning and the corners of her mouth were broken and bleeding. She looked extremely miserable.
No, she couldn't swallow this humiliation, so she immediately got up and wanted to fight Yao Mengmeng to the death.
This alarmed Liu Hongwei and Fan Wenshu who were helping to check the accounts in the room.
Two men came out together, one on the left and one on the right, held Ma Xiangqin and threw her out.
Now Ma Xiangqin calmed down. There was a man here, so why didn’t she tell him earlier? She just ran away.
The two returned to the yard and closed the door directly.
Liu Hongwei smiled and picked up Yao Mengmeng's son, weighing him in his arms. "Second sister, there's no problem with your share of the profits with the publishing house. I didn't expect you to be so rich. Are you really planning to buy a house near the school?"
"Yes, I've inquired about it. The school has just built a new staff dormitory and has vacated an old dormitory that is ready to be rented out or sold. When I buy it, you can come over and get together often, and bring the children to the city to broaden their horizons." Yao Taotao smiled as she looked at her relatives in the yard. The only regret in her heart was that Zhizhi's family was not there.
Just as she was thinking about it, a gunshot was heard outside the door. Yao Taotao was so scared that she quickly dropped the dough in her hand and went out to see what happened.
