Finally, he added, "Except my sister-in-law."
Second aunt's face was full of excitement: "What? Everyone is going?"
Because she was so excited, her voice almost cracked. She was afraid that the one in the eldest room would hear, so she lowered her voice and asked, "Is everyone going?"
Uncle He nodded: "Hmm..."
Second Aunt's eyes widened. "Except for my eldest sister-in-law, there are almost twenty of us. How can we accommodate so many people?"
"Yes, they can live here. Jiajia's house is a quadrangle courtyard with two entrances. There are more than ten rooms in each entrance, which is more than enough for these people to live here."
This was the first time my second aunt had heard of this. She was completely stunned. "Is it this big? Aren't houses in big cities usually very compact? Why would the company give Jia Jia such a big house?"
Speaking of this, He Erjiu was very proud: "The property certificate is written in her name. If she didn't have some ability, would the government give her such a house?"
My second aunt's heart was pounding. She covered her chest and said, "Oh my god, so many houses? Oh, thank goodness there are so many houses. Otherwise, I would be worried about how to accommodate so many children in the family in the future!"
That's how elders are, always worrying about this and that.
After saying this, the second aunt paused for a moment, then continued, "I'll go discuss with the third daughter-in-law about what to bring."
"Avoid the sister-in-law."
My second aunt laughed: "I know it even if you don't tell me."
The second aunt came to the third room and told the third aunt that Xu Jiajia had invited them to celebrate the New Year.
After hearing this, my third aunt paced back and forth excitedly: "I, I can go, go to Kyoto too?"
My second aunt also looked excited: "Well, I came to discuss with you what to bring. I heard that food in the city is rationed. Otherwise, we should bring more food."
The third room was short of a laborer this year, so their work points were much less, and their allotment of grain and money was also less: "Sure, I'll go find the team leader and buy 200 kilograms of grain."
Second Aunt: "The hunter has some dried rabbits. I'll buy ten of them, and also two hundred kilograms of grain, one hundred kilograms of sweet potatoes, fifty kilograms of peanuts, and flour.
I'll take the wheat to process it later."
Speaking of processing, my third aunt remembered something: "Today is the last day, we have to go quickly."
My second aunt, who originally wanted to chat for a while, had no time to sit still: "I'll go get the wheat now."
As soon as the second aunt left, the third aunt went to find her eldest son, He Zhiqiang: "Zhiqiang, take 100 kilograms of wheat to process."
He Zhiqiang was stunned: "Do you have to grind so much? It's only a hundred pounds in total, and it will be gone after grinding!"
Third aunt lowered her voice and said, "It's for Jiajia. She asked us to go to Kyoto for the New Year..."
Before he finished speaking, He Zhiqiang instantly became excited, his brows full of joy: "I can really go to Beijing..."
Before she could finish her words, her third aunt covered her mouth and warned her, "Keep your voice down, do you want to attract your eldest aunt?"
He Zhiqiang looked guilty: "Mom, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it."
After saying that, he became cheerful again: "Mom, when are we going? Is only the third room going?"
Third Aunt: "Except your eldest aunt, everyone should go. Don't let the news leak out."
He Zhiqiang nodded heavily: "I'm not a big mouth, I definitely won't say anything outside. Mom, do you think I will also get a job like Dad?"
Third aunt rolled her eyes at him and said unhappily, "Do you think work is just stones that you can pick up on the street whenever you want?"
He Zhiqiang touched the tip of his nose awkwardly: "That's right."
night.
Uncle He gathered everyone for a meeting.
When everyone learned that they were going to Kyoto to celebrate the New Year, they were so excited that they were speechless.
There's less work in the fields in winter, so a few fewer people working wouldn't be a problem. But He Tao is a worker, and he only has four days off for the New Year, which is not enough to go to Kyoto. "I need a leave of absence, maybe half a month."
He Tao's wife tilted her head and looked at him: "How about you not go? You can take half a month off and lose half your salary."
Although He Tao was reluctant to give up half of his salary, he also knew that if he didn't make it this time, he didn't know if he would have another chance next time. He gritted his teeth and said, "Go."
Grandma He and Uncle He were not at home, so Uncle He was the eldest in the He family. He glanced at everyone present and said, "Everyone go, but you can't go empty-handed. You can take some food or something. How much you take depends on your personal preference.
Also, before you leave, don't reveal it to anyone, not even to Tao Zi's mother."
Everyone promised in unison: "I won't tell."
"I won't tell you either."
When my aunt came back from her parents' home, she saw that the first and third rooms were all dark, with only the lights on in the second room, and there were voices talking, as if they were discussing something.
She walked over to eavesdrop, but He Xiaoxiao suddenly opened the door. Her aunt, who was trying to eavesdrop with her ear close to her, was careless and almost fell to the ground.
She steadied herself, looked at He Xiaoxiao, and said unhappily, "You silly girl, is this how you open the door?"
This is completely a case of putting the blame on someone else.
He Xiaoxiao doesn't like her aunt very much. Whenever there is something wrong at home, she will bring it to her mother's house. She is not nice to her cousins either.
In her heart, there are only her younger brother, nephew and niece from her mother's side.
"Auntie, I was asking you what you were doing here, and you're actually trying to turn the tables on me?"
She's already a grandmother, yet she still eavesdrops. That's outrageous!
My aunt stretched her neck to look and saw that everyone from the first, second and third rooms were there. Her face changed and she looked at everyone present angrily: "Are you hiding something from me?"
Second Uncle He stood up and looked at her calmly: "What could we possibly be hiding from you?
We sat together and discussed what to send to Mom in Kyoto!
If you want to listen, you can sit down and listen."
When the aunt thought about it, it was true. In the past, when the old lady was in her hometown, everyone would discuss what to get her during the Chinese New Year, but she didn't participate at that time.
