Chapter 27 Spring Festival (1)
Stepfather Nanjiang Cheng has two sons, the eldest Nanhui and the second Nantian.
The boss Nan Hui is the pride of Nanjiang City.
Nan Hui's grades have been very good since he was a child, and he is studying in Haishi as a graduate student. He is a man of integrity and has strong working ability. It is hard to imagine that such a father could give birth to such an outstanding son.
The second child, Nantian, is most like his father. He has been working for a year after graduating from college. His personality is as stubborn, extreme and selfish as his father. He lives in the work dormitory and rarely goes home. Usually, father and son rarely contact each other, but they will call when something happens.
After graduating from graduate school, the boss in the previous life entered a private company in Haishi. The second child works in a factory near home.
The two elder brothers later married and had children, and the embarrassment and conflicts in the combined family became increasingly prominent.
Let me talk about my sister-in-law first. Nan Jingyi envied her sister-in-law's good fortune.
In her previous life, Nan Jingyi had nothing to say to her two brothers and only nodded and said hello to her two sisters-in-law.
A person's destiny may have been arranged by God,
especially a woman's life and her husband are closely related.
When you are young, you have the discernment to find a good husband. After you turn forty, you can enjoy happiness with your husband. My sister-in-law Zhu Mei is an example.
Just compare it to when you were young! In the previous life, Nan Jingyi was very beautiful when she was young, while Zhu Mei, who came from a small county town, was short, fat and plain-looking.
But more than ten years later, the contrast is obvious. My sister-in-law Zhu Mei is happy, has no worries about food and clothing, and leads a prosperous life. Among the female classmates in college, she lives the best life even compared with the people around her.
Maybe this is life!
Zhu Mei and Nan Hui met and fell in love in college. Nan Hui was knowledgeable and eloquent. Zhu Mei is also generous and decent in her dealings with others.
When the couple got married in the 1990s, their father had little money to give them, so the couple relied on themselves to manage the family bit by bit.
Zhu Mei puts hardship first and enjoys happiness last.
While Nanhui was working hard outside, Zhumei was at home alone, having to work and take care of her son. Her own mother came over from time to time to help her take care of the children. This life lasted for several years.
After all the hardships come joy, Zhu Mei's good days have come.
A few years later, Nan Hui rose to prominence and became a senior executive of a private company. His annual salary increased from the initial one million to more than two million, and many companies competed for him.
Nan Hui asked Zhu Mei to resign and become a full-time housewife. She and her son followed Nan Hui to Haishi.
His son studied in the best school in Hai City. Although his grades were not as good as those of Nan Hui, he had money. His son took the TOEFL exam and went abroad to study. Zhu Mei followed him to study in the United States. When he returned to China a few years later, he was already a Kuotai, who has seen the big world.
After 2000, Nan Hui and Zhu Mei bought houses in many cities across the country, and their assets exceeded 10 million.
In contrast, Nan Jingyi followed her scumbag husband Gu Qiang. Not only was she mediocre and impoverished, but Gu Qiang also cheated on her. In the end, Nan Jingyi was heartbroken and regretted her whole life.
This is Nan Jingyi's fate...
Some people say that beautiful women have a bad fate. Nan Jingyi is an example.
Some people say that doing well is not as good as marrying well. Zhu Mei is a typical example.
Now, Nan Jingyi lives a new life, and she wants to change her life! She has to work hard. Since she can't rely on a man, she must rely on herself!
Having said that, Nan Hui is currently studying in Haishi for graduate school and will graduate in half a year.
Nanjiang Cheng looked at his eldest son who hadn't come back for more than half a year. He was very happy, and the wrinkles on his face were all gone when he smiled.
"Xiao Hui, look at how you've lost weight again. It's hard work at school, so take rest and eat well."
Nan Hui nodded, "Dad, don't worry, I'm fine, don't worry!"
"I'm back, that's it. Have a good rest at home for a few days." Nanjiang Cheng smiled happily, the boss is his pride.
"Why didn't Zhu Mei come back?" Nanjiang Cheng asked the eldest daughter-in-law.
"There is something going on at home. Her uncle is seriously ill and cannot come back to her parents' home during the Spring Festival." Nan Hui put down the gifts she bought and did not go home for more than half a year to have a good chat with her father.
Although Nan Jingyi and Nan Hui are brother and sister, and she takes her stepfather's surname of Nan, they don't have much affection for each other. After all, they are a combined family that got together in their teens.
Let’s talk about the second child Nantian. Recently, Nantian found a girlfriend and said he would bring her home during the Spring Festival.
Two days before the Spring Festival,
Zhang Ming invited Nan Jingyi to dinner, and the two went to the fish shop where they had eaten last time.
"Zhang Ming, it's thirty the day after tomorrow, why haven't you gone back yet?" Nan Jingyi asked with concern.
Zhang Ming's family is in a neighboring county, and his parents are looking forward to his early return for the Spring Festival.
"I'll go back tomorrow morning. So I'll treat you to dinner today and give me a farewell drink." Zhang Ming smiled and picked up the wine glass. "Come on, I wish you a happy Spring Festival in advance!" "Happy
Spring Festival!" Nan Jingyi picked up the wine glass and continued Asked, "When will you come back? Will you be on duty at the institute?"
Zhang Ming said, "I will be on duty on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year. When I come back, will you pick me up?"
"No problem! Bring me some of your specialties! The food in the mountains is good. Eat."
"Okay!"
The two chatted while drinking, talking about interesting things around them and jokes among their classmates.
Looking at the people walking leisurely by the river, Nan Jingyi felt that the slow life after two days of leisure was really good. It was rare to enjoy it for a few days, and she really wanted to keep it like this.
Jiang Qi also returned to his hometown the next day.
Before he left, he called and said that he would bring special products to Nan Jingyi. Nan Jingyi was very happy. It seemed that he was quite popular.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Zheng Juan got up early and had been busy preparing vegetables since the morning. Nan Jingyi felt sorry for her mother and helped wash the vegetables.
In the previous life, on New Year's Eve every year, neither of the two sisters-in-law came in to help when the family was having dinner. This was what Nan Jingyi hated about them the most.
He is the only one who feels sorry for his own mother.
Nanjiang Cheng was very excited. Hearing that his youngest son said he would bring his girlfriend back today, he couldn't sit still since he got up in the morning. He was in the living room when he got up early, holding a rag, looking here and there, and if he found any dust, he would wipe it with his hands. .
He couldn't help in the kitchen either.
Zheng Juan has been making various preparations since buying groceries a week ago. She considers herself to be a hard worker.
New Year's Eve is the most important day for the Nan family. The old man said that his youngest son's girlfriend is coming, and as a stepmother, she has to behave like a housewife and cook some special dishes.
Although her two sons were not biological, she had to do a better job and not want others to gossip about her.
Nan Jingyi can only cook two simple home-cooked dishes and can't put them on the table, so she can only help her mother wash the vegetables.
She won't be working these two days.
The operating room is on duty. She will be on duty with teacher Yu Wen in the second grade of junior high school, and she will have a preparation shift tomorrow in the first grade of junior high school.
At noon, Zheng Juan simply fried four vegetables and dumped them before she could finish them. She couldn't eat leftovers during the New Year.
At noon, the second child, Nantian, went to his girlfriend's house for a reunion dinner, and then brought his girlfriend over for dinner.
After dinner, Nan Jingyi went into the space to look for Xiaopi, who was playing with the small fish by the fish pond.
When he saw his master coming, he was very happy and flew over.
"Master, master, where are we going to play today?"
"I'll take you to watch the fireworks today."
"What are fireworks?" Xiaopi was very excited and jumped up and down.
Nan Jingyi thought for a while, "Fireworks are flowers blooming in the sky. They are colorful and gorgeous. They are the most beautiful and special flowers."
"Okay, okay! I want to go, and I want to go now!" Xiaopi was already impatient. Resistant.
