These girls are all pitiful... They lost their mothers at a young age. Their beautiful biological mothers, Rushi and Ruhua, have been missing for many years. Ruyue's biological mother, Zhao Chunmei, is still in prison, but it would have been better if she had never appeared at all.
Tang Xiaoxiao sighed inwardly; the sins committed by the elders had brought suffering to several children.
Fortunately, they have all grown up safely and have not suffered any real persecution. Tang Rugo has always taken good care of her younger sisters, so there is no need to worry too much about their future.
Zhang Chenghao is now a boss, and given his character and feelings for Tang Rugo, he probably wouldn't object to him taking care of his sisters-in-law a little.
After Han Yunqi sat down, he chatted with Zhang Chenghao. It was a rare occasion for the two childhood friends to meet. Tang Xiaoxiao exchanged pleasantries with Tang Rugo and occasionally had to look up to deal with the villagers who greeted her as they passed by. The younger ones were fine, but when many elders came over, Tang Xiaoxiao had to stand up to greet them. No matter how much money she earned or how high her reputation and status were, she still had to act like a junior when these elders from her hometown came to chat with her.
Fortunately, she only had a few close relatives. Tang's father was nearly seventy years old and of high seniority. Tang Xiaoxiao was also a daughter born late in life, so many people in their forties and fifties treated her as an equal. To put it bluntly, there were very few elders left who she could respectfully bow to.
The older generation of rural people have all endured hardships in their youth, suffering countless ailments and developing various health problems. Tang's parents' health deteriorated in their sixties in their previous life, but they have become increasingly robust in this life because she has nourished them with the spiritual spring water.
As for the other relatives and friends who were of the same generation as Tang's parents, many of them have passed away one after another.
Even among those still alive, few are in good health and able to move normally.
“My son will be graduating from junior college soon this year. He’s not very ambitious and doesn’t want to go to big cities to make a living. If he goes back to his hometown, I’ll have to ask you, my dear niece, to look after him and find him a job to make ends meet!” A man in his fifties, whose face was somewhat familiar but whom Tang Xiaoxiao didn’t know how to address, stood smiling beside their table, calling her “my dear niece” while his back was slightly hunched, adopting the posture of someone in a superior position.
"Don't worry, if your son's major is relevant, he can just apply when the company is hiring. Most of the applicants will be hired," Tang Xiaoxiao said helplessly.
“That’s right, he studied veterinary medicine! Hehehe... Well then, my dear niece, you sit here, I’ll go over there first…” The man left with a beaming smile, as if he had received some kind of promise.
Han Yunqi squeezed Tang Xiaoxiao's hand under the seat, silently comforting his wife.
Such endless social engagements are indeed tiresome.
In the past, when Tang Xiaoxiao lived in Houtang Village, although many people wanted to try to find a job or get some benefits, they really didn't have the courage to visit unless they were very familiar with her.
Even if they bumped into each other on the road, there would be no chance to get entangled with Tang Xiaoxiao.
But at such a wedding banquet, just like at a business reception, even people who are normally completely unrelated feel closer when they are together at the same banquet, and they have the courage to go up and chat.
They were all relatives who could be connected in some roundabout way, so even if Tang Xiaoxiao was impatient, she couldn't show her displeasure. Many people only came to try and curry favor because of this.
