Summer has arrived again, and the busy farming season has begun. The various production teams in the county are naturally busy again, but something is quietly moving...
With the arrival of midsummer, letters from afar flew into the hands of various educated youth. No one knew what was said in the letters, and it did not cause any commotion.
However, the news in the newspapers often make people ponder deeply...
In such an atmosphere.
For a while, the Zhang family had either this family's great-grandson turning one, that family's great-grandson turning a hundred days old, or that family's grandson's wife or grandson's wife about to give birth again...
It is no exaggeration to describe the Zhang family as having a large family.
In Zhang's mother's words, there won't be enough space for the New Year table in the future. But thinking back to those old ladies at the Family Planning Office who always talk about family planning and how it's better to have children early, who knows if they'll actually make it a reality.
On this day, Zhang Mingyou's wife gave birth to a child. After Zhang Meili sent her mother back to the yard, she went home without saying a word.
She wasn't worried about no one cooking at home.
She believes that her three daughters-in-law are all sensible and filial. Not only do they each voluntarily pay ten yuan per month, but the sisters-in-law also take the initiative to arrange housework among themselves.
But how could she know what was going on behind the scenes?
As Zhang Ziwen warned his younger brothers, their parents had worked so hard to raise them, so after they got married, they had to ensure they had a good life with their daughter-in-law to look after them for a few years. Otherwise, if all three brothers moved out, could they guarantee that their wives and children wouldn't be abducted to their mother-in-law's house?
——You have to persevere until the new daughter-in-law deeply understands how to be filial to her parents-in-law!
Although things did not go as planned, the three brothers' children were born one after another, causing chaos and even their mother was busy.
But living together is not without its advantages. At least the three sisters-in-law are closer, which is very different from the polite distance when they first met.
Of course, there is a cause for every effect.
Zhang Meili and her husband had long since followed her mother's family's example and divided the property among their children.
There are no property disputes, and both parents are working, so they don’t even have to hand over their wages. The young couple just have some minor frictions occasionally, and their parents-in-law are on their side.
Are the three sisters-in-law ignorant?
"Big sister is really something. I still want to say a few words to her."
Mother Zhang rolled her eyes at her second son. She said, "What can't be said until tomorrow?" If she delayed any longer, her three grandchildren would come running out to look for their mother again.
"Don't talk about your sister for now. Even Yaya has given birth to two children. But you, Mai Sui, are the same age as Yaya. You're already 22 years old, so why haven't you found someone yet?"
Zhang Laoer was indifferent to his mother's cold stares, but he was still quite distressed when he mentioned his daughter: "Why didn't I persuade her? She ran away as soon as her mother started talking. This little girl is not afraid of having no place to live."
"Isn't she the one who listens to you the most?"
Zhang Laoer still admitted this.
But because of this, he was even more unwilling to let his daughter down. Although a daughter was not as important as a son to carry on the family line, she was still his child, wasn't she?
Besides, this girl frowned and pointed out the candidates he had chosen one by one, pointing out their flaws... Either they were not as tall as her brother, or their families were full of troubles...
And so-and-so, when he comes into contact with her, he doesn't know how to read her expressions and keeps talking about her uncle. His ulterior motives are really to make her a stepping stone?
Alas... let alone the children, even he himself felt that those wild boys were not worthy of his talented and beautiful daughter!
"It's fate, so let her be. Anyway, when Shitou gets married, I'll force her to meet someone else."
Zhang's mother was helpless with her son.
How old is your son, Shitou? Why haven't you paid any attention to him? If that silly kid hadn't been tricked by his wife, he'd probably still be single at 30.
Zhang Guofu said with a smile: "Mom, don't worry about Mai Sui. Even though she is 30 years old, she still has a lot of good candidates to choose from."
Worried? Mother Zhang wasn't worried at all. Not only was the child good-looking, but even if he had learned Sister Ye's orthopedic skills, he would be a hot commodity.
"She has something to think about. Have you heard what Dad said?"
"Our Jiaojiao asked Mai Sui if he wanted to go to the capital?"
"What are you going to do? Does it cost money to go round trip?"
When the father and his two sons heard this, they knew she had misunderstood and burst into laughter.
Mother Zhang glared at them, especially her two sons. "What are you laughing at?" Then she realized, "Is he going to work at the Beijing Hospital?"
Zhang Laoer looked at her with a smile, "It's not like I'm going to work, it's more like I'm going to study. Last year, Mai Sui went to Tengshan and seemed to do well. Someone mentioned her, and Jiaojiao said this is an opportunity."
Of course, he didn't know how attractive Mai Sui, who was good at orthopedics, was in such an environment with wounded people everywhere, especially with Zhou Jiao, the big Buddha, standing behind her.
Upon hearing this, Zhang's mother smiled happily, but then immediately stopped smiling and looked at her husband. Many things still had to be decided by the old man.
There was one thing that she and her husband had never revealed to anyone: her daughter Jiaojiao was actually studying medicine under the guidance of Dr. Hu.
And when my own Jiaojiao gave birth to Liuyi and Wuyi, whether it was the senior brothers in Beijing or the uncles and brothers from other places, they all gave them a lot of good things as gifts, and they were all in big hospitals. I just wonder if Jiaojiao owed them a favor?
That won’t do! She can’t let her son and his wife be a burden.
Father Zhang winked at his wife.
He didn't think as much as his wife, but he still remembered his eldest son's words: "It's not the lack of wealth that worries us, but the inequality of wealth." If he promoted one, the children below would have their own ideas.
Then he picked up the bowl, took a sip of wine, and said slowly, "I see Xiaowu specially sent a package of books this time. It seems to be quite interesting. Let's wait a little longer."
Zhang's mother had been at her eldest son's house the whole afternoon. She had no idea that her youngest son had sent the books. She hadn't even seen the package slip. She turned her head and looked around in confusion.
Zhang Laoer saw this and said with a cheerful smile, "Mom, you'd better not look for it anymore. My dad has already hidden it in the inner room like a treasure."
Father Zhang glanced at his son with disdain. If it weren't for the treasure, would his son send such heavy things and spend the postage? Why not just let Xiaomi bring it back directly?
What a fool!
Although he didn't understand his son's intention, it couldn't be that simple! For more than a decade, the packages his son had sent back contained everything except books.
Even though he didn't say it out loud, it didn't mean Zhang's mother didn't have doubts. She frowned and asked, "Why are there books? What kind of books are there?"
This question is easy to answer.
Without Father Zhang saying anything, Zhang Guofu explained to her, "A row of review books, similar to the ones Xizi used when he was preparing for the college entrance exam."
Zhang's mother blurted out, "Could it be that they want the children to go to college?"
Zhang Laoer laughed heartily, "Mom, what are you thinking? They all have children, and they still want to go to college? There's no college for them to go to nowadays."
Zhang's mother mysteriously sent a letter to her eldest son. After rolling her eyes at the second son, she immediately moved closer to her husband and asked, "Dad, what do you think Xiaowu and Jiaojiao mean?"
"Who knows! The brat didn't mention anything in the letter. I thought it was a mistake when I got the package. Anyway, I'll give it to them when the kids get here this weekend, and then write back and ask Xiaowu what he's doing."
