Zhang's father and mother were planning to turn a blind eye, but their eldest daughter, Zhang Meili, followed their old path - so worrying...
At the beginning of this new year, many candidates have received their admission notices one after another. Parents whose children are from nearby families can't hide their joy.
Naturally, the same is true for Zhang Meili, who is the most envied and jealous among them.
——All three of her sons passed the test.
But after a few days of happiness, she started to have a headache.
Look at the three well-behaved sons who are having a silly laugh on their own, and then look at the three daughters-in-law with red eyes who are forcing smiles.
She originally thought that her children were attending university in the provincial capital, which was not far away, and coming back every one or two weeks would not affect anything.
But this is dumbfounded...
It seems that the children were lying to themselves some time ago?
I'm so sad even before this person leaves. There are still many days to come.
"What do you say?"
Zhang Chunming patted his wife cheerfully, "You really think too much! When has our child ever been disobedient since he was little?"
"That's why I'm worried. One of the girls from our union said that this person will either die in silence or explode in silence. I'm worried that they'll suddenly explode."
Zhang Chunming was at a loss for words when he heard this. "What a mess!"
Zhang Meili looked at him silently.
"Don't worry, my son follows me. Look at my brothers. They are a bit cowardly, but don't you see that they don't treat their wives well?"
Yes, so everyone listens to their wives, gets provoked into incoherent behavior, and thinks this is such a great thing? It would be worse to be single.
"We have divided the property among them. You should pay more attention to me."
Zhang Meili immediately looked at him nervously, "What's wrong with you?"
"No. It's just that you're preoccupied with the children."
"You're such a jerk! You're already so old, aren't you ashamed?" Zhang Meili poked him. "When you have time, teach your son a lesson. Don't let him get carried away outside."
"Okay. If anyone dares, I'll break their legs."
Zhang Meili: "..."
She'd better go to her parents for help.
Break a leg? Haha...
If I just say "son" in a loud voice, he will be distressed for a long time, pestering me for a long time, saying that my son is grown up and I can't hurt his self-esteem...
Still fighting?
Even dogs don’t believe it!
After hearing what his eldest daughter said, Zhang's father shook his head. "After all, they chose their own fortune. What are you worried about? You really have nothing better to do than to be bored!"
"If the young couple really want to break up, can you stop them? You're already quite old. Go to work when you have something to do, hug your grandchildren when you don't, and stay out of their affairs, and everything will be fine."
Zhang Meili stared at her father uncertainly, "Really?"
"Can Dad still tease you? Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. Don't meddle too much. If you meddle, it might turn a small problem into a big one."
If Zhang Dad admires his own father the most, then Zhang Meili admires her own father just as much. Hearing this, she decisively decided, "I'll listen to you, old man!"
"That's right. When your grandfather was alive, he said that after the family was divided, you would be the men in charge. If you can establish your own family, I'm happy; if you can't, there's nothing I can do. Do you understand what I mean? It means that you and your son-in-law have done your job."
Zhang Meili nodded in agreement. "As expected of my grandfather, that's exactly what happened! I gave birth to them, raised them with great difficulty, and even found wives for them. If they still want me to worry about them, I'm at a loss!"
Father Zhang nodded in satisfaction, looking at his eldest daughter approvingly, and solemnly admonished, "Well, it's good that you figured it out! Go home early and eat whatever you want, don't let yourself get away with it. Take good care of your son-in-law, he's a better companion in old age than any son or daughter. Just look at me and your mother and you'll see."
After seeing her silly daughter being fooled away by her husband, Zhang's mother's sad face disappeared and she walked away happily. She immediately stood up and looked Zhang's father up and down.
"What are you doing?"
"Actually, among the third branch of our Zhang family, you are the most like my father-in-law!"
Zhang Dad suppressed his inner ecstasy, chin up, and looked out the window. (Of course, it would be great if it weren't winter!) "Nonsense, I'm my dad's son, so I can do whatever he wants."
"Well, the ability to fool people is the best!"
"You damn bitch..."
Zhang's mother laughed so hard that she collapsed on the kang. Oh, how could her husband be so funny?
"Dad, Mom, where are you?"
Zhang Laoer's voice rang out from outside. Zhang Dad responded loudly, stretched out his leg and kicked his wife who was laughing like crazy, "Don't say anything later."
Zhang Laoer walked in quickly, laughing before he spoke. "What are you so happy about? Mom, did you find a treasure?"
"It's not bad, I picked up a big treasure."
Father Zhang glanced at his wife and cleared his throat. "Have you booked the tickets?"
Zhang Laoer gave a thumbs up and said, "They say a scholar knows everything about the world without leaving home. It's just that my father was born in the wrong era. In ancient times, a scholar would have been able to escape."
"Stop the nonsense and get down to business."
"Okay~ Let's leave on the 26th of this month."
Father Zhang estimated the lunar calendar and said, "Alright. You should keep an eye on the children's school registration documents. I'm really worried about how they're going to handle things."
Zhang Laoer nodded at this. His father didn't need to remind him; once the children had their household registrations transferred, he would also oversee the remaining procedures.
After hearing a lot during this period, he also knew that when reporting for school at the beginning of the month, the admission notice, political review materials, and household registration materials were submitted to the school together.
The so-called household registration materials are related to food supply, so the household registration transfer certificate, grain and oil relationship transfer certificate and commodity supply relationship are indispensable.
"Dad, you don't have to worry. As long as Ziwen is here, my nephews don't have to worry. This child has good intentions and is truly filial."
Zhang's father understood the implication of his son's words. He had also seen the list of names on the big red list with his own eyes. Although there were no scores or clear rankings, considering that Shitou had ranked first in the county, his eldest grandson must have done better than Mai Sui in the exam, as he ranked fifth.
But when this child filled out his application, he chose a whole string of universities in his province. From this point and his previous behavior, it can be seen that this child is truly shouldering the responsibility of the eldest son.
And Xizi...
Oh, forget it. I'll just get used to it.
Zhang Laoer saw the disappointment on his father's face. He knew it, but he thought it was just a waste of worry. And a grandson? As long as his eldest brother was doing well, that was all that mattered.
However, when he thought about how his eldest brother actually listened to him and sent Huang Cuilan back to her parents' home, Zhang Laoer still felt a little guilty. Of course, this guilt was only for his parents, and it was none of his business to others!
—Hasn't he seen how much more his elder brother smiles these days? He should just let that woman stay at her parents' house for a while longer. As for whether his nephew would hold a grudge against him?
Hehe... How could there be a nephew without his brother? Okay, I'll just look after him more from now on. If you have any objections to him, then stay away from him. It's not like he doesn't have a son.
