Li Guifang had nothing to do, so she took a handful of melon seeds and went out to chat with others.
As soon as I arrived at the front yard, I saw Xie Dazui and Aunt Chun sitting on the threshold of the yard, fanning themselves gently with a palm-leaf fan in their hands.
Her little mouth chattered non-stop. Nearby, a few young women were washing clothes by the well, and they would occasionally join in the conversation.
As soon as Xie Dazui saw Li Guifang coming out, he opened his bright eyes and invited her to join the gossip camp.
Everyone knows that they were both textile factory workers in the same workshop and knew each other very well.
When they get together, they dare to say anything. If even an ant passes by them, they will be ruined!
They both retreated one after another, and the friendship between the two was unmatched by anyone else.
"Hey, Guifang, the sun is so hot, why are you still at home? Why don't you go to work for your little son?"
Xie Dazui licked his big face and came over to chat with Li Guifang.
Xie Dazui was feeling dissatisfied with the fact that Li Guifang was covering for his son.
Not to mention that they worked so hard for most of their lives and finally retired.
She was already obsessed with her son. Raising such a child was worse than giving birth to a piece of barbecued pork. She felt sorry for her older sisters.
Even if someone said something bad about Li Xiaosi, Li Guifang would get angry with them. This protective look of hers made Xie Dazui feel jealous.
It’s already agreed that they are the best in the world, and even their son cannot interfere!
Also, if Li Guifang went to work, Xie Dazui would lose a close friend who could share the same hatred for the enemy, which made her even more unhappy.
Look, as soon as they meet, they start to speak in a sarcastic and sour tone.
Li Guifang also knew her personality and did not argue with her.
He poured a handful of melon seeds into Xie Dazui's pocket and scolded him with a smile, "Even eating can't stop your mouth! Whoever's shift is theirs, why do you care about me?"
The two kissed each other for a few times, and they were so close that they were wearing the same pants. Suddenly, Xie Dazui put his head close to me.
"By the way, Fang'er, your house was very lively last night. I heard it all. What's going on with you guys?"
When Li Guifang heard this, her eyes rolled up to the sky. You heard it all, do I need me to tell you more?
After spitting out some melon seed shells, he slowly said, "Hey, isn't it that troublesome boss who suddenly said he wants to study for a master's degree? He wants 5,000 yuan from his family!"
This really worries my old man. I told Mingyuan that the family really can't afford the money, but he keeps nitpicking.
After hearing this, Xie Dazui exploded: "How could Li Mingyuan be so heartless?
He doesn't know what your family situation is like. You paid for him to finish college and he's going to graduate school. Why doesn't he let you two do something great for him?
He really dares to think, five thousand, it doesn't matter how much money he says!
Li Guifang, I'm telling you, you have to make this clear. He can study, but let him find a way to earn money on his own! Don't let him bring the whole family down by himself."
Xie Dazui talked a lot, and even the emotions of the other aunts were aroused.
Everyone is blaming Li Mingyuan for being dishonest.
Li Guifang nodded vigorously after listening to this. She thought that Li Mingyuan, that brat, should be brought in to listen to these words.
But there was a hint of fatigue in his voice when he spoke: "That's right, I told him, there's really nothing my family can do.
But he still refused to give up and said he would think of another way. His father and I were so worried.”
Li Guifang played the victim again and earned everyone's sympathy.
Auntie Chun stood up, patted Li Guifang on the shoulder, and comforted her, "Guifang, don't worry. This child will grow up sooner or later.
You have to explain to him clearly that the current situation at home is what he wants to understand, even if he doesn't understand it yet.
Besides, life is tough right now, and it's the same for everyone. If he's really promising, he'll have plenty of opportunities in the future."
After saying that, he went to find his little grandson.
Xie Da Jiao sighed and said, "Fang'er, don't be too hard on yourself. We still have to live slowly.
You have to explain it to him clearly. We can't give up our entire family for him just because we are soft-hearted for a moment.
If you ask me, children who are ignorant should be disciplined! No matter whether he is a father or a grandfather, he will always be a child in front of his parents! Next time I meet him, I will not be called Xie Daxian if I don’t scold him to death.
Li Guifang was so moved by this old sister that tears welled up in her eyes and her voice trembled:
"You are really my good sister. After hearing what you said, I feel like a fairy."
Xie Dazui's face lit up when she heard this. She stood up swiftly, brushed off the nonexistent dust on her lapels, and raised her chin triumphantly. "Okay! Don't worry too much. If you ask me, life wouldn't be more enjoyable without spanking my son. If he doesn't behave, I'll give him more spankings."
Well, I have to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to find some scraps of cloth, and then I can mend my work clothes. Now that I’m retired, I can wear something neat.”
Li Guifang also stood up and walked Xie Dazui to the entrance of the alley.
I also strolled around the streets, looking for the beauty in my memories.
