This New Year was pretty good for Xie Yunshu. Although many bad things happened, she had money in her hand and was not worried at all. On the last day, she sold lunch boxes. It was fine in the morning. As expected, there were several people selling lunch boxes. Fortunately, she prepared three boxes. In the end, she sold two boxes. She took the rest home for lunch.
On the way back, Xie Mingcheng was still a little depressed: "Sister, we only earned money for three days."
Xie Yunshu found it funny: "You still want to make more money, others are not fools, who wouldn't be jealous of such a good business?"
However, the securities center will be closed tomorrow, and with more people selling food, the profit will be lower. It is equivalent to hard-earned money, and there is nothing to regret.
New Year's Eve arrived in a blink of an eye, and Li Fenlan had finished knitting a sweater. Wearing the light grey woolen coat that Xie Yunshu wore, and a scarf, she could be called a city lady. Except that her hands were too rough from long hours of work, so they were naturally not comparable to Miss Jiao's...
"My daughter is beautiful."
Li Fenlan asked her to spin around with satisfaction, then turned her gaze to Xie Mingcheng: "My son is also good-looking!"
Xie Yunshu took off her new clothes and placed them neatly on the bedside, preparing to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy some more New Year goods. Although it was good enough for the family to eat meat during the New Year, Xie Yunshu was not satisfied. She wanted to have a good New Year to get rid of the bad luck.
You can’t spend money indiscriminately, but you have to know how to enjoy it, otherwise there will be no motivation to make money.
"Let's make Baobao duck, Baobao rice, braised pork and egg dumplings!" Xie Yunshu muttered to himself, and then thought: "Oh, let's let Grandma Zhang celebrate the New Year with us. She's alone every year anyway!"
Since the last time Grandma Zhang was hospitalized, the old lady rarely went out. Xie Yunshu was worried and went to see her every day when she came back from the construction site. Grandma Zhang was almost seven years old. She had been living alone since her husband passed away. Her health had deteriorated in the past two years, and it was actually very dangerous for her to live alone.
Li Fenlan did not raise any objections, but instead laughed and scolded her: "There are only two of us eating, and you cooked so many dishes and it's a waste if you can't finish them!"
The Lu family had a very bad year.
Lu Jianshe didn't go home for the past two days. He found a few old friends and wanted them to say something good for him. He wanted to take this matter lightly and not affect his work after the New Year. Although he couldn't be the director, he was sure to keep the position of deputy director.
Who among those who work in the government is not a shrewd person? Those who are usually called "brother" will turn a blind eye to him, not spending money on meals, but not doing anything practical. Cheng Yuxiang was even more annoyed. At this time of year in previous years, she would play mahjong at home to show off, but these two days she didn't dare to go to any mahjong place.
Lu Zhixing was originally a man of few words, but ever since Zhou Xinyue was locked up in the psychiatric department, he has become even more talkative. He never goes back to the family compound, lives in the duty room, and has never visited Zhou Xinyue once.
Perhaps the only heartless person in the family is Lu Xueting. She is still trying to coax Xiaowei into saying that it was Xie Yunshu who beat him, but Xiaowei said nothing. When he was forced into a corner, he shook his head desperately and said that he would be obedient.
"That's your biological mother. You really raised this child in vain!"
Lu Xueting pinched Xiaowei's arm, and was so angry that she almost hit him, but she was not so vicious. In the end, she locked Xiaowei in the innermost room on the second floor: "If you don't tell me, don't come out. You don't care about your own mother. You are an ungrateful person!"
Xinyue suffered so much for this child. She might as well have thrown him into the mountains. Wouldn't it be a burden to bring him out? Everyone said that Zhou Xinyue abused Xiaowei. She thought it was slander. Isn't this person good? He is just a little thin. How can it be called abuse?
Lu Xueting went downstairs angrily. Seeing that the dining table was still empty, she felt even worse. "Mom, it's almost six o'clock. Why haven't you prepared the New Year's Eve dinner yet? My brother hasn't come yet. There were already a lot of dishes on the table at this time last year!"
Cheng Yuxiang was cooking in the kitchen by herself. When she heard this, her tone was not good: "Why don't you come over and help? You're just watching TV!"
"Let Xie Yunshu go..." Zhou Xinyue subconsciously took over the conversation, but stopped halfway through.
The reason why the New Year's Eve dinner last year was so sumptuous was because there was a selfless person in the family. The person who was busy in the kitchen at this time last year was Xie Yunshu. She was very good at cooking. Every time she came to the Lu family's old house, Cheng Yuxiang ordered her to help in the kitchen.
She said she was helping, but in fact, she was just a hands-off boss. The family was watching TV outside, and Xie Yunshu was the one who was busy. Sometimes Lu Zhixing went in to help her first, but Cheng Yuxiang would stop him, saying that Xie Yunshu didn't have any special skills, so how could she be tired from cooking?
At that time, Xie Yunshu and Lu Zhixing had just been married for a short time. She was completely satisfied with him. However, cooking was too simple for her, and she didn't feel wronged. She wanted to integrate into this family wholeheartedly.
If the people in your husband's family look down on you at the beginning, they will look down on you for the rest of their lives. Xie Yunshu's obedience and compromise will make Cheng Yuxiang look down on this daughter-in-law even more.
This year, Cheng Yuxiang doesn't have to look down on anyone, because one of her former daughters-in-law has passed away long ago, and the other current daughter-in-law is still in the psychiatric department of the hospital!
Outside, people started to set off firecrackers. The TV programs were also full of joy. Lu Jianshe put down the newspaper in his hand and was in no mood to celebrate the New Year. "What's wrong with Zhixing? He hasn't come yet?"
Lu Xueting said as a matter of course: "She must have gone to see Sister Xinyue. She must be so lonely in the ward all by herself! Mom wouldn't let her go. The hospital is not a prison, how can it be like being in jail!"
Someone above is watching this matter, Lu Jianshe cannot let Zhou Xinyue out. Moreover, he now wishes Zhou Xinyue didn't exist so as to wash away the stain on the Lu family. How could he let Lu Xueting go and bring her back?
When Zhou Xinyue's name was mentioned, Cheng Yuxiang's eyes were filled with disgust: "Call the hospital and ask when your brother will be back."
Lu Xueting said "oh" and was about to pick up the phone when she heard Lu Jianshe ask again, "Where's Xiaowei?"
"He's upstairs. He can't die!"
Cheng Yuxiang snorted in annoyance. Zhou Xinyue was not a good person. How good could the child she gave birth to be? A child with a gloomy face all day long, unable to speak a word, was annoying to look at! If the child was not under the name of the Lu family, she would have wanted to give him away directly!
When Cheng Yuxiang said this, she had completely forgotten that it was she who had smiled and said that she would let Xiaowei be her grandson, saying that she would pity the child and take good care of him. Now that he has really become her grandson, she is not happy about it.
