"Look what my eldest sister said, your granddaughter is my granddaughter. We are the only two left of the older generation, so why should we differentiate between each other!" The aunt held Mei's hand, and acted more intimately with her than their own mother.
The old lady snorted disdainfully, baring her teeth and grinning, looking more like a ghost than a human. Who would believe her nonsense?
There was an aunt, and the old lady couldn't even talk to her daughter, so she just listened to the aunt chattering.
Xiu's family of five also arrived. Xiu married the girl next door, so it was a bit far, so she arrived a little late.
Wu Zhiqiu and Liu Cuihua went out to meet "Xiu'er, Dahe is back, come in quickly."
Xiu was well-off, but she knew how to make ends meet. Wang Baochuan had to give her a thumbs up when she saw her. She was in her eighties, and her family of five still wore patched clothes when they returned to her parents' home. She was always calculating even for a corn cake.
The family of five bowed to the two sisters-in-law and then went into the house to bow to the elderly couple.
Auntie was not very enthusiastic towards Mei, and she was much less enthusiastic towards Xiu. People always respect Luo Shan first and then respect people. Mei had a job in the city, and her husband was a small cadre, so people looked up to her wherever she went.
Mei took her sister to sit on the kang, while Luo Ying took her brother-in-law Zhao Dahe to chat with her two uncles.
When everyone arrived, Wu Zhiqiu was about to cook when he saw Liu Cuihua sneakily carrying Luo Panpan out of the house, taking out two bananas from her bosom and stuffing them into Luo Panpan's arms.
"Aunt buys less, you eat it yourself!"
Luo Panpan took a look into the house and ran to the backyard with the banana.
Wu Zhiqiu shook his head. Banana Manman and Dabao also ate some. Liu Cuihua kept grumbling and refused to give some to Xiu's children. Xiu was the oldest in the family, and the youngest was sixteen years old.
Although Xiu is stingy with herself, she brings as much as Mei when she goes back to her parents' home. Although Mei is well-off, she is not very generous.
Poor people are generous and cautious, while rich people are stingy and generous.
Liu Cuihua had always been trying to please Li Mei, thinking that since she was a director, she wanted Li Mei to help the children find jobs. Wu Zhiqiu had thought the same before, and had also tried to curry favor with Li Mei and her husband.
It is not so easy to find a job. Even if they have connections, they can sell a job for thousands of yuan. Why should they give it to them for free? What can you give back to them? If you want others to help you, you can give them cigarettes and tea. What can they give to them?
Wu Zhiqiu now understood that he had to live his life on his own. If he relied on mountains, they would fall; if he relied on rivers, they would dry up.
Liu Cuihua still held out hope, so she went up to him to please him. After all, she had so many sons!
Wu Zhiqiu recalled the memories of his previous life. It seemed that Luo Jun from the Mei family was a son-in-law who married into the family. Luo Jun did not dare to tell his family. It was discovered by his father-in-law when he got married. There was a big fuss, but it was nothing serious. Luo Jun still went to the woman's side.
Wu Zhiqiu glanced at Luo Ying again. He had a slicked-back hair and was wearing a cadre uniform. He looked indescribable, with facial features like those of a police officer. Luo Panpan looked exactly like his father.
She looks like this, but she is not well behaved outside. She has a family outside and her child is about the same age as Luo Panpan.
Later, she was reported and Mei found out that Luo Ying was fired from her position, but she did not divorce him. The old man and his wife were very angry and asked Mei to divorce him, but Mei refused. Later, she died earlier than Mancang.
Xiu's life was pretty good, her children were very filial, even though Mancang was gone, Xiu's children would still visit her during festivals. The third child, Zhao Baoshan, graduated from a university and was quite promising.
