Since it was a rare occasion for the whole family to be together, the Ye family decided to buy some New Year's goods.

Now it is only twenty-something days away from New Year's Eve.

In addition, Miaofengshan goes to her daughter's home to celebrate the New Year every year. If she is willing, we can go back to the village together early this year to avoid heavy snow in the next few days.

Ye Changsheng told his parents that they had already gone to the black market to buy 50 kilograms of rice and flour each.

But there are many people in my family, and it is not known how long this rice and flour will last. I still have to buy more brown rice as a reserve.

Ye Jianguo told them, "The adults will take care of the New Year shopping, so they don't have to worry about it."

Ye Xiaoxiao told her about her apprenticeship in the pharmacy, "I want to stay in the town for a few more years."

You can just get all the benefits and then stop.

At least we can rest on the 20th of November.

Miao Fengshan: "Then you guys go back first after buying New Year's goods. Xiaoxiao and I will come back in about ten days."

Ye Jianguo agreed, but still warned: "Dad, you can only watch the changes, but you should take Xiaoxiao back early and don't let the heavy snow hold them back."

Miao Fengshan: "Don't worry, I'll take care of the child."

After the discussion, the family stayed at Miaofengshan's home for one night.

Miao Cuifang, Li Guilan and Ye Xiaoxiao used to live in the west room. With two more people suddenly in this room, it was a little warmer, but Ye Xiaoxiao suffered from insomnia.

Too used to so many people sleeping together.

The east room was more crowded, and the talking over there didn't stop until very late at night. I guess they didn't sleep well either.

Early the next morning, the family got up to make breakfast and then went to buy New Year's goods.

Ye Xiaoxiao did not go with the others, she still went to the pharmacy to help.

The Ye family spent three days buying almost everything they needed for the New Year.

The Ye family, who had to live frugally due to the loss of their savings, took a turn for the better with the addition of Ye Xiaoxiao.

This year's New Year's goods are even richer than in previous years.

Miao Cuifang was even willing to buy some cloth to make new clothes for her family.

The others took the New Year's goods back first, but Ye Changsheng stayed. On the contrary, he mainly studied wherever he went.

As for the rest of the family, they still have a lot of work to do.

Miao Fengshan's home became quiet again.

Ye Xiaoxiao finally had time to open the box that Duan Lei sent her in the mail.

"These are the study materials that my friend sent me by mail. Do you think they are useful?"

She is not very familiar with the teaching materials for this year.

Ye Changsheng opened the information, his face showing obvious excitement. "The difficulty of these questions is higher than that of Baichuan No. 1 Middle School, and they cover more knowledge points."

Ye Xiaoxiao: "Okay then."

Duan Lei is still very reliable, and the Duan family can also access better teaching resources.

From then on, Ye Xiaoxiao not only went to the pharmacy to study every day, but also did a few more papers.

Try to pick up the knowledge you have learned in high school before school starts.

…

The Duan family in Beijing.

There was an open letter on the coffee table in the living room. The woman read it before handing it to her aunt at home, "Give it to Duan Lei later."

"Yes, ma'am."

This woman is the mistress of the Duan family, Duan Lei's mother - Wu Sifang.

Wu Sifang was not a person who respected her son's privacy, but she thought more after seeing the mailing address of the letter.

My son is easy to be quiet for a few days, but someone always disturbs his recent study state.

But after reading the letter, she felt relieved.

There is nothing wrong with what is said above, but it is quite positive.

His son listens to the girl from the Hao family the most.

This can be seen from his behavior over the past month.

The recent events in the Hao family have spread widely in the compound.

Everyone sympathized with the child who came to the house on her own, but they said it was possible to accept her quickly.

After all, character and upbringing remain to be examined.

On the contrary, everyone felt sorry for Xixi's departure.

After reading the letter today, Wu Sifang felt that the child was very strong-willed and had worked hard to build his future. If he really wanted to do that, it would be helpful for his family to help him more. After all, he was the child she had watched grow up.

After Wu Sifang told the nanny to deliver the letter, she went out to work.

When I went out, I happened to see a mother and daughter walking in the courtyard.

They are the wives of the Hao family, He Qiaoxiang and Hao Yanyan.

If you didn't see me, that's fine. Now that we're face to face, I have to say hello.

Wu Sifang stepped forward with a smile, "Qiaoxiang, come out for a walk."

His eyes also glanced at the girl next to He Qiaoxiang.

With thick eyebrows, big eyes and long black hair, his facial features are very similar to Hao Chengbing, with both heroic spirit and beautiful appearance.

Maybe it’s because I grew up in the countryside, my skin is a little dark, but it’s a very healthy color.

When he saw people, his eyes were a little timid, but he always mustered up the courage to hold his head high and chest out.

For a kid who just came out of the mountain village, this performance was already outstanding.

But He Qiaoxiang loves appearance the most. Even if nothing happened, she still feels that her daughter is embarrassing her in public.

He Qiaoxiang forced a smile: "I just came back from the department store. Are you going out to work?"

Wu Sifang retracted her gaze and said, "Yes, I am not as lucky as you. Comrade Hao in your family is willing to let you go out and work hard."

"No way, you are just teasing me."

Although He Qiaoxiang said this, her face showed sweetness.

Seeing that the other party had no intention of saying anything, Wu Sifang could only take the initiative to speak: "This is your daughter."

He Qiaoxiang smiled stiffly, "Ah... yes, come and say hello, this is your Aunt Wu."

Hao Yanyan stepped forward and suppressed her anxiety, "Hello, Aunt Wu."

"Hey... come to my house and play when you have time." He Qiaoxiang said politely.

"Thank you...thank you Aunt Wu."

Hao Yanyan was very nervous.

How could she be nervous? This Aunt Wu was a big shot she had seen in the newspapers before.

It was also at this moment that she was very sure that her fate would be the same as before.

Because of her family's poverty, she married a village businessman, which eventually ruined her life.

Wu Sifang said nothing more, and continued walking after saying hello.

Behind her, He Qiaoxiang said patiently, "Speak properly, why are you stuttering? If you do this again next time, don't go out."

Hao Yanyan lowered her head.

He Qiaoxiang: "Why...you two are wronged? Show me your anger!"

Hao Yanyan quickly raised her head: "No, Mom...Mom, I will study hard."

"I have found you a teacher to teach etiquette. You must attend the class on time starting tomorrow. When you have mastered your tongue, you can go out and meet people again."

After finishing her words, He Qiaoxiang walked forward on her own.

I felt really regretful. She could have gone out to buy things by herself, why did I bring this girl out with me?

Now let Wu Sifang see it and know what people are saying behind my back.

He Qiaoxiang was somewhat doubtful whether she had made the right decision.

If Xiaoxiao were still alive, she would definitely worry about these things. That child is excellent in every way.

She is also beautiful, like a fairy. Wherever she stands, people will rush to praise her.

What a pity...it doesn't matter if it's someone else's child, it just happened to be that woman's child.

She can never accept it!
