Chapter 140 Going Back for the New Year



Shen Yijun wanted to exaggerate his complaint, but then he thought about the Jiang family's current attitude towards his family. Furthermore, the Jiang family had no worries about food and drink, so why would they need his family's help? Shen Yijun was afraid that if he mishandled it, it would backfire and worsen the relationship between the two families. What if he couldn't return to the city and had to return to the Hualing Brigade? He was worried that he would suffer, and he would be the one to suffer. So he answered Shen Zhong's questions honestly.

Chen Zhong frowned. It seemed that the old couple of the Jiang family were very dissatisfied with their daughter. I wonder if they were just as cruel to their son? "What is the reputation of your uncle and aunt in the brigade? Has anyone accused them of being unfilial? Or do they say they are very filial?"

At this time, Shen Yijun was also very unhappy because he thought about how he had asked the team leader to change to an easier job but was rejected.

My aunt had clearly offended my parents-in-law and sister-in-law, and yet she still asked me to join the Hualing Brigade. She was deliberately looking for trouble. If it weren't for the good character of the old couple in the Jiang family, I wouldn't even know how I died.

"It's basically not discussed, but some people still privately say that my aunt and uncle are unfilial. I don't dare tell others that I'm the nephew of the Jiang family's daughter-in-law, for fear that the people in Jiangjia Village will find out and cause trouble for me. The Jiang family is senior in the village, and even the team leader is his nephew." What a great network of connections! It's a pity that I didn't use it.

The fact that they didn't dare to say it openly meant that the Jiang family still cared about their son's reputation. As long as they still cared about their son and grandson, there was still a chance of redemption. As long as Xiaofeng could sincerely apologize, I believed that the Jiang family, for the sake of their son and grandson, would definitely not hold it against Xiaofeng. When their relationship eased, I could go to their house and talk about Yijun's matter.

Shen Yijun saw that his family had said so much, but no one spoke up to transfer him back, so he couldn't help but ask: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, can you find a way to transfer me back? I don't want to go back to Hualing Brigade at all."

Everyone looked embarrassed, not knowing what to say so as not to hurt Shen Yijun's feelings. In the end, it was Shen Yuanjun, the father, who stood up.

"Yijun, it's not that we don't want you to come back, but we can't. Many people are watching our family now. If you come back, they will definitely report you. Besides, the educated youth are going to the countryside now. The educated youth office won't let you come back before two years. If you hold on a little longer, your parents will definitely let you come back in two years. When you go to work, do less. We will send you more food and drinks. If there is not enough food, buy it from the production team."

Shen Yijun, who only earned 3 work points a day and was exhausted, said: "..." What should he say? The work points can't be any lower. If they are lower, the team leader will not sell food to him. If he has money but no food coupons, he will starve.

"You have to reach a certain centimeters before you can buy food from the brigade, and each person can only buy a maximum of 10 kilograms per month." Shen Yijun never mentioned that he only worked three centimeters a day.

Lin Ping: "What a lousy rule! They won't sell even if you pay them. Are they trying to work the educated youth to death?"

Chen Yuanjun: "Isn't this normal? Every household has food shortages these days. If we could just buy whatever we want, wouldn't that be chaos?"

When Lin Ping heard this, tears started to flow again, "What should we do with Yijun? Dad, talk to your brother-in-law. Even if his parents don't agree, let him find other relatives. At most, we can give more." Anyone can suffer, but her son must never suffer.

At this time, Li Zhu came out with a bowl of egg noodles. "Yijun, eat this bowl of noodles first to fill your stomach. I'll make you something delicious tonight."

"Thank you, grandma."

"Old lady, tomorrow afternoon we'll have the holiday for Mingli. Has Xiaofeng bought any gifts for her parents-in-law? Go tell her later that you haven't been back in a few years. Ask her to buy something expensive and to prepare a special gift for everyone."

Li Zhu was in a dilemma because she knew that Chen Feng had not prepared anything and had no intention of going back.

When Chen Zhong didn't get a satisfactory answer, he knew his daughter must be causing trouble again. "What's going on?"

"Xiaofeng said Mingli didn't mention going back to his hometown this year. Mingli might not go back, so Xiaofeng didn't prepare any gifts."

Chen Zhong slammed his hand on the table angrily. "Did Chen Feng turn a deaf ear to my words? Mingli didn't mention it, so why wouldn't she? Tell her that this year she must bring her husband and children back to celebrate the New Year and maintain a good relationship with her parents-in-law. If she dares to pretend to obey me but secretly disobey me, she will never be allowed to come back to this house again. As a daughter-in-law, who gave her the courage to treat her parents-in-law like this?"

Li Zhu: "Don't be angry, I'll go find Xiaofeng later."

"Now."

"Daughter-in-law, you come to cook tonight, make more, and take good care of Yijun these days. We can talk about Yijun's affairs after his aunt and uncle come back for the New Year."

Now Shen Yuanjun and his wife also knew Shen Zhong’s plan, which was to let the Jiang couple take care of Yijun.

Li Zhu found Shen Feng and told her what Shen Zhong meant.

Chen Feng felt extremely aggrieved. "How could Dad do this? Why should I go and please those two country bumpkins? I already send them 10 yuan every month. What else do you want me to do?"

"What do you mean by flattering? I just want you to go back to your in-laws' house and spend the New Year politely. It's only a few days a year, can't you be patient? Your nephew came back this time? He looked darker and thinner, and he was tortured beyond recognition. As an aunt, can't you feel sorry for your nephew? As a mother, I beg you, get along well with your in-laws during the New Year, so that when we come to their house, they won't be able to refuse us."

"I understand. I will go to Mingli tonight to discuss and see what his plans are. If he doesn't plan to return to Jiangjia Village for the New Year, I will persuade him to go back." For Yijun, I have endured it for the past two years.

"Okay, okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiaofeng. Don't cook tonight. You and your family can go home for dinner. You can also meet Yijun. You haven't seen him for several months. Yijun misses you as his aunt."

"good."

Jiang Mingli had just got off work and found that there was no stove at home and the pots and stoves were cold. He was about to go into the kitchen to cook dinner.

Chen Feng heard the noise and came out of the child's room, "Yijun is back from the countryside. Let's go to my mother's house tonight. You don't have to cook dinner."

Jiang Mingli felt that tonight's dinner must be a Hongmen Banquet, and he didn't want to go. But after thinking about it, he felt that what is coming will come, and he couldn't avoid it, so he said: "Okay." Then he sat back on the sofa.

Chen Feng also sat down and asked, "Are you going back to your home for the New Year this year?"

"Why do you ask this?" Do you want me to persuade my parents to let Shen Yijun live at home again?
