The Zhao family members were even thinner.
Maybe it has something to do with genes.
It may also be because in this day and age, it’s a problem to even have enough to eat, so how can you gain weight?
"Sister, I heard that all the educated youth have received their notices and plan to return to the city after the New Year."
"That's a good thing!"
Some are happy and some are sad.
"Zhao Xue's educated youth sister-in-law is also taking the college entrance examination."
Zhao Jiaojiao was not interested in these.
"Sister, you don't know, didn't Zhao Fangfang get married a few months ago? But less than a month after she got married, the family split up. They separated the couple just like that. Zhao Fangfang came back a few days ago, and she was so thin that I couldn't recognize her."
"I heard she came back to ask for food, and asked her mother to give her some food, otherwise she would starve to death."
Tudan really doesn't know about this.
"Did her mother give it to her?"
"I heard Zhao Fangfang was pregnant. Her mother didn't want to see her starve to death. Besides, our brigade has had an easier time in the past two years, so she gave her some sweet potatoes and corn and drove Zhao Fangfang out, telling her not to come back even for the New Year."
Zhao Jiaojiao didn't know this Zhao Fangfang and thought she was just a girl from the brigade.
"I also heard that Zhao Fangfang went to her in-laws' house to cause trouble, even going so far as to confront the team leader and asking her stepmother-in-law to give her some food."
"When the family was divided, they gave them less food, and they even wanted to deduct their work points..."
Zhao Jiaojiao listened to the news and just treated it as gossip.
"And there's Sister Lianqiao, Uncle Dahu's daughter. I heard many matchmakers have come to propose marriage."
"By the way, Sister-in-law Zhao Xue's work has caused a lot of trouble in their family."
"It was Zhao Xue's mother. She said that the former team leader had let her get the job and that she had to pay a certain amount of money every month. But Zhao Xue's sister-in-law wasn't someone to be trifled with. She wasn't willing to give the money to her mother-in-law, and that's how the argument started."
On New Year’s Eve, we went to the old house to celebrate the New Year together.
Wang Meili was even more generous. She not only gave out a pepper chicken, but also a bowl of braised pork, a bowl of crispy pork, and some candy.
This made Aunt Zhao very happy. This time, the third sister-in-law actually brought so much food.
"Jiaojiao is here, come and warm yourself by the fire." Grandma Zhao smiled and pulled Zhao Jiaojiao to sit next to her.
Several cousins were looking at Zhao Jiaojiao. This cousin was getting more and more capable. When the college entrance examination was resumed, she got the top scorer in science. However, they had just been playing around while studying, otherwise they would not have failed the recruitment exam for the duck factory.
"Grandma, this is the malted milk I bought just for you. Grandpa, this is the wine I bought for you."
Zhao Jiaojiao knew that she had passed the imperial examination and had to do this face-saving project, not to mention that her father was now the village chief.
"This is good wine." There is no man who doesn't like to drink.
Grandpa Zhao used to eat cakes and drink some malted milk with Grandma Zhao, but his grandson and granddaughter never bought him any wine.
"Grandpa likes to drink it, and your granddaughter will buy it for you later."
"good."
Zhao Jiaojiao bought her father a new bicycle and several bottles of good wine.
I plan to bring a bottle to my grandparents on the second day of the Chinese New Year so that they can try it too.
The reunion party was still very lively, and both adults and children had their fill.
On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Meili took her children and Secretary Zhao back to her parents' home.
Aunt Wang was at home, and even the second son's wife didn't go back to her parents' home.
"Sister Jiaojiao, I heard you are the top scorer."
Uncle Wang also had a smile on his face.
Didn’t you expect that your niece would get the top score in the exam?
