"Xiao Guang, your uncle can go alone. Your sister Ying and I won't go."
Tian Sulan and her daughter were shy and felt embarrassed to go to Zhang Shuguang's house for dinner.
"Auntie, that won't do. If you don't go, I'll tell my aunt that you're annoying her."
Zhang Shuguang had a wicked smile on his face.
"Hey kid, I'll go home and wash up, change clothes, and then come over, okay?"
Tian Sulan was deeply moved. Xiaoguang really didn't treat them as outsiders!
"Then you and Sister Ying, hurry up. We won't have dinner if you two don't come."
Zhang Shuguang pushed the tricycle and went home first with Zhang Xiangyang.
In the yard, the three little guys were still there, sticking their butts out and competing to see whose tin frog could jump farther.
"Xiaoli, Jianguo, help your sister wash her hands. We're going to eat soon."
Zhang Shuguang greeted his younger brothers and sisters, and went back to the main room with Zhang Xiangyang first.
"Brother-in-law, I haven't had a drink with you for a long time. Let's have a good drink today."
"Xiangyang, come and sit down quickly. I'm not afraid of you drinking."
Over the years, the relationship between the families has been maintained very good, and the atmosphere becomes lively as soon as they meet.
"Xiangyang, why did you come here alone? Where are Sulan and Yingying?"
The old lady still misses her niece-in-law and grandniece.
"Aunt, the mother and daughter will go home to wash and change clothes and come over."
Zhang Xiangyang said with a smile.
"Well, bring the dishes over first. We'll start eating after the mother and daughter arrive."
Liu Guixiang asked her daughter and daughter-in-law to start serving the dishes.
"Aunt, they are not strangers. There is no need to wait for them. Let's just eat first."
It’s not that Zhang Xiangyang doesn’t value his wife and daughter, but he feels it’s not good to make the whole family wait for them.
"It's okay. I ate a lot at noon and I'm not hungry now. Let's wait for them!"
Whether in the city or the countryside, whether from a wealthy family or a poor family, if the host has already started eating before you arrive, you should have less contact with them in the future.
At least you are not someone they value.
"Sister, I was busy this afternoon and didn't come to talk to you."
As soon as Tian Sulan arrived, she quickly pulled Zhang Yue'e aside to talk.
"Sister-in-law, I came here to work, but Xiaoguang won't let me go. You and Yingying should sit down quickly. Let's talk while we eat."
There were a lot of people today, so we sat at two tables, one for men and one for women.
Zhang Shuguang went back to his room and spent 600 gold coins to buy a box of 12 bottles of Guangdu Fenjiu from the system.
It’s not that he can’t afford Moutai. His father Zhang Xiangnan has seen the world, and Zhang Shuguang is afraid it will be difficult to explain.
While people were eating and drinking here and the atmosphere was lively, things were not so lively at Zhang Qingxiang's home.
Zhang Shuguang wanted to help Zhang Qiuying solve her work problems and did not deliberately avoid Gao Fei and Sun Ximei.
When the two sisters-in-law told their family members about the news when they got home, the family members who were so excited about getting five kilograms of flour just now became silent.
"How come Xiaoguang doesn't know the difference between near and far? We are a family!"
Old lady Li Ying sighed.
"What does this have to do with distance? Only when we are close can we be truly close. No matter how close we are, can we be as close as Zhang Xiangdong's family and Xiaoguang?
Zhang Xiangdong is Xiaoguang's uncle and Xiangnan's elder brother, but do you think they care about Zhang Xiangdong now?
Good deeds are rewarded with good deeds. When the second brother's family was in trouble, Xiangyang did not hide. Xiaoguang wants to repay the favor!
Don't feel bad about it. If you didn't give anything back then, don't expect a reward now.
Don’t blame me for not reminding you, Xiaoguang is very different from his father. The kid clearly distinguishes between gratitude and resentment and will not tolerate any injustice.
Having all four of you help build the house is already taking care of our family."
The old man endured the bitterness in his heart and came to see his wife and children.
"Dad, we know that if we can earn five pounds of fine grain a day and bring it home, we're quite content."
Zhang Xiangqian and Zhang Xiangpeng quickly expressed their opinions.
They both knew that they were not the only ones who had to build the house for their second uncle.
Bricklayers are not a rare occupation, and their skills are not high, so they are not irreplaceable.
As soon as the conditions offered by my second uncle's family get out, many people will rush to do it.
"They want to help Xiangyang's daughter find a job. They can say whatever they want in private, but why do they have to do it in front of us? Aren't they deliberately making us feel uncomfortable?"
Sun Ximei muttered softly.
She understood what her father-in-law said, but the gap in her heart was still a little hard to accept.
"Don't you understand? I'm saying this to your faces. Firstly, Xiaoguang is honest and there's nothing he needs to hide behind.
Secondly, the other person’s child doesn’t care about your attitude at all. What else can you do even if you are unhappy?
Are you going to do it out of spite? If you dare not go tomorrow, someone will immediately take your place, do you believe it?
I know you two sisters-in-law are feeling unhappy, but can you blame anyone else?
What did you say when your second uncle came to borrow food? Did you say we didn't have enough to eat?
When Panpan was sick, your second aunt also came to lend me money, right? Did you give her a cent?
You now know that you envy Tian Sulan, but don’t you look at yourselves and ask yourself what you have done? How can you compare with Tian Sulan?
At that time, everyone knew that Xiangnan had become a traitor. When he helped your second uncle's family, he didn't think about rewards, he just valued friendship."
Zhang Qingxiang felt extremely regretful at this moment.
He and Zhang Qingchun were brothers from the same mother. When his younger siblings came to him to borrow money and food, he wanted to give them, but his wife and two daughters-in-law were reluctant, and for some unknown reason he did not insist.
Maybe he himself felt that his second brother's family was doomed to fail! There was no need for his brothers and second brother's family to cause discord in his own family.
