Chapter 222
Xu Di didn't know how Xu Mei discussed it with her parents. In the end, Xu Mei went to Shanghai alone, and the child remained in her parents' home.
This matter was told by Lin Wei.
In mid-August, Lin Wei took a break and brought her children here to play.
"Xu Di, your elder sister is gone, did you know?"
“I don’t know, we only met once, when she just came back.
Sister-in-law, what news do you have that we don’t know? Tell me about it. ”
“It seems that you and Xu Mei are really not close.
In most families, sisters have better relationships with each other, but your family is really different. ”
Lin Wei has no biological sisters, and her relationship with her cousins is not very good.
“Maybe our sisterhood is just a weak bond, and that’s how it will be in this life.
What happened? What did she say to you? ”
"Nothing much, just some things about Shanghai. Her parents-in-law seemed not very satisfied with her, and they didn't care about the two children she gave birth to.
Li Gengsheng, Xu Mei’s husband, had a female classmate with whom he had a good relationship before, and their families also had a good relationship.
If they had not gone to the countryside and separated, they might have gotten married and had children.
Now, both of them are married, but what you can't get is always the best. ”
When Lin Wei heard Xu Mei say this, she really felt sorry for her.
I told Xu Di about this today, hoping that the Xu family would be more considerate of Xu Mei. She is in a dilemma now.
"Knowing that Li Gengsheng is like that and her in-laws don't like her, why did she go to Shanghai? Since she was able to get into such a good university in Shanghai, a university in Beijing would be fine too."
"She wants to fight for it again. After all, they have two children and they have been married for so many years, so they are not without affection.
The reason why Xu Mei did not take the child to Shanghai was that if the two of them separated, she would not hand the child over to the Li family.
After all, Xu Mei had a difficult delivery when she gave birth to her daughter, and she will never be able to have children again. ”
Lin Wei also couldn't understand why Xu Mei, who was once such a strong and competitive person, had to hang herself on the tree with the surname Li.
"We are not Xu Mei. The choice she made should have been well thought out.
My parents decided to help her take care of the children after careful consideration. ”
It’s not that Xu Di is indifferent, but that Xu Mei rejected her from the very beginning.
Perhaps from the moment she knew that Xu Mei had found a job and stayed in the city, the gap between her and Xu Mei could no longer be eliminated.
“Yes, I am speaking from the perspective of Xu Mei’s friend, hoping that you can understand her more.
But from your sister-in-law's perspective, I think you did nothing wrong.
So, what I said today is as good as saying nothing and has no practical effect. ”
Lin Wei felt that she was too arrogant and said things she shouldn't have said.
"It's okay. I didn't take it to heart, and I won't change my relationship with Xu Mei because of what you said."
Xu Di and Lin Wei have a good relationship and are considered a rare pair of sisters-in-law with such a harmonious relationship.
They didn't spend much time with Feng Liping as they lived far away from each other, and with Zhang's mother interfering, the relationship between the three of them was distant.
Living at home, there are basically these things to deal with: the affairs of the husband's family, the affairs of the parents' family, which are endless and difficult to sort out.
In the yard, Xuan He, his four younger sisters, two dogs, and a cat were laughing. Xu Di and Lin Wei also laughed.
In September, Xu Di started school.
Nuannuan also went to the affiliated primary school. Xu Di made a backpack for her. The denim fabric that Xu Qiang brought back from the south was quite thick.
Xu Di imitated the backpack of primary school students and made it quite successfully, except that it had buttons instead of a zipper.
In this way, Xu Di would first send Nuannuan to school every day, and then ride his bicycle to his own school.
Nuannuan got out of school early, and Aunt Wu went to pick her up.
Tuantuan and Yuanyuan also went to the nursery. Their nursery was very close to their home. It was full of children of Peking University faculty and staff and was well managed.
In October, Zhang Chaoyang came back and stayed for a few days.
Xu Di didn't know what he was responsible for in the army, but looking at the scars on his body, he knew it was not an easy job.
Apart from other things, Zhang Chaoyang had several gunshot wounds on his body, the most obvious one being on the chest.
"Wife, is schoolwork difficult?"
“There’s a lot of homework. In September, freshmen entered the school, and we became sophomores.
There are so many lessons to learn, and there are endless questions to memorize every day. It’s really overwhelming. ”
Xu Di really didn't feel at ease, she was gritting her teeth and holding on.
She did not give up English either. From time to time, Bai Weiwei would practice speaking with her.
Professor Bai went abroad to study and spoke with a pure London accent. When Bai Weiwei and her siblings were in their teens, they started learning English from Professor Bai.
Therefore, both of them have a very good foundation in English, especially spoken English, which is really fluent.
Bai Weiwei knew that Xu Di was learning English by herself, so she found a lot of information for her and helped her practice speaking whenever she had time.
Speaking of Bai Weiwei, after the joint efforts of Professor Zhang and Professor Bai, the two girls who impersonated others were expelled from school, and the family power behind them also collapsed.
Not only were several of them dismissed from their posts, but many illegal and disorderly activities were also investigated and dealt with in accordance with the law.
Those two girls must be very regretful. If they knew there would be such an ending, they would hide away when they saw Bai Weiwei one day.
Unfortunately, there is no such thing as knowing it in advance, and no medicine for regret in this world.
When the weather got cold, Xu Di became particularly careful, fearing that the three children would catch a cold.
In the past, when the weather was cold, several children would not go to the nursery.
However, now that the children are older, and Xu Di did not take them back, they will have to adapt to the environment sooner or later.
Also, there are many children in the nursery and they have playmates, especially Yuanyuan. She really likes making friends and talking.
Fortunately, the three children have good physiques, so the milk they drink every night is not in vain.
For the sake of health, Xu Di not only ordered milk for the children, but also for Grandma Qian.
Grandma is old and needs to drink milk to supplement calcium.
Xu Di used to pay attention to physical exercise. She didn’t want to experience the torture of illness in her life.
When all the autumn vegetables in the backyard are stored in the cellar, it means winter is coming.
This year, they couldn't finish eating all the vegetables in the backyard, so Aunt Wu and Grandma Qian dried them.
There are a lot of dried vegetables in the warehouse at home.
There were also various specialties that Xiaojun sent over from Hunan Province, the most common of which was tea, which is very famous.
There were also various dried fruits, and clothes, headdresses, and sachets of local ethnic minorities were sent to the three children...
Not only Xu Qiang, but Xu Yong also sent two things, which were local specialties of his military academy.
Xu Qiang even brought them food and daily necessities every time he came back from a trip.
Xu Qiang brought back some goods privately, and Xu Jia helped him sell them at school.
The brother and sister worked in perfect harmony. Xu Qiang took the lion's share of the money they earned, while Xu Jia took the smaller share.
The two of them did it secretly and didn't dare to make it public.
At the end of December, that influential meeting was held, at which the state encouraged individual entrepreneurship and encouraged educated youth returning to the city to find their own way out.
"Sister, sister, look, look."
Xu Qiang was holding the newspaper, his hands were shaking with excitement.
"See, you'll have a chance in the future."
"Yes, I am looking forward to it. I am really looking forward to this day!"
Xu Qiang was really happy. From now on, he no longer had to do things secretly, but could do them openly.
"Xu Qiang, we are still exploring everything now. You have a formal job, so be careful about the impact, don't be too high-profile, and make a fortune quietly.
Your job gives you a lot of conveniences. Don't give up your job easily. There are too many things involved.
Making money is important, but there is no rush. ”
Xu Qiang’s current household registration is still at his workplace. If he loses his job, it will be difficult to get his household registration.
Moreover, transportation is not well developed now, and you need a letter of introduction to go out, so you can't take too big steps.
“I know, sis, I know.
I will go on a blind date first, get married, and then start a career. There is no rush. ”
Xu Qiang also knew that some things could not be rushed.
Besides, he didn't have much money right now, having just paid back the money he borrowed from his sister.
The policy has been introduced, but at that time, everyone still thinks that state-owned enterprises are good and setting up street vendors is shameful.
However, there are also many people who cannot care so much for the sake of their livelihood.
There are obviously more people selling things on the streets. A new era has quietly arrived.
