Chapter 256
Before the summer vacation, Xu Di received a call from Xiaojun. He had finished a meeting and had one day off, so he wanted to have a meal with his family.
Xu Di said that she would arrive on time with the child and asked him not to worry.
In recent years, Xu Di rarely goes back to her parents' home. Except during the holidays, she has to go back to visit. At other times, she really doesn't want to go back.
Ever since Xu Mei graduated and returned, the Xu family has never been at peace.
At that time, Xu's father said that after Xu Mei came back to work, he would let her take care of the child by herself and live alone.
Unexpectedly, Xu Mei was assigned directly to the Red Star Machinery Factory and entered the design department.
The Red Star Machinery Factory is one of the largest factories in Beijing, with over 10,000 employees.
Xu Mei followed Li Gengsheng to a well-known university in Shanghai, majoring in mechanical design.
So, after Xu Mei returned to Beijing, she reported to the unit and moved directly into the Xu family.
She is not eligible for housing at work and can only live in a dormitory. How could a dormitory with a public toilet and several people living in one room be as comfortable as Xu's three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment with a bathroom?
Xu's father disagreed. Xu Mei and her mother cried and complained about how difficult her life was during those years in Yun Province.
More than twenty of them lived in a low dormitory which was damp, hot and full of mosquito bites. She even developed a chronic illness.
If you live in a bad environment, you will get bumps on your body and it will be very itchy.
In the end, Xu Mei successfully stayed in the Xu family.
Brother Xu and Sister-in-law Xu were very angry. They felt that Xu Mei, a daughter who was married and divorced, was staying in her parents' home, causing them to be criticized.
Xu Ping'an is the eldest son and grandson of the Xu family, but he has no place to stay. There is nothing that can be done about this.
In the end, Xu Mei and her daughter moved into the room that Xu Di and her friends had previously occupied, and Xu Mei's son moved into the room that Xu Jun had previously occupied.
Father and Mother Xu moved back to the master bedroom, and their previous room was left for Xu Ping'an to live in during the holidays or for Xu Jun's family of four to stay when he came back.
Two years ago, Xu Mei got married to Wang Jianye, the deputy director of a machinery factory who was a widower with children.
Wang Jianye is seven years older than Xu Mei. He is a retired soldier and has good abilities.
His wife died of illness and he had two sons. The older one was three years older than Xu Mei's son, and the younger one year younger than Xu Mei's son.
After a failed marriage, Xu Mei no longer pursued high-brow things. She became completely down-to-earth and realized the importance of material things.
When she married Wang Jianye, she only brought her son and not her daughter, saying that there were too many boys in the family and it would be inconvenient.
This matter caused a huge uproar at the time, and Mrs. Xu hated Xu Mei to death.
The house they were allocated was only 40 square meters with two small rooms.
When the children were young, the living space was quite spacious.
At that time, Mrs. Xu wanted to have her own little home, so she moved in happily.
Later, Anxin was born. As the child grew older, the house became too crowded, so Pingan moved back to live with his grandparents.
Now, her two daughters are squeezed into a small room, while Xu Mei's daughter has a room of her own. She, a granddaughter, is actually more popular than the Xu family's biological granddaughter.
The matter was noisy for a while, but finally, for some unknown reason, it calmed down.
Xu Di's scalp now tingles whenever she thinks of going back to her parents' home. However, Xiaojun rarely comes back, and she can't miss it.
It happened to be the weekend, and Xu Di took the bus with his three children to the staff quarters of the machinery factory.
The weather was good and there were many people in the family compound, some drying their quilts, some chatting, and people coming and going, with a lively atmosphere.
"Xu Di, your three daughters have grown up so much, they are so beautiful!"
"Yes, time flies, and the child grows up in a blink of an eye."
Xu Di greeted familiar people along the way and arrived soon.
In the past, every time she brought the children back, there were always some people who openly or secretly mocked her for only giving birth to three daughters and no sons.
Xu Di had quarreled with them several times. Although they didn't say anything openly, they kept quarreling with him behind his back.
Xu Di didn't care. As long as they didn't say anything nonsense in front of the children, she was too lazy to pay attention to them.
Because she, Chaoyang and her grandmother are very caring towards children, Nuannuan and the others have never thought that there is anything wrong with being a girl.
Oh, don’t think about it anymore, Xu Di reached out and knocked on the door.
"Second sister, long time no see. Nuannuan, Tuantuan, Yuanyuan, do you miss your uncle?"
"Uncle, we miss you, and we also miss aunt and cousins."
Yuanyuan responded on behalf of the sisters, while Nuannuan and Tuantuan were responsible for nodding.
"Come on, go inside."
Xu Di saw Brother Xu and his wife, and Xu Mei and her husband sitting in the living room. They were all there.
"Xu Di, Zhang Chaoyang is not back yet?"
"No, he's busy with work, and he's not sure when he'll be back."
After Xu Mei got married, she kept up with the fashion trends, permed her hair, and put on makeup.
"That's how it is in the military, there are no real holidays. Chaoyang is in a good location, and there are a lot of things to do."
Wang Jianye himself had spent ten years in the army and knew more about it.
Brother Xu and Sister-in-law Xu didn't say much. They are quiet now, and I don't know if it's because they are afraid of offending Deputy Director Wang.
After all, Wang Jianye, the deputy factory director, has real power.
Xu Di came back mainly to see Xiaojun and didn't want to get involved in the lawsuit between them.
"Xiaojun, when will you go back?"
"The train tomorrow morning."
"Then after you finish your meal, come with me. I have ordered two strollers for the two children and you can take them back.
The children are not even one year old yet and won’t be back for a while. This is a one-year-old gift from me, their aunt. ”
Xu Di went to the Friendship Store before and saw a baby stroller. She thought it was suitable for Xiaojun's family. The stroller was very spacious and could be used until the child was two or three years old.
"Thank you, second sister."
"Uncle, the cart can be folded, you can just carry it in the car.
This is the gift we prepared for my cousins. Please take it back. ”
Nuannuan handed over a bag containing small toys they had prepared for their cousins.
Since they were little, their uncle has given them many gifts, and there are still many of them in the room.
"Okay, my uncle will take them to thank my three cousins."
Xu Jun and his sister are never polite to each other and are close to their three nieces.
Xu Di gave gifts generously, and she didn't care what other people thought.
It was such a long journey and she was afraid that it would get damaged if she checked it in. Just then, Xiaojun came over.
The two daughters of Brother Xu and Xu Mei's daughter looked at Nuannuan and the others with unhappy expressions.
The child is still young and can't control his facial expressions very well.
Ping An doesn’t matter, his gift has already been sent.
As for Xu Mei's son, he is not familiar with his uncle.
Mr. and Mrs. Xu looked at their children who were clearly divided into different groups, and they felt distressed but had no one to vent.
Mr. Xu thought of what his old father said and now regretted it deeply.
When Xu Di got married, his father told him that he should treat all children equally.
They felt that Xu Mei was far away and suffering outside, so they unconsciously wanted to subsidize her.
Everyone in a family has his or her own thoughts.
Because Xu Jun came back, they got together, had a tasteless meal, and then went their separate ways.
