If you cheat, money will follow

On New Year's Eve, the four members of the Chang family drove back to grandma's house to celebrate the New Year. This was Tan Xiaoya's request.

Chang Le's two aunts will return to their hometown to celebrate the New Year this year, which is a reunion of the Tan family.

According to tradition, the Tan family is not prosperous. Chang Le's grandfather and grandmother have passed away many years ago. His uncle and aunt also passed away due to a traffic accident, leaving behind an infant cousin.

Therefore, Chang Le's grandfather's lineage can be regarded as a daughter who is married outside to support the appearance.

Fortunately, several sons-in-law are developing well.

Needless to say, Chang Xueqin was already considered an unattainable official in the eyes of the villagers.

Chang Le's second uncle, Zhou Yuan, works as a professor at a well-known undergraduate college in Zhaozhou, Jiangnan. From the perspective of outsiders, his social status is very high.

Chang Le's uncle Deng Haichao teaches in a key middle school in Tongzhou, Jiangnan, and is considered a backbone of society.

"Xiao Xia, Chang Le's cousin, had a really hard life. He lost his parents when he was very young. He was raised by our aunts together."

In the back row, Tan Xiaoya took a tissue from Jiang Xia and wiped her tears.

"This child, because of the care of our aunts since childhood, is not much different from other children in material terms, but he is very sensitive in his heart, relatively withdrawn and has low self-esteem..."

"In Zhaozhou, after graduating from junior high school, I secretly left my second aunt's house and left a letter saying that I was going to work along the coast."

"Auntie, where is Tan Jie now?" Jiang Xia asked.

"I don't know. It's been almost three years since I left home, and I won't come back for the Chinese New Year. On the phone, I said here for a while, and there for a while. No one can tell which city it is." Tan Xiaoya said.

"Then let's get him back together. Chang Le should be able to help with work." Jiang Xia said.

"I just refused to come back, saying I wanted to start a career. But for a junior high school graduate, it's not that easy." Tan Xiaoya said.

"If he is willing to come back, and with the help of our aunts, he will have a job no matter what. He just has too much self-esteem and is unwilling to rely on others."

Speaking of this, Tan Xiaoya wiped away tears again.

When we arrived at grandma’s house, two cars were already parked on the front lawn of the old house.

Chang Le's two aunts, Tan Xiaofang and Tan Xiaoyue, had arrived one day early because of the relatively long journey.

Chang Le had just parked the car when two aunts, two uncles, and cousins ​​came out of the house.

Chang Le's second uncle, Zhou Yuan, smiled and said, "Hey, Secretary Chang is finally here. He's so late. I'll have to drink a few more drinks later."

Chang Xueqin responded with a smile: "It's the New Year's Eve and there are many things to do. It's only on New Year's Eve that I can step away and understand."

Chang Le's second aunt Tan Xiaofang saw Jiang Xia next to Tan Xiaoya.

"Hey, sister, your family has a new member? Who is this?"

"Haha, yes. Xiaofang, Chang Le is now old enough to find a girlfriend."

Tan Xiaoya held Jiang Xia's hand and introduced them to him:

"Xiaoxia, this is the second aunt, Tan Xiaofang."

"Second uncle, Zhou Yuan."

"Cousin, Zhou Jing."

"This is my aunt, Tan Xiaoyue."

"Uncle-in-law, Deng Haichao."

"Little cousin, Deng Yun."

Jiang Xia greeted them one by one under Tan Xiaoya's introduction.

Then, Tan Xiaoya introduced Jiang Xia: "This is Chang Le's girlfriend, Jiang Xia."

After the introduction, Deng Haichao said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, you will have more than three drinks today. My daughter-in-law has brought her, so you will have at least six drinks."

Chang Xueqin said: "Nine cups are fine, Zhou Yuan, Haichao, I will accompany you to get drunk today."

"Okay, today we will stay with you until the end to see who survives to the end." Zhou Yuan and Deng Haichao said.

Everyone entered the room while chatting, and the two cousins ​​naturally circled around Jiang Xia, calling each other sister-in-law, making Jiang Xia beam with joy.

Immediately, she couldn't help but took out the New Year's gifts in advance and gave them to her two cousins.

After the two cousins ​​received the gifts, their mouths became sweeter.

"Thank you sister-in-law, it's so beautiful!" Zhou Jing said.

"Sister-in-law, you are so beautiful. I have wanted a bracelet like this for a long time." Deng Yun said.

The two cousins ​​are already high school students. They know about aesthetics and have begun to love beauty.

I couldn't put it down because of the Swarovski crystal bracelet that Jiang Xia received as a gift. When I put it on my hand, I was overjoyed.

"Sister-in-law, let me tell you, my cousin was very naughty when he was a child. Let's take you to see his great achievements..." After putting on the bracelets, the two of them pulled Jiang Xia out of the house.

The three sisters Tan Xiaoya are busy in the kitchen.

Tan Xiaofang said while chopping vegetables: "Sister, no one has lived in this house for a few years. It ages a bit fast."

Tan Xiaoyue said: "Yes, sister. You don't know, when we were cleaning yesterday, we found signs of water seepage in several places on the roof of the third floor. If not repaired, it will break down quickly."

"This house should be repaired, not only repaired, but also overhauled." Tan Xiaoya said: "Xiaofang, Xiaoyue, I have already thought about it. In terms of money, you also need money now, so just think about it. The main thing is for me to come out."

"Sister, how can this be done? Both Xiaoyue and I are responsible. Could it be...?" Tan Xiaofang asked worriedly.

"Sister, you and your brother-in-law must not mess around for money. My brother-in-law has just taken office not long ago." Tan Xiaoyue also continued.

"Don't think blindly, your brother-in-law and I are not that stupid. The main thing is that he has fun and has a future. After he went to college, he opened a company and made some money. He also gave me some money, which was enough to repair the house." Tan Xiaoya Simple explanation.

"Lezi opens a company?"

In the living room, the three uncles sat together watching TV, drinking tea, and then talked about the harvest and gains and losses of the past year.

Deng Haichao said: "This year, overall, there are still gains. Last year, the class I led produced three students from Qingbei, and they earned a large bonus. I was also successfully rated as a special teacher, and my salary increased by 3. A lot of money. In the school, everything is satisfactory. Years ago, we had a deputy mayor who took the initiative to invite me to dinner, hoping that I could take care of his children. "

Zhou Yuan said: "Then you are now considered a famous teacher in Tongzhou."

Deng Haichao said: "Famous teachers are not considered famous teachers. I can only say that they are lucky. These three children will not be bad in any class they switch to."

Zhou Yuan nodded: "Indeed, to be able to go to Qingbei, talent is the first priority."

Deng Haichao said: "But, I don't know what happened to Deng Yun this year. His grades have dropped sharply and he shows signs of being tired of studying. Xiaoyue and I discussed taking turns to accompany him, otherwise he will not be able to pass the undergraduate examination. Then That’s a big joke.”

Zhou Yuan continued: "I have been inactive this year. I have no academic achievements, and I have published a few useless papers to make up for it. I found that I became a lot lazy after I was appointed as a professor. I will correct it in the coming year."

"Zhou Jing studied well and saved us a lot of worry. Especially her math scores caught up and she ranked among the top 30 in the final exam. She took the initiative to challenge Qingbei. Xiaofang and I didn't want to give her too much Pressure, as long as you can get to 985."

Chang Xueqin continued: "I've had a pretty smooth year this year. Chang Le's studies and personal matters have all been settled, so Xiaoya and I don't have to worry about it. My energy is now focused on work..."

"In the past, I felt that my knowledge accumulation was relatively rich among officials of the same class. But now that I am in this position, I find that I am looking at the sky a little bit. The breadth and depth of knowledge are far from enough. There are big deficiencies. Many questions need to be asked. other people……"

Chang Le took the camera and walked around the front yard and backyard of the house alone, taking pictures of all directions and corners of the grandma's house.

The huge yard, due to lack of maintenance for a long time, was covered with weeds and swayed in the wind.

The moss on the wall is still dark green even in winter, changing the original color of the wall and giving off a cold air.

Tan Xiaoya mentioned repairing the house to him, and he also felt that it was necessary to repair the house.

It is not only necessary to repair, but also to cultivate the traditional style and cultural pattern.

As the saying goes, a tree has a skin and a person has a face.

It is human nature to be sour and jealous, and this is even more obvious in the village.

Ever since their uncle and aunt had an accident, many people in the village have been secretly watching jokes, saying that no matter how well the three sisters of the Tan family develop and how much they eat from the national food, it is just water thrown away and cannot change the fact that the Tan family is not prosperous.

What's more, Tan Jie, the only child of the Tan family, hasn't come back for several years.
