Stepmother Reborn: Dad, my mom hasn't hit me for three days

The next day, Youcai went to his grandfather's house to find Hongxia and asked her questions.

After Hongxia finished explaining the problem to him, when he was about to leave, Li Jianxin came and asked Hongxia if she had his father's address.

Hongxia really did have one, because she and her brother were the ones who wrote letters to their father at home.

Hongxia went back to the house to get the address, and Youcai asked Li Jianxin, "Uncle Jianxin, do you really want to buy those shoes for them?"

Li Jianxin said as a matter of course, "Of course. If they like it, I will definitely buy it for them."

Youcai thought it was too much trouble. "It would cost a lot of money to send it from another province. Besides, the shoes are from abroad. Aunt Zhang bought them because they were out of stock, so they were cheaper. If you buy them from abroad, it would cost at least fifty yuan."

Li Jianxin didn't take it seriously, "It's okay. The kids like it, buy it for them."

There is nothing to say about talent.

Hongxia came out with the address, and Li Jianxin thanked her and left.

Youcai stared at his back in a daze, Hongxia looked at him, "What's wrong with you?"

"I just think Uncle Jianxin is quite tall." Youcai said and left.

Hongxia looked at Uncle Jianxin, who was only 1.6 meters tall. Is he tall?! Does he not know how to count?

Another week passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhang Xiuhua helped Zhuzhu buy snacks to entertain guests.

Peanuts, golden fruits, melon seeds, candies, gala fruits, pears, oranges and peaches.

Four kinds of snacks and four kinds of fruits are considered a treat for distinguished guests these days.

In order not to disturb Zhuzhu from entertaining guests, Zhang Xiuhua came to find Xu Chunying.

Xu Chunying did not go out to sell vegetables today. She goes out early and comes back late every day, and she never rests. She did not sell vegetables today not to rest, but because someone wanted 2,000 kilograms of radishes. She found several families in the village who grow radishes, and she also picked some from her own plot to make up the 2,000 kilograms.

When Zhang Xiuhua came over, Xu Chunying had already finished picking radishes and sat down to peel radish leaves. When she saw Xiuhua coming over, she was a little surprised, "Didn't everyone say you were learning Russian? How did you have time to go out?"

There are no secrets in this village. Zhang Xiuhua did not hide her Russian studies from the villagers. She has lived for most of her life and has long since stopped caring about face. She can let others say whatever they want, it won't hurt her.

She smiled and said, "Zhuzhu is entertaining classmates at home. Since I can't study, I came to talk to you. How is the county town doing recently? Is business busy?"

Except for a few cities that have been liberalized, the attitude towards speculation in other places is ambiguous. Sometimes it is very strict, and sometimes it is very lenient.

Just like Tiesuo who had always taken popsicles from her before. After being exploited several times, he took the money and went to Pengcheng to make a living.

Zhang Xiuhua gave up the popsicle business. Although the cost of making popsicles was low, the risk of exposure was high. She could not cooperate with someone who was not trustworthy.

Xu Chunying waved her hand, "Don't mention it! The county is cracking down on speculation. It doesn't matter. There's no way to do business."

Zhang Xiuhua understood. Now people rely on connections to set up stalls and do business. No connections, if caught once, they will be fined several hundred yuan. All the previous earnings will be lost. In order to avoid jail time, most people will choose to pay the fine.

But there are also many people who are forced into the business, and they have no money, so they can only go to jail.

"The people who buy vegetables from me are all acquainted with the higher-ups." Xu Chunying curled her lips, "I suspect that the whole city is being busted for speculation and profiteering, and that's also their fault."

The patrol team ignored the existing shops and only arrested street vendors. She didn't believe that no one gave the order.

Xu Chunying is no longer the Xu Chunying of the past. She has seen a lot, experienced a lot, and her vision has become different from before.

"Summer vacation is coming soon. Don't let the children set up stalls during their vacation. Don't let them delay their college education." Xu Chunying told her.

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Okay! I'll remember that."

After talking about this, Xu Chunying talked about another gossip, "I heard that Aunt Wang's house has a tenant?"

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "Have you seen it?"

"I met him yesterday." Xu Chunying suddenly thought of something and burst into laughter.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhang Xiuhua was a little puzzled when she saw her suddenly laughing.

"Actually, I know that teacher. She used to teach in our village. She was a good teacher." Xu Chunying said with a smile, "Her husband was a coal miner. A few years ago, there was an accident in the mine and he died. She originally wanted to remarry..."

Hearing a violent coughing sound behind her, Zhang Xiuhua turned around and saw her mother-in-law Liu Shujun carrying a stool out.

Seeing that she wanted to help, Xu Chunying waved her hand and said, "I can do it myself. It's not that much."

Zhang Xiuhua asked her, "Who did she originally want to marry?"

Liu Shujun started coughing again. Xu Chunying finally understood her mother-in-law's hint and just found it funny. "Mom, why are you coughing? What if my sister-in-law knows about this? My second brother didn't choose her before, and he won't choose her in the future."

Liu Shujun blushed, afraid that Zhang Xiuhua would misunderstand, and hurriedly said, "I'm just afraid that you will think too much. In fact, they only met once. Jianguo was in a hurry to return to the army, so he left in a hurry. They didn't even talk a few times."

Xu Chunying also nodded, "Yes! Just once."

Zhang Xiuhua said quietly, "It's common in our village for people to get married after just one meeting. I see that you are not satisfied with me, so you must like her!"

Liu Shujun didn't dare to admit what she said. She went back and broke up her second son's family. Jianguo must hate her to death. She laughed and said, "Don't put a accusation on me. I don't recognize her! I don't even recognize her. She doesn't know how to live even more than you do."

Xu Chunying also laughed, "They are educated youth, they live a fine life, what's wrong?! Do you have to make it rough?!"

Zhang Xiuhua had heard Zhuzhu say this before. Teacher Su's room was very clean. She also pasted white paper on the wall, replaced the lights with crystal chandeliers, and replaced the windows with glass. There were also flowers planted by the window.

It's very cold in the Northeast. Flowers are not easy to grow. But she didn't think it was a hassle at all. She grew several pots of flowers.

In addition, the decoration of her house is also very beautiful.

Aunt Wang complained to Zhang Xiuhua that Teacher Su didn't know how to live.

Even though her house is habitable, she insisted on decorating it. She made it very beautiful. You have to take off your shoes before entering.

Otherwise, Zhuzhu wouldn't be so self-deprecating in front of Jiang Tao.

Zhang Xiuhua rested her chin on her hand, "It's still good to have a job. I can live so freely and comfortably with my children even if I don't marry. I can live so exquisitely."

Unlike her, who has three children to raise, she can only live a rough life!

Xu Chunying laughed, "Maybe she is envious of you too?!"

"What do I have to envy? Taking care of six kids means I have to worry about everything every day. Look, wrinkles appear on my face." Zhang Xiuhua pointed at her own face.

Xu Chunying glanced at her and said, "With the way you raise children, you're still worrying about it?! I don't think even if you have ten more, you won't be tired enough."

Xu Chunying knew exactly how Zhang Xiuhua raised her children. It wasn't that she deliberately asked about it, but Liu Shujun was worried that the stepmother would not be good to the child, so she always liked to trick the child.

After learning that Zhang Xiuhua had left the housework and cooking tasks to her children and was a hands-off boss, Liu Shujun wanted to go to her house, but was persuaded by Xu Chunying and Li Jiandang.

"As long as she treats everyone equally and raises her own children the same way, then we'll shut up."

These were Li Jiandang's original words. Liu Shujun later secretly talked to Li Jianguo about this matter, but he didn't say anything, and the matter was left unresolved.
