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

Zhang Xiuhua was eating a bunch of candied haws when she suddenly saw a familiar figure of a girl not far away. She didn't remember who she was, but when she turned around and their eyes met, she suddenly widened her eyes and didn't recognize her.

The girl seemed afraid of being seen and led her to the alley next to her.

"Jue Mei? Why are you here?" Zhang Xiuhua looked around, wondering if anyone from the Zhang family was out shopping today. If they saw Jue Mei, it would be a disaster. You know, San Ya, Wu Ya, and Liu Ya didn't bring back a penny this year. They had a fight at home. If they saw Jue Mei, it would be a disaster. They would definitely fight.

Juemei was wearing a brand new blue cotton coat, a hat and a scarf, and was wrapped up tightly. But people who knew her could recognize her at a glance.

When Jue Mei saw her, her eyes became more friendly. "I came back to apply for an ID card. You need an ID card to work in Pengcheng now. The previous letter of introduction is no longer useful."

Zhang Xiuhua suddenly realized that the three girls in the Zhang family were really smart. They transferred their household registration before they had a falling out with their parents. Jue Mei was in a passive position.

Jue Mei finished speaking and looked at her expectantly, "Aunt Zhang, has my household registration been cancelled?"

She heard that the production quota was also implemented here, so she deliberately left her shoes by the river when she disappeared, hoping to avoid future trouble. But now she found that she had caused herself a big trouble.

Zhang Xiuhua reassured her, "It's not cancelled. Your parents are determined not to cancel your account in order to get more land."

Jue Mei was relieved. She had thought they were selfish before, but now she had to thank them for their selfishness. But without canceling her household registration, her problem could not be solved because she had no way to move her household registration.

Seeing that she didn't say anything, Zhang Xiuhua guessed her thoughts. She estimated that Juemei hadn't found a suitable person to marry, so she didn't move her household registration by getting married. So she smiled and said, "Don't worry, the village chief has changed, and Youcai's father has taken over. It's easy for you to move your household registration. I'll ask him to issue a certificate, and you can go to the police station to report the loss of your household registration book."

Jue Mei's eyes lit up, God was really helping me! She couldn't wait to pull Zhang Xiuhua to a stall to buy something for her to thank her.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and waved her hands repeatedly, "It's okay! It's just a small matter, you don't have to be so polite!"

Jue Mei is thoughtful and a bit of a loner. It must be very hard for such a person to live outside. She has lived a happy life and doesn't care about her gratitude.

Jue Mei was determined not to do so. She was a little embarrassed. "I came from the south and bought you two cotton-padded clothes. The styles were very nice. Unfortunately, they were stolen by a thief on the train. Even my luggage was lost." Fortunately, she put the money in her underwear pocket when she came. She was not on guard against thieves at the time, but her family. When she came, she had made the worst plan. If her parents insisted on not helping her to apply for an ID card, she would pay a lot. But she didn't expect a sudden turn of events. She held Zhang Xiuhua's hand a little harder and said, "Please let me do my best. We may not be able to meet in the future."

Hearing her speak so sadly, Zhang Xiuhua sighed and did not refuse.

She asked Jue Mei, "Did you meet your sisters in the South?"

Jue Mei was slightly startled, "No! I went to Xiamen."

Because she was afraid of meeting fellow villagers who went south to work, and afraid that they would inform her parents and arrest her and take her back, she went to a city where no one knew her.

Zhang Xiuhua suddenly realized that it was no wonder that so many of her fellow villagers had not met Juemei. They were not in the same city at all.

As the two were talking, Zhuzhu finally realized that Zhang Xiuhua was missing. She looked around and indeed found her mother, who was shouting from a distance, "Mom!"

Zhang Xiuhua heard the voice and was about to agree, but Jue Mei suddenly stepped inside and said, "Aunt Zhang, I'll wait for you here at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded.

Zhuzhu ran over from not far away and saw Juemei's figure. She thought she looked familiar, but couldn't remember who she was, so she asked, "Who is that?"

Zhang Xiuhua was afraid that she would recognize Juemei, so she deliberately changed the subject, "I know you. I just saw some rice popcorn bars for sale. Do you want some?"

Zhuzhu was indeed attracted and nodded quickly, "Yes!"

There are really a lot of people in this market. Villagers from twenty or thirty miles around will come here to buy things. Not only do they not need tickets, but the prices are also very cheap.

Zhang Xiuhua also saw many chicken farms bringing in imported eggs to sell at a price slightly cheaper than what they sold in the county.

The price of free-range eggs raised by rural people is slightly higher. This shows the wisdom of the working people. Many people claim that free-range eggs are more nutritious and have a more delicate taste than foreign eggs.

Regardless of whether there is factual basis for this or not, at least people with better conditions still prefer free-range eggs.

Zhang Xiuhua bought a lot of dried fruits, dried fruits and biscuits for the children to eat while on the train.

When they got home, the children were playing at home, and Zhang Xiuhua went to the orchard to find Li Jianguo, who was pruning branches in the orchard. In fact, he had also pruned a lot in November, but the Gala fruit seedlings transplanted last year had grown up and could bear fruit this year, so the branches had to be pruned as well. He was busy in the field.

In addition, the small animals before the New Year also need to be fed.

Li Jianguo has had no rest for the entire year, and his face is much rougher than when he was a flight attendant.

Zhang Xiuhua is a bit obsessed with appearance and was afraid that he would become ugly, so she bought him a windproof cap from the market. He is not nearsighted, and wearing this cap will prevent his skin from getting dry and cracked.

Li Jianguo put it on happily, but complained that she was wasting money.

Zhang Xiuhua rolled her eyes, took a pair of big scissors and came over to cut the fruit branches, and told her about Juemei's return.

Li Jianguo was relieved to hear that Juemei was still alive and doing well.

When he learned that Zhang Xiuhua wanted to help her child move his household registration, he didn't take it seriously. He went home and wrote a certificate, "Juemei, remember to bring the household registration book to me after you finish it."

Zhang Xiuhua agreed.

The next day, Zhang Xiuhua gave the certificate written by Li Jianguo to Jue Mei. She was so happy that she smiled happily and went to the police station to get a new household registration booklet and then moved her household registration.

After finishing all this, she said goodbye to Zhang Xiuhua, not daring to stay for even a moment, fearing that her parents would see her.

Zhang Xiuhua told her about the situations of several sisters.

When she learned that her fourth sister had eloped with a man, moved her household registration, and gave birth to a child but did not raise it, she did not scold her for being foolish, but only said, "I can't take care of myself and can't help her. I just hope she won't be so foolish in the future."

Zhang Xiuhua's tone was calm, as if she had experienced many hardships. She didn't have Ergou's drive or business sense, so her life was neither good nor bad. She looked quite content, which was fine.

"Aunt Zhang, I'm leaving! We may not see each other again. If you need my help in the future, remember to come to Xiamen to find me." Jue Mei was about to give her address, but Zhang Xiuhua refused, "I don't need your help, just live a good life. Remember to be more careful when you are out there."

Jue Mei's eyes were red. She held her hand tightly, nodded and said "OK".

She turned and left. Zhang Xiuhua looked at her back and sighed heavily.

After returning home, Zhang Xiuhua went to the orchard to hand over the household registration booklet to Li Jianguo, "What do you want this for?"

Li Jianguo sighed helplessly, "Juemei has moved her household registration, her parents will find out sooner or later. Rather than argue about it later, I might as well find an excuse now."

He tore up the page in his household registration book indicating that he had moved out, asked Zhang Xiuhua to look after the orchard, and went to Zhang's house.

When he arrived, the Zhang family was arguing.

The cause was that the Zhang family's beloved son saw the village children eating golden fruits and wanted to eat them too, so he went home to make trouble for his parents.

Zhang's parents promised him that they would buy him the next time they went to the market, but the spoiled child couldn't wait even a moment and threw himself on the ground. Zhang's parents could only beg their son to get up.

Li Jianguo heard this from outside the door and thought it was ridiculous. Is he raising a son or an ancestor? It's not enough to promise to buy it next time, he has to buy it immediately. He's already in high school, and he's still spoiled like this. Can we still count on him to support us in our old age? He's dreaming!

He knocked on the door, and Zhang's father and mother heard the noise and immediately came to open the door.

Seeing that it was the village chief, Zhang's father warmly invited him in.

Li Jianguo didn't want to go in, so he waved his hand, "No need. I just want to tell you one thing. Your Juemei has been missing for a long time, and the higher-ups found out about it. So they cancelled the child's household registration and got a new one."

After saying that, he threw the household registration booklet to him.

Zhang's father hurriedly took the household registration booklet, but without opening it, he chased him and asked, "Where is the land?"

It doesn’t matter to him whether Juemei cancels her account or not, but the land cannot be lost.

Li Jianguo said calmly, "The land is temporarily for you to farm. It will be gone next time when the land is divided."

Hearing this, Zhang's father breathed a sigh of relief. It's still too early to divide the land next time. As long as the land is not taken away this time, it's fine!
