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

Zhang Xiuhua had never felt so tired. She thought that when Aunt Wang saw the gold medal, her first question would be "Where did this gold medal come from?", but she never expected that she would ask about "chocolate".

Zhang Xiuhua was speechless. After a long while, she picked up the gold medal and put it in front of her. "Look carefully, whose chocolate is gold?"

Are there already gold coin chocolates at this time?

"Xinghua bought it for me before, saying it was imported from abroad, just like this, golden, with chocolate inside, very delicious." Aunt Wang Er had no sense at all, and she presented facts and reasoned with Zhang Xiuhua. She didn't realize that Zhang Xiuhua was about to collapse because of her. She added fuel to the fire and asked, "If it's not chocolate, why are you hanging it around your neck?"

The question was asked with such righteousness that Zhang Xiuhua was unable to recover for a long time. She simply stopped pretending. The roundabout tactics didn't work, so she tried something direct. She knocked the gold medal against the wall, making a crisp sound. "Is this a gold medal?!"

She stared at Aunt Wang Er with her eyes fixed on her, as if to ask me, "Where did you get this gold medal?"

But she obviously underestimated Aunt Wang, who never played by the rules. "Gold medal? Made of gold?"

Zhang Xiuhua was stumped by the question and answered after a long while, "It contains 2% gold!"

Aunt Wang curled her lips in disdain, "Such a large piece only has 2% gold?!"

Zhang Xiuhua was tired, "Is this the point?"

Is it possible that the honor of a gold medal is not as valuable as the medal itself?

Aunt Wang was stunned for a long time before she realized, "Oh, right? Where did you get this gold medal?!"

Zhang Xiuhua breathed a sigh of relief! That's right, this is the point! Look at how hard she is trying! Ergou was obviously showing off, and others only needed to look at him to know that he had made a fortune, without any effort at all.

How come she... She gave the gold medal to others, but they thought it was fake. It seems that she is too poor and has no temperament of a nouveau riche.

It seems that not everyone can stand showing off!

She reflected on herself and thought that maybe she was too low-key in normal times, and when she suddenly changed her style, others were not used to it for a while!

Zhang Xiuhua cleared her throat lightly and said, "This is the gold medal that Baolin won in the 1500-meter short track speed skating at the National Games. He's a national award!"

Aunt Wang finally showed her surprise. "A national award? Oh, Baolin is amazing! This child is really promising. He is so promising even without taking the college entrance examination!"

Zhang Xiuhua finally felt happy after hearing her flattery.

As they were talking, a villager passed by. Aunt Wang used her golden trumpet style to wave at the villager, "Come and see! Is this Baolin's gold medal?"

The man was really attracted and ran forward. "Gold medal? What gold medal?"

In the blink of an eye, the door of Aunt Wang's house was surrounded by villagers who came to watch the fun.

It was clearly the month for hibernation, but despite the ice and snow, they were not afraid of the cold at all. They all wrapped themselves in thick cotton-padded jackets and wore their newly bought shoes to sneak out of their homes to join in the fun.

"Oh, your Baolin is really promising."

"You don't need to tell me, Baolin has always been very smart! She even got into a key high school in the high school entrance exam. She just didn't go."

“Is this the first athlete from our village?”

"Right, right! So I can win glory for my country just by skating?!"

……

In the past, the villagers only knew that the only way to have a bright future was to pass the college entrance examination and go to university. After Baolin won the gold medal, they suddenly realized that they could also succeed through ice skating.

"Xiuhua, you have a good daughter. Let her win a championship for our country when she participates in the Olympics next year!"

In fact, the villagers know nothing about short track speed skating. Even though they are from Northeast China, they also skated on the snow with wooden boards when they were young, but those were just for fun and were different from formal competitions.

Everyone was shocked to learn that this could win the championship.

Zhang Xiuhua explained, "Ice skating is a starting point for our country. She has never won an Olympic champion in this track. She will definitely strive to win glory for the country. But it is hard to say whether she can win the championship."

After hearing what she said, the villagers realized how difficult it was to win the championship, so someone said, "She is still young and lacks experience. She will have many opportunities in the future."

"Yes! Now that I have won the national championship, the Olympic championship will definitely not be far away."

Zhang Xiuhua was trying to show off and actually froze her feet.

In the evening, she prepared some water for washing her feet, soaked in it for a while, and then went to bed.

Seeing her smiling from ear to ear, Li Jianguo couldn't help but smile too, "Are you feeling relieved now?"

Zhang Xiuhua nodded, "With this gold medal, I will no longer be worried about Baolin not being able to find a job."

In fact, the courtyard house she left to Baolin would make Baolin worry-free about food and drink. But without a job, people can easily become useless. For young people, work can prove their value. Baolin really needs it.

Li Jianguo asked Youcai how his life was in the capital.

"He's very busy. He has to take care of the restaurant business and the renovation of the new house. He can't even take care of the barbecue restaurant." But Zhang Xiuhua immediately added, "But I see Youcai is smiling, it seems that his married life is good. His spirit is different. He is full of energy. He was not like this before."

Li Jianguo breathed a sigh of relief. "This child is always easy to satisfy. As long as he and Zhenzhen are doing well, we can worry less."

Zhang Xiuhua leaned in the quilt, "Now that Youcai's lifelong event has been resolved, the next one is Ergou. But I don't think he's in a hurry to find one. If one person has to manage three factories, he can't manage it even if he has three heads and six arms."

Li Jianguo nodded. "This kid has always been very opinionated. When he wants to find something, he can find it quickly. When he doesn't want to find it, it's probably useless even if we urge him."

"That's Jidong. He's still studying abroad." Zhang Xiuhua thought of a possibility and laughed out loud, "Do you think it's possible that Jidong could bring a foreign girl here?"

Li Jianguo was a soldier before, so he doesn't like foreigners very much. But if Jidong really likes her, he will accept her. He just thinks more about it. "He can only work in a state-owned enterprise with the major he chose. If he marries a foreign wife, his future may be limited!"

Aerospace majors need to sign a confidentiality agreement. If he marries a foreign wife, his boss may doubt his position. Li Jianguo thinks Jidong should not marry, but now marriage is free, and he cannot interfere with the child's right to choose.

Zhang Xiuhua also stopped smiling and thought carefully, "I don't think it's possible."

Li Jianguo glanced at her sideways, "Just now you said she brought back a foreign girl? Now that's impossible."

"I'm just thinking divergently." Zhang Xiuhua said confidently, "Jidong has always been calm and self-controlled. It's a bit difficult for him to take the initiative to pursue someone. Sometimes I even doubt whether he can be attracted to any woman."

In his previous life, Jidong’s wife was not his. It was when he reached a certain age that a very good elder introduced his daughter to him. Jidong thought the girl was pretty, and since he and the elder had a good relationship, the two of them were a strong combination, so they got married. He was indeed a good husband. But his relationship with his wife was dull. There was no passion at all.

"Foreigners are passionate and direct, while Jidong is dull and introverted and may not like excessive initiative," Zhang Xiuhua said with certainty.

Li Jianguo thought this was too much, "Most people are attracted to different personalities. He is introverted, so he will definitely be attracted to cheerful and smiling women."

Zhang Xiuhua was so angry that she punched him and said, "If you can't speak, shut up!"

Li Jianguo felt very aggrieved, because it was clearly her who brought it up first. He was just telling the truth, and she was unhappy again.

You don't need to guess what he was thinking from his expression. Zhang Xiuhua muttered, "I was just joking with you just now. Since you said it would affect the work, then of course I don't want him to find a foreigner."

Li Jianguo was defeated by her, "You change too fast."

Zhang Xiuhua thinks Jidong's problem is not a big deal. It's a problem whether this kid can find a partner. "I'm worried about Baolin now. Someone is already pursuing her."

Li Jianguo choked, "Baolin? She's only eighteen years old. Isn't it too early for her to fall in love?"

For country people, 18 is not too early. But Baolin is different. She is an athlete and her career is on the rise. If she falls in love at this time, it will affect her career.

Zhang Xiuhua sighed, "I heard he's a wealthy businessman, twenty years older than Baolin. Baolin probably doesn't like him. But this man is the first, but not the last. What if a young talent likes Baolin and she is attracted to him? What should she do?!"

Li Jianguo couldn't think of a good solution for a while, but he soon thought, "The sports team is usually so strict, Baolin is still young, and the team must prohibit dating, don't scare yourself."

Zhang Xiuhua is now extremely nervous. "When the children grow up, I start to worry about their marriage. If you choose the right person, the rest of your life will be like living in a honeypot. If you choose the wrong one, you will waste your energy and delay your career. If you give birth to a child, you will have to be a housewife in the future, and your future will be hopeless. How can I not be anxious?"

The key point is that Baolin made the wrong choice once in his previous life, and Zhang Xiuhua is particularly afraid that Baolin will make the wrong choice again.

"This is not something to be rushed!" Li Jianguo patted her shoulder, "You just have to relax. Face it calmly! Everything will be fine in the future."

That was all Zhang Xiuhua could think of.
