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

Although Zhang Xiuhua did not live to see Sun Guangming being fired, the garment factory was going to be sold and wages would certainly not be paid.

On the day Zhang Xiuhua went to work, she learned from Li Jiandang that the clothing factory had a new owner. It had originally cost one million yuan to buy it, but it only cost five hundred thousand yuan to sell it. It was considered a good deal.

"He's selling it even if it means breaking his bones. It shows that he's deeply hurt." Zhang Xiuhua sighed inwardly, "Who will take over?"

Li Jiandang didn't ask in detail, "It seems he is also a private boss from the south."

Zhang Xiuhua nodded and didn't ask any further questions.

After she got to work, she delivered eggs and tea eggs to the canteen. The team leader came to her and said that the conductor wanted to discuss something with her.

Zhang Xiuhua immediately ran over, and the conductor told her not to bring eggs next time. "We have set up a special service company at the railway station to purchase food ingredients, including eggs."

Zhang Xiuhua understood, "Okay, I'll borrow a phone later and call my husband to ask him to stop sending eggs."

"Good!" The conductor was very satisfied to see that she was not upset. "You have worked hard during this period. Keep working hard. The higher-ups have decided to give you a raise."

"Thank you, boss!" After all, he was the boss, so he spoke beautifully. Obviously, everyone's salary was raised together, but after he said that, it seemed that the boss valued her. However, Zhang Xiuhua didn't care about this salary, as long as she could make some extra money.

When they arrived in Moscow, Zhang Xiuhua's team leader came over and told her, "Don't go down if you have nothing to do. Moscow seems to be quite tense recently."

The team leader didn't know exactly what happened, but was told to go out in groups.

Zhang Xiuhua thanked her for her kindness and said, "I still have things to do. I will be careful."

She left the train station and walked down the street. She felt something was wrong with this place. Before, there were just a lot of people, but now they were marching, shouting slogans, "Dissolve the Soviet Union! Deport the Abkhazians! Strike!"

It seemed like there was a conflict among ethnic groups! Pedestrians on both sides of the street saw everyone marching and joined the team. Zhang Xiuhua didn't dare to wander around the street and quickly returned to her rental place.

The agent estimated that the train would arrive in an hour. After Zhang Xiuhua finished the transaction with him, she asked him how he was doing.

The agent told her not to wander around tomorrow because there was a food shortage recently, Tbilisi was demanding independence, and there would most likely be more demonstrations.

Zhang Xiuhua found what she heard a bit creepy. After he left, she thought about it and felt that it was not safe to stay here. For the first time, she did not spend the night here and went straight back to the train.

The others were still awake, and when they saw her come back, they asked her if it was very chaotic outside, as if someone was shouting some slogans.

They knew some simple Russian, unlike Zhang Xiuhua who had spent several years practicing.

Zhang Xiuhua repeated the intermediary's words verbatim: the Soviet Union would disintegrate in two years. But the disintegration would not happen in the blink of an eye, but would only happen when the long-standing contradictions reached an irreconcilable point. Now is the precursor to the disintegration!

Zhang Xiuhua did not sleep well that night. Firstly, the bed was too small and it was difficult to turn over. Secondly, there were occasional roars outside, which made it impossible to sleep.

The next day at work, she yawned every once in a while while selling things.

Seeing how tired she was, Xiao Chen asked her to take a rest. "I'll help you sell for a while. You can find a place to rest."

Zhang Xiuhua was a little embarrassed, but Xiao Chen didn't care at all, "We are colleagues, we should help each other."

Zhang Xiuhua likes to work the night shift (it is convenient to get beef from the space), but Xiao Chen doesn't like it, and the two often help each other.

Zhang Xiuhua didn't bother to be polite with her and secretly went to catch up on her sleep.

Six days and six nights passed in a blink of an eye, and Zhang Xiuhua arrived in the capital. She didn't sleep well on the way. She didn't go to Youcai's house, but went straight back to the rental house to sleep for more than two hours. After waking up, she found a restaurant nearby to eat.

After dinner, it was already dark. She had slept too long in the afternoon and couldn't fall asleep when she went home, so she wandered around nearby, wanting to see the night view of the capital.

There weren't as many neon lights in the capital at that time, but some busy streets were equipped with street lights. Residents nearby would come out and stroll around, and also buy some food at the night market.

This night market sells everything, not to mention food, but also clothing, clothes, shoes, hats, even hairpins, and all kinds of books sold by the pound.

You have to know that in the year when the college entrance examination was resumed, the printing factory did not have enough pulp, so they could only print the test papers first, and other books had to wait.

Now? There are all kinds of tutoring books. There are also extracurricular picture books and comic books printed.

As she was enjoying her shopping, she suddenly heard a familiar voice in front of her, "Digital watches, pens, hairpins...Beauty, this hairpin is so pretty, it suits you very well!"

"Handsome guy, buy one for your girlfriend. Look how much she likes it?"

Xiangxiang and Jidong shouted in unison, and soon the people they called over bought the items. After wrapping the items, they gave the change, sent the customers away, and shouted again, "Electronic watches are only two yuan... limited quantity, first come first served!"

Jidong's voice stopped abruptly. Xiangxiang was curious. She looked up and saw that he was staring in a certain direction. She followed his line of sight and her eyes met Zhang Xiuhua's.

Jidong was a little embarrassed, but since things had come to this point, he didn't hide it. He stood up and greeted with a smile, "Aunt, you're back?!"

Zhang Xiuhua glanced at him and then at Xiangxiang.

Xiang Xiang also stood up and called out, "Aunt Zhang?"

Two people set up a stall to sell things late at night. Zhang Xiuhua has lived two lives, so she can see the tricks behind this. However, she never thought that Jidong would date Xiangxiang. How could they be together? Isn't it said that growing up together, it is impossible to fall in love? She couldn't figure it out, and didn't ask them in front of so many people. She just nodded and said, "You guys continue to sell. I just came out to eat."

Jidong did not sit down, but said something to Xiangxiang and followed Zhang Xiuhua.

Zhang Xiuhua glanced at him and said nothing.

There were egg cakes for sale here with a rich aroma. Zhang Xiuhua took a curious look at them and Jidong immediately paid and bought one for her.

Looking at his flattering actions, Zhang Xiuhua was both angry and amused, "Are you afraid that I'll be angry?"

Jidong scratched his head, "No! I didn't intend to keep it a secret from you for too long. I didn't tell you before because the time was not right."

Zhang Xiuhua teased him deliberately, "What if I bump into you in advance? What will you do?"

Jidong said calmly, "It's good to bump into him. Just don't tell Youcai."

"Why?" Zhang Xiuhua wondered.

"He's a big mouth. I'm afraid he'll tell my uncle, and then everyone in the village will know about it." Jidong was a little nervous, "I'm afraid Xiangxiang's parents won't agree."

"Why would they disagree? You've laid out your conditions. They'll just treat you as having another son." Zhang Xiuhua told him not to worry, "You're really lucky."

There is a reborn aunt, and a reborn daughter-in-law. This is the chosen one.

No matter how smart Jidong was, he didn't understand her double meaning. "I just wanted to tell them first. I didn't want them to know about it from other people first. Otherwise, they would be angry with me and blame Xiangxiang."

Zhang Xiuhua understood, "Okay! I won't tell Youcai. But Youcai already knew that you had a girlfriend, the one Zhenzhen met. But she didn't recognize Xiangxiang."

Subtext: If she happens to run into you guys, it's not her problem.

Jidong also understood what she meant, he smiled and said, "I plan to go back and pay them a formal visit during the New Year holiday!"

Seeing that he had made up his mind, Zhang Xiuhua said nothing more, "Remember to bring more gifts. If you don't know what to give, ask your uncle."

"it is good!"

Zhang Xiuhua was a little curious, "How did you two fall in love with each other? Did you pursue her, or did she fall in love with you first?"

In his previous life, Jidong had a very cold personality, and the wife he married was a marriage of convenience. There was no love before marriage, so there was no hope after marriage. They could only be treated with respect. He was with Xiangxiang, which really shocked her. She couldn't help but ask. She usually didn't ask her children about the details of their relationships. Children grow up and have their own ideas, and as elders, they have to withdraw gracefully and not be annoying. In the past, when she gave Youcai advice, she was worried that Zhenzhen would be upset if she knew about it. She only gave advice twice, and then she didn't care.

But Jidong is different. This child lacked love since childhood. His father died early and his mother remarried. As his aunt, she is his closest relative. Therefore, she has always been the most concerned about Jidong. She is always worried that this child will have an inferiority complex due to living under someone else's roof, and that he will develop a people-pleasing personality. Now that he is in a relationship, she can't help but worry that he is for other reasons.

Jidong didn't know that Zhang Xiuhua had thought so much. He thought about it carefully and decided that he liked Xiangxiang because she had a good personality and was a bit like his aunt.

What kind of partner a person will choose when he grows up depends on his own personality and the personality of his parents. If the mother is strong and the boy is in a repressive environment for a long time, the partner he chooses when he grows up will go to two extremes, either too strong or too gentle. Jidong is almost in this situation.

Since childhood, Zhang Xiuhua has cultivated his ability to be independent. Zhang Xiuhua is also naturally optimistic and open-minded. Many girls are lively and optimistic, but it is rare to be open-minded. It is not that girls are jealous, but they have experienced little and will take the things they are experiencing very seriously.

But Zhang Xiuhua is different. She has lived two lives and has become more open-minded about many things. She is also more tolerant of others and will not judge them with one blow. For example, she helped Ergou. Even though Ergou did not listen to her advice on many things after he became successful, she would not be angry with him because she had done him a favor, and would not think that the child was undisciplined and distance herself from him.

Xiangxiang gave him the same feeling as his aunt. When he and Xiangxiang ate together, she would not lose her temper because he was late. When she encountered trouble, he would try to help her solve it. Even if he didn't do it in the end, she would not be angry. After listening to his explanation, she would happily say, "You have tried your best. Thank you!"

It's really rare to find such an open-minded, non-noisy and rational girl!

After listening to his explanation, Zhang Xiuhua patted his shoulder and said, "If you like these things about her, then you two will be happy."

Jidong blushed for a rare moment.

Zhang Xiuhua still wanted to go shopping alone, "You should send Xiangxiang back first. It's not safe for the little girl to go back alone."

Jidong hesitated, "How about I take you back first? She'll be well for a while!"

"No! I want to go shopping again." Zhang Xiuhua hadn't finished shopping yet. The egg cake was really delicious. She wanted to buy some more and give it to August. The little guy can eat all the complementary foods except peppers.
