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

In the blink of an eye, Xu Chunying came back from the hospital. She was still a little haggard and needed to stay in bed to recuperate.

All the villagers went to her home to visit the patient, and Zhang Xiuhua followed them after hearing the news. When she entered the house, the main room and the inner room were full of people. Older women crowded around Xu Chunying's kang and asked about her recent situation.

"Is there anything else that feels uncomfortable?"

Xu Chunying was still a little weak, "I'm fine."

"Your child is really filial. He even treated a disease worth 30,000 yuan."

Li Jiandang did not say that the money was not paid by the children. If he did not pay a penny, the villagers would definitely think that they had raised the children in vain. After all, he raised so many children, and he still did not want them to be criticized by the villagers.

"After all, I'm a college student with a high income. If it were me, my family would have no money and I would just have to wait for death."

Everyone looked envious. Xu Chunying forced a smile and said, "You are also lucky. Your children are with you."

After chatting for a while, Xu Chunying had to take a rest, so the villagers took the opportunity to say goodbye.

Time flies and it’s August already. Yaoyao is about to go abroad to study, so she specially goes back to her hometown.

Li Jianguo gave her 300,000 yuan. "This is the cost of your two-year study abroad. It's inconvenient for us to transfer money, so I'll give it all to you at once. You can figure out how to convert it into US dollars."

He doesn't understand English and is afraid of making mistakes.

Yaoyao pursed her lips and said, "Thank you, Dad!"

Li Jianguo looked at Zhang Xiuhua, "Can you give her some instructions as well?"

Zhang Xiuhua thought about it and advised Yaoyao not to go out casually because the security there was very poor.

Yaoyao listened carefully and said, "I don't know anyone there. I'll focus on studying."

After saying this, Zhang Xiuhua mentioned, "You study abroad, and you must return to China after graduation."

She had said this to Jidong before. She would also say it to Yaoyao this time. She had some confidence in Jidong because Jidong was very dependent on her as his aunt. But Yaoyao had been introverted since she was a child, and her thoughts were hard to figure out. Zhang Xiuhua was actually a little disappointed about the early love affair. This child might be a little bit of a sophisticated egoist, and only considered the side that was beneficial to her.

This kind of personality goes to the United States, which is not like a bird finding its home nest. Will Yaoyao stay abroad and never come back? !

She may not care, but Li Jianguo certainly can't stand it. He has always put the country first. If the child he raised with great effort stays abroad and becomes a foreign citizen, he will lose face. He will not dare to see those comrades who have shared life and death with him in the future.

Yaoyao nodded, "Dad, Mom, I will definitely come back. Don't worry."

Li Jianguo is very confident about Yaoyao, "Dad believes in you. When it comes to major issues, my daughter will not make mistakes."

He told Yaoyao to study more and bring back advanced agricultural books for him to read if he saw any from abroad. He thought for a moment and said, "I don't know English, but your uncle Xingjia knows it, so you can ask him to translate it for me. I also want to keep up with the times!"

Yaoyao didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Okay! If there's a chance, I'll help you find a wine recipe."

"That's even better!" Li Jianguo still wanted to develop his brewery.

After giving instructions, Yaoyao left her hometown with her luggage and set off to study in a foreign country. No one knew whether the journey would be smooth or whether the study process would be safe. They only hoped that the child could overcome all difficulties and return home soon!

After seeing Yaoyao off, Zhang Xiuhua stayed in the orchard every day picking fruits.

The eldest sister-in-law also came to help. After Xu Chunying recovered from her illness, she couldn't work too hard, so Li Jiandang didn't let her do heavy work to prevent her illness from recurring. But she couldn't sit still, so she was not used to lying at home. So she came to help with light work, such as picking fruit.

Zhang Xiuhua felt that her sister-in-law's behavior was not okay. "You owe me money, but I'm not anxious. Why are you anxious? Am I afraid that you won't pay me back?"

Xu Chunying didn't even raise her head. "You don't understand. I don't want to be a useless person."

She is obviously more than 20 years younger than her mother-in-law, but now, her mother-in-law can help with cooking, while she has become a idler in the family.

Zhang Xiuhua was worried that she would slip and fall. "We are on a mountain. If you fall and get hurt, my brother will come after me."

"Why risk your life? This job is so easy!" Xu Chunying disagreed.

Zhang Xiuhua felt that this was inappropriate, "Why don't you go to the morning market and help sell fruit?"

Xu Chunying was slightly surprised, "Can't you sell this fruit?"

"It can be sold. But the wholesale price is not worth it. If you sell it at the morning market, you can get a good price, and the extra part is yours." Since the opening of the mutual trade agreement, the borders of the two countries have been frequently connected. The people of Da Mao would come to buy things. Among them, fruit is their first choice. Fruits on the Da Mao side are particularly expensive.

Xu Chunying thought it was feasible. Selling fruits was less troublesome than picking them. "What if I can't sell them?"

"Gala fruit can be stored for a long time! If it can't be sold, just keep selling it." Zhang Xiuhua disagreed.

Xu Chunying thought it made sense and agreed immediately, and asked Zhang Xiuhua to teach her a few words of Russian.

Zhang Xiuhua was worried about her being alone, so she planned to go with her to sell.

She turned around and asked Aunt Wang to help her look after the orchard.

You have to get up early to go to the morning market. To be honest, Zhang Xiuhua always likes to sleep in, and she doesn't get up until 8 or 9 in the morning to eat. In order to catch the morning market, the two of them have to get up at 4 o'clock. Then they drive a tricycle to the morning market to set up a stall. If you go too late, the good spots will be taken by others.

When they arrived, the best spot was already occupied, so they quickly pushed the tricycle to the empty space.

Put a pile of Gala apples on the tricycle, find a piece of cardboard, write a few words in Russian and the price, and wait for customers to come.

Her Gala apples were just picked yesterday, and there were still a lot of Gala leaves, which were very fresh and cheap, so many people could afford them. Many people would stop to ask the price and then buy a big bag.

Of course, some people from Russia also came to ask for prices, and Zhang Xiuhua could communicate with them fluently, which was very rare for foreigners.

Although other stall owners can speak a few words in Russian, it is limited to a few words. It is rare to be able to communicate as smoothly as Zhang Xiuhua.

As a result, more and more people from Da Mao came to her to buy Gala fruit, and many of them even came to her specifically to ask for directions.

Xu Chunying helped with the weighing, while Zhang Xiuhua did the accounting and collecting the money, and the two worked together seamlessly.

In just over an hour, she sold out the entire cart of Gala fruits she brought. Other stalls didn't even sell half of them.

Xu Chunying was extremely envious. "Before, I thought it was a waste for you to learn Russian, but today I know that the knowledge you learned was not in vain."

Zhang Xiuhua smiled and said, "You can learn it too."

Xu Chunying was eager to learn, and she actually tried to learn it when she got home. But learning a language is really difficult. Especially since Xu Chunying is old, her memory is not very good. It takes a long time to remember a sound.

Zhang Xiuhua originally had the patience to teach her, but she couldn't remember it after repeating it so many times, so she just threw the tape she had used to her and said, "Sister-in-law, just follow it and learn."

She doesn't have the energy to teach.

Xu Chunying also knew that her sister-in-law had to work, so she accepted her proposal, "But you have to teach me some simple Russian first. For example, how do you say one hundred yuan, and how do you say three kilograms for ten yuan?"

This is more practical, so Zhang Xiuhua taught her how to say it.

As they were talking, they heard Aunt Wang's loud voice outside. It seemed something was going to happen. Zhang Xiuhua and Xu Chunying were both gossipy people, so they immediately gave up teaching and ran out to watch the fun.

It turned out to be the puppy's father who had returned from outside, which surprised Zhang Xiuhua and Xu Chunying. You know, he had been out looking for his son since May, and it was already September when he came back.

Xu Chunying asked, "Have you found the puppy?"

Many people in the village gathered around, waiting for his answer.

The puppy's father shook his head, "No! I can't find it. The autumn harvest is coming soon, I will come back to collect the food."

Aunt Li Si sighed, "We have agreed to get engaged, but if the child doesn't come back, can the marriage still go ahead?"

The puppy's father wanted to go ahead, but it would be even more embarrassing to hold a wedding without a groom. He lowered his head and said, "Let's wait until he comes back for the New Year."

Zhang Jinbao's father taunted him, "Are you sure the puppy will come back for the New Year?"

Some families in the village look down on each other. In the past, the Zhang family was ridiculed by everyone. After all, their values ​​were different from those of other families in the village.

But Zhang's father also has his own contempt chain. Although his family doesn't love their daughters, they hold their son Jinbao in their mouths for fear that he will melt, and hold him in their hands for fear that he will fall. Unlike the puppy's father, he doesn't love his own son and beats him to death. Is this what a human being does? !

Because of their different educational concepts, the two often ridiculed each other.

Zhang Jinbao didn't get into college, and his seven daughters were always away from home. Every time, they were mocked by the dog's father! Now the son that the dog's father was proud of is not coming home, which makes Zhang's father very happy. He thinks: What if your son is successful? He is still away from home? You are even worse than me.

The puppy's father thought the same. Anyone in the village could mock him, except Zhang's father. He specifically poked Zhang's heart and asked, "Will your son come back for the New Year this year?"

This is a mockery of Zhang Jinbao for running away from home on the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month. It is clear that he does not want to stay at home.

"My son just went out to make money. He didn't have any conflicts with us. When he makes money, he will come back naturally." Zhang's father was quite confident about this. He loved his son Jinbao with all his heart, and no one in the village loved his son more than he did.

Hearing this, the puppy's father didn't know what he was thinking about, and he slapped his thigh and laughed exaggeratedly.

Seeing him so happy, Zhang Xiuhua was really afraid that he would go crazy.

The others were confused by his smile. What was so funny about this? Zhang's father was right. Zhang Jinbao went out to work only because he was poor. He had to return the money he earned.

The puppy's father was done laughing, wiping the tears from his eyes, and looked at Zhang's father and said faintly, "Come back? What a coincidence! I went to look for the puppy, and I happened to see your son. Guess where he is?"

Zhang's father had no idea where his son was. He never came back after he left. He didn't even call. Of course, he would never tell his competitors about such an embarrassing thing.

"He's in Zhejiang Province!" the puppy's father clapped his hands.

"What's wrong with Zhejiang Province? It's normal for him to go there to work!" Zhang's father disagreed. Pengcheng is very strict in checking blind migrants, so it's normal for his son not to want to go.

The puppy's father smiled maliciously? "Normal? He is a son-in-law of a family, and that's normal?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone fell silent. Zhang's father's eyes almost popped out of his head. He rushed over and tried to tear the puppy's father's mouth. He was stopped by the villagers, but he still refused to give in. His fingers almost poked the puppy's father's eyes, and he shouted at the top of his lungs, "Impossible! You are lying!"

The puppy's father reported the address, "If you don't believe me, go find it yourself! See if I'm lying!"

After he finished speaking, without waiting for others to react, he put his hands behind his back, humming a song and strolled home.

The villagers were left looking at each other in bewilderment.

Aunt Wang touched Zhang Xiuhua's arm and asked softly, "Do you think what he said is true?"

Zhang Xiuhua lowered her voice and said, "It may be true. If he is lying, he will not tell the exact address."

Others thought this was too weird. The Zhang family treated their seven daughters badly, but they were very devoted to their only precious son. To put it bluntly, they were afraid that he would melt if they held him in their mouths, and they were afraid that he would fall if they held him in their hands. Jinbao was the emperor at home, and such a son actually married into the family? ! It was unbelievable!

"He is the only son in his family. If he marries into his wife's family, what will happen to them?" Everyone looked at Zhang's father.

Father Zhang still couldn't believe that his son would do this, so he ran home. He wanted to get the money and go to Zhejiang Province to find his son and ask him about it.

Some others believe it, some don't.

"Wait. When he comes back, we'll know the result."
