when she became "he"

An apple was gnawed clean, leaving a little apple core, and threw it on the low table. Li Guihua picked up another one and started to gnaw, without stopping while eating, and said to Zhang Xiujuan: "My niece and daughter-in-law are city apples. Miss Li, after Dawen married her, didn't he live in Lao Taishan's house? Sister-in-law, I didn't say that, you and elder brother are Dawen's sons, don't let your daughter-in-law get married and put your son in!"

I have to say that Li Guihua's words really touched Zhao Dazhu and Zhang Xiujuan's heart. Zhang Xiujuan's heart skipped a beat, and then she remembered that when she was chatting with Xia Ran just now, it seemed that she was the only daughter in her family, and there were no other brothers and sisters.

This had to remind her of what happened between Zhao Daqiang and Wu Dandan a few years ago. She was also in Wu Dandan's family, so Zhao Daqiang married into the woman's family. She has only returned twice in these years, and even the children born follow their mother's surname up.

Thinking of this, the two couples couldn't help feeling a little apprehensive, and looked at each other. Zhang Xiujuan looked at Xia Ran, who was sitting there, who was obviously different from the girls in the village even if she didn't do anything, and couldn't help asking: "Xiao Xia, how do you feel?" What are your plans after graduation, is it to return to work in city r?"

Xia Ran was sitting with Zhao Erqiang's wife, Wang Fang. Wang Fang could hardly take care of the two active children. Seeing the children arguing for Wang Fang to peel oranges, she peeled a few oranges with her hands empty. They didn't expect the two children to be very aggressive towards their mother, but they were timid when confronted with her. They didn't dare to take the fruit when they were offered, probably because they were afraid of strangers.

Now, after listening to Zhang Xiujuan's words translated by Xu Nuo, and seeing the look of hope in her eyes, she obviously hoped to hear an affirmative answer, Xia Ran felt a little embarrassed, and didn't know what to say for a while, so she turned to look at Xu Nuo , I also saw him frowning slightly.

When they were in the Xia family, the two of them could calmly tell Xia Tian and Zhang Qian to stay in City S, because that was what the Xia family's parents wanted, but the Zhao family's parents would never want to hear that their son stayed with the daughter-in-law at the Yue's family To them, the city where they live is no different from a son getting married.

Though Xia Ran knew that she would not graduate and work in City r as Zhang Xiujuan expected, she said with a smile on her face, "I listen to Ah Wen. Wherever I am." I silently apologized to the simple couple in my heart, because of Xu Nuo's special status, it was destined that Xu Nuo made this choice by accommodating her and abandoning Zhao Dazhu and his wife.

Although Xia Ran didn't give a definite answer, Zhang Xiujuan was in a good mood with her virtuous attitude of "regarding her husband first", and even Zhao Dazhu's frown relaxed. Be the master of the house.

Seeing Xia Ran pushing all the problems on him, Xu Nuo secretly pinched her palm as punishment, but she didn't want to be gently touched by her fingertips on the palm of her hand a few times. Half of his arms were numb, his face turned red suddenly, he glanced at her secretly but met the mischievous smile in her eyes, and took the opportunity to wink at him, there was really nothing he could do about her.

Coughing lightly, Xu Nuo showed embarrassment on his face, and said to Zhang Xiujuan and Zhao Dazhu: "Abba, Amu, I was just about to tell you that it is really difficult to find a job for my major. Last time I visited Ran Ran's father When I was a mother, Uncle Xia said that there are friends in the big hospital, he can help to contact you and arrange a good job, but I thought, if I work in S city, I can't come back to see you often, so I give Refused."

Zhao Dazhu and Zhang Xiujuan were full of worry on the promise of nonsense, "Dawen, is it really so difficult to find a job?" Thinking of his son's rejection of the opportunity to work in a big city in order to come back to see them often, he felt It is touched and distressed.

Suppressing the guilt in his heart, Xu Nuo nodded solemnly, "Yes, there are too many college students now, and there is a saying that 'you will be unemployed after graduation'. If we study medicine, if we don't have a hard relationship, it is basically impossible for us to enter a big hospital. Yes. But don’t worry, Eum, after all, I’m a graduate of H University. When I go back to the county hospital to seek a job, it’s probably not a problem. Alas, I’m afraid my future success will not be as good as those of my current classmates. The salary It may not be too high, but there are gains and losses, returning to work in the county is close to home, and I can often come back to see you two elders, which is more important than anything else!" He sighed heavily, with a smile on his face. Obviously lonely, and a little unwilling.

Seeing the loneliness on their son's face, Zhang Xiujuan and his wife felt uncomfortable. His son went to a big city to study at a key university, and finally had to go back to work in a small county because of them. No wonder he was unwilling.

It seemed that he had found a place where he could attack Dafang, so Li Guihua stopped eating apples, looked at Xu Nuo and said in surprise: "What kind of crappy university did Dawen study, it is so difficult to even find a job, so it can be seen that studying is useless , Look at my family’s second-best, who didn’t graduate from junior high school, and now it’s not a few thousand yuan a month, which is much better than those who have gone to college.”

Xu Nuo quietly rolled his eyes, acting too much, but forgot that there was Li Guihua, a "show-off maniac", beside her, and thanks to her being able to spare no effort to praise Zhao Erqiang, at that time, she proposed to let Zhao Erqiang learn to drive, and later run transportation , can be regarded as a way out, but Li Guihua refused to pay the thousands of dollars for learning how to drive, and even scolded the second-ranked prodigal. In the end, Zhao Dazhu paid the money. Now that Zhao Erqiang can make money, he has become her Li Guihua's good son .

I don't know whether Xu Xu's acting was too successful or he was stimulated by Li Guihua's words. Zhao Dazhu, who had been silent all this time, finally said: "A good man has ambitions everywhere, and Dawen doesn't have to go back to the county. You and I are not too old to move. I need you to take care of me at home. While we are still able to move for the next 30 to [-] years, you can go out for a few decades, and you may be able to make a name for yourself. My Zhao family has managed to produce a 'champion scholar', so it can't be like this Buried in a small county town."

Zhang Xiujuan opened her mouth, and echoed, "Yes, Dawen, your father is right, we, a small county town, have wronged you too much."

Although they knew that the Zhao family couple would definitely let their son stay in the city for the sake of their son, but when they heard what they said, Xu Nuo was still very moved. These are parents, and everything is based on children. It's really despicable for the first parents to deceive such a simple couple purely for their son in order to achieve their goals!

For a moment, Xu Nuo really wanted to just let them go and let it go, but just looking at Rou Yi in his palm, he suppressed this impulse, lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice: " Ran Ran's father also mentioned before that after Ran Ran and I get married, we can buy a house in the city and take you two elders there, so that no matter whether Ran Ran and I stay in City S or City H, we can often go back to see you, In the future, if you have, er, children, you can also let them receive a better education and go to a good school."

Xu Xu's proposal was obviously beyond the expectations of the couple. They had never thought of leaving home to live in the city, but now they suddenly heard this, and they all fell silent.

On the other hand, Second Uncle Zhao heard it, rolled his eyes, and said with a smile: "Brother, Dawen's suggestion is good. You and sister-in-law have worked so hard for him to study for so many years, and now you are finally successful, and it's your turn to enjoy the blessings." , this is a piece of filial piety from my nephew, so don't refuse."

At that time, the elder brother's family will all live in the city, and this house in the village...

Thinking of this, Zhao Ershu's eyes became brighter, and he spent a lot of effort to persuade Zhao Dazhu and his wife to list the benefits of living in the city one by one. Although I don't know why Zhao Ershu is working so hard, Xu Xu actually wants to pick up Zhao Dazhu When the husband and wife live in the city, he can buy another adjacent house, so that he can take care of them nearby, and he and Xia Ran can still live together, so he also persuaded him.

If Uncle Zhao is not good at other skills, his verbal skills are the most powerful. Even Zhao Dazhu, who had never thought of leaving the village, was persuaded by him and had some thoughts.

only……

Zhao Dazhu shook his head at the end, "Dawen has a heart, it's fine if I stay at home with your mother, there are so many fields waiting to be cooked in this house, your mother and I don't know what to do except farming, When we get to the city, one of us feels uncomfortable, the second will cause trouble for you, and the third, everyone in the city speaks Mandarin, and we can't speak it either. It will be difficult to find someone who can speak, and we will not be comfortable in the village after all. .”

Although Zhang Xiujuan really wants to live with her son, but thinking about what her husband said, if she really wants to let her live in the city, I'm afraid she won't get used to it, and then she will live with her daughter-in-law every day, but you don't understand what I'm talking about , I don’t know what you’re talking about, it’s fun, and young people these days probably won’t want to live with their parents-in-law. If you live together every day, there will inevitably be some quarrels, son. It's not easy to be caught in the middle, thinking that when she was young, she was eager to split up and live alone.

Xu Shi had expected it a long time ago. Xu Nuo was not surprised by the choice of Zhao Dazhu and Zhang Xiujuan. After all, he was not very happy about the fact that Zhao's parents agreed to stay in S city after graduation. Achieved, but the mood is still not high.

Xia Ran was in a daze, not knowing how many people in the promise had reached a conclusion on where they would stay after graduation, but she was a little surprised to see them coming and going, and Uncle Zhao's eloquent words, and she didn't know who they were What are you talking about, the language barrier makes her look deaf.

No matter how eloquent Uncle Zhao is, once Zhao Dazhu has made a decision, he will not change it easily, so although Uncle Zhao is not reconciled, he persuaded Zhao Dazhu for a long time, but he could not shake his decision after all.

It was getting dark soon, a few people talked for a while, Zhang Xiujuan got up to prepare dinner, Xia Ran didn't sit idle, and followed into the kitchen, "Auntie, let me help you!"

Zhang Xiujuan asked her to help wash the dishes. Seeing that she was skillful in her movements, and she didn't seem to be hands-free, she had an idea in her heart. Seeing that she still wanted to help with the cooking, she waved her out and said, "You don't have to give us a hand today." Show it, I heard from Dawen that your mother's cooking is delicious, and you should also try auntie's cooking."

Although Xia Ran still didn't understand, the body language was not difficult to understand. After saying "that's troublesome auntie", she went out to find promises.
