No matter how friendly Jiang Ruying is, she is hard to be respected by a group of women. She is even too lazy to look at her. Sometimes she takes the initiative to talk, some pretend not to hear, while others say something perfunctorily.
Not to mention Chen Yufang, she didn't like to get together with these women to chat with her family, so she simply maintained her usual arrogant attitude and took her nieces who were over four years old to stroll outside with her sister-in-law Zhou Yun.
.So these daughters-in-law of the Chen family and the daughters who went out had no good feelings for Chen Yufang and Zhou Yun.
Among these country women, people like Chen Xiulan, who are gentle and kind-hearted, and Hao Jinfeng who is straightforward and arrogant but has no bad intentions are better, and they will not say any harsh words.
But there are very few people who can't help but say a few harsh words with guns, sticks, and scolding them, as if they can vent their anger, or get some satisfaction by hitting others.
If such a person says these words, he will naturally echo and nod and say yes...
"Hey, if you don't talk about this person, you can't take yourself too seriously."
"That's right, I heard that those officials were all old men and relatives refused to recognize each other. When they were not appointed, no one took them seriously, and they remembered their relatives."
"Thirty years, Hedong and thirty years, who can't live without him? To put it bluntly, I only ask you for help if I treat you as a relative, or who should I pay attention to who you are?"
"you do not say."
Jiang Ruying, who has good qualities, can naturally hear the dissatisfaction and malice in these words. But as an elder, it is really hard for her to argue with her younger generations, and today it is a rare time for the Chen family to get together during the New Year.
It would be too unreasonable if there was a little conflict in her life. Moreover, Jiang Ruying thought that she was really no match for these country women with rich practical experience.
On the contrary, these women were much more intimate about Chen Xiulan, and they kept asking this and that, either praising the children or asking how much money the company earns a day, and whether they could help arrange work...
"Xiulan, I heard that you only have a few days a year to sell combine harvesters, and you have earned hundreds of thousands?"
"Sister Xiulan, how many tens of thousands can your logistics park earn a day?"
"Do you still use people? Xiao Kai is idle at home, so he can also go to your logistics park to work, just give him a few hundred yuan a month."
"How do you do all the transactions there? Otherwise, let's rent a house and do the business?"
"What are you renting? Do you still have to get the rent for your family?"
...
Facing the passion of relatives, Chen Xiulan, who is gentle and kind by nature, was really embarrassed and could only say humbly: "In fact, I can't make that much. The company still owes more than 6 million yuan in bank loans and 300 yuan in municipal government.
If it is almost all counted, the debt outside is tens of millions, alas."
"Hey, this means you can make money, otherwise can the bank lend you money?"
"That's right, the bank is not a fool. It's because my brother-in-law can make money. Oh, Sister Xiulan, you are really enjoying your life now. The coat you bought is hundreds of dollars, right?"
"I want to take out a loan, but when we go to the bank, I'm afraid people don't bother to look at him with their eyes."
"Xiulan, that, the child's work matter..."
Chen Xiulan was not easy to refuse, but she didn't count the company's affairs, so she could only say tactfully: "Wait a minute, the logistics park's employees are full during this period. However, the second phase of the logistics park should be in autumn this year.
If you can complete the work, you will definitely have to recruit people. Then I will say hello to you in advance."
"Oh, look at you. I didn't say anything when I was recruiting workers last year. I had to wait for the child for more than half a year." Chen Xiuzhi, a cousin of the family, muttered dissatisfied.
At this moment, Hao Jinfeng came over and said with a smile: "Sister Xiuzhi, what do you mean by this? Xiulan and his wife are doing such a big business. How are they busy all year round? They still have to go to your house to ask their children.
Can't you go to their logistics park to work? Why don't you care about it at all? Then, Xiulan told you in advance this time. Then you can ask questions carefully at that time, don't think that they are so busy
I miss you every day, is it you looking for a job for your child or someone else looking for a job for your child?"
"Oh, I'm just talking about it." Chen Xiuzhi said awkwardly - she was really afraid of this outspoken and stingy cousin and sister-in-law.
Here, cousin Guo Hong'e also spoke, "Well, I'll tell you, the boss at home will work for the construction team one day or another, and it will be unstable."
Chen Xiulan smiled helplessly and nodded in agreement one by one.
The conversation between the women in the hall was heard by Su Chunfeng, who was chatting with three or four cousins in a room next to him. He couldn't tell what it felt like, but he had a vague feeling of inexplicable things.
Worried. Seeing the sun was sunny outside through the window, Su Chunfeng got up and walked out, thinking that it should not be too cold outside now, and it would be better to have some breathing - he really didn't want to listen to these women nagging right and wrong.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the room, he was seen by the women sitting in the living room, and they all started to talk enthusiastically with kind smiles:
"Hey, I heard that Chunfeng has been studying well."
"You will definitely have a future when you grow up!"
"I'll take the college entrance examination this year, right? I think I can get into Beijing University, or Tsinghua University..."
"Not to mention, Chunfeng is so handsome, she looks like a big girl. Hey, look at it, he's blushing, haha."
"Chunyu is so old, how big is it. Look at that head, it's taller than my brother-in-law."
...
Because of the large number of people, Chen Shunhe also rented several large round tables and some stools.
For lunch, there were five large tables at home, all on the first floor. There was a table of mats for men in the hall, and a table of women's mats for two rooms on the inner side, and the two rooms on the outer side were placed.
Children's mats. However, when you really sit down, women and children's mats will not behave properly. After all, some children are too young and always have to be mothers to take care of them by their side and even feed them as mothers.
OK.
Men and women of all ages, ages, totaling 67 people.
Some relatives didn't come here.
The old saying goes, people are too talkative, and rural women are good at gossiping about right and wrong with each other. Now it is rare for relatives to get together, so don't mention the enthusiasm of eating. But when it comes to the excitement, it is inevitable that they will be reunited again.
Someone said something, holding a gun and a stick, and began to criticize some of the wrong things that Chen Xian’s family had in the past, and even started to name directly and said to Jiang Ruying: “Aunt, it’s not me that I said, you and my uncle didn’t treat our relatives as well before.
It's all."
"That's right, after being an official for so many years, no one in the family can get your weight."
"Last time I joined the army because of my child..."
These women no longer think about it. In fact, Chen Xian's son Chen Yufan is also an official in the city now. Because in their opinion, even Chen Xian can't count on him. This is not very familiar with him and has basically never returned to his hometown.
If you have a cousin, you can't count on it even more - anyway, Chen Xian's family can't help us.
It doesn't matter if this relative is broken.
Jiang Ruying smiled helplessly and said some apologetic words.
As a daughter-in-law, Zhou Yun couldn't say anything. But how could Chen Yufang stand her temper? She immediately gave a strong rebuttal. Her natural arrogance and temperament under the influence of her family environment really had a bit of a queen-like appearance.
But it is obvious that rural women do not eat this...
Fortunately, the host, Hao Jinfeng, was in charge, and quickly stopped the debate between the two sides. Otherwise, the whole family would have to make a big fuss at the dinner table.
Because the doors of all rooms were open, the men in the lobby heard a little dispute between the women in the inner room, and naturally, the men in the outside hall.
But, pretending not to hear it.
Su Chunfeng is eighteen years old, and more of the reason is that he is particularly well-off at home, so he is fortunate to be called by his uncle and a group of elders and sit at the tables of a group of men.
On this table, except for two cousins, two cousins, four cousins, and their own younger brother Su Chunyu, all sat on the table in the inner room.
He also heard the dispute between the women in the house.
Although the old men pretended not to hear it at the table, Su Chunfeng could see that the atmosphere was still awkward. Especially Chen Xian, although the face was calm, his eyes were revealed.
With a clear look of guilt and helplessness, he drank a glass of muffled wine without a sound.
Chen Yufan's expression was a little gloomy and terrifying, but after Chen Xian glanced lightly, he smiled bitterly and shook his head without saying a word.
When Su Chunfeng's eyes fell on his father's slightly displeased face, he saw a little worry in his father's eyes. Then he turned his head and looked into the inner room, and there seemed to be a hint of worry on his mother's face.
So Su Chunfeng suddenly understood what was the slightest indescribable worry in his heart before.
At the same time, he also knew that his parents, like himself, began to have this kind of worry - your family is the richest, the best conditions, and the best way. So good, no matter how far or near the family or relatives are, no matter how peaceful the past is, the past and the past are in peace.
How are you doing? You have to help you. If you help one, you have to help the other. If you can help, you have to help. If you can’t help, that’s your problem—“I look down on others”.
"I forgot to kiss you if you have the ability", "I can't do my best", "I don't know if there are two bad money"... and so on, all kinds of hats will be put on your head.
This is reality!
The women and children finished their meal quickly, and then they could talk to each other, so they naturally sat in a room.
Jiang Ruying, Zhou Yun, Chen Yufang, and Chen Yufan, who was not drunk because he was driving and was in a bad mood, took the child to the room on the east side.
