After the two women entered the kitchen, the eldest brother explained, "Xiaodong, your sister-in-law is just like that, she is straightforward, don't take it to heart."
Zhao Dong was ashamed, "Brother, where did you say you went?"
In fact, he felt a little embarrassed about this.
My mother has been very fond of him since she was a child. She can basically come with him if there are any delicious food or fun things at home, and her elder brother will not compete with him.
The same was true when the brothers grew up. At that time, the family was in trouble. In order to help him complete his studies smoothly, his mother asked his elder brother to drop out of school early, and the elder brother agreed without saying a word.
Because I don’t have an education, it’s difficult to find a good job, but my mother is unwilling to ask for help, so my elder brother has not been in good health over the years.
In Zhao Dong's impression, the only time his mother asked for help seemed to be because of his military service.
His enlistment quota was squeezed out by a relative soldier from a leader's family, and his mother stayed up all night.
At that time, there was a wine cabinet at home, which contained treasures treasured by my father when he was alive, and the two brothers were not allowed to touch each other.
That day, my mother took out two bottles of wine for the first time, but the next day, the matter of joining the army was resolved.
Although my mother never explained it afterwards, both brothers understood that my mother opened her mouth and begged someone.
It is true that I owe my mother, but if I owe it, Zhao Dong feels that the one who owe the most is the eldest brother.
But my elder brother has never complained about these things. It can be said that besides my mother, my elder brother is the person he respects the most.
So, no matter how my sister-in-law is, Zhao Dong will not take it to heart.
What's more, he also understood that his sister-in-law was not bad, but she was a little quick-talking.
There is nothing to do with big things. Once you are bullied, you will definitely help him, your brother-in-law.
But I like to be petty in trivial matters, but I have no malicious intentions.
Over the years, Zhao Dong has always had a regret that he has no ability and no ability to compensate his elder brother and sister-in-law.
The eldest brother was in a good mood and patted his shoulder, "Come on, I finally came back today, I'll have a good drink with me!"
Zhao Dong agreed, "Okay!"
The food was served quickly, and the two brothers exchanged cups.
During the meal, my sister-in-law suddenly opened her mouth, "Mom, I want to tell you something."
Mama Zhao said tepidly: "You said."
The eldest brother coughed.
The eldest sister-in-law pretended not to hear it and continued, "In a few months, Xiaoman will be going to take the junior high school entrance exam."
When Zhao Dong heard his sister-in-law mention Xiaoman, he also cheered up a little.
This nephew looks very similar to when he was a child, he was naughty, didn't like to study, was naughty all day long, and he had a chance to register at school.
But the eldest brother and sister-in-law were very strict with him, so the relationship between them was very good.
If you are looking for parents at the school and are criticized and confronted, Xiaoman will definitely ask him to deal with it if he is at home.
The last time Sophie came over, Zhao Dong wanted to introduce her, but the boy didn't know where to go to the wild, and he didn't see him.
Mother Zhao frowned, "Can he not be able to get into junior high school?"
My sister-in-law had a headache when she mentioned her son, otherwise she wouldn't have opened her mouth. "Mom, you also know that Xiaoman has loved sports since she was a child. Now there are places for sports students to be admitted to in school, so this opportunity is rare!"
"Recommended?"
"That's right, with that quota, you can be admitted to the No. 48 Middle School! Our Jiangbei District is just such a key school that can be taken advantage of. If Xiaoman takes the exam, he will be so exhausted that he won't be able to get in!"
"Then Isn't it enough to apply directly? Does Xiaoman meet the requirements?"
Zhao Dong also found it strange that Xiaoman's sports performance was great, especially table tennis. He also won the junior group championship in the competition held in Jiangbei District.
If there is really such a quota, he will definitely meet the requirements.
My sister-in-law was embarrassed, "Hey, now those parents are scrambling to get that quota."
Mother Zhao simply put down the bowl and chopsticks, "You just say it."
The eldest sister-in-law ignored the elder brother's eyes and said, "Mom, if I can apply, I won't talk to you! This quota is limited. I will definitely be able to choose under our Xiaoman's conditions, but those who have entrusted their relationship with me
The parents squeezed out..."
Mother Zhao didn't speak, waiting for her next sentence.
The eldest sister-in-law continued: "Mom, I heard from the boss that you know friends at the Education Bureau of Jiangbei District. Can you..."
"Needless to say, I won't open my mouth."
The sister-in-law was stunned, "Why?"
"So, as you say, those children who fail to get into the 48 Middle School will not need to study?"
"But……"
"Nothing, but Xiaoman can get into the 48 Middle School, which is his ability! If he learns to get something for nothing since he is a child, what future will he have in the future?"
My sister-in-law rarely refutes her mother's meaning. This time she rarely opens her mouth, "Mom, what you said is right, but we can't let him lose at the starting line!"
Zhao's mother did not agree, "If you can't go to Forty-eighth Middle School, you will lose at the starting line? I don't think so! Xiaodong has never been a key player, and he still became a soldier and defended his country. Where did he lose at the starting line?"
The eldest sister-in-law turned her head and said, "I don't care. Anyway, I don't want Xiaoman to be like his father in the future!"
Zhao's mother's voice became colder, "His dad, tell me what's wrong with his dad?"
The eldest brother was about to interrupt, but he was still half a step slower.
I heard my sister-in-law say aggrievedly: "His father suffered a loss of uneducation. When he didn't graduate from high school, his leader looked down on him! This time, he obviously met the requirements and everything was better than others.
Just got swept down!"
The eldest brother looked unhappy, "Why are you mentioning this? After eating, hurry up!"
Mother Zhao interrupted, "You ask her to sit down and say whatever you want to say!"
My sister-in-law was red with her eyes, "I just feel that you are biased. If this is Xiaodong's business, you will definitely do it immediately. It's our turn, please don't even ask!"
After hearing this, Zhao's mother slapped the table hard.
Zhao Dong was stunned. It was rare to see his mother get so angry. He hurriedly stepped forward and persuaded him, "Mom, don't be angry, sister-in-law doesn't mean that."
The eldest brother also stared at the side, "What are you looking at? My mother is sick, why don't you apologize to her quickly?"
The eldest sister-in-law realized that her tone was too heavy and hurriedly admitted her mistake, "Mom, I'm sorry, I..."
Zhao's mother breathed a sigh of relief, "Xiaodong is young, and the boss should give in to him, and no one can tell me! As for the boss who can't become a cadre, that's his own reason. Don't make so many excuses! And
, I don’t feel embarrassed to be a worker!”
My sister-in-law was full of grievances and couldn't say it, but she couldn't refute it, so she simply stopped talking.
Zhao Dong is in an awkward situation and it is difficult to open his mouth.
The eldest brother continued to advise, "Mom, don't be angry."
Mother Zhao nodded and then signaled: "You two happen to be here. Let me tell you something, boss, come out later on, I'm going to move here."
My sister-in-law was stunned. My mother had been living with Xiaodong, so why did she suddenly move here?
