After the two women entered the kitchen, the eldest brother explained, "Xiaodong, your sister-in-law is like that, she speaks her mind straight, so don't take it to heart."
Zhao Dong was ashamed, "Brother, where did you say you went?"
In fact, he himself felt a little embarrassed about this.
His mother has doted on him since he was a child. If there is any delicious food or fun things at home, he can usually get them, and his eldest brother will not compete with him.
The same was true when the two brothers grew up. At that time, the family was in difficulty. In order for him to successfully complete his studies, his mother asked the eldest brother to drop out of school early and work, and the eldest brother agreed without saying a word.
Because he has no education, it is difficult to find a good job, and his mother is not willing to ask for help, so the eldest brother has not had a good life these years.
In Zhao Dong's impression, the only time his mother asked for help was because of his service as a soldier.
His enlistment quota was squeezed out by a soldier who was a relative of the leader's family, and his mother stayed up all night.
At that time, there was a wine cabinet at home, which contained treasures collected by his father when he was still alive. The two brothers were not allowed to touch it.
That day, his mother took out two bottles of wine for the first time. As a result, the matter of his enlistment in the army was resolved the next day.
Although the mother never explained afterwards, both brothers understood that the mother opened her mouth and asked for help.
It is true that he owes his mother, but if he talks about debt, Zhao Dong feels that the one who owes the most is his eldest brother.
However, the eldest brother has never complained because of these things. It can be said that apart from his mother, the eldest brother is the person he respects the most.
Therefore, no matter what happens to his sister-in-law, Zhao Dong will not take it seriously.
What's more, he also understands that his sister-in-law is not a bad person, but she is a bit quick to talk.
It doesn't matter in big matters. Once someone bullies someone, he will definitely help his brother-in-law.
But he likes to fuss over small things, but there is no malice.
Over the years, Zhao Dong has always had a regret, not having the ability or ability to properly compensate his eldest brother and sister-in-law.
The eldest brother was in a good mood and patted him on the shoulder, "Come on, it's hard to come back today. Come and have a drink with me!"
Zhao Dong agreed, "Okay!"
The food was quickly served, and the two brothers exchanged cups.
During the dinner, my sister-in-law suddenly opened her mouth, "Mom, I want to tell you something."
Mother Zhao said tepidly: "You say."
The elder brother coughed.
The sister-in-law pretended not to hear and continued: "In a few months, Xiaoman will take the junior high school entrance examination."
Hearing his sister-in-law mention Xiaoman, Zhao Dong also cheered up a bit.
This nephew is very much like him when he was a child. He was naughty, didn't like to study, and made mischief all day long. He was failed in school.
However, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are very strict with him, so they have a good relationship.
Whenever he comes to the school to find parents and gets criticized, if he is at home, Xiaoman will definitely look to him to deal with it.
The last time Sophie came over, Zhao Dong wanted to introduce him to her, but it turned out that the boy ran off to the wild somewhere and didn't show up.
Mother Zhao frowned, "Is it possible that he still can't pass the junior high school entrance examination?"
My sister-in-law gets a headache when she mentions her son, otherwise she would not open her mouth like this, "Mom, as you know, Xiaoman has liked sports since he was a child. Now there is a quota for sports students in the school. This opportunity is rare!"
