The two groups of people who were once the closest but were now strangers suddenly met each other. They were both stunned on the spot. For a moment, they were speechless even though they were separated by a few steps.
Li Xiaoyan was so uneasy that she didn't react when someone came towards her. It wasn't until her mother and grandmother suddenly stopped that she realized that the people opposite were the Zhou family.
Her eyes were panicked and she didn't dare to look at Grandma Zhou. When her eyes glanced over to Zhou Tianming, her gaze suddenly froze. The little baby Zhou Tianming was holding was wearing a beautiful pink retro dress and had two little knots on his head.
, fair and cute.
Judging from the material and style of Xiao Yazai's clothes, you can tell that they were given by Le Yun.
Needless to say, Li Xiaoyan also knew that the person Zhou Tianming was holding was his stepsister, and something called "resentment" suddenly came out.
When her mother married Zhou Xialong, Le Yun never gave her any gifts or clothes or jewelry. When it was Zhou Xialong's turn to marry a third wife, Le Yun borrowed a car and gave her clothes.
She is also a stepsister, Zhou Tianming is lukewarm towards her, but he is very protective of his stepsister.
Hate, Li Xiaoyan hates Le Yun for being partial, hates Zhou Tianming for being partial, the Le family looks down on her, the Zhou family also looks down on her, there is no good person in the Le family and Zhou family!
Feeling resentful in her heart, she glared at the Zhou family's grandparents and grandchildren, pulled her mother away and left.
Zhou Tianming was slightly dazzled when he saw the three members of the Li family. He roughly guessed why they came. Judging from their appearance, they probably didn't get what they wanted.
He was still thinking about saying hello, but he didn't want to be glared at by Li Xiaoyan, so he simply pretended that he didn't know the three members of the Li family. He moved the hand holding the umbrella behind his grandma, held her shoulders and continued walking on his own way.
Grandma Zhou was shaken when she first saw Granny Li's family of three. When she turned to look at them seriously, she was shocked when she saw the dark and thin Mrs. Meng.
But in just two years, Meng Lili has aged like this!
When Meng Lili first married into the Zhou family, although her face and hands had rough skin due to years of hard work, she was only slightly older than women of the same age in the same village.
After staying in the Zhou family for several months, Lele and Qiu Feng often sent medicinal meals to their family because of the good food. Meng Lili also had enough to satisfy her appetite. After being raised in the Zhou family for several months, everyone could tell.
She is obviously fatter and whiter.
Looking now, Meng looks more than 20 years older than before. He is so thin that he is almost out of shape, his face is pale and bluish, and his hair is dry. His whole body is like autumn grass in November, so fragile that it seems that it will fall apart if touched.
Broken look.
Seeing Meng Lili's appearance, Grandma Zhou felt mixed emotions in her heart. Meng Lili had a hard life in the second half of her life and she couldn't blame anyone else. She only blamed her for doting on her children and was ultimately dragged down by them.
While the old man was still sighing, the person opposite moved forward. She was helped by her grandson and continued to move forward.
Six people from the two families passed each other a few steps apart and went their separate ways.
After missing the Li family, Grandma Zhou couldn't help but look back at the backs of the Li family's grandparents and sighed: "Oh-"
Hearing grandma sigh, Zhou Tianming asked: "Grandma, don't you think you feel pity for someone when you see her, and your sympathy is overflowing?"
"No," Grandma Zhou turned back and glared at her grandson: "Do you think I am a person who can't handle things clearly? You and Lele often say that poor people must be hateful. Although she is pitiful, she has ended up in this situation.
It is also their own fault and they cannot blame others."
"Yeah, yeah, grandma, you are a wise old man. You are always the most sober person in the village." Zhou Tianming agreed with a smile. If his grandma was not clear about things, she would definitely not agree to his father's divorce, and she would divorce him again and again.
Divorced twice.
"Glib talk." Grandson said sweetly, and Grandma Zhou laughed and scolded her. She was very happy in her heart. Fortunately, she learned a lot from Le Hong and Chen Hongying and was able to handle things clearly. Otherwise, she would not be able to live as leisurely as she does now.
Cao Bingyue didn't understand what Grandma Zhou and her eldest brother were talking about, but she was sensible and didn't interrupt when adults were talking.
Grandma Zhou had a few words with her grandson, then stopped caring about the affairs of Mrs. Meng's family, and asked her grandson naggingly what preparations she needed to make when going abroad.
Aunt Meng, who was being dragged by her daughter, heard Grandma Zhou sighing. She thought that Grandma Zhou would take pity on her because she was so ill, and would help her say a few good words to Leyun. Who knows that what she heard was Zhou's sigh.
Grandma said that her current fate was her own fault.
Everyone said it was her fault. What kind of sin did she commit?
Apart from loving her children, she was reluctant to beat and scold her children when they made mistakes and did not use sticks to educate her. What else did she do wrong?
Meng's wife didn't understand why everyone thought it was all her and Xiaoyan's fault. Whose child didn't make mistakes? Xiaoyan made a mistake, but she already knew it was wrong, so why didn't she give Xiaoyan a chance to correct it?
Granny Li bumped into Grandma Zhou and her grandson. She was even more flustered and just wanted to leave quickly, so she walked very fast.
Li Xiaoyan didn't want to be seen by the people in Meicun, so she pulled her mother away quickly.
The three of them walked out of Plum Village and did not stay on the street. They quickly called for a trip to Samsara Village.
When Grandma Zhou, grandma and grandson returned home, they put down their things. Zhou Tianming washed his face and went to his aunt's house to help. Grandma Zhou took Cao Bingyue at home.
Young Chao Jiamei and his friends watched the three Li family members go away, and greeted a group of young college entrance examination students and their parents back to Le's house to sit around.
When Zhou Tianming arrived at Lejia, he wanted to help in the kitchen. Since he was not needed to run errands for the time being, he greeted the college entrance examination students and chatted with the top students for a few words. He also asked the top students whether the Li family's ancestors and grandchildren had come to Lejia.
"Here we come." The top students said calmly.
"Come on, come on, Li Xiaoyan's mother is so shameless, she kneels down as soon as she comes..."
The beautiful boy and his friends didn't say anything, but a group of college entrance examination students couldn't sit still and angrily scolded Li Xiaoyan's family. Everyone, one by one, described what the three generations of the Li family were doing.
Zhou Tianming was also shocked by Meng's sister-in-law's operation. As soon as Meng's sister-in-law came, she knelt down to Uncle Man?
The persimmon is too soft to pinch, did that woman deliberately kneel down to Uncle Man and force him to be her gunman because he was the village chief?
That woman still wants to hit the wall?
Zhou Tianming broke out in a cold sweat after hearing this. He did not doubt that Mr. Chao and others were talking nonsense. He believed that people like Mrs. Meng were capable of deceiving people to death.
Li Xiaoyan and Granny Li are both selfish egoists. With Meng's doting temperament, she is not much better. She won't live for a few years if she gets cancer. If she dies in Lejia, she can cheat Leyun once.
Le Yun left a sum of compensation to her daughter, and she would definitely be willing to sacrifice her life for it.
People should not be judged by their appearance, and Mrs. Meng's face does not look like a treacherous and evil person. Who would have thought that she had such a dark and sinister mind.
Zhou Tianming shuddered a few times, and also gave himself a warning in his heart. Whether he is making friends or looking for a girlfriend in the future, he must open his eyes wide and understand carefully, otherwise he will not dare to have deep friendships for fear of
Being cheated.
Because the ancestors and grandsons of the Li family were mentioned again, Li Shaoluo, Shaohe Xiaoshi and others took the opportunity to teach the college entrance examination students some experience in making friends and knowing people.
Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading.
A group of young people also listened attentively to the guidance of top academics and benefited greatly from it. When they went to college and entered society, they avoided many detours.
Because the guest was an impromptu visitor, lunch was not served until 12:30. There was only so little time and there was no time to cook too many dishes. I only made steamed pork with rice flour, pork belly with dried plums, stewed pork trotters and ribs, and lotus leaf chicken.
Le's father Zhou Qiufeng greeted the guests with two medicinal dishes, one braised pork head and one smoked fish, without wronging the leaders and parents.
After lunch, the beautiful boy, on behalf of Xiaotuanzi, distributed red envelopes to a group of college entrance examination students from No. 3 Middle School who had pooled their money to buy thank-you gifts, one for each person.
After dinner, the school leaders and parents of No. 3 Middle School chatted at Lejia for another hour before saying goodbye.
The leaders of the County Education Bureau and the Municipal Education Bureau did not act together with the teachers and students of the No. 3 Middle School. They stayed behind and waited for the leaders of the No. 3 Middle School to bring the parents of the students. The students left and invited Mr. and Mrs. Le Jia, Chao Shao and
The old man and the old lady sat down and explained that they had asked Miss Le for permission to use the question book she gave to No. 3 Middle School as a high school reference material.
Le's father, Zhou Qiufeng, has one idea: they can't make the decision regarding their children. As long as the children agree, they don't have any opinions.
What I mean is: You can talk to my little cotton-padded jacket directly, it’s useless to talk to us.
Mr. Chao, Professor Wan Qi, said: "Little Lele/primary school student has her own opinions, and we old bones never give us any advice on her decisions."
The leaders had no choice but to ask Brother Chao for help.
The beautiful young man smiled elegantly: "If you want to use the test question set produced by my little dumpling as a reference for the college entrance examination, it will be universal. Based on my understanding of my little dumpling, I guess she won't be happy.
The test questions she gave to the No. 3 Middle School are only for daily testing. Whether you can pass the college entrance examination depends entirely on the luck of the candidates. If it is used as a formal reference material, if someone else buys the materials and works hard for it and fails to pass the test, the candidates will be
Put the responsibility on my sister, saying that she misled others, and then she will become the one who takes the blame."
"It's impossible." The leaders immediately explained: "There are thousands of reference materials for the college entrance examination. In recent years, no one has ever asked the person who produced the reference materials to take responsibility for buying reference materials and studying for it but failing to pass the college entrance examination. After all, the reference materials are just
It is for reference and study, and it is not a required material for exams.”
"This is the truth, but there are always selfish people who are unwilling to take responsibility and will only pass the responsibility to others. Of course, it may be that I judge a gentleman with a villain's heart.
The one who can really make the decision is my sister. Let’s do this. When my sister is finished with her affairs, I will tell her and if she is willing, I will reply to the leaders. If she is not willing, there will be no news.”
"Thank you, Mr. Chao." The leaders were overjoyed and asked them to talk to Ms. Le in person. They really didn't know how to impress her. If Mr. Chao was willing to help pull the strings, that would be great.
After the important things were settled, the leaders hurriedly left after sitting for another ten minutes. They did not go back to the county or city immediately, but instead went to Jiudao Junior High School for inspection.
