Zhang Zhong and the others had been chatting in the living room for about an hour, when his door was knocked again. "It should be your uncle and uncle who are here." Hu Guangquan glanced in the direction of the door.
"Well, it should be."
Hu Guangquan guessed correctly, it was Zhang Zhong's uncle and his companions who came.
"Xiao Zhong, please open the door."
"Have the in-laws come over?"
"Congratulations."
As soon as Zhang Zhong opened the door, there was a sudden bustle outside. The uncle and his family seemed to have been trained, saying hello to Zhang Zhong without repeating each sentence.
"It's cold outside, let's go in and talk." Zhang Zhong smiled and nodded to them.
In the past, they would probably have been unhappy when they saw Zhang Zhong looking so ordinary, and would even complain to Zhang Zhong's parents intentionally or unintentionally, saying that Zhang Zhong was ignorant and didn't know how to shout when meeting people.
But now they are not angry, they are all very happy, and they also greet Zhang Zhong.
Several people in the kitchen also came out to say hello, and Zhang Zhong's two aunts hurriedly ran into the kitchen to ask for help.
"Huifang, there are a lot of people today, so you may be too busy. Let's help."
"Yes, sister-in-law, we can't help you because your food is delicious, but we can still help here. If there are any dishes that haven't been chosen or washed, we can just come."
Hu Huifang held a handful of leeks in her hand, without looking back, she glanced at her sister-in-law with a half-smile, and then said: "The visitor is a guest, why do you need help? Go to the living room and let Zhang Zhong brew it for you."
A cup of tea, then sit and chat and eat melon seeds."
Yang Xiuzhi also smiled and said: "Aunt Zhang Zhong, go and sit down. The kitchen is not big, so we can be here."
The two of them looked at each other, and then Aunt Zhang nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, just call us if you have anything."
"Yeah, just call us if you have anything, and we'll treat it as if it's our own home."
"Well, just treat it as your own home."
After the two of them left, Hu Huifang burst into laughter, "Zhang Xingjun and I have never seen them like this in so many years of marriage. Otherwise, I wouldn't want to do it at home. It would be noisy and there would be a lot of things. If you were to come,
If you are busy, you will be happy, but if you are busy, you will be tired."
Yang Xiuzhi said with a smile, "This is a good thing. At least you are not as angry as before. What else can you be unhappy about? You just need to talk to them about what they say. Your Zhang Xingjun is an honest person. You are making trouble here."
, he must be feeling uncomfortable as well."
Hu Huifang nodded, "You can think of it this way. Sometimes I think about it, people are really realistic. Their attitude towards our family is divided into several stages. At the beginning, our families were in similar situations, and they secretly wanted to compare with us.
It didn't look like anything. Later, Zhang Zhong went to the hospital, and they couldn't hide from us, for fear that we would ask them to borrow money. We didn't ask them to borrow money until Zhang Zhong woke up, but the family was also poor at that time, and during that time they followed him.
The one we contacted the most pretended to care about this and that. Later, when they found out that my family Zhang Zhong had made some money, their mentality was a bit unbalanced. They also acted strangely when talking to me. They also said that writing is unstable and purely depends on luck, and Zhang Zhong said
I studied computer science before, but now I am not reliable in writing. Later, when I saw that Zhang Zhong was really earning a lot, those weird words disappeared, and he started to fawn over again. You saw it just now, and I hate seeing them like this the most."
When Yang Xiuzhi heard Hu Huifang complaining about her two sisters-in-law, she sighed silently. During those years when Zhang Zhong was in the hospital, her sister-in-law's family had indeed had a difficult time.
When my husband saw that his sister-in-law's family was in trouble, he squeezed out 100,000 yuan from the family to give to Hu Huifang and others, but Hu Huifang and others did not take it.
The reason why she didn't ask for it was because Hu Huifang knew that her brother's family was also financially strapped. Hu Shijie was still in college at the time. They had just contracted a large area of farmland and needed money everywhere.
Moreover, the Zhang family did not borrow any money at that time. Apart from taking some money from Aunt Wu's house, they had no external debts, so it had not reached that stage yet.
If Zhang Zhong woke up a little later, he might have borrowed the 100,000 yuan.
However, although Hu Huifang did not ask for money, Hu Guangquan and the others always helped whenever they could in those years. They would send batches of chicken, duck, and fish eggs to the city every once in a while.
So later on, Hu Huifang and others were always grateful to Hu Guangquan and others, and they always wanted to repay them.
Because Zhang Zhong had made a lot of money, Hu Huifang mentioned to Hu Guangquan and Yang Xiuzhi that she would buy them a house in Jiangyang and let them settle in the city.
However, Hu Guangquan did not agree. In the past few years, they had been farming and growing peaches in the countryside. Although they were a little tired every year, they could still earn about 200,000 yuan. On average, the two of them were comparable to white-collar workers in the city.
They didn't want to come to the city themselves, but they thought about helping Hu Shijie come to the city, but even if they wanted to get Hu Shijie to come to the city, they wouldn't let Zhang Zhong help. Their own money was more than enough to pay Hu Shijie a down payment.
.
But now that Hu Shijie has gone to Shanghai and intends to settle in Shanghai, the matter of buying a house in Jiangyang has been put on hold.
…
Zhang Zhong poured tea for the guests in the living room, and glanced towards the kitchen. After the two aunts came out, he picked up two cups of tea with a smile and walked over, "Auntie, second aunt, drink tea."
His two aunts were somewhat flattered and served the tea, "We can just drink the tea ourselves, why do you need to do anything about it?"
"That's right." Zhang Zhong smiled. He heard everything they said in the kitchen just now.
You can't hear it even if you don't want to. The kitchen is connected to the living room, and the door is wide open. The two people's voices are not quiet at all, as if they want to be heard. Not to mention Zhang Zhong, in the living room
Everyone else heard what they said.
To them, it was not real concern, but a performance.
Zhang Zhong understood in his heart, but it didn't matter. As long as they didn't make his parents angry, he could accept even this disgusting performance.
Adults like them were not the only ones here, there were more than a dozen people from both families.
Pengpeng was still building a snowman outside, but because three children came, she put down the snowman and ran into the house to take a few children to the game room.
It wasn't until 11 o'clock at noon that Xu Yuhan and others came over.
There are more people in Xu Yuhan's family, mainly because there are more people in Cao Ruixia's natal family.
Cao Ruixia's hometown is in a neighboring city, and Xu Yuhan rarely goes back. Zhang Zhong has never been there with her, so Zhang Zhong doesn't know anyone there.
