During this period, Ruan Xiuqin, who had a junior high school education, stopped nearby for a while. Later, she felt embarrassed after seeing some clips, so she walked out with a blushing face.

evening.

Zhang Xuan's eldest sister Zhang Ping came to deliver food.

Looking at this eldest sister who had a face as beautiful as a flower but had not graduated from elementary school, Zhang Xuan felt very sorry for her.

In his previous life, two years after he graduated from college and started working, he received a call from his eldest sister. After going around for a long time, he said that her wooden house was burned down by fire and she was planning to build a new red brick house. She asked him to borrow 8,000 yuan.

At that time, he was living on a monthly basis, so how could he borrow 8,000 yuan?

Recalling the long silence before the eldest sister hung up the phone, Zhang Xuan felt that it was quite uncomfortable. He had studied well but could not help his family. It was so useless.

The rice is sweet potato rice, and the vegetables are stir-fried lettuce leaves, plus poached eggs.

Knowing that her son didn't like sweet potatoes, Ruan Xiuqin scooped all the floating sweet potato dices into her own bowl before sharing the meal, and gave him the remaining white rice.

Zhang Xuan watched all this silently, without resisting. He picked up the bowl and started eating. However, when the food was in his mouth, he felt very sad. Tears could not stop rolling in his eyes, and he really wanted to cry.

Halfway through the meal, Ruan Xiuqin remembered something. She took a bowl and walked to the window to look down. Finally, she stared at the plasterer squatting on the edge of the flower bed and asked, Did Yang Ende send you here?

Yeah. Zhang Ping was a little shy, but still responded in a low voice.

When he heard that Yang Ende had brought it and saw the shy look on his eldest sister's face, Zhang Xuan immediately felt that the food was no longer tasty.

Although Yang Ende looks ordinary, he is tall, hard-working, not lazy, good at muddy work, has a very tolerant temper, never loses his temper, has no bad habits, and does not spend money recklessly. This is his advantage.

But this man is a filial son, and a foolish filial son. He is completely obedient and obedient to his quarrelsome and mean mother.

In the previous life, the eldest sister was married and lived well for the first three years. But after the first and second children were girls, the situation was different.

That Bo Liang's mother-in-law picks on the eldest sister every day, and the eldest sister is a bully who won't talk back when she's wronged, so she just hides and cries. When I cried a lot, I would sometimes curse the old witch in my heart to die early and live a better life. But the old witch lived past 95 and forced the eldest sister to turn her head full of white hair and die in front of her.

Because of this, Ruan Xiuqin often quarreled with her mother-in-law.

And where was Yang Ende at this time?

He became an invisible man, helping no one or mediating. He only did one thing quietly, listened to his mother's words and controlled the family's financial power, and then, like a beggar, he gave his eldest sister five or ten yuan for living expenses every month to buy meat and go to the market.

He came to the window in a few steps and found the figure smoking cigarettes. Zhang Xuan almost jumped up, grandma is such a bear!

I was fooled by you in my last life, but you dare to come out like a toad in this life!

See if I don’t ruin your dream!

After finishing dinner calmly, I watched Cow Dung ride away on a large pole carrying flowers.

Zhang Xuan asked: Mom, are you really planning to betroth your eldest sister to Yang Ende?

Ruan Xiuqin sat on the edge of the bed, unexpectedly glanced at his son who had never been involved in this matter before, raised his head and asked, You don't seem to like him?

Zhang Xuanzhi nodded: There are so many matchmakers in the village for my sister, why did you fall in love with the ordinary Yang Ende?

Ruan Xiuqin thought for a while and said: Actually, I prefer Ouyang Yong from the third production team. This guy is smart, good-looking, and has a good family background. The whole family is quite satisfied with your sister.

It's just that your eldest sister hasn't been very smart since she was a child, and her head was hit by a truck, so she's not as good as before.

Speaking of this, Ruan Xiuqin paused and continued: I'm afraid that your sister is stupid and follows Ouyang Yong. If she can't guard him in the future, it will be in vain. But Yang Ende is different, although their family is well-known in the village. He is stingy, but he is down-to-earth and hard-working, and he is a person who lives a real life.

Speaking of the eldest sister being stupid, Zhang Xuan didn't know how to refute it.

Because this sister is really stupid in studying, not to mention she failed a grade in fifth grade. The teachers did not allow her to take the entrance examination from elementary school to junior high school, and left her in the classroom to guard the entrance. They were worried that her single-digit score would lower the average score and affect the school's ranking.

At this point, Ruan Xiuqin has been racking her brains for more than ten years, and she still hasn't figured it out: Why are the second and third children so smart? Is the boss so completely different?

Sometimes Ruan Xiuqin can't help but wonder, did the second and third sons just follow her? Did the eldest son inherit his genes from his husband?

But when it comes to Ouyang Yong, Zhang Xuan's memory comes to mind immediately. This man followed the trend of his village head father, who likes to wear mousse, white shirts, trousers and leather shoes. He pays more attention to self-grooming. In these days, it is not false to look like a romantic child.

But you really can’t look at people by their appearance. He used his lifetime actions to slap the villagers in the face, proving what it means to be a doting wife maniac and what it means to be a good man. His wife is not as good as Zhang Ping in every aspect.

Instead of arguing with Ruan Xiuqin, Zhang Xuanjing asked again after a while: You always like Zhongyang Ende, but you are actually hoping that he can help the family with farm work in the future, right?

Seeing that her son had correctly guessed her Xiao Jiujiu, Ruan Xiuqin did not refute, but said in a low voice: I am not in good health and can't do heavy work. You will go out to study in the future. Your second sister hates me for not sending her to repeat her studies. I don't know if it will happen. I will be back. The farmland at home cannot be left unused and we need someone to do farm work.

Come on, expecting Yang Ende to help you with farm work is better than expecting a sow to climb a tree. Zhang Xuan complained secretly, but did not say it out loud.

Because he couldn't tell her what would happen in the next few decades.

Moreover, my mother has struggled for food and clothing in a rural area at the bottom of society for decades. Some of her experiences and ideas are limited to this era. We cannot blame her, and we cannot change her mentally.

At about 6:30 in the evening, the doctor came to check the ward. After checking Zhang Xuan's condition, he said to Ruan Xiuqin: He is recovering well. He can be discharged after two days of observation.

This was really great news. Ruan Xiuqin breathed a sigh of relief and quickly expressed his gratitude.

Instead, Zhang Xuan asked: Doctor, can I be discharged from the hospital tomorrow? I haven't taken a shower for several days.

The doctor was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes swept back and forth between the two of them, as if he understood Zhang Xuan's thoughts, save money. Hospitalization is too expensive.

There was no need to embarrass anyone. The kind-hearted doctor could understand their suffering, so he pondered for a while and said, It's not impossible. But you still have to come to the hospital tomorrow and the day after tomorrow to let me see the situation. You can take the remaining medicine back to the village. Get a fight, and if you feel unwell, come to the hospital in time, don’t leave it to others.”

Hey, okay. Zhang Xuan had long wanted to leave the hospital, but due to his mother's concern and stubbornness, he didn't force himself. Now the doctor was relieved and felt much happier.

After hearing that her son had reached an agreement with the doctor on his own initiative, Ruan Xiuqin opened his mouth, but in the end he said nothing. My family owes a lot of debt, so I can save whatever money I can.

That night, Zhang Xuan continued to write articles for other urban newspapers.

Ruan Xiuqin carefully packed her things to prepare for discharge from the hospital tomorrow.

One night passed, God changed his face, the sunny sky disappeared, the wind blew, and it started to rain and snow.

Snowflakes were falling densely from the sky, and the ground was covered with layer after layer.

For breakfast, they ate some cold noodles and steamed buns with pickled vegetables. After finishing their work in a hurry, the mother and son left the hospital after the operation.

The things are not valuable, but they are numerous, complicated and annoying. Zhang Xuan felt like a beekeeper at this moment, with buckets, quilts, and hot water bottles hanging all over his body like bees.

I feel melancholy even when I walk.

Ruan Xiuqin, who didn't seem to see her son's hard work and who was also helpless, stretched her head and looked at the way she came. She didn't see Zhang Ping or the tall Yang Ende, so she sighed immediately.

Ruan Xiuqin reproached herself and said: I shouldn't have saved the money for the phone call last night. It would be nice to call your sister to pick you up. Your sister's skin is thicker and more durable.

Mom, this preference is a bit too much. Zhang Xuan smiled speechlessly and said, It's okay, I can handle it.

The original plan was to go to the post office to redeem the remittance order first, but the two of them couldn't go in this situation, so they had to give up.

As the New Year approaches, more and more people go to the market on the streets, and more people buy and sell New Year's goods. The sound of selling one after another was very lively.
