Four people came out of Zhang Yanming's office and entered the reception room on the side.

Zhang Yanming went over and brought a box of milk for Zhang's mother and two big babies, and asked, "What's the matter? It's mysterious."

Ma Zhang thought for a while and said, "Do you still remember your aunt?"

Zhang Yanming was stunned for a moment before reacting and nodded: "Ah, remember, what's wrong?"

The aunt Zhang’s mother is talking about is not Zhang Yanming’s biological aunt, and Zhang’s mother has no sisters.

Zhang Yanming's grandmother changed her marriage. This aunt was a relative of the grandfather's family later, a relative, not a child.

However, when Zhang Ma was young, the two of them got closer and they had a good relationship.

Zhang Yanming had a deep impression of this aunt. It turned out that there was always some movement between the two families at that time.

My aunt was a worker, and my uncle was the leader of the Gangcheng Chemical Factory. My family lived in a cadre building. At that time, the conditions in their family were much better than those of ordinary working families.

When Zhang Yanming was young, his family lived in a house in the factory. In my memory, my aunt often came from the city with her children, but my uncle had never come.

He is the leader, and he wants to be arrogant and says he is busy with work.

The three of them started to lively when they came to their homes, making dumplings was a must-have project. In that era when there was no food and clothing, it was like a holiday, so Zhang Yanming had a deep impression.

In fact, it doesn’t seem very far now. My aunt’s family lives in the city, and she has to take a commuter train or shuttle bus to Zhang Yanming’s house, which is 30 kilometers and 40 minutes’ drive.

However, in that era, thirty kilometers were already quite far away, and many people had never been so far in their lives.

Later, Zhang's mother started a small business and would often go to the city. The two families were like real relatives until Zhang Yanming started working.

In the 1990s, the tide of business hit the whole country, and people began to get busy, and their way of living was changing. Even if there was no major event between relatives, fewer and fewer people were moving around.

Later, everyone started to compete, and even relatives could not avoid it. Those who were rich were afraid of being borrowed money and those who were poor were afraid of being laughed at. Naturally, they were far away and tried not to get together.

Ma Zhang and aunt are not jealous of each other, but they are indeed moving less and less.

Zhang Yanming didn't expect that his mother would still have contact with his aunt's house now, and thought that the whole family would be broken after they moved out.

He was fine with his aunt, but he didn't have any good feelings for that uncle. He felt very scary when he was a child. When he grew up, he felt that he was very capable of pretending.

It turns out that I have a good relationship with my aunt’s two children, and I often play together when I was a child.

However, as everyone grows older, it is gradually going on. I still recognize my relatives, but I have fewer and fewer contacts, leaving only some memories. It is still beautiful.

After all, everyone has their own circle of life, and there is no intersection between circles. Adults actually live in a circle, and they don’t have time to be interested in things outside the circle.

"Your aunt called and said that her Lihua had divorced and left two children. The business there is not easy to do now, so she was worried."

It is not easy for my aunt’s sister to have a formal job and it is not easy for her to have a formal job outside the pass, and she will be looked down upon by most people. This is the social model outside the pass.

Since 1890, urban residents outside the pass have become workers. After several generations of people, everyone has become accustomed to this lifestyle and has developed this thinking pattern, that is, people have to go to work when they are alive.

The factory made the outside world glorious once, but it also bound the idea outside world from its root, making the place gradually closed and stubborn, and also made the people in this place cheerful, enthusiastic and hospitality. They were never xenophobic.

By the time Zhang Yanming and his generation grew up, more and more people had no jobs, because there were not so many jobs in the factory to provide unlimitedly, and succession has become history.

Boys are better, but girls are very difficult.

However, this has little impact on the entire society. It is a normal situation outside the customs. The low cost of living allows a worker to support his family easily.

But it is a deep-rooted thinking. When you say you don’t have a job, you always feel like you are one head lower than others.

My aunt's younger brother went to my uncle's factory. It was not considered a successor. He went to a technical school and was also considered a kind of care for the children of the factory. However, the family only had one place, so he gave it to his son.

At this moment, there are no technical schools that are designed to take care of their children. Not only chemical factories, but all factories and mines have cancelled the technical schools in the mid-1990s.

My aunt's daughter is actually a few months younger than Zhang Yanming and she was born in the same year.

This child has had ideas and is stubborn since he was a child. When he grew up, he happened to catch up with the business outbreak in the early 1990s. He went to work as a self-employed person who was still disliked at that time.

I also made a lot of money in those years, but later I decided to make the decision regardless of family opposition and got married.

"Mom, what do you mean by telling me this...?" Zhang Yanming didn't understand his mother's intention and asked carefully. It was easy for relatives and friends to arouse her mother's anger, so she had to be careful.

"You don't know your aunt's temperament. When I said I wouldn't take care of the children, I really didn't care. I didn't care about it. I was so cool when I didn't care about it. That was really something I could do."

Zhang Ma curled her lips. She looked down on this behavior that only cared about her happiness and joy and ignored her children.

"Xiao Lihua is not easy now. She takes care of two children by herself. She still has to do even if her business is not easy. What should I do if I don't do it? If I don't live or not, I will not raise my children?"

Zhang Ma sighed. In fact, it’s not that the business outside the gate is not easy to do. The consumption capacity outside the gate is the highest in the country in the entire 1990s, and the stable income of the whole nation supported strong consumption.

What Zhang Ma said is that the industry chosen by Lihua, the aunt's family, has not been very prosperous in the past two years. She sells entertainment products such as mahjong poker. She can play with this item for a lifetime if you buy a pair of them, and the elimination rate is really low.

Moreover, more and more people want to do business in the past two years, and the competition is getting bigger and bigger, making it even harder to do it.

"No, mom, just tell me what you think. Don't let me understand it? I'm not very flexible in front of you."

Zhang's mother glared at Zhang Yanming, and the two babies laughed and laughed at each other. She felt that her father (second uncle) was very interesting now, and it was similar to their performance in front of her mother.

"Can you have a way? Help me. Wasn't you two good when I was a kid? You were like one person. At that time, I thought you two were going to be in the same relationship."

Zhang Yanming quivered: "It's really okay. If it weren't for my uncle at that time, I wouldn't be able to say it. He blocked me and I were ruthless and tried to prevent Lihua from meeting me. What did you think he was trying to?"

"You guys are young at that time, I'm afraid you'll get into trouble all day long. Besides, what are the conditions for them at that time? What are ours? If you don't say it, don't settle the score in your heart?"

Zhang Yanming nodded and agreed with his mother's statement. My uncle-in-law may indeed have this kind of thought. That person is more snobbish than a woman.

"Is there any way? This year is only twenty-nine. Tell me, I'll take care of two children alone. How do you live this life? I hope your aunt will provide supplements, so I don't even think about it.
