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

...

evening.

Zhang Xuan's eldest sister Zhang Ping came to deliver the meal.

Looking at this eldest sister who had a face as beautiful as a flower but had not even 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, the vegetables are stir-fried lettuce leaves, and poached eggs.

Knowing that her son didn't like sweet potatoes, Ruan Xiuqin scooped up all the floating sweet potato dices into her own bowl before sharing the meal, and gave him the rest of the 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 she 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 rice was no longer tasty.

Although Yang Ende looks average, 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 at that. He is completely obedient and obedient to his mean, quarrelsome mother.

In my previous life, my eldest sister was married and her life was pretty good 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. She won't talk back when she's wronged, so she just hides and cries. If she cries too much, sometimes she will curse this old witch in her heart to make it earlier.

After she died, life became easier, but the old witch lived past 95, and she forced her elder sister to turn into a head full of white hair, and died in front of her.

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

And where was Yang Ende at this time?

He became an invisible man, neither helping anyone nor mediating. He only did one thing silently, listening to his mother's words and taking control of the family's financial power. Then, like a beggar, he gave five and ten yuan to his eldest sister every month.

I use my living expenses 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 the 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 by the bed, unexpectedly glanced at her son who had never interfered with this matter before, raised her 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. He is smart, looks good, 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. She won't be able to defend him in the future, and it will end up 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 the fifth grade. When it comes to the entrance exam from elementary school to junior high school, her teachers don’t let her take the exam and let her stay in the classroom to guard the gate because they are worried about her position.

Mathematics scores lower the average score and affect school rankings.

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 children follow her? Did the eldest son inherit his genes from her husband?

But when it comes to Ouyang Yong, Zhang Xuan's memory comes out immediately. This man followed the trend of his village head father, who likes to wear mousse, white shirts, trousers and leather shoes, and pays more attention to self-grooming. In these days, he looks like

It's true that the romantic embryo is not false.

But you really can't judge people by their appearance. He has slapped the villagers in the face with his lifelong actions, proving what it means to be a maniac who dotes on his wife and what it means to be a good man. His wife is not as good as Zhang Ping in all aspects.

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 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'm back from the meeting. 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, and some of her knowledge 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 showered in several days."

The doctor was stunned when he heard this. His eyes scanned the two of them back and forth. He seemed to understand Zhang Xuan's thoughts. Save money. The cost of hospitalization is too high.

There was no need to embarrass anyone. The kind-hearted doctor could understand their plight, 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 take a look at the situation. You can take the remaining medicine back to the village.

Get a fight. If you feel unwell, come to the hospital immediately. Don’t leave it to me.”

"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.

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. The family owes a lot of debt, so just save money if you can.

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

Ruan Xiuqin was packing her things carefully in preparation for leaving 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 the work in a hurry, the mother and son left the hospital after the operation.

The things were not valuable, but they were numerous, complicated, and annoying. Zhang Xuan felt like a beekeeper at the 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 on this 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 such a situation, so they had to give up.

As the New Year is approaching, more and more people are going to the market on the street, and there are also more people buying and selling New Year's goods. The sound of selling one after another is very lively.
