My Siheyuan Shelter

Chapter 442
Not long after Xu Dong came back.

Dad Xu also arrived home, and there were guests at home. As the nominal head of the family, he specially left work half an hour earlier.

"Sister, Xiudi and I are planning to visit your home this year to pay New Year's greetings. I didn't expect you to be one step ahead of us."

"It means that we want to go together. We haven't seen each other for seven or eight years. You two are lucky. The longer you live, the younger you are."

After finishing speaking, he hammered his lower back and said with emotion:

"I can't do it anymore, I'm old and useless."

In fact, Zhang Xiuyan is only two years older than Xu Ma, but the difference between the two seems to be at least ten years.

In addition to eating and drinking, Mama Xu's biggest advantage is the company of her grandchildren. Every day, she lives a full and happy life.

People who are in a good mood are naturally young.

"Sister, you are only in your early sixties, and there are still many days to come!" Mama Xu comforted immediately.

"Yes, today is a happy day, how can you say such unlucky words, look at my mouth."

Zhang Xiuyan patted her mouth lightly.

……

It was half past twelve, and the Keke sisters and Ma Lingling came back one after another, and they could finally have dinner.

The lunch was quite rich, except that it was too late to kill the chicken, Xu Ma cooked ten dishes in one go.

However, considering that Zhang Xiuyan and Da Jie seldom touch meat, only two meat dishes were prepared, and the rest were vegetarian dishes. Rapeseed oil was used instead of meat oil.

Before starting, Dad Xu raised his glass:

"Sister, I offer you a toast."

"Old Xu, I'm not in good health, and you're not in good health either. We're all from our own family, so just make up your mind."

"Sister, I did it, you can do whatever you want."

"Okay, let's just have a drink, ahem..."

Zhang Xiuyan can drink, and she can drink a lot. It's just that she is old and hasn't drank for several years, so she feels uncomfortable for a while.

Xu Ma glared at her husband, then removed all the wine glasses from the wine table.

"Eat vegetables, eat vegetables, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Zhang Xiuyan helped her granddaughter pick up a bowl full of vegetarian dishes, as well as a small half of fish fillet, because she was afraid that her granddaughter would not have self-control and would not be able to control her mouth.

This is done not only for the sake of health, but also to prevent embarrassment.

Fortunately, Xu Ma's fried vegetables are also delicious.

Da Jie couldn't help but whet her appetite and ate heartily. This was the sweetest meal she had so far.

After the meal, Yang Lina cooked a pot of soy milk.

Lele held her mouth: "Mom, I want to drink strawberry juice."

"Strawberry juice is too cold, drink it when it's hot."

Yang Lina just found an excuse.

She just came across a popular science video last week.

It turns out that the same amount of freshly squeezed fruit juice has twice the sugar content of cola. Everything about detoxification, weight loss, and VC supplementation is fake.

Fresh squeezed juice is not a good thing at all!

No wonder the youngest daughter and eldest son have been unable to lose weight. It turns out that they drank too much fruit juice. The two of them are the most greedy in the whole family and drink the most each time.

Since watching this video, Yang Lina hasn't squeezed juice anymore, instead she uses fresh fruit.

Er Bao wondered, "Mom, when is it hot?"

"Wait for your summer vacation."

"Summer vacation? The time is too long!"

Lele couldn't help complaining.

Regardless, Yang Lina filled the children's cups with soy milk. Zhang Xiuyan and Da Jie also asked for a cup each. Xu Ma specially added two tablespoons of white sugar to their cups.

After drinking the soy milk, Dad Xu continued to go back to the company to work.

Xu Dong and his wife took their children and cousin and niece to go out to play. Da Jie came to Yanjing for the first time, so he would definitely take her around and add some clothes and souvenirs along the way.

Zhang Xiuyan didn't go out with her, she pretended to have something on her mind, and planned to have a good chat with the younger sister in the afternoon.

Naturally, Xu's mother saw that the elder sister had something on her mind, so she deliberately pulled her into the bedroom. The bedroom has air conditioning, which is the most suitable place for chatting.

A pot of black tea, a big plate of snacks.

"Sister, there is no one at home now. If you have anything to say, just say it? I will help if I can."

Zhang Xiuyan suddenly showed an embarrassed expression: "Little sister, did you see it?"

"It's not the New Year's Eve now. If you came all the way here, something must happen."

Mama Xu grabbed a handful of melon seeds and put them in the elder sister's hand.

"Then I'll just say it."

"Speak!"

Zhang Xiuyan paused for a moment, organized her words, and then said tentatively: "Little sister, didn't your family start a company? Can you arrange a job for Xiaojie?"

"What? If I remember correctly, Xiaojie is only 16 years old this year. How can you have the heart to let her work at such a young age?"

Zhang Xiuyan nodded: "The Chinese New Year is just sixteen. In fact, there is nothing we can do. The child's grades are not good and he didn't get into high school."

"Studying a technical school is better than working part-time?"

"The technical school over there is incomparable to the one in the capital, and it is said that the technical school is very chaotic, and she is a girl. We are really worried."

"Then you don't have to rush out to work, do you?"

"Oh, Da Jie is very angry and doesn't want to stay in her hometown to live a hard life. Since graduating in the second half of last year, she has been doing odd jobs to save travel expenses, and she wants to go to the big city for a while.

You said, she is still so young, how can we rest assured, in the end there was really no other way, so I shamelessly begged you, hoping to help her find a way out. "

"What do you want? Anyway, I'm also the child's aunt. If you really make up your mind, it will be no problem to help her find a job."

"Little sister, I'm here to thank you."

Zhang Xiuyan breathed a sigh of relief, the matter was finally done, and with the care of her brother-in-law's family, her eldest granddaughter's future would definitely not be bad.

Maybe he can stay in Yanjing!
Mother Xu waved her hand: "Don't thank me in a hurry. I can find a relationship here and help Xiaojie find a better technical school. Ask her if she would like to go?"

"Okay, then wait for her to come back and see how she chooses, after all, this is her own path."

"Well, sister, don't worry, whether Dajie chooses to work or go to school, we will take good care of her." Mama Xu promised.

"I'm giving you trouble."

"No trouble, sister, why do you keep saying this? We are sisters. When Lao Xu and I bought a house, you helped us a lot."

"Okay, okay, I won't say anything."

Zhang Xiuyan smiled and nodded.

Mama Xu immediately suggested: "Sister, you have come here after all this time, and you must stay with me for a few more days."

"No." Zhang Xiuyan quickly waved her hand, "I can't live without people at home. I'm going back early in the morning the day after tomorrow. I've already bought the bus ticket."

"Why in such a hurry?"

"The New Year is coming soon, and there are still a lot of things at home, so don't persuade me."

Zhang Xiuyan casually found a reason.

She doesn't have the face to stay at her little sister's house, and this meal of big fish and meat makes her very uneasy, it's too expensive.

ps: Ask for recommended tickets and monthly tickets!
