struggle in a small town

Chapter 252

The three of Zhang Xuejiao went home first, and she had to work in the kitchen.

Knock on the door but no answer.

Zhang Jianguo untied the key from the belt loop: "Your mother may have gone to our supermarket."

"Ah."

As soon as the door opened, Lin Zhiyuan hurriedly put down the things in his hand and got into the bathroom.

Zhang Xuejiao walked around the room, but Liu Huifang and Wang Xiangmei were not there.

Zhang Jianguo changed his words: "Let's go grocery shopping."

When Zhang Xuejiao walked into the kitchen, the usual vegetable baskets were already full, and there were still fresh ribs and fish on the countertop.

Obviously all the food has been bought.

Zhang Jianguo was confused: "What the hell did they do?"

"I'll be back sooner or later." Zhang Xuejiao took the apron from the wall: "I'll pack it first, Dad, watch TV for a while."

"to make."

Zhang Jianguo turned around and saw Lin Zhiyuan coming out of the bathroom: "Xiaoyuan accompany me to play two rounds?"

"Dad, I'll help Xiaoxue with work, she's quite tired by herself."

Zhang Jianguo liked to hear this.

Although he usually keeps saying that housework is a woman's business, he is happy that his son-in-law is willing to help his daughter.

As soon as the kitchen door was closed, Lin Zhiyuan walked behind Zhang Xuejiao and untied the apron: "The green onions, ginger and garlic are yours, and the rest are mine."

"Then how tired you are."

"Aren't you tired?" Lin Zhiyuan put his arms around Xiaoxue's waist, "I love you dearly."

Zhang Xuejiao turned her head and touched his lips lightly: "It's only a few times a year."

Lin Zhiyuan wanted to say that he had never seen Xiao Yu work before, but he changed his words: "I'll go and get a small bench, you sit and chop the garlic, and leave the rest to me."

"Be courteous for nothing, rape or steal." Zhang Xuejiao tilted her head: "What on earth are you going to do?"

"Then guess, do I want to rape or steal?" Lin Zhiyuan said and put the apron over her head: "I'll go get the little bench."

Zhang Xuejiao took off her apron, remembering that because Qi Yun lived at home, Lin Zhiyuan was very honest at night, not to mention touching his hands and feet, and he didn't even talk coquettishly.

Eighty percent of them are suffocated.

Lin Zhiyuan took the small bench, turned back and saw Xiaoxue smiling with her head down. He didn't know where the inspiration came from, maybe it was intuition, anyway, he could feel what Xiaoxue was thinking.

It has been several years, and he has always taken the initiative, so it is inevitable that there will be some expectations.

"Wife~"

Zhang Xuejiao turned around to pick up the small bench: "Lin Zhiyuan, Lin Zhiyuan, isn't it good to be honest?"

Lin Zhiyuan looked back cautiously, confirmed that the kitchen door was closed, and then cleared his throat: "Tonight, take a shower, understand?"

"Understood~"

The two people divide the work, and the preparation is quite fast.

It's just that the sink was too short, and Lin Zhiyuan was very tired when he bent over. Zhang Xuejiao pulled him aside: "I'm washing the vegetables, you boil the ribs to remove the blood foam."

Liu Huifang's voice came from outside: "I'm exhausted!"

Zhang Xuejiao turned off the faucet, rubbed her hands on her body a few times, opened the door and saw her grandma sitting on the sofa while her mother was changing shoes.

"Mom, grandma, what did you do?"

"Buy a meeting gift." Liu Huifang said as she opened the bag, took out two boxes from it, and opened one of them to show her: "I bought a necklace, and your grandma bought a bracelet."

Zhang Xuejiao walked over and took a look. It was a very ordinary gold necklace, and the pendant was a peanut.

Liu Huifang pushed forward: "Take it out and have a look."

Zhang Xuejiao raised her hand: "It's wet, I just washed the vegetables."

"What do you think?"

"With a single mind, everything is fine."

Liu Huifang opened another box: "A 30-gram bracelet, isn't it small?"

The frosted gold bracelet has no other patterns, just a simple circle.

It seems that my mother is bleeding a lot today.

Zhang Xuejiao still said the same sentence: "Tingting will understand the elder's heart."

Liu Huifang babbled several times, with only one meaning, Longlong didn't have her own father to take care of her, so she had to make up for her as an aunt.

Zhang Xuejiao's ears were almost callused, and she helplessly made a face for her grandma, who greeted her with a smile: "Come to grandma."

Liu Huifang went back to the bedroom to pick out clothes.

Zhang Xuejiao sat down next to her grandma: "Are you tired from shopping?"

"Your mother pushed me, I'm not tired."

Grandma's voice was a little softer: "Your uncle called in the morning and asked where it was on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and your mother said to go to your house."

"No, I'm going to fly to Shanghai tomorrow, and my classmate is getting married on the [-]th." Zhang Xuejiao panicked: "Besides, my brother and sister-in-law are also coming, so we can't let them come this year?"

"Go and persuade your mother."

Zhang Xuejiao could only go to the bedroom.

Liu Huifang was picking out clothes, which were all over the bed.

"Help me which one is better."

"Red is good, festive."

Liu Huifang picked up the red dress: "I also think this one is good."

Zhang Xuejiao watched her get dressed and wriggled in front of the mirror, not knowing how to speak.

At the beginning, she didn't want her uncle to come to the house, and now she is here to persuade mom, isn't it a bit hypocritical?

Liu Huifang saw it in the mirror: "What expression do you have?"

"Mom, my classmate is getting married on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and I have to leave tomorrow, so..."

Liu Huifang turned around: "I have the key to your house."

This is true.

At the beginning, Zhang Xuejiao was afraid that she would lose the key and would not be able to enter the door, so she specially kept a spare one with her mother.

Forget it, I'm not here anyway, so let them mess around.

Zhang Xuejiao walked back to the living room, but her grandma was gone, so she didn't dare to look for her, so she went into the kitchen.

Lin Zhiyuan has been working all the time, the fish is marinated, the ribs are boiled, everything needs to be washed and cut, and everything remains intact.

Zhang Xuejiao leaned over: "On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, my mother will entertain guests at our house."

"did you mean?"

"I dare not refuse."

Lin Zhiyuan raised his left arm: "My key is in my trouser pocket, take it out to Mom."

"My mother has the key."

Lin Zhiyuan was a little unhappy.

He didn't know about the spare key before.

It is a small home for two people, how can you give the key to someone else?

Neither can the mother-in-law.

In case one day the two of them were on a whim, doing this or that on the sofa, and the mother-in-law pushed the door in, the scene would be unimaginable.

It seems that it is necessary to have a good chat with Xiaoxue at night.

Zhang Xuejiao washed her hands, turned over the fish in the basin: "What did you put?"

"Just the ones you usually use, salt, sugar, soy sauce."

Zhang Xuejiao's cell phone rang, an unfamiliar local number.

She showed the screen to Lin Zhiyuan: "Do you want to answer it?"

"pick up."

Only then did Zhang Xuejiao connect: "Hello."

A strange man's voice came from inside: "Are you Zhang Xuejiao?"

"it's me."

"You signed a five-year rental contract with my dad before, is there such a thing?"

This is not nonsense.

How can there be no such thing as paying rent quarterly?
"Yes, I signed a five-year contract with my uncle, and it hasn't expired yet."

"It's like this. My father left, and my mother is left alone. She wants to live with me in the south. This house is going to be sold. See what happens to the rest of the lease."

Zhang Xuejiao replied subconsciously: "Sell it to me? It will save trouble for both of us."

"All right, where are you? Make an appointment to meet."

"I'm on West Road."

"It's close." The man was very happy: "Let's go to that house to talk, make a deal, and transfer the ownership earlier."

"Okay, I'll go out now."

After hanging up the phone, as soon as Zhang Xuejiao told the story, Lin Zhiyuan immediately took off his apron: "I'll go with you."
