The female supporting role who was deprived of the koi luck in the chronicle

Chapter 429 I almost didn't recognize it
Zhu Zhicheng got in the car and sat in the co-pilot, Susie and Qiao Mu sat in the back seat, and when they got home, they unloaded their things from the car.

Aunt Zhou greeted her with a smile: "Director Qiao said early in the morning that you could arrive today, and told me to prepare more dishes."

Susie smiled at her, "Thank you for your hard work."

Qiao Mu told her, "Aunt Zhou, my friend Zhu Zhicheng will also be staying at home recently, and you will clean up the guest room downstairs in a while."

Before Aunt Zhou could answer, Zhu Zhicheng hurriedly said, "I can do it myself."

Su Qian said: "Brother Zhu, you don't know where the quilts are. It's better for Aunt Zhou to tidy them up."

Aunt Zhou smiled, "Yes, Xiao Zhu, you don't have to worry about bothering me, it's a lot of effort."

Zhu Zhicheng said, "Thank you, Aunt Zhou."

Aunt Zhou went to tidy up the room, Zhu Zhicheng helped to send Susie's boxes upstairs, and Susie and Qiao Mu began to unpack the layers of packing.

Seeing that he couldn't help much, Zhu Zhicheng said, "Then I'll go home first."

Qiao Mu said: "When you come back later, if people ask you, just say you live at Qiao Yan's house."

Zhu Zhicheng agreed and left.

He got on the bus and arrived home in no time.

The alley was still the same, Zhu Zhicheng walked to the door, the door was open, he hesitated and walked in.

Under the faucet, a young woman was doing laundry, she glanced at Zhu Zhicheng, "Comrade, who are you looking for, why are you running around without making a sound?"

Zhu Zhicheng was at a loss, "I'm sorry, I—"

At this time, a voice came from the room, "Who is it?" Then Zhu Zhicheng's mother, He Lamei, came out from inside.

Zhu Zhicheng called out: "Mom".

He Lamei was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized, "Zhicheng!"

She hadn't seen Zhu Zhicheng for several years, at first glance, she almost didn't recognize that this was her son, she just thought it was a man in his 30s.

It's no wonder that her eyesight is bad, Zhu Zhicheng's hair is quite gray now, she really didn't recognize it at first.

The young woman doing the laundry was Zhu Zhicheng's sister-in-law. Only then did she realize that this was her uncle who had stayed in the country for more than ten years.

Zhu Zhicheng's father, Zhu Yongqing, heard it in the room and hurried out, with a smile on his face, "Zhicheng is back? Come in, it's hot outside."

Zhu Zhicheng entered the room, and Zhu Yongqing poured a glass of cold boiled water, "Why are you back at this time, isn't it the busiest time in the countryside?"

Just as Zhu Zhicheng was about to announce his plan to go to Hong Kong City, he suddenly changed his mind, "Now that the policy is loosened, most of the educated youths in our production team have returned to the city, and I don't want to stay in the country anymore."

Zhu Yongqing was a little surprised, "You mean, you just went home like this? Why didn't you discuss it with your family in advance? I heard that there are 10,000+ educated youths returning to Beijing now, and there is no way to arrange work."

Zhu Zhicheng lowered his eyes and remained silent.

He Lamei frowned, "What should I do when I come back? I don't have a place to live. The key is that you can't transfer your account back. You don't even have food. What do you eat if you don't have food?"

Zhu Zhicheng said slowly: "You all have urban household registration and have food rations. Even if I'm one more person, it's almost enough to eat."

He Lamei's voice was sharp, "You said it lightly, the burden on the family is already heavy, and if you add another mouth, the whole family will have to eat bran and swallow vegetables!"

Zhu Zhicheng said in a low voice: "Even if I can't arrange work for a while, I have strength. I will find a way to do odd jobs, and I can always earn money. I won't eat free rice at home."

Zhu Yongqing sighed, "Zhicheng, you don't know the current situation. I heard from Mrs. Liu in the street that these educated youths are making noise in the street every day, demanding to arrange work and settle their household registration."

"There are too many people, and we can't arrange them at all."

"It's just a part-time job, and now I can't get a job!"

Zhu Zhicheng turned to look at his father, "Then tell me, what should I do?"

He Lamei hurriedly said, "What should I do? I think it's better to go back to the countryside."

"Anyway, it's better to have a place to live in the countryside, have food to eat, and save some money a year than to have nothing at home."

Zhu Zhicheng couldn't help showing a wry smile. He wanted to test his parents' attitude towards his return home on an impromptu basis.

The last time he returned to the croissant production team from home, he still sends money home after the autumn harvest every year. His father’s retirement salary is not much, his younger sister has to study, and his mother has no job. He feels that as the eldest son, he still has to bear what he should bear.

It's just that he didn't sell blood anymore, and he didn't treat himself as harshly as before.

He didn't expect that his parents would have such an attitude towards his return home. He thought that they would show him a little pity for the sake of him having spent so many years in the countryside.

He didn't even dare to think, without Susie's helping hand, he would stand here today without any retreat, and how he would live in this family in the future.

Zhu Zhicheng's wry smile gradually changed, and tears rolled down from his eyes.

Zhu Yongqing quickly said to He Lamei, "Oh, the child just came home, what are you talking about?"

"This matter can't be rushed. Zhicheng hasn't been home for several years. Let's stay for a few days and discuss it later."

He Lamei snorted, "What are you talking about, our family is just ordinary people, we have no connections, so don't even think about arranging work."

Zhu Zhicheng raised his tearful eyes and looked at He Lamei: "Then what do you mean, I have to go back to the countryside now?"

Zhu Zhicheng's sister-in-law, Liang Juan, stood by the door and listened to the conversation of several people, she couldn't help but be dumbfounded, this mother-in-law is too cruel, her uncle's buttocks are not hot yet, she drove them out.

However, after thinking about it, it would be good for their little family that the elder brother-in-law went to the countryside.

At least no one is competing with them for the house.

She married Zhu Zhigao because she took a fancy to the small courtyard of their house. In her own home, the whole family of seven lived in a 20-square-meter house, and they had been bumping into each other for more than [-] years.

Here, the young couple lived comfortably in one room.There are two rented rooms at home, and I can charge more than 20 yuan a month, which is considered my salary.

The mother-in-law usually dotes on Zhu Zhigao very much, regardless of food and clothing, she is always close to Zhu Zhigao. She really did not expect that the mother-in-law has such an attitude towards the eldest son.

Liang Juan sympathized with Zhu Zhicheng and rejoiced that her husband was the favored one.

Judging by her mother-in-law's attitude, I'm afraid that this house will not have a uncle's share in the future.

Liang Juan couldn't help being a little elated.

Seeing that Zhu Zhicheng, a big man, was in tears, Zhu Yongqing quickly smoothed things over, "Zhicheng, don't think too much, your mother didn't mean that, she just said that there are many educated youths returning to the city now, and it is difficult to arrange work."

He said to He Lamei: "It's almost noon, roll out more noodles, Zhicheng must be hungry when he comes back from such a long distance."

He Lamei didn't move.

Zhu Zhicheng wiped away his tears and said calmly, "No need."

"Since this family can't accommodate me, I'll go."
