Chapter 394 Who's Coming?
Not long after, Xiao Fen and her husband also got off work.
The couple now work as temporary workers at a textile factory, one taking over Tianhua's job, and the other at a timber factory. Although they are both temporary workers, they can be considered dual-income households.
In addition, my father-in-law has a job, so my parents-in-law don't need to worry about me and can help take care of the children.
In a small county town, their life is considered quite good.
Xiao Fen had just finished get off work at the textile factory and hadn't even gotten home yet when she heard people talking about it from a great distance.
"Did you see that? Did you all see that today? Wang Yinhua's daughter and son-in-law are back. That daughter and son-in-law are quite remarkable."
"One of them has become an engineer and is driven around in a car with wheels, while the other is a leader in the military and holds a high position."
"You're not talking about Xu Sui, who got into Peking University a few years ago, are you? I heard that school is quite special. Almost everyone who gets into that school becomes a high-ranking leader after graduation."
"It's her, it's her. When she came back today, she was driven back in a jeep. She had quite the airs, even more so than the county magistrate."
Let alone their county head, even the county party secretary probably has never ridden in a jeep.
But Xu Sui, who had only recently graduated, already had the ability to ride in such a nice car.
Don't be fooled by those who gossip behind your back; in reality, who isn't envious and jealous?
Then someone else chimed in sourly, "They really are capable; we can't compare."
"Look at how he came back today. He didn't even give us old neighbors a second glance. If you didn't know better, you'd think he was some big shot."
Xiao Fen had just finished get off work and picked up her daughter from the daycare. She had originally planned to stroll home at a leisurely pace.
As they walked, they overheard what the people were saying. She loved excitement and gossip, so she secretly pulled her little girl along to listen.
The more I listened, the more something seemed off.
"Hey, hey, who are you talking about? Who's back? Who came back in a jeep?"
She must have heard correctly. Xu Sui and her husband were still in the military, and she hadn't heard anything about them coming back.
The group of people who were secretly gossiping looked up instinctively and saw Xiao Fen, who was Xu Sui's sister-in-law.
Their expressions immediately became uneasy, and they even secretly planned to slip away.
But Xiao Fen wasn't about to let them succeed. She stepped forward, reached out, and grabbed all of them.
She was very strong, and because she was in a hurry, she didn't hold back, pulling the men until they cried out in pain.
"You haven't told me who's coming back yet, why are you leaving already? Don't go, tell me!"
"Stop talking nonsense, stop talking nonsense, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, it was your sister-in-law Xu Sui and her husband who came back. They even came back in a jeep, they had such a big presence, even bigger presence than the highest leader in our county."
Upon hearing this, Xiao Fen immediately covered the mouths of the group, glared at them fiercely, and whispered a threat in their ears:
"What nonsense are you spouting? How dare you say such things? I'll tear your mouths apart!"
"Our family even produced a military officer. We are a family with impeccable revolutionary credentials and a clean political background. Don't spread rumors."
What does it mean to have a more imposing presence than a county-level official?
Aren't they just capitalists or landlords who exploit the people?
These ordinary people have always been honest and law-abiding; how could they possibly associate themselves with capitalists or landlords?
The authorities are cracking down hard right now, and you can often see people wearing red armbands searching and confiscating homes on the streets.
If we really get involved with those people, who knows what kind of trouble will ensue.
After giving these people a good talking-to, Xiao Fen grabbed her youngest daughter, Baozhu, and hurried home.
Baozhu is young and has only been in school for a short time. She blinked her eyes and pouted her round little belly, "Mommy, why are you walking so fast? I can hardly keep up with you."
Xiao Fen bent down, scooped up her daughter and held her in her arms, walking briskly with energy.
"Baozhu, your uncle and aunt are back. Mommy will take you to see them."
"When you see them, you must be well-behaved and obedient. Remember to call them 'Second Uncle' and 'Second Aunt'."
"Your second uncle and aunt are really capable. If you can get them to like you, even if they just peek out from between their fingers, it will be enough for us to enjoy."
"Mom doesn't expect you to be very successful, but you must get along well with your second uncle and aunt's older brothers and sisters."
Since becoming a mother, Xiao Fen has never been at ease. Every day she thinks about what path she should take to make her daughter's life easier in the future.
Although my daughter is young, you can tell what a person will be like at three years old. She's not cut out for studying, and she's not particularly good-looking either.
She has a flat nose and a round face. She looks alright when she's young, barely cute, but as she grows up, she probably won't even be considered pretty. I don't know how she turned out this way; she didn't inherit any of her parents' good looks at all.
A girl like her will never be able to marry a good man or get into a good school like Xu Sui when she grows up.
Xiao Fen was filled with regret. She should have volunteered to go to Beijing to take care of Xu Sui and Qin Yunzhou's child.
Look at all these years, not to mention the old lady, even Du Mei and Xu Sui have benefited a lot.
Suddenly, she went from a poor village girl to the wife of an officer in the army, with a job and savings.
It's like living a completely different life; who wouldn't be envious if you told them?
On the other side, Qin Min, who was returning from get off work at the lumber mill, and Qin Youtian, who was returning from get off work at the scrap metal recycling station, also learned that Qin Yunzhou and Xu Sui had returned.
They also learned that they had returned in a four-wheeled jeep, which attracted a lot of onlookers.
People are now saying that Xu Sui became a leader outside after graduating from university, and that she has a lot of prestige, unlike them.
This is why the Qin family suddenly became the center of attention in the entire courtyard.
Qin Youtian and his son Qin Min were stunned for a moment. What? A leader came out of their family?
How come they didn't know?
The father and son didn't dare to delay and hurried home.
Qin family.
As Xiao Fen and her daughter rushed into the yard, they saw two neatly dressed, well-behaved and adorable children sitting obediently, eating peach shortbread and doing their homework.
The clothes they wore were made of rare, high-quality materials, with novel and unique designs. They were clearly sought-after items from big cities, and their prices were not cheap.
What's most striking is the demeanor of the two children, which is completely out of place in the dilapidated and cramped courtyard around them.
The two children are just like their parents; you can tell at a glance whose children they are.
