Chapter 529 You are partial to her!
When Zhou Rong went to the "Tuanjie Vegetable Store" to inquire about the news, Feng Xinhua asked, "Mom, who is that?"
Feng Qiaolan: "Your father's ex-ex-wife."
Feng Xinhua: "Ah?! You and my dad's ex-wife have such a good relationship?"
Feng Qiaolan: "...We are all unfortunate people who have been deceived by your father, but I don't think as clearly as she does, nor do I have her ability, so I can't give you a good life."
Feng Xinhua: "Don't say that. It was my own fault that I didn't listen to your advice and insisted on going to the Corps. I got married and had children there, and I didn't have the ability to get into college, so I ended up like this."
Feng Xinhua spent several years in the Corps only to discover that her expectation of serving the motherland was completely different from the reality. They were like farmers, reclaiming wasteland every day, and the days repeated themselves day after day with no end in sight.
Later, she met a male educated youth in the Corps. They fell in love and then got married and had children.
Feng Xinhua gave birth to two children, a son and a daughter. She thought she would stay in the Corps for the rest of her life, but she didn't expect the country to resume the college entrance examination. Unfortunately, she and her husband took the exam twice but failed to get into university.
Later, the organization allowed the educated youth to return to the city, but she and her husband were not in the same city.
In order to return to the city, her husband filed for divorce, took her eldest son away, and left her youngest daughter with her.
Feng Xinhua was unwilling to divorce at the time. Her once mild-tempered husband cursed at her, saying that she and the child were a burden and that he regretted getting married. He also didn't speak to her for several days.
Feng Xinhua felt that her husband had become a different person. If they continued to live like this, they would no longer be husband and wife but enemies. Not only would she suffer but their children would also be affected. So she agreed to divorce.
Feng Qiaolan's job has been replaced by Feng Xinyue. Feng Xinhua couldn't find a job after returning to the city. In order to support himself and his children, he had to learn from others and set up a stall.
Fortunately, she has a good mother who fully supports her, teaches her how to stew food, and accompanies her to set up the stall...
Feng Qiaolan: "Don't think about the past. Let's look forward and we will be able to get by."
Feng Xinhua: “Yes.”
Yan Xiuzhu and Wan Chunmiao have retired, and the "Tuanjie Vegetable Store" is currently run by their children.
Everyone grew up listening to Zhou Rong's stories, and they were happy to give her face by allowing Feng Qiaolan to set up a stall at the door at any time.
After obtaining consent, Zhou Rong went to find Feng Qiaolan.
Feng Qiaolan thanked them repeatedly, wrapped two kilograms of the braised dishes on the tricycle in oil paper, and said that she would treat them all for today's dishes.
Zhou Rong deliberately said with a cold face: "Although I'm retired, I was once a cadre after all. How could you let me commit a style problem? If someone reports me, where will I put my face?"
Feng Qiaolan: "I'm sorry, I didn't think it through. Please give me 5 cents."
Zhou Rong: "Vegetable prices have gone up now. I buy a few kilograms of fresh vegetables, and it costs more than 5 cents. Your stewed vegetables are much more expensive than fresh vegetables. Sell me the same price as you sell to others, as long as you don't shortchange me."
Feng Qiaolan: "No! Our scales are all regular, not the 8-liang scales that other people use! These vegetables are 2 yuan and 1 cents in total. If you bought more, I'll give you the 1 cents."
Zhou Rong: "Okay, your business is good, I will come to you tomorrow to buy braised meat."
Feng Qiaolan smiled and said, "Okay, if you buy more, I will continue to give you discounts."
Zhou Rong paid the money and took Feng Qiaolan and the others to the "Tuanjie Vegetable Store" and introduced her to everyone.
Feng Qiaolan was very capable. She gave each employee in the store some braised dishes and also bought meat and vegetables from the store to process at home.
The people in the vegetable store liked her personality very much. Whenever there were hooligans coming to eat for free, they would help out and chase them away. When the weather was bad, they would also make room for her in the store.
Feng Qiaolan and Feng Xinhua now have a fixed stall, and their business is becoming more stable. The profit is enough to support their parents and children, and there is still some surplus...
Xu Man and Wang Chengnan were also invited by Nini to celebrate the New Year at Chen Mansion. After Zhou Qingping, Zhou Qingan and others arrived home, the New Year dinner was particularly lively.
After dinner, the adults continued to make dumplings and chat in the room, while the children were making snowmen and having snowball fights in the yard.
After a while, 2-year-old Zhou Rui ran in, crying and saying that the older brother bullied her.
Zhou Jifan came over and defended himself, "I didn't bully her! I told her not to play snowball fights, but she insisted on playing. She got hit by a small snowball and started crying. Now she's complaining first. That's too much!"
Zhou Rui wiped her tears and said, "Big brother is bad. I don't like him and don't play with him."
Zhou Qingping felt distressed when he saw Zhou Rui crying. He hugged her and said gently, "Big brother is ignorant. We won't play with him. You can make dumplings with dad."
Seeing his father being so partial, Zhou Jifan felt tears of grievance welling up in his eyes.
Zhou Rong saw this and criticized Zhou Qingping: "Ji Fan did nothing wrong. All games have their rules. It was Xiao Rui who ignored the rules. You can't blame others.
You are indiscriminate and side with Xiao Rui. You should apologize to Ji Fan."
Zhou Qingping was stunned, realizing that his inappropriate words and actions had hurt Zhou Jifan, and quickly said, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you. You are a good brother, and it was Xiaorui who did something wrong."
Zhou Jifan: "Since she is wrong, can you punish her?"
Zhou Qingping: "...My sister is young and not in good health. What if she gets sick after being punished? How about we wait until she is older and then punish her?"
Zhou Jifan: "When I was her age, I already helped grandma with housework. If I made a mistake, I would be punished. Why can't she do the same? You are just partial to her!"
Zhou Qingping: “…”
Zhou Rong: "Ji Fan, brothers and sisters were originally snowflakes floating down from the sky, no one knew each other, but after landing, they merged into one, turned into ice, and melted into water, and can never be separated.
You are Xiaorui's biological brother. You should protect her and prevent her from being bullied. You should try your best to keep her away from diseases and let her grow up healthy and happy.
As a younger sister, she should also be considerate of you, respect you and not cause you trouble. But she is only two years old now and cannot understand many things. We have to set an example for her and use actions to tell her what she can and cannot do.
Given the mistake she made just now, I made her sweep the floor as punishment, but you can see from her face that she definitely won't do it. How about you teach her?"
Zhou Jifan: "Okay!"
Zhou Rui has a weak constitution and caught a cold while playing in the snow just now. Zhou Jifan taught her how to sweep the floor, but she started coughing before she had taught her twice.
Zhou Jifan felt both distressed and scared, so he asked her to rest, poured her a cup of warm water, and then went to sweep the floor.
Zhou Rui drank a few sips of water and her cough got better. She looked at Zhou Jifan sweeping the floor seriously and clapped her hands and said, "Big brother, you are so good at sweeping the floor. Can we go play snowballs again tomorrow? I won't cry this time."
Zhou Jifan: "No! You are not in good health and cannot play in the snow. Let's read books at home tomorrow and I will tell you stories."
Zhou Rui: "I like listening to stories, and I also like big brothers."
After hearing this, Zhou Jifan smiled happily, and the brother and sister reconciled.
