Father Yun and Mother Yun had started bustling around the house.
Eldest Sister-in-law Yun and her family of four also came over.
Eldest Sister-in-law Yun and her family of four didn’t know about Xiaoxiao’s return yet.
Because when her family of four arrived, many aunts in the apartment building were busy at home.
When they saw Xiaoxiao and her family of four, Eldest Sister-in-law Yun and her husband were already stunned.
During the New Year, why would the little sister’s family return to her parents’ house for the celebration?
Who has ever heard of a daughter returning to her parents’ house for the New Year?
Eldest Sister-in-law Yun was grumbling inside, but she dared not show it on her face.
"Little sister, when did you guys come back?" Eldest Brother Yun quickly squeezed out a smile and asked.
Towards this youngest sister, they knew they had grown apart, but they didn’t want to make things ugly.
Now that both he and his wife were university graduates, they were considered a cut above those with only a high school education.
"We came back last night, thinking that it has been many years since we celebrated the New Year with mom and dad. This year, we deliberately didn’t go back to my in-laws’ and came directly here from the Capital City to celebrate with you all. This year, our family is finally having a big reunion."
Xiaoxiao knew that although Eldest Brother Yun hadn’t done anything, as the man by Eldest Sister-in-law Yun’s side, she couldn’t have carried out her little schemes without him noticing—it was just left unsaid. After all, he thought he would benefit from the outcome as well.
Such a person is the most detestable.
"It is a big reunion."
Xiaoxiao brought up an old issue, "Back then, it wasn’t anyone’s kindness that signed me up for the rural placement. Now, I must thank her. If it weren’t for her, I might not have gotten into the country’s best University of Science and Technology."
Downstairs earlier, Second Brother Yun had told the younger ones to play downstairs and hadn’t brought them upstairs.
Now hearing little sister talk about this, Second Brother Yun chimed in, "Yes, that person deserves our gratitude for making you experience bitterness before sweetness. Now you and your husband have opened an appliance store, earning quite a sum each year. Even without a university diploma, you’ll be able to buy a house and a car in the Capital City."
They’ve opened an appliance store?
And now they’re planning to buy a house and a car in the Capital City?
Eldest Sister-in-law Yun could hardly maintain her forced smile.
"Little sister, you’ve opened a shop in the Capital City, weren’t you studying?"
Going to university and running a shop at the same time?
"We just hire people to manage the store. Now that the reforms and opening-up are in place, many people have gone into business. Otherwise, if the factory isn’t managed well and goes bankrupt, many workers will be laid off."
Those words made Eldest Sister-in-law Yun and Eldest Brother Yun’s hearts skip a beat.
Second Brother Yun’s job was so coveted back then.
The head chef at a state-run hotel.
But they never expected that one day he would be laid off.
No longer working at the state-run hotel, he could only open his own shop and be his own boss.
Eldest Brother Yun and Eldest Sister-in-law Yun really couldn’t keep up their smiles anymore.
Father Yun and Mother Yun were still busy in the kitchen, not quite able to hear what the children were saying in the living room.
Tianlei analyzed the situation seriously and added, "Nowadays, there are more and more private factories. If some state-owned factories don’t reform, they could really go bankrupt and fail."
Eldest Sister-in-law Yun’s eyes fixed on the clothes they wore, which were down jackets, each not cheap, and likely not just for show.
She thought that if the factory were doing poorly, she might be the first to be laid off. If that happened, what could she do?
Unlike her brother-in-law who could cook well.
Unlike her sister-in-law who knew how to teach.
