Chapter 53: The Fan Family Gathering
Two or three days after the Spring Festival, according to the rules of the Fan family, they should go to the ancestral grave.
Wang Guizhi originally felt that he was not qualified to go to the grave, but Fan Xiuman said that Wang Guizhi was his daughter and there was a look that Wang Guizhi would not go and she would not give up, so she could only agree.
Before leaving on this day, Wang Guizhi was still helping Fan Xiuman pick out clothes.
"Mom, this coffee-colored coat looks good, you can wear it," Fan Xiuman picked up from the cabinet, and picked out a good one from Fan Xiuman's wardrobe, "It must look good in this one!
Fan Xiuman looked at Wang Guizhi, who was helping him pick out clothes, and couldn't laugh or cry: "Guizhi, let's go to sweep the tomb and not to participate in a fashion show in the city, so we don't have to dress like this." ”
"Mom," Wang Guizhi said angrily after hearing Fan Xiuman's words, "Anyway, I stayed at home until I was twelve years old, can I not understand the rules of the Fan family?
Wang Guizhi knows that the Fan family went to the grave during the Spring Festival, saying that it was to sweep the tomb, but in fact, it was mainly the Fan family's party and outing, basically the aunts would wear very good-looking, and some would compare with each other.
If the clothes are extraordinary, they will be the envy of everyone!
Fan Xiuman has never liked to compare these things, so when Wang Guizhi was a child, he also heard many people secretly scold Fan Xiuman for being a bun. When she was a child, she naturally didn't understand, but the current Wang Guizhi's two lifetimes are almost the same age as the current Fan Xiuman, so she naturally knows what is going on.
Wang Guizhi decided that she would not let her parents be maliciously slandered by others.
"Okay then," Fan Xiuman looked at herself in the mirror and felt that Wang Guizhi's clothes were also good, "I will wear whatever my daughter asks me to wear." ”
Wang Guizhi's vision is very good, the clothes she put on for Fan Xiuman are beautiful and trendy, but they will not dominate, they are very elegant, they belong to the kind of special daily life but can bring out the human temperament.
Fan Xiuman is docile, and her temperament is even different from that of her sisters.
Fan Xiuman and Wang Guizhi have been together for a long time, and they are unconsciously dressed up very fashionably, and they look like they are in their twenties and thirties, much younger.
People don't love beauty, and this sentence is not wrong at all.
What's more, Wang Guizhi is ingenious, during the summer vacation last year, she also learned a lot of skills from Aunt Liu's tailor shop, in addition to mending clothes every day, sometimes you can sew a pattern or something, which makes the clothes a lot more exquisite.
"Let's go, let's sweep the grave," Li Haoqiang patted a tricycle and motioned for the two to sit up, "I'll take you over." ”
Wang Guizhi didn't remember that he had a tricycle at home, so he hurriedly asked, "Dad, where did you get this tricycle?"
Li Haoqiang smiled and explained: "This is to ask the neighbor next door to borrow it, before my mother and I went to the two of us, we only need to ride a bicycle, but now there are three people in our family, and the bicycle can't sit down." ”
Wang Guizhi then remembered that when he went to sweep the tomb when he was a child, Li Haoqiang rode Fan Xiuman, and Fan Xiuman held himself in his arms. But now that Wang Guizhi is nineteen years old after the New Year, it is naturally impossible to be held by Fan Xiuman anymore.
"I see. Wang Guizhi nodded in understanding.
And Li Haoqiang said to himself: "This tricycle is very convenient, but every time I ask the neighbor next door to borrow it, I'm not embarrassed, let's buy one when we come back." ”
Wang Guizhi listened to Li Haoqiang's words, but shook his head disapprovingly: "Dad, this grave is only once a year, and the neighbor next door has a good relationship with us, so he won't care about this." It's really not necessary to buy a tricycle, it's a waste of money. ”
Wang Guizhi in the previous life knew that there would be a more convenient means of transportation in the future, that is, electric vehicles, and at that time, tricycles were almost eliminated.
Li Haoqiang listened to Wang Guizhi's words and felt that what his daughter said was quite reasonable, so he dispelled the idea of wanting to buy a tricycle.
He planted Fan Xiuman and Wang Guizhi.
When they arrived, they went with the others to the grave.
After going to the grave, as in previous years, several families found an open space to sit down and chat.
"Ouch, it's Guizhi, I haven't seen you for a long time," Fan Chunrou, the boss of the Fan family, couldn't help but exclaim when she saw Wang Guizhi, "Come and let Aunt I see if I have grown taller!"
Wang Guizhi was very cute when she was a child, and she spoke sweetly, so there are many people who like her.
Fan Chunrou knew that Wang Guizhi was following her biological parents, but it was a pity, she really liked Wang Guizhi.
Now that Wang Guizhi is back, she is naturally welcome.
Wang Guizhi sat beside Fan Chunrou with a smile, and called out "Auntie" sweetly, and was questioned by Fan Chunrou.
Lao Sifan Pearl saw the clothes Fan Xiuman was wearing, and directly praised: "Xiuman, your clothes look good, it's quite your temperament." ”
Fan Xiuman saw others praising herself, after all, she was a sister in her own family, and she couldn't help but show off: "Yes, this is the clothes that Guizhi helped me put on, this child, I have to look good in it." ”
The more Fan Pearl looked at it, the more she liked it, she stepped forward and touched her coat, and then saw the gray sweater inside Fan Xiuman, and couldn't help but boast: "This sweater is also good-looking, you see this embroidery is exquisite, it's too foreign, where did you buy it?"
"This is Gui Zhi's child helped me embroider it, originally this sweater was torn a hole, and my eyes were not very good, I didn't want to make up for it and wanted to throw away this sweater directly, but Gui Zhi saw it, but said that she could help me mend it, and also made up for the appearance of a small flower, but it looks good!" Fan Xiuman hasn't taken Wang Guizhi to see her family for six years, and at this moment she can't wait to bring her a sentence and praise her.
When everyone heard Fan Xiuman praise Wang Guizhi like this, they all curiously gathered around to see how good Fan Xiuman's sweater could look. When they saw this embroidery, they couldn't help but praise the good stitching.
"Guizhi, why haven't you seen each other for six years and learned so many things?" Fan Chunrou heard that this pattern was sewn by Wang Guizhi, and unconsciously quipped.
"Auntie, I learned it from an aunt in the village," Wang Guizhi also likes Fan Chunrou very much, when she was a child, Fan Chunrou often gave herself delicious food, "It's not that my mother's sweater is torn, I will use it to practice my hands, and it is very good to sew." ”
Wang Guizhi is not modest, she also continued to say proudly: "In addition to sewing some small patterns, I have also learned a lot of things? ”
When Fan Xiuman heard Wang Guizhi's words, she nodded again and again and said, "Yes, my daughter's cooking is delicious, better than what I cook in a small restaurant, and I want her to teach me." ”
"It's so delicious? Xiuman will have to invite us to your house for dinner next time." ”
"That's it, we also want to try the food cooked by Guizhi!"
............
Everyone said a word, and the atmosphere suddenly became lively.
Wang Guizhi has very good eyes and knows how to be a person, and when he saw that the atmosphere was harmonious, he began to help everyone busy.
"Fourth aunt, I'll braid it for you," Wang Guizhi saw the fourth aunt and hurriedly said, "I'm also very good at braiding!"
"Okay, I'm here to see what tricks you can make up for me," Fan Zhuzhu, the fourth elder of the Fan family, said with a smile, "If you can't make it up, you won't be allowed to leave today!"
Fan Pearl has soft and long hair, and she often finds it troublesome to take care of, so she just ties a very ordinary ponytail. Wang Guizhi stared at Fan Zhu's long hair for a long time.
She looked at Fan Zhuzhu's hair, and couldn't help but think of her own daughter Li Shanyue in her previous life. Li Shanyue also has thick long hair, and Wang Guizhi wants to dress Li Shanyue beautifully, so she also learned a lot of braiding methods. It's just that when Li Shanyue grew older, she didn't let Wang Guizhi touch her hair.
This can be regarded as a regret of Wang Guizhi.
It just so happened that Wang Guizhi had some gadgets in her hand, so she decided to help Fan Pearl weave a flower basket. Anyway, Fan Pearl is young, and she doesn't violate the harmony of making up.
Wang Guizhi divided Fan Pearl's ponytail into two strands, first branching out from the right side of her hair and began to weave it. She kept braiding it to the left side and making a full circle, and when she combed it to the left, she pulled her hair up again, and when she braided it, her hair didn't fit. Eventually, she braided her hair all the way to the ends, then wrapped it around and fastened it with a small black clip.
Wang Guizhi also brought a white petal hairpin, so she pinned the clip on.
When everyone saw it, they boasted: "This braid is so beautiful!"
"I've never seen this kind of braided hair, teach me quickly, I'll go back and weave this kind of ...... for my daughter."
Wang Guizhi handed the small mirror to Fan Pearl's hand, and Fan Pearl looked through the mirror, although she couldn't see the back of her head, she could still see the braided hair next to her. I saw the person in the mirror, his hair was neatly tied up, and he looked a little more vigorous.
"Guizhi, your craftsmanship is awesome! It's really good-looking!" Fan Pearl had never seen herself like this, she felt that this hair was very beautiful, and she looked a lot younger.
When everyone saw it, they praised one after another.
"This braid looks so good!"
"I've never seen this kind of braided hair, teach me quickly, I'll go back and weave this kind of ...... for my daughter."
Wang Guizhi was not annoyed, ran over to teach them to coil their hair, and also gave everyone a different shape.
However, the third Fan Qiaohe saw that everyone was looking at Wang Guizhi, thinking that she was usually the object of their envy, she felt very uncomfortable for a while, she looked at Wang Guizhi from the side, and said sourly: "Wang Guizhi, you have this skill, what kind of university do you go to? Isn't it good to be a tailor or a barber?"
Wang Guizhi was still helping others with their hair, and for a while she didn't hear what was wrong with her words: "Sewing and braiding are just my hobbies, and it's better to go to college, where I can learn a lot! Not to mention that my mother wants me to go to school." ”
"Ouch, Xiuman is you," Fan Qiaohe was still angry, "Look at how many women have gone to college these days? After this college, don't you have to marry and teach children? Why waste that little tuition?"
"It's good to go to college, don't be sour in the third child. ”
"That's right, how honorable it is to go to college!
A few people with good hair are all helping Wang Guizhi speak.
Only then did Wang Guizhi hear that something was wrong with Fan Qiaohe's words, and she thought that she had snubbed her. Wang Guizhi doesn't like Fan Qiaohe very much, and she still remembers the last time she borrowed money. But now Wang Guizhi doesn't want to quarrel with her, ruining the harmonious atmosphere here.
"Third aunt, I'll also help you get your hair," Wang Guizhi said with a smile to Fan Qiaohe, "I guarantee that it looks better than others." ”
Fan Qiaohe was just told by someone else, and she was very unconvinced. After listening to Wang Guizhi's words, he said disdainfully: "Don't help me get my hair, I'm a serious person." ”
As a result, as soon as her words came out, everyone who was still talking and laughing just now immediately stopped talking, and all turned their eyes to Fan Qiaohe, who only cared about talking about cool things.
It turned out that everyone here asked Wang Guizhi to help him do his hair.
And Fan Qiaohe said lightly, "Don't help me with my hair, I'm a serious person", which directly offended all of them.
Could it be that they asked Wang Guizhi to help with her hair, they are not serious people?
Fan Pearl was not happy, she was young and vigorous, unlike a few other people who didn't make trouble, and directly aimed the muzzle of the gun at Fan Qiaohe: "Fan Qiaohe, what do you mean?
"Qinggao, where did I hit it?" Hearing Fan Pearl say about himself, Fan Qiaohe was not happy at that time, and the two of them began to argue, "You don't look at what your hair looks like, how old you are, you don't know any shame at all, I don't know where you came from!"
Fan Qiaohe's mouth is also very poisonous and smelly.
"Shameless?" Fan Pearl only felt ridiculous when she heard her words, "I think you are the one who is shameless! Since you went to the grave, what have you helped you with? Push all the work to us yourself, stay aside and blow the wind and cool down, your share of work is still done by Sister Xiuman! Now that we are chattering, you are sour again? Guizhi is the youngest of us, and she knows how to help, do you deserve to say that you are not ashamed?"
Fan Qiaohe thought that Fan Pearl was deliberately holding Fan Xiuman, and when she came to tell herself, she deliberately said: "Hmph, I won't tell you, there are many of you, and I will be alone." It's really whoever has a lot of money to follow whomever it is, and it doesn't matter at all. ”
Fan Xiuman originally wanted to persuade him, but as soon as he heard Fan Qiaohe's words, why didn't he do anything, and the fire burned on himself?
She kindly helped Fan Qiaohe do the work, without saying a word of thanks, and was complained?
"Fan Qiaohe, what do you mean by who has money with whom?" Fan Xiuman began to question Fan Qiaohe, "What do you mean?
Fan Xiuman thought of what happened last time again, and was angry again: "I have money and I will spend it, my family can't just give you all the family property just because I don't have children! I can spend my own money on whoever I want, and it's not your turn to point fingers!"
The more she talked, the more angry she became, the more she felt that what happened last time made her disgusting, Fan Xiuman shouted directly: "Guizhi, let's go home directly, it's really disappointing to have this kind of person." ”
Wang Guizhi knew that Fan Xiuman was angry, and she could only soothe her mother's anger: "Mom, don't be angry, don't be impulsive, it's hard to get together with others." ”
Fan Qiaohe, who was speechless by Fan Xiuman, became angry when she saw Wang Guizhi.
If it weren't for this kid, would he be pointed at here?
Thinking so, she threw her anger on Wang Guizhi's head: "Wang Guizhi, what kind of good person are you pretending to be? If it weren't for you, would we quarrel?"
Before Wang Guizhi could speak, Fan Xiuman was eager to protect the calf, and stepped forward and slapped Fan Qiaohe directly.
The sound of "pop" is very crisp.
Everyone couldn't believe their eyes, is this still the docile Fan Xiuman who has no temper?
Fan Xiuman glanced coldly at Fan Qiaohe, who was covering her face, pulled Wang Guizhi and left.
This time, no one stopped them.
