Chapter 383: Conflict
When Wu Minqi came up with Jiang Feng's freshly drawn yam, he felt that the atmosphere was a little delicate.
Although the four of them seemed to be eating, Jiang Zaide and Jiang Shoucheng were eating with relish and could be ignored, and the two sisters Ji Yue and Ji Xia, who were both drinking porridge, looked a little weird.
The two sisters didn't pick up vegetables, and they kept drinking porridge in silence.
"Pull the shredded yam, eat it while it's hot. Wu Minqi brought the silk yam to the table, greeted, and sat down next to Ji Xue.
When Ji Xue saw Wu Minqi coming up, she thought that she had been eating for too long, so she hurriedly picked up the bowl and was about to pour the eight-treasure porridge into her mouth.
"It's just opened now, and there are no customers, so I'll come up to eat first if I'm fine. Axue, you don't have to rush, eat slowly. Is it because these dishes are not appetizing? I don't think your sister eats much. Wu Minqi asked.
Not only did she not eat much vegetables, Wu Minqi did not see any soup and bones on Ji Xia's plate, and she even suspected that Ji Xia had not eaten vegetables at all.
"Xia Xia is afraid of life, maybe embarrassed. Ji Xue glanced at Ji Xia, who was expressionless, and asked softly, "Xiaxia, don't you like to eat sweets the most?" ”
Ji Xia still didn't speak.
Ji Xue took her as a default, gave Ji Xia a chopstick to pull out the yam, and told her to be careful not to burn her tongue when eating.
When Wu Minqi came up, Ji Xia was actually almost full, so she just drank the porridge in the bowl and ate the shredded yam that Ji Xuejiao gave her just now, put down her chopsticks, and continued to sit in place in a daze with her head bowed silently.
Wu Minqi didn't move her chopsticks much, only drank a small half bowl of eight-treasure porridge, after all, she had to eat another bowl of noodles made by Jiang Feng when she went home at night, and she just had to make a base for dinner.
If it weren't for Ji Xue coming back today, Wu Minqi wouldn't even drink porridge at night.
"Ah Xue, wait a minute, what should your sister do? Do you want to send it back first? Or let her stay here, or I will go and get a tablet for her to play with?" Wu Minqi asked.
"She'......"
"I can help. Ji Xia suddenly raised his head and said loudly, his voice was clear but a little hoarse, probably because he hadn't spoken loudly for a long time.
"How can you help?" Ji Xue asked rhetorically.
"I can sweep the floor, wipe the table, and I can chop vegetables. Ji Xia raised her head, which allowed Wu Minqi to see her appearance clearly.
Danfeng eyes, willow eyebrows.
The first thing Wu Minqi thought of was "a pair of Danfeng triangular eyes, two curved willow leaves hanging eyebrows." ”
It's just that Wang Xifeng is face is slightly revealed, and his lips are not smiling, but Ji Xia is a wooden face, not only has no expression on his face, but even his eyes do not fluctuate, just like a pool of calm stagnant water, throwing a stone into it can only set off a few insignificant ripples.
In terms of Wu Minqi's aesthetics, Ji Xia is the kind of appearance she likes very much.
The facial features are deep, angular, and even sharp, with hair longer than the doll placed in the window of a department store, and a face that is indifferent and even indifferent, as if she can put on a silver helmet and ride a horse to kill the enemy in the next second, just like the female general painted in the comics.
With such a distinctive and unique face, combined with Ji Xia's miserable results, if she fights two more times at school, she will be a little more rebellious, which is quite in line with her bad girl's personality.
"Don't be willful, everyone has their own job here. Sweeping the floor, wiping the table, and chopping vegetables are all done, and I'll send you back now. "Monsoon slopes.
"Then, staying in your room and doing nothing is like staying at school and at home, being a waste that only eats and doesn't do?" Ji Xia looked at Ji Xue.
"Then I want to find a way to find you a college student tutor, there is no tutor in the town, I will help you find it here, you stay at home and study hard, I asked Teacher Fang and he said that you can find a way to let you take the high school entrance examination again. You just stay at home and study hard, and then prepare for next year's high school entrance examination, get into a high school, and then go to university and find a good job. You won't be as fortunate as me, and you can live your life in peace. ”
Ji Xia listened to Ji Xue's words, and only felt irritable like never before.
She has to hear this many times a year, listening to Ji Xue, listening to her mother, listening to her grandmother, and even listening to her aunt. Listen to them over and over again, putting their hopes, their thoughts, their love all on their own.
"Xia Xia, your sister has been dragged down by me and your father in this life, your parents are useless, they are all wastes, and your sister can only do this in this life for the sake of our two burdens. We are the only one in our family, your sister is so tired and miserable outside, it is all for you, you must study hard, get a good university, find a good job, you must be worthy of your sister's hardship for so many years. ”
"Xia Xia, is Xiaoxue not coming back again in the Mid-Autumn Festival this year? Alas, it's really hard for Xiaoxue, this child, Xia Xia, you must study hard, and come back to make your grandmother happy when you take the university exam in the future. As long as you are well, grandma will be happy. ”
"Xia Xia, I heard your mother say that you got punished for fighting with someone at school? Why are you so uneasy about this kid, your sister is so fortunate outside, and you let her worry less. Your uncle went to school to find a teacher, you can't do this again in the future, your aunt knows that you are not a bad boy, but you should be sensible when you are so old, we all expect you to be admitted to a good university in the future, don't let your parents and your sister down. ”
"Summer ......"
"Xia Xia. ”
Ji Xia clenched his fists.
It's been like this every time, and it's always been like this.
Their family is no longer a normal family, and their family will not be a normal family anymore. But it was as if as long as she could live the way they wanted her to be, and live according to the route they had planned, their family would be happy.
How can it be.
How can there be a normal person with high debts, how can there be a normal family's father who lies in bed all day long and can only wait for death, how can there be a normal family's mother with gray hair and tears all day long, how can there be a normal family's sister who goes out to work before finishing junior high school, how can there be a normal family's sister who is pointed at and scolded by her own grandmother, and the broom star that should be thrown away when she was born.
Their family has long been abnormal, why does everyone want her to live a normal life.
"Do you think it's possible?" Ji Xia looked at Ji Xue, trying to shake her awake and tell her to stop dreaming.
"Is our family rich? The high school in our town can't produce a few college students a year, let alone my grades, do you really think I can be admitted to college?"
Ji Xue was stunned.
"Xia Xia, you just need to ......" Ji Xue wanted to say to Ji Xia, as long as you work hard, you will definitely be able to.
But she couldn't say it.
It's as if the bubble-like fantasy she has been trying to weave for so many years has finally been punctured by Ji Xia.
Ji Xia has grown up.
I'm starting to have my own ideas.
It's time for her to face reality, too.
Their family has never been an ordinary family, it used to be, but it hasn't been since ten years ago. It is impossible for her and Ji Xia to live an ordinary life, at least not now.
The shredded yam in Jiang Zaide and Jiang Shoucheng's mouths had been swallowed for at least half a minute.
They thought that they were just picking up people, having a meal, and improving the food, but they didn't expect that they would already eat before they were full.
Their expressions now are almost exactly the same as those when Jiang Feng and the old man ate Jiang Weiming's old melons during the Chinese New Year.
Unaware and afraid to speak.
"Sister, stop dreaming, it's impossible. Ji Xia looked at Ji Xue, "I can't live a normal life." ”
Wu Minqi, who also eats melons and eats support: ......
Although she has indeed eaten a lot of melons behind her back over the years, it is indeed a little embarrassing to eat this melon that was suddenly forced into her mouth today.
"Ah Xue, why don't you go home first and accompany your sister to have a good chat with her. Wu Minqi proposed.
"But I ......"
"It's okay, you go back first, we're busy in the back kitchen. Wu Minqi smiled, "Feng Feng and I will come to you after work at night." ”
Wu Minqi glanced at Ji Xia and gave her a gentle smile: "Reading may be the most normal and safest way, but it has never been the only way. I also dropped out of college this year because I had better options for me. ”
"But first you have to know what you want to do, go back and talk to your sister well, Ah Xue just won't say, but she really cares about you, and those of us who are colleagues can see it. ”
"I'll go down first. Wu Minqi waved at the two sisters.
