Chapter Seventy-Three: Stop Talking
The little guy who grew up under the good education of the Lu family since he was a child, on the one hand, is not used to eating dishes from strangers, and on the other hand, he refuses out of politeness.
I can't help but feel a little awkward.
He smiled reluctantly at Xu Xia, who was overly enthusiastic.
"Grandma, the meal is almost over, let's divide the cake!" Xiao Qingqing realized that the little guy's mood was wrong, and quickly changed the topic.
Hearing Xiao Qingqing speak at this time, Xu Xia was suddenly unhappy and glanced at her.
The little guy nodded in agreement, Xu Xia suddenly smiled, "Okay, cut the cake, cut the cake-"
Xiao Cheng and Zhou Meng, who were watching this from the side, frowned unconsciously.
Xiao Cheng felt that they had teamed up to drive Wen Wen out of the house, but now Xu Xia likes this child so much, if she knows the truth, it will be tantamount to slapping herself in the mouth.
Zhou Meng thought more deeply than Xiao Cheng.
No matter how much the old lady likes boys, no matter how likable this guy is, he will not be able to do it to this extent - even his own granddaughter will be thrown aside.
This old lady is clearly doing it for her!
At the beginning, Zhou Meng relied on herself to be more open than warm, and tried her best to conceive Xiao Cheng's child, so she successfully got married.
But when the old lady saw that it was a girl, her face turned long, and she began to pick and choose from her. The bad things that Warmth experienced at the beginning, a piece of decline was piled on her head.
Isn't it just taking the opportunity to slap her sarcastically if he is deliberately being so kind to A-Ning now?
However, the thoughts of several people only turned in their minds, and it did not affect the two children at all.
The little guy handed the plastic cake knife to Xiao Qingqing.
Xiao Qingqing held the handle of the knife a little nervously and clumsily divided the cake into several pieces.
"A-Ning, you taste it first. ”
Xiao Qingqing handed the largest piece to the little guy first.
The little guy was visibly stunned.
There is a strict order for him to share the cake on his birthday.
Whoever is assigned first, who is distributed later, movements, etiquette, all of them must not be bad.
However, this should also mean that he is very important in Xiao Qingqing's heart, right?
The little guy tilted his head and smiled lightly, revealing two cute pear vortices.
Xiao Qingqing was stunned, and then subconsciously laughed.
The cake has a faint creamy aroma, but it smells slightly inferior to the little ones.
However, since it is Xiao Qingqing's intention......
He swallowed a large mouthful of cream.
The two children were eating happily outside, and Zhou Meng pushed and shoved, pulling Xiao Cheng to the room.
"Eh, slow down, what are you doing, our mother and children are still outside!" Xiao Cheng frowned impatiently, his face full of dissatisfaction with Zhou Meng
"I mean, let you hurry up and find a way to ask our mother for money!" Zhou Meng glared at him fiercely, "The family is almost unable to open the pot, and I also gave Qingqing a birthday, and Qingqing will pay tuition again soon......"
"It's not that you have to slap your swollen face and become fat, and send Qingqing to some aristocratic school, more than 8,000 yuan a month, nearly 100,000 yuan a year. All the money we earn is used to pay for tuition, so how can we have money to live?"
"Isn't it right for me to let my daughter receive a better education?" Zhou Meng's eyes widened, and she looked at Xiao Cheng incredulously, "You talk about conscience, I don't save money one day, raising children is already burning money." ”
"Just pretend!"
When it came to this, Xiao Cheng simply put on an "open and honest" posture, "The relief money given by our mother, which month didn't buy you clothes?
How good can an aristocratic school be? Isn't it just a place for a bunch of wealthy second ancestors to mess around?
"I-"
Zhou Meng was angry, sat on the side and gasped for breath, relieved for a while, and looked at Xiao Cheng again, "Xiao Cheng, why don't you say that you are incompetent!"
"In recent years, the price of pork has risen, your salary has been restored, and you can't afford to support your wife and children, are you still reasonable?"
"You women, all greedy for vanity, disgusted with poverty and love for rich, have the ability to find someone who can afford you!"
The voices of the two became louder and louder, and the topic gradually deviated from the normal track, obviously not planning to reason with each other, but simply venting their emotions.
There was only a door that was not well insulated, and the little guy and Xiao Qingqing listened to almost all the conversations between the two.
Xiao Qingqing just frowned, and then he didn't pay attention to it anymore and continued to chat with the little guy.
It seems that Xiao Qingqing has been accustomed to the quarrel between the two for a long time.
Xiao Qingqing's indifference to this matter made the little guy feel a little distressed.
The two men were still arguing.
The little guy was a little uneasy and wandered several times in a row. He hated the sound of quarrels, which seemed to contag such irritability and bring some unhappiness to his life.
Xu Xia obviously couldn't listen to it either, walked over on her slippers, slammed the door twice, and shouted inside, "Stop arguing!"
There was a sudden silence.
The little guy hung his head, and his heart was sullen.
This oppressive atmosphere, which occasionally erupted into terrible quarrels, took his breath away.
He took out the small mobile phone that Baba rewarded him, opened the text message interface, and pressed the button one by one to send a message to Nuan.
[Auntie, can you pick me up in advance?]
If it weren't for taking care of Xiao Qingqing's face, he would have left a long time ago.
He sighed, and when he raised his head again, he happened to meet the tears that flickered in Xiao Qingqing's eyes.
She is used to all this, but it doesn't mean that she can deal with it calmly, and she really shouldn't have heard anything.
After all, she is just a child, and two closest people arguing against each other is the last thing she wants to see.
After a long while, Xiao Cheng and Zhou Meng walked out, their backs to each other, their faces full of impatience.
"Mom, I'll tell you the truth, after today, there is no rice in the house, if you can't bear to let your granddaughter and son starve, then I have nothing to say. ”
Zhou Meng stuck his waist in his waist, looking confident.
Xu Xia sneered as if she had known that there would be such a thing, "Where do I have the money?
Hearing this, Zhou Meng opened his eyes disdainfully, "Don't pretend, didn't you let you sell the house in your hometown a long time ago?"
"You-"
The two were inseparable, Xiao Cheng only felt that his temples were "suddenly" jumping, and the more he got to this time, the more he missed the warmth that he had been obedient to him before.
It's a pity, it's a pity, why was he blind in the first place and got involved with this woman?
Xiao Qingqing clenched his fists tightly and bit his lip hard.
The originally moist lip flap faintly revealed a blood stain.
Under the table, the little guy secretly held Xiao Qingqing's hand.
In an instant, the little girl felt a little comforted as if she had stood up and been rubbed her head after a fall.
This strong contrast and gap made her no longer hold back the tears in her eyes, and she cried out loud "wow".
As if the mute button had been pressed all of a sudden, several people closed their mouths at the same time.
