Chapter 229: Shameless Aunt
Dongfang Xiaofei couldn't remember how many turns he turned, in short, before it was dark, he rushed to Xia Yuyan's hometown, Yujing County, Montenegro City.
As soon as he entered the county, he was stunned by the backwardness of the county, a huge county seat, before it was dark, there were no pedestrians on both sides of the street, and the whole county showed a kind of depression. There are no particularly tall buildings, the tallest is only a six-story building, and it seems to have been built a few years ago.
"Yu Yan, it seems to be quite backward here. Seeing the city construction in front of him, Dongfang Xiaofei couldn't help asking.
"Yes, our Yujing County is a well-known poor county in the country, there are no big factories here, let alone big enterprises, so many people go out to work. ”
"Why aren't there any big companies? I see that there are so many mountains here, there must be mines and so on. ”
"There are a lot of mines, but they have all been sold to individuals by the government, and now 80% of the mountains in Yujing County are no longer owned by the government. ”
"How can this be? If you sell all the mountains to individuals, won't all the trees on the mountains be cut down?"
"Do you need to talk about it? You see that there are a few pieces of wood on the mountain now, and they are basically all about to be stolen, and now these are all replanted by the government later. ”
"Doesn't the government care?" asked Dongfang Xiaofei puzzled.
"Anyway, I don't care, but I have no choice but to listen to my father, the county magistrate in charge of forestry alone has changed several times, but no county magistrate can manage it. ”
Xia Yuyan looked at her hometown outside the window and said with emotion.
"How can this be? Don't the public security and forestry bureaus care?"
"Before they could arrest someone, they had already run away, and when these people left, they continued to steal, and they all had an inside line. ”
Hearing what Xia Yuyan said, Dongfang Xiaofei could only sigh.
The car quickly pulled into an old-fashioned neighborhood, turned a few corners, and stopped in front of an old-fashioned residential building.
"When I arrived, my house was in Unit 2 301. Xia Yuyan gently picked up the sleeping Dongfang Yinuo and said to Dongfang Xiaofei beside her.
Looking at the residential building in front of me, the walls had peeled off, and the windows were all old-fashioned wooden windows, with a few large black letters and strings of phone numbers sprayed on the walls.
It reads "Get a certificate!"
As soon as he got out of the car, Dongfang Xiaofei found a young man standing at the door of the building, and when he saw Dongfang Xiaofei and Xia Yuyan, he hurriedly took a few steps to greet him.
"Sister, you're back, our parents are waiting for you. After speaking, he took the suitcase in Dongfang Xiaofei's hand.
"You're brother-in-law, aren't you?"
Dongfang Xiaofei glanced at the young man in front of him, and at first glance, he looked a little similar to Xia Yuyan.
Dongfang Xiaofei smiled, "Yes, I'm Dongfang Xiaofei." ”
"I heard my sister always mention you, and my parents were so happy when they heard that you were coming back, they have been busy for the past two days. ”
"This is my brother Xia Yutian. ”
"Rainy day?" Dongfang Xiaofei was stunned.
"Hehe, my brother-in-law is right, it's because it has been raining heavily since I was born, so my father named me Xia Yutian. After saying that, he walked upstairs with his suitcase.
Dongfang Xiaofei Yile, this name is really interesting. But it's nice to hear.
This brother-in-law's mouth is really sweet, and he screams from his brother-in-law, it seems that he really can't treat this brother-in-law badly in the future.
Dongfang Xiaofei hugged Xiaonuo, and Xia Yuyan followed closely and walked upstairs.
Before I reached the third floor, I heard the sound of chirping from upstairs.
"Hey, my good niece, you're back, we're all looking forward to you, we're really looking forward to the stars and the moon, and finally looking forward to you, the rich man. ”
Dongfang Xiaofei looked at Xia Yuyan, not knowing who the woman standing at the door was dressed in a dirty and unforeign manner.
"This is my second aunt, who works in the county finance bureau. ”
Dongfang Xiaofei noticed that after Xia Yuyan saw this aunt, her face became ugly.
"Hello aunt, I'm Dongfang Xiaofei. ”
"Oh, it's Xiaofei, please come in, please come in, I've heard, you're a rich man, how about it, are you interested in investing in any projects with us? If so, you must find your aunt." As he spoke, he let Dongfang Xiaofei into the room. Xia Yuyan and Xia Yutian followed into the house without saying a word.
As soon as he entered the room, Dongfang Xiaofei was attracted by a huge calligraphy work hanging in the living room, on which only four simple characters were written: "Backbone is like gold!" The decoration in the house is the old-fashioned decoration of a few years ago, the walls have been a little blackened, there is a sofa and a coffee table in the living room, and opposite the sofa is a simple TV cabinet with an old-fashioned color TV set on it.
"It's Xiaofei here, old man, get up, Xiaofei is here. Dongfang Xiaofei saw a plainly dressed woman greet her.
"Xiaofei, this is my mother. ”
"Oh, good aunt!"
"Fool, why are you still called aunt?" Xia Yuyan twisted Dongfang Xiaofei's arm.
"Oh, yes, yes, Mom, good!"
When the woman saw Dongfang Xiaofei, she measured it carefully, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Okay, good, our family Yuyan, it's the right person. ”
Dongfang Xiaofei also took a closer look at Xia Yuyan's mother, she has no graceful figure, let alone a noble temperament, but it gives people a very simple and warm feeling, and she is a real person at first glance. The temples are a little white, some are slightly hunchbacked, and it seems that they have paid a lot for this family.
"Old man, this is our uncle, Dongfang Xiaofei. When the woman saw the man coming out of the bedroom, she hurried over and helped the man over.
Dongfang Xiaofei also hurriedly took a step forward and greeted him.
"Hello Dad! I'm Dongfang Xiaofei. ”
The man in front of him was not as energetic as Xia Yuyan's mother just now, and he obviously felt that he was recovering from a serious illness, his body seemed to be very weak, and he was not very stable when he walked. However, from the emaciated face, there was no trace of cowardice, but a little stubbornness.
"Ah, it's Xiaofei, I've always heard Yu Yan mention you, but it's the first time I've seen you...... Ahem......"
"Dad, you haven't fully recovered, don't get excited. Xia Yuyan next to her hurriedly walked over, held her father's arm, gently stroked her father's back, and said with concern.
"Ahem...... It's okay, Dad is happy to see you guys back. Ahem......"
"Yes, we're all looking forward to your return. Yu Yan's aunt hurriedly said next to her.
Xia Yuyan's father glanced at his sister, and there was a hint of displeasure in his eyes, "Second sister, aren't you in a hurry to accompany the director to dinner, the food at our house is not good, so I won't keep you." ”
"Old Xia!" Xia Yuyan's mother pulled her wife.
"Hehe, my brother is like this, it's okay, Yu Yan, do you know? Xia Yuyan's aunt said with an embarrassed smile.
"I think I'm here to ask for an account!" Yu Yan's father said hatefully.
"Wei Guo, you can't have no conscience, if it weren't for my sister helping you at a critical moment, would you be where you are today?" Xia Yuyan's aunt's face turned pale with anger.
"Second sister, don't be like Wei Guo, he has this temper, you don't know it. Yu Yan's mother said kindly.
Dongfang Xiaofei only then knew that Xia Yuyan's father was called Xia Weiguo.
"Excuse me, help us? ahem...... If it weren't for you, I would have been able to get to such a field today?" Xia Yuyan's father was a little excited.
"Forget it, anyway, we are all a family, don't talk about those unhappy, Xiaofei, I have to accompany our director to a dinner today, and when I have time tomorrow, the second aunt will invite you and Yu Yan to have a good meal alone." I'll go first. Xia Yuyan's aunt saw that her younger brother had some unfinished posture, and hurriedly said to Dongfang Xiaofei.
Dongfang Xiaofei smiled and didn't say yes, nor did he say no.
After Xia Yuyan's aunt left, Xia Weiguo calmed down his excitement. Several people sat on the sofa in the living room.
"Xiao Fei, let you see a smile!" Xia Weiguo said with a wry smile.
"It's okay Dad, don't be too excited, no matter what happens, now that Yu Yan and I are here, don't be afraid of anything. ”
Dongfang Xiaofei took a sip of the tea made by Yu Yan's father, which was a little bitter, and it looked like that kind of cheap tea.
"I'll tell you the truth, actually, ......."
Before Xia Weiguo could say anything else, Yu Yan's mother pulled Xia Weiguo, "Old Xia, don't mention the past, so as not to cause some trouble." ”
"What's there to be afraid of, don't we have Yu Yan and Xiaofei now? Besides, I'm afraid that I won't be able to say the good things they have done?" Xia Weiguo looked like a stubborn person, and if he didn't say it, he seemed very uncomfortable.
Yu Yan's mother saw that Xia Weiguo's stubborn temper came up, so she didn't say anything, and accompanied Xia Yuyan to the bedroom to see her grandson. Arnold was asleep, so everyone's voices were much quieter.
"Brother-in-law, my second aunt is responsible for my family's misery. Xia Yutian said softly beside him.
"Oh, what's going on?" Dongfang Xiaofei also wanted to hear why his father-in-law and brother-in-law hated his aunt and sister so much.
"This matter, I have to go back to more than ten years ago......" Xia Weiguo took a sip of tea and said thoughtfully, his thoughts seemed to have returned to more than ten years ago.
"At that time, Yu Yan and Yu Tian were still young, I worked in the forestry workstation, and although my life could not be said to be rich, it was quite passable. ”
"Yes, at that time, my family ate rice and white noodles, and many people were bud rice noodles. Xia Yutian continued beside him.
"Did something happen?" Dongfang Xiaofei took another sip of bitter tea and asked casually.
