On the morning of the third day of the first lunar month, Fang Xiaoshi packed up the gifts and urged Cao Yuyi:

"Brother, are you ready?"

"It's going to be right away. Cao Yuyi replied in the room.

"Grinding like a woman. Fang Xiaoshi muttered through his door. The door was pulled open.

"What am I rubbing? I'm just shaving, you can't measure me by your standards, you don't even use skin care products like a woman, you're really rare!"

"Brother, you dislike me!" Fang Xiaoshi curled his lips and said very unhappily. Cao Yuyi couldn't help but smile:

"Where do I mean to laugh at you? You are not picky eaters, you don't need to wear makeup, and you can do housework, how easy it is to raise a girl like you! I am proud to have a sister like you, how can I laugh at you?"

"I've only now found out that the Black Ink Nearer is too reasonable, you have been with Yang Kaihuai for a few days, and now your ability to flicker is almost the same as his. ”

"Okay! If you want to say that I fooled you, then I should fool you! Yang Kaihuai is only one year younger than me, eleven years older than you, don't always be a kid and call him. ”

"I'm going to call him that, even though he's older than me, but what he says and does is so childish that I see him like an underage child. ”

"But Xiao Shi, did you find it, this time Yang Kaihuai came to my house for the New Year, I found that he has matured a lot, and he also said that he founded the company, I listened to his planning, I feel that this kid is still quite business-minded, I have a hunch, he will definitely be able to break out of the roll call this time. ”

"Really, why didn't I see it? Let's not talk about this for now, let's get in the car first! Let's talk in the car, Auntie hates being late. ”

"Okay, have you packed all the gifts?"

"I put you in your car last night. Cao Yuyi nodded, and once again felt that Xiao Shi's ability to do things was much more stable than that of ordinary adults.

Auntie's house is in the countryside, not far away. As soon as they arrived at the head of the village, they saw their aunt waiting on the way to the entrance of the village. Fang Xiaoshi got out of the car early, ran to her aunt quickly, and threw herself into her arms, tears flowed out instantly:

"Auntie, I want to kill you. ”

"Xiao Shi, Auntie misses you too. The aunt helped her wipe the tears from her face and complained:

"No matter how old the silly girl is, she still cries her nose at every turn. Looking at the aunt's red eyes, Xiao Shi said with a smile:

"You're older than me, and you're embarrassed to talk about me. The aunt tapped her forehead and said:

"I haven't seen you for half a year, and your mouth is still so unforgiving. Cao Yuyi pressed the car horn and stretched his head out of the car window and shouted:

"Auntie, Xiao Shi, get in the car!"

"Brother, I'll be there before entering the village, I'll just walk back with my aunt, you can drive there first!" Cao Yuyi nodded and said:

"Okay then!" He also knew that Fang Xiaoshi had been very close to his aunt since he was a child, and his aunt, like their mother, never thought that Xiao Shi was picked up, but was prejudiced against her, and she treated Xiao Shi the same as her own daughter. After his father died, Xiao Shi was kicked out by him and stayed at his aunt's house for a few months. And he went home several times, Xiao Shi was afraid that he would drive her out again, so he fled to his aunt's house. Therefore, in addition to her mother and him, her aunt is Xiao Shi's closest relative, and it is no wonder that she is so excited when she sees her aunt.

Seeing that Cao Yuyi's car had driven away, the aunt looked at Fang Xiaoshi and asked:

"Your brother's partner is gone like that?"

"How can you go if you don't go like that?" Fang Xiaoshi said indifferently.

"You started calling me and saying that I was really happy that your brother brought him back, but the day before yesterday you called me again and said that the woman left on the morning of New Year's Day. I just felt like something wasn't right. ”

"What's wrong with this? Sister Luo brought a friend of mine with her, but that friend suddenly had to go back. That's why Sister Luo went back with him. ”

"That's even more wrong, she is Yuyi's object, how can she leave your brother early for the sake of another person?"

"Auntie, I know what you want to say, and I don't want to hide it from you, that person has nothing to do with Sister Luo, his target is me. ”

"Oh, Sister Luo let him go back alone, and she can also let you go back with him. I can't take her turn to go back with her!"

"I also thought about this thing, and I don't know what my brother thinks, so he agreed in one bite. I think the reason why Sister Luo wants to leave early is that she is not used to living in our house. ”

"I think so, too, so I don't think it's very likely that your brother and that woman will start a family. ”

"Auntie, don't talk nonsense, their relationship is good! Sister Luo was born in a big city and her family is not used to living in my house, what's so strange?"

"When you love someone, you can't help but accept the people around you and the environment around you. She wants to really love your brother, what is not used to the environment of your home, your home has always been clean under your tidying, and as far as your sensibility is concerned, she is in your house, you must be reluctant to let her help do a job. If she is not used to it, she has a problem in her heart. Auntie really knows herself, Fang Xiaoshi lowered her head and said unhappily:

"There must be something about my neglect, but I didn't think of it for a while. ”

"Forget it! As far as my sister is alive, she doesn't think about many things as well as you. It's definitely not yours to blame. ”

"I'm gone. My brother didn't pay much attention to it, Auntie, what do you care about?, is it to blame her for not coming to see your little old man?" Fang Xiaoshi said jokingly.

"The two people I want to see the most are you and your brother, as for the woman, as long as your brother likes it, she and your brother have become successful, and live a good life with your brother. She doesn't blame her for not coming to see me for the rest of her life. Auntie said leisurely.

"Auntie, I'll just make a joke, you take it seriously?"

"I didn't take it seriously, I just told the truth. Oops, patronizing and talking to you are at the doorstep. Auntie let go of Fang Xiaoshi's hand and walked briskly home. Cao Yuyi sat at the table in the living room alone.

"Yuyi, Auntie can't stand you so much, as soon as you came, she let you sit naked like this, and she didn't even pour you a glass of water. Cao Yuyi quickly stood up and said:

"It's okay Auntie, Xiao Shi burned porridge this morning, I'm not thirsty at all, you can talk to Xiao Shi about yours. Fang Xiaoshi glanced at the room, looked at her aunt in surprise and asked:

"Auntie, uncle, your son, and your in-laws?"

"They didn't know that you were coming, so they all went to his aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings. ”

"Then why don't you call and let us know in advance? ”

"I didn't tell my uncle about them, because they wanted to know that you wouldn't come or go. Fang Xiaoshi was even more surprised when he heard this:

"Why, Auntie? Isn't it more lively in the family? And I have prepared a gift for the second elder, and I want to give it to them myself! I also bought a gift for your Huzi. ”

"It is the same that I pass them on your behalf. Cao Yuyi also asked puzzledly:

"Auntie, why is this?" Auntie sat on the chair and lowered her head deeply, Fang Xiaoshi reacted, and hurriedly walked to her and squatted in front of her:

"Auntie, you have any unspeakable bitterness in your heart, it's not good to say it in front of them, just tell me and my brother!" Auntie trembled and cried suppressedly. Xiao Shi hurriedly handed her a napkin.

The aunt tried to control her emotions and stopped crying, she wiped the tears from her face and looked up. Cao Yuyi carefully handed her a cup of hot boiling water with both hands:

"Auntie, let's drink saliva first!" Seeing a pair of children squatting at her feet in front of her, Auntie's tears couldn't help but flow out again. With tears in her eyes, she said with a smile:

"Thanks to my sister, it's good to have you two sensible children. ”

"Auntie, although you are not much older than me, when my mother was seriously ill, you took out all the savings of the family at once, and I always respected you like my own mother because of your affection. Cao Yuyi looked at her and said emotionally. Auntie's tears flowed even harder.

"Do you know why I was so reluctant? 80,000 yuan, which I and your aunt and uncle have worked hard for so many years, and have accumulated little by little. Just for this money, my mother-in-law almost kicked me out of the house. But the main reason for doing this without hesitation at that time was that when I saw the painful appearance of my poor sister at that time, it was like seeing myself soon..."

"Auntie, don't say that, I don't allow you to curse yourself like this. Fang Xiaoshi lay on her aunt's knees, and interrupted her aunt's words loudly and with a crying tone. The aunt stroked her head with infinite affection, and then said leisurely:

"It's not that I'm cursing myself, it's that my family is already under a curse, and what I can't escape is something that girls can't escape. Your mom is the luckiest of all to live to be in her fifties. I saw the dead sisters, some of whom died in their teens, and between the ages of thirty and forty for my age were the most dead. ”

"Auntie, no, impossible, you are so kind, God will not be so cruel. Fang Xiaoshi suddenly thought of her mother's painful appearance of being tossed by the disease, and when she looked at her aunt who was in the prime of life in front of her, she couldn't help but cry.

"Xiao Shi, why are you crying, isn't Auntie sitting in front of us?" Cao Yuyi pulled Fang Xiaoshi, who was already lying on the ground, and persuaded him.

"I don't want my aunt to die, I don't want my aunt to die..." Cao Yuyi couldn't pull him up, he was a little angry, he leaned on Fang Xiaoshi's ear and whispered:

"Xiao Shi, didn't you say that you have to say auspicious words in the past few days of the New Year. You're squatting and crying at your aunt in the New Year's month, I think you really don't want your aunt to live well. As soon as he heard this, Fang Xiaoxiao stood up from the ground with a thud, and wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeve in a panic. Her coherent movements made both Aunt and Cao Yuyi look stupid.
