Chapter 5: Going to My Aunt's House
It's May, and the weather is getting hotter. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The time for the interview is also getting closer.
In order to give me peace of mind for the interview, my aunt came today. "Let Ayu live in my house these days, just go shopping and relax on the street if you have nothing to do, the child can rest, I look very energetic during this time, and the interview is fast, just go directly when the time comes, don't delay, it's too far to run too far to the town in the tunzi and it's a waste of time." My aunt touched my head and said to my mother.
"Medium, if you want to go, you can go, but you have to say it, you can't make trouble for your aunt and uncle when you go, just be diligent when you go, help your aunt cook, sweep the floor, don't be the second uncle. Mom readily agreed.
At noon, my father and brother came back, and they ate together, and when I said this, my father nodded and instructed, and the matter was settled.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, my uncle came to pick up my aunt on his bicycle, and I followed.
My aunt's house was on the west side of the town, and I found my aunt's house in a neat row of brick houses, with a red gate and two lanterns hanging outside. There is a small courtyard in the middle, the lobby house in the middle, the kitchen and utility room on the left, and the three-piece house on the right.
"Ayu is here, come into the house. "My aunt's mother-in-law walked out of the lobby room, hehe, this old lady looks quite kind, and I don't know if I am really welcome or polite. As soon as I thought about it, I saw another chubby girl walk out, looking at 20, white but not good-looking, with thin eyebrows and hanging eyes, garlic nose, big mouth, wearing a green floral dress, tightly wrapped around her body. He wears bright red airtight sandals on his feet.
"Yo~ This is the big beauty of the art troupe?" the woman said sourly.
Yes, I know who she is, if that's right, it's my uncle's sister's daughter, it should be called Lulu, the one who was going to the art troupe to interview at the beginning, hehe, I glanced at it, just like this, the art troupe took a fancy to her, and it was the sun coming out.
I walked over without a hurry, "Thank you for the compliment, you are Sister Lulu, Sister Lulu is good." I smiled and greeted her.
My aunt looked at my bearing, a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and she nodded with satisfaction.
The old lady frowned and looked at me with displeasure.
"What do you say, don't you have long eyes? Which eye can you see that I'm your sister? I'm only 15, you're 16, Sister Jade. Lulu gritted her teeth and said viciously.
I was also surprised, after all, I don't know her well, and I don't usually pay attention to her, who knows how old she is, I know that my uncle and sister have a daughter, and I have never studied how old she is. But maybe the fat man looks mature.
"Hehe, I'm sorry, I didn't know beforehand, I never missed it, but this eye is not good, I see my sister as a sister, sister don't care. I laughed awkwardly and quickly explained, and I admit that I was a little nasty in my explanation. As soon as I came, I was dismounted, thinking I couldn't see it? Hmph, the tiger didn't show its power and I was a sick cat!
"Jade girl, you just came, you have to get along with Lulu well, you are a sister, you have to learn to let your sister and don't worry about her. The old lady was not salty or light.
"How can it, Ayu is the most obedient at home, and never likes to worry about others, Mom, you can rest assured. "My aunt was busy answering for me.
"Hmph, it's good to be obedient, just don't be the one who doesn't distinguish between five and four. The old lady pouted.
Uncle really couldn't stand it anymore, "Okay, Mom, you don't have to say a word, Ayu is tired when she first came, let's eat first, and let her rest early after eating." ”
didn't say anything more, entered the hall, set up the meal and began to eat, rice porridge with pickled cucumbers, and a plate of braised pork and steamed mixed noodles steamed buns.
"Lulu, eat more meat, it's to grow your body, I see that you have lost weight in the past two days. The old lady put a chopstick braised pork into Lulu's bowl.
"Well, Ayu also eat more, it's hard to come here, you don't usually eat meat at home, I guess you're tired of eating pickles, you eat too." The old lady said with a sharp voice.
Damn, what's going on with this old lady, she doesn't stop eating, it's like who hasn't eaten meat, although the countryside is poor, but the food is not necessarily worse than in the town, and the family often eats meat. It's as if I've never eaten meat.
Aunt's face also changed, this old lady is really good at finding trouble, and she will bury people if she has nothing to do, looking at it to say Ayu, in fact, she is not turning around and saying that I am not worthy of her son. Why didn't you say it at the beginning, but now you are searching for people there.
I hurriedly said, "Grandma, you eat, I always eat at home, I'm a little tired, grandma eats more to replenish my body, I'll eat some pickled cucumbers very well, it's not easy to gain weight when appetizing, and now I pay attention to maintaining my figure." This meat is so fat, it will be easy to gain weight, and it seems that if you eat too much, you will be prone to high blood pressure. ”
The old lady spit out a mouthful of meat in her throat, nor did she swallow it. God knows she's high blood pressure.
Lulu looked at herself and then at me, snorted and drank the soup, put down the bowl and said, "I'm full." With that, he went out.
"Hey~ That's enough? The old lady said busily.
"Leave me alone, I'll go shopping. I'll be back in a moment. After saying that, she walked away without looking back.
I chewed and ate slowly, put down the bowl and said, "Auntie, I'm going back to the house, I'll sleep in a while, and I won't go out today." ”
"Well, go ahead. ”
I went into the house that my aunt had cleaned up for me, the house was simple but very clean, just a bed and a table, and the bed was covered with a sun-dried quilt, and my aunt knew that I loved cleanliness, and the quilts were all new. My heart warms.
The tattered clothes I wore today, a small floral jacket with black pants, and torn leather shoes on my feet.
I opened my luggage, and there were my new clothes and underwear bra, as well as my own "sanitary napkins", which were no longer made of grass and wood ash, but replaced with cotton, as well as my shoes, notebook and pen, and money with me.
I estimated that once the interview was successful, it would be time to go to the art troupe, and I should join the army, and I didn't know if I could go home, so I simply brought everything I wanted to bring.
Wait until tomorrow to go shopping on the street to see if there is anything missing, and I can rest assured that I have bought all of them.
……
The next day, I woke up early.
Today I wore that long red dress, red sandals on my feet, my hair was loose, I braided the broken hair on both sides, and combed my princess hair.
My aunt complimented me on my outfit, and I was very happy.
Jiantong's cousin's surprised expression when he saw me in the morning, and Lulu's shocked and jealous look when he saw me, made me understand that my dress was successful.
"I don't know what to do with all the bells and whistles that I dress up all day. The old lady said sourly disdainfully.
"Grandma, how beautiful Ayu is today, it's fancy and decent. "Jiantong cousin is busy talking to me.
I smiled gratefully at my cousin.
