Chapter 37: Whose Fault Is It
The ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and the Li family in Huangniping is a small surname, and it is okay for their own people to fight behind closed doors, but they have always been united to the outside world. What the aunt did, after arguing all night, was ordered by several cousins to shut up all the concubines and children, and Li Jiaming's father also went to beg his uncle to keep it secret. This is also the helplessness of reality, the Li family has only seven families and more than 30 people in Chongxiang. If you let the local family with the surname see the joke again, it will be difficult for these girls and sisters to marry in the future, and they can't let them (they) go back to Xiushui to find a partner, right?
The unreasonable reading boy and sister-in-law came back, and Li Jiade, as usual, took the book to find the little cousin after eating and taking a shower to see if there was anything he didn't understand this week. The aunt who was standing at the door of the kitchen made an exception and scolded this little son who was so precious to her.
"Jiade, if you dare to go out of this door, I will break your feet!"
Li Jiade was also stubborn, and thought that his mother had made another mistake in being cautious, so he paused a little and continued to walk forward. Last time, the eldest sister asked him to tutor his little cousin, but his mother stopped him, and she didn't want to think that if there was no help from his uncles over the years, his four brothers would be able to read?
The aunt who was poked in the backbone by her uncle and concubine for a few days felt uncomfortable, and when she saw that her favorite youngest son couldn't get along with her, she couldn't help but feel sad from her heart, and sat on the threshold and cried.
"What kind of sin did I create in my previous life, giving birth to a white-eyed wolf with no conscience......"
It is said that mother and son are heart-to-heart, and no matter how monster Li Jiade is, he is also raised by his mother's father. As soon as she cried, he immediately turned around and came back, followed the third brother who was squatting on the ground to comfort his mother, and helped the weeping aunt into the room.
Hearing the aunt's crying, the eldest sister who was boiling water in the kitchen ran out to see the excitement, and as soon as she showed a smiling face, her ears were twisted by the second aunt.
"Laugh, you still have a smile, you conscienceless white-eyed wolf!"
The sharp pain in her ears made the pungent eldest sister hurriedly beg for mercy, and the second aunt twisted her ears and dragged her into the kitchen before letting go, and scolded in a low voice: "Is it okay to know something?"
"What's wrong?"
The fourth aunt, who was boiling water, sighed and whispered: "Big sister, the matter of adults, what is the fun of your little sister? After the New Year, go out to work with us, if this character can't be changed, you will suffer in the factory in the future!"
The second aunt also sighed beside her, and scolded in a low voice: "People who are almost eighteen years old are not as sensible as a twelve-year-old man in Jiaming, and the eldest five or six years old have lived to dogs!"
"Why?"
No, the brothers turn against each other, and the final responsibility will fall on the concubine's head. It's like the aunt feeding the pig water in advance, and the uncle really doesn't know, but even the fourth uncle, who is already cold to him, only targets the aunt and puts the big hat that destroys the brother's feelings on the aunt's head.
That night, if it weren't for the eldest sister who couldn't hold her breath and provoked trouble, the fourth uncle would have endured that breath, quarreled and couldn't get the money back, why bother making a fuss about the scandal in the family?
Just as Li Jiaming regarded his eldest sister as his mother and sister, the fourth uncle also regarded the second aunt who had taken care of him for many years as his sister-in-law and mother, so the fourth aunt also regarded the eldest sister as a younger sister, not a niece. Of course, the now precocious Li Jiaming is not only a nephew in the eyes of the fourth aunt, but a monster. No, it should be said that he is a genius, a genius who is not the same as Jiade, a genius who is very cunning, very precocious, and very humane.
"Auntie is hateful, but also very pitiful, do you know? In the future, learn from Jiaming, you always scold him for being a white-eyed wolf and a slippery ghost, he is a really sensible man. You see that no matter how his aunt gives him a face, when he sees her, he still calls her 'aunt', that is, he knows that she is pitiful. ”
"How so?"
The eldest sister never thought so, in her eyes, the uncle is a hypocritical person, and the aunt is the most hateful!
Hypocrisy? It is indeed hypocritical, and the scheming is terrifying, the fourth aunt smiled disdainfully, and whispered: "Eldest sister, have you heard the eldest aunt and the uncle quarrel?"
It's really not, since the eldest sister was sensible, she didn't listen to the aunt and the uncle, but the uncle sometimes scolded the aunt who quarreled with the concubine.
"yes?"
The eldest sister looked at the fourth aunt in disbelief and whispered, "Fourth aunt, what do you mean?"
The fourth aunt smiled, touched the head of the eldest sister who was as tall as herself, and said impatiently: "It's good to know, put it in your stomach and don't say it, next time you will have a long memory."
After the Chinese New Year, when you go out to work with us, you must learn to restrain your temper, reason with others calmly, and don't quarrel with others at every turn. Quarreling will not solve the problem, even if you win the quarrel, you will actually lose, because you are a domineering person in the eyes of others, not a person who is easy to get along with. ”
The eldest sister thought about it, this is really the truth, the eldest aunt won the fourth uncle, but everyone despised her, and couldn't help but admire: "Fourth aunt, you know so much!"
The fourth aunt amused the eldest sister, "Gegege, if you stay outside for a few years, you will also learn." If you want to say that you know a lot, Jia Mingcai is really a smart person, a twelve-year-old man, I don't know how to grow that brain, not only can read, but also understand the sophistication of human feelings! It seems that he is right, reading can understand things. If you have nothing to do in the future, you will read more books, don't be like your fourth uncle, read martial arts novels every day, but you haven't learned anything useful. ”
As soon as the fourth aunt mentioned Li Jiaming, the eldest sister's eyebrows rose, and she turned around and left, "This slippery ghost with no conscience!"
When the eldest sister walked to Li Jiaming's room, he was handing out candy to the three little ones, complimenting and encouraging them by the way.
"The most commendable thing this time is Sister Man, who finally got rid of her sloppy problem, and knows that she has to check it twice after her homework is done!
"Hey", the delicate Manmei smiled like a flower, took two cents and five cents a piece of 'snow pine' candy and peeled it off, and ate it very sweetly. Jin Mei is also the same as the full sister, only the little sister who lost her front teeth peeled off the candy paper, bit half of it and stuffed it into her brother's mouth as before, and now the three little ones make fewer and fewer mistakes, and the number of beatings is getting less and less, and the brother and sister are as close as before.
The eldest sister standing at the door saw Li Jiaming eating the candy that came out of the little sister's mouth, and her face showed a disgusting look, "Hey, pickled (dirty) isn't it?"
Li Jiaming turned his head to look at it, and said 'hehe' to the eldest sister, the sugar spit out of the younger sister's mouth was not only not dirty, but also revealed the warmth of family affection. For the sake of this warmth, he is willing to pay any price.
"Still laughing, still laughing! It's not that it's gone, I can't take it myself if I want to eat it, and I still eat Wen Mei spit it out!"
"You don't understand", Li Jiaming smiled, signaling that the three little ones can go to watch TV, as long as they remember to go to bed on time.
"I don't understand?"
Li Jiaming's words made the eldest sister stunned, remembering what the fourth aunt said to her just now. After being silent for a while, the eldest sister said gloomily: "Jiaming, tell me, what am I wrong? On the eve of the big day, how do you know that the fourth uncle will definitely quarrel with the eldest aunt? In the past, no matter how much the fourth uncle had opinions about the uncle, he kept it in his heart and did not quarrel. ”
'Hey', Li Jiaming sighed, didn't answer directly, but talked about the half of the candy that the little sister gave her to eat, and pulled Teacher Wang out again as a shield. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, I don't want to be a monster, and I can't be a monster like the fourth brother, so I can only borrow the mouth of an adult to say my own truth.
"Have you ever teased a kitten? No matter how docile the kitten, as long as you move it to eat, the hair on its body will immediately stand up and make a warning sound of 'meow', Mr. Wang said that this is called food protection. Teacher Wang also said that children, like kittens, also know how to protect food. If there is no adult teaching or coercion, have you seen how many children are willing to take the initiative to share what they like to eat with others? I don't know about others, anyway, I used to have delicious food, at most for yes (dad) and sister, and no one else gave it.
My little sister has something delicious and is willing to take the initiative to share it with me, which is close to me, I am too late to be happy, how can I care if there is her saliva on it?"
After Li Jiaming's explanation, the eldest sister with thick nerves suddenly remembered that when Sanyan and Jiade were in elementary school in the past, they were also two brothers who ate sugar separately. It's my three sisters, who have always let their two sisters go, and they often quarrel over who eats more and who eats less.
Hey, the fourth brother and the third brother are introverts like them, they like to take everything to heart, if you don't pay close attention, it's hard to see their character. During the summer vacation, the aunt was not allowed to climb the tree by herself, so the fourth brother took the initiative to pick all the willow branches and Lingxiao flowers, and waited for him to take his two sisters. It's just that the fourth brother's love for his younger siblings is covered by his light, even he will only remember his monster-like dazzling, and ignore his warm side.
Different from Li Jiaming's secret sigh, the eldest sister is very curious, why did this little guy completely look like a little adult after he fell, not only was he naughty, but he was more sensible than herself?
This, this? Changing the topic didn't work, and the same trouble came again, but last time it was the fourth brother's monster, and this time it was the eldest sister. Li Jiaming habitually scratched his head, so he had to use a new lie to round it up.
"Eldest sister, the day I woke up, little sister ......"
The best lie is that the truth and falsehood are mixed together, and they deceive together with themselves, not to mention that Li Jiaming already feels guilty about his father and little sister, and his eyes are red when he talks about it.
"Eldest sister, was I too ignorant before?"
Li Jiaming's eyes were red when he spoke, and the eldest sister felt uncomfortable, rubbing his head and saying sourly: "It's okay now, we are also sensible!"
After sighing at her younger brother's sensibility, the eldest sister said gloomily: "Mingya, isn't the eldest sister stupid?"
Luckily, Li Jiaming is proud that he can have an uncle who is more tolerant and rational than ordinary people, and he is also proud of his cleverness. If the eldest sister had asked this that night, Li Jiaming would have been really speechless.
"No, my uncle said, thanks to you that night. If you don't provoke it, the fourth uncle will keep it in his heart. After a long time, it will become a thorn in his heart. Now that they have a quarrel, the fourth uncle's evil breath will come out, and the aunt will have some scruples about doing such a thing in the future. That's a good thing!"
"Really?"
"Really!"
The eldest sister hesitated, could it be that the fourth aunt was wrong?
What the fourth aunt said is not wrong, quarreling can't solve the problem, but it can expose the problem. The reason why the eldest aunt dared to do that was because the second uncle and the fourth uncle both felt that the ugliness of the family should not be publicized, and every time they turned a big thing into a small thing and a small thing. This time, the fourth uncle made a big fuss, although he didn't get the money back, but he made the aunt lose face, and she wouldn't dare to treat him as a fool in the future.
Of course, it also includes the uncle, who would believe it if the uncle didn't know about it at all?
Li Jiaming has always believed that many of the aunt's contemptible bad things have the shadow of the uncle behind them. It's just that the lame uncle has a scheming and can speak well, so the poor aunt carried the black pot.
"Eldest sister, my maternal uncle also said, 'A quarrel is not necessarily a bad thing, and a group of harmony is not necessarily a good thing'. If a family is polite, it is the most terrible, because everyone treats each other as outsiders. ”
"Why is this happening?"
The eldest sister felt that there was a fight in her brain, what the fourth aunt said made sense, and what Jiaming's maternal uncle said seemed to make sense, so who was right?
