"What should I do then?" Su Si looked at Su Yan again and asked, "Second brother, why don't you go?" Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info”
Su Yan glanced at Su Si with an unkind look, pondered for a moment, and said, "Eat first." ”
"Also, let's take a look at my sister's ...... first"
The Su brothers were still a little apprehensive, after all, their sister didn't want to recognize them before, and Su Ci didn't say a word.
So, with a nervous mood, the brothers of the Su family brought the cooked rice to the table.
After Xiao Jiu washed up, he walked around the yard with his hands behind his back like an old cadre, and while listening to the "conspiracy" of the Su family brothers in the stove room, he pursed his lips and smiled.
Yan Xi took the time to look at his little daughter-in-law, and then looked at the stove room, thinking that when he returned to Beijing this time, Xiao Jiu's identity could not be hidden.
The seventeen-year-old girl is already a big girl, Xiao Jiu's height has not grown anymore, but the rest of the place is still slowly developing, like a peach about to ripen, exuding an attractive sweetness.
Yan Xi has become more and more impatient recently, fortunately, he is in a hurry, he can still distinguish the occasion clearly, and he has not done anything to lose face.
"It's time to eat. Su Yan stood in front of the door of the hall and looked at Xiao Jiu with a straight gaze.
Xiao Jiu turned his head, squinted and smiled, "Got it." ”
Without waiting for Su Yan's reaction, she looked at Yan Xi again, "You two hurry up and wash your hands and eat." ”
Yan Xi brought the washed bitter herbs to the stove room, and immediately came out to fetch water, and after washing his hands with Xiao Chen, he and Xiao Jiu entered the hall together.
The Xiao family used to eat, and there were only three people, but later there was more Yan Xi, and Xiao Jiu didn't feel crowded, but as soon as he entered the door today, he saw that the six brothers of the Su family were all standing there, and he only felt that the pressure was all heads, and the hall was suddenly much smaller.
The old god of Su Ci was sitting on the side, didn't look at the stupid brothers, and said to Xiao Jiu: "It's not like I'm going to sweep the tomb in a while, let's eat quickly." ”
Xiao Jiu actually didn't know how to get along with the Su family brothers, so he stubbornly didn't feel those burning eyes, and pulled Xiao Chen to sit down.
Mrs. Xiao almost came back with a meal, and as soon as she entered the hall, she saw several faces that were very similar to her good granddaughter, which was still visually impactful.
"Sit and eat. Mrs. Xiao beckoned the brothers of the Su family to take a seat, making a gesture of the main family.
The brothers of the Su family now know that this is the old lady who adopted their sister, and they dare not be disrespectful, so they nodded yes and took their seats one after another.
After eating a meal, Xiao Jiu didn't say a few words, and the Su family brothers were even more restrained, and after eating hastily and cleaning up, Mrs. Xiao packed up the things to be used to sweep the tomb, and took Xiao Jiu Yanxi and Xiao Chen to the cemetery.
In the past two years, no one has come to clean up, and the grass on the graves of the Xiao family's parents and the Xiao family's grandfather has grown extremely luxuriantly, looking like a lonely grave.
Mrs. Xiao sighed at the tombstone, Xiao Jiu hurriedly rolled up his sleeves to pull the weeds, Yan Xi and Xiao Chen also stepped forward to help, and after a while, the grass was pulled out.
"Kneel down and kowtow to your grandpa and mother. Mrs. Xiao stood in front of the tombstone with a serious expression.
"Yes. ”
The three of them knelt in front of the tombstone, put the offerings they brought one by one, took the paper money out to burn, and when the paper money was burned, they kowtowed three more times.
The old lady said again, "Get up." ”
The three of them got up and looked at Mrs. Xiao.
Mrs. Xiao stared at the tombstone for a while, but didn't say anything, "Go back, your grandfather and your father and mother are watching from the sky, and they all know everything they should know, so there is no need to say anything more." ”
"Yes, Grandma. ”
On the way back, Xiao Jiu helped the old lady and said softly: "Grandma, we will be in the capital in the future, and it is close to Peach Blossom Town, if you want to come back for the New Year, let's go a few days early." ”
This sounds simple, but it's not easy to do.
Mrs. Xiao knew that Xiao Jiu was comforting her, so she patted her hand with a smile and said, "What to do when you come back, just remember it in your hearts." ”
The grief after death is always worse than when you live well.
"I've always remembered, Grandma. ”
"I remember, Grandma. Xiao Chen felt that Mrs. Xiao was in a low mood, in fact, he was also a little sad, he already knew the concept of death, and although his impression of his parents was vague, his feelings were extremely deep.
The old lady laughed and touched Xiao Chen's head, "They are all good children." ”
After going down the mountain and returning home, Xiao Jiu saw Aunt Huaihua.
Although they have only been together for a few months, Xiao Jiu always remembers the kindness of Aunt Huaihua, and after two years of separation, she has not seen any strangeness, stepped forward to hold Aunt Huaihua's hand, and said affectionately: "Auntie, I'm back." ”
"Ah, Xiao Jiu'er, when I got up this morning, I heard the people in the village say that you came back, I still don't believe it. Aunt Huaihua was also very happy to see Xiao Jiu, "Auntie is still when you don't come back." ”
"How can it, my father and grandpa are here, how can I not come back. Xiao Jiu said with a smile: "It's just that when I came back last night, it was night, so it didn't alarm anyone." ”
Xiao Jiu's complexion looked very good, Aunt Huaihua looked at it carefully, and said: "Seeing you like this now, my aunt is also relieved, I was afraid that your grandma would not be able to protect you at that time, and then look at it now, who would have thought of it." ”
"Yes, I also have to thank my aunt, if it wasn't for my aunt at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to marry so well. ”
Xiao Jiu is a kind word, Aunt Huaihua naturally knows, but she is comfortable listening to it, and her mood is better.
"It's all your grandma who picks people, what does it have to do with your aunt? You are a good child, and your aunt likes you, so naturally I hope you are good, don't be like Ernier and Qianqian, these two children, eh, ......"
Aunt Huaihua's expression was indescribable.
Xiao Qianqian's matter, Xiao Jiu still knows a little more, and she can imagine Ernier's situation, but she still asked curiously, "What's wrong with the two of them?"
"When Er Nier knocked down a man on the street, she should have kicked their family out, if it wasn't for a moment of soft-heartedness, Xiao Qianqian wouldn't have been able to elope later, and the reputation of our Peach Blossom Village made these two girls stink. ”
"Ernier became a concubine, and now there is only half a life left, there are many bad things in the town, and I don't know if it's true or not, but everyone takes it seriously, and now that Ernier is talking about it, everyone scolds her for being vicious and shameless, and no one will say a good word about her. ”
"And Xiao Qianqian, she stole the family's money and ran away, but Aunt Xiao was angry, standing at the entrance of the village every day and scolding, and then somehow, I heard that Xiao Qianqian was developed in the capital, and the people in the big house followed, and now she hasn't come back, I don't know how it is. ”
Both of these people have something to do with Xiao Jiu, and Aunt Huaihua naturally didn't miss these things, and told Xiao Jiu about them.
Xiao Jiu showed a look of surprise and pity at the right time.
