V073 The tree wants to be quiet, and the wind does not stop
"Ahh Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Ru'er, don't catch a cold. Hurry back to your room and add some more clothes. Grandma Xu on the side heard her granddaughter sneezing, and immediately asked Zhao Qingru to go back to the room to add clothes, not only that, but also told her aunt to let the kitchen boil more ginger brown sugar water.
There is no way, there is a kind of cold called the elders in the family who feel that you are cold.
"I think Ru'er will sneeze, and my uncle must be scolding on the other side of the mountain city...... I'm talking about Ru'er. Nanami's cousin muttered quietly from the side.
Over the years, Zhao's mother has been busy going to the countryside for most of the year to give condolence performances. Since Zhao Qingshan was sent to Shenjiawa Village by Zhao's father as an educated youth, there have been Zhao Qingru's sisters and brothers at home. With the tireless efforts of the mother and daughter of the white lotus Du Juan, Zhao Qingru and Zhao's father have deep grievances. This matter is more or less known to the Xu family in the Demon Capital. Even now, it is said that the relationship between father and daughter has eased, but I am afraid that it is only barely maintaining the superficial relationship, and the so-called freezing three feet is not a day's cold.
Zhao Qingru just didn't hear this.
Father Zhao, her cheap father, scolded or chattered, she had already figured out how to deal with this father-daughter relationship. Maybe she can take advantage of the fact that she artificially failed in the college entrance examination, and she can't say for sure.
"Old man, the situation is not good, something has happened. Just as Zhao Qingru was forced to go upstairs to add clothes under the nagging of Grandma Xu, Chen Yanwu, the second son of the former old housekeeper of the Xu family, hurriedly walked in from outside, walked straight to Grandpa Xu, and whispered in his ear.
"En?" Grandpa Xu, who was originally in a good mood, didn't wait for Chen Yanwu to finish speaking, his face changed, and he became angry directly, and even almost threw out the purple clay pot in his hand to drink water, "Bastard!"
Before, Zhao Qingru had heard people mention more than once that her grandfather's temper didn't seem to be very good. It's just that Zhao Qingru didn't feel it that way, and now he looks at it like this.
"Dad, what's wrong? Make you so angry?" The second uncle and the third uncle were about to go back to their own house in the back, and they were really startled when they saw Grandpa Xu suddenly getting angry.
"Yanwu, you come. ”
"Yes, old man. Chen Yanwu sorted out his thoughts a little, and then briefly recounted the matter in a few words.
"Sure enough, it's ready to move. The third uncle suddenly smiled, looked sideways at the eldest uncle who was sitting on the sofa, and asked directly, "Big brother, what do you say about this?"
"Let's go as planned. Compared to Grandpa Xu's direct anger, the eldest uncle's reaction was too calm, as if everything was expected.
If you want to talk about this, it is not big to say that it is a small thing of sesame mung beans, and if it is not handled well, it will really cause more trouble.
Yesterday was the third generation of the Xu family's cousin and the Jiang family's eldest daughter, Jiang Lai, held a wedding banquet in the Xu Mansion to feast relatives and friends. The Xu family not only sent six wedding cars to take the bride from the Jiang family, which was not far away, to the Xu Mansion, but also opened sixty-six tables. Although there are only ten dishes, they include chicken, duck, fish, and even seafood, which can be regarded as a big deal.
It stands to reason that it is normal to set up a banquet for marriage, and in the countryside, there are ten tables and eight tables for marrying a daughter-in-law. It's just that the Xu family is a little bigger this time. Even according to the Xu family and the Jiang family, sixty-six tables is really not much, who let the two families have too many relatives and friends. What's more, there were many people who couldn't catch up yesterday for one reason or another, including Zhao's mother, the daughter of the Xu family.
But after all, the people's pockets are generally not very generous at this time, not to mention eating chicken, duck and fish every day, and it is estimated that they will not be able to get meat a few times a year. The Xu family is holding a banquet at this time, isn't this a minute to arouse those envy, jealousy and hatred.
No, let the opponents with different political views hold on to this matter. What kind of bus for private use, extravagance and waste, and even bribery/bribery hats one after another went straight to the sea cousin and uncle, and even the entire Xu family.
After graduating from university, Cousin Dahai took a career in office, and the journey was not too smooth, but he did not suffer too much. After all, there are three uncles escorting them, and the most important point is that the Xu family is still a little famous in the magic capital. Of course, this fame was also earned by the ancestors of the Xu family at the cost of money, power and even blood.
Although Zhao Qingru didn't have much awareness, he also knew that this kind of thunderous and small attack, as long as it was operated well, would not have a great impact on the cousin of the sea or even the eldest uncle. And looking at the posture now, the Xu family's side is more like doing it on purpose. Otherwise, there would not have been 66 tables yesterday, and the 30 tables in the backyard were all lonely old people like Grandma Qian, who had no children and no daughters, and orphans who had no father and no mother.
As early as before the liberation, the Xu family adopted many orphans through the monastery of the foreign people. After the new society, the monastery became a welfare home for the official family, but the Xu family still sponsored a sum of money every year. This may be one of the reasons why the Xu family has not been greatly affected in the past ten years.
As for other reasons, my uncle was a surgeon with superb medical skills, and there used to be a pharmaceutical factory in the Xu family's business. In that era of scuffle, most people, especially those who messed around on the road and pinned their heads to their belts, could not easily offend doctors, especially a skilled surgeon.
Zhao Qingru had never seen her uncle, but listening to Grandma Xu's meaning, if her uncle hadn't had an accident, he would still be alive now, on the island on the other side of the sea. It's a pity that the two sides of the strait have broken off exchanges now, and if it weren't for the fact that most of the people who my uncle rescued back then, most of them would now be doing well, and I am afraid that just because of this level of overseas relations, they would have to wear a top hat, walk the street, and "tease" the "teasing."
Zhao Qingru didn't know that in a small four-story building about three stops away from the Xu Mansion, there was an old man with gray temples who was smashing the enamel cup in his hand directly at the middle-aged man standing in front of him. If Zhao Qingru was at the scene, he might not necessarily recognize the middle-aged man who was smashed, but if he told Zhao Qingru who the middle-aged man was and where he had been on an errand, Zhao Qingru would probably say something like "It turned out to be him".
"How can my brother have a stupid son like you!" The old man's surname was Wu, and his chest was heaving a lot because of his anger at this time.
"Second uncle, you are quiet...... I, I'm not ......" Since he was forced to take off his military uniform last year, retired from the army and transferred to a local government, even if he was mixed with the position of deputy director of a district police station, Wu Weiyong was unwilling in his heart. You must know that a year ago, Wu Weiyong was still a corps-level cadre with a bright future, and in the blink of an eye, he had no future.
"What is it?!Do you think that if you find a reporter to take a few photos of the wedding banquet and scold a few words of 'extravagance and waste', you will be able to serve the Xu family in a pot? The old man told you Wu Weiyong, in the future, you will not listen to your daughter-in-law with long hair and short knowledge. If something happens, don't come to the old man to wipe your ass!"
"Okay, Lao Wu, you don't have to say a few words, dissipate your anger, and look back and your blood pressure is high again, but how can it be good. The one who opened her mouth to comfort was Wu Lao's wife, with a very rich round face.
For Wu Weiyong, the orphan left by the uncle in front of her mother-in-law's family, Mrs. Wu can't talk about how much she likes it. No one likes a junior who always lets his old man wipe his ass in the back. Sometimes there are so many resources, and if it is cheap here, it is natural to be wronged there. Mrs. Wu's mother's family also has talented juniors who need to be promoted, and this person's heart is always biased. The nephews left by the uncle in front of the in-laws' family, and the sons and nephews of his own mother's family, who is closer, it is obvious.
Of course, this kind of selfishness, Mrs. Wu will not say it blatantly. Not only did she not say it, but seeing that Wu Weiyong was reprimanded by her old man at this time, Mrs. Wu had to think of a way to make her old man angry. Otherwise, it will really make the old man angry, not to mention that the entire Wu family has no backer, and even the mother's family will have to be unlucky. Mrs. Wu has always understood this very well in her heart.
"Second, second uncle, what now?"
"What should I do?" Wu Lao looked coldly at the only bloodline left by his eldest brother, and really wanted to shout, "Do you still want Lao Tzu to teach you this kind of thing?" Thinking of his nephew's limited qualifications, he tried to calm his mind, and then asked as calmly as possible, "When will that report be published?"
"Tomorrow at the earliest. Second uncle, I'm also here to ask second uncle what you mean. ”
"Well, you're not stupid yet. Wu Lao thought about it and explained, "Withdraw the report, remember not to mention a word!"
"Ah, that's it, second uncle?" Wu Weiyong wanted to say that he had spent a lot of effort on this matter, but when he saw his second uncle yelling into his ear again, he instinctively shrank his neck.
"You idiot, the words of the emotional old man in front of him have been said in vain, haven't they?!"
"No, it's not. I'm going to ...... right away, right away."
Wu Weiyong's speed is fast enough, but it is not as fast as those uncrowned kings. If it weren't for the fact that someone in the Xu family happened to be paying attention to these things and didn't want to affect the future of Cousin Haihai because of these things, it would be difficult to say what this matter would eventually turn into.
Originally, the cousin of the sea got married, and Zhao's mother, as the much-loved little aunt of the Xu family, had to appear. It's just a pity that the plan can never catch up with the changes. Because of Zhao Qingru's relationship, China's attitude towards Xiaoyue in the south has changed significantly. In fact, as early as 74 years, there was a naval battle around Xisha in secret. In the past few years, until the gentleman's comeback in 77, the small disputes and frictions on the border have not stopped.
Even the older generation, who laid a great foundation, have already spent their old age in peace. But the blood and arrogance in his bones are still there. After Zhao Qingshan knew the details of his baby sister, he privately hinted at some things to Tang Yuesong. Tang Yue Song is a smart person, and he has been following the old gentleman, and after getting the hint, it is difficult to make a fool and let an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf continue to bounce. What's more, the old Maozi brother in the north is not a fuel-efficient lamp. This time, if you are on guard, it will not be so easy to take advantage of it.
No, not long after the college entrance examination ended last year, the garrison troops of Liangguang and Yunnan gathered at the border, and even the troops in Shancheng, that is, Zhao's father's army, were also alarmed. After more than a month of preparation, the situation on the border is now on the verge of breaking out. I just don't know if it's possible for the defense war to start more than a year in advance.
Zhao's father, as a newly promoted military commander not long ago, had actually been ordered by his superiors to rush to the border headquarters before the second day of the new year. It can be said that this Chinese New Year's Eve is very likely to be the last time the Zhao family of five will gather together for a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. However, Zhao Qingru willfully refused and did not return to the mountain city with Tang Yue Song.
Zhao Qingshan, who already knows the details of his precious sister, can somewhat understand what Zhao Qingru thinks in his heart. If he followed the trajectory of the previous life, Zhao Qingshan would have become the son-in-law of the Dragon King at this time, and he would have a pile of dry bones. Even the old man and the old lady of the Zhao family, who were far away in Yanjing, were all quack, bedridden.
Reunion? The family is broken, and the death is almost the same. But this kind of intellectual acceptance, emotional may not be comfortable, especially the grievance that can't tell the real reason, so that Zhao Qingshan, who was already silent, has a gloomy face for several days since he returned to the compound.
"Ru'er, there is a plane flying to Shancheng tomorrow afternoon. Not long after breakfast, the newly appointed eldest cousin Jiang Lai knocked on the door of Zhao Qingru's bedroom. After entering the house, Jiang Lai did not speak politely to Zhao Qingru, and explained his intention directly.
"Sister Lailai, did Cousin Dahai ask you to come to me? or did grandparents mean it?" Zhao Qingru, who was reading a book, put down the foreign book in his hand, and then stood up and looked out the window.
"It's none of Liren's business, really. ”
"It seems that after Sister Lailai became the eldest cousin-in-law, she was a little disgusted with Ru'er eating and drinking for nothing at home. In fact, Zhao Qingru, who also knew what Jiang Lai wanted to say, interrupted his eldest cousin's words, and even joked with Jiang Lai in a mood.
"No, I didn't mean that. I just felt ...... I feel that during the Chinese New Year, the family should be reunited together...... What's more, Uncle Zhao, he's about to go to the battlefield......"
"I know. It's because I know that I don't want to go back. ”
"Ru'er, you ......"
"Don't worry, Sister Lylai. My father is blessed with a great life, even if our brothers and sisters die, he can live to ninety-nine, believe it or not?"
Zhao Qingru really didn't lie and deceive people at this point. In his previous life, less than a year after Zhao Baoyi divorced his wife Zhao's mother, he married the white lotus Du Juan'er, who had become a fine flower, and then rose from deputy commander to general commander step by step for more than ten years. Until the cross-century meteorite group came to the earth, Commander Zhao continued to exert his residual heat before he was old.
Jiang Lai had also faintly heard that the father-daughter relationship between his sister-in-law and best friend was not ordinarily stiff, although Xu Liren had also mentioned to her that it was best not to interfere in the conflict between the father and daughter. But Jiang Lai always felt that there should be no overnight feud between father and daughter, and wanted to try to resolve it more than once. But now it seems that it is really as my husband said.
Zhao Qingru naturally wouldn't tell Jiang Lai, in fact, she was also worried that Zhao's father would get a boxed lunch in advance because of her reborn butterfly, so when her eldest brother took the train back to the mountain city a few days ago, she secretly put a body armor in her duffel bag just in case. As for this body armor, whether Zhao Qingshan will continue to convulsions and finally be cheap Tang Yue Song, or honor his cheap father, Zhao Qingru said that it depends on God's will.
Chinese New Year's Eve is here in a blink of an eye.
Although he knew that his son-in-law was going to the south after the New Year, and it was very likely that he would go to the battlefield, the Xu family was also full of joy because he married a new granddaughter-in-law. Nan Nan has not seen her mother Wang Fengjuan for several days, the first two days were fine, there was no much trouble, and she cried a lot early this morning.
"It's really not good, this child should be given to her mother. Grandma Xu sighed lightly. The child is inseparable from his mother, but considering that Wang Fengjuan has a history of abusing and abandoning children, in all fairness, she is really not at ease. But it's not a problem to cry like this all the time.
The most important point is that the child is left to the mother, and it is even more difficult if the mother wants to remarry, no one wants to bring a drag oil bottle, and she is a girl. So divorce or something, not only the two parties are harmed, but the most hurt is the children.
Since waking up from the drunken state, Cousin Sanhai's whole person seems to have lost his spirit, even if he heard what Grandma Xu said, it took a while to come back to his senses, and he hugged Nan Nan from the arms of his second aunt and coaxed him a little. Unfortunately, the effect is minimal. Nan Nan obviously didn't buy her father's account, but after seeing Zhao Qingru, she stretched out her arm to Zhao Qingru.
Looking at the posture, it seems that Zhao Qingru hugged himself on the train for most of the night before New Year's Day.
"Ru'er, I'm sorry for you. Cousin Mikai looked tired.
"Cousin Sanhai, I'm just the little guy's cousin, no matter how much my grandparents hurt at home, I can't replace my mother's love. Zhao Qingru gently pinched Nannan's delicate little hand, a little surprised, but more than a month, Nannan looked like it had changed a lot. It seems that children are indeed more sensitive than adults think.
"I know. So I plan to spend the New Year and let Nan Nan go to live with her mother for a few days. I'll pick it up when I get back. ”
"Cousin Sanhai, Mom's family still lives in your single dormitory?"
"Yes. Originally, I should have gone back before the Chinese New Year, but I didn't buy a ticket and dragged it in. ”
Regarding this set of statements by cousin Sanhai, Zhao Qingru has reservations. Because I had heard Wuhai's cousin mention it a few times before, the Wang family planned to stay in the magic capital this time, and the reason for chasing it was also because Wang Fengjuan boasted to the Wang family in the letter. It's just that after the Wang family came to the magic capital, they never dreamed that the hairy son-in-law who was very good at handling it would have the audacity to divorce his old daughter.
After simply sacrificing the ancestors of the Xu family, in the sound of 600 firecrackers, it can be regarded as being able to sit down for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. This time, there were two tables, on the main table sat Grandpa Xu's three uncles and the first six cousins in front, and at the other table sat Grandma Xu's three aunts, seven or eight cousins, two cousins and Zhao Qingru. Of course, the two milk dolls, Nan Nan and Xiao Jiuhai are also at this table.
For a while, it was very lively. Originally, Grandpa Xu wanted to summarize the situation of the previous year before the banquet, and look forward to the next year by the way, but he didn't talk nonsense, so Grandma Xu's sentence "The children should be hungry" was reduced by more than half.
When the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was almost eaten, under the leadership of Erhai's cousin, who was not yet married, the bear children of the Xu family and Zhao Qingru greeted the elders of the family in turn and asked for red envelopes. According to the rules of the Xu family, as long as you are not married, even if you are seventy or eighty, you can ask the elders in the family for a New Year's red envelope. This year, there is one less bear child, and there are two more "elders" Dahai cousin and eldest cousin. Of course, Cousin Mikai is also married now and belongs to the elders.
"How old are you, and you still get a New Year's red envelope. The three aunts were obviously dissatisfied with their own stinky boys who had reached the age of 20 but refused to get married for a long time.
Several cousins led by Erhai's cousin smiled "hehe" in unison, and accepted the New Year's red envelopes without any pressure, but in a blink of an eye, most of these red envelopes went into Zhao Qingru's pocket.
Although Zhao Qingru has long been not the youngest, she can't stand being the only sister. When you are an elder brother, you can't do without the New Year's red envelope for your sister.
"Thank you, cousins~" Zhao Qingru was not polite, and generously accepted all the New Year's red envelopes. It's nice that the money for private housing has doubled again.
Even if there is no TV at this time, you can't watch the Spring Festival Gala, but you can't stand the large number of people in the family. The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was eaten from five o'clock in the afternoon to more than eight o'clock, and under the leadership of Grandma Xu and the three aunts, after cleaning up the cold and cold soup on the table, it was the talent party that the Xu family would hold on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve.
Talent show, easy to understand. Of course, in order to liven up the atmosphere, it will not be too boring, and it is not limited to a simple talent show. (To be continued.) )
