"Mother, I'm going to find the beginning of summer and the spring equinox, and I haven't done my homework this afternoon. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info "Xiao Han stood up and said to Chen.

Chen hurriedly said: "Go ahead, your children's family is impatient to hear us say this." ”

Lin Shi hurriedly pushed his daughter: "Amei, you also follow Xiaohan, listen to what they have learned, and you will have a long insight." ”

Shi Mei was extremely reluctant to hear this, she was only interested in rouge gouache and dressing, and asked her to go to school, so it was better to stay here.

Lin Shi winked while pushing her, she stood up extremely reluctantly, twisted Xiao Man's waist and went out.

Xiao Han went out and pretended to ask inadvertently: "Cousin, my uncle is home alone, who cooks at night?" Are you reassured? ”

Shi Mei replied coldly: "My mother got up early to cook, and my father can eat it hot at night." ”

I didn't plan to go back in the first place, it was really premeditated!

Xiao Han raised his vigilance in his heart, and said again: "My aunt just said that she wanted to lend us money, so your family should be quite wealthy, right?" ”

"Where is there plenty of money, but it's better than your family." As he spoke, he glanced at the Lin family's house with disgust.

Don't come if you don't like you, who doesn't want you to come! Xiao Han scolded in his heart.

"Then my aunt said she wanted to lend us money?" Xiao Han asked suspiciously.

Shi Mei pouted: "Who knows what crazy she's going on!" ”

Well, it looks like you don't know anything.

Xiao Han saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to take her to his room and call Lixia and the spring equinox in.

After the two came in, they were surprised to see Shi Mei also there. Lixia was about to withdraw, but Xiao Han shook his head at him slightly: "Brother, you can tell us about the Analects today." ”

Lixia and her sister also have a tacit understanding, knowing that her sister has an idea in her heart, so she agreed.

The siblings took out pen and paper and sat around the table and began to learn the Analects.

Shi Mei was not interested, just sat on the bed bored.

Lixia first read the original text to the two of them: Zi said, "When you learn it, don't you also say it?" Have friends come from afar, are you happy? People don't know and are not ashamed, aren't they also gentlemen? ”

Spring Equinox and Xiao Han also recited it several times until the three of them could memorize it.

Only then did Lixia begin to explain the meaning: "'Zi' refers to Confucius. Confucius said, 'When you learn and learn it, don't you also say it?' Isn't it pleasant to think about something that you have learned and practiced from time to time? This is easy to understand, do you understand? ”

"I see, for example, I've learned to write fifty words, but I still review and practice so that I can't forget it easily, so I'm very happy. If I forget, I'll blame myself for being stupid, and of course I'll be unhappy. The equinox rushed to answer.

Xiao Han gave him a thumbs up: "Spring equinox, you are so smart. I'll also use an analogy, for example, if I learn to cook a dish, I also have to practice it often, so that the food I make will become more and more delicious. You all praise it when you eat it, and I'm very happy too. If I don't cook regularly, and my skills deteriorate, and I don't make it delicious, you will criticize me, and then of course I'm not happy. ”

"Yes, yes, that sister, you have to practice cooking more in the future."

"Then I'll make you a sweet and sour pork rib and braised eggplant tonight, okay?"

"Great, there's something delicious to eat again tonight." The vernal equinox cheered.

Lixia knocked them on the head funny: "Be serious, study now, why are you talking about eating again." Come, let's move on. The meaning of the last two sentences is: Isn't it nice to have like-minded people coming from afar? People don't understand me, and I don't resent or get angry, isn't I also a virtuous gentleman? ……”

Shi Mei listened dizzily and felt like she was on pins and needles, constantly looking around. Xiao Han snickered in her heart when she saw this, she got up and said, "Cousin, it's boring to listen to this, right?" Let's go and cook in the kitchen with me. ”

Shi Mei also wanted to leave, but she didn't want to cook.

Xiao Han didn't care so much, she walked out, and she had to go out.

When she went out, Shi Mei found an excuse to go into the hall to find her mother, Xiao Han didn't expect her to help, and went into the kitchen to prepare dinner. Not long after, Chen also came in in a hurry.

"Mother, you can't be impatient to accompany her." Xiao Han smiled understandingly.

Chen also smiled: "Yes, I'd rather stay in the kitchen than talk to her, I don't have anything to say to her." ”

The two of them prepared meals in the kitchen without mentioning. In the hall, the mother and daughter of the Lin family got together and muttered, not knowing what to say.

In the evening, Lin Jincai came back and was very happy to see his sister and niece. Dinner was a good meal, and Lin Jincai also drank some wine. Lin praised Xiao Han's sweet and sour pork ribs, and did not comment on the braised eggplant because she ate less. Lixia kept her head down to eat, not noticing Shi Mei's dodging gaze when she looked at her.

After eating, Chen and Xiaohan went to the kitchen to help. For the first time, Shi Mei also followed, and she had to help them wash the dishes.

Xiao Han was surprised, this is really the sun coming out of the west, not like her style.

What kind of medicine is sold in their mother and son gourd, Xiao Han secretly examined her, only to see Shi Mei stretching out her fair and round hand, frowning, putting it in a greasy basin, washing the dishes awkwardly, and seeing that she didn't often do housework.

Chen was afraid that she would break the bowl, so he watched carefully. She finally finished washing, and she breathed a long sigh of relief. Chen and Xiao Han also breathed a sigh of relief, yes, none of them were broken. But when I looked at the bowl, some of the dishes still had small rice residues, and some of the plates still had some oil, so it seemed that I had to wash them again.

In the hall, Lin pulled his younger brother and spoke considerately. First of all, he praised his daughter: gentleness, diligence, filial piety, etc.

Lin Jincai didn't understand this niece, so he believed it, nodded frequently, and praised her from time to time.

Seeing this, Lin was secretly happy, but his face was full of sorrow and said that his daughter is now eighteen years old but has not yet decided to marry, and she is about to become an old girl. Every time I think of this heart, I can't eat, I can't sleep, and I'm about to get depressed.

As he spoke, he quietly reached out and pinched his thigh, and tears immediately rushed out. Lin Jincai panicked when he saw this, and comforted his sister again and again not to cry, saying that his niece would be able to find someone he liked sooner or later.

Lin followed his words and said: "Yes, there is a candidate right now, this young man is handsome and has a good temper and personality, but I'm afraid that their family won't look down on Amei." ”

Lin Jincai breathed a sigh of relief: "Since my niece is so good, I should be able to take a fancy to it." Whose child is it? ”

Lin smiled: "It's Lixia that I like, brother, we just happened to kiss and kiss." In this way, if I marry Amei, you will definitely not be able to treat her badly, and I don't have to worry about her being angry with her in-laws. And you also know Amei's conduct, and I will definitely be filial to you in the future. ”

Lin Jincai opened his mouth and said half-loudly: "But Lixia is only fifteen years old this year, and we haven't thought about kissing him yet." My niece is eighteen years old, so I don't match the age, right? ”

"What's not compatible. It is said that 'female junior, hugging gold bricks', it will hurt people when you are older, Lixia is fifteen, and it is not small, and there are young men like him who are married. And you think that if the two of them get married, you will be able to hold your grandson next year. Lin pouted his younger brother and said.

Lin Jincai felt that his sister was reasonable, but he was not so confused that he agreed immediately, only said that he needed to discuss with the child's mother, and he also asked Lixia what he meant.

"What else do you need to discuss, can't you call the shots in this family? As for Lixia, since ancient times, it has been the words of the matchmaker of his parents, you can set it, it is his cousin, both of them understand their respective tempers, and they are not afraid of any estrangement after marriage. It's better to know the bottom than to never meet. Lin taught his younger brother a lesson.

Seeing that her brother's face was loosened, she pretended to be angry and said, "Could it be that your family made money selling spicy cabbage, so you look down on your sister and think our family is poor?" Don't worry, our family is just this one daughter, and the dowry will definitely not be disadvantaged to you. ”

Lin Jincai hurriedly shook his hand and said, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that, how could I dislike you, you are my own sister!" ”

"That's right, brother, my father and mother are gone, only the two of us are left to depend on each other, you still don't know what your sister is? Sister Fei can still harm you? He wiped his eyes with a handkerchief.

Lin Jincai was touched by her words, and when he saw that his sister was sad, he hurriedly persuaded: "Sister, don't be sad, what you said makes sense, I agreed to this family matter, but I still have to ask for the opinions of the child and Lixia, after all, this is a lifelong matter, and they must be willing." But I believe that the niece is so good, they must be fine. ”

Lin saw that his younger brother said yes, but he still had to ask for the opinions of his daughter-in-law and children, and he was slightly dissatisfied. But when it came to this, she didn't dare to push too quickly, lest her brother suspect it.

"Okay, I'll wait for your good news, it's best to marry them before the New Year, after all, your niece is not young."

"So soon, I plan to celebrate the New Year, build a house, and then talk about the children's family affairs." Lin Jincai said in surprise.

"What's fast? Isn't the old saying 'rich or not, it's better to marry a daughter-in-law for the New Year'? Brother, this is a happy event imported by our Lin family, the sooner the better, and when the New Year is over, you will be able to hold your grandson. Lin persuaded him.

"But there's no place at home? Lixia still lives in the same room as the spring equinox. My uncle also lived in that house. Lin Jincai said embarrassedly.

"That old man, his family didn't come to pick him up years ago? What's the deal with Lai in someone else's house for the New Year? If he doesn't come to pick him up and send him to your mother-in-law's house, isn't he your father-in-law's sworn brother, he deserves to live with them, what is it like to live with you! Serving him for so long counts as a big face. Lin said loudly.

Lin Jincai was afraid that Chu Zhao would hear it, so he hurriedly stopped her and said again. Persuade her not to be early, go wash and rest, and she will talk to the child and his mother in the evening.

So the Lin clan went to sleep with good expectations, who knew that their words just now had already been heard by Chu Zhao - his strength had basically recovered. Intuition told him: The Lin family is so eager to marry his daughter, there must be something greasy in it.

He hurriedly called Lixia and Xiaohan over, the spring equinox has always been the little tail of his brother and sister, and he followed curiously.

After Chu Zhao repeated the original words, Lixia's face turned pale with anger. I had never looked at this cousin squarely, and I was even more afraid of a girl with such a character as her, but my father didn't know her true face, so he agreed in a daze.

"No, I'll talk to my father." Lixia stood up and walked out.

Xiao Han hurriedly grabbed him: "Brother, what are you anxious about, my mother will definitely not agree, and my mother hates the two of them very much." It's just that Dad's there, it's a little difficult to do. Dad is honest and has a lot of affection for his aunt, so it is not easy to convince him. If the aunt adds fuel to the fire on the side, it will quarrel if it is not good, which will hurt the feelings of the family. ”

"What then?" Lixia said hatefully.

"I have an idea, and that's what you do." Xiao Han asked a few of them to come closer and say something.
