Chapter 219: Catching Up
Yun Duo pouted: "Mother, you are soft-hearted again, you can't be like this all the time, my little sister is right, poor people must have something to hate, I will not sympathize with them at any time." ”
Li Shi turned his head and glanced at the little girl with disgust, Qixi hurriedly and carefully dodged back, while complaining in his heart that her second sister had nothing to do, she pulled out what she said, and did not forget to pull her eldest sister in front of her, although her eldest sister was not tall enough, it was enough to barely block her.
Looking at the little girl's action, Li was immediately amused, and he didn't say anything more, but only urged the second girl: "Zhilu Dao, then you are amazing, okay?" Hurry up, let your sister-in-law stop being busy, let's go over there and help or something, I don't know if your father is too busy to come. ”
A few girls came over to help close the curtains, and called out Shen Huijun, who was feeding Da Zhuang and Erzhuang in the upper room, took a closer look, locked the courtyard door and left, and came back after dinner in the evening.
"Mother, it's snowing." There are some surprises when you go out on Tanabata.
Stretched out his hand and then the snowflakes that fell down, fell in the palm of his hand for a while, and his face was red just now in the west wing, and there was no wind outside at this time, only snowflakes were floating, which made people feel extremely comfortable.
"Yes, this year's snow is fine, and my mother is looking forward to a good year next year." Li Shi also looked up and smiled.
Although the family has been doing business since it was separated, in their bones, Shen Chenghou and his wife are still authentic croppers, and there is no cropper who is not looking forward to a good year.
Got to the town. Li took the child to the second brother's house first. The greens and other vegetables were sent first. At that time, Qin's family was okay to refuse, others didn't know Lu Dao, how could she open a shop in the town not know what price Lu Dao was selling vegetables now, not to mention the side, just give her family a lot of money to get the asparagus, busy saying that there are many places to use money at home on Qixi Festival, or keep the vegetables and sell them for the New Year for the children to go to school.
But Qixi's words made her no longer able to refuse, and she blinked her eyes a little aggrieved. looked at her second aunt: "Second aunt, are you going to see us?" Aren't we family? ”
What else can the Qin family say, they can only get closer and closer to the sister-in-law's family in their hearts.
chatted with the Qin family, and learned that her family was going to close the shop early for the New Year, so the Li family took the child back to his house.
Today is not a big set, as early as two days ago someone came to the restaurant to buy frozen dumplings to take away, the family decided to simply start selling frozen dumplings in the shop, just in time for the New Year, the restaurant was not full of guests, but came to buy frozen dumplings in an endless stream. They were all ready to buy it and eat it at home, and Li and others hurriedly came over to take over the stall.
I was busy until the next day. Thinking that the money is inexhaustible, and besides, there are already a lot of sales, so I closed the door early and prepared to cook for the New Year.
There is snow outside, there is nothing better than eating hot pot on such a day, there are many people and lively, but because you have to eat dumplings in the new year, you don't have to make noodles or anything for the staple food, and the ready-made dumplings are boiled in the pot, and they are all freshly packed today.
When they were busy in the kitchen together, they looked at Zhao Yuan and her sister-in-law and inadvertently met their eyes, and both of them blushed with their faces, and Qixi went straight to look at her father, squeezed her eyebrows and asked if she had told Uncle Lin in the end, and heard her father come over and whisper to Lin Qinian that he would tell Lin Qinian in the morning, but he was busy afraid that he hadn't mentioned it to Zhao Yuan yet, and Qixi was a little anxious.
"Uncle Lin, you and Uncle Zhao Yuan clean up the table in front of you, and I'll get the soup base ready to go to the pot as soon as it's ready." Qixi thought about it, and then went away.
"Cheng, then we'll just wait to eat." Lin Qinian naturally knew what she meant, so he smiled and pulled Zhao Yuan out.
Zhao Yuan was eager to follow along, and he usually stayed in the kitchen, but he had never been like this now, he felt that his whole body was so hot that he was going to sweat, and he was a little absent-minded about what he was doing, and he knew that it was because of Shen Huijun's presence.
As soon as the person leaves, the absent-minded one will become Tanabata, do some work and look at the door twice, the most helpless after the can't help it, throw the things in your hand and run out: "Sister-in-law, I'll go to the backyard to see if my mother is done, you can help me take a look at it." ”
"Go ahead." Shen Huijun didn't know anything, turned his head and smiled, and worked in the kitchen by himself.
Where to go to the backyard on Tanabata, she slipped out of the kitchen and rubbed against the wall to hide by the counter, and then leaned her head out to eavesdrop on the two of them.
In addition to the Lin family and Zhao Yuanhuzi and the Shen family, there were more than a dozen people who ate together, so they simply merged the two tables together in the front shop, and everyone ate at one table to be more lively.
The two of them didn't talk loudly, plus there was also the sound of the dishes and chopsticks, Qixi had to support his ears to hear clearly, I was afraid that Lin Qinian's words to introduce him were all finished, and Zhao Yuan also refused, but the more Qixi listened, the more he couldn't help frowning, what's the matter, although Uncle Zhao Yuan didn't want to look at the relatives next to him, how could he mention that his sister-in-law was still twisting? Or do you feel inferior in your heart?
didn't understand what Zhao Yuan was thinking, Qixi had to retract his mind and continue listening, but he happened to hear Zhao Yuan say: "...... Uncle Lin, I really don't think I'm worthy of Miss Shen, I ......"
With a "snap", Zhao Yuan's words stopped, and Qixi was also frightened and turned around.
"Sister-in-law......" Qixi looked back and saw her sister-in-law's expression gloomy, and she was distressed.
I didn't want Shen Huijun to raise his head quickly, but he smiled forcefully, lowered his head and picked up the things on the ground, turned his head and walked towards the kitchen, "The table is going to be cleaned up, I'll go wash some more dishes." ”
Qixi looked at her sister-in-law at a loss, and turned her head to look over, but saw that her father and uncle were standing on the stairs, obviously they also heard Zhao Yuan's words just now.
"Miss Shen......" Zhao Yuan stood stunned for a while, as if he was stunned by this sudden situation, and after a while, he understood what was going on, so he called out a little eagerly.
Tanabata hesitated for a while, but after all, he didn't move.
Although I was also worried about my sister-in-law, it was better to let her be quiet at this time, if others went, it would make her feel even more embarrassed, so she couldn't help but turn her head and glared at Zhao Yuan, what is going on with this person, is it still impossible to turn his brain until now, is it difficult to miss his sister-in-law for the sake of that damn face?
Unexpectedly, Zhao Yuan couldn't care about her stares at all, so he was so anxious that he turned around in place, and he was about to follow him to the kitchen.
"Zhao Yuan...... "Several people on the stairs also hurriedly ran over.
"Uncle Zhao Yuan, why are you going?" Qixi was also startled, and he couldn't care about being angry, so he quickly stretched out his hand to stop him.
She could see that Zhao Yuan should be in a hurry, but she didn't make it clear, what was the use of the past now, if she didn't have a word to bear, she still shouldn't give her sister-in-law hope, not to mention that she didn't hear him say anything, what's the matter with chasing after him now? Sympathy? That's not necessary.
After such a delay, Shen Chenghou and Shen Chengan also came over and stopped him with some disapproval, and they all saw Zhao Yuan's hesitation just now.
Zhao Yuan was blocked by Qixi Festival, so he was stunned for a moment, and then looked at everyone's expressions, and then he realized that it should be a misunderstanding, so he smiled bitterly: "Third brother, you all misunderstood...... I didn't finish what I said just now, I said that I don't think I'm worthy of Miss Shen, this is from my heart, but let me give up because of this, I ...... Unwilling. ”
A group of people all stared at Zhao Yuan with wide eyes, but they didn't expect that this would be what he meant after he said half of his words, and just wanted to say something, they saw Zhao Yuan take a deep breath and continued: "Unless Miss Shen is unwilling, even if I don't have anything now, I will try my best to make myself worthy of her, or I'm afraid...... I'm afraid ......"
Seeing that Zhao Yuan hadn't said two "I'm afraid" in a row, Qixi was a little anxious, and he couldn't wait to continue for him, Xindao just didn't say the key point first before making her sister-in-law sad and left, and blurted out with a roll of her eyes: "You're afraid that others won't be able to give my sister-in-law happiness, aren't you?" ”
Zhao Yuan turned his head to look at Qixi suddenly, and for a moment his mind seemed to have something knocked on it, and it was suddenly clear that there was still some fog, and he nodded hurriedly, and turned his head to look at Shen Chenghou and said: "Yes, that's it, that's it, me, third brother......"
Qixi is right, he wants Shen Huijun to be happy, that girl has already lived in his heart, how many nights when he can't sleep, he thinks that such a good girl should marry a good family, have kind in-laws, have a husband who loves her, and will have filial children in the future, but thinking about it changes his taste, he can't help but start thinking about it, what if Shen Huijun marries someone but has a bad time, what if Shen Huijun marries someone but has a bad time in the future, at that time he just can't help anything no matter how anxious he is.
But if Shen Huijun marries him, although he doesn't have anything now, he promises that he will be a good husband who loves his wife, and will continue to work hard to make his wife and children live a good life.
"Uncle Zhao Yuan, I support you, if it is not you who gives my sister-in-law happiness, then how do you know if others will treat her well?" Qixi felt that she completely understood what Zhao Yuan was thinking at this time, so she looked at Zhao Yuan with a smile and said, the most important thing is that she felt that she had seen it clearly, and these two people should have a deep love for each other.
"Hmm." Zhao Yuan nodded a little excitedly, turned his head to look at the people in the room again, and saw that no one was stopping, so he turned his head and chased him to the kitchen.
The people in the house didn't react for a long time, and when the kitchen door was closed, Shen Chengan suddenly came back to his senses, and then he was about to chase after him, and said anxiously: "Oh, why did this kid go like this?" (To be continued......)
