Chapter 65, the Xu family

Feng Qiang stood in front of the courtyard door, looked at the red lantern hanging at the door, listened to the lively noise inside, and remembered that when he left the compound with his aunt today, his grandparents were sitting on the sofa, they didn't care on the surface, and persuaded themselves to come to their grandfather's house, but the sadness in their eyes couldn't be hidden. Pen~Fun~ www.biquge.infoGrandparents must be very worried that they will be persuaded by their grandfather's family and leave them, right? Feng Qiang was astringent.

Push open the newly painted red paint gate, the snow in the first courtyard has been swept away, the green brick road is clean, laughter comes from the second courtyard, the two uncles and aunt's family should have arrived, the Xu family took the road of academic education, Feng Qiang's two uncles are university professors, but they are not in Pingjing, one is in Huhai University, the other is in Jinling Normal School, and my aunt is in Pingjing, and she is the teaching director of the fourth middle school.

"Knock knock is coming!" As soon as Feng Qiang entered the second door, he happened to meet his little aunt Xu Xinyan who came out of the living room, Xu Xinyan immediately greeted him warmly, took Feng Qiang's hand, and led him into the house.

From the cold outside, as soon as he entered the living room, a hot air rushed to his face with an inexplicable memory, Feng Qiang wanted to sneeze a few times, but when he saw a few foreigners with high noses and blue eyes sitting in the living room, he immediately reached out and rubbed his nose to stop.

"It's cold outside, isn't it?" Xie Peiying hurriedly stuffed the cup in her hand into Feng Qiang's hand, "Cover your hands first, take off your coat in a while, the temperature at home is high, don't sweat and catch a cold!" ”

Feng Qiang took the teacup, covered it, put it on the table next to him, and prepared to take off his coat, when he came out today, his grandmother said that the snow is not cold and the snow is cold, and he must wear an extra eiderdown vest, at this time the temperature in this room is so high, Feng Qiang feels a little sweaty on his back.

"Give me the clothes and I'll send you back to your room!" The little aunt took Feng Qiang's clothes, smiled at Feng Qiang and said, "Sit with your grandpa for a while!" ”

Feng Qiang took a serious look at the people in the living room, the eldest uncle and the second uncle were there, the younger brother-in-law was also there, and his mother was sitting with the foreigners at this time, and he didn't think to say hello to him.

"Grandpa, uncle, second uncle, little brother-in-law." Feng Qiang politely greeted the people he knew in the living room, and did not look at his so-called mother. Xu Shurui and his son and son-in-law all nodded when Feng Qiang greeted each other.

"Knock knock, why don't you say hello to your mother?" Xu Xinyi saw that her son only greeted her father and brother and brother-in-law, and she was a little dissatisfied.

Feng Qiang glanced at Xu Xinyi lightly, and said in a very flat tone: "I'm sorry, I didn't see you!" Now I'll say hello to you, okay, Ms. Xu? ”

"You kid, you call me Ms. Xu? I'm your mother, what have you learned about politeness over the years? Xu Xinyi felt that she had been hurt, and her own child didn't call her mother!

"Excuse me? Who told me to have a mother, but not a mother? Feng Qiang didn't want to quarrel with this woman, but when he thought of coming here to reunite with his family, it was lively and lively, but his grandparents were deserted, and he felt a little uncomfortable.

"You kid, how can you say that!" Grandma hurriedly stopped her daughter who was about to lose her temper and criticized her grandson, "Your mother was also a last resort at that time!" ”

Feng Qiang looked at his grandmother, this old man who was usually reasonable and loved him, and felt a little sad in his heart, it turned out that her love for herself was based on her daughter.

"Xinyi, it's your fault in this matter, knock knock in the door to greet us, didn't you see him, he didn't look at you, and it should be! You're his mother, how can you worry about your child? Don't introduce him to your family in the U.S. yet? Xu Shurui saw that his grandson and daughter were on the same page, and his old wife favored his daughter in the evaluation, so he hurriedly said.

Xu Xinyi has been a little scared of her father since she was a child, and when she heard her father say this, she was a little unconvinced, but she was still ready to do what he said, took a breath, and smiled mildly at Feng Qiang: "Dongdong, mom is sorry for you, mom will compensate you, forgive mom, okay?" Stretching out his hand to Feng Qiang, "Come, Mom will introduce you to Mom's family in the United States." ”

Feng Qiang didn't want to make a fuss, after all, his grandfather and uncles were not bad to him, so he followed Xu Xinyi to the three foreigners, this was a foreign middle-aged man, about fifty years old, and the two people next to him were a man and a woman, about twenty years old.

"It's John, it's your father, it's your brother and sister, Tom and Lisa!" Xu Xinyi introduced to Feng Qiang that the older man had a very enthusiastic attitude and smiled warmly at Feng Qiang, but the two younger ones were much more arrogant and nodded to Feng Qiang very reservedly. Xu Xinyi's face was a little bad, and her smile couldn't be maintained.

“UncleJohn,nicetomeetyou,Iwishallofyouhaveagreattimehere!” Feng Qiang greeted the middle-aged uncle in fluent English, and greeted Tom and Lisa in the same way.

“Youtalklikeanativespeaker!” John looked at Feng Qiang in amazement.

“Howveryniceofyoutosayso!” Feng Qiang said lightly.

The few words of conversation here attracted the father and son of the Xu family, who were still distracted and concerned about the situation here, although they were talking. Although Xu Shurui knew that his grandson was learning English, he didn't expect him to really dare to speak in English with foreigners, Uncle Xu and Second Uncle Xu were even more surprised, their children didn't want to learn this at all, although they were forced to learn, but they were also dumb English.

"Who did you learn Dongdong's English from? How long have you been studying? Uncle Xu Bojing asked his nephew curiously.

"The school teacher taught, not long, two semesters!" Feng Qiang replied.

"Do your teachers teach American English? Encourage you to talk to people? The second uncle Xu Zhongyu asked strangely, he is teaching in the normal school, and he knows that now those teaching assistants in the university are mostly dumb English, and they can read and write, but they can't listen and hear, let alone those students, the college entrance examination has only started for a few years, and English is generally weak.

"No, I listened to the tape at home and practiced with the tape recorder!" Feng Qiang explained that the teachers in the school also taught English standards, spelling, and textual explanations.

"How did you come up with the idea of learning this? Your cousin can't bend her tongue all the time, and she won't learn if she doesn't force it! Zhang Rong, the brother-in-law, who works in the Education Bureau, also asked curiously.

"A friend of mine said that English is very important in the future society, and it is not so difficult to learn one more language!" Feng Qiang thought of Li Manman, smiled, and patiently explained.

"That's good!" Xu Xinyi was happy, "Dongdong speaks English so well, you don't need to go through the language barrier over there, you can directly apply to a public high school!" As soon as her words fell, the living room fell silent.

Feng Qiang glanced at her, then looked at his grandfather, who was a little embarrassed, and said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I'll go back to the house!" With that, he turned around and went out the door, and walked to his own house here.

"Why are you so anxious? Didn't you stop saying it so early? Grandma's voice of reprimanding Xu Xinyi came from inside the door, Xu Xinyi whispered something, Feng Qiang didn't hear it clearly, paused, and left as if nothing happened.

Seeing his nephew's figure gradually disappear, Xu Bojing looked at his parents and asked, "Dad, Mom, do you really want the eldest sister to take Dongdong away?" ”

"What's wrong with me taking him away? Let's not say that I am his biological mother and have the first guardianship, let's just say that the educational conditions in the United States are much better than those in China, and now many people don't want to go abroad? Xu Xinyi heard the disagreement in her brother's words, and hurriedly said.

"We don't necessarily want to leave with Xinyi, it mainly depends on the child's choice!" Xie Peiying explained embarrassedly, and Xu Shurui nodded approvingly.

"Dad, have you ever thought about the Feng family? His family is just one child! Xu Bojing was a little dissatisfied with his parents' decision, and he was always too selfish. But when I saw my sister's eyes, I thought about it, took a sip of tea, and said nothing more.

"Mom, I think you're too selfish to make this decision!" After a while, Xu Xinyan said.

"Little sister, what do you say? I want my own children, why am I selfish? Your child has always been by your side, can you understand how much I miss my child? You won't understand that feeling of desolation under your knees! Therefore, this accusation of yours is really full men who don't know hungry men! Xu Xinyi was angry, and shed tears as she spoke.

Xu Xinyan glanced at her sister who was wearing the rain, and then looked at her parents who were dissatisfied, sighed in her heart, and stood up: "I'll go out for a walk and see if the lunch in the kitchen is ready!" ”

Feng Qiang didn't know that after he left, there was such a quarrel in the living room, he was now lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling, praying that time would pass faster and he would be able to go home! Maybe I will be able to receive a letter from Li Manman's little black girl today, I don't know what she will say in the letter, that small village doesn't know if it's snowing now? Has she bought her lantern, and what kind of flowers are painted on it? Do you want to be a friend who is far away? There are still four or five days before the Chinese New Year, I wonder if grandpa will take me to go again this year?
