Chapter 19: Relatives
Uncle and aunt are coming today, but Chen Xiaofei and they have to go to school, and I'm afraid that my uncle and they will already leave when school is over.
However, her grandparents said that they would not leave until they met, so as soon as Chen Xiaofei got out of school, her sister pulled her and her brother together, and it was rare for the three of them to go home together.
Chen Xiaofei didn't want to be in such a hurry, in her previous life, her uncle and her aunt just glanced at them and said hello before leaving, and no matter how in-depth the contact was, it would take for everyone to sit down and have a cup of tea and chat slowly.
It's really unnecessary to ask them to go back to meet in such a hurry as today, but since her grandparents attach importance to it, Chen Xiaofei pushed her classmate's appointment to meet her.
"Lingling. One babble. Bumper. "Don't think too much, it's just the sound of the three-broken bicycle galloping by, Chen Xiaofei is also tired and doesn't love it, isn't it her uncle who is here, Chen Xiaoyong doesn't need to be in such a hurry? All the way, I kept telling them to hurry up, hurry, the car was going to fall apart.
"Hello Auntie!" Three
"I'm back!" Aunt
"Hello sister-in-law!" Three
"It's time for school!" sister-in-law
“……”
The countryside is like this, you have to meet several relatives along the way, you can't pretend not to know and don't call, you will be said to be impolite and uneducated.
As long as one person says that you are not educated, the whole village will know who and who has such a self-righteous child with eyes on the top of his head.
Rural people are simple, but they are also harsh. They don't know you better, they can only know you through other people's word of mouth.
So in the countryside, sometimes fame is more important than anything else.
After arriving home, I saw my uncle and aunt there, to be honest, Chen Xiaofei is not familiar with her uncle and aunt, although they have known each other for 16 years, they have not really spent more than 74 hours together, in the final analysis, they are not very promising.
Her uncle **** is a government official, and although her aunt Zheng Shuyuan is an employee of an insurance company, there are many politicians in the family, as if her uncle was promoted to the mayor of the town, and their entire family was pulled up, and as the youngest girl in the family, she should be a little arrogant.
This time her uncle and her aunt didn't leave so quickly, and her aunt also pulled her and asked a few words, which was nothing more than a rehash of the old saying, that is, some things about learning and musical instruments, and said that her own son Chen Xiaofei and her cousin were also going to learn piano, and asked Chen Xiaofei to have time to teach him.
However, maybe she didn't know what Chen Xiaofei's specific level was, so she just briefly mentioned it.
Her uncle mentioned two more sentences, asking Chen Xiaofei not to be too proud, study hard, and be a promising person in the future.
Chen Xiaofei knew that this must have been said by her grandmother and her uncle, and asked him to mention Chen Xiaofei well, as in his previous life.
In her previous life, Chen Xiaofei was indeed a little proud, after all, she was still young, and her grades outside her childhood were good, and she would definitely get a little carried away when she returned to her hometown and saw a group of people who were not as good as her.
Chen Xiaofei may have been holding back for too long in her previous life, and she couldn't help but be a little high-profile in this life, but she knew it in her own heart, and being high-profile was her insistence in this life.
But in the eyes of the older generation of advocates of moderation, Chen Xiaofei is an outlier. As the saying goes, the gun shoots the first bird, and some people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, pride makes people regress, and humility makes people progress. These words are all farts in front of Chen Xiaofei, she is talented in this life, she is going crazy.
But we can't refute the love of the old man, right, so Chen Xiaofei pretended to be obedient like her grandson, and she should do whatever her uncle says.
Seeing her well-behaved appearance, her uncle said in a good mood: "It's weird and good-looking, your mother is really good at giving birth." ”
Chen Xiaofei pretended to be embarrassed and smiled.
In her previous life, her uncle was not in such a good mood, and her aunt was unwilling to stay for a long time because he was in such a hurry, and her aunt had always looked down on their relatives here.
Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, Chen Xiaofei still has a good impression of her uncle, although she still didn't pull their family up in the end, but that is also the reason for her low personal ability and the lack of strength of her relatives, you can't blame him.
Although they stayed to talk this time, they didn't stay for long, and it was not early, so they hurried back and left.
After eating, Chen Xiaofei consciously went to wash the dishes, Chen Xiaofei will no longer avoid housework in this life, and it is not that she wants to leave a good reputation, but that she is 26 years old after all, how can she be so immoral and let the old man cook and clean up the aftermath!
Think about it carefully, where will there be no friction among the people who live together, who is not selfish, you can't keep thinking about it because others have a trace of sorry, you can't guarantee that you are completely right and selfless, and how to ask others to selfless dedication to you. It's not good or bad to deny what others have done just because they have done something wrong.
Chen Xiaofei forgot your grandparents' mistakes, the old people are more stubborn, it's when everyone is eccentric, you can't mind, just like your grandfather said that your mother only gave him a few dollars, and asked him to love his grandson as much as his grandson, and wait until your mother can be the same as her son. Chen Xiaofei told herself.
Chen Xiaofei has always felt that there must be a reason why her relatives are so cold, indifferent and selfish, because she has never felt any selfless dedication, maybe there is, but it must be too little, and less can't warm her cold heart.
In fact, there is another time to recognize relatives this week, well, here, Chen Xiaofei understands recognition as knowing his relatives.
It was Chen Xiaofei's aunt and her father's sister Chen Rui, but she didn't stay until they met after school, and her mother Chen Meizhu had a lot of opinions about it, and compared her with her uncle on the phone.
Their sister-in-law has always had a bad relationship, which can be traced back to when she first got married, so I won't talk about them here.
Her father Chen Shengsheng's family situation is like this. There are two younger brothers and a younger sister, and it seems that there was originally an eldest sister, but she died when she was very young.
Chen Shengsheng's two younger brothers are both farming, both are in Xiawei Chen, and his younger sister is married to a flower farmer and lives in a small town, both of whom have only enough to live for food and clothing.
Chen Meizhu has four younger sisters and one younger brother. Three younger sisters married to J City, and one married to L City, all of which are not far away, and they often come back to see them during holidays. And the younger brother **** said that he was very busy, and he usually only returned on older holidays. Of the six people, Chen Meizhu was far away in S City, and she couldn't go back for several years.
And Chen Meizhu has seen only four aunts, one uncle and two uncles in Xiawei Chen, and the only ones who haven't seen are her aunt Chen Rui.
However, Chen Xiaofei knew that there would not be many opportunities to get along in the future, so she didn't mind at all.
Her father's side is a little like a married daughter who is afraid of spilling water, Chen Rui can't take care of herself, then she can take care of her mother's family, her brothers are not promising, let alone generous, it's best not to look for her if there is anything, she won't easily find her brothers if she has anything, so it's good.
Her family situation is probably like this, very simple, there are no messy relatives, most of them are looking after their own families, and this is the case in the big era.
