The Song family is in Song County, too far away from Qingfu Town, outside the year, the Xiao family will only go once, if you go to give the New Year's gift in the year, you will no longer go to the New Year's greetings after the New Year, or you don't go in the year, the second day of the Lunar New Year will go to the New Year's greetings, Jiang Jingxuan went to send the New Year's gift at the end of last year, for this reason, on the second day of the Lunar New Year this year, there is no need to go to the New Year's greetings.
According to the convention, if you don't go to the Song family to pay New Year's greetings, in addition to the Lin family to stay to entertain the New Year's guests, the four children of the Xiao family have to go to the Lin family to pay New Year's greetings, but this year the Lin family's second uncle Lin is back, in the past few years, their family has added a son and a daughter, and the family has returned to the old house for the New Year, because of the unhappiness with the second uncle Lin four years ago, these years, the relationship between the children in the family and the second uncle Lin is relatively weak, for this reason, only Xiao Nan and Zi sisters and brothers went to the Lin family this year.
The two sisters and brothers got up early in the morning, washed up, and walked towards the Lin family, although there were horses at home, Xiao Nan thought that Zi Xiu and Xiao Zhen were in the time period of laying the foundation, and they had nothing to do to exercise more, walk more, and they wanted to ride a horse and ride a car if they couldn't go out, Zi Xiu had been practicing martial arts with Xiao Nan for more than four years, although his talent was not as good as Xiao Nan's, his foundation was good, and it was nothing if he was only a dozen miles away.
Along the way, Xiao Nan deliberately quickened the pace, Zi Xiu could also keep up, more than ten miles away, half an hour arrived, when he came to the Lin family, Wang found that only their sister and brother came over, and couldn't help but be stunned, and subconsciously asked: "What about Xiao Zhen and Jing Xuan." ”
"There are a lot of guests at home today, and they help my mother entertain guests at home." Xiao Nan smiled and didn't say a word, Uncle Lin and Second Uncle Lin came out of the house, Xiao Nan and his brothers hurriedly gave them New Year's greetings, and after a while, many people came to the Lin family, Xiao Nan and his brothers were not familiar with these people, nodded and said hello to everyone, and went into Lin Xiucai's study.
Because she really had nothing to say with Second Uncle Lin's family, after breakfast, Xiao Nan's sister and brother said goodbye to Lin Xiucai and his wife, and her grandmother Wang repeatedly kept it, but she couldn't keep it, and when she said goodbye, she held Xiao Nan's hand and wept: "Auntie, Zixiu, your second uncle and second aunt both know that they are wrong, you, don't be like this." ”
"Grandma, we didn't have a relationship with the second uncle, but grandma, not all relatives can get along like close relatives, I think it's good between us and the second uncle." Xiao Nan felt a little unbearable in her heart, but there were some things that there was no way to compromise, since four years ago, Second Uncle Lin and his wife ridiculed and ridiculed the new widowed sister who went home to pay New Year's greetings, and then let her treat Second Uncle Lin and his wife like no one, not to mention, her capable second aunt still hated herself in her heart.
Before Wang could say more, Lin Xiucai had already walked over and interrupted Wang's words: "Okay, don't say it, let the children go back." Lin Xiucai opened his mouth, and the Wang family stopped, only sending them out of the courtyard with red circles all the way.
"Sister, isn't it a little bad for us to be like this?" Coming out of the Lin family, on the way back, Zi Xiu thought of the gods of his grandmother Wang's family, and his heart was quite unbearable, so he quietly glanced at Xiao Nan and considered speaking.
"What's wrong with us?" Xiao Nan turned his head to look at Zixiu and asked.
"Sister, I know you don't like the second uncle and the second aunt, and I don't like it either, but no matter how bad they are, they are also our second uncle....." Zixiu was watched by his sister, and his voice unconsciously decreased.
"What are we going to do to my second uncle? Did the orchestra slander him, or did the calculation trap harm him? Xiao Nan asked lightly.
"I didn't mean that, I meant to say ......" The twelve-year-old boy suddenly became anxious when he heard this.
"Hey, what a stupid boy, I understand what you mean, you are thinking, no matter how bad the second uncle is, he is also the son of his grandfather and grandmother, our relationship with him is so stiff, grandma and grandfather must feel uncomfortable, you understand this truth, I also understand, but Zixiu, if you decide to take a career in the future, you must not only practice a pair of discerning eyes, but also have a decisive mind and wrist."
"Grandma and grandfather, I have nothing to say to us, how we are filial to them are all due, but filial piety does not mean that we have no bottom line and position of being a man, Second Uncle Lin is a mature man who is nearly thirty years old and has been an official outside for many years, he can let his wife wantonly embarrass and humiliate himself He has never asked him to fight in the autumn wind, he has not let him do a favor once, and the new widow has returned home to pay New Year's greetings
"For the sake of my grandfather and grandmother, I can ignore the embarrassment and humiliation that time, and the affection on the face can also be maintained, no matter how much there is, I can't because he is the son of my grandfather and grandmother, I have no bottom line to tolerate everything about them, in the future, as long as he doesn't come to provoke us, don't try to step on my bottom line, I won't embarrass them, but if they cross this line, I will never show mercy to my subordinates, no matter who pleads, it's useless, if you want to go on a career, you must understand, who can be handed over, What things can be tolerated, which people can't be handed over, and which things can't be tolerated, everything, you have to set a bottom line for yourself, understand? Xiao Nan stopped, quietly looked at his younger brother who had just reached his shoulder, and said with a serious face.
Zi Xiu was a little stunned when he heard this, although he was smart, he was still young, the words that came out of Xiao Nan's mouth had a lot of impact on him, and he couldn't digest it for a while, he couldn't help but look at Xiao Nan in a daze, Xiao Nan didn't say anything more when he saw this, he only reached out and patted him on the shoulder: "It's okay if you can't digest it for a while, you can take your time, you are still young, don't be in a hurry, however, if you still can't figure it out before you take the Xiucai exam, you still don't want to take a career in the future, if you want to enter the officialdom, if you want to be a capable official, just by being able to read, it is not enough." ”
After the New Year, it didn't take long for the time to slip to the Lantern Festival, after the Lantern Festival, Xiao Zhen and Jiang Jingxuan were going to the county seat, at noon of the Lantern Festival, after lunch, they tended to Zixiu and Xiao Zhen in the courtyard and frolicked colorfully, Lin called Xiao Nan and Jiang Qingxuan to the house with a serious face, after the two came in, Xiao Nan looked at Lin quite strangely and asked: "Mother, why did you call us in so grandly?" Jiang Jingxuan was also a little surprised.
"Cough, cough, auntie, Jing Xuan, I called you here today to discuss your marriage with you, the relationship between the two of you was set since childhood, this blink of an eye, the eldest mother has become a big girl, Jing Xuan, you will turn eighteen years old this year, your marriage should be put on the agenda." Lin said.
As soon as Lin's words came out, Jiang Jingxuan's handsome face suddenly flushed with a red tide, and his breathing couldn't help but be a little shorter, Xiao Nan looked at Lin with a stunned face: "Mother, I'm only sixteen this year, isn't it too early to talk about this?" (To be continued.) )
