02 There is no good banquet at the family banquet

Chen's shopkeeper and his wife went out of the door, since they brought back a little flower child, the neighbors on the left and right are all happy, "I can't be full of mushy myself, but I will be kind and charitable." The Chen family's dyeing workshop has Master Wang here, and then the meal is given to the little Huazi, and the only son of their Chen family is one less mouthful. ”

No matter what others said, Mrs. Chen still pulled Xiaobai into her door with her own hands. Entering the inner room, Mrs. Chen rummaged through the cabinets and found a dress from her youth, "Girl, hurry up and wash and change, a good child, look bad and have no personal appearance." ”

Mrs. Chen's eyes are full of love, she has not moved since she gave birth to her son Yanrui, and she is wholeheartedly looking forward to having another intimate little padded jacket, and today is what she wants.

Xiaobai didn't expect that Mrs. Chen had already seen that she was a daughter, and she was worried about what to say, so she reached out and scratched her head at this moment, which was a tacit acquiescence.

The shopkeeper Chen was checking the accounts of his time away outside, and his son Yanrui stood by honestly, waiting for his father's inquiry.

"Dad, this is Brother Yanrui, right?" Xiaobai freshened up, walked out of the room with Mrs. Chen in his arms, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, with a faint smile on his eyebrows, and two good-looking pear vortices on his lips.

Shopkeeper Chen was speechless in shock, and turned to his wife after a while, "Her mother, you already knew that Xiaobai was a girl, and I was so old and dizzy that I couldn't tell the difference between men and women." After saying that, I laughed out loud first. Mrs. Chen also laughed with her.

"It's not that Dad, your old man is dazzled, it's Xiaobai who deliberately dressed up as a man for the convenience of begging, and deceived the second elder, it was his daughter who was disrespectful and unfilial, but I hope that Xiaobai is also a last resort, so I asked the second elder to forgive my daughter." Xiaobai kowtowed his head, and his words were extremely sincere.

"Where did you say this, Yanrui, don't help your sister up yet." Mrs. Chen was obviously reluctant to let her daughter suffer, and hurriedly instructed her son.

"My daughter is good, my daughter is good, I didn't expect that I, Chen Ruhai, would be able to have both children when I am old, this is really a blessing from God." The shopkeeper Chen was open-minded, and he laughed heartily.

He pulled over the chair and sat down, "Is there anyone else at home?" ”

Xiao Bai's face was cold, and he shook his head for a while and said, "No, you will be my father in the future!" Mother! Take me, I'm not sick, I can do anything." After speaking, he was about to kowtow again, and the shopkeeper Chen hurriedly stretched out his hand and held it.

Yan Rui looked emotional next to him, walked behind his father, and coughed lightly.

Shopkeeper Chen asked, "What's your name?"

Xiaobai said: "My surname is Bai, everyone calls me Xiaobai, but I forgot what my original name was."

Mrs. Chen saw that Xiaobai had been kneeling, "Stand up and speak, poor thing, if your parents see their daughter like this, they don't know how to feel distressed." ”

Xiaobai turned around and smiled sweetly at Mrs. Chen, "In the future, if you have a mother, your old man will be distressed, Xiaobai will not be pitied, Xiaobai will definitely honor you." ”

Mrs. Chen was sad again, "More than a dozen? ”

"Fourteen!"

Mrs. Chen pulled Yan Rui over, "This is your brother Yan Rui, sixteen, Yan Rui quickly called her sister, take care of her sister more in the future, she has been living on the streets since she was a child, and she is very bitter." ”

Yan Rui shouted honestly, "Little White Sister".

Xiaobai didn't speak, as soon as he lowered his head, tears fell down his cheeks and into his mouth, salty, and tasted with some sweetness.

Shopkeeper Chen looked outside and shook his head, "No name, you have a big life, this is God's kindness, it is the Buddha's pity for you as a weak woman, if it weren't for the Buddha's enlightenment, how could your mother take a fancy to you, you have to know how to cherish your kindness." He patted the account book in front of him with his hand, "Let's call it Xi'en." ”

"Today is a happy day for the family, the first day I came home, my mother made you something to eat, wait!" Mrs. Chen, a neat woman, got up and walked to the kitchen outside as she spoke.

Xi En also stood up and shouted sweetly, "Mother, my daughter is here to help you." ”

Mrs. Chen waved her hand as she walked, "You rest first, let your brother accompany you around the house, familiarize yourself with the environment, your mother can do it by herself, and there will be a day when you will honor your mother in the future!" ”

Xi'en stood in place with emotion, and the tears fell unconsciously.

Yan Rui saw the chilblains on Xi En's hands at a glance, which were already red and covered with blood scabs, and his face was also a piece of ulcerated skin. I felt uncomfortable, he was an honest pimple, "Dad, I'll go to Uncle Qian's pharmacy on Qianjie Street to get some medicine for my sister to cure chilblains." ”

Shopkeeper Chen waved his hand to let Yanrui go, and Xi'en stood fine and walked to his father to give him ink and water.

On the dinner table are two plates of dumplings, filled with meat, exuding bursts of tempting aromas.

"Have you brought food to Master Wang?"

Mrs. Chen was just about to clip a dumpling and was about to answer, but Yan Rui took over the conversation, "I just sent it, scrambled eggs and flatbread, I just went outside to grab medicine and bought a pound of soju by the way." ”

Master Chen nodded, but as if he still had something to do, his face was a little gloomy, and when he saw that everyone didn't move his chopsticks, he hurriedly greeted, "Xi'en, hurry up and eat dumplings, your mother's dumplings, this is even sweeter than in the restaurant outside." Mrs. Chen was embarrassed by her wife's praise, and urged Xi'en, "Eat quickly!" ”

"Oh, there's a lot of excitement in this room! I said how to smell the pungent fragrance, it turned out that the owner was cooking again. Master Wang stepped into the door, looked at the dining table, and commented, "This dumpling is round and jade, and it is even more lovely than the little gold and jade on the stage." As he spoke, he smacked his lips and didn't move, just squinted at Master Chen.

"Master Wang, come in and sit, you see that I just accepted my daughter, I was confused for a while, since I forgot to send you dumplings, you can eat together." Master Chen had already stood up, with a smile on his face.

"No, your old family is reunited, I'm an outsider who is so lively, yes, you are happy, I won't bother!" Master Wang snorted coldly in his nose, flicked his sleeves and went out.

"Dad, is this so good?" Mrs. Chen was shocked and urged Mr. Chen to ask.

"Send the dumplings and say a few nice words."

Yan Rui listened to his father's instructions, picked up a plate of dumplings and was about to go out.

"Send both plates." Master Chen sighed lightly, "Alas! We haven't been blessed to eat such good dumplings, so it's over today, let's go. ”

Master Wang is the master master in the Chen family's dyeing workshop, and the family's business is counting on this person, without him, it can't be opened, and there will be no food, where dare to offend.

Xi En followed Yanrui out on the back foot. Master Wang lives on the east side of the dyeing workshop in the backyard, and at this time he is holding a small maza, and on the wooden mound in front of him is a bowl of scrambled eggs with leeks, a plate of three-fold bread, a plate of pickled radish, and half a pot of soju.
