Chapter 56: Jealousy
With a snap, a white chess piece slapped on the chessboard, and Cheng Wei's clear voice sounded: "Second brother, I'll go here, it's your turn!" β
Cheng Che glanced at Cheng Wei helplessly, got up and leaned towards her, opened a distance from the visitor without a trace, raised his eyes and smiled: "Cousin Ying, Happy New Year." β
The girl didn't notice anything, and a "Happy New Year" from Cheng Ergongzi made her look bright, glanced at Cheng Wei proudly, shook her white and tender hand, and shouted in a coquettish voice: "Thirteenth cousin, where is the New Year's money, the family is already fourteen years old." β
Cheng Wei couldn't hold back any longer, with a cold face, he reached out and twisted Cheng Che's waist fiercely.
"Uh-" As soon as Cheng Che spoke, he felt a pain in his waist, and hurriedly pressed Cheng Wei's troublesome hand with his backhand, and said suddenly, "Cousin Ying, I came here directly when I came back late today-"
"So, the thirteenth cousin didn't prepare the New Year's money for me?" The girl pursed her lips unwillingly, her eyes turned slightly, and fell on the purse tied around Cheng Che's waist, her eyes lit up, "Thirteenth cousin, although this little fish purse is ugly, it is still weird and interesting, I think it is still brand new, otherwise you can give this to me as New Year's money, I don't blame you." β
Cheng Wei was almost angry.
This small fish purse is since she received the rouge of her second brother's "Qiao Tiancheng", and from time to time she ran to the pool to observe the small fish playing in the water, and she practiced painting small fish for two months, and then wasted a lot of cloth to make it!
Although the purse is not very delicate because of the ordinary embroidery, this small fish-shaped purse can not be found anywhere, especially a pair of fish eyes, she specially picked a black pearl as a small millet as an eyeball. The whites of the eyes are thinly outlined with silver threads, and they look like they are alive.
She glanced at her brother and sneered.
Cheng Ying is not stupid. The second brother is all over her body, and the best thing is her little fish purse!
Cheng San's girl weighs the value of the item is obviously not the same as ordinary people, at least in Cheng Ying's opinion, this small fish purse is an ordinary thing, but it looks novel and interesting, and the fabric used is good, so it is still good as a New Year's gift. She didn't want anything valuable, and her cousin had no reason to refuse.
The eyes of the two little girls all fell directly on Cheng Che's face.
Cheng Che was about to break out in a cold sweat. It's not that I'm afraid of this cousin who is begging for New Year's money with a smiling face, but the girl who exudes cold air next to her nervously, hurriedly touched her waist and took out a golden peanut.
The little golden peanuts almost sparkle in the sun. The eyes of the two little girls widened at the same time.
"Thirteen cousins. You, you're sending this to me? Cheng Ying covered her mouth, "This, this is too expensive, how many purses can you buy!" β
She stretched out her hand happily, Cheng Che sighed secretly, and resigned herself to handing over the golden peanut.
Who knew that Cheng Ying did not stop after taking the golden peanuts, she carefully put the peanuts into her purse. directly grabbed Cheng Che's arm, and rushed to Cheng Weiyao: "Cousin Wei." What New Year's gift did the thirteenth cousin give you? β
This shameless damn!
Cheng Wei was so angry that his lips turned white, and he suddenly stood up, his eyes falling on Cheng Ying's arm holding Cheng Che.
Cheng Che didn't expect Cheng Ying to have such a move, so he hurriedly pulled out his arm, and he had to pay attention to saying goodbye to the little girl who hurt him, and in Cheng Wei's eyes, he felt that the second brother was extremely gentle with Cheng Ying, and then thinking about Cheng Ying's words just now, it was like poking her heart with an awl!
She held back her anger, curled her lips and smiled: "I'm not a child anymore, and I'm still pestering my brother to ask for some New Year's gifts." Besides, this gift is given by someone else, how can there be any reason to reach out and ask for it? β
Cheng Ying thought of the golden peanuts, and did not react to Cheng Wei's sarcasm, threw away a smug look, and said with a smile: "Of course you can't be with outsiders, but you can with your thirteenth cousin." Hehe, having said so much, it turns out that the thirteenth cousin didn't give you a gift? β
"Who said no!" Cheng Wei's chin raised slightly, "Qiaotiancheng's rouge gouache and perfume, how many of them did the second brother give me!" β
She took out the gift that Cheng Che had given her earlier and blocked Cheng Ying's mouth, then glanced at Cheng Ergongzi, and said with a strained face: "I'm back to Feixuju, it's boring to play chess!" β
Cheng Ergongzi was so frightened by his sister's eyes that he couldn't care about maintaining a gentlemanly demeanor in front of others, so he hurriedly chased after him.
Cheng Ying looked at the brother and sister who were leaving, and pulled the veil unhappily.
What's so proud, the thirteenth cousin is obviously her own brother, if it hadn't been passed to their family, it should be Cheng Wei who should have called the thirteenth cousin now!
Cheng Ying also felt very aggrieved, raised her feet to chase, and stopped.
That's it, as for Cheng Wei's character of dying to save face and suffer crimes, if she goes with her, maybe she will have to be strong, if she doesn't go, she will definitely quarrel with her brother, and when the time comes, my brother will know who is more sensible, maybe next time, he will give her a better gift!
She reached out and touched the hard golden peanuts in her purse, smiled slightly, and hummed an unknown tune to chat with Cheng Yao and the others.
Cheng Che stopped Cheng Wei, and the brother and sister stopped by a banana tree at the corner of the corridor.
This place is relatively remote, maybe the people are lazy, the frost and snow frostbite part of the banana leaves are not cut in time, a piece of yellow, fortunately it has entered the first month, a few new leaves emerge sporadically, the cold and snow can not hide the vitality, just like the girl's red face at this time, as if a wisp of sunset, even if it is angry, it makes people feel beautiful.
"Weiwei, are you angry with your second brother?" Cheng Che raised his hand to brush the snow on Cheng Wei's shoulder rubbed by the banana leaves, as if he thought of something, he lifted it in the air and stopped, and silently put his hand back.
Without outsiders present, Cheng Wei finally didn't need to be disagreeable, so he raised his foot and stepped on Cheng Che's instep, but before he stepped on it, he was afraid that the second brother would really hurt when he stepped on it, so he kicked it lightly, pursed his lips and snorted coldly: "How dare I be angry with the second brother, if I lose my temper and make trouble unreasonably, maybe the second brother will ignore me in the future, anyway, the second brother is not without a sister!" β
"Weiwei-" Cheng Che put his hand on Cheng Wei's shoulder, and still couldn't help but brush away the falling snow for her, and couldn't help but think after doing it, he must be too used to taking care of Weiwei, not letting him do it, he was just uncomfortable, shouldn't this problem be changed?
"Don't say such stupid things. How could the second brother ignore you. β
Cheng Weibai glanced at him: "What about me, the second brother lied and said that he only recognized me as a sister." As a result, on the first day of the Lunar New Year, I didn't see any gifts, but I gave Cheng Ying the golden peanut, in the end, what the hellβ"
She wanted to say that she was her own brother and sister after all, but the words came to her lips. I swallowed it raw, and my heart was sour.
Cheng Ying is really annoying, although the life at home is worse than that of Bofu. said that there is no name of Bofu girl, but in fact, Bofu's life is nothing more than this, she has parents and two brothers who love her. Why do you have to compete with her for the second brother!
The cousins of the other side branches rarely came to the house. Only Cheng Ying, except for the New Year's holidays, has to come and sneak around from time to time, as if visiting her own vegetable garden, for fear that the second brother will not remember that she came from her house!
But on the contrary, she can't say too much in front of the second brother, and she can only hold back the bad words that hurt Cheng Ying in her stomach, who makes the family the second brother's sister-in-law!
It's like a father. The second brother is obviously much better than the third brother, but the second brother visited Mr. Gu as a teacher. She couldn't see how happy her father was, but the third brother had made a slight improvement in his studies, and she saw her father smiling.
There is also a grandmother, obviously the second brother called her grandmother the longest, but now, the third brother who only shouted her grandmother for the first time at the age of seven has already ranked ahead of the second brother in her heart, and her attitude towards the second brother from far and near makes her feel cold and depressed.
To put it bluntly, it's just that blood is thicker than water.
When the little girl thought of the golden peanut, she bit her lip angrily, and learned the unreasonable troubles of women without a teacher: "Second brother, if Cheng Ying and I fall into the water at the same time, who will you save first?" β
"Naturally, I will save you first." Cheng Che said without hesitation.
Such a clear answer made Cheng Wei not know what to say, and he was stunned for a while before saying, "Second brother, aren't you coaxing me?" β
Cheng Che smiled: "Weiwei, when did the second brother lie to you?" β
"But...... You didn't even think about it and said to save me first, is this decision too easy? β
Cheng Che felt that the girl was really the most incomprehensible existence in the world, he said to save her first, he was unhappy if he was slow, he was suspicious when he said fast, if he said that he would save others first...... Hehe, then it's just dead!
He looked at his sister's somewhat nervous appearance and sighed softly: "Weiwei, it is precisely because he said what he said in his heart that he doesn't need to think about it." If something like that really happens, the second brother will naturally save you first. β
Hearing this, the corners of Cheng Wei's mouth immediately couldn't help but curl, and she felt that it was so obvious that she was so happy, so she couldn't help it, Cheng Che's serious attitude made her face a little hot, and she looked away and said, "Then the second brother didn't think about it, what should Cheng Ying do?" β
"Do you want to hear the truth?"
Cheng Wei raised his eyebrows: "Hmm." β
"The second brother hasn't thought about what to do in the future, but if he really encounters that kind of situation, the most certain thing is to know how to save you first." When Cheng Che said this, he also felt a little embarrassed, and coughed lightly, "Weiwei, shouldn't you be angry like this?" β
"Then why did the second brother give her back the golden peanuts?" Cheng Wei was already very satisfied in his heart, so he had to ask inch by inch.
"Isn't that a mistake?" Cheng Che also had a headache when he thought of the golden peanut.
This golden peanut is sent out, and it is conceivable that Aunt Cousin and Cousin Ying will probably have to run here for a while again.
"Can this be wrong?" Cheng Wei couldn't believe that the second brother, who had always been steady, would make such a mistake.
Cheng Che was very aggrieved: "At that time, wasn't it worried that Cousin Ying would snatch the small fish purse sent by the third sister, if you really rob it, the second brother can't snatch it back, so I was in a hurry to find an object, I wanted to send a silver peanut, who wanted to take it wrong in a hurry." β
silently added in his heart, more importantly, there was a girl next to him who exuded cold air, and his hands were so cold that he slipped!
Cheng Wei was in a good mood when she heard this, pursed her lips and said: "This is also true, the small fish purse is much stronger than the golden peanut, it was embroidered by me with a needle and a thread, the second brother really gave it to her, I at least ...... I won't pay attention to you for at least ten days! β
Cheng Che opened his mouth and said in his heart, third sister, do we dare to talk about it for a few more days?
A gust of wind blew, the plantain leaves swayed, and the snow fell diagonally, hitting the two of them diagonally.
Cheng Che blocked in that direction: "Weiwei, it's windy at this corner, let's go to the flower hall to drink tea." β
"It's fine." Cheng Wei no longer mentioned the matter of Feixuju, and followed Cheng Ergongzi in a happy mood, and didn't even care about not receiving his brother's New Year's gift, thinking that in order to protect her little fish purse, the second brother hurriedly found something to send Cheng Ying away, and he would save her first in case of danger, and it didn't matter if he had a gift or not.
The two walked to the door of the Moon Cave, and Cheng Wei heard a familiar voice: "Dad, mother, why did you leave so quickly, I haven't said a few more words to my brother!" β
The deep voice characteristic of the middle-aged man sounded: "Ying'er, why are you so unruly, how many times have I said it, that's your cousin, not your brother!" β
"But, he is, otherwise how could he be so nice to me?" Cheng Ying took out the golden peanut from her purse and handed it to her parents, "Dad, mother, look, this is my brother's New Year's gift to me!" β
"Oh, it's golden?" The woman in a big red jacket and a purple horse-faced skirt picked up the golden peanut, put it in her mouth and bit it, "Sure enough, it's golden!" β
"Mother, what are you doing, beware of biting it!" Cheng Ying was in a hurry and reached out to grab it.
The woman slapped Cheng Ying's hand away, and scolded with a smile: "Dead girl, you are still robbing things with your mother, this is gold, what are you doing with a little girl?" Mother will put it away for you and give it to you as a dowry in the future! β
"Mother, how can you do this!" Cheng Ying looked depressed, thinking about what to dowry, maybe this golden peanut will be cheaper for a little nephew.
"Che'er?" The family of three took a few more steps forward, and bumped into Cheng Che's brother and sister head-on, and the man shouted with an embarrassed expression.
Cheng Che stood still and was quite respectful: "Uncle Jiu, aunt Tang, happy New Year, nephew has given you New Year's greetings." β
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Cheng Jiubo nodded again and again, his heart said that he grew up in Bofu, and this child is becoming more and more outstanding year by year.
He moved his gaze to the side, fell on Cheng Wei's face, hesitated for a moment and asked, "This is Wei'er, right?" β
Seeing that Cheng Wei didn't say a word, just staring at him, thinking that what she had just said was heard by this girl, she couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and turned her head sideways to the woman: "Look, this is Wei'er, right?" If this kid doesn't speak, I'm afraid I'll admit it. β
The woman had been carefully measuring Cheng Wei for a long time, and nodded when she heard the words: "That's right, Sister Wei'er's facial features haven't changed, but she is thin and white, so she looks at the changes that are bigger, and this is really the eighteenth change of the female college." β
"Cousin Wei, why don't you talk when you see people?" Cheng Ying asked dissatisfiedly.
Cheng Che quietly touched Cheng Wei.
Cheng Wei seemed to come back to his senses: "Uncle Jiutang, aunt Tang, have a good New Year, my niece will give you New Year's greetings." I was just sick, and I saw anyone as if I hadn't seen anyone in a long time, and my brain couldn't react for a while. β
"It's okay, it's okay." Cheng Jiubo and the woman glanced at each other, and the rumors in their hearts were indeed not all false, this niece did not look at the aura before.
Next, the couple exchanged a few words with Cheng Che, Cheng Wei couldn't hear it, she just stared at Cheng Jiubo's side face and silently thought, why in the illusion, the ending of the second brother was killed by an arrow, and Jiutangbo, who was just plowing the fields on Zhuangzi, wore the official uniform of Jiupin Bluetit? (To be continued......)
PS: It's finally not past twelve o'clock, a big chapter, barely a double watch. Liu Ye is going to resign in the near future, and he is even more busy at work, so it's good to stay at home after a while, so let's just take a break. At that time, not to mention the double watch, you can still pay off the debt in the third watch. It's late, good night everyone.
