Chapter 19: Brother and Sister
Zheng Huozi hired a car to send Xuejiao to the entrance of the village and went back. Chen Xuejiao walked along the Xiaohuai River to her home, thinking that it would be good if she could contract the Xiaohuai River, planting flowers and herbs on both banks, and raising fish and crabs in the river.
This matter must be planned carefully, I am young, and I must not let adults come forward.
When I arrived at the door, I heard bursts of laughter and talking from the house.
"Mother, I heard Xue Yao say just now that she has been promoted to the big girl next to Mrs. Ding, and she is leading the first-class monthly example, it seems that Xue Yao is a blessed one." It was Zhao's voice raising joy.
"It's not, Yao'er has had a big idea since she was a child, and she is liked everywhere." Old Lady Chen's voice hid no less joy than Zhao's.
"No matter how good I am, I'm just doing the work of serving people, just waiting for my brother to have a good future in the future." A strange delicate voice came into Xue Jiao's ears, and it seemed that the owner of this voice was her cousin Xue Yao.
"When I finish participating in next year's Spring Township Examination, my sister will go home, anyway, we signed a living deed, and we can redeem you at any time." A low and unfamiliar male voice must be cousin Chen Qilin.
Thinking that their family was going to push her into the fire pit for Chen Qilin's future, she didn't have any good feelings for these two people. Chen Xuejiao sent the snacks in her hand to her house, and then came to the door of the upper room to think about whether to go in.
"Oh, Sister Xuejiao is here, I'm thinking that you're here, why don't you stand at the door and not come in." Xue Jiao was in a trance, and was affectionately pulled by a soft arm.
It was her cousin Chen Xueyao who grabbed her. Xue Yao wore a long skirt of lilac brocade, embroidered with pale white orchids on the skirt, a thin waist tightly tied with a white brocade belt, black hair pulled into a ruyi bun, and a jasper plum blossom hairpin was inserted obliquely. A pretty little face similar to Zhao's, curved eyebrows towering into the sideburns, and a pair of big eyes looking at Xue Jiao with a smile, it seems that this cousin is still a beauty.
"Sister Yao is good." Xue Jiao said lightly, and took advantage of the situation to withdraw the hand held by Xue Yao.
Xue Yao was stunned when she saw Xue Jiao's faint appearance. Xue Jiao was not like this before, Xue Jiao was so simple and stupid at that time that she admired Xue Yao very much, and she believed whatever Xue Yao said.
Xue Jiao saw a face similar to Xue Miao but more atmospheric than Xue Miao, and thought that this must be a scheming master. Just because she is not a child of the family, she can be promoted to the first-class big girl of Ding Mansion, which should not be underestimated. And looking at this posture, Xue Yao was not affected by Xue Jiao's change of relatives and hit the wall at all, and still talked to Xue Jiao affectionately. Whether it is in the past life or in this life, what Xue Jiao is most afraid of and hates is this kind of person, hiding a knife in her smile, stabbing you in the back, and asking you with a smile if it hurts, so that you can't find anything wrong when you fight back, so you can only suffer a dumb loss.
"As soon as your sister comes home, she talks about you, she is a sister, how can you not think about it if you haven't seen you for a long time." Zhao came up and pulled Xuejiao into the house and said, "Your sister hurts you as much as Miao'er. ”
Xue Jiao entered the house and saw a room of people, and her mother Li took Xue Ru and Qi Ping to sit in it. Seeing Xue Jiao come in, Li nodded kindly at Xue Jiao.
"Eldest grandson, I have made you suffer, you have been gone for many months, and I am always worried about you in my heart. When I think about your future, I have to hold back. Mrs. Chen didn't have Xue Jiao in the corner of her eyes, she just held a handkerchief and nagged at the young man standing beside her, looking like she was about to cry.
Chen Qilin stood beside Mrs. Chen, slightly older than Chen Qi'an, wearing a jade-colored straight jacket, wearing a white shirt outside, with a white face, thin lips, and a pair of peach blossom eyes. I have to say that Chen Qilin is very good-looking, but Xue Jiao feels that she is too feminine, and she doesn't like it just by looking at the thin lips and peach blossom eyes.
Xue Jiao avoided her aunt Zhao and Xue Yao, and rubbed to Li's side.
"Grandma, my grandson also misses you day and night, when I miss you, I have more energy to study, and in the future, my grandson will earn fame, and the first one to honor is your old man." Chen Qilin gently comforted Mrs. Chen.
"Among these grandchildren, I think you are the one who has a good reputation." Mrs. Chen wiped her eyes with a handkerchief.
Old Man Chen sat on the top and listened to his grandson say this, nodding with satisfaction with a cigarette pouch in his mouth. Zhao and Chen Zichang saw their son's appearance, and the corners of their eyes and eyebrows were full of joy. Cai held his stomach and pouted.
After talking for a while, Mrs. Chen ordered her daughters-in-law to get busy. Killing chickens, steaming steamed buns, holding firewood, cooking, the busiest of them is the Li family.
Xue Yao took Xue Jiao's hand and spoke affectionately, but Xue Jiao took the excuse that she wanted to go to the kitchen to help Li cook the pot.
Xue Yao's smile froze on her lips, and her eyes shone with a vicious light, and she didn't know what to do.
Zhao and Xue Miao finally seized the opportunity to talk to Xue Yao, and Xue Miao said: "Xue Jiao is a cheap embryo, shameless to face, and she has recently risen to heaven." ”
"Does she really have that much temperament to hit the wall?" Xue Yao asked calmly, and she didn't believe it at first when she received a message from the Zhao family in Ding's mansion.
"No, I hit your grandmother and hit the wall, and when I woke up, my whole person changed. She used to be very timid, but now whether she is old or young, she immediately blows up when she says something that is not in her mind, Miao'er and I have been teased by her several times, and I have to worry about her when she is young. Zhao gritted his silver teeth and said hatefully.
"Your brother's future has been ruined like this, since that dead girl hit the wall, the Sun family has also cut off contact with our family." Zhao was unwilling.
"This matter can still be reversed, I heard my brother say that a few days ago, Sun Juren sent the little guy next to him to pass the word to my brother, saying that our family is thinking of a way." Xue Yao brushed her hair and said.
Hearing this, the Zhao family had no choice but to call Qi Lin to ask carefully. Qi Lin responded vaguely, in fact, it was not Sun Juren who sent a little maid to deliver a message to him, but the Miss Sun family took the opportunity to go to the White Horse Temple to incense and sent a message to him, saying that he should think about it again.
Zhao's brows were tightly locked, the eldest family and two girls couldn't count on it, so Xuewa couldn't fight with her on top of Cai's family, and her two daughters were her heart's meat.
"Mother, it's not impossible." Xue Yao spoke, "Now there is a person who can change relatives. ”
"Who." Zhao asked, and Qi Lin also pricked up his ears to listen.
"Who else, cousin." As soon as Xue Yao spoke, Zhao's brows immediately relaxed.
"Mother, what do you think, my aunt is dead, and my uncle and grandmother are looking forward to my cousin marrying another grandson for her. Originally, my uncle and grandmother didn't like Jing Hao, but now Jing Hao has no one to protect her, so let my grandmother go to my uncle and grandmother and say, how can she not agree to give silver? Xue Yao said confidently.
"Good is good." Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and said, "...... I'm afraid that the boss's family will stop it, and Wenying, that's a spicy thing. ”
"What are you afraid of, it has always been the order of your parents to marry, which onion they are, even if they make trouble, it doesn't matter, as long as your uncle and cousin agree." Xue Yao looked at the movement outside through the door curtain, looked back and smiled and comforted Zhao.
After listening to this, Zhao liked what he liked, and he liked it even more when he saw the son of Yushu Linfeng in front of him.
Chen Qilin listened to his sister and mother's plan and did not raise any objections. Last time, the maid next to Miss Sun's family handed him a message, revealing inside and out that Miss Sun was only willing to marry him, even if that stupid brother couldn't change his relatives, it didn't matter, it was a big deal that Miss Sun was about to come out, and Sun Juren agreed to it if he couldn't keep his daughter. But Qi Lin was afraid that in this way, even if he got married, he would lose his status in Sun Juren's heart, and now he was relieved when he heard his sister's idea.
The evening meal was very generously prepared. A large plate of stewed chicken, a large plate of roast mutton, a plate of scrambled eggs with green peppers, a plate of braised beef, a plate of fried meat with shredded potatoes, a plate of vinegared cabbage, and all kinds of dim sum from Hu Fulou were crowded and crowded into a table.
Old man Chen took the men to a table, and Mrs. Chen took the women to a table. Mrs. Chen put a chicken leg into Xueyao's bowl and instructed: "The chicken I raised, I heard that you are coming, kill it quickly, you taste this meat is tender." ”
Xue Yao sandwiched the chicken leg into the sister-in-law Xue Miao's bowl, and gave the old lady a piece of fatty mutton, and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'm tired of eating chicken, fish, meat and eggs in Dingfu, if you want me to see, it's still delicious cabbage." I have a share in Nafu, half a chicken, a fish and half a catty of meat, and I think I want to eat cabbage and radish produced in the field at home, which is delicious and refreshing. ”
When Mrs. Chen heard that she was busy bringing a plate of boiled cabbage in front of Xue Jiao Xueru in front of Xue Yao. Cai, who was sitting next to Li, pouted, saying that she was pregnant and wanted to eat mutton to make up for it, and without waiting for Mrs. Chen to open her mouth, she brought a plate of mutton to herself and Li.
"Xueyao, you eat and drink spicy food every day, but unfortunately we don't have a good girl, if you want a girl, I will send her to a big family as a girl, and her life is much better than ours. You don't have to get such good chicken, give it to me. The fourth aunt, Zhang, took out the remaining chicken legs, stuffed her mouth with meat, and said vaguely, Mrs. Chen glanced at her fiercely.
Chen Qilin politely talked to Chen Qi'an about the White Horse Academy, revealing pride everywhere. Chen Zimin listened quietly, the dean of White Horse Academy was still Chen Zimin's classmate, and Chen Qilin didn't know about this relationship.
Old man Chen was very happy, and repeatedly beckoned a few grandsons to pick up vegetables, Chen Qilin brought him a bottle of good daughter red this time, although he used the silver of Gongzhong, but Old Man Chen was still happy.
Chen Xuejiao ignored Mrs. Chen's face, stretched out her chopsticks to pick up the mutton and put it in the bowl of her mother Li and her sister Xueru. Xue Miao's disdainful gaze came frequently, and Xue Jiao pretended not to see eating and drinking by herself.
Zhao and Xue Yao glanced at each other and smiled contemptuously.
