Chapter 179: Harmony

After Wang Peihan, a troublemaker, came in, he hugged Zhou Xiaofu's thigh and talked unrelentingly for a long time, Zhou Xiaofu and Wang Errong looked at each other helplessly, and had no choice but to look at her with a smile and talk to herself.

It was almost time for dinner, and the three of them were about to go to the old lady's yard to have dinner together, when they heard a report that the second aunt and grandmother had returned to their parents' house to pay their respects.

As he was talking, he saw Ma Haishan enter the courtyard, and when Wang Peihan saw that Ma Haishan was also coming, he immediately danced happily and cheered for a long time.

Zhou Xiaofu didn't understand, her aunt was close to her on weekdays, and she often came and went, especially Cousin Haishan, who often lived for half a month, why did this Peihan's cousin seem to have not seen her for a long time.

The two were sticky together, Zhou Xiaofu raised her eyes and observed that Cousin Haishan had lost some weight, it was really strange, this New Year should be much more abundant than usual, why did she still see that she had lost weight.

Seeing a faint black shadow under the child's eyes again, didn't he sleep well?

Wang Errong also found the clue, turned his head to look at Zhou Xiaofu, his eyes picked and put on a puzzled look, and when he saw Ma Haishan talking for a while, he sat down quietly, his eyes were gone, and he was a little wilted.

Wang Errong looked out, then turned his head to Wang Peihan, who was talking, and said, "Peihan, you go and tell your mother first, dinner will be used in your grandmother's yard, come back later, we will wait for you to go together." ”

Wang Peihan cheered when he heard this, and beckoned his maid to go out like the wind, Zhou Xiaofu looked at the red shadow that had left and shook his head, this kid is too naughty.

Wang Errong also seemed to be touched and said: "Peihan was released into the wild this year, my sister-in-law is pregnant, her pregnancy is not good, and she lies down on weekdays." Just take care of the small one in the belly, I don't have time to take care of Peihan, but it has only been a year, Peihan has become a wild girl, sister-in-law is everyone's lady who manages Peihan very strictly on weekdays, I am afraid that Peihan is well-behaved in front of his sister-in-law, and when his sister-in-law comes out of confinement, this little guy will be exposed. That's what she suffers. ”

Wang Errong explained. Without waiting for Zhou Xiaofu to reply, he sat next to Ma Haishan, stretched out his hand and circled Ma Haishan's fleshy shoulder and said, "What's the matter, cousin Haishan." Look at the dark circles under your eyes, you haven't slept at night? People are thin? Are you sick? ”

Ma Haishan is a child in the end, she looked at her cousin, and then at Zhou Xiaofu. His mouth pursed instantly, and slowly tears overflowed. As soon as Zhou Xiaofu saw it, she immediately took it out of her arms and handed it over.

Wang Errong took the handkerchief and gently wiped his tears for his cousin, and said in his mouth: "Why did you still drop the golden beans?" ”

Ma Haishan lost her previous liveliness and joy, and the tears she wiped instantly flowed down again, and it took a long time before she choked up and said in a aggrieved voice: "Cousin." My mother and my father had a quarrel, and the quarrel was very strong, and my mother asked me if I would reconcile with my father. Would I like to follow her? ”

The child's words were so startled that both of them stopped their movements, and the two looked at each other. They all saw the surprise in each other's eyes.

looked down and saw that Ma Haishan was still sobbing and crying, I'm afraid this thing is true, no wonder a ten-year-old child can not sleep well.

Wang Errong didn't say anything, beckoned the maid to bring water, wet a handkerchief, carefully wiped Ma Haishan's tears, and scrubbed his face.

Seeing that the child was still sad, Wang Errong said: "Haishan, this is all an adult's business, no matter what my sister-in-law decides, she has her reasons, but no matter what, you are the most ** daughter of my sister-in-law, aren't you?" ”

Ma Haishan raised her head at this time, her eyes were red and swollen like a fat rabbit, Zhou Xiaofu couldn't bear it, her mother died early in her previous life, and her father brought her up, looking at Ma Haishan like this, she suddenly thought of herself in her previous life, her mother died of illness and was pushed away, she cried so much, she felt that the whole world had become gray.

Zhou Xiaofu entered the bedroom inside, and pretended to take out a box from the space.

Seeing that Hai Shan was still a little sobbing, I felt sorry for her in my heart, a ten-year-old child had never experienced anything, and he had to accept such a tragic thing.

Zhou Xiaofu opened the box, and saw that the two of them were looking at themselves, so they took out the things in the box, it was a box of unknown material, Zhou Xiaofu pressed a switch under the box, the box opened, and then saw that in the middle of the box was a small person four or five centimeters high, which attracted the two of them at once.

Zhou Xiaofu twisted the clockwork on the side, stopped after a few laps, and listened to a monosyllabic tune, and as the tune played, the little figure in the center of the box began to turn, as if dancing.

After all, it was still a ten-year-old child's house, and he was quickly attracted by this, and he looked at it without blinking, and after a while, the clockwork passed, the music stopped, and the little man also stopped.

Zhou Xiaofu glanced at Ma Haishan encouragingly, this child followed Zhou Xiaofu's example, twisted the clockwork a few times, and then listened to the music again, and the villain began to dance again.

Everyone was happy to see this amazing thing.

After the first district, Zhou Xiaofu closed the box and handed it to Ma Haishan and said: "Cousin, this is the New Year's gift from your cousin, you are already a big child, you have to be like an adult, you can't cry when you encounter something, because crying can't solve the problem, you always cry like this, and your aunt will cry when she sees it, since your aunt has her reasons for saying this, you will understand when you are older, so my cousin hopes that you will be happy every day, don't cry lightly, okay?" ”

Ma Haishan stretched out her hand to hold the box, raised her eyes and looked at her cousin with a serious face, thinking that every time she shed tears, her mother would be sad and cry, she was so old but she couldn't help her mother.

This music box is not such a rare thing, but it is really rare to see in this time and space, this is not Zhou Xiaofu received it in the toy store, but the twelfth birthday gift that her father bought for her in her previous life, this music box is not very exquisite, even the music is simple, and the workmanship is a little rough, but her mother just died, and her father had to take care of her while working, and he didn't forget to prepare a gift for her birthday.

So she has kept this thing until now, and gave it to her cousin today, just hoping that this child can be stronger.

Wang Errong glanced at it, and saw that the people were much better, so he got up and asked people to pack up their things, it was time to go, Zhou Xiaofu also sent someone to hold the gift he gave to the old lady and prepare to go to the front hall together.

When he was almost ready, the little monkey Wang Peihan also happily changed his clothes, the little Tang costume he wore before was bought in Jian Shang, Zhou Xiaofu could see at a glance that this child's Tang costume was painted by himself imitating the appearance of his previous life, both adults and children, but he didn't expect his aunt's speed to be so fast.

Speaking of which, my aunt is really a natural businessman, who knows how to seize the opportunity, and each costume is out of a large number before others imitate it, especially the Tang costume worn during the New Year, and the goods are put on sale at once on the same day for each store.

The four of them arrived at the old lady's courtyard together, but saw that the courtyard was quiet, and the maid and the maid were quiet in the ear room and did not come out, Zhou Xiaofu and Wang Errong looked at each other, and hurriedly walked in.

There were people sitting in the hall, including grandmothers, aunts, and aunts with haggard faces.

As soon as she saw Zhou Xiaofu coming in, Wang Qingxue quickly turned her head sideways and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, before forcing herself to look at her niece with a smile.

Zhou Xiaofu could see at a glance that Wang Qingxue had cried, no wonder there was no one in the courtyard, I was afraid that they were all sent away.

Wang Errong walked up to his mother and reached over to put his arm around her mother's shoulder, and Zhou Xiaofu realized that her eldest aunt was also crying.

And the old lady didn't cry until her eyes were red and her face was angry.

Ma Haishan couldn't help crying when she saw her mother's red eyes, she turned her head and looked at Cousin Zhou first, but saw her nodding to herself with a smile, yes, if she cried again, her mother would be very sad, so the ten-year-old child endured sadness and was coquettish and cute at Wang Qingxue, but Zhou Xiaofu looked sad.

The time was almost up, and the housekeeper beside the old lady came in to report that the food was all ready, and it was time to go to the small hall, and the old lady was about to come.

It is indeed the case, it is time for dinner, everyone put away their sad thoughts, and they all get up and walk to the small reception room next to the main hall, where the machine and chairs have been removed, and two large round tables have been placed, and cold dishes have been served.

Everyone let them take their seats, and they saw the old lady, the eldest uncle and the eldest cousin, the second cousin and the elder brother Zhou Xiaoyang, and the two sons of the aunt's family also walked in.

Today, the second aunt and the fifth aunt are not there, and even the uncles have gone to pay New Year's greetings to the Yue family, so only my grandfather and a few men are here.

The old lady smiled and said to everyone, everyone is their own people today, not limited to etiquette, just sit like this, and there is no need to hang any curtains, it is too foreign, everyone sat down happily, a table for men and a table for women, and soon the hot dishes were also put up, and the cold and hot dishes were put on the table at once.

The housekeeper came over with a few jars of wine, and saw that Zhou Xiaoyang's face had become unpleasant, and Zhou Xiaofu could see clearly at the table opposite, and suddenly couldn't help laughing.

Wang Errong asked Zhou Xiaofu curiously why he was smiling, but saw that Zhou Xiaofu didn't speak, just pointed to his brother who was worried.

Wang Errong saw it clearly, and remembered that his cousin was drunk last time he drank a little wine, and he felt funny.

Everyone happily had dinner together, and the eldest cousin in the middle came over to toast Zhou Xiaofu, which made Zhou Xiaofu embarrassed, but the cousin was very solemn and thanked this cousin from the bottom of his heart, otherwise he still has two children there, maybe even his wife will be gone.

At the suggestion of the eldest aunt, Zhou Xiaofu reluctantly drank the wine, after all, the cousin was an elder, and it was a bit impolite to drink the wine toasted by the elders.

The dinner ended quickly, and Wang Errong walked up to Zhou Xiaofu and whispered when he was scattered: "I'll go to your place to sleep at night." ”

Before he finished speaking, he heard the old lady's Hong Zhong-like voice and said, "Errong, don't quarrel with your cousin tonight, I have something to do with her here." ”

Wang Errong glanced at his proud grandfather, and was immediately discouraged, okay, it was his cousin again.

Zhou Xiaofu smiled apologetically before going back to her yard to change her clothes, preparing to go to the study immediately, and she also had a lot to say to her grandfather. (To be continued) R640
