Chapter 49: Zhou Dali
Xia Yun trotted all the way, until he got out of the community and arrived on the street, he slowly stopped, and the Heizi who was running in front of him suddenly felt a tightness in his neck, and was pulled by the rope, and also stopped, sitting on the ground and sticking out his tongue and looking at Xia Yun.
Xia Yun smiled, didn't speak, slowed down, and walked slowly forward with the rope, Heizi ran around Xia Yun left and right twice, and then followed Xia Yun, trotting briskly.
After walking for about twenty minutes, the sky was gradually starting to darken, Xia Yun stopped at the door of a community that was a little old and looked a little old, took out the phone, and dialed a number.
"Vigorously, not at home?"
Zhou Dali, Xia Yun's cousin, is one year younger than him and is the son of his eldest aunt.
Xia Yun's father has three brothers and two sisters, of which there are three in Licheng, namely Xia Yun's father Xia Herong, eldest aunt Xia Chencai and little aunt Xia Chenfang. The other two, the second uncle Xia and Xin went to Minnan Province to work hard when Xia Yun was very young and stayed there to take root, while the younger uncle Xia and Biao stayed in the countryside with their grandfather.
Among the siblings, Xia Yun's father is the eldest, but the best family situation is Xia Yun's aunt Xia Chenfang, and the youngest uncle Zhang Jiyong is the director of the county education bureau, and the only official among Xia Yun's relatives around him...... Of course, village officials don't count.
The last time Xia Yun saw him was when his cousin Zhou Dali got married three years ago, he had a very light impression of him, he only remembered that he was tall, with a straight suit and a shiny face, and the second aunt was an authentic Hokkien person, with a Hokkien accent, Xia Yun always felt that they were a little out of place with his local relatives.
As for the uncle Xia Hebiao, he has been staying in his hometown, guarding the family's more than a dozen acres of land and a few mountains with his grandparents, and he is the youngest among the brothers, but he looks the oldest, every time Xia Yun comes home, the uncle will always let his cousin Xia Yongqing bring some bamboo shoots, roast chicken, smoked goose, hares and other homemade souvenirs from his hometown.
In contrast, the situation of the eldest aunt is much worse, and the uncle Zhou Dingkai is two years later than Xia Yun's father went to Licheng to work hard, and he has not been able to buy a house yet, a few years ago, the eldest aunt had a serious illness, not to mention all the savings of decades of hard work, and lost the ability to work, the whole family relied on the eldest aunt to work as a sewing worker in the garment factory alone to support the family, and even Xia Yun's cousin Zhou Dali's marriage was prepared for him by Xia Yun's parents and uncle.
It wasn't until the past two years that Zhou Dali relied on the relationship of his little uncle Zhang Jiyong to enter the county's traffic police brigade, and the situation at home improved slightly.
And Xia Yun's mother's side...... From childhood to adulthood, not a single relative has ever appeared.
Xia Yun only vaguely heard that his mother was in the late stage of the Great Famine, and other people's families couldn't support him, so he sent his mother to Xiajia Village, and was later adopted by his grandfather and became a child daughter-in-law for his father.
About his mother, Xia Yun didn't dare to ask when he was a child, but when he grew up, he had no interest in asking, no matter what, it was his own mother, wasn't it.
…………
When Xia Yun was downstairs in the community, Zhou Dali had already gotten off work and was having dinner with his wife, father-in-law, and mother-in-law.
He's been having a hard time lately!
After getting married, he couldn't afford to buy a house because of his family's conditions, so he and his wife have been living in his father-in-law's house.
Originally, with the help of my uncle, I gave a lot of gifts and entered the traffic police team, relying on this oil and water work, Zhou Dali and his wife worked hard for a few years, borrowed some money from relatives on his father-in-law's side, and with the help of his parents and father-in-law, he finally managed to make enough money to buy a small house.
When he was planning to buy a house, his uncle had a car accident, he went to the hospital with his mother to visit, and listened to his aunt and eldest brother discuss there, the operation fee was not enough, and there was a difference of 50,000 yuan.
I was happy at the time, but when I got home, my wife made a big fuss with myself after she knew what she said, and she still picked her nose and eyes at herself, and her mother-in-law, who had always looked at her unpleasantly, was even more sneering, and said something embarrassing to him.
The phone rang, Zhou Dali looked at the caller ID on the screen, was slightly stunned, and connected the phone, "Big brother? ”
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the expressionless wife eating on the table, and his father-in-law and mother-in-law looked at this side at the same time.
Zhou Dali is the oldest among his cousins, and the second among his cousins, and he calls the eldest brother naturally only Xia Yun, who had a car accident some time ago and borrowed 50,000 yuan from Zhou Dali.
"At home, eating. Yes? Are you downstairs? Big brother, when did you come back? ”
"So, I'll go down to you? Oh! Oh! Okay, I'll wait for you at home......"
Putting down the phone, seeing his wife's father-in-law and mother-in-law looking at him at the same time and not speaking, he scratched his head and said in a low voice, "It's my eldest brother Xia Yun, he said that he was downstairs in our house, and he had something to do with me, so he would come up immediately!" ”
Zhou Dali's wife Zheng Haiyan frowned when she heard this, "Why is he here again?" Could it be that the 50,000 yuan borrowed from us last time was not enough, and this time you plan to be cheeky to borrow money? Your eldest brother is like this! ”
Zhou Dali's father-in-law and mother-in-law glanced at each other and did not speak, but there was obviously this idea in their eyes.
Zhou Dali glared at Zheng Haiyan a little angrily, "Don't talk nonsense, my eldest brother is not that kind of person, and even if he comes to borrow money, we should help if we can, if it weren't for my uncle's help over the years, I don't know what my family's life would have become." ”
Zheng Haiyan got angry when she mentioned this, "So you lent him the money we used to buy a house?" So grateful to them, you just give them all the money and don't live your own life......"
Seeing that Zhou Dali frowned and was silent, Zheng Haiyan "snapped", slapped the chopsticks on the table, and glared, "Zhou Dali, let me tell you, if you dare to lend money again today, I will divorce you, I will do what I say!" ”
Zhou Dali's father-in-law, Zheng Xinjie, looked at Zhou Dali and his daughter Zheng Haiyan, put down the dishes and chopsticks, sighed, and said to Zhou Dali, "Dali, Dad told you, your uncle, you just need to count the number of favors, don't slap your swollen face and become fat, you said that you can't even take care of yourself, why do you care about other people so much?" ”
Zhou Dali's mother-in-law next to her didn't have such a good tone, and said in a weird manner, "Yes, why don't you just go to their house and be their sons, don't keep crowding us here, eat us and drink ours, and throw money out when it's over, I will be angry when I see it!" ”
Zheng Haiyan saw Zhou Dali's face flushed, knowing that what her mother said was a little too much, she was afraid that Zhou Dali would not be able to stand it, so she hurriedly took her mother's hand, and her voice was elongated, "Mom......!" ”
Zheng Xinjie also glared at his wife and said in a low voice, "You shut up for me and say a few words!" ”
Turning his head to Zhou Dali, he said, "Dali, your mother has this temper, the knife mouth is tofu heart, don't go to your heart......"
Zhou Dali's fists clenched and loosened, and he was about to speak, when the doorbell rang, he paused, and said to his father-in-law and mother-in-law, "My brother is here, I'll go open the door for him!" ”
Without waiting for them to reply, he stood up, walked to the door, took a deep breath, put on a smiling face, and then opened the door.
