Chapter 69: Greedy Humans

Under my repeated pushing, Shen Bi finally reluctantly came to Xiaolou with me.

My mom asked me to bring some fruit, but I refused.

If you don't pay New Year's greetings to your grandparents, it's easy to fall into your mouth.

But if you come empty-handed, you won't be said anything.

In that case, I don't have to put something in it.

In this way, I dragged Shen Bi all the way to the small building, climbed to the third floor, and knocked on the door.

It was my grandfather who came to open the door this time, and when he saw us, his eyes narrowed with a smile, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Bi, you are here." ”

"Happy New Year, Grandpa." I tugged on Shen Bi's arm, and the two of them knelt down together and kowtowed to my grandfather.

While helping us up, my grandfather stuffed a red envelope for me and Shen Bi.

When I walked into the living room, my grandmother was sitting there munching melon seeds.

Shen Bi and I also knelt down and kowtowed, saying Happy New Year.

My grandmother glanced at me twice, didn't move, just said, "Get up." ”

Shen Bi and I stood up, and when we didn't see my dad and Widow Zhang, we casually asked, "Grandpa, where is my dad?" ”

"Your dad went out to greet people." My grandfather said with a smile, grabbed two handfuls of melon seeds and stuffed them to Shen Bi and me, "Come, girl, sit down and eat melon seeds." ”

I put the melon seeds in my pocket and didn't eat them, "What about Qiongyu?" Why didn't you see her? ”

"Qiongyu." When my grandfather mentioned this, the smile on his face faded.

My grandmother snorted coldly and said, "Go out and follow your dad to pay New Year's greetings." ”

I was a little surprised, you know, my dad used to dislike us as girls, and he didn't usually take us to visit relatives and friends.

According to local customs, only sons are required to take them with them to visit relatives and friends.

But now, my dad actually took Zhang Qiongyu to ......

I lowered my eyelids and didn't speak, and Shen Bi next to me muttered a few sentences a little unpleasantly.

My grandmother was more unhappy than Shen Bi, and she cursed while spitting out the skin of melon seeds, "It's just a little wild seed, why take her to visit relatives and friends, I said not to let it, that Zhang Min also said that I disliked them as outsiders, but your father took them with him." It's not an outsider, but it's a family, it's like a kiss, I don't want my mother, I don't want it, I married my daughter-in-law and forgot my mother's things. ”

"You can say a few words." My grandfather was very helpless, "This is the New Year, let's stop for a while, Guozheng will bring it if he wants, anyway, there are a few friends nearby." ”

"Then you don't have to bring Zhang Qiongyu, Shen Jiang and Shen Bi are his own children." My grandmother really hated Widow Zhang's mother and daughter, and she unexpectedly said two words to our sisters.

Shen Bi was a little surprised, but I didn't say anything.

After sitting for a while, Shen Bi knocked two mouthfuls of melon seeds boringly, but knocked into a mushy one, and the mouth was uncomfortable to eat, so he pulled me and wanted to leave.

I wanted to get out of here, so I stood up and told my grandparents to leave.

My grandfather stood up and wanted to see me off.

At this moment, my dad came back with Widow Zhang and Zhang Qiongyu.

They didn't seem to expect Shen Bi and I to be here, chatting happily with each other, and I heard Zhang Qiongyu's crisp laughter across the door.

However, after seeing me and Shen Bi, the three of them all stopped talking and looked at us.

I was very unhappy in my heart, so I said hello to my dad and pulled Shen Bi to leave.

"Wait a minute." My dad stopped me, "Have you eaten?" What are you doing here? ”

"It's time to eat." I whispered, "Come to grandparents...... and Dad's New Year's greetings. ”

"You're pretty sensible this time." My dad sighed, and I couldn't tell if he was ridiculing or praising me, "You will leave later, and I will give you the New Year's money." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and took out two crumpled five yuan from his arms and handed them to me and Shen Bi.

Widow Zhang coughed beside her, and my father's hand handed over the money paused, but he still gritted his teeth and gave it over.

Shen Bi and I glanced at each other, but no one reached out to pick it up.

My dad was upset, "What, it's too little?" ”

I quickly reached out and took it, and bowed my head and thanked him, "Thank you, Dad." ”

My dad smiled and didn't squeak.

"Dad, I also want to press the New Year's money." Suddenly, Zhang Qiongyu hugged my dad's arm and said coquettishly, "Qiongyu's previous birthday gift, Dad said that he would make up for 16 years, and Dad will also make up for Qiongyu?" ”

My dad was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he laughed heartily, "Make it up to you, make it up to you, you say you want as much as you want, give it to you." ”

"Dad, I don't want more, just give it to me...... Twenty is enough. Zhang Qiongyu said coquettishly as if no one was around.

My dad had reached into his arms to take out the money, but when he caught a glimpse of me and Shen Jiang who hadn't left yet, his body suddenly froze, "That, Qiongyu...... Dad, I'll give you five dollars first, and I'll talk about it later. ”

said wow, took out a relatively brand-new five pieces, and handed it to Zhang Qiongyu.

Zhang Qiongyu pouted a little unhappily, but didn't say anything else.

I glanced at Zhang Qiongyu coldly, I really had enough of her pretentiousness, and I turned around and wanted to leave.

Suddenly, Zhang Qiongyu called out to me weakly, "Sister Xiaojiang, I heard that Xiaofei went to your house to watch TV yesterday?" ”

I didn't expect this to spread quite quickly.

But after all, it's a rare color TV, so I'm not surprised that Zhang Qiongyu can know, "Yes, what?" ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing. Zhang Qiongyu lowered her head a little aggrieved, "That is, Qiongyu is so big, I haven't seen what a color TV looks like." ”

"That's not simple, just go to Shen Jiang and see it." My dad didn't care.

"But......" Zhang Qiongyu still looked aggrieved, "but Sister Xiaojiang didn't call Qiongyu yesterday." ”

When my dad heard this, his face pulled down and looked at me, "That's your fault, Xiao Jiang, you can even call Zhang Xiaofei, why can't you call Qiongyu?" ”

Is this going to settle accounts with me after the fall?

I smiled and said lightly, "Dad also knows, when I watch TV, it's all people, and there are a lot of naughty boys, Zhang Xiaofei is not afraid of these things, Qiongyu's personality is too weak, I was afraid that she would be afraid, so I didn't call her." Besides, let her watch TV with a bunch of half-grown children, Dad, you don't feel at ease, don't you? ”

My dad was stunned by what I said, "It seems to be the reason." ”

"Dad!" Zhang Qiongyu dragged my father's hand aggrievedly and shook it, "But Qiongyu still wants to take a look at the color TV, it must be much better than the black and white one." ”

"Then Dad will accompany you to see it." My dad frowned and coaxed Qiongyu, "There is a broadcast this afternoon, why don't I accompany you to watch it in the afternoon?" ”

Zhang Qiongyu grinned, and after a while, she put away her smile as if she remembered something, and looked at me cautiously, "But, does Sister Xiao Jiang agree?" ”

I pursed my lips and didn't speak, looking at Zhang Qiongyu's eyes a little unkindly.

This woman seems to be getting more and more powerful recently, and she has brought her hypocrisy and shamelessness into full play.

It's disgusting, I'm going to vomit out my dumplings last night.

"Sister Xiao Jiang, don't you agree?" When Zhang Qiongyu saw my expression, her eyes turned cold, and she threw herself into my father's arms with an aggrieved expression, "If Sister Xiaojiang doesn't agree, then forget it." ”

"Xiao Jiang!" My dad immediately looked at me, and his tone was a little stern, "How can you be so stingy, just watching TV, you can let the neighbors watch it, can you let your sister watch it?" ”

The corners of my mouth twitched, and I just wanted to say, can I not let it.

Shen Bi beside me suddenly stuck her head out from behind me and shouted, "Why should we let her see, it's our house, and she is not welcome." ”

When Zhang Qiongyu heard this, she sobbed in my father's arms.

My dad was very angry, "Shen Bi, you're getting worse and worse now, just watching TV, and you won't lose a piece of meat, as for it?" ”

"I just don't welcome her to our house." Shen Bi said unceremoniously.

My dad's face was completely dark, and it was all the same as the bottom of the pot.

At this moment, Widow Zhang suddenly poked my father with her elbow and said with a smile, "I heard that Xiaojiang, you have a rural bungalow there?" ”

"Yes." I gave the woman a wary look.

If Zhang Qiongyu is just hypocritically pretending to be pitiful, pretending to be a good person, let my father reprimand us.

Then Widow Zhang is a scheming snake, if she doesn't speak, forget it, when she speaks, she will definitely bite someone.

"Oh, it's all a rural bungalow, the anti-theft facilities must be very poor, the door lock or something, I heard that it's not very safe, you put a big color TV there, but be careful." Widow Zhang suddenly exclaimed exaggeratedly.

My grandmother didn't know when she got up from the sofa, and when she heard this, she came up to me and said happily, "Then why don't you move here, not only to prevent thieves, but also to let me see what the color TV looks like, both ...... What a beauty that. ”

When Shen Bi and I heard this, our angry minds were going to be confused.

This is...... In a few words, you want to take away our things?

I know that my grandmother and Widow Zhang are greedy people, but I didn't expect them to be so greedy that they want to move the most valuable things in our family when they say a few words and move their mouths?

It's a dream!

Shen Bi shouted directly at the top of her voice, "That's what we paid for, why did we let you move over, are you crazy, you want everything when you see money?" ”

"Whoever sees the money has an eye open." My grandmother was unhappy, and said angrily, "Didn't I see that you couldn't protect the color TV, in case the thief stole it in the future, then it might as well give it to us, at least you can come and see it in the future." ”

Said ...... It seems to make sense.

I held back the anger in my heart and looked at my grandfather, "Grandpa, it seems that I can't say anything anymore, I heard that we have a color TV, so I want our color TV, I want our store in the future, and then I want our mother's life." You guys are so terrible, we can't afford to mess with them, so we can only stop interacting with each other in the future, so that we can save our lives! ”
