Chapter XII

It was no one else who came in, the woman dressed as a noble lady in the lead was Xie Shuyao's mother, and the two people who followed Xie Shuyao's mother, Xie Shuyao didn't know her, but she thought that her mother would pick up people at the station early in the morning, and she thought that these two people were the ones to pick up today. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 info Xie Shuyao thought in her heart.

"Yiya~" Father Xie waved at Mother Xie who was not far away and shouted softly.

When Father Xie saw someone coming, he smiled at the somewhat fat woman and his wife and quipped: "Yiya, should you pick up Mrs. Hu!" ”

After Mother Xie threw a roll of the eyes to Father Xie, she whispered something in the ear of another young woman in white who was traveling next to her, and Mrs. Hu next to her smiled at Father Xie and explained, "I just happened to meet the two of them on the street, so I came here to eat together." ”

Xie Shuyao looked at her father who was snubbed by her mother with some amusement, and when the fat woman spoke, she carefully looked at the two strange women in front of her. This somewhat fat woman has a rich and noble face, a few thin wrinkles have climbed up the corners of her eyes, her hair is dotted with a little silver-white hair, and her height is half a head shorter than herself, Xie Shuyao estimated that this person is about one meter and a half tall; Look at the woman who is happily holding her mother's face, the woman's face is like peach blossoms, the pear blossoms in March are like snow-white skin, the body is like a willow slender waist, the black curly hair is draped over the shoulders like a waterfall, and the white cheongsam highlights the woman's elegant and refined temperament, through her clear eyes, it seems that you can see the calm and beautiful world in her heart.

A poem that Xie Shuyao had seen suddenly appeared in his mind: "There are many escapes, lightness and non-self-control." Taste the peerless color, and restore the posture of the city. That's not an exaggeration for her.

Father Xie looked at his wife suspiciously, and asked, "By the way, Yiya, who is this?" ”

Xie Shuyao saw her mother put down the black suitcase, pulled the young and beautiful woman, and introduced herself and her father with a happy face: "This is my second sister's daughter - Bai Ruolin. Linlin, this is what I told you before, my crazy girl - Yaoyao. ”

With a slight sweet smile, he nodded slightly and said, "Uncle." ”

Xie Shuyao remembered that she had heard her mother say that her second aunt seemed to be married to Fengtian outside the Guan, and Xie Shuyao, who had sorted out the relationship, saw the beautiful cousin in front of her, and took the initiative to reach out and hold the cousin's Qianqiansu hand, and praised Bai Ruolin's cousin affectionately: "Cousin, I didn't expect you to be so beautiful!" ”

"Sister, you're also beautiful and cute!" Bai Ruolin exhaled like an orchid, and her voice was as melodious as a nightingale.

As soon as Xie Shuyao heard the beautiful and lovely words, a trace of loneliness flashed in her eyes, but this trace of loneliness floated into Bai Ruolin's eyes. Xie Shuyao just smiled faintly and no longer responded verbally.

"Oh, I almost forgot, Shu Yao, this is your Aunt Jiang." Mother Xie enthusiastically introduced.

"Aunt Jiang is good." Xie Shuyao shouted enthusiastically.

"Come—don't stand, let's sit down and talk slowly." Father Xie reminded with a smile on the side.

A table of people sat around the wooden table, and Father Xie was also bold, called the guys in the store, and ordered a lot of things. Because of the sudden addition of Xie Mu, they ordered a lot of things, first, there were too many people, and the things they ordered before were naturally not enough to eat; The second is to wash the dust for the arrival of my cousin, and to treat my cousin who has worked hard along the way.

In the small talk, Xie Shuyao realized that this rich Aunt Jiang (Mrs. Hu) turned out to be Hu Shi's wife, named Jiang Dongxiu, who was Hu Shi's pro-mar at the behest of his parents. Xie Shuyao looked at this Mrs. Hu carefully and curiously, and saw that she was kind and approachable, and she didn't look like a tigress at all when she talked and laughed, and she didn't look like a ruthless character who could manage Mr. Hu Shi well, Xie Shuyao couldn't understand how this person could protect his marriage.

Regarding her cousin, Mother Xie just briefly introduced her at the dinner table, and kept praising her as a niece she liked, and by the way, she also belittled her daughter Xie Shuyao. Xie Shuyao listened to her mother belittle herself a little helplessly, ignored Xie's mother's nagging, and instead pulled Bai Ruolin's cousin's smooth and tender little hand, in line with the routine of hooking up with her sister in her previous life, she almost got close to her cousin Bai Ruolin, and amused her cousin by playing a few interesting things, and the relationship between the two was also a lot closer in talking and laughing.

Xie Shuyao talked a lot with Bai Ruolin's cousin, and Xie Shuyao learned that this cousin graduated from a church girls' school, and used to work as an art teacher in a primary school in Fengtian. Later, the second aunt knew that her sister's family had come to Beiping, and when she thought that she hadn't seen her for seven or eight years, she asked her cousin, who had nothing to do at home, to come to Beiping first, and the second aunt still had some things to deal with in Fengtian, and when the second aunt was done, she would come to Beiping to meet Xie Shuyao's mother. As soon as Mother Xie heard this, she couldn't wait to smile with joy, Xie Shuyao didn't have as much expectations for this second aunt as Mother Xie, in Xie Shuyao's opinion, this was just a stranger who was related to her by blood.

During the conversation, the shopkeeper brought up the barbecue ordered by Xie Shuyao's father and daughter before, the barbecue is the kind of cut meat slices, after being roasted on an iron grill, put it on a plate, and then bring it to the table, on the table are several plates of different sauces, sesame sauce, etc. for the guests to dip and eat. Xie Shuyao was a little disappointed, the barbecue was indeed delicious, tender and delicious, but for some reason he always felt that something was missing, but he couldn't think of it for a while.

Xie Shuyao raised the wine glass and took a sip of it herself, Xie Mother saw that her daughter actually raised the wine glass and drank it, slightly frowned and stared at Xie Shuyao with a serious face: "Yaoyao, why are you drinking again, didn't you let you drink?" ”

Mother Xie's voice exploded in her ears, Xie Shuyao didn't understand why her mother reacted so much for a while, why can't I drink? Xie Shuyao was subconsciously frightened by Xie's mother, and after obediently putting down the wine glass, she remembered that she had stolen a bottle of good wine from her grandfather a few years ago, and that time she remembered that she had drunk a little too much, and Xie Shuyao didn't know what happened after she got drunk. Xie Shuyao tried to ask herself what happened after she got drunk, and Xie Shuyao's father and Xie mother told Xie Shuyao that after she was drunk, the whole person ran around like crazy, crying for a while and laughing for a while, and her mouth was full of nonsense, saying everything that was blocked; At that time, Xie Shuyao was frightened by Xie's father and mother, and it took a lot of people to finally arrest Xie Shuyao home, and locked him in the house to cry miserably, Xie Shuyao knew that he had actually done these farces after drinking, and he never took the initiative to touch the smell of alcohol again.

And since that time, Xie Mu has never let Xie Shuyao get a little wine. Xie Shuyao thought of this, looked at her mother who was nervous and frowned, and lowered her head silently with some embarrassment; Seeing his mother's gloomy face and turning to look at his father, Xie Shuyao naturally knew how powerful his mother was, and he didn't dare to say anything, Xie Shuyao raised his eyelids in embarrassment and secretly looked at his father who was angry, and silently pinched a cold sweat for his innocent father, and could only be a silent bystander on the sidelines.

"Thank you! Yaoyao drinks this is what you taught to drink? Mother Xie turned her anger to Father Xie again, and shouted loudly.

Hurriedly put the chopsticks in his hand neatly on the plate in front of him, smiled unhurriedly, picked up the side of the wine jug and poured the wine glass, and said slowly: "Madam-don't be in a hurry, taste this glass of wine before it's too late." ”

Mother Xie didn't know what kind of drama her husband was going to play, so she took the wine glass held by Father Xie in disbelief, and tasted it carefully, the sweet and mellow wine exuded a thick fragrance in the mouth, although it was slightly bitter, but because of this slight bitterness, it increased the mellow and thick of the wine, and Mother Xie couldn't help but ask in surprise: "It's delicious, it's not like wine, it's like a bier." ”

“beer――？ Beer? Xie Shuyao didn't react for a while, and after thinking for a while, he remembered that it seemed to mean beer, so he said suspiciously.

"Well, bier is a foreign wine that your father and I drank in Germany, and it was a very good wine." As soon as Xie Mu talked about this wine, she explained with nostalgia.

"The sake we drink now is similar to that made from fermented rice wine, so men, women and children can drink a few glasses. Mrs. Jiang, Ruolin can also taste a few cups! Father Xie picked up the celadon wine jug and filled a glass for each of them, and calmly answered for everyone.

After Mrs. Jiang and Bai Ruolin heard this, they also poured a glass curiously, and tasted it carefully, as it was, it was so delicious and sweet, and they couldn't feel the slightest spicy taste of alcohol, and the aroma of the wine lingered in their mouths for a long time, it was indeed a very enjoyable taste, and they couldn't help but take an extra sip.

"Although this wine is delicious, you can't be greedy, and if you drink too much, it will be intoxicating." Father Xie reminded with a slight smile.

Xie Shuyao had never drunk such a delicious wine in later generations, and he couldn't drink the slightest taste of alcohol, leaving only a lingering and unforgettable taste. Xie Shuyao saw her mother's relaxed brows and an expression of enjoyment, Xie Shuyao naturally saw that her mother had approved of this wine, and it was no problem to drink some by herself.

When Xie Shuyao, who was in a good mood, picked up the wine jug and was about to add some wine to his glass, he found that the wine jug was empty, and looked at his mother with some hope and said, "Mom, the wine is gone-"

Mother Xie squinted and looked at her daughter with a smile, and when she saw her daughter's eager eyes, she naturally knew what her daughter's idea was, so she called the guy who ran the hall in the store, shook the empty wine jug in his hand and said, "Man, have another pot of this wine." ”

Seeing that his mother ordered another pot of this fine wine, Xie Shuyao also specially sandwiched a few pieces of barbecue meat carefully dipped in sauce for her mother, which won her mother to praise her daughter for being very sensible.

The guy who ran the hall in the store quickly filled the wine jug with fine wine and brought it up enthusiastically, Xie Shuyao stared at the wine jug that was placed on the table, for fear that it would run away if he was not careful. As soon as the wine jug was put down, Xie Shuyao rushed to take the wine jug, carefully filled his wine glass, and the delighted Xie Shuyao just stared at the wine in the glass in front of him, but didn't notice Xie Mu with a sly look on the side.

Just as Xie Shuyao was about to pick up the wine glass, Xie Mu's voice interrupted Xie Shuyao's good mood, and Xie Mu said casually: "Yaoyao, this is your last glass, don't worry!" ”

"Mom-" Xie Shuyao pleaded with a bitter face.

"What's the matter, don't you want to drink this cup anymore?" Mother Xie squinted her eyes and smiled as she looked at her daughter and said softly and threateningly.

The cousin Bai Ruolin on the side couldn't stand the pitiful expression of her lovely sister, and couldn't help but plead for Xie Shuyao to Xie's mother: "Auntie, I can't help but want to drink a few more sips of this wine, just let Sister Shuyao drink a few more glasses!" After speaking, he quietly passed a kind smile to Shu Yao.

"Linlin, you don't know, after your sister drinks, she is very drunk! Can't drink too much, this cup is enough for her to drink. Mother Xie first smiled at Bai Ruolin and said, and then still smiled at her daughter.

When Xie Shuyao saw her mother say this, she wanted to say something, but after being turned around by Xie's mother and glanced at it with a smile, Xie Shuyao, who was a little timid, had no choice but to swallow the words that came to her mouth into her stomach. Seeing his cousin Bai Ruolin's apologetic looks, Xie Shuyao took advantage of her mother to turn her head and secretly grimaced at her mother, and then smiled at her cousin that it was no big deal.

……

The meal was quickly finished, and Mother Xie couldn't resist the temptation of mahjong, so after entrusting her cousin to Father Xie and Xie Shuyao, she went to the mahjong field with Mrs. Jiang. Xie Shuyao looked at the irresponsible mother in a rickshaw with disdain, and it was too hasty to treat her guests like this!

Father Xie carried his cousin's heavy black suitcase and took three rickshaws home. Back in the courtyard on Jingshan East Street, Xie Shuyao moved his things to the stinky room of his second brother next door, vacated his room, and placed his cousin Bai Ruolin in his room. Xie Shuyao actually felt that it was okay to let herself sleep in the same bed with her cousin, as soon as this idea was raised, although her cousin also agreed, because Bai Ruolin felt that she didn't want to trouble her aunt's family, besides, the two of them were girls, and it would not be a big deal to sleep together. But Xie's mother, who was familiar with her daughter's sleeping habits, immediately rejected Xie Shuyao's proposal, because Xie's mother still remembered that she was kicked awake by her daughter in the middle of the night many times, or she would not let go if she hugged you like a dog skin plaster, and she couldn't wake her up no matter what, so she would hug you all night. As soon as she thought of this, Xie's mother vetoed her daughter's proposal, she couldn't let her niece suffer from this crime, her daughter was too dishonest to sleep.

Of course, Xie Shuyao didn't know about her bad sleeping habits, because Xie Mu didn't know what her psychology was, so she never told Xie Shuyao.
