Chapter 134: The eldest cousin's family holds a banquet
When I was about to arrive at my eldest cousin's house, I could hear the sound of firecrackers in the distance.
Among the tiled houses, only their house is the best repaired, and red lanterns are hung high on it, and red paper is pasted on it, which looks like they are doing a happy event.
"Mom, that's it, that's my cousin's house, speaking of which, this house is really well repaired, and it should be one of the best in the village. Chen Meilan didn't think much about it, she just sighed, and she didn't notice the complicated expression of Li Chunhua next to her.
In the end they paid and got out of the ox cart.
Soon someone came up with a cigarette and tea, and a man who looked very big walked in.
Looking at them, he seemed to look at them for a while, thinking about who it was, but soon when his eyes fell on Li Chunhua's body, he immediately landed.
"Oh, Chunhua, it's been a long time, these are your three daughters, I remember when I went to your house before, I saw that your three daughters were thin and small, and they were already so big in a blink of an eye. ”
The man said as his gaze fell on them.
For some reason, this kind of gaze is not like the gaze of a loving elder, but like looking at a piece of goods, which inexplicably makes people feel a little uncomfortable.
Li Chunhua will be a little restrained in front of this man, and she can't let go: "You came to see them when they were only a few years old, and I haven't seen them for more than ten years." ”
Chen Meilan was surprised when she heard it.
It's also a cousin, how can I not see each other for more than ten years?
This relationship is too unfamiliar.
"Come, Meilan, Meiling, Meifeng, a few of you, call your cousin. After Li Chunhua finished sighing, she beckoned her daughters to call people.
This man is indeed the eldest cousin.
They didn't hesitate, they called people obediently, and soon, the eldest cousin wrapped a red envelope for them: "Good, let's go in, Chunhua, today's dishes are all good, I know your family is not very good, I'm afraid I haven't eaten meat for a long time, today you can eat openly, and in the end it's no problem to pack it." ”
As he spoke, the eldest cousin seemed to have a mocking look on his face.
If Chen Meilan couldn't feel the malice of the man in front of her at this time, she was really blind.
What kind of big cousin, the exit is to mock them.
Chen Meilan frowned, and then said with a smile: "What the eldest cousin said is right, we are tired of eating some chicken, duck and fish every day, the eldest cousin is so generous here, there will definitely be sea cucumber and abalone, then we will be polite at that time, and we will definitely pack a little." ”
Chen Meilan is indeed not polite, as soon as she opens her mouth, it is sea cucumber and abalone, but how can the big cousin's family take these things?
Even if they entertain guests, they are just chickens, ducks and fish.
So when I heard her say this, the expression on her face was a little strange.
He originally wanted to mock them, but was put on a stand by Chen Meilan.
"You're Meilan, right, Meilan, my uncle told you to be honest, but don't talk big. The eldest cousin almost pointed at their noses and said that they were lying.
Chen Meilan also responded to him with a smile: "Uncle, I have something I want to tell you, you have to be a conscience, uncle can actually be more careful with us, how can anyone be good to relatives is to let relatives pack leftovers, if uncle really wants my mother to eat a good meal, he should have already divided a meal and waited for my mother to pack it." ”
Her eyes were sparkling and full of innocence, as if she didn't know the crooked ways inside.
But this sentence is also a reminder to him.
If it was really for her mother's good, she should have already packed the meals and put them aside.
Instead of telling her mom to let the leftovers take back, it's not hospitality.
The eldest cousin understood, and it was precisely because he understood that the look on his face was a little strange.
When did this little girl become so sharp-toothed?
He remembered that when he saw these three little girls before, they were all clumsy.
He also laughed at his cousin, and he could only give birth to a daughter.
As a result, now there is a water spirit who is racing one by one, as well as the clothes he is wearing, and the eldest cousin is also a person who has seen the world, and knows that they are all good goods in the city.
He would have said that kind of mocking thing just now, not only because he had always looked down on Li Chunhua, but also because he was not angry when he saw her living conditions suddenly improve.
"Meilan is right, that's right, okay, don't stand outside, come in quickly, it's going to be dinner later. The eldest cousin probably knew that he couldn't talk about Chen Meilan, so he simply skimmed over the topic and beckoned them in.
Chen Meilan and the others went in together.
I saw the groom and the bride, the groom was an ordinary man who was a little tall and a little fat, and the bride was a little good-looking.
However, Li Chunhua just sat on the side with a cup of tea, and did not plan to step forward.
Chen Meilan let her two younger sisters move freely, as long as they don't collide with the guests.
The two younger sisters also had acquaintances in Chenjia Village before, and they met their former playmates, so they went up to find acquaintances.
Chen Meilan came to her mother and asked her: "Mom, I can feel that you seem to be very repulsed by your eldest cousin's family, if it weren't for your relatives, you probably wouldn't have come here, can you tell me the reason?"
She actually didn't want to mention her mother's sadness, but some things can only be comforted if they are said.
Li Chunhua listened and sighed heavily: "Speaking of which, it's not a big deal, but it's just a little fight of children, when I was a child, I was introverted, in fact, my eldest cousin didn't bully me less, and the eldest cousin's family is superior, and our family has always been very poor, so I always can't raise my head in front of him." ”
Of course, Chen Meilan will not believe that it is that simple.
Although it is only a brief introduction, it is associated with the attitude of the eldest cousin.
She was already able to come up with a lot.
Although they are cousins, the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, and the mother is a girl, so I am afraid that there will be a lot of bullying, and the eldest cousin has such a high-minded attitude just now, as if it has become a habit to despise the mother, so he does not take the person in front of him in his eyes.
Chen Meilan thought of that arrogant gaze, and she was not angry for a while.
Do you really think you're a powerful person?
It's really a dog's eye looking down on people.
Chen Meilan already had a preliminary idea in her heart, but she didn't say anything, just patted her mother's shoulder: "If Mom doesn't want to stay here, let's wait and leave, it's not a big deal anyway." ”
