Afternoon.

Because there were relatives coming over, after returning from car practice, after sitting for a while, Xu Ying was going back with Qin Qiaoyun, and the café was closed early.

Summer nights always come late, and at six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky is still bright, and it is not until seven or eight o'clock that the night slowly falls.

Everyone is gone, the house is empty, only one is left, the joke shrugs his shoulders, anyway, he is bored, after eating dinner alone, he practices the piano, runs on the treadmill, and then plays with his mobile phone with nothing to do, chatting with friends.

At the same time, because relatives came to the family, on the way back, Qin Qiaoyun and Xu Ying bought a lot of vegetables on the way, so they went back relatively late.

He and Qin Qiaoyun returned home with vegetables, and as soon as they opened the door, Xu Ying heard a conversation in the living room.

As soon as they entered, the people in the room stopped talking and turned their heads to look.

At the same time, Xu Ying quickly glanced at the people in the living room, in addition to her father, there were three other people, a man with gauze tied to his head, a woman, and an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.

"Uncle, aunt, cousin."

Seeing these three people clearly, Xu Ying greeted them one after another, hiding the impatience in her heart.

"Hey, you're back, you're back so late, did you go somewhere to play?" Xu Ying's aunt answered.

Qin Qiaoyun raised the food in his hand and gestured: "Hey, how can you have time to play, we went to buy vegetables, and we knew that you were going to come over, so I bought more vegetables, and it took a lot of time." ”

"We're just coming over for a while, you don't have to buy so many vegetables, it's too expensive, and it's a waste if you can't finish eating, just get something to eat." Seeing that Qin Qiaoyun and Xu Ying were carrying vegetables in their hands, my uncle was a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, you can put it in the refrigerator if you can't finish eating. I'm sorry, I'm coming back so late, you should all be hungry, I'm going to make dinner. ”

Qin Qiaoyun didn't care, put the dishes on the table, went back to the room to change the shoes and clothes on his body, and immediately went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

To wash her hands, Xu Ying sat down on the sofa.

"Hello cousin." The little girl sitting next to her aunt said hello to Xu Ying timidly, looking more afraid.

In this regard, Xu Ying can understand, after all, the two of them can basically see each other once or twice a year, and the parents are easy to say, but the children's generation is not familiar with each other, and they are even quite strangers.

Of course, although they are all quite unfamiliar, out of politeness, Xu Ying responded with a smile: "Xiaoqi, I haven't seen you for a long time, how are you doing in your hometown?" ”

"Well, that's good." The cousin nodded timidly, and her voice was glutinous.

"Talking to my cousin is still so scared, can't you speak loudly?"

was a little dissatisfied with her daughter's performance, and her aunt couldn't help but say something.

Then, she said to Xu Ying helplessly: "When she used to play with you, she was quite lively, but now she doesn't know what's going on, so she has become introverted and afraid of life, although she is honest and well-behaved, but it's not good to be too honest, just like your uncle, she is not very shrewd." ”

"Okay, auntie, don't talk about Xiaoqi, maybe it's because you rarely meet, but now when you meet suddenly, it's normal for Xiaoqi to feel strange, and after getting acquainted, it's fine." Xu Ying replied with a smile, but she slandered in her heart.

Xiaoqi is like her uncle, that's fine, if you like to talk about others behind your back, it's definitely a bad thing.

Saying that, Xu Ying saw that her uncle had finished talking to her father, so she asked with concern, "Uncle, your head."

You okay? Is the injury serious? ”

Although they rarely meet, Xu Ying feels very good about her uncle and cousin, but she simply doesn't like her aunt.

"It's okay, it's just a bump, I've seen it in my hometown, it's not a big deal, but your aunt is not at ease, so she insists on coming to the hospital here to take a look, and by the way, I will come to see you." Uncle replied with a smile.

"You think I'm going to be in such trouble? It's not because you can't even walk down the next floor, you fall down the stairs and break your head, if you hit a concussion or something, then it's troublesome, just to be on the safe side, it's better to come to the city hospital here to have a look. The aunt complained angrily.

"Hehe......"

Regarding his aunt's complaints, my uncle had to smile awkwardly, and then continued to talk about things with District Chief Xu, not wanting to hear so many complaints.

"Cut."

It was boring, my aunt was a little unhappy, and she was bored, so she chatted with Xu Ying and asked her all kinds of questions, such as how the college entrance examination was, what university she wanted to be admitted to, and so on.

As she spoke, the more she talked, the more energetic she became, and even talked about others in front of Xu Ying, saying that who was in her hometown and how was she and so on, it could be said that she was talking to herself.

Although she hated this aunt, out of politeness, Xu Ying looked tireless at first and patiently answered the questions.

And after a long time, Xu Ying became very impatient, especially when she saw that her aunt was still talking about the people in her hometown in front of her, she really wanted her to shut up, and she was so annoyed that she was annoyed.

"Okay, auntie, let's talk about it later, it's hard for my mother to cook so many dishes by herself, I'll help her, so that I can eat early."

Finally, when her aunt finished speaking for the time being, Xu Ying immediately made an excuse to slip away, didn't give her a chance to speak, and ran directly to the kitchen to help Qin Qiaoyun cook dinner.

At this moment, she really had a feeling of being out of the sea of suffering.

"You see how sensible your cousin is, and she will help cook dinner, you have to learn more from her."

My aunt didn't know Xu Ying's inner thoughts at all, but she thought she was very sensible.

"Oh." Xiao Qi answered.

……

This way.

Xu Ying was not there, Duan Zipian was quite bored alone, after doing everything as usual, he took an early shower, lay on the bed, looked at his phone idly, and chatted with Cui Kairui and some friends.

Not long after, he saw a message from Xu Ying.

"Xu Ying: Pity, I miss you, I really want to stay with you, even if I don't do anything......

In this regard, Duan Zi couldn't help but smile and typed on his mobile phone.

"Duan Zilian: You just went back for a while, and you miss me so soon? You're too clingy to me, aren't you?'

"Xu Ying: I'll stick to you, the kind that can't be shaken off. What are you doing now?'

"Duan Zilian: I didn't do anything, I was lying on the bed and chatting with you on my mobile phone."

"Xu Ying: Lying in bed so soon? Didn't you run for exercise?'

"Duan Zilian: I ran away, you and Aunt Qiao went home together, I was bored, so I had dinner early, practiced the piano, ran and exercised, and then lay in bed with nothing to do."

"Xu Ying: That's right, I'm quite conscious."

"Duan Zilian: What about you? Have you finished dinner?'

"Xu Ying: I just finished eating."

"Duan Zilian: Then how do you and your aunt get along?"

After sending this message, Duan Zilian waited for a while before seeing Xu Ying send a few messages in a row

messages.

"Xu Ying: It's okay, I think my uncle and my cousin are pretty good, but I hate my aunt very much."

"Xu Ying: It was okay at first, but after talking too much, she began to talk about others uncontrollably, saying in front of me how someone in her hometown was doing, and making irresponsible remarks."

"Xu Ying: If you just say a sentence or two, it's nothing, but my aunt and she just chatter, from one to that one, to say something unpleasant, this kind of thing just doesn't accumulate virtue, which makes me really annoying."

"Xu Ying: I really can't stand it, and soon after dinner, I said that I want to exchange feelings with my cousin, and then take my cousin back to the room, so that my ears can be calmer."

"Xu Ying: Anyway, I'll stay in the room for the rest of the day, I don't want to go out and pay attention to my aunt, let my parents deal with her, out of sight and out of mind."

Seeing that Xu Ying had sent several messages in a row, put herself in her shoes, and Duan Zilian could understand her situation.

Sometimes, relatives are really helpless, because it is predestined, and you can't choose by yourself like making friends.

If you meet normal relatives, you are very lucky to be able to help each other like friends, but if you meet that kind of strange relatives, it is really bad luck.

If you have that kind of bad relative, you want to stop interacting at all, this is not good, after all, there is still a blood relationship, but if you come and go hard, you may be able to get angry.

Sighing helplessly, Duan Zilian sent a message to comfort Xu Ying.

"Duan Zilian: Hearing you say that, I feel a little sympathetic to you. Take it easy and try to ignore it if you can. (Touch your head. JPG）』

"Xu Ying: Well, that's why I don't want to stay at home, I want to stay with you."

"Duan Zilian: After your aunt and they leave, you can stay with me, until then, you can bear with me."

"Xu Ying: Hmm."

"Duan Zilian: Aren't you exchanging feelings with your cousin in the room, how can you have time to send me a message?"

"Xu Ying: My cousin and I only see each other once or twice a year, not only are we not familiar with each other, but we are even quite strangers, in this case, I talked to her a little, and then there was no topic, I didn't know what to talk about."

"Duan Zilian: But it's not good for you to leave her hanging like this, you don't have to worry about me, let's go talk to your cousin, you girls can talk about a lot of things, even if you don't talk about studying, you can talk about clothes, stars, games, etc."

"Xu Ying: Oh, okay, let's not talk about it, good night."

"Duan Zi Lian: Well, good night."

After ending the chat with Xu Ying, Duan Zilian looked at the ceiling for a while, then brought the computer over, planning to watch a movie to pass the time

Meanwhile.

Xu Ying put down her phone and saw that her cousin was also bored looking at her phone, so after thinking for a while, she took out some snacks from the drawer.

"Xiaoqi, I have some snacks here, you can come and eat together."

Hearing this, Xiaoqi was stunned for a moment, and then shook her head: "No need, cousin, you can eat it yourself." ”

"It's not interesting to eat alone, so come over and eat some, otherwise, I'm going to be angry." Xu Ying put on a look of being ready to get angry.

"Oh......" Afraid that Xu Ying would really be angry, Xiaoqi sat with her, took a bag of snacks, and tore open the bag.

Xu Ying also ate snacks together, thought about it, and kept looking for topics to chat with Xiaoqi.

Chatting and chatting, they gradually became familiar, and the strangeness in their hearts disappeared little by little.
