Shen Mengxi woke up in a trance for a moment, turned his head to look at the pillow towel, and there was a red candle tear on it.

turned over and sat up, she was the only one in the room, and the bedding of Lu Xiuzhi and Qi Youheng next to her had been folded. She touched her forehead, went barefoot to the mirror of the high and low cabinets, and looked at it, but there was no trace.

Looking out from the door, across the living room, you can hear the sound of Lu Xiuzhi's dumplings fluttering in the kitchen, and habitually patted the curtain, making a bang, and then the spoon pushed the bottom of the iron pot to make a rough sound, which made people can't help but imagine the chubby dumplings rolling in the pot.

Shen Mengxi was like a dream, turned his head to look at the blue sky between the window flowers, crawled back to the quilt, pulled the quilt to his neck, and closed his eyes.

She knew in her heart that the Qi family did not believe that Mrs. Qi taught her medical skills, because when Mrs. Qi died, she was only three years old, and it was impossible for her to learn acupuncture and understand medical science.

It's just that they haven't seriously pursued it out of a sense of evasion.

Now there is the Wong Tai Sin incident, which has given her and the Qi family a ready-made reason.

There was a sound of a spoon knocking on the edge of the pot from the kitchen, Qi Jian opened the door and walked into the front room, pinching Shen Mengxi's face with his cold hand, "Get up and eat dumplings!" Lazy Pig Pig! ”

"Sunflower ......" Shen Mengxi got up and reached out to order.

"Oops! No, I can't do it! "Qi Wei, who had been prepared for a long time, withdrew his hand and dodged." I slept until eight o'clock, got dressed, and ate dumplings! Qi Health Care gave Shen Mengxi the cotton jacket and cotton pants placed on the kang head, and also helped her put the socks on her feet and strangled the hem of the line pants to make it easier to wear cotton pants.

"I'll do it myself!" Shen Mengxi quickly put on cotton pants and a cotton jacket and got off the kang.

"Don't worry, the dumplings haven't come out of the pot yet."

"I want to go to the toilet!"

"Orb!" Qi Jian picked her up, "Give my brother a pulse again?" ”

"Poop?" Shen Mengxi frowned and glared at Qi Health with a look of disgust.

Qi was happy, "Then you can give acupuncture to the eldest brother!" ”

looked at my sister still confused, "It's a needle!" He pointed to his left leg.

Shen Mengxi shook his head again and again, "I don't get needles!" I don't have any colds now, I don't get needles! After saying that, he struggled to run out.

"Okay, let's not get needles. Slow down! Qi Jian followed her out with a smile, and when he went out of the second door, he buttoned a cotton hat of his own on her head.

Shen Mengxi put on a big hat and ran towards the toilet in the corner of the vegetable garden, his eyes slipped, and he saw a little blood stains in the hidden place next to the house and the stick, and secretly mourned for the black dog in his heart.

Back in the house, she quietly glanced at Qi Youheng and his wife, only to see that they looked relieved and relaxed, and Lu Xiuzhi greeted happily: "Zhuzhu wash your hands quickly, eat dumplings and eat dumplings!" ”

Qi Youheng said even louder: "Let's go!" ”

Qi security guard also shouted: "Eat, eat!" ”

In the small kitchen, a family of seven sat tightly around, the dumplings on the table were steaming, and behind the white air were smiling faces, and an atmosphere called happiness rippled.

- Shen Mengxi's difficult problem to justify himself has been solved invisibly with loopholes.

Real relatives, you only need to give them a vague direction, a small reason, and they will automatically consciously solve their doubts without even your words.

Shen Mengxi lowered his head and blew on the dumplings, dipped them in a little vinegar, and took a bite gently.

******

After the Lantern Festival, school is basically about to start.

On the evening of the seventeenth day of the first lunar month, Zhang Xianfeng's family came as promised, and the four of them returned to Shanghai for the New Year this year, not long after returning to Jiayang.

As soon as he entered the door, Zhang Xianfeng said: "Ouch, Brother Qi, it's back, I'm suffocated!" What's the matter, I can't get used to living in Shanghai now! A few days ago, as soon as I returned to my father-in-law's house, I lay down on the big kang and burned hot, and my heart immediately opened up! ”

"Hahaha!" The two laughed, and Qi Youheng let him sit down on the sofa in the living room, "I've only heard that educated youths desperately want to go back to the city, but I've never seen you in the Northeast like this!" ”

"Alas, I am an outlier, and I am used to the heroism of the Northeasterners!" Zhang Xianfeng's chest thumped. "I went back to my father-in-law's house for the Lantern Festival, I went to report to the unit yesterday, and I hurried to Brother Qi's house to visit today!" Zhang Xianfeng called his son Zhang Ming and asked him to bring the gift he brought.

Zhang Xianfeng's wife Zhai Lijun was catching up with Lu Xiuzhi in the kitchen, talking about what she had seen and heard in Shanghai, and when she saw this, she said: "Hey, don't worry about it, there is me!" ”

"Okay!" The heroic Zhang Xianfeng revealed the bottom in a word.

Shen Mengxi burst out laughing, and Zhang Liang laughed too.

Zhang Xianfeng is eight years younger than Qi Youheng, he is a Shanghai educated youth who settled in Taiping Village in the countryside in 70 years, and took root in the frontier after coming, and later married Zhai Lijun and gave birth to two sons. Zhang Xianfeng's grades were not satisfactory, and he was not admitted to university, so he continued to stay in Jiayang and live a solid life.

Zhai Lijun works in the county Xinhua bookstore, four years younger than Zhang Xianfeng, thirty-three years old this year, very beautiful, permed fashionable curly hair, wearing a sky blue ski shirt today, the only one in Jiayang County, Lu Xiuzhi was amazed, Zhai Lijun also took it off for her to try it on, Lu Xiuzhi wore it to the living room and looked in the mirror, and came out and said: "I have a big bone shelf, and I don't look good as you." ”

Zhai Lijun greeted Shen Mengxi: "Daughter-in-law! Come and give your old woman a New Year's greeting, and the old woman will give you money! ”

Not again! Shen Mengxi lamented in his heart, but he could only go over to pay New Year's greetings: "Aunt Zhai has a good New Year!" Happy New Year Uncle Zhang! ”

Zhai Lijun laughed and said, "Okay, good! Stuffed a brand-new "big white edge" into Shen Mengxi's pocket, and took out another one and stuffed it to Qi security guards, and when they arrived at Qi Baoping and Qi Baokang, they refused because they were too old, but Zhai Lijun didn't comply, saying that they were all children before they went to work, and they were given ten yuan.

Qi Health Care is really free when he goes to work, Zhai Lijun looked Qi Health Care up and down, and praised it, "Look at it!" This is the real man! Sister Xiuzhi, you don't know, when I arrived in Shanghai, what I saw was a cream student with a water, and he spoke softly, so how can he be called a man! That day, I saw two old men scolding and fighting on the street, both pointing at each other with one finger, jumping and scolding so much that spit flew all over the sky, but the two of them scolded farther and farther, so anxious that I couldn't wait to go up and punch them! Everyone laughed.

"Oh mom, I can't stand southern men the most!" Zhai Lijun shook her head and smiled after speaking.

Lu Xiuzhi listened, "Xianfeng was not happy to hear it. ”

"He doesn't count! He's a pure Northeast man now! ”

Zhang Xianfeng laughed in the living room, obviously pleased.

Zhai Lijun took things out of the bag she brought, first of all, a bright yellow girl's ski shirt and a pair of jeans. "Come over to Zhuzhu, try it out!" Regardless of whether Shen Mengxi was happy or not, he put it on for her. "Why do you buy her clothes every year!" Lu Xiuzhi was disgusted.

"I like to dress up as a little girl, but unfortunately I don't have a girl either. I deliberately bought a little bigger, and I can still wear it next year. Look at it, you see, how beautiful! It still looks white! ”

Zhang Liang said on the side: "People's beads are white! ”

Zhai Lijun choked, stood up straight, and glanced at her son, "You kid, you don't have the courage of a Northeast master!" ”

Zhang Xianfeng laughed, "It's not temperament, it's that I know that I feel sorry for my wife!" My son is up to me! ”

"Go, go, you're everywhere!" Zhai Lijun smiled with disgust.
