Chu Junlan's words were too harsh, and Chu Lingxi, who was bluffing, didn't dare to shed tears, hiccuped, and said, "I, of course I won't sacrifice my family." I'm just unwilling and resentful. ”

Chu Junlan's face softened slightly, what she was most afraid of was that Chu Lingxi was young, and she couldn't break these things that had drilled the tip of the horns and did something to disrupt the family.

"Lingxi, you have to remember, the family is our root, our safe haven, is our umbrella, you see I am in the palace, even if I am wronged, I am not afraid, because I know that my father and mother support me, no matter how bad I am, I still have brothers and sisters to take refuge in, if the family is strong, no one outside will look up to me, and no one dares to bully me, but what if I don't have this family behind me? Do you think I'm alone? ”

Chu Lingxi nodded: "Sister Lan, I understand." ”

Chu Junlan went to the basin shelf to get a handkerchief, twisted it in the brass basin and handed it to Chu Lingxi: "Since you understand, wipe your face clean, don't let the third aunt worry about you." ”

Chu Lingxi took the handkerchief and wiped his face, tears swirled in his eyes again, but this time he tried his best not to let the tears fall.

"Sister Lan, but I'm so uncomfortable."

Chu Junlan smiled, sat beside Chu Lingxi, put his arm around her shoulders and said, "I know, but no matter how uncomfortable it is, as long as we are alive, we still have to do what we should do, don't you say?" ”

Chu Lingxi wiped his face with a wet handkerchief and nodded: "Yes." ”

Chu Zhan breathed a sigh of relief, took the handkerchief that Chu Lingxi had wiped his face, and went to the basin shelf to wash it and hang it up.

"Okay, you finally want to open it, it seems that it's useless for me to say a hundred words as a brother, so I still have to say you with your sister."

Chu Lingxi's face was a little hot, and he said unconvinced: "How can it be the same, we are sympathetic to each other, you just say a thousand sentences and ten thousand sentences, we also belong to the exchange of patients, Sister Lan is a doctor, she is here to treat the disease, of course her words work!" ”

"You! You have no conscience. Chu Zhan pushed Chu Lingxi's forehead again.

Chu Lingxi covered his head and hid behind Chu Junlan, and the three brothers and sisters all laughed again.

Under the eaves of the porch outside the door, the third aunt Ren took her confidant Mama Li, covered her mouth and waved her hand back with tears streaming down her face, and quietly returned to the main house.

As soon as he entered the house, Ren covered his mouth with a handkerchief and whimpered, and Mama Li also moistened her eyes, and persuaded softly: "Madam, don't be sad, you have been worried for so many days, but fortunately, Sister Xi wants to open it by herself." At least you won't do anything excessive, you should be happy. ”

The third aunt nodded again and again: "Mama doesn't know, I found out that this girl is wrong, and I know her temperament, so I don't dare to say her to my face, for fear of causing her rebellious thoughts, but I don't let her do anything." You said that she is fourteen years old, which is the age when she should discuss her relatives, if she makes any jokes, won't her life be over in the future? I've been scared for the past few days, and I don't dare to tell my uncle about this, nor do I dare to tell my mother-in-law and sister-in-law, I'm going to suffocate to death! ”

"The slave knows the third lady's embarrassment, now it's okay, Sister Xi is not an ignorant person, she is still young, it will be good when she grows up."

"I know, this time it's really thanks to Brother Zhan and Sister Lan, at first I thought that Brother Zhan could persuade her, but if I didn't want to be a brother, I could only stabilize her, I didn't persuade her at all, but Sister Lan made it clear to her in a few words, Mama, did you hear what Sister Lan said just now?"

"The slave hears it."

"Sister Lan is a good child, although she is not born in our family, but she has the same heart as our family, Sister Xi has been doted on by me since she was a child, but she is not as sensible as Sister Lan, who has experienced twists and turns, but fortunately, Sister Xi'er has not become bad in nature."

"Yes, at Sister Xi'er's age, when she is confused, there is a layer of fog in front of her, and someone helps her smooth out her thoughts, so she naturally knows what is most important. These are all things that the girl's family must learn, and Madame will teach them slowly in the future. ”

"What Mama said is that I have written down the love between Sister Lan and Brother Zhan, and I have to think of a way to thank them."

Mama Li thought about it, shook her head and said: "Madame should continue to pretend that she doesn't know, you think, if you rush to thank you, outsiders don't know why, but the parties will have conjectures, and when the time comes, Sister Xi will think more and be embarrassed." The girl's family is thin-skinned, don't hurt her self-esteem. ”

"Yes, yes!" The third aunt nodded again and again, "Thanks to Mama's reminder, I'm happy and confused." What you're saying is that I'd better continue to pretend I don't know anything. I keep the love between Sister Lan and Brother Zhan in my heart and will repay it later. ”

"yes, it's a long time coming."

……

Chu Junlan was trying his best to solve Chu Lingxi, and this was at home and was not fortified, so he didn't know that there was someone outside the window just now.

Chu Lingxi thought about it, the depression in her heart dissipated, and her spirit immediately improved, Chu Junlan massaged her a few more acupuncture points, and even the slight nasal congestion was cleared. At dinner, I changed my clothes and went to the old lady's Chunhui Garden to eat with Chu Junlan and Chu Zhan.

The old lady smiled toothlessly: "It's so good! In the end, Sister Lan'er is skilled in medicine, I see that Sister Xi is much better! ”

Chu Lingxi was a little embarrassed, she felt a little sorry for herself a few days ago, she didn't want to get better at all, she cried secretly under the quilt, and felt very pitiful.

Now seeing that her family is so concerned about her, Chu Lingxi herself feels embarrassed, and only lowers her head to eat seriously, as if she wants to count all the rice grains in the bowl.

The eldest aunt, Xu's family, the third aunt, the lobby sister-in-law, and the second cousin-in-law all made chopsticks to distribute vegetables to the whole family.

The old lady took a few symbolic bites, and then said with a smile: "Okay, today's rules have been established, I am in charge, and you all sit down to eat together." Now that Sister Lan is back, our family is here, so we will be more comfortable. ”

Several daughters-in-law smiled and saluted the old lady.

Chu Hua chewed a sauce peanut and deliberately became jealous, "Look at my mother's eccentricity." ”

"That's it," Chu Shan immediately picked up, "My mother is so partial, who can I find to reason with my son if he is bullied in the future." ”

"Can't even stop your mouth when you eat?" The old lady snorted, "My daughters-in-law and grandsons and daughters-in-law are all good, but the sons of your Chu family are not worried, so you don't bother to say that you are just fine." ”

Chu Hua smiled: "With the third brother, we just have no status." ”

"Yes, no status!"

Chu Yang, Chu Yuan, and Chu Zhan all covered their mouths and snickered. Even Chu Feng, who had always been lifeless, couldn't help laughing.

After the family had eaten, the old lady smiled and said: "Okay, Sister Lan will follow your father and mother to go back to sit for a while, and then I will go back to the palace before dark. ”
