Chapter 9: The Family of Origin

Shishi also understood Xia Yu's words, most people dare to take risks and dare to fight because of their youth, but the price of this adventure and hard work is not something that anyone can afford. Maybe that's the price of life. From then on, Shishi never mentioned the suggestion of going to the river for winter swimming. Xia Yu also avoided being dragged by his niece and forced to take risks.

Shishi and Xia Yu came to the children's pool, saw Zhang Shan waiting in front of the slide, and soon heard Xiaoyuan's soft and glutinous voice: "Old man, I'm here." ”

Then Xiao Yuan, who was very cute in a little swimming trunks, quickly slid down and landed firmly in Xiao Yuan's arms. Zhang Shan took Xiaoyuan in the pool for a while, and then put Xiaoyuan on the edge of the pool, and Xiaoyuan continued to run to the top of the slide. Looking at the father and son who were tired of playing, Xia Yu finally understood why Xiaoyuan liked his father's old man Zhang Shan so much.

Xia Yu said to Zhang Shan: "You go play, I'll play with Xiaoyuan." ”

When Xiao Yuan rushed down and was held in Xia Yu's arms, he saw that Zhang Shan was not within the scope of the children's pool, and asked aggrievedly, "What about Zhang Shan?" ”

Shishi touched Xiaoyuan's pouting mouth and said with a smile: "My sister and mother will play with you, and my uncle will come over in a while." ”

Xiao Yuancai retreated and gave Xia Yu the opportunity to play with him.

It was after nine o'clock that a few people washed up and changed their clothes and left the pool to go home.

On the morning of the third day, Xia Yu got up early to pee and dress Xiaoyuan, and then steamed egg custard and steamed buns. The custard was given to Shi Shiwen in the steamer, and Xia Yu and Xiaoyuan finished breakfast first. Seeing that Xiaoyuan couldn't eat anymore, Xia Yu came out with a vacuum bowl and spoon, and said to Xiaoyuan: "Xiaoyuan, Dad's holiday is coming soon, tomorrow I will start to go out early and return late again, let Dad have a good rest today, you bring the steamed egg custard and spoon to Dad, how about it?" ”

Xiaoyuan nodded obediently: "Okay, Mom." Then he cautiously came to the bedroom with the bowl, put it on the bedside table, and said, "Daddy, it's time to eat." ”

Zhang Shan enjoyed his son's filial piety, was very proud, and said happily: "Okay, Xiaoyuan is really good." ”

When Zhang Shan ate the custard, Xiaoyuan came out and said to Xia Yu, "Mom, where is Dad's milk?" ”

Xia Yu remembered that he had just given Xiaoyuan milk. Xia Yu took out the warm milk and straw to Xiaoyuan, to Xia Yu's surprise, Xiaoyuan actually tore the plastic on the outside of the straw directly, carefully inserted the straw, and then came to the bedroom and said to Zhang Shan: "Dad, you still want to drink milk." ”

Zhang Shanxin, who had just eaten the egg custard, touched Xiaoyuan's head happily, and then quickly finished drinking the milk and continued to lie on the bed playing with his mobile phone, and then Xiaoyuan, who was just four years old, actually came out diligently with an empty bowl and a milk carton.

Xia Yu was surprised, it turned out that Xiaoyuan would also take care of people. Xia Yu is relieved that my family Xiaoyuan has finally grown up. Xia Yu was jealous, it turned out that Xiaoyuan really loved his father. Xia Yu was sad, he just had no sense of existence in Xiaoyuan's heart.

Xia Yu lamented his failure and packed up some snacks and fruits. When Zhang Shan, the lazy worm, was washed, the little girl finally got up under Zhang Yan's phone bombardment.

After washing and eating the egg custard prepared by Xia Yu, as well as the black rice porridge cooked separately for Shishi, Shishi squinted her eyes and bubbled happily: "The black rice porridge made by my aunt is delicious, sweet and delicious." ”

Xia Yu smiled and said, "It's good if you like it." ”

When Shishi finally ate, the family began their third day of vacation, and the place where they went today was a reservoir, which was originally a native reservoir. With the development of rural tourism in recent years, the reservoir has changed its name to a foreign atmosphere, the crown reservoir, to develop tourism and become a scenic spot of civilization near and far. Especially in the summer, the cool breeze on the lake attracts more people to escape the heat.

The two cars came to the booked fishing village, Zhang Shan, Zhang Gui and his brother-in-law Luo Xian each carried a fishing rod, and Xiaoyuan Shishi Xia Yu carried a net bag and began to come to the fishing platform outside the fishing village. Li Man and Zhang Yan, mother and daughter, probably wanted to talk to each other, so they went for a walk by the lake.

The three men came to the lake to fish, and Xia Yu took the two children to the pond in the fishing village to net fish. Listening to the innocent laughter of the sisters and brothers, everyone spent the morning very happily. After coming to the fishing village at noon, the three of them had a good harvest, the boss directly slaughtered and cooked, and the hungry few people looked at the fried fish scales and fried fish strips, dried fish, as well as sauerkraut tofu fish, grilled fish, all kinds of barbecue, shabu-shabu, etc., all of them secreted saliva and had a great appetite.

It's a nice feeling to fish and eat by yourself. Everyone touched their stomachs and rested in the private room for half a small thing, and in the afternoon the family began to swim in the lake, and at this time there were disagreements, Xia Yu and his wife and Shishi wanted to take a speedboat, and Zhang Yan and his wife and in-laws wanted to take a cruise. In the end, it was only divided into two ways, and the thrill-seeking Xia Yu couple enjoyed the excitement of the speedboat with Shishi and Xiaoyuan. The other foursome sat on a slow cruise ship and slowly followed behind with the lake breeze, the distance getting bigger and bigger, enjoying the ups and downs of the speedboat.

The speedboat made a lap on the lake, and the foursome came to the island in the middle of the lake. The aerial view of this island in the middle of the lake is exactly the shape of a king's crown. Therefore, the reservoir was renamed Crown Lake, and there are many small viewing rooms on the lake, one by one villas, which are built in a very luxurious and comfortable resort style. When he was playing on the island in the middle of the lake, Xia Yu suddenly received a call from his younger brother Xia Jie.

Xia Yu asked: "Coach Xia, a busy man, why don't you make money in the daytime, and still have time to call me?" ”

Xia Jie smiled and said, "It's raining here today, so we don't have to teach those little kids, just play in the dormitory." ”

Xia Yu asked with a smile: "What's the matter, I'm going to make a lot of money this summer." ”

Xia Jie sighed: "It's all hard-earned money, what are you doing?" ”

Xia Yu: "Your brother-in-law's sister's family is back to play, and we are now playing in Crown Lake." ”

Xia Jie: "I'm so envious, I want to go out too." ”

Xia Yu quipped: "I still envy you for making money." ”

Xia Jie suddenly asked, "Have you been in touch with them recently?" ”

Xia Yu shook his head: "You know, I have been in a cold war with them recently, some time ago my father was born, I sent a big red envelope, but I didn't answer my mother's phone, I really don't want to talk to them now." ”

Xia Jie empathized: "I don't want to talk to them either, a few days ago, my father sent some money back to my grandmother, and the two had a big fight, and my mother and my father vomited for several days." Both of them called me and asked me to judge. Mom was still crying, I was in class to teach the little kids, I really didn't have time to listen to their nonsense, I hung up the phone after a few words. Hey, I'm too lazy to talk to them, I'm so stubborn, upset, and I don't want to pay attention to them. ”

Hearing his younger brother Xia Jie say this, Xia Yu's originally happy mood instantly fell to the bottom. Every time he hears the news about his mother's family, especially the news involving his mother and wonderful grandmother, Xia Yu feels that even if he has a happy little life, he has been beaten back to his original form by his original family. The original family is an eternal pain, a dog skin plaster that can never be shaken off, and it follows the disease into the bone marrow.

Xia Yu stayed away from Zhang Shanshishi, and whispered to Xia Jie: "I don't even bother to listen, every time I am in a good mood, I am hit by these things that are rotten with sesame seeds." I don't even bother to educate them and reason with them.

This mother is too, stubborn, it is a natural thing for my father to give money to his biological mother, and my mother is also quite unreasonable, she really loves to hold grudges and be careful. Dad is really, he doesn't do things carefully at all, and he was discovered by his mother casually. Annoying, really annoying.

Our family is still getting by now, why are we still holding on to the past. Although I don't want to have too much contact with our wonderful grandmother, although she hates our family to the core, although she wishes that our family is not as good as pigs and dogs, but since we are all doing well now, they are envious and jealous. We also have to have our posture and demeanor, some time ago I heard that she was sick, and I also transferred some money to my father and asked her to send it to grandma.

At that time, my mother was also beside me, and when I heard my words with my father, I said directly to my father at that time, 'I am now an adult and have already started a family, and you have all had right and wrong in the past, and after decades of trouble, my brother and I have never had a peaceful and harmonious home.

Although we have been poisoned by your bad mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, it has caused an extremely serious psychological shadow to our sisters and brothers. But now that I have our judgment on what I do, you should not be rude and dry. ’”

Xia Jie understood the ins and outs of the matter, and continued: "I see, since you have been working, my mother has been acting on your face, and I will definitely not dare to offend you, the gold master." I had to take my father under the knife, and sprinkle the resentment that had been accumulated and suppressed in my heart on my father's body. Mom is really bullying the soft and afraid of the hard. ”

Xia Yu saw that Zhang Shan had already taken Shishi and pulled Xiaoyuan towards the stone ladder and crawled towards the hill, and his in-laws, sisters, and brother-in-law were about to go to the island, Xia Yu hurriedly got into a spare room and continued to chat with Xia Jie in a whisper: "Well, you may not know, I haven't talked to my mother for half a year, my mother has offended me, and I am still angry." Originally, I was going to save money to buy pension insurance for her, and the three of us will each contribute some, so that they can live a good life with pension insurance in the future.

But my mother really chilled me, and I was ready to save money to buy myself a car. ”

Xia Jie didn't agree: "Your place of work is not far from home, it's very convenient to ride an electric car, don't you have a car at home?" It's not particularly cold in our place in winter, why do you still want to buy a car? ”

Xia Yu said angrily: "My husband's car is not my car, I have already understood now, my mother is right, people are not killed for themselves, it is better to rely on oneself than to rely on oneself." I have to learn to be selfish now, think more about myself, and buy a car for my own enjoyment. It's too uncomfortable to rain on an electric car, why should I be a thrifty wife and mother, and my mother won't do it. ”
