Chapter 49: A Patchwork Portrait
The elders are here, Xia Yu is a little restrained and does not dare to be presumptuous, so he has to laugh and drink tea.
The two elders also felt that they might have disturbed the communication between the two young people here, Wang Zhao smiled and said: "I'm not very familiar with this park, Lao Zhang, let's go for a walk together, and by the way, talk about the affairs of our former army?" ”
Zhang Gui smiled and nodded: "Okay, okay." He said to Zhang Shan: "Have a good chat with Teacher Xia." ”
When the two of them left their backs and disappeared into the depths of the bamboo forest, Xia Yu was still silent, and Zhang Shan had no choice but to say, "Teacher Xia, do you want to take a walk?" ”
Xia Yu looked at his phone and said, "I'm sorry, I have something at home, I'll go first." ”
Zhang Shan had no choice but to nod and asked kindly, "Do you need me to send you?" ”
Xia Yu shook his head: "No, I'll take the subway." ”
Then he left with a smile, leaving Zhang Shan with an angry face.
When Zhang Shan returned to his home, he saw that his sister and mother were all waiting for the so-called good news at home.
Zhang Yan looked at his father Zhang Gui's disappointed expression, and asked suicidly: "What's the result today?" ”
Zhang Gui, who was straight to the point, said in a loud voice: "Originally, the niece of my comrade-in-arms was very good, she was still a math teacher of Shishi, and she also opened a Taobao shop to engage in a side business and bought two houses by herself, but as soon as my comrade-in-arms and I left, they ended their talk, I asked your brother, he just didn't open his mouth, and I didn't know the result." ”
Zhang Yan had no choice but to ask his younger brother: "It seems that you and this Teacher Xia have a fate, the second blind date, what's going on?" Do you think she's not pretty enough or is she pedantic? ”
When Zhang Shan didn't know how to answer, Li Man hurriedly grabbed the words: "That female teacher is so capable, yes, Xiaoshan, you want to marry such a capable, virtuous, well-educated and housekeeper, you don't just look at other people's appearances." ”
Seeing that his family had misunderstood him, Zhang Shan had no choice but to sigh and say: "Actually, that female teacher is not bad-looking, and Fang Fang Tian is indeed good, but what does she say?" She didn't seem to want to get married, so we didn't get along. ”
Zhang Yan and Li Man looked at each other, both thinking that this was Zhang Shan's excuse for resigning, Zhang Yan looked at the suspicious eyes of the two, Zhang Shan was depressed, sure enough, the excuse was too much, and he suddenly told the truth, no one believed it yet.
When Zhang Shan was annoyed, Li Man began to launch an offensive: "Son, your cousin's baby can make soy sauce, you are now about to be thirty years old, and you have had enough fun outside, so take care of it and find a down-to-earth person to marry."
I'm really worried about you like this. ”
Zhang Shan looked at his mother's eager eyes, and had no choice but to sigh and say, "Tonight, I have a dinner outside, so I don't have to cook my meal." ”
Then he fled.
After Xia Yu went home, he was inevitably questioned by Wang Xiuzhen by phone, and Xia Yu had no choice but to say: "Others can't look down on your daughter's appearance, so you should die." ”
Wang Xiuzhen said angrily: "That's a blind person, don't do it, my daughter doesn't look bad, and she is so good, I can't look down on you as his loss." ”
Xia Yu nodded heartily: "Mmmm, Mom, you're right, you are really my own mother, I love you." ”
Xia Jie got married with an extra gift money, and this year's income is good, Xia Changde once again mentioned that he wanted to go back to his hometown to repair the house, saying that since his second brother's family built a house in the homestead of his hometown, the family has been transferred, which shows that the feng shui of the hometown homestead is good. Now many people in the village want to buy the dilapidated house of Xia Yu's family at a high price to repair the house, so that future generations can be admitted to university. The legend is so godlike that Xia Yu's brain is worshipped.
It just so happened that the eldest brother was going to hold a wedding in the new house for the Chinese New Year this year, and the family was going back to their hometown.
What's more, after Xia Yu and Xia Jie's grandmother Wu Chunhua saw that her eldest son's family was settling down and thriving in a big city, she didn't take care of herself, except for giving some small money during the New Year's holidays, she was not filial to her elders at all. Although Xia Yu and Xia Jie have given more red envelopes than the sum of the other grandchildren, Wu Chunhua is still not satisfied, because the eldest son's family did not take her to the city to enjoy the blessings.
was even more dissatisfied with Xia Yu's family, and even caught a chicken and went to a small temple on the mountainside, looking for Si Niangzi's practice, interrupting and destroying the luck of Xia Yu's family, and then severely punishing Xia Yu's family for being unconscionable and unfilial to the elderly. Although Si Niangzi takes money to do things, Wang Xiuzhen goes back to her hometown every year to ask her children for marriage and gives more money, and Si Niangzi sympathizes with Xia Yu's family.
said directly to Wu Chunhua: "If you want me to cast a spell to let bad luck befall your eldest son's family, this is absolutely unacceptable." The Bodhisattva Master will not allow it, and you and I will also lose our lives. ”
Wu Chunhua was scared and depressed and returned home with a chicken. Wang Xiuzhen learned about this from her friends, and immediately greeted Wu Chunhua's more than ten generations of ancestors after knowing it, and then made up her mind to go back to her hometown to repair the house, so that she could return to her roots in the future, and she could keep the luck of this feng shui treasure for Xia Yu and Xia Jie. Although Xia Yu does not believe in evil, he also agrees that he can go back to his hometown to repair the house, and he can go home for vacation in the future and enjoy the good mountains, good water and good air.
Xia Yu and Xia Jie's two sisters and brothers also felt that it was good to build a two-story brick house in their hometown, Xia Yu took 300,000 yuan, Xia Jie in addition to 150,000 yuan, plus Xia Changde and Wang Xiuzhen's savings, after attending the wedding of the eldest brother during the Spring Festival, Xia's parents stayed in their hometown to repair the house. The newlywed Xia Jie and his wife lived a life of mixing oil in honey, and Xia Jie had already tried every means to transfer Yun Yun's work before getting married, and now the husband and wife are working in a unit to assist Xia Yu in his side business, which is perfect.
Since Wang Xiuzhen and Xia Changde returned to their hometown to repair the house, Xia Yu finally didn't have to face his mother's urging to marry, and really lived a happy and bubbling life.
I don't go to work in the morning, but I lie in bed and play with my mobile phone, and I don't get up until about eleven o'clock, and I eat breakfast and dinner together.
Every time Xia Yu went to sign up for a tour group, and his good friend Jiajia traveled to many places in the north and south of the country within half a year. Xia Yu achieved complete freedom spiritually. It's just that once on the way to travel, Jiajia cautiously said to Xia Yu: "Liu Haoran will get married next month, and his wife is the daughter of the director of the Planning Bureau, and his mother is very satisfied." I was invited to the wedding and sent an electronic copy of the invitation. ”
Xia Yu tried his best to keep a steady tone and said: "It's good for the golden boy and jade female officials and businessmen to collude and make a fortune together." ”
Jiajia looked at Xia Yu's bitter face and didn't know how to comfort her. At night, Xia Yu lay on the big bed in the hotel and cried silently, this is the result that Liu Haoran's mother wants, she can't look down on Xia Yu, who was born in poverty from the grassroots, and she makes it difficult to clear the way for her son to climb high branches.
After half a year of being so free, Xia Yu has become accustomed to being alone and enjoying loneliness. But Xia Yu suddenly found that he dreamed of Xiaoyuan more and more times in his dreams. The main reason is that Xia Yu knows that his brother-in-law Yunyun has been pregnant for more than three months, and Xia Jie and his wife are very looking forward to welcoming the arrival of a new life.
Xia Yu remembered that Yun Yun in her previous life had miscarried the child in her womb who was only more than a month old in order to break up with Xia Jie completely, which hurt Xia Jie's heart, and the two completely separated from each other.
In this life, Xia Jie has a solid material foundation, and the two not only got married early, but are about to welcome their first child.
After hearing that she was about to become an aunt, Xia Yu was also happy, and there was more regret in her heart. In his previous life, Xia Yu did not regret his divorce, and after being reborn, Xia Yu was also busy getting rid of poverty and becoming rich, except for occasionally dreaming of Xiaoyuan in his dreams, Xia Yu refused to think of Xiaoyuan.
But as he grew older, with the rise of motherhood in his heart, Xia Yu gave birth to Xiaoyuan as long as he remembered that he was twenty-eight years old in his previous life. Xia Yu, who is destined not to have an intersection with Zhang Shan in this life, misses Xiaoyuan in his memory more and more.
When I came to the square on the weekend, I saw a college student sketching, and when Xia Yu was passing by with a lot of heart, he suddenly had an idea, came to the college student, and asked, "Can you draw a sketch according to my request?" ”
The female college student nodded: "Yes, tell me your requirements." ”
Xia Yu took out the business card in his bag and said to the college student: "Look, can you draw a three- or four-year-old little boy with thick hair, like this man's forehead, eyes and lips, as for the face and nose, just like me." ”
After Xia Yu finished speaking, the college student was a little puzzled, and Xia Yu asked, "Do you need me to say it again?" ”
The college student took the business card and nodded: "No, I already understand." ”
The college student looked at the business card, looked at Xia Yu for a while, and it was done soon after, and when Xia Yu saw it, Xia Yu was so excited that he was about to cry, this is exactly what his own child in his previous life, Xiaoyuan, looked like. In his previous life, he had countless photos of Xiaoyuan, but now he can only rely on his patchwork facial features to make people draw Xiaoyuan's portrait.
Looking at Xia Yu's fascinate expression, the college student asked, "How?" ”
Xia Yu nodded with tears in his eyes: "Like, it's so similar, you painted it so well." How much? ”
The college student said, "It's just fifty dollars." ”
Xia Yu took out a few hundred yuan and said, "This is for you, thank you, I really like this chapter of portraits." ”
After saying that, Xia Yu left, looking at the portrait as he walked, looking at this kind of patchwork portrait, Xia Yu remembered a lot of Xiaoyuan's smile in his previous life, as if he had returned to his previous life.
Just when Xia Yu thought that he took Xiaoyuan to the park to play in his previous life, and Xiaoyuan sat on a chair with a sunhat and took pictures with scissor hands, Xia Yu couldn't help laughing.
At this moment, Xia Yu suddenly felt that the world was spinning, he was pulled down under the big tree, looking at the three-wheeled water truck whistling by, Xia Yu was terrified, holding the sketch paper and holding his chest in fear.
When he turned to thank him, he was surprised to see Zhang Shan, and Xia Yu thanked him politely: "Doctor Zhang, thank you so much just now." ”
Zhang Shan smiled mildly and said, "It's nothing, it's just that you have to be careful when walking in the future." ”
Xia Yu nodded: "Well, I'll pay attention." What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you. ”
Zhang Shan replied: "I came here to do business, and I didn't expect to meet you." ”
Xia Yu saw the black leather backpack in Zhang Shan's hand, Xia Yu remembered Zhang Shan's habit, always carrying a black leather backpack full of all his documents, it seems that Zhang Shan is buying property again. Xia Yu said goodbye: "Thank you just now, I won't bother you." ”
Zhang Shan nodded: "Goodbye." ”
Then the two walked in their respective directions.
