Chapter 3 The so-called blessing
Inexplicably thought about a lot of things, and didn't take a break for a while, Xiaoyuan came over again, pestered Xia Yu to buy popcorn, accompanied the difficult Xiaoyuan to buy a medium-sized excavator, and returned a small bucket of popcorn, when he returned to the gym, he saw that Zhang Shan had already rested on the balcony, Xia Yu handed over a bottle of mineral water, and mocked: "You just fish for three days and dry the net for two days, and you have a fitness card for a year, it's almost half a year, you only came two or three times, it's a waste, I didn't expect it to come out in half an hour, Every time I go to the gym, it takes at least an hour. ”
Zhang Shan took the mineral water handed over by Xia Yu, drank it all in one gulp, and retorted: "You work much easier than me and have a lot of time, and I only have much rest time per week." I don't exercise as often as you do, I've been exercising for half an hour enough, so let's go home with a little rest. ”
It was only nine o'clock when the couple left the gym with their children, and they walked around the park for a while. When he got home, Zhang Shan immediately turned on the air conditioner, turned on the refrigerator, ate watermelon and grapes, and after finishing the fruit, he collapsed on the bed again.
Xia Yu finished cleaning up the peel in the living room and pulled Xiaoyuan to take a shower in the bathroom. It wasn't until eleven o'clock that Xia Yu finished cleaning up and dragging his tired body to sleep.
It took more than ten minutes in bed to coax Xiaoyuan to sleep. Xia Yu sighed that this is a holiday, it is clearly a full-time nanny, and she is really tired as a housewife.
Just when Xia Yu complained, the light in Zhang Shan's room was still on, Xia Yu knew that he was still playing with his mobile phone, usually he was busy with work and had no time to play, so he planned to play enough when he went home.
Xia Yu had already dispelled the idea of persuading him to go to bed early, and he wouldn't listen to it anyway, a straight man who insisted on going his own way and not listening to advice. At this time, Xia Yu suddenly remembered what he said on the Internet: go out to love husband and wife, and go home like a neighbor. Middle-aged couples, especially when their children are young, seem to outsiders to be extremely loving couples, but in fact, they are more familiar neighbors under one roof. This sentence is also more suitable for himself and Zhang Shan, really the two of them are now familiar neighbors who live together under the same roof.
Just when Xia Yu inquired about Xiaoyuan's interest class, Zhang Shan went home for dinner at noon, after Xia Yu quickly finished eating, he was feeding Xiaoyuan, Zhang Shan suddenly received a call, it turned out that Zhang Shan's friend was going to hold a full moon wine for his newborn daughter tomorrow, Zhang Shan remembered his arrangement tomorrow, he was on duty tomorrow, and he might not be able to leave, and then this glorious task was handed over to Xia Yu.
Zhang Shan continued to eat, Xiao Yuan was already full, Xia Yu continued to sit at the table to eat, Zhang Shan spoke: "Last time Xiao Yuan's full moon wine he gave was two thousand, this time you can add a few hundred more." ”
Xia Yu raised his head and asked in disbelief, "Are you sure he sent two thousand last time?" ”
Zhang Shan wasn't quite sure: "It seems to be." ”
Xia Yu put down his chopsticks and quickly found the gift book at home, and saw that Zhang Shan's friend only sent a thousand, Xia Yu complained: "I am embarrassed to talk about you with your memory, but fortunately I took a look, otherwise I would have been wronged." You see, how detailed my records are, and how much I send back, I know in my heart, let you be the housekeeper, it is estimated that it will be a mess a long time ago. ”
Zhang Shan was caught by Xia Yu and had to eat, but he would never admit his mistake, and after eating, he put down his chopsticks and took a nap. Xia Yu cleaned up the table and let Xiaoyuan watch cartoons in the living room by himself, and also went to doze off.
Early the next morning, Xia Yu made a few bowls of steamed egg custard, Zhang Shan quickly finished eating and went to work, Xia Yu got up to wash Xiaoyuan, washed himself after feeding, washed the clothes and dried them, and had already made lunch at about eleven o'clock, fed Xiaoyuan to his full, cleaned up and dressed up, Xia Yu felt that he was a spinning top that kept spinning, but he still had to turn down. At twelve o'clock, the neat mother and son, full of fashion, rode a small electric car and began to participate in the full moon wine.
Coming to the private room, which was already filled with several large tables, Xia Yu sat down, put a small apron around Xiaoyuan, and then began to chat with acquaintances he knew. Brother Qiang asked, "Who is in your family?" Why didn't you come? ”
Xia Yu said with a smile: "He should be working overtime today, he can't come, so I have to bring the child over." ”
Everyone at the table eats their own food, Xia Yu looked around the table, sandwiched a few vegetable cakes and put them in front of Xiao Yuan and began to eat. Xia Yu could only ignore the image, and began to add large pieces of beef konjac and tofu skin to his bowl of rice, and when he hadn't started yet, Xiao Yuan pointed to the peanut milk on the opposite side and asked: "Mom, I want to drink that." ”
Xia Yu irritably touched the untouched vegetable cake in Xiaoyuan's bowl, when Xia Yu was about to stand up, the young man opposite enthusiastically handed over the warm peanut milk, after Xia Yu thanked him, he poured half a cup of peanut milk for Xiaoyuan, and began to eat quickly, Xia Yu just ate a few bites, and saw that Xiaoyuan was really doing something, and actually poured peanut milk on top of the vegetable cake, and the bowl in front of Xiaoyuan was immediately filled with peanut milk and tartary buckwheat tea, and it was about to overflow, and he was about to wet Xiaoyuan's clothes, The kind aunt next to her immediately took a stack of napkins and finally sucked away the beach in front of Xiao Yuan.
Xia Yu shook his head helplessly, continued to eat, and the kind aunt next to him asked, "Why doesn't your child eat?" ”
Xia Yu said with a smile: "He doesn't like to eat outside food, it's too spicy, I've already let him eat lunch at home at eleven o'clock." I just don't worry about putting him at home, but I didn't expect him to eat a bite, so he was a demon on the table, forgive me. ”
Auntie nodded: "You little girl, you look very young, and your heart is quite fine."
Children, how can there be no naughty, he plays with himself like this, doesn't bother you, it's very well-behaved. Just let her play by herself, and you eat more. ”
Xia Yu had no choice but to speed up, and just after half eating, he suddenly heard the sound of the glass breaking. Seeing the others looking curiously, Xia Yu was already embarrassed to bury his head and go to the waiter to clean up. Xia Yu accompanied the waiter to sweep away the glass shards and mop the floor clean. When he sat on his stool with a smiling face, he saw that he was full of tartary buckwheat tea, Xia Yu smiled bitterly, drank it in one gulp, and continued to eat. When he first ate Xingtou, Xiao Yuan, who had not eaten a mouthful, suddenly grabbed Xia Yu's hand and whispered, "Mom, I want to make a nest." ”
With an apologetic smile for the others, Xia Yu pulled Xiaoyuan into the women's bathroom, and then came back. After returning to the table, looking at the newly served dry pot, Xia Yu's appetite increased, and just after eating a few potatoes, Xiaoyuan said loudly: "Mom, I want to pee." ”
Xia Yu clenched his fists, then closed his lips tightly to control his temper and took Xiaoyuan to solve the memory. After returning to the table, Xia Yu planned to make a quick decision, and left immediately after eating a few bites.
Just when Xia Yu was eating, the bored Xiaoyuan asked: "Mom, I want to play Douyin." ”
Xia Yu had no choice but to take the mobile phone to Xiao Yuan, eating a delicious dry pot by himself, Xiao Yuan looked at Douyin, felt that it was not fun at all, and embarrassed him for so long, when Xia Yu was eating and shaking his mind, Xia Yu saw that Xiao Yuan had left the private room, immediately put down the chopsticks, stood up and said to the people at the same table: "Everyone eat slowly, I'll go first." ”
Xia Yu rushed up with his bag, and sure enough, this Xiaoyuan was already impatient to walk out. At the door, Xia Yu saw Brother Qiang and his parents, and his wife, who had just come out of confinement, was sitting in the private room next to him to feed the children. Xia Yu took the restless Xiaoyuan's hand and walked into Brother Qiang, handed over the prepared red envelope, and blessed with a smile: "Brother Qiang, congratulations on your happy daughter." ”
Brother Qiang refused and put the red package into his half-bulging black crossbody bag, and thanked him: "Thank you, sit for a while, why did you leave so early?" ”
Xia Yu pulled the restless Xiaoyuan and said apologetically: "This Xiaoyuan can't stay on the stool, I'm going to take him home." I had to leave early. ”
When Xia Yu was chatting with Brother Qiang, a pair of parents behind Brother Qiang looked at Xiao Yuan for a long time, then walked up and touched Xiao Yuan's head and asked, "This is Xiao Shan's son?" ”
Brother Qiang introduced with a smile on his face: "Do you see it?" This is Brother Shan's son, more than three years older than my daughter? Called Zhang Yuan. ”
Brother Qiang's mother walked in and looked at Xiaoyuan carefully, and sighed: "Sure enough, it was carved out of a mold with Xiaoshan, damn it, why didn't this Xiaoshan come today?" ”
Xia Yu replied: "He's on duty today, whether he comes or not, next time I'm inviting Brother Qiang and my aunt and uncle to dinner." ”
Brother Qiang's mother walked up directly and held Xia Yu's hand, and said with a sigh: "Xiaoyuan's mother, I still remember when you and Zhang Shan came, I still came to eat and drink, I didn't expect your children to be so old, it's really fast." ”
Then Brother Qiang's mother pulled Xia Yu to chatter, and Xia Yu had to chat with him.
Brother Qiang's mother: "Xiaoyuan's mother, Xiaoyuan's grandfather and mother-in-law, also called over, eat together and get together, everyone is lively." ”
Xia Yu explained: "Xiaoyuan's mother-in-law was sick some time ago, had an operation, and was still recuperating recently, so she couldn't get used to eating spicy outside, so she didn't come over." ”
Brother Qiang and his mother: "So that's the case, I don't know yet, I'll go to visit my sister this afternoon." ”
Xia Yu: "Xiaoyuan's grandparents are old and inconvenient to climb the stairs, we bought an elevator apartment, they live over there, they don't live in our community, thank you Auntie for your kindness, I will tell Xiaoyuan's mother-in-law." ”
Brother Qiang's mother said enviously: "This kid is really good, and I specially bought an elevator apartment for your in-laws, so you don't have to climb the stairs to get tired, this kid is really good."
I was thinking about which girl was lucky enough to marry Xiaoshan, and I said that Xiaoshan is really a sensible and good child.
When your uncle had surgery, Xiaoshan, the child, drove over to see him. I remember it all now. I was thinking, which girl will be so blessed to marry Xiaoshan in the future......"
Brother Qiang's mother continued to chatter, Xia Yu's depression in his heart, what is the bitterness in this marriage, how can others know? This marriage is like drinking water, knowing its own warmth and coldness. Zhang Shan, a straight male husband who lies on the bed and plays with his mobile phone when he goes home, hardly touches housework, doesn't care about his children, and has no emotion at all, is Xia Yu's blessing?
