An Xia followed behind Xiao Jingsheng, greeted all the relatives, and then sat on the chair next to him, listening to everyone with a smile.

She listened silently to everyone chatting, feeling the difference between the Huo family and the Xiao family, the Huo family gave her the feeling of sincerity and relaxation, while the Xiao family was serious, these relatives were not as affectionate as the Huo family, and even listening to them, she actually had a feeling of undercurrent.

The Xiao family is very complicated, this is the judgment that An Xia made after listening to the chat for half an hour.

There was a temptation in everything they said to themselves and their mother, and the only cousin, Xiao Boyu, occasionally looked at him with a heavy look in his eyes, and he was not satisfied with him? An Xia didn't understand where Xiao Boyu's hostility to him came from when they met for the first time.

"Anxia, you used to live in the countryside, is there anything fun?"

The youngest daughter of the second eldest of the Xiao family asked, she is twenty-one this year, only two years older than An Xia, but her mind is deep, of course she is not good at asking this sentence, but she just wants to make fun of An Xia's previous life, of course, she will not be in front of the third uncle and third aunt, after all, the whole family wants to let their family score three points.

Although the third uncle is valued by his grandparents, everyone understands in their hearts that Xiao Ran was useless as a sick man in the past, and now the third uncle is a girl again, and it is not the Xiao family to marry sooner or later, in the end, the third uncle can only pay attention to and support the lobby brother, and it is not in vain to make wedding dresses for others, and he still has to make more friends with the lobby brother in the future, after all, the rest of the Xiao family is alive under the halo of grandpa and the third uncle, and I am afraid that this person will have to be changed in the future.

Thinking of this, the girl took the strawberries and put them in front of Xiao Boyu, "Big brother, eat strawberries." ”

"The countryside is actually the same, nothing very special, the countryside played on TV is quite real, every morning is to work, until the evening, busy for a year, all counting on the grain in the field, if the harvest is good, the days are hopeful, this year is not in vain, the family can also eat more dry rice and full food, if the harvest is not good, the whole village is not having a good time, you have to tighten your belt, find a way to spend the whole year next year, and survive until the next rice is ripe."

An Xia said calmly, with a faint smile on her face, "It's bitter and it's very bitter, but because everyone has hope in their hearts, life is delicious, that is, eating coarse grains and cooking wild vegetable porridge, now that I think about it, it also has a different flavor, and many of those wild vegetables are good for the body." ”

After An Xia finished speaking, everyone was quiet, such a life was too far away from them, they couldn't eat enough food, eat wild vegetables, and they couldn't imagine it.

Huo Jingshu's eyes were red, and she lowered her head, she knew that her daughter had suffered a lot, but she didn't dare to ask or think, because those would make her uncomfortable and painful, and now when she heard her daughter say with a smile on her face that she was hungry and ate wild vegetables, her heart hurt like a knife.

Everyone laughed and didn't make a sound, and then they started a topic and continued to chat, and several cousins put the delicious food in front of An Xia, "An Xia, you eat more, I don't know you used to be so miserable." ”

An Xia thanked her, looking at the fruits and snacks in front of her, her eyes slowly cooled, how could she not see that these cousins seemed to care about her, but in fact there was a flash of disdain in her eyes.

The Xiao family, I really don't like it!

The afternoon was spent talking and chatting and watching TV, Anxia didn't want to chat with these people, so she watched TV by herself, and it was quiet, and the meal was officially opened at six o'clock, and the aunt who worked in the house set the meal, and Mrs. Xiao didn't know where to come out and said something to eat.

Old man Xiao walked out of the study, and Xiao Boyu and Xiao Jingsheng came out with him, An Xia found that Xiao Jingsheng's face was not very good, and he didn't know what was wrong.

"Sit down, Anxia come over and sit next to me."

An Xia saw a flash of jealousy in the eyes of several cousins and cousins, and wondered a little, what was there to be jealous of, speaking of which, she just wanted to sit next to her parents, and she didn't want to sit with this serious grandfather.

But she still sat obediently next to the right hand of the old man Xiao, the old man's left hand is Mrs. Xiao, the left hand of the old lady Xiao is Xiao Boyu, a big table, a large family is sitting more crowded, An Xia roughly counted, almost thirty people, this table is big, like a hotel, there is a turntable on it, eating here, she always has a feeling of being in a restaurant, there is an aunt to serve, the turntable is still automatically rotating, there is everything but impersonal.

There are also a lot of Huo family, but there are two tables, because there are many people, the elders sit together, and the children sit together, which is very lively.

"Anxia, this is a gift for you, you have been suffering outside for so many years, your grandmother and I are very happy to have such a smart granddaughter as you, open it and take a look."

Old Man Huo took out a leather box and gave it to An Xia, and asked An Xia to open it, An Xia immediately opened the box, inside was a beautiful necklace earrings, a combination of rubies and diamonds, the rubies are bright, the diamonds are dazzling, the main stone in the necklace looks the same size as a thumb, An Xia clearly saw the jealousy in the eyes of the cousins.

"Grandpa, this gift is too expensive, I can't ask for it, and besides, I don't feel that I am suffering, I have always felt that my life is full and happy."

"Take, everyone has a gift, you have grown to eighteen years old, this gift is yours."

An Xia glanced at her father, then thanked her and handed the gift to Huo Jingshu.

Old man Xiao was a little satisfied, at least this granddaughter didn't want Lin Yuejiao at the beginning, her face was full of greed, fortunately he didn't like Lin Yuejiao very much at the beginning, and didn't give her a meeting gift, but when he saw An Xia today, he had three points of appreciation for this child, and he was generous and had a good temperament, so he deliberately asked his wife to take out a set of very expensive ruby jewelry, the first is a show of goodwill, indicating that the Xiao family attaches great importance to her, and the second is also a temptation.

Look at this child talking about not being greedy for money, greedy for money is very easy to control, if you are not greedy for money, you should also understand that you value her very much when you see this expensive gift.

"Let's eat."

An Xia lowered her head and ate the vegetables silently, and suddenly there was an extra piece of lamb chops in the bowl, and when she looked up, she saw that it was Old Man Xiao who gave it to her, and then she received a wave of jealous eyes, she didn't expect why her cousins and cousins cared so much about Old Man Xiao.

At the dinner table, only the sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding was heard, almost no one spoke, some were also asked by Old Man Xiao, and others answered, not like the Huo family, talking about homely things at the dinner table, joking, lively and relaxed.

In such a dining environment, Anxia quickly ate enough, and when she remembered it, she was held by Huo Jingshu below and shook her head slightly.

So she sat down at the dinner table until everyone had eaten.
