Chapter 7: The Family
This exclamation came to Anxia's mind again, and the woman stuffed a thick pile into her hand, "This is a month's living expenses, please take care of it." ”
In the evening, the kitchen sounded the sound of 'zizi', Anxia wore the apron of the jingle cat, and the wooden shovel turned the imported steak in the pan and swallowed.
Manjushri stood aside and licked his lips, "Is it ripe?" ”
"Almost." Anxia carefully served the steak on a plate, garnished with broccoli and fried eggs, and put it on the table with both hands.
At dinner time, Siam jumped on the table, and the steak was cut into small cubes, just in the mouth.
It poked out of the meat pad, only to feel two burning streaks of stare at it.
On the dinner table, one cabbage, two cold noodles, and a small plate of pickles, the only meat on the plate.
Three pairs of eyes, you look at me, I look at you, look at each other, and the atmosphere is awkward.
"I'll go get vinegar, do you want Manjushri?" Anxia blushed and hurriedly slipped away in order to cover up.
"Tuk-tuk."
At this moment, there was a knock on the door, An Xia paused slightly, and then turned around and walked towards the door, "Who?" ”
Pulling open the door, her face turned cold, and there were three people standing outside the door, a man and two women, it was her father and her stepmother, leading a half-sister - An Jin.
"Why are you here?" An Xia's face was not very good-looking, she took two steps back, poured water for her family by herself, and the fruit on the table was also moved to the coffee table.
"Hello uncle and aunt." Manjushri greeted with a smile, and didn't care about eating, so he was busy with Zhang Luo.
An Guofeng was wearing a gray T-shirt with creases all over him, with big eyes and a square face, and he looked honest, and waved his hand again and again, "Don't bother, just sit down." ”
Stepmother Zhang Xiafei sat on the sofa indifferently, swept around with her eyes half-closed, and a cold snort came out of her nose.
"Sister, your place is too small, the sofa is so big, and there are cat racks, and people are almost out of place to stand." An Jin disgusted, sat beside Zhang Xiafei, held the mobile phone and poked and poked a little, the film behind the mobile phone had not been torn, and it was brand new and shiny.
"No way, isn't the family small, and there is no place for me to live?" An Xiapi didn't smile, and there was already a lot of resentment in her heart.
Since Zhang Xiafei married into the family with a drag oil bottle, the best in the family has been given to An Jin. As for her, when she came home after graduating from college, her bedroom was occupied by An Jin, what do you say anyway, you have also graduated, it's time to go out and support yourself.
"Yes, it's a little sour to live here." An Jin smiled at her and shook the new mobile phone in her hand, "I just got it, how is it, it's good-looking, right?" ”
An Xia took a deep breath, this mobile phone could cover her monthly salary.
"Beautiful." She picked up the remote control, turned on the TV, and returned to the dinner table, "You probably won't be able to see our dinner, so I won't entertain you." ”
I don't know how many times better life is better than herself, poor life is poor life, she believes that as long as she works hard, everything will be fine.
Holding chopsticks and pulling cold noodles into his mouth, somehow, it was all bitter.
"What's all you eat?" An Jin stretched her neck and glanced at the dining table, looked at the cold noodles with disgust, walked to the refrigerator and opened the door.
"Whoa-la-"
A large number of things fell down, and An Jin's angry conditioned reflex retreated, and his eyes widened for a moment.
New Zealand steaks, imported vegetables, and the prohibitively expensive Chilean cherries......
The family is not rich, and life is not bad, but these things are rarely seen.
"Huh! Sister, yes, it's hidden, who are you afraid of robbing? An Jin kicked on the ingredients, and her words were sour.
"It's not mine, don't touch it!" An Xia hurriedly ran over, pushed An Jin away, and picked up the things scattered all over the place, the wife of the Yu family entrusted 'Wangcai' to her, she must make the best use of everything and give Siam the best care.
"Can't touch it? Mom, come and see, Anxia is developed, hide it from us! An Jin stepped on the steak in resentment, and stepped on An Xia's hand without paying attention.
An Xia hissed in pain, and An Jin didn't care, and ran straight to Zhang Xia.
Zhang Xiafei walked over, looked at it leisurely, and finally smiled from the time she entered the house to the present, her voice was as soft as a mother, "Anxia, you see that you are doing well, and you can't forget your roots, you look at your father, it is not easy to support your family, and you are about to pay pension insurance, and you don't help you." ”
She knew it was going to happen!
An Xia rubbed the back of her reddened hand, and was about to explain, when Zhang Xiafei grabbed An Guofeng's sleeve and pushed it forward.
An Guofeng staggered back a few steps, and was glared at by Zhang Xiafei, his face turned pale, and Ai Ai said, "Xiao Xia, what your mother said is right, it is not easy to raise a daughter to become an adult......"
"Don't talk about it." What Anxia is most unaccustomed to is his father's cowardly strength, Zhang Xiafei pointed to the east and did not dare to go west.
She sniffed at the tip of her nose and picked up the wallet on the table, and Manjushri suddenly tugged at the hem of her clothes and shook her head.
An Xia knew what her best friend meant, but she still took out the money and handed it to An Guofeng, "Dad, this month's salary hasn't been paid yet, this is my living expenses, you can take it to the emergency!" ”
