Chapter Twenty-Eight: Birth
The third day of the second lunar month arrived soon, and Chu Junxi received special treatment when he got up early in the morning. The mother got up early in the morning and ordered a bowl of longevity noodles for Chu Junxi, with a poached egg and some green vegetables on it.
Although after the conditions of the Chu family improved, eating eggs was no longer a fuss, but it was still rare to eat it so early in the morning. Originally, Chu Junxi wanted to give the eggs to his younger brothers and sisters, but was rejected by the two children with righteous words.
"Sister, today is your birthday, my mother specially made it for you, we don't eat it!"
"Hmmm! Sister usually works too hard, you don't have to do anything today, just let me and Niuniu come if you have anything! ”
Chu Junxi was very moved, and he didn't shirk, he finished a bowl of noodles in one go, and even drank the noodle soup cleanly. "The noodles cooked by my mother are really delicious! I really want to celebrate my birthday every day! ”
"You girl is so greedy! As long as you like it, your mother can give you a different trick every day, but this egg is not available every day! Mother Chu also smiled, as if no matter what she cooked, her daughter would always be like this.
Chu Junxi is really happy, she only recently learned that today is her birthday. This crossing is really amazing, the original owner not only has the same name as himself, but even his birthday is the same day as himself.
When I thought of my previous time in modern times, when I was a child in an orphanage, I naturally didn't have any concept of birthdays, and later after I grew up and worked, I just bought a small cake for my birthday every year, and I ate it alone, so it was regarded as a birthday.
Like now, although it is simple and simple, it is unprecedented warmth for Chu Junxi.
"In a while, your Aunt Qi will bring Ah Ran over, you have a good meal after eating, didn't the previous Mrs. Chen give you new clothes? Just wear those two, as well as those little things that your brother Aran gave you, you pick them up and wear them, they must look good! "There were no conditions before, but now Mother Chu naturally hopes that her daughter can have a happy birthday. Especially if you can take the opportunity of today to let the two children promote their relationship, it would be great.
It's just that the Qi family hasn't come yet, and there are uninvited guests first. Father Chu happily greeted him out, but his face darkened all of a sudden.
Chu Junxi was changing clothes and picking out jewelry in the house, and when he heard some movement outside, he wanted to go out and take a look, but before he could get out of the door, Chu Rong and Niuniu rushed in. "Sister, my father and mother said that they need to prepare something, so don't go out and disturb them!"
But it was clear that there was a quarrel outside...... Chu Junxi suddenly thought of something, and immediately understood, and the warmth in his chest was even worse. "Okay, I got it. Then will you accompany Sister Ah here? ”
Adults quarrel, or don't let the children hear it. And just with these two little guys' love for themselves, I'm afraid they will join the battle together, right?
"Big brother, you better go back, today is Xi'er's birthday, and the family has invited guests, you are not suitable." Father Chu still tried his best not to be angry, after all, it was his daughter's birthday, and it was not good to be angry.
"What are you talking about? How is Xi'er also our niece, why can't we be there for her birthday? Besides, we didn't come empty-handed! "The man in front of Chu's father is Chu Junxi's uncle, and his so-called "didn't come empty-handed" means that their family of four took a small basket of vegetables and took them to the market to sell, maybe they could also have five cents!
Of course, they don't feel shabby, but they also feel that they are lifted, and they should be happy that they can come to give face to this little monster.
"Big brother, I said it, no matter whether we come back or don't get along, you will always be my big brother. But Xi'er is different, from the moment you think she is a monster like those people outside, she has no uncle, no cousins, and no aunts! ”
It's not just his eldest brother who comes, even if his sister comes, he's the same. At the beginning, I felt unlucky, I was afraid of being unlucky, but now that I see that their family is good, I want to take advantage of it, how can there be such a good thing?
The mother and son of the Qi family were ready early in the morning, and they went to the Chu family with gifts. Before the result arrived, he saw Father Chu standing in the courtyard arguing with someone from a distance. Thinking of the previous Chinese New Year, Qi Ruowei quickly thought of what was going on.
"Ah Ran, let's go over and have a look!"
When I arrived in the courtyard of the Chu family, I found that it was indeed the uncle of the Chu family. Although it is not good to get involved in other people's housework, Qi Ruowei has long regarded Chu Junxi as her own daughter-in-law, and she must not stand idly by for her own family to have such unreliable relatives.
"Brother Chu, Sister Chu, we're here! Isn't it Xi'er's birthday? Why are there any outsiders in the house? "Women are born with the potential to be shrews and scold the streets, it depends on whether they are willing to break out.
"Keep your mouth clean! What outsiders? We're serious relatives! Before Chu Da could react, the aunt next to him was in a hurry.
"Isn't it? I've never heard of any relatives in the Chu family, haven't they all been loners in the past few years? If you had relatives, you wouldn't have had such a hard time in the previous years...... I thought that the Chu family, like our mother, was like this because they were helpless! ”
Qi Ruowei deliberately looked surprised, but with a smile on her face, she clearly told them that I was sarcastic about you!
"What does our family have to do with you? Don't think I don't know, you shameless woman, your son's father doesn't know who it is, and you can't live your life anymore, so let your dumb son seduce us Xi'er! Otherwise, what good life can you have now? ”
Many people know that Qi Ruowei came here when she was pregnant, and now when she quarrels, she will naturally be brought out to talk about it. In fact, she didn't care about others talking about this for a long time, but if the two children were implicated, she couldn't bear it!
"Competent...... You repeat? ”
"Shut up!" In his own family's affairs, the Chu family is unwilling to involve others, and Father Chu naturally knows that the Qi family is kind enough to help, but he can't let his future in-laws be said to be like this.
"This is my home, and you are not welcome! If you want to make trouble, please change the day, if you don't leave, don't blame me for being rude! ”
Father Chu has already rushed people like this, even if the uncle's family doesn't know each other anymore, they don't have the face to rely on all the time, and after such a fuss just now, someone has already come out to see the excitement, and they can't afford to lose this person.
"Excuse me, let you see the joke." Chu Mu lowered her head, and her mood was a little low.
Qi Ruowei took Chu's mother's hand and comforted. "What nonsense? Why are we so polite to each other? Today is Xi'er's birthday, be happy, don't let the children see you like this! By the way, what about Xi'er? ”
"I'll take a look inside!" Mother Chu eased her emotions, finally recovered again, and hurriedly went into the house to call Chu Junxi and the two little ones out.
"Aunt Qi! Brother Aran! Chu Junxi smiled happily when he came out, as if he really didn't hear the movement outside. But just now, when the quarrel was like this, everyone next door heard it, how could it not be heard in the house?
"Our Xi'er is very beautiful today! Are these earrings the one that our family Ah Ran gave you? When Ah Ran bought it back, I let me see it, and I thought that this color was the most suitable for our Xi'er! Qi Ruowei's words made the faces of both people red.
Chu Junxi really thinks that Aunt Qi is no longer the Aunt Qi she was when she first met, Aunt Qi was always gentle and elegant in the past, why is she getting more and more skinny now? "Aunt Qi! Did you bring me a gift? ”
"Yes, yes!" Qi Ruowei took out a purse from her arms and handed it to Chu Junxi. "This purse is embroidered by my aunt herself, and this craftsmanship is definitely not as good as your mother's, but don't dislike it!"
"No, Aunt Qi's craftsmanship is as good as my mother's, I like it very much!" Chu Junxi really likes it, two days ago she also said that her purse was broken and she wanted her mother to help her make one, but her mother hadn't started work yet, but Aunt Qi helped her do it.
The purse is pink, and a magpie is embroidered on it, which is very delicate. It's just that Qi Ruowei didn't say that this purse was embroidered by herself, and the other was naturally given to her stupid son, but the son's purse was cyan.
Embroidering this pair of purses is also thoughtful in it, the Cowherd and Weaver Girl have to meet every year by the Qixi Magpie Bridge, and they embroider this pair of magpies, naturally hoping that the two children can always be together. Qi Ran knows this, as for Chu Junxi, let her find out for herself!
"Brother Aran, what are you giving me?" In fact, Chu Junxi had already noticed the big guy Qi Ran was holding in his hand, it was still wrapped in cloth outside, it seemed to be a box or something, looking at the wood exposed at the bottom was a little rough, he wouldn't have made a dresser box for himself with his own hands, right?
"Xi'er, don't you know, in order to prepare this gift for you, Ah Ran has been tossing for a long time, and when I went home two days ago, I made myself look like a clay figure, and I looked a little worried. If you don't like this gift, I'm afraid that Ah Ran will faint on the spot! Qi Ruowei assisted her son again, but what she said was indeed true, and there was no exaggeration at all!
"No, it won't! I like everything Brother Aran sends! Chu Junxi swore that as long as it was a gift prepared with heart, even if it was not within the range of things he liked, he would definitely be very happy.
"Okay, don't cover it, show everyone the gift you prepared!" Qi Ruowei patted her son's shoulder and signaled that he could show it.
Qi Ran put things on the ground and made some noises, and when he heard it, he felt like a big guy. When he uncovered the cloth, Chu Junxi was shocked, it turned out that he was very wrong! She really liked this gift!
