Chapter 128: The Li Family's Scripture
"Crude Chinese."
Sister Rachel didn't hide her contempt for me, a foreign rough person, I didn't mind if I had no face or skin, and asked with a smile: "Aunt Li, what are you doing here?" ”
Aunt Li sighed and said: "Alas, my daughter is filial to me and wants me to go to the United States with her to enjoy Qingfu, I don't want to trouble the children, and I really can't leave, it's not that the girl is not happy, Xiao Zhao, busy with your go, I'm sorry, I'm noisy." ”
I shook my head and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I've already gotten up at this point, then it's a good thing, I heard that the United States is quite developed, the air is sweet, and the body armor is the latest, Auntie, it's good for you to live with you for a while, after all, the transportation is convenient now, and the speed of airplanes and ships is also fast." ”
Sister Rachel snorted contemptuously and said, "Huh? How can the word 'developed' sum up the whole of great America? From food safety to air quality, please don't judge Chinese who haven't been there? It's really sitting in the well and watching the sky. ”
I... Good words are not good words, good words are heard, what is this?
Forget it, it's none of my business, for Aunt Li's sake, I won't raise the bar with the girl, I'll flash.
I was already preparing to retreat, and finally said in case I was prepared: "Then you two can continue to negotiate, and I, a person from an inferior country, will not follow and mix." But Rachel, Sister Rachel, tell you, your mother is next door... I'm not scolding you, I'm saying that your mother's house next door to the house lives a neuropath, the last time he quarreled until he slept the person was stabbed by him, and then died miserably, I think it's better for you to quarrel or go home to quarrel, don't believe you ask your mother, is it Aunt Li? ”
Aunt Li nodded and said, "Yes, Xiaorui, what Xiao Zhao said is true, let's go home and talk, don't make noise to rest." ”
The disgust on Rachel's face grew even stronger, almost with anger, and she fanned her hand hard in front of her, as if the air here really made her uncomfortable.
After a few slaps, she gasped a few times and said, "Okay, then we won't talk here, Mommy, you go out with me, let's find a café to have a serious chat, although you can't drink authentic American coffee in China, but there is no way, so I have to force it first." ”
"Oh, girl, how many times has my mother told you, my mother can't get used to drinking those foreign things, can't you just talk to your mother at home? We have good local green tea, don't we drink it the same? When you were a child, when your dad drank tea, didn't you like to drink it along? ”
Aunt Li's expression was as if she was about to cry, her tone was full of pleading, and her daughter was even more fierce, and she directly said with a look of hatred: "Mommy! What age is it now? Still drinking Chinese tea? You don't want to be so cheesy, okay? I've been living in the U.S. since I was 24 years old, how can I remember what happened as a child? Don't talk about those meaningless things anymore, okay? You're my Rachel's mommy, don't embarrass me, okay?! ”
"Hey, it's your mother, don't you say that you grew up eating air before the age of 24, okay?" I couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but say.
Sister Rachel glanced at me, no, she gave me a blank look, then turned around and continued to say to Aunt Li: "Okay, Mommy, then let's go find a Western restaurant, although the domestic Western restaurants are terrible, but we can only endure it, this is always okay, right?" ”
Aunt Li continued to sigh and said, "Alas, girl, let's go home and close the door and say that the conversation is not okay?" Are you so reluctant to stay at your mother's house? ”
I said in line with the principle of watching the excitement and not making a big deal: "Yes, you don't want to stay at your mother's house?" ”
Sister Rachel was angry like a pufferfish, her whole body swelled and shrank, and then she seemed to say to Aunt Li like an ultimatum: "Okay, then we won't go anywhere, I'll ask you one last sentence here, Mommy, you say, are you going back to America with me, or do you want to stay in this bad country?" ”
Aunt Li struggled for a long time before saying, "Forget it, girl, you go back to the United States, Mom can't leave, Mom can't leave your dad alone..."
"Ignorance!" Sister Rachel was already shaking irregularly, and then she said angrily, "Okay! Then you will continue to accompany the dead man! I've done my duty! Good bye! ”
After saying this, Sister Rachel turned her head and walked towards the elevator, I felt that I was stunned by what she said, and I didn't react for a while.
Just when Sister Rachel was waiting for the elevator, Aunt Li cried and shouted, "He is also your father when he dies!" If it weren't for your father's blessing, would you two brothers and sisters be so smooth? ”
At this moment, the elevator came, and Sister Rachel said to me and Aunt Li while entering the elevator: "Ignorance! Obstinate! Feudal! Superstition! ”
As the elevator slowly closed, I suddenly heard a knock on the door of Lao Wang's house, which was oops, and it really alarmed him.
Nervous for a while, I hurriedly pulled Aunt Li back to her house, closed and locked her door, and then made a silent gesture to Aunt Li.
I got closer to the cat's eye and saw that Lao Wang had come out.
Fortunately, there was no one in the corridor, and Lao Wang walked back and forth twice, scratched his head, and returned to his home.
After my heartbeat stabilized a little, I turned to Aunt Li and said, "Okay, Aunt Li, let's rest for a while, I'll go back next door." ”
Aunt Li asked, "Is there really a psychopath next door?" When Xiao Gu told me before, I thought he didn't want me to live in and deliberately talked nonsense. I smiled bitterly and said, "Uncle Gu didn't lie to you, that's really a psychopath, Auntie..."
After a moment's hesitation, I continued: "You and your daughter... Seems a bit of a contradiction, huh? Aunt Li sighed and said, "Come, Xiao Zhao, come in and sit." ”
After speaking, Aunt Li carefully closed the inner door, so that the sound insulation effect could be better.
I walked into the room, after all, I had had a meal at someone's house before, so I didn't hold back too much.
Sitting on the sofa, I carefully considered how to comfort Aunt Li, I am really not good at this kind of thing, because my relationship with my parents is worse than that of her and her daughter, but if I don't say something, seeing Aunt Li still look so sad at her age, I am really a little distressed.
She's a girl, too, why is she still talking to her mother like this? Then again, what did they mean when they mentioned Aunt Li's husband just now? Aunt Li's husband is dead? Is that what happened in the past two days?
I was thinking, Aunt Li, who was busy in the kitchen as soon as I got home, finally came out, she was holding a purple sand teapot and four small teacups, and Aunt Li also sat down after putting it on the coffee table, and said to herself without waiting for me to ask her: "Alas, she doesn't drink the tea made for Xiaorui, Xiao Zhao, if you don't dislike it, you will drink it, it should be cold for a while." ”
While saying "no dislike, no dislike", I poured a glass for myself and Aunt Li.
I took a sip of warm tea, thought about it and said, "Auntie, that... Auspicious... Sister Xiaorui has probably lived abroad for a long time, and her thoughts must be different from those of us who live in China all the year round, don't worry too much about their young people, hehe. ”
Aunt Li wiped her tears with a handkerchief and said, "Xiao Zhao, you said that Auntie was right or wrong when she sent their brother and sister to study in the United States?" ”
I don't know how to comment on other people's family affairs and say that she did the right thing? What have you raised your children to be? Say she's not doing it right? At that time, I don't think I can even imagine how much effort she put into sending her children abroad.
So I simply said haha, "Hey, being a parent must be for the good of your children." ”
Aunt Li sighed and said, "Yes, as a parent, who doesn't look forward to the good of the child, Xiao Zhao, your parents must be very good to you?" ”
I said "hehe" twice, noncommittal.
Maybe she hadn't talked to anyone for too long, or maybe her daughter's sudden visit touched her heart, and Aunt Li took the initiative to tell me the story of her family without waiting for me to ask...
Unlike most people of her time, Aunt Li was very rich in her ancestors, and if she hadn't caught up with a series of catastrophes against people like them after the founding of the People's Republic of China, she would have been an orthodox 'old aristocrat'.
It's just that because of the times, her family's wealth was almost gone, but there are some things that can't be snatched away, such as knowledge, vision, ability, concepts, etc.
Later, Aunt Li married her husband, who was a good match at the time, and lived the same life as most people at that time with the tide of the times.
Later, she had a son, then a daughter, and then caught up with the era of 'throwing away the iron rice bowl and going to the sea to make a lot of money', Aunt Li's husband did not hesitate to respond to the call and began to display his talents.
The original connections, coupled with their own talent and hard work, gradually became more and more prosperous and happy for the family.
So at the right time, the two of them followed the new round of trend together and sent a pair of children to the United States one after another.
Go to school, work, change nationality, settle down.
The two children did inherit their parents' minds and were very smart, but the long-term influence of foreign culture has gradually changed their minds.
Later, Aunt Li's husband finally fell ill because of long-term fatigue.
Because he knew Aunt Li very well, the old man had the foresight to sell all the properties under his name before he died.
Aunt Li is very smart and has read books, but when it comes to specific business, she really has no experience, and her husband simply converted his property into cash and a few houses, which is enough for Aunt Li to spend her old age in peace.
Later, when her husband left, Aunt Li has been living alone, knowing that her children are doing well in the United States, Aunt Li is also at ease and leisurely.
Speaking of this, Aunt Li probably felt that she was finally finished, so she got up and went to the toilet by herself.
She went to the bathroom, and I was almost scared to pee.
That's not right! Isn't her husband still alive? Didn't you stay in the back room? Didn't you send me mooncakes during the Mid-Autumn Festival?
After Aunt Li came out of the bathroom, she continued to wipe her tears and said: "Alas, Xiao Zhao, don't blame your sister Xiaorui for not listening to her words, she just stayed abroad for too long, the environment is different, this person's thoughts and views are naturally different, don't you mind..."
I shook my head and said, "I really don't mind your daughter's business, Aunt Li, this is you... The whole story of you and my uncle, your husband? ”
Li Ah responded and said: "Well, yes, this is the whole story before I moved to this community, if Xiao Zhao is willing to listen to it, Auntie will tell you again another day." ”
I asked with a confused face: "No, then Aunt Li... Didn't you keep saying before... Say your uncle is in the back room? Why is my uncle dead again? ”
Aunt Li was stunned for a moment and asked, "Huh? Don't you know? ”
I'm going crazy, what do I know about your family?
Then Aunt Li suddenly realized: "Oh, by the way, alas, it's all my fault, I'm old, I'm confused." Just think that my children are abroad and don't know these things, I have forgotten that most of the young people nowadays don't care about these things, no wonder Xiao Zhao you live in this community... That Xiao Zhao, why don't you meet your uncle? ”
I'm confused +2, how can I see it? Aunt Li wouldn't be trying to kill me, so I would have a meeting with her husband Jiuquan, right?
Aunt Li didn't let me think about it, and got up directly and said, "Then come here, alas..."
I rubbed it, I didn't promise you to see it!
Seeing that Aunt Li had already walked towards the back room, although I was reluctant, I had to follow her and walk inside.
Until she walked to the door, Aunt Li said while opening the door: "Old man, our neighbor Xiao Zhao has come to see you..."
As the door was pushed open, a stronger smell of burning incense suddenly came out, and I followed to look into the room and was stupid, is this a bedroom or a mourning hall?
