Section 44 A pair of shoes
At dinner that day, it was rare for the uncle and father to be there, and it was also the most crowded meal in recent times. During the meal, the uncle suddenly said to his grandmother: "Mom, I plan to let Xiaojing and Chenchen go back to Shanghai in a few days." This Chenchen will be in elementary school next year, and I've been with you long enough recently, and I'll be in trouble if I fall behind in the preschool class. ”
Zhang Jing was stunned for a moment and looked up at the uncle. Obviously, the uncle did not discuss the matter of letting the two of them go back to Shanghai. However, it is also reasonable to go back for the sake of the child's learning. Zhang Jing glanced at her grandmother: "Mom, Cao Qi is right, Chenchen's kindergarten, it is not easy to get in, there are places, if he doesn't go back for a long time, I'm afraid there will be no place to go back." ”
"Auntie, are you going back to Shanghai? I'm not rare enough yet. Cao Cancan said coquettishly. Cancan, hehe, when you are not busy with your studies in some time, you will go to Shanghai with your parents to play, anyway, it is not far away. ”
"My mom and dad? Hey, pull it down, auntie, when have you ever seen our family of three in a public event together? There really will be a day when it will be big news in the newspaper world. ”
"Cancan, eat!" The father suddenly raised his head and roared softly at Cao Cancan, that feeling was that he hoped that she would shut up quickly, otherwise, maybe she would say something inconsequential.
"Are you going back? Oops, which day to go? Then I'll go to the street for the past two days to buy you some favorite food and take it. "Aunt Jean is very cute at this point, like a little child. When he heard that Zhang Jing and they were leaving, he was directly overjoyed, and he couldn't hide it if he wanted to, even if he was excited after a while.
"Xiaoqin, don't be busy, Nanjing and Shanghai are not far away, and things are basically the same. I won't go, Zhang Jing and Chenchen will go back first. ”
"Husband, aren't you going back?" Zhang Jing asked.
"Ah, there's still something to be done here, let's talk about it after it's done." The uncle didn't look at Zhang Jing, but ate his food in a big gulp.
"Oh, my little Chenchen, grandma is going to be separated from you again, grandma is so reluctant to let you go. Tell grandma quickly, will you miss grandma when you go back? Well? Grandma hugged Chenchen and asked one after another.
"Yes, I miss grandma." This kid's quirky appearance provoked his grandmother to hug him tightly and keep sticking to Chenchen's face.
Father never expressed his attitude on the matter of Zhang Jing's imminent departure, in fact, it is understandable that after all, his father has no way to influence anything to stay, but it is obvious that the frown is much deeper than before the meal.
Aunt Qin and her father's attitudes were diametrically opposed. After all, Aunt Qin is a lover of personality, and may have lived in this oppressive environment for a long time, and suddenly she is about to clear the clouds and see the blue sky, that feeling, it is like a waterfowl ashore in a piece of polluted waters, and the feathers are all fixed, and as soon as Zhang Jing left, suddenly, it was as if the pores and cells of the whole body were transparent.
Aunt Qin's meal was eaten faster than any other. After eating, he said hello and hurried upstairs. Soon, he came down with two bags.
"Xiao Jing, I went to the street a few days ago and bought a pair of shoes, which are the pair of boots I put at the door, didn't you say you like it. But there is no yardage of the same style, do you like this pair? It's pretty much the same, anyway, I think it's a good match for you, so I bought it. You'll try it after you've eaten in a moment. Aunt Qin's words caused everyone to stare sideways at the bag in Aunt Qin's hand.
After Zhang Jing swallowed the contents of his mouth, he smiled on his face: "Oh, Xiaoqin, I just said it casually, you see, you are like this, I am so embarrassed." Ah. ”
"What's polite, it's all family. Besides, you and Chenchen can't come back twice a year, and as soon as you leave this time, you'll have to celebrate the New Year, so it should be. ”
"What you say is like telling people that you can't come back before the Chinese New Year. Hmph, this chat is quite brainy. Father was on the side, talking about yin and yang.
Aunt Qin's face turned red all of a sudden. The uncle glared at his father beside him: "Xiaoqin, don't pay attention to Cao Mu, he has been more and more abnormal every day, since his father passed away." We all know you don't mean that. ”
"I... That's not what I meant, Jing. Aunt Qin's hands that took out the shoe box stopped in mid-air.
Zhang Jing was embarrassed: "Hey, I know, I know." Family, how can so many people listen to this? Besides, I just want to come back, and if anyone really doesn't want to, my mother won't allow it, right?! When Zhang Jing said this, she looked at her grandmother's face. Originally, Aunt Qin had some good intentions, but as a result, the few words that came and went changed all the taste.
The uncle suddenly put the bowl on the table: "Zhang Jing, Xiaoqin said it, I didn't mean that." Why are you still going up? Someone wouldn't want to? Hehe, you'd better not talk, or I'll send someone to send you and your son back to Shanghai tonight." The uncle's face was ugly, and when he said these words, he didn't look at Zhang Jing, but Zhang Jing became nervous.
"Husband~ What's wrong with me~ I didn't say anything? Wasn't I just joking? What's the matter, now that the Cao family can't even make jokes? Zhang Jing's tone was still shy, but the uncle didn't eat the good in these words.
Aunt Qin's face was already green, but she spent money but got involved in a circle battle, and she was unjustly killed.
"Oh, you guys, day by day, Xiaoqin doesn't mean that, Zhang Jing doesn't mean that, you two men, what kind of woman is right or wrong here, are you idle and panicked?" Grandma said in the direction of her father and uncle.
"That, auntie, I'll see if the shoes my mother bought for you look good." Cao Cancan stood up and played a round game. For this Cao Cancan, I know in my heart that she is in a good mood today, so she cares about the shortcomings of the family, otherwise, meddling in affairs is not her behavior and habit.
"Oh, Mom, you have a good eye! These shoes are beautiful! Look, auntie, how fashionable is this one my mother chose for you? It's too good for you. Try it, try it. As he spoke, he took one of them and ran in the direction of Zhang Jing. Zhang Jing put down the chopsticks, took the shoes in Cao Cancan's hand, and said perfunctorily: "Good-looking, good-looking, take me with you." ”
"Auntie, put it on and try it on." As he spoke, he was about to squat down and put on Zhang Jing's feet. Zhang Jing hid her feet: "Cancan, I'll come by myself, you go to dinner." Cao Cancan returned to his seat.
Grandma looked down on the side: "Xiaojing, don't say it, Xiaoqin's vision is really good this time, these shoes are really good-looking." If it weren't for the heel, haha, I, the old lady, would like to give it a try. Grandma quipped.
Aunt Qin saw that the atmosphere had eased, so she took out the other one in the box from the same place: "Xiaojing, if you like it, it's fine." Do you put both of them on and walk around to see if they fit? It's not suitable, I'm going to change it for the next two days. ”
"No, Xiaoqin, I think it's pretty good. No need to try, no need to try. "Zhang Jing has been aggrieved since her uncle scolded her with a tough attitude, and she can see that she is awkward. As he spoke, he was about to take off the shoe he was wearing.
As a result, Aunt Qin didn't know what she was suddenly excited about, she rushed to Zhang Jing's side with an arrow step, squatted down and dragged Zhang Jingfei to let her try another one, and kept muttering in her mouth, this person is big with one foot and small with one foot, and the high heels are not as good as other shoes, so they must be comfortable. Let Zhang Jing take a few more steps.
Zhang Jing put it in normal times, I guess she will go back and forth to try it on, and praise how she likes these shoes. After all, this woman wins in face. But today, she was angry with the uncle, so she didn't bother to flatter this relationship, just stood up, took two steps next to the seat, and wanted to sit down and take it off.
In fact, what Aunt Qin said was very reasonable, but unfortunately, no matter how reasonable it was, Aunt Qin said it to Zhang Jing, in the eyes of her father, it was all inappropriate.
Aunt Qin grabbed Zhang Jing's arm: "Walk more, I can't feel anything in these few steps." You go to the lobby and feel it, is there any foot? Grandma also echoed Aunt Qin's words: "Yes, Xiaojing, these shoes are not something that can be tried all at once." You go to the middle of the hall, it's spacious, walk around twice, no, it's good to change the violin. ”
As soon as Zhang Jing saw that her grandmother had spoken, she reluctantly went down the split-level steps of the dining room and walked to the hall. As soon as he took two steps, he said, "It's good, it's good." "I'm going to come back. Aunt Qin stood at the dining table, and when she saw Zhang Jing, who was about to come back in these two steps, she hurriedly dissuaded: "Oh, no, what can you feel in these two steps?" No, you go in the direction of the gate, go farther away, and try again. ”
As soon as he finished saying this, his father snapped and threw his chopsticks on the table! Scared Chenchen, he cried immediately!
I sat in my chair, not knowing what was going on, and I didn't think that Aunt Qin had said or done something wrong that made my father angry! Aunt Qin turned her head in fright, her eyes wide and round, looking at her angry father.
"Cao Mu, what are you doing! Look at what scares Chenchen. Chenchen doesn't cry, doesn't cry, he accidentally dropped the chopsticks, grandma hugs, don't cry Chenchen. ”
"My Cao family, whoever enters and who leaves, it is not your turn to drive people away here!" Father gritted his teeth and said to Aunt Qin.
Aunt Qin looked aggrieved: "Me? I, I, I didn't chase anyone, huh? Me, who am I driving? I'm just, just asking her to walk more to the spacious area on the other side of the door, and if it doesn't fit, I'll change it. I, I really didn't mean to chase her! Aunt Qin's voice became smaller and smaller, if it weren't for the intermittent sound of Chenchen's convulsions at that time, it is estimated that I would not be able to hear the words clearly.
"Cao Mu! You're sick! Xiaoqin kindly bought a pair of shoes to give to Zhang Jing, are you chewing words here, are you tired and panicked? Zhang Jing and I are a family, I didn't say anything, why are you so nervous! Yes?! The uncle frowned and said to his father.
