On the second day's flowing water seat, Zhao Shuxin really didn't appear, not only him, but even Qian Manzhi's mother and daughter didn't show up.

A good person in the village asked Sun Yan, and she shook her up. Some people couldn't understand the look in their eyes, and they wanted to ask, but they were stepped on by the person next to them before they shut up.

The people in the village were not curious, but Sun Yan obviously didn't want to say it, they were always bad at gossiping in the Zhao family, and if they wanted to say it, they had to leave the Zhao family.

Sun Yan wished that Zhao Shuxin would not come, even if she was scolded by Zhao's mother for a sentence or two, she felt that it was a good deal.

Zhao's mother was not happy in her heart, but in front of the guests, she had to put on a smiling face, so that no one could know that she was unhappy.

In the entire Zhao family, only Zhao Xiaoming is the happiest person, he is indeed dissatisfied with the specialty, but on today's festive day, listening to different people praising him, his heart also floated.

Not only did the people in the village praise him, but even the teachers who specially invited him to sit at the table were also praising him, saying that he was smart, but unfortunately he was born in a small mountain village, and if he was born in the city, he would definitely be able to take the exam better.

The school teachers all said this, and the villagers who didn't understand anything should of course echo it. After hearing too many words of such praise, Zhao Xiaoming also thought that if he was born in the city, he would definitely be admitted to the best university in the capital.

He was happy to listen to what everyone praised him, and it would be better if these people drank a little less and spoke a little more gentlely, and didn't start swearing after two glasses of wine.

Zhao Xiaoming listened to the vulgar language of the people in the village, and hurriedly walked to the teacher's table and asked them not to care.

Most of the teachers who teach in township middle schools have relatives who have relatives in the countryside at home, and they don't make a fuss about such a scene, and they don't care about it one by one.

Zhao Xiaoming and the teacher were chatting, and suddenly there was a burst of firecrackers that everyone had to stop chatting.

"Xiao Ming, Xiao Ming!" As soon as the sound of firecrackers stopped, someone shouted at the throat.

Zhao Xiaoming heard that this was his uncle's voice, and he put away the smile on the corner of his mouth: "Teacher, my uncles are here, I'll go over and have a look first." ”

"Go ahead and leave us alone." Teachers are reasonable people.

"Zhao Xiaoming, Zhao Xiaoming!" The voices outside are getting louder and louder.

"Here we go!" Zhao Xiaoming walked out in response.

At the gate of the courtyard, Sun Yan was talking to her mother's brother, Zhao Shuli was giving her uncles a cigarette, and Zhao Xiaojun and Zhao Xiaofang went to help after saying hello.

There was still a lot of work waiting for people in the kitchen, and the brother and sister didn't have time to chat, so they couldn't watch the cooks sweat, they put their hands in their pockets to watch the excitement. They are not Zhao Xiaoming, today he is the protagonist of the indisputable, as long as he is responsible for showing his face to entertain guests.

"Xiao Ming, why did you come, did you want to eat national food when you were admitted to college, so you look down on your uncles?" Uncle Sun patted Zhao Xiaoming's shoulder and said.

"Uncle, I don't."

"Big brother, Xiao Ming was accompanying the guest just now, he is your nephew, he is a junior, how can you let him answer this. You go sit down and drink first. Zhao Shuli pulled his uncles to sit on the table.

Uncle Sun heard that there was good wine and could still serve it, but his younger brothers were impatient, and they were coaxed to the table by Zhao Shuli in a few words.

A table of good wine and good food is exclusively for the Sun family, even the elderly with children, the Sun family came to more than a dozen people, a table is still a little crowded, and the children can only stand to eat.

Uncle Sun originally wanted to educate Zhao Xiaoming a few words, but he forgot about the matter of holding the wine glass.

The rest of the village dispersed one after another after eating and drinking, and only those who were closer to the Zhao family stayed and waited for the dinner in the evening.

Of course, Uncle Sun's family also stayed, and after Zhao Xiaoming sent the school teacher away, they were pulled in front of him and pointed at him one by one.

Sun Yan also accompanied her mother's family to speak, and she still remembered in her heart what Uncle Sun said to make things difficult for Zhao Xiaoming at the door just now. On festive days, she couldn't say anything in front of outsiders, but when there were only her own people left in the house, she began to complain to her mother's brother and sister-in-law.

"Swallow, what did you say?" My grandmother is over 70 years old, and her ears have been difficult since last year, and she didn't hear a word of what Sun Yan said.

"Mother, it's nothing, I'll talk to my eldest brother." Sun Yan didn't want the old man to know the conflict between the brother and sister, so she coaxed her mother over with a few kind words.

"Yanzi, don't talk about those who have or don't, I can't say a few words about my nephew when I am an uncle? He hasn't entered the city to be a cadre yet, and if he really wants to be a cadre, does he plan not to come to my door in the future? I'm not afraid of offending my capable nephew. Uncle Sun drank a few glasses of wine and began to brag and talk big.

Zhao Xiaoming turned his head in annoyance, he didn't want to sit and talk with the drunkard, he wanted to go without delay, and his grandmother was holding his hand and doing homely things.

Zhao Shuli was also angry that his brother-in-law didn't pay attention to the occasion when he spoke and did things, but he didn't show it on his face, and he coughed twice before he said: "Big brother, I won't stop you when your uncle wants to beat or scold your nephew, and if your nephew asks for help, do you also have to do something." ”

"How can you help?" Fifth Uncle Sun stared at Zhao Shuli vigilantly, afraid that he would make an unreasonable request.

Zhao Shuli gave cigarettes to his five brothers-in-law, big and small, and took out a cigarette and lit it: "Hehe, it's not a big deal, it's a little favor." Xiao Ming's school expenses are still a little short, and I want to ask a few of your uncles to help me make up a little bit and pay it back after he graduates. ”

Zhao Xiaoming stared down at the ground, all kinds of eyes stayed on his face, and he felt a great humiliation. He is a college student, and he has to ask for someone to borrow some tuition, and even his uncle is slow to speak, and he looks down on people one by one.

"Swallow, brother-in-law, nephew will definitely support schooling, and I also want to lend you money, but the family is almost unable to open the pot, where is the money to lend you." Second Uncle Sun was the first to speak. He is also telling the truth, he has the worst conditions among his brothers, there are many children in the family, and half of the eldest child eats the poor old man, he said that he has no money and really has no money.

Zhao Shuli's target was not him, he shook his head lightly and didn't speak, he waited for Uncle Sun to make a statement.

Fifth Uncle Sun was preempted by Second Uncle Sun, and he was the second to speak: "Brother-in-law, it's a good thing for my nephew to go to school, I don't have the ability to be an uncle, don't say whether to borrow or not." I have five yuan here, counting the gift I gave to Xiao Ming, I can't take out any more money, see if there is a way for the eldest brother. "Fifth Uncle Sun was too shrewd, and sent people with five yuan, and by the way, he also shifted everyone's attention to Uncle Sun.

Uncle Sun drank a little too much, and he waved his hand: "Brother-in-law, you asked me to borrow money, but it was the wrong person." I don't want money, I have a life, don't look for me, I don't have money anyway. ”

After Uncle Sun spoke, only the twin brothers of Third Uncle Sun and Fourth Uncle Sun did not express their position. The brothers glanced at each other, shook their heads together and said: "Brother-in-law, we don't have any money, it's a good thing for Xiao Ming to go to college, let's unite one by one, this money is used as a gift money for today's drink, no matter how much you want, just this ten yuan is also borrowed." ”

Zhao Xiaoming's face was gloomy, he stood in the room and listened to a bunch of nonsense, swallowed his anger and asked them to criticize, and only raised a total of 25 yuan, which was to send him away as a flower.
