Text Chapter 6 The Xiao Family's Turmoil
The table was full of delicacies, lobster, clams, brown crabs and other seafood, at that time, in the small northern city, there were only a handful of families who could eat such a complete set of seafood, as well as a few unknown southern dishes, light stir-fry, cold cucumbers, etc., Xiao Qing didn't know when he brought a large bottle of juice, put it on the table, and then got up to get a cup, Sun Kai looked at the full Han banquet on this table, and said to me: "I haven't eaten such a complete dish when I'm so big, it's too rich." I said, "No, just one or two stir-fried vegetables or stews at home, my dad can still have a little bit of a good taste at home, he usually likes to make some food and drink, my mother is miserable at home, always green vegetables dipped in sauce, or eggs and tomatoes or something." Sun Kai smiled and said: "That's miserable for me, I usually make it myself, and there are a few home-cooked dishes that I often eat to make do, and occasionally I want to try other dishes on a whim, but accidentally it becomes a dark dish, either made into a pot or made into a swill that has changed its flavor." ”
At this time, Xiao Qing came over with a cup and said, "What are you talking about, don't eat it quickly, otherwise it will be cold again after a while." ”
Xiao Qing poured a glass of juice for me and Sun Kai each, and then sat down and sandwiched a crab for me. Xiao Qing turned sideways and grinned: "You are far away from me," after speaking, he looked at him and laughed, I glanced at it, the roots of his ears were red, and he swallowed a lobster, then I asked Xiao Qing: "Is your mother a chef, how can you cook so many dishes, northern and southern dishes are all done." ”
Xiao Qing nodded lightly and said: "My grandfather used to be a celebrity chef, I heard my mother say that it would be in his county, but he is a famous chef who is known to everyone, my mother grew up in a celebrity chef's house, and of course she has studied food cooking." ”
After hearing this, Sun Kai said happily: "No wonder this table of dishes is all made with color, flavor and flavor, today is really delicious." ”
At this time, Xiao Qing's mother came over after washing her hands, and said with a light smile, "How does it taste," I gave a thumbs up, swallowed a mouthful of food, and said, "Aunt Zhang's cooking skills are amazing, this is the most delicious dish I have ever tasted." ”
Xiao Qing's mother smiled and said, "Eat more if it's delicious, whenever you want to eat in the future, as long as I'm at home, I can come and eat at any time." ”
I looked at Xiao Qing's mother, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, extraordinary temperament, noble in simplicity, and elegant in her words, I examined myself, if I want to become a character like her, I still have a long way to go in the future.
At the end of the meal, I heard the sound of the room lock Caracalla, I looked at Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing said, "It's my dad who came back, it's rare to come back so early today." ”
At this time, the door opened, and a burly man stood at the door, with straight long legs, a sturdy body, a height of 180, his cheeks were red, it seemed that he had drunk a lot, with a pair of gold-wire glasses, polite and dignified, under the vicissitudes of life, a pair of peugeot eyes were bright, with a refreshing parted head, wearing a long black woolen coat, and the eyebrows were full of refined temperament.
I sighed for a while, is this Xiao Qing's father, he is so handsome, no wonder Xiao Qing was born exquisitely clear, and he was captivated by the country, it turned out that he had good genes.
After he changed his shoes and hung his coat on the hanger, he saw me and Sun Kai, so he walked over, looked at Xiao Qing's mother and said, "There are guests," Xiao Qing's mother smiled and said: "It's Xiao Qing's friend, I came to the house for the first time today, and I usually bother them to take care of them." ”
Xiao Qing's father lifted his glasses, looked at Xiao Qing and said, "Why haven't you heard Xiao Qing mention it, it's really negligent," with a hoarse voice.
Xiao Qing pouted and said, "Usually when I mention it to you, you ignore it, and you forget it when you hear it, and you can't remember it when I say it a few times." ”
Then Xiao Qing introduced the two of us one by one.
At this time, Sun Kai had already stood up, made a standard bow, and bowed 90 degrees to be both standard and exaggerated, and said loudly: "Hello Uncle Xiao, my name is Sun Kai,"
Xiao Qing's father smiled and said, "Okay, good, our family is always cold in front of the door, so we will come to play often in the future." ”
Then he turned his gaze to me, and I nodded my head to him as a greeting, and whispered, "Hello uncle, my name is Wang Tao." ”
Xiao Qing's father stared at me for a while and said, "This young man has a good fortune." ”
Xiao Qing glanced at Xiao's father and said, "When will you see your face." ”
Xiao Qing's father smiled faintly and said, "I'm self-taught." ”
After speaking, he said to Sun Kai and me: "You two eat more, there are many books suitable for your age in the study, if you like to read, feel free to read them." Sun Kai and I both nodded yes, and then he looked at Xiao Qing and said lovingly, "Is the pocket money enough?" Xiao Qing said, "There is more." After hearing this, Xiao's father casually took out a delicate wallet from his pocket, took out a dozen hundred-yuan bills in it without looking, handed it to Xiao Qing and said: "Take your friends to have a good time, buy something delicious, although there is nothing to play in this small town, but it costs money to go shopping, buy books and eat." ”
Sun Kai and I were dumbfounded, Sun Kai looked at it with his mouth wide open, Xiao Qing took the money and put it on the tablecloth with no expression.
After he finished speaking, he whispered to Xiao Qing's mother behind him, "You come in." After speaking, she walked straight to the bedroom, and after hearing this, Xiao Qing's mother turned around and said to us: "You eat slowly, I will give you hot water when the food is cold for a while." With that, he also walked to the bedroom.
After Xiao's mother left, Sun Kai hurriedly came over and asked Xiao Qing: "Xiao Qing, what does your father do, he is so rich, my father gives me pocket money for a few yuan every time." ”
After saying that, he scratched his nose a little excitedly.
Xiao Qing said disappreciably: "The one who built the house, my mother is his accountant." ”
Only then did I understand why Xiao Qing spent money lavishly, it turned out that there was a chaebol father.
I said to Xiao Qing: "Your father is really masculine, are the genes of your ancestors so good?" ”
Xiao Qing smiled and said, "This is called reincarnation." ”
After hearing this, Sun Kai said: "In the future, I will grow up, and I will be rich and powerful like your father." ”
Xiao Qing said helplessly: "Life is not happy, what can you do if you are rich and powerful?" ”
As I was talking, I heard a burst of quarrels coming from the bedroom, the sound was getting louder and louder, more and more fierce, Sun Kai and I looked at Xiao Qing, Xiao Qing's eyes were a little helpless, her delicate cheeks were flushed with a reddish luster, and she smiled lightly in an instant, and said to the two of us: "It's okay, don't pay attention to them, I'm used to it." ”
Sun Kai and I didn't squeak, Xiao Qing dragged her cheek with one hand, sat there in a daze, staring at the white wooden door of the bedroom, I pushed Sun Kai, Sun Kai understood what I meant, and said to Xiao Qing: "Xiao Qing, we're done eating, let's clean up the table," Xiao Qing turned her head, looking a little haggard and uneasy, and said softly: "Eat so fast, are you full?" ”
Sun Kai said with a smile: "I've always been full of burps, and if I eat again, I will gain two catties of meat." ”
Xiao Qing said, "Okay. ”
As soon as the words fell, I heard Xiao Qing's father's angry roar from the bedroom: "If you leave, you don't have to wait for that day." ”
Then the bedroom door was quickly opened, and the tall father Xiao walked out angrily, sweeping away the gentle and elegant state just now, he picked up the black woolen coat, put on his shoes neatly, opened the door, and slammed his hand back hard, with a loud bang, and walked away like the wind.
The room was silent, only the sound of Xiao's mother sobbing came from the bedroom, Sun Kai and I were motionless as if we had been pointed, Xiao Qing lowered her head, pressed her two hands on her ears, and sobbed sadly, her beautiful eyebrows were curved, her body slowly trembled, her eyes were closed, and she held two thin lips, looking very pitiful and painful.
I slowly stood up and patted Xiao Qing on the back, I don't understand what all this is about, but I know that Xiao Qing and Xiao's mother are crying at the moment, which makes me very depressed, Sun Kai also stood up, walked behind Xiao Qing, and whispered: "Xiao Qing, don't be sad, it's not good to look when you're crying." ”
Xiao Qing ignored the two of us, still sobbing, we could only comfort her with this silent silence, there was no other way, after a few minutes or so, Xiao Qing raised her head, choked up and said: "I already knew that these things that can't be escaped and can't be avoided are going to come after all." ”
Hearing this, I seemed to understand a little, Xiao Qing muttered to herself: "There are other women outside him, and he has long been in a discord with my mother, and he rarely goes home, even if he comes back, he comes to ask what is lacking at home, so he buys it all back." ”
Sun Kai was surprised for a while and asked, "Then why didn't you divorce early when the relationship broke down?" ”
Xiao Qing choked up and didn't speak, I saw that she was still crying, so I handed her a wad of facial tissues, she wiped her red eyes from crying, and said, "They want to wait until I graduate from high school before divorcing, for fear of affecting my studies." ”
After listening to it, I comforted: "Don't cry Xiao Qing, as well as me and Sun Kai, and my mother who loves you so much, we will both walk with you through thick and thin in the future." ”
Xiao Qing stopped crying, as if she was moved by this sentence, she pursed her lips and said, "Come on, you two will marry and have children in the future, each has its own family, and the only one who can accompany me is my poor mother." ”
After hearing this, Sun Kai quickly replied: "I don't marry someone else, I will marry you." ”
