Chapter 11: Strange Calls
Just after eight o'clock, all the relatives have arrived as promised, even the aunt's family rushed back overnight last night, many relatives have rarely gathered recently, and now they are gathered together, and they are all smiling, but they were left out by their relatives in the summer.
At this moment, Xia Cumin realized that his relatives were not just looking down on him, as a bystander, he could see more clearly the disgusted eyes of many of them for summer.
She didn't want to pay attention to it, but Xia Yufei kept chattering endlessly beside her, and if she didn't ask, it would be too affectionate, after all, they were now a nominal "couple", so she asked her in a low voice What was wrong.
Xia Yufei replied angrily and in a low voice: "They all think that summer is a wild seed, so they have always hated him, today is okay, you didn't see it when you returned to your hometown during the Spring Festival, and it was annoying to see it." ”
"Why is he a wild seed?"
"Alas, my sister-in-law had a boyfriend back then, and the boyfriend ran away during her pregnancy, and the relatives felt that it was too embarrassing for my sister-in-law to get pregnant before marriage, so they kept asking my sister-in-law to beat the child, but how could my sister-in-law listen? How could my grandfather agree? There were many quarrels about this, and grandpa couldn't stand it and moved out with us, and he only went back once a year during the Spring Festival. ”
"But no matter what, the child is innocent." No wonder he sometimes seems to have a bit of low self-esteem, it seems that he has been bullied since he was a child.
"Where do they think that? You don't know, the ideas of the people in our countryside are simply incomprehensible. ”
"Then why invite them to come? Isn't it self-inflicted? ”
"Who's to say it isn't? But my grandfather said that it was rare for everyone to get together, so if we had to invite them, what could we do? ”
"But you can protest in the summer."
Xia Yufei glanced back and was still angry when she served tea and water to those relatives like a fool, "He? How dare you? My grandfather did whatever he said, and I never saw him protest once. ”
"So he's quite filial."
"He wasn't like this when he was a child, it suddenly changed after my sister-in-law died, and since then he has stopped arguing with those relatives.
While the two were talking, flower baskets ordered by relatives were sent one after another, and Xiang Kexin also rushed to the scene, so Xia Ziran could only entertain her, Xiang Kexin looked around while chatting, and asked in a low voice: "Hasn't Li Yunfeng come yet?" ”
Xia Cumin looked bitter, "No, but that's what makes people more worried." ”
"You don't have to worry too much, he won't mess around with me, after today, I'll find another opportunity to see if I can have a good talk with him, and try to solve this holiday, otherwise your store won't be able to open."
"But can Li Yunfeng easily agree?"
"He's not going to give up so easily, but he's going to have to try."
"Thank you, if it weren't for your help, we wouldn't know what to do."
Xiang Kexin smiled faintly, "By the way, what about the summer people?" By this time, she was still nowhere to be seen.
Xia Ziran pointed to the inside of the store, "He's entertaining his relatives inside." ”
Xiang Kexin was stunned for a moment, shook her head with a wry smile, "At this time, you still have the heart to entertain others?" ”
"Those are the elders of their family, and he, as a junior, will be gossiped about if he doesn't greet him."
Xiang Kexin couldn't help but think of her cumbersome family etiquette, and suddenly had a pain on her face, and sighed: "That's right, these etiquettes are really annoying." ”
Xia Ziran saw that her face was different, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Oh, nothing, just empathy."
"Who's to say it's not, it's the same with our family."
"Sister cumin, who is this sister?" Xia Yufei suddenly appeared at some point.
Xia Cumin reacted and hurriedly introduced them to each other, "Oh, this is my good sister Xiang Kexin, you can call her Sister Kexin, Kexin, this is Xia's cousin Xia Yufei." ”
Xia Yufei smiled and naturally took Xiang Kexin's hand, "Sister Kexin is so beautiful." ”
Xiang Kexin was praised with joy, "How can there be cumin beautiful?" ”
"That's different, if you want to say that Sister Cumin is a cold plum standing proudly in the ice and snow, you are a colorful rose, each with its own beauty."
"This little girl's mouth is so sweet." Xiang Kexin was in a happy mood and said with a smile: "Next time my sister takes you to play, you come with cumin." ”
"yes." Xia Yufei cheered, suddenly remembered the task, and hurriedly said: "By the way, Sister cumin, my grandfather called you in, the old man is happy today, she said you, yes: there is no beauty in the autumn, and you are a beautiful woman; The country and the city are shocked. It's good now, the relatives are envious and jealous, and they are all clamoring to see the true face of your Lushan. ”
Xia Ziran's face fell, Xiang Kexin was stunned for a while, and suddenly couldn't help but laugh evilly, "Yu Fei, your grandfather is really literate." ”
"That's of course, except for the summer, our family is not angry, the rest are all high-achieving students, okay Sister Kexin, let's not talk about this for now, you can go in together, my grandfather will definitely like you when he sees you, maybe he will let my cousin pursue you."
Xia Kexin's face also collapsed when she heard this, what kind of person is this? Dare to love his grandfather who specializes in picking beautiful women? At this moment, a lewd old man involuntarily appeared in her mind, and then with a wicked smile on her face, she introduced men one after another.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but shudder.
Just at this time, Xia Ziran looked over, and the two glanced at each other, and there was a feeling of being connected to the same fate, what a tragic thing!
Summer was busy inside, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, he picked it up and looked, it was Xiao Xie calling, so he quickly grabbed the phone and ran outside the store, just happened to meet the three women hand in hand, and was about to say hello to them, but at the same time ushered in Xia Ziran and Xiang Kexin's angry eyes, he didn't know why, but no matter how stupid he was, he would never dare to go up to greet them at this time, so he could only run away stupidly.
Looking for a remote place, he quickly connected the phone, and Xiao Xie's indifferent voice came: "Our people are near you, and so far no trace of Li Yunfeng has been found, and no suspicious characters have been found." ”
Summer looked at the time, there was still a quarter of an hour to come, and the lion dance team invited had also arrived now, with Li Yunfeng's character, it was impossible to let go of such a good opportunity, "Have you checked it out?" Will he be on his way to come. ”
"Find out, Li Yunfeng ......"
Halfway through the words, he suddenly paused for a while, and Summer's heart tightened, is it coming?
Unexpectedly, after only a while, Xiao Xie continued: "I just received information that Li Yunfeng has not left their house, so he should not come today. ”
Summer was shocked, what the hell is Li Yunfeng doing? Is it really so easy to give up? Forget it, don't care about him, it's just right not to come, less trouble.
But Xiao Xie's next words made Xia Xian instantly nervous, "But you'd better be careful, it's best to carefully check those flower baskets or lion dance teams, maybe although others don't come, they have other arrangements." ”
"You're saying it's possible for him to send someone to mix in with the lion dance team?" The heart that had just been put down hung again.
"It doesn't rule out, and at the same time, it doesn't rule out that he's going to do something in the basket."
Summer hurriedly looked at the lion dance team that was in full swing to make preparations, and then looked at the flower baskets neatly arranged outside the store, and suddenly felt a little at a loss. But if this is the case, my grandfather will not be angry with me at that time? Those relatives must not hate me to death?
Alas, the head is big!
"That's all I can do, the rest is up to you."
"Wait, don't hang up."
"Anything else?"
Summer gritted her teeth, "Can you give me a suggestion?" He really had no choice but to turn to him for help.
"Call 110 to call the police, remember, and call in front of Kexin."
"But what excuse do I have?"
"Let's just say there's a bomb."
"But what if not?"
"What if there is?"
Summer was suddenly speechless.
"That's it, if the police come and find out that there is no problem, you can lie about false information at most, and we will protect you, but if the police don't come, then it depends on your luck, so do it yourself."
Xia hadn't come back to his senses yet, and the phone had already hung up, but Xiao Xie was not unreasonable, in this case, it was better to be careful, so he hurriedly rushed into the store, and pulled Xiang Kexin and Xia Cumin out of the crowd under the old man's angry gaze.
When the two of them went outside, they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, Xia Ziran felt that Xia was not too annoying for the first time, and Xiang Kexin glanced at her gratefully, although they went in for a short time, but in a short period of time, they almost collapsed.
Without waiting for the two to speak, Summer took out the phone, and was about to call the police, when the phone suddenly rang, and he hung up directly as soon as he saw that it was an unfamiliar landline, but before he could call the police, the call immediately came again.
Seeing this, Xiang Kexin asked, "Whose phone is it, why don't you answer it?" ”
"I don't know who it is, an unfamiliar number."
Xia Ziran guessed: "Could it be Li Yunfeng?" ”
Xia almost blurted out that Li Yunfeng was at home, but fortunately he reacted in time.
Xiang Kexin saw that he was still hesitant, and hurriedly urged him, "Take it, is it possible that you don't even dare to answer a phone call?" ”
If he didn't answer, Xiang Kexin might be suspicious, but the matter had come to this point, he had to take it, "Hey......"
As soon as he said a word, a hoarse and deep voice came from the other end of the phone, "Today is a good day, how can there be no fireworks?" ”
"Who are you?"
"Hehe, you don't need to know who I am, in one minute, there will be a good show to help you get lucky."
