Chapter 9 The White Old Man's Family
Looking up and smiling at him, Xu Wenlan screamed much more simply, "Second brother, you also eat egg custard." ”
"That chicken cake - the ...... that my mother steamed for you" Bai Shengwu also refused, but those eyes never left the bowl.
Xu Wenlan let it go again, his eyes looked at Bai Shengwen, but his hand quickly took the bowl, and in a few bites, he rowed the remaining egg custard into his mouth, stuffed it full, and his cheeks bulged.
"Eat slowly, who will rob you?" Bai Shengwen scolded in a low voice, but the corners of his mouth were smiling, and his eyes were very gentle.
Bai Shengwu devoured it, and also gave Xu Wenlan a thumbs up: "Righteous ......"
Xu Wenlan almost sweated, but laughed again when she thought about it.
Looking at these two brothers, Xu Wenlan suddenly felt that it was her blessing to have such a family.
After Bai Shengwu wiped his hands and face, the three of them entered the main room.
Like the house they lived in, the main room was also an outhouse as soon as you entered the house, and hot water was boiling on the small stove, which would turn on, and you could hear the sound of water droplets rolling through the cover.
The Bai family has a large population, and they live in separate houses, and there is a small stove in the outhouse in each house, on the one hand, for the convenience of water, and on the other hand, it is for burning the kang.
The big cooking room is the one on the edge, and it doesn't burn the kang, so it's usually used for cooking.
When Xu Wenlan and the two brothers of the Bai family entered the house, the food was on the table.
A room full of people, Xu Wenlan hadn't had time to see who was who, and had already been pulled over by the Zhu family, "Wenlan, please ...... grandpa and grandma."
On the table on the kang head, sitting in the innermost part is an old man, the kang is hot, he is not wearing a cotton jacket, only a gray coat, this will be smoking a dry tobacco bag, seeing Xu Wenlan turned around, he didn't smoke anymore, only held the dry tobacco bag in his hand, and looked at Xu Wenlan.
He looked at Xu Wenlan, and Xu Wenlan also looked at him.
This is the white grandfather, he should already be sixty-six or seventeen, his face is full of wrinkles, and he knows that he is a serious person who doesn't like to laugh, and his cheeks are flushed, as if he has applied a layer of rouge.
This is the same as Bai Yingkui, northerners, the weather, integrated into the genes, many people are red and red, Xu Wenlan had a colleague in her previous life who had such a face, she didn't think it was strange.
It's just that he couldn't help but stare at Bai Shengwen in the end.
The little handsome guy is good now, he didn't show that kind of gene, if he grew up like grandpa and dad, then he wouldn't be as delicate as he is now.
It's the white grandmother, you can't see the red face, although she has to be in her forties, but the skin on her face is still delicate, she looks pink and white, and her body is also clean and neat, although the clothes are old, they are very clean.
It's just that a pair of inverted triangular eyes make her face look a little mean, her eyes are sharp, very indifferent, and there is no sense of charity.
After eavesdropping on those words before, Xu Wenlan also knew that this grandmother didn't have a good impression of her, so she would be even more careful.
crisply called "Hello grandpa", and immediately turned around and called "Hello grandma".
She felt very polite, but after these two calls, someone laughed, "Yo, look at our future nephew and daughter-in-law, what a big shelf!" It also means that this is a daughter in Beijing, right? ”
It was Bai Laosan's daughter-in-law, and before Xu Wenlan could react, a girl rushed over and pushed her on the shoulder.
was defenseless, Xu Wenlan almost fell to the ground, but it was Zhu who helped her to stand firmly.
"Lotus, what are you doing here?"
Xu Wenlan stood up and looked at the girl who was wearing a bright red right side inlaid lace jacket and two small silver earrings on her ears, and she was also a little confused.
Who is this? Why do you push people as soon as you come up?
Holding Xu Wenlan, Zhu asked her in a low voice, "You didn't fall, did you?" This is your aunt Lotus. ”
Lotus? White Lotus?! That's a real name......
Xu Wenlan couldn't laugh at this, and when she saw the white lotus with her head up and her chin facing her, she felt angry.
This White Lotus, which looks like thirteen or fourteen, should be the same age as the younger brother of the third family of the white old man, and the temper of the younger brother does not look good, but this white lotus has more arrogant taste than the younger brother.
The white face with incense powder was full of contempt, and Xu Wenlan's gaze was even colder, "What am I doing?" Sister-in-law, why are you embarrassed to ask? What's going on with this child daughter-in-law in your family? has become our child's daughter-in-law, what are you pretending to be noble? ”
As soon as she raised her head, she snorted, "It's not that it's everyone's daughter, what kind of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are all good, and what kind of good tutor knows the rules?" Look at this, I don't even know how to do a salute, what else do you say, Miss Qianjin! ”
Salute?!
With her eyes flickering, Xu Wenlan knew why this old lady was crazy.
Also, modern people don't pay so much attention to etiquette, and she really hasn't learned how to behave, is it like what kind of "auspiciousness" is there in the Qing palace drama? God, let's get rid of it!
Xu Wenlan thought wildly in her heart, and Zhu's face was a little indelible, "Wen Lan is still sick!" What are you doing with her? Besides, the etiquette of their capital is probably different from ours......"
"What's the difference? If she doesn't know how to say 'Hai Blessed', then just kneel down!" This, probably whether it's Kyori or ours, it's the same......"
"She's not okay yet...... Zhu Shi hurriedly distinguished, where he was willing to let Xu Wenlan kneel.
Xu Wenlan picked her eyes, looked at the white lotus, and her anger suddenly rose.
This little girl is deliberately looking for fault, right?
Still kneeling?! She's in her twenties, who has she ever knelt in?
Grabbing Zhu's hand, Xu Wenlan stared at the eyes of the white lotus, and said with a smile: "I really let my aunt say it right, speaking of which, this piano, I really know how to play, this calligraphy and painting dare not be too fine, but it always will, as for chess!" Do you want to play Go? Chess? If you don't play checkers, I'll be there for you. However, I really can't do this 'Wanfu' - why don't you teach me, aunt? ”
Hearing Xu Wenlan say that he really knew how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, the arrogance of the White Lotus immediately extinguished a lot.
She followed her brother to know a few words, which is already rare in the backing mountain, just said that, but it was just a sarcasm of Xu Wenlan, she heard that there are many girls from Manchu families who don't even know words!
Biting her lip, she snorted and deliberately raised her head a few more points, "You won't, I'll teach you - look!" ”
As she spoke, she took off the silk handkerchief that was tucked on the right side placket, pinched it in her hand, lowered her body slightly, and bowed, "Girl Wanfu......"
After a dignified salute, she stood up, a little proud, the red silk silk on her head trembled slightly, and the white lotus flower became more and more delicate, and the action brought out a fragrant wind.
"Ahh......h
"I'm sorry, auntie, the smell of your fragrant powder is too strong, where did you buy it? It's definitely inferior, you have to find him......"
"Ah......" White Lotus screamed, took back the veil, wiped her face, raised her hand, and slapped Xu Wenlan.
