Chapter 012: The years are quiet
Xu Shuting was originally regarded as a sunny man, with a childish childishness and a kind of cunning, and the kind of temperament on his body made people not see that the Xu family should have. To be honest, Xu Er and Xu Da feel somewhat dull and depressing, and they seem to be far away from people. And Xu Shuting is easy-going, if it weren't for the extreme upbringing, I would think he was the brother next door.
This is Xu Shuting's initial impression on Dong Xiaokui. This time, the two made an appointment near the guqin platform. Dong Xiaokui took a taxi to the past, it was the moment of sunshine and warmth, Jincheng was full of flowers, Qintai Road was long, and the love of Xiangru and Wenjun in the past had gone forever, leaving only this Qintai Road like another time and space.
Get out of the car and walk a distance, it is the Qintai intersection, Dong Xiaokui stood at the Qintai intersection and looked around, and after a while, he saw Xu Shuting, wearing a beige jacket and black trousers. In fact, if he hadn't shouted "second sister-in-law" with a smile, Dong Xiaokui would never have recognized this guy at first sight.
"Yikes. You have changed a lot. Dong Xiaokui was very surprised, and her eyebrows were full of smiles. Xu Shuting's childishness and cunning are still there, but the fairness of his skin no longer exists, he has become like black charcoal, and his whole person has also lost weight, and his previously slightly long hair has been cut very short.
"Go, you schadenfreude wicked girl." Xu Shuting said, with a look of anger.
Dong Xiaokui looked at him, smiled very happily, and gloated.
Xu Shuting pursed his lips and said, "I finally know why my second brother likes you now." ”
"Why?" Dong Xiaokui asked. Secretly examined, he didn't seem to say anything constructive just now.
"You're just as unscrupulous. For me, who was unfortunate and weak, I fell into the ground. Xu Shuting burst into tears there again. provoked Dong Xiaokui to be in a good mood, and said with a smile: "Only by falling into the well can you feel the heat and coldness of the world and promote you to work hard." It's good for us to you. ”
"Yo, look at it, your tone is the same as your husband. It's really not a family that doesn't enter the door. The sister-in-law and the eldest brother also have a virtue. Suddenly hearing Xu Shuting label Xu Er as "your husband", she was a little embarrassed, lowered her head, coughed, and said, "That's not my husband." ”
"Come on, what do you have to hide from me. Sooner or later. Okay, let's get down to business, you treat me to a good meal. Xu Shuting said.
Dong Xiaokui was very suspicious and said, "You Xu Sangongzi, do you want me to invite?" ”
"Come on, your husband tricked me back, and I don't know what to say to the family. The consensus was that I should go to the military for two years. He also said that I used to be too extravagant, and I was like a child who didn't grow up. Cut me off from all my financial resources. Xu Shuting said with righteous indignation. However, Dong Xiaokui could see that he was not really angry, but an expression that cooperated with the narration. The three brothers of the Xu family, Xu Da and Xu Er, seem to be born with a lack of expression, so serious that people feel that the air is silent, but Xu San is a person with too rich expressions.
"I deeply sympathize, however, I heard about the three holes of the cunning rabbit, so I don't believe that you Xu Sangongzi has few holes." Dong Xiaokui said while wondering if there were any good places to eat around.
"Well, second sister-in-law, if you say a word, please don't please? Actually, you know that if I want to run, I can run. But I feel sorry for my second brother. Xu Shuting said suddenly.
Dong Xiaokui is also a smart person, and knows that Xu Shuting is actually sharing some responsibilities for Xu Er in the army. His so-called being deceived back by Xu Er was probably willing. Judging from the previous contacts, Xu Shuting also felt very sorry for his second brother.
She smiled slightly and said, "Okay, don't tease you, what do you want to eat?" ”
"Whatever. The guys who have trained me lately are making me have a hard time. He said he had to learn it. I'm so hungry that my chest is pressed against my back. At this moment, they seem to have other tasks to perform, and I finally have a moment to spare, and I dare not go far, just around here. My training ground is around here. Xu Shuting said.
The two found a restaurant nearby, which was antique and elegant. Xu Shuting is really the master of slaughter, ordered a large table of dishes, and devoured them.
Dong Xiaokui drank some water and asked, "Didn't you say you were in the capital before?" ”
When Xu Shuting heard this, he sighed and said, "My brother will test me." If your physical fitness is not qualified, you will throw me here in Jincheng and a few other iron buddies in the army, and train to the death. I'm better than dead, but I've been playing basketball for so many years. I actually went to the army and said that I was not physically qualified. ”
Dong Xiaokui didn't almost squirt out a mouthful of water, and teased him for a while. Xu Shuting threatened: "I am not officially in the army now, and if I run away now, I will not be considered a deserter." Second sister-in-law, you know. ”
"I don't understand." Dong Xiaokui smiled, and then said: "Playing basketball only wins and losses, if you lose, you can win back next time, and there is a chance to turn the tables; If there is a battle in the army, there is only life and death, and if it loses, it is death, and there is no chance of reversal. Naturally, he did this for your own good. ”
When Xu Shuting heard this, he paused, then chuckled lightly and said, "My second brother, do things, even if it's for your good, he won't say anything." Even if you misunderstand him, he doesn't defend it. It is not easy to give promises. No wonder you'll like him and he'll like you. You are the one who understands him and the one who can talk to him. ”
Dong Xiaokui heard Xu Shuting say this, and suddenly felt that a long time ago, Xu Er also said, "Because, there are very few people who can talk to me, you, one of them."
She smiled indifferently, thinking of Xu Erlai, she always felt that it was a moonlit and breezy morning, and he was like a flower blooming in the morning breeze, cold and distressing. She sighed softly and said, "He's always distressing." There are some things, if you can, I can't wait to do it for him. ”
"Hmm." Xu Shuting responded, and talked about Xu Er's childhood, with a strong personality, stubbornness, and competitiveness. Grandpa said that this character was too strong, so grandpa took him with him for a few years and taught him personally, and his personality gradually converged and became more and more calm. Later, he was abroad, played for a few years, and when he came back, he became an alienated person. Even his family doesn't seem to see his joys and sorrows, they can't see what he's thinking, he rarely communicates with people, and even with those who are young, he doesn't talk and laugh, just listen quietly and occasionally express his opinions.
Later, his grandfather sent him to the army, and he trained and carried out tasks like an outlaw. My mother was very worried about this, she was originally a capable woman, but because of her second brother's life and death several times, she became a little complaining about her family's decision. For so many years, I haven't quarreled with my father, and the only time I complained about my father. Xu Shuting talked about Xu Er, speaking lightly and slowly.
Dong Xiaokui listened quietly, imagining when Xu was young. After that, he asked: "Your mother is not happy when you go to the army this time, right?" ”
"Hmm. Not too happy. I heard her say that as a member of the Xu family, she understood that it was necessary. But as a mother, she feels sorry for her children and worries about her children. Many members of the Xu family have paid their lives for peace and stability. Xu Shuting replied, the topic was a little sad.
The glory of the Xu family was paved with blood by the children of the Xu family. Such a family is actually worthy of respect and extremely intelligent. Without righteousness, it is impossible to sacrifice life and death for peace and stability. At the same time, if the Xu family does not have such a spirit, it will only be rich for three generations, and it will be a matter of time before it falls. It's just that in the glory of the Xu family, many people have suffered, including Zhong Lin.
Thinking of this, Dong Xiaokui couldn't help but bow her head and shed tears, she thought it was caused by a very spicy dry pot eel, and kept laughing and said: "This chili pepper is so authentic, so spicy that my tears come out." ”
"Dong Xiaokui, my second brother is the most bitter person, you have to treat him well. If he's selfish, I'll allow it. Xu Shuting said, then patted his stomach, let out a satisfied "hmm", and said, "It's so good to eat, hehe, thank you second sister-in-law." ”
"Alright. Don't call me my second sister-in-law. Sounds weird. Dong Xiaokui said. She was still not used to it, at least not in the right name.
"My second brother wasn't that serious. This time, he finally expressed what he wanted. This is very welcome. You'll be with him sooner or later. The two walked out, and the sun was warm outside.
Dong Xiaokui laughed dryly and said, "It's not that you don't know me and the situation." Let's talk about that. ”
Xu Shuting looked at his watch and said, "I have to go back." ”
Dong Xiaokui nodded, watching Xu Shuting trot up, his steps were brisk, and he had a youthful vitality. Suddenly, he ran a distance, and then, turning around, said: "Second sister-in-law, there is a famous saying: all difficulties are paper tigers. Remember, ha. ”
Dong Xiaokui couldn't help but smile and waved goodbye to him. Secretly thought: Xu Shuting's words may not be just a word of encouragement.
At this moment, she felt very relaxed. Looking up at the sky, the green shade leaks fine sunlight, and you can also see the clear blue sky at the edge of the shade, and the wind shuttles through the city, gentle and slightly cool.
Dong Xiaokui feels that the future is unfolding in a strange way. Happiness should be just around the corner. She ran up, then jumped on the bus, sat by the window, and somehow, after talking to Xu Shuting, she felt a lot more relaxed.
She came home, hummed a song and cleaned the house, stuffed her favorite food in the fridge, and watered the cactus in the window. Monkeys basking in the sun by the window. There was birdsong outside the window.
The years are quiet, and the present world is stable. If the person you love is around, that's the best. She cleaned up the house, nestled on the couch and listened to music, thinking silly.
But at this moment, the doorbell rang. At this time, who will visit? Generally speaking, people who come to visit will call first. Only a guy like Xu Er would kill so suddenly. Although she felt that Xu Er had been busy recently and was unlikely to do such a thing, she still had some expectations in her heart. Therefore, she didn't care about wearing shoes, so she ran out to open the door, and it was not Xu Er standing outside the door, but the young lady Xiu who had broken into Ning Yuan with a white cat, wearing a cheongsam with broken flowers, slightly curly hair, and bright eyes, seeing Dong Xiaokui, a shallow smile appeared on her face.
There are so many demon moths. What is this woman doing here? Dong Xiaokui was patient, smiled slightly, and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”......
