"The story told by my grandmother is my grandmother's story." Li Xia defended.

Li Wenlan kept blinking and looked at Xu Huan, who was laughing, "What Ah Xia said is not right, how can the story told by grandma be the story of grandma......"

"It's not grandma's story, what's that?" Li Xia blocked a sentence.

Li Wenlan looked at Xu Huan again with an aggrieved expression.

Xu Huan couldn't stop laughing, "The story that my grandmother told my uncle, my uncle thinks that it must be regarded as the story of my grandmother and my uncle." ”

"Alas! Well, my uncle is partial to Ah Xia, just like Ah Niang. Forget it, who made me older than my sister. Li Wenlan put her hands on her cheeks, looked old-fashioned, and sighed.

Xu Huan smiled for a while before continuing the story.

……………………

When Xu Huan was good enough to walk out of the Gaoyou County Government and wander around the city, Li Xia roughly pieced together the story of this grandmother and grandmother from Xu Huan's story and Mama Hong's fragmentary words today and tomorrow.

Grandma is her grandfather's third wife, her grandfather's Yuan is married to give birth to an uncle and Mrs. Xu's father, and the second wife gave birth to three daughters, and now this grandmother has never given birth to a son and a half daughter.

Before marrying my grandfather, my grandmother had already married once, and after four or five years of marriage, she couldn't give birth to a child, so she divorced, but my grandfather was looking at my grandmother's inability to have children, so he married back.

My grandmother was a few years younger than Mrs. Xu's uncle, and within a few years of marriage, my grandfather was sick.

Uncle doesn't like grandma very much, after grandpa died, uncle repeatedly wanted to force grandma to remarry, but grandma was very powerful and never fell behind.

Mama Hong likes to talk about the battles between grandma and uncle, and grandma won't give in to those relatives in the clan.

Xu Huan has never said such a thing, what he said is the interesting story that grandma likes to listen to operas, the interesting story of drinking a few glasses of old wine, and how grandma helps people, how to persuade people, and how to see it.

This grandmother, as well as the uncle in front of her, are completely different from the indifference and indifference in Li Xia's previous impression.

……………………

After Xu Huan fully recovered, he began to set off for Mingzhou.

Li Xianling and Mrs. Xu tried their best to keep it. Xu Huan's illness missed the spring, and Li Xianling and Mrs. Xu were full of nameless guilt, and they wanted to stay with Xu Huan for a while.

Guo Sheng received Li Xia's instructions, brought a jar of good daughter Hong, and asked the kitchen to prepare a few snacks for wine, and then bought a few dried vegetables such as shelled peanuts and crispy broad beans from outside, and set up a small table on the small courtyard where the two lived together, and sat and drank wine.

Xu Huan grew up with a wife who likes to drink a few glasses since he was a child, and although the amount of alcohol is not very good, he still likes to drink a few glasses.

Papaya brought a small tandoor, Xu Huan grabbed a handful of shelled peanuts, put them around the stove, talked to Guo Sheng, sipped wine, touched which peanut was hot, and peeled it to eat.

Guo Sheng also learned from him to touch hot peanuts and eat them, and they were really much more delicious.

The two of them didn't eat anything else, peeled hot peanuts and sipped a glass of wine. Guo Sheng asked, "Do you really want to go back?" ”

"Well, what's the long method here?" Xu Huan grabbed another handful of peanuts and put them around the stove.

"I think you should follow your sister and brother-in-law and live for half a year and a year, or simply live in the next spring school." Guo Sheng said bluntly.

Xu Huan was stunned, "Why do you persuade me like that?" This is my sister's house. ”

"You're still a stepson, aren't you?" Guo Sheng took a sip of wine and looked at Xu Huan and smiled.

"What are you laughing at? Isn't that true? Xu Huan also took a shallow sip of wine.

"It's true. But it's because you're a stepson that I want to persuade you to stay. Guo Sheng peeled peanuts as he spoke, "Your sister and brother-in-law are real people, and what you say in your mouth is what you have in your heart, and you can see it." ”

Xu Huan nodded, it was indeed true.

"I don't know about your sister, your brother-in-law, I treat you as my sister's own brother from the bottom of my heart." Guo Sheng looked at Xu Huan, Xu Huan nodded and continued, "Sister, too, this is my luck." ”

"Your brother-in-law is very happy to come here. In your sister's and brother-in-law's house, you must have heard of those things in the past, that old lady. ”

Xu Huan frowned slightly, snorted, looked at Guo Sheng and said in a low voice: "I haven't been able to ask, but when I talk about this, why is that old lady Zhong gone?" ”

Guo Sheng laughed, and while laughing, he whispered about the year when Li Xianling's family first arrived in Hengshan County, and Xu Huan's eyes widened when he heard it, "This is really not simple!" No wonder I was able to enter the eyes of Prince Qin, I heard about it first, and I still wondered...... It's rare, my sister and brother-in-law will be blessed in the future. ”

"Well, in the past few years, the more your brother-in-law thinks about it, the more he understands, he often drinks a little wine, and he is sad, saying that these ten or twenty days of being cut off from relatives and lonely people are all because he is too confused, even with a few children, he is pitiful, there is no elder love, and there are no many brothers and sisters to be lively together. Alas. ”

Guo Sheng sighed, Xu Huan's face showed a little depression, the wife and the clan are evil, he also has an extremely bad impression of the clan, these years, he and the wife except for the New Year to go back to worship the ancestors, the rest of the time, never interact.

When he was a child, for a while, he was particularly envious of the children in school who were related to their cousins and cousins.

"Look at it, Sixth Brother and Jiu Niangzi come to you every day, your brother-in-law said that Sixth Brother Er talks about his uncle all day long, and your sister and brother-in-law want to keep you staying, and they also have a heart of distress for the child."

Xu Huan thought of Brother Lan and Ah Xia, and his heart was full of warmth, "These two children are really good." Sister Dong is good, sensible and distressing. ”

"Well, the second one, from your point of view, you should stay, follow your brother-in-law, and learn civil affairs and economics. Your academic articles are excellent, but it is not too much to say that you know nothing about government affairs, economics, and public sentiment. If you really get into the jinshi, nine times out of ten you want to be elected as a magistrate, you don't know anything like this, and your family has no support, that's really ......"

Guo Sheng looked at Xu Huan worriedly and didn't say anything.

Xu Huan understood as soon as he heard it, "I've thought about this too...... But then I thought about it, to be a protégé of the Son of Heaven, in addition to academic articles, you also have to look at luck.

Look at my luck, the first time I took the spring test, it was good, I inexplicably pulled a little girl's belly, and I made a mistake in the spring, this luck is on the road......

Alas, to be honest with you, I think it's okay, the luck of my life has been used up eighty percent in the matter of meeting my wife, and I really don't dare to think about anything else. Occasionally, when I think of what you said, I change my mind as soon as I think about it, Jinshi doesn't know where it is, so I think about this, and I think too much! ”
