Chapter 65: Aunt Fang's Thoughts
When a few people arrived at Cheng's house, everyone was very happy to see Cheng Xi come back, but when they saw Cheng Fang behind Cheng Xi, Cheng Ergui and the Wu family both changed their faces.
Wu Shi directly sarcastically said, "Why did this official's wife deign to come to our poor farmer's house?" We don't have much to entertain. ”
Cheng Fang blushed slightly embarrassed by Wu's sarcasm, Cheng Xi thought that Wu was angry, and hurriedly came out to play a round, "Aunt Wu, it was Aunt Lafang who came with me." ”
Wu glared at Cheng Xi, hating that iron is not steel, "How do you think you were sent to the Xu family?" This is thanks to your good cousin, who told the Xu family all the characters of your birthday, otherwise she would not have insisted on marrying you to Chongxi. ”
Cheng Fang stepped forward with a red face and said very ashamedly, "I'm really sorry, I didn't have the intention, I heard Xianggong and mother-in-law inquire about the birth date, but I didn't know that they had such an idea, so I inadvertently revealed Xi'er's birthday." ”
Cheng Xi really didn't expect this to happen, but Cheng Xi didn't have the idea of blaming Cheng Fang at all, to say that she still had to thank Cheng Fang, if it wasn't for the original Cheng Xi who was forced to marry into the Xu family to chongxi, he wouldn't have hit the coffin, without this collision, maybe he wouldn't have been able to become the current Cheng Xi.
Seeing that Aunt Wu and her father listened to her cousin Cheng Fang's explanation, they still had a dark face and didn't intend to forgive her, Cheng Xi had to stand up and continue, "This really can't be blamed on Aunt Fang, she doesn't know the truth, and Aunt Fang takes good care of me in the Xu family." ”
Cheng Ergui was soft-hearted, waved his hand, and said, "Okay, it's been so long, let's go into the house." The meaning is self-evident, probably not to care.
Cheng Fang also breathed a sigh of relief, regained her gentle smile, and followed into the courtyard.
Xu Sanlang and Cheng Fang's mother and son were beckoned into the house, while Cheng Xi carried the wooden barrel brought from the Xu family and entered the kitchen with the Wu family.
As soon as he entered the door, Wu whispered, "After going through so many things, why don't you have a heart? Then Cheng Fang said that if you don't know, you will believe it? Don't look at people's gentle and gentle appearance, who knows what kind of heart she has behind her back. ”
Cheng Xi can't tell whether what Cheng Fang said is true or false for the time being, but this Wu family cares about his heart, but Cheng Xi doesn't doubt it at all, so he responded with a smile, "An irrelevant person, it doesn't matter if you believe it or not, anyway, everything happened, didn't it?" You can rest assured, I won't let myself suffer any more, and besides, I have a purpose for calling her over, and I have something to ask her. ”
Wu looked at Cheng Xi suspiciously, and saw that Cheng Xi looked confident, so he didn't ask any more questions, and then he was curious about the wooden barrel in Cheng Xi's hand, "What are you carrying a wooden barrel for?" ”
While asking, he looked into the bucket, and he was also frightened, but it was daytime, and he saw clearly that the thing in the bucket was a loach, and he said with disgust, "What are you doing with half a bucket of this thing." ”
Cheng Xi put the bucket into the kitchen and put it away, and responded with a smile, "This is a good thing, I will make a good dish for everyone at noon." ”
Wu Shi frowned when he heard this and said, "You don't want to get food, do you?" ”
Cheng Xi nodded, "Don't dislike it first, wait until I get it out and you taste it." ”
The Wu family is not very optimistic about what delicacies and seas can be made from this thing, but he did not dismantle Cheng Xi's platform, so he just nodded casually.
Put the things away, there was still something in the Wu kitchen, and Cheng Xi went to the main house alone.
The yard mileage was burning the charcoal brazier, and when he saw Cheng Xi coming out of the kitchen, he beckoned, "Sit down in the first room, and the brazier will burn immediately." ”
Cheng Xi nodded, and went to the main hall, Cheng Chen and Xu Sanlang were talking, Cheng Ergui was listening, interjecting from time to time, getting along quite well, and it would not be as embarrassing as before.
This is also fortunate that Xu Saburo has gradually changed a lot since he went to the restaurant, and the closer people are not as taciturn as before.
And after staying with Cheng Xi for a long time, his brain has become a lot more active, knowing that if he wants to keep Cheng Xi, he must have a good relationship with Cheng Xi's relatives, so he changed his usual silence and became more talkative in front of Cheng Xide's brother and father.
Cheng Qiang squatted with Cheng Fang's daughter Niuniu and had fun, while Cheng Fang watched from the sidelines.
Cheng Xi entered the door, and went over to Cheng Fang's side and sat down, Cheng Fang raised his head and smiled at Cheng Xi, Cheng Xi accosted him casually, "Children still need to have a companion, look at how happy these two are playing together." ”
Cheng Xi kept looking at Cheng Fang with his spare eyes, and saw a trace of regret flashing on Cheng Fang's face, looked at the two children in front of him, and said, "Yes, it would be nice to have a companion." ”
Cheng Xi continued with the conversation, "Then Aunt Fang will have another one earlier." ”
Cheng Fang responded with a light smile, "You girl, can you give birth to that child if you want to?" This birth also depends on fate. ”
Cheng Xi responded, "Aunt Fang looks like she has many children and grandchildren, and she must have children." ”
Cheng Fang heard Cheng Xi's words, and showed a satisfied smile on her face, although she was happy with what Cheng Xi said, she said, "You kid, your mouth can coax people." ”
Cheng Xi smiled, and then talked about the topic, "Does my aunt live in the county town with the fourth uncle?" We also live in the county seat, and we don't go out for a walk, so we haven't met my aunt. ”
Cheng Fang thought that Cheng Xi was chatting with him casually, but he didn't care much about it, and responded casually, "Niuniu and I live in my mother's house outside the city most of the time, and we don't stay in the county, and we don't have a house in the county, so my husband rented a house outside, and it was not very convenient to live in a few households." ”
Cheng Xi said, "No wonder, I just said why can't I touch it once, Aunt Fang has been to other places, the farthest place I went to is the county seat, brother They also went to Fucheng, I really want to go to see, I heard that Fucheng is called Yuncheng, it seems that there is a Fucheng nearby, called Yuecheng, I don't know what it is, Aunt Fang has been there?" ”
Cheng Fang shook her head and said with a smile, "You, you're still a child, you still think about the wild all day long, Niuniu is still young, where can I take her around, I've been staying in the county." ”
Cheng Xi said, "Has the fourth uncle been to Cloud City and Moon City?" ”
Cheng Fang was already dizzy by Cheng Xi's messy tirades, where would there be a trace of doubt, and only opened his mouth to answer, "Of course your fourth uncle has been to Yuncheng, Xiucai took the exam in Yuncheng, and he also went to the capital to catch the exam once, and it took more than half a year to go back and forth, and I heard that he just went there to do something some time ago." ”
Cheng Xi knew in his heart, sure enough, this Xu Wenyu knew about the Zhao family, not because of Zhao Ke, but because of the news he got from Yuecheng, but why did her and Xu Sanlang's names reach the ears of the Zhao family in Yuecheng? It seems that Zhao Ke has to ask Zhao Ke about this matter.
Cheng Xi continued to pretend to be curious and asked casually, "Ah, is Yuecheng big, far away, what's so interesting?" ”
Cheng Fang shook his head, "I don't know. ”
Cheng Xi tilted his head and pretended to look at Cheng Fang innocently, but he really looked like an innocent child who was curious about everything, "Didn't the fourth uncle tell you when he came back?" ”
Cheng Fang looked at Cheng Xi's appearance and responded funny, "No, how can you tell our women about the affairs of the man's family." ”
Cheng Xi looked unwilling, "I didn't tell you anything?" ”
Looking at Cheng Xi's appearance, Cheng Fang couldn't bear to shake his head anymore, so he had to answer, "I really didn't say anything about Yuecheng, but your fourth uncle did mention it, and I met a few nobles in Yuecheng." ”
Cheng Xi was like an innocent and curious baby at this time, "Nobleman, what is a nobleman?" ”
Cheng Fang always felt that Cheng Xi at this time was a little more stupid than usual, but she couldn't say anything wrong, after all, this was the reaction she should have at her age.
Seeing that Cheng Xi was still looking at him with curiosity and unyielding expression, Cheng Fang had no choice but to continue to respond, "A noble person is a person with a very noble status. ”
Cheng Xi said with a regretful face, "It's a pity, I haven't seen what a noble person looks like, ah, by the way, is Yu Gongzi a nobleman?" ”
Cheng Fang didn't seem to want to talk to Cheng Xi about this topic anymore, so she shook her head and said, "It's not counted, by the way, are you going to plan?" When will I return to the county seat? ”
Cheng Xi responded, "I have to leave after the New Year." ”
Cheng Fang's expression paused, a trace of distress flashed between his eyebrows, and then he said worriedly, "I'm also for your good, it's better to leave early." ”
Before, Cheng Xi thought that Cheng Fang persuaded them to go back to the county seat earlier and not stay in the Xu family, and indeed thought that Cheng Fang was worried about them, but at this time, Cheng Fang deliberately persuaded them to leave the Xu family over and over again, Cheng Xi was a little skeptical that she had other reasons.
Cheng Xi said with a helpless expression, "The county restaurant is also closed, even if we go to the county seat now, we have no place to go, we still have to go to the county seat after the New Year, I know that Aunt Fang is for our good, I am afraid that the Xu family will treat us badly, and let us go back to the Xu family for another purpose, but since the Xu family has asked us, it must not be what we will do, isn't this good for us now." ”
Cheng Fang saw that it was hopeless to persuade Cheng Xi to leave, and it was a little unreasonable to persuade him to continue, so he had to respond, "It's good that you understand it yourself." ”
But there was obvious unwillingness flashing in his eyes, Cheng Xi had always paid attention to Cheng Fang's emotions, and just saw the trace of unwillingness that flashed in Cheng Fang's eyes.
Cheng Xi didn't understand why Cheng Fang was unwilling, but it was not easy to ask Cheng Fang, even if she asked, it is estimated that she would not say it, so she had to bury it in her heart.
Originally, I thought that Cheng Fang had been thinking about her all along, and she might be a good person, but at this time, thinking of Wu's words before, combined with Cheng Fang's reaction just now, Cheng Xi was a little suspicious, it seems that this Aunt Fang is not as simple as it seems, and I am afraid that she is like Xu Sanlang's fourth uncle, and she has a deep mind.
