Chapter 156: Retreat as Advance
Huo Xinyu's little face immediately fell, and she looked at Li Cuilian's eyes full of pleading: "I didn't do my homework well, and I didn't bother my sister-in-law." I'm so old and still sleeping on the same kang with you, my classmates should laugh at me. ”
"What's the joke? Who doesn't live like this? Do you think it's the people who live in the city who live in the building? The same goes for the people in the city, everyone who has a kang in the house sleeps on the same kang, and only those who live in the building are separated. Huo Dagui disagreed: "Look at those people outside, how many people are smaller than our family." Seven or eight people live together, and it's okay?"
"I'm so old!" Huo Xinyu pouted awkwardly.
"Then build a pigsty for you, you go to the pigsty to live!" Huo Dagui showed displeasure on his face.
"Forget it, stay with me. Kou Xi sat in front of the TV, watching the TV while knocking melon seeds, and said faintly: "The two big girls have to have a private space." You get up at four o'clock every day to work, and you go in and out to disturb their sleep. Besides, it's getting hotter and hotter, and I'm wearing less. ”
Kou Xi suddenly understood a truth at this time, people's potential is unlimited. In the past, Huo Dagui and Li Cuilian did things, simple and rude. If you can achieve the goal, you don't care whether the process is reasonable.
It's like wanting Huo Lu to take on his own work before, just ask her to let it out. Seeing that a new daughter-in-law of hers has just married here and is not familiar with life, she doesn't dare not do it. Unexpectedly, the brand-new Kou Xi directly rejected it, and ran to his cousin's house crying to complain about his grievances. The angry Wang Yazhi made a big fuss and ruthlessly lost the face of the two of them.
A series of things happened later, and Kou Xi's combination of soft and hard always caught them off guard. Slowly, they also began to use their brains, not only Gao Liman knew how to sow discord, but even Huo Dagui also learned to retreat as advance.
A sneer appeared at the corner of Kou Xi's mouth, if it weren't for the lost hundred yuan. She wouldn't have opened her mouth today, if she really found out that one of these two people was making trouble. She's going to turn things upside down and move out.
Huo Xinyu showed a look of surprise on his face, and looked at Huo Dagui proudly: "Look at it, my sister-in-law has agreed." I don't move, I just like to live with my sister-in-law. You snore so loudly at night, how can I sleep well. ”
Kou Xi carried them on his back and didn't see everyone's expressions. Li Cuilian breathed a sigh of relief, Huo Dagui's plan succeeded, Gao Liman's face was full of chagrin and Li Xiaona's face was relieved.
After eating, Huo Dagui's father and son will go out to find their own places. Li Cuilian led the two children to watch TV at home, and Gao Liman took a basket with shoe soles and crochet needles to the front yard and went to the bottom of the house to talk to a group of daughters-in-law around and hook the shoe uppers.
Kou Xi sat in the room with two little girls, and Kou Xi sat on the sofa holding a book to read. Huo Xinyu and Li Xiaona sat on both sides of the kang table, muttering quietly while writing homework.
"Hey, why doesn't your sister-in-law go out for a walk?" Li Xiaona lowered her voice and frowned: "She just stays like this?"
"En!" Huo Xinyu nodded, and also lowered her voice: "She never goes out to visit the door." ”
In the countryside in their spare time, men are not at home, and they all have their own small circle. Either it is a circle of people like Huo Lu who play poker, mahjong and gambling, or a group of old men like Huo Dagui get together to talk. The little daughters-in-law gathered under the walls of whose house to talk, and by the way complained and complained about their mother-in-law. The old ladies gathered together with their children to talk about their daughters-in-law and children, and complained in their hearts.
The husband and wife rarely communicate, and the man who circles the family all day is unproductive. Kou Xi rarely communicates with the women in the neighborhood, except for a few good colleagues, only his cousin Wang Yazhi remains.
She didn't have a suitable place to go out if she wanted to, let alone she didn't want to go out at all.
"It's okay, she never speaks!" Huo Xinyu comforted Li Xiaona.
Although Kou Xi couldn't hear what the two of them were saying, he also knew that there was something to whisper. She put down her book and got up to boil water in the kitchen, and shouted to Huo Xinyu: "Do you two drink hot water?"
"Don't drink!" the two men replied in unison.
Li Xiaona pursed her lips disdainfully: "On a hot day, what kind of hot water do you drink, you are sick." ”
Kou Xi boiled the water, took a large bath bucket and soaked it by the way. It took two hours to clean up, change into clean clothes, and sit at the desk to wipe my hair.
Li Xiaona couldn't help but ask: "Sister-in-law, Xinyu said that you have to take a shower once a week, aren't you too troublesome?"
Kou Xi stretched out his hand to turn on the TV, and the movements in his hand did not stop: "Take a bath once a month, don't you think you are dirty?"
Li Xiaona was choked up, and her face was a little unsightly. The pencil in his hand wrote the word 'pretend' in his notebook to vent his dissatisfaction.
"Heart rain!" Kou Xi said, "I still have a lot of boiling water left, so you two can wash your hair with water." If you don't wash it, soak your clothes on. ”
"En!" Huo Xinyu responded: "I didn't bury my clothes, I'll wash my hair in a while!"
"A little girl's clothes may not be much, but she must be changed and washed frequently. When the weather is hot, don't let your male classmates smell the sweat on their bodies. Kou Xi turned around: "It's not easy to wash clothes after wearing them for a long time, you look at Tianyi's clothes." Every time his mother washed his clothes, it was a basin of black water, and he had to be soaked several times before it turned into clear water. What a struggle, rubbing your hands so wrinkled. Look at my clothes, take the laundry and soak it, focus on rubbing the collar, cuffs, and armpits, and simply wash it and then go through the water. ”
"The little girl is a big plus, if you think about whose sister-in-law has this mark and that piece of gray on her neck, it is disgusting to look at. It's a holiday, and you brush your schoolbag too. Kou Xi stretched out his hand and pointed to the shoes at the door: "Look at a good pair of cross-strap shoes, they are white and clean when you buy them, so you can wear them gray." ”
Huo Xinyu didn't care about what Kou Xi said, stared at a pair of eyes and asked, "Cleaned up, is it really a plus?"
"Of course, who doesn't like the upright little girl?" Kou Xi said with a smile: "You look good in a shirt, wash it and take my iron to iron it, and iron your pants before you wear them, how good." ”
Li Xiaona said on the side: "I think girls must first look good, and then they must look good." It's useless to be clean, and there are no fashionable clothes, who looks at you!"
Kou Xi raised his head and carefully looked at the two of them. Only then did she understand why something didn't feel right.
She thought that the difference between the two children was just that Li Xiaona was beautiful, but she found that Li Xiaona was also dressed very chic.
