Chapter 16 Buying people's hearts
Huo Jiaojiao saw Gao Liman's unhappy face, and knew that she was disgusted that she had lived in her mother's house for a long time.
I went to look at Kou Xi's expression again, and saw that she was still like yesterday. felt a little more comfortable, and the married daughter couldn't stay in her mother's house longer. After all, the water spilled by the married daughter should be disgusted by her brother and daughter-in-law after living for a long time.
Thinking of this, Huo Jiaojiao said: "There are many things at home, we have to leave today." She looked at Huo Dagui and said, "There is a bus at two o'clock in the afternoon, and the four of us will take that bus home." ”
Huo Dagui felt sorry for his daughter: "Stay one more night, and wait for you to leave tomorrow." ”
Huo Jiaojiao shook her head: "There are a lot of days in this day, and the chickens, ducks, geese, dogs and pigs at home have to be served." Qian Dun'er's milk is not in good health, and we can't leave her family alone to serve a large number of poultry. ”
Huo Dagui saw the sincerity of what his daughter said, nodded and said to Qian Ming: "When the land is collected, you will lead their mothers and sisters to go home for two days." ”
Qian Ming responded with a smile, everyone knew that this was just politeness.
In the afternoon, Kou Xi went to the bus station with some things, and saw Huo Jiaojiao and Qian Ming sitting together talking, Qian Dun'er and Qian Duoduo were chasing me and playing.
Seeing Kou Xi walking in with something, they ran towards her one after another.
The two held Kou Xi's hand one left and one right, and Kou Xi walked up to Huo Jiaojiao. handed the things in his hand to Huo Jiaojiao: "It's a big holiday, and I didn't buy anything for the children and the elderly." Sister, you have these things!"
Huo Jiaojiao and Qian Ming stood up and pushed, Kou Xi said simply: "Eldest sister, don't be polite to me, in the final analysis, our sisters are the closest relationship." I am Qian Dun'er and Duoduo's aunt, and I should take care of you for Huo An. ”
"Good sister, sister is not polite to you. You take these things home, and give them to your dad, your grandmother, and grandpa in two days. Huo Jiaojiao was moved.
Kou Xi stiffened his face: "Sister, what are you going to do with you? I will take these things home, can I take them out?" I am buying things for you, you take them quickly." ”
She stuffed things into Huo Jiaojiao's arms, turned around and was about to leave: "There are still many things in my unit, I have to go first." He greeted Qian Ming again: "Brother-in-law, I will often take my sister home to see when I have time in the future." He touched the heads of the two children again: "My aunt bought you candy, and you won't get motion sickness when you eat candy in the car." You study hard, and come to stay with your aunt for two days after the winter vacation. ”
Looking at Kou Xi's distant back, Huo Jiaojiao returned to the bus station. I flipped through the things that Kou Xi bought and saw those things. Huo Jiaojiao and Qian Ming both gasped, they didn't expect Kou Xi to be so generous.
Huo Jiaojiao has been married for many years, and she will go back to her parents' house for one night every New Year's Day. The two children don't have pocket money, and they can't even take a piece of broom skin with them when they leave.
Li Cuilian praised Huo Jiaojiao in front of Huo Dagui, killing chickens and slaughtering fish to make them delicious. But in fact, some of the delicious things are picked out and hidden in the cupboard. When the family eats that little thing, they have to pick out the chicken legs and chicken heads first and give them to Huo Tianyi and Huo Lu.
Qian Ming didn't say anything, but Huo Jiaojiao felt ashamed. It's even more excessive to come back this time, with Huo Tianyi being ignorant, the bastard words that Gao Liman said on the table Huo Dagui didn't seem to have heard.
At this time, when she saw Kou Xi deliberately carrying Huo Dagui and Li Cuilian over on her back, she knew that she had bought these things with her own money.
"Two bottles of canned fruit, two bottles of canned meat, two boxes of tin bucket biscuits, one bottle of wine, and one box of mooncakes. There is also a bag of candy balls!" Qian Ming opened the bag of candy and distributed it to the two children: "This aunt is really good, better than those people." ”
Huo Jiaojiao looked at these things, estimated the price in her heart and sighed: "This canned fish is the most expensive, I see that the supply and marketing cooperatives sell more than six yuan a box." These two iron bucket biscuits are also seven or eight cents more expensive than the bulk ones, and this bottle of wine costs four or five yuan. ”
After calculating this, all the things cost almost twenty yuan, and Kou Xi is really generous.
"Don't say it, this person who goes to work to earn money is generous when he buys things!" Qian Ming was also a little red-eyed, and Kou Xi had such a class: "Don't keep managing other people's homes in the future." If you don't go to work, you can buy these things at home?"
"Hmph, who knows if it's my brother's money. Huo Jiaojiao said stiffly.
"Even if it's Huo An's money, if you don't buy these things for your children, what can you do?" Qian Ming counted Huo Jiaojiao: "There are some things you can't manage, it's your own business for people to live their own lives." If you want to be in charge of someone else's house, you have to think about how old you are?"
"I'm just such a brother, I don't care who cares?" Kouxi is a young daughter-in-law, who attracts bees and butterflies outside every day, in case I put a ..... on my brother" Huo Jiaojiao is not good at saying those three words, she is always afraid of bad luck.
"You care, you care....." Qian Ming sneered: "Otherwise, you can take people home, and see if people dare under your nose." ”
Qian Ming's taunt made Huo Jiaojiao angry, and she packed things rudely. Yin Yang said angrily: "What's the matter? Seeing that people are young and beautiful, they have evil hearts?"
Qian Ming was shocked and looked left and right, and found that no one was looking this way. scolded in a low voice: "To die, you can talk about anything, sooner or later, one day Lao Tzu will tear up your stinky mouth, so that you don't know what to do." ”
Huo Jiaojiao was scolded by Qian Ming twice, and she didn't dare to answer again. I was very happy in the face of Kou Xi's generosity. Being able to go home with these things, Yujuan was proud to see her. Take out the mooncakes and send them to the old lady, and then put out the canned fish and canned meat after the New Year. I don't know how much face I have!
It seems that this work still has the advantage of going to work, at least when you have money in your hands, you can think about your sister.
But the problem is that Huo Jiaojiao doesn't know if Kou Xi can keep her duty, and thinks that she still has to write a letter to Huo An. It's right to tell him what's going on here, just in case Kou Xi has any different intentions one day in the future, Huo An is also mentally prepared.
Kou Xi hasn't gotten off work yet, and there are already many talkers over there who have passed the word back.
When Gao Liman learned that Kou Xi was carrying a large bag of things to the bus station, he thought that she secretly bought a boxing gift and brought it back to her parents' house. Since it is a big bag, it is indispensable to spend ten or eight yuan.
She doesn't have anything to take back to her parents' house now, so she can't buy a box of two-yuan mooncakes and then carry five catties of eggs from home as in previous years. The sister-in-law and younger siblings in the family still don't ridicule themselves to death.
So when Kou Xi was about to get off work, Gao Liman made a fuss at home.
claimed to have seen Kou Xi go to the bus station today, and saw her take a large bag of things and send them to the car. said that he was wronged, and complained that Huo Dagui only gave his two grandsons canned food, and his son didn't eat trivial things.
Kou Xi opened the courtyard door and came in, and was called in by Li Cuilian, who was full of energy.
