Chapter 64: The Domineering Cousin
yes, how is Pengxiang now?
When he woke up in the morning, Pengxiang opened his eyes and saw that Panpan was sleeping next to him, which startled him. I don't know when she came in last night, the door was obviously closed. He held his breath and tiptoed up to find his grandfather.
Pushing open the door of the grandfather's house, the quilt on the bed was neatly folded. Grandpa is gone? He muttered to himself, and hurried downstairs to find him.
There were a lot of people eating breakfast in the store, and Juanjuan and a few waiters were very busy going in and out. Seeing him, Juanjuan smiled at him and whispered with the little sisters. Peng Xiang glanced at her and hurriedly entered the kitchen, and saw that the aunt was directing what to do, so he walked out slowly. He looked outside the door again, but apart from the passing cars and the crowd of people hurrying to work, there was no trace of his grandfather at all. Grandpa must have stolen away and left himself here.
In fact, he had this premonition, but he didn't expect his grandfather to leave in such a hurry. He went upstairs, and the little nanny's words confirmed his suspicions, and he was depressed because he was homesick.
However, he is also a very sensible child who refuses to express his feelings easily. The little nanny seemed to see what was on his mind, so she whispered to him, "Don't be sad, aunt and uncle are fine, let's stay here for a few more days." ”
Peng Xiang looked at her and nodded.
Qiang Qiang hasn't woken up yet, the little nanny is cleaning up the room, Pengxiang and her are busy, the little nanny is the same age as Pengxiang, she is very quiet, very delicate, and very shy. When Pengxiang asked her questions, he always blushed, spoke quickly, and didn't dare to face him.
During the conversation, Pengxiang knew her origin, she said that her name is Chunju, her hometown is in the Yimeng Mountains, there are many brothers and sisters in the family, and she has never gone to school. Once I went to the market with my mother, and I was separated from my mother in the crowded crowd. But she was targeted by human traffickers, on the way home in a hurry, hijacked by human traffickers, I don't know how far she went, she was sold to someone as a daughter-in-law, that night, while people were not paying attention, she escaped, but she couldn't go home, she walked in no white and black, and walked to this city, she wandered in this city, suffered a lot of humiliation, and fortunately met her uncle and aunt to take her in......
As she spoke, her tears rippled, and Peng Xiang also shed tears.
Qiang Qiang woke up, the little nanny wiped away her tears to take care of him, and Pengxiang also went over to help her. But seeing that he was there, Chunju was very uncomfortable, and she was helping more and more.
He had no choice but to go back to his room. Panpan is still sleeping. Seriously, he hates his little cousin, always pestering him, always saying things he doesn't want to hear, doing things he doesn't want to do. He was afraid that his little cousin would wake up and pester him again, so he had to go downstairs.
Qiu Mei saw him and smiled and said, "Why don't you sleep more?" ”
"Where's Grandpa?" He asked knowingly.
"Your grandfather went back beforehand, and he didn't call you when he saw that you didn't wake up." Seeing her nephew's unhappy look, she hurriedly put down the live smile in her hand and asked, "What?" Isn't it good to be here with my aunt, after breakfast, my aunt will go to the amusement park with you," Qiumei coaxed him. and asked her to call Panpan up and go together.
Pengxiang went upstairs and told Panpan to get up. Panpan snorted twice and rolled over and fell asleep. He sat at the table, turned out the box of broken wind chimes from his schoolbag and looked at it, opened the box gently, in his opinion, the pieces of stained glass were like beating the center of the earth, he was stupid, and suddenly felt that the fragments gathered into a mirror, which reflected the quiet grove, the tall and lush crooked neck locust tree, and the happy birds on the tree, the small fish spitting bubbles by the stream, the sunset on the horizon, the fluttering red glow, and Wang Jie and Lixia sitting by the forest.
What are you doing? Watching the sunset, listening to the homecoming birds, the piccolo of the shepherd boy, or thinking about something else? Occasionally, the eyes of the three of them met, and they all laughed again, and in the fields, at the edge of the groves, they chased and frolicked, and the laughter echoed in the fields, and even the birds that had just arrived were scattered in shock......
"Pengxiang, Pengxiang", Pengxiang hurriedly came out of the house, and it was his aunt who called him downstairs.
He hurriedly put away the box and ran downstairs, "There are many people eating, you can help wash the dishes," the aunt told him.
He hurriedly followed his aunt into the kitchen, and Juanjuan, who was washing the dishes, asked him to rinse the washed dishes with water again, Pengxiang agreed, rolled up his sleeves and dried. The washed dishes were taken out, and at the same time, the used ones were sent down. Pengxiang looked out, why were there so many people eating, but he heard his aunt complaining, "It's been almost two hours and I won't come, so many people, it's really ......"
The big dining room was full of people, shouting and waiting for food, scolding their mothers with bad tempers, and their mouths full of swear words. Seeing that my aunt is always smiling, I am sorry for this, wait a minute, and say that there are not enough people today, so I will be more forgiving, and I will shout at the kitchen from time to time, "Hurry up, hurry up." "A few waiters were so busy that they didn't occupy their feet and were out of breath.
Some people just left, some people entered again, and those who couldn't find a seat stood next to others and waited for others to eat, and as soon as others left, those who grabbed seats grabbed seats, those who asked for food asked for food, and they also cleaned up the leftovers themselves. was so busy that Qiumei couldn't collect the money.
Pengxiang helped to clean up the dishes in the big dining room, and when he saw the fish and meat left on the plate and bowl, he asked Juanjuan where to put it?
"It's down," Juanjuan said anxiously, without looking at him. Pengxiang thought he had heard it wrong, and only when he saw Juanjuan pour a lot of vegetables into a big dirty bucket did he realize that so many pork, chickens and fish could not be eaten at home even during the New Year.
I saw an old man in a blue apron bring up two buckets full of leftovers and say that they were feeding pigs. Pengxiang thought, pigs in the city eat better than people in the countryside. Qiumei saw that Pengxiang was stunned and shouted at him, "What are you rubbing, waiting for the plate." Pengxiang glanced at his aunt, he had to pour the vegetables into the bucket, and when he left, he couldn't bear to look into the bucket.
There were fewer people eating, Juanjuan and they cleaned up the dining room, and Pengxiang went to see his aunt to settle accounts. He was a little dazzled when he saw the drawer full of money.
The aunt glanced at him, and chattered while counting the money, "Your uncle is a man with little heart and no liver, and he won't come if he's busy like this, and he made at least 800 yuan less this morning." "Maybe my grandfather didn't get in the car," Pengxiang said.
"Impossible, the car at five o'clock, it's almost eight o'clock, and I'm leaving early," Qiumei said, she didn't expect Pengxiang to be tricking her. Seeing Peng Xiang go upstairs without a sound, she understood, and couldn't help but smile, her nephew really has a lot of eyes.
Upstairs, Panpan was still lying in the quilt and couldn't get up, and when she saw Pengxiang coming in, she smiled and said, "Little brother, if you are in our school, the beautiful girls in our school will definitely be crazy about you, including me." ”
Panpan didn't want to listen to Pengxiang's words, he thought she was too boring, she loved her at a young age, and she didn't feel blushing. So, he ignored her and walked out.
Panpan was very angry, she felt very shameless and yelled at him, throwing it. The harsh sound came from upstairs, Qiu Mei was busy upstairs, Panpan was still yelling, and threw the pillow and quilt to the ground.
"My aunt, what's going on?"
"You ask him, why do I ignore people when I talk to him, what's so great, isn't it just that he has a beautiful face, he has no mood at all, like a wooden pimple, he doesn't understand anything, I don't pay attention to him anymore, let him go, let him disappear from my eyes." Panpan pointed at Pengxiang, as if he had met an enemy.
Qiu Mei couldn't persuade her baby daughter no matter how much she persuaded her. Peng Xiang looked at his little cousin blankly, I don't know why she is like this, and he didn't offend her, it's really unreasonable, he can't think about it.
When he was making trouble, Huiqin came back, and he came upstairs with a sinking face, and he was silent and obediently dressed. Huiqin gave Peng Xiang the two handbags in his hand and said with a smile: "The clothes I bought for you, do you see if they are suitable?" ”
Pengxiang took it, and Qiumei hurriedly asked him to go to the house where his grandfather lived to change it. Pengxiang entered the house, opened the handbag and saw that his uncle had bought him a lot, even underwear and socks for him, as well as sweaters and pants, a suitable jeans and gowns, a sportswear, a yellow striped velvet casual jacket lined with artificial fur, and a pair of yellow lint shoes. It's really new from top to bottom, from the inside to the outside, wearing a new clothes, the young man is really reborn, ten times more energetic, standing in front of the mirror, I feel that I don't know myself anymore.
When she was admiring herself, Panpan pushed the door in, and when she saw Pengxiang, she was startled at first, and then pouted and snorted softly.
The aunt and uncle came in, and there was a burst of admiration, and Peng Xiang's little face turned red with shame.
"It's more energetic to get a haircut after eating," Huiqin said with a smile. "Yes, how do I dress up and look good," the aunt praised him, sorted out his clothes, and said to Pengxiang when her husband went out, "Don't be like your sister, she is like this, think about it, she followed her grandmother at the age of three, and in the years when your uncle and I fled for strength, she suffered a lot of grievances, so I can't bear to say that she spoiled her, do you understand?" ”
Peng Xiang looked at his aunt and nodded. Pengxiang changed his clothes, his aunt folded him, shook his jacket, and a letter fell out of his jacket pocket. Panpan just came in, her eyes were sharp, her hands were quick, and she grabbed it in her hand and raised it, as if she was deliberately angry. Pengxiang looked at his aunt as if asking for help, Qiu Mei hurriedly said to her daughter: "Return it to your brother quickly, it's not good to peek at other people's letters." ”
"Humph! I don't give it to him, who let him bully me, don't look at me properly, none of my classmates dare to treat me like this, why should he? If it weren't for the fact that he was my brother, I would have asked my classmates to fix him, and now that I have it, let me see if his letter is a punishment for him. ”
Qiumei was about to say something, but she shouted downstairs, and she hurriedly came downstairs. Panpan was happy, she looked at Pengxiang and said, "You're okay, meet my standards, come, kiss me and I'll forgive you, otherwise you'll ......" He raised the letter in his hand.
Pengxiang knew his cousin's temper and didn't dare to provoke her, so he had to kiss her forehead forward, Panpan said that it didn't count, he had to let him kiss her face, no way, Pengxiang agreed to her. She was happy, and asked with a brother's cry, "I'm not pretty, to be honest, otherwise ......" and she raised the letter in her hand again.
"Beautiful, you are very beautiful, just like ......" Peng Xiang saw a painting on the wall 'Traveling in Space', on which there was a lively and cute little girl sitting on the spaceship, holding a telescope and smiling sweetly, and said with a smile: "You are as beautiful as the little girl in the painting, more beautiful than the painting." ”
Panpan looked at the little girl in the painting, and was very happy and useful. She returned the letter to Pengxiang, standing in front of the mirror admiring herself. Peng Xiang hurriedly took the letter and looked at it, the envelope said 'Wang Jie collected', and the address below was actually the city where the aunt was located. Pengxiang was pleasantly surprised, this was a letter from Gao Lixia to Wang Jie, she had heard Wang Jie say it, but she had never seen it. It must have been Wang Jie who said that she didn't pay attention to putting it in her pocket. What did she mean, did she know that Lixia was here and wanted me to find her, why didn't she know? Without waiting for him to think about it, he hurriedly put the letter in his pocket when he shouted downstairs for dinner.
