Chapter 58: Lessons
Qian Chuanchuan is a bastard, Lao Jiao lost his temper, but she stiffened her mouth: "You eat meat, and you don't give us a mouthful of soup, that fish is earned by helping the second brother catch fish." β
Lao Jiao was holding an itch in his hand, and with a wave of his arm, he hit it: "There is no superiority and humility!" Know who you're talking to? How do you speak? β
The money skewers were also beaten, and when she saw that Lao Jiao's was furious, she immediately became honest, but the fish were all eaten in her stomach, and Lao Jiao's could still make her vomit it?
The money strings are gluttonous, the pig's belly at home is cooking, and she didn't say it, so she was reluctant.
Qian Wencai only said that there was still a pig's belly at his aunt's house at lunch the next day, which made Lao Jiao angry and panting, before, she pinched a few small ones in the palm of her hand, and she wanted to be round, and she wanted to be flat, but now, why is it out of control?
On the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the streets of Linjin Town were much more empty than a few days ago, and the few pedestrians were also in a hurry, all busy cleaning up, but Wen Han Wenjin's fish was not difficult to sell, and some people had already told them that the price would not increase on the thirty days, and they would just want to be fresh.
There was a large group of people around the donkey cart, and Wen Jin unhurriedly collected the money and gave it to the fish. Wen Han picked up two big fish that were not boxed and greeted everyone: "I will give this fish to my aunt and uncle's family, and I will come back immediately!" After saying that, he hurried north.
"Hey, who has such a good relative." A group of fish buyers were red-eyed, and they wondered how much the two fish would cost.
The street was empty, Wen Han walked all the way with the fish, and saw more people. Especially some half-grown children are cleaning and scrubbing the door, preparing to paste the door god Spring Festival couplets, they are the most greedy, and when they get home, they will inevitably say a few words of envy to the adults Qian Wencai. At least half of the people in Linjin Town knew about the second room of the Qian family sending fish to the big house and the Yang family that day.
Wen Han couldn't forget the year before last when he sent wolf meat, and was pushed and dropped by Jiao's bowl, he stood at the door with the fish, and the black clown helped to send the fish in, he waited at the door for a while, and saw the black clown walking out empty-handed, so he turned around and left.
Qian Wencai was very happy to show the big fish to Lao Jiao's family, but saw that his grandmother's face sank instantly.
"Qian Xiancheng is getting more and more excessive, is there such a thing as him, does he only give a fish as a New Year's gift?" It's really too big to eat dates for nothing! She is used to eating her nephew, and she never thought that even if she is an elder, she will have to return the gift.
Lao Jiao tossed and turned on the kang for a long time, gritted his teeth and made up his mind, tomorrow, Qian Xiancheng is here, she must teach him a hard lesson, in the past two years, he moved to the mountain nest, and his life was better than the big house, but he didn't contribute much to this side.
The first day of the Lunar New Year, which gave Wen Jin a headache, came again, and everyone else was happy, only her smile when talking to people was very reluctant, like a toothache.
Wen Han entered the age of fifteen, and as he grew older, he became more and more sensible, he understood Wen Jin's thoughts, but when he saw his parents wearing new clothes seriously and going to the big house to pay New Year's greetings, he was very helplessββ, his father, when will he be able to stand up and not let the big house be humiliated?
The family walked into the dark lacquered door of the Qian family's big house, and Qian Xiangui pretended to go out to greet him, but he just walked out of the living room of the upper room.
"Big brother!" Qian Xiancheng smiled and shouted, and Qian Xiangui smiled and said "um" without smiling.
Wen Jin followed behind the second uncle, especially sorry for him, and also didn't understand Qian Xiancheng, what kind of person was he, in the face of such a face, he could still laugh, change to himself, even if the whole town said that she was not virtuous and unfilial, she would never associate with the Dafang family.
Following behind Qian Xiancheng, he worshiped the ancestors of the Qian family, and Qian Xiancheng took the lead and kowtowed to the old Jiao family to pay New Year's greetings.
"Don't, get up, I can't stand your gift!" Old Jiao actually stood up and left the upholstered Taishi chair.
"Aunt-" Qian Xiancheng knelt on the ground and shouted embarrassedly, his voice puzzled, but more pleading.
Wen Jin's lungs were about to explode, she stood up, Wen Han hesitated, and also stood up, and the two of them went over, wanting to help the second uncle up.
Qian Xiancheng was taken aback when he saw the two children standing here without permission, and then his face sank: "Wen Jin! Wenhan! β
"Second uncle, don't you think it's strange that you are so respectful and polite, and your uncle and grandmother still condemn it? Since the separation, in which year have you not been scolded for the New Year? Wen Jin asked angrily.
"Wen Jin, kneel!" Even Webster is in a hurry, these two buns are really not an ordinary match, Webster's progress is now only limited to carrying Lao Jiao's on his back, and he still has a little sense, and he doesn't dare to disobey in person.
Old Jiao didn't expect Wen Jin to stand up, Wen Han also stood up, she thought that the people in the second room would inevitably kneel obediently, begging to sit on the top and accept their salutes.
Qian Xiangui also saw that Wen Jin was a thorn, if he didn't shave her today, in the future, Dafang's status in the Qian family would become more and more low, he said very unhappily: "Wen Jin, the elders are angry, you don't sincerely admit your mistakes, ask for forgiveness, standing here, what kind of attitude is it?" β
"Since it is an elder, what does a junior do wrong, he should be scolded, he should be disciplined, what is not polite? β¦β¦β
Wen Jin retorted unceremoniously, and before she finished speaking, she was forced by Qian Xiancheng to ask her to kneel: "Wen Jin, the elders advise, if there is a change, then encouragement, how dare you do this?" Get down on your knees yet! β
"I've grown up so big, and my aunt has never had a correct teaching, how can I change it? Besides, she didn't say a word about it, and she almost said that the rooster could lay eggs, so should I follow with a 'see it with my own eyes?' ββ
"When did I say the rooster laid eggs?" Lao Jiao was like a cat with a tail stepping on, and wanted to jump, but unfortunately he was fat and clumsy, and Wen Jin only saw a pile of fat swaying up and down inside his clothes.
Qian Xiangui Wenjin deliberately, the stepmother is not an opponent at all, the second brother and his wife can't help but stand up, not to mention that this "kid" is eloquent, ruthless, and dares to say anything, so he can only suffer more and more, and he said perfunctorily: "Mother, mother, don't be angry with the child, isn't she still young?" Looking back, Xiancheng and I will teach you a good lesson, you sit down, and let the second family salute. β
Lao Jiao's has been arrogant in the past few years, and he hasn't been able to get off the stage so much today, so he was so angry that his chest fell together, and when he saw his stepson giving him a hard look, he was reluctantly supported by Qian Xiancheng and his wife and sat on the chair.
Qian Xiancheng hurriedly said the New Year's greetings, hurriedly kowtowed, and finally completed the ceremony.
Wei Shi was afraid that Wen Jin would explode again, so he pressed the back of her head with one hand, so that she lowered her head, which was a matter of her mind.
"Xiancheng, sit, sit!" Qian Xiangui didn't dare to put on a score, whether it was a real smile or a fake smile, he finally grinned and showed his teeth, unlike the contemptuous look that gritted his teeth just now and only moved his lips.
Qian Xiancheng's pedantry and lack of eyes also surprised Wen Jin, things are already like this, he bowed and said goodbye immediately, isn't it okay? actually sat down, could it be that at this time, did he still expect to get along with his brothers, friends, and brothers?
"Second brother, how about you taste this tea?" Qian Xiangui shows his authenticity.
Qian Xiancheng sniffed carefully, took a sip, but didn't speak, Wen Jin was angry and wanted to laugh, this is too sincere, the tea is not good, I don't have the courage to tell the truth, and I don't even want to say a word of falsehood.
Under Qian Xiangui's earnest gaze, Qian Xiancheng finally didn't hold his position, and nodded against his will: "Well, it's delicious!" β
Fortunately, Qian Xiangui was very thick-skinned, and he didn't mind his brother's expression at all, so he opened his mouth and blew: "This is a good hairy tip, you can buy a pound for one or two silver, my brother specially brought it back, please taste it." β
Lao Jiao finally adjusted his mood, only to hear her cough lightly, and interjected: "Xiancheng, look at how benevolent your brother is." β
"Ah, yes, yes!"
Wen Jin hated to fix the second uncle's head and asked him not to nod.
"Xiancheng, our brother lives far away now, I don't know how your life is?"
"It's fine!" Qian Xiancheng told the truth.
"Humph! When I think of that time, you were still angry with me and ignored my kindness. Qian Xiangui glared at his younger brother with disgust.
Qian Xiancheng was speechless, peeking at his wife, Wei lowered his head, his face was expressionless, but he was very uncomfortable in his heart, how much suffering their family had suffered, especially Wen Jin, a little child, who got up and slept in the middle of the night, she was an aunt, sometimes she couldn't look past it, and wanted the child to give up, now that life is better, Dafang actually wants to take the credit?
Where does Jiao not understand what Webster means? But she was sure that Qian Xiancheng was a fool, so she cleared her throat and interjected: "Xiancheng, your brother can't dig out his heart and liver for you, look at what you have done?" The family eats and drinks spicy food, and they don't appreciate it. β
"I didn't!" Qian Xiancheng's words are very unconfident.
"Not yet? Your brother went to the county government and wanted to get up and down, but you were stingy......"
"Pour tea!" Before Jiao's words were finished, he was stopped by Qian Xiangui.
Jiao picked up the teapot aggrievedly, symbolically added a few drops to each teacup, peeked at the man's face, and continued to mutter: "Am I wrong?" The second uncle's family is having a better time now, where do you remember your goodness? Years ago, my brother-in-law's family ate fish every day, and my second brother didn't give you a few, so it doesn't matter if our family eats or not, but your colleagues in the county government are not allowed to socialize? β
Qian Xiangui shifted his gaze to his younger brother's face, with reproach and dissatisfaction in his eyes, as well as ardent hope.
Qian Xiancheng couldn't stand such a gaze, and said with an embarrassed face: "Big brother, if you want fish, just go and catch it." β
"Second uncle, you are too stingy, we should take it and send it to the town, otherwise, when the uncle comes to our house, do you want to bring a gift?" The family remembered that in the summer, Wen Jin taught Liangxi to satirize Qian Xiangui's limerick poem, and his face became strange, Qian Xiancheng and his wife were still a little ashamed in their apologies, but Wen Han couldn't hold back his laughter.
