Chapter 502: Liu Fang
"Mom, I'm back......"
Xiao Zhou wore a sports vest and shorts, with a basketball under his arm, and walked into the house sweating profusely.
As soon as he entered the house, Aunt Cai told him that Sister Xiu came over with her aunt.
Xiao Monday heard that Sister Xiu was coming, and looked around, "Where?" What about Sister Xiu? β
Aunt Cai pointed upstairs, "People are in the piano room upstairs." β
Xiao Zhou listened, threw the ball into the basket in the corner of the living room, and ran upstairs in three steps and two steps.
Upstairs, Han Mingxiu was still discussing with Aunt Zhou about whether Aunt Zhou was a habitual girl, and Xiao Zhou ran in sweating.
"Sister Xiu, my aunt, you're here!" He said excitedly.
Han Mingxiu looked at his sweating clothes and sweat, and said with a smile: "This is sports, why did you sweat?" β
Xiao Zhou wiped the beads of sweat on his head casually, and said with a smile, "I went to play basketball with my classmates." β
By the way, I forgot to introduce, Comrade Xiao Zhou has already gone to college, and in December last year, he was admitted to the university with Han Mingxiu, Xiao Zhou was more competitive and was admitted to the most famous university in China - Tsinghua University, and now he is already a top student of Tsinghua University.
"Little uncle!"
When my fair lady saw Xiao Zhou, she immediately stepped away from her little feet, ran to Xiao Zhou's side like a wind, and threw herself into Xiao Zhou's arms.
Xiao Zhou picked her up, kissed her on the cheek rarely, and said, "What do you want to eat today?" Uncle Xiao has issued a bursary, and will take you to eat in a while. β
When my aunt heard this, she immediately said with a sparkling look in her eyes: "Uncle, I still want to eat Western food." β
On weekdays, as long as Miao Miao comes, Xiao Zhou will take her to a Western restaurant to eat, and she can order whatever she likes. So when I saw Xiao Zhou, my first reaction was to eat Western food.
This is all a problem that Xiao Zhou is used to.
"Okay, when my uncle goes to wash his face, he will take me to eat Western food, and I can eat whatever I want." Xiao Zhou said arrogantly.
Aunt Zhou said: "Aunt Cai knows that your sister Xiu and Miao Miao are coming over today, and the ribs and fish that I went to buy in the morning will be eaten at home at noon, or the fish will die after a long time, and it will not be fresh and delicious when it dies." β
Xiao Zhou said: "Then you eat at home, I'll take my aunt to eat Western food, otherwise our aunt will be unhappy!" β
Han Mingxiu hurriedly said: "Let's eat at home, it's noon, it's weirdly hot, I must have lost my appetite when I walk to the western restaurant, it's better to wait for the next time, what do you say?" β
Although she is only three years old, she is very sensible. I had heard my mother say that she wanted to eat at home, and when I saw my mother ask her, I replied crisply: "Let's eat meat at home." β
"Okay, you said that we are at home, and you have the final say in our family." Xiao Zhou doted on his little nose.
My aunt said, "Uncle will take me to play." β
Xiao Zhou said very well, "Okay, my uncle will take you out to buy popsicles." β
Han Mingxiu smiled: "You can just let her go down to the ground, you don't have to hold her on a hot and desolate day." β
Xiao Zhou refused to listen to her, she hadn't seen my fair baby for a week, it was too late, how could she be willing to let her go to the ground?
So, he went downstairs with his arms in his arms.
"Aunt Zhou, my aunt is about to spoil you, you and my Uncle Zhou are just spoiled, Xiao Zhou can spoil her so much now, don't spoil her as a female overlord." Han Mingxiu complained with a smile.
Although he complained, his tone was full of gratitude.
Aunt Zhou said: "What about being a female overlord? Poor and rich daughters? Girls should be spoiled, I think Brother Gao and sister-in-law Gao seem to prefer Big Double and Little Shuang, I and your Uncle Zhou originally wanted to help you take care of Miao Shuang, but you agreed to them in advance, I knew that their favorite was Big Double and Xiao Shuang instead of Miao Shuang, at the beginning, we couldn't give in to anything, and we left Miao Miao by our side if they said anything......"
Han Mingxiu said: "Actually, Uncle Gao and Aunt Gao are also very good to my aunt, but the big and small pairs are smaller than my aunt, so they take extra care of them." β
"Well, that's right! We are all three years old now, smart and clever, we don't need others to take special care of her, we can take care of ourselves, and the eldest brother and sister-in-law should take care of those two boys more. Aunt Zhou echoed.
But in my heartβ
She still thinks that she should take care of her slender more, and the girl's house, delicate and soft, should hurt more and pet more. Unlike those stinky little eggs, one by one is more skinny, and you don't have to be so used to it at all......
"By the way, Xiu'er, Yan Mo got married two days ago, and I went to the ceremony!" Aunt Zhou said suddenly.
Han Mingxiu was stunned and said, "Yan Mo? Who is Yan Mo? β
Aunt Zhou smiled: "You kid, why are you still confused at a young age, you have helped others for several years, and provided food for others for several years, why do you forget about them now?" β
"Oh, that's the writer!" Han Mingxiu suddenly realized!
Of the eight people she sponsored, the writer had the least contact with him.
In the past, every time she went to deliver something to him, the two of them rarely communicated, and the writer was a bit high-minded, always looking detached from the world, which was incompatible with Han Mingxiu's down-to-earth appearance.
Han Mingxiu could see that although he accepted Han Mingxiu's gifts and help. But in fact, he was ashamed that he had to accept the help of a small rural girl, so he didn't want to communicate with her too much.
Sometimes, he had to say something about gratitude to her for going against his will. But Han Mingxiu could clearly feel that he was a proud person in his heart, unwilling to bend his waist for five buckets of rice, nor willing to say good things to others for this bit of food and money.
The reason why he was willing to lower his arrogant head and say some words of gratitude to Han Mingxiu was really unavoidable.
Sensing his reluctance, Han Mingxiu kept his distance from him, except for having to go to him when he sent him something, he never interacted with him usually.
Among these people, he was rehabilitated relatively early. But after he was rehabilitated, he hardly had much contact with her. He just mailed her twice under his pseudonym, and then he didn't talk much about it.
Once he mailed her a copy of his newly written book, which Han Mingxiu still hasn't read (because he doesn't have time); Another time I sent Han Mingxiu a painting, which was an abstract painting painted by him himself. Han Mingxiu didn't understand what was on the painting, so he casually stuffed it into a drawer, and now he doesn't know where to get it.
Except for these two times, the two of them have no contact anymore, and they have almost broken off contact in the past few years.
If Aunt Zhou hadn't mentioned Yan Mo to her today, she would have forgotten who he was.
"Oh, how is he now? Are you okay? Han Mingxiu asked casually.
Han Mingxiu didn't care too much about the great writer's unkindness.
When she saved people, she did it out of morality, not out of reciprocation and gratitude. Although she did have a private desire to make friends with people of insight in the future, it was more to help others.
It doesn't matter if they will be grateful to themselves or not. They were glad to know that they had reciprocated her, but if they forgot about themselves later, she wouldn't take it to heart. As long as they don't take revenge, she won't bother in vain.
Give people roses, and there is a lingering fragrance in your hands!
"He, he looks like he's mixing well, but the daughter-in-law he married is not very good, he rubs his rouge and powder, and he has a big red lip, as if he has eaten a dead child, and at first glance he is not a woman who is going through life." Aunt Zhou said disgustedly.
Aunt Zhou is a person who came from the hard years, and her thinking is relatively conservative, and she is very unaccustomed to women's makeup. As soon as she thought of Yan Mo's newlywed wife dressed like that, Aunt Zhou was disgusted from the bottom of her heart.
Han Mingxiu said: "People have different visions, maybe Yan Mo likes that kind of woman with heavy makeup." β
Aunt Zhou cut off and said: "In the past, Yan Mo was proud of himself, and there was no dust under his eyes, and I thought that he was a high-minded person, and he had to marry a woman who was more than earthly. β
Han Mingxiu said with a smile: "I don't think there is anything about it, makeup is just a difference in personal concepts, some people love beauty, and they would rather be looked at with a different eye and wear makeup to dress themselves, although this kind of person is not accepted by most people and does not understand, but they are not necessarily good people, and those who are simple and generous on the surface may not be good people." β
"When you look at a person, you can't just look at her appearance, you have to have in-depth contact before you can judge her."
Aunt Zhou heard Han Mingxiu say so much, pursed her lips and smiled, and said, "You, it always makes sense, forget it, you are a college student, I can't talk about you, let's go downstairs and see Sister Cai ......"
The two went downstairs, and Aunt Cai was sitting in the living room pinching beans.
Seeing that they came down, Aunt Cai said to Han Mingxiu with a smile: "Make pork ribs and stew beans at noon, then make a mushroom roasted snail meat, and stew a yellow croaker, and shoot a plate of cucumbers, do you like to eat these dishes?" β
Han Mingxiu smiled and said: "She, as long as it's meat, there's nothing she doesn't like to eat, I'm afraid that she will become a little fat person!" β
"What are you afraid of when you're fat? Fat makes her good, fat and strong. "Aunt Zhou doesn't think it's bad to be fat, she is a person from the old era, full of old ideas, and she disagrees with the modern concept that women should stay slim, and always thinks that women are still fat.
Of course, it can't be the kind of fat person who can't breathe when he walks. is just a little fatter and stronger, so that such a woman can carry the beating. In case there is something twisted and turned, just like the sudden change between her and Lao Zhoutou a few years ago. If a strong woman experiences this kind of thing, she will definitely survive.
However, if it were that kind of soft and weak woman like Lin Daiyu, if her family suffered this kind of change, she would definitely have to be tortured to death before she could get out.
While they were talking, a young girl's voice suddenly sounded outside the door.
"Aunt Fu (Aunt Zhou), are you at home?"
Aunt Zhou listened, looked at Aunt Cai and said, "Who could this be?" β
Aunt Cai said, "It's Liu Fang." β
Aunt Zhou let out an 'oh' and got up to open the door herself.
After the door opened, Liu Fang, a neighbor who lived to the right of her house, was standing at the door of her house with a watermelon.
Seeing Aunt Zhou personally open the door for her, Liu Fang opened a sweet smile and said, "Aunt Fu, my dad just bought a watermelon in the grocery store, and asked me to send you one to quench your thirst." β
"Yo, it's Fangfang, it's hard for your dad to still think about us, come in and sit." Aunt Zhou took the watermelon and warmly welcomed the girl named Fangfang into the house.
After Fangfang came in, she immediately saw Han Mingxiu, was stunned for a moment, and said, "Aunt Fu, do you have guests at home?" β
Aunt Zhou said, "It's not a guest, it's our own family." β
Saying this, Fangfang's expression suddenly cracked a little, and the smile on her face was unnatural, she smiled stiffly and said, "Oh, then this is ......"
"This is Han Mingxiu, a friend I met with your Uncle Zhou in the north when he was devolved in the past, and now she is studying at the Foreign Chinese College, and she is still a military wife!" Aunt Zhou introduced Liu Fang in detail.
As soon as Liu Fang heard that Han Mingxiu was a military wife and a married person, the expression on her face suddenly eased, and her smile became brighter.
"Hello, Comrade Mingxiu, it's a pleasure to meet you." Liu Fang generously stretched out her hand and took the initiative to show favor to Han Mingxiu.
Han Mingxiu is from here, and as soon as she saw Liu Fang's changes before and after, she understood her thoughts.
"Hello, I'm glad to meet you too." Han Mingxiu reached out and shook her hand.
When shaking hands, Han Mingxiu also deliberately glanced at the little girl a few times, and found that this little girl was quite delicate, but not handsome, that is, an ordinary person. Each of them is not tall, and they are a little thin, and if they are paired with Xiao Zhou, they are really a little unworthy.
