Chapter 123: Tea Party
According to the rules, Furui Inn did not open until the second day of the Lunar New Year. Xu Xiaoxi's family didn't have any relatives to leave, so they were idle at home.
It's Wu Cuihong, who went back to Xiaoli Village early in the morning, she still has relatives and her mother's family, her family was poor in the past, and there were few relatives to come and go.
As the saying goes, if a person is poor and breaks off his six relatives, he goes to his relatives with a shy face, and there is nothing that can be handled, even if he goes, he will be looked down upon.
But this year is different, they have money.
Other people's homes can not go, but their mother's house must be returned.
Not to mention that her mother is still alive, and in the past, her mother's family posted a lot of things for her, so she quarreled every day for this brother and sister-in-law, and then she didn't go, and would rather her family die of poverty and starvation than accept her mother's relief, so it stopped.
Wu Cuihong counted the money in her hand, bought more than ten catties of pork, wrapped her home-made dim sum cakes, bought a set of spring clothes for each member of her family, hired an ox cart, and a family of three went to her mother's house with large bags and small bags.
Originally, Xu Xiaoxi asked him to use his own carriage, but Wu Cuihong was useless.
They are not big families, and they can't use horse-drawn carts, just hire an ox cart.
If she really went back in a carriage, even if others looked at the scenery, she felt weak in her own heart, and it would be enough to save face if she went back with these things.
Seeing that she insisted, Xu Xiaoxi didn't say anything more.
Originally, on the first day of junior high school, she was going to give a holiday to several people in the family, but they didn't have any relatives to leave, and the family's belongings were all in the Lin family.
But it was the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Xiaoxi didn't let them work, and the yard wouldn't be dirty if it wasn't cleaned for a day.
She roasted some pumpkin seeds ahead of time and held a tea party at home.
Mrs. Wu didn't have any relatives, she chatted with them at the Lin family, the smile on her face was extraordinarily cheerful, it was rare that the weather was good, Yunxi was able to get out of bed and take two steps, and she also participated in this unique tea party.
After being cold for several years, she suddenly noticed the word lively.
originally thought that these two words had nothing to do with her in this life, but today she seems to have tasted it unexpectedly.
The time for laughing always flies very quickly, Xu Xiaoxi looked at the hour, and was ready to cook until noon.
There was nothing to do in the morning, everyone ate late, and no one ate lunch early.
Mrs. Wu and Gao Yunxi sat close to each other, and when she saw that she didn't speak, she kept pursing her lips and smiling, so she took the initiative to ask, "Miss Yunxi, where are you?" ”
Hearing this, Gao Yunxi paused slightly, and then said, "I'm from the capital." ”
Through Xiaocao, she knew that Mrs. Wu was a helpless old man, her son was conscripted to serve as a soldier, and he broke his waist in a fall this year, and he was kindly raised at home by Xu Xiaoxi.
Knowing that the family was kind-hearted, there were some superfluous things, and Gao Yunxi did not hide them.
Mrs. Wu asked again, "Oh, from the capital, how old are you this year?" Can there be a match? ”
Hearing this, the corners of Xu Xiaoxi's mouth couldn't help but hook up a small arc.
Seeing Mrs. Wu asking so carefully, Gao Yunxi's expression was a little stiff, and then he said, "I'm twenty-six years old, and I haven't been married yet." ”
Are they all twenty-six?
Mrs. Wu looked surprised, because Gao Yunxi looked good-looking, and others guessed that she was eighteen or nineteen years old, but she really didn't expect her to be so old.
Especially when twenty-six is not yet married, it is even more surprising.
Mrs. Wu exclaimed, "It's this age, aren't you in a hurry......"
The words fell, and the atmosphere was obviously stagnant.
Xiaocao hurriedly said, "Mrs. Wu, Sister Yunxi, like Mrs., is a person who does big things, whether she is married or not, how can the outside world be important?" ”
"Sister Yunxi is chivalrous and courageous, more powerful than some men, why bother to find a man to trap herself?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Wu was speechless.
In her cognition, women are to get married and have children, and she has hardly seen anyone who is almost thirty years old and has not yet married.
And if a woman doesn't have a biological child, what else can she do?
Su Hong saw that Xiaocao choked Mrs. Wu like this, so she raised her hand and patted Xiaocao.
Xiaocao was eating melon seeds, and was slapped by her mother, almost swallowing the melon seeds with her shell.
finally spit it out, Xiaocao looked at Su Hong with a resentful expression, "Mother, what are you doing?" ”
Su Hong glared at her, "Look at you, you don't have a proper shape in your work, and you can slip away when you talk crookedly." ”
Xiaocao had an aggrieved look, "I didn't ...... I'm telling the truth, I still want to find Miss Yunxi to teach me kung fu, so that I won't be afraid of others bullying me in the future. ”
"You still say!!" Su Hong raised her hand to fight again, but was dodged by Xiaocao.
Xiaocao saw that she didn't want to let go of herself, so she said, "Mother, don't believe it, ask Madame, I didn't talk nonsense, what I said was the truth." ”
As soon as she heard this, Su Hong became even more annoyed, grabbed a broom, and was about to hit Xiaocao, "You still dare to mention Mrs., you have fat guts, you see that I can't kill you!" ”
Seeing that the joke was really about to become a farce, Xu Xiaoxi stopped her, "Auntie, what Xiaocao said makes sense, don't fight." ”
Gao Yunxi also said, "Xiaocao is right, women are not without hands and feet, marriage is not the only way out for women, women can also do what they want." ”
Xiaocao saw that the two of them were talking for herself, and she was instantly proud, "Mother, look... Miss Yunxi and Mrs. Yunxi both said that I was right. ”
Su Hong glanced at her daughter and said angrily, "Yes, what's right?" Miss Yunxi and Mrs. Yunxi are both people with real skills, what about you? Ringing a mouthpiece, what qualifications do you have to compare with others? ”
Xiaocao said solemnly, "I'll learn!" Although I don't know what I should learn now, I see what I learn, and in short, I don't have to be pressured by my skills. ”
Su Hong snorted, "That's what you said, as if you are smart." ”
When the words fell, Xiaocao, who was originally sharp-toothed, suddenly stopped talking, stared at Su Hong deadly, her eyes were red, and then she suddenly stood up and ran away directly.
Su Hong shouted behind her, "Where are you going?" Madame is here, you are so unruly, your skin is itchy and you don't need to clean up, right? ”
When these words fell, the atmosphere became awkward.
When Su Hong looked back at Xu Xiaoxi, her eyes were a little guilty, feeling that she had not taught her daughter well.
They are subordinates, how dare they sprinkle in front of their masters?
Xu Xiaoxi saw through Su Hong's thoughts, and said, "Auntie, Xiaocao is young, besides, she hasn't done anything wrong, she has something to say." ”
Su Hong suddenly stood up, lowered her head, was respectful, and said in a low voice, "Xiaocao should be taught a lesson, don't be angry, Madame, I'll go find her." ”
With that, Su Hong bowed and left, and the tea party broke up unhappily.
Xu Xiaoxi looked puzzled, she wasn't angry, and why was she angry?
Xu Xiaoxi actually wanted to call Su Hong back, but Gao Yunxi glanced at her.
In Gao Yunxi's eyes, Xu Xiaoxi saw a hint of stopping.
She thought about it, maybe the matter between mother and daughter still had to be solved by themselves.
