Chapter 888: Famine, Natural Disasters 45
Cheng Mingyue reluctantly agreed, but she didn't take it to heart; If it weren't for Cheng Yuandong taking her out of the wooden shed on the spot and asking her to go now, she would have forgotten about it later.
"Big brother, why are you here?" Cheng Yuanxi looked up at the two people who came over, and his dislike for Cheng Mingyue became deeper and deeper; Even if there was a little love before, now it is completely gone.
Cheng Yuanxi's three mothers and sons, Chen Daya, Cheng Mingli, and Mingyi, also looked at Cheng Yuandong.
Cheng Mingli and Mingyi got up to say hello, "Uncle, you're here, sit down here and talk." ”
Cheng Mingli pointed to the unoccupied vacant seat on the other side of Cheng Yuanxi.
"Oh, yes, good boy." Cheng Yuandong expressed his affection for the two with a smile and glanced at the third brother's expression.
Cheng Yuanxi nodded lightly, and Cheng Yuandong walked up to him and sat down, and said with an apologetic face, "Third brother, third brother and sister, I really can't stand you; My family Yueyue is not very sober-minded, and she actually came to find trouble with Mingli, it is me and your sister-in-law who can't teach our daughter. ”
"It's all gone." Cheng Yuanxi said, Chen Daya didn't speak, and she didn't even look at Cheng Mingyue.
Not to mention that the child is young, it is not that there is nothing younger than her; Her daughter is by her side, how sensible her daughter is, and if you look at Cheng Mingyue, she is a fool.
Cheng Yuandong saw that the third brother and his family were not very interested, and he knew in his heart that what his daughter said offended the people in the third room.
"Come over and apologize to your cousin."
Cheng Mingyue pursed her lips and stepped forward slowly; Under Cheng Yuandong's stern eyes, he said unwillingly: "I'm sorry." ”
"Sorry what? Sorry whom? Apologize. Cheng Yuandong spoke again.
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya's faces looked a little better, no matter what, Dafang's attitude was stable; Cheng Mingyue apologized reluctantly, when they couldn't see it? If Cheng Yuandong doesn't speak, even if they forgive on the surface, they will be estranged from the big house in private.
The human heart is biased, this is true.
Between one's own children and their own brothers, it is naturally the children who are more important; When the brothers get married and have a small family, they have a lot of helplessness and plans, their children are still young and don't know what to plan for themselves, Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya naturally favor their own children.
"Brother Auditorium, I'm sorry, cousin, I'm sorry, I shouldn't be willful."
Mingyi:.
Do you only admit that you are willful, but you don't feel that you have done something wrong?
Mingyi could think that Mingli couldn't imagine this stubble, he was always a person who didn't have much life experience, and he couldn't understand the meaning of his words.
"Cousin Yue can know her mistakes, and Confucius said: Knowing mistakes can improve greatly." Cheng Mingli said.
Mingyi supports the forehead.
Chen Daya glanced at her daughter with a false forehead amusedly, and she didn't know how she made such a funny move; The key is to let others know what she wants to say.
"Big brother, this matter is over, and the family doesn't say those kind words; It's just that, as the third uncle, there is a sentence that I have to say to Mingyue. ”
Cheng Yuandong nodded, "Although the third brother said that if Yueyue doesn't listen, her mother will clean her up when she goes back." ”
Cheng Yuanxi looked at Cheng Mingyue's expression from casual disdain, to listening to Cheng Yuandong's words, he immediately put on a serious listening look, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Mingyue girl, the Cheng family is not a Cheng family of one person, but the Cheng family of all the descendants of the Cheng family; The next time you see your brothers and sisters feeling uncomfortable, think more about the entire Cheng family. ”
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yuandong nodded again and again, didn't see Cheng Mingyue's jealous and distorted look, and said seriously: "Your third uncle is right, you should think more about the family reputation, the elders in the family, and the friendship of the same family in the future; You shouldn't find someone to vent your anger because of the momentary unhappiness in your heart. ”
Cheng Mingyue accepted them one by one, and her attitude seemed to be very good, but in fact, Mingyi's three people all saw Cheng Mingyue's duplicity.
Seeing Cheng Yuandong's father and daughter away, Chen Daya gently patted the back of the daughter next to her, "You girl, what kind of weird little actions do you do in public, fortunately, your uncle can't see your small actions." ”
"Mother, I don't like my cousin again, it's obvious how normal it is, and it's okay for my uncle to see it." Mingyi put on an indifferent posture, and Chen Daya tapped her on the head.
"You can't say these things in front of outsiders, you just have to say them in front of your mother."
Mingyi nodded seriously, and persuaded her to listen, "Got it." ”
"You kid, you're a little willful now." As soon as Chen Daya's voice fell, Cheng Yuanxi said unhappily: "What a good girl our girl is, why is she willful?" ”
Chen Daya was not angry, "Good is good, it can be said that those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and they must have been brought by Cheng Mingyue if they became willful." ”
Cheng Yuanxi: Forget it, what the lady said.
Mingyi couldn't help but laugh and fell on her brother's shoulder; Mingli straightened her and didn't forget to tidy up her slightly messy clothes.
"Sit down, the girl's family pays attention to the image." After Chen Daya reprimanded, she couldn't help laughing; The smile only lasted for a few breaths, "Speaking of which, our days of escaping all the way to the famine are not too difficult, and no one knows what the situation will be in the future." ”
Cheng Yuanxi said: "It's good for the family to be together, the soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, and they will always pass." ”
Even if you can't get by, the family will die together.
Chen Daya bowed heavily and touched her daughter's hair, no matter what, she would protect her daughter and son, these two are her lives.
While they were talking, the patriarch walked over slowly, and Cheng Yuanxi got up to greet him when he saw this.
Chen Daya's mother and son got up and shouted the patriarch.
"Mingli, take my sister back to sleep, don't run out at night." Chen Daya admonished.
The patriarch looked at the two children, and said kindly: "Mingli and Mingyi are both good children, you are blessed." ”
"They are bold, they go out and run wildly, and we fathers and mothers are worried at home; It's just that they're not sensible. Cheng Yuanxi smiled and took the patriarch to the other side, and found a corner where no one was there to talk, "Patriarch, are you coming to me now?" ”
"It's something." The patriarch stumbled, and stopped talking several times.
Cheng Yuanxi waited patiently.
After several struggles, the patriarch still spoke, "Yuanxi, the two children of your family Mingyi and Mingli are really capable, and it can be said that they are not empty-handed every time; I don't know where they caught the game, I know that it is presumptuous to ask, but several families in the tribe are poor, there is not enough food to eat, and the meat cannot be eaten, and I see that I can't hold it anymore, so I have the cheekiness to ask. ”
"They will be grateful to you if they can tell me." The patriarch blushed slightly with shame.
Cheng Yuanxi's eyes narrowed slightly, so these people thought of their slightly better home; Even, their children are really brazen.
"Patriarch, it doesn't hurt to inform them, but there is no guarantee whether they can catch game; After all, my children caught a lot, and today they didn't catch any game, so they returned empty-handed. ”
