Chapter 35: I Didn't Quarrel
The grievances of the older generation, Ji Ling, an outsider, didn't know, so she pricked up her ears curiously.
As a result, Xu Fang only said this, and there was no sound below.
When I looked over, I realized that it was Xu Fang's mother who looked at Xu Fang with a disapproving face, and Xu Fang lowered her head with embarrassment.
"Reiko, you go to Xiao Ke's bedroom, I remember that she borrowed a few novels and came back a few days ago, see if you like it." Mother Xu turned around and opened Ji Ling.
Ji Ling obediently got up and went to Ji Ke's room, the room was easy to recognize, the door was open, and the pink decoration looked like Ji Ke's house.
She casually opened the door, and her ears were pressed against the door.
There was a faint conversation between the mother and daughter of the Xu family in the living room.
"You are already a mother, you have to remember the identity of the mother, pay attention to the elderly in front of the child, what kind of education is this for the child? Let them learn from you in the future? ”
"Mom, I'm also angry for a while."
"I don't think it's a momentary anger, it's a habit that I develop on a daily basis. Over the years, you have married Ji Yong, and your favored temper has become bigger and bigger, and you don't even remember your cultivation. Mother Xu's tone was very harsh, "Xu Fang, you remember, no matter what kind of things are in the outside world, you have to calm yourself down first, you are a highly educated person, a person who has seen the world, and dealing with people who are not as good as you will only lower your identity, I have told you this truth since I was a child, and now it seems that you have returned it to me." ”
"Mom, I'm sorry."
The daughter admitted her mistake, and Mother Xu's tone softened a lot, "Xiaofang, your mother-in-law has never studied, and she doesn't know a few big characters, ignorance and superstition are inevitable, what if she doesn't like Jianhua anymore?" She said that Jianhua engraved her, and she is still alive and well after more than 20 years? On the other hand, she doesn't recognize Jianhua's grandson as her wrongdoing, but as a junior, you can't arrange the old man behind your back. ”
Xu Fang was silent.
"The child is also there, I won't say more, you can think about it yourself." Mother Xu nodded to her daughter and didn't say anything more.
Ji Ling sat down on the chair in front of the desk, it turned out to be such a grievance.
Mrs. Ji's unreasonable appearance, for her own selfishness, she didn't even recognize her grandson for more than 20 years, and she couldn't stand any daughter-in-law.
Behind him, Xu Fang pushed the door and walked in, and sat down on the edge of the bed, "What else did your grandmother say?" ”
"I also said that my hunger strike made the neighbors on the left and right envious, and gave Ji's parents face."
Xu Fang: ..... Well done hunger strike.
"My grandmother also said that I would repeat my studies, so that the neighbors on the left and right would know that our Ji family is wealthy."
Xu Fang nodded, and did it again.
"You're arguing with your milk again, and you're angry enough, right?"
Ji Ling's eyes widened: ..... She seems to have discovered the truth that Xu Fang asked her to send living expenses.
Xu Fang avoided her daughter's gaze with a weak heart, and faked a cough to hide her embarrassment, "Your grandmother is old, don't quarrel with her, after all, she is an elder." ”
Ji Ling sighed, "I didn't quarrel with her this time, I still hugged her and talked to her." ”
Xu Fang opened her mouth wide in astonishment, "Hug your milk?" ”
"Yes, I said to my grandmother, aren't the neighbors envious? Then let them be more envious and envious, and if you go out again, tell them that your granddaughter has taken the provincial liberal arts exam, and their eyes are hot. ”
Xu Fang: .... What kind of anger does a person like an old lady have to become?
For a while, I was glad that it was not me who was angry this time.
The heart that has been wronged is invisibly healed.
Xu Fang had a smile on her face, "I'll cook with your grandmother, and you can read a book in the house for a while." By the way, don't go out and walk around in the compound, you're not familiar with this place, and you'll get lost. ”
It's really going to get lost.
Ji Ling knew that Xu Fang had secretly seen her talking to Chen Jingming, and she was afraid that she was making something embarrassing, so she changed her direction and told her, but she didn't want to go out, so she nodded.
But after thinking about it, he still explained, "Chen Jingming just stopped me and returned the pen money to me." ”
Xu Fang turned his head, his eyes were deep, and there was something indescribable in his eyes.
After a moment of silence, she spoke, "Since you got the money back, you can keep it for yourself and keep it for when you go to college." ”
After explaining, Xu Fang went out.
In the kitchen, after Xu's mother saw her daughter coming out of the bedroom, she was absent-minded and asked, "Angry with Xiaoling again?" ”
Xu Fang shook his head, thought about it, and said about Chen Jingming, ".... I was worried about her coming here..."
"Who didn't like people when they were young? You are also an educated person, how can you still be so pedantic? I know how many boys in our house like Xiao Ke? Usually Xiao Ke also goes out with them, and your father and I don't care. It's good to wait until that age is over. There are some things that you stop the more they will be rebellious, and it will make things more complicated. ”
"It's like Xiaoling sending a pen and asking Chen Jingming for money, which shows that she values the former more in terms of money and the person she likes, what are you worried about?"
Xu Fang opened her mouth.
She was a little guilty about her distrust of her eldest daughter and the previous abuse.
I told my mother about this, and I was appointed to be reprimanded again.
In the end, Xu Fang didn't explain.
At noon, Father Xu came back from outside with Ji Ke.
Mother Xu came out of the kitchen, "Wangting, they called and said that they would not come back to eat at noon, so you should wash your hands and prepare for dinner." ”
Xu Wangting is Xu Fang's elder brother, Xu's mother has two children, a boy and a girl.
shouted Ji Ke again, "Tell your sister to come out for dinner." ”
Father Xu's brows furrowed, and he went to the bathroom without saying a word.
The family sat down and had a quiet meal, the wild mushrooms used by Xu's mother to stew chickens, Ji Ling knew that she was not welcomed, and quietly lowered her head to eat.
So he ignored the glances that Father Xu had looked at several times on the other side.
Xu's father knew that his granddaughter had won the provincial liberal arts championship, and he was congratulated when he went to give Ji Ke a notice.
He didn't show that he just knew, and accepted everyone's blessings with a dry smile.
When I got home, I sulked with my wife.
Mother Xu couldn't cry or laugh when she found out, the old man slapped himself in the face, and felt ashamed, but she couldn't blame others for this, she could understand it.
After dinner, Ji Ling and Ji Ke went back to the bedroom after helping to clean up the table.
The Xu family has three bedrooms and one living room, one of which is a guest room, and Xu Wangting usually comes back to live with a family of four on weekends.
Life in the city is no different from when you are in the county.
The only thing that makes Ji Ling unaccustomed is to share a bed with others, but in what environment to do something, Ji Ling has never suffered anything, just took off her coat and lay down to sleep.
Ji Ke didn't have a chance to say a few words to her.
The next day, as soon as the sky was brightened, Ji Ling was woken up by Ji Ke.
"Sister, yesterday Chen Jingming told you that I would go climbing the mountain today, right? About five o'clock, let's get up. ”
Ji Ling turned over and continued to sleep, "I didn't agree, you go with them." ”
Ji Ke was stunned, Xu Fang pushed the door and came in, "Why haven't you gotten up yet?" ”
Ji Ke was also surprised, "My sister said she wouldn't go." ”
