Chapter 8: This Is My Sister
"Mom, this pork belly is a little sweet, you can taste it."
At the dinner table, Xia Youzhi sandwiched a piece of pork belly for Xia's mother.
"Okay, good, young, you eat too, don't patronize your mother." Xia Mu smiled and blossomed.
"That's good."
Xia Mu took a bite and praised.
It's not greasy at all.
Xia Youzhi sandwiched another piece for Xia Qingbo, "Big brother, you can eat it too, there will be big bone broth tonight after eating." ”
Xia Youzhi felt a little sorry for his mother and eldest brother, and he didn't clip any meat and vegetables.
"Sister, what about mine?"
Xia Qinglin pouted, a little unhappy.
"Yo, sister, I see you've got three pieces for yourself." Xia Youzhi quipped.
But he still put a piece of Xia Qinglin in the bowl and put it in the bowl.
When the words fell, Xia Mu and Xia Qingbo covered their mouths and smiled.
Although they felt that eating this meat was extravagant and wasteful, it was Xia Youzhi's own money, and she could spend it however she wanted.
What's more, she is buying meat to improve the family's food, thinking about the family, and it is too late for them to be happy.
"Qingbo, you should go to school early tomorrow."
Xia's mother was in a happy mood, she had already listened to what Xia Youzhi said.
"Mom, I see."
Xia Qingbo nodded and was silent for a while, "Mom, why don't you ...... Don't apply to Kyoto University, apply to Haizhou University. ”
Xia Youzhi was stunned for a moment.
Unexpectedly, her eldest brother still did not give up this idea.
"No, Kiyoba. Going to Kyoto University is the dream of many people, this is the manifestation of our ancestors, and you can't live up to it. ”
Xia Mu looked at Xia Qingbo seriously and paused, "Is it because of the tuition problem?" ”
Xia Qingbo did not speak.
Xia Mu sighed and didn't squeak again.
"Mom, big brother, don't worry about it first, we still have time to prepare."
Xia Youzhi put down his chopsticks, "Mom, when my eldest brother goes to volunteer tomorrow, I want to follow him to the county seat." ”
Xia Youzhi was worried that Xia Qinglin had secretly changed his will, so he had to follow to rest assured.
Another is because she wants to learn about the market on the spot.
"Go, Mom will give you money then."
Xia Mu said with a smile, turning her head to look at Xia Qingbo, "Take care of your sister." ”
Xia Qingbo nodded.
My sister has been bored at home for three months, so it's good to take her out for a walk.
"Mom, no. I still have some private money myself. Xia Youzhi waved his hand, "If you don't have any money, I'll ask you again." ”
Xia Mu nodded and didn't say anything more.
"I'm going too, I'm going too." Xia Qinglin made a fuss.
Some are unhappy that they are being ignored.
"Qinglin, my sister will go to the county seat with my eldest brother tomorrow to run errands, you take care of your family, if the big fat and the big cow come to beat you again, you will beat you back." Xia Youzhi said coolly.
Xia Qinglin nodded when he heard this.
"Young, this fight is not good after all......
Xia's mother was a little embarrassed and wanted to correct her daughter's statement.
"Mom, people don't deceive me, I don't deceive others." Xia Youzhi interrupted lightly, "If you blindly forbear, others will only think that you are a bully, and Aunt Chunhua and Aunt Chunhua are examples." ”
For a moment the whole family fell silent.
But they all agreed in their hearts.
*
Early the next morning.
Xia Youzhi opened his sleepy eyes.
There was already a glimmer of light outside the window.
There was a knock on ...... door.
"Youzhi, are you up? Aren't you going to go to the county seat with your brother? ”
Xia Mu's voice sounded outside the door.
"Mom, I see."
Xia Youzhi endured sleepiness and propped up his body.
Xia Mu was relieved when she heard the response.
She had already told her daughter last night, and she was worried that she would oversleep.
There is only one bus from the town to the county seat, and it leaves the town at eight o'clock.
From Niujiao Village to the town, you have to walk for more than two hours on the mountain road.
After Xia Youzhi washed up, he took the steamed buns prepared by Xia's mother and followed Xia Qingbo out of the door.
As soon as Xia Youzhi walked to the entrance of the village, he saw a tall figure walking out of the somewhat dim alley next to him.
Xia Youzhi was taken aback.
On closer inspection, isn't that exactly what this is...... Gu Tingshen?!
"Uncle Gu."
Xia Qingbo was also slightly surprised and said hello.
Gu Tingshen didn't have a trace of expression on his rough face, and nodded briefly towards the two.
"Uncle Gu, are you going back to the city?" Xia Qingbo asked softly.
Gu Tingshen is less than ten years older than him, but according to his seniority, he still has to take care of Gu Tingshen's uncle.
"Hmm."
Gu Tingshen responded simply.
The little girl next to Xia Qingbo was wearing a water-red dress, as tender as a flower.
At the moment, he was looking at him blankly, looking like he hadn't slept enough.
"Uncle Gu, this is my sister."
Xia Qingbo noticed that his sister had been staring at Gu Tingshen, so he introduced it a little awkwardly.
Gu Tingshen nodded, "I know, let's go." ”
After speaking, Gu Tingshen walked forward.
Xia Qingbo's face was clouded.
These two people know each other?
"Brother, let's go."
Xia Youzhi looked at his eldest brother helplessly, and explained helplessly, "Last time, I went with Qinglin to take care of ...... Uncle Gu's house, cut bamboo. ”
called Uncle Gu Tingshen, Xia Youzhi is really a little difficult to speak, and her husband has become an uncle.
Xia Qingbo understood, so he hurriedly caught up with the two.
Along the way, Xia Youzhi stared at Gu Tingshen's right arm.
The gaze was strong, and Gu Tingshen was difficult to ignore.
"I've been vaccinated against rabies." Gu Tingshen said suddenly.
Xia Qingbo looked at him with a puzzled expression.
Gu Tingshen ignored it and continued to hurry.
Xia Youzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Gu Tingshen has a strange temper, and she is really afraid that he will not get vaccinated.
took out a steamed bun from the sack and handed it to his eldest brother, walked two steps quickly, and caught up with Gu Tingshen, who was walking in front.
"Here you go."
Xia Youzhi really couldn't call Uncle Kou, so he could only omit the title directly.
Gu Ting glanced at Xia Youzhi and didn't take the steamed bun.
"Youzhi, Uncle Gu doesn't have the habit of eating breakfast, you just keep it for yourself."
Xia Qingbo embarrassed and forcibly explained in the back, hoping that his sister would have a step down.
Gu Tingshen has been a little wild and uninhibited since he was a child, and he doesn't care about people.
Sometimes he treats people a little arrogantly, and he is a little worried about Uncle Gu.
However, he was grateful to Uncle Gu in his heart.
This time, Father Xia and he were able to go to the construction site to work, all thanks to Uncle Gu.
"Take it."
Xia Youzhi directly stuffed the steamed bun into Gu Tingshen's hand.
How can you skip breakfast?
No wonder in his previous life, he often had stomach pains.
rushed to him to help her collect the body at the end, and she couldn't watch him suffer.
Xia Qingbo watched his sister's movements with a shocked expression, a little worried that Gu Tingshen would throw away the steamed buns directly.
When he was a child, he had seen Gu Tingshen beat people.
At that time, someone from the Gu family came to the door to ask for debts, and Gu Tingshen beat people to the point of blood, and directly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
That ruthlessness, he still can't forget.
Gu Ting was stunned for a moment, looked at the steamed bun in his hand, and then glanced at the stubborn girl, and finally accepted it.
In Xia Qingbo's incredulous eyes, he finished eating in three or two.
Xia Youzhi was very satisfied, and he was in a happy mood along the way.
Xia Qingbo looked at the two people walking side by side in the morning light, and unexpectedly had the idea that these two people were very compatible.
A playful, cute and wise girl and a taciturn but wild man.
Xia Qingbo was frightened by the thoughts in his heart, and quickly shook his head.
What do you think?
How is this possible.
My sister is only 17 years old, and Uncle Gu is so old.
Besides, Uncle Gu is such a ruthless person, how can he be as compatible as his sister?
In Xia Qingbo's cranky thoughts, the three of them finally walked to the town.
At this time, the waiting place was already full of people.
In this era, there is no such thing as entering the station to buy tickets, and people who go to the county seat are waiting for the bus here at the town government.
Xia Youzhi was out of breath.
It was her first time in town.
The bus hadn't arrived yet, but her legs were shaking.
"Sit."
Gu Ting pointed to the luggage he had placed on the ground.
Xia Youzhi was not polite.
She just wanted to find a place to sit right now.
Xia Qingbo felt that the strange feeling in his heart had sprung up again.
How did he feel that Uncle Gu had become warm-hearted?!
"Qingbo."
Not far away, there was an excited voice.
Xia Youzhi looked to the side.
In the crowd, a male classmate wearing a white shirt and combing his figure-eight hair walked towards them with a black backpack.
"Far East."
Xia Qingbo was also a little excited when he saw his classmates.
"I thought you wouldn't be able to catch the car, I've been looking for you just now."
Qin Yuandong happily slapped Xia Qingbo's chest, "I've heard that your kid has gone to Kyoto University properly." ”
"Where did you get the news, don't talk nonsense, it's still undecided."
Xia Qingbo denied it again and again, but his clear eyes showed a hint of brilliance.
"You have such a high score, there must be no problem." Qin Yuandong said with a smile, "When the time comes, don't forget Gou Fugui." ”
Xia Youzhi sat quietly next to him and listened to the jokes of the two without interjecting.
The two chatted for a while, Qin Yuandong looked at Xia Youzhi next to Xia Qingbo, and asked jokingly, "Who is this, girlfriend?" ”
"Don't talk nonsense, this is my sister."
Xia Qingbo sank his face and looked serious.
He didn't like people making fun of his sister.
"Ah, your sister? I've seen your sister, but she hasn't been so pretty, and her eyes are still on the top of her head. ”
Qin Yuandong seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, and smiled wryly.
In the past, he followed Xia Qingbo to send food to his sister.
His sister looked arrogant and too little, and later heard that she was going to study in the city.
Alas.
It's hard to put into words.
"Hello, classmate. My brother is just one of my sisters, a sister who is like a fake one, you can remember me in the future. ”
Xia Youzhi smiled and didn't explain too much.
After all, she doesn't want her family affairs to become someone else's talking point.
Xia Qingbo on the side nodded.
Qin Yuandong smiled and said, "Okay, sister, you look so beautiful." ”
It has a clear temperament, and when you laugh, it is like a blooming lily.
It's much stronger than Xia Qingbo's previous sister.
"Youzhi, Far East is joking, he just has a bit of a big mouth, don't mind."
Xia Qingbo was worried that his sister would misunderstand, so he quickly explained.
"No, I think Brother Far East is right, I'm really beautiful."
Xia Youzhi winked mischievously.
It made everyone laugh.
Gu Tingshen stood aside and didn't speak.
When he heard Qin Yuandong's praise, he rarely agreed.
The little girl is indeed good-looking.
It's as tender as tofu and delicate as a flower.
