On August 15, the four of them ate lunch and dinner together.

At lunchtime, Yan Xin also told Wu Xiuhong that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a rare reunion night, and the first festival that their new family members have spent together, so there is no need for their mother and daughter to go back, enjoy the moon here and spend this festival together.

Although there is no formal combination of a new family yet, it is meaningless for everyone, and the difference is just a certificate, which can also be regarded as a family, and there is no need to be so outside.

He said so, and Wu Xiuhong didn't pretend anymore, and promised to stay here today.

Of course, she still can't rest assured that the cage of chickens raised at home will be closed after the chickens are basketed, and the chicken shed will be locked, so that it will be safer.

And she can't let others know that she didn't go back at night, otherwise it will not only be weasels that steal chickens, but also thieves, and it is not necessarily just chickens that are stolen, and more valuable things in the house may also be stolen.

It's not that the folk customs here are not simple, the main thing is that there are too many people, and there will always be some people who are not simple.

If there are three or five people in a village who are not simple, the whole village will not feel safe.

It's a very helpless thing.

The many pay for the evil deeds of the few.

But real life is like this, you can't change the world, you can only adapt to the world.

Yan Xin couldn't say that there was nothing valuable over there, so he stole it, and he would only be disgusted when he said it.

I don't have money for long, and I can't have that kind of idea of why not eat minced meat.

He just told Wu Xiuhong that he could do it for him.

The two houses are separated by three or four miles, and it is not easy to go back and forth.

But he bought a new bicycle and was able to ride there.

Young people ride fast on bicycles, and it doesn't take long to go back and forth.

Bai Xiaoling listened and said with a smile: "Brother, although you have good intentions, but my chickens don't know you, you passed, they are not so obedient to the basket, and those who were originally basketed will run away, or let me go, I will step on your bicycle and go back." ”

She has a bicycle at home, and she usually pushes a bicycle to sell tofu, but it is an old bicycle, just a little better than the old bicycle that Yan Xin sold as scrap today.

She didn't like to pedal such a bicycle until she had no choice, and she felt too ashamed.

Yan Xin's newly bought bicycle looks quite beautiful, and she can accept it, so she will take the initiative to bring it up.

Wu Xiuhong glared at her, feeling that this daughter was too vain, and wanted to lecture her a few words, but the words came to her mouth and swallowed again.

- It's another thing whether a daughter is vain or not, but such a young girl, if she wants to ride a new bicycle, she has to rely on rubbing others, and she is quite a failure to be a mother.

Suddenly, I felt that I had no face to talk about people.

Yan Xin originally wanted Bai Xiaoling to run that set, but he was embarrassed to say it, after all, people are guests, and it is somewhat unreasonable to let guests do something.

Bai Xiaoling was willing to go over by herself, of course it was the best, and there was no hypocrisy, and said, "Then it's hard for you to run." ”

"What kind of hard work do you have to do in your own family?" Bai Xiaoling said with a smile.

In the afternoon, no one went down to work in the field for the big holiday.

Two elders prepare evening dishes at home.

The most important thing in the Mid-Autumn Festival is the meal at night, Yan Xin also specially brought some ingredients from Yangcheng, whether it is in the sea or in the mountains, they are all dry goods, and it also takes time to brew.

You have to kill a chicken at home - after all, in the countryside, you are particular about it, and there is no feast without chickens.

For such an important festival, if you don't kill a chicken, you always feel that something is missing.

Bai Xiaoling pestered Yan Xin to tell her how to play with her mobile phone, mainly taking pictures and recording videos.

This one is quite simple, and it is easy for a young person to get started.

Yan Xin also told her that if she wants to listen to any songs, she can go to the Internet café to download them on the computer, or she can use Bluetooth to transmit the songs from other people's mobile phones.

——In the current situation of extremely slow network speed, using Bluetooth to transfer files is the mainstream behavior of those mobile phone users.

- You have to pay an Internet fee to download songs from an Internet café, and it only takes a little time to use Bluetooth.

Yan Xin formatted the old phone, restored it to factory settings, and now there is nothing.

Some of the software I downloaded before is also gone.

What software to order, he also told Bai Xiaoling.

Bai Xiaoling took a look at the songs in Yan Xin's mobile phone, and chose some songs for him to transmit them via Bluetooth.

The first time I had a mobile phone, I was as excited as a child, and I felt amazing everywhere.

When her mother saw her like this, she felt a little sad, and felt that she was too incompetent and let her daughter suffer with her.

At the same time, there is some happiness that after finding such a family, there is no need to work so hard in the future, and there is a companion who can take care of each other when he is old, so as not to bring much burden to his daughter.

In addition, the children of this family are not like other people's children, who oppose the stepmother entering the door, but have a welcoming attitude, and even strive to promote it.

Otherwise, even if she enters the door of this house, this stepmother is not easy to be.

Especially in that case of being so strong as a child.

Yan Xin can be good to her daughter, which is the thing she feels most relieved about.

Although they are not brothers and sisters, they now seem to be no worse than other people's brothers and sisters.

I even had a thought in my mind: "How nice it would be if they could get together?" ”

Although she has the status of brother and sister, she is not related by blood, and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.

Take 10,000 steps back and say, even if the policy does not allow their half-brother and sister to get a license to get married, then she can choose not to get a license with Yan's father, and there are no problems with the policy.

For the sake of her daughter's happiness, she can make such a sacrifice.

It's not for nothing that there are only people in the countryside who only put wine without a license, and she doesn't particularly care.

I just don't know if Yan Xin has an object.

She asked Yan's father, but Yan's father didn't know, only said that her son said that he had it before, and then said that he had it.

I don't know what the two little ones think.

It is naturally best to have such an idea, and if there is no such idea to forcibly promote peace, there may be a big contradiction.

】

She didn't want to ruin the rest of her life.

The two little ones get along quite well, at least they seem to get along quite well.

They first played with their mobile phones at home for more than half an hour, and then Bai Xiaoling enthusiastically asked Yan Xin to accompany her outside to take pictures.

Yan Xin is actually a little unwilling, but it's not easy to refuse, now it's almost a family, and refusing is a bit hurtful.

It's not a real family now, and the relationship hasn't reached that point, so I can't afford to hurt it.

If you act too repulsively, maybe the whole family can't do it.

There is no choice but to agree.

Then the two of them went outside, filming all the way from the field, photographing the scenery, photographing the people, and all the way to the river.

When I arrived at the river embankment, I looked to the east of the village, saw Feng Xi's home, and suddenly remembered her, I don't know how she is doing in Jincheng now.

I want to chat with her about QQ, but Bai Xiaoling is next to her, which is a little inconvenient.

- If he has to choose, he hopes to be able to lie on his bed and chat with Elili and Feng Xi this afternoon.

There weren't many opportunities to talk to his two women at the same time, and he didn't want to waste it.

But there is no way, now if you want to accompany Bai Xiaoling, the future sister, you can only waste that opportunity.

Bai Xiaoling took a lot of photos along the way, and more than half of them were deleted.

But there are still more than a hundred left.

This momentum made Yan Xin a little worried about how long this memory card could last.

Maybe the memory card will blow up in a day or two.

There is a part of it that is photographed by the scenery, and part of it is photographed by the people.

Bai Xiaoling asked Yan Xin to take a lot of photos of her with this old mobile phone, from all angles and in various postures.

Together, there may be two or three hundred.

Of course, after the shooting, it was deleted, and in the end, there were still dozens of deleted photos.

In addition, he took more than a dozen photos of Yan Xin with his mobile phone.

Yan Xin now uses a more powerful Nokia N95 mobile phone, but he has no interest in taking pictures anymore, during which he took dozens of photos with his mobile phone, most of which were taken by Bai Xiaoling.

This is not what he wants to shoot himself, but Bai Xiaoling asked:

"Brother, your mobile phone takes pictures more clearly, you take a few more photos for me, and send them to me with Bluetooth when the time comes."

Yan Xin was a little hesitant: "But the photos taken by my mobile phone have relatively high pixels, and your mobile phone may not be able to be opened, and the effect is not much better if you open it." ”

"I can store them on my phone first, and then send these photos to my QQ space when I have the opportunity to go to the Internet café." Bai Xiaoling said.

Yan Xin was a little funny: "Then you don't have to be in such a hurry, the technology will only become more and more advanced in the future, and the mobile phone will become cheaper and cheaper. ”

Bai Xiaoling suddenly sighed faintly: "But...... But by the time I got rich, I was no longer eighteen years old, and my youth had passed. ”

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment, not knowing why this little girl had such feelings.

But thinking that youth is fleeting, I also have some feelings.

That's true.

Youth cannot be kept.

But today's high technology can retain the shadow of youth, which can also make a left evidence when recalling youth in the future, so that the memory becomes clearer.

- In his previous life, after he entered middle age, he once wanted to see what he was like when he was young, and then found that there were no photos of his youth.

I didn't even have a graduation photo, and I disappeared after the collapse of my hometown house.

It's a very depressing thing.

But there are no such regrets in this life, and by now, he has left a lot of photos, some of which were taken when he went on a trip.

There are some photos that are not suitable for more people to see, and they are all stored on the computer's hard drive, and there are several places.

In the future, I want to understand what I was like when I was young, and there are a lot of evidence.

With such a sigh, he agreed to Bai Xiaoling's request, and told her: "Feng Xi's company has a single-lens reflex camera, the kind of more than 100,000 units, which takes pictures very clearly, and there are professional photographers and professional makeup artists, if you go to work over there, you can let them help you take pictures and shoot beautifully." ”

Bai Xiaoling longed for a while, and then said: "It's not suitable to shoot too beautifully, it doesn't look like you anymore, so it's better to buy an obvious album." ”

Yan Xin also smiled: "That's true." But it's still okay to take a picture of that set, and it's also a souvenir. ”

Bai Xiaoling said: "You say that, I want to go to work over there now." ”

"Go ahead, Feng Xi is also very talkative, you are a fellow countryman, she will not embarrass you." Yan Xin said.

Then he hurriedly added: "Of course, you still need to work hard so that others will not gossip, and you have a possibility of promotion and salary increase." ”

Bai Xiaoling stuck out her tongue: "I don't dare to think about a promotion and a salary increase, being able to earn 2,000 yuan a month is already my limit, and if I take more, I am cheating others." ”

Yan Xin smiled and shook his head: "You still don't have confidence in yourself, you have to believe in yourself, you can create value." ”

Walking and shooting, and chatting, time flies quite quickly.

By the time they got home, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

Bai Xiaoling pushed out Yan Xin's newly bought bicycle today, and rode home on the bicycle - to feed the chickens, then drive them into the chicken coop, and then lock the chicken shed.

Yan Xin had time to rest at this time, returned to his bedroom, took out his mobile phone and chatted with Alili and Feng Xi, talking about what he had done today.

When chatting with Feng Xi, Bai Xiaoling was mentioned, saying that at the end of the year, Bai Xiaoling wanted to go out to work, and asked her to leave a customer service position there.

Now the four online stores under Jinxi E-commerce Company are operating very well, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, the sales are getting higher and higher, and the employees are more and more needed.

Every once in a while, I have to recruit a few employees to come in, mainly to do customer service work.

It's no problem to leave a position for Bai Xiaoling.

He also told Feng Xi that this girl wanted to go to work with him, and if Feng Xi couldn't solve her job, he could only take her to Yangcheng to work.

For such a request, Feng Xi did not hesitate at all, and immediately replied to him:

"Don't worry, I'll keep her in a job. No one can let them in, and I, the future sister-in-law, must let her in. ”

It seems that her face is quite big, which makes Yan Xin very happy, and then said to her:

"But you don't treat her as your future sister-in-law, just treat her as an ordinary employee, otherwise she will rely on your momentum to fish in the company, and even use your name to do something that damages the interests of the company, it will be bad."

In family businesses, there are a lot of things like this.

Many company bosses are reluctant to recruit relatives into the company, also because those people feel that they are relatives of the emperor and the country after being recruited, and do some messy things under the banner of the boss, making the company a miasma.

Yan Xin didn't want such a thing to happen.

It's just a half-sister, not to that extent.

Even if it's his own sister, he can't accept that kind of thing happening, and would rather give the other party some money to support the other party than introduce it into the company and make a mess of the company.

So he has to keep an eye on Feng Xi and don't give himself face.

Feng Xi: "Don't worry, I'm measured." ”

After chatting for more than half an hour, it was already dark, and Bai Xiaoling had also dealt with the affairs at home, and was calling him downstairs:

"Brother, come down to eat."

Yan Xin responded and typed a line: "I'm going to dinner, wife, we'll talk later." ”

Then he sent this line to Alili and Feng Xi respectively, and then put away his mobile phone and went to eat.

The dinner was sumptuous, with a total of 10 dishes cooked.

No one drank alcohol, but there was juice and cola.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, this time they did not eat in the kitchen, but put the table in the hall and ate a meal in the hall.

On the shrine of the hall, there is a posthumous portrait, which is Yan Dad's deceased wife and Yan Xin's deceased mother.

The portraits of Yan Xin's grandparents are not for his home, but for his uncle's house, but they don't have a good relationship with the uncle's family, and they haven't moved around in the past few years.

Qingming will go to the grave for grandparents, Zhongyuan will also burn paper, eat New Year's dinner, and put a bowl for grandparents to enjoy first.

But the portrait is only for.

Eating in such a place, Wu Xiuhong felt a little embarrassed, as if she was a third party, eating under the gaze of the main room.

And Yan's father was also a little embarrassed, feeling as if he was caught and raped.

The embarrassment of the second marriage is really hard to explain.

Even Yan Xin felt a little embarrassed.

You can only try to liven up the atmosphere when you are eating, so that they can focus on other places.

After eating, a small table was moved outside with some fruits and snacks on the table.

Two families of four sat around the table to admire the moon in the moonlight.

It was a night when the sky was clear, cloudless, and the moon was shining.

The two families sat together to admire the moon, chatting while eating, the atmosphere was quite harmonious, and it didn't look like two families, but one family.

Many years later, Yan Xin had forgotten what they were talking about at that time, but he could remember such a night, under the bright moonlight, their family of four spent a Mid-Autumn Festival together.

It was on this night that he really felt that they were one family, not two families.

It wasn't until about ten o'clock in the evening that it dispersed.

Moving the table and chairs back into the house, Yan Xin went upstairs first, and then Bai Xiaoling followed, shouting as she walked:

"Brother, wait for me."

There are three bedrooms on the second floor, one master bedroom, which is Yan Xin's room.

There are also two small bedrooms that could be used as guest rooms.

On the first floor, in addition to the bedroom where Yan's father lived, there was another bedroom, which was also used as a guest room.

Yan Xin's idea was that the room on the first floor could accommodate the mother and daughter.

I don't know if Wu Xiuhong wants to live in that room with her daughter or with his father, anyway, it's enough to live anyway.

Seeing Bai Xiaoling follow him upstairs, there were some surprises - what do you mean by following?

But it's not easy to ask in front of Wu Xiuhong.

waited until Bai Xiaoling followed him to the second floor, and then asked in a low voice, "What are you doing on the second floor?" ”

"Come and live here, there's a room here." Bai Xiaoling also said in a low voice.

"Isn't there a room on the first floor?" Yan Xin asked.

Bai Xiaoling glanced at him: "There is a room on the first floor, but don't our mother want to live there?" ”

"You two can stay in the same room." Yan Xin said.

"But what if our mom wants to live with our dad?" Bai Xiaoling asked rhetorically.

"Wouldn't it be better if you could live in a room by yourself?" Yan Xin was even more strange.

Bai Xiaoling said: "But if I live on the first floor, won't our mother be embarrassed to live with our father?" Wouldn't I be a hindrance? ”

Hearing her say this, Yan Xin also nodded:

"It's the same reason, they are all thin-skinned people, and they must be embarrassed in front of their children."

accepted Bai Xiaoling's reason, and then took her into a small bedroom: "Then you can live here." ”
