Chapter 21: Brother-in-law
Xia Fei arrived after half past seven.
She didn't wear a school uniform, denim shorts and a tight T-shirt. I brushed my eyelashes and put lipstick on my mouth.
It's not like it's a student, and it's not like it's going to school to make up for it.
However, she implemented her mother's theory of "girls should wear light makeup when they go out" very thoroughly.
Xia Fei entered the door with her schoolbag on her back, and when she saw that everyone was already sitting around the table, her face suddenly became a little unpleasant.
She threw her schoolbag to the sofa, and then came over and threw herself into Ding Xiaohong's arms and coquettishly: "Didn't you say that you won't order until I come." ”
As she spoke, she swept it on the table, and immediately pouted in disgust: "Who ordered this dish, why are they all vegetables, do you want to starve me to death?" ”
Xia Jin was so hungry that she dizzy, and as soon as she came to the table, she only cared about eating vegetables.
After listening to the words of this delicate little girl, I noticed that there were indeed three plates of vegetables in the five dishes on the table: shrimp broccoli, fried lotus root with snow peas, and pine nuts and corn kernels.
These are all dishes suitable for weight loss.
She glanced at Yan Muyang, whose face was as usual and calmly picks up vegetables.
Just now, Yan Muyang took the menu and went over to order dishes, and he ordered these dishes.
"I'm sorry, I ordered it." Yan Muyang felt Xia Jin's gaze, put down his chopsticks, and said apologetically.
It's just that his tone isn't very sincere.
When he ordered, of course, he followed Xia Jin's taste first.
Xia Fei heard the voice and raised her head from Ding Xiaohong's arms, only then did she see Yan Muyang's appearance clearly.
This was the first time she had seen Yan Muyang.
In the afternoon, when her mother told her that she was going to have dinner with her sister and brother-in-law in the evening, she was full of reluctance.
What kind of sister is Xia Jin?
Fat and ugly, withdrawn and withdrawn, he doesn't even have a friend. Three years ago, he committed suicide at home, which was scary and humiliating.
She didn't even want to say anything to Xia Jin.
She knew that her father had found a husband for Xia Jin to marry, and her mother had seen her once or twice and said that her brother-in-law was very handsome.
But a 27-year-old man, how handsome can he be - for 17-year-old Xia Fei, anyone over 25 years old can already be said to be an old man.
Which of the so-called friends that Dad made was not a middle-aged man with a big belly, greasy and bald?
Besides, Xia Jin's dignity, maybe there are some problems with being willing to marry her!
What kind of widowhood and domestic violence is also a loss to Xia Jin who dares to marry.
The two said that they were married, but they only went to get a certificate, and they didn't even set up a banquet.
Where can this be called marriage?
So Xia Fei is not interested in what Xia Jin's husband looks like.
But how can this person in front of him be so handsome?
Yan Muyang can basically be said to be the most handsome person Xia Fei has seen in his limited career, except for the TV screen.
Is this really Xia Jin's husband who had a car accident and woke up after being in a coma for half a year?
Xia Fei looked at Yan Muyang and couldn't take his eyes off for a while.
Xia Jin stretched out the chopsticks that touched the dish lightly and heavily, making a crisp sound.
Ding Xiaohong laughed dryly, "This kid is stupid when he sees his brother-in-law for the first time, why don't you call someone?" ”
Xia Fei, who was gently pinched by her mother, came back to her senses and called out in a complicated mood: "Sister, brother-in-law." ”
It turns out that my sister's marriage partner doesn't look old at all, and she looks so high-quality.
In the past few days, she has used the excuse of going to the school's training camp, but in fact, she has gone out to play with a few classmates.
Recently, it has been very popular to watch Korean dramas, and today they went to a classmate's house to watch Korean dramas.
The male protagonist in the TV series is handsome and single-minded, and he can fascinate these adolescent girls to scream.
They all have spring dreams in their hearts, and they want to find such a handsome boyfriend in the future.
Xia Jin is such an ugly psychopath, and her father has found such a handsome guy for her. Will you help her find a better one in the future?
Xia Fei's heart fluttered with thought, and her cheeks were slightly red.
Ding Xiaohong saw that her daughter didn't move after calling her brother-in-law, so she gently pushed Xia Fei, "And my sister." ”
Xia Fei came back to her senses, and then looked at Xia Jin.
I was stunned at first glance, Xia Jin looked like she had lost at least 20 pounds.
I'm still fat, but compared to the previous inflatable balloons, I've lost a lot of weight. People look much more energetic than before.
Capturing the hint of sarcasm in Xia Jin's eyes, Xia Fei blurted out Xia Jin's name in disbelief.
"Xia Jin?"
Very good, my sister doesn't know what to call, Xia Jin's eyes narrowed slightly.
Seeing the fat girl's family for the first time today, she still has to maintain her previous personality and not change too much, otherwise she will definitely teach the spoiled Xia Fei what politeness is.
Yan Muyang didn't seem to notice Xia Fei's formlessness, and asked a little apologetically:
"I saw that my mother-in-law had an elegant temperament and was as light as a chrysanthemum, so I couldn't help but order a few more plain vegetables. If I don't order well, I'll trouble my sister to order a few more, right? ”
was praised by him like this, where did Ding Xiaohong dare to say that she and her daughter like to eat meat the most:
"How can it be bad, every dish is very suitable for our taste. It's just that Fei Fei is still growing and has to eat some protein-rich food. ”
Xia Weilin was chatting with Yan Muyang before and was talking about Xingshang, but he was a little disappointed when Xia Fei interrupted him:
"What do you want to eat, just ask someone to add it yourself, such a big person has to lose his temper if the food is not to his taste? It's all used to being too squeamish by your mother. ”
Xia Fei was scolded, and she was unconvinced, but she was really afraid of her father, so she could only endure her anger and find someone to add vegetables.
Seeing that the combat effectiveness of friendly troops could survive to the finale in the back house, Xia Jin decided to lie down with peace of mind and only be responsible for eating.
When I met something that I thought was delicious, I used chopsticks to clip a chopstick to Yan Muyang as a commendation.
Probably because he didn't feel comfortable just now, Xia Fei didn't stop eating for a long time, and he came to block Xia Jin again.
She tilted her head, and asked Xia Jin with a smile that she thought was cute and cute, "What has my sister been busy with lately, why don't you come home to see us." ”
Her voice was crisp, and as soon as she spoke, the attention of several other people at the table was attracted, and they all looked at Xia Jin.
Xia Jin happened to be half-full, put down her chopsticks and looked at her:
"Hey, it turns out that Feifei, you don't know, Muyang was discharged from the hospital and went home for a month, and I took care of Muyang's sister together."
If you really care about your sister, why haven't I seen you to see your brother-in-law for a month?
"By the way, that's a coincidence. Muyang's sister Qiu Yue also went to the school for training, why do they have to stay, I remember that you all seem to be from Fuli High School, right? ”
Look, I'll let you go, do you think I'm a bully?
Xia Fei smiled awkwardly, "Yes, it may be a different training class, we don't need accommodation." ”
Xia Jin didn't expose her on the spot, "Yueyue is really capable, she is reviewing while taking care of her brother, and she even took the third grade exam at the end of the semester!" ”
Her voice was soft, and her tone was a little choked: "Feifei, you have to come on, my sister can't read without books, and our family depends on you." ”
Talking to a student about test results is probably a good way to end the chat quickly.
Xia Weilin is a person who wants to save face, there is already a Xia Jin in the family, and he has been counting on Xia Fei to be admitted to a good university in the college entrance examination to turn him over in front of his relatives and friends.
Sure enough, as soon as he heard Xia Jin raise his head, Xia Weilin's brows furrowed.
"It's like, look at how short your pants are, where they look like they're reading well. When I go back to school, I'll wear a school uniform! ”
Ding Xiaohong also counted on Xia Fei to fight for her, although she didn't agree with her husband's words, but she also followed his words:
"The top five grades in the class are still not enough, Fei Fei strives to be able to get to the top five in the grade after this intensive training class, Fei Fei is the best!"
Xia Fei didn't understand why the topic suddenly turned to the study she hated the most, and replied impatiently with a stinky face:
"Okay, I see, do you want to stress me so much that I can't eat when I talk about it during dinner?"
Xia Jin squinted and was watching a good show, when an extra piece of shrimp suddenly appeared in the bowl.
Looking up, Yan Muyang was slowly retracting his chopsticks.
There are high school juniors in the family, what is more worthy of everyone's concern than test scores?
It wasn't until Xia Fei didn't eat the vegetables and meat that the topic slowly changed.
Ding Xiaohong asked Xia Jin if she had any intention of going out to work, and Xia Jin said that she was following Xiao Zhijun to do takeaways.
"I'm just going to answer the phone and take notes."
Xia Weilin was very interested when he heard it, he knew Xiao Zhijun's father and knew that the Xiao family was all money rakes who could make money.
He grabbed Yan Muyang and asked again and again, and his words were full of regret that he didn't have a son.
In the end, he said in a condescending tone that Yan Muyang and they could ask him to help dredge up when they encountered difficulties.
At this time, Ding Xiaohong's face also turned green.
If you can't give birth to a boy, it's not up to the man to decide? Isn't the daughter she gave birth to also very good!
After a dinner, Xia Weilin's family of three looked a little unsightly when they went out.
The club is only about ten minutes away from Yan's house, Xia Jin and Yan Muyang said that if they want to take a walk, they can just walk back by themselves.
Xia Fei looked at the back of Xia Jin pushing the wheelchair, and felt better.
I didn't pay attention to sitting all the time during the meal just now, and her brother-in-law was actually a cripple, which was really a pity. No wonder he agreed to marry Xia Jin.
I can't stand up, how can I take it out to show off? No matter how handsome you look, it's useless.
Anyway, her future husband must be better than Xia Jin.
Ding Xiaohong was also looking at the backs of these two people and frowned.
"Lao Xia, do you feel that Xiao Jin's personality has changed a lot in this meeting?"
Xia Weilin didn't care, "It's that I look more cheerful than before." Isn't it normal for girls to change a little after they get married? ”
So he made the right decision a year ago.
The doctor also said that it was depression, and in his opinion, he just couldn't read. It's not good after this marriage.
"But—"
Ding Xiaohong wanted to say something, but Xia Weilin waved his hand impatiently and motioned for them to get into the car.
"You're starting to care about her now? Hmph, if you hadn't taken good care of me, why would I have been laughed at for more than two years. ”
"Xiao Jin's grades were the first in her grade every time when she was a child, but she didn't do it at all when she went to high school. You take a good look at Fei Fei for me this time, even if Qingbei is counted, you must be admitted to key universities! ”
"What's my business again?" Ding Xiaohong inexplicably nested the fire for a night, and couldn't hold it back at this time.
She slammed the car door shut and asked, "Isn't my stepmother good enough?" I didn't dare to say a word about her softly. ”
"Fei Fei, I've beaten them all, do you see if I have touched a single hair of Xiao Jin? In this way, you have to pick and choose, how will I live my life? ”
It's noisy again!
Xia Fei rolled her eyes and sat in the car.
Whatever, just don't talk about her grades.
