Chapter Forty-Eight: Blessings

By the time the group walked back home, I had already sobered up a lot. But as soon as I entered the door, my aunt asked Yaoyao to take me to her brother's room to rest.

I quickly excused myself and told my aunt that I was fine, and that although I had drunk a lot of alcohol, I would really feel better. The main thing is that there are so many guests here, and it is too unreasonable for me to run to sleep.

Seeing that I insisted, and that this would indeed be a lot better, my aunt stopped forcing me and turned to greet the guests.

The rare reunion of relatives is naturally a variety of entertainment items, playing cards, playing mahjong.

My aunt also asked me to play cards with the guests, but unfortunately I didn't know anything. As a Sichuan person, people don't know how to play cards and rub mahjong, so I have to thank my mother.

Because my father came back every year, he was always on the farm, so he inevitably had to learn poker skills with his uncles in the village.

And my mother simply hated this, although everyone was just to kill time, and there was not much to win or lose.

But it was too much of a delay, and often my mother cooked the meal, and sent us to shout for a long time but failed to call my father home at the card table for dinner.

Therefore, since childhood, my mother has strictly forbidden to contact any form of gambling tools, including mahjong, because there are too many stories of playing mahjong and being trapped in it.

It is because of my mother's way of blocking my contact with these gambling tools at the root that I don't know anything now.

After everyone is settled, only Yaoyao and I have nothing to do, and my aunt can only tell Yaoyao to take me and Tingting out to play, and come back before dinner.

Naturally, we readily agreed, and it was rare for my aunt to get rid of this small oil bottle, so she naturally agreed happily. I probably explained some of Tingting's habits to us, and then handed her over to me.

Yaoyao went out with Tingting in her arms, Don't look at the little guy who is only more than two years old, but it's not easy to hold it all the time.

I wanted to give her a hug, but the little guy recognized life and didn't do it. I tried a few times but couldn't gain her trust, and I had no choice but to let her hold it all the time.

When I passed by the small supermarket downstairs, I had an idea and ran to buy a lollipop to hold in my hand. Tingting saw me walking towards her with a lollipop, and before I could get closer, she pounced on me.

As a result, with the help of a lollipop, I formed a deep friendship with Tingting. The little guy stuck to me all afternoon, causing Yaoyao to scold her for being ungrateful.

When Tingting was tired of playing and fell asleep on top of me, we hugged her and walked back, and when we got home, the table was already full of dishes.

Because the people who stayed for dinner were all close relatives, the atmosphere of dinner was even more lively than at noon. Naturally, everyone once again sent more sincere blessings to me and Yaoyao.

After dinner, my aunt and aunt took Yaoyao and them out for a walk, while I stayed at home to chat with my uncle.

My uncle beckoned us to sit next to the coffee table and then made a cup of tea for each of us. Only then did he come down next to me, patted me on the shoulder, and asked me with concern: "Xiaoyuan, after drinking so much wine, are you okay?" ”

"It's okay uncle, I'm fine."

"Well, the young man drank so much that he almost got me drunk."

"Xiaoyuan's amount of alcohol is very good, I drank so much at noon, and I drank almost half a catty of wine at night, and my face was not red." The little uncle also accosted at this time.

At this time, I have already thanked Wu Kai eight hundred times in my heart, if it weren't for him, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to pass this level today.

"Brother-in-law, I'm afraid you can't drink Xiaoyuan, now it's okay, someone will drink with you in the future." Uncle also lost no time in expressing his opinion.

A few people sang and harmonized me, and it was a real surprise that I performed today. I didn't expect to drink so much myself.

The amount of alcohol poured out by Wu Kai is one aspect, mainly because I was really happy today, and I didn't expect today's meeting to be so pleasant.

Ever since I received Yaoyao's notice that I was going home for the weekend, I have always been worried, especially last night, when I was almost open until dawn.

When I sat in my uncle's car today, I was even more nervous to the point that my whole body stiffened, and I sat upright all the way. My mind went blank, and I had forgotten all the conversations I had been practicing for a week.

But after getting along with everyone this day, I realized that all my worries were just mediocrity. All the relatives in the family have the friendliest attitude towards me, which is very similar to the feeling I felt when I went to Wu Kai's house.

The way they get along has shown me a different kind of family relationship, a look that I have never dreamed of experiencing but never had.

And this will sit together, chatting very casually, which makes me feel more relaxed than ever. Of course, I secretly thought that I must redouble my efforts to be good to Yaoyao and strive to create an environment for her to grow up in.

"Well, everyone is happy today, it's okay to drink a little more. Xiaoyuan, you are still young, and you should pay attention to drinking less alcohol when you are outside. Wine is not a good thing, and drinking too much will delay things. ”

"Uncle, I know, I don't drink much. I only drink a little occasionally when I'm with friends, and I don't drink like I do today. ”

I'm telling the truth, although Wu Kai's guy often pours me wine, there are really not many ways to drink like today. If I really want to drink like this, I guess I would have broken up with him a long time ago, mainly because I don't usually drink so much alcohol.

Since my uncle reminded me at this time, I naturally want to explain it, and by the way, show my attitude. If they really misunderstand that I am an alcoholic, then do they dare to let Yaoyao be with me with confidence?

"Well, that's good, young people are outside, so you still have to pay more attention to your body. You see, when I was young, I was in the army, and I drank wine as water, but now that I am older, all kinds of physical problems come out. ”

"Well, uncle, you also have to take care of your health, now that the living conditions are better, you don't have to work so hard."

"Your aunt and I have been in good health in the past few years, and Yaoyao is now working on her own, so we don't have to worry about it. My brother is going to take the college entrance examination soon, so we don't have anything to worry about. You can just take care of yourselves, and don't worry about us. ”

"Xiaoyuan, you are with Yaoyao, me and your aunt, including my uncle and aunt, we have no opinion. We all like you very much, you are a good boy, gentle and kind. ”

As soon as my uncle's words came out, I knew that today's topic was coming. His words also completely dispelled my worries, and I was most looking forward to seeing their recognition and blessings.

"Yaoyao has praised you to me and your aunt, and when we saw you today, we were completely relieved. With you taking care of Yaoyao, we are all very down-to-earth, and I believe that you will get along well. ”

Uncle continued, my heart was already fluctuating. Uncle's words are undoubtedly the greatest affirmation for me, and also the most sincere blessing to me and Yaoyao.

"Yaoyao, this child, don't look at her soft and weak, she has an idea in her heart more than anyone else. As long as she believes in something, she must do it. ”

I have a deep understanding of this, Yaoyao is usually kind to everyone. But as long as she makes her own decisions, she will definitely insist on doing it, and her stubbornness and unwillingness to admit defeat are much stronger than mine.

"Although I'm older than you, you're a boy, so I usually let her be more. If she does something wrong, just tell me and your aunt, and we'll talk about her. ”

Uncle's words made me extremely embarrassed, in fact, during the time I spent with Yaoyao, she had always been taking care of me. She would be very careful to take care of my feelings and maintain my little self-esteem.

"You're still young, and you have to focus on your career. I heard Yaoyao say that both of you are studying on your own now, and that's good. Although none of you went to university, you can't give up and continue your studies, and it's really hard to move forward without knowledge in this society. ”

I naturally agree with my uncle's encouragement from the bottom of my heart, and in this regard, he and Dad Wu have given me the same support and affirmation.

It also strengthened my determination to continue working hard and shattered the confusion and panic in my heart. I believe that as long as we work hard, we will be able to become the person we want to be in the future.

"If there is any difficulty in work or life, just ask. Although we are not a wealthy family, we have no problem helping you in life. ”

I really don't dare to open my mouth to be honest, which is one of the important reasons why I have always had concerns in my heart.

Although Yaoyao has never mentioned her family conditions in front of me, she has never shown a trace of superiority because of this gap between us.

But there is still a gap in my own heart, so this is why I always want to try to take care of her and protect her.

I hope that I can do more to bridge this gap and reduce the gap between us.

But obviously, for Yaoyao, who has completely crushed me in all aspects, my so-called care and care is not even as much as what she gave me.

This is probably the direction of my efforts in the future, and naturally, I am even more grateful for this kind of meticulous care for their family.

"You have also seen that our family usually has a very harmonious relationship, and I hope that you can be harmonious when you get along with Yaoyao. If there is any contradiction, the two people should discuss it well, don't quarrel and make contradictions. ”

I think this is even more true, although their family atmosphere is similar to the atmosphere of Wu Kai's family, there is still a slight difference.

Wu Kai's family is more about etiquette, a sense of proportion, and rules. And Yaoyao's family is more about feelings, and it is the kind of care that cares for each other between family members.

As for the family atmosphere in our house, I don't even feel the presence of home, let alone the family atmosphere. That's why I've always longed for a home of my own.

Of course, this is also the reason why I always like to go to Wu Kai's house, I crave the feeling of being cared for, taken care of, and cared for.

"Your aunt, your uncle is in Shenzhen, you are not far away, and you usually have time to go to them for a walk. Relatives, you have to move around a lot to get close. ”

"yes, Xiaoyuan. You are so close, and you haven't been to Yaoyao's house for so long, I want to criticize you for this. ”

My uncle's words made me scratch my head in embarrassment, I thought, but how dare I? With Yaoyao, I have always had the feeling of being a thief, as if I had stolen someone's treasure.

You say that I stole someone's baby, and then took the baby to someone's house to show off, which is not appropriate.

The knot in my heart was only unraveled after meeting them today, and I really didn't have the courage to face them until then.

"In the future, I will go to the house with Yaoyao to eat during the holidays, and your aunt is bored at home alone with the children. You come to the house to spend more time with her, help bring down your sister, and talk to her so that she is not so bored. ”

Hearing my uncle's words, my uncle quickly took over the conversation, and his tone was full of tenderness, which warmed my heart.

On this day, they gave me so much warmth, and I made me feel too much love. Whether it is between elders and juniors, or between their husbands and wives, or between sisters.

I can't help but think that I must be very happy to live in such a family. I was a little envious of Yaoyao, and I began to be glad that I was with Yaoyao and had the opportunity to meet and get along with a group of such loving family members.

"Okay, little uncle, when we have a holiday, I'll go to your house with Yaoyao to play."

"Well, that's right. Don't be polite as a family, you're too shy, what's there to be shy about with your own family? ”

"That's it, Xiaoyuan. Your uncle is right, boys should be generous, look at your shy answers, like a girl. It's not good like this, boys just want sunshine and atmosphere. ”

When I heard my uncle say that I was too shy, my uncle also came out to help, and I could hear that they were worried about me. I also know this problem, since I was a child, I didn't like to communicate with people, especially strangers.

And when they brought it up at this time, I also realized the seriousness of the problem. I didn't seem to feel anything before, after all, I didn't come into contact with teachers, but classmates.

But now that I have been in the society for more than a year, I still haven't been able to get rid of this habit, and I am even becoming more and more introverted. This also bothers me a lot, but with such a personality, it's not easy to change it for a while.

"Well, uncle, I see. I will change it slowly in the future, and I have been like this since I was a child, and I can't change it all of a sudden when I get used to it. ”

Next, everyone chatted about some things together, and they cared about each other's business.

When Yaoyao and the others pushed the door in, they were chatting enthusiastically, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. Yaoyao saw that I was not left out, and she was also overjoyed.

Tingting ran towards me as soon as she was put on the ground by her aunt, staggering, and shouting her brother in a blurred voice.

Seeing her staggering towards me, afraid that she would fall, I quickly squatted down and took her into my arms.

When the family saw this scene, they burst into laughter, and it seemed that our lollipop friendship had not been defeated by time.

The little guy followed his aunt and they went out for a long time, and they didn't forget me, which also made me feel relaxed for a while.

If you can get her approval, then today's meeting with Yaoyao's family will be considered a great consummation.

It's not early, we have to work tomorrow, so we can only get up and say goodbye to our uncles and aunts and uncles, and prepare to return to Shenzhen.

My aunt hurriedly went to the room and took out two red envelopes, stuffed them into me and said, "Xiaoyuan, the first time you came to the house, this is a little bit of my heart with your uncle." You have to take good care of Yaoyao in the future, if you bully her, your aunt won't spare you. ”

Naturally, I refused repeatedly, but my uncle and aunt demanded that I have to accept it, saying that this is the rule. Yaoyao also gave me encouraging looks, and my uncle and aunt all said that this must be accepted.

In the end, I only had to stuff two thick red envelopes into the bag. My eyes were moist, my throat was choked, and after thanking my uncle and aunt, I followed my aunt and them on the way back to Shenzhen.
