Chapter 649: Hypocritical Family Love [Second update]
Xu Zhigang, Xu Xiurong and Xu Xiumin all looked at Zhen Shuai with burning eyes.
"There is nothing we can do about it. Mom ran away and no one cares about us. We have to find a way to survive on our own." Zhen Shuai said with a smile, "Maybe God loves stupid people. Our small business is indeed doing well, at least Each person can make a new quilt and buy a new set of clothes. It's pretty good to rely on yourself!"
"You've seen it. There are piles of things at home to eat, so you must have made a lot of money. How much did you make?" Xu Xiumin moved closer.
Xu Zhiqiang secretly rolled his eyes at her. Women are short-sighted and ask useless questions. In short, it's okay to earn a lot. It must be a number that they can't imagine. There is no need to ask how much they earned.
"It doesn't matter that we are far away. Your grandparents, uncles and aunts are in the village, but they don't care about you? I'll go find them!" Xu Zhiqiang stood up angrily and walked outside, but his movements were extremely slow, as if he was waiting
. Waiting for someone to stop him.
Zhen Shuai looked at the charcoal basin in a daze, as if he was distracted.
Xu Xiurong glanced at him from the corner of her eye and grabbed Xu Zhiqiang, "Where are you going? His uncle has an old man at home. Don't scare the old man out!" Xu Zhiqiang snorted coldly to express his dissatisfaction and sat down
. When I went back, I was secretly annoyed that my nephew had really grown up and was not as easy to fool as before. He looked at Xu Zhigang with dissatisfaction. He came with a purpose. He couldn't just let him stand out alone.
Xu Zhigang ignored him and looked at Zhen Shuai with concern, "I heard that you hired people to help set up the stall. Are those people reliable? You are young and it is not easy to make two bucks. Don't be fooled by outsiders. "
Zhen Shuai showed a look of gratitude on his face, "It's quite reliable. They all feel sorry for us that we have no parents and our uncle is unreliable. They treat us very well, just like we treat our nephews. We also treat them as relatives."
Xu Zhigang was embarrassed again. Fortunately, the firelight illuminated his face, so he couldn't see it. He carefully observed Zhen Shuai's expression and was still not sure whether he meant it or not.
The audience in the live broadcast room watched the host and relatives fighting back and forth, their blood boiled, and the discussion was very intense.
Ben Yiren: The handsome man is so handsome, and every sentence has a profound meaning. Is this because uncle Nei and the others are worse than strangers?
Silence: Apparently so. The handsome man is really miserable, so many of his relatives are all top-notch. The uncle looks honest and honest, but is actually very hypocritical. He said it was his eldest aunt who urged him to come. I think it actually has two meanings. First, it is to put money on his wife's face. Second, if he fails to win over the handsome family in the end, that is also what his eldest aunt meant. It's not that his uncle is snobbish.
Free as the wind: The eldest aunt talks the most and speaks the truth, but this just proves that she is the most hypocritical. If she hadn't thought about it over and over in her mind, I don't believe that she could have said such a long list of words at once just by acting on the spot, without even stumbling!
I was mining diamonds in Africa: my brother-in-law was the most despicable, and he was not even willing to put in the drama. If he can really beat up his uncle, maybe the anchor will think highly of him!
I work part-time in a live broadcast room: Auntie is okay, just a little more direct.
KongFu: I’m a little curious about what kind of family could raise such brothers and sisters.
Intoxicated in the Wind: I guess this is also a family that values boys over girls. Why do you say this way? Didn't you notice? There is no harmony among the four brothers and sisters, and their eyes are always looking at each other. If you live in a favored family for a long time, whether you are the favored party or the unappreciated party, your character will be affected. Those who are favored are likely to become more selfish, and those who are ignored are likely to be more unwilling. The root cause of Xu Xiuli's preference for boys over girls is mostly family factors.
Xu Xiumin said anxiously: "They have nothing to do with you, how can they really treat you as their nephews? They must be trying to trick you out of your money! I think you still have to have someone closer to watch over you! How about this, Your uncle has been idle, let him help you take care of them. You don’t need to pay too much for a month, just one hundred!" The audience with the nickname "I work part-time in the live broadcast room" suddenly felt like he was slapped in the face. It hurts!
The rest of the audience roared with laughter. My aunt is direct, but the problem is, it’s more than just “a little bit” direct!
Zhen Shuai took a slow sip of tea and said, "Don't worry, aunt. There is a fixed number of goods to be shipped every day. No one dares to fool you. You drink tea, it will get cold if you don't drink it." Xu Xiumin was unwilling to give in, "Your uncle ..."
"Auntie, how can I afford the salary of one more person? Otherwise, I happen to be very busy recently. You just said that my uncle is idle, why not let him help me for a while, and I will pay for it. Stay. How about it?" Zhen Shuai said, staring at Xu Xiumin with brighter and more earnest eyes.
Xu Xiumin shrank back, "This matter... haha... I'll go back and discuss it with him."
Xu Xiurong watched with cold eyes as her eldest brother, younger brother and younger sister all returned in vain, feeling very contemptuous in her heart. It's so useless!
"Shuai Shuai, actually, my aunt is here today to invite you to eat pig meat. A pig is being killed on the tenth day of the lunar month at my aunt's house. When the time comes, all five of you, my siblings, will go over, and we will have a lively meal!" Zhen Shuai said to Shen Xingdu held them on his lap and said, "Let elder sister take them there then. I have to take care of Dudu at home."
Shen Xingdu stopped reading and peeled melon seeds with his little hands and fed them to Zhen Shuai.
Xu Xiurong's brows furrowed and he said with a smile, "What's the point? Just take him with you."
Zhen Shuai looked at the tea leaves in the cup with a deep look. The aunt seemed to know a lot about his family. She didn't even ask about Brother Dudu's existence. She obviously knew that he lived at home. Uncle and the others didn't seem surprised either. I asked specifically for this.
"Okay, if the weather is good then, we will all go; if the weather is bad, I will take Dudu with me." The
three sisters are still little girls, and it is impossible for Zhen Shuai to let them visit relatives in the wind and snow.
Xu Xiurong said hurriedly: "It's okay. If the weather is bad, I will ask your uncle to pick you up."
Xu Zhigang, Xu Zhiqiang and Xu Xiumin finally understood what her idea was. This means that if you want to get closer to the water, you will get the moon first.
Xu Zhigang's tone left no room for doubt, "Then you go to your uncle's house on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Your grandma and grandpa have been talking about you! If the weather is bad, uncle will lend you a tractor to pick you up." Zhen Shuai's smile did not change and he agreed
. .
Xu Zhiqiang is stable this time. Although he and Xu Zhigang are separated, they still live in the same village, not far apart. Just go there when the time comes.
Xu Zhimin was not in a hurry and decided to go back to her parents' home on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.
Seeing that they had nothing else to ask, Zhen Shuai hugged Shen Xingdu and stood up, "Uncle, you guys sit down and I'll help in the kitchen. This is the first time for eldest sister and the others to prepare dishes for guests. I'm afraid they won't be able to cook well."
Xu Xiurong held him down and pulled Xu Xiumin to stand up, "You are a boy, how can you worry about the kitchen? I will go with your aunt." "Okay, thank you for your hard work, aunt and aunt." Zhen Shuai is actually
just He moved, but his butt didn't leave the chair at all.
The audience could see it clearly and were made to laugh by the little fox-like anchor.
Xu Zhigang and Xu Zhiqiang watched Shen Xingdu peel melon seeds and feed them to Zhen Shuai. One fed him naturally and the other ate them naturally. They couldn't bear to see Zhen Shuai willingly raising an outsider, but they didn't want to make Zhen Shuai unhappy. , can only be treated as not seeing it.
With the help of Xu Xiurong and Xu Xiumin, lunch was prepared quickly.
Two pots, four stir-fry dishes, including stewed pork ribs with potatoes, braised vermicelli with cabbage and pork, shredded pork with green pepper, braised pork, stir-fried pork liver, and steamed sausage. All meat dishes.
It’s just that the portions of each dish are too large, especially the steamed sausages, which are almost too large to fit on the big plate. Can you finish it? Zhen Shuai thought it was because Zhen Xiang and the others were inexperienced and did too much, but when he caught a glimpse of Zhen Guo secretly pouting, he understood that it was probably Xu Xiurong and Xu Xiumin's idea. These two people did not treat themselves badly.
Okay, just be happy. Can my family be ruined by you? Zhen Shuai smiled and invited the four elders to sit down.
I took two bottles of wine, so go ahead and drink it. There's still more left after drinking.
Although Xu Zhigang and Xu Zhiqiang liked it, they didn't drink more. I have to rush on the road in the afternoon, and the road is not easy to walk on, so just drink less.
Zhen Shuai did not dare to dissuade him, lest these two people were really drunk and had to stay overnight. If we want to stay overnight, it's best for four people to stay together, but there really isn't enough room at home.
When we were all full, sure enough, there was a lot of food left.
Zhen Shuai found two disposable lunch boxes, filled them with leftovers, and handed them to his uncle and uncle, "Uncle, you and your uncle can take them back for a drink." The uncle accepted them with a smile, "Use the
dishes you made with that seasoning. It's just delicious. Nephew, pack some for me and I'll take it back to your aunt for cooking."
Zhen Shuai had expected it and brought four paper bags, "The snow hasn't melted outside, and I haven't gone to buy anything recently. I'll give it to you. Each of you packed half a catty, but there is really not much more."
Even if a few people think it is too little, it is hard to say anything.
Zhen Shuai packed some other things for the four of them, half a catty of candies, half a catty of biscuits, two apples, and two catties of meat. The other thing was prepared for grandma and grandpa, asking my uncle to take it back, including six apples, a pound of biscuits, a pound of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and six pounds of fat meat. In fact, fatty meat is not suitable for the elderly, but people of this generation prefer fatty meat because it is rich in oil. So Zhen Shuai prepared fat meat.
The uncle smiled happily. It doesn't matter if he lives with me, I will give him half of the things my relatives give me.
The road is not easy, so you have to leave as soon as possible.
The four of them said goodbye, and Commander Zhen politely tried to persuade them, but to no avail, he took the three sisters to send them off, all the way to the national highway.
It's not snowing, it's snowing, and even though there's no wind, it's still bitingly cold outside.
Zhen Xiang stamped her feet, "Go back, it's freezing."
Shen Xingdu stood at the entrance of the courtyard, holding a branch and writing on the ground, with Marshmallow and Ling'er accompanying him.
A figure flashed past in the distance.
Zhen Shuai's brows furrowed fiercely. Is this the first time you’ve seen Zhen Aimin wandering around? What on earth does he want to do?
Chapter 650 Rock Paper Scissors [Third update]
Commander Zhen always felt that he was not targeting the Zhen family, but the governor. But why is he always staring at the governor?
"Shuai Shuai, lure the snake out of its hole." Shen Xingdu's body became smaller and all his abilities were suppressed, but his keen senses were still there. In the past two days, he also noticed that someone was spying on him, more than once.
"No." Zhen Shuai refused without even thinking. Brother Dudu has now become a villain, and he is even less likely to let him take risks. No matter what Zhen Aimin wants to do, just don't give him a chance. Even if he wasn't with Brother Dudu, Marshmallow and Ling'er were, and he didn't believe that Zhen Aimin could still find a loophole.
Zhen Aimin wasn't sure whether Zhen Shuai had seen him, but it didn't matter. This road didn't belong to Zhen Shuai's house. He could come whenever he wanted and Zhen Shuai had nothing to do with it. It's just that continuing like this is not the answer, we still have to think of something else.
Back home, several children were warming themselves by the brazier. Wu Guixiang had her feet on the baking basket and was doing needlework.
Seeing him coming back from outside, Wu Guixiang didn't ask where he went.
Zhen Aimin suddenly became angry, snatched the drying basket and walked out again.
"You man, where are you going?"
"Young man!"
Zhen Aimin walked quickly on the snow carrying the drying basket. Everyone was at home, and there was no one except himself. As he walked, he accidentally came to the gate of Shenxing Country.
The courtyard door was closed, but there were voices inside, but I couldn't hear them clearly.
Zhen Aimin sneered, his expression full of contempt. This guy surnamed Shen is really a piece of shit, and his own son didn’t want it even if he said he didn’t want it!
"Sneeze—" Shen Xingdu sneezed.
Zhen Shuai looked at him dumbfounded for a moment, first stunned, and then burst into laughter.
"Ouch, the snot is coming out!"
Shen Xingdu knew that he was lying to him and looked at him with a straight face.
Zhen Shuai shrank his neck and said in a low voice: "Okay, I was wrong."
"What's wrong?" Shen Xingdu said expressionlessly.
Zhen Shuai rushed to him and hugged him, "I was really wrong! I will never laugh at you again!" Shen Xingdu hugged him back and patted him gently
.
Zhen Shuai breathed a sigh of relief.
It's just that he doesn't know yet that he relaxed a little too early. The consequences of always laughing at Shen Xingdu are a bit serious.
"Brother Dudu, why don't we go skating while it's still early."
After seeing off their uncle and the others, Zhen Xiang and the others didn't go home, but went to a good friend's house to play. Now he and Shen Xingdu were the only ones at home, and they were a little bored.
Governor Shen Xing nodded and went to the room to get their gloves.
Zhen Shuai excitedly put the skates he bought recently into the basket. He carried the basket with his left hand and prepared to hug Shen Xingdu with his right hand.
Shen Xingdu ducked aside and walked outside first.
"I'll go by myself."
At this time, Zhen Shuai didn't think much about it. If you want to walk by yourself, just walk for a while.
He locked the door and followed with the basket.
The roads in the village are even more difficult to walk after snow. Some residents have shoveled the snow at the door, and some have not. Regardless of whether they are shoveled or not, the roads are icy and full of potholes. You must be very careful when walking on it. Even Zhen Shuai was sweating after just walking for a while, not to mention Shen Xingdu, who was swaying like a little penguin. Although cute, he also looked dangerous.
Zhen Shuai was afraid that he would fall, so he took two steps and tried to pick him up again.
Unexpectedly, Shen Xingdu ruthlessly refused again.
"There is no need to hug him anymore."
Zhen Shuai was like a bolt from the blue, "Why?"
The live broadcast room was opened when Zhen Shuai went out, and the audience did not know what happened before. Therefore, when they saw this scene, their reaction was: Huh? Um? what happened? Had a quarrel? If so, then their interest is high!
Many viewers bought gifts with great enthusiasm, and the brilliant fireworks continued for a long time, making it more lively than when the welfare was given out in the live broadcast room.
Shen Xingdu said in his heart, why? If I let you continue to hug me, I'm afraid you will really forget that I am your man. The shocked expression on his little lover's face was cute, but it also made him feel a little distressed. He took the initiative to hold his hand, "I'm afraid you'll be tired."
"I'm not tired!" Zhen Shuai retorted, "You only weigh more than 20 pounds."
Shen Xingdu stopped and rubbed his forehead.
"Uh..." Zhen Shuai seemed to understand what he was worried about, "Then, walk slowly. I'm not afraid of you falling, I'm afraid of falling myself!" Shen Xingdu's calm eyes seemed to have a hint of resentment
. It's better not to explain.
He stopped even holding Zhen Shuai's hand and walked forward as straightly as possible.
Zhen Shuai followed behind, watching his feet slipping and slipping, his little heart almost bursting out of his chest, and he had to pretend to be nonchalant.
After taking a few steps, Shen Xingdu came up with a safe way to pick a potholed place to stay, so that it would be less likely to fall.
Zhen Shuai quietly gave him a thumbs up behind his back, not daring to let him see it.
The audience pondered for a while and roughly understood what the quarrel between the two was, and they were extremely disappointed. I thought the two of them really had a quarrel, but it turned out to be another bowl of dog food! Hey!
The place for skating is the big pond in the village. There is a thick layer of ice, at least ten centimeters, so it is relatively safe to play on it. When the two arrived, there were already many people on the ice. Some ride bicycles on it, and some play football on it. If they fall, they don't cry out in pain, but laugh out loud. There are also skaters, but they don't skate on skates. Instead, one person squats while the other person holds his hand and runs on the ice.
There were too many people, including football players. Zhen Shuai didn't want to take Shen Xingdu there to play. It would be bad if he was kicked by a football.
There is more than one pond in the village, but there are probably many people in other places as well.
"Come back next time." Governor Shen Xing saw Zhen Shuai's disappointment and took his hand, "Let's play sledding."
Zhen Shuai cheered up, "Okay! I know a good place."
The two were about to leave, He Xiaolong discovered them.
"Zhen Shuai! Come and play together -"
"I remembered that I have something else to do. Let's play together next time." Zhen Shuai said loudly.
He Xiaolong waved his hand. Fine.
The two went home carrying their skates.
Marshmallow and Ling'er came up to them, a little curious as to why they came back so quickly.
Zhen Shuai took out the sled he made by himself from the warehouse. This thing has been made for a long time, but it has not been used even once.
Marshmallow's eyes also lit up, and she danced around him excitedly, "Ouch-ouch-" He hadn't gone out to have fun in a long time!
The two of them set off towards the back mountain in high spirits.
There is a large slope at the foot of the mountain. There are few people going there and the snow is not damaged by footprints, which is perfect for playing.
The chairs on the sleigh are large enough to accommodate two people sitting side by side. As soon as Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu sat down, Marshmallow started running wildly, making a sound like a wolf's howl in excitement, venting his strong energy. Ling'er grasped the back of the chair tightly with both paws and stood firm even if the wind was strong.
"So fast--"
Zhen Shuai opened his mouth and was forced to swallow a mouthful of cold wind. He quickly closed his mouth. His long eyelashes were blown by the wind and swayed, making him unable to open his eyes. I also knew that Shen Xingdu would be even more miserable than him. He covered Shen Xingdu's eyes and shouted to Marshmallow, "Marshmallow - slow down -"
Marshmallow looked back and slowed down a little aggrievedly.
Zhen Shuai felt much more comfortable now.
"Brother--"
In the distant pond, Zhen Cheng heard the sound of marshmallow, pointed to the distance, and said to Zhen Xiang.
Zhen Guo ran ashore, looked into the distance, and pouted, "Brother, he secretly took Dudu to play sledding!" "
Let's go there too!" Zhen Guo ran away without waiting for their answer.
Zhen Shuai sat back and forth for three times and felt comfortable. When he saw Zhen Xiang and the others coming over, he gave up his seat to them. Just in time, Marshmallow didn't like running too slowly and it was not enough.
"Marshmallow is very fast, you have to hurry up."
"Got it!"
Zhen Xiang hugged Zhen Cheng and walked slowly, Zhen Guo and Zhen Duo got up first.
Marshmallow became energetic, shook his head, howled, and ran away.
Zhen Duo and Zhen Guo shouted excitedly: "Ah ah ah -"
Zhen Cheng clapped his hands and screamed.
"I want to sit too - I want to sit too -"
"It will be our turn after your second sister and third sister have played." Zhen Xiang was also looking forward to this game, looking at the two sisters who were drifting away, The smile is relaxed and comfortable.
Zhen Shuai and Shen Xingdu ran to a place a little further away and built a snowman using local materials.
"Brother, let's compete. The loser must agree to the winner's request!" Zhen Shuai was in high spirits.
Shen Xingdu curled his lips slightly and said, "Okay."
The audience sneered. Anchor, how confident are you? Brother Ren Shen's ice sculptures have won awards before. It's just a snowman, it will be simpler.
Zhen Shuai doesn’t think he will lose, as he is also very good at art. He found some pine needles that had turned black due to decay to make the snowman's hair, and withered leaves to make clothes... A delicate snowman slowly appeared. It is Shen Xingdu, who is tall and tall, with a stern face and charming temperament.
Shen Xingdu's progress was not slow either, but what he built was not a standing snowman, but a boy who had just woken up in the morning and had not yet left the bed. His sleepy eyes and misty expression... were so lifelike that they made people want to hug and kiss them. . What he piles up is Zhen Shuai who wakes up in the morning!
The audience couldn't take their eyes away and didn't forget to take screenshots. Both of their works are excellent and each has its own merits. The anchor's snowman shows a static beauty, using both pine needles and leaves, which is ingenious; Brother Shen's snowman shows a dynamic beauty. At first glance, I really thought that the boy was about to get up from the bed.
Zhen Shuai thinks the snowman he built is good, but Xing Du's is also great; Shen Xingdu thinks the snowman he builds is not bad, but Shuai Shuai's is also cool.
It's hard to tell the difference.
Audiences clamored for the right to vote.
Commander Zhen ignored him and glanced at Shen Xingdu's gloved hand. A flash of cunning quickly flashed through his big black and white eyes, "We are rock, paper, scissors." Shen Xingdu nodded
.
Zhen Shuai said again: "Brother, I'm going to give you a cloth, what are you going to do?" His voice was soft and sweet, and his eyes were blinking.
The audience covered their faces. Anchor, you are blatantly cheating...
Shen Xingdu looked at him quietly for a moment and slowly stretched out his right hand.
