My golden finger is open

The train was still clanging along, and for the rest of the time, except for people getting on and off the train, Shen Qingyu and the other person had a smooth journey.

It was not until seven o'clock in the evening that the train slowed down and slowly drove into Beijing Railway Station.

Lu Xuyao ​​and Shen Qingyu also followed most of the passengers and walked out with their luggage.

It was already dark. They finally got out of the station amid the crowd. Lu Xuyao ​​said that he had already sent a telegram to his family and didn't know if anyone would come to pick them up.

Shen Qingyu was holding the heavier package when he heard a clear voice coming over, "Brother, I'm here."

Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw a baby-faced young man jogging over, and he pounced on Lu Xuyao ​​and gave him a warm hug.

At the same time, the baby-faced young man kept yelling, "Brother, you haven't been back for more than two years. I miss you, and my parents and little sister miss you too. You are so cruel. Can't you come back to see us more often?"

After saying that, the young man straightened up and took the package from Lu Xuyao ​​with a smile.

He seemed to glance at Shen Qingyu from the corner of his eye, but didn't say hello.

Lu Xuyao ​​looked at his younger brother without being too affectionate. He looked at his younger brother who was already as tall as an adult man and said, "Let's go, Xiaofeng."

Remembering that he had not yet introduced his wife to his brother, he smiled gently and said, "Looking at Lu Xufeng, the person next to me is your sister-in-law Shen Qingyu."

After listening to his eldest brother's words, Lu Xufeng looked at Shen Qingyu. He did not call her sister-in-law, but only said, "Hello."

He turned around and called his brother, "Come on, brother, let's go home. The family is waiting for you to come back for dinner."

Lu Xuyao ​​nodded, took the package from his wife, and pulled her with one hand, "Let's go."

Shen Qingyu looked at her adopted brother who was chattering non-stop with Lu Xuyao. It was obvious that this guy didn't like her.

Since he met her, he has never looked at her straight in the eye. Shen Qingyu frowned slightly. He came all the way here but it seems that he is not welcomed.

It seems that I won’t have a good year this year.

When she thought of this, her expression became noticeably more casual. Since she could already imagine the scene of their meeting later, she should not care too much about this family's attitude towards her.

Her heart is very small and can't accommodate so many people. Since they don't welcome her, she will just have to see what happens when the time comes. Shen Qingyu will not make things difficult for herself for others.

Along the way, the three of them walked and stopped, and it took about twenty minutes before they arrived at the entrance of an alley.

Lu Xuyao ​​looked at the familiar street. This was where he was born and he still missed it quite a bit.

Lu Xuyao ​​took Shen Qingyu's hand and introduced her gently, "My home is in the alley, just a few steps away. Tomorrow I will take you to see where I grew up."

Shen Qingyu nodded and soon came to a courtyard. When she walked in, it was obvious that this was a large compound.

Inside was a U-shaped building. Shen Qingyu had good eyesight and could see the scenery inside clearly. There were probably four or five households living here.

There are items piled up in front of every house, crowded and crammed together. In the middle of the yard is a water tank with a few wooden barrels next to it.

Overall, the courtyard is well-arranged, with a hint of everyday life amid the messiness.

At this time, Lu Xuyao's younger brother shouted into the house, "Mom, Dad, sister, my brother is back."

Then a young girl ran out. When she saw Lu Xuyao, she pulled him into the house, complaining as she walked, "Brother, why did you come back just now? I missed you so much."

Then her brother walked into the house laughing. Shen Qingyu, who was forgotten, shook her head helplessly and followed him into the house. Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to stand there like a wooden stake, waiting for Lu Xuyao ​​to come and find her.

But the smile on her face was obviously faint.

When he entered the house, he felt a warm feeling. Their packages were placed on the ground beside him by his brother.

Next, I saw an intellectual middle-aged woman walking out of the kitchen, wiping her hands as she walked, tears already flowing before she even arrived.

Then she said, "My son, come and let me see if you have lost weight."

Then, the woman looked Lu Xuyao ​​up and down until the man said, "You haven't lost weight, you're fine!"

The middle-aged woman turned her gaze towards Shen Qingyu, and she immediately became calm and elegant, looking her up and down.

Soon after, the young girl also looked over with a critical look in her eyes. Shen Qingyu just stood there and let the mother and daughter look at her.

One second, two seconds, and six or seven seconds passed before Lu Xuyao ​​took her hand and introduced her to everyone, "This is my wife, Shen Qingyu."

Then he pointed at his mother and introduced her to Shen Qingyu, "This is mom, and this is my sister, Lu Qing. I've introduced my brother before."

Shen Qingyu greeted everyone one by one, but it wasn't too enthusiastic.

Mother Lu nodded slightly towards Shen Qingyu, "Since you are here, we are a family. Your father is on the night shift tonight and won't be back until tomorrow morning, so let's eat first."

As she spoke, she walked into the kitchen. Lu Qing followed behind her. Then Shen Qingyu heard her cheap sister-in-law's voice, "Mom, why did you accept that bumpkin? She is not worthy of our family."

Then, Shen Qingyu heard her mother-in-law say, "What can we do? The marriage certificate has already been obtained. Your brother is the same. He insisted on working in such a faraway place and even settled down there." The voice gradually disappeared.

Then I saw the mother and daughter walking out as if nothing had happened.

Shen Qingyu raised her eyes and glanced at Lu Qing, without any emotion. The girl seemed to sense it, looked up at her and snorted softly.

Lu Xuyao ​​took Shen Qingyu to wash up briefly, and when he came out, he saw the three people at the dining table were already seated and waiting.

The hall is not big, only about 7-8 square meters. There is a round table in the middle. Now that people are sitting at the table, there is hardly anyone passing through the aisle.

Lu Xuyao ​​and Shen Qingyu sat down. The meal on the table had already been served. It was a mixture of white rice and corn.

There were four dishes on the table, one was scrambled eggs, and one was sliced ​​cabbage with two thin slices of pork in it.

A palm-sized crucian carp and a vermicelli soup. Shen Qingyu was not hungry at all. Before getting off the train, she and Lu Xuyao ​​finished the remaining marinated food and braised pork.

Now I just want to have a rest. I take a hard seat on the train. I have been sitting there all night and all the good people have left.

Before Lu's mother invited them to eat, Shen Qingyu saw her cheap sister-in-law raised her chin towards her and raised her eyelids proudly.

He looked so smug no matter how you looked at him.

Shen Qingyu didn't understand. Maybe this girl had something wrong with her eyes? Why did she keep blinking?
