Come on, butcher

The IKEA that Xiao Xi wants to go to is not available in their small town, but only in the neighboring city. It takes more than three hours to drive, and the two of them don't mind the trouble, and they really plan to go.Of course they can't go on New Year's Day, because the greenhouse business is good during the holidays and they are too busy. Xiao Xi's winter vacation is coming soon, so they decided to wait until the winter vacation is over before going.

This New Year's Day, Zheng Haifei also prepared another surprise for Xiao Xi. He bought an electronic kiln online. Xiao Xi was ecstatic, and plunged into the flowerpot firing.As long as he is free, he will go to the shed to draw, figure out the style, mix mud, pull the billet, and fire it. Watching the finished products come out in batches, let alone a sense of accomplishment.

Xiao Xi also launched a one-month free flowerpot firing activity to customers. Of course, the cost of clay has to be paid by customers themselves.As soon as this activity was launched, many young butchers came to the shed, just to experience the fun of firing clay pots by themselves.People who like to raise succulents not only have a great preference for meat, but also have fanatical requirements for pots, soil, paving stones, etc.Therefore, the cost of raising succulents is not low, because its soil is specially prepared, and it cannot be raised just by digging a little from the roadside flower bed.

Sure enough, just as Xiao Xi thought, the large number of customers also directly drove the sales of succulents.Luo Juan laughed at the two of them: "You are a husband and wife with one heart, and your profits cut through the gold. No wonder the business of the greenhouse is getting better and better."

This year's winter vacation is relatively early, and it has just entered the middle of January.The first thing after the holiday is naturally to go to IKEA, which Xiao Xi has been thinking about for a long time.What Xiao Xi told her parents was still to go to Zheng Haifei's greenhouse to do holiday work. Xiao's mother was very dissatisfied, and her son was not at home to accompany her during the last winter vacation.But Xiao Xi still persuaded her, because she was not at home during the day, and he would definitely not go to work during the Spring Festival, and would stay with her at home, and Xiao's mother agreed.

Early in the morning on the first day of the holiday, Xiao Xi and Zheng Haifei drove out and arrived at IKEA at ten in the morning. It was not a holiday, and there were quite a few people in the store, which showed that IKEA's business was good.The characteristics of IKEA furniture are simple and bright without losing taste. It is mainly practical and inexpensive. Xiao Xi especially likes this kind of furniture with a strong design style. He wants to buy everything he sees, including sofas and beds.Zheng Haifei said: "Forget about beds and sofas, big ones are not considered, buy small ones." Zheng Haifei has done a lot of homework before coming here, knowing that IKEA's things focus on design, and quality comes second.

Xiao Xi said: "Let's use IKEA furniture as a new home. I have a special feeling when I look at these furniture. It must look very good in the house."

Zheng Haifei said: "Let's take a look first, write down what we see, and then we will ask the decoration company to make it for us." One of the reasons why Zheng Haifei came here is to come to IKEA to find inspiration for their upcoming decoration preparations for the new house.

"Okay." Xiao Xi didn't insist. He knew that it would not be realistic to buy furniture from here and move home. In fact, he came to IKEA just to feel it.

There are so many things that I want to buy, Xiao Xi almost wants to move half of IKEA home, I think everything I see is useful, I like everything, fortunately there is Zheng Haifei, the calm head of the family, by my side, otherwise Xiao Xi would definitely call It takes a truck to move what you want home.

The two shopped tirelessly for half a morning and an afternoon, and didn't even think about going elsewhere. After shopping, it was dark, and it took a lot of effort for them to basically stuff the things they bought into the place. In the car, there were still two large items that couldn't fit, so I had to go to the logistics consignment.

The car drove directly to their new home, and things were moved there, so Xiao Xi didn't go back that night.Before that, he called his mother and said that he had gone to a reunion with his high school classmates, and he might not go home at night.

The next day, Xiao Xi and Zheng Haifei went to the greenhouse together. It was cold and windy outside, but it was as warm as spring in the greenhouse. The succulents were growing vigorously under the suitable temperature and warm sunshine, and it looked like spring.Zheng Haifei took the time to process the order. In winter, everything in the north is withered. Even the evergreen pines and cypresses look gray and green is very rare, so people like to buy a few pots of narcissus at home to add some vitality to the home. Succulents are not affected by the seasons. , known as the flowers that never wither, so now succulents have become people's new favorite in winter. Many retailers in the flower market are rushing to stock up some succulents before the Spring Festival, so as to catch up with the peak sales season of the Spring Festival flower market.The business in Zheng Hai's flying shed is very prosperous, and the Spring Festival seems to be the peak sales of succulents after spring and autumn.

Xiao Xi showed Luo Juan the photos he took yesterday, and boasted to her of all the good things about IKEA.Luo Juan is a housewife, so naturally she has a strong interest in household items, and the two chatted very speculatively.

Just looking at it, the electronic door at the entrance of the shed said sweetly: "Welcome!" When the guests came, they naturally went to greet them. Xiao Xi raised his head and saw Liu: "Uncle, why are you here?" During the winter vacation The business of the shrimp fishing hall is not bad, and many students come to fish for shrimp.

Da Liu glanced around the greenhouse, and said to Xiao Xi: "Xiao Xi, you are not busy now, come and do uncle a favor."

Xiao Xi had no choice but to put away her mobile phone, and followed Da Liu out: "What's the matter, uncle?"

Da Liu turned around and went out, instead of going back to the shrimp fishing house, he got into his car directly, Xiao Xi had no choice but to follow: "Uncle, where are you going? How long will it take?"

Da Liu didn't speak, and waved his head to signal him to get in the car, so Xiao Xi had no choice but to get in the car. Seeing that he got in the car, Da Liu locked the door, and then asked, "Why did you go last night?"

Xiao Xi was taken aback for a moment, not knowing why Da Liu asked, "I didn't do anything, I went to a friend's house."

"Which friend?" Da Liu stared at Xiao Xi, as if to see if he was lying.

Xiao Xi faltered and said: "My classmate's family had a party together, and I didn't go back when it was too late."

Da Liu sighed: "I shouldn't have asked you this. I know you didn't tell Uncle the truth. I saw you and Xiao Zheng last night in Yuexuan Community. What's the point of this?" What can’t be said? Or is there something shady between you?” Yuexuan Community is the community where Zheng Haifei’s family is located.

Xiao Xi was confused, looked into Da Liu's eyes, and then moved away: "Uncle, I don't understand what you are saying."

Da Liu's expression was unusually serious, and his tone was also very severe: "Why don't you understand? That night, Zheng Haifei drove you home by bike, and the two of you were hugging each other. I felt a little weird at that time. Last night we Having dinner with your parents, your parents said that you went to a class reunion, but when I went to send a friend home, I saw you and Zheng Haifei getting out of the car, carrying a big bag of things, talking and laughing upstairs , I didn’t come down after that. You have a good relationship with him, and it’s normal to stay with him for a night, but why don’t you tell the truth, what is the reason?”

Xiao Xi lowered her head under Liu's persuasion and dared not speak.

Da Liuyu said earnestly: "Xiao Xi, Uncle loves you as if he were his own child. Tell Uncle the truth, what is your relationship with Zheng Haifei?"

Xiao Xi was fighting a battle between heaven and man in his heart, and the struggle was very fierce. Uncle Liu had already found out that something was wrong, but he certainly didn't have any definite evidence, should he confess to him?

Da Liu saw that he was still silent, and his face became more serious: "If you don't speak, I will take it as your acquiescence. Xiao Xi, is this a joke? You have only one son in your family, and you let your parents How do you live?!" Da Liu's voice was very severe.

Xiao Xi shook her head, lowered her head and said, "I'm sorry, Uncle, I didn't mean to hide it from you. I plan to find a suitable opportunity to tell everyone."

"Are you still going to tell your parents?" Da Liu raised his voice, "If you don't give up on me quickly and separate from him, I will, I will beat you to death first. Anyway, your father will also want to kill you if he finds out. kill you!"

Xiao Xi raised her head and looked into Da Liu's eyes: "Uncle, this matter is not a matter of giving up or not. I will not separate from him."

Seeing that the threat failed, Da Liu turned into persuasive persuasion: "Xiao Xi, have you ever talked to a girlfriend?"

Xiao Xi shook her head: "No."

"Then you should go find a girlfriend! I know that many young people like to play, what kind of excitement, what kind of drugs, homosexuality, but how could this happen to you, uncle watched you grow up, Although you are also naughty, you have never been out of line. You listen to Uncle about this matter, stop making trouble, if you have played with it, calm down as soon as possible, and get back on track! You go back today, don’t do it with Zheng Haifei Now, I will pretend that this has never happened, and I won't mention it to your parents." Da Liu's tone could not be refused, and he started the car after speaking.

Xiao Xi knew that Da Liu was serious about it, this was too unexpected, he was out of the closet before he was ready, he quickly grabbed Da Liu's arm and stopped him: "Uncle, don't, don't be impulsive, you first Don't drive, will you listen to me?"

Da Liu stopped the car: "Let's talk."

Xiao Xi showed a troubled expression on his face: "Uncle, I have always been close to you and treat you as my own uncle. So I especially hope to get your understanding and support on this matter..."

"That won't work, I can't understand!" Da Liu interrupted him.

Xiao Xi paused and said, "Uncle, I'm really not joking. I like Zheng Haifei, and he likes me too. We are just like you and your aunt, we will always be together."

"Then how can you be the same as me and your aunt? It's only natural for men and women to be together, and it's against morality and ethics for men to be together!" Da Liu's tone was very excited.

Xiao Xi paused for a moment, then said, "There is no difference between the two of us except that one of the genders is different from my aunt. The biggest difference between men and men is that they cannot have children."

Da Liu was choked up by Xiao Xi's words for a long time, because he himself had no children. Aunt Liu had an accident when she was young and couldn't have children. , but they did not separate. They are a model of love between husband and wife in Xiao Xi's parents' generation.

Da Liu turned his face away and spoke after a while: "You child, who doesn't want a child of their own?"

Xiao Xi heard that Liu's voice had changed, and quickly apologized and said: "Uncle, I'm sorry, I don't want to bring up your sadness. I just want to express that no matter what, Zheng Haifei and I can stay together like you and your aunt. , grow old together."

It took a while for Da Liu to say: "You are still young, and you don't know what path you are taking. Uncle is worried that you will mature in the future and regret that there is no way out."

"Uncle, I won't regret it."

"How do you know what's going on in the future? Your aunt sometimes wipes tears behind my back, and she also wants to have a child of her own, and she secretly took so many messy medicines." Da Liu told the bitterness of his family, This kind of thing has always been silently swallowed in his stomach.

"Uncle, have you ever regretted it?" Xiao Xi asked.

Da Liu shook his head: "Our situation is different from yours. We have no choice. You can choose." When Da Liu was young, he was a libertine and mixed with society. Aunt Liu was his childhood sweetheart girlfriend. Da Liu was sought for revenge, Aunt Liu helped him block the knife, was stabbed in the stomach, injured the uterus, and has since lost fertility.Liu therefore bears the guilt of a lifetime.

Xiao Xi said: "Uncle, I also can't choose, because love is not driven by reason."

"How do you know that it's love? Maybe it's an illusion!" Da Liu said, started the car and drove to Xiao Xi's house, "I'll take you home, and you will never see Zheng Haifei again, calm down for a while Time, maybe it will wake up. What future can men and men have."

The car door was locked, Xiao Xi couldn't get out, so she could only smile wryly: "Uncle, why did you do this, I have thought it through long ago, if it was an illusion, why would I have come to this point today."

"Don't talk about it, go back and calm down. If you meet again secretly and contact him, I will tell your parents directly and let you talk to your parents." Da Liu's face has always been very serious.

Xiao Xi leaned against the back seat of the car helplessly: "What if it still doesn't work after calming down?"

Da Liu gritted his teeth: "Don't say it's too early."
