Xinman's Collection

"Hey, your daughter is promising, unlike our family, who stays at home when she grows up, and doesn't even have a partner." An aunt chatted with Xin's mother. Her daughter was the cousin Xin Xin had seen before.

Hearing what her mother said at this time, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, and said in a bad mood, "Why are you talking about this? I haven't looked for it yet. I can always find a job after the Chinese New Year."

"You don't like to listen to it when you talk about it." Her mother was also angry.

Xin's mother just listened and didn't interrupt. After all, parents can talk about this topic, and others can either listen or agree.

The cousin who was said snorted and moved to the sofa beside her. She looked at Xin Xin who was surrounded by the crowd, she was so beautiful and dazzling, especially...

There was a smile on Xuan Ruobo's handsome face, which could not help but look, and his wealth was much stronger than others.

It would be great if... if it was mine.

There was a hopeful expression on the cousin's face, and then jealousy flashed in her eyes. She was only dreaming about this kind of thing. dodge.

Thinking of this, the distant cousin forced herself to look away, and suddenly saw Xin Man eating sunflower seeds beside her.

Xin Man finally got out of the "sea of ​​bitterness", and Xin Xin was able to handle the interrogation between women. He was eating melon seeds to see how Xin Xin saw her tricks, when he heard someone speak in a strange way.

"Xin Man, you didn't pass the postgraduate entrance examination last time, and this time you take the exam again, what if you don't pass the entrance examination?"

Xin Man looked back in surprise with the melon seeds in his mouth, and saw his cousin who he hadn't seen a few times that year looked at him. This was Xin Xin's cousin, but it was Xin Man's cousin.

Xin Man didn't answer, knowing that his cousin had a bit of a personality... It's hard to explain clearly, now that she has graduated and hasn't looked for a job, she just wants to stay at home.

"If you really didn't pass the exam this time, wouldn't it be a year of delay? Where are you going to find a job? If you don't have experience, you're competing with this year's graduates for a job?" The cousin looked optimistic.

Xin Man: "...What about you?"

"what?"

Xin Man said slowly, "You haven't found a job."

His cousin has another bad point, that is, she has no self-knowledge. She obviously has problems in her body but she always fails to see them. She loves to belittle others and improve herself...

Xin Man's cousin choked, she couldn't answer this question, she simply rolled her eyes and sat away from Xin Man, probably the two siblings are nothing in her heart.

When going back, Xin Xin asked Xin Man what the cousin had said to him at that time. What virtue."

This cousin is so ambitious, and she will really be a mistress to a rich old man in the future, but his wife is amazing. When she catches the scene of a tryst between the two, she leads someone to strip her off and throw her into the street. This made the cousin's whole family ashamed and moved away from this place.

"Chinese New Year is full of things. Tomorrow we will set up a table at home, and the third aunt will also come. If there is nothing to do, let's avoid it, so as to save her from nagging."

Xin Man nodded, looking at the scenery passing by outside the window, he suddenly thought of Teacher Tantai.

Is it true that longing will bring people? Early the next morning, when Xin Man went out to take out the trash, he really saw the person he had been thinking about day and night appearing in front of him.

At that time, Xin Man was shivering and wrapped in a small sweater, planning to throw away the garbage bag and run back to the room, but now he just stood there, putting his hands on his chest and forgetting to retract them, looking stupid.

Until Tantai Buddha put down his luggage, strode over and wrapped Xin Man in his clothes, the scorching heat rushed towards his face, and Xin Man recovered from the warmth.

He raised his head stupidly, met Tantai Buddha's smiling eyes, and murmured, "Teacher Tantai?"

Tantai Buddha bowed his head and kissed again and again, until Xin Manki's face flushed, "It's me."

"Ah." A little cheer leaked from Xin Man's throat, he hugged Tantai Buddha's waist, and rubbed happily, "Why are you here?"

"Come to accompany Manman to celebrate the New Year." Tantai Buddha said softly.

Xin Man suddenly remembered the night of the New Year's Eve. Before going to sleep, he told Tantai Buddha that it would be great if he could be by his side, but he did not expect to see him.

"Then your home?" Xin Man raised his head and asked.

"They have no objection." It should be said that they are very happy to see the results.

The two hugged outside for a while before moving back. Although Xin's parents and Xin's mother were surprised that Tantai Buddha came here during the Chinese New Year, they still warmly entertained them.

"Hey, your parents have gone on a trip, so you don't have a place to go. You should live here with Auntie. It's just right to share a room with Manman." Xin's mother patted Tantai Buddha's hand and said, and after a while, the two They got closer.

"Auntie is treating guests to dinner in the shed at noon, let's eat more."

The place at home is small, so many relatives can’t fit in. This is an old housing area, and there is a big square in the community. I don’t know when it started. Every time during the Chinese New Year, sheds of various sizes will be set up in the square. Relatives will go over to eat.

The ingredients packed at home were taken back and forth. Xin Man's family built three sheds, and a few big pots were set up outside. There were several other houses next to them. They were all old neighbors. Everyone was chatting while cooking, and there was When the relatives come, they will greet each other again.

Anyway, there is no time to rest.

Xin Man took the cold dishes covered with plastic wrap and put them on the table one by one. Tantai Buddha sat obediently on a plastic chair with Xuan Miao sitting on his lap. Xuan Miao was playing with toys by himself, and he turned his head , Xinman sees wherever he goes.

"Look at which table is still short of food, why is there an extra plate?"

Father Xin yelled loudly, and Xuan Ruobo and Xin Man responded at the same time. Comrade Xuan Ruobo, an elite man in society, had an apron tied around his body. He held a fish tail in his hand and waved to Xin Man, "You Go see it, it's full."

"Yeah." Xin Man carried the vegetables and inspected the three sheds.

Tantaifo looked at it strangely, he knew exactly what kind of person Xuan Ruobo was, he was well dressed, his family was rich, and he was capable, he had never seen Xuan Ruobo like this before, the apron was that black It was made of plastic cloth, with oily smoke on it, and Xuan Ruobo's hands also smelled like fish scales, and he was playing with Xin Xin while he was doing it.

For some reason, Tantai Buddha looked at the warm heart, it was a simple but happy scene, he seemed... never experienced it, no, it should be said that he was experiencing it, Xinman was his happiness.

"Teacher Tantai?"

Just as he was thinking, Xin Man waved his hand in front of his eyes, "What are you thinking about?"

"In a daze." Xuan Miao muttered while biting a sliced ​​sausage, "Uncle is in a daze."

I knew that if I hugged her, I wouldn't tease her.

Xin Man sat beside Tantai Buddha, rubbed his niece's face, and looked at Tantai Buddha, "Are you not used to it?"

"I haven't seen it before." Tantai Fo nodded, "It's very interesting and warm."

"Yeah, I'm going to be so hot." Xin Man fanned him with his hands. He was wearing a thick coat, but he was always running around, sweating all over his body. Luckily, Dad Xin brought an extra vest so that Xin Man took off his coat and put a vest on him.

Now Xin Man is wearing an old-fashioned bulky vest. Although it doesn't fit well, it is still warm.

Just as Tantai Buddha was about to say something, he heard someone shouting over there, and Xin Man hurriedly responded, "I'll be there right away! Teacher Tantai, if you're tired, put Miaomiao down first, and if you're hungry, come and find me. You are delicious." After saying that, he ran away.

Tantai Buddha was wearing what appeared to be delicate and expensive clothes, and Mama Xin deliberately kept people away from the stove, so as not to be smoked by the fireworks.

Before dinner was served, Xin Man heard his third aunt's loud voice not far away. Looking back, he saw an old lady with a ruddy complexion following a man in a suit.

Xin Man clicked his tongue, he came out wearing a suit in such a cold day, wouldn't he be afraid of freezing to death?

Look at his cousin's clothes are not thick.

Xin Xin squatted beside him and muttered, "I want to show off her son. I heard that her son has been promoted again this year."

"My cousin is actually a pretty good person, and he hasn't been taught to be stupid by the third aunt." Xin Man replied in a low voice.

His cousin is handsome and capable, and he said that Aunt San is patriarchal, but he changed a little later, thanks to his cousin's persuasion and explanation.

Xin Xin snorted, "Yeah, after studying for so many years, and even with the same knowledge as Third Aunt, he will be doomed."

It's just too straight, it makes people speechless.

After the third aunt came over, she chatted directly with Mama Xin. Her son came over and nodded at Xin Xinman, "Cousin, cousin, do you need help?"

"No, thank you." Xin Man shook his head.

His cousin straightened his clothes, although the clothes made people feel cold, but he didn't seem to feel anything, and his expression didn't change.

"Let me serve it for you." My cousin wanted to take the plate from Xin Man's hand.

Just as Xin Man wanted to hide, he heard someone shouting from behind, "Don't move!"

His third aunt ran forward, took a closer look at the clothes on his cousin, and said with a sigh of relief, "What kind of plate are you serving? It's full of vegetable soup. You can sprinkle it on the clothes."

After speaking, he smiled at Xin Xin, "Don't let your cousin do it, he is clumsy, and dropped the plate again, isn't it a waste of your food?"

Xin Xin nodded with a smile on her face, "Isn't it, we didn't plan to let my cousin work."

Third Aunt patted her leg, "That's it."

She looked at Xin Xin's clothes with distressed expression, "Hey girl, your clothes are not cheap, why don't you take them off and work again?"

Xin Xin said indifferently, "It's okay, just wash it if it's dirty, and buy it if you can't wash it off. It's only one piece of clothing, it's only [-]."

It was the same as the price of cabbage, Xin Man secretly pursed his lips, this dress was the cheapest one Xin Xin found.

Sure enough, seeing his third aunt's eyes wide open with distressed expression, she wished she could take it off for Xin Xin immediately, "Your husband bought it for you, it's much more..."

Before the third aunt could finish speaking, Xin Xin interrupted, "What are you thinking, third aunt, I bought it myself, my husband bought it more expensive, so I didn't wear it."

He said he was going to leave with the food in his hand, "Aunt San, you should find a place to rest, you must be very tired from the car, there is a seat there." After finishing speaking, he left.

Xin Man was just about to slip away, but was stopped by the third aunt, "Let me see you young man, you are so handsome."

Xin Man smiled embarrassedly, "Not as handsome as my cousin."

The third aunt looked proud and satisfied, "It's still full of words."

It goes without saying who the one who can't speak refers to.

"Mom, go sit down."

Xin Man was most afraid that his third aunt would pull him to ask questions, and was about to find an excuse to leave, when his cousin frowned, first took his third aunt's arm, waved to Xin Man, and let him go to work. .

"I haven't talked to Manman yet." The third aunt was a little reluctant, but obediently followed her son away.

Xin Man breathed a sigh of relief, took the food and left.
