Where is the joy

Today is a grand day.The children of Xu Qing's family are going to kindergarten!

I changed my clothes several times, and planned to bring something to Xu Qing's family.

"I still have a bottle of Moutai here, your father must love it."

"It's expensive, there's no need. It's better for him to drink less wine!"

"Hey, there is still a set of imported cosmetics that have not been opened, can I give it to your mother?"

"My mom never used makeup."

"Then give it to your sister-in-law!" I thought for a while, "What does Auntie like?"

Xu Qing leaned against the door and looked at his watch frequently, and his tone was full of helplessness, "There is really no need to engage in such a big battle. Aren't there crabs in the kitchen, just carry some over there."

"You have to bring crabs, and you can't miss the others. How can you do it with just crabs? It's too rude. As the saying goes, a lot of oil is not bad, and a lot of politeness is not a problem." I panicked in my heart.

"Really, listen to me, as long as people go, they will be very happy."

"How can I do that? Have you ever seen a new son-in-law come to the door and go empty-handed." I refused.

Xu Qing chuckled, and laughed for a while, "You're thinking too much about returning a new son-in-law! Let's discuss it. It's not worthwhile to be a son-in-law. Let's be a new daughter-in-law. Not only do you not need to send things, but you can also receive them! Back then, my sister-in-law When she entered the door, my mother gave her a jade bracelet, which is said to have been handed down from her ancestors, and she also has a pair of jade pendants handed down from her ancestors, which I miss very much."

Hmph, sister, am I the kind of person who can fall for a pair of Kodama pendants!I continued to rummage through boxes and cabinets, and finally, under Xu Qing's urging, I finally set off with big bags and small bags.

When approaching the door of the house, Xu Qing turned around and stopped, holding the crab in one hand, freeing his right hand to hold me, "Nervous?"

I nodded honestly, "kind of."

"They're fine."

"I know. But, after all, it's the first time I've come out to meet my family. I don't have any experience."

"Yes, there will be many such occasions in the future, and we all have to get used to it."

It's strange to say that being led by her like this made me feel a lot more at ease.

The ginkgo trees are beginning to bear fruit, and the golden leaves are falling down from time to time. We walked on the cement road in the countryside, and the crabs in the nylon bags in our hands were thumping, feeling a little beautiful.

"Auntie is here! Little Auntie is here too!" A crisp and cheerful child's voice rang out in the yard, and then a little girl in a pink skirt, like a little radish, rushed out of the room and hugged Xu clear legs.

The little girl was about three years old, she was at her cutest age, her little face was chubby, her eyes narrowed into slits when she smiled, and upon closer inspection, she really looked a bit like Xu Qing.I thought about it in my mind, and I always felt a little familiar.But wait, what's the name of the little aunt?mean me?

Xu Qing's brother and sister-in-law also came out of the door. I have seen photos of his brother, and he seems to be the same as before, thin and dark.He greeted his sister and me, and helped carry the things back to the house. The sister-in-law said with a smile, "Dou Dou heard that my aunt brought her girlfriend back today, so she woke up early in the morning, and insisted on making trouble to see my little aunt." .”

The little guy nestled in Xu Qing's arms, looking at me with bony eyes.

I teased her as I walked, "Your name is Doudou?"

The little guy was serious, "Yes, they all said I was funny, so they called me funny."

Ah, it turned out to be this tease!

The atmosphere was far more pleasant than I had imagined. Uncles and aunts entertained me as if they were old friends. Naturally, I also breathed a sigh of relief.

After all, today's protagonist is Doudou. After lunch, she will go back to the city with her parents.Unexpectedly, the doll seemed to like me a lot. After observing me for a while, she slowly moved towards me and shared her favorite pictures with me.

"Mom said, everyone is an animal, little aunt, what kind of animal are you?" Doudou asked me.

"Is it an animal?" I was confused and looked at Xu Qing suspiciously.

Xu Qing explained, "She means the zodiac, and everyone has a zodiac."

I turned over the picture, and there was indeed a picture of the zodiac on the back. I found my zodiac and told her, and Doudou asked her aunt again. Xu Qing is the same age as me, only a month older than me. Naturally, we also have the same zodiac.

"It turns out that my aunt and my little aunt are both baa baa!"

I teased her, "Then what kind of animal are you?"

"I am an egg."

"Why eggs?" I asked.

Doudou replied solemnly, "It's an egg, because my mother is a chicken, and I was born by my mother, so of course it's an egg!"

It makes sense, there is no way to refute it.

After playing with the picture for a while, the little guy felt that it was not fun anymore, so he hugged Xu Qing's leg again, "Auntie, I shared the picture with my little aunt, am I good?"

Xu Qing patted her head, "Very good."

"Mom said that a good child is one who wants to share. My aunt is a guest, and I want to share ice cream with her, is it okay?"

"Okay, how about ice cream?"

Doudou bit her finger, "I want auntie to buy ice cream!"

……

Her mother held her by the collar with one hand and carried her out, "Xu Xiaoyu, if you buy ice cream from your aunt, see if I don't slap your ass!"

The little girl yelled, "Auntie hasn't bought it yet! You can't spank!"

I laughed and bent over, this little guy is really only three years old!

Uncle Xu is still the chef. Xu Qing said that mom usually cooks a lot, and dad will definitely cook in person on important occasions.When the last plate of food was served, Uncle Xu asked me to sit down again and again, and was going to serve wine, "I remember that Huanhuan likes to drink, come here, let's have a drink today!"

Xu Qing stopped him, "You are the one who likes to drink, you are three high, and the doctor told you not to drink!"

"Huanhuan hasn't come here for a long time, happy!"

"Don't drink!" Xu Qing grimaced.

Uncle Xu looked at me eagerly, how dare I save the situation, last time I drank too much and hugged your girl to chew... I just made a random excuse, "Well, uncle, I have a cold, and I can't drink today Or, let’s drink Wangzai with Doudou today.” The milk brought today just came in handy, “After she goes to school, grandparents won’t be able to accompany her often.”

The whole family agreed, so everyone got a bottle of Wangzai milk!

Chatting during the meeting is commonplace, how is the job, the house is a bit expensive, the loan has not been approved, where to go to school after settling down, and so on.Only then did I know that her elder brother Xu Hai worked in a construction company and often traveled to construction sites outside the province.

I asked casually, "Isn't your uncle in the construction hall? It should be easy to transfer back to the head office."

The sister-in-law also echoed, "That's right, this is still a kissing uncle. Others who are not relatives will come to the door. If Haizi can be transferred back, our family will not have to divide into several places."

Uncle Xu coughed, "To be a man, you must be content. Haizi's university was provided by your uncle! Don't use your brains, you are promising, and you can get ahead wherever you go. Besides, your uncle is a clean and honest official. There are too many people in the town who want to curry favor with him, and he didn’t help anyone. Officials all help their own family members, it’s unfair to others, so it’s better not to help at all.”

I looked up at Uncle Xu in surprise.

The sister-in-law smiled, "I also know this truth, so I'll just talk about it. Anyway, if you work hard slowly, you will have it."

Xu Qing raised the milk in the glass, "Slowly work hard, there will be some. Come on, let's have a toast with Comrade Doudou!"

Doudou stood on the chair and shouted childishly, "Cheers!"

After the meal, brother-in-law and Doudou took the car back to the city, and the little guy cried a lot.

What made me dumbfounded was that each of Xu Qing's brother and sister-in-law gave me a red envelope.I refused to accept Uncle Xu’s even though I beat him to death. Later, I refused and accepted Aunt Xu’s jade pendant. Xu Qing and I each had one. The style of the pendant is simple and elegant, and the texture is delicate and moist. The fur learned from the old gentleman of antiques, this must be an old object.

Well, it's not a question of old objects not old objects.

There are two villains struggling in my heart, and one villain pointed at me and said, He Changhuan, He Changhuan, you actually accepted the pendant from others!Don't pretend to refuse it!The other villain was cocking his legs, shaking his head and wagging his tail happily...

Hey, think about it, life is a handful of onions, ginger and garlic, onions (hastily) for decades, don’t be so particular about ginger, those who don’t have a name, just garlic (forget)!

At that time, I just thought it was an ordinary, ordinary, warm family dinner.

But they don't know that the ordinary and ordinary are so precious!
