Home of Rebirth

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, it is a custom in the north that it is time to start visiting each other.

Mother Xia naturally took her husband and son to Zhao Yuezhen's house with two carps and a large bag of fruit.

This is a well-established habit. There is no need to call and inform each other in advance. At this time of year, the brothers and sisters of the Zhao family will gather together to play mahjong overnight, and the place where they gather is always Zhao Yuezhen. At home, Mr. Xia Yue couldn't figure out why, where did this tacit understanding come from.

The second aunt's house also lives in a one-story house. There are two houses at the front and back, and a large yard in the middle. There is also a plum tree planted in the yard. Xia Yue remembers that when he was a child, when the plum tree had not yet matured, he began to surround it. Turn, at this time the second aunt will always jump out and say: "You can't pick it, it's not a plum, it's a nest of bugs, you can't eat it!!"

This year's Chinese New Year, the second aunt, second uncle, and old uncle all came, but only the aunt and uncle didn't come. I'm afraid it's because of Xia Yue's grandpa's support, and they are separated from their brothers and sisters, so they don't want to come.

Xia Yue went into the house with his parents. Xia Lao San was wearing a wool felt black hat on his head. It was warm and fashionable at that time. It was a New Year gift Xia Yue bought for him. Xia Lao San liked it very much and was reluctant to take it off when he entered the house. down.

The second aunt looked surprised, poked Mama Xia, and asked, "Why is your third child still wearing a hat when he enters the house?"

"That's right, it's bought by my son, I wish I could wear it when I sleep," Xia's mother said with a smile.

Xia Lao San was a little embarrassed, and under Xia's mother's teasing gaze, he took off his hat and carefully put it aside.

Mother Xia couldn't resist the look of pride and happiness on her face, and continued: "This year's Chinese New Year, my son bought a hat for his father, a scarf for me, and a circle of rabbit fur."

As he said that, he took out the scarf that he had just taken off, and showed it to the second and third aunts.

The third aunt couldn't help being surprised, she stretched out her hand to touch it, and said, "Oh, it's quite pretty, this kid is quite good at picking things up."

The second aunt was a little envious, and curled her lips with jealousy: "This son is really not in vain."

The adults gathered to talk and chat, and the children were naturally driven to play together.

Guan Fu, the son of the second aunt's family, felt a little grudge against Xia Yue for not grilling fish for him in the summer, and he had a different nose and face than his face, and even tried to isolate him by wooing other children.

My aunt and uncle's family didn't come this year, so among these children, Guan Fu is the biggest, and he is the elder brother. Naturally, he leads a group of children to play, and holds a small lantern made of a glass jar in his hand, and lends it to the younger brothers one by one. If my sister is playing, she won't give it to Xia Yue.

The small lantern is very interesting, and there are simple patterns painted with watercolors on the glass, and the shadows are faintly illuminated by one point of the candle. It can be seen that it was written by the second uncle Xia Yue.

Although his second uncle is tall and burly, more than 1.8 meters tall, he is very delicate and treats the children very well. Every year when he goes to the second aunt's house during the Chinese New Year, he can play with some toys made by the second uncle himself.

This made Xia Yue miss his father a little bit, and Xia Lao San would also make toys for him.

"Xia Yue, I heard that you passed the double hundred again in this exam?" Zhao Ru, the sister of the second uncle's family, squatted beside Xia Yue and asked in a low voice.

Taking the double hundred test is a very awesome thing these days, but Xia Yue didn't feel much about it, because he, a person in his 20s, would be an idiot if he didn't take the double hundred test in the first grade of elementary school.

Xia Yue nodded, looked at the cousin beside her, didn't have much impression, but vaguely remembered that this girl was quite capable when she grew up, she started dating when she was sixteen or seventeen, and was discovered by her family, his second uncle even Beating and scolding Bie Bie (reading four times) was yellow, and then Zhao Ru had several small partners one after another. His second uncle didn't agree, and because of this, the father and daughter often quarreled.

At that time, everyone said that Zhao Ru was ignorant, but now let Xia Yue see that his second uncle is also responsible for this. In front of him, he said that he wanted to have a son. As time went by, Zhao Ru was sure and thought that if he didn't get attention at home, he would be easily seduced by boys in society.

Zhao Ru is very curious about this little cousin, because her father often hears how good Xia Yue from her younger sister's house is at home. Now let her take a look, it is really good, beautiful and clean, much better than Guan Fu and the others up.

"Hey! My mother asked me to share the oranges with you." Guan Fu held a bag of oranges in his hand, handed one to Zhao Ru, and then picked a bad one from it and gave it to Xia Yue.

wipe! !This wicked child! !

Didn't he just not give him grilled fish? As for holding grudges like this! ! !

Xia Yue was speechless holding the rotten orange, and threw it aside without intending to eat it.

At this time, Li Xin, the son of the third aunt, came over and asked, "Why don't you eat oranges?"

Let him eat the rotten ones! !

Xia Yue really wanted to roar, but he was too lazy to bother with these brats.

Guan Fu said in a strange way: "Now that he has studied well, he doesn't want to eat the same food as us."

Li Xin blinked and looked at Xia Yue suspiciously: "It's okay to eat an orange..."

"..." Xia Yue didn't speak, turned his head and raised his eyebrows to look at Guan Fu up and down, and looked at Guan Fu who had already felt that he was an adult in the first day of junior high school. After a long time, Xia Yue said: "An Qiao opened a family. Game hall, I heard that so-and-so always plays there with friends, have you been there?"

"Of course I've been there. I'm best friends with that so-and-so. Once someone in our class pretended to be aggressive with me. After he found out, he brought more than 20 people to help me beat him." It's very stupid, the stupid Xia Yue can hardly imagine how such a shrewd person as Second Aunt gave birth to such a stupid son.

It's just that as soon as he finished speaking, the remaining children looked at Guan Fu with great admiration, feeling that they already had an elder brother who was a gangster.

Xia Yue shook his head as if sighing, looked at Guan Fu's majestic appearance, and smiled slowly: "Did you skip class?"

"..." Guan Fu was taken aback, and immediately looked at Xia Yue in a panic: "You...don't talk nonsense, I... I just went after school"

"Really?" Xia Yue raised his eyebrows: "It's not right to go after school. The teacher said that you are not allowed to go to the game hall because it will delay your studies. Would your junior high school allow you to go?"

Guan Fu’s forehead was sweating from fear. Going to the game hall is a serious crime these days. If the parents and teachers knew about it, he would definitely not run away after being beaten up, so he stammered: "Yes, you are not allowed to go to the elementary school. We Let go of junior high school”

Trying to deceive Xia Yue in this way.

Unexpectedly, Xia Yue chuckled, got up and walked to the room where the adults played mahjong, and said as he walked, "Really, then I'll ask my second aunt, so I can go to the game hall after I go to junior high school, so I will also go to the game hall." I want to go to junior high school”

"Hey, hey, don't go!!!" Guan Fu was terrified, he got up and stopped Xia Yue.

"Then you give me a good orange." Xia Yue was frightened, it felt so good to bully a child, he not only asked for several oranges from Guan Fu, but also brought a lot of candies, and Guan Fu's newly bought pencil case for the New Year also Let him come.

It is a very novel three-layer pencil case. It looks like an iron box car on the outside. Once opened, there will be three layers like a ladder. Each layer can hold things. It is very rare these days. Xia Yue is going to take it back and give it to him. Meng Huaiyuan.

Just as Xia Yue happily put the pencil case into his coat pocket, he suddenly heard Xia's mother shouting in the outer room: "Son!! Son, come quickly, Meng Huaiyuan called you."

Xia Yue's eyes lit up.

! ! ! ! !

How did Meng Huaiyuan know that he came to his second aunt's house, and how did he know his second aunt's phone number! ! !

Xia Yue didn't have time to think too much, he left his brothers and sisters in the room and ran towards the phone in the outer room.
