MTL - It’s a Stepmother, Not a Sister [70s]-Chapter 121 self-knowledge
Qi Yan and Cheng Mingxi took their children off the train, and before they got out of the train station, they were already blushed by the cold wind outside, and the child in Cheng Mingxi's arms was wrapped in a thick layer Clothes, with a beanie on the head.
"It's too cold here too."
Cheng Mingxi couldn't help complaining and looked at the child in her arms, "Cheng Cheng, are you cold?"
The little boy in her arms shook his head, the boy's hand was in his mother's arms, the first time he went away, he couldn't help looking around in the train station, the flow of people coming and going , all kinds of new things attracted him.
"What are you looking at?"
"I didn't see anything." The boy said softly.
Qi Yan was wearing a thick coat. With something in his hand, he brought his mother and son to the pier against the cold wind. Fortunately, it was near noon now, in such a cold winter and twelfth lunar month. , and only the noon sunlight is still a bit warm.
They have to wait for the boat to pass.
Qi Cheng couldn't help looking around on the pier. He even wanted to break free from his mother's arms and go to the fishing boat that had just docked to take a look. The fishy smell appeared all around, Cheng Mingxi rubbed his nose and walked aside, hugging Qi Cheng in his arms.
She told the child in her arms, "Don't move, be careful to fall into the water."
Not long after, the family boarded the boat with their luggage.
Cheng Mingxi put a coat on the little boy sitting next to him. When he was on a boat in winter, he could always feel a cold moisture spreading into his body through his skin. The man pulled out the bamboo penny, and there was a sound of water.
"Cheng Cheng, don't move."
Cheng Mingxi looked at the rippling river beside the boat and felt dizzy for a while, she was slightly seasick, and her body swayed like the rippling river.
And rushed over eagerly."
"Cheng Cheng's fever was just right before. Don't freeze again these few days. I'm afraid Cheng Cheng will get sick."
Qi Yan said: "It's so easy to get sick, you are—"
"What is it? We are very precious."
"Okay, Jin Gui, watch your mother, I don't think other children on the road wear so much..."
"Can this be the same? It's so cold where Cheng Cheng used to stay? I'm afraid he'll freeze."
"When will I arrive? It's been a few days of train rides, and I have to get on the boat again. It's too troublesome to go back and forth."
Qi Yan: "You're asking for trouble. I said I'll come here alone this year to see my mother—"
"You are here, why don't I and the child come along, and let the child see his grandma."
"She doesn't want to ask your mother to come back to our house, but she has taken root in the mountain city like your brother?"
"You have also experienced this journey. It's too hard, and I can't bear to go back and forth with her old man."
"Mom is now teaching calligraphy well in the Children's Palace and is healthy. As a son, I can rest assured."
"Is your mother really a teacher in the Children's Palace?"
"Why, are you still suspicious?"
"Nothing, I have to see it with my own eyes." Cheng Mingxi snorted inwardly, thinking that there is no other possibility, Cheng Cheng's grandmother said that his grandmother would not come to bring Grandson, maybe he made a random reason.
Her mother-in-law's calligraphy is really good, but whether she can be a calligraphy teacher for others is debatable.
In case she was reluctant to part with her eldest grandson and little grandson, the second grandson in the middle became grass.
"Who did you see?"
"Meet your fifth brother and sister." The reason why Cheng Mingxi followed this trip was because he was very curious about Jiang Shuangling, the fifth brother and sister. He heard from Qi Yan before that the girl surnamed Jiang was the An ordinary rural girl, unexpectedly, suddenly married his younger brother Qi Heng.
Cheng Mingxi knows Qi Heng, she has met a few times, although she is cold and taciturn, this person is indeed an excellent person who can't go wrong, especially People are good looking.
When Qi Yue was by her side, everyone praised the child for being good-looking, not because the child looked like his father.
In private, find Cheng Mingxi as a matchmaker.
Even if Cheng Mingxi said that he brought a son, there are still many people who are willing, and what surprised Cheng Mingxi is that there are several of them that are very good, and they have high eyes on weekdays The girl at the top.
So five years have passed, some time ago, Cheng Mingxi said that he would go to her husband's fifth brother's house for Chinese New Year with her husband, someone remembered Qi Heng, and some people asked about his marriage .
The blue face is also a disaster.
"You fifth younger brother and sister, you are not as simple as you seem, you must be a man of skill." Although Cheng Mingxi has not really met the fifth younger brother and sister Jiang Shuangling, she has seen a few photos of each other. Although the woman looked gentle and beautiful, Cheng Mingxi felt that this woman was definitely not simple.
A rural girl can grasp a man like Qi Heng, and the scheming in it can be seen, not to mention that she can make Qi Yue obediently call her mother, and she will stay after her mother-in-law comes. In four or five years...
This younger brother and sister is unpredictable.
Cheng Mingxi felt that she would definitely come to see this unusual concubine.
Qi Yan: "...Anyone with a wrist? What kind of wrist? It's good for me to look at my younger brother and sister."
Cheng Mingxi squinted her eyes in disgust, "What do you men think about women, you are blind."
Qi Yan: "When did I become blind?"
"I'll just say that the cousin surnamed Bai from Mrs. Su's family runs to the yard every day, who doesn't know who she likes..."
Qi Yan: "Who do you like?"
Cheng Mingxi asked, "Whose wife died last year?"
Qi Yan: "You can't talk nonsense."
"You are as blind as you are bald."
Qi Yan: "I don't talk like that with you."
Jiang Shuangling went down with Qi Heng to pick up someone, "Second brother and second sister-in-law are coming over today? Did you call just now?"
"Look, it's almost time."
"Go and wait."
"Qi Heng, I'll pick you up with you!"
Jiang Shuangling and Qi Heng were about to go out when a swish dwarf winter melon ran over, holding a small windmill in his hand. spin up.
"Mom, Dad, where are you going?"
"Go pick up your uncle and auntie, and cousin, their family is coming to our house for the New Year."
"Cousin?" Qi Hui paused while holding the small windmill, wondering, "Hui Hui only has one older brother."
He obviously only has one brother Qi Yue.
"You little goldfish forgot, my mother told you before that you have a cousin named Qi Cheng, brother Cheng Cheng, who is a few months older than you."
"Brother Cheng Cheng?"
Jiang Shuangling: "Yes."
"Can I eat it?"
Jiang Shuangling choked speechlessly, "Did you not listen to what mom said? It's brother Cheng Cheng, just like your brother Qi Yue, he is a person and your brother."
"Oh." Qi Hui took the small windmill and nodded.
"But oranges sound like edibles."
"It's not Cheng Cheng, it's Cheng Cheng. When you come back, mom will teach you to write the name of Cheng Cheng's brother."
"The more you practice calligraphy, the more you will remember."
Qi Hui wrinkled his face and regretted asking.
"Mom..."
"What? Mom and Dad are going to pick up your cousin Cheng Cheng."
"I'm going with mom."
"Okay, come, come along."
Qi Heng and Jiang Shuangling brought Huihui down the mountain together, Qi Hui still had his little windmill in his hand, this little windmill was his favorite recently, and he had to take it with him wherever he went superior.
This small windmill is made of bamboo by Qi Yue for him. When the wind blows, the five small windmills rotate together, and the thief pulls the wind.
So it is Huihui's favorite.
The three quickly finished the mountain road, Qi Heng hugged Qi Hui, Jiang Shuangling tried to look at the end of the river, and they stood on the shore waiting for the arrival of the second brother and second sister-in-law.
"Qi Heng, we haven't seen your second brother for a long time."
Qi Heng nodded.
"The last time you saw your second sister-in-law was five or six years ago..."
"Yes."
"What is your second sister-in-law like?" Jiang Shuangling was a little curious about this new second sister-in-law. In fact, she had heard Zhao Yinghua say something about Qi Heng's second sister-in-law Cheng Mingxi before, of course. , Zhao Yinghua didn't say much, just said that she was a woman who matched Qi Yan quite.
Specifically, what kind of pot goes with what kind of lid, it is said that the second brother and second sister-in-law used to be friends with each other when they were young, and they could often fight each other. The second sister-in-law also laughed at him for being bald when he was young , Qi Yan was so angry at the time, and then he decided to shave his head.
This is good, after shaving his bald head, Qi Yan's appearance rose along with his shiny bald head...
—This has to admit that some people look good only if they don’t have long hair.
—“You? Qi Yan?”
—"I didn't expect you to look so good-looking."
—“Still not having long hair is for you.”
In this way, the two began to talk about the object.
…
The storyline of brother and sister-in-law heard from Zhao Yinghua is probably like this.
Zhao Yinghua: "As a mother, I think ha, the second child still doesn't have long hair and looks good, he shaved his head, he looks much better than him with a head of scum, it is estimated that God deliberately let him He doesn't have any hair on the top of his head."
"The second child is still trying to find a way, and he wants to find some old Chinese medicine for conditioning the top of his head. I don't think he should look for it."
"He looks good without hair!"
…
In this way, the second brother must be thankful that he was born bald.
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
After talking about what happened before, Zhao Yinghua added to Jiang Shuangling: "Little Jiang, you don't have to worry about Xiao Wu, Xiao Wu can't, our family is the second child, I don't know why there was an accident in the middle. ."
"You told Huihui that the monkeys would lose their hair if they eat too much salt and peanuts."
"I guess when I was pregnant with my second child, I also ate more salted peanuts..."
Jiang Shuangling couldn't help laughing and crying: "No no no, Mom, this has absolutely nothing to do with salted peanuts."
"Anyway, don't worry about it, Xiao Wu he-"
Jiang Shuangling looked left and right, rubbed up secretly and whispered, "Mom, I really want to see what Qi Heng's bald head looks like."
Zhao Yinghua was stunned for a moment, then looked at Jiang Shuangling with an incredible look, "...?"
Jiang Shuangling smirked.
Xiaowu, go get a shave and try."
Jiang Shuangling: "...?"
"Mom, shouldn't this be you-" Jiang Shuangling made a "please" with a small hand.
The dog man cares about his hair very much, so he can't choose a bald head easily. Comrade Xiao Jiang feels that this kind of task should be left to other comrades to complete.
For example, Comrade Zhao Yinghua is a good choice.
However, Comrade Zhao Yinghua didn't think so, she pretended to be sad and sighed: "Xiao Wu is his daughter-in-law, you are his daughter-in-law, he listens to your words, You ask him to shave his head, Xiao Wu will definitely not say anything."
Jiang Shuangling: "...I think he not only has two words, but also three words, four words, five words and six words."
Zhao Yinghua's mouth twitched: "How can he say so much?"
Jiang Shuangling: "Yes."
Passing by, Qi Heng suddenly stood in front of the two of them, raised his brows gently, took off his hat gracefully, revealing his black hair, his tone was a bit deep Dangerous, "What are Mom and Jiang Mei talking about?"
Zhao Yinghua: "...what about your second brother and second sister-in-law."
Jiang Shuangling: "Yes."
The task of persuading Comrade Qi Heng to shave his head failed just because Comrade Zhao and Comrade Xiao Jiang were not determined.
The north wind was blowing on the bank of the river in the twelfth lunar month. When Jiang Shuangling asked about the situation of the second brother and the second sister-in-law, Qi Heng just answered casually: "My second sister-in-law is not the same as my second brother. "
Jiang Shuangling couldn't help laughing and crying: "...how could it be similar?"
Qi Heng: "Didn't they say husband and wife are of one mind?"
Jiang Shuangling: "...One heart? So it's almost?"
Qi Heng gave a soft "um".
Jiang Shuangling smiled, "You're a 'uh', Comrade Qi, you talk nonsense, do you think we are similar?"
Qi Heng has no psychological burden, "Almost."
"The difference is too much, okay! ∑ Luzhi, open your eyes and see, the difference in our hair is at least twenty little Huihui."
Qi Hui, who was holding the small windmill, was stunned for a while, wondering why he suddenly joined his parents' war.
"Then you are overestimating your brother's hair. It is estimated that it is thirty or forty Xiaohuihui."
Qi Hui: "????"
Xiao Huihui, who inexplicably became a "quantifier", raised her hand and grabbed her short hair.
Children Qi Hui asked curiously, "Mom, what does thirty Huihui look like?"
Jiang Shuangling: "Ask your dad."
Qi Hui tilted his head to look at Qi Heng, "Dad?"
Qi Heng stroked his hair, "You can pull a piece of mother's hair to know."
Jiang Shuangling jumped aside immediately, and said with disgust: "You father and son are too much.
Qi Hui took the small windmill and shook it, "Mom, Huihui wants to pull your hair."
Jiang Shuangling said righteously: "Don't pull my mother's hair, Qi Heng, look at you, you teach a good son."
"Dad, there are thirty Huihuis in one hair of mother, so how many Huihuis are there in total on mother's head?"
Jiang Shuangling: “…”
This is probably an unsolvable world math problem.
"Mom is just a Huihui cub like you."
More scalp tingling.
A full head of Huihui or something, this description sounds terrible.
Jiang Shuangling and Qi Heng took Huihui and stood on the shore and talked to each other, they didn't feel cold in the cold wind, and the waiting time was not difficult to speak, waiting for about half an hour After an hour, I finally saw the shadow of the ship on the water.
The second brother and the second sister-in-law are on the boat.
Although Jiang Shuangling did not recognize the specific appearance of the people on board, Qi Heng recognized the shape of her own brother and nodded, confirming that the person on board was Qi Yan.
"The one standing next to me is the second sister-in-law, and Huihui's cousin Cheng Cheng."
"Orange?"
"Cousin Cheng Cheng."
Qi Heng's second brother saw them and waved in their direction, "Little five, fifth brother and sister!
The boat stopped and docked, Jiang Shuangling helped the second sister-in-law and the child get off the boat, "Second brother and second sister-in-law, this journey has been hard."
"Five younger siblings, I haven't seen each other for many years."
"This is Huihui."
"Er Uncle, Er Auntie, Brother Orange Orange! It's enough to force her to go around her mouth. As soon as she opens her mouth, she shouts loudly.
"Hello, fifth brother and sister." Cheng Mingxi smiled and looked at Jiang Shuangling in front of him.
Jiang Shuangling nodded at the second sister-in-law, Cheng Mingxi in front of him had short and capable hair, wearing a thick army green velvet hat, holding a five-year-old boy in her arms, the boy was white and clean, The nose of the child resembles his father Qi Yan, and most of the others resemble his mother.
He is a handsome little boy.
Children Huihui with a small windmill escaped from his father's arms and asked himself to keep his feet on the ground, Qi Heng put him on the ground.
Cheng Mingxi also put down the little boy in his arms, Qi Cheng stared curiously at the small windmill in Huihui's hand.
"Aunt and uncle."
Qi Cheng called someone.
When the two little boys stood together, the adults realized that these two children, who were not too far apart in age, were obviously a little younger than Qi Hui, but he was bigger than Qi Cheng. to be higher.
"Brother Cheng Cheng, have you caught the monkey?"
Jiang Shuangling: "?????"
Not all brothers in the world can catch monkeys!
Qi Cheng: "??! Monkey?"
The adults next to her were also confused.
"Brother Cheng Cheng doesn't catch monkeys."
Qi Hui: "...Why? Mom, why doesn't my brother want to catch monkeys?"
Qi Cheng: "I want to catch the monkey."
Qi Yan, Cheng Mingxi: "????!
What catches monkeys?
"Let's go back together first, don't stand on this shore and let the wind blow."
Qi Heng helped with the luggage, Qi Yan refused to let him help, and insisted to come by himself, of course, Qi Heng took it up the mountain later, they were not used to this mountain road, Qi Yan would The child was in his arms, and Cheng Mingxi was panting and climbing up beside him. Although he was not used to it, the two of them had good physical strength, and they were much better than when Comrade Xiao Jiang went up the mountain for the first time.
Children Qi Hui was holding a windmill with a lot of power. He ran and stopped alone on the mountain road, or circled around the adults. Seeing this, Qi Yan said: "Hui Hui, be careful. , don't fall."
"Dad, I want to go by myself." Qi Cheng, who was in Qi Yan's arms, looked at Qi Hui who was running wildly on the ground and envied.
"Then hold Dad's hand."
"I want to go with Huihui."
"That's it."
"Wait, hold hands with your mother, be careful to fall." Cheng Mingxi looked at the surrounding environment, but still was not at ease with Qi Cheng walking alone, and called the child over and pulled him by himself.
Jiang Shuangling also called Erha, who was running around in her own house, to hold her hand, "Huihui, just like my brother, hold my mother's hand."
Cheng Mingxi glanced at Jiang Shuangling in surprise and smiled at her younger brother and sister.
Qi Cheng saw Qi Hui holding his mother's hand, and he also held Cheng Mingxi's hand. Cheng Mingxi was slightly taller than Jiang Shuangling, and he had to bow his waist when holding Qi Cheng.
"Second brother and second sister-in-law, it's coming soon."
Arriving at the gate of the yard, Qi Hui, this little broken child, saw his yard, and immediately broke free from his mother's hand, opened the yard door non-stop, and ran happily in the yard.
Qi Yan entered the door and said in surprise, "This yard is quite big. There are about ten houses in total."
"Well, plus the warehouse over there, there are more than ten."
An empty house has been cleaned up in advance for the arrival of the second brother and the second sister-in-law. After Qi Yan put down his luggage, he walked around the yard with Cheng Mingxi, "This house is pretty good. It's big, and there's a small hot spring pool over there."
"It's a good place."
Cheng Mingxi nodded, "It's just that the road is not easy to walk."
"Our mother is not at home today?"
"She and Ah Yue won't come back from the city until the evening. Second brother and second sister-in-law, come have a cup of tea."
Cheng Mingxi was a little surprised when she heard Qi Yue's name. Speaking of which, she hadn't seen this child for many years.
"Brother! [Si Huo∧Tangwa. £ After the slogan... When the coin was returned by a few people, there was no need to make any other noise, Qi Hui, the natural loudspeaker, had already Began to beep and beep.
As soon as Jiang Shuangling heard his small horn, she couldn't help saying to Qi Heng beside her, "Our child's voice is really loud."
This voice can be compared with that of slaughtering pigs.
"Every time Mr. Xie sees me, he tells me it's a pity..." Speaking of Qi Hui's loud voice, Jiang Shuangling couldn't help but think of the "tenacious" Mr. Xie.
Teacher Xie still thinks maybe? perhaps? There is a glimmer of hope in my heart, and I feel that Qi Hui's child is a "late bloomer" that can be made.
Jiang Shuangling thinks that their family Xiao Huihui's louder and louder voice is thanks to Teacher Xie's teaching. Although the singing is still out of tune, the voice is indeed full of energy, loud and pleasant.
As long as Teacher Xie doesn't open his mouth to teach him to sing.
Qi Heng didn't quite understand the origin, so he asked curiously, "What a pity?"
Jiang Shuangling looked at him and smiled, "It's nothing, you still don't know, then Teacher Xie looks at you, it's a pity."
Qi Heng: "…"
"Do you feel that Huihui's voice is getting louder and louder? Thanks to Teacher Xie for training."
Qi Heng: "...Huihui has a talent for singing?"
Jiang Shuangling spread her hands: "It's hard to say whether Huihui has a talent for singing, but Comrade Qi Heng, you need to have a little self-knowledge."
Do you need to ask others about the off-key talent you passed on to your son?
The Qi Yan couple who heard the two chatting: "?????"
Qi Yan jokingly said, "Brother and younger sister, you two little husband and wife are talking like a password, and the second brother can't understand."
Cheng Mingxi laughed beside him, "What's wrong with this, my younger brother and sister said that if Teacher Xie sees you, it's a pity."
Qi Yan: "What do I regret?"
Cheng Mingxi: "You need a little more self-knowledge."
Qi Heng: "…"
Jiang Shuangling: "?????"
