Chapter 792 Temptation
An Xia followed Xiao Jingsheng, greeted all the relatives, then sat on the chair beside him, and listened to everyone with a smile.
She listened silently to everyone's chatting, feeling the difference between the Huo family and the Xiao family. The Huo family gave her the feeling of sincerity and relaxation, while the Xiao family was serious, and these relatives were not as intimate as the Huo family. Even listening to them, she actually felt an undercurrent.
The Xiao family is very complicated, and this is the judgment made by An Xia after listening to the chat for half an hour.
They had temptations in every word they said to themselves and their mother. The only cousin Xiao Boyu occasionally looked at him with a heavy look in his eyes, which made him dissatisfied? An Xia didn't understand. When Xiao Boyu met for the first time, he was hostile to him.
"An Xia, you used to live in the countryside. Is there anything fun to do?"
The little daughter of the second son of the Xiao family asked, "She is twenty-one this year and only two years old, but she is very thoughtful. Of course, she is not kind-hearted when asking this sentence. She just wanted to make fun of An Xia's previous life, and of course she would not be in front of her third uncle and third aunt. After all, the whole family would make their family three points.
Although the third uncle was valued by his grandparents, everyone knew that Xiao Ran was a sick man in the past, but now the third uncle got back a girl, and he was not a member of the Xiao family if he got married sooner or later. In the end, the third uncle could only pay attention and support his cousin. He was not just a wedding dress for others for nothing. In the future, he still had to flatter his cousin. After all, the rest of the Xiao family lived under the halo of grandpa and third uncle, and this person was probably going to be replaced in the future.
Thinking of the girl holding the strawberries and putting them in front of Xiao Boyu, "Brother, eat strawberries."
"The countryside is actually the same. There is nothing special. The rural areas played on TV are quite real. Every morning, I work until the evening. I work hard all year round, and I rely on the grain in the field. If the harvest is good, I have hope for the future. I have not been in vain. I can eat more dry food at home. If the harvest is not good, the whole village will have a hard time. I have to tighten my belt and find a way to spend the whole year of the next year and wait until the rice is ripe."
An Xia said calmly, with a faint smile on her face, "It's bitter, but because everyone has hope, life is delicious. Even eating coarse grains and cooking wild vegetable porridge. Now when you think about it, it has a different flavor. Many of those wild vegetables are good for the body."
After An Xia said that everyone was quiet. Such a life was too far away from them. They couldn't eat enough food or eat wild vegetables. They couldn't imagine it.
Huo Jingshu blushed and lowered her head. She knew that her daughter had suffered a lot, but she dared not ask or think about it, because those would make her suffer. Now, when her daughter smiled and said that eating wild vegetables when she was hungry, her heart hurt like a knife.
Everyone smiled without saying a word, and then they talked about another topic and continued to talk. Several cousins put the delicious food in front of An Xia, "An Xia, you eat more, I don't know that you had lived so hard before."
An Xia thanked her, looking at the fruits and snacks in front of her, her eyes slowly became cold. How could she not see that these cousins seemed to care about her, but in fact there was a flash of contempt in her eyes.
Xiao’s family is really unpleasant!
In the afternoon, I spent talking and watching TV. An Xia didn't want to chat with these people, so she watched TV by herself, and it was quiet. The meal started at six o'clock. The aunt working in the room arranged the meal. Mrs. Xiao didn't know where she came out and said it was time to start.
Mr. Xiao walked out of the study room, and Xiao Boyu and Xiao Jingsheng came out with him. An Xia found that Xiao Jingsheng's face was not very good and didn't know what happened.
"Sit down, An Xia comes over and sit next to me."
An Xia saw a flash of jealousy flashing in her cousin's eyes, and she was a little puzzled. What's the point of being jealous? Speaking of which, she just wanted to sit next to her parents and didn't really want to sit with this serious grandfather.
However, she still sat obediently beside Mr. Xiao’s right hand. Mrs. Xiao’s left hand was Mrs. Xiao Boyu. There was a huge table, and the whole family sat in a crowded place. An Xia roughly counted and found that it was almost thirty people. The table was just big, like a hotel, with a turntable on it. When eating here, she always felt like she was in a restaurant. When an aunt served the food, the turntable still rotated automatically, everything was there but it was unhuman.
The Huo family also has many people, but there are only two tables. Because there are many people, the elders sit together and the children sit together, which is very lively. Although there are two tables, it does not delay everyone's communication at all. When serving the dishes, everyone works together, and divides chopsticks and bowls.
"An Xia, this is a gift for you. You have been suffering outside for so many years. Your grandmother and I are very happy to have a smart granddaughter like you. Open it and take a look."
Mr. Huo took out a leather box and gave it to An Xia, and asked An Xia to open it. An Xia then opened the box. It was a set of beautiful necklace earrings, with rubies and diamonds combined. The rubies were bright and the diamonds were dazzling. The main stone in the necklace looked the same size as a thumb. An Xia clearly saw the jealous expression in the eyes of her cousins.
"Grandpa, this gift is too expensive, I can't take it. Besides, I don't think I'm suffering. I always feel that my life is fulfilling and happy."
"Accept it, everyone has a gift. You are eighteen years old, and this gift is yours."
An Xia glanced at her father, then thanked her, and handed the gift to Huo Jingshu.
Mr. Xiao was a little satisfied. At least this granddaughter didn't like Lin Yuejiao at the time, and his face was full of greed. Fortunately, he didn't like Lin Yuejiao very much at the time and did not give her a gift. However, when he met An Xia today, he admired the child three times and was generous and had a good temperament. So he deliberately asked his wife to take out a set of expensive ruby jewelry. The first was to show kindness, to show the Xiao family's attention to her, and the second was also a test.
Look at the child’s talk about not being greedy for money. It’s easy to control it. If you are not greedy for money, you should also understand that you value her very much when you see this precious gift.
"Let's have a meal."
An Xia lowered her head and ate the vegetables silently. Suddenly there was a piece of lamb chop in the bowl. When she looked up, she saw that it was picked up by Mr. Xiao. Then she received another wave of jealous eyes. She didn't expect why her cousins and cousins cared about Mr. Xiao so much.
At the dining table, only the sound of bowls and chopsticks colliding, almost no one spoke. Some were also Mr. Xiao, who asked, and others answered, not like the Huo family. At the dining table, they were talking homely, joked, and were lively and relaxed.
An Xia quickly got full in such a dining environment. When she remembered it, Huo Jingshu held her hand down and shook her head slightly.
