"If Zhu Fangting dares to take your lead singer position, I will look down on her for the rest of my life."
The speaker was Hu Baozhu. She did not change out of her practice clothes, but directly put on thick cotton clothes and trousers. She was already fat, and she wore so many clothes, and she was as round as a ball. Because
There is a lot of flesh on her face, and her originally big eyes look a bit slender. She has fair skin and long and voluminous hair. At first glance, she doesn’t look like a dancer at all, but she is the most flexible in the dance class.
of children.
"Teacher Yu said that he won't replace me." Xie Ying said innocently: "As long as Teacher Yu refuses to replace me, it should be fine, right?"
"That's not necessarily the case. Teacher Yu only teaches vocal music. She also has a leader above her!"
Hu Baozhu seemed to be an experienced social person. After hearing her words, Xie Ying couldn't laugh again. Hu Baozhu patted her shoulder and said proudly: "Xiaoying, there is me too! I'm here,
No one dares to bully you."
Xie Ying smiled again, took out a plate of chocolates from her pocket, and said, "My mother sent this. I didn't even give it to my brother. I left a piece for you."
Hu Baozhu took it unceremoniously, and just as she was about to eat it, Xie Ying grabbed her hand and put the chocolate in her good friend's pocket: "Don't the teacher always tell you to lose weight? If she
If you find out, you will be scolded again!"
Hu Baozhu chuckled, lowered his voice, and whispered: "Then I will go home and eat!"
The two packed their schoolbags and prepared to go to the canteen to buy snacks. The two little sisters held their arms, and Xie Ying mercilessly complained about her arrogant, arrogant, and rude cousin. Although Hu Baozhu
I don’t know Xie Chong, but following the wishes of my good sister, I also criticized him: “That’s too much! Your grandparents are such good people, how could you have such a willful grandson?”
"Now the whole family is giving in to him, including me!" Xie Ying sighed: "They all say that my cousin suffered a great injustice, which is why he became like this. He used to be a very good child."
"Didn't you meet him before? How was he then?"
"The last time he came back, the house was being renovated. He stayed in a hotel and didn't go home much." Xie Ying blinked and said, "It seems... he's really not bad. He doesn't talk much, but he doesn't look like that either.
Now like this, everything is wrong, and no matter what we do, he always finds fault with us."
"Then... what grievances did he suffer when he returned to Laicheng?"
…
Xie Ying said with shame: "You really stopped me. I only know that he really likes playing football. Now that he doesn't play, he is very sad."
Hu Baozhu analyzed matter-of-factly: "Look, you don't know your brother well either! Maybe he really gave up a lot of things. In that case... it's normal for him to lose his temper."
Xie Ying blushed: "Although he is my brother, I have only spent less than half a month with him. I don't have a phone at home, and my second uncle and second aunt don't often write letters, so I have no impression of my cousin...
...I only know that he likes to play football and has good academic performance. Now that we live together, I will understand him. It is also possible that after I understand him, he will not be so hateful." Hu Baozhu nodded and said:
"You are my best friend, your brother should not be much different, right?"
"Oh, you really know how to praise people! However, my second uncle's family had no place to go, so they had to go back to their hometown. They felt it was embarrassing and didn't want others to know, so you have to keep it a secret from me."
"Don't worry! I definitely won't tell anyone else."
But Xie Ying didn't expect that his second uncle's whereabouts would be exposed by himself.
Xie Qingyun had something to do, so she asked someone to send a message to her family, asking her family to take Xie Ying home on her behalf. Therefore, as soon as Xie Ying walked outside the Children's Palace, she saw her unshaven second uncle.
Xie Qingshou didn't want to come. If he was recognized by an acquaintance, he would definitely ask questions, which would make him very embarrassed. He parked his bicycle some distance away from the Children's Palace, guessing that his niece's rehearsal was about to end, so he quietly
He came closer. He bent his waist, lowered his head, and covered his face with a scarf. Only his two eyes were exposed, and his expression was quite sneaky.
But even so, Xie Ying still recognized her second uncle at a glance. She waved to him excitedly, and when she was about to call him, he made a silent gesture and shook his head. Xie Ying understood.
Just smiled and nodded.
Xie Qingshou wanted to pull his niece away quickly, but before he touched his niece's little hand, a pair of strong hands pressed his shoulders, and then, an old shout came from behind: "Who are you?
"
Eyes were focused on him one after another. Xie Qingshou was trembling, but he did not dare to look back. He did not want to be recognized by others.
But those big hands stubbornly pulled him back, and the man said seriously: "Are you here to steal the child?"
???
Xie Qing saw that the man looked familiar, so he avoided his eyes and said, "I'm obviously here to pick up the child."
Xie Ying also ran over and said crisply: "Grandpa, he is here to pick me up."
It turned out that the old man was Hu Baozhu's grandfather and his father's old colleague. No wonder Xie Qingshou thought he looked familiar. Old Hu was doubtful: "Xiaoying, are you sure this is your family member?"
"Well! This is my second uncle."
As soon as this statement came out, Xie Qingshou received another wave of attention. If he had come openly, everyone would not be talking about it like this; but when he finally came back, he kept himself tightly wrapped and did not follow everyone.
It's weird to say hello and still want to hide yourself.
Xie Ying had an idea and said: "My second uncle just came back from Guangzhou and was not used to the weather here. He had a bad cold and he covered himself because he was afraid of infecting others."
Xie Qingshou's eyes suddenly shone, he almost burst into tears with gratitude, and expressed his appreciation to Xie Ying. His expression seemed to say - As expected of my niece, you are such an elf!
Everyone suddenly realized it and stepped back a little. Xie Qingshou laughed, nodded and bowed, pretended to cough a few times, and said, "I'll greet you another time, I can't stand it today." He took his niece's hand and hurriedly
Escaped the crowd.
The second uncle is the most powerful on the bicycle. He bent his waist and huffed and puffed, riding faster than his grandfather. Xie Ying swung her feet and said cheerfully: "Second uncle! This is the first time you have come to pick me up.
!”
"……Um!"
"I thought you didn't want to go out and pick me up."
Xie Qingshou was told something that was on his mind, so he could only cover it up in embarrassment: "Anyway, you are the little princess of the whole family! It is my honor to take the princess home!"
Xie Ying smiled and said: "It is also an honor for me to have the big boss as my driver."
…
Xie Ying gently scratched her second uncle's back and said sincerely: "Second uncle, you could be the big boss before, and you can be the boss in the future too!"
"...Thank you, Xiaoying. You are the first to say these words to me in so many days."
Xie Qing's nose felt sore. Ever since the fire in the factory, he had been living in a haze. His family had fallen from a rich man to a homeless poor man. He suspected that he had had a nightmare, but he did return to his hometown in disgrace. He did
...No longer the big boss.
"Second uncle, although grandpa said some unpleasant things, he often praised you to others before you came back."
"Really? I don't believe it."
Xie Ying tilted her head and thought for a while, then said: "Didn't you bring him some wine? He couldn't bear to drink it. Especially the bottle of Remy Martin xo, which he opened last year and hasn't finished it yet. Every time
When he was treating guests, he would give the guests a taste, and then he would hide the wine and not give it to anyone who asked for it. He said that the wine was brought back from Hong Kong by his second brother, and it was very expensive! He was reluctant to drink such expensive wine.
Over time, relatives and friends all know that he has a bottle of 'Love Cough (xo)', and they also know that you brought it back from Hong Kong."
The wind must have been too strong, otherwise why would the corners of Xie Qingshou's eyes be sore? He suppressed it and said disdainfully: "Huh! Your grandpa is a stingy guy! He has a lot of money, but he can't even build a hut!
I can’t bear to drink even a bottle of wine!”
"But no matter how stingy grandpa is, why don't he still give you 10,000 yuan to pay off your debt? I've seen it all."
Xie Qingshou couldn't refute. The old man was reluctant to repair the toilet or drink expensive foreign wine, but the day after his son fled back in embarrassment, he withdrew 10,000 yuan from the bank. When he handed the pile of money to his son
, he was indeed full of reluctance, but he still gave his son the money with his body temperature and asked him to go back to Guangdong and sort things out. Even if the money was not enough, it could at least soothe people's hearts and let the employees know that,
The boss did not run away, but went to raise money.
Xie Qingshou was often scolded. As the second of three children, he was the one scolded the most by his father. After being scolded so harshly, he also thought about running away and flying far away. He must make a career in the world and impress his father.
.But in the end, he still has to "gnaw at his old age". Without the help of his parents, their family would not be able to survive.
"Second uncle, when do you plan to return to Guangzhou? You will definitely come back again, right?"
"Well, I will definitely come back in these few days."
Xie Qingshou's voice wavered.
He didn't want to come back. If it weren't for Guangzhou being too dangerous, he wouldn't have stayed in his hometown to hide from the limelight. If there was a chance to leave, he would definitely leave. But he didn't want others to know this idea.
