The car left the wide road and drove towards a tree-lined avenue. The second aunt pointed to the roads on both sides and introduced, "After this road, stop at the alley in front. Go further in, and the third house is the second aunt's house.
Okay, you guys should remember this road and come here often in the future, you know!"
Along the way, Ling Xiaowei was really trying to memorize the route, and kept observing her surroundings to see where there were restaurants, hotels, shops, and the shopping mall that she cared about most, but she didn't see it.
When you get off the bus, ask your second aunt!
The car stopped at an alley, and the second aunt got out of the car first. The driver also got out of the car, helped to get the wheelchair from the trunk, opened it, and pushed it to the door of the car.
The second aunt opened the back door, helped Ling Guoqiang out, and helped Ling Guoqiang sit in the wheelchair.
Everyone in the car got out of the car, and the second aunt thanked the driver Xiao Wang, and then the driver drove away.
"Second sister, you are spending too much money. You even called a car to pick us up." Ling Guoqiang was a little embarrassed. He really didn't want to trouble anyone unless he had to.
"Why are you being polite to me? That's your brother-in-law's driver. The company assigned him a car. If we don't take the car, it's for nothing. I'm pretending to be a public servant today for personal gain!" said the second aunt with a chuckle.
When Ling Guoqiang heard that this was the case, he felt much less guilty in his heart. At the same time, he was happy for his second sister and second brother-in-law.
Zhang Cuifen, who was standing by, was carrying some fruit and was wondering, what kind of unit is this? It's so great. From now on, I must let Mingming work in such an unit.
The group of people walked to an iron gate under the leadership of the second aunt. The second aunt knocked on the door, and soon the door opened. The person who opened the door was the second aunt's eldest son Yao Jiasheng. Now he is working, but he still looks like a student.
Qi, clean and frail scholarly appearance, wearing a light blue short-sleeved shirt, white pants, gold-rimmed glasses, and a few pimples on his face, he smiled at everyone very politely.
And let everyone into the courtyard.
"This is your fourth uncle and your fourth aunt. These are your brother and sister!" As soon as the second aunt entered the door, she introduced the eldest cousin.
The eldest cousin smiled at everyone kindly and politely, and shouted: "Uncle Fourth, hello Aunt Fourth!"
Ling Guoqiang and Zhang Cuifen nodded. Ling Guoqiang sighed: "Jiasheng has grown so big, time flies so fast. It has been four years since I went back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year!"
The eldest cousin smiled, a little embarrassed.
The second aunt complained to her eldest cousin: "Look, if you don't go back to your hometown to celebrate the New Year, your elders won't know what you look like! No matter how busy you are at work, you should go back and have a look."
"I will definitely go back to my hometown to celebrate the New Year this year." My cousin continued to be embarrassed, stretched out his hand to adjust his glasses, and smiled very restrainedly.
Ling Xiaowei looked at the prosperous eldest cousin in front of her with some emotion. This eldest cousin had just joined the work not long ago. He started as a small village official and then worked his way up step by step. He was highly regarded by the leaders.
As a young cadre, if it hadn't been for that accident, his future future would have been limitless.
What a pity! It’s such a pity that the second aunt’s family slowly fell apart after that!
This is what will happen in five years! But next year, there will be a happy event in the second aunt's family, the eldest cousin is getting married! Ling Xiaowei looked at the eldest cousin with a smile.
The eldest cousin felt a strange look, turned to look at Ling Xiaowei, his eyes lit up slightly, this is the child of the fourth uncle's family? Why is it different from the impression, he is small and cute, and he has grown so big.
"It's sister Xiaowei, right?" the eldest cousin said with a smile.
"Hello, cousin!" Ling Xiaowei grinned at her eldest cousin, showing her big white teeth.
The eldest cousin seemed to be infected by her smile, and he also grinned happily, with a caring smile like an elder.
"Come in the house! Your cousin is watching TV in the house, you should go in and watch it too!" the second aunt said to Xiaowei and Mingming.
The eldest cousin led the way, opened the screen door, and welcomed everyone in.
As soon as I entered the house, the first thing I saw was the black leather sofa lined up against the wall. My cousin was sitting on the sofa, motionless watching the TV on the cupboard opposite the sofa.
Next to the sofa is an Eight Immortals table and several solid wood chairs. There is a fruit plate on the table with apples in the fruit plate.
"Yao Yuetong!" When the second aunt called her cousin, her tone was obviously stern and a little unhappy, "Come here quickly, there are relatives at home, you don't call me, you are not polite at all!"
"Mom, are you bothered? Get out of the way. I want to watch TV!" My cousin's eyes were about to fall into the TV, and she didn't look at anyone else at all.
The second aunt looked helpless. She really hated this daughter, but it was already like this. She didn't expect anything else. If she could get into college, let her continue studying. If she couldn't get into college, she could study whatever she wanted.
Come on! Give it to a good person when the time comes!
The second aunt shook her head and then asked everyone to sit down.
The eldest cousin was very diligent, pouring tea and getting fruits, and then sat aside to accompany the guests.
Dream of Red Mansions was playing on the black and white TV, and the scene of Daiyu burying flowers was playing. Ling Xiaowei used to cry after watching this part! But watching it now, it’s just hypocritical!
She is already past the age of watching this kind of TV series!
So she didn't pay much attention to the TV. It was obviously the first time she saw TV, and it was so novel. She stood in front of the TV and watched it with great concentration.
The second aunt asked about the prosthesis again and asked about the price. When she heard the price, she nodded and said, "The price is about the same... Do you have enough money? I'll give you some extra!" the second aunt said.
"Second sister, no need. We have enough money. In the past six months, our family has made some money." Ling Guoqiang said hurriedly. Second sister really helped him too much.
The second aunt didn't think this was true. How could she not know what was going on in the fourth brother's family?
"Don't be so brave. Just pay the compensation." The second aunt still feels very sorry for this younger brother. As the youngest in the family, he should be the most favored, but in reality, he is the most aggrieved in this family.
.
This younger brother is really too sensible and considerate of other people.
Forget about the past! She looked at the time, it was almost twelve o'clock, and she was going to cook.
The second aunt went out and went to the kitchen to cook!
Ling Guoqiang said to Zhang Cuifen: "Go over and help!"
Zhang Cuifen immediately looked away from the TV and nodded: "Okay, I'll go. If you need anything, just call me!"
The ceiling fan on the roof of the house fanned the wind leisurely. On the TV, Sister Lin was crying like pear blossoms with raindrops. My cousin also had tears in her eyes, looking like she was about to cry at any time.
Suddenly, she looked at the big table, sniffed and said, "What does this smell like? Steamed dumplings?"
"Well, I bought two boxes of steamed dumplings on the way. Cousin, do you want to eat them?" Ling Xiaowei said.
Cousin Yao Yuetong finally took a serious look at Ling Xiaowei. She was attracted by Ling Xiaowei's clothes first, and then nodded and said, "Eat! I like steamed dumplings the most."
