Starting from selling lunch boxes at the construction site

Chapter 10
After chatting about the daily life, everyone in the yard fell into a strange silence.

The sister-in-law suddenly smiled and looked at Xu An: "This is Anzi, I haven't seen him in a few years, and he has grown so big. Are you in high school? Are you going to take the college entrance examination soon?"

Grandma Xu couldn't help but hum.

"When will the college entrance examination be completed? When will the college entrance examination be?"

The expression on my sister's face froze for a moment, and she smiled again: "Hey, look at my memory, it's getting worse and worse, I can even remember this wrong."

Then he shifted his target and waved to Xu Kang and Xu Le: "Why are these two children so reckless, I am your sister-in-law, come to my sister-in-law."

Perhaps because of Xu An's existence, the two of them became more courageous.

They yelled at the three sisters in a childlike voice: "Old witch, old demon king, and your followers, my brother is here, I am not afraid of you!"

Everyone present was still for a moment, and the expressions on the faces of the three ranged from shock, shame to anger.

Xu An touched the furry heads of his younger brother and sister, and explained for the two of them: "They have heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood recently, and they all look like bad guys."

"Heh, heh, yes, is it, so it is like this, ha, ha ha."

The sister-in-law walked down the steps Xu An gave, but the expression on her face was still not very good.

The sister-in-law's mother-in-law didn't seem to want to continue dawdling, she raised her hand and wiped her mouth with her sleeve, looked down at Grandma Xu from above, and got straight to the point.

"Dear family, we came today for another purpose besides seeing you. It is to discuss with you and send the two children Xu Kang and Xu Le to our home.

You see that your leg is broken, and you don't know if you can be as agile as before after you recover.The kid Xu An heard that his grades are pretty good, so he shouldn't go to college.When the time comes, you, an old man with a handicapped leg and two children, will have a hard time.

Xu Juan and my family Wen Bin have been married for seven or eight years, and they have never had children.After all these years, I don't think about it anymore.It's just that every family of relatives and friends has a child, and it's so lively, it seems that our family is a little deserted.

This just reminds me of Xu Juan's two little nephews. Xu Juan is their aunt, so she will definitely treat them well. "

When the little aunt was talking, the little uncle looked at her in shock, and immediately asked after she finished speaking: "Mom, didn't you agree to have a boy?"

Before the little uncle finished speaking, he was grabbed by the sister-in-law and explained to Grandma Xu with a smile: "Mom, don't listen to Wen Bin's nonsense. We like boys and girls, and they will be treated the same when we bring them back. We will definitely not be patriarchal." It's the girly way."

Grandma Xu is a bit old, but she is not confused. How could she not understand their subtext after hearing what they said.But Xu Juan was her biological daughter after all, so she still gave her three points of face when she spoke, and didn't stop talking.

"Xu Kang and Xu Le have these two children, and they have a good relationship with his brother. Besides, I just have a bad leg, and I can still walk and move when I'm done. I can still take care of them, so I won't bother you." .”

The little aunt and mother-in-law became anxious when they heard this, opened their bloody mouths, and shouted in pain: "Dear family, you can't say that, you have to think about the future of these three children.

Xu An is now 22, and he will be [-] after finishing college. In two years, he has to consider marriage. At that time, Xu Kang and Xu Le were only ten years old.

Think about it, which girl wants to take care of a [-]-year-old child as soon as she gets married, what is the difference between this and being a stepmother.Don't say you can take care of them, in another six years you will be older, and many things will be beyond your control.

Xu Kang and Xu Le followed Xu Juan, and they must have been raised like their own children.For them to study in the city, they might be able to go to a university in the capital in the future, a bright future.

Do you think this is the reason? "

The disgusted expression on Grandma Xu's face eased a little after these words, and what the in-laws said were all worries in her heart.

But looking at her biological daughter Xiaojuan, when she was talking to her in-laws, she had a look of nothing to do with herself.A pair of eyes flicked around in the courtyard, and when he saw Xu Kang and Xu Le, the expression on his face was even more indifferent.

This kind of performance made Grandma Xu unable to make up her mind and make a decision.Grandma Xu didn't say a word, and it's not easy for other people in the village to intervene in other people's family affairs, so the venue suddenly became quiet.

Xu An realized that it was time for him to stand up.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that you went to Majia Village a few days ago?"

In the silence, Xu An's words attracted everyone's attention, and they all looked at my sister-in-law.

"Ah, this." The sister-in-law felt guilty, but she didn't know what to say for a while, so she couldn't answer.

"Didn't the neighbor Aunt Liu ask you to accompany her?" The little uncle reminded.

"Ah, that's right. Aunt Liu has something to do. I went to Majia Village with her. It happened a few days ago, so I can't remember clearly, haha."

At this time, the third grandma who was sitting next to Grandma Xu made a 'cut' and said coldly in a voice that everyone present could hear.

"My mother wouldn't even come and see her if she broke her leg. Neighbors would come to visit me whenever they had something to do, and even accompanied them to Majia Village. Majia Village is only half an hour away from Xujia Village, so I didn't come back to see my mother."

Without waiting for the sister-in-law's family to refute the third grandma's words, Xu An continued to talk.

"How did I hear that my sister-in-law went to ask the sorceress in Majia Village to have a child. The sorceress said that you are destined to have no children, and you have to adopt a child to have your own child.

I didn't believe it at first, but today, my aunt, you came to the door and said that you wanted to take Xu Kang and Xu Le away. It's hard for me not to believe it.

It has been four years since Xu Kang and Xu Le were born, but they haven't been able to see you a few times, and they suddenly said that they would take you away. No matter how you think about it, you think there is a problem. "

Xu An's words hit Xiao Jiujiu in the hearts of the three sisters, and made them annoyed that they planned to be known.The three of them glared at Xu An, as if they wanted to swallow Xu An alive.

The little aunt was so angry and anxious, she told you in a good voice that it was not enough, but I must expose your faults, right?

They walked quickly into Xu An's kitchen. When she first arrived, she had carefully looked at all the items in Xu's house, and she clearly remembered that the rice jars in their house had bottomed out.

He lifted up the almost empty rice vat with ease, put it in the center of the yard, lifted the lid, pointed to the bottomed out rice vat, and said with high spirits: "You don't care what our idea is, as long as your rice vat is empty. In this situation, Xu Kang and Xu Le can at least have a full meal when they come to our house, and they won't be hungry or cold."

Hearing this, Xu Kang and Xu Le were the first to express their disapproval.The big round eyes stared at the little aunt and mother-in-law, and she retorted childishly.

"We have food to eat, and meat to eat."

"Well, we ate delicious steamed eggs, bitter gourd meat, meat pies, and big bone soup. They are so delicious."

At this time, the little aunt and mother-in-law couldn't listen to anything, and she seized on the matter of the bottom of the rice vat, and kept refuting.

"You can eat meat for one meal, and you can eat meat for another meal. This rice tank has bottomed out, and you can't even eat rice after that. You can only drink porridge water with only a few grains of rice. Ten days and a half months. Can't get a shit out of it."

As soon as the words fell, there were chaotic footsteps outside the small courtyard, and several people appeared at the gate of the courtyard.

"Anzi, I brought you the pork and pork bones you asked for."

"Here are the two packs of rice you ordered, and they have been delivered."

"Oyster sauce, starch, rice vinegar, cooking wine."

"."

There are dozens of things piled up at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing this, the little aunt and mother-in-law who was speaking impassionedly to the bottom rice vat, didn't want to lose again and again, and continued to bluff and yell: "There is no one in the family, and if you buy it for a while, you can buy it for the rest of your life."

After finishing speaking, he put down the rice vat and sat back on the bench in a hurry.

"Dear family, don't blame me for speaking harshly, the truth is the truth, let's."

"Don't talk about it." This time it was Grandma Xu who interrupted my aunt and mother-in-law's speech: "Adopting two children is not a trivial matter. Think about it when you go back, and we will think about it again. Let's do it like this today."

The little uncle was a little anxious, and wanted to stand up and say something, but his mother grabbed him.

"Okay, okay, don't be angry with your in-laws, think about it carefully, we will never treat the two children badly. Let's come back in a few days and think about it carefully."

After all, my aunt and mother-in-law took their son and daughter-in-law and left.

From the beginning to the end, my sister-in-law never asked how Grandma Xu's feet were.

Seeing the three of them leave, the third grandma finally couldn't bear it anymore and cursed directly.

"I said, Alan, the more you live, the more you go back, your mind is getting more and more confused. It's not like you don't know what happened to your daughter after she got married, why are you being moved by her."

Grandma Xu smiled and didn't answer, she reached out and patted the third grandma: "Thank you for coming to help, I will think about this matter carefully."

With such an obvious expulsion order, the third grandma couldn't continue talking about it. After all, it was a family affair.Moreover, Grandma Xu kept looking at Xu An, making it clear that she had something to say to An Zi, so she left.

Walking to the gate of the courtyard, the third grandma stopped for a while, and said earnestly: "I know that the next life will be difficult, but our old bones are still there, and we can still help."

After everyone had left, Xu An closed the courtyard door, and Grandma Xu opened her mouth slowly.

"Anzi, I know you brothers and sisters have a good relationship, but my aunt is right. When you go to college, I am an old man with handicapped legs and two young children. Life will be difficult.

It's true that your sister-in-law is not very good at dealing with people, but she is not bad, she is just a little cold.

I can guess what she came here for, but after waiting for so many years, you have graduated from university and started working. Whether you want to take her back or not is up to you. "

"Grandma, I'm an adult, I can understand many things.

For four full years after my parents passed away, she did not come back.You are her own mother. Aunt Hong called her the day she broke her leg.What happened, no one was seen, no money, not even a greeting.

It's only an hour's journey back from the city, no matter how busy you are, you won't be able to spare two or three hours, not to mention that you were treated in the city hospital at that time, and her place of work is only 10 minutes away from the hospital. Minutes away, it's not impossible to take a trip after work, but has she taken a look?

This person doesn't even care about his own mother, and suddenly came to the door and said that he would take Kang Lele away. Do you think she can treat Kang Lele well? "

"But you are going to study, what will you do with these two children if you are not at home."

Xu An blurted out: "I have no plan to go to college!"

After speaking, he felt bad. Originally, he planned to get his box lunch business on the right track. He would tell grandma about it after he made money. Real money is more convincing than empty talk now.

If it doesn't work, when he fills in the volunteers, he will choose two top universities in China to fill in. He knows his score in the college entrance examination, and it is absolutely impossible to be admitted to these two schools, and he will definitely fail.

If you fail the exam, you can justly stop going to university.

Unexpectedly, I was in a hurry now, so I blurted out this idea.

Grandma Xu glared angrily, she sat up from the rocking chair with a push of her elbows, slapped the armrest of the rocking chair fiercely with her palm, and shouted angrily at Xu An: "What are you talking about!"
