Chapter 8 A Chaotic Day

Sitting at the dining table, Fang Xiao and Xie Fang chatted about their separation over the years, while eating the crystal hooves served by Mother Xie. The time they hadn't seen for eight years was presented to them little by little during the conversation.The two were talking happily when someone knocked on the door, Xie Fang got up and opened the door, but it was Father Xie and Brother Xie who came back together.When Xie Fang saw that her eldest brother had also returned, she pouted and said unhappily, "Brother, don't you want to accompany your sister-in-law? Why are you coming home when you have time?"

"You girl, what are you talking about? Your eldest brother finally came home, what do you think is your attitude?" Father Xie hurriedly complained for his son.

"Originally, yesterday and the day before yesterday, he was asked to bring his sister-in-law home for dinner. How did he answer?" Xie Fang choked her throat, imitating Brother Xie's tone in a strange voice, "Your sister-in-law is busy and has no time to go home. I have to stay with her at home, come and have a look at your sister-in-law when you have time. "

Brother Xie blushed, and said nothing. Father Xie was not happy anymore. If you want to say that the men in their family are a little bit weak, he is afraid of his wife. She is also a strict wife, and the daughter-in-law does what she says and never objects.The young couple argued a few words today, no, the eldest was kicked out of the house by his wife, the eldest did not have more than 5 yuan in total, and he didn't even have dinner.I have no choice but to go home and find him as a father, and fill my stomach first.Xie's father shouted loudly: "Children's mother, hurry up and get some delicious food, the boss hasn't had dinner yet."

"It's okay, it's okay, don't you see that A Xiao is still in the room? The three of you, father and son, are standing at the door and arguing like this, it's not too embarrassing." Mother Xie came out of the kitchen with two dishes , glared at his daughter, and then at his son with his head drooping, sighed and said, "Hurry up and wash your hands and eat, don't let Ah Xiao wait for a long time." Xie Fang received My mother closed her mouth with warning eyes, and ran into the kitchen to help serve the dishes.Father Xie and Brother Xie honestly washed their hands and sat at the dining table.Father Xie smiled at Fang Xiao and said: "I'm really sorry, I let Xiao girl see a joke. By the way, Xiao girl, when did you come back? Has your house been taken back? Let your aunt and Fangzi go together tomorrow Go and clean it up for you, live closer and it’s convenient to come and go.”

"Dad, what are you talking about? The lease term of A Xiao's house is still one week away. This week, A Xiao will live with me. Don't even try to drive her out. If you drive her out, you will be in Drive your girl out." Xie Fang came out of the kitchen with two plates of dishes, and moved the dishes in front of herself and Fang Xiao in dissatisfaction, the meaning couldn't be more obvious.

"Father didn't say that, Fangzi, don't get me wrong. Tonight, your elder brother will stay at home all night, and tomorrow I will let Xiao girl live in your elder brother's vacant room. I have no opinion on how long Xiao Xiao wants to stay. "Papa Xie quickly clarified that this Fangzi and her temper are just as fiery as her mother, and once he gets angry, he really can't stand it.

"A Xiao, eat while it's hot, don't listen to your uncle and Fangzi's nonsense, you, live as long as you like, and don't think we are noisy." Mother Xie took the last dish, put it on the table, and advised Tell Fang Xiao to eat more.

Back then, when her family had an accident, Xie Fang was afraid that she would feel uncomfortable being alone at home, so she took her to her own home. The whole family lived happily for a year and a half until she was admitted to university. For the mortgage, and for tuition and living expenses, she can only work and study. From then on, she can only make phone calls during the Chinese New Year, but she has no chance to come back.Such excitement brought her back to the most difficult and relaxing years of high school.Listening to the aunt talking about Brother Xie's uselessness, and the old man eating less, she also said that Fangzi is getting old, and it's time to get a boyfriend and come back.Then he complained that Fang Xiao didn't know how to go home and take a look once Fang Xiao left.

After the lively dinner, Fang Xiao and Xie Fang wanted to help clean up the dishes, but they were driven out of the kitchen by Xie's mother, telling them to go and clean up Xie Fang's kennel first. sleep.They also cleaned out a corner of Brother Xie's house and let Zhuang Zhuang and Brother Xie live in the same room.

At night, neither of the two boudoir friends could sleep, Xie Fang asked bluntly: "Ah Xiao, for the past three months, you can't take this brace, and you can't turn over casually when you sleep at night. Move back, just live here, with me and my mother watching, I can rest assured."

"That can't be done. I want to take the house back. There is always no one to live in, and the house is not popular. Anyway, our two families are so close. If there is anything wrong, you can hear it by calling. Why bother. Yes. Now, do you know who the tenant of my house is? I saw that the house is tightly closed today, and it doesn't look like someone lives in it. "

"That's right, when I was in school, I yelled on the window, and we could go out together." Xie Fang paused and said, "The tenant in your house, I have been back for a week, also I have never seen him face to face, but I heard from my mother that he is a single old man in his forties, and he often does not come back for two or three weeks. It may be because he is too busy with work, and he never says hello when we meet." The two were talking Then, hearing the sound of the door being pushed in the quiet street opposite, both of them got up from the bed, squeezed to the window, pulled up the corner of the curtain, and looked at the house across the street.I saw a tall man in black, dragging a huge suitcase, struggling to drag the suitcase into the house, and then shut the door with a bang, blocking the two probing eyes from the opposite side.

The two met for a long time, and there was no light in the room. They felt bored and lay down on the bed again, chatting about other things.

This sleep, Fang Xiao didn't wake up from sleep until the sun was three poles high. She opened her eyes and saw a beautiful sleeping face that was still immersed in a dream, and only then did she have a real feeling of going home.Xie Fang's long eyelashes trembled, her eyeballs rolled under her eyelids, she turned over, changed her position, and fell asleep again, which made Fang Xiao want to say good morning to this girl, all of a sudden The smoke cleared.She kicked a certain woman who still refused to open her eyes: "Hey, I'll go to the toilet first." After speaking, she slowly sat up from the bed.She had no choice but to maintain the same posture all night, which made her feel that her whole back was a little stiff, and when she stood up, she used a little force on her hands, which made her whole shoulder hurt.

Fang Xiao just sat up when he saw Xie Fang jump off the bed and onto the ground, put on his slippers, and rushed out, leaving only one sentence: "I'm suffocating, take your time."

Fang Xiao shook his head lightly, slowly put on the slippers, took out the toiletries, and walked to the bathroom.At this time, a man with a chicken coop head came out of the bathroom, was using a comb to soak some water, and was combing his hair one by one.This person is none other than Brother Xie, Fang Xiao hurriedly greeted: "Morning, Brother Xie."

Brother Xie stopped his hand, turned his head stiffly to look at Fang Xiao, and pulled out an ugly smile: "Morning, A Xiao." Then he turned his head quickly and continued to take care of his hair.

"You're so early in the morning, what kind of ghost do you look like?" Mother Xie pointed at Brother Xie's forehead angrily, wishing she could help him press down that stubborn bristling hair.

"Brother Xie, you should wash your hair again. Add some conditioner, it should make it more docile." Looking at the familiar scene, Fang Xiao's mouth twitched, and he quickly made way for Brother Xie to come out of the bathroom.

"No, time is running out. Besides, the toilet is occupied by Fangzi, and the shampoo is on the bathroom sink." Brother Xie's annoyed voice sounded behind Fang Xiao.

Fang Xiao took a look at Brother Xie's half-wet hair, and the corners of his eyebrows were twitching. Could it be that Brother Xie was going to go to work in the company with his semi-wet upright hair like this.She rolled her eyes, Brother Xie has been like a day for decades, he is still so gentle and unkempt, as long as he thinks it's okay, he can't see other people's eyes.

She put her toiletries on the cabinet next to her, then found her shampoo and conditioner from her luggage, grabbed Brother Xie who was about to go back to the room, and pushed him against the sink. Not to mention, I let him put his head under the water faucet, washed his hair briefly, took care of the stubborn lump on the top of his head, and then took out the blower to dry his hair.Seeing him walk out of the bathroom cleanly, Xie's mother praised: "Hey, it's better to be a girl. If you don't see it, you know how to take care of your elder brother. Your daughter-in-law, it's been a long time, and I haven't seen him take care of you. I have cut your hair once. I see, if the two of you continue to fight like this for three days, what will you do when you have a child? Eat breakfast quickly and go to work. "

"Understood, Mom." Brother Xie quickly ate breakfast, picked up his briefcase, and went out.Father Xie also followed Brother Xie out the door.There were only three people left in the room eating breakfast slowly.

"Ah Xiao, after dinner, Auntie will accompany you to the hospital for another check-up, to see if you can change this shelf to something simpler, or simply take it, and go directly to the hospital for recovery. I see you are carrying this thing, but Really exhausted."

"No, Auntie. My stent was specially ordered by the hospital at the beginning, but it cost me a lot of money. I don't want to lose it. Besides, the doctor also said that my bones have been connected. As long as I persist Wearing a brace for half a month to ensure that the bones will not shift, I have persisted for a week, and I will be able to do rehabilitation in another week. By then, I will be able to recover faster." Fang Xiao didn't want to bother to thank Auntie refused.

"Mom, Ah Xiao must be tired after driving all day yesterday. Let her rest at home for a week. Next week, we will accompany her to the hospital for an examination. I have made an appointment for Dr. Gao for her. Mom, You can rest assured."

"Don't worry, how can I rest assured, your brother's daughter-in-law knows how to make trouble all day long, you are already 25, and you haven't even seen a boyfriend, and A Xiao is also injured all over. Sigh, you guys My child, why is there no one to worry about?" Mama Xie shook her head.

Xie Fang stuck out her tongue and pushed the bowl: "Mom, we are done eating, please wash the dishes, old man, A Xiao and I went out to find a boyfriend. By the way, what am I having for lunch at noon today? Me and A Xiao Bring it back when Xiao comes back."

"You will be talkative, how can you buy any vegetables, just remember to come back on time for dinner." Mama Xie waved them away.

"My ears are finally free!" Xie Fang stretched her waist as soon as she went out.

"The guy who was born in the blessing and doesn't know the blessing." Fang Xiao nodded Xie Fang's forehead.

"I have to talk about my boyfriend a hundred times every day. I'll give you the good fortune." Xie Fang gave Fang Xiao a sideways look.

"Thank you, you should keep this blessing for yourself." Fang Xiao walked forward first.

"Unreliable guy." Xie Fang also followed, "I have already told Xiaopang Xiaoqin and Ning Zi, they said that they will come out together to celebrate your recovery after you remove the brace."

"Isn't Fatty in City H? He majored in computer science, why is he back now?"

"Don't mention it. Originally, he was going to work in City H, but he was not good at studies. In that high-end city, the pressure of employment was too great, so he came back earlier than me. However, he is now working in a software company in the city. I do programming in the company, and my life is pretty good. Xiaoqin got married last year, and the one in my belly has been four months. My husband and Xiaopang are colleagues. I heard that Xiaoqin is very good to Xiaoqin. Among the individuals, she has the happiest life. She has a family, a baby, and a husband who loves her dearly. Ning Zi came back with me. His degree was obtained in country M, and the gold content is quite high. He and she met My mother, just tell my mother how Ning Zi is doing well, he is an executive in a foreign company, and now he is back to visit relatives, and he will return to country M next month. That look of complacency makes people hate it."
