Reborn since 2005

On August [-]th, the four of them ate lunch and dinner together.

During lunch, Yan Xin also told Wu Xiuhong that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, a rare reunion night, and the first festival that their new family members spend together. There is no need for the mother and daughter to go back. Let's enjoy the moon together and spend this festival together.

Although there is no formal combination into a new family yet, everyone is meaningless. The difference is only a certificate, and it can be regarded as a family, so there is no need to be so outsider.

After he said that, Wu Xiuhong stopped being pretentious and agreed to stay here today.

Of course, she is still worried about the caged chickens at home. She has to wait until the chickens are in the cages to close the cages and lock the chicken coops, so that it is safer.

And we can't let other people know that she didn't go back at night, otherwise it's not just weasels who will steal chickens, there will be thieves, and it's not necessarily just chickens, and more valuable things in the house may also be stolen.

It's not that the folk customs here are not simple, the main reason is that there are too many people, and there will always be some people who are not simple.

There are three or five unsophisticated people in a village, which can make the whole village feel insecure.

This is a very helpless thing.

The majority will pay for the misdeeds of the few.

But real life is like this. You can't change the world, you can only adapt to it.

It's hard for Yan Xin to say that there is nothing valuable over there, so if you steal it, you will steal it. Speaking of this will only make people disgusted.

I don't have money for a long time, so I can't have the idea of ​​why not eat minced meat.

He just told Wu Xiuhong that he could do it for him.

There are three or four miles between the two families, and it is not easy to go back and forth.

But he bought a new bicycle and can ride there.

Young people ride bicycles fast, and it doesn't take long to go back and forth.

Bai Xiaoling listened, and said with a smile: "Brother, although you mean well, my chickens don't know you. After you pass by, they are not so obedient to the cage. If they are caged, they will run away in a panic. I'll go, I'll go." Just step on your bicycle and go back."

She has a bicycle at home, and she usually pushes it to sell tofu. It is just an old bicycle, but it is better than the old bicycle that Yan Xin sold as scrap today.

Unless she had to, she didn't like riding on such a bicycle, and felt it was too shameful.

Yan Xin's newly bought bicycle looks pretty, and she can accept it, so she took the initiative to propose it.

Wu Xiuhong glared at her, feeling that this daughter was too vain, and wanted to reprimand her a few words, but she swallowed the words again.

——Whether the daughter is vain or not is another matter, but for such a young girl, if she wants to ride a new bicycle, she has to rely on other people, and she is quite a failure as a mother.

Suddenly, I felt ashamed to talk to others.

Yan Xin originally hoped that Bai Xiaoling would do that, but he was too embarrassed to say it out. After all, he was a guest, and it was somewhat unreasonable to ask the guest to do something.

Bai Xiaoling is willing to go there by herself, that is of course the best, so she is not pretentious, and said: "Then it will be hard for you to make a trip."

"The things at home, how hard are you talking about?" Bai Xiaoling said with a smile.

In the afternoon, during the festival, no one went to work in the field.

The two elders are preparing dinner for the evening at home.

The most important thing about the Mid-Autumn Festival is the meal at night. Yan Xin also specially brought some ingredients from Yangcheng. Whether it is from the sea or from the mountains, they are all dry products and it takes time to brew them.

There is also a chicken to be killed at home - after all, in the countryside, there is only one thing, and there is no feast without chickens.

On such an important festival, if you don’t kill a chicken, you always feel that something is missing.

Bai Xiaoling pestered Yan Xin to tell her how to play with her mobile phone, mainly taking pictures and recording videos.

This is quite simple, and it is easy for a young man to get started.

Yan Xin also told her that if she wants to listen to any song, she can go to the Internet cafe to download it on the computer, or use Bluetooth transmission to transfer the song from other people's mobile phone.

——In the case of the current extremely slow network speed, using Bluetooth to transfer files is the mainstream behavior of those mobile phone users.

——If you go to an Internet cafe to download songs, you have to pay an Internet fee. Using Bluetooth only takes a little time.

Yan Xin formatted that old phone and restored the factory settings, but now there is nothing.

Some previously downloaded software is also gone.

He also told Bai Xiaoling what software he wanted to download.

Bai Xiaoling looked at the songs in Yan Xin's phone, and then selected some songs for him to send over via Bluetooth.

It was the first time I had a mobile phone, and I was as excited as a child, and felt magical everywhere.

Seeing her like this, her mother felt a little sad, and felt that she was too incompetent to let her daughter suffer.

At the same time, I am also fortunate that after finding such a family, I will not have to work so hard in the future, and I will have a companion who can take care of each other when I get old, so that it will not bring too much burden to my daughter.

In addition, the children of this family are not opposed to the stepmother's entry like the children of other families, but welcome them, and even strive to promote them.

Otherwise, even if she entered the house, it would not be easy to be a stepmother.

Especially when the child is so strong.

Yan Xin was able to treat her daughter well, which was the most gratifying thing for her.

Although they are not real brothers and sisters, but now it seems that they are not much worse than other people's real brothers and sisters.

There was even a thought in my mind: "How great would it be if they could be a couple?"

Although they have the status of brother and sister, they are not related by blood. She doesn't think there is anything wrong with this.

Taking a step back, even if the policy does not allow their half-brother and sister to obtain a marriage certificate, then she can choose not to obtain a certificate with Dad Yan, and the policy problems will be gone.

For the happiness of her daughter, she can make such a sacrifice.

It's not uncommon in the countryside to only serve wine without receiving a license, and she doesn't particularly care about it.

I just don't know if Yan Xin has a partner.

She asked Yan's father, but Yan's father didn't know. He only said that his son had said yes before, but later he said lightly.

In addition, I don't know what the two little ones are thinking.

It is naturally the best to have that kind of thinking. If you don't have that kind of thinking to force a peace, maybe there will be a big conflict.

She didn't want to ruin the rest of her stable life.

The two young ones get along pretty well, at least they seem to get along very well.

They first played with their mobile phones at home for more than half an hour, and then Bai Xiaoling enthusiastically asked Yan Xin to accompany her outside to take pictures.

Yan Xin was actually a little bit unwilling, but it was hard to refuse. They are almost a family now, and it hurts feelings to refuse.

It's not a real family yet, and the relationship is not up to that point, so some of them can't afford to be hurt.

If the performance is too repulsive, maybe the whole family can't do it.

There is no way but to agree.

Then the two of them went outside and took pictures all the way from the fields, landscapes, people, all the way to the river.

When I got to the embankment, I looked towards the east of the village, saw Feng Xi's home, and suddenly thought of her, wondering how she was doing in Jincheng now.

I wanted to chat with her on QQ, but Bai Xiaoling was right next to her, so it was a bit inconvenient.

——If he could choose by himself, he hoped that he could lie on his bed and chat with Ai Lili and Feng Xi this afternoon.

There are not many opportunities to chat with his two women at the same time unscrupulously, and he doesn't want to waste it.

But there was no other way, if he wanted to accompany Bai Xiaoling, his future younger sister, he could only waste such an opportunity.

Bai Xiaoling took a lot of photos along the way, and deleted more than half of them.

But there are still more than 100 left.

This momentum made Yan Xin quite worried about how long the memory card would last.

Maybe the memory card will explode within a day or two.

Part of it is the scenery, and part of it is the person.

Bai Xiaoling asked Yan Xin to take many photos of her with this old mobile phone, from various angles and poses.

There may be two or three hundred together.

Of course, after the shooting, it was deleted, and in the end there were still dozens of pictures left.

In addition, he took a dozen photos of Yan Xin with his mobile phone.

Yan Xin is now using a more powerful Nokia n95 mobile phone, but he has no interest in taking pictures. During this period, he took dozens of photos with his mobile phone, most of which were Bai Xiaoling.

This is not what he wants to shoot, but Bai Xiaoling's request:

"Brother, your mobile phone takes pictures more clearly, take a few more pictures for me, and then send them to me via Bluetooth."

Yan Xin was a little hesitant at first: "But the photos taken by my mobile phone have relatively high pixels. Your mobile phone may not be able to open it, and the effect will not be much better after opening it."

"I can save it on my phone first, and when I have a chance to go to the Internet cafe, I can upload these photos to my QQ space." Bai Xiaoling said.

Yan Xin was a little funny: "Then you don't have to be so anxious. In the future, technology will only get more and more advanced, and mobile phones will become cheaper and cheaper. When you earn money from work, buy a mobile phone with clearer pictures, or Wouldn’t it be clearer to take these photos with a SLR camera?”

Bai Xiaoling suddenly sighed faintly: "But...but when I get rich, I'm no longer, my youth is over."

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment, wondering why the little girl had such emotion.

But thinking of the perishable youth, I also have some emotions.

It is indeed the case.

Youth cannot be retained.

But the current high-tech can preserve the shadow of youth, which can also serve as a proof when recalling youth in the future, making the memory clearer.

——After he entered middle age in his previous life, he wanted to see what he looked like when he was young, but found that there were no photos of him when he was young.

He didn't even have a graduation photo, and he disappeared after the house in his hometown collapsed.

This is a very depressing thing.

However, there is no such regret in this life. Up to now, he has left a lot of photos, some of which were taken when he was traveling.

There are some photos that are not suitable for more people to see, and they are all stored in the hard disk of the computer, and there are several places.

In the future, if I want to know what I was like when I was young, I have a lot of evidence.

With such emotion, he agreed to Bai Xiaoling's request, and told her: "Feng Xi's company has SLR cameras, 10,000+ ones, and the pictures are very clear. There are also professional photographers and makeup artists. If you go to work there, you can ask them to take pictures for you, and the pictures will be beautiful."

Bai Xiaoling yearned for a while, and then said: "It's too beautiful to be photographed, and it doesn't look like me anymore. Why don't you buy an obvious picture book."

Yan Xin also smiled: "That's true. But it's still possible to take such a set, and it's also a souvenir."

Bai Xiaoling said: "You say that, I kind of want to go to work there now."

"Go, Feng Xi is also very talkative, you are a fellow, she will not make things difficult for you." Yan Xin said.

Then he quickly added: "Of course, you still need to work hard, so that others will not gossip, and you still have a possibility of promotion and salary increase."

Bai Xiaoling stuck out her tongue: "I don't dare to think about promotion and salary increase. I can earn 2000 yuan a month, which is already my limit. If I earn more, I will be cheating others."

Yan Xin smiled and shook his head: "You still don't have confidence in yourself, you have to believe in yourself, you can create value."

While walking, taking photos, and chatting, the time passed very quickly.

By the time they got home, it was already past six o'clock in the evening.

Bai Xiaoling pushed out Yan Xin's newly bought bicycle today, and rode the bicycle back home—to feed the chickens, then drive them into the chicken coop, and then lock up the chicken coop.

Only now did Yan Xin have time to rest. He went back to his bedroom, took out his mobile phone and chatted with Ai Lili and Feng Xi as soon as possible, talking about what he had done today.

When chatting with Feng Xi, I mentioned Bai Xiaoling, saying that Bai Xiaoling wanted to go out to work at the end of the year, and asked her to leave a customer service position there.

Now the four online stores under Jinxi E-Commerce Company are operating very well, the scale is getting bigger and bigger, the sales are getting higher and higher, and more and more employees are needed.

After a period of time, a few employees will be recruited, mainly to do customer service work.

There is no problem in leaving a job for Bai Xiaoling.

He also told Feng Xi that this girl wanted to go to work with him, and if Feng Xi couldn't solve her job, he could only take her to Yangcheng to work.

For such a request, Feng Xi didn't hesitate at all, and immediately replied to him:

"Don't worry, I will save her a job. No one can let her in. My future sister-in-law must let her in."

It seems that I have a lot of face, which makes Yan Xin very happy, and then said to her:

"But don't treat her as your future sister-in-law, just treat her as an ordinary employee, or she will rely on your momentum to fish in the company, and even use your name to do some damage It’s not good for the interests of the company.”

In family businesses, there are many such things.

Many company bosses are reluctant to recruit relatives, because those people feel that they are relatives of the emperor after they are recruited, and they do some messy things in the name of the boss, making the company a mess.

Yan Xin did not want such a thing to happen.

It's just a half-sister, not for that.

Even if it's his own sister, he can't accept such a thing to happen. He would rather give the other party some money to support the other party, and he doesn't want to introduce her into the company and make the company a mess.

So he has to keep an eye on Feng Xi, and don't give himself any face.

Feng Xi: "Don't worry, I have a measure."

After chatting for more than half an hour, it was already dark, and Bai Xiaoling came over after taking care of family matters, and was calling him downstairs:

"Brother, come down to eat."

Yan Xin responded and typed a line: "I'm going to eat, wife, let's talk later."

Then sent this line of words to Ai Lili and Feng Xi respectively, and then put away the phone and went to eat.

The dinner was very sumptuous, with ten dishes in total.

No one drinks, but there is juice and Coke.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, this time they did not eat in the kitchen, but set the dining table in the main room and ate a meal in the main room.

On the shrine in the main room, there is a portrait of Yan's father's dead wife and Yan Xin's dead mother.

The portraits of Yan Xin's grandparents are not in his house, but in his uncle's house, but their relationship with the uncle's house is not very good, and they have not moved around in the past few years.

Qingming will go to the graves of grandparents, Zhongyuan will also burn paper, and when the Chinese New Year is celebrated, the grandparents will be served with bowls and chopsticks for them to enjoy first.

But the portrait is only for his mother.

Eating in such a place, Wu Xiuhong felt a little embarrassed, as if she was a third party, eating under the gaze of the main room.

And Dad Yan was also a little embarrassed, feeling as if he was caught and raped.

The embarrassment of the second marriage is really hard to describe.

Even Yan Xin felt a little embarrassed.

You can only liven up the atmosphere as much as possible while eating, so that they can focus on other places.

After the meal, I moved a small table outside with some fruits and snacks on it.

Two families of four people sat around the table and watched the moon under the moonlight.

This night the sky was clear, cloudless, and the moon was shining brightly.

The two families sat together to watch the moon, chatting while eating, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious. It didn't look like two families anymore, but one family.

Many years later, Yan Xin has forgotten what they were talking about at that time, but he can remember such a night, under the bright moonlight, their family of four spent a Mid-Autumn Festival together.

It was on this night that he really felt that they were one family, not two families.

It wasn't until after ten o'clock in the evening that they dispersed.

After moving the table and chairs back into the house, Yan Xin went upstairs first, and then Bai Xiaoling thumped and followed, yelling as she walked:

"Brother, wait for me."

There are three bedrooms on the second floor, one master bedroom, which is Yan Xin's room.

There are also two small bedrooms that can be used as guest rooms.

In addition to the bedroom where Dad Yan lives, there is another bedroom on the first floor, which is also used as a guest room.

Yan Xin's idea is that the room on the first floor can accommodate the mother and daughter.

I don't know whether Wu Xiuhong wants to live in that guest room with her daughter or with his father, but it's enough anyway.

Seeing Bai Xiaoling follow him upstairs, there was some surprise - what do you mean by following him?
But it was hard to ask in front of Wu Xiuhong.

Waiting until Bai Xiaoling followed him up to the second floor, then asked in a low voice, "What are you doing on the second floor?"

"Come and live here, there is a room here." Bai Xiaoling also whispered.

"Aren't there still rooms on the first floor?" Yan Xin asked.

Bai Xiaoling glanced at him: "There is a room on the first floor, but doesn't our mother want to live there?"

"You two can share a room." Yan Xin said.

"But what if our mother wants to live with our father?" Bai Xiaoling asked back.

"Then you can live in a room alone, wouldn't it be better?" Yan Xin was even more surprised.

Bai Xiaoling said: "But if I live on the first floor, wouldn't our mother be ashamed to live with our father? Wouldn't I be a hindrance?"

Hearing what she said, Yan Xin also nodded:
"It's the same reason. They are all thin-skinned people. They must be embarrassed in front of their children."

It can be regarded as accepting Bai Xiaoling's reason, and then took her into a small bedroom: "Then you can live here."
