Chapter 542 The thick skin is getting thicker

On the second day of junior high school, the Feng family began to go out to visit relatives.

Feng Xi didn't want to go with him, she wanted to stay with Yan Xin.

But Yan Xin persuaded her a few words, telling her not to worry about it for a day or two, and just go when you should go.

Relatives are still needed, otherwise others will think that she looks down on poor relatives because she is rich, and she will not be able to gain a foothold in this place in the future.

Feng Xi was not satisfied with whether he could gain a foothold in the local area, and said with a sneer: "You have a house in Yangcheng, and I also have a house in Beijing. If you can't live here, is there no other place to go?"

Yan Xin said: "That's not what I'm saying. I still miss my hometown a little bit. If we can get along well, there is no need to become a stranger. It's not a big price to just walk around in the past two days."

Feng Xi finally listened to his advice and gave up her plan to be with him. On the second day of the second year of junior high school, she went to her grandfather's house with her family.

After eating breakfast at her house, Yan Xin returned to his own house.

That morning, mother and daughter Yan's father and Wu Xiuhong, who were visiting relatives, also came back.

In the next few days, they would go to multiple relatives' homes to pay New Year greetings as if they were rushing to a party.

At first, Yan Xin's family conditions were not good, and some relatives stopped contacting him.

But some relatives continued to walk.

Those relatives who are moving will continue to move no matter what happens in the future.

Some relatives who had stopped moving began to move around again after their family's condition improved.

Dad Yan is a kind-hearted person and he will continue to move around, but Yan Xin doesn't want to go to them to pay New Year's greetings during the New Year.

He didn't object to Yan's father walking around with those relatives. When those relatives came over, he would greet them with a smile, but he didn't want to go there himself.

Counting now, there are more than a dozen relatives who are going to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival.

But the good thing is, it's not very scattered.

Those who are more intimate will go to the other person's house for a meal or something, and those who are more intimate will stay one night.

Some of the more common ones are to go there with gifts and say New Year greetings, sit there for half an hour, and then go to the next house.

My family owns a van, which is very convenient. I can visit several relatives a day.

On the second and third day of the lunar month, we all went out to pay New Year greetings and also lived outside.

It started to snow on the night of the second day of junior high school, and by the third day of junior high school, the ground was all white.

The snow is not thick, but the weather is too cold.

On the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, Yan Xin left his relatives' house and drove to his uncle's house. He gave New Year greetings to several uncles and aunts in one go and gave them gifts. He didn't even eat lunch, so he drove straight home.

This round of New Year greetings is almost over.

When she got home, the first thing Bai Xiaoling did was rush to the second floor, still shouting:

"It's too cold outside! You have to turn on the air conditioner and heat quickly, otherwise you will die."

The snowy weather is indeed quite cold.

Especially when I just got off the air-conditioned car, the cold wind made me shiver.

While waiting for Wu Xiuhong to unlock the door, she was already so cold that she was jumping at the door.

Wu Xiuhong also said to her: "Don't you need electricity to turn on the air conditioner? If you are afraid of the cold, let's light up the fire in the kitchen now. Wouldn't it make it warmer?"

"No, no," Bai Xiaoling said, "There is too much smoke from the fire, which will damage your eyes. And my expensive clothes are not worth it if a hole is burned by sparks."

Yan Xin also smiled and said: "Mom, it's okay. Turning on the air conditioner only costs a few kilowatt-hours of electricity. We don't need that money - isn't making money just for enjoyment?"

Wu Xiuhong had no choice but to say:
"Then you go up and turn on the air conditioner. I'll ask you to come down to eat when the meal is ready."

Bai Xiaoling said the next sentence from upstairs:
"The food is ready. You don't have to come in person to ask for it. Just make a phone call."

"Money will burn you." Wu Xiuhong said.

Yan Xin shook his head with a smile and went up to the second floor.

Opening the door of his bedroom, he found Bai Xiaoling already sitting on his bed, her legs covered by the quilt, and the air conditioner in the room was turned on.

He was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here?"

"If it's not here, then where should I go?" Bai Xiaoling asked him.

"Shouldn't you go to your room?" Yan Xin said.

"It's cold." Bai Xiaoling said.

"Turn on the air conditioner. Isn't there air conditioning?" Yan Xin was speechless.

"Brother, this is too wasteful," Bai Xiaoling said confidently, "turn on one air conditioner in your room, and another air conditioner in my room. If both air conditioners are turned on at the same time, how much electricity will be wasted? It's better that the two of us are in the same room. , only turning on one air conditioner can save half of the electricity."

That makes sense.

Yan Xin felt unable to refute.

Bai Xiaoling took out a deck of cards from the bedside and said with a smile: "Brother, I'm bored just sitting here, let's play cards."

Yan Xin had no objection.

On a cold day, it was okay for the brother and sister to sit on the bed and play cards.

If you don't even play cards and just sit there, it will be a bit unclear.

The weather was indeed a bit cold. The air conditioner had just been turned on and it didn't warm up so quickly.

He also got on the bed, but he sat at the end of the bed and stretched his legs under the quilt.

As soon as her legs were stretched in, Bai Xiaoling's legs were close to her, and she said with a smile: "Get closer, it will be warmer."

This is also true.

Yan Xin didn't say anything.

Start playing cards and fight Landlord again.

It's just that in order to avoid being guessed, some cards are hidden every time and are useless.

"Betting or something?" Yan Xin asked.

Bai Xiaoling rolled her eyes and said with a smile: "How about we bet on something more exciting, taking off clothes? Who loses..."

"Get lost!" Yan Xin interrupted her politely.

He found that his younger sister was getting thicker and thicker.

You dare to say such bold words.

Aren't you afraid of your parents coming over suddenly in broad daylight?

Bai Xiaoling stuck out her tongue: "Why is it so fierce? If you don't dare to bet on something so exciting, then just bet money."

During the card game, Bai Xiaoling was quite honest and didn't make any small moves.

Just playing cards.

It didn't take long for the room to become warm.

It's warmer inside the quilt.

The two of them played a few games, and Yan Xin's cell phone beeped, bringing in a QQ message.

When I opened it, I saw a message from Feng Xi:
"Husband, are you home now?"

"Just got home." Yan Xin said.

The two of them chatted on QQ last night. Yan Xin said that he would go home after paying New Year's greetings to some uncles and aunts today, so Feng Xi sent such a message.

Feng Xi: "Prepare my meal, and I will come to your house for lunch later!"

Yan Xin was somewhat happy.

But when I looked at Bai Xiaoling sitting on the bedside, I felt a little guilty again.

There seems to be something inappropriate about this scene.

If Feng Xi saw it, he would be very angry.

But he still replied: "Okay!"

After finishing the chat, he said to Bai Xiaoling:
"Your sister-in-law will be here soon." Bai Xiaoling's face suddenly fell, her legs unconsciously retracted, and she asked:

"How long will it take to come here?"

"She said she would come over for lunch, so it won't be long." Yan Xin said.

Bai Xiaoling said with a grimace: "It's snowing outside, and we have to come here. Isn't she afraid of the cold?"

"It's not a long way, it shouldn't be very cold." Yan Xin said.

However, I went through the road from Feng's house to my own home in my mind. It was indeed not far by car, but it would take half an hour by walking.

It was still quite cold after walking for half an hour in the snow.

I thought to myself: "She is really good to me."

Another touch.

Then he took out his cell phone and called Wu Xiuhong, who was preparing lunch in the kitchen downstairs, and told her that Feng Xi would come over for lunch and cook for one more person.

After finishing the round in her hand, Bai Xiaoling put away the cards.

Yan Xin was surprised: "What's wrong? Stop playing?"

"No more fun," Bai Xiaoling said with an embarrassed smile, "I'd better go down and see how the food is doing."

Yan Xin knew that this girl was afraid that Feng Xi would come and catch her, so she wanted to leave the scene of the crime.

Then he smiled and said, "Okay, you go down, it's a bit cold outside, I'll go down later."

"Hmm."

Bai Xiaoling got off the bed.

Wearing cotton slippers, she stood in front of the bed but didn't move.

Yan Xin was curious: "Why don't you leave? What are you doing standing here?"

"Give me a hug." Bai Xiaoling requested.

Yan Xin was quite helpless: "Aren't you afraid that your sister-in-law will come over and beat you to death?"

"Isn't she here yet?" Bai Xiaoling said, "When she comes, there will be no chance."

Yan Xin was also afraid that he would quarrel with her here and irritate Feng Xi.

I can only open my arms: "Come on, come on, hurry up."

Bai Xiaoling finally laughed again, leaned down from the bed and gave him a big hug. They hugged him for half a minute, and said in his ear:
"Brother, you feel so warm."

After saying that, he let go of him and left.

Yan Xin was in a daze, thinking: "Why didn't she kiss me secretly this time?"

After Bai Xiaoling left, she moved from the end of the bed to the head of the bed.

It’s not easy to play poker alone, so I can only play on my mobile phone.

After more than ten minutes, I heard several horns blaring downstairs.

Within a few minutes, I heard footsteps outside the door, and then the door clicked open, and Feng Xi came in with Bai Xiaoling.

Yan Xin was surprised and happy: "You're here so soon?"

"I just came back from visiting an aunt's house for New Year's greetings. My brother drove me here," Feng Xi said.

Walking to the bedside, I asked him again: "Why don't you go downstairs to warm up by the fire? Wouldn't it be more lively for the whole family to warm up by the fire together?"

Bai Xiaoling answered on her behalf: "My brother is afraid of smoke."

"Hypocritical."

Feng Xi said something, then took off her shoes and went to bed, squeezed in next to Yan Xin, put her hands directly into his clothes, and said with a smile:

"It's cold outside, let me warm up."

Yan Xin hugged her: "How pitiful."

Bai Xiaoling stood aside and watched with envy.

Feng Xi allowed herself to warm up a little, and when she saw Bai Xiaoling standing aside, she said:

"Why are you standing there stupidly? Aren't you cold? Come up quickly."

"Yeah, yeah, okay, okay."

Bai Xiaoling woke up from a dream and went to bed.

However, she was quite conscious and stayed at the end of the bed without squeezing past.

Next, the three people started fighting the landlord.

While playing cards, they talked about their respective New Year greetings.

According to Feng Xi, it was extremely boring.

It was cold, boring, and felt like hard labor.

He told Yan Xin: "I won't go there next year. I'm so anxious that I won't even go home to celebrate the New Year."

"That's not the case, we still have to go home to celebrate the New Year," Yan Xin said, "but by then we will all be married. Even if it is New Year's greetings, we will go there together, so it won't be so boring."

"That's true." Feng Xi became happy again.

Bai Xiaoling was stunned: "Brother, sister-in-law, are you planning to get married this year?"

"I have this idea," Feng Xi said, "take some time to get married, so as not to have others gossip about us if we stay here for a few days."

"Very good..." Bai Xiaoling laughed blankly, but she still felt a little sour in her heart.

I knew that such a day would come, but hearing them talk about it still made me feel a little uncomfortable.

But this discomfort was concealed by her.

After a few games, Wu Xiuhong came up and asked them to eat.

Seeing three people sitting on the same bed playing Landlord, she was obviously stunned for a moment.

But Feng Xi didn't say anything, she was still enjoying it, and it was even harder for her to say anything.

Originally it was just a game of cards.

Went downstairs to the kitchen to eat. It was a hodgepodge hot pot. It was basically filled with unfinished vegetables on New Year's Eve. The fresh ones were Chinese cabbage just picked from the vegetable garden and cut into a net pot. You can eat it anytime you want. Put it in the hot pot, boil it for a few times and then eat it.

It's not rich, but it tastes delicious.

Feng Xi felt very comfortable eating and said while eating:
"It's much better than what I've eaten these past few days when I went out to celebrate the New Year. I finally got a meal that suits my taste."

"These dishes are all for New Year's Eve and are made by Yan Xin." Wu Xiuhong said with a smile.

Feng Xi gave Yan Xin a thumbs up: "He is indeed the man I like!"

When these words were said, everyone laughed.

After dinner, the snow was still falling and it was quite cold outside.

Feng Xi then suggested going up to the second floor to fight the landlord.

Turning on the heater and sitting on the bed playing landlords can be regarded as a happy life on a cold day.

Wu Xiuhong also saw the scene of three people playing Landlord in the morning, and she didn't say anything. When she did the same thing in the afternoon, she no longer had the psychological pressure of being caught doing bad things, and the atmosphere became more and more relaxed.

The fun lasted until dinner time.

When I went downstairs, I found that the snow was falling even harder.

Feng Xi said to Yan Xin: "If the snow is heavier tomorrow, let's go out to play and take more photos to show to Sister Lili. She has been saying that she wants to see it snow."

"Is it a little cold?" Yan Xin asked.

"Why have you become so pretentious? Could it be that half a day's work can make you sick from the cold?" Feng Xi rolled her eyes at him, "Take more photos and videos for Sister Lili to watch to make her happy. So what if it gets cold?"

Yan Xin said: "Okay, it's settled."

But I was thinking in my heart: "Are you sure you want to make her happy instead of showing affection in front of her?" (End of Chapter)
