Chen Sui cautiously communicated with Shan Jingzhe across the screen. Fu Shui's rhetoric was no different from Chen Rang's. It was the older generation who wanted to reassure themselves and firmly believed that drinking it would get rid of the disease and exorcise evil spirits. Harmless, let him not worry, and discussed the taste of Fushui with him.

— Xishan: How about emmm?Fortunately, it is a bit not so good.

— Shan Jingzhe: ...

—Shan Jingzhe: You put it here, put it here~
——Xi Shan: cover your mouth and laugh.jpg
——Xi Shan: There is no strange taste, it is no different from ordinary boiled water. It is just the effect of the heart. I always feel that I am drinking paper ashes, because the burnt talisman paper is placed in the cup, and the moment I drink it, I can smell it. The smell of paper ashes, and the ash residue will be swallowed down the throat along the water flow, and nothing else.

—Shan Jingzhe: I don't know what to say for a while...

——Xi Shan: If you don’t know what to say, eat first, and talk about the rest slowly when you get back.

——Xi Shan: The impact of playing with mobile phones all the time is not very good.

—Shan Jingzhe: ...Indeed.

Chen Sui quietly put down the phone, obediently took the cup and slowly sipped while listening to the elders, the dishes moved with chopsticks, Chen Sui just wanted to pick up the shrimp balls in front of him, but was knocked down by her grandma with chopsticks, and brought the vegetables with chopsticks again In her bowl: "Eat this, tomorrow is your parents' death day, don't eat meat."

"Okay." Chen Sui took back the bowl she was holding, and ate the food bite by bite. While eating, someone touched her waist, which scared her so much that she almost didn't hold the bowl.

"Why are you so thin? Did you not eat outside?"

"Yes." Chen Sui swallowed the food in his mouth and answered her.

The grandma of the Chen family frowned, and wrapped it around her stomach from her waist again, retracted her hand and picked up vegetarian dishes on the turntable for her: "Eat more, I'm so thin, I'm going to see your parents tomorrow, I thought We won't give you food."

"Okay." Chen Sui continued silently, his voice a little hoarse, the feeling in his heart was very subtle, sour, and he wanted to cry.

What came to my mind was when I was a child at my aunt's house, before her mother-in-law passed away, every time she came here, she would drag Ye Zhi and Ye Chengxuan to talk for a long time. Sometimes she would be picked up with two chopsticks, but there will always be some gaps compared to her own.

So this is the feeling of being loved by grandparents?

Accepting the old man's feeding from time to time, Chen Sui ate a meal carefully and was very satisfied, and even burped while eating vegetarian food.

After eating and sitting in the car home, Chen Rang and Chen Xuanqing looked at Chen Sui through the rearview mirror. They were all paying attention to the movements of their grandparents and grandchildren when they had just eaten. Seeing her smiling now, they were a little silly and a little Helpless, more gratified.

Shan Jingzhe looked at the person who had been laughing since he got in the car, and he didn't know whether it was funny or distressed for a moment, he could feel that Chen Sui was really happy, but he couldn't tell what was weird about it.

The four came to the downstairs of the community with their own thoughts. Shan Jingzhe looked at the unfamiliar environment and turned his attention to Chen Sui.

"This is my aunt's house."

"okay!"

Chen Sui looked at the time on his phone: "Go up to the meeting again, and it will be almost three o'clock when we go out to buy sacrifices."

Shan Jingzhe nodded repeatedly, took her hand, and walked behind the elders while chatting.

"Hey, Ah Sui?" Someone behind her suddenly stopped her.

The two turned their heads together, and a 60-[-]-year-old aunt walked towards them with a bag of fruit in high spirits: "Yo, what a year old."

"Yes, hello, Aunt Qin." Chen Sui resisted the urge to walk away, and nodded to her with a smile.

"Okay, I haven't seen you for almost half a year, and you look beautiful again."

"Thank you, Aunt Qin, how is Aunt Qin?"

"Okay, hey, I heard that you got a date. If you didn't come back during the Chinese New Year, you just ran away to someone's house? Is it this pretty boy?" While talking, he looked Shan Jingzhe up and down.

Shan Jingzhe listened with a dazed expression, and when her eyes fell on her, she nodded politely as a greeting.

"Yes, it's him." Chen Sui could even predict her next words.

as predicted.

"Liangzi is very pretty. What does his family do? Is he rich? Does his family know about your situation? Or are you hiding it?"

Chen Sui gritted his teeth and took a deep breath: "I know, Aunt Qin is bothering me, I have to fuck my aunt first..."

"I know!" Before she could finish speaking, Aunt Qin interrupted her: "Didn't his family say anything? Didn't he say that you were not worthy of their family?" While talking, she didn't care what Chen Sui answered, and looked directly at Shan Sui. Jing Zhe asked: "Young man, do you really know the situation at A Sui's house? Don't be fooled!"

Chen Sui took a deep breath again: "Aunt Qin, to put it bluntly, I won't eat your rice or enter your house, so don't worry about my affairs."

"Tsk, what you said, I don't care about you, I'm worried about what to do if you cheat someone and get kicked out later, let me tell you, it's better for you to earn money and stay at home honestly , or find someone who has been divorced, let me tell you, the requirements and vision of the divorced are not so high, although you were not born well, but you have a good face, married to a well-behaved family in the past , is better than anything else, as for your boyfriend," she said decisively, not caring about Chen Sui's already darkened face, and her eyes locked on Shan Jingzhe again: "You sister Ran, you haven't been in love these few years , I'm already 27, I'm so worried, my hair is gray, I think your boyfriend is suitable, or I'll let you sister Ran, Aunt Qin will introduce you to him..."

"Aunt Qin!" Chen Sui couldn't bear to interrupt her: "I respect you as an elder, so I speak politely to you, but you also have to act like an elder."

"Hey! You child!" Aunt Qin yelled, with a bit of meanness: "I'm telling you this for your own good. You're just such a ignorant, uneducated thing."

"Yo~ Aunt Qin, what's the matter? Some good man has made you so angry, and I can hear your voice from far away. You are really strong."

Seeing that they hadn't followed for a long time, Chen Rang asked the elders to go up first, and then turned back to look for them. As soon as he turned the corner, he heard Chen Sui's unbearable words, as well as the harsh words of the old aunt in front of him, so he hurried over.

Seeing Chen Rang coming over, Aunt Qin put away her gnashing face, as if she didn't hear the sarcasm in his tone: "A Rang, it's not all your sisters, and I don't know how you were taught to talk back to your elders when you were young. You don’t even have any education, you have to clean it up.”

Chen Rang didn't even look at her, but turned his head to look at Chen Sui's flushed eyes, and Shan Jingzhe who was frowning protecting her. Seeing that Shan Jingzhe was like an illiterate, he couldn't get angry, but now It wasn't when he was communicating with Shan Jingzhe, he looked down at Chen Sui and coaxed her: "What's wrong, sister? Tell me, brother, I will make the decision for you."

Chen Suihong looked up at her brother with eyes wide open, and tugged on Shan Jingzhe's clothes, probably because she was really angry, or because she really cared about Shan Jingzhe, she no longer concealed it carelessly like usual.

"He is my boyfriend."

Chen Rang raised his eyebrows inexplicably: "And then?"

"I, don't marry a divorced person, I don't want to give him up to Sister Ran."

The amount of information in a few words is a bit large, Chen Rang turned his head to look at Aunt Qin who was staring at Chen Sui in disbelief: "Aunt Qin, my sister is right, call you aunt, you also need an elder Look, do you listen to what you are talking about? I can’t believe my ears! What? Your daughter can’t find a boyfriend and wants to rob my sister. Are you going out without a brain? It's too late, and you still want to marry my sister to someone who has been divorced, are you okay? Why don't you marry your daughter?"

"How do you talk!" Aunt Qin blushed and said, "I'm doing this for your sister's benefit, don't be ignorant of good and evil!"

"Thank you! Keep it for yourself. Since it's so good, why don't you marry yourself? It's a knife stabbing your ass, what a monster, my sister has a good heart and is easy to bully, but I'm not easy to bully, don't you be so old? My lord, I don’t want to use a loudspeaker to spread the word in the whole community. Your daughter hates getting married, and if she can’t get married, she has to rely on her mother to snatch her boyfriend. I see who will dare to come to your house to propose marriage in the future.”

"Chen Rang!"

"what!"

Chen Rang yelled louder than her. They had been arguing for a long time and had already attracted the attention of many people. They all looked in this direction, not knowing whether they were afraid of losing face or Chen Rang would say something embarrassing. Aunt Qin flinched. Shrinking his neck, he forced himself to put down a sentence: "It's really rude." Then he carried his things in a desperate manner and entered the unit building.

Shan Jingzhe looked at the back of her fleeing in a hurry, and turned to look at the two siblings who had calmed down: "What did she say?"

"It's okay." Chen Sui still said the same thing: "Let's go up quickly, don't make the elders wait in a hurry."

Chen Rang followed behind them, met eyes with Shan Jingzhe who had turned his head, raised his mobile phone and shook it, Shan Jingzhe only turned his head back after receiving the signal, and waited until he got home to talk.

No one told the elders about the episode that happened downstairs, and only answered one sentence when asked: I met an acquaintance downstairs, so I chatted a few words.

In fact, I am quite curious about how there are so many topics and gossip between people.

Chen Sui came back to the present, went to the uncle's house, went to the restaurant, and now, she can almost hear different gossips. She quietly ate snacks, sipped her teacup, and listened to every word of the elders' topics with her ears pricked up. Not falling, naturally I didn't notice that Chen Rang and Shan Jingzhe were watching "Foreign Daughter-in-Law and Local Lang" together

Shan Jingzhe was dizzy and dizzy, his eyes stared, and he was stunned when he heard it. He had to read a plot twice before he could match the subtitles with the plot.

The alarm clock at three o'clock rang, interrupting Shan Jingzhe who was watching the drama, and also interrupting Chen Sui who stretched his ears to listen to the gossip. She quickly reached out to turn off the alarm clock, and smiled lightly at the gaze cast by her elders Explaining: "I set an alarm clock to remind myself to buy sacrifices for my parents, and it's time now."

"Ouch," Chen Xuanqing looked at her phone: "I've already ordered this, and I haven't bought any food for dinner yet. Mom and Dad, what do you want to eat tonight? Brothers, sisters-in-law, and Xiao Rang can stay at home for dinner tonight, so as not to run back and forth That's right, Sui Sui and I went out to buy together."

She stood up while talking, and Chen Sui was about to stand up, but her grandma stopped her: "Let Xiao Rang accompany you, and she won't go out until tomorrow."

"Ah? What's the matter?" Chen Xuanqing looked at her mother in a daze and asked.

"If you say don't go, then don't go, don't ask so many questions." Grandma Chen didn't explain, she took Chen Sui's hand and refused to let her go, she thought it would be better if she had more grandparents.

Chen Sui pursed his lips and sat quietly, still confused about the situation. He frowned and met Chen Xuanqing's gaze, wanting to ask what to do. Chen's mother also came over and pulled her sister-in-law: "Then I will go with my sister-in-law." Well, Sui Sui, you stay at home with grandma, and when I go back with your aunt to buy the sacrifices for my uncle and younger siblings, don't run back and forth, it's so tiring."

"Okay." Having said that, Chen Sui nodded sensiblely.

"Then Mom and Dad, my sister-in-law and I will go out first."

Waiting for the elevator, Chen Rang came out with some doubts: "Grandma treats Suisui so well, I'm not used to it."

"It's a good thing that your grandma has finally let go. She only comes back for a few days every year, and then she has to go back to work. There is not much time in total. Let her spend more time with your grandma. For so many years, the grandparents and grandchildren have been together for a long time. We haven't been together for 24 hours, maybe your grandma wants to make up for the old time, old man~ Sometimes it's normal to be stubborn."

Chen's mother analyzed the situation for them based on her own understanding, and even felt that it was very reasonable.

As soon as they went out, Grandma Chen let go of her hand and didn't say a word, which made Chen Sui completely confused. She withdrew her arms and sat there at a loss, not knowing what to do for a while.

Fortunately, she thought of Shan Jingzhe, turned her head to look at the person who was very cautious because of Chen Rang's departure, thought for a while and stood up: "Grandma, I'll go to the kitchen to cook the rice."

The grandma of the Chen family snorted in agreement, Chen Sui got the answer, said hello to the other two elders, turned around and walked towards the kitchen, and when she passed by Shan Jingzhe, her eyes beckoned him to come along.

Shan Jingzhe also stood up understandingly: "I'll go see if there is anything I can do to help."

How can a stewed rice help.

Those present were all experienced people, so naturally they knew everything, but they didn't expose them. The uncle of the Chen family snorted and gave him a step: "Go, go, see what fruit is in the refrigerator, cut it out and eat together."

Shan Jingzhe nodded hurriedly: "Hey, okay, I'll go right away." Then he ran in quickly.

Chen Sui was drinking water, when he heard the movement, he turned his head, and as soon as Shan Jingzhe came in, he went straight to her and hugged her, wrapped his hands around her waist, and entered the rice washing basin under the sink together, resting his chin on her shoulder, and Together, we wash rice with water.

"Will it be boring?" Chen Sui asked him.

"No, I'm learning Cantonese movies with earphones on. It's true that I don't understand."

"Why did you remember to learn Cantonese? Which Cantonese movie did you watch?"

"My brother recommended it to me, it's called "Foreign Daughter-in-Law, Local Lang""

"Ang~ So you are a foreign wife?" Chen Sui teased him with his head tilted.

Shan Jingzhe put the washed rice away and put it on the case, lowered his head and bit her lips gently: "I'm a foreigner!"

Then I took the inner tank of the rice cooker, buckled the washed rice in, refilled the water level, observed the button functions of the rice cooker, and successfully started it.

He went to the refrigerator again and opened the door, looked at it briefly, took out two kinds of fruits that were not easy to store for a long time, closed the door again, returned to the desk, soaked the fruits in water, threw the purifier in, wiped After drying his hands, he hugged Chen Sui again and answered another question.

"I should have learned it a long time ago, so that I won't be the same as now. I can't understand anything and look like an illiterate."

Chen Sui rubbed his face and joked with him: "Do you want to hear how they praise you? Everyone I've met here praises you for being handsome and handsome. Of course, they also praise my vision. good."

"Yes, yes, you have a good eye." Shan Jingzhe smiled angrily: "The one I met downstairs just now, what she said, brother, he probably told me."

Chen Sui froze for a moment, then lowered his head to avoid his gaze.

"I feel very uncomfortable!" He continued: "If I could spare time to learn the language earlier, I would be able to understand what she said, and I would be able to respond to her shameless peddling instead of listening Then, say hello to her like a fool."

"It's okay." Chen Sui raised his head again: "She just talked about it, it won't have any real effect, we don't need it."

"This is another reason why I want to understand." Shan Jingzhe looked into her eyes: "When encountering such a thing, you will never tell me, even if I ask, your answer will always be nothing, always , So, instead of asking you, I might as well listen to it myself."

"How can I..." Chen Sui opened his mouth to refute him, but was interrupted by him again: "She dares to be so disrespectful to the old, it must not be the first time she has spoken badly in front of you, right? ?”

Chen Sui stopped talking.

"You're always like this." Shan Jingzhe pinched her face in a nonchalant manner: "I think about others in everything, I'm afraid to bring trouble to my aunt, I'm afraid to make things difficult for my uncle, so I dare not say anything and keep everything in silence." Bear with it, the car accident that year was not your fault, you are also a victim, you who lost your parents are the one who should be wronged the most, and should be comforted and cared for most, you should also think about yourself, don't be wronged Don't say it, okay?"

Chen Sui put his head on his shoulder, tears welling in his eyes, and took a deep breath: "Okay, when I'm done tomorrow, I'll watch it with you, and you can ask me if you don't understand."

Shan Jingzhe rubbed her head: "I'll watch it all night, I should..."

"cough!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a cough. Chen Sui was so frightened that he quickly retreated from his arms, and looked towards the kitchen door with reddish eyes. Feeling displeased, he yelled at Chen Sui: "It's not dark yet, show some face! Come out quickly."

Shocked by fright, Chen Sui glanced at him hastily, lowered his head and trotted over, the grandma of the Chen family glared at Shan Jingzhe, grabbed Chen Sui's hand and disappeared from his sight.

Shan Jingzhe also frowned, looked at his hands, then turned around to pick up the fruit soaked in the purifier, washed and picked it, and finally cursed in a low voice after a while.
