Chapter 146 Visiting (Fifth)

how?

Asking for help and still putting on airs?

Is it that difficult to get you to speak up?
Do you think I'm a bully?
I will not speak today!

Seeing that Luo Ping didn't speak, grandma, aunt and aunt began to chat with Mrs. Luo Xin again. Mrs. Luo Xin, although she and Luo Ping are usually very dignified, she is not as calm as Luo Ping in this situation.After being told by grandma, aunt and aunt in turn, I couldn't sit still.Fortunately, she remembered what Luo Xin had said to her at home, so she occasionally said:

"There is also a lot of food at home, just enough to feed a family of four!"

Gradually, no one spoke in the room, and the atmosphere became dull.Luo Shi twisted his body uneasily, and Luo Ping's face was also a little stiff.Luo Qing even glanced at Luo Xin from time to time. Seeing Luo Xin sitting there very calmly, he felt confident in his heart. He secretly glanced at his uncle, and felt in his heart that the uncle he had always admired before saw him. The uncle's expression was gloomy, and he felt much worse than his younger brother at this time.

Amidst the dullness, the crowing of a cock sounded, and a smear of whiteness appeared outside the window.Luo Ping and his wife stood up and said goodbye with some panic. The grandparents snorted coldly and didn't move.On the contrary, the uncle and uncle stood up and sent Luo Xin's family out of the door.

On the way home, Luo Ping was very depressed, he glanced at Luo and said:

"Xin'er, will your grandparents keep silent?"

Hearing this, Luo Shi also looked at Luo Xin worriedly.Luo Xin shook his head firmly and said, "No!"

"But...your uncle and uncle didn't speak..."

"Yes!" Luo Shi also said, "Even your aunt and aunt didn't say anything."

Seeing the worried faces of his parents, Luo Xin flashed the discomfort and disdain on the faces of the uncle and the aunt's family, and said lightly:

"That's because they're not hungry yet."

"Xin'er..."

"Father, mother, think carefully about what grandpa and the others said today and the expressions on their faces. If you give in this time, their family will belong to their family in the future, and our family will also belong to their family. There is no way to pass!"

The Luos were silent, recalling the look and words of the grandpa and the whole family during the night vigil, and then recalling the treatment their own family received before the separation, the expressions of the two became firm.

"Let's go back, dad will kill chickens for you!" Luo Ping waved his hand.

"Mother will prepare delicious food for you!"

The family returned to their home, and Luo Xin was the last one to enter the courtyard gate. He suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at the sky, and shouted to both sides with his arms outstretched:

"I'm ten years old!"

"This child is only ten years old, what is there to shout about! Come back quickly, it's cold outside!" Luo Shi shouted from inside the room.

"Hey, mother, here we come!"

Luo Xin closed the courtyard door and returned to the room.Soon, mother prepared a table of dishes, and after the meal, Luo Xin and Luo Qing went out to pay New Year's greetings.

On the fifth day, Luo Xin and Luo Qing also went to the county seat to pay New Year greetings to Lu Tingfang and the county magistrate Zhou.New Year's Eve passed so quickly.

Luo Xin began to take out the articles he transcribed from the big box, he began to study those classic articles in history, and absorbed knowledge from those articles, which made his level grow at a high speed.

The food shortage situation became serious. When March entered, many families had already started to live on porridge. There were not a few grains of rice in a bowl of porridge, and the villagers began to go out to dig wild vegetables in groups.There was also a group of children fishing by the river.

However, even so, the villagers were reluctant to eat the seeds. In March, they still began to tighten their belts and went to the fields to clean up the world, hoping for a good year this year.

There was a knock on the courtyard door, both father and elder brother were working in the fields, only Luo Shi and Luo Xin were left at home.Luo Shi wiped his hands and came out of the room. In the west chamber, Luo Xin paused with his hand holding the pen, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

No need to ask, this must be the grandfather's family who came to borrow food.It's already March now, and there are nine members of my grandfather's family, and the little food stored should have been eaten up.

Luo Shi opened the courtyard door, and saw Luo Xin's aunt standing outside the door, seeing Luo Shi, a smile instantly bloomed on his face.

"Second sister-in-law, you are at home! I'll come to visit."

Luo Shi curled his lips in his heart, thinking that he had been separated for so long, and he hadn't seen you come to visit a few times.Don't you just want to borrow food?Just your identity is not enough, hum!
There was also a warm smile on his face and he said, "Come in, it's cold outside."

After welcoming the little aunt into the East Wing, Luo Xin shook his head slightly, and then continued to write, no longer caring about the things in the East Wing, she believed that her mother could handle things well.

An hour later, Luo Xin had already put down his pen, and was sitting on a chair, holding the article he had written and studying, when he heard the door of the East Wing room open, and there was a sound of footsteps, but there was no sound of speaking. After closing the courtyard door, I heard my mother walking towards my room.Luo Xin put down his book and stood up, and saw his mother walking in.

"mother!"

Luo Shi came in with a different face and nose, and Luo Xin smiled and asked his mother to sit down, then poured a glass of water for his mother, and then sat down and said:
"Angry?"

"Hmph, if you want to ask for food from our family, you only let your aunt come here, and you look down on our family too much. Do you think our family can be bullied casually? Are we obedient like dogs when we come alone?"

Luo Xin smiled and said nothing, Luo Shi still said angrily: "Xin'er, it's exactly as you expected, your aunt has been sitting here for an hour, and she has been refusing to talk about asking for food, just nagging that their family has no food. It's time for dinner, Wen'er is always crying because of hunger, and she wants me to take the initiative to give them food. Bah! If Wen'er is always crying because of hunger, can she still have that face? I see a little bit on her face Wen'er didn't look hungry, and she wasn't even hungry, so Wen'er would be hungry?
He also said that your grandpa and grandma had no strength to get off the kang. Pooh, I saw your grandpa go to the field yesterday.Are their faces so valuable?Can't speak out when you ask for help?Even though our family is begging for food and still holding up airs and displaying music scores, like an uncle, we are rushing like slaves?They cough and we have to kneel? "

"Mother, don't be angry." Luo Xin laughed softly: "I guess Grandpa's house should still have food for a few days. This is because I want to come early to try our family's attitude. I guess my aunt will come tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow. Uncle will come to my father, and uncle will come to my father the day after tomorrow, and after that, grandparents should come forward."

"Hmph!" Luo Shi said angrily, "If your grandparents don't show up, I won't agree."
