Reborn sparrow becomes phoenix

Chapter 85 The Most Unpopular Person
Xingye is busy in the kitchen with an apron on. These days, it’s all fish and meat. It’s annoying to eat the best food every day. Besides, the food is too greasy and people lose their appetite. The dishes in these two days are obviously There was a lot left, Xingye thought about making some appetizing and refreshing side dishes for everyone to change their tastes.

Mix cabbage heart, put some sugar, put some vinegar, sweet and sour, still crispy, then soak some fungus, blanch some spinach, serve with peanut kernels, almonds, diced ham, walnut kernels, shiitake mushrooms, dried shrimps Let's mix eight-treasure spinach.Look at the marinated pig's ears. Just put some sesame oil and chili oil in it. This is the best accompaniment to wine. With Grandpa Lin, grandpa will definitely have a drink with him.

"Xingye, do you want to help?" Lin Yan asked after Xingye.

"Will you?" Jia Kai said beside him.

Xingye looked at the two of them, they were about to become conjoined twins, wherever Lin Yan went, there would always be Jia Kai, but the two of them bickered whenever they were talking.

"No need, you'd better go upstairs to play," Xing Ye said, even though the kitchen of grandma's house is not too small, but letting these two big men stand there, it seems that they can't turn away.

Xingye didn't want them to help, not to mention whether they would do it, or whether they would help more and more, but the bickering between these two people was annoying enough.

"Seeing you cooking by yourself, we're all going to play. How can I do something for you?" Lin Yan insisted. People are depressed!Naturally, we should seize every opportunity to stay by Xingye's side for a while longer.

Xingye couldn't give him a handful of water celery, and he had to tell him clearly what he could have and what he couldn't.

"What about me?" Jia Kai kept it simple, reaching out to the starry night.

Xingye knew that he and Lin Yan were on the same date, so he couldn't help but also gave him a plate of prawns, and started to be a teacher with his hands, just like that, without the head, picking out the prawns from the back.

Xingye drove them both to the dining room, so don't take up space in the kitchen, okay?

Grandma saw two big boys clumsily choosing dishes in the living room, thinking that Xingye was too busy, so she hurried into the kitchen.

"Your aunt isn't here, so I'll make it up with you." Grandma rolled up her sleeves to wash her hands.

"No, no need," Xingye stopped her grandma, "As for the meals for six or seven of us, grandma and I can do it by ourselves. You don't need to do anything when you go to rest."

"I see Jia Kai has come to help, I'm afraid you won't be able to do it alone."

Xingye pouted and said: "Didn't you see that they are only busy bickering, so they still have to worry about choosing dishes. They are just looking for trouble if they have nothing to do. It's just a waste of help. Why don't you find something else for the two of them to do."

Grandma also laughed, and said: "The two of them never got along with each other when they were young, and even fought when they were young. Regardless of how old Jia Kai is, Lin Yan has been training with his father since he was a child. Jia Kai is not his opponent at all. They were arguing about going to practice martial arts, probably because they felt uncomfortable after losing, Jia Kai saw that Lin Yan either hid away and ignored him, or the two of them were arguing and bickering so annoyingly."

Xingye didn't know that they still had such an old enmity. No wonder Jia Kai had such a big reaction when he mentioned Lin Yan. It turned out that he lost to Lin Yan who was younger than him.

It may be that Jia Kai has been an excellent child since he was a child. He is cute, good at studying, and is top-notch in everything. He grew up under the praise of adults, but he lost in fights, and he lost miserably. I'm afraid other children won't take it to heart, but to him, this is a shame, and it is the only failure in his more than ten years of life. Although he no longer cares about it for many years, he still remembers it firmly. Every time Lin Yan appeared, it just reminded him and reminded him of that unpleasant feeling.

"Grandma, you should let them separate." Xingye looked at the two people who were fighting outside, "Or let grandpa come and take them away, otherwise I don't know if there will be a fight."

"That's not enough, but why the bigger this person is, the more troublesome it is." Grandma said puzzled.

Xingye knew a little bit about it. Jia Kai deepened his bad impression of Lin Yan because of Lin Yan's confession to him, and he deliberately found trouble with Lin Yan.

"Grandma, so..." Xingye whispered in her grandmother's ear for a while.

Grandma walked out with a smile.

Not long after, Jia Kai and Lin Yan were recruited to the study again. Now their ears were clean, Xingye and grandma chatted and laughed and made lunch easily.

The food was on the table, and they had already been called once, but neither the old nor the young in the study came out, so Xingye had no choice but to knock on the door again.

In the study room, the two old men were drinking tea leisurely, while Lin Yan and Jia Kai were holding their chess pieces and waiting for them. Both of them were frowning and staring, their faces full of seriousness.

"Well, that's right, Lin Yan's chess style is not like yours, he only knows how to go on a rampage, throws and hits, and is quite stable." Grandpa praised Lin Yan, "It's just that it is still worse than Jia Kai's strategic skills. "

Mr. Lin was not annoyed and said: "Jiakai is like you, full of twists and turns and small thoughts, not grand at all."

"Grandpa Lin, grandpa, don't talk about the children. Isn't this making them hostile to each other?" Xingye looked at the two old children helplessly, "Hurry up and eat, I'll pour you all the wine."

Mr. Lin laughed loudly, "You are still the most caring, unlike these two brats, they are so annoying."

"Let's go, you guys go to dinner too," the grandfather said, Lin Yan and the two were obviously relieved, and then they heard the grandfather say: "After dinner, come again, there will always be a winner."

Lin Yan and Jia Kai looked at each other, and they both sighed at the same time. This was used as a bargaining chip by the two old men.

The cabbage heart and eight-treasure spinach cooked by Xingye have been praised by everyone, and Mr. Lin even praised them while eating. Lin Yan often heard his grandfather praise Xingye’s cooking. He didn’t eat it twice before. , Looking at Xingye smiling like a flower, and talking is even more likable, Lin Yan was happy, and unknowingly ate a lot.

After dinner, Lin Yan explained to the two old men that he had already made an appointment with friends, and he had to wait until he came back to play the remaining chess game.

"Xingye, my appointment is Lu Chang, you can go together." Lin Yan extended the invitation to Xingye in front of everyone, fearing that people would not understand, he said: "Lu Chang and Xingye are classmates, and they both know each other. of."

Xingye thought about it and said: "I still don't want to go. I can't say anything at your boys' party. Why don't I watch the phone with grandma at home."

Grandma was afraid that Xingye would always feel bored at home, so she said: "You have been doing this and that at home these few days, and you haven't gone out to play, why don't you go out to play all afternoon."

Xingye still shook his head, his attitude was very firm, Lin Yan had no choice but to go out by himself.

Seeing Lin Yan going out by himself, Jia Kai was happy for a while, and secretly said to Xingye: "Yes, that's it, don't pay too much attention to that kid, if you feel bored, I'll take you out to play."

Xingye Kan Jiakai's gloating look is a bit funny, he really doesn't want to go out, and he doesn't know Lu Chang very well, and most likely Qian Meichan will also go with him, so his feelings towards Qian Meichan Xingye are quite contradictory , I always feel that the girl is too thoughtful, it's better not to deal with them, I don't have friendship with them, so why bother to join in the fun.

In the afternoon, boil a pot of fruit scented tea, take a plate of dried fruit, starry night in my room, sitting on a wicker chair, holding a relaxing novel, enjoying the afternoon sun.

Just when she felt like falling asleep, Jia Kai pushed her awake.

"What's the matter?" Xingye asked a little confused.

"Zhang Honghai is here." Jia Kai didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

"What?" Xingye didn't react, thinking that he had heard wrong.

"I said, Zhang Honghai is here, he's here to pay New Year's greetings to his grandparents." Jia Kai said word by word, making sure that Xingye heard every word in his ears.

Xingye was stunned there, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses, "He didn't come here because he heard something?"

Jia Kai shook his head and said slowly: "Actually, I didn't care about it before. Looking back now, it seems that he will come every Chinese New Year. It's just that my grandparents are very indifferent, so they don't care about him. Basically, my dad greeted him. He They also just sit and go, never staying for a while.”

"You mean, he comes every year, why didn't anyone tell me?" Xingye said a little annoyed.

Jia Kai shook his head, not knowing how to answer Xingye.

Xingye walked back and forth twice in the room, took a deep breath, and said, "Come on, just come, what happens every year, and what happens this year."

Seeing Xingye, Jia Kai quickly sorted out his mood, and asked cautiously, "Do you want to take a sneak peek?"

Xingye rolled his eyes at him, and said angrily: "What's so interesting, let grandma get rid of him quickly. He wants to pay New Year's greetings, and it has nothing to do with me."

"Okay, just stay in the room and don't go out. I'll go and have a look and tell him when he's gone." Jia Kai said.

Jia Kai walked out of the room quickly, but Xingye fell down on the rattan chair.

Why didn't grandma tell her that that person would come every year and knew that he and his uncle were friends, but what face did he have to come to see grandpa and grandma? Why didn't grandpa and grandma drive him out every year? Wouldn't they be resentful? ?The only daughter has gone away because of him, and there is no news of her life or death. How can she still face him calmly.

After recognizing herself, for the first time, Xingye had a doubt about her attitude towards her grandparents, and this question was like a sharp claw, scratching her heart, causing the anger in her heart to rise, no matter how hard she suppressed it, she couldn't suppress it.

Xingye kept repeating to herself that it was for someone who had nothing to do with him. He had nothing to do with her, but she still couldn't suppress her anger. She didn't understand how she could face him calmly the last time she saw him, but this time she couldn't suppress it. Live in anger.

That's right, Xingye knew that he couldn't erase the existence of this person, so he met him elsewhere and avoided the incident. He was angry because he had broken into the boundary between himself and his mother, and Xingye thought it was wrong. There should be a place for him, and his arrival made him feel like he was forced to have nowhere to hide.

Downstairs, Xingye's grandmother looked at Zhang Honghai, and couldn't help but think of her daughter, who had been away from home for 16 years because of this person, and now she would never come back again. Hong Hai said, "What are you doing here again? How many times have we told you that you are not welcome in our family."

The old man Yu's face was serious, "Go back, you know that we don't want to see you. As for you and Zhongliang's willingness to get along, that's your business, don't appear in front of us in the future."

Zhang Honghai didn't move. He felt ashamed these few years. He came here to visit the old man and hope to know about Xiaoyue. So no matter what the old man said or how indifferent he was to him, he didn't mind. On the contrary, he could feel that the two old people were generous, and they didn't speak bad words to him, but they just didn't want to pay attention to him.

Every year when he comes to the general meeting, he chooses when Yu Zhongliang is around. At least someone can say something nice to him to make him feel better. But today he received a call from Tian Yun, who vaguely mentioned that Yu's family might have found him. It's Xiaoyue, and when he heard the news, he ran here without thinking too much.

"Teacher Yu, does Xiaoyue...have news?" Zhang Honghai couldn't help asking.

Hearing his mention of his daughter, old man Yu's eyes were red, and he said loudly: "Whether Xiaoyue has any news has nothing to do with you. Now that you have a wife and children, what else do you want?"

"I heard, I heard..." Zhang Honghai didn't know what to say for a while, and his classmate also spoke very vaguely, but he knew that classmate had some connection with the Yu family, so his words were still very credible.

"What have you heard?" Grandma Xingye asked nervously. Someone told him about Xingye. The old man became more anxious when he thought that this might be the case. You leave me, you are not welcome in our family."

Zhang Honghai was also taken aback, and was almost pushed by the old lady. This is because the teacher's wife has always been very measured, and she never did this to herself even when she was angry.

"Master..." Zhang Honghai supported the old lady, who was trembling all over, tears streaming down her face.

Jia Kai, who was originally hiding outside the living room, hurried forward to help grandma sit on the sofa when she saw this.

"You go..." The old lady still repeated this sentence.

"We have news about Xiaoyue," Old Master Yu's voice recalled.

Zhang Honghai cheered up all of a sudden, "Mr. Yu, where is Xiaoyue?"

Mr. Yu looked at Zhang Honghai who looked surprised, and asked word by word: "If you know where Xiaoyue is, what can you do?"

One sentence made Zhang Honghai stunned again, yes, Xiaoyue has always been a pain in his heart, but if he really knows where Xiaoyue is, what can he do, say sorry to her, this statement is too weak, It's even more unrealistic to want to be with her. I have a wife and daughter, and it's impossible to let go of them.

"You want to have the news of Xiaoyue, you can alleviate the guilt in your heart, don't you?" Mr. Yu said sarcastically.

Is that right?Is it just to reduce the guilt in my heart?No, it's not like this, I care about Xiaoyue, and I also hope that Xiaoyue will live well, so I can feel at ease...

Zhang Honghai didn't dare to think about it anymore, is he really such a selfish person?
