Chapter 35 I Didn't Fight
Ji Ling, an outsider, didn't know about the grievances of the older generation, so she pricked up her ears curiously.
As a result, Xu Fang only said this sentence, and there was no sound from the following.
Looking over, I realized that it was Mother Xu who was looking at Xu Fang disapprovingly, and Xu Fang lowered her head embarrassingly.
"Lingzi, you go to Xiaoke's bedroom. I remember she borrowed a few novels a few days ago. You can see if you like them." Xu's mother turned to send Ji Ling away.
Ji Ling obediently got up and went to Ji Ke's room. The room was easy to recognize, the door was open, and the pink decoration was where Ji Ke lived.
She closed the door casually, and put her ears on the door.
In the living room, there was a faint conversation between Xu's mother and daughter.
"You are already a mother, so you must remember the identity of a mother and pay attention to the elderly in front of your children. What kind of education is this for your children? Will they learn from you in the future?"
"Mom, I was also angry for a while."
"I don't think it's just a momentary anger, it's a habit you've developed on a daily basis. Over the years when you married Ji Yong, you became more and more spoiled, and you don't even remember how to cultivate yourself." Xu's mother said harshly, "Xu Fang, do you remember?" Hold on, no matter what happens in the outside world, you have to calm yourself down first. You are a highly educated person and someone who has seen the world. Complaining about people who are not as good as you will only lower your status. I will tell you this truth, and now it seems that you have given it back to me."
"Mom, I'm sorry."
When the daughter admitted her mistake, Xu's mother's tone became much more relaxed, "Xiaofang, your mother-in-law has never been educated, and she doesn't know a few big characters. Ignorance and superstition are inevitable. So what if she doesn't like Jianhua anymore? She said that Jianhua engraved her with the horoscope for more than 20 years. Hasn’t she been living well after the past? On the other hand, she doesn’t think it’s her fault that Jianhua is a grandson, but as juniors, you can’t arrange old people behind your back.”
Xu Fang was silent.
"The child is here too, so I won't say anything more, you should think about it for yourself." Mother Xu nodded to her daughter and said nothing more.
Ji Ling sat down on the chair in front of the desk, it turned out to be such a grievance.
Old lady Ji's unreasonable appearance, for the sake of her own selfishness, she didn't even recognize her grandson for more than 20 years, and no daughter-in-law could stand it.
Behind him, Xu Fang opened the door and walked in, sat down by the bed, "What else did your grandma say?"
"I also said that my hunger strike made my neighbors envious, and gave Ji's parents face."
Xu Fang: Well done on the hunger strike.
"My grandma also said that I would repeat my studies so that the left and right neighbors will know that our Ji family is rich and powerful."
Xu Fang nodded, and did what she did to repeat the reading.
"You're arguing with your grandma again, isn't it enough to **** her off?"
Ji Ling's eyes widened: She seemed to have discovered the truth that Xu Fang asked her to send her living expenses.
Xu Fang avoided her daughter's eyes with a guilty conscience, and faked a cough to cover up her embarrassment, "Your grandma is old, don't quarrel with her, after all, she is an elder."
Ji Ling snorted, "I didn't quarrel with her this time, I still hugged her and talked to her."
Xu Fang opened her mouth wide in astonishment, "Holding your milk?"
"Yeah, I told my grandma, aren't the neighbors envious? Then let them be more envious. When you go out again, tell them that your granddaughter has won the provincial liberal arts exam. Their eyes are so envious."
Xu Fang: How can someone like the old lady be so angry?
For a while, I was glad that I was not the one who was angry this time.
The wronged heart is healed virtually.
There was a smile on Xu Fang's face, "Your grandma and I are going to cook, and you can read a book in the house. By the way, don't go out and wander around in the compound. You are not familiar with this place, and you will get lost again." .”
Really get lost.
But after thinking about it, he explained, "Chen Jingming just stopped me and returned the pen money to me."
Xu Fang turned her head, her eyes were deep, and there was something inexplicable in her eyes.
After a moment of silence, she said, "Since I got the money back for you, you should keep it for yourself and use it when you go to college."
After explaining, Xu Fang went out.
In the kitchen, Mother Xu was absent-minded after seeing her daughter coming out of the bedroom, and asked, "Are you angry with Xiaoling again?"
Xu Fang shook her head, thought for a while and told about Chen Jingming, ".I was worried about her coming here before."
"Who didn't like people when they were young? You are also an educated person, how can you be so pedantic? I know that there are several boys in our yard who like Xiao Ke? Xiao Ke usually hangs out with them, I You and your father didn't care about it. It's fine after that age. The more you stop some things, the more rebellious they will be, and it will make things more complicated. "
"It's like Xiaoling giving a pen and then asking Chen Jingming for money. This shows that she values money and people she likes more. What are you worried about?"
Xu Fang opened her mouth.
She felt a little guilty about her distrust of her eldest daughter and the previous abuse.
I told my mother about this, and I was appointed to be trained again.
Finally, Xu Fang did not explain.
At noon, Father Xu brought Ji Ke back from outside.
Mother Xu came out of the kitchen, "Wangting and the others called and said they won't come back for lunch. Wash your hands and prepare for dinner."
Xu Wangting is Xu Fang's older brother, Xu's mother has two children, a boy and a girl.
Called Ji Ke again, "Tell your sister to come out for dinner."
Father Xu frowned, and went to the bathroom without saying a word.
The whole family sat down and had a quiet meal. The wild mushrooms used for chicken stewed by Xu's mother, Ji Ling knew that she was not welcome, so she lowered her head to eat quietly.
So I ignored the scrutinizing gazes of Xu's father on the opposite side several times.
Father Xu found out that his granddaughter had won the provincial liberal arts exam and was congratulated when he went to give Ji Ke the notice. That's how he found out.
He didn't want to show that he just knew, so he accepted everyone's blessings with a dry smile.
When I got home, I was sulking with my wife.
Xu's mother couldn't laugh or cry when she found out. The old man slapped himself in the face and felt ashamed, but no one else could be blamed for this. She could understand.
After dinner, Ji Ling and Ji Ke helped clean up the table and went back to the bedroom.
Xu’s family has three bedrooms and one living room, one of which is a guest room, and Xu Wangting’s family of four will come back to live on weekends.
Life in the city is no different from that in the county.
The only thing that Ji Ling is not used to is sharing the bed with other people, but what kind of environment does Ji Ling do what?
Ji Ke wanted to say a few words to her but had no chance.
The next day, Ji Ling was woken up by Ji Ke as soon as the genius came on.
"Sister, yesterday Chen Jingming agreed with you to go hiking today? The appointment is five o'clock, let's get up."
Ji Ling turned over and continued to sleep, "I didn't agree, you go with them."
Ji Ke was stunned, Xu Fang opened the door and came in, "Why aren't you up yet?"
Ji Ke also looked surprised, "My sister said she won't go."
