Xia Xiaoxi lost her parents at a young age. Her uncle's family, claiming to raise her, moved into her home, seized her family's money, exploited her and her brother's labor, and even pl...
Chapter 208 Do you know what her family background is?
As they talked, they left the vegetable market and arrived at the community.
This community is an old community, and most of the houses have two bedrooms and one living room. The Chen family is on the third floor of a building in the middle of the community.
After entering the house, Tongtong turned on the TV skillfully, and took out two candies from the fruit box and handed them to Li Wenxi and Zhang Shulan: "Sister, eat."
"Tongtong, you have to call them aunt." Auntie Sun laughed.
Then she said to Li Wenxi and the others: "Your Uncle Chen is not at home, he must have gone downstairs to play chess with those old men. This is his only hobby."
Li Wenxi and Zhang Shulan began to help Auntie Sun, washing and cutting vegetables, and it was very lively.
Zhang Shulan watched Auntie Sun kneading the dough on the chopping board and smiled, "This makes me feel like I'm back in Lingdao. Very intimate."
Li Wenxi also smiled and said, "Watching Auntie Sun cook, I feel like I've returned to a few years ago, when I loved to stick behind Auntie the most. When she cooked, I would follow her and light the fire."
Auntie Sun added a little more water to the dough and continued kneading. "Haha, yes, it feels like I think she is just like my adopted daughter. Xiaoxi loves the fried meatballs, braised pork, scallion pancakes, and meat buns that I make the most. I will make meat buns and braised pork for you today. I will make the other ones next time. You can bring the meat buns to school and eat more. "
Li Wenxi smiled and said, "Auntie, you are so lucky in Beijing."
Zhang Shulan thought of an old story when he heard about the meat buns: "Xiaoxi, when I started high school, I was very happy. Were the ten meat buns you brought to school made by your auntie?"
Seeing Li Wenxi nod with a smile, Zhang Shulan said, "Auntie, you don't know, Xiaoxi brought ten buns to school at that time, and they became her dry food for a week. We were embarrassed to eat when she invited us to eat. Some classmates thought that Xiaoxi couldn't afford the school meals, so she brought vegetarian buns from home.
Later, Xiaoxi begged us to eat them, saying that the buns would go bad if she didn't eat them. When we ate them, we found that they were full of meat and tasted especially good. Then we realized that they were snacks made for her by her neighbor's auntie. We envied her for having such a neighbor auntie. I have always remembered that taste, but I didn't expect to eat it again today."
Sun Ying was so happy to hear this, she wanted to make hundreds of them for them to take back.
They were busy in the kitchen while chatting about family matters. Tongtong from the living room would watch TV and then run to the kitchen to see them. He even fed them candy and jumped around happily.
After Sun Ying steamed a few steamed buns, she let Li Wenxi and Zhang Shulan taste them first.
Zhang Shulan exclaimed that the taste was familiar. Li Wenxi took a bite and said, "Why do I feel like crying?"
"Because you are eating memories." Zhang Shulan smiled.
Sun Ying smiled so hard that she couldn't close her mouth: "You scholars talk in a way that makes people like to listen."
When Teacher Chen came in, he heard such a lively atmosphere and wondered, "Aren't the eldest and his wife working overtime today?"
"Old Chen, look who's here?" Sun Ying shouted from inside.
"Uncle Chen." Li Wenxi came out and called out. Zhang Shulan and Teacher Chen were not very familiar with each other and had only met a few times, but she also called him Uncle Chen.
Teacher Chen looked at Li Wenxi for a long time, pointed at her and laughed, "Isn't this Xiaoxi? You, the little girl, are finally here. Your aunt has been asking you to come to dinner every day since she came to the capital."
He pointed at Zhang Shulan next to him and said, "Who is this girl?"
"Guess carefully, who is this? If you can guess it, you are very capable." Sun Ying smiled. "
She is my aunt-in-law." Tongtong, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, suddenly shouted.
Everyone looked at Tongtong in astonishment, and Tongtong blushed and threw herself into Sun Ying's arms, "Grandma."
Sun Ying laughed non-stop, picked up Tongtong, and explained to everyone: "Recently, her mother often said that she wanted to find a younger aunt for her uncle, and Tongtong probably listened to it. Xiaolan, don't mind."
Zhang Shulan waved her hands and laughed.
Teacher Chen said: "I remember now, you are the daughter of the political committee member Shi, who often comes to see Xiaoxi. You are also from Ningcheng No. 1 Middle School, and your grades are top-notch."
Everyone laughed again.
"You actually still remember it." Sun Ying thought it was incredible.
"There are only two students from Ningcheng No. 1 High School on the island, and they are in the same class as Xiaoxi. How could I not remember them?" He asked Zhang Shulan, "Xiaoxi is from Tsinghua University. Did you also get into Tsinghua University?"
"I'm from Peking University."
"Oh, one is from Tsinghua University and the other is from Peking University. I'm really jealous. Our eldest's school was not as good as yours."
Everyone was talking while eating. Teacher Chen even took out red wine for them to drink, but was scolded by Sun Ying and took it back.
After dinner, Li Wenxi and Zhang Shulan helped wash the dishes and clean up, chatted and ate fruits, and finally each carried a bag of buns back to school.
Sun Ying even carried Tongtong to send them out of the community: "Come to my place for dinner on weekends in the future. Next time I will fry meatballs for you. I don't have time to do this today."
"Come when you are free on weekends in the future. Call you before you come." Li Wenxi said with a smile.
Sun Ying nodded quickly, then looked at Li Wenxi and said, "Xiaoxi, don't be sad about breaking up with that classmate named Chen. I think breaking up is a good thing, otherwise this mother-in-law is too scheming. If you marry her, I'm afraid she will have to ask you to make connections all the time, and you don't like to do this. There will be disputes every day.
You have to look after your mother-in-law after you get married, otherwise you will have to endure a lot of trouble. Our Xiaoxi is so outstanding, there is no good family to find." Dongfang is not worthy of Xiaoxi, and he is wholeheartedly devoted to Li Wenting. She has never thought of letting Xiaoxi be her daughter-in-law.
"I know, auntie." Li Wenxi felt warm in her heart.
On the other hand, Mother Chen was anxiously looking for her son.
Chen Zhiyan had packed up all the things in the dormitory and someone helped to mail them out.
He completed all the formalities and left the school. He came to the hotel where his mother was staying and booked another room to wait for the flight home tomorrow.
At this time, he was sitting in the hotel in a daze.
Mother Chen asked the assistant and found Chen Zhiyan's room.
"Zhiyan, do you know the situation of Li Wenxi's family?" Mother Chen asked when she came in.
Chen Zhiyan opened the door, turned around and sat on the stool. When he heard Li Wenxi's name, he looked up and said, "What's wrong with Xiaoxi?"
"Oh, Mom is just curious. Do you know what the background of Xiaoxi's family is?" Mother Chen sat on the imperial concubine couch next to Chen Zhiyan.
Chen Zhiyan shook his head, "We didn't talk about this."
Mother Chen used to think that her son was good for being so focused on studying, but now she blames herself for not letting her son be more careful: "Zhiyan, I just ran into Xiaoxi when I went out to do some work. I just found out that her family is a military family."
