Huang Qinqin felt that this couldn't go on, as Xu Hongxia had become increasingly unwilling to talk to them over the past two weeks.
I still need to talk to Xu Junhui tonight and see what we should do.
After lunch, Huang Qinqin and Xu Junhui returned to their room and talked about Xu Hongxia.
“Junhui, it’s not a long-term solution to keep Hongxia from going out alone like this. I have a feeling that her classmate might have other motives for getting close to Hongxia.”
"Why don't you talk to Dad and ask someone to keep an eye out and see if she has done anything bad to Hongxia before?"
Xu Junhui was actually quite troubled. He had always thought Xu Hongxia was very obedient and didn't require any worry from the family. Now he realized that she was so brainless and escapist.
Yes, Xu Junhui didn't think Xu Hongxia was unaware that her classmate harbored ill intentions towards her. On the contrary, she was perfectly aware. She just refused to admit that she had misjudged people.
Huang Qinqin thought that Xu Hongxia was resentful towards her family because they said bad things about her classmates.
But in reality, it was because Xu Hongxia herself discovered that her classmates had problems, but she was unwilling to accept this fact, so she vented her resentment on them.
However, Xu Junhui felt that Huang Qinqin made a good point. As long as they investigated whether Huang Qinqin had done anything bad to Xu Hongxia, and if so, showed the evidence to Xu Hongxia, she would no longer be able to deceive herself.
Xu Junhui hugged Huang Qinqin and said, "Okay, I'll talk to Dad in a bit. If Hongxia gives you a hard time, don't pay attention to her. If she acts unreasonably towards you, then remember to tell me."
"No, it's just that seeing Hongxia become more and more silent every day makes me feel a little sad. When I first met her, she was so lively."
"It's okay, we'll just do our best. There are many things she needs to figure out for herself. If she insists on getting stuck on something, then no one else can help her."
......
When Huang Qinqin woke up, Xu Junhui had already gone to work. Since she didn't have anything to do, she simply got up and wrote a draft.
She hasn't submitted any articles since getting married. She has written two, but hasn't mailed them yet. Now that she has some time, she'll write one more and mail them together in a couple of days.
She had only just begun writing when she heard Zhang Yumei knocking on the door and calling her, "Qinqin, are you awake? Your eldest cousin is here."
Huh? My eldest cousin is here? Huang Qinqin suddenly realized that it must be my second cousin's wife who gave birth.
He quickly replied, "Mom, I'm awake. I'll come out right now."
When Huang Qinqin came out, she found that Huang Jiancai had brought Dundun with him.
"Hello, eldest cousin."
"DunDun~ Do you miss your little auntie?"
Dun Dun got excited as soon as he saw Huang Qinqin and wanted to go over to her, but Huang Jiancai grabbed his collar.
Dundun found herself unable to move no matter how hard she tried, and pouted as she looked at Huang Jiancai: "Daddy~ I want to go to Auntie's~"
No, you don't want to.
Huang Jiancai did not let go and said to Huang Qinqin, "My second sister-in-law gave birth yesterday. I came here today to tell you and to bring you some red eggs."
In Huangjia Village, it's customary to give a red egg to a newborn child, usually only to close relatives. Then, when the child is a month old, another red egg is given, this time to all relatives and friends.
Huang Qinqin was right; her second cousin-in-law had indeed given birth. She asked expectantly, "Was it a girl or a boy?"
"It's a boy. Grandma told me to tell you not to go back this month, but to go back when the baby is a month old."
Huang Jiancai handed two portions of red eggs to Huang Qinqin and said to her, "I went to my second uncle's house first, but I left late. When I arrived, they had already gone to work and no one was home. If you have time tonight, could you please take the other portion to my second uncle for me?"
Dundun felt unhappy because no one was paying attention to her, and even her aunt kept asking about her second aunt's baby.
Suddenly, he let out a loud "humph" and said, "Ugly! My little brother is ugly!"
Hearing Dundun's words, Huang Qinqin squatted down and asked Dundun, "Huh? Why does Dundun think his little brother is ugly?"
Then he reached out and picked up Dundun.
DunDun finally got to hug his aunt! So happy!
The little girl rested her head on Huang Qinqin's shoulder and whispered shyly, "It's just ugly, all wrinkled..."
Huang Qinqin looked at Huang Jiancai in confusion, not understanding why Dundun kept saying her younger brother was ugly.
Huang Jiancai explained helplessly, "Newborn babies are all like this. They'll grow up and look good in a few days. My second brother and sister-in-law aren't ugly, so how could their baby be ugly?"
"Dundun looked like this when he was first born. A few days later, when you came back to see him, he was all white and chubby."
Upon hearing Huang Jiancai say that he used to be like that too, Dundun's eyes, nose, and mouth all expressed dissatisfaction.
Dun Dun is the prettiest! Dun Dun is nothing like my little brother, hmph!
"Big cousin, what time did you and Dun Dun leave? Have you had lunch yet?"
"I ate, I ate lunch before we set off. If Dundun hadn't insisted on coming along, I would have arrived much earlier. Carrying him while walking was exhausting."
Huang Jiancai had planned it perfectly; it usually took him a little over an hour to get to the city each time. But now, with Dundun added to the journey, it took him a full two hours.
"So how are you going to get back? Are you going to walk? Why don't you stay here tonight, and I'll have Junhui take you back by bike tomorrow?"
When Zhang Yumei heard that they had walked there, she quickly asked them how they were going to get back. Carrying a child for so long must be really tiring.
