Chapter 271 Her motives are not pure
This very ordinary sentence, to Xia Qingxi's ears, was indeed extremely sad, as if something had stabbed her heart, a little sour, and a little distressed.
She raised her hand and took the little boy's hand, gently stroked his head, and said softly:
"What a good child."
This child is so sensible, so sensible that it makes people feel distressed!
This kind of sensible child always makes her feel inexplicably sad and distressed. Qingcao's brother is like this, Guangguang is like this, and now Su Yang is like this.
Xia Qingxi knew that his sister Su Xin would be found, but she was not happy or looking forward to it, because she knew that Su Xin would be missing an arm when she came back.
Su Yang is so understanding and considerate of others. His character will make him carry this guilt for the rest of his life and he will never be at peace.
"Auntie, let me play a game with you?" Xia Qingling didn't want the child to be immersed in sadness anymore, so she let go of his hand and smiled.
"What game?" Su Yang asked curiously.
"It's a simple game. Put your five fingers together and cover them with your other hand, leaving only the tip of your finger exposed. Guess which one is your index finger. Each person draws five times. If you get three out of five, you win. The winner can make a condition to the other person." Xia Qingling said the rules of the game with a smile, trying to infect Su Yang with her own happiness.
"Is it that simple?" Su Yang was a little uninterested.
"Haha, it sounds simple, but it's not that easy to guess correctly." Xia Qingxi played this game with her roommates in high school. At that time, it was played as a truth or dare game. The rules were relatively simple, but it was not as easy to win as imagined. Sure enough
, Su Yang didn't guess correctly the first two times. When the five fingers were put together, only the fingertips were exposed. The thumb and the little finger were easy to see, but the other three fingers were not so easy to find.
Su Yang, who was originally uninterested, became more excited after the failure. Finally, in the fourth round, she successfully drew the index finger three times.
Hahaha...
The moment he guessed it, his little heart was filled with the joy of victory, and a smile he had never had before appeared on his face unconsciously.
Seeing him return to his innocent look, Xia Qingxing was also genuinely happy.
The two of them were laughing happily, and Shi Yamin, who was walking out of the living room, saw them. Seeing two people she "didn't like" laughing so happily together, Shi Yamin frowned tightly, with anger on her face that she couldn't hide.
But she didn't go up and scold them, but turned around with a cold face and walked back to her room.
"What reward do you want?" Xia Qingxing asked softly.
Su Yang thought about it, hesitated for a moment, and then asked cautiously:
"Auntie, can you take me to the train station?"
"Train station?" Xia Qingling was a little puzzled and asked: "What are you going to the train station for?"
"My sister was lost at the train station, I want to go and see her..." Su Yang's voice became even lower. The last time he sneaked onto the train, he wanted to go to the train station to find his sister, but he failed.
Xia Qingling didn't expect him to make this request. In his heart, finding his sister was far more important than candy and toys.
Xia Qingying thought about it. Lu Jingxie and himself were going to the city on the weekend. Since Su Yang wanted to go so much, he should fulfill his wish. So he nodded and said,
"Your fourth uncle and I are going to the city in two days. We will pick you up and accompany you to the train station."
"Really?" Su Yang didn't have any hope at first. Even if the fourth aunt didn't agree, he wouldn't complain. But unexpectedly, the fourth aunt agreed. He couldn't hide the smile on his face anymore and said loudly,
"Great!"
"The game isn't over yet, it's my turn." Xia Qingying urged.
Children are still not as good at hiding as adults. After a while, Xia Qingying won three games.
"What reward does the fourth aunt want?" Su Yang tilted his head and asked curiously.
"I want classmate Su Yang to hold his head up in the future, when walking, doing things, and talking." Xia Qingli looked at Su Yang and asked very seriously:
"Can you do it?"
Su Yang, who had his head down, was silent for a while, then slowly raised his head, looked at Xia Qingli, raised his voice slightly, and uttered a word:
"Yes!" Then he continued:
"I am a man who is willing to admit defeat and do what I say."
In fact, Lu Jingshi had been standing outside the window, taking in the interaction between the two. At this moment, the image of his wife in his heart became more perfect.
After lunch in the afternoon, Xia Guyu said goodbye to Xia Qingli, and Su Xiangnan sent him back. Xia Qingli and Lu Jingshi also walked slowly home.
The sun had already set, but the weather was still very hot. Xia Qingxu said casually while walking:
"It would be great if I could eat an iced watermelon on such a hot day."
"What kind of iced watermelon?" Lu Jingchen asked in confusion.
"It's not iced watermelon, it's just putting the watermelon in ice, and then eating it after it cools down. It's sweet, cool and thirst-quenching..." Xia Qingxu swallowed unconsciously thinking about the taste.
After listening to his wife's words, Lu Jingchen seemed to be thinking about something. He had never heard of the word "iced" before. No one in the north city would say that, and he had never heard of it in his hometown in the countryside.
Where did his wife hear these new words?
Lu Jingchen walked beside Xia Qingxi. Although he had doubts in his heart, he did not ask anything.
Xia Qingxi just said it casually and did not think deeply about it. Halfway through the walk, she suddenly thought of something and asked Lu Jingchen beside her:
"Oh, by the way, how is the relationship between elder brother and sister-in-law?"
"They used to be classmates. The conditions of elder sister-in-law's family are better. Her father and brother both work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The two were in the same class in junior high school and high school. They were each other's first love and final destination. The two used to have a very good relationship, but since the child was lost, elder sister-in-law's temperament has changed drastically..."
Lu Jingchen did not say anything else. Life is probably like this. Once it goes too smoothly, God will play a joke and tease you.
"Oh." Xia Qingxi's voice was somewhat regretful. The reason why she asked Lu Jingqie this question was because she was considering whether she should intervene in this matter.
Huang Caiping was so scheming and had no bottom line. If she really used her tricks to become her sister-in-law in the future, it would be difficult to get along well with such a "sister-in-law".
Moreover, with such a stepmother, Su Yang's future life will be even more difficult.
After a mental struggle, Xia Qingli still couldn't stand by and watch. She looked at Lu Jingchen and said,
"There is something you'd better remind your elder brother."
Since it was inconvenient for her to tell Shi Yamin, she let Lu Jingchen tell her elder brother. According to her observation, her elder brother was a very decent person.
This Huang Caiping was really good at pretending, and her elder brother didn't have so many defensive psychology, so he might fall into her "gentleness" without noticing.
If he was reminded in advance, he would be on guard, and in this way, Huang Caiping's tricks would not be implemented smoothly.
"What's the matter?" Lu Jingchen asked with some curiosity.
"Tell him to be careful of Huang Caiping. She has ulterior motives." Xia Qingqing said truthfully.
"Ultra-ulterior motives?" Lu Jing's calm face suddenly tensed up, and he immediately asked:
"You mean, she might be a spy?"
