Chapter 282: Youcai's death is not right
Because she was taking a nap just now, Xingxing's hair, which had grown thicker over the years like ribbons, was tied up loosely in a bun. The remaining hair fell on her shoulders, looking like a layer of black satin.
Seeing that Xingxing was angry, Bangger didn't dare to make any more noise and slid down from the grape trellis obediently. His skillful movements showed that he had climbed the grape trellis secretly many times.
Xingxing's eyebrows twitched when she saw Jian.
Last year, Bangger fell from a grape trellis and broke his leg. Fortunately, Xingxing and Daxisipo have studied medicine for a few years, so they can treat a broken bone without any problem.
Everyone thought that Bang Gel would learn his lesson and stay away from the vines.
Who would have thought that this year it would be even better and climb even higher!
"Don't be angry, sister." Bangger raised his little face to Xingxing in a flattering manner, and held the grapes pinned on his belt and offered them to Xingxing, "Give them to sister."
Xing Xing nodded at Bang Ge'er's head and said without mercy: "You!... Have you forgotten how much you cried last year?"
Bangger puffed out his chest and said, "Last year I didn't have good skills. This year I worked hard to hone my tree climbing skills. I'm sure..."
The voice of his sister became lower and lower in her wide almond-shaped eyes, and she felt more and more guilty.
Xingxing grabbed Bangger's ear and carried him to the shade under the eaves.
"Your ice bowl is gone today," Xing Xing announced mercilessly.
Bang Ge'er screamed, "Ah? Sister! My beautiful sister! How can you be so cruel to me?"
Xing Xing smiled, revealing two faint smiles: "If you don't agree, go find grandpa and grandma to seek justice."
Bangger was furious.
In the whole family, there was only one girl, his sister, who was the most precious and pampered. Not to mention that his sister stopped giving him ice bowls, even if she kicked him out of the house, I'm afraid his own parents would applaud.
Bangger has a clear understanding of this.
He stood in the shade with his hands behind his back, pouting his lips and looking tearful.
“Sister, sister, sister!”
A series of childish voices calling for "sister" came from the gate of the main courtyard. It was the youngest child, Xu Ge'er, who was only two years old this year and could not walk steadily. With red eyes, he stumbled towards the main courtyard, calling for "sister".
Xu'er's nurse followed behind, bending her head to protect him, with a little sweat on her forehead. Seeing Xingxing in the yard, she smiled with relief: "Fortunately, the young lady is here... Xu had a nightmare and cried and shouted for his sister."
Xing Xing walked forward and picked up Xu Ge'er skillfully, praising him, "Oh, our Xu Ge'er has grown taller. He must have been eating well recently, right? That's great!"
Xu Ge'er's face flushed with excitement, and he puffed out his chest. His proud look made Xing Xing want to laugh.
This is how Bang Ge'er boasted about his tree-climbing skills just now.
The two brothers are exactly alike, and come from the same family.
When Xu Ge'er saw Xing Xing, he stopped crying. Xing Xing held him for a while and then handed Xu Ge'er to the wet nurse.
This boy has a very heavy grip. Xingxing is just a little girl after all, so he can't hold her for too long.
Xuger was also well-behaved. He was afraid that Xingxing would be tired, so he lay obediently on the nanny's shoulder.
The nanny gave Xingxing a grateful look.
After all this commotion, Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu also got up.
Xu Ge'er usually wakes up from a nap to eat. Since he was in the main courtyard, the wet nurse asked the snacks prepared for Xu Ge'er on the stove to be brought to the main courtyard.
Xingxing took Bang'er, who was punished to stand, to wash his hands. Although Xingxing punished Bang'er not to eat ice bowls, she still asked the maid to cut him two pieces of ice watermelon that was bubbling in the well.
Xingxing was holding the bowl of iced milk and eating slowly, while Bangger was busy gnawing on the watermelon.
When Mrs. Wei saw that one of the siblings was eating an ice bowl and the other was eating only watermelon, she knew what was going on and asked with a smile, "Bang, what have you done this time?"
Bangger wiped the watermelon juice from his mouth and said tactfully, "Grandma, don't ask me. If my sister punishes me, I will just feel sorry for her being mad at me. If my sister spanks me, I will just feel sorry for her hurting hand. Maybe she will have to spank me a few more times to vent her anger."
Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu were so amused that they burst into laughter.
Even Xing Xing looked at Bangger helplessly.
When the family was enjoying themselves, Shuangxi came in from outside: "Old Madam, Old Mistress, Young Masters, there is someone outside, saying that he is a relative of Zhao Youcai's family, and he has something to ask the head of our family."
The name Zhao Youcai is very ancient to the Yu family.
Five years ago, Zhao Youcai passed away, leaving Zhao Meng and his mother Pan as orphans and widows. Later, the Yu family sent A Meng and Ju Ge'er to study in the county, and Pan stayed in the small courtyard in the county town to work and take care of the children to offset A Meng's tuition.
In the past two days, two families came to the door, saying that they were Zhao Youcai's two cousins.
Because they live far away, they only recently heard the news of Zhao Youcai's death and came to pay their respects.
When Pan got married, she did meet these two cousins, and they were indeed genuine members of the Zhao family.
Pan even took a special leave from the Yu family, returned to her old home in Nantuo Village, cleaned out two rooms, and let the two families of relatives live there.
Mrs. Wei knew about this.
However, Mrs. Wei didn't know what these two families had to ask their family?
Old Man Yu said, "Perhaps he knows how much we have taken care of A Meng and his son over the years, so he came to thank us?"
Mrs. Wei said, "Who knows? Just ask Shuangxi to invite them in."
Because Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu wanted to meet a guest, the wet nurse took Xu'er back, and Bang'er also slipped down from the stool and started to run.
Xing Xing grabbed Bang Ge'er by the back of his collar and said, "If I see you climbing the grape trellis again, you know the consequences, huh?"
The ending tone rose slightly, and Bangger responded in unison.
Xingxing then let go of her hand, but Bangger ran very fast and disappeared in a flash.
Mrs. Wei couldn't help but laugh and scold: "What a fool!"
Logically, Xingxing should have gone out, but she always felt that the coming of these relatives from the Zhao family was not right.
If I were to come in person to express my gratitude, I should have come two days in advance.
Xing Xing simply stopped avoiding it. She held the ice bowl she had not finished eating and said to Old Man Yu with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma, I'm going to eat my ice bowl behind the screen."
Mrs. Wei and Old Man Yu both indulged her, so naturally they let her go.
The two relatives of Zhao Youcai came in led by Shuangxi.
They did not come alone, each of them brought his wife and children.
The wealth of the Yu family was obviously beyond their imagination. When they came in, they couldn't help looking around and occasionally gasped.
Xing Xing sat behind the screen, eating from a bowl of ice while listening to the conversation in front of her.
"Oh, your house is really beautiful! ... These shelves, these china, these decorations, they must have cost a lot of money, right?"
"Not bad." Mrs. Wei smiled politely, asked Shuangxi to make tea, and asked directly, "You said you had something to ask, what is it?"
Zhao Youcai's elder brother Zhao Youde sat in a chair with a carefree attitude, but when he opened his mouth, he made people stunned: "...I only found out these two days after asking people that there is something wrong with Youcai."
