185: A strange family
Shao Xia raised her sleeves generously:
"Aunt, look at the clothes I'm wearing. Do they look good on me?"
Cai Honghua nodded vigorously:
"It's beautiful, it's beautiful! I just saw it. You've had your clothes altered, Xiao Shao. I didn't realize it. You have such a clever hand and are really good at sewing. Whoever marries you in the future will definitely be blessed!"
Li Xinchun continued to roll his eyes.
Shao Xia smiled shyly and said:
"Aunt, I didn't alter this dress. A girl from the Eighth Company did it."
"Ah? It was altered by a girl from the Eighth Company. Oh, that girl is really talented. Not to mention, the alterations are quite nice. It really makes me look taller when I wear it."
Shao Xia was very proud:
"Yeah, I happened to have a childhood friend who was in the Eighth Company. She also took my clothes to be altered. The people in our dormitory saw them and said they looked good and wanted to alter them as well, but they didn't dare to cut them for fear of ruining the clothes."
At this time, Li Xinchun, who had been silent all this time, finally couldn't help but interject:
"Chenci has good needlework. Others won't be able to make changes, but she will."
Shao Xia said faintly:
"That's hard to say—"
Li Xinchun heard the wit in Shao Xia's words and sneered:
"If Chen Ci can't do it, then no one can. Her needlework is unmatched in our company, isn't it, Mom?"
Li Xinchun deliberately kicked the ball to Cai Honghua. Cai Honghua was speechless for a moment, because even she could not deny that this Chen Ci was not good at anything else, but her needlework and embroidery skills were indeed first-class. However, Cai Honghua was unwilling to praise Chen Ci in front of her son. She deliberately changed the subject and asked:
"Why haven't I heard of such a skillful girl in the Eighth Company? Is she also an educated youth?"
"It seems that he is either an educated youth or the child of a farm worker."
"Really? I'm pretty familiar with the Eighth Company. What's that girl's name? Maybe I know her."
"His name is—" Shao Xia seemed to be unable to remember. She mumbled for a long time before she remembered, "Oh, right, it seems to be Yu Xiaoye."
When the people of the Li family heard this name, their hearts trembled as if it was a conditioned reflex.
Especially Li Dasong, he immediately raised his drunken eyelids, and the family of three looked at each other.
Shao Xia noticed the dazed expression on Cai Honghua's face and thought she really knew that family:
"Aunt, do you know that family? Are you familiar with them?"
Cai Honghua was distracted for a moment before she shook her head in panic:
"Oh, no, I don't know him—By the way, is there anyone named Yu in the Eighth Company?"
The latter sentence was asked to Li Dasong.
Li Dasong was also full of doubts, and he asked his son:
"Chunzi, is there anyone with the surname Yu in the Eighth Company?"
Li Xinchun was bewildered: "I don't know either. I've never heard of anyone named Yu in the Eighth Company."
Shao Xia was surprised to see the family's reaction. Why? Is it so important whether there is someone with the surname Yu in the Eighth Company?
In fact, Li Dasong's family was not so sensitive about whether there was anyone with the surname Yu in the Eighth Company. What they were sensitive about was the name Yu Xiaoye!
When Li Dasong was communicating with his distant relative Yu Jiahui in his hometown of Dongyang Province, he only knew that Yu Jiahui had a little girl who was willing to marry their Anzi, but he didn't know the girl's name, let alone the names of Yu Jiahui's two sons.
Later, when Yu Jiahui's two sons came to their house, Li Dasong's family learned that the brothers were named Yu Daye and Yu Erye. However, they still didn't know what Yu Jiahui's little girl was named.
At this moment, they suddenly heard that there was someone named Yu Xiaoye, and the three of them naturally thought of the two brothers of the Yu family.
Yu Daye, Yu Erye, and Yu Xiaoye, anyone who hears this will associate these three people together.
Isn’t this name too similar?
Is it just a coincidence, or—
The people of the Li family didn't dare to think too deeply about it, but they couldn't help but let their imagination run wild.
Shao Xia, who was standing by, saw that the family had strange expressions on their faces, as if they were worried about something. She didn't want to disturb them any more, so she stood up and said,
"Uncle, aunt, I'm going back after I finish my meal."
Li Dasong suddenly asked:
"Xiao Shao, do you know what the name of Yu Xiaoye's father is?"
"Huh?" Shao Xia was stunned. "Uncle Li, I really don't know about that."
Cai Honghua tried to smooth things over and said:
"It's okay. Well, it's getting late. I won't keep you here any longer. You two should go back and rest early."
"Um."
Shao Xia and Shen Ci left together, and Li Xinchun also stood up to see them off.
As soon as the three men left, Cai Honghua and Li Dasong started muttering:
"Hey, old man, the guy named Yu Xiaoye that Shao Zhiqing mentioned just now sounds so similar to those two guys."
Li Dasong: "Do you think so too?"
"Yes, the point is, we've never heard of a family with the surname Yu in the Eighth Company before. If it was a new educated youth, that's normal, but if it was an old employee, there's no reason why we haven't heard of it."
Li Dasong rolled his eyes and put forward a very bold idea:
"Tell me, is it possible that this Yu Xiaoye is the biological sister of those two brothers, and the wife that our Anzi is going to marry?"
Cai Honghua slapped her thigh:
"You think so too?!"
The old couple were shocked by their own idea, and even they felt it was a fantasy, but they couldn't help but have such a fantasy.
At this moment, Li Xinchun suddenly rushed into the house.
The old couple originally thought that after their son sent the two educated youth back, he would definitely take the opportunity to hang out with the young educated youth named Chen Ci, but they didn't expect him to come back so soon.
As soon as he entered the room, he asked:
"Dad, Mom, are you all suspecting that the Yu Xiaoye Shao Xia just mentioned is the brothers' sister?"
The old couple said in unison:
"You think so too?"
Li Xinchun said:
"Isn't it obvious? The names are the same. Dad, don't you know the name of the little sister from the Yu family?"
A strange light radiated from Li Dasong's eyes:
"I don't know. Yu Jiahui never mentioned it in the letter, but I think this matter is a bit strange—"
Li Dasong began to analyze.
The strange thing about this matter is not only that the three names are similar, but also that the two brothers of the Yu family suddenly left without saying goodbye this afternoon. This is also quite puzzling. Why did they leave so suddenly?
They had been staying here and couldn't be driven away, but suddenly they packed up and left without any warning. Combining this incident with something with a similar name, Li Dasong suspected that the people from the Yu family might be hiding in the Eighth Company!
The brothers' sudden departure was also related to the Yu family.
Thinking of this, the whole family couldn't sit still anymore.
Even Li Xinchun was full of curiosity.
To be honest, Li Xinchun didn't care about the Yu family at all. However, as the matter developed to this point, it did arouse Li Xinchun's curiosity, because he felt that this family was a bit mysterious.
He came inexplicably and got separated inexplicably. The two brothers stayed in his house for a while inexplicably and now left inexplicably. Now there is a suspicious person in the neighboring company inexplicably.
This family was a bit baffling from beginning to end.
Who wouldn’t want to find out?
