On the morning of the 17th, it was raining heavily.
Lin Qiang hurried to the door of Xu Hongping's house.
He propped up his knees and whispered: Aunt, I'm here.
There was no reaction from the back room.
He walked forward and shouted: Aunt, aunt...
Xu Hongping took Li Feng and replied: Who is it? The door is not bolted, come in!
"Mom, is there still tea in that teapot?" Shitou asked:
Xu Hongping shook the teapot and replied: Not much more.
Shi Shi stood up and walked straight to the teapot.
"Aunt, aunt, we haven't seen each other for a few days. I'm so happy to see aunt today." Lin Qiang said excitedly:
Lin Fan followed behind and said: Xiaoqiang, you can't speak, so don't talk nonsense. When you see your aunt, you are happy, so why do you say "die"! Early in the morning, you are not afraid of "bad luck"!
Xu Hongping turned her head and said with a smile: It's okay, it's okay, you guys sit down, you guys sit down.
"Hello, uncle, hello aunt." Sulan walked into the room and said politely:
Lin Fan bowed and said: Hello uncle, hello aunt.
Uncle Tang replied: You don't have to be polite, just sit on the stool.
Lin Qiang ran to Uncle Tang and asked: Uncle, what are you reading? Are you so fascinated by this?
Xu Hongping called out: Xiaoqiang, you don’t know him, what kind of book does he read? He is always like this, as if he wants to read through the book!
"Xiaoqiang, if you can read as seriously as uncle, you won't be unable to read well." Lin Fan said:
"Lin Fan, Xiaoqiang, Sister Sulan, come over and have tea." Shitou shouted:
Lin Fan and the others went to serve tea one after another.
Tang Bo asked: Xiaoqiang, are you studying?
Xiaoqiang responded: Yes! Today is Sunday, so I have time to come over and play with my brother and sister.
otherwise······
Xu Hongping shouted: Shitou, go ask Erfeng and Miner to cook some noodles to treat Xiaoqiang and the others...
"There's no need to cook anything. We'll come right after we finish the meal at home." Erfeng said:
Xu Hongping said: Su Lan, don’t refuse! You have traveled such a long way, no matter how full you are, it is time to digest...
"Aunt, we came right after we had eaten. We really can't eat any more." Lin Fan interrupted:
Xu Hongping shouted: Shitou, why are you standing! You go quickly.
Shitou rushed into the back room.
Lin Fan took a breath and said helplessly: Aunt, you are so!
Su Lan approached Xiao Feng'er and teased: Xiao Feng'er, come here and give me a hug.
Li Feng clung to Xu Hongping.
Xu Hongping called out: "Xiao Feng'er rarely sees you, she is a little shy."
Sulan said: "I'll go in and talk to Sister Erfeng and the others."
Xu Hongping then said: Go ahead! You young people need to talk more.
Xiaoqiang rushed to Xu Hongping and asked: Aunt, is her name Xiaofeng'er?
Uncle Tang replied: Her name is Li Feng.
Xu Hongping echoed: Xiaofeng'er is her nickname.
Xiaoqiang took Xiaofeng'er's hand and called: Xiaofeng'er, brother, can you give me a hug?
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Xiaofeng'er, uncle Xiaoqiang will hug you!
Xiao Qiang was puzzled and said: Aunt, why did Xiao Feng'er call me uncle!
Xu Hongping explained: Shitou is Xiaofeng'er's father. Your name is Shitou - eldest brother. Naturally, you are Xiaofeng'er's uncle.
Lin Fan took a sip of tea and said with a smile: Xiaoqiang, you are not happy to be an uncle.
Xiaoqiang had a sullen face and muttered: I am still a child.
Xu Hongping said cheerfully: You are also an uncle!
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter in the room.
Uncle Tang smiled and said: Xiaoqiang, you are young now.
But, you will grow up.
Xiaoqiang said displeased: When Xiaoqiang grows up, Xiaofeng'er will also grow up.
"Hahaha"
Tang Bo praised: Xiaoqiang is so smart.
"That's when the teacher in our class often calls me smart and calls me - fool smart. I asked the teacher, why don't you call me - so smart! The teacher said I look like a fool and calls me - fool smart More vividly, I wondered: What does it mean to be smart like a fool! The teacher replied: It means being smart like a fool. I thought for a while and asked: Why do you call smart a fool? The teacher yelled, you are a fool, and I said, I'm a fool, what are you!" Xiaoqiang said proudly:
Uncle Tang giggled and said: Your teacher is so angry that you are vomiting blood!
Xiaoqiang replied: Nope!
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Xiaoqiang, you are quite humorous at your young age.
Xiao Qiang said: Aunt, I am a fool. What Uncle Tang just said was nothing more than comforting me...
"Xiaoqiang, don't belittle yourself! In fact, a smart person does not necessarily rely on reading. He is like a stone that goes into the inner room. He has not read a book, but his intelligence cannot be compared with ordinary people. He can be a good person in Fengxian Town and even the whole country. It is said to be a unique existence." Xu Hongping said:
Lin Fan was stunned and said: Brother has never read a book!
Uncle Tang continued: What's so surprising about this! Shitou has never read a book, but he has studied on his own. As the saying goes, "knowledge changes destiny." If you learn more knowledge, you will never go wrong.
"Stop putting gold on your face, you have so much knowledge, you are not as good as a finger on a stone." Xu Hongping said:
"I admit that Shitou has his own uniqueness. He has a very high understanding of life. As the saying goes: The thirty-sixth line leads to the top scholar. Shitou can find his own way. He can't do without science. Open up knowledge." Tang Bo said:
Xu Hongping said angrily: "Three words, don't leave your profession, what is science!" What knowledge! I get angry when I talk about this.
Lin Fan advised: Uncle, aunt, you two should stop arguing.
Xu Hongping called out: He has been sitting for a long time and is "idle".
Tang Bo responded: I...
"Aunt, let's go over there and have tea." Xiaoqiang tugged on Xu Hongping's sleeve and whispered:
Xu Hongping moved and muttered: "I'm going over there, I'm too lazy to talk to you."
"Mom, you and my dad are quarreling again, right?" Shitou came over holding a stack of bowls and chopsticks.
Xu Hongping said: He has nothing to do, he stays with that broken book every day, and he talks about science and knowledge! He boasts himself so high and mighty, as if he is really a Wenqu star from heaven descending to earth.
Shitou replied: Mom, Dad is introverted. He doesn't like loud things. He likes silence. He loves reading. He doesn't disturb others and can calm his own mind. What's wrong with that! Another thing, you two are husband and wife and have lived with each other for decades, why should you hurt your feelings over these trivial things!
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Shitou, why are you so serious! It’s not that you don’t know! Your dad's mouth is as if it's sewn shut. He can't say a few words all day long. If I don't argue with him, it'll be weird if his mouth doesn't stink!
Uncle Tang echoed: It should be noisy, it should be noisy.
"It turned out to be flirting." Shitou muttered silently:
Xu Hongping said: It has been decades and there has been no progress...
"Mom, Dad's attitude is so good today, why are you willing to scold him!" Shitou held up his chopsticks and said with a smile:
Xu Hongping replied: If I didn’t scold him, his attitude would be so good!
Uncle Tang giggled and said: Well done, well done.
"Mom, Dad, Lin Fan, Xiaoqiang, come around and eat vermicelli!" Erfeng held a basin of vermicelli and shouted:
Su Lan ran to the table and called: Uncle, aunt, let me help you fill the vermicelli.
Xu Hongping replied: I feel a little unwell this morning.
Besides, we had just eaten.
Su Lan argued: Auntie, we said it before we made the vermicelli - no, you insist on Sister Erfeng and the others making it. The vermicelli is ready, but you refuse to eat it. You are the mistress of the house, and the master won't even eat it. , How dare we use chopsticks!
Xu Hongping was stunned and said: This!
Sulan shouted: Uncle, come and eat too.
Shitou called out: Mom, you can eat some.
Erfeng walked up to Xu Hongping and said: Mom, please give me little Feng'er to hold her for a while.
Xiao Feng'er said: I want to eat noodles.
Erfeng hugged Xiaofeng'er and said with a smile: "Mom, feed you some vermicelli."
She reached for the bowl.
The stone blocked Erfeng's hand and said: Sister Erfeng, let me come.
Erfeng retracted his hand and coaxed: "Xiao Feng'er, wait a minute, you let dad put the vermicelli in his hands and "eat it again."
Lin Fan glanced at Erfeng and said silently: Wow! beautiful.
Xiaoqiang saw Lin Fan staring at Erfeng, pushed Lin Fan with his hand, and shouted: Brother, eat the vermicelli quickly.
Lin Fan came to his senses and responded: Oh!
Xu Hongping shouted: You are all welcome! Just be casual.
Su Lan then said: Aunt, what are you being polite about? We are all old acquaintances, you are worried that I will be polite to you!
Xu Hongping argued: I didn't say you would be polite. This is the first time for Lin Fan brothers to come to my house. I'm afraid they will be restrained...
"Auntie has a good memory, but we brothers don't know etiquette. I hope uncle and auntie will forgive me if we do something inappropriate!" Lin Fan praised:
Xu Hongping smiled and said: Lin Fan eats rice noodles, and Xiaoqiang eats rice noodles. The more you eat, the happier auntie will be.
Lin Fan bowed and said: "Auntie eats, everyone eats."
Erfeng took a handful of vermicelli and blew it, hissing...
The stone placed the bowl and said: Sister Erfeng, let me feed Xiao Feng'er. You sit over and eat some vermicelli.
Erfeng handed Xiaofeng'er and said, "Okay!" You need to cool down the vermicelli before feeding it.
Lin Fan faced Erfeng and called out: Sister-in-law, right? I heard Su Lan say that you are beautiful and a good housekeeper. I am lucky enough to meet you today, and you are indeed worthy of your reputation.
Erfeng smiled and said: Brother Lin, thank you!
Xiaoqiang continued: My sister-in-law is so beautiful and charming. She and Brother Shitou are a pair of handsome men, beautiful women, talented people and beauties...
"You are still a child, what do you know about beauty!" Xu Hongping interrupted:
Xiaoqiang responded: I understand.
"Where did you steal these flattering idioms? You made me talk so eloquently that I couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north." Shitou turned around and poked Xiaoqiang's forehead.
Xiaoqiang took Lin Fan's hand and asked: Brother, what is flattery?
Lin Fan explained: It means to please others.
"Xiaoqiang, stop pretending to be dumbfounded with me. You just talked endlessly and spoke plausibly. How can you even flatter Lin Fan to come over and smooth things over!" Shitou scolded:
Xiaoqiang said: I'm not pretending to be stupid. The idioms I recited are from the books. There are also words in the books about growing old together, being in love, having both talent and beauty, being a perfect match...
"Stop it. If you keep talking, it will be dark. You finish the vermicelli on the bowl, and we have to go home." Lin Fan shouted:
Uncle Tang asked curiously: Xiaoqiang, you wrote these down in the book.
Xiaoqiang nodded and replied: Yes.
Uncle Tang patted Xiaoqiang on the shoulder and praised: Xiaoqiang, you are doing well. If you study hard, you will definitely be successful in the future.
Xu Hongping said softly: Another nerd.
Xiaoqiang said happily: I want to read many, many books like my uncle.
Uncle Tang replied: You can't be like me, you have to be a useful person to the country.
Xiaoqiang looked confused and asked: Uncle, aren't you useless?
"Spray" Xu Hongping sprayed a mouthful of vermicelli on the ground.
Everyone laughed in unison.
Tang Bo held back his laughter and said: People who are useful to the country refer specifically to those who are officials, scientific researchers, professors...
"Farmers are also useful. If farmers don't farm, what will they eat?" Lin Qiang said:
Tang Bo continued: Xiaoqiang is very smart, and farmers are very important.
But there are no scientific researchers to study new varieties, so what do farmers plant? The things farmers grow will always be those things, and the quality will not keep up.
Xiaoqiang responded: Yes...
"Xiaoqiang, hurry up and eat the vermicelli. If you keep grinding, we will leave." Su Lan shouted:
Xu Hongping called out: Xiaoqiang, eat slowly, don't listen to them! Be careful if you eat too quickly and choke.
You finally came to my house, but you have to leave in the afternoon!
"Aunt, don't keep us. We still have things to do at home. If we go back late, dad will be unhappy." Su Lan replied:
Xu Hongping argued: Sulan don't try to stall me! On this rainy day, what will Brother Zhu ask you to do?
Lin Fan said: It didn't rain very much today and there was a lot of farm work in the fields. We were deliberately lazy all morning and came to visit our aunt's house.
"You've all come here, why don't you take care of yourself now that you're here! Just sit with us for a while." Shitou responded:
Lin Fan replied: Next time, next time, I made an agreement with dad today that I will come here for a while at most.
In addition, Xiaoqiang still has some homework, and I have to go back and supervise him to finish it.
Shitou continued: Sit down peacefully...
"Brother, don't embarrass me!" Lin Fan bowed and said:
Xu Hongping called out: Lin Fan, why is it so difficult for me to keep you? If you insist on leaving! We are no longer trying to persuade you to stay, but please be careful on the road and come back to play another day.
Sulan leaned next to Erfeng and said: Sister Erfeng, after we parted today, I don’t know when we will see each other again!
Erfeng said: We are not far away. We can meet any day we want!
Su Lan replied: Having said that...
"We are both still young, and we have a long time to come." Erfeng said with a smile:
"Sister Su Lan, if it's not convenient for you to come over to our house, we can go over to your house to play." Min'er said:
Sulan said cheerfully: Welcome, welcome, welcome to my home, I'm waiting for you at home...
"Uncle, aunt, take care, we're leaving!" Lin Fan dragged Lin Qiang and shouted:
Lin Qiang shouted: Uncle, aunt, let's see you again.
Xu Hongping shouted: Xiaoqiang, come to your aunt's house to play when you have time.
Uncle Tang asked: Xiaoqiang, you should listen carefully in class and strive to make progress every day.
Lin Qiang thanked him: Thank you Uncle Tang for your encouragement! I will work hard to improve.
Lin Fan faced the stone and called out: Brother, let's see you another day!
Shitou waved his hand and said: See you another day...
