Cheng Mingyue reluctantly agreed, but she didn't take it to heart; if Cheng Yuandong hadn't taken her out of the wooden shed on the spot and asked her to go now, she would have forgotten it later.
"Brother, why are you here?" Cheng Yuanxi raised his head and looked at the two people approaching, his displeasure with Cheng Mingyue deepened; even though there was some affection before, it was completely gone now.
Chen Daya, Cheng Mingli, and Mingyi's mother and son beside Cheng Yuanxi also looked at Cheng Yuandong.
Cheng Mingli and Mingyi stood up and said hello, "Uncle, you are here. Sit down here and talk."
Cheng Mingli pointed to the unoccupied seat on the other side of Cheng Yuanxi.
"Hey, good, good boy." Cheng Yuandong expressed his affection to the two of them with a smile, and glanced at his third brother's expression.
Cheng Yuanxi nodded lightly, and Cheng Yuandong walked to him and sat down. He said with an apologetic expression, "Third brother, third brother and sister, I really can't help you. My Yueyue is not very clear-headed, and she actually came to trouble Mingli. It's me. You and your sister-in-law don’t know how to teach your daughter.”
"It's all over." Cheng Yuanxi said. Chen Daya said nothing and didn't even look at Cheng Mingyue.
Not to mention the child is young, there are some who are younger than her; her daughter is by her side, her daughter is so sensible, but if you look at Cheng Mingyue, she looks like a fool.
Cheng Yuandong saw that the third brother and his wife were not very interested, and he knew that what his daughter said had offended the third brother.
"Yueyue, come here and apologize to your cousins."
Cheng Mingyue pursed her lips and walked forward slowly; under Cheng Yuandong's stern eyes she said reluctantly: "I'm sorry."
"What are you sorry for? Who are you sorry for? Apologize well." Cheng Yuandong spoke again.
As soon as these words came out, Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya looked a little better. In any case, Dafang's attitude was stable. Cheng Mingyue apologized unwillingly, do you think they couldn't tell? If Cheng Yuandong doesn't speak up, even if they forgive him on the surface, they will still be estranged from Da Fang privately.
It is true that people's hearts are biased.
Between children and brothers, children are naturally more important; when brothers get married and have a small family, they have a lot of helplessness and plans. Their children are still young and do not know how to plan for themselves. Cheng Yuanxi and Chen Daya naturally prefer Holding one's own children.
"Brother Li, I'm sorry, cousin, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been willful."
Mingyi:.
Do you only admit to being willful, but don’t you feel that you have done something wrong?
Mingyi could think of this, but Mingli could not imagine that he was always a person who did not have much life experience and could not understand the meaning of his words.
"Cousin Yue just needs to know her mistakes. Confucius said: Knowing your mistakes can make a lot of improvements." Cheng Mingli said.
Mingyi supports his forehead.
Chen Daya cast a funny glance at her daughter, who was holding her forehead up. She didn't know how she made such a funny move; the key was to let others know what she wanted to express.
"Brother, this matter is over. The family will not say those kind words; but, as the third uncle, there is something I have to say to Mingyue."
Cheng Yuandong nodded, "Third brother, just say it, if Yueyue doesn't listen, her mother will deal with her when she goes back."
Cheng Yuanxi looked at Cheng Mingyue with an expression that changed from casual disdain to immediately listening carefully and nodding with satisfaction after hearing Cheng Yuandong's words.
"Girl Mingyue, the Cheng family is not the Cheng family of one person, but the Cheng family of all of us descendants of the Cheng family. Next time you see your brothers and sisters feeling uncomfortable, think more about the entire Cheng family."
As soon as he said this, Cheng Yuandong nodded repeatedly without seeing Cheng Mingyue's jealous and distorted look, and said seriously: "Your third uncle is right. In the future, when you speak and act, you should think more about your family's reputation, the elders in the family, and the fact that you are part of the same family." friendship; you shouldn’t take it out on someone just because you feel unhappy.”
Cheng Mingyue agreed one by one, and her attitude seemed very good. In fact, three members of Mingyi's family saw Cheng Mingyue's duplicity.
After sending Cheng Yuandong and his daughter away, Chen Daya patted the daughter beside him on the back gently, "Girl, what weird little tricks did you do in public? Fortunately, your uncle couldn't see your little tricks."
"Mom, I don't like my cousin. It's more normal to express it more clearly. It'll be okay if my uncle sees it." Mingyi pretended not to care, and Chen Daya tapped her on the head.
"You can't say these things in front of outsiders, just say them in front of your mother."
Mingyi nodded seriously and advised her to listen, "I know."
"You kid, you are a little willful now." As soon as Chen Daya finished speaking, Cheng Yuanxi said unhappily: "Our girl is such a good girl, why are you so willful?"
Chen Daya was not angry, "It's good. It can be said that those who are close to red are red and those who are close to ink are black. Cheng Mingyue must have led her to become willful."
Cheng Yuanxi: Forget it, it’s whatever the lady says.
Mingyi couldn't help laughing and fell on her brother's shoulder with laughter; Mingli straightened her up, not forgetting to tidy up her slightly messy clothes.
"Sit tight, girl, you are always careful about your appearance." After Chen Daya scolded him, he couldn't help but laugh. The smile only lasted for a few breaths, "Speaking of which, our life was not too sad when we were escaping from famine all the way. No one knows what the situation is.”
Cheng Yuanxi said: "As long as the family is together, if the soldiers come to block the water and the earth covers it, it will eventually pass."
Even if we can't make it through, the whole family will die together.
Chen Daya nodded heavily and touched her daughter's hair. No matter what, she would protect her daughter and son. These two were her life.
While they were talking, the patriarch walked over slowly. Seeing this, Cheng Yuanxi stood up to greet him.
Chen Daya, mother and son stood up and called the clan leader.
"Ming Li, take your sister back to bed and don't run out at night." Chen Daya warned.
The patriarch looked at the two children and said kindly, "Mingli and Mingyi are both good children. You are lucky."
"They are so brave. They go out and run wild, and we parents are worried at home; after all, they are ignorant." Cheng Yuanxi led the patriarch to the other side with a smile, and found a corner where no one was around to talk, "Chief, you Did you come to see me now for something?"
"It's something." The clan leader hesitated and stopped talking several times.
Cheng Yuanxi waited patiently.
After several struggles, the patriarch still spoke, "Yuan Xi, your two children, Ming Yi and Min Li, are really capable. It can be said that they are always empty-handed. I don't know where they caught the game. I know it's presumptuous to ask, but I have no choice. Several families in the clan are poor, they don’t have enough food to eat, and they can’t eat meat. Seeing that they can’t hold on any longer, I shamelessly came to ask.”
"If you can tell me, they will definitely be grateful to you." The clan leader blushed slightly with shame.
Cheng Yuanxi narrowed his eyes slightly, so these people thought of their family, which had a slightly better life; even their children were really shameless.
"Clan leader, it's okay to inform them, but there's no guarantee that we can catch game. After all, my children have caught a lot of game, and they didn't catch any game today, so they came back empty-handed."
