Picking mulberries

"Why are you crying and howling, keep your voice down." Shen Xiuping, who had just opened the gate of the villa for Shen Aiping in front of the videophone, had an air of habit.

"I saw Cui messing around with others this time. I bumped into him in a locker. I bought big and small bags for that little vixen and put them on the car." Shen Aiping was indignant, breathless, "I didn't mean you, my sister is too useless, so just let him mess around? If you are afraid of losing face, I'll ask the third and fourth to stop you."

"Okay, okay, don't yell, you know I can't stand the noise, do you want me to die early?" Shen Xiuping sat on the sofa and rubbed her forehead, "It's not easy to do business. Will give customers some small gifts."

"Customer? Hmph, what kind of ostrich are you pretending to be like a golden-haired phoenix? It's not once or twice that you pretended to be confused with me. It's because you are too cowardly that the Cui will become more and more reckless, and go too far. Didn't you see that the little vixen this time is not as old as Dong Xu, and he is more than enough to be his daughter. He should still be a college student at school. Tsk tsk tsk, the way the two of them are chatting with each other makes my hair stand on end, it's not them Drive fast, I've already stepped forward and tore that slut's face." Shen Aiping saw that the eldest sister was still indifferent, and her voice suddenly raised several octaves.

"You are a real person. Why can't you get rid of your loud voice? There are neighbors next door. It's not good to spread the word."

"Heh, he's afraid that I'll tell if he can do it. He's short of an advertisement on TV. You still want to help him cover it?" Shen Aiping became even more angry when she saw her sister's virtue.

"Keep down, Dongxu is back from the weekend, and he's resting upstairs in the morning." Shen Xiuping gave Second Sister a hard look.

"Dongxu is at home?" Shen Aiping then lowered her voice, "I'm so mad, I'm so mad, hurry up, give me a bottle of drink, it's true that the emperor is not in a hurry and the eunuch is in a hurry, I see through you, no wonder you will If you are sick, it’s no wonder you don’t get sick if you have something to worry about. The stinky hooligan surnamed Cui has his conscience eaten by a dog. Wouldn’t it be you who can have a good life now? Get up early and help him take care of things in the factory. Everyone is tired It's a long-term illness, and when I have two stinky money, I will despise my wife like stinky shit. I can't swallow this breath, and I will talk to the third and youngest when I turn around, and I will vent my anger for you no matter what. "

"You'd better go back, Chi Chi Wai Wai is annoying me so much." Shen Xiuping took out a bottle of drink from the refrigerator and threw it to Shen Aiping.

"It's not because you live alone in this empty house, so I won't come here. How can you get better if you stay at home every day? Go out and walk more. Listen to me. Let's go to Cui every day to make trouble. If you make a fuss, not to mention that he will restrain himself, maybe your own health will get better."

"Don't name Cui one by one, he's your brother-in-law," Shen Xiuping sighed, "Don't be a fuss, what's the point of making a fuss, if it affects the business of the factory, it's embarrassing."

"What's there to be ashamed of, it's shameful for you to be a coward." Shen Aiping snorted.

"Don't see the wind as the rain at every turn. Why do you blame your brother-in-law without evidence? He is good for our Shen family. If your parents are sick, which of the five brothers and sisters will have a lot of trouble? If your father died He was busy and buried in a splendid manner, and it was not your brother-in-law who confessed that my younger brother was studying, so don't blow your nose and stare here, for all these years, he has been worthy of me."

"Yes, yes, that's right, the little brother relies on him to study, and he takes advantage of others, so when he sees his sister being bullied, the kid doesn't give a shit. Just deceive yourself, everyone knows it, so what evidence is there? Ah," Shen Aiping suddenly said in a soft voice halfway through the speech, "Sister, Dongxu must not be ignorant of his father's messing around outside, so he won't advocate justice for you."

"Second brother, don't gossip in Dongxu's ear, or don't say that I don't miss sisterhood." Shen Xiuping immediately scolded him.

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, knowing that your son is the meat of your heart, the baby will be dead." Seeing her sister getting angry, Shen Aiping murmured weakly.

Cui Dongxu heard all the conversation downstairs, and it was hard not to hear the second aunt's machine-gun-like mouth.

It's not that he hasn't heard about his father, Cui Shicheng, raising a young lover outside. Although he complains about his mother, he is not as violent as his second aunt. For one thing, he, a son, can't control his father. Private matters; the second is the social atmosphere, the uncles who are called brothers and sisters around the house are not the red flags at home. The colorful flags are fluttering outside. Even if you want to get serious with him for a while, it is difficult to turn your face away.

After many rumors about Cui Shicheng's misbehavior spread among the relatives around him, the relationship between Cui Dongxu and his father also slowly changed.

In Cui Dongxu's eyes, the relationship between father and son is much weaker than before. In addition, Cui Shicheng is busy with business and rarely goes home. He went to university and continued his master's and doctoral studies. There is no intersection between father and son. It is rare to meet each other. , I can't talk a few words when we meet.

In Cui Shicheng's eyes, his son has grown up, he is even handsomer than himself when he stands up, he has his own thoughts, and he is no longer the kid who hugged his legs and acted like a good boy when he came home. Although he was happy, he also felt a sense of loss. And the sense of distance, it is rare to meet at home, just ask if there is any money to spend, the son said no, he also forced a few bank cards, I feel that giving the money is like fulfilling the duty of being a father, nothing else The topic is easy to communicate.

Cui Dongxu is good at studying, and he has never gotten into any troubles. He walks out clean and tidy, delicate and energetic, which makes Cui Shicheng earn a lot of face in his circle of friends.After Cui Dongxu was admitted to a key university, Cui Shicheng originally thought that he could major in economics, but he did not expect that Cui Dongxu chose a remote and unpopular agricultural phytopathology. He said it a few times, but Cui Dongxu was as angry as Cui Shicheng. He refused to listen to persuasion, so Cui Shicheng had no choice but to let him go.

For Cui Shicheng, Cui Dongxu's success in studying is just a momentary glory. In his heart, he still wants Cui Dongxu to take over his class, thinking that after four years of graduation, he will enter the factory and slowly help take care of it.To Cui Shicheng's surprise, Cui Dongxu studied too well, and four years later he came to do a combined master's and doctoral degree.

Although Cui Shicheng is old-hearted, he is nearly fifty years old and often sleeps outside, but he is always doting on his son. He is a little disappointed that his son has to bury his head in the book after he has completed his master's degree, but after all, it is a matter of people. Envy, so love overflows, regardless of whether the son needs it or not, when other students are still struggling to buy a BP machine by tightening their belts, they give their son a mobile phone, plus a car.Cui Dongxu's college and graduate studies are all in this city, not far from home, he is introverted, and his circle is extremely narrow, between school and home, he rarely uses his mobile phone, not to mention the car.

In addition to Cui Shicheng being disappointed by Cui Dongxu's love for school, there is another thing that makes Cui Shicheng a little dissatisfied is his son's temperament. He is too docile and well-behaved. It's those eyes, a boy just inherited Shen Xiuping's red phoenix eyes, they are extremely charming, with long hair, they are better than the current celebrity Fan Mouye.Cui Shicheng wanted to take his son out to see the world, to meet friends in the business field and practice his temper, but Cui Dongxu didn't catch a cold at all, and when he was in a hurry, he even made a bad face with Cui Shicheng.Cui Shicheng had a guilty conscience, and felt that his son's disposition was so deserted, which might be due to his misbehavior outside, so he lost the confidence to be strict with his father, and his son's arrogance of an intellectual made him a little ashamed and even more helpless. Control the intention of the son.

Cui's family lives in the Banyue Lake villa area, which is a well-known rich area in Qingyuan City. The single-family villa shows Cui Shicheng's solid family background, and the bright windows and the prosperity of flowers and grass also show that Shen Xiuping and Cui Dongxu's mother and son are peaceful. Quiet character.

"Second aunt is here." Cui Dongxu went downstairs as if he had just woken up when he heard the two sisters downstairs chatting about their daily routine.

"Dongxu woke up," Shen Aiping said with a smile on his face, "I was so suffocated in the store that I ran away to chat with your mother." Shen Aiping and her husband Lang Chuanguo opened a small supermarket. By my parents' side, I help to look at the store and stock.

"Business is okay, I haven't seen my cousin for a long time."

"That kid doesn't go home for two or three days. He bought a motorcycle and went crazy. His hair looks different every day. It's either yellow or red. He looks like a yaksha. Whenever he sees him, he's annoying." Shen Aiping shook her head, "Dong Xu, are you graduating soon?"

"It's early, there are still several years." Cui Dongxu smiled.

"Oh, it's useless to read too much. I think it's better to come back early to help your father take care of the factory. Besides, you've reached the age of starting a family, so you can find your mother early so you can have a talking partner."

"You are a real person, what are you talking about, if you can't study well, what should you do, and you just idle around every day?" Shen Xiuping was very unhappy with the second sister.

"Look around us, is there anyone who likes to make their children bookworms?" Shen Aiping disagrees, "Besides, our Dongxu is handsome and handsome. What's not good about reading, and we just want to learn it." What kind of agriculture, I want to go to the countryside to dig the soil."

"Others are others, I just hope that my children can study in peace and find a stable job." Shen Xiuping said.

"Dongxu, what about you, do you really like sitting in an office, boiling a cup of tea and a newspaper?" Shen Aiping asked.

"Well, I'm not interested in doing business." Cui Dongxu's mouth curled up.

"There is nothing perfect in this world," Shen Aiping said with emotion, "You are so quiet, you are like a lady from a big family, you are fine if you don't go out for a year, and your cousin is too noisy. You can't stay quiet for a long time, there are a lot of cronies and friends, and you are out of shape all day long, it would be great if you two could make peace."

"Then when will you reconcile me with my cousin and let you sisters live again." Cui Dongxu joked.

"Ha..., you thought it was a face-to-face meeting," Shen Aiping was also amused, "Dongxu, let's go out and have fun more often, there are no young people who are not active."

"What's so good about being active, being flashy and frivolous, I just hope that my family Dongxu can continue to engage in scientific research, teach and so on in the future, and be at ease." Shen Xiuping retorted.

"Hey, I really can't stand your mother and son."

"Second aunt, has uncle returned to China?" Cui Dongxu avoided the topic.Shen Xiuping has five siblings, four girls and one boy. Shen Xiuping is the eldest, Shen Aiping is the second child, the third child is Shen Jinping, the fourth child is Shen Yiping, and Cui Dongxu's uncle Shen He is the youngest. After graduating from university, he was assigned to a state-owned enterprise. In [-], he resigned and joined a foreign-funded company, and sometimes went abroad on business trips.

"Not yet, they said they would arrive tomorrow."

"Second brother, do you have Meishu's pager number? I want to ask her something." Shen Xiuping asked.Yi Meishu is Aunt Cui Dongxu and Shen He's wife. She used to work as an accountant in a company. After giving birth to her son Shen Zhixie, she resigned and became a full-time wife at home.

"No, she seems to have changed the BB machine again." Shen Aiping shook her head, "What can I do with her? Why don't I turn around and go to my little brother's house."

"Isn't Zhixie about to turn three years old? I want to ask her whether she wants to celebrate her birthday at home or go to a hotel. If I go to a hotel, I'll make a reservation first."

"Yeah, that's right, the little guy Zhixie was born in April, and I still have a good memory," Shen Aiping said with some complaints, "I always think about their big and small things. You have been sick for so long, but Meishu's thing is rare. Come to see you, it's really impersonal."

"What nonsense, I'm not sick in bed. I have a headache and backache. It's not easy for her to take care of the little one alone." No, go to your younger brother’s house and ask.”

"Okay, I'll ask by the way when I go to see my younger brother tomorrow." Shen Aiping looked at her sister's legs, "I haven't recovered from the problem with my feet. I heard that leopard bones are useful. How about I ask Chuanguo to go to Sanfan Road to inquire about it?" , see if I can get some leopard bones."

"Nonsense, Dongxu took me to see the small clinics of big hospitals no less than a thousand times. What you heard by hearsay is more useful than those doctors and doctors." Shen Xiuping shook her head with a smile.

"A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor. It's better to try than not to try." No matter how many prescriptions he took, Shen Aiping was a little worried about her sister's old problems.

"Oh, oh, I'm so annoying. It's okay if you don't come. Once you come, nothing good will happen. If I don't die, I will be cursed to death by you. You should go back to your shop as soon as possible." Shen Xiuping scolded with staring eyes.

"Hey, really, you think I like to see you, an old woman who doesn't live up to expectations, and you think about my sister's love. If you don't bother me, I'll leave now." Shen Aiping didn't show any weakness.

"Second aunt, I'll drive you off." Cui Dongxu smiled.The two sisters often bicker, and Cui Dongxu is not surprised.

"Here, there is a box of Korean ginseng in the middle, you take it to make wine for Chuan Guo, doesn't he like it." Shen Xiuping pointed to the closet and said to Shen Aiping.

"Ginseng?" Shen Aiping walked over to open the closet, "The packaging is so delicate, where did it come from?"

"Your brother-in-law brought it last week."

"Chuan Guo has soaked enough for him to drink for half a year, forget it," Shen Aiping put the box of ginseng back, and seeing Cui Dongxu going upstairs to get the car keys, she hurriedly stopped her and said, "Dongxu, no need, the bus It's very convenient to stop right in front of my supermarket. Get up early tomorrow and go to the airport to pick up your uncle."

"Oh, I know."

After Shen Aiping left, Shen Xiuping asked Cui Dongxu to remember to take the box of ginseng into the car tomorrow, and gave it to the second uncle on the way, and asked his son what birthday gift he should buy for Zhixie.

"Just buy some clothes. Don't make them so expensive. The second and third aunts and aunts will blame you if they don't say anything." Cui Dongxu suggested.

"That's right, when will you take me to the shopping mall?"

"it is good."

"Don't worry about leaving it there, Mama Su will come over later." Seeing her son wanting to get some dirty clothes in the laundry basket, Shen Xiuping signaled him to let the nanny come, "Let's go to the yard to see the grapes you transplanted." Did you come here?"

"Mom, don't you believe in the son of a botanist?" Cui Dongxu laughed.

"Dongxu," Shen Xiuping asked suddenly when walking towards the yard, "Has your father contacted you recently?"
