Cheng Ye's greatest achievement this summer vacation was spending time with his little aunt Xu Ying, and then followed Li Rui to meet Lao Xia.Although there was no formal apprenticeship, Lao Xia seemed to have brought Cheng Ye as his apprentice.

What Xu Ying brought to Cheng Ye was not only the warmth of the spring breeze, but also the re-education like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.She taught Cheng Ye some truths. In Xu Ying's words, it was something Cheng Ye didn't understand but must do.

Miss Xu said, "Cheng Ye, keep your head up and your chest up when you speak. When others look at you, you have to look at him and talk. If you are afraid, just stare at his nose and say... Don't bow your head again, you know? Boy, Show up some energy, there is still a long way to go in the future, and you have to take good care of grandma!"

Miss Xu also said, "Cheng Ye, you must study hard. In the future, my aunt will take you to the provincial capital to study, and you must be admitted to university! We study better than your cousin, and if you succeed... Kill your uncle!"

Cheng Ye listened to the first sentence, and tried his best to do what the little aunt said, but immediately expressed concern about Xu Ying's last sentence.

Miss Xu was reasonable, waved her hand, and made a decision for Cheng Ye, "Then get mad first! Huh, Cheng Ye, I want to check your homework. I will call your grandma when the time comes. If you fail the exam, Cheng Yue and the others Well, I will not be polite to you when I come back!"

Cheng Ye nodded in agreement, but still whispered to Xu Ying, "Auntie, my cousin and I are not in the same grade, and their questions are harder than mine..."

Xu Ying laughed when he heard him say this, "It's so difficult! It's all elementary school students' questions. I called you to do the questions yesterday. You are no worse than them! Remember, straighten your back in the future, our family Cheng Ye What's worse than them?"

Xu Ying really cared about Cheng Ye, whether she was holding her chopsticks too low when eating, or walking a little awkwardly, she would correct Cheng Ye one by one.

Especially the inner horoscope, Cheng Ye used to be introverted and didn't like to talk, and he always avoided people when he walked. This little problem has never been corrected.Xu Yingzhen started to teach Cheng Ye a lesson. She followed Cheng Ye with a twig, and knocked him when he made a mistake.

Cheng Ye's little problem has been corrected, but there are also a few light red marks on his calf.Xu Ying felt distressed when she saw it, but she didn't say that in her mouth, "It should have been like this a long time ago. Cheng Ye, you are a boy in our family, you must stand up straight and walk. You will have to take care of your family in the future. Here, do you know?"

Cheng Ye nodded, "I know."

Cheng Ye had no parents to take care of him since he was a child, and Grandma Cheng never touched him. When he went out, Li Rui took care of him.Except for Li Rui'ai who flicked his forehead, he has not been taught a lesson by anyone else.After Xu Ying came, there were clear rewards and punishments. If she did a good job, she would listen to nursery rhymes and stories. If she made a mistake, she would be reprimanded.Cheng Ye envied those who had mothers, envied that they could hear their mother calling them, and could be scolded by their mother's ears. He envied that everyone could have these ubiquitous little happiness.

The appearance of Xu Ying filled this gap.She had a great influence on Cheng Ye, even after many years, Cheng Ye respected her very much.

Before Xu Ying left, she finally cleaned up Cheng Ye.Seeing that Cheng Ye no longer walked with his head bowed, and was not timid when he was with other children, Xu Ying felt relieved.Everyone will encounter all kinds of difficulties in his life. These are not terrible. The important thing is that he makes the right choice to face these difficulties.She taught Cheng Ye self-confidence, hoped that he would be a responsible boy, and sincerely hoped that Cheng Ye would live well in the future.

The circle of children over there was disrupted. Cheng Ye was picked up by a boy in the middle of playing, and carried away.The children around are used to it, and they are still waving at Cheng Ye who was carried away...

Xu Ying took a look. It was the child from the family in front. Cheng Ye had mentioned his name, Li Rui.Seeing Cheng Ye hugging his neck and not letting go, she guessed that the two of them were used to playing, so she didn't stop her.Grandma Cheng also said that Cheng Ye was able to survive thanks to the goat's milk and milk from Li Rui's family, otherwise how could he survive only on millet soup.

Xu Ying sighed. She was still holding Cheng Ye's small clothes. The clothes were not big, not like those worn by a 10-year-old child.Grandma Cheng said that Cheng Ye would always be ill in winter, and she only hoped that the child would grow up safely.

Before Xu Ying left, Cheng's daughter-in-law did something stupid again.

The eldest daughter-in-law Cheng wanted to ease the relationship between her and her sister-in-law, and she also took a fancy to the bride price from the Zhang Chang's family. She wanted to match Xu Ying and let her marry the Chang Chang's family's stupid son.

Before she could finish speaking, Miss Xu scolded her, "Is there a sister-in-law like you in the world, who wants to push people into the fire pit!"

Mrs. Cheng's daughter-in-law retorted, "That's the son of Chang Chang's family! Although his head is a bit bad, but his family is rich... the girls from other families are just begging me, and I won't match them up!"

Xu Ying couldn't be bothered to listen any more, and pushed her out. "Let's go! Go find those who are begging for you, and talk to whoever you like!"

After the two of them spoke a few words, there was a complete gap between them, and they looked down on each other.Xu Ying felt that her personality had been insulted. What age is it still like this?The daughter-in-law of Cheng Boss thinks that she is really stupid. If she is a good student, how can she get married?The son of the field manager's head is a little sick. If he is not sick, it will be her turn!

The daughter-in-law of Cheng Boss refused to just leave, she was still talking non-stop in the yard.Xu Ying was completely annoyed by her sister-in-law, and she asked all the words that she could bear in her heart, "This is something that I shouldn't care about, but since you are here today, I will ask more questions. Sister-in-law, my second brother is always They all sent money back home, why didn't I see you hand in the money?"

The second child of the Cheng family went out to serve as a soldier very early, and I heard that he went to a remote area in the west, and it took a year or so before he called back to report that he was safe.Grandma Cheng doesn't have a phone here, so she usually asks everyone to contact Cheng's second child. In the first few years, Mrs. Cheng's daughter-in-law also gave some money to the old man, but in recent years, she doesn't mention it.

Grandma Cheng asked Boss Cheng once, and Boss Cheng was smoking a cigarette at the time, and it took a long time to reply. "I'm taking care of such a big family, so I should keep some money in my hand to turn around. Those who come to see you during the holidays, don't they all come to my place to eat and live..." He didn't say how many gifts he had received from others , only talking about how much I lost, and Grandma Cheng didn't want to argue with her son about it, but it was hard to avoid being disappointed when she heard it.

The old man asked for money to pay for Cheng Ye's tuition and medical expenses, but Mr. Cheng still cared about it, and Grandma Cheng no longer asked for the money sent back.

Xu Ying mentioned these things now because she wanted to remind her sister-in-law to restrain herself.

The daughter-in-law of Cheng Boss was even more unhappy when she heard Xu Ying mentioning this. She stood in the yard and said that Xu Ying was wrong. People say that if you don’t share the same surname, you won’t be close…”

Li Rui happened to bring Cheng Ye back to get something. When Cheng Ye heard his sister-in-law's name, he broke away from Li Rui's hand and was about to go home.Li Rui hugged him, covered his mouth and took him away while watching, "Stupid, are you? You go out and meddle in the affairs of the elders, and you think about Bao in your head. Just wait, your little aunt I'm not an angry master..."

Cheng Ye hid outside and heard Cheng's eldest daughter-in-law speak ill of Xu Ying, and retorted in a low voice, "Sister-in-law is a good person..."

Li Rui didn't bother to listen to this, and watched Cheng Ye keep poking his head, fearing that the child would be scolded if he was discovered later, he simply took him to the top of the side wall and found a hidden corner to hide.It is higher here, so you can see far and hear clearly.

Cheng's eldest daughter-in-law naturally couldn't hear what Cheng Ye said, she was dissatisfied with Xu Ying, and incidentally said a few words to Grandma Cheng, rambling on endlessly. "Hmph, I'm leaving tomorrow, and I'm here to make trouble today. I'm going to get married sooner or later, why bother to come to my mother's house to mess with these things..."

This sentence reminded Miss Xu.Xu Ying also remembered that she was leaving tomorrow. Since she was leaving tomorrow, what were she afraid of today?She ran back to the house slowly, picked up the washbasin of Grandma Cheng's house, and brought the basin of soapy water she had just used—and splashed it on Cheng's eldest daughter-in-law!

Miss Xu splashed it so neatly that Boss Cheng's daughter-in-law didn't have time to dodge, and she was drowned in the splash!

Miss Xu fully understands one thing. It is unreasonable to see people talking nonsense, so you have to be more unreasonable than her!

"Go! Go to the provincial capital and file a complaint with me. Didn't you say that my surname is Xu? Ask Xu's family whether he cares about me?" Xu Ying's good temper of more than [-] years was exhausted. She stood at the door with her waist pinched. If Cheng's eldest daughter-in-law dared to enter the house, or said something bad to Grandma Cheng, she would beat her with an iron washbasin.

Boss Cheng's daughter-in-law is always talking and telling stories. She has never been punished like this before.For a moment, she didn't know whether to advance or retreat, seeing Miss Xu taking a few steps forward, she didn't dare to stay any longer, turned her head and ran away.

Grandma Cheng hurriedly closed the door of the small yard, and said something to Xu Ying with half distress and half complaint, "Look at you, you are such a big girl, and you are not afraid of letting others see the joke... Mom is fine, you If a pot of water is poured out, what if someone arranges right and wrong and cannot get married?"

Xu Ying went back with Grandma Cheng on her arm, "Mom, don't worry about me. My aunt told me about a marriage, and I'm engaged when I go back."

Grandma Cheng was stunned. Xu Ying hadn't mentioned this these days, and this was the first time the old man had heard of it. "What marriage? Whose family's child, what do you do? Do we know each other..."

Xu Ying didn't say much, but still had a smile on her face, "Where can what Auntie say go wrong? Don't worry about it. Make an appointment first, and I'll tell you later when I pick a date."

Grandma Cheng touched her girl's hand, not knowing what to say for a moment, she let out a long sigh. "Don't wrong yourself. If you have anything, you can tell your aunt, don't hide it in your heart... Let's go tomorrow morning? I'll pack something for you and bring it..."

Cheng Ye overheard it from outside, and he was very reluctant to leave this little aunt.Only his little aunt gave him fruit candies, but he still kept the candy wrappers.

Li Rui really hated the tone and attitude of the eldest daughter-in-law Cheng, and couldn't help but frown thinking about those rude words just now.He held Cheng Ye's hand and told the child, "Cheng Ye, don't imitate her."

Cheng Ye nodded, "I know, Brother Rui won't want a fierce wife in the future." This is what Li Rui said before. In recent years, Li Rui has become more sensible and stopped talking about it every day, but Cheng Ye has listened to it for several years Learned, speak up spontaneously.

Li Rui laughed when he heard it, pinched his nose and pulled it up, but didn't speak.
