Thanks Bumin

The boy in the mirror was wearing a simple beige jacket with two wide pockets that gave him a casual street style, and the beautiful jeans showed his straight and slender legs in every detail.

Under the fine bangs, a pair of black and white eyes, the corners of the eyes are slightly raised, not the kind of stunning facial features, but the clean temperament makes people feel more comfortable the more they look at it.

Liu Xuejuan looked at Xie Jing in the mirror with eyes full of relief, reached out to help him pull his sleeves, straighten the corners of his clothes, and murmured uncontrollably: "It's good, it's good."

Although the tight corners of his mouth and the condensation in his eyes at this moment showed that he was not in a very happy mood, Xie Jing still patted her hand and comforted her silently,

"I know you don't like it, but that one is your grandma anyway. It's not polite to go and see if it's Chinese New Year's Eve." Liu Xuejuan said softly.

The twists and turns of the two families and people outside couldn't see it. If Xie Jingda didn't visit his own grandma during the Chinese New Year, outsiders' saliva would drown them both.

It's not that Xie Jing doesn't know this truth, but when he thinks about all the troubles he has caused for his family over the years by going to his uncle's house, he feels very unhappy.

He lowered his head and glanced at Liu Xuejuan, who was a head shorter than himself, and after several changes in his expression, he replied in a flat tone: "Got it, I'll figure it out."

Liu Xuejuan knew that nothing would happen after hearing what Xie Jing said. Ever since she was a child, Xie Jing promised her, even if she was reluctant, she would do her best to do it well.

When he arrived at Xie Wanghai's house, Xie Jing rubbed his face first, and then rang the doorbell.

It was Zhao Chunfang who came out to open the door, and when she saw Xie Jing through the iron gate, her dejected expression immediately disappeared, she grinned, and hurriedly opened the door for him: "It's Xiao Jing! Come in, come in. "

"Happy New Year, Grandma, this is for you." Xie Jing gave Zhao Chunfang some presents that Liu Xuejuan forced into his hands before leaving the house.

Zhao Chunfang glanced at it, and it felt quite heavy in his hand, and the smile on his face was immediately eager, "Grandma will be very happy if you come to pay New Year's greetings to grandma, and you are not allowed to spend money on buying these again in the future. Expensive, right?"

"This is our intention to honor you." Xie Jing replied with a light smile, his tone sounded very polite.

"Come in after changing your shoes, your uncle and aunt are inside." Zhao Chunfang told him, then turned around and carried the things into the kitchen.

Xie Jing took advantage of the time when he was bending over to change shoes, and looked at Zhao Chunfang who was putting things away. She was wearing a dark red and gold-patterned padded jacket, black cotton trousers, red shoes on her feet, and her hair was meticulously arranged. into a bun.

Although she was neatly dressed and her clothes were brand new, Xie Jing still recognized the same outfit she wore when she came to pay New Year's greetings to Zhao Chunfang last year.

Xie Jing frowned quickly, turned his eyes and looked around, looking carefully.

Xie Wanghai’s home Xie Jing can count on his hands the number of times Xie Jing comes. It’s not that he doesn’t come to the house during the holidays, but because Xie Wanghai and his wife are lively people and often entertain guests at home, so his house has always been Cleaned up, all kinds of decorations

The decoration is very beautiful, and the decorations need to be replaced during the Spring Festival, and a few pots of orchids, kumquats, narcissus and so on are bought.

Xie Jing's eyes stayed on the big red blessing pendant on the wall of the entrance, and the bright tassels, which can light up at the touch of a switch. This was what his aunt told him braggingly last year.The decorations on the blocked Duobao Pavilion have been polished brightly, but there is no trace of the fresh flowers of previous years.

"Xiao Jing is here, come and sit down." Xie Jing's aunt stood at the entrance of the living room and greeted him.

Xie Jing quickly looked away, responded gently, walked over, and wished her a happy new year.

For those who celebrate the new year, no matter how much they tear up their faces on weekdays, they will not be able to embarrass the other party on this day. Besides, since he has promised his mother, he will try his best to make everyone look good.

So Xie Jing just wrinkled his nose slightly, did not shake off his auntie's hand, and followed her to sit down in the living room.

The half-closed door opened, and a fifteen- or sixteen-year-old boy with a cropped cut came out, "Brother Jing is here?"

Seeing Xie Jing sitting on the sofa, his eyes lit up instantly, and he said enthusiastically, "Brother Jing hasn't been here for a long time, what are you talking about with your lord, come and play in my room!"

"This..." The aunt looked at Xie Jing hesitantly, Xie Jing smiled slightly, "I haven't seen Xiaoyi for a long time, let's talk."

"That's all right, Xiaoyi, your brother is a student in Class 14 of the attached middle school, and his grades are good. You should ask him for advice on how to study, you know?"

"Got it, got it." Xie Yi agreed perfunctorily, and as soon as the door closed, he immediately lay on his back on the bed, grasping his hair feebly, "My mother is so annoying, I have to say this over and over again, She's not tired, and I'm getting tired of listening to it." As he spoke, he picked up the manga on the bedside and covered his face.

After looking around, Xie Jing chose to sit down on his computer chair.

Different from his small or even cramped room, Xie Yi's room is big and bright, with desk, computer, wardrobe, bookshelf, all kinds of furniture, especially the big bookshelf reaching the ceiling, which is the most eye-catching, Xie Jing watched The eyes also stay the longest.

"Brother, you read manga too. Let me tell you, there is no student who doesn't read manga." Xie Yi on the bed opened his eyes at some point, and found Xie Jing's gaze resting on his own bookshelf, thinking he was too. My fellow man who loves comics, when he regained his energy, he sat up straight and began to explain to him enthusiastically: "Look at that set, there are now 29 volumes, I have collected every one, and that set, that set Sets, the most difficult to buy for me, I have collected them all..."

In fact, he couldn't understand most of what Xie Jing said, but Xie Jing's appearance of listening attentively and the occasional compliment or two were enough to make Xie Yi regard this cousin who he thought was a good student as a bosom friend.

When Xie Yi talked about the excitement, his eyebrows and eyes were flying, his fingers kept gesticulating, his legs dangled and kicked the partition of the bed, and the brand new white sneakers of a certain brand were so white that they dazzled the eye.

After introducing his private collection, Xie Yi waved his hand generously, "See if you like it, I'll lend it to you."

Xie Jing smiled at him, and politely refused, "I will start school in two days, the school is very strict, I'd better come to borrow from you after I finish the exam."

"The attached middle school starts so early!" Xie Yi was speechless. He frowned, as if he was the one who was about to start school. "The students in your good school are working hard."

Although Xie Jing didn't want to see Xie Wanghai and his wife, he didn't dislike this cousin who was still childish and careless.When speaking, her tone was more gentle and cordial than when she was facing her aunt.

"What about you? Auntie said that you are also in the third year of junior high school this year. When do you plan to go abroad?"

Xie Yi turned the manga in his hand nonchalantly, "Why do you want to go abroad? The money has already been lost. My mother now expects me to go to a general high school, at least go to a university and have a diploma."

Xie Jing was stunned for a moment, thinking that Liu Xuejuan had told him before that Xie Wanghai's family spent all their money to buy a house for construction, but he did not expect that they really took out all the money in the family.

When he heard this matter before, he could still gloat and laugh it off, but now that it came out of Xie Yi's mouth, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

Seeing Xie Jing's dazed look, Xie Yi mistakenly thought that he was feeling sorry for himself, so he shrugged indifferently, and said calmly, "Actually, I'm quite happy that I can't leave the country."

Noticing Xie Jing's surprised eyes, he raised the corner of his mouth and smiled, explaining: "My parents have been arranging for the matter of going abroad, and I don't want to go out at all. My English is bad, and I heard that there I can’t get used to eating hamburgers and steaks, and I might not be able to make a fortune if I go out. It’s better to stay in China, go to a technical school or something, and still have a skill.”

If you want to learn a skill in a technical secondary school, you have to endure hardships.Xie Jing looked at his cousin who was pampered and raised like a baby, and silently swallowed back the words that would hit him in the throat.

He changed the subject and asked Xie Yi: "Where's uncle? Why didn't you see him today?"

Because Xie Wanghai's position in the unit is not low, there is almost an endless stream of people who come to pay New Year's greetings during the Spring Festival every year. He is afraid that someone will come to the door in vain. In the past, Xie Wanghai would not go out on the first day of the new year.

"He went out. He went out early this morning and carried a lot of things. I don't know what to do?"

Carrying things is naturally going out to give New Year greetings to others. Before Xie Jing finished thinking about Xie Wanghai's different behavior from the past, his aunt pushed open the door, leaned in, looked at Xie Jing with a smile, and said, "Xiao Jing, today Just stay here and eat with my aunt."

Now it's not too early, not too late, Xie Jing smiled knowingly, "No need, my mother probably already cooked at home."

Her little aunt showed a relieved look, and in a moment she blamed: "Oh, we are all a family, why are you so polite. Since the sister-in-law has already done it at home, then the little aunt won't keep you any longer. "

These words were so urgent that they didn't even have a symbolic way to keep them, Xie Jing didn't bother to expose them.He looked at Xie Yi who was staring at him eagerly, couldn't help reaching out to touch his head, stood up, and walked out.

Zhao Chunfang, who was busy in the kitchen, came up to meet him. Seeing Xie Jing's posture as if he was about to leave, she was a little surprised, and hurriedly said to keep him: "Why are you leaving now? Eat your lunch here."

A look of embarrassment flashed across the face of the little aunt over there, she quickly tugged on Zhao Chunfang's sleeve, and said, "Mom, Xie Jing is going back to eat, did you forget that sister-in-law is at home alone?"

"This..." Zhao Chunfang hesitated.

Xie Jing watched his aunt staring at him, afraid that he would change his mind and left a nervous look, secretly amused in his heart, he deliberately made a hesitant look, and watched her suffer even more. After a long time, he said slowly: "Auntie is right. Yes, when it’s Chinese New Year, I can’t leave my mother alone at home.”

Xie Jing's aunt seemed to be pardoned, with a smile on her eyes and eyebrows, she sent Xie Jing to the door.

Xie Jing walked to the entrance of the community, and happened to see his uncle Xie Wanghai following a middle-aged man with a big belly, smiling all over his face to attract him.

Seeing this scene, Xie Jing understood that her aunt's behavior had a reasonable explanation before, and she didn't know which leader of Xie Wanghai's unit it was, and it was worth his trouble.

Looking at Xie Wanghai's slightly bent back, Xie Jing chuckled vaguely, shook his head, and walked away slowly.

On the first day of the new year, almost all shops are closed, adding a bit of desertedness to the normally noisy streets.

It was still early, Xie Jing planned to go to a year-round bookstore to pick out some tutorial books for himself.I didn't want to be distracted by a little girl sitting at the door of the bookstore returning the basket in front of her.

The little girl pulled her sleeves uncomfortably, trying to cover a hole there, turned her eyes, and then reached out to touch the two pink silk flowers on her head, which her mother bought for her to wear during the New Year.

The big brother in front of her has been squatting for a long time, she bit her lip lightly, struggled a few times in her heart, and said timidly: "Brother, you, do you want to buy it?"

Hearing the little girl's voice, Xie Jingcai came back to his senses from the big and small eyes of the little guy in his eyes. He met the little girl's bright and clear eyes, and couldn't help but look at the little guy's round eyes again. In comparison, I still think the little guy is cuter.

"Brother, brother, do you want to buy it?" The little girl thought her voice was too low and Xie Jing couldn't hear clearly, so she asked again at the top of her voice.

Xie Jing burst out laughing, it was because the little guy was biting his fingers, and the little milk teeth that hadn't grown well made his fingers itchy.

"Buy, of course I will." Xie Jing agreed very readily.Although Liu Xuejuan does not allow him to raise him, she can still find a good place for this little guy.Thinking of this, Xie Jing smiled playfully.

The little girl was a bit reluctant to get the affirmative answer from the other party, but she was more happy. When she had money, her mother would be able to buy her new clothes.

The little girl raised her head joyfully, the boy lowered his eyelids, and bumped into her eyes with a gentle look, the little girl's flushed face turned even redder, even the boy who had just thought about it
