The host is red and black, and the system can only chirp
Chapter 4: Showing off is a human disease
The Qin family is an old neighborhood in Hekou Town.
Since the development of individual economy was allowed, the Qin family has been selling meat in the town market. After nearly 20 years, Aunt Qin is a warm person, and countless people greet her along the way.
I walked into a street clothing store and the proprietress looked familiar to me.
She didn't come over to greet him. She leaned against the counter, eating sunflower seeds, and joked, "Aunt Qin, your son? Oh, time flies. He has grown so tall and strong. Whose pretty girl is this? Could she be your daughter-in-law?"
Aunt Qin scolded: "What are you talking about? This is my niece. My daughter Mingming is also studying in No. 1 Middle School now, and she is the top student in her grade."
The proprietress suddenly became enthusiastic, her face full of shock, "My goodness, this guy must be a top scholar. Oh, oh, oh, that's right, little girl, pick whatever you like, auntie will give you a discount. We can also take advantage of the literary atmosphere."
Aunt Qin raised her head proudly: "You have to be honest. Don't make the discount more expensive than without the discount. That's unacceptable."
The proprietress helped take down the bright red short down jacket hanging in the middle of the store. "No, I can't do that. Not for you, but for this pretty and smart girl. I can't be vain."
She handed the clothes to Xi Mingming: "This is a new model that Auntie just bought from the provincial capital. You have fair skin, so it will look good on you. Go and try it on."
.
Don't mention it, when Xi Mingming was young, he was fond of gray, white and black. Later, when he got older, he began to like bright colors such as bright red and green.
The down jacket is authentic Chinese red and was recommended by the boss lady. She was very satisfied.
Xi Mingming reached out to take the clothes, threw his thick cotton jacket to Qin Jiaye, and put it on.
The lady boss waited for her to change, then slapped her thigh after taking a look: "Oh my goodness, this must be a fairy~~"
Qin Jiaye leaned close to Xi Mingming's ear and said, "In a clothing store, as long as the clothes can fit, they can make a beautiful woman look like a beautiful woman. Don't be so stupid and take it seriously."
Xi Mingming slapped Qin Jiaye's stinky face and said, "Come closer and talk to me again!"
The lady boss laughed when she saw this, "They are really close brothers and sisters."
This praise really touched Aunt Qin's sore spot.
"Is it suitable? How much?" After asking, he took the initiative to say, "Isn't it? We are brothers! My Xiaoye, when he first entered No. 1 Middle School, his grades were so good that he was in danger of getting into a second-tier university. He has been closely followed by Mingming in his studies. In the past year or so, his progress has improved. As his class teacher said, if he keeps up the progress, he will surely get into a key university."
The lady boss immediately lost interest in doing business. She approached Aunt Qin and asked anxiously, "Is this true? How good of a teacher must this top-ranked girl be? Oh, do you want to take care of the kids around here during the winter break? Don't worry, I'll pay the tutoring fee. Isn't it popular for students to be tutors in big cities?"
.
Who doesn’t have an unlucky child with terrible grades?
The boss lady’s little brat, about the same age as Qin Jiaye, failed to get into the No. 1 middle school in the county and went to high school in town. His grades were terrible... The total score of his six subjects was not as good as the sum of the two subjects of the first place.
.
Aunt Qin may show off, but she won't take the initiative to cause trouble for her niece.
Hearing this, he waved his hands repeatedly, "No, no, no. The child is not short of money. The child's mother works abroad and cannot take care of the child. She has given a lot of money. The child does not need anyone's money."
Normally, Aunt Qin doesn't like to mention her elder sister-in-law, but for Xi Mingming's sake, she still carries her elder sister-in-law's sedan chair in front of outsiders.
The lady boss did not forget to make a final effort: "Young man, you should exercise."
Aunt Qin quickly rejected the idea: "This child, from the principal of No. 1 Middle School to the teachers of various subjects, has been told many times by us as parents to take good care of him. They are counting on Mingming to do well in the college entrance examination."
Aunt Qin gestured with her hands, "It's only been a few days since the winter vacation, and you've brought home such a thick pile of homework."
Under the proprietress's regretful gaze, Aunt Qin paid the bill, grabbed a child in each hand, and walked away with her head held high.
.
Along the way, all the acquaintances in the town knew that Lao Qin's niece had amazing academic performance and his son had definitely been admitted to a university.
Xi Mingming showed no sign of anger, while Qin Jiaye was so embarrassed that he wanted to bury his face in his pockets.
Qin Jiaye, who had a lot of bags in his hands and even things hanging around his neck, was helpless: "Mom, if I don't get into a key university next year, will you still have the face to live like a human being? You are so boastful."
Xi Mingming was holding two large bags of snacks purchased from the supermarket. These days, the supermarket model has just emerged in small towns.
Xi Mingming carefully selected and decided to enjoy all kinds of junk food while he was young and his metabolism was active.
.
Hearing Qin Jiaye's words, she frowned in confusion and asked, "You can't get into a key university, aren't you the one who is ashamed to live? It's not my aunt's exam, what does it have to do with me?"
Aunt Qin laughed heartily and returned triumphantly.
Finally, they satisfied their desire to show off that had been suppressed for more than a year, and let those gossipy ladies gossip about Ming Ming when he came over, and they were so envious of them.
.
Life in the small town is simple, and most families turn off the lights and go to bed early.
The Qin family is naturally the same.
Aunt Qin applied the chapped cream to her palms while raising her chin towards Uncle Qin: "I can't forget to apply this stuff, otherwise Mingming will nag me. Humph, a family must have a daughter. I haven't seen you two notice the cracks on my hands in winter before."
Uncle Qin leaned against the head of the bed and said with a smile: "You didn't even notice it yourself, and you blame us."
"How could Ming Ming see that?" Aunt Qin raised the chapped ointment and said disdainfully, "I can't count on you."
The item is not expensive, it takes a lot of thought. Her friend Mingming brought it back from the county for her.
"Mingming is a child who is close to you." Uncle Qin naturally likes his niece. "You didn't notice that whenever Xiaoye talks to you with a bad attitude, Mingming will secretly teach him a lesson."
Aunt Qin packed up, lifted the quilt and went to bed. Hearing this, she was particularly surprised: "Really? Oh, she is worthy of being my niece."
Uncle Qin: ...That’s my niece.
He didn't dare to refute his wife.
The two of them were talking while leaning against the bedside, covered with a quilt. Aunt Qin talked about the Chen family next door. "Hey, I ran into Chen's wife in the supermarket today. When we first saw each other, my goodness, her face was hanging down to her chin."
Aunt Qin gestured at her waist and abdomen exaggeratedly, "It has to droop down to here. You're right, we have never interfered with each other. We were the first to sell meat, and she followed suit. I haven't said anything yet, but she's already taking advantage of me."
Uncle Qin tried to persuade his irritable wife: "The business is not as good as ours. His son used to have better grades than Xiaoye. He entered No. 1 Middle School on a scholarship, but because he played games, he stayed in Internet cafes all night long, yawned all the time in class, and was caught by the teacher so many times but didn't reflect on himself... Now he has been persuaded to drop out of No. 1 Middle School."
Aunt Qin also felt sorry for the child from the Chen family: "Why haven't I seen that child recently?"
Uncle Qin shook his head: "After being expelled from school, he became even worse. Last month, I vaguely heard a quarrel in their family. It seemed that the child stole money from home and ran away."
Uncle Qin concluded, "Our son's grades were not as good as Old Chen's since he was young. But since he entered high school, his grades have skyrocketed because of Mingming. Aren't you afraid that he will feel uncomfortable?"
Aunt Qin turned around and muttered, "Let's not talk about the children for now. When doing business, they always like to give people unwanted odds and ends. If they see a stranger, they will cheat them of the weight. It's impossible for them to do business for a long time."
Uncle Qin patted his wife and said, "Turn off the lights and go to bed. You have to get up early tomorrow."
Aunt Qin lay down upon hearing this, but suddenly jumped up again and exclaimed, "No, I forgot to give Mingming the bicycle that my sister-in-law sent me."
Uncle Qin yawned, feeling sleepy, and spoke incoherently: "He won't run away. He's in the living room. Mingming saw him a long time ago."
Aunt Qin thought for a moment and pushed the man: "That's not right. I didn't see it in the living room when I came back from shopping."
Uncle Qin didn't cooperate at all. He pulled the quilt over his head and muttered, "It's not like it will grow legs and run away."
Aunt Qin was worried. Mingming had been here for more than a year, and it was rare for her sister-in-law to send something back to China. She couldn't lose it, or it would break the child's heart.
