tease

With so many brothers, it would be good if they grew up together and had a close relationship.But she and these cousins ​​have never seen each other since they were young, and now they are adults in their twenties, 40s and [-]s. Wen Zhengyu didn't know how to get along for a while.If you get too close all of a sudden, you are still not familiar with each other. If you are more distant, you are all relatives.

However, after Wen Zhengyu asked her relatives how she was, she realized that there was no need to worry about this issue.

As a rare animal, it was the first time we saw her, and everyone had endless questions about her.Her retired aunt took her hand affectionately and asked her "Why are you so thin?", what she likes to eat, whether her family treats her well, and some recent situations.

Wen Zhengyu answered in detail.

But when Wen Shiyi was mentioned, Wen Shiyi was her biological father after all, she couldn't talk about the conflicts between her and Wen Shiyi, she just said: "It's not bad."

In front of her, everyone just mentioned Wen Shiyi and passed by.However, she noticed that when Wen Shiyi was mentioned, the atmosphere was slightly different. To be exact, although her four uncles didn't say anything and their expressions didn't change much, their eyes were the ones that revealed a person the most. Emotional, as well as her cousins, who are young and not stable enough, their emotions are directly brought to their faces.

Wen Shiyi's incident was remembered by three generations of his family.

Chatting, talking, time flies, and it will soon be lunch time.

There are 32 people in the Lian family, except for the little aunt and two little cousins ​​who are abroad, the rest are here.

Like the Wen family, the Lian family also arranges seats according to seniority and tooth order. The slightly different thing is that there is no separate table for men and women in the Lian family, and couples sit together.These cousins ​​of hers are all married, and except for the youngest son of the third aunt who has no children, they all have children.

The youngest child is three years old and already knows how to eat with a spoon by himself. When the meal starts, he spontaneously climbs to the stool at the table of his cousins ​​and sits down, and is taken care of by the cousin next to him.

Wen Zhengyu, as a 27-year-old single dog, sat with his cousins ​​who were in pairs, and encountered dog abuse for the first time.

It was the first time she came to Lian's house for dinner, and everyone took good care of her, but they took care of her and didn't treat her as an outsider, so naturally they weren't so polite.She is an adult, and at Lian's house, even a three-year-old child has to eat by herself, so she naturally doesn't need anyone to help her with food.However, she didn't know how the Lian family's family tradition was established. At the dinner table, from her grandfather at the next table, to her uncle, to her cousins, they all watched over their wives for dinner.The specific manifestations are that they serve their wives with soup and rice, they each serve their wives with vegetables, and they know what their wives like to eat and what they don’t like. A word or two.Occasionally these dog abusers would think of her, and caring for her would be better than not caring, which would make her pitiful as a single dog.

Wen Zhengyu looked at the couple, and silently picked up the rice and vegetables.

Except for the dog abuse, Wen Zhengyu still feels pretty good.These cousins ​​of hers did not treat her coldly, nor did they take special care of her. They just had a peaceful attitude towards her family, and they didn't have any objections to her just because she was Wen Shiyi's daughter.However, they are probably not very familiar with each other yet, plus the relationship between men and women, when they talk to her, they are obviously not as casual as brothers, and they are a little more careful. This care is manifested in the fact that they speak softly A little bit, and the tone is much softer.

After dinner, even the old gentleman and the old lady will go to rest.

The always taciturn old lady came over and said to her, "Huaijin's room is on the second floor. I've already had someone clean it up for you. If you're tired, you can go to rest in the room. Her things are still in the room. .I saw you last time. I estimated your figure and asked someone to make you a few clothes. I don’t know if it fits. You try it. If it doesn’t fit, give me the size, and I will ask someone to give you another You do it all over again."

Wen Zhengyu suddenly felt hot eye sockets, nodded, and said "um", his throat was a little congested, and he couldn't speak.

The old lady patted her on the back lightly, and went upstairs with the old gentleman.

The room fell silent for an instant.

Wen Zhengyu caught a glimpse of her second uncle's eldest cousin quietly kicking her third uncle's younger cousin Lian Xi, and even made a wink.She looked up, and the cousin smiled awkwardly at her, and quietly tugged on his wife's sleeve.

Her cousin sat next to her, handed her a tissue, and explained: "Your brother is stupid."

Wen Zhengyu understood.Is this afraid of her crying?She hurriedly said, "I'm fine."

After eating, her uncles and aunts all went to rest after exhorting a few words.

The children went to play separately.

Wen Zhengyu moved to the living room with her cousins ​​and two grown-up nephews.

Lian Xi, the youngest son of the third uncle's family, asked her if she could tell who their brothers were and if they could remember their names.

Wen Zhengyu said: "Remember it." There are only seven of the nine cousins ​​present, so it is not difficult to remember.

She once heard from her uncle that his eldest brother, second brother and third brother are all only two years apart from each other, and the eldest is 62 this year.Her grandma married her grandfather at the age of 19, her eldest uncle was born at the age of 23, and her younger uncle and mother were born at the age of 36.

Except for the youngest uncle who got married at the age of 28 after he was transferred from the army, the other three uncles all married early, and basically started their families in their early twenties, and their eldest sons were also similar in age.

Lian Hui and Lian Zhao were born in the same year, one was born at the beginning of the year and the other was born at the end of the year. They are 40 years old this year; Lian Ye was born in the following year, 39 years old.The second son of the uncle's family is three years younger than the eldest son Lian Hui, ranking fourth. He is 36 years old this year and his name is Lian Xin.In the back row, they are Lian Ming, Lian Xun, and Lian Xi.

Lian Xi was afraid that she would not be able to remember, so he re-introduced to her again, what kind of work did the cousin do, and where did he live, all of which were carefully mentioned.She exchanged contact information with them, including those of her cousin and sister-in-law.Three cousins ​​and nephews who were slightly older also came to exchange numbers with her.

In the morning, she was talking with her uncles and aunts, and in the afternoon, she was talking with her cousins.

Lian Xi is the youngest of several cousins, he is more detached, the most active, and talks the most, chattering endlessly.

Lian Xin talked the least, and his sense of presence was extremely low, but Lian Xi always said: "Yes, fourth brother." It can be seen that his prestige and relationship among brothers are quite good, and Lian Ming and Lian Xun are vaguely It means to lead by him.

The eldest son, Lianhui, is very stable and vigorous.He sat with two other brothers who were closer in age, very close.

The age difference between her and her eldest cousin is a bit far, and they are not familiar with each other.

Lian Hui told her that if he encounters any difficulties or is bullied by someone in the future, he can come to them, and anyone can talk to them. Lively, he is involved in many things in our family."

Lian Xin raised her eyes towards the boss, Dalian Hui, and said, "You still don't trust me?"

Lian Hui said: "You kid has the most evil thoughts, don't worry, no one will worry about you."

Lian Xin said "tsk" and said: "I am the most decent person." Then Lian Hui: "It seems that you are the only brother." He said to Wen Zhengyu: "But my brother's sentence You're right, it's more reliable to find me than them if you have anything to do." But he agreed.

Wen Zhengyu was a little speechless.How could she listen to what they said, as if she felt how easy it was for her to be bullied.

She really wanted to see her mother's room, but her cousins ​​were sitting here talking to her, she was embarrassed to leave them and went to see her mother's room, and she was also afraid that she would lose control of her emotions , and temporarily rested his mind.

Her grandma got up, came down from upstairs, and said, "I heard everyone saying they were busy in the morning, why are they all sitting here now?"

Wen Zhengyu noticed that her cousins ​​tensed up all of a sudden.

On the other hand, the reactions of the cousins ​​were okay, and they joked: "Yu'er is back, and she is reluctant to leave."

The old lady said: "What is there to be reluctant to do, just come back and sit around more on weekends in the future." Then she asked Wen Zhengyu: "Are you tired? If you are tired, go and have a rest."

Wen Zhengyu hurriedly said: "I'm not tired. It's rare that my cousins ​​are all here. I want to talk to them."

The old lady nodded slightly, and said to them again: "If you have something to do, go do it. If you are free, go after dinner."

There was a room full of people, no one dared to leave because they had something to do, so they obediently did not leave until after dinner.

Knowing that Wen Zhengyu went to Lian's house on weekends, Ye Ling was a little worried that she would be excluded and bullied at Lian's house.The brothers of the Lian family, no matter how powerful they are, it would be a little difficult for Lian Xin to be singled out, but the brothers are of one mind and like to stick together when things happen.If the brothers of the Lian family had any objections to Wen Zhengyu because of Wen Shiyi's affairs, Wen Zhengyu would be terrified.

She was thinking of a reason to ask out Lian Xi, who was the most stern-mouthed, to find out, but Lian Xin approached her first and said to invite her to dinner.

This is when Sleepy came to give a pillow, and Ye Ling happily went to the appointment.

When she went to the restaurant, she saw no one else, only two brothers, Lian Xin and Lian Xi.She smiled and asked: "Suddenly asked me out for dinner, what's the matter?" Pulled out the chair and sat down.

Lian Xin poured her tea and said, "Yesterday, my younger sister...is my fourth aunt's child, Wen Zhengyu."

Ye Ling smiled and nodded.This name has changed from "that child of Wen's family" to "my sister". It seems that there has been a change.She said: "Yes, she went to your house yesterday. When your grandma called her, I happened to be next to her and heard it." She asked, "I saw someone, how do you feel?"

Lian Xin's expression was suddenly a bit indescribable.

Ye Ling looked at him in confusion.

Lian Xin said: "It looks better than the photos, and the ones who speak softly are just a little bit softer and don't have a heart."

Ye Ling said "Oh" and asked, "And then? Then invite me to dinner and talk about this..."

Lian Xin took a sip of tea and said, "The elders in the family have sent a message, let us brothers look at it and see if there is anything we can do to help her."

The change in attitude before and after this was so great that Ye Ling didn't turn the corner all of a sudden.The previous attitude, "That kid from the Wen family hasn't been to my Lian family's door for more than 20 years, so it's a good idea to come to ask for my fourth aunt's dowry." What is it now?Want to help out?

Even Xi was stunned when she saw Ye Ling, and quickly explained: "The fourth brother is afraid that she will be bullied. The little girl's family is delicate and soft, she has no father and no mother, it's pitiful, grandma just mentioned me yesterday. Sigu, the circles of her eyes turned red all of a sudden."

Ye Ling immediately understood.She thought for a while and said, "If you want to help, there really isn't much you can do."

Lian Xi said, "No way, the Wen family has become like that."

Ye Ling said: "She is rather stubborn. In Wen's house, she has the closest relationship with Wen Shishu and Wen Li. She pawned off her grandma's only pair of bracelets, and never looked for them. She asked Wen Li for help with the studio, and she gave Wen Li the shares, so she asked Wen Li for help." She paused and said, "If you really want to help, please mention her more. She has little experience. , I don’t know much about many things, but it’s a good thing that those who don’t understand can’t pretend to understand, and know how to ask. Zheng Yu’s heart is relatively small, although he doesn’t have so much insight, but he is practical.”

When Lian Xin heard the last sentence, he smiled, poured Ye Ling a glass of wine, toasted Ye Ling, and said, "Thank you." He said, "However, I still have to trouble Mr. Ye, if she encounters any difficulties , give me a letter."

Ye Ling didn't answer, just said: "It depends on the situation."

While eating, the two brothers inquired about Wen Zhengyu's situation again.

Ye Ling could tell that Lian Xi was more curious, and Lian Xin wanted to get a comprehensive understanding of what kind of person Wen Zhengyu was.She said everything she could say.Just like Wen Zhengyu, as long as Lian Xin wants to show face, he probably won't try to embarrass her anymore.In fact, even leaving aside the relationship between cousins, the combat effectiveness is not at the same level.Wen Zhengyu went to Lian's house, not for Lian Huaijin's dowry as they thought before.Besides, Lian Huaijin's dowry was supposed to be for Wen Zhengyu, and there was absolutely no reason for a nephew to jump out and criticize the dowry left by his aunt.As for the fact that Wen Zhengyu hadn't visited Lian's family for more than 20 years, Ye Ling reckoned that Lian's family hadn't visited Wen Zhengyu in all these years.

Ye Ling felt relieved that Lian's brothers could come to inquire about such a thing, which meant that they were interested in Wen Zhengyu and were willing to treat her as their own family, otherwise they wouldn't bother to inquire, and they would be able to push her out of the company in a cold manner. Home.
