self-made god

So Xia Mu and Chen Ju finished the New Year's Eve dinner for the two tables. As soon as they walked out of the kitchen, they went upstairs to take a shower and change their clothes. Soaked.

Uncle Xia's family also came over today, but they can't come, because my parents are hostages at the manor!

The husband and wife helped the younger brother and the others to set up stools and brought out the wine. Xia Mu and Chen Ju’s house was never short of good wine. Huge collection.

Those who want to drink tell in advance, and those who don't want to drink can drink juice. Xia Mu squeezed a lot of fresh juice there, and pour it out by himself if he wants to drink.

When everything was ready and even Xia Mu and Chen Ju went downstairs again, it was exactly eight o'clock when everyone was seated.

"The Spring Festival Gala has begun."

Watching the Spring Festival Gala while eating has been Xia Shangcun's habit for many years.

Xia Mu prepared fish soup for his son who was screaming beside him all the time, and this little guy could only eat some fish and drink some soup.

With fish to eat and soup to drink, Baby Xia really stopped making trouble. Although he wanted to grab the food on the bed, Xia Mu put him directly in the walker, so that unless Xia Mu fed him, he couldn't reach out to grab it. Things are off the table.

"This year's Spring Festival Gala is good, much better than the previous two years."

Mr. Chen ate a chopsticks of vegetarian chicken and said to Grandpa Xia beside him that he and Grandpa Xia were the highest in seniority, so of course they sat in the middle.Next to Grandpa Xia were Grandma Xia and Auntie Xia, and beside Mr. Chen were Uncle Xia and Chen Yuan.

"It's good, but I don't understand a lot of them."

Like those popular elements, the elderly don't understand at all, and the young people are laughing and laughing. They can only look at the people around them and laugh ignorantly, and they can't understand what is so funny about these words.

"It's okay, watching the Spring Festival Gala is just for fun."

Old Chen knows a lot, he can even surf the Internet!Don't look at him being so old, he often reads novels on the Internet and doesn't talk about it. He actually expresses his views on who is attacking and who suffers from Xia Mu and Chen Ju on the forum, which has attracted many fans.

Originally, Xia Mu and Chen Ju didn't know about it, until one time they went to Mr. Chen's room to look for him, only to see the notebook in the room displaying what Mr. Chen was discussing with everyone, which made the two of them embarrassing for a long time. Can't get back to God.

Forget it, occasionally the old man will come up with a few Internet buzzwords, which are more popular than Xia Mu who has no time to surf the Internet, and if he doesn't understand the meaning, he will be despised.He knows it well as an old man, but as a young man, Xia Mu doesn't understand, he can't keep up with Chaoliu!

Even the grandfather couldn't compare, Chen Jufu burst into tears after his heart was hit.

However, it can also be seen from this that Chen Lao's spiritual life is still rich.Go out for a stroll during the day and play dragon battles with everyone.Surfing the Internet at night, bragging with netizens, anyway, no one on the Internet knows that he is an old man in his 80s, and there is no obstacle to chatting. On the contrary, because of his life experience, many people are fooled by him and become fans.

The New Year's Eve dinner is very lively, no matter adults or children eat it to make their stomachs round.Of course, those who like to drink are also full of alcohol, and finally they are carried home directly.

After twelve o'clock, Xia Mu and Chen Ju went to set off firecrackers. In the room, Xiao Xia was sleeping sweetly, not affected by the sound of firecrackers at all.

Then everyone went back to bed and got up early tomorrow!

According to the rules of Xiashang Village, the earlier the first day of the new year, the better, or else you will have to sleep in for the next year, which is absolutely not allowed by the people of Xiashang Village.So on this day, even children will be woken up by their parents at six o'clock in the morning, let them eat dumplings or big glutinous rice balls, and then change them into new clothes, and the children will start to go out to celebrate the New Year.

Many people from Xia Mu and Chen Ju's family also came to pay New Year's greetings, and both of them gave red envelopes.I just feel sorry for Little Xia Baobao and Xia Wei's daughter, because their seniority is too high, there are fewer people who can give them red envelopes.All in all, Xia Mu's family suffers a lot during the Chinese New Year. Although there are many children, they have no choice but to have high seniority and few elders.If it weren't for their young age, they would have to pay a red envelope to go out!

However, Xia Mu still prepared some red envelopes for Xia Baobao to give to the children, not because he wanted something special, but just hoped that these children would remember that Chen Xia was their elder, not a wild child he adopted.

For children, those who give them red envelopes are elders, and elders should be respected.It is absolutely forbidden to say things like wild children, because the requirements for seniority in rural areas are much stricter than those in cities.

Even if children fight, they dare not attack their elders, even if the elders are the same age as them.The same goes for the elders. The adults in the family will tell them that these people are your nephews or grandnephews, and you are the elders to take care of them.I have heard a lot, and generally children are very respectful to their elders, and younger generations will not beat or scold their elders.

Xia Mu was like this when he was a child, he was younger than everyone else, but his seniority was high.Usually children never hit him when they fight and scold. If adults find out, their buttocks will bloom.

Although Xia Mu's move was somewhat calculated, it was still very useful for the children.

They identified Chen Xia as the elder. Although his surname was not Xia, he was Uncle Xia's son, so he was an uncle.From now on everyone knows that Chen Xia is not Xia Mu's biological son, and no one scolds him for being wild or a species. After all, he is an elder and rarely plays with everyone. He always learns from his parents and tutors at home. He is gentle and gentle. It's also beautiful, such an elder makes people want to get close to them from the bottom of their hearts even if they are children!

Of course, for other people's children, their feelings are very complicated, but also because of his seniority, there are many fewer people who reject him. This is the benefit of seniority.

After seeing off the people who came to pay New Year's greetings, Xia Mu and Chen Ju carried their children to pay New Year's greetings to the few families in the village whose seniority was higher than them.Finally, Xia Baobao also got money in his hands. What's interesting is that Xia Baobao is actually a money fanatic, and he won't let go of the red envelope.

After returning from New Year's greetings, Xia Mu and Chen Ju went upstairs to sleep.They slept late last night and got up at five o'clock this morning. It was not easy for them to go to bed until now.Xia Baobao was also woken up early in the morning, and now he was yawning non-stop, and his round eyes could hardly be opened.

After coaxing their son, the two fell asleep on the bed and pulled the quilt over.There are still many people who sleep at home at this time!I really don't know who made the rule that you have to get up early in the morning, anyway, Xia Mu thinks it's better to let him sleep until nine o'clock and then wake up, instead of running back to sleep and back to sleep at ten o'clock now.

I slept until noon and got up to heat up the leftovers from last night. I also made milk powder for my son and cooked fish porridge.

In the afternoon, the family of three began to stroll around the village, because red bags and red New Year pictures were hung everywhere in the village during the Chinese New Year, as well as red envelope lanterns and decorations.Xia Baobao is so happy, children like bright colors, and red is definitely bright enough.

"Happy New Year, Master Xia, thank you for the New Year's Eve dinner."

The tourists who came to Xiashang Village with their family to celebrate the New Year expressed their gratitude to Xia Mu.Because just yesterday, Xia Mu specially asked to kill two pigs to give extra meals to the tourists staying in the hotel, and invited them to have a New Year's Eve dinner.

"Happy New Year, I wish you all the best in the new year, Gong Xi Fa Cai."

Xia Mu greeted the tourists while walking.

"Wish you prosperity and wealth……"

Along the way, there are congratulatory blessings. For Chinese people, besides all the best, Gong Xi Fa Cai is the most common saying.Now Chinese New Year is not like before where you can only stay at home. Many tourists travel with their whole families to celebrate the New Year.

"Xia Mu's popularity is really good."

A villager stood by the side of the road smoking a cigarette and said, look at these tourists, even tourists who don't live in hotels will take the initiative to say hello to him.

"It's normal. Da Xiaoxiamu is the most popular among the children in the village. He is good-looking, has a sweet mouth, and his clothes are always clean. Unless his brain is full of shit, he will not I won't hate him. It's just because of this that although he is popular, many people have very ordinary feelings for him."

One of these two villagers is called Xia Zhu and the other is called Xia Tian. They both played with Xia Mu when they were young. Because of the same seniority, the three of them had a good relationship for a long time when they were young.It's just a pity that the two stopped studying after elementary school, and Xia Mu was sent to the city to go to school. Every time they came back from vacation, they felt that the distance between themselves and Xia Mu was getting farther and farther, and they gradually became estranged.

The two of them have been working outside for several years, and this year they finally returned to their hometowns, only to find out that the big change in Xiashang Village that their parents said was not just as simple as repairing roads, but now many families have built new houses, and all of them are buildings.Even in their family, their parents saved tens of thousands of yuan a year by relying on the vegetables they grew and the homestay they opened. In addition to the money they saved from working outside for a few years, their family can also build a building next year.

"But there are still people in the village who say that Xia Mu disregards the friendship of the same clan and does not lend a helping hand to those in need." Xia Zhu was the one who started smoking.

"You listen to them, it's their own fault." Xia Tian said with a look of disdain, he had never seen such a shameless person, he always knew that there are troublemakers in the backcountry, but he never thought that he had always misunderstood Very good clansmen also have the ability to turn right and wrong into black and white.

"Xia Mu is not their parents, and they have no responsibility to clean up their mess. You only hear them say that Xia Mu is sorry for them, but you never see the things they do that are sorry for Xia Mu. My parents told me everything, You'd better not get involved in their affairs, or you won't regret it if your parents can't survive in the village."

Xia Tian reminded his little friend that people with troubles are not worthy of sympathy.

"Does it have to be like this?"

Xia Zhu was in a bit of a dilemma, because among the people who came to look for him was his own uncle.

"It doesn't have to be like this, but it must be like this. You have to understand that Xia Mu is no longer the previous Xia Mu. He doesn't owe the Xia clan, nor does he owe Xia Shangcun anything."

Xia Tian looked at the former little friend who was surrounded by tourists but kept talking to everyone with a smile on his face, that person was still so far away from them.

"A Tian, ​​I understand what you said. I won't look for Xia Mu. Don't say that we only have a little friendship when we were young. Even if we have a relationship with Zong, we shouldn't be self-righteous and run to embarrass each other. I don't care about my uncle's affairs. , although his current life is not as good as that of most people in the village, it is much better than that of people in other villages. He also earns one or two thousand a month, which is definitely a high income in our place. As long as they themselves Calm down and focus on managing, I believe that the income will only be more than it is now. They are too greedy, otherwise they would not want to find me, who just came back and don't know the situation in Xiashang Village, to ask Xia Mu for help."

Through Xia Tian, ​​Xia Zhu fully understood his uncle's sinister intentions, and actually wanted to push his family to be the dead ghosts. What should Xia Mu do when he gets angry and refuses to accept their vegetables?

Thinking about it this way, Xia Zhu's dazed mind suddenly cleared up, and he had a lot of opinions on his uncle's family.You don't dare to look for Xia Mu, but you actually push our family out, it's really "people do not do themselves, heaven and earth will perish." '

"Are you OK?"

Seeing that Xia Zhu's expression was not very good, Xia Tian pushed him and asked with concern.

"It's okay, I just figured out some things, thank you. If it weren't for you, I might really do something irreparable."

Xia Zhu shook his head, happy to have such a good partner.

"Hey, as long as you want to understand."

Xia Tian smiled gratifiedly, he was afraid that his partner who had known him since childhood would lose his head in a critical moment, now that he had figured it out, he immediately relaxed.

"you?"

Xia Mu had already walked in front of the two of them, and he looked at them, always feeling that they looked familiar.Chen Ju stood not far away holding his son, Xia Mu asked him to wait here.

"Do you want to guess who we are?"

Xia Tian looked at the puzzled Xia Mu and suddenly played together, as if the three of them had returned to their childhood.

In fact, it is only relative that the three often played together when they were young, because except for Xia Mu, the other two of the three are only children.Coupled with the fact that their age is a little tricky, either they are much younger than them, or they are much older, and Xia Mu can still follow behind his older brothers and sisters anyway, while they can only watch others play from the sidelines.

Later, Xia Mu took the initiative to ask them to play, and the three continued to play for several years.But only for a few years, and then they parted ways.When they met again, the three of them were completely different from their childhood appearances.

"A Tian~~"

Xia Zhu couldn't laugh or cry at the side, Xia Tian liked to tease Xia Mu the most when he was a child, but every time he would be teased back, but he never tired of it.

"Xia Zhu, Xia Tian, ​​so it's the two of you!"

As soon as Xia Zhu called A Tian, ​​Xia Mu's forgetfulness returned immediately.

"Remember? By the way, we haven't seen each other for over twenty years, right?"

In the past, when Xia Mu came back from vacation, the two of them would subconsciously avoid Xia Mu, so it was true that they hadn't seen each other for 20 years.

"Yeah, I went to look for you, but every time I went to your parents, they said that you were not at home. I don't know who is hiding from me on purpose?"

After looking for it a few times, Xia Mu understood what they meant, so he never looked for it again.

"That~ we didn't do it on purpose." Xia Zhu looked at Xia Mu with some awkwardness. At first, he just felt that the gap between him and Xia Mu was getting farther and farther, and he couldn't hold his head up next to Xia Mu. These rural children are out of place, and they choose to avoid them because of their low self-esteem.

"...Forget it, it's been so many years, and it's meaningless to talk about the past."

Seeing them like this, Xia Mu couldn't understand the real reason. Although he no longer blamed the two for abandoning him, he was slightly disappointed in his heart.In the past, he really regarded them as his good friends, but in the end, he still couldn't resist the disturbance brought by reality.

"Yes, nothing can change what happened."

Xia Tian smiled wryly, at the beginning they gave up this friendship, but now that Xia Mu has found a home, they are still the rural children who can never make progress.Thinking of Xia Mu's current achievements, and thinking that they can only work for others now, the two feel even more inferior than the two of them.

"That's it. I still have something to do. You are welcome to come to my house when you are free."

The former playmates have taken their own different paths, and they can never go back to the past.

"Goodbye."

Xia Zhu and Xia Tian waved to Xia Mu, they knew that this parting today might not have any communication point in the future, but they didn't regret it.The gap between them and Xia Mu is too big, if they don't leave early, maybe they will no longer be like themselves, they will be envious and jealous, and they may even do some unforgivable things.

Xia Mutou left without looking back, watching him and the CEO leave together, still holding each other's hands, Xia Zhu and Xia Tian smiled wryly, and a certain place in their hearts became empty.

"A Tian, ​​I will go out to work again after the new year, how about you?" Xia Zhu threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped it out with his foot.

"Me too, Xia Shangcun doesn't believe it's suitable for us to stay."

If possible, he hopes to buy the house in the city.

"Then let's go together, have you bought the tickets yet?"

"not yet, what about you?"

"Let's go together!"

Xia Zhu and Xia Tian took a last look at Xia Mu's leaving back, and the two went home to get money to book tickets in the city at the same time.

"Who were those two just now?"

Chen Ju felt that the people around him were not very happy, and a little worried.

"A little friend from the past."

once?That is to say, it is not now?Chen Ju guessed the truth unconsciously.

"Did they do anything to you?"

Eyes half-closed, if they really dared to do something to Xiaomu, Chen Ju wouldn't mind asking someone to play with them.

"No, don't think too much about it. Besides, I have you and my son now, who can be happier than me?"

Xia Mu shook his head, took the son in his arms, and rubbed his face against the baby's little face.

"Huh?"

The baby was holding the red envelope with a very puzzled look on his face.What happened to little daddy?

"Little daddy is fine, baby, shall we go home? Let's go, let's go home." He stretched out his hand to Chen Ju.

He has a lover and a child now, and the past can't affect him in the slightest.The reason that I couldn't figure out before, now I finally understand that it was not my fault.

When he was a child, he asked himself countless times, why they didn't want to see him, did he do something wrong?Only now did he know that it was not that he had done anything wrong, but that their inferiority complex surpassed their friendship with him, and they used this method to escape from him in the end.

Since then, they have let each other go, and no longer need to communicate.

"Well, go home."

Chen Ju held Xia Mu's hand. He liked Xiao Mu's words of going home, which meant that he and Xia Mu were husband and wife.

"You guys are back, I called Ah Ju just now, saying that the things he ordered have been done, and the information has been sent to his mailbox.

"Thank you sister, I'll go and see later."

After Chen Ju finished speaking, he talked to Xia Mu, and then went upstairs to the study to do business.

Xia Mu put his son in his niece's shaker and let the two little ones play.Although in his opinion, only Xiao Xia is the one who plays, and the little niece can only sleep because she is only full moon!

"Don't let your son bully my daughter."

Xia Wei, who used to be a little dissatisfied with her daughter stealing everyone's attention, now loves her daughter more than her husband, making Shan Tianyu almost jealous of his precious daughter.

"How is it possible, Xiao Xia is so obedient."

Xia Mu rolled his eyes, he knew his son quite well, although he was young, he never caused trouble.No, when I saw my sister, I just crawled over and kissed her face, and then lay down next to my sister to sleep together.

"It's not a bear kid?"

Xia Wei was shocked, it was completely different from the brat she had imagined, okay?She has seen babies who are a few months old can fight, and thought Chen Xia would be the same, but he turned out to be as good as his brother said.

Even in the past few days, I haven't heard Xia Baobao cry and make a fuss. Compared with ordinary babies, Chen Xia seems too well-behaved.

"Is this talking about who you used to be?"

When she was a child, Xia Wei looked no worse than the current bear.

"Are you looking for a fight?"

Xia Wei stared at Meimei, her younger brother loves to tear her down more and more now, it's not cute.

"As soon as I said it, you threatened me. It seems that you also knew that you were a bear when you were young?"

Xia Mu ran to the farthest sofa and sat down. Xia Wei is not the kind of gentleman who follows actions without action, because she is a woman.

"You really deserve a beating. I'll find your brother."

Xia Wei stood up and asked her brother for help. If she wanted to hit her brother, she had to take action.

"Isn't that your brother too?"

Xia Mu was speechless to what her sister said.

"Hmph, now it's your brother."

Xia Wei is very dissatisfied with the twin brother, and has been angry with him for many days.

"Well, why did my brother mess with you?"

Xia Mu rubbed his forehead, there was nothing he could do about his sister's childishness.

"He pissed me off a lot, which one do you ask?"

"Which one is the worst?"

"He actually only prepared a gift for my daughter and forgot about me."

When Xia Wei mentioned this, she became very angry. Is there any brother who does this?He can even forget his younger sister's gift, so why should he be an older brother!

"Isn't sending off my niece the same as sending you off?" My sister is becoming less and less reasonable, maybe she has never said it before!It's just that it wasn't so obvious before.

"I don't care, he just forgot my gift, so it's all his fault, what kind of brother is he?"

What Xia Wei is most dissatisfied with is that she and Xia Shu are twins. They should have telepathy, even if they don't, they should be the closest in the world. Why, as an older brother, he forgets himself.

"You are so unreasonable. If my brother forgets to bring a gift to his niece, will you blame him again?"

Xia Mu scratched his head, he knew that his brother and sister were twins, and they had a tacit understanding since they were young, but after they worked and fell in love, this tacit understanding gradually decreased, and the time they spent together was not as much as before.The older sister felt that she had been neglected, and that's why she kept refusing to forgive her brother.

"Brother is really wronged. He is busy with work. Don't you ignore him because you only care about your family?"

Men's ideas are different from women's. Although the brothers usually give way to their sister, it doesn't mean that they need to endure her sister's unreasonable troubles.The eldest brother is busy with work, even so, he will call his parents every week to care about his younger sister, because he forgot to bring her a gift for a while, and he refused to let her go for several days, making him almost unbearable as a younger brother.

The elder sister was obviously spoiled by everyone, especially after marrying her brother-in-law, who was obedient to her and never said a word of no, which made her character more squeamish and unable to bear any grievances.After giving birth to his niece, things got worse, and now he almost doesn't know the still beautiful woman in front of him.
