Chapter 3 Don't Be Afraid Of Conflicts, Be Afraid Of Having No Emotions
On the reunion day on August [-]th, the second daughter's family went to pick up her little nephew, Shang Yan, from school, and they celebrated the holiday with their parents.

Pan Shengnan and her husband live in two cities, and rarely get together except for the Spring Festival. She is busy with work, and her son Shangyan grew up with his grandparents since he was a child.

The second daughter-in-law Pan Xihong's parents-in-law are all out of town. Although they have already bought a house, they live with their natal family before and after giving birth.

Not only did Pan Guanlin and Song Jiahui not find it troublesome, but they thought it was good. The family was together, lively and lively. In the past, their hometown laughed at Pan Guanlin for not having a son. Bar?

Shang Yan also inherited the good looks of his mother and aunts. At the age of thirteen or fourteen, he has become a handsome boy, but his temper is a bit cold and he is still in adolescence.

Pan Guanlin and Song Jiahui not only taught their daughters to be talented, but also educated countless students, but now their grandson's learning and manners in Shangyan really broke their hearts.

The whole family has been engaged in education all their lives. In the end, the only middle school student in the family can't pass the high school entrance exam. Isn't it a joke?Therefore, in their spare time, they all feel that the sword is not old enough, and they want to tutor their children with the homework of Shangyan, but the more they do it, the more headaches they will get.

Today is the holiday, Pan Guanlin didn't mention the matter of study anymore, and said to the eldest grandson with a suppressed temper: "Grandpa bought a lot of hairy crabs, and we will have dinner when your mother comes back. It's okay now, why don't you write something first." Homework?"

Shang Yan said: "My mother finished teaching the evening self-study of the graduating class of the third year of junior high school, and there was still a meeting to be held. She said don't make you wait for her. It's never too late to take the graduating class, and you don't know it.

Why did you let your children do this business in the first place? They have no money, work hard and still take responsibility, and sometimes they are angry!Or people say, if you have two buckets of grain at home, and you are not the king of your children, how poor are you to send your children to study in a normal school? "

Pan Guanlin frowned and asked, "Where did you learn these words? Let me tell you, besides your parents, your teacher is the most respected person in your life. Don't talk nonsense in the future, do you hear me?"

Shang Yan said: "That's your time!"

"You still say?" Pan Guanlin was about to start lecturing again.

The second uncle Chang Yuan hurried over and said to Shang Yan: "No job can be measured by money. Teacher is one of the greatest professions in human history. Moreover, being a teacher is not poor."

"Cut!" Shang Yan wanted to argue but was pulled aside by his second aunt to look at the newly bought Lego toys for him.

Since we can’t wait for the eldest daughter to go home for dinner, let’s leave a piece of mooncake for her. Song Jiahui muttered to herself: “There are rules for the watermelon on August [-]th. It has to be cut into the shape of a lotus flower, and the mooncake is also made according to the rules. Counting by head, there are as many people as there are as many pieces, no more, no less. This piece belongs to Ruonan, so don't move it!"

When Pan Xishi walked into the living room, he saw such a happy scene.Pan Xihong was playing Lego with Shang Yan on the tea table.Pan Guanlin, Song Jiahui and his second son-in-law, Chang Yuan, were having a drink and chatting, and there were a lot of crab shells on the table.

Seeing Pan Xishi coming, everyone in the room was stunned, the movements of their hands froze in mid-air, and they all stared blankly at the unexpected visitor.Song Jiahui asked: "Why are you here? You didn't say anything in advance!"

Pan Xishi carried a fruit basket and a box of mooncakes on the shoe cabinet: "I just walked to the subway station and saw a lot of people rushing home with their things. I just remembered that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I came here."

It is no wonder that Pan Guanlin's family was surprised at this time. In fact, Pan Xishi and his parents and sisters have never spent a Mid-Autumn Festival and Spring Festival together.When grandma was alive, she always spent festivals at her grandma's house.

But last year, my grandma passed away. This year, during the Spring Festival, she and Fan Wenbin went back to his hometown in Northwest China. Before that, no one asked her where she spent New Year’s Eve. She even suspected that if she hadn’t sent a WeChat message to her mother before boarding the train, No one cares where she goes for the New Year.Today, she was also thinking twice before going through this journey.

"Come on, come on, buy something, and you're not an outsider!" Pan Guanlin said to the little girl, "Let's eat!"

Song Jiahui hurriedly ordered: "Wash your hands first, it's so dirty outside, even touching the house is full of bacteria."

Pan Guanlin clicked his tongue twice, and blamed his wife: "Look at what you said, what if the child doesn't know how to wash his hands? How old is he?"

Song Jiahui jokingly said: "Her grandma doesn't pay attention to details. Look at how many people are being supported. Is there anyone who has a good habit?"

Pan Xishi frowned, and swallowed the words again.The previous disputes were vivid in her mind, and she thought it best not to happen again today.As she went to the bathroom to wash her hands, she glanced across the two bedrooms with the doors open.One of them has a crib, and the walls are covered with cartoon patterns that children like.

The guest room next to the second bedroom has always been lived in by Shang Yan. Today, after taking a look at it from a distance, it has been decorated as a very feminine bedroom, and it has been replaced with princess-style Xingyue curtains.She suspected that it was her own illusion, but she looked again to make sure that there was no dazzle.

Pan Xishi's heart was gently touched, a long-lost, warm feeling spread all over his body, as if his heart was a piece of ice and snow, but at this moment a small flower bloomed from the thick layer of ice. flowers come.

Pan Xishi sat at the dining table, and Xiao Huanxi gave her a little courage just now. She was still nervous when sitting at the table. She was thinking about how to ask her parents for help. Now it seems that her parents may have thought of her situation long ago. , made arrangements in advance?But I still feel that this is impossible, and it's probably because she is being passionate.

She absent-mindedly picked up the only piece of mooncake on the table. She thought it was left over from everyone's meal, but she didn't think too much about it. She took a bite of the five-nut filling that she didn't like the most. She couldn't eat it, but she was embarrassed. Put it back and put it on the table first.

Song Jiahui brought out two hairy crabs from the kitchen, just in time to see Pan Xishi's movements, and sighed, "There are exactly six mooncakes this year. Your eldest sister hasn't eaten any yet, and you don't like them yet."

"Aren't there still several boxes of new ones? Just make another box!" Pan Guanlin picked up a hairy crab and put it in front of his little daughter, signaling her not to be polite.But this time, Pan Xishi was more polite, looking at the hairy crabs and embarrassed to take them.

Song Jiahui said: "Those boxes didn't have five kernels, they were all duck egg yolk mooncakes. Ruonan doesn't like them. She likes old flavors just like the two of us."

Pan Xishi loves egg yolk mooncakes the most, but she is too embarrassed to ask them to make a new box for her, so she picks up the five-nut mooncakes on the table and swallows them with difficulty.But now I think of the situation when grandma was alive, no matter how many people there were in the family, as long as there was delicious food, she would keep a portion for herself.

Song Jiahui looked at Pan Xishi's strenuous look, and complained in a low voice: "Your grandma got used to you. Your two elder sisters have been sensible since they were young. When they were in trouble, a piece of five-nut mooncake could make them beautiful for several days. You It's like swallowing medicine, don't eat it if you don't like it!"

Shang Yan, who was playing with Lego, said: "Grandma, when is the difficult time? And it is not a difficult time now. You have been scolding my aunt since she came in. Now the country encourages three children. You should treat them better. Son."

Pan Xihong smiled and said to her little nephew: "You are wrong. The person who has enjoyed the most happiness in the whole family since childhood is your aunt."

Shang Yan said: "I know, when you were young, you ate bad food in Inner Mongolia, and my aunt ate chicken legs and drank drinks in Xingang. You are a sister and you have to pick up the old clothes sent back by my aunt to wear. Then, my grandparents, my mother and You, when your family returned to Xingang from Inner Mongolia, you didn’t even have a place to live.

The whole family sold steamed stuffed buns on the construction site and ate every last meal. When the whole family was squeezed into a small one-story house, my aunt had her own room.Once during a festival, the four of you were kicked out in the rain for a piece of braised pork. "

Pan Xishi couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly turned to Shang Yan, "Who told you these words?"

Shang Yan didn't know that the danger was approaching, so he said with a smile: "My grandparents, my mother, and my second aunt, they always talk about these things since childhood, and my ears are numb."

"If you don't have your own personal experience, you can't hear it from hearsay, you know? Besides, don't blame me for being rude!"

Shang Yan directly yelled at his aunt: "I just said what's wrong? The people present just let me speak for you, and you taught me the other way around. No wonder no one in the whole family likes you, and everyone hates you!"

Pan Xishi has been suffering from the first time her mother said that grandma is not good, and now she sees a great-grandchild who is not big or young, and has no rules, she really can't bear it anymore: "Don't Saying that you, a child, can’t speak ill of my grandma in front of me, even anyone in this room can’t speak of it in front of me. No matter what others think of her, but she has worked so hard to raise me, and in my heart she is the world The best grandma."

"Let me just say, your grandma is mean and powerful!"

Before Xiao Shangyan finished speaking, the hairy crab flew towards his forehead with its shell and claws, drawing a big red mark.

"Pan Xishi, it's a big holiday, what are you doing? Even if you are teaching in an institution, you are still a teacher. A teacher educates children like you, isn't it misleading your children?"

Pan Xishi looked at Pan Xihong coldly: "I am not as educated as you, but you have a Ph. Root, really not worthy of the word teacher."

Pan Xihong's brows were also twisted into a knot. She didn't want to have a dispute with Pan Xishi at all, but she didn't like this younger sister from the bottom of her heart.

Pan Xishi felt the same way about Pan Xihong. Since she was brought to Xingang when she was less than one year old, she never lived with them for a day, and they didn't pay their grandparents a penny of their child support. Not even any concern.In front of her are her close relatives by blood, but in fact the relationship between them is very weak.

Chang Yuan felt extremely embarrassed by this not-so-familiar sister-in-law, and it was very awkward to speak or not to speak at this time.When Song Jiahui came back from the kitchen, he saw his beloved grandson being 'beaten' and heard the conversation between the two sisters. Don't worry too much about it.

"Every time you come, the family is unhappy! Such an adult is still as annoying as when I was a child," Song Jiahui scolded her little daughter while checking her grandson's forehead.

"If it weren't for your second sister, you wouldn't have known which ravine you were carried to, and you could still sit here and play rough with your little nephew. Also, you replaced your second sister and stayed in the big city to enjoy the blessings. Not only did you You are ungrateful and always targeting her, if we had known this, we should not have brought you back in the first place."

"It's the holidays today, so you keep talking about something useless. The child's grandma passed away last year, and Xi Shi will have to go home for the holidays." Pan Guanlin spoke to his wife at this time. While speaking, he glanced at his little daughter and then Added, "As long as she wants!"

Pan Xishi glanced at his father, and found that his temples had turned white a lot during this time. Hearing what his father said, his mood became more complicated.

She took a deep breath, and straight to the point: "Mom and Dad, I have something to ask you for a favor, I wonder if it's okay?"

"You asked us for help?" Song Jiahui thought that they were the ones who asked this girl for help in the past, and almost all of them were rejected.The third child has never turned to his parents for big and small things for so many years, and they are used to it.

Pan Xishi's face was flushed red, and he seemed to have swallowed a big olive and couldn't swallow it or spit it out. He seemed to have exhausted all his courage before he said to them: "I want to stay here for a while. When I find a job, I will go find a house and move out immediately."

"You are unemployed and have no place to live?" Song Jiahui immediately heard the point, "It means that if you continued to take the postgraduate entrance examination like your sisters, you would not be dismissed so easily. Your two sisters have been self-reliant since they were young. Adding bricks and tiles to the family and adding credit to the adults is good for you, not to mention failing to get into a key university, and you are still unemployed."

Pan Xishi felt bitter in his heart: "It's not that I was fired because I didn't do a good job. Can you blame me?"

Song Jiahui felt even more disturbed: "That was not your original choice!"

The air in the room froze instantly.

Pan Guanlin explained to his youngest daughter in embarrassment: "There are three bedrooms in the house, your mother and I live in one, your second sister's family of three lives in one, and the other one is used by Shang Yan from time to time. Where do you live when you come?"

Shang Yan said loudly: "The baby is too noisy every day, and it's almost the end of the term. I don't live here."

Pan Xishi's eyes fell on Shang Yan, and found that he was also looking at him angrily, his forehead was still red, but he could feel the child's kindness in his eyes.I thought that as long as this guy stopped slandering grandma, he would never have the same knowledge as him no matter what.

Song Jiahui said to Shang Yan: "Your mother will let you go home after eating to prepare for the final exam and welcome the new third year. That's why I tidied up your room and gave it to Xinyi to live in."

"Xinyi, Pan Xinyi?" Pan Xishi knew that this was the daughter of the second uncle's family. She was two years younger than herself and had just graduated from graduate school.It is said that he looks a lot like her.

Pan Xihong explained: "Xinyi is coming next week. She has found a job in Xingang, and she may live in our house for a long time. My eldest sister and I promised her in the sister group."

When Pan Guanlin asked, he couldn't help being happy: "Xinyi is coming, isn't she studying in Xi'an? Why did she graduate so soon? It's good to work in Xingang, and we can take care of each other, otherwise she is a daughter The children and their parents are all in Inner Mongolia, which is also worrying. The children of our old Pan's family are all promising, and they all graduated from prestigious schools."

Song Jiahui said: "Xinyi's boyfriend seems to be in Xingang, so it means that she is going to get married? I don't know how to buy a house later. When the time comes, Xihong and your eldest sister will give it to the staff. Children in small places read It’s not easy for a graduate student to come to a big city to settle down, but it’s really uplifting. The second brother and the second younger sibling also asked me on WeChat for a long time. You went on a trip with Lao Lu some time ago, so I didn’t bother to tell you.”

Pan Xishi was silent, she suddenly hated herself sitting here at this moment, sitting here asking for help from some people who had the closest blood relationship but were actually strangers.

"Understood, then I'll go first!"

Pan Guanlin hurriedly said: "Why don't you share a room with Xinyi, girls are just going to make do with it!"

Pan Xishi smiled and shook his head: "No need, I see that there is a single bed in the room, and I have to make a bed on the floor then."

Shang Yan said: "It's okay to let my aunt live in the living room. Or can I replace my room with a double bed?"

The air was suddenly silent, and no one spoke.Pan Xishi stood up, opened the door and left, no one in the room stood up to keep her, and only after she had walked into the corridor did she faintly hear Song Jiahui's complaint.

"I know this child is not so filial to see his parents during the holidays. He thinks of having parents when he doesn't want to pay the rent. If he is not satisfied, he gets angry and leaves. Now the house looks good. Back then, our family of four was saving money to repay the loan. , I haven't seen her contribute a little bit! She can't even say a good word, just like someone owes her."

Pan Xishi's tears were forced back to her eyes, and she said to Fan Wenbin in her heart, if you agree with me, you should call me and take me home.

She went downstairs, and there was nothing under the street lamp.The sweet picture of the past appeared in front of his eyes. At that time, he said: Where do you think our home will be bought in the future? "

She smiled and said: "Anywhere is good, where you are is home!"
