They arrived at Qingchen Station at about ten in the morning, and when they got off the train, Xu Jie was already waiting there. Kiki had previously told her elder brother about her early arrival, but she did not mention Fang Xionan's presence. This caused confusion when they met at the station.
Xu Jie looked at Kiki with a strange expression and asked, "Kiki, who is she?" he pointed at Fang Xionan.
Kiki timidly replied, "He's a target who came with me."
In this year, someone did not say the person was a girlfriend, or, but as a serious target of marriage.And this kind of relationship is also not easy to get rid of if two parties have already admitted it.If you do not want to be called holiganism.
So when Kiki introduced Fang Xionan as a target, then this relationship was very serious actually.
Xu Jie was surprised.
Fang Xionan also politely introduced himself, "I am Fang Xionan, Kiki's target. Nice to meet you, brother-in-law Xu Jie."
However, Xu Jie greeted him coldly and only nodded briefly.
He is not angry, just upset, his sister is young but already has a serious target.Hey, this is annoying.
The atmosphere between them became awkward, but they continued on towards Xu's house with a somewhat tense feel.
Xu Jie has a bad relationship with her father but Kiki and she still has to respect him even though there is no need to be dutiful.So the father's house is still the relevant house for Kiki to go to, not the uncle's house.
Xu Jie only brought a bicycle so Fang xionan had to walk right.
"It's okay, after all there are things I have to do in the city" Fang xionan reasoned.
"Oh then, let's meet in front of the shoe factory, just ask mister xu's house to passers-by "said Xu jie with a sullen face.
Fang xionan did not care about Xu jie, he only smiled slightly and said "i understand "briefly.
After that, Kiki and Fang Xionan parted ways, Kiki rode a bicycle with her older sister back to father's house.
Unlike last year, Xu Xin, had been waiting for Kiki at home with her stepmother of course.
So when Kiki arrived by bicycle, she was greeted with a smiling face at the door.
"If you go home son" he said with an older face compared to last year.
Her gray hair and wrinkles are more numerous this year.Said Xu jie, father often quarrels with stepmother now because of several things.
"Dad, do you look old now, are you sick?"kiki said half insinuating her father.
Dad certainly knows what Kiki means, he's not evasive at all,"Dad a lot of problems late this, so look old hahaha "
"What's the problem with hem, I'm not at home all year, brother also goes to work outside, so what's the problem?" said Kiki who was somehow quite happy with her own father's suffering.
Who told you to be an incompetent father.
"My husband, come in and talk at home, what do people say?"reprimand stepmom hard.Dad and useless child, they only know to be upset every time they meet.
"eh, Kiki, Ajie, Come on in, it's cold outside" said his father as if he had remembered that he was not yet.
Last year, when Kiki came home, she, his old room was already occupied by someone else but this time it was already neatened and he went straight there under the displeased eyes of the stepmother. Surely his smelly father already had a little thought, so he had already taken some precautions early
Kiki did not stay in the room for long, she immediately went out and saw her brother who was about to leave. Gently, he asked, "Sister, where are you going? Don't want to have lunch first?"
Previously, it was mentioned that the stepmother deliberately cooked meat to welcome the arrival of Kiki who only came home once a year. Although this hospitality is purely a pretense, but still better compared to the previous year.
However, Xu Jie said, "No problem, later I will have to go straight to the factory. If it's fast, I can eat in the cafeteria."
I was sad to hear that answer. After they split up, the matter reached the newspapers, and their relationship seemed to be cut off just like that.
The reason for cooking meat was not only for Kiki, but also to ease the relationship between father and son. However, his son refused to sit together at the dinner table.
Dad tried again, "Xu Jie, sit down for a while, eat here. It will not be too late to return to the factory after meals" he said.
But his son just shook his head and said, "Just keep some meat for your dear wife and daughter."
"Xu jie, you...!"
Kiki wanted to laugh, but she was afraid of sin. So, she held him back and let her older brother out of the house by waving his hands.
Oh, now remember, they will spend time in the village, where Kiki's grandparents from next door live.
Mom is actually a very good girl. He comes from a tough village, yet he fights for a better life. In fact, he managed to get a job in the city, and after many years, that job became his official job.
There was also the first uncle who became a soldier, but had not come home for years. He was married and lived in the camp with his son and wife.
The little uncle, who was also married, had three daughters without a single son. This little uncle still lives in the village to look after the elderly. The first uncle often sent money and some tickets as dutiful allowances.
So, the lives of grandmothers and grandfathers remained good in the village, and this was also their reason for not being greedy for the work of Kiki's dead mother.
In the past, Kiki's father promised that when Kiki grew up, the job would be left to her. However, before Kiki grew up, she was sent to the Education Youth Team.
Uncle didn't know, but it was too late to get angry because Kiki had already gone to the village by then.
Little uncle got angry and ransacked my father's house. Kiki did not know that, but Xu Jiming who often went to the village told him this.
Since then, Kiki has always maintained a relationship with the family on the mother's side by sending some items from the village to grandmother and grandfather. The goal is to replace the mother's duty as a good grandchild.
Now, Kiki's goal is to spend time in the village.
Soon the house was only 3 people, Kiki saw the embarrassed face of her father but she did not care at all.
"Dad, I'm hungry" Kiki said casually.
Only then did Xu Xin, aware, she hurriedly said, "oh dad forgot, you must be hungry and tired son, you should eat after that rest in your room"
"Good...
"No, let's wait for Xu Lin to come home, he's gone for a while, what's the harm in waiting a little more" the stepmother cut off in annoyance.
"Oh so?ah dad sorry, I'm hungry so I went to eat at Uncle's house yeah, I don't know when , your daughter's coming home, my stomach can't hold her anymore "kiki said with a pouting face.
Xu xin felt embarrassed, this would also be a lip in the factory. The biological daughter only comes home once every 1 year is actually not allowed to eat and is forced to eat at the uncle's house on the first day he returns.
"Kiki, don't listen to your stepmother's talk Let's eat with Daddy a long time ago Dad didn't eat with his beautiful daughter" he said.
Kiki couldn't step on hearing it and somehow she felt like vomiting.
Hey since when did I get pretty in Dad's smelly eyes? is he eating the wrong medicine?
Xu xin understood that the so-called word di was something he had never said since his wife died. he also felt uncomfortable mentioning it but it was actually what he had realized over the past few months.
The stepdaughter that she had already held as a diamond gem was actually uglier than a stone of times.She only knew to embarrass the family.
Only a few weeks working in the factory, the name is already so popular as the laziest worker. Fortunately he got a partner who matched the rewards of his job.
But it is also the main ingredient of quarrels between husband and wife.
The work was obtained by selling his eldest son .But now it is handed over to an unknown person as a dowry.
The already regretful Xu xin thought that returning the job was Xu jie, and it was up to her to be given to whom the job would be.
But then he lost the fight and finally gave in to the demands of the wife to let the job become a dowry.
Not to mention the Stepdaughter asks for some extra items such as a wedding bed and blanket as well as a radio? ckckck he also asked to be made a banquet so as not to give a face for her at the husband's house.
A stepson asks his stepfather for such a thing, while his own son signs an agreement so that he breaks away from the dowry when he is going to get married.
Is this kind of stepdaughter worth being proud of and can she depend on her old age for a stepdaughter who has a bad nature?
No, so before the kids have a cold heart, then he better be in a relationship with the kids again.
Thank goodness they still consider him a real father.
Kiki did not know what her father was thinking, which was clear as if she was being pulled by something invisible and allowed herself to sit at the dinner table.
Oh look at the face of the stepmother who is not good, but that face actually arouses the spirit of Kiki's appetite.
Kiki had actually gotten tired of meat but today she was so tasteful and spent two extra bowls, which in turn made her stomach full and round.
",Dad, I'm already full" said Kiki seeing Xu xin want to put another piece of meat in her bowl.
"are you really full? don't worry about your brother, there are still a few more pieces in the kitchen" said the father who thought Kiki was pretending out of fear that Xu Lin would not get into the flesh.
"What's in that kitchen for tonight, do you think meat's cheap so we can eat meat every day?"reprimand the stepmother who heard her husband's words.
Her dearest daughter had not eaten yet and this stepdaughter had completely consumed all the dishes. She is the reincarnation of a hungry ghost to eat that much.
Ckckck basic village girl who doesn't know herself.
"Oh auntie don't worry, don't save the meat for me tonight I'll eat at uncle's house oh no I can eat at the state-owned restaurant" Kiki said with a serious face.
"yes in the village you must rarely eat meat, so this meat is very fragrant you think so?But why pretend you want to eat at a state-owned restaurant? think it's easy to make money?" his words with a snort.
Kiki smiled cynically hearing that, she thought her cooking was amazing? hehehe, a mediocre stepmother, was still incomparable to the food in her system drawer. Stepmom looked down on her too much.
"Kiki don't take heart your mother's words, she has a knife mouth heart knows hehehe" said the father wanting to ease a little tension.
" It's okay, I understand .oh yes father, I've eaten and let me rest first" said Kiki who does not care about this husband-and-wife quarrel.
Dad nodded his head and Kiki went straight into his room.Wow he really wanted to immerse himself on the pillow so tired coupled with a full stomach.
This is the true heaven.
Regardless of what happened exactly, Xu Lin did not return until the afternoon.Kiki's long-time father harbored a sense of annoyance to his wife and stepson, bickering heavily in the next room because of that.
So Xu Lin who just returned no less nagging than Xu xin.You know, the reason he did not go home that, you know, because Xu Lin spent some money in the income and procurement cooperatives to buy her wedding trinkets. And he also spent a little money eating at the state-owned restaurant.
Hey aren't the items for the wedding already bought before and what other items she wants to have again.
Every penny spent there, was actually Xu xin's own.
Xu Lin gritted his teeth and said, "Kiki will get married in the village and does not need dowry but I am different. I got married in the city and had to have a dowry in order to be respected in the house of in-laws.Dad didn't you know that?"
"Why doesn't married Kiki need a dowry?his father's still alive.If you're alone, stepson gets the dowry, then why don't my biological son?" said the enraged Xu xin.
"my husband, what do you mean? isn't Kiki already signed a deal, if we don't need to prepare a dowry for her to marry in the future?"
"what does a piece of paper mean? she is my own daughter, my flesh and blood and she has the right to the property I produce, if I say Kiki has a dowry, it means she will have a dowry. ,And the dowry he has should be double the dowry your daughter has"
"what do you say double ? I work in a factory to raise funds and now you're asking me to keep it to get your daughter a dowry? really yummy?" the stepmother said with sarcasm.
It is easy to think what works in a factory and get money.Eh where can the hard earned money be given to others.
Impossible though
"Hah hahaha all this time I was stupid and completely fooled with that face of yours. Did you forget, why did you get a job at the factory? giving dowry to your daughter, money from your hard work in the factory .But as the original owner of the job, Kiki deserves her as well even better" said kiki's father who was no less fierce. He would never quarrel like this but for the sake of his old age he had to side with the children himself.
If you say you are selfish, let it be.
"Dad.. huhuhu dad, don't you love me anymore? Dad.. You used to say I was your daughter who you loved the most, but... But why is it different now? Why?". Xu Lin said sadly.
It was hard to make this stepfather give him equal affection. But why did everything he had done now go to waste? Wh why? Is it just because of the dowry?
Huhuhuhu which girl gets married without having a dowry ?
"Huh ask yourself why it happened. My biological daughter will never give me shame. Even though she was banished to the village but she still maintains her pride and dignity but you...what have you done?"
Kiki who was in the next room of course heard it not only Kiki but other neighbors also heard it because their house is a tube house that looks like a flat in the modern era. but the level of silencers in this kind of house is not very good so that the quarrel can be heard by all the neighbors.
Oh Kiki could be said to be the trigger of the fight but in fact she can still fall asleep comfortably with the headset in her ear.
Touching a guy luck, actually giving him a cell phone, just there's no signal here, but playing a song is okay.
It was roughly what song Kiki was listening to right now.
