Chapter 325: Wedding Ceremony (6)
Xu Jianlin smiled flatteringly again after hearing this, and after bending down from time to time to apologize, he turned around to pull Liu Mei on the ground, and just happened to see Xu Xu standing in the stairwell at the entrance of the stairs.
Xu Xu's facial features have always been good-looking. When he was born, many people said that this child was good-looking.
Later, Xu Xu's mother died, and no one took care of the child. He was starved to the point of being unrecognizable in Liu Mei's hands, and he didn't have a decent piece of clothing. Even if he had good facial features, they were ruined.
But now, he has been raised by the Ruan family for more than three months, and he has long been reborn. He has grown flesh on his body, white and tender, wears good clothes, and is much taller. His facial features are still so delicate, and he looks as good as the New Year pictures on the wall. He hasn't seen him for a long time, and now he suddenly sees him, and he really doesn't recognize him.
He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but when he met Xu Xu's eyes that looked at him as if he were a stranger, he silently pursed his lips, lowered his head, carried the unconscious Liu Mei up, and left the Ruan family with his head down. Xu Cheng did the same thing behind him, burying his head, and it was impossible to tell what his expression was.
As soon as the three of them left, the others looked at each other. Ruan Xu from the second uncle's family came over and said something flattering with a smile: "Auntie, don't be angry. It's not worth it to get angry on such a good day. Besides, look at this wall, it's all red, doesn't it mean that your family will have a better and better life in the future?"
Ruan Lin was angry in her heart, but she never took her anger out on irrelevant people. Hearing this, she glared at Ruan Xu with a reproachful look: "You are good at talking. When did your mouth become so sweet?"
"Hahahaha, since auntie thinks I'm sweet, why don't you give me a few more cigarettes?" Ruan Xu also smiled and joked.
As he smiled, the atmosphere in the room relaxed, and everyone started to say festive words, and at the same time, they urged Ruan Linshi to give out two more cigarettes.
Ruan Linshi smiled, and no longer had a stern face. She was also a generous person. Without saying a word, she went to the room to get cigarettes and gave each person another cigarette. Du Qing also brought out some melon seeds, peanuts and candies, and handed each female guest another handful.
As for the bloodstains on the wall, they could only wait until the guests left and repaint it with the unused cement at night.
The children who were playing outside saw that there were more candies and melon seeds, and they swarmed in.
Ruan Jiaojiao was afraid that Du Qing would be too busy, so she picked up a small basin and helped to give them to the children.
For the children of the Sixth Brigade, today was undoubtedly similar to the Chinese New Year. They could not eat peanuts and melon seeds on ordinary days, but only during the Chinese New Year. Today, each of them got two handfuls, and each person had three candies on average. Those who had a good relationship with the Ruan family boy could get four or five.
Ruan Jiaojiao was distributing candies and melon seeds and peanuts to the children. When she met Xu Xiao, she was stunned for a moment.
Xu Xiao was probably wearing his best clothes today. He was a little shy standing in front of Ruan Jiaojiao, and was too embarrassed to reach out to take the candies and melon seeds.
Ruan Jiaojiao had basically no bad feelings towards him now. Seeing that he was embarrassed, she smiled and urged him: "Come on, my hands are almost sore."
Hearing this, Xu Xiao hurriedly stretched out his hand, but was afraid that his hands would get dirty, so he rubbed them hard on his clothes twice, and then stretched his hands in front of him.
Ruan Jiaojiao looked at his series of actions and felt a little sour in her heart. She thought he was quite pitiful. After giving him a handful of melon seeds, she grabbed another handful for him and gave him seven or eight candies.
