Chapter 994 Thirty Years of War
People who live in the shanty towns mostly wash their clothes by the river. Xu Feng is quick with her hands and feet, and she doesn't like chatting with others, so although she didn't arrive too early, she was the first to finish washing.
"Aunts and ladies, I'm going back first."
Xu Feng wrung out the washed clothes and put them in the basin. After greeting everyone in Bian'er politely, she turned around and left with the basin in hand.
After Xu Feng left, the remaining people gathered together to discuss again.
"I said, I wonder if you have discovered something."
A woman who had lived here for more than ten years spoke mysteriously. After everyone focused their attention on her, she continued.
"Do you think Feng Yatou doesn't look like the same family as the Xu family?"
As soon as these words were said, the others looked at each other in confusion. One of the most enthusiastic aunts immediately said: "This can't be nonsense. Girl Feng is not from the Xu family. Who else can she be from?"
"That's right, what you said makes no sense. We've watched Girl Feng grow up. Although the couple of the Xu family are not easy to get along with, they are not mean to Girl Feng. Why are they not the Xu family? "
It has been ten years since the Xu family moved here. Their family is living a pretty good life. Although they are not as good as those wealthy families in Jinling City, they are still the first to live in a shantytown. .
Xu Dadong is a hard-working man who carries sandbags when he sees the sky. He can endure hardships and is willing to work. In addition, he is quick-witted and eloquent. He also has seven or eight people who work with him.
Although Xu Shufen has a mean mouth and a bad temper, her skills in midwifery are unparalleled. She is a well-known midwife. Many people specially ask her to come and deliver babies. She can also make money with this skill. A lot of money comes.
The lives of the Xu family are better than those of the upper class, and they don't know it. But in this shantytown, who doesn't envy their family's life?
Xu Dadong and Xu Shufen have only one son and one daughter. The eldest daughter, Xu Feng, is seventeen years old this year, and the youngest son, Xu Xiaobao, is only eleven years old.
This couple believed in favoring boys over girls and doted on Xu Xiaobao to the heavens. To them, Xu Feng was just like a little girl. Not only taking care of the lives of the whole family, she also had to take care of Xu Xiaobao. My dear, if Xu Xiaobao has any trouble, even if it has nothing to do with Xu Feng, Xu Shufen will scold him.
However, Xu Shufen scolded Xu Feng, but she never hit Xu Feng. She was not forgiving, but she used some energy when scolding her daughter and did not say anything excessive.
Generally speaking, this couple treats Xu Feng quite well. After all, in these days, no girl has a high status in the family. If based on these, Xu Feng is not a member of the Xu family, then it is wrong. A bit too much.
The fat aunt suddenly became anxious when she saw that no one seemed to believe her. She raised her voice and said, "Don't believe me. Look at that girl Xu Feng. Does she look anything like the couple from the Xu family? If she is really a child of the Xu family, can she not be like her own parents? "
"One more thing, don't you think that girl Xu Feng has a bit of nobility? She doesn't look like a girl from a shanty town, but she looks a bit like an aristocratic lady raised by a wealthy family. Let's Who in this place is as polite as her, and speaks in a soft and gentle voice? "
When the fat aunt said this, everyone's faces also showed thoughtful expressions. If this is really the case, it seems to be the same. That girl Xu Feng is so polite and has never been to school. , I don’t know a word of Chinese characters, but the way she raises her hands and feet, she has a bookish air. If you didn’t know better, you would have thought that she was a young lady trained by a scholarly family.
Xu Dadong and Xu Shufen both have bluffing personalities. Xu Xiaobao looks exactly like them, but is also a bluffing monkey. Xu Feng really seems out of place in the family and doesn't seem like a member of the same family.
"When you put it like that, I feel the same way. Not to mention that Xu Feng is incompatible with the Xu family, she doesn't even look like someone from our shanty town."
"I am also an old man who has lived here for many years. Thinking about it carefully, it seems that she was like this when she was a child. She was quiet, delicate, sensible, and sensible. This is the first time I heard someone say thank you to me. I heard it from her mouth.”
With someone taking the lead, everyone began to recall it. Thinking about it this way, it seemed like it was indeed like this.
In their memories, Xu Feng was a very special girl. They watched her grow up, become more beautiful, and act more appropriately.
"Is it possible that Xu Feng is not actually the child of Xu Dadong and Xu Shufen, but the daughter of a rich family?"
Suddenly, I don’t know who said such a sentence. As soon as this statement came out, everyone immediately fell into silence. Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I think this guess seems a bit too ridiculous.
Can a rich girl from a wealthy family live in a shantytown? I really thought this was something out of a novel. What could a rich girl from a wealthy family have to do with a family like theirs? It's completely impossible to do this one by one.
"Forget it, forget it, don't make blind guesses. You can't get any clues after guessing. On the contrary, it only increases your worries. What is his identity and what does it have to do with us? How should we live our lives? It can change. Isn’t it the same?”
Everyone thought about it carefully and felt that this was the truth. Apart from that, Xu Feng's status had nothing to do with them. Whether it was a rich lady or an ordinary girl, she was now living in a shanty town, and no one had come to her for so many years. Looking for her, she is just a little pheasant and cannot become a phoenix.
Everyone didn't say much on this topic, and quickly changed the topic and talked about other things.
Xu Feng, who returned with the clean clothes, had no idea that these people were discussing her life behind her back. She put the clothes under the clothes drying pole and hung them up one by one.
After she finished all this, Xu Dadong and the others started to get up one after another. Xu Feng was pouring water and handing out towels, like a spinning top, busy in circles.
Ever since she could remember, her life had always been like this, day after day, year after year, always the same, as if nothing had changed.
She seems to have gotten used to this kind of life, and nothing will probably change in this life.
----------------------------------------
"Xinrui, I'm here!"
After a day's rest, Qi Yutong was almost recovered. She remembered her date with Zhang Xinrui, and made a special appointment with her in a cafe the next day.
Zhang Xinrui, who was wearing a dark gray cheongsam, soon saw Qi Yutong sitting not far away - she was really too beautiful. When she sat there, she looked like a good person. She was afraid she didn't know it. Almost everyone in the cafe was paying attention to her.
But Qi Yutong seemed to be used to such gazes, and didn't care at all about the eyes of the people around her. She waved enthusiastically to Zhang Xinrui, indicating her to go over there.
Zhang Xinrui smiled, walked towards Qi Yutong with brisk steps, and then sat down opposite her.
Even though she has known Qi Yutong for a long time, it stands to reason that she is used to seeing Qi Yutong's face, but the impact of Qi Yutong's beauty is too great. Every time she looks at it, she will be shocked by Qi Yutong's beauty, and she will constantly sigh in her heart, How could there be such a beautiful woman like her in the world?
Even if a woman who is too beautiful does not deliberately release her aggression, the people around her will be crushed by her appearance and become dimmed.
"Tongtong, you made an appointment to meet with me yesterday, why didn't you come out? I'm worried about you."
Qi Yutong touched his nose and felt a little guilty.
In fact, she didn't have anything major happened yesterday, but she suddenly remembered what happened in her previous life, and then she was coaxed by her mother and brother for so long. She was so pretentious, how could she remember her date with Zhang Xinrui?
"Well, my eldest brother came back yesterday, and I stayed with him. I'm sorry, I let you go. I paid for everything today as my apology to you."
Zhang Xinrui glanced at Qi Yutong angrily and said angrily: "Look at what you said, I'm worried about you. Do you really think I care about your three melons and two dates?"
Qi Yutong couldn't help but laugh. The smile was as beautiful as a flower, so dazzling that his eyes seemed to have double images.
"To Xinrui, I have an invitation here. It's a banquet hosted by my mother to honor my eldest brother. Remember to come."
With that said, she took out a hollow invitation card from her bag and handed it to Zhang Xinrui.
Zhang Xinrui was stunned for a moment, then lowered his head and looked at the invitation: "Having a banquet?"
If she remembered correctly, Qin Minyan seemed to have never held a banquet for this reason in the past. Why did she suddenly have to clean up Qi Huan's life this time?
Seeing the suspicious look on Zhang Xinrui's face, Qi Yutong thought about it and felt that Zhang Xinrui had no intention of hiding it, so he came up to her and whispered: "I tell you, my mother did it for my brother this time. The blind date banquet is just an excuse for the wedding banquet.”
Blind date party?
Thinking of Qi Wang's outstanding appearance, Zhang Xinrui couldn't help but blush.
But Qi Yutong didn't notice her expression, but continued: "My mother said that my brother is now old enough, and it's time to marry him. In the past, he was so busy that he couldn't leave home all day long, and there was nothing he could do. Introduce girls to him, but this time it’s different. My eldest brother said he would stay at home for a while, so my mother wanted to take this opportunity to solve my eldest brother’s life-long matter. "
A lifelong event?
The expression on Zhang Xinrui's face became dazed.
In fact, she didn't have much contact with Qi Juan, but because she was Qi Yutong's best friend, Zhang Xinrui discovered during the few meetings that Qi Juan was not as cold and ruthless as rumored.
When he faced Qi Yutong, he was unexpectedly gentle, making people want to get closer to him.
