It’s a Stepmother, Not a Sister [70s] - Chapter 133

    Cheng Mingxi fiddled with the black camera in his hand, lowered his head and studied it for a while, “This is the latest model, Mom, take a look, I’ll take some pictures for you later.”

      , also said to buy a new camera.

    The whole family got together to celebrate the New Year, so I had to take a lot of photos.

    Cheng Mingxi pressed the shutter button, because there was no film loaded, she only felt the button under her index finger vibrate for a moment, and there seemed to be no other response, “Is this even a photo?”

      A lot of hair has been dyed black, with light makeup and mouth grease on his face, and his whole body is a few years younger than his gray appearance more than ten years ago.

    “Hey, good.” Zhao Yinghua put on his coat, glanced at Cheng Mingxi, picked up the mirror and looked at him, then walked briskly to the door, “I’m going out, go Then go to Mrs. Lin’s house.”

    He opened the door and walked out.

      The hat covered his bald head, and his straight facial features were well-rounded. Over the years, Master Qi has become more and more dignified.

    Cheng Mingxi laughed at his growing majesty just like the belly of a general he was carrying.

    She put down her phone, reached out and patted the “watermelon” on the other’s stomach, and heard a muffled sound, “You, ah! It’s not ripe yet.”

    Qi Yan pushed her hand away with a look of disgust, “What’s wrong with patting? Can a man’s stomach be patted like that?”

    Cheng Mingxi smiled and kicked him, “Do you think it’s time for you to clean up?”

    “How old are you?”

    “How can you say so exaggerated, at my age, I still maintain a good figure…” Qi Yan lifted the waistband, very satisfied with his figure, “This is not In winter, every winter, I will gain a dozen pounds, and I will naturally lose weight next summer.”

    Cheng Mingxi grabbed a handful of raisins and ate them one by one, “When your fifth brother comes, you will know what low self-esteem is.”

    “You don’t understand this, man, this is a natural process, look at that…I think about it, just that Xiao Chen, head of Chen, when he was young, wasn’t it? You are tall and handsome, and you praised him as a rare handsome guy, but what about now?”

    “If you are over thirty, your hair is sparse. Look at the forehead, it is also shiny. Is the person more swollen than before?”

    “No matter how handsome a young man is, when he is middle-aged, it is not like that. , it doesn’t make much difference.”

    “Just an ordinary uncle.”

    Cheng Mingxi glared at him with a smile, “Virtue, I don’t believe it, look at our mother, fifth brother must be doing well.”

    “Is this something you can keep if you want to keep it? They are the ones who trained hard when you were young, and your body is in good shape. Once you get older, your physical strength can’t keep up, and your physical strength relaxes. It’s easier to gain weight than the average person.”

    Qi Yan laughed, patted her thigh, and said excitedly: “I’ve been waiting for the day when Xiao Wu gets fat!”

    Cheng Mingxi: “…” Are you sure it’s your brother?

    Qi Yan pushed her daughter-in-law’s elbow, secretly rubbing it and instigating: “When the time comes, you can ask Xiao Jiang to pat the fifth’s belly to see if it’s cooked.”

    Cheng Mingxi shuddered, “Don’t say it, I really can’t imagine that picture.”

    When Qi Heng was young, he was tall, handsome and cold.

    “It’s worth looking forward to just because I can’t imagine it.” Qi Yan was very emotional, he turned and said, “Why did our mother go out again?”

    “When I came here, I was busier than me.”

    Cheng Mingxi picked up the camera again, “I’m busy, aren’t I busy, a lot of old acquaintances who haven’t seen each other for many years, this is not to line up to meet one by one.”

    “Yes, after all, we have lived here for many years.”

    “No, I went to Auntie Lin’s house today.”

    Qi Yan rubbed over to look at what she was holding, and grabbed a handful of raisins by the way, “My mother is really not too tired to panic.”

    “Not tired, not tired at all, my mother is happy.” Cheng Mingxi was very happy to see Zhao Yinghua seeing old friends every day, “Our mother has changed a lot in the past few years, just met her. I almost didn’t recognize it.”

    “No, I’m getting younger and younger.”

    “Ten years have passed.”

    “Xiao Wu and his family are coming soon.”

    “Yes, I heard that I’ll come by plane.”

    A lot of people gathered at Mrs. Lin’s house in the military compound.

    “I heard that Lao Zhao is back?”

    “When she came back, speaking of her, she was also suffering. She gave birth to five sons, sacrificed three, and now there are two remaining. It’s a hard life, when did you come here before, and you said that you were going to help the younger son with the grandson, and he never came back from this area…”

    “Are you not getting along well with the Cheng family?”

    “It’s also a sigh, who knows what happened back then, if the Qi family member was still there, then…the Cheng family went up later.”

    “How many years have you spent with her youngest son?”

    “Qi…Qi Heng? This child was so good at the beginning. Who wouldn’t praise her when she saw it? I was envious of her having such a young son.”

    “I heard that she married a girl from the village, and her parents died? The people in their family are really strange. I’d like to introduce a girl from a large courtyard, and don’t…”

    “This girl is a blessing.”

    One of them, He Shuqing, an old lady in green clothes, laughed: “So Lao Zhao is reluctant to come back when he goes, and the daughter-in-law from a small place is naturally easy to bully, so can you stay here?”

    “Haha, yes, but there are three or four children over there for her to take care of, too.”

    “Speaking of which, it’s still hello Sister He. You have a son and a daughter, and everyone is by your side, and everyone is filial.”

      I envy Zhao Yinghua for giving birth to five sons, her husband is promoted quickly, and he treats her well, and there are no other little hooves out to disturb the marriage.

    Now it’s better, Zhao Yinghua’s first half of her life was smooth, and the second half of her life was soaked in bitter water. Five sons died and three of them died. People are full of the pain of losing children in middle age, and she is no better than her with one son and one daughter How much stronger.

    This fate is to play with people.

    “I’ll see Lao Zhao later, please comfort her a little more.”

    “Hey, hey, I heard some movement outside, is it Zhao Yinghua and her people here?”

    Zhao Yinghua chatted with a woman next to her and walked in with a smile. Old Mrs. Lin and the few next to her were all surprised when they saw her. The dark-haired and energetic woman in front of her was actually them. The old Zhao you knew before?

    How come you look younger than when you left ten years ago? ?

    Zhao Yinghua looked at a circle of old friends and waved: “Old sisters, long time no see!”

    “How have you been all these years?”

    “Me? I’m doing fine.”

    Old Mrs. Lin asked, “You didn’t say that you were only going to help take care of your pregnant daughter-in-law, why didn’t you come back?”

    “Ah.” Zhao Yinghua smiled, “That’s different. I went to the Children’s Palace to become a calligraphy teacher. I had a job and couldn’t come back. I really like my current job.”

    “You’re dressed up really well, this dress is dignified and beautiful, why haven’t I seen it on the market?”

    “My fifth daughter-in-law made it for me.” Zhao Yinghua pulled up the hem of her clothes, she was very happy.

    Women, no matter what age, there is no one who does not like beautiful clothes.

    “Your daughter-in-law still has this skill?” Mrs. Lin was surprised.

    “No, she is good at craftsmanship, Xiaowu’s daughter-in-law is a teacher in an art school, what kind of clothing printing and dyeing, clothing design majors are there in their school… There are a lot of fresh clothing designs, she Made a few sets for me too.”

    “Really?” Several old ladies were surprised, just heard that her youngest daughter-in-law is a country girl in the countryside, how can she be a teacher at the university now.

    After Zhao Yinghua came in, the smile on He Shuqing’s face faded, “I didn’t hear that your fifth daughter-in-law was looking for a rural girl from the countryside. You told people that back then. Why are you now a university teacher again?”

    “Another one?”

    Zhao Yinghua glared at her: “What nonsense are you talking about, my fifth daughter-in-law is an excellent girl herself, she is a good girl, she is good at studying, and she is good at falling in love with the teacher of the bookstore. Her paintings are excellent. He has won awards in newspapers.”

    “What happened to the village girl, you and I were not both village girls before?”

    A man next to him interjected: “That’s right, old He, don’t talk nonsense.”

    “Lao Zhao, are you planning to stay when you come back this time?”

    “No, I still have a job in Shancheng. This time I’m here with my second wife and daughter-in-law for the New Year. Let’s get together as a family.”

    “What about your youngest son’s house? We came here together this time? Why didn’t you call out to meet?”

      What about your Xiaowu family? You are not complete, how can it be considered a good gathering? “

    “They came over and saw them after a few days. This time, they went to Jinling and the capital first, and then came by plane.”

    “Still going in such a big circle?”

    “No, so I’m not with them.”

    “Why are you still going to Jinling?”

    “My eldest grandson, as well as the fifth daughter-in-law and her younger brother, are now studying in college, and the fifth daughter-in-law said to meet her son and younger brother first, and then go to two places to play around , after the reunion, take the plane back together.”

    “My old bones, I won’t toss with them.”

    Old Mrs. Lin frowned and tried to recall the old events of the year, “Your eldest grandson, the more that child is, right? That is a little boy who is carved in pink and jade, how old is he? It’s not yet two years old. Ten? Why did you go to university? Where did you study?”

    “Sixteen, not too small.”

    “See you, this child grows up, we must meet.”

    After the plane stopped and opened the door, Jiang Shuangling couldn’t wait to get off the plane. She felt uncomfortable in the plane, and wished to experience the feeling of being down-to-earth immediately, especially the seat on the plane, It was too cramped to move around freely, and there was no chance to even stand and rest.

    More importantly… the noise is quite loud, the roar of the plane and the clatter of the train, the roar seems to give the illusion of deafness.

    After getting off the plane, Jiang Shuangling breathed a sigh of relief: “My ears are finally clean.”

    I came to Yucheng from the capital all of a sudden, and my body is still a little overwhelmed at the moment. Yucheng is at a certain altitude, and it is not cold in winter. Compared with the north where the leaves are withered, it can be regarded as nothing to see here. In the shadow of winter, the branches are lush, and the leaves are still turquoise.

    After walking a few steps, the whole family took off their thick coats. The second brother Qi Yan arranged for a car to pick up their family and went directly to the military compound.

    This is a two-story single-family building. Downstairs, you can see a balcony on the first and second floors, drying clothes. Cheng Mingxi saw the car parked downstairs on the second floor. , shouting from upstairs: “Brother and sister, people are coming, people are coming.”

    “I’m waiting for you to come.”

    “Our mother went out to visit, and Qi Yan hasn’t come back yet.”

    Cheng Mingxi turned her eyes to Qi Heng, Qi Yue, Qi Hui, and Qi Xi who were standing over there, she quickly stopped them, “Wait for me, I’ll go in Get a camera.”

    “Sister-in-law, we have a camera here.”

    “No no, use mine.”

    Jiang Shuangling saw Cheng Mingxi came back with the camera and took a few pictures, Cheng Mingxi stopped the person again: “Your family name is Qi, stand and take a photo together, take a look at your family Qi Heng, Qi Yue and Qi Hui, these three stand together, this is too spectacular.”

    Comrade Xiao Jiang can empathize with her sister-in-law very much. She got together with the second sister-in-law to study how to take photos. She also has some experience, “Huihui, stand over a little bit.”

    Qi Xi, who was holding hands by her uncle, was greedy for taking pictures over there, and weakly raised an objection: “Mom, Xixi is also surnamed Qi.”

    Cheng Mingxi and Jiang Shuangling both laughed, “Then Xixi, stand over too.”

    So Xixi ran over and became the only dwarf under the three long legs. This dwarf melon is so beautiful on her own, I don’t know, it’s all her dwarf.

    Jiang Shuangling blinked, “Why do I think they look taller.”

     “Brother and sister, you are not delusional, I also think they have grown taller.”

    Little Xixi successfully made her father and brothers taller.

    The lively downstairs here also attracted the family living next door, “Look over there, is it the family of Master Qi’s younger brother?”

    “Hey, these kids are so handsome.”

    “Thank you for visiting tomorrow, and ask if the child has a partner?”

    After Jiang Shuangling and his family arrived, they got the news that Qi Yan and Zhao Yinghua were back.

    Qi Yan and Cheng Mingxi were quite puzzled, “Little Wu, your family is really good at taking pictures.”

    “Why do you stand so good-looking, Xiao Wu?”

    Cheng Mingxi covered her mouth and smiled: “Look at the fifth brother’s belly, and then look at yours.”

    Jiang Shuangling stared at the belly of the second brother’s little general, and suddenly cast her eyes on Qi Heng’s side. She stared at her man’s waist seriously, thinking for a while.

    Qi Heng felt her gaze, “…”

    I always feel that my daughter-in-law is thinking about some strange things.

    The photo was finally taken, and it was getting late. The family and Meimei entered the house for dinner. Qi Yan held Xixi, a little niece, in her arms and was reluctant to let go, but it was rare for them to have a family together. The only girl of the two generations.

    “Xixi, Xixi’s name is Uncle, our Xixi looks so cute.”

    “Xi Xi is so nice.”

    Jiang Shuangling went to help Cheng Mingxi prepare dinner, Jiang Che and Qi Yue came in to cut vegetables and kill chickens swiftly, Qi Yue helped to kill all chickens and ducks, Jiang Che could only be indignant The duck was sewn up.

    “Jiang Er, I have long thought that you are suitable for Babao duck.” Qi Yue provoked lazily.

    “Check your craftsmanship, how are you sewing?”

    Jiang Che held the needle in his hand and shook it in front of Qi Yue, “Qi Er, if you have the ability, you can lean over a little bit, the needle in my hand doesn’t have eyes, so carefully sew on your body? “

    Qi Yue provoked with a knife: “Can you pierce it? Jiang Er? Do you want to try?”

    Jiang Che held the pin with a smile on the corner of his mouth, “Just try it.”

    Jiang Shuangling stood beside her with her hands on her waist, and said coldly, “What do you two want to try?”

    The kitchen is so small, do you still think you are a four or five year old child?

    Qi Yue: “…”

    Jiang Che: “…”

    “Ayue, go wash the vegetables, or I’ll let you eat chicken butts later.”

    “A Che, you continue to sew the duck, or you will eat the duck’s butt.”

    A table of sumptuous dishes was prepared, and a lively reunion dinner was eaten. The scene was too lively. Brothers Qi Yue and Qi Heng drank a lot of wine. Qi Yue and Jiang Che also drank some, and even Zhao Yinghua, Cheng Mingxi and Jiang Shuangling drank some.

      around.

    Qi Heng seemed to be drunk, put her arms around her waist and put her head on the shoulders of her daughter-in-law, Jiang Shuangling was also a little dizzy, she turned her head dully, and saw the hairy head and That familiar handsome face.

    “Qi Heng? Are you drunk?”

    “Are you really drunk by the second brother?”

    “You can really drink.”

    Qi Heng’s drinking capacity has not increased at all over the years.

    Of course, Jiang Shuangling doesn’t really understand what Qi Heng’s drinking is? It seems… he can drink a lot, as for how drunk he is? The level of drunkenness depends entirely on metaphysics. After all, there are too few samples of drunkenness.

    Qi Heng rarely drinks alcohol.

    Jiang Shuangling half-squinted her eyes, she was already quite sleepy after drinking, but she felt that it was rare to see Qi Heng drunk, so she thought of teasing him again.

    After all, this dog man is very good when he is drunk, he is obedient, and he is allowed to play with her.

    Jiang Shuangling shoved the man onto the bed in a daze, up and down her hands, and peeled off her coat. Thinking of the general’s belly she saw in the daytime, she couldn’t help touching the man’s stomach a few more times. Bundle.

    She found in a trance that Qi Heng still had abdominal muscles. After so many years, nothing else had changed. It felt warm and smooth to the touch.

    “I don’t know how many years I can stay.” Comrade Xiao Jiang couldn’t help but feel a little sigh, and he was afraid that in a few years, Qi Heng’s figure would become the same as the second brother.

    It’s quite fun to think about it haha.

    I was chatting with the second sister-in-law when I was just eating, listening to the second sister-in-law’s complaint as a close person, and there was a little sweetness of the passage of time in the warmth.

    “The sunset is infinitely beautiful, but it is only near dusk.”

    Qi Heng, who was resting on her thigh, opened her eyes suddenly, “Can you say this in thirty years?”

    “At that time, I was really in my seventies and eighties.” Jiang Shuangling replied subconsciously. After she finished answering, she was surprised to find, “Qi Heng, are you sober?”

    “You made me sober up.” Qi Heng picked up the opponent’s hand and touched a key place on his body.

    Comrade Jiang, who has already known this big brother very well, didn’t look panicked, “Young man, you are still very angry.”

    “You come to add oil and vinegar, can you not get angry?”

    Jiang Shuangling: “…”

    “After so many years, your lips have also worn out.”

    Qi Heng lay there, smiling at her with drunken eyes: “It’s all well taught by the leaders.”

    “Sister Jiang, help me.”

    “Help you, wait.”

    “…can you help me in the right place?”

    Qi Heng held the opponent’s hand and took it down, Jiang Shuangling smiled and kissed his face, “Hurry up, don’t let you wait, wait for a few years, you will change With the stomach like the second brother, the touch is different.”

    Qi Heng: “No.”

    Jiang Shuangling reassured him: “Actually, I’m just like the second sister-in-law. I really don’t mind. People get old, right? Even if you’re bald and people get fat, I’ll like you.”

    Qi Heng: “…that’s not what your hand said.”

    “There are flowers that can be folded straight and must be folded, don’t wait until there are no flowers and empty branches. I am not cherishing the good times when I have them.”

    Qi Heng’s eyes darkened a lot, and his voice became hoarse, “Then let me cherish it.”

    Jiang Shuangling hugged him, suddenly she didn’t know where the anger and panic came from, “Qi Heng, do you think I’m old and ugly?”

    Qi Heng lowered her head and kissed her on the lips, “You talk with your conscience, how can I despise you for being old and ugly.”

    “I’m afraid that you think I’m old and ugly. When I was in my twenties, you shouted that you wanted to see me grow white and bald, and now you want to make me fat. get fat.”

    The man’s complaint made Jiang Shuangling feel an indescribable feeling in her heart, and made her realize the worry she didn’t realize, “I’m actually afraid that I will grow old faster than you, my hair will turn white first, and my face will turn white. Wrinkled and out of shape…”

    …will you despise me?

    It is clear that all the things of aging have not started to happen, but she already has such worries, it is a panic that unknown things are coming.
