Chapter 387 Conflict
When Wu Minqi came up with Jiang Feng's freshly cooked yam, she felt that the atmosphere was a little subtle.
Although the four of them seemed to be eating, Jiang Zaide and Jiang Shoucheng were devouring their food with gusto and could be ignored. Sisters Ji Yue and Jixia, who were both drinking porridge, looked a little weird.
The two sisters didn't pick up any food, and had been drinking porridge in silence.
"Eat the shredded yam freshly out of the pot while it's hot." Wu Minqi put the shredded yam on the table, greeted her, and sat down next to Ji Xue.
When Ji Xue saw Wu Minqi coming up, she thought she had taken too long to eat, so she quickly picked up the bowl and poured the eight-treasure porridge into her mouth.
"It has just opened and there are not many customers. I came up to eat when I had nothing to do downstairs. Xue, don't be in a hurry and eat slowly. Are these dishes not to your liking? I see that your sister doesn't eat much." Wu Minqi asked.
Not only did she not eat much vegetables, Wu Minqi didn't see any soup or bones on Ji Xia's plate. She even suspected that Ji Xia didn't eat vegetables at all.
"Xia Xia is afraid of strangers, maybe she's embarrassed." Ji Xue glanced at the expressionless Ji Xia and asked softly, "Xia Xia, don't you like sweets the most? Carrot yam is a sweet food, do you want me to grab a piece for you? .”
Ji Xia still didn't speak.
Ji Xue took it as her acquiescence, gave Ji Xia a chopstick of shredded yam, and told her to be careful not to burn her tongue when eating.
Ji Xia was actually almost full when Wu Minqi came up, so she just drank the porridge in the bowl and ate the carrots Ji Xue gave her in three mouthfuls. Then she put down her chopsticks and continued to sit there with her head down in silence. Bit in a daze.
Wu Minqi didn't move her chopsticks very much, and only drank half a bowl of rice-treasure porridge. After all, she would have another bowl of Jiang Feng's noodles when she got home in the evening, just to make a base for dinner.
If Ji Xue hadn't come back today, Wu Minqi wouldn't even drink porridge at night.
"Axue, what should I do with your sister later? Should I send her back first? Or should I let her stay here? How about I get a tablet for her to play with?" Wu Minqi asked.
"She..."
"I can help." Ji Xia suddenly raised his head and said loudly, his voice was clear but a little hoarse, probably because he hadn't spoken loudly for a long time.
"What are you helping me with?" Ji Xue asked.
"I can sweep the floor, clean the table, and I can cut vegetables." Ji Xia raised her head, allowing Wu Minqi to see her face clearly.
Danfeng eyes, willow eyebrows.
The first thing Wu Minqi thought of was "a pair of red and phoenix triangular eyes, and two curved willow-leaf eyebrows."
It's just that Wang Xifeng has a pink face with no trace of spring, and smells red lips before smiling, but Ji Xia has a dull face. Not only is there no expression on her face, but her eyes are also unmoved, like a pool of calm stagnant water. If a stone enters, it will only cause a few insignificant ripples.
In terms of Wu Minqi's aesthetics, Ji Xia is the kind of appearance she likes very much.
His facial features are deep, angular, and even sharp. He has hair that is longer than the dolls placed in the department store windows. He has a face that is indifferent, even cold, as if he could put on a silver helmet, carry a gun, and ride a horse in the next second. She goes into battle to kill enemies with a face that looks like that of a female general drawn in comics.
With such a distinctive and unique face, combined with Ji Xia's dismal grades, if she had two more fights at school and was a little more unruly, it would be quite consistent with her character as a bad girl.
"Don't be willful anymore. This is a restaurant and everyone has their own job. There are people sweeping the floor, wiping the tables, and chopping vegetables. I'll take you back now," Ji Xueyao said.
"Then, staying in your room doing nothing is like staying at school or at home, just eating and not doing anything but being a waste?" Ji Xia looked at Ji Xue.
"Then I will find a way to find you a tutor for college students. If there are no tutors in town, I will help you find one here. You stay at home and study hard. I asked Teacher Fang and he said that he can find a way for you to take the high school entrance examination again. You Just stay at home and study hard, then prepare for the high school entrance examination next year, enter a high school, and then go to college, and find a good job. You won't be as miserable as me, and you can live a stable life. "
Listening to Ji Xue's words, Ji Xia felt more irritable than ever.
She hears this many times every year, from Ji Xue, her mother, her grandmother, and even her aunt. Listen to them over and over again, putting their hopes, their thoughts, and their love all on themselves.
"Xia Xia, your sister has been dragged down by me and your father all her life. Your parents are useless and useless. Your sister will have to do this for the rest of her life because of us two burdens. You are the only one in our family. , Your sister is so tired and suffering outside all because of you. You must study hard, get into a good university, and find a good job. You must be worthy of your sister’s hardships for so many years.”
"Xia Xia, is Xiaoxue not coming back this Mid-Autumn Festival? Oh, it's really hard for Xiaoxue. Xia Xia, you must study hard and get into a good university and come back to make grandma happy. As long as you get well, grandma will Happy.”
"Xia Xia, I heard your mother say that you got punished for fighting with someone at school? Why are you so uneasy? Your sister is so lucky outside, why don't you let her worry less. You Uncle went to school to find a teacher. You can't do this again. Aunt knows that you are not a bad boy, but you should be sensible when you are so old. We all hope that you will get into a good university in the future and don't let your parents still have you. My sister is disappointed.”
"Xia Xia..."
"Xia Xia."
Ji Xia clenched her fists.
It's like this every time, always.
Their family has long ceased to be a normal family, and their family will never be a normal family again. But it seems that as long as she can live the way they want and live according to the route they planned, their family will be happy.
How is it possible.
How could there be a normal family with a lot of debt? How could there be a normal family with a father who lay in bed all day long waiting to die? How could there be a normal family with a mother with gray hair and tears all day long? How could there be a normal family with a sister who was in junior high school? How could a sister from a normal family go out to work before she even finished her studies? Her grandmother pointed out and scolded her for degrading her father and her mother and degrading the whole family. She should have been thrown away when she was born.
Their family has long been abnormal, why does everyone want her to live a normal life.
"Do you think it's possible?" Ji Xia looked at Ji Xue, wanting to shake her awake and tell her to stop dreaming.
"Is our family rich? The high school in our town can't produce a few college students every year, let alone my grades. Do you really think I can get into college?"
Ji Xue was stunned.
"Xia Xia, you just need to..." Ji Xue wanted to tell Ji Xia that as long as you work hard, you can do it.
But she couldn't say it.
It was as if the bubble-like fantasy she had been trying to weave for so many years had finally been burst by Ji Xia.
Ji Xia has grown up.
Started to have my own ideas.
It's time for her to face reality.
Their family has never been an ordinary family. It used to be, but it has not been since ten years ago. It is impossible for her and Ji Xia to live an ordinary life, at least not now.
Jiang Zaide and Jiang Shoucheng had been holding the extracted yam in their mouths for at least half a minute.
They thought they were simply picking up someone, having a meal, and improving the food, but they didn't expect that they were full before the meal was full.
Their expressions now are almost exactly the same as the expressions Jiang Feng and the old man had when they ate Jiang Weiming's old melon during the Chinese New Year.
I don't know how to feel strong and dare not speak.
"Sister, stop dreaming. It's impossible." Ji Xia looked at Ji Xue, "I can't live a normal life."
Wu Minqi, who was also full of food:...
Although she had indeed eaten a lot of melons secretly over the years, the melon that was suddenly forced into her mouth today was indeed a bit embarrassing to eat.
"Axue, why don't you go home first to stay with your sister and have a good chat with her." Wu Minqi suggested.
"But I..."
"It's okay. You can go back first. We'll be busy in the kitchen." Wu Minqi smiled and said, "Fengfeng and I will come find you after get off work in the evening."
Wu Minqi glanced at Ji Xia and gave her a gentle smile: "Studying may be the most normal and safest way, but it is never the only way. I also dropped out of college this year, because for me, I have A better choice.”
"But first you have to know what you want to do. Go back and have a good chat with your sister. Axue just can't say it, but she really cares about you. Those of us who are colleagues can see it."

"I'll go and get busy first." Wu Minqi waved to the two sisters. Take a bite of "I Add a Dot to Everything", it is on the shelves today, you can go and support the first order~
