Chapter 76 Sanchi is a guest
"Sister."
"Sister."
Two childish voices instantly filled the silent alley with life.
Xia Yaoyao knelt down and picked up Sang Canming, holding Sang Canyang with her other hand. She was not tired at all, and her smile never disappeared.
"Uncle, aunt, come in and sit in the house."
The door was opened early, and Xia Jinkuo and Li Yinshuang welcomed the guests in.
"Hello Secretary Sang, I am Yaoyao's father. I have always heard Yaoyao mention you before."
Xia Jinkuo stretched out his hand to say hello, and the flattery on his face made Xia Yaoyao and Li Yinshuang stunned. Especially the latter's nose felt sore when she saw her husband like this.
In the past, the Xia family didn't need to please anyone.
A middle-aged man still has to please a junior. This scene made Li Yinshuang feel uncomfortable.
Xia Yaoyao noticed something was wrong with her mother and quickly pulled her over.
Sang Qi was polite, "It's too polite to call me secretary. I am Yaoyao's uncle, and you will be my brother and sister-in-law from now on."
"Yeah, Sanqi always complains that the house is too deserted, especially during the Chinese New Year. Now it's better. Our family can get together during the Chinese New Year and be lively."
From the moment Zhang Xiaoqin entered the door, she silently looked at the decorations in the room, but there were no decorations that were too out of the ordinary.
It looks similar to ordinary people's homes, which is indeed no different from what Xia Yaoyao said.
"Wash your hands and eat. I have limited conditions at home, and I don't know your taste. I just made some. Don't dislike it."
Li Yinshuang greeted people to eat.
Zhang Xiaoqin and Sang Qi looked at the food on the table, then looked at each other in tacit understanding and said nothing.
Xia Jinkuo poured wine for Sanqi. The moment he handed the glass over, a small hand caught it before Sanqi could.
Xia Canming's face was serious, "Dad, the doctor said you can't drink!"
The atmosphere on the court was stunned. Zhang Xiaoqin explained, "Sorry, Brother Xia, Sanqi went to the hospital two days ago and was diagnosed with gastroenteritis. It is true that he cannot drink."
Xia Jinkuo's mind was spinning very fast. He closed the lid of the wine bottle as he said, "You have gastroenteritis, so you have to be careful. You really can't drink this wine."
"How about I ask your sister-in-law to make two more lighter meat dishes. The braised pork is a bit greasy, but the chicken soup is still drinkable."
Li Yinshuang was waiting for Sanqi's answer, as if waiting for his order, she was ready to jump up from the bench to cook.
Sanchi waved his hand and refused, "No, these are enough. Eating too much is a burden."
"Then use your chopsticks. You have worked hard to come here and try your sister-in-law's craftsmanship."
Sang Canming wanted to pick up the chicken stewed vermicelli on the opposite side. He picked up the chopsticks and tried it, but he couldn't reach it.
Xia Yaoyao noticed and picked up his bowl, "I'll help you."
"No, I want to do it by myself." Sang Canming made a mistake and insisted on doing it by himself, standing on the bench out of reach.
Seeing her son standing on the bench and not following the rules, Zhang Xiaoqin frowned and gave a stern warning.
"Sang Canming sits down, do you think this is your home?"
Sang Canming got the vermicelli as he wished. The crystal clear sweet potato vermicelli was too long, so he dragged it out of the enamel basin and had to pass through several dishes before reaching the bowl.
Zhang Xiaoqin couldn't bear it anymore, stretched out her hand and pinched the child, "Sit down and I'll give you whatever you want to eat."
Sang Canming was pinched before he could sit firmly, and his center of gravity was unsteady and he fell back.
His little hands scrambled around in a panic, grabbing Sanchi's clothes, and he fell backwards while grabbing the bowl with the other hand.
Sanqi hurriedly went to help the child, and all the vermicelli and rice in the bowl poured onto Sanqi's clothes. The situation instantly turned into chaos.
Zhang Xiaoqin suppressed her anger and glared at Pihou's eldest son, "Just wait."
Xia Yaoyao touched the back of Sang Canming's head and comforted him softly, "Are you not scared?"
Gu Canming shook his head, but when he thought of his mother's fierce eyes just now, he felt terrified. He didn't want to go home tonight.
Li Yinshuang brought a new towel, "This is a new handkerchief. Wipe the things on your clothes first. I'll go find some comfortable clothes. After wiping them, go in and change them."
"Okay, thank you sister-in-law." Sanqi took the handkerchief calmly and slowly wiped the vermicelli and rice grains off his body.
Seeing him dawdling, Zhang Xiaoqin grabbed the handkerchief and wiped it clean.
Xia Jinkuo led people to the room. The clothes had been found and placed on the bed.
Sanchi unbuttoned and changed out of his dirty clothes. There was nowhere to put the dirty clothes. He could only put them on the desk chair temporarily to avoid soiling the bed.
As he walked over, his eyes were caught by a photo on the table.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
The girl in the gray and white photo looked to be only eight or nine years old. She had a curly haircut, was wearing a fluffy skirt, and was holding a book in her hand. She smiled exactly like his eldest sister.
Sanchi's breath was stagnant, and he seemed to see his childhood eldest sister through the photo.
The photo was pressed down by a piece of glass and he couldn't pick it up. Sanchi could only stand at the table and look at it.
Just like that, I don’t know how long it took, but Zhang Xiaoqin’s urging came from outside, “Sangqi, why haven’t you changed it for so long?”
"Come out soon."
Sanqi's thoughts were brought back to reality. The person in the photo was probably his eldest sister's daughter, and the blood in his body instantly boiled.
Xia Yaoyao only returned to the Xia family two years ago, so this could not be the Xia family.
The photo was yellowed and had a date on it, so it looked like it was someone else.
Sanchi gathered his emotions and left the room with a smile on his face, "Sorry, I'm a bit slow."
"It doesn't matter. Let's eat first. If you don't eat, you'll be cold." Xia Jinkuo didn't care at all.
This meal was tasteless to Sanchi, and his mind was filled with the photo just now.
As a wife, Zhang Xiaoqin noticed something was wrong with her husband and took advantage of the time when Xia Jinkuo and Li Yinshuang went to the kitchen.
"What's the matter with you? After changing your clothes, you feel like a different person. When you come out of the room, you look like you're out of your mind."
When Sanchi thought about the photo, he couldn't hide his excitement, and his voice was trembling when he spoke.
"I seem...I seem to have found my eldest sister's biological daughter."
After listening to this, Zhang Xiaoqin looked around carefully and made sure that Xia Yaoyao was still playing with her children in the yard, and the Xia family couple were still in the kitchen.
She deliberately lowered her voice, "Are you sure you're not dazzled?"
"No, that child looks almost exactly like my eldest sister when she was a child." Sanchi was sure.
"This is not the place to talk. Let's talk when we get back. Don't say this in front of Yaoyao. You can't do it as well as your dear ones. The child will think too much after hearing this."
Sanchi picked up the cup, looked at the steaming tea, and acquiesced to this sentence.
"Mom and Dad, are there guests at home?!"
A male voice came from outside the yard.
Xia Yaoyao, who was taking care of her children in the yard, saw her elder brother coming back with his girlfriend. Shock flashed across her face and she couldn't recover for a long time.
At this juncture, why did the eldest brother come back with his shrewd sister-in-law?
If the sister-in-law knew Sanchi's identity, something bad would happen.
