Xiao Yan and his father Xiao Xing were sitting next to each other, replying to messages with their eyes downcast. When they noticed that something was wrong, they looked up at the scene in front of them.
Even though he was indifferent, he could tell that the relationship between the stepmother and her daughter was not right.
The girl stood with her head down, her fan-like eyelashes drooping, her lips pursed to a pale color, and her white toes curled up uneasily.
He took a look and then looked away.
The atmosphere was tense.
Then, Xiao Xing smiled gently and said, “Is this Yi Yi? Hello, my last name is Xiao. You can call me Uncle Xiao. This is Xiao Yan, Uncle’s son. Just call him by his name.”
Grandma Qu responded and nodded in agreement, pushing Su Yi, “Yes, Yi Yi, greet Uncle.”
“…Uncle Xiao.” Su Yi called out, still without looking up.
“You kid…” Grandma Qu muttered and looked at her daughter tentatively. Seeing that her daughter still had no expression on her face, she could only sigh secretly and send Su Yi out first.
“There are guests at home. You go to Seventh Grandpa’s house to see, if there are fresh crabs and fish, help Grandma bring back ten pounds.”
Su Yi nodded obediently and walked out the door. In the yard, she could still hear Grandma Qu trying to smooth things over for her.
“Our Yi Yi is too timid and doesn’t even know how to greet people when she sees them.”
Xiao Xing was very polite, “Girls are more gentle. I think Yi Yi is very sensible.”
She didn’t bother to listen to the rest of the conversation.
Mao Tuan was jumping around in her pocket, trying to flatter her.
[Yi Yi, your acting is so good. There was no flaw in your performance just now. It was completely in line with the character’s personality. One hundred points!]
Su Yi smiled and poked its round body through the cloth.
She didn’t take its words seriously. After all, she was an old hand at fighting and killing, but she had never learned the skill of acting. She just observed other people’s performances and copied them.
As for whether the performance was similar or not…
It was said that the first time was unfamiliar, and the second time was familiar, so she must be given a process of improvement.
Mao Tuan screamed in pain from being poked by her, but with nowhere to hide, it had to lie down and pretend to be dead.
Well, its praise was indeed a little exaggerated, but how could it not make the big devil happy? If she was unhappy, it would be the one who suffered.
The smaller the place, the more clans lived together.
The small fishing village was no exception. Most of the people in the village had the surname Su, and anyone you met on the street was likely to be a relative of Su.
The Seventh Grandpa mentioned by Grandma Qu had the same grandfather as Su Yi’s grandfather. He could read and write and had excellent calligraphy. Villagers always asked him for help with weddings and funerals, so he had quite a bit of prestige.
At that time, Su Yi’s identity was unclear, so it was difficult to register her household registration. It was the Seventh Grandpa who asked someone to find a relationship for her, and it was he who made the final decision to give her the surname Su.
So although the two families were a little distantly related, they were closer than ordinary cousins.
When Su Yi came, the Seventh Grandpa was sitting at the door of his house smoking a water pipe, and the water in the bamboo pipe gurgled.
“Seventh Grandpa, Seventh Grandma.” She greeted them.
Seventh Grandpa looked through the smoke, squinted his eyes, and nodded.
Seventh Grandma put down the fishing net in her hand and smiled, “It’s Yi Yi. Have you eaten yet?”
Su Yi shook her head, walked closer, and squatted down, helping to untie the seaweed wrapped around the fishing net, “Not yet. There are guests at home. Grandma asked me to ask if Uncle’s fishing boat had returned.”
“Don’t move, don’t move. You’re clean, don’t get dirty.” Seventh Grandma didn’t let her move, stood up, and led the way into the house.
“Your Uncle has been back for a while, and there is still a basket of seafood left at home. Come and see what you want. If I had known your Grandma wanted it, I would have kept some good ones.”
Although the better-looking ones were bought as soon as they got off the boat, the remaining sea fish were also very fresh.
Crabs were fighting in the baskets, mantis shrimps were arching their bodies high, and many shellfish were spitting water.
