By the time the two of them left the hotel and returned home, it was almost twelve o'clock.

Mrs. Jiang hadn't slept yet, and seemed to be waiting for her on purpose.

Jiang Mingzhu stuck out her tongue, "Mom." ”

Mrs. Jiang snorted and glanced at Xue Xingzhi behind her.

He stood at the door, did not get closer, and after saying hello to Mrs. Jiang, he said to Jiang Mingzhu.

"You rest early, I'll go back. ”

Mrs. Jiang made a wooden face, "It's so late, let's stay here." ”

Jiang Mingzhu hurriedly pulled people in.

Mrs. Jiang yawned, "I'll go to sleep first, and don't make it too late." ”

Jiang Mingzhu said, "Good night." ”

Suddenly, he asked, "Which room does he sleep in?"

The Jiang family's house was there, and it was originally enough to live, but now that they have a room to put sundries, Meng Xiaochuan and the old lady each use one room, and Jiang Mingrui occupies another room downstairs.

Now Jiang Mingzhu can't figure out which room is still usable.

Mrs. Jiang didn't reply, and said casually while yawning, "Just sleep in your room." ”

……

Jiang Mingrui lodged a serious protest against Xue Xingzhi's fact that he lived in the Jiang family and lived in the same room as Jiang Mingzhu.

It's a pity that Jiang Mingyan is right, his status in the family is already declining, and now it is not a pity.

Xue Xingzhi has become a poor bastard, but Jiang Mingzhu has defended him everywhere.

As long as Jiang Mingrui said something that didn't matter, she would immediately defend it.

Jiang Mingyan maintained neutrality with Jiang Huai, and Mrs. Jiang also helped Xue Xingzhi.

Jiang Mingrui is isolated and difficult to help.

"Mom, have you forgotten what you said earlier?"

Mrs. Jiang rolled her eyes at him, "What did I say, I didn't say anything." ”

Xue Xingzhi lived in the Jiang family, Mrs. Jiang was still happy, she wished that Xue Xingzhi would come in the door, she could still keep Jiang Mingzhu under her nose, and Jiang Mingzhu would not have to deal with the rest of the Xue family.

Jiang Mingrui was stunned by Mrs. Jiang's changing face, "Mom, don't be blinded by money. ”

Mrs. Jiang went to the balcony and hugged the two of them who were watching the haze together, "I was moved by his true feelings, and if it were you, I might not be able to do this." ”

Jiang Mingrui felt that the queen mother and princesses of his family were too easy to coax, one or two, all like this.

Mrs. Jiang was preparing the red envelopes for the juniors during the New Year, and a few new piles of cash were placed on the table, and they were being sealed into the red envelopes one by one.

Jiang Mingrui kept talking in front of her, always making her forget where to count.

She thought Jiang Mingrui was an eyesore, so she sent him away, "You go find something serious to do." ”

Jiang Mingrui said: "What serious things do you have to do now?"

Mrs. Jiang asked, "What about Xiaochuan?"

Jiang Mingrui said, "Let's study." ”

Jiang Mingrui was still gloating, but Xue Xingzhi came over, these two people lived under the same roof, and it would be a little embarrassing to do anything.

In fact, it was he who completely overthought it.

Meng Xiaochuan only politely said hello to Xue Xingzhi and went to the study, either writing his work summary report or reading a book.

As for Xue Xingzhi, he and Jiang Mingzhu have never been separated, the two of them are like conjoined babies, and they are together wherever they go.

Now that he is tired of Jiang Mingzhu, he can't get involved in a high-end place like the study.

Mrs. Jiang said, "Everyone Xiaochuan knows to do the right thing, but you don't know." ”

Jiang Mingrui didn't say that what Meng Xiaochuan was doing was writing about the things that were handed over to the work, so as not to cause more trouble.

He squatted over, took the money, and stuffed the red envelope without counting, "I'll help you." ”

Mrs. Jiang slapped his hand away, "Don't move, I've counted everything." ”

Jiang Mingrui was disgusted and frowned, "Why are you doing this waste, now you use your mobile phone to transfer, who still uses cash." ”

Mrs. Jiang said, "What do you know, this is a tradition, profit is profit, and the picture is auspicious, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand." ”

Meng Xiaochuan only came out for a short time during the meal, and even Jiang Mingrui had to admire the degree to which he turned a blind eye to the tiredness of the two.

The old lady couldn't be idle, and what the nanny and aunt at home did, she followed behind to help out, and she couldn't stop.

Don't say that Mrs. Jiang is embarrassed, the nanny is embarrassed.

When it was time to eat, the nanny served the dishes, and she helped serve them.

Because of Meng Xiaochuan's special instructions, the old lady also changed her name to Xue Xingzhi.

She went to the balcony to call the two of them to dinner, "Mingzhu and Mr. Xue have eaten." ”

Xue Xingzhi glanced at Jiang Mingzhu, "Auntie just call me Xingzhi or Xiao Xue, just be casual at home." ”

The old lady said, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." ”

She turned around and went to help serve the soup.

The Jiang family didn't have the habit of doing anything, and being so suddenly by the old lady, the family, together with Xue Xingzhi, was a little embarrassed.

After all, except for Jiang Huai and Mrs. Jiang, everyone else in this family is juniors, and the old lady is a guest.

Meng Xiaochuan came out of the study in a wheelchair, Jiang Mingrui felt that this was not a solution, so he said to him.

"Xiaochuan, you tell Auntie not to be busy, you are here to be a guest. ”

Meng Xiaochuan smiled and said, "My mother can't be idle, it's just some housework, and she's not tired, so you just let her do it, otherwise she will feel that she is eating white rice here, and she can't go away." ”

Meng Xiaochuan said this, and Mrs. Jiang had no choice but to let the old lady go.

After eating, Mrs. Jiang answered the phone and said to them.

"Your third aunt will come over and sit down later. ”

When she was Jiang Mingzhu, they were still like when they were children, and she told her bitterly, "When people come, you should be polite, call people, serve tea and pour water with a little eyesight, don't just sit like a log." ”

Jiang Mingzhu smiled and squeezed Xue Xingzhi to sit, "Mom, is the third aunt coming alone? She will come over, is there something to do with you?"

Mrs. Jiang also felt that something was wrong when she heard this.

"Listening to your third aunt, it seems that the mood is not quite right, but it should be fine, right? ”

Jiang Mingrui glanced at them, "Is it Minglan's business?"

Several people were stunned, and Jiang Mingzhu asked, "What's wrong with Brother Minglan?"

Jiang Mingrui thought for a while and said, "Minglan won't come back until the New Year, and he will spend the Chinese New Year in other places this year." ”

Mrs. Jiang said, "What's the matter? Didn't you say that you were on a business trip? Why didn't you come back for the Chinese New Year?"

Jiang Mingrui didn't know what Jiang Minglan said to the people in his family, and he didn't say much.

"Isn't the third aunt going to come over in a while? ”

……

Jiang Mingzhu's third aunt Xu Feng came over, and the three brothers and sisters of the Jiang family listened to Mrs. Jiang's words and stood in a row to say hello to her.

Xu Feng's eyes were a little swollen, and he smiled at them reluctantly, "They are all good boys." ”

A few people chuckled in their hearts, and then the tea was served, and the fruit was taken by the fruit, and the well-behaved and obedient were real.

Mrs. Jiang pulled Xu Feng to sit down.

Jiang Mingzhu put the cut fruit in front of her, "Third aunt, you eat some fruit, it's sweet." You look so good in this dress today, you wear it so temperamentally, like a movie star. ”

Jiang Mingzhu's mouth should be sweet, and it is generally difficult for others to parry.

She sat back beside Xue Xingzhi after her mouth was sweet, and continued to hold his arm.

Xu Feng's eyes turned red again, and she stretched out her hand towards Jiang Mingzhu, "Mingzhu, come here, come and sit with the third aunt." ”

Jiang Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, and obediently let go of Xue Xingzhi's arm and walked over.

"Third aunt, what's wrong with you, who bullied you? You tell us, we'll help you get angry. ”

Xu Feng took her hand, said with red eyes, "It's better to be a daughter, my daughter is intimate, it's a little padded jacket." ”

Listening to this, it has something to do with Jiang Minglan.

Jiang Mingzhu hugged Xu Feng, "It's the same for the third aunt to treat me as a daughter, I will be good to the third aunt." ”

Mrs. Jiang saw that something was wrong with Xu Feng, and deliberately said lightly, "This is also a white-eyed wolf, don't be deceived by her." ”

Jiang Mingrui nodded, "Indeed." ”

Jiang Mingzhu protested, "What, if you say this again, I will go to be a daughter to the third aunt." ”

Xu Feng was amused by her, "Okay, the third aunt likes you to be my daughter." ”

Jiang Mingzhu said exaggeratedly, "Overnight, Brother Minglan's family property was divided into half. ”

Jiang Mingzhu didn't open which pot to mention, as soon as her voice fell, Xu Feng said, "He doesn't want to get a point!"

Jiang Mingzhu looked at Jiang Mingrui at a loss.

Jiang Mingrui gave her a well-deserved look and let her talk nonsense.

However, he still said to Xu Feng, "Third aunt, Minglan also has a reason, and after the New Year, he will come back after the matter is solved." ”

Xu Feng was so angry that he burst into tears, "Who is so important, even my parents don't want it." ”

Mrs. Jiang hurriedly said, "It's serious, didn't Mingrui say that he had something, Minglan has always been sensible, and he wouldn't be like this if it wasn't an important matter." "School bag

Xu Feng gritted his teeth, "He's sensible, is this something that a sensible person can do? ”

The elders pay attention to tradition, and it is really unreasonable to stay outside on such an important day.

But Jiang Minglan's side didn't solve it well, and Jiang Mingrui didn't say too much.

"Third aunt, you relax, Minglan is not a person who has no sense of proportion, maybe this matter is still a good thing, can't you believe Minglan or not?"

When Mrs. Jiang heard this, she looked at Jiang Mingrui and said, "Mingrui, do you know something? If you know something we don't know, you can talk to your third aunt, don't you see that your third aunt is crying urgently?"

He......

How can this matter be his, he may not be able to talk.

Xue Xingzhi said in a timely manner, "I heard that he seems to be chasing a girl, but it is estimated that he has no bottom in his heart, and it is difficult to say whether it will be successful or not, so he has not told his family." ”

Jiang Mingrui looked at him in surprise, he just sold Jiang Minglan like this?

Xue Xingzhi looked at him calmly, if you don't talk about this, Jiang Minglan's parents don't estimate that this year will be good.

As soon as she heard that Jiang Minglan was in love, Mrs. Jiang asked in surprise: "Really?"

Xue Xingzhi nodded, "Eight or nine is not far from ten." ”

Mrs. Jiang smiled and took Xu Feng's hand and said, "Look at you, it's too late to be happy about this." ”

Xu Feng was also a little shocked, but she still said, "What are you happy about, even if you are in love, you don't want your own parents for the sake of a woman, what do I have to be happy about?

Jiang Mingzhu lowered her head and touched her nose, she always felt that the person Xu Feng said didn't want her parents was Xue Xingzhi, and that woman like this was her.

Mrs. Jiang pointed at Jiang Mingrui, "Then I'll change it with you, this one is staying at home, the boss is not small, as soon as he says that he will talk about love, he will run, I am almost annoyed." ”

Xu Feng glanced at Jiang Mingrui and moved his lips, but he was no longer angry, as if he was comforted by Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Mingrui, who is a negative teaching material, feels that he is the one who should really leave home, anyway, he is annoying everywhere.

……

On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Xue Xingzhi returned to Xue's house in the morning, and Jiang Mingzhu sent people to the door, very reluctant.

"When are you coming back?"

Xue Xing knew: "Before dinner." ”

Xue Xingzhi's Chinese New Year's Eve lunch at home, after lunch, he can probably leave.

Jiang Mingzhu nodded, "Then we'll wait for you to have dinner." ”

Xue Xingzhi kissed her on the lips, "Go in." ”

Since the unhappy break up that day, Xue Xingzhi has not gone back.

Mrs. Xue was angry for two days, and then returned to normal.

Xue Rong has always been worried, afraid that Xue Xingzhi would never come back if he left before.

Seeing Xue Xingzhi coming back, he shouted in surprise, "Brother." ”

Xue Xingzhi nodded, saw him wearing an apron, and asked him, "What are you doing?"

Xue Rong said, "What about pasting Spring Festival couplets, it just so happens that you are back, help me paste them." ”

Mrs. Xue came out and saw the two brothers standing at the door and pasting the curtains, so she turned around and raised her eyebrows at Xue Li'an.

Xue Rong secretly glanced at Xue Xingzhi while sticking to the Spring Festival couplets.

Xue Xingzhi glanced at him, "Say whatever you want." ”

Xue Rong said, "Brother, I have seen Mingzhu's circle of friends, have you been with her for the past few days?"

Xue Xingzhi: "Yes." ”

Xue Rong: "Oh, you guys are reconciled, that's good." ”

Xue Xingzhi smiled, saw that he had pasted the Spring Festival couplets, and asked, "Is there anything else to do?"

Xue Rong shook his head, "No." ”

Mrs. Xue cooked a rich New Year's dinner, but the atmosphere at the table was not pleasant.

Xue Rong raised his wine glass and toasted Xue Li'an and Mrs. Xue first, and said some words to wish them good health.

After saluting again, he stood up and raised his wine glass to Xue Xing, "Big brother, I respect you." ”

Since he took over the Xue family, he has realized how difficult it is for Xue Xingzhi to know, and only then did he realize how naïve and ignorant he used to be.

This glass of wine should be toasted.

Xue Xingzhi took the juice on the side and poured himself a glass.

"I got your heart, I won't drink the wine, and I'll have to drive later. ”

Xue Rong was stunned, and wanted to ask him if he didn't live at home in Chinese New Year's Eve?

But after thinking about it, he still didn't ask, he vaguely felt that the previous thing had not passed, and he didn't dare to say more.

Xue Rong finished respecting Xue Xingzhi and drank with Xue Li'an again.

Today's New Year, Mrs. Xue didn't care about Xue Li'an.

She sandwiched a piece of ribs for Xue Xingzhi, and Xue Xingzhi knew: "Thank you, Mom." ”

He also picked up his cup, "Mom, I respect you and wish you a long and healthy life." ”

Mrs. Xue raised the cup and drank the juice in the cup in one go, her eyes flashed with wetness, although everyone avoided talking about the last time, but Mrs. Xue was still a little uneasy in her heart.

If Xue Rong loses her temper, she still has a way to deal with it.

But Xue Xingzhi has never let her mother worry about it since he was a child, and he won't talk to her if he has something on his mind.

Last time she was angry, she was a mother, he and Xue Rong were both born to her, but he didn't understand her, but came over to accuse her, so he was so angry that he didn't choose to speak.

She regretted it a little afterwards, but she thought about how the mother and son could have an overnight feud.

Seeing Xue Xingzhi today, she, like Xue Rong, felt that this matter had passed.

She moved her lips, "Xingzhi, Mom......"

Xue Xingzhi interrupted her, "Mom, let's be happy for the New Year today." ”

Mrs. Xue's words were swallowed back.

After the meal, Xue Xingzhi helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Xue Rong also rarely wanted to show off and pushed Mrs. Xue out of the kitchen.

"Mom, I'm here with my brother today, and you'll send me a big red envelope. ”

Mrs. Xue watched the two brothers standing in the kitchen, wiped her hands contentedly, and walked out of the kitchen.

Xue Rong and Xue Xingzhi were washing the dishes together, and Xue Rong asked Xue Xingzhi if he wanted to seal red envelopes for the children of those relatives in the family during the Chinese New Year this year.

In the past, he only took red envelopes, and he never gave them to others.

But it's different now, I'm also a president, and I'm still so picky, I can't say it.

Xue Xing knew: "This kind of thing, you can see what you want, you don't have to care about what others say." ”

Xue Rong nodded, "Then I'll give those good ones, and don't give the rest." ”

Xue Xingzhi's subordinates paused, "Since you want to give, you will give them all." ”

Xue Rong muttered, "Didn't you just say that you would give it according to my own heart?"

Xue Xingzhi closed his eyes, "Wouldn't it be great if a little money could solve the big trouble in the back?"

The red envelope is more or less small, just a heart.

But some people give, and some people don't, and this mind changes.

Usually it's okay, this is the New Year, Xue Rong is bent on blocking others, and there will be trouble in the future.

Xue Rong sighed, "Okay then." ”

Xue Rong said again, "Then I don't distribute this year's year-end bonus equally. ”

Xue Xingzhi said without changing his face: "As long as you don't assign it according to the degree to which you see it." ”

Xue Rong looked like he took it for granted, "I am." If you work hard, have excellent performance, and have fewer complaints, I will naturally see it more pleasing to the eye, and the year-end bonus will be a little more. ”

Xue Xingzhi took a deep breath, "This kind of thing will be handed over to the statistics department in the future, you don't have to do it yourself." ”

Xue Rong said, "You're right, it's quite tiring to do these jobs." ”

After the two washed the dishes, Xue Xingzhi went back to his room, and when he came out, he was ready to leave.

Xue Rong took two bites of an apple in his hand, "Big brother, don't you stay at night?"

Xue Xing knew, "No." ”

Mrs. Xue's face was not very good-looking, and she sat there silently.

Xue Li'an persuaded, "Stay at home today, you will be lonely when you go back alone." ”

Xue Xingzhi still said, "No, parents, Xue Rong, you pay attention to your body, I'll go first." ”

As soon as Xue Xingzhi left, Mrs. Xue dropped a cup.

Xue Li'an sighed, "What is this for the Chinese New Year." ”

Xue Li'an muttered while cleaning up the debris, "Broken peace, broken peace." ”

Xue Rong looked at the closed door, then at Mrs. Xue, walked over and sat down, pretending to be relaxed.

"Dad, do you know what programs are there for this year's Spring Festival Gala?"

Xue Li'an said, "It's all the original actors, isn't there a through train now, I'll start broadcasting it in the morning, you can see for yourself." ”

Xue Rong turned on the TV, and with the sound of the TV, it diluted the cold and screwed atmosphere at home.
