Chapter 91, slowly brewing
The ocarina's somewhat pink lips fluttered by the morning breeze are like cherry blossoms in early spring, which will open the lip flap slightly. For a while, I couldn't come back to my senses.
The uncle standing in front of her was none other than her father-in-law Ji Xianghong, her husband's father.
Oh, my God!
How stupid is she to dig such a big sinkhole for herself?
She treats her father-in-law as a poor old man scavenging, and now her father-in-law must hate her even more, right?
She took a deep breath, tried to put away the shock and a little embarrassment on her little face, and exclaimed, "Why are you here?"
Ji Xianghong's eyes looking at the ocarina were also a little complicated, her little face showed a faint pink under the golden sunlight, and her eyes were clear and innocent. When Ocarina first saw him as an old scavenger, he was disdainful, and he thought the girl was a little stupid.
But when he heard her anxious voice and distressed appearance, there was a trace of uncontrollable emotion spreading in his heart.
Her heart seemed to be built up by countless bricks, and her kindness was like one of the bricks being pulled away. Some of the hard castles he had built were about to collapse.
Her eyes were bright, reflecting the ripples of the sun, and the bottom of her eyes was clear.
The sun rose overhead, and the golden light crumpled into patches of pink, enveloping her thin figure and warming her delicate features.
Ocarina is not stupid, and after reacting, it immediately turned on the self-help mode. Obviously, her father-in-law is not an ordinary person, so naturally it is impossible to come out in the morning to pick up waste. Looking at the dirty hands he pulled, something must have been thrown in the trash. After her mood was almost adjusted, she smiled and asked softly, "Are you looking for something? Can you tell me what you are looking for? I'll help you find it together. ”
In front of her elders, she is always vigilant about her attitude. Not presumptuous, not humble, only gentle and quiet.
Ji Xianghong's heart once again seemed to be lightly knocked by something, his heart shook, and he was in a trance. I suddenly went back to that morning many years ago......
That morning, she greeted him with a smile in the morning light. Her voice is not loud, gentle like the spring water of the south of the Yangtze River. The quiet smile on her cheeks was like spring water gently rippling, and willow leaves were falling on the water, swaying leisurely.
It was such a smile that warmed his eyes and left a mark in his heart......
Seeing that her father-in-law seemed to be distracted, Ocarina stepped forward lightly again, still laughing, "I guess that what is usually thrown into the trash can should be a ring? or a wrench or something, right?"
Ji Xianghong looked at her and his eyes were a little more complicated, his lips moved, and his back straightened, but he still didn't speak.
Ocarina analyzed actively, "I guess you should be wearing a wrench at your age? ”
In fact, the garbage in the trash can is really dirty, but this ocarina is as strong as being beaten with chicken blood, and the two eyes are also shining, searching everywhere for things like wrenches.
Soon her hands were also dirty and sour. She didn't mind at all, and the smile on her lips kept going up. Not only is it not disgusting, but it is a little willing.
Yes, now even if she is asked to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire, she will be willing. can only increase her score in front of her father-in-law, and she doesn't mind picking up the garbage at all.
Who let her father-in-law be the uncle's father, she cares about the uncle and his family.
She had rummaged through almost all the rubbish and couldn't find anything like a wrench. She turned her eyes to look at Ji Xianghong and said softly, "Don't worry, it may be that I didn't look carefully, I'll look for it again." ”
She lowered her head and looked more closely through the garbage heap she had just turned over.
The moment Ji Xianghong turned around, his face was as majestic as the top of the Arctic Mountain, green without a little hope of life. He didn't like the ocarina, not at all. But looking at her busy figure, looking at the sincerity and eagerness in her eyes, looking at her smile, his emotions were a little uncontrollable.
"Found it!" After looking for it tirelessly and rummaging through it a few times, the ocarina suddenly screamed excitedly.
I saw an emerald green wrench lying in her palm, which was carefully displayed in front of Ji Xianghong, a little excited, "Do you see if it's this wrench?"
Ji Xianghong looked at his familiar wrench, his majestic posture was a little lax, but he still pursed his lips and took the wrench without saying a word.
Ocarina doesn't mind his attitude, she believes that any friendship is mutual. Whether it is between families, friendships, or even love, the friendship is mutual. She treats her father-in-law with a friendly attitude, and after a long time, her father-in-law will not remain unchanged as long as he is not hard-hearted.
She smiled again, smiling in the sun, "The wrench fell into the disposable plastic cup, so it was difficult to find it." But it's okay, I'm glad I found it. ”
Ji Xianghong frowned, his eyes narrowed slightly, covering the complexity in his eyes.
Ocarina looked at him sincerely and friendly, and she saw that the sun was already about to show off her might in the sky above Dongcheng, and sprinkled it wildly, sprinkling her father-in-law's body. My father-in-law is very well maintained, and the traces left by the years on his body are well hidden. His facial features are still three-dimensional and full, but compared to Ji Yao. The former is more majestic, the kind that is not angry and self-authoritative. The latter is relatively indifferent and rejects people thousands of miles away.
There are also similarities between the two fathers and sons, such as momentum. The same intimidating......
Of course, this momentum is relative to others. In her eyes, her father-in-law is more imposing. She was already immune to her husband, and she was not afraid of it for a long time.
She was actually quite happy to meet her father-in-law here. This is probably the so-called fate.
Her smile is always bright and fresh, which makes Ji Xianghong a little unbearable to ignore it.
"Are you also jogging in the morning? I also come out for a morning jog, so that I can exercise my little physique. Shall I go for another lap with you?" Ocarina is like a well-behaved daughter who is making her dear father happy after doing something wrong.
It's a pity that this trick didn't work for Ji Xianghong.
Ocarina is not discouraged, she understands the truth that if you want to hurry, you can't reach it. She shook her little body slightly, "That...... I'm just going to talk about it. We're all dirty, so let's wash our hands first. ”
There was no faucet nearby, her smart eyes blinked, and her butterfly-shaped eyelashes fluttered, "I moved here with Ji Yao, not far from here, would you like to go to our house to wash your hands?"
Ji Xianghong's eyes trembled slightly, and he subconsciously wanted to move his feet, but he paused again. There was a voice in his heart that kept reminding him that he couldn't be infected by her smile and couldn't accept her. Reason is intertwined with impulse, and every wisp of it is tangled in his heart.
At this time, Ocarina's mobile phone rang, and she pinched her fingers and took out the mobile phone from her sweatpants to see that it was Ji Yao calling.
She glanced at her father-in-law quietly, hesitated for a few seconds and connected, "Hey." ”
Ji Yao's voice was very magnetic, revealing a rare trace of gentleness, "Come back." ”
Ocarina whispered, "Okay, I'll go back later." ”
"Come back and have breakfast with me. Ji Yao urged again.
The volume of Ocarina's mobile phone was set to the maximum, so Ji Yao's words Ji Xianghong also heard it. He was slightly stunned, he could hear the temperature in his son's voice, as if there was still a faint trace of concern. This discovery made him incredible.
In his impression, his Ji Yao is always an indifferent picture that doesn't need anyone to approach. Even Ji Jie, who was closest to him, had never received such active attention from him.
After the ocarina hung up the phone, Chong Ji raised a pure smile to Hong, "You can go back with me, can you just have breakfast together?"
Her quiet and well-behaved appearance, as well as her sincere eyes, made Ji Xianghong unable to control himself for a moment, so he stepped forward like this.
Ocarina was happy and hurriedly led the way.
Back at the villa, Ji Yao was reading the newspaper on the sofa, and the maid had already prepared breakfast and put it on the dining table.
Hearing the footsteps, the newspaper in Ji Yao's hand was put down slightly, and after seeing the pink sportswear of the ocarina, a ripple jumped in his glass-like eyes. When she went to greet him this morning, he was too busy with work to see her.
When I looked at it, I realized that she was really beautiful today, the kind of fresh and refined beauty. Her hair was simply tied in a ponytail, her palm-sized cheeks were even fairer and more translucent, and a pair of pearl-like eyes were embedded in her cheeks, sparkling and smart. Sportswear is inherently youthful and full of vitality.
It is as bright as the brightest star in the canopy, bright and charming.
If she is the most beautiful scenery, then the figure behind her is a dark cloud.
After seeing Ji Xianghong, Ji Yao's face turned cold.
Ocarina hurriedly played the round, "We met by chance while running, and there was a little accident, and our hands were dirty. Would like to borrow our bathroom. ”
Ji Yao's resistance and rejection of this father did not happen overnight, so he refused indifferently, "No!"
Ocarina pouted slightly and stepped forward, "Husband, you can't do this." He's your father!"
Ji Yao frowned, God carved a resolute outline for him to look even more cold and hard, and the corners of his lips tightened, "If you say no, you can't do it!"
Ji Xianghong frowned awkwardly and met his cold eyes. The silent confrontation was full of tension.
It seems that this has always been the case between father and son.
Every time Ji Xianghong wanted to get closer, Ji Yao would push away from afar. Ji Yao's resistance will poke at Ji Xianghong's majesty, and then it will be an embarrassing and stiff state.
Like, at this moment!
Ocarina felt a chill in the air, and a bone-chilling snow wind blew all around it.
She hurriedly stepped forward, gently pulled his sleeve with his own little dirty hand, pulled him aside, and begged him softly, "Husband, don't be like this, okay? No matter what, he is your father, I really don't want your relationship to be so stiff." I hope we can get along as a family, okay?"
Ji Yao indifferently withdrew his sleeve and glanced at her lightly, "No!"
Ocarina's little face wrinkled into a small bun, and he shook his arm again, "Husband, can I beg you, okay? Don't resist your father so much, maybe your father will be happy." As soon as he was happy, maybe he wouldn't be so resistant to me. You see, it's the best of both worlds with a capital letter. ”
Ji Yao's long eyelashes trembled, but his face was still tense.
Ocarina continued to ask softly, "Husband, don't you want your father to accept me? Be nice to me? Can't you make a little change for me? Please, okay?"
She stood on tiptoe again, kissed him on the cheek, and smiled innocently at him.
Ji Yao glanced at her, twisted his eyebrows and returned to the sofa to sit down.
Ocarina knew that the uncle had taken a step back, and hurriedly smiled at Ji Xianghong happily, "The bathroom is here, you come with me." ”
The rise and fall of Ji Xianghong's chest was a little abnormal, but he didn't say anything, just looked at the ocarina's eyes with some deeper meaning. Turn around and follow her to the bathroom.
After washing his hands, Ocarina took the initiative to beckon him to sit down and eat breakfast together.
Ji Yao sat down at the dining table, his face as resolute as just now.
Ji Xianghong glanced at him, and finally sighed helplessly. Putting down his father's dignity, he cherishes the opportunity to have breakfast with his son.
It was the first time the three of them had sat down to have breakfast together, and the atmosphere was undoubtedly awkward.
Although the ocarina tried its best to ease the gap in the middle, the gap between them was really deep. So it didn't have much effect, but she was already very happy that the uncle could take a step back.
Freezing three feet is not a day's cold, and this barrier has to be slowly unraveled.
In the morning, Ocarina was drinking milk and accidentally got the liquid on her lips.
She didn't notice that the man next to her had habitually picked up a tissue to wipe it for her.
When Ji Xianghong saw his son's action, he was shocked again. He has a keen sense of insight and observation, and he has observed this movement of his son. It's not very gentle, but it's definitely warm. It was a gesture of concern, and before that he had almost forgotten his son's ability to care about others.
Before that, he felt that his son was surrounded by icebergs. Whenever he wanted to get closer and melt him a little, he reflexively constructed a harder layer of ice for himself. He closed himself off, did not approach others, and did not allow others to come near him.
Ji Yao, who was covered in ice like that, once made him annoyed and even disheartened.
But now the obvious changes in Ji Yao's body surprised him, and he was faintly excited in surprise.
In front of Ji Xianghong, the ocarina was wiped so intimately by the uncle, a little shy, and smiled at him. In the bright eyes, there is a full of fascination.
The fortitude on Ji Yao's face couldn't help but soften a little freely, and he lowered his head and continued to eat.
Ji Xianghong's mood was extremely complicated throughout the breakfast process.
But the hidden love in the eyes that occasionally looked at Ji Yao was unchanging, and he couldn't remember how many years he hadn't had breakfast with his son.
After eating, he hesitated for a few seconds, but still said majestically, "Xiao Yao, I will hold a banquet at home for my birthday next week, and you will come back together." ”
He is used to being the only one, even if he longs for his son's consent in his eyes, he still can't pull his face down.
After Ji Yao finished breakfast, he elegantly wiped the corner of his lower lip, didn't look at him, and said indifferently, "I'm not available!"
The ocarina winked at him, and he should not see it.
After saying that, he turned back to the couch.
Ji Xianghong was rejected so completely, his embarrassed face sank a little, and finally left with a flick of his sleeves.
Ocarina wanted to catch up and explain a few sentences, but was stopped by Ji Yao, "Don't go!!"
She knew that her father-in-law was also a stubborn person, and it was useless for her to explain, so she had to appease one first. She walked to the sofa and sat directly on his lap, and then said softly while helping him arrange his tie, "Husband, your father was very injured when he left just now." In fact, how can anyone not make mistakes? If you make mistakes, you won't have a second chance, isn't that too impersonal?"
Ji Yao frowned in displeasure, "Ocarina! Enough!!"
Ocarina also knows how to stop in moderation, this matter is not urgent, it has to be brewed slowly. So, she hurriedly hooked his neck obediently and lay in his arms, "Okay, okay, I won't say it." It's me who is not good, it's that I don't understand your mood, and I'm talking nonsense! You have a lot of adults, don't worry about me, a little woman. ”
Ji Yao sighed.
When Ji Xianghong walked out of the villa, he couldn't help but look back. The warm and natural picture in the sofa in the hall instantly poked the deepest and deepest memory in his heart.
Many years ago, there was also a gentle and quiet woman who seemed to come out of the picture scroll. Sitting on his lap obediently, helping him straighten his tie, smiling and chatting with him. At that time, they were happy with each other, interdependent, and complemented each other.
So far, he feels that it is the best state of love.
Because it's so beautiful, it hurts.
It hurts so much that you can't touch it.
When I touched that memory, it hurt all kinds of times.
He can only hide......
The eyes of the ocarina always reminded him of the quiet woman in his memory. So, he hated her a lot. However, he found that sometimes reason could become powerless. Obviously he wanted to hate the ocarina, but in the face of her smile and kindness, he couldn't hate it.
Even, when the girl smiled and flattered him, there was an irrepressible warmth rising in his heart.
Walking out of the villa, he felt that something was getting more and more wrong!
Su Hong runs with Ji Xianghong every morning, she is more than ten years younger than him, and she actually likes to sleep lazy. But because Ji Xianghong likes sports, especially in recent years, she pays special attention to health, so she can only smile and get up from the warm quilt to run with him.
Her physical strength can't keep up with Ji Xianghong, so she often runs and has to sit on the side of the road to rest for a while.
Just now, she was tired and resting on the side of the road, but when she caught up again, she didn't find Ji Xianghong. She was still a little puzzled, she would see him coming out of the villa, and she was a little puzzled, "Husband, are you going to visit the door?"
Ji Xianghong's expression was a little complicated, "Xiao Yao, they moved over." ”
Su Hong's face was puzzled, and a haze flashed in his eyes, but he smiled and said, "Really? Great!!"
Ji Xianghong glared at her, "You don't know what kind of character he has?"
Su Hong sighed sullenly, "Alas, Xiao Yao's personality is afraid that it is difficult to change. ”
When Ji Xianghong heard this, he suddenly said meaningfully, "Not really." ”
Su Hong was surprised, "Do you mean Xiao Yao is willing to accept you?"
Ji Xianghong glanced at her again, "No, today I found that he has changed a little." Especially when faced with that ocarina, he changed. ”
Su Hong had a bad premonition when she heard it, and blurted out, "Are you dazzled?"
Ji Xianghong looked sideways, and she hurriedly apologized, "I'm sorry, I'm a little excited." I mean, Ocarina girl is going to have that much charm?"
"......," he sighed.
After trotting for a while, Ji Xianghong suddenly said, "You said that if I really give in and no longer object, will Xiao Yao really be happy? Will he also change his opinion of me? Maybe what Xiao Jie said is right, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and I shouldn't interfere too much." It's not bad to let it be, Xiao Yao is very capable and excellent. I should also let go, as long as he is happy, what does it matter who he marries?"
Su Hong's heart was on fire, "But Xiao Yao has a marriage contract!"
Ji Xianghong frowned, "Isn't Xiaoya missing?"
"Xiao Yao and Xiao Ya have feelings!" Su Hong said again.
Ji Xianghong sighed a little impetuously, as if he said sentimentally, "There are some things that I really can't do anymore, and I can't think about it so much." If Xiao Yao really feels happy with Ocarina, I don't want to object anymore. I'm old, and I'm old enough to tease my grandson. I really want to hand over the company to him and live my life comfortably. ”
Su Hong chuckled in her heart, the flame in her heart had burned to her throat, and she was burning in pain, indicating that she still had to be stable, "Yes, Xiao Yao is much better than our Xiao Cheng." The company can rest assured that he will take care of it, and when the time comes, you and I will live in seclusion to the countryside for a leisurely time, and occasionally we can go around the world. ”
Ji Xianghong was silent, his eyes were still complicated.
Su Hong couldn't sleep at night when she lay in bed, and the old man's words kept hovering in her head during the day. The fire in her heart is still burning, for so many years, she has been serving Ji Xianghong with all her heart, pleasing him everywhere and making him happy. It's not for the family business in his hands!
But this old thing is good, it is still a layer of eccentricity and cold-blooded monster for so many years. has already calculated what the company will give to that monster, and the property allocated to Ji Cheng is simply very little. How can she be willing to grovel for so many years of forbearance?
Before, she thought that the monster would make the old thing unhappy if he got married inexplicably, and she could fan the flames by knocking on the side to make the relationship between the old thing and the monster worse. The old thing is getting older, and it's easy to fool around. But how did she know that the discovery of things was completely out of control?
The old thing was thinking about delegating power before he was very old, and now it doesn't seem to hate that ocarina very much. Listening to the tone of the old thing, not only is it not annoying, but it seems that it has changed a little bit about her.
No way!!
This ocarina is such a bomb!!
She can't easily melt the gap between the old thing and the monster with this ocarina, and then she and Ji Cheng will really be miserable.
She had to do something......
————
On the weekend, Ji Yao went to the company to work overtime.
Ocarina makes soup at home and prepares to go to the class later.
The doorbell rang at the villa, and the maid came in to report that Madame had arrived.
The ocarina was gently stirring the soup, and he didn't react for a while, "Madam?"
The maid was a little nervous, "Mrs. Ji, the young master's little mother." ”
