Weekend.

Si Qi politely declined Shi Jing's difficult politeness to drive over to pick her up, and took her son to take a taxi to Linshan Villa, originally she planned to go to the supermarket to buy some home-cooked food and bring it over, but Shi Jing mentioned in the text message that she had called the supermarket to send it over, so she only bought some fruit nutrition products to bring.

The first time she met each other's parents, she didn't want to lose any courtesy, even if they were just playing, it was their ultimate goal to deal with both parents, she had to make herself look in line with other people's expectations of her future daughter-in-law, which was the most basic professionalism of a partner, but fortunately it was not difficult for her.

The blue sky hides the distant mountains, the cascading green mountains are refreshing and secluded, the wide mountain roads are up and down, and the gorgeous villas are hidden in the dense forest.

"Tsk, every inch of land in Jincheng is expensive, and the housing prices in the suburbs have risen to more than 30,000, and the average price of villas here is probably 120,000 per square meter. The driver is a very talkative uncle, looking at the scattered villas around with envy, "If my son can buy a villa here and let me enjoy a few days of happiness, then I will be blind even if I die, eh, it's a pity that I haven't lived in a villa for the rest of my life, and I can only count on my son." ”

Si Qi was embarrassed to let him talk to himself alone, so he had to talk: "What kind of profession is your son engaged in?"

The uncle sighed again and said, "He drives a forklift in a logistics company, but he has recently been promoted, so he doesn't have to drive himself, he just needs to keep an eye on others." ”

Si Qi wanted to ask about the salary, but then he felt that this was someone else's privacy, and it was not good to ask directly, so he stopped talking for a while.

However, the driver's uncle didn't need her to ask at all, and he had already said it himself: "In the past, the salary was only five or six thousand, but after the promotion, it rose a little, plus the bonus subsidy of seven, seven, eighty, and eight, almost more than 10,000 a month." ”

The monthly salary is more than 10,000 yuan.

My parents are looking forward to buying a villa at an average price of more than 200,000 yuan per square meter.

Si Qi was silent and stopped talking.

It's a pity that the uncle is really a self-acquaintance, so he kept looking at her from the rearview mirror, and after a while, he asked again: "Miss, do you have a friend living here?"

Si Qi subconsciously brushed his hair and shook his head with a smile: "I'm just here to do something." ”

She is dressed very ordinarily today, although the whole body is proper and stable, but there is no brand body, it really doesn't look like a friend can live in a villa in the mountain, the uncle no longer looks at her, and still says with a smile:" To be able to live here is not rich or expensive, are some big people, like us ordinary people can only look up to envy, but unfortunately my son is not angry, and finally for him to go to college, a college student can only live in a logistics company, what is the use of having a son, it is better to have a daughter, so you can still count on marrying a rich man. ”

Si Qi smiled politely and turned his head sideways to sort out Si Xiaojun's clothes.

Today's Si Xiaojun is particularly well-behaved, holding a plush puppy and sitting quietly still.

"Is this your son?" The uncle didn't know if it was too boring, ignoring the wishes of the guests who didn't want to chat, and continued to talk nonsense: "It's really beautiful, five or six years old, children at this age are all like monkeys, it's rare to be so well-behaved like him." ”

The taxi turned left and right, and finally arrived at its destination under the chatter of the driver's uncle.

In the corner of the mountain villa area closest to the mountain forest, a black-roofed and black-walled European-style villa stands behind a row of huge French plane trees, surrounded by tall and towering trees, dense branches and leaves almost trap the villa in it, and only a faint silhouette can be seen from a distance, the yard in front of the villa is full of flowers and trees one person high, leaving only a lonely path, directly to the gate of the villa.

Si Qi held his son in his right hand and a gift in his left hand, and stepped forward to knock on the door.

The answer to the door was an old man of fifty or sixty years old, although he was full of white hair, but his figure was straight, his expression was very peaceful, he was very amiable, his peaceful eyes came out of his reading glasses, he was wise and warm, and when he saw her and the child he was holding in his hand, he smiled: "It's Xiao Si, right?"

This old man's facial features are very similar to Shi Jing's, and he should be Shi Jing's father, named Shi Junhan, who used to be a very famous architectural designer, but later retired bravely and chose to retire when his career was at its most brilliant.

Shi Jing only said that his mother would come, and did not mention that his father was also coming, which caught her a little off guard, because the gift was only suitable for middle-aged ladies to buy skin care products.

She bent over embarrassedly and politely: "Hello Uncle Shi, I'm Si Qi." ”

Xiaojun also bowed politely and said hello crisply: "Hello Grandpa Shi, I'm Xiaojun." ”

Shi Junhan had already seen Si Qi's photos, and had a good impression of this gentle and gentle female teacher, but now that he has seen a real person, he likes it more and more, so he hurriedly invited her in sideways, and said with a smile: "The road is very congested on the weekend, right?"

Si Qi hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "It's okay." ”

The three of them turned the hallway and entered the living room.

Although the exterior of this villa is a European-style villa, the interior decoration is in a black modern Chinese decoration style, which is simple and concise.

The ceiling adopts a simple and comfortable geometric shape, the rich black is extremely thick and gloomy, the black to the top of the huge bookcase, which is stuffed with books, black sofas and black wooden tabletops, the background wall of the TV is a huge overlook of the city, dense floors, staggered streets, endless driving rivers, tiny people like ants, showing gloomy and quiet.

The huge floor-to-ceiling windows are tightly hidden by a fishing picture of the cold river, and the curtains around it are tightly obscured, so that no sunlight penetrates, and the dark light in the middle of the roof is the only source of light.

Probably because he felt that the environment here was too weird, Shi Junhan hurriedly turned on all the lights, and the living room of Nuoda was illuminated in an instant.

"When I was old, was Si Qi here?" Meng Shiyun hurriedly came out of the kitchen, still holding a broccoli in his hand, seeing someone coming, he hurriedly put the dishes on the cabinet on the side, two or three steps to meet him, looked at Si Qi with a smile on his face, stepped forward, held Si Qi's hand, looked up and down seriously, and couldn't help but say: "It's good, it's good, it's so beautiful, it's really good, it's so good." ”

Meng Shiyun was a little excited, and there were tears in her eyes, which made Si Qi very embarrassed, and hurriedly said: "Hello, Auntie." ”

"Okay, don't scare the kids. Shi Junhan walked over, took the things that Si Qi was still holding in his hand and put them aside, reached out and touched Si Xiaojun's head, and liked this very well-behaved child very much.

Si Xiaojun raised his head with a very eye-catching look: "Grandma is good." ”

"Good, good, good..."Meng Shiyun took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Xiaojun, and said with a smile: "Grandma is seeing you for the first time, I don't know what you like, this red envelope is given to you, it is a little bit of grandma's heart, what do you like, let my mother buy it for you, okay?"

Si Xiaojun put his little hands behind his back and looked up at Mommy.

Si Qi nodded at him.

Si Xiaojun took the red envelope with a red face: "Thank you, grandma." ”

Meng Shiyun pulled Si Qi to sit on the sofa, held her hand, and then sat with Si Xiaojun in his arms, smiling and teasing the child.

Shi Junhan personally made tea and put it on the table, he took off his glasses, put them on an open book, and introduced with a smile: "I am Shi Jing's father, I used to do architectural design, Shi Jing's mother used to be a high school teacher, and now we are all idle at home, I heard that you and Shi Jing have established a relationship, so I rushed to Jincheng, I hope you will not think we are too eager and reckless." ”

Si Qi tried his best to hide his restraint and nervousness, and said with a calm smile: "Uncle is polite, I am not young with Shi Jing, it is normal for my parents to be anxious, I understand very well, we have been discussing to meet both parents, but I want to take a few interest classes during the summer vacation, Shi Jing doesn't want to delay my work, so it has dragged on until now, and I have bothered my uncle and aunt to come all the way to Jincheng." ”

When Meng Shiyun heard this, she couldn't close her smile, and nodded again and again: "Okay, good, great, you are still sensible, not like Shi Jing's stinky boy." Speaking of this, she paused, turned her head and asked, "Where is Shi Jing? His girlfriend is here, where is he hiding?"

Shi Junhan looked upstairs: "He said that there is a game software that needs to be corrected." ”

"Then there is no hurry, I'll go and call him down, what does this look like. Meng Shiyun scolded while cautiously looking at Si Qi, as if she was afraid that she would be angry because of this.

Seeing that she was about to get up, Si Qi hurriedly grabbed her, "Auntie, he's busy with business, don't disturb him, I see you're cooking, or I'll help you cook, and call him when it's time to eat!"

Of course, Meng Shiyun refused to let her go to the kitchen for the first time, and the two shirked it for a while, Si Qi finally managed to squeeze into the kitchen, and said that she wanted to be Meng Shiyun's deputy, and learn to cook by the way, in fact, she only took the opportunity to pick vegetable leaves, handed soy sauce and vinegar or something, and left Si Xiaojun to sit in the living room and chat with Shi Junhan.

Meng Shiyun is a very good talker, giving people a sense of the silence of spring rain, Si Qi was still a little nervous at first, and there was a sense of panic in every move, and he always felt that his acting skills were not enough to withstand this test, but after frying two dishes, the anxiety of being uneasy was suppressed by her, and she slowly recovered her lively and cheerful appearance after studying for many years, and Meng Shiyun, who was amused by questions and answers, laughed constantly.

The two of them had a feeling of having a good conversation, but Si Qi felt that Meng Shiyun's attitude was a little strange.

She has very little experience in seeing her future mother-in-law, but now the Internet is developed, all kinds of news are searched on the Internet, and there are often girls on the Internet who record their mother-in-law's experience and experience, she was bored a few days ago and looked at it carefully, the future daughter-in-law came to the door for the first time, and there are many examples of being regarded as a guest by her mother-in-law.

Chapter 7: A big fan of the black series

But there are also many people who are embarrassed by their mother-in-law, especially their own sons are outstanding, the other party is too ordinary and ordinary, and the disparity between the two sides is too big, and there are many examples of people laughing and angry.

Shi Jing's family background is more than how many grades higher than her, the three generations of her ancestors are intellectuals, and her family is well-off, even if it is Shi Jing herself, she is also an excellent young talent, on the contrary, her father is just a contractor in a small county, and her mother is an ordinary housewife, who has never worked in her life, and the only time she left her hometown was when she was sent to college.

And now she is just an ordinary kindergarten teacher, with a monthly salary of only more than 4,000 yuan, no car or house, and an illegitimate child.

originally thought that Shi Jing's parents would look at her differently even if they were forced by their son's illness, but it was by no means the current situation.

The dishes prepared in the kitchen are all listed in the information she provided to Shi Jing, that is to say, they are all her favorite dishes, fruits, drinks, and desserts after the meal are well matched, and they are not much worse than the high-end restaurants outside.

Meng Shiyun also specially cooked several nutritious meals suitable for children for Xiaojun, and the steamed pastries were carefully made into the shapes of various animals, and during the time when the two were chatting while cooking, Meng Shiyun seemed to not know how to treat her, and the kind of carefully held, for fear that she would be a little unhappy, made Si Qi feel that in Meng Shiyun's eyes, she was like a savior who fell from the sky.

If you want to make friends with people and make a good impression in the hearts of others, you must first be good at observing your face, know how to talk about topics that others are interested in, and praising a person's hobbies is the most gentle and pleasing way to show affection.

For this reason, Si Qi also specially asked Shi Jing about his childhood, in order to express his curiosity about Shi Jing's past, and by the way, he found a few advantages and praised them, but Meng Shiyun talked about interesting things about Shi Jing's age, those things from twenty or thirty years ago, she was like a treasure, and every little thing could be told eloquently, and when she said it, her expression was excited with a kind of inexplicable sadness, and her eyes were faintly red, but she didn't want her to see it.

Listening to her tone, Shi Jing should have been a very normal child when she was a child, and she was inexplicably a little curious, I don't know why Shi Jing, who was born with a prominent background, has loving parents, and has been known as a prodigy since he was a child, has this so-called social phobia?

However, seeing that Meng Shiyun did not mention the affairs of Shijing's junior high school and high school, the period of his illness should be these two periods.

Although Si Qi was strange in her heart, she didn't show it, seeing that Meng Shiyun had been looking at her openly and secretly, and she was quite worried, she smiled: "Actually, I think the current Shi Jing is also very good, quiet, at first glance, he is the kind of person who is very reliable, and he is willing to accept Xiaojun, I am very grateful to him, and I hope to spend the rest of my life with him hand in hand in this life." After a pause, she brushed her hair and pretended to be embarrassed and said, "He's just too thin, I've been practicing my cooking skills recently, and I want to make him fatter." ”

Meng Shiyun couldn't say anything at all when she was excited, she just kept nodding and nodding, and when the last soup was in the pot, she drove Si Qi out of the kitchen one after another, and asked her to go to the second floor to call Shi Jing down for dinner.

In the living room, Shi Junhan was playing chess with Si Xiaojun around the desk, this is what Xiaojun just learned recently, and he is very addicted to chess, and it just so happens that Shi Junhan usually loves chess, but he didn't expect that a six-year-old child could play chess in a good way, and he was also interested for a while, and he couldn't care about the excitement at the other end of the kitchen.

The black wooden staircase leads to the second floor, the upstairs is quiet, the corridor is deep and silent, only a shadow lamp on the top of the innermost wall, illuminating the entire second floor, gloomy and cold, quite like the café where they went on a blind date that night, Si Qi suddenly had a feeling that Shi Jing would choose that café, maybe because the environment was similar.

There were several rooms on both sides of the corridor, all of which were closed, Shi Jing's mother said that the innermost room was Shi Jing's, Si Qi hesitated, stepped forward and knocked on the door, the door was not locked, and there was a dim light inside.

She stood at the door and waited for two minutes, but no one opened the door, so she had to take out her mobile phone and send a text message to Shi Jing, but there was no reply either.

In desperation, she had to push the door in, probably has a certain understanding of the decoration style of the entire villa, looking at the dark style room in front of her, she didn't feel weird, she just felt that this room seemed to be too simple, a big bed, a desk at the head of the bed, a wooden chair, and the other three walls were all bookcases to the top, which were also stuffed with books, she looked up at the dense books, and couldn't help but be a little amazed.

How much this man loves to read, she wonders if she has entered the bookstore.

Probably the bookcase sealed the window, except for a lamp, no light came in, and it was very cold.

There is a small door against the wall, inside is a cloakroom, a half-open wardrobe door, all black shirts and black suits, neatly hung in a row, another cabinet is hung sweatshirts and casual clothes, the color is still monotonous black, a huge wardrobe, no half of the non-black clothes can be found at all, this person has made his preference for black to the extreme, calling him a dark messenger, it is not an exaggeration at all.

Si Qi raised her eyebrows, retreated, leaned on the bookcase and sent a text message to Shi Jing, and then boredly looked at the books in the bookcase on three sides, she didn't move, just went up to look at the spine, basically all the books she could see were turned over, many of the spine were obviously worn, and some of the corners of the books began to glow old and yellow, Shi Jing read a lot of books, military, history, novels, law and everything almost all read.

In the row of bookcases near the bed, there are all adventures, tomb robberies and supernatural novels, and there are two large rows of online novels such as "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", "Notes on Tomb Robbery", and "Tibetan Code", all of which have been turned over, but I didn't expect Shi Jing to like this kind of ghostly novels.

Unconsciously paced to the desk, Maupassant's "Life" was spread out on the table, and I had already seen the middle position, a black pen was sandwiched in the middle, and there were several original copies of "A Song of Ice and Fire" piled up on the corner of the table, and the cover was also creased, and I thought that I had also turned it many times.

There was a black notebook in the corner by the bed, a dry maple leaf sandwiched between the pages, Si Qi took a closer look, it seemed to be a gift from Xiaojun and Yuan Yuan to Shi Jing when he came back from the last trip to Fengtai Mountain, the maple leaf that the two little guys picked up with their own hands, but he didn't expect him to keep it.

At that moment, she didn't suppress her curiosity, and gently leaned over and opened the notebook, wanting to pull out the maple leaf to see if it was the maple leaf they picked up from Fengtai Mountain.

It is said that this maple leaf is recognized by Xiaojun and Yuan Yuan as the best-looking one, and the appearance looks like a heart.

Si Qi looked left and right, and finally determined that this was the maple leaf they picked up in Fengtai Mountain, but she didn't expect Shi Jing to keep it carefully, which made her heart move slightly, looking at the alienated and distant people, there was still a young man's heart, she pursed her lips, and put the maple leaf back as it was, but when she lowered her eyes, she saw the words on the page, a very vigorous and powerful pen word, and the ink penetrated the page.

"He rested in peace

Despite the ill-fated circumstances

He still lives in secret

He lost his angel and he died

Things happen naturally

It's like night falling, and the sun is falling

......”

These sentences are from the French writer Hugo's "Les Miserables", when Si Qi was in college, the movie of the same name adapted from this novel happened to be released in China, she watched it several times in a row, and later went to read the original book, and she was quite impressed by these sentences.

Unexpectedly, Shi Jing was reading this novel, and even picked out these few sentences and wrote them in his notebook.

didn't have time to think about it, the mobile phone that was on the side lit up, Si Qi was startled, and there was a sense of embarrassment that she was caught doing something bad, she hurriedly clipped the maple leaf back to the page of the book as it was, and retreated to the door with the mobile phone, only to open the phone in shock, and there was only one sentence on it: "Wait a minute, come back immediately." ”

Si Qi hurriedly replied with a good word, then opened the door and stood at the door.

Shi Jing said that it was immediately, and sure enough, it was immediately, in less than five seconds, he appeared at the staircase, wearing a black long-sleeved sweatshirt, and walked towards her unhurriedly, the corridor was dark and gloomy, and his face was extremely pale, perhaps because of the loose sweatshirt, he didn't look as thin as last time.

"I'm sorry, Auntie asked me to come up and call you for dinner, she said your room is in the innermost part of the corridor, I knocked on the door and found that the door was not closed, and no one responded, and the text message was not answered, so I took the liberty to go in. Seeing Shi Jing push open the door, Si Qi paused at the door, he should have found that someone had entered the room, and he was busy explaining with a red face, and he couldn't wait to scratch his own paws.

Shi Jing was silent for two seconds, glanced sideways at her, walked straight in, and took out a beautifully packaged small box from the cabinet under the desk and handed it over.

Siqi: "What is this?"

Mo Wenlan said that the courtesy was still exchanged. Shi Jing stuffed the box to him, and responded in a low voice, his voice low and hoarse.

Si Qi was stunned, and the courtesies were still exchanged?

He was referring to the maple leaf that Xiaojun gave him last time?

She wanted to laugh a little, and couldn't help but say: "It's just maple leaves, Fengtai Mountain is all over the mountains." The gift box he gave turned out to be a lipstick set, and the brand is a series of English names, which is a little unfamiliar to her, but looking at the packaging, the value should be expensive.

He sent lipstick!

Seeing him bow his head and frown, his face was full of seriousness, it was really difficult for him.

Si Qi had no choice but to accept it generously, turned around and walked out: "Then let's go down and eat!"

Shi Jing looked at her pretending to be steady, the corners of her mouth raised inexplicably, she pulled back the door and followed silently.
