Chapter 70: New Year's Gifts.

Ding Ning thought about it for a while, and finally told the truth, "I know them, and my father and I went back to the village this time to repair the ancestral hall of Uncle Xia's family." ”

When this Shumin sister heard that Ding Ning knew her, she hurriedly inquired, "How do the two sons of Uncle Xia's family look?"

"It's pretty good. ”

"It should look good. Sister Shumin tilted her head, looking innocent as the heroine of a Korean drama, she said, "My mother said that Uncle Xia is the most handsome man in our Xia Ding Village, and his son will definitely not be bad." ”

Hehe!

Shumin asked again, "Then let me ask you again, do the two sons of Uncle Xia's family have girlfriends?"

Ding Ning shook his head.

"No!" Shumin was excited.

Ding Ning immediately extinguished her excitement, "I shook my head not to mean no, but to mean that I didn't know." ”

"Why don't you know, your father is not Uncle Xia's best friend, and he usually doesn't say anything about the two brothers of the Xia family. ”

"My dad just came back from abroad. Ding Ning decided to tell the hunter everything he knew.

"I only heard Xia Qimo's mother say that Xia Qimo, Xia Qimo is the eldest son of Uncle Xia's family, and he has a future wife who is rich in the family and is from the imperial capital. ”

Ding Ning emphasized her future wife, she hoped that Shumin would understand that her future wife was not the same as a girlfriend or a fiancΓ©e.

Of course, what the specific situation is, Ding Ning doesn't know, around the Spring Festival is the peak period of blind dates, maybe Xia Qimo has already known Bai Fumei, and it is not necessary to have a good impression of each other.

"As for Xia Qihao, that is, Uncle Xia's second son, I met him once, I really don't know if he has a girlfriend, but he doesn't look like he lacks a girlfriend. ”

"Really, that's supposed to be a very playful little brother. Sookmin said and held her large size with her hand.

Ding Ning wondered if this person named Shumin had misunderstood and could play with this word, it should be an adjective, how did she feel that she was talking about a verb.

This sister of my cousin's family is really interesting.

"By the way, how old are the two little brothers?" asked Shumin again.

Ding Ning was also interested in Shumin's age, so she also asked, "Minmin, how old are you?" ”

"I'm twenty-five. "Shumin said quite proudly.

Ding Ning smiled and told her the ages of Xia Qimo and Xia Qihao.

"And what zodiac sign are they?" asked Shumin again.

"Sister, I really don't know them well. "I don't know.

Shumin was upset again, "Oh, I told you not to call me sister." After speaking, she asked Ding Ning, "How old are you?"

"I'm almost twenty. ”

"Oh. Then he stopped talking.

My cousin's hot spring hotel provides three meals a day, and when Ding Ning went to the restaurant for dinner, he realized that dinner here was like a family banquet, and everyone sat around to eat.

And the chef is the cousin's wife, and Ding Ning calls her the eldest cousin.

The eldest cousin's skills are good, and the stewed bacon is even more delicious, Ding Ning ate two large bowls of rice in a row, and Shumin on the side was shocked.

If it weren't for the conditions of Ding Ning's family, everyone in Xia Ding Village would know that Shumin would have thought that she had been released from the starvation prison.

The third uncle was very happy to see Ding Ning being able to eat so much, and praised again and again, "I'm still not a picky eater like when I was a child, but I'm getting thinner and thinner, is it a lot of pressure to study?"

Ding Wensheng replied with a smile, "It may be that the body is growing at a young age, so it doesn't grow meat just by eating." ”

Hearing this, Shumin straightened her chest.

Ding Ning glanced at her and stopped eating.

Eat again, this Shumin sister may have to say what is the use of eating so much, you have to grow some meat.

Ding Ning himself felt that he was a bit of a waste of food.

The nightlife in the countryside is naturally to play cards to kill time, and after Ding Ning's father was invited away, Ding Ning could only play games in the room alone to mix time.

After Shumin inquired with Ding Ning about the news of the second son of the Xia family, she no longer talked to Ding Ning, but lay alone in the bed and spoke to others.

From eight o'clock in the evening to Ding Ning's sleep, Shumin has changed seven or eight people to chat, all of whom are boys without exception.

What is always what Brother Huang is, what Brother Qiming.

The content of the chat was not listened to because Ding Ning focused on playing games, but the frequency of the word hating was a bit high.

Ding Ning is still chatting when he thinks about it so much, what a lot of love this is!

Also, why doesn't this sister type when chatting with people, doesn't she know that there is an idler next to her?

Fortunately, the room was very warm, and Ding Ning slept well this night.

The next day, Ding Ning was woken up by a knock on the door, and she got up to find out that Shumin, who was sleeping next to her, had gotten up.

She went to open the door, it was her father Ding Wensheng.

"I'm still sleeping, Uncle Xia, they're here, and the car will be at the head of the village soon. ”

"You're going to meet them at the head of the village?"

"Of course, the first time you meet Uncle Xia, you naturally want to go. ”

Ding Ning scratched the head of the chicken nest and went to the bathroom reflexively.

As soon as he entered the bathroom, Ding Ning was stunned by the strong smell of perfume inside, oh my God, did anyone knock over the perfume?

She took a closer look, not only did someone seem to have knocked over the perfume in the bathroom, but it also seemed to have been ransacked, one on the bath towel washbasin, one on the toilet, and one on the ground.

"Oh my God, what's so urgent about this Shumin?" Ding Ning bent down to pick up the towel on the ground, then pushed the cosmetics aside, and began to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Ten minutes later, she arrived at the head of the village wrapped in a down jacket.

At the head of the village, there were already two people standing, one was Ding Ning's father Ding Wensheng, and the other was Shumin.

At this time, Shumin changed into a snow-white plush coat with a snow-white collar and cuffs, and her leggings were still on her legs, which looked like a snow fox with half a leg sunk in the mud from a distance.

Why is she there?

Ding Ning was very puzzled, Uncle Xia's family had nothing to do with her when they returned to the village, her mother was just her cousin and not from the village, so she came here early in the morning to pick up the car, isn't this anti-guest-oriented?

After thinking about it, she was relieved again.

She came for the second son of the Xia family.

Then let her be, anyway, she Ding Ning came to the village to greet Uncle Xia, and it has nothing to do with the second son of the Xia family.

Ding Ning walked slowly to his father's side, and as soon as he stood still, he saw a car coming in the distance.

After a while, the car drove up to him, and a middle-aged man with a lofty spirit got out of the co-pilot.

Ding Ning thought that this person might be Uncle Xia.

"Lao Xia!" Ding Wensheng stepped forward and hugged the middle-aged man, and the two looked at each other happily.

"I haven't seen you for many years, but the old guy is still the same!"

"You're the same, you're still so strong!"

The hustle and bustle of the two of them is much more enthusiastic than Ding Ning's mother and Xia Qimo's mother.

It seems that the relationship is really good.

"Is this your baby?" Xia Runian looked at Ding Ning, his eyes full of love.

Ding Ning stepped forward with a smile and shouted Uncle Xia.

"Then who is this?" Xia Runian also saw Shumin.

Ding Wensheng hurriedly introduced, "This is my cousin's daughter, He Shumin." ”

"Cui's daughter!"

"Yes, yes, yes. ”

It seems that Uncle Xia knows the mother of this Shumin sister. Ding Ning thought about it, it was not surprising that he knew him, Uncle Xia had a good relationship with his father, and he naturally knew his relatives.

While talking, a person came down from the back row, naturally Xia Qimo and Xia Qihao.

As soon as Xia Qimo got out of the car, He Shumin's eyes straightened, and he was about to run over, Xia Qimo walked in front of Ding Ning's father first, and he politely called Uncle Ding.

"This is Qimo, right?" Ding Wensheng looked Xia Qimo up and down, "Oh, I haven't seen you for twenty years, I didn't expect to be so high-spirited, I don't dare to recognize this walking on the street." ”

Xia Qihao also came over and shouted Uncle Ding.

"Qihao!" Ding Ning's father was very happy, and he touched Xia Qihao's head in the past.

"Let's go for a walk, it's cold outside, let's go to the hotel. Ding Wensheng greeted everyone and reached out to help Xia Runian screw the luggage.

He Shumin saw the opportunity and immediately ran to Xia Qimo's side to help him get it.

"No, thank you. Xia Qimo politely refused.

Then he pushed the suitcase to Ding Ning, he bent down to look at Ding Ning's face, and then asked, "Didn't wake up?"

Ding Ning rubbed his nose and didn't say anything.

Before she came, her mother had a deep talk with her, saying that she should stay cold when she returned to Xia Ding Village this time, don't be too enthusiastic with Xia Qimo and Xia Qihao, and don't fight with Xia Qimo and Xia Qihao, otherwise those gossip women in the village will tell Yu Shiqin about this, and Yu Shiqin will think that their trip to Xia Ding Village this time is to get close to her two sons.

"Originally, we were going to help, but in the end, we were told behind our backs that we wanted to marry a wealthy family and climb high branches, isn't that a loss?"

Ding Ning felt that she should follow her mother's teachings in this matter, and of course, some of her felt that there was no need to be very familiar with Xia Qimo.

It's all blacked out, and it's still ripe!

Ding Ning didn't want to talk, but He Shumin thought, she walked up to Xia Qimo again, and called Brother Xia sweetly, "Brother Xia, I'll help you get it, you must be tired from coming so far." ”

"I said no, thank you!" Xia Qimo didn't mean to let go of the suitcase, his eyes were still staring at Ding Ning.

At this time, Xia Qihao behind him began to shout, "Sister with a white fur collar in front, help me get something." ”

"Okay!" He Shumin turned around and ran towards Xia Qihao, this time she didn't correct Xia Qihao not to call her sister.

"Let's go!" Xia Qimo carried a handbag that he put on top of the suitcase to Ding Ning and asked her to help him carry it.

Ding Ning, forget about "......", there is still a difference between being cold and being unkind.

She picked it up for him, threw it on her shoulders and walked back.

When the group arrived at the hotel, the boss's cousin naturally greeted him at the gate, he took the luggage from Ding Wensheng's hand, and then instructed Ding Ning to take the second son of the Xia family to the room.

Cousin sent work, Ding Ning couldn't help but obey, she still hooked Xia Qimo's handbag on her back with one hand, and let the second son of the Xia family follow while walking forward.

Help them open the door, Ding Ning stood at the door and began to introduce, "There are slippers at the door, there are mattresses and quilts in the second wardrobe when you go in, and you can eat in the restaurant." ”

After speaking, she took down the handbag and handed it to Xia Qimo.

Xia Qimo didn't answer, but changed his shoes and entered the room.

Then, Xia Qihao entered the room. He Shumin was also ready to enter the room with a high concentration of perfume.

Ding Ning grabbed her, "You haven't taken off your shoes yet." ”

"Oh, really, I forgot. ”

As she spoke, she prepared to take off her shoes.

"Thank you for your hard work. Xia Qimo turned around and said, this sentence obviously meant to send off guests.

He Shumin's hand of taking off her shoes stopped, and she hurriedly responded with a smile, "It's not hard, then Brother Xia should rest first." ”

She said and withdrew.

Ding Ning handed over Xia Qimo's handbag again.

"It's your stuff. He said.

"Mine?" Ding Ning took his hand back and looked at Xia Qimo suspiciously.

Xia Qimo smiled, "You left it at my house, and I brought it to you this time." ”

Ding Ning hurriedly opened the handbag, it was the bear doll she caught when she was playing with the crane machine.

It's really her stuff.

But she remembers two.

"Are you asking why it's just one?" Xia Qimo seemed to see through her thoughts, and he smiled again, "I caught the other one." ”

Yes, indeed.

Ding Ning stuffed the bear doll back into the bag and turned around to leave.

"By the way," Xia Qimo called out to her behind her, "I should have caught two of them that day, and what about the other one?"

Ding Ning thought about it seriously, Xia Qimo caught two that day, but when he was watching a movie, Ding Ning asked Shen Xiu to help hold it, and later Shen Xiu might have taken the doll home.

However, why did he want two to bring one with her, he couldn't take them all.

"Then this is for you, right?" Ding Ning handed the bag back to him again.

Xia Qimo shook his head and refused, "My little bear is wearing pink clothes, this one is not." ”

So clear?

"I'll give it back to you another day. Ding Ning dropped a sentence and returned to his room with the bag on his back.

He Shumin ran back with her.

In the room, Xia Qihao looked at Xia Qimo and Ding Ning for a doll, and he felt very strange.

Worrying about such trivial things is not his brother Xia Qimo's style.

Is this teasing the little girl?

"Brother. He shouted Xia Qimo.

Xia Qimo looked back at him.

"Are you okay?" asked Xia Qihao.

Xia Qimo nodded, "I'm fine." As he spoke, he patted Xia Qihao on the shoulder, walked inside, and opened the door of the Japanese room.

Xia Qihao found that his brother was laughing, and he was secretly laughing.

After teasing the little girl, she was still secretly laughing, isn't it...... Does his brother like other people's little girls?

Xia Qihao thought of the photos that Xia Qimo secretly treasured, and thought that Xia Qimo knew everything about Ding Ning's date with Hao Xicheng, and he felt that his brother was very likely to like it.

But why do you like it and don't do it for a long time, it's really confusing.

Ding Ning returned to the room and threw the bear brought by Xia Qimo onto his luggage pile, turned around and prepared to go to breakfast.

He Shumin stopped her.

"Ding Ning, have you ever lived in Brother Xia's house?"

"I've lived, what's wrong?" Ding Ning was a little upset because he was embarrassed by Xia Qimo just now, so his attitude towards speaking was not very good.

He Shumin hurriedly smiled, "I want to say that you have such a good relationship, can you bring me with you to play together during this time?"

"Xia Qimo is from the ancestral hall of Xiuzong, so he shouldn't have time to play. And she didn't want to play with the second son of the Xia family.

Keep it cold, that's what her mom said.

"The ancestral hall doesn't need Xia Qimo to repair it, we have people here who specialize in this line, please ask them to come over and talk about the requirements, and they will do it themselves. ”

What Ho means is that they have a lot of time to play.

But Ding Ning responded to her with only one oh.

"You're hungry. Ding Ning bypassed her and walked towards the restaurant.

At this time, Xia Qimo and Xia Qihao also came out of the room.

He Shumin immediately greeted them, "Brothers, let's go have breakfast!"

When Xia Runian and Ding Wensheng were seated, the cousin-in-law who was in charge of the rice brought everyone's breakfast.

Prior to this, Ding Ning, Xia Qimo, Xia Qihao and He Shumin had been sitting in their positions for ten minutes.

During this period, He Shumin wanted to find some topics to talk to Xia Qimo, such as whether you were on that flight, for example, Emperor is not cold, for example, whether to build a snowman after dinner.

Xia Qimo did not respond to any of the questions.

He Shumin could only shrug her shoulders stupidly and pour herself water to drink.

And Ding Ning felt that Xia Qimo's appearance was very in line with his style, so He Shumin's embarrassment at this time was because she didn't observe before talking.

She was even more reckless than she was half a year ago.

Fortunately, she is now mature and grown, and she doesn't talk nonsense.

The elders took their seats, breakfast was served, and Ding Ning kept a cold state and began to eat.

Ding Ning's father was very enthusiastic, and pushed the delicious meat buns and fried eggs in front of Xia Qimo and Xia Qihao, asking them to eat more, completely ignoring the chopsticks raised by Ding Ning.

Ding Ning: "......"

She thought about it for two seconds, if she stretched out her chopsticks in front of the second son of the Xia family at this time to pick up the meat buns, it felt a little contrived, and if one of them helped her push the meat buns over, then she was bound to say thank you.

It's a matter of upbringing.

But her coldness is gone.

Thinking of this, she withdrew her chopsticks and concentrated on drinking porridge.

She was drinking heartily when suddenly a meat bun was caught on her plate.

Ding Ning looked up and saw that it was Xia Qimo.

Xia Qimo didn't look at her, but also sandwiched one for Xia Qihao.

Then he picked up another one.

He Shumin's eyes lit up, thinking that Xia Qimo was going to clip her, but he didn't get Xia Qimo to put the meat bun into his mouth.

It's natural.

Ding Ning looked at Xia Qimo and struggled in his heart: Do you want to eat it?

Finally she ate.

What can I do if I don't eat it, and can I return it?

After breakfast, Xia Runian asked his two sons to go with him to his house to meet the patriarch.

Before leaving, the handsome uncle did not forget to take out a red envelope from his pocket and give it to Ding Ning.

Needless to say, it's still a local custom.

Ding Ning said thank you.

Unexpectedly, Xia Qihao and Xia Qimo also took out red envelopes to give her.

What is this for?

"We're peers, so we don't need to give it. Ding Ning didn't reach out to take it.

"This is a gift for your sister!" Xia Qihao said.

"It's not the first time we've met. Ding Ning still didn't want to take it.

It's not good to pretend to be cold when you pick her up.

"It's just a New Year's gift, don't overthink it. Xia Qimo said.

When did she think too much? Ding Ning took it.

Back in the room, He Shumin did not hide her envy, "Uncle Xia's family is so good to you, if only my mother and Uncle Xia were good friends." ”

Ding Ning couldn't answer this, she could only open the red envelope.

Uncle Xia's red envelope was a brand-new 100 yuan bill, and Ding Ning counted ten of them. She opened the one given by Xia Qihao, and inside was an admission ticket.

Tickets?

Ding Ning took it out and took a look, it was the ticket to the competition site of Tianlan TV "Son of the Sea" in City A.

What does she mean by giving this thing, she looks like a person who likes to watch talent shows?

Ding Ning stuffed the ticket back into the red envelope.

She went to open the red envelope given by Xia Qimo.

In the red envelope is a business card, Xia Qimo's business card.

What the heck?
