Seeing Old Madam Gu and Shen Xiao appear, Lan Xi was stunned at first, then raised a smile and took the initiative to greet him: "Mom, why are you here? I thought you and Dad were drinking afternoon tea in the Chunnuan Pavilion together?"

Old Madam Gu also smiled: "Xiaoxi, I came just in time." Let me tell you, this is ......"

"Mom, I know, this one must be Xiaoxiao. Lan Xi stepped forward and took Shen Xiao's other hand: "Mom, your vision is really high, Xiaoxiao's character and appearance, I can't pick out one of the 100,000 girls! ”

Old Madam Gu pursed her lips and smiled: "What are you jealous of? Since you married into the Gu family, I have favored you the most." I've spoiled you for decades, almost, I should find a new love to spoil~"

"That's good, since my mother likes it, I'll pet it with my mother. ”

Lan Xi turned to Shen Xiao and gently squeezed her hand: "Xiaoxiao, when we met for the first time, I blamed the fourth aunt for coming in too much hurry and didn't bring a meeting gift." In this way, you write it down, go back, and the fourth aunt will make it up for you!

Shen Xiao smiled generously: "Fourth Aunt is too polite, it should be me who took the initiative to visit you, you don't mind my rudeness, I am already very grateful." ”

"Ouch!"

Lan Xi's eyes widened, and his mouth became "O"-shaped: "Mom, listen to it! Why is Xiaoxiao so good at talking! It makes people so happy to listen~"

Old Madam Gu cocked her nose proudly: "That's nature." My family is the best!"

"Okay, okay, then you guys go busy, I'll go to Chun Nuan Pavilion to see my father first. Lan Xi narrowed his eyes and smiled extraordinarily.

"Well, there you go. "Old Madam Gu sent Lanxi away with kindness.

Before Lan Xi left, he specially said goodbye to Shen Xiao. Shen Xiao also responded to her very politely.

After Lanxi left, Old Madam Gu said to Shen Xiao: "Xiaoxiao, she is Xingjian's mother, the fourth daughter-in-law of the Gu family, the first time you met, you weren't surprised by her, right?"

Shen Xiao couldn't cry or laugh: "Old lady, what are you talking about? The fourth aunt is so amiable, how could she surprise me?"

"It's good if you don't have it, it's good if you don't have Lan Xi, this child, everything else is good, but she is very familiar, she will be too enthusiastic about people she meets for the first time, and she is often misunderstood as having other plans or acting on the scene and being wrongful or something, but you must not think so, Lan Xi is a very good child, and she treats people very sincerely. ”

"I know. Xingjian is so innocent, his mother will definitely not be far behind. Shen Xiao smiled indifferently.

Old Madam Gu burst out laughing: "Innocent...... Hahahaha!"

Shen Xiao: "......"

Old Madam Gu laughed for a while, thinking back to the little grandson who didn't grow up, and the smile on her face was a little more restrained.

Shen Xiao looked at Old Madam Gu's thoughtful side face, and couldn't help but say comfort: "Old Madam, you don't have to worry...... He is no longer a child, and after this incident, he will grow and improve. ”

"Alas......"

Old Madam Gu took Shen Xiao's hand, lowered her eyelids, and smiled bitterly.

"Xiaoxiao, we have a lot of family members, and the scale is too large. To manage such a big family well, it is necessary to let the children and grandchildren below be able to keep to themselves and make progress in self-denial, let the daughters-in-law live in harmony and communicate harmoniously, and let the brothers not have grievances and grievances, but also let them support each other and love each other...... That's easier said than done. ”

Shen Xiao listened silently and let out a sympathetic sigh.

"It's really not easy......"

In modern civilized society, there is not much room for clan development. And the Gu family is not quite the same as ordinary clans, they are not clans, strictly speaking, they are just a big family.

Large families of this size are almost extinct in modern society.

And the harmony and harmony in the big family to this point is unprecedented and unheard of.

Not to mention the big family, ordinary people's families can have close contact with relatives, and there is no discord between them, and it is almost impossible to see them.

For example, Shen Xiao's family, she and her younger brother have two children at home, but due to the patriarchal relationship between her parents, the relationship between sister and brother has long been severed, and the relationship between Shen Xiao and her parents has also passed away with the wind.

Another example is Chu Yunji's family...... It's even worse.

The children in the family have jumped off the building because they are humiliated.

Many people can't even manage their own small family, and they can't make brothers and sisters love and help each other, let alone the second elder of the Gu family managing such a big family, and there are so many people in the family, Shen Xiao can't imagine how the two of them took care of the Gu family like it is today.

It's amazing.

Old Madam Gu led Shen Xiao to sit down on the edge of the corridor, patted the back of Shen Xiao's smooth and tender hand, and sighed: "Xiaoxiao, taking care of a home is like taking care of a fragile orchid. A small negligence can cause the whole orchid to wither and rot. Therefore, we have never dared to relax, and we will always be deaf to our children and grandchildren, for fear that they will make mistakes. When a problem like Xingjian encounters a problem, he doesn't tell his family, but he holds back to solve it himself, but he can't solve it...... This kind of behavior is the most taboo in the family. ”

"That's what the old lady said. ”

Fortunately, this time the problem was only limited to his own company. But what if this problem is not a problem in the company? What if it is a principled issue that involves his future life development? When he does not handle it well and his reputation is ruined, the Gu family will naturally be dragged into the water. ”

"Old lady......" Shen Xiao frowned slightly: "You are too worried, Xingjian is not that kind of person." ”

"I know he's not, but a lot of times, people can be framed. If you don't talk about the problem as soon as you encounter it, brainstorm and find a way to solve it with everyone, and when you look back and wait until the problem is irreparable, it will be useless to say anything more. I don't want my children to develop this bad habit of hiding everything in their hearts and not saying anything, what I want is that no matter who is in trouble, they can speak up and be able to help solve the problem...... That's the long-term way to make a family prosperous, don't you think?"

"That's what the old lady said. ”

Xingjian felt that if he spoke up about the problem, his family would laugh at him. I don't know if it's the family's fault, or if it's his own mistake. I admit that the family is full of stinky men, and the men's mouths are the worst, and it is normal for Xingjian to be afraid of being ridiculed by those brothers and uncles...... I'm not saying that they are right to laugh, but Xingjian also has to think about it, even if the family laughs twice, they will still help when they look back, he shouldn't just look at the surface, but also think about how everyone does it and how they usually treat him. ”

Speaking of this, Old Madam Gu covered her forehead and sighed, "Hey...... Xiaoxiao, if only my family was full of girls like you, then there would be no problem of ridicule. Why do you say I gave birth to a bunch of stinky boys, and the stinky boys gave birth to a lot of stinky boys, what kind of sin did this ......!"

Shen Xiao: "......"
