For the suggestion of trying a new color system, Qiao Jinsheng was resistant in his heart.

After all, he has only been wearing pure black clothes since he was a child.

Even a trim of other colors on his clothes is superfluous to him.

I saw that the salesperson glanced at him, probably counting the size of his clothes, and then turned around and walked into the warehouse. He grabbed Shi Xia's hand, leaned sideways to her and whispered, "This dress is very expensive, you can't afford it." ”

It wasn't loud, but the salesman heard it.

After a slight pause, he turned his head to look at the two of them.

The suit on the man with a straight and slender figure, although I can't see the brand, is first-class in terms of texture and workmanship. It is likely that the reason why you can't see the brand is that it is customized. It was estimated that the price would not be cheaper than their clothes, but he told the woman that he couldn't afford it.

You can't be pretending to be a poor boy, right?

Take another look at Qiao Jin Sheng, and his top-notch appearance is outstanding. She suddenly felt that the guy was so handsome, he wouldn't be doing that kind of business, right?

Could it be that the clothes were also given by others?

Thinking of this, he looked at Qiao Jinsheng's eyes with a trace of disdain.

Shi Xia didn't look at the salesperson, she didn't know that in just a few seconds, thousands of thoughts were already surging in her heart, looking at Qiao Jinsheng's appearance of making excuses, she took out the card that Qiao Jinsheng had forced into her before: "I couldn't afford it before, but now I can buy it." ”

Qiao Jinsheng: "...... I don't buy that either. ”

Pull Shixia to leave.

The salesperson's face was completely blackened.

It's a bit confusing.

The little girl looks less than twenty years old, young, beautiful and capitalized, and although the clothes on her body are not luxury brands, they are not consumed by ordinary people. Listen to what she said, "I couldn't afford it before, but now I can buy it", so the card in her hand, isn't it hers?

Imagine a triangular or even four-cornered romance in your mind.

Shi Xia didn't know that the two of them had a few natural movements, which would be interpreted like this, and grabbed Qiao Jin Sheng and said, "You don't like that color, let's try another color." ”

Pointing to another suit in the cupboard.

Qiao Jin Sheng followed her fingers and looked over.

Lake green.

Qiao Jin Sheng questioned Shi Xia's eyes very much, and looked left and right with her little face: "Your eyes are broken?"

Shi Xia slapped his hand away: "You are still young, why do you always wear such an old-fashioned style?"

Qiao Jinsheng said: "The old is not old in the face, not in the clothes." ”

Even if he wears an old man's shirt, he is still a young and handsome young man.

Shi Xia didn't refute.

Because she thinks so too.

Finger pointed to a dark blue suit: "Try this." ”

Qiao Jin Sheng followed her fingers and looked over. The dark blue is more or less close to black, especially when there is no light, it looks a bit like black.

Compared with the previous ones, this one is reasonable.

Qiao Jinsheng finally nodded and agreed to give it a try.

Shi Xia happily shouted at the salesperson: "Please help take down this dress." ”

The after-sales staff had already returned to the counter, and was talking to another girl in the counter, who looked at Qiao Jinsheng and Shi Xia from time to time.

Hearing Shi Xia's shout, she hurriedly walked out.

Seeing the dress Shi Xia was referring to, she hesitated and said, "Miss, this is a handmade suit, and the price is more than three times the one you just saw." ”

The implication is that I can't afford that one just now, but can I afford this one?

Shi Xia said: "We can afford it. ”

The salesman was staggered.

With so much money, I didn't blink an eye when I spent it, the money must have come easily, and I was even more sure that the card in Shi Xia's hand was not clear.

However, she gets a commission according to sales, whose money is not earned?

Immediately put on a smiling face, neatly took out the clothes from the warehouse, and said while giving them to Qiao Jin Sheng: "Sir, our suit is tailor-made, you only need to try one style, and we will have a professional tailor to measure it for you." ”

Qiao Jin Sheng's head.

Taking the clothes, the salesperson pointed to the mirror next to him: "Sir, the fitting room is here." ”

Qiao Jin Sheng took two steps over there.

Feeling that the little thing didn't follow, he stopped and turned his head to look at Shi Xia: "What are you doing in a daze, come and help." ”

Shi Xia: "...... You can't try it yourself?"

In broad daylight, let her go into the room with him to change clothes?

Qiao Jin Sheng stared at her with a natural expression: "It's not that I don't have a girlfriend, how can I try on clothes myself?"

Shixia: "......"

The girlfriend is not a nanny, and she has the obligation to help with the dressing, but this idea was also thought about in her heart, and when she saw that if she didn't go in to help, Qiao Jinsheng was going to give up the idea of trying on clothes, she decisively chose to follow the man.

In the complicated eyes of the salesperson, he followed Qiao Jin Sheng into the dressing room.

As soon as the door closed, the man pressed her against the wall.

The forehead was against her forehead, and she asked in a low voice, "Did you mean it just now?" deliberately picked out those colorful clothes, trying to make him look ugly.

Shi Xia's heart was beating hard.

She didn't want to make a locker room incident, so her little hand pushed his chest, "Hurry up, there's someone waiting outside." ”

Qiao Jin Sheng smiled: "What are you afraid of?"

Picking her chin, she lowered her head and kissed it.

"Hmm......" Shi Xia almost screamed.

Thinking of the salesman standing outside the door, she swallowed the sound back into her stomach. He thumped the man's arm hard, trying to make him let go of himself.

The fist hit the man as if it were pounding against an iron wall.

Didn't pose any threat to the man.

It was a long time before the man kindly let go of her, and wiped his thumb over her reddened lips to wipe away the water stains he had left behind: "Look at your little bit of interest." ”

Shi Xia's face turned white.

Waved his hand and landed a punch in his chest: "Why are you so bad?"

The man's voice was low: "Good or bad are only for you." ”

Shi Xia's anger that had just come out was instantly discharged.

At this time, the voice of the salesman came from outside: "Sir, Miss, have you changed your clothes?"

The suit is not another clothes, it is not troublesome to change, and the sales meet waited for a few minutes, but he didn't wait for the two of them to come out, and he couldn't hear any movement inside, so he couldn't help but start to wonder what they were doing inside.

Shi Xia's face turned red.

He glared at Qiao Jin Sheng angrily, and said weakly: "It'll be fine right away." ”

took the clothes in a panic and wanted to change them for Qiao Jinsheng.

Qiao Jinsheng took the clothes from her hand: "No need to try." "Reach for the locker room door.

Shi Xia was puzzled: "Don't you try?"

Qiao Jin Sheng smiled evilly: "Only those who are not in good shape can pick clothes." "No matter what clothes are put on him, they are all the same sense of luxury.

For Qiao Jin Sheng's self-confidence, Shi Xia was a little jealous.

After all, she didn't get to the point where she could wear a sense of luxury no matter what she dressed.

When he went out, the salesman looked at the suit that was still hanging on the hanger and was a little surprised: "Is the gentleman dissatisfied?"

Qiao Jinsheng said: "Very good. ”

His wife's vision, of course, is good.

The salesman was pleasantly surprised: "If Mr. is satisfied, you can pay the deposit first, and we will arrange a professional master to help you measure the size." ”

This time it was Shi Xia who said: "Okay." ”

The salesperson makes an order.

Shi Xia stood by and waited.

After opening the list, Shi Xia took the list to pay, and Qiao Jin Sheng followed her as a matter of course. This is the first time the little thing has given him a gift, and he wants to enjoy the process.

I won't rush to pay with her.

When paying, Qiao Jinsheng thought that Shi Xia would use his card, but Shi Xia thought about it, and still put Qiao Jin Sheng's card away and took his own card to swipe.

This is the first gift she gave to Qiao Jinsheng, and it only makes sense to buy it with her own money.

However, when she made the payment, she still felt a lot of pain when she saw the amount entered by the cashier on the poss machine.

It's too expensive!

Originally, she came out today, in addition to preparing a New Year's gift for Qiao Jinsheng, she also wanted to prepare a gift for her mother and Sister Fang. But think about the consumption just now...... When I bought something again, I decisively swiped Qiao Jinsheng's card.

Qiao Jinsheng was very satisfied.

Coming out of the mall, Qiao Jin Sheng sent Shi Xia back to his residence.

Before Shi Xia asked him if he wanted to go upstairs together, he had already taken the initiative to get out of the car and carry his things.

Shi Xia unexpectedly found that there were some gifts on the car.

Qiao Jinsheng said: "The New Year is here, come and please your mother-in-law." ”

Shi Xia smiled: "Do you just need to please your mother-in-law?"

Qiao Jin Sheng nodded very respectfully: "My wife needs to please me more." ”

Shi Xia stretched out his hand to him.

He really took out a small box from his pocket and put it in her hand, "Happy New Year." ”

On the box is the logo of a well-known jewelry brand.

Shi Xia didn't know what to say when it was her turn, she just wanted to joke with him, but she didn't expect him to really prepare a gift for her.

Looking at her flattered and overwhelmed little appearance, the man's smile widened.

took out his things, closed the trunk, and walked to the door of the building: "Don't be stunned, you won't be able to catch up with dinner if you don't leave." ”

Shi Xia immediately followed.

He said, "It's not even four o'clock." ”

Qiao Jin Sheng: "Anyway, I'll come to help, it's not appropriate to go up and eat." ”

Shixia: "......"

The two returned upstairs, Sister Fang was making noodles, Xu Wenjing personally adjusted the filling, and at first glance, she wanted to make dumplings to eat. Seeing Qiao Jin Sheng following Shi Xia into the door, Xu Wenjing was full of surprise: "Xiao Sheng is here." ”

Qiao Jin Sheng's mouth was sweet: "Auntie is good." ”

Sister Fang, who was full of faces, also raised her head to greet her: "Mr. Qiao is here." ”

Qiao Jin Sheng nodded, in response.

Xu Wenjing saw the large and small bags he was carrying, and said distressedly: "It's not the first time I've come, I bring so many things every time." He looked at Shi Xia with disgust: "You don't stop buying so many things." ”

Shixia: "......"

Blame her?

She doesn't even know if it's okay?

Qiao Jinsheng said: "It's the New Year. ”

Shi Xia echoed: "That's it, it's the New Year." ”

Xu Wenjing was still holding the spice bottle in her hand, poured it into the diced meat, and didn't say anything polite to Qiao Jin Sheng: "You sit down first, I'll take care of the meat." ”

Qiao Jinsheng said: "Auntie, you're welcome. ”

The two changed their slippers at the entrance, Qiao Jin Sheng put his things in the living room, and Shi Xia walked directly towards the kitchen. As he walked, he asked, "Mom, what kind of stuffed dumplings are wrapped?" ”

Xu Wenjing said: "Just the tip of your nose." ”

Sister Fang said: "Madame said that you like to eat cabbage heart and meat stuffed dumplings, and today I went to the market to buy fresh cabbage." ”

Shi Xia bent his eyes and reached out to hug Xu Wenjing: "Mom, you are so good." ”

Xu Wenjing was pouring soy sauce into the diced meat, and when she shook it, the soy sauce almost spilled, and pushed her in disgust: "Go and watch TV with Xiaosheng, don't make trouble." ”

Shi Xia pouted.

As soon as she said that she praised her mother, her mother disliked her.

Qiao Jinsheng also entered the kitchen after putting his things away, glanced at the situation in the kitchen, and asked, "Auntie, is there anything I can help with?"

With his words, Xu Wenjing was very happy: "Let's eat dumplings at night, we don't need so many people to work, you and Xia Xia go to the living room to watch TV, the meal will be ready soon." ”

Seeing that Qiao Jin Sheng was really pulling up her sleeves, she urged Shi Xia: "Don't get in the way in the kitchen, get out quickly." ”

Shi Xia said to Qiao Jin Sheng: "My mother dislikes you." ”

Qiao Jinsheng: "......"

Xu Wenjing: "I'm talking about you, regardless of Xiaosheng's affairs." ”

Shi Xia: "Mom, you have to save some face for me in front of outsiders." ”

Xu Wenjing: "Xiaosheng is not an outsider. ”

Shixia: "......"

dragged Qiao Jin Sheng to the living room.

turned on the TV, found a random channel to watch, looked at Xu Wenjing's direction, and said to Qiao Jinsheng: "I suddenly found that since you came to my house, my mother seems to be closer to you than to me." ”

Qiao Jinsheng said: "My mother-in-law understands righteousness and is good to me, hoping that I will be better to you in the future." ”

Shi Xia: "Really good at talking. ”

Qiao Jinsheng: "Not only talking, but also doing." ”

Shi Xia: "...... Watch TV well. ”

said that there was no need to help, and when they started making dumplings, Qiao Jin Sheng and Shi Xia still played.

There is heating at home, don't worry about getting cold, Qiao Jin Sheng took off his coat, rolled up his sleeves, pinched the dumpling skin and filled the filling, and the dumplings wrapped out were also upright, and their appearance was super high.

Xu Wenjing praised vigorously.

Even Sister Fang couldn't help but praise again and again, saying: "There are not many young people nowadays who can cook by themselves, let alone making dumplings." ”

Qiao Jinsheng silently accepted all the compliments.

Shi Xia was a little unconvinced.

With the same thing and the same action, the dumplings she wrapped out were so soft that they couldn't stand. Placed together with Qiao Jinsheng's dumplings, the part she wrapped was like a lazy little hamster slumped on the ground. Chubby, a little lump.

After observing Qiao Jinsheng's movements very carefully, and after creating a "little hamster" by himself, Shi Xia patted the flour on his hand in frustration: "It must be a problem with noodles, my noodles are soft here." ”

Xu Wenjing was not angry: "I don't know how to pack, and I still find a reason." ”

Shi Xia pouted.

Qiao Jin Sheng finished wrapping one, picked up a new dumpling wrapper, and said to Shi Xia, "I'll teach you." ”

Shi Xia said that he didn't learn, but he still obediently took a dumpling skin in action, and watched the movements of his hands seriously. The appearance of concentration is similar to that of her when she took medical class.

Qiao Jin Sheng put the dumpling skin between his thumb and index finger, let the middle sink slightly, and said to Shi Xia: "This can fill a little more filling, and if there is more filling, the dumplings will stand up." ”

Shi Xia did so.

Sure enough, it's much easier than pinching the sides to fill the stuffing.

Qiao Jin Sheng said again: "When pinching up, leave a little more on the outside, and leave a few pleats on both sides, but the pleats should not be too big and too thick, otherwise it will affect the taste." ”

Shi Xia tried it, and sure enough, the dumplings could stand.

Puzzled, she asked, "How do you know how to make dumplings?" She had known him for so many years and had never heard of him making dumplings.

Qiao Jin Sheng approached her ear and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "I checked it on the Internet." ”

“…… When did you check it?"

"Before coming back. ”

"Do you know you want to make dumplings at home?"

"Guess, today's New Year's Day, isn't it customary to eat dumplings?"

Shi Xia: "......" Qiao Jinsheng is right, no matter what festival they have here, the practice is to eat dumplings, but she didn't think about it here.

Xu Wenjing looked at the two of them talking softly, and an elder's kind smile appeared on her face.

After Shi Zhengyuan's accident, she was most worried about Shi Xia, and now seeing that Shi Xia and Qiao Jin Sheng came together, Qiao Jin Sheng knows how to be considerate of people, she is sincerely happy for her daughter.

If Shi Zhengyuan knew about his daughter, he would definitely be happy for them.

Dinner originally only had dumplings and two simple side dishes, but because of Qiao Jinsheng's arrival, Xu Wenjing personally cooked bamboo shoot roast pork and braised pork ribs.

When the dishes were served, Xu Wenjing took off her apron and said, "It's a common meal, don't be surprised by Xiaosheng." ”

Qiao Jinsheng said: "Auntie, you are outside, my favorite food when I was a child was the food made by my aunt, and now it is too late to eat happy." ”

Shi Xia muttered in a low voice: "Your mouth is so sweet, not only did you check how to wrap the dumplings before you came, but also drank half a bottle of honey, right?"

Xu Wenjing heard it and whispered resentment: "What are you muttering?"

Shi Xia had a strong desire to survive, so he took a small bite of a dumpling, and said while chewing: "The dumplings made by my mother are delicious!"

Xu Wenjing saw her greedy appearance, and her heart softened.

pushed the plate placed next to her in front of her: "Eat more, if you like to eat, your mother will often make it for you in the future." ”

Shi Xia waited all night, and finally waited for a good word, and nodded again and again: "Okay." ”

A meal is more filling than eating outside.

The weather has become colder, and Xu Wenjing has not gone downstairs for a walk recently, and she was almost hit by a car in the community last time. After eating, Sister Fang cleaned up the table, and Shi Xia asked Qiao Jin Sheng, "Do you know how to play mahjong?"

Qiao Jinsheng nodded: "It's okay." ”

So, Shi Xia said to Xu Wenjing: "Mom, I haven't played mahjong with you for a long time, it just so happens that Jin Sheng is here, plus Sister Fang, we have enough people, how many laps will we come?"

Xu Wenjing looked at Qiao Jin Sheng with some expectation, and looked at Qiao Jin Sheng with some hesitation: "Xiao Sheng still has to go back to be busy, right?"

Qiao Jinsheng said: "Today is New Year's Day, and we have a holiday. ”

Xu Wenjing was relieved at this time.

By the time Sister Fang finished washing the dishes, Shi Xia had already set up the mahjong.

This deck of cards was brought back to Xu Wenjing when Zhengyuan was on a business trip. Xu Wenjing is a teacher, and her only hobby in her spare time is playing mahjong.

In the past, on weekends, she used to call a few people to play mahjong at home.

It's not big, it's just for fun.

It's just that after Shi Zhengyuan's accident, she hasn't played again. What she didn't know was that this deck of cards was specially brought out by Shi Xia when she came to check the house they lived in before, just to make her happier when she saw it.

Sister Fang sat down, and the game began.

In the past, there was an automatic mahjong table at home, and there was no need to manually throw dice, but now the table used is actually a dining table, and the dice also have to be thrown manually.

Xu Wenjing asked Qiao Jin Sheng to be first.

Qiao Jinsheng said: "Xia Xia is young, let Xia Xia go first." ”

Shi Xia handed the dice to Xu Wenjing: "Mom, you come first, I want to borrow your east wind below." ”

Xu Wenjing threw the dice.

Fourth, Qiao Jin Sheng, who was sitting in her upper house, took the cards first.

Qiao Jin Sheng was about to stretch out his hand, but the mobile phone he put in the living room suddenly rang, Xu Wenjing was afraid of delaying the business, so he urged: "Xiao Sheng, go and answer the phone first." ”

Qiao Jinsheng said: "Okay. ”

In order not to delay everyone's time, I still took my cards first, buckled them in front, and then got up to answer the phone.

Qiao Yi called.

Connected the phone, Qiao Yi's voice came: "Brother Sheng, didn't you go home for dinner tonight?"

The home in his mouth refers to the old house of the Qiao family.

Qiao Jinsheng said "um", "Someone called you?"

Qiao Yi's voice revealed worry: "Madame called and asked me if I was with you." "What's the matter, Qiao Yi didn't say, Qiao Jin Sheng believed that he would answer very appropriately.

After a pause, Qiao Yi said again: "Maybe your aunt went back." ”

Qiao didn't say anything, Qiao Jin Sheng also thought of it, otherwise his mother wouldn't have called him at this time. said lightly: "Don't worry about it, I'll call my mother back." ”

Qiao Yi said, "Okay." ”

Hanging up the phone, Qiao Jinsheng called Yu Anhui: "Mom, are you looking for me?"

Yu Anhui's voice was a little uneasy: "Well, I called Qiao Yi, and he said that you are not together, are you busy?"

Qiao Jin Sheng didn't answer her words directly, but said, "Mom, if you look for me in the future, just call me directly." ”

Yu Anhui was stunned.

After a while, he said, "I'm usually busy, I'm afraid of disturbing you." ”

In my memory, Qiao Jinsheng would pull her clothes and coquettish her when he was very young, but I don't know when he started, he seemed to have grown up suddenly, and he would never ask her for toys or snacks again.

She began to wonder how to face her son, who was like a little adult.

Later, Qiao Jin Sheng took over Yuansheng, and she was so busy that she couldn't see anyone all day long, she wanted to ask him how he was doing, but she was afraid that it would affect him, so she called Qiao Yi.

Slowly, a habit was formed.

Qiao Jinsheng said: "No matter how busy you are, I have time to answer your call." ”

Yu Anhui's heart moved slightly.

It seemed that she hadn't spoken to her son on the phone like this for many years, and she asked softly: "Today's New Year's Day, why didn't you go home for dinner? Grandma still talks about you and Xia Xia." ”

Qiao Jinsheng said: "Mom, you wouldn't have called me because of this before. "Yu Anhui is soft on the outside and tough on the inside, and her temperament is very tenacious, she probably knows that he is busy, and she rarely calls him. Many times when I call him, the phone will be called to Qiao Yi first.

Yu Anhui was stunned again.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Qiao Jin Sheng lowered his voice and asked, "Is it Qiao Lina going home to make trouble?"

Yu Anhui said: "She's your aunt anyway, my mother doesn't know what she did to anger you, can it be for your father's sake, forget it?"

There was no half-accommodating tone in Qiao Jinsheng's deep voice: "If she really regarded herself as my aunt, she wouldn't have done those things." ”
