Except for this marriage, Lu Xiu's life temporarily returned to peace.

When she learned that one of Zhao Qingya's last wishes was to let her marry Lu Xiu, she almost jumped up directly from the sofa.

And just when Lu Xiu thought that she would directly refute this marriage, Zhao Lingyan first ran into the house with Chen Yuning and the two to discuss for more than an hour, and then came out and agreed to Lu Yunyi.

"Auntie, I think I can accept this engagement. ”

Zhao Lingyan's words were amazing.

Lu Xiu looked at Zhao Lingyan with wide eyes, completely unaware of what this woman thought.

Lu Yunyi was also surprised.

Then he chuckled and said, "That's great." Your mom must be happy. ”

"Yes, it's because this is one of her last wishes that I agreed. ”

Zhao Lingyan said and glanced at Lu Xiu lightly, as if to say: Otherwise, I won't agree.

"Ling Yan, since you have agreed, is it better to change your name to me?"

Lu Yunyi was in a good mood and laughed rarely.

Zhao Lingyan smiled and called sweetly: "Mom!"

This mother's cry is both smooth and well-behaved, which makes people sweet to the heart.

Lu Xiu looked at Lu Yunyi and Zhao Lingyan with a stunned face, with his IQ, he couldn't understand which one of the big and one small was singing.

Lu Yunyi was busy with the company's affairs, and quickly left here with his bag, leaving Zhao Lingyan, Chen Yuning, and Lu Xiu in the living room.

After Lu Yunyi left, the second daughter instantly completely forgot about the protagonist Lu Xiu in the topic just now, and the two began to eat melon seeds and watched the variety channel, as for Lu Xiu's fiancé, he was directly ignored by Zhao Lingyan...

stared at Zhao Lingyan's side face one after another, wanting to see what she was doing.

However----

"Hey, why haven't I seen this man before, and he's a little handsome. ”

Zhao Lingyan pointed to a third-tier star on TV and pushed Chen Yuning and asked.

"How can there be, I don't think there is as handsome as the first episode, Sister Ling Yan, your vision is not good. ”

“----”

Well, don't guess what a woman thinks.

Lu Xiu gave up.

Shaking his head, he prepared to go back to his room to rest.

Anyway, now that Zhao Lingyan has finally slowly come out of Zhao Qingya's death, this is a good thing.

…

…

Today is the weekend, and Xiao Liu did not come to deliver food at the normal time, because he has resigned since Zhao Qingya's death.

So the family's three meals a day may be in charge of Lu Xiu from now on?

Chen Yuning knocked on Lu Xiu's door: "Brother Braised Eggs, we're hungry, come down and cook, the vegetables are all in the refrigerator." ”

"Why me?"

He always felt that if he did this meal, it was probably that he had been doing it all the time.

Chen Yuning's answer was also very simple, she said playfully: "Because you are Sister Ling Yan's fiancé!

“----”

Lu Xiu was speechless for a while.

What Chen Yuning said is inevitably too reasonable, right?

In desperation, Lu Xiu had to run to the kitchen.

He always felt that his fiancé was a little at a loss, after all, as soon as he served, he served two women---- Zhao Lingyan and Chen Yuning were like a pair of twin sisters, sticking together all day long.

Zhao Lingyan watched Lu Xiu run into the kitchen and couldn't help but snicker lightly.

Sure enough, Chen Yuning is right, after this marriage is married, she is equivalent to having a free coolie, besides, this marriage is also fake, first, Lu Xiu can protect herself, second, she can call him, third, she can use Lu Xiu as a shield to block her annoying suitors, and fourth, when she has someone she likes, she can also divorce...

It's like killing four birds with one stone!

…

After a while, the hot meals were served on the table one by one, all of which were home-cooked dishes, three dishes and one soup, which was more than enough for three people to eat.

"Brother Marinated Egg, you are awesome!"

Chen Yuning looked at Lu Xiu in an apron with a small starry face, and then looked at the fragrant meal, and praised it sincerely.

In the future, if Lu Xiu comes to cook for them, do you still need a takeaway call?

She decided to go and throw away the takeaway phone in a moment!

She and Zhao Lingyan have both tasted Lu Xiu's craftsmanship, even if they don't eat it, they can feel delicious when they smell it!

The second daughter was quite righteous, and waited for Lu Xiu to go in and take off her apron, and then sat on the opposite side, and then started.

The two daughters' record today is quite good, both of them have eaten two bowls of rice, this is already the peak of the two, of course, Lu Xiu's meal is twice as much as theirs.

After eating, Lu Xiu got up decisively.

"I made the rice, so you should be here to wash the dishes, right?"

Lu Xiu said with a smile.

With that, he was ready to turn around and go upstairs.

I don't want to think at this time, Zhao Lingyan suddenly shook his head, the brightness on his face flashed, and he flattened his mouth and said, "Are you willing to let the two of us wash the dishes? Shouldn't this kind of rough work be done by you men? It's good that we are responsible for being as beautiful as a flower, isn't it?"

Lu Xiu was stunned for a moment, and was just about to speak.

"Lemon, run!"

It's just that what I didn't expect was that Zhao Lingyan pushed Chen Yuning, and the two seemed to have discussed it and ran away directly.

“----”

Lu Xiu looked at the backs of the two of them going upstairs and couldn't help but shake his head.

He always felt that since Zhao Qingya's death, Zhao Lingyan's temperament had also undergone slight changes---- could it be because he had stayed with Chen Yuning for a long time and began to develop towards Chen Yuning? No, it may have something to do with the untying of the knot in her heart...

……

********************************************************************************

The snack street opposite the school is full of people, so it's not lively.

There was very little homework tonight, and Zhong Ting completed it all during recess.

And today's part-time job group is quiet, there is no part-time job suitable for her, so Zhong Ting is free at night.

She didn't have the habit of eating dinner very early, so when she came out of school, she didn't go home as soon as possible, but crossed the road to the opposite snack street, and soon found her father Zhong Dahai, ready to come over to help.

With her help in collecting money and change, Dad can easily focus on making cold noodles without focusing on anything else.

"Tingting, so early today?"

Seeing Zhong Ting coming over with a schoolbag, Zhong Dahai wiped the sweat on his face and said with a smile.

Although the weather is not very hot anymore, people like them who stand by the gas tank all day long to bake noodles are undoubtedly very hot.

"Well, Abba, I'm here to help you, I'm okay today. ”

Zhong Ting said to Zhong Dahai with a smile.

As she spoke, she lowered her bag from her shoulder and threw it next to the cart that baked cold noodles.

Zhong Dahai was a little surprised: "Tingting, don't you have to go to tutoring people today?"

"Not today. ”

After Zhong Ting put down her schoolbag, she came to Zhong Dahai's side.

From the moment she came here, many passing boys looked at her.

"Dad doesn't need your help here, Dad can get it over alone, and he's not very busy, since you have nothing to do, it's better to go back and rest early, your mother may have come back, she shouldn't be working overtime today----- go back quickly." ”

Zhong Dahai said as he pushed Zhong Ting out of the car.

It was too hot to stand in front of the baking sheet, and he didn't want his daughter to sweat like him.

"No, Abba, I'm not going back, I don't have anything to do when I go back, I'm here to help you with the cashier. Zhong Ting rejected Zhong Dahai's kindness.

"This..."

Zhong Dahai couldn't survive his daughter, so he had no choice but to leave her here.

Every time Zhong Ting has nothing to do, he will help him register here, and every time he can't drive her away.

Zhong Dahai smiled, he always felt that it was a blessing for him to give birth to such a filial daughter, although his husband and wife had little money, and they couldn't even afford their daughter's study, Zhong Ting had to go part-time to be able to spend the family's expenses, but Zhong Ting had no complaints about this, and he always wanted to help him do things when he was free.

Whenever he thinks of this, Zhong Dahai always wants to make up for it, but he finds that he has no ability at all, and he can't make up for it.

"Dad, just concentrate on baking cold noodles, and I'll collect money and change." ”

Zhong Ting's voice pulled him back to reality.

Secretly wiping a handful of sweat beads from the corners of his forehead to hide his slightly moist eyes, Zhong Dahai coughed lightly twice and nodded and said, "Hey, good." ”

Suddenly, Zhong Dahai remembered something.

He lifted Zhong Ting's schoolbag on the ground, stuffed it directly into her hand, and said anxiously: "Tingting, go back quickly..."

"Why?"

Zhong Ting looked at Zhong Dahai with a puzzled expression. Obviously, she promised to be good just now, why did she suddenly want to call her back?

In addition, seeing Zhong Dahai's anxious look, she is even more unlikely to go back---- Zhong Dahai must have something to hide from her?

"Abba, why did you let me go back?"

"It's nothing..."Zhong Dahai shook his head and said, "It's not a big deal, it's just... The clothes at home are not confiscated, and it may rain depending on the sky, so you can go back and help collect them. ”

Zhong Dahai had an idea, and finally thought of a way to break Zhong Ting.

It's a pity that Zhong Ting doesn't seem to eat this set at all.

"Abba, the weather looks good this day, where does it look like it's raining?" she said in wonder, "Besides, when I went out today, I didn't see any clothes drying outside?"

Zhong Ting is a careful person, and she can't forget the things she has seen. When she went out, her parents were already gone, and she saw that there was no clothes drying on the balcony.

In other words, Zhong Dahai really just wanted to trick her into going back.

Is something going to happen?

Why is Dad in such a hurry?

"Hey..."

Zhong Dahai knew that he couldn't fool Zhong Ting, so he had no choice but to sigh: "Tingting, why don't you listen to your father." ”

When he looked up.

"Hey, it's late, they're coming. ”

Zhong Dahai opened the drawer of the cart, glanced at the money inside, and muttered to himself: "I don't know if this money is enough..."

"What money is enough, should this money be given to others?"

Zhong Ting looked puzzled.

Soon, Zhong Ting saw several young people walking here.

These people are very unfamiliar, and at first glance they are not students of No. 8 Middle School, and they may not even be in this area.

Judging by the way they walked, they were wobbly and had cigarettes in their mouths, and they didn't look like serious people at all.

Led by a man in red clothes and with studs, they first wandered in front of several small carts nearby, and then soon came to Zhong Dahai's place.

The man in red had just come to the stall, and the first thing he saw was Zhong Ting.

In fact, they came here yesterday, but yesterday they only received half of the protection fee, and half of the stall owners let them have a grace day, today is the second day they came to collect the protection fee, and the rest have almost paid, only a few have not received the protection fee---- Zhong Dahai is one of them.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this Zhong Dahai actually had such a beautiful daughter?

It seems that this woman should obviously be Zhong Dahai's daughter.

The man in red immediately became interested in Zhong Ting.

It's just that the protection fee still has to be collected.

Immediately, he came to the front of the roasted cold noodle stall, and saw that the boss was staying here, and the other two younger brothers also stayed behind him, holding a cigarette and looking at the old man in front of him--- in their eyes, Zhong Dahai was full of gray hair, he was an old man.

"How's it going, it's the next day, is the protection money ready?"

The man in red quietly withdrew his gaze from Zhong Dahai and said to Zhong Dahai.

In front of Zhong Ting, he has to show his might.

"It's... Look at me..."

Zhong Dahai pulled out the drawer, and the man in red leaned over to take a look, and suddenly became a little angry: "Don't you want to tell me that you can't pay the protection fee today, right?" ”

"I know, but... In the past two days, the students have finished class late, and there is almost no business... It's been more than three months, and I've paid the protection fee to you every month, and I haven't had a single month of money, but this month is really bad business... See if you can give me a few more days... I promise..."

The younger brother was immediately unhappy, and said angrily: "Protect your mag head, my boss is not collecting protection money from you for nothing, if it weren't for our boss in this area, do you think you can do business well?"

The man in red didn't speak, but put his legs on the wheels of the cart, and said with a somewhat unpleasant face: "Old man, I seem to have told you very clearly yesterday, and you still tell me this today?"

"I..."

"You what you. The man in red said viciously: "If you didn't hear it clearly yesterday, then I'll repeat it again, I said it yesterday, if you can't pay it today, don't blame me for being polite..."

"Who are you, why do you want to take our money, we don't know you, why should we give you money..."

Zhong Ting was on the side, and finally couldn't help but speak.

As soon as she opened her mouth, she was desperately stopped by Zhong Dahai with her eyes, but it was a pity that Zhong Ting still blurted out, because the other party's attitude was so annoying, why would someone charge protection money so excessively in these years, growing so big, Zhong Ting was the first time to hear of this kind of thing---- except for what she saw in the movie.

"Little sister, we have this fee, but your father can do business safely, how can you say why give it? If you don't give it, your father and his old thing don't want to do business in this area, and you don't ask who covers this area. ”

"I don't understand what you're talking about at all, it's a legal society now, if you have to do this, then I can only call the police..."

After hearing her words, several people directly looked at me and I looked at you, and laughed.

Zhong Dahai hurriedly covered his daughter's mouth to prevent her from continuing to talk nonsense, he hurriedly smiled and said to the man in red: "The little girl is not sensible, she talks nonsense, don't take it to heart..."

"It's still the old guy who is more sensible. ”

The man in red looked at Zhong Ting and said to Zhong Dahai: "Otherwise, I won't embarrass you, I don't want the protection fee this month, you just need to let your daughter stay with me for a day tonight, how about it?"

"You... You guys..."

This time, even Zhong Dahai couldn't stand it.

He didn't forget to embarrass him, but the other party said something insulting to his daughter so frivolously, and he refused.

Several people laughed, ignoring Zhong Dahai's angry expression.

In their eyes, can an old man still make any waves?

However, the anger on Zhong Dahai's face finally angered the man in red.

"Dead old man, his eyes are so big, I'm afraid that I won't be able to stare at people after the coffin board is covered, right?"

The man in red walked over, took away all the remaining banknotes and change in the drawer, and then directly pushed Zhong Dahai away with one palm.

Zhong Dahai was pushed to a stumbling ground, but in the end he couldn't stand firmly, and sat directly on the ground.

Zhong Ting was in a hurry, picked up the schoolbag and skimmed towards the man in red: "You scoundrel!"

The schoolbag was thrown in an arc in the air, and then it was directly caught by the man in red and thrown farther away. "Little girl, her temper is not small. ”

He kicked on Zhong Dahai's cart.

"Bang".

The cart was kicked over, and some of the dishes made for cold noodles in it, as well as cold noodles, and spices were scattered all over the floor.

The loud noise alarmed many people around and watched one after another.

"You..."

Zhong Ting was frightened by the irritable behavior of the man in red, and hurriedly went over to help Zhong Dahai up. She felt that Zhong Dahai's arms were also trembling, in her impression, Zhong Dahai had always been a good and honest person who didn't talk much, but now she felt that in this world, good people may not necessarily have good rewards.

"Abba... We called the police..."

Zhong Ting took out her mobile phone and prepared to call the police, but unfortunately her movements were seen in advance.

As soon as the little brother behind the man in red raised his hand, he directly slapped the mobile phone in Zhong Ting's hand.

"Slap Tart"

followed Zhong Ting's mobile phone for three years, and it fell to pieces...
