Chapter 45: Chinese New Year
There is still a week before the Chinese New Year, and the company finally has a holiday. Shen Yuxi snuggles up at home every day with nothing to do, lying on the sofa and watching TV.
Fang Jidong mentioned to her countless times that he wanted to take her Fang family compound for the New Year and let her go home as his girlfriend. But every time he was rejected by Shen Yuxi, the reason was that the time was not right. In fact, where is the wrong timing, it's just that the Fang family has a big business, if it is just an ordinary friend to go to his house as a guest, it is very popular, but if it is Fang Jidong's girlfriend, she doesn't know if they can accept her. Her identity and status, no matter what aspect, she and Francis are extremely unsuitable. In the final analysis, it is the inferiority complex in her bones that is at work. She didn't dare to tell Fang Jidong about this, he must not care, otherwise he would not be so gentle and considerate to her. She was too afraid of being hurt and abandoned, so she could only find a high-sounding reason to refuse.
On the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, she finally provoked Fang Jidong to be angry.
"What are you afraid of? It's not like you haven't seen them, and sooner or later you're going to tell them about our relationship. It's a good time to celebrate the New Year now. We've been together for so long, why can't we get the time?" he said in a cold tone, making her afraid.
Shen Yuxi sat on the sofa, lowered his head and whispered, "Since you have to say it sooner or later, what does it matter if it is later? Why not now?"
Fang Jidong took a deep breath, walked to her side, looked at her with a pitiful appearance, and couldn't bear to be too harsh: "Do you want me to let you go here alone for the New Year?"
"It's okay, you go back quickly, it's too late to come home, grandpa should be angry. ”
Fang Jidong had no choice but to coax her: "Is it okay to go back with me, believe me, they will like you." ”
Shen Yuxi shook his head, no matter how much he coaxed, he refused to let go, Fang Jidong finally ran out of patience, said coldly, and opened the door and went out.
The room fell silent, Shen Yuxi sat there alone, covering his face with his hands, and finally cried, tears flowing all over his face unscrupulously.
I don't know how long it was, but there was a knock at the door. Shen Yuxi wiped his face with a tissue, stood up and went to open the door. Su Zhi stood outside the door, and Su Zhi didn't even enter the door, so she said, "You change your clothes quickly, and we will go to grandpa's house together." ”
Shen Yuxi was stunned in place, not knowing how to react, but Su Zhi pushed her into the house: "What are you doing in a daze, grandpa said before, let's go home together for the New Year." My brother also called just now and asked me to bring you back anyway. ”
"Did you quarrel?" Looking at Shen Yuxi's red eyes, Su Zhi asked cautiously.
"It's me who is bad and makes him angry. ”
"I know, you're afraid they'll turn against you and my brother, but grandpa must be fine there, and my uncle and aunt aren't the kind of people who value the right person. My aunt used to say that as long as it was a serious girl and my brother liked it, they wouldn't have any opinions. Don't think too much about it, since you don't want them to know, my brother and I won't talk about it, don't worry. ”
Shen Yuxi stood there motionless, and said in a snort: "Won't I go? ”
Su Zhi straightened her face: "Think about it, you are alone in this lonely New Year, can my brother rest assured? He is not comfortable at home for the New Year, you should be good for my brother." ”
Shen Yuxi and Su Zhi arrived at the Fang family's compound, this time Rhubarb saw her, did not rush over, only glanced at her from a distance, and walked away silently.
Entering the house, Grandma Fang came out first, and said with a smile: "Yuxi, you haven't been here for a long time." It's quite cold outside, Su Zhi, you and Yuxi are going to sit over there, there is hot tea on the table, drink some warmth. ”
Su Zhi hugged Grandma Fang's hand and coquettishly said, "Grandma, you love me the most." After speaking, he swept around the room, only Fang Jidong was sitting on the sofa reading a magazine, knowing that the two of them were coming, he didn't even raise his head, and Shen Yuxi also lowered his head and didn't dare to look at him.
"But where have all the people gone?" asked Su Zhi
"Your grandfather and your uncle are playing chess upstairs, your aunt is playing for Aunt Chen in the kitchen, and your parents are probably about to arrive. You guys play first, and then the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner will call you. ”
"Won't my brother-in-law's family come back?
"Your brother-in-law called and wanted to go to Fangcheng's grandmother's house for the New Year, and he didn't come back until the second day of junior high school. Jibei didn't go back, saying that there would be a military exercise after the year, and he would come back to delay things. After Grandma Fang finished speaking, she went to the kitchen.
Su Zhi pulled Shen Yuxi to find Fang Jidong, Shen Yuxi saw that there was no one around, so he sat down next to Fang Jidong and gently pulled down his sleeve with his hand. Fang Jidong looked at her pitiful appearance, and his heart softened into a puddle of water, but he still pretended to be cold, pulled out his sleeve from her hand, threw the magazine on the coffee table, and got up to leave.
Shen Yuxi pursed his mouth and looked at Su Zhi aggrievedly. Su Zhi stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder: "It's okay, he is pretending, don't bother with him, I have to take the initiative to talk to you if it won't last long." ”
When Su Zhi's parents arrived, the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner began, and Fang Jidong sat on the left side of Shen Yuxi, but he still didn't look at her coldly. She thought it would be better if everyone didn't see anything.
Grandpa Fang was in a good mood, and drank a few glasses of wine in a row, but Grandma Fang kept persuading him, always afraid that something would happen to him if he drank too much. Grandpa Fang obeyed the other party's grandmother, and was ruthlessly told by Grandma Fang, so he happily put down the wine glass.
Shen Yuxi had the first time in memory to spend the New Year in such a harmonious family, her heart was sour, her eyes were hot and she was almost about to shed tears, she sniffed and pretended to be calm to pick up the dishes in front of her.
The left hand under the table was suddenly grasped, Shen Yuxi raised his eyes to look at Fang Jidong in surprise, and immediately lowered his head. Fang Jidong's hand was warm, her heart became stable, she smiled at him, and said that she was fine.
Fang Jidong peeled the shrimp, picked the white and tender fish flesh, and quietly put it in front of Shen Yuxi, Shen Yuxi looked at him with a calm appearance, the corners of his mouth rose slightly, and a brilliant flower seemed to bloom in his heart.
After eating the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Grandpa Fang wrapped a big red envelope for Shen Yuxi and Su Zhi each, and even Xia Jingyi gave a New Year's gift, which provoked Fang Jidong to be jealous: "I'm also a child, why didn't anyone give me a red envelope?"
Xia Jingyi was amused by Fang Jidong: "You are a big boss, you have to make a lot of money a year, and I still pointed to you to give me a big red envelope." Besides, how old are you, and you are still jealous of the two little girls. ”
Fang Jidong didn't care, he only looked at Shen Yuxi intently, this girl accepted the red envelope, and her eyes were almost invisible with a smile, he was in a good mood, "No matter how old I am, am I still a child in your eyes?"
Grandma Fang answered next to her: "What you said is that they don't give red envelopes, grandma will give you bags tomorrow, you are all women over men, I can't stand it." ”
Fang Jidong laughed, "You see, grandma is still the closest to me." ”
There was a Spring Festival party on TV, everyone was talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was unusually good. I don't know how the topic came to Fang Jidong's lifelong event, and Grandma Fang has always been extremely concerned about this matter.
"Dongdong, didn't you say you were going to take your girlfriend home? Why haven't you even seen a figure for so long?"
Xia Jingyi snorted: "Eighty percent of him is teasing us and making us happy, I think I still have to worry about it." As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Fang Liwei, who was drinking tea, "The old Liang in the procuratorate a few days ago said that her daughter works in a bank, isn't it called Liang Lu?"
Fang Liwei thought for a while and nodded, "I've seen that girl, she has a gentle temperament, she is quite beautiful, she is about the same age as Ah Dong, she has a good job and a good family background, so it seems that she is quite a good match with Ah Dong." ”
When Shen Yuxi heard this, he felt a little sad in his heart, who would not value his family background? But she doesn't even have a home, in the eyes of others, how can she be worthy of the family background of Jidong above?
"After the New Year, make an appointment with Lao Liang and let Ah Dong meet with the girl. ”
Grandma Fang also joined the camp to go on a blind date for him, and the more she talked, the more enthusiastic she became, Fang Jidong finally got impatient and interrupted their enthusiasm: "I have a girlfriend, don't worry about it here." ”
They stopped, and Xia Jingyi asked in disbelief: "Then why don't you bring it over, let's see." ”
Fang Jidong stared at Shen Yuxi with straight eyes, seeing that Shen Yuxi's heart was furious, for fear that he would accidentally shake it all out, she bit her lip and asked him with her eyes, but she didn't dare to say it.
Fang Jidong actually said that the words were almost in his mouth, but he still swallowed it raw, and said helplessly: "She is a little shy, I'll talk about it later." Anyway, you don't care anymore, I promise I'll bring her back. ”
Xia Jingyi saw that what he said was really like that, and she didn't say anything anymore. This topic is over, and everyone continues to watch the show on TV.
