Chapter 22 Mid-Autumn Festival
Receiving Fang Jidong's WeChat in the middle of the night made her really shocked. She didn't know how to respond to his message, or if he was just making a suggestion and didn't mean anything else, she should graciously reply with a thank you. Entered and deleted over and over again, and finally put down the phone, forget it, and treat it as if you didn't see it.
During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Fang Jidong was bombarded with countless phone calls from his grandfather and had no choice but to return home. The Fang family has a rule that during the Mid-Autumn Festival and the Chinese New Year, all family members must get together, even if it is just for a meal. Except for the years when Fang Jidong was abroad, he was never absent.
As soon as he arrived home, Fang Jidong's mother, Xia Jingyi, was drinking tea and chatting with Grandma Fang in the living room. Seeing Fang Jidong coming back, he hurriedly beckoned him over.
Grandma Fang took Fang Jidong's hand, looked left and right, and said distressedly: "Ouch, is it not good to eat outside, I said earlier that you should move back home, you look at the weight loss again." ”
Xia Jingyi smiled: "Where did he lose weight, this kid eats and drinks outside all day long, I think he has gained a lot of weight." ”
Grandma Fang glared: "What's the nutrition of the things outside, Dongdong, you come back often if you have nothing to do, grandma asked Aunt Chen to make your favorite boiled beef." After speaking, he looked at Xia Jingyi again, "You are a mother, why don't you know how to care about children?"
Xia Jingyi picked up the teapot on the table, filled the cup in front of Grandma Fang with tea, and glared at Fang Jidong, "Mom, how old is he, and he still worries about us big guys, I want to care about him, but he doesn't go home once in ten days and half a month, and making a phone call is all kinds of perfunctory, there are so many little girls outside, can it be our turn to care?"
Fang Jidong stepped forward and put his arm around Xia Jingyi's shoulders and said to Grandma Fang: "Grandma, my mother is jealous, and she thinks I won't go home." ”
Xia Jingyi slapped his hand away, gave him a blank look, and didn't speak. Grandma Fang looked at him with a smile: "What your mother said is also right, I don't have a home all day long, and I don't know when I will be able to bring me a granddaughter-in-law, and I am still looking forward to holding my grandson." ”
"I haven't had a daughter-in-law yet, so where is my great-grandson. Fang Jidong picked up a piece of dim sum on the table, took a bite, it was so sweet that it was greasy, and threw it back on the plate, Xia Jingyi couldn't help but scold him. Fang Jidong leaned lazily on the sofa, and when his grandmother mentioned his granddaughter-in-law, Shen Yuxi's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and he suddenly laughed and said slowly: "I'll bring you home this year." ”
Xia Jingyi thought he was talking nonsense again, patted him on him, and said, "Don't bring home those demons and monsters, messy girls, our family can't afford to lose that person." Although we don't say that we want to find someone who is rich and rich, rich and powerful, at least it must be a girl from a serious family. ”
Fang Jidong said lightly: "Mom, don't worry, it's absolutely serious." ”
Xia Jingyi didn't believe him, "Just your messy life every day, what kind of serious girl can you know." After a while, it seemed to realize something, "Listen to you say that, do you really have a girlfriend?"
When Grandma Fang heard this, she immediately smiled, "Really, then why don't you bring it home today for Grandma to see?"
Fang Jidong smiled: "People haven't caught up yet? ”
Xia Jingyi was deflated: "I heard that there is no mother, and other girls still don't look down on him." ”
Grandma Fang was very open: "At least there is a goal, don't you, Dongdong, now the little girl has to rely on coaxing, find more time to eat with others, watch movies or something, don't be reluctant to spend money." ”
Xia Jingyi smiled: "Mom, he knows more about these than us." ”
Grandma Fang smiled and nodded, naturally she didn't need to explain these things, but she was getting older, and her health was getting worse day by day, and she didn't know how many years she could live, so she looked forward to seeing Fang Jidong's next generation again. But no matter how anxious he is, the child is not in a hurry, and he sees that he has long passed the age of establishment, let alone his great-grandson, and his granddaughter-in-law doesn't know where he is. This time, Fang Jidong, this kid, finally relented, and it was not in vain that she had to worry about it all day long.
Fang Jidong sat for a while, and Grandma Fang said: "Your grandfather and father have been in the study upstairs, and they have been on it for an hour. ”
Fang Jidong stretched, got up and walked upstairs. I knocked on the door of the study a few times, and without waiting for the person in the door to speak, I pushed the door and entered. Inside, Grandpa Fang was sitting on a chair with pear blossoms, holding a thick book in his hand, his glasses had been taken off, Fang Jidong's father Fang Liwei was standing there straight, and he knew that Grandpa Fang was training people again when he saw this posture. Fang Jidong secretly screamed in his heart that it was not good, it was not the right time to come, and he would inevitably have to be trained. Grandpa Fang was a soldier when he was young, and he had to stand in a military posture when training people. Fang Jidong was disobedient when he was a child, always liked to make mistakes, and the most serious one, he was trained for more than two hours while standing in a military posture, and he almost fainted. Grandma also quarreled with grandpa for this, and Fang Jidong also left a very deep shadow on the military posture from then on.
Before Fang Jidong could speak, Grandpa Fang said: "Come and stand here, just talking about you, you said that you opened a company and made a lot of money." I don't care about you, and I can't do anything about it. But don't forget where the door opens, you said you went home a few times this month, if I hadn't called you, wouldn't you even come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival?"
Fang Jidong stood silently and replied softly: "No, I originally planned to go home." ”
Grandpa Fang snorted coldly: "You still know a little bit of etiquette." And your boss, what age are you, you are about to retire, and you don't care about the affairs of your family. How old is Fang Jidong, Lao Deng of your procuratorate, he is not as old as you, his grandchildren are all in elementary school, you see that Fang Jidong is still a single, it is not a shame to say it. ”
As soon as Fang Jidong wanted to speak, there was a knock on the door, and he heard his grandmother say outside: "The child has finally come home, you know how to train people, Liqiu and Su Moyan have arrived, what are you still doing here? ”
Fang Jidong stood up with his grandfather in his arms, stood behind his grandfather with Fang Liwei, and went downstairs together. Grandpa Fang saw his daughter Fang Liqiu, he couldn't be happy, Fang Liwei looked at Fang Jidong with a helpless expression, who made their girls more expensive.
Fang Liqiu and Su Moyan shouted Dad, Grandpa Fang sat on the sofa, said okay with a smile, looked around, and suddenly frowned: "Why didn't Su Zhi come, I haven't seen her for a long time." ”
Fang Liqiu sat next to Grandpa Fang and said with a smile: "That girl said that she wanted to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival with her friends, and she won't come today, saying that she will come to see you and her mother another day." ”
Grandpa Fang slapped the table and shouted in a loud voice: "I won't go home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, where is this like words, you call her and ask her to come back soon." ”
Su Mo hurriedly stepped forward, handed a glass of water to Grandpa Fang, and explained: "Dad, you don't know, Su Zhi's friend is an orphan who grew up in a welfare home, and he doesn't even have a home here. In previous years, it was good to have other classmates with me in school, but this year I have finished my course, Su Zhi couldn't bear to let her live alone, so I went to accompany her, and the two of us agreed without any opinion. ”
"What's the name of Su Zhi's friend?" asked Francis.
"Shen Yuxi. ”
When Fang Jidong heard Shen Yuxi's name, he sighed in his heart, he didn't know.
Grandpa Fang was also stunned for a moment, repeated Shen Yuxi's name in his mouth, and said after a while: "Call Su Zhi to bring that girl over, there are more people during the festival, what are the two girls playing outside." ”
Fang Liqiu took the phone and was about to dial it, but Grandpa Fang said again: "Forget it, Fang Jidong, you call and ask where they are? You drive to pick them up, so that they don't run around." ”
Fang Jidong took his clothes and keys, dialed the phone while he went out.
Su Zhi and Shen Yuxi sat in Ruyi Square, the reason for today's festival is that the people in the square are like rushing to the market, and there are black heads everywhere. While eating ice cream, Su Zhi said with a sad face: "My mother called and asked the two of us to go back to grandpa's house for the holiday." ”
There was a gust of wind, the weather was a little cold, Shen Yu gathered his clothes, tucked a handful of hair behind his ears, looked at the lively crowd in the distance, and sighed softly: "You go back, I won't go, I don't know the people in your family, it's embarrassing to go." ”
"Actually, I don't really want to go back, I have to be talked about by my grandfather, uncle and aunt when I go back, why don't you find a boyfriend, how about work, it's annoying......" Before she finished speaking, she suddenly stopped, and saw that Shen Yuxi's face was not abnormal, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Zhi felt speechless, and she didn't dare to say more, so as not to lose too much. When she knew that Shen Yuxi grew up in a welfare home, she was extremely shocked. Because although Shen Yuxi doesn't talk much, his cultivation is excellent, and he loves to laugh, has a good temper, is optimistic and generous, and can also afford to joke. Su Zhi never imagined that she would be an orphan. That time, when the two were filling in the file together, she glanced at it, Shen Yuxi filled in the parents column, she was curious, but she was just a brain, and asked directly: "Why do you fill in nothing, what about your parents?"
Shen Yuxi was stunned for a moment, his face changed, and finally he smiled at her and said softly: "No, I grew up in an orphanage." ”
Su Zhi's face was even more ugly at that time, she felt that she was really stupid and asked such a brainless question. She kept apologizing, for fear of hurting Shen Yuxi's heart. But Shen Yuxi doesn't care, he just says that those who don't know are not to blame. Later, Su Zhi was extremely concerned about Shen Yuxi, and liked to pull Shen Yuxi with her in everything, always afraid that she would be sad if she was left alone. The relationship between the two is getting better and better, and Su Zhi slowly learns that Shen Yuxi's mother died when she was very young. She refused to mention her father, only that her father didn't want her anymore, and Su Zhi didn't dare to ask more.
On a day like today's family reunion, she naturally didn't want Shen Yuxi to live alone. She thought for a while and said, "Okay, let's have dinner together today, and then go to the movies, I can't go back on my word." ”
Shen Yuxi looked at Su Zhi's cautious appearance, very heartwarming, and smiled: "You don't have to worry about me, I originally wanted to take advantage of the holiday to rest, but now it's just right, I can go home and sleep well." ”
As she was talking, Su Zhi's phone rang, Su Zhi answered, I don't know who said what on the phone, Su Zhi pouted and said that it was in Ruyi Square, and hung up the phone.
"The eldest brother came over and said he was going to take us both back. ”
Fang Jidong is coming, Shen Yuxi is inexplicably a little flustered, she doesn't really want to see him, she always feels that there is a strange relationship between the two of them, there is an ambiguous and unknown thing, she doesn't like this feeling, they should keep a long enough distance.
After only being stunned for a while, Fang Jidong had already found him.
"There are so many people here that we can't drive the car, so we have to walk to the intersection over there. ”
Su Zhi pulled down Shen Yuxi, who was hesitating, and looked at her with a pleading expression. Shen Yuxi didn't want to embarrass Su Zhi, so after thinking for a while, he took Su Zhi's hand, and Su Zhi curled the corners of her mouth and smiled.
They made their way through the crowd to the intersection of the square, where a black Cayenne was parked. Su Zhi and Shen Yuxi got into the back seat, and Su Zhi asked Fang Jidong, who was driving, "Is Grandpa angry with me?"
Fang Jidong looked ahead and smiled: "How can grandpa really be angry with you, your mouth, just a few words can coax grandpa to the sky, are you still afraid that grandpa will be angry with you?"
Su Zhi tilted her chin and nodded. said to Shen Yuxi: "That's right, Yuxi, don't worry, my grandfather will definitely like you, my grandfather likes girls the most, even my uncle and aunt, the status of our girls is supreme." My aunt said every day that she always wanted a daughter, but she gave birth to two boys, one was away from home all day, and the other went to the army, and there was no way to go home, and there was no one around to talk to me. After speaking, he shouted again, "Yuxi, you shouldn't have seen my second brother, he is handsome in a military uniform, much more handsome than Song Joong Ki in the descendants of the sun." ”
Shen Yuxi suddenly became interested, "Is it? ”
Francis interjected: "Exaggerated, can I be handsome?"
Su Zhi rolled her eyes: "Dear big brother, can you drive well? You and the second brother are not the same type, there is no comparison." After speaking, he flipped out his mobile phone, "I have a photo of my second brother, you can see that I really am not exaggerating." ”
The two girls held their heads and laughed while watching, and Fang Jidong was completely unable to speak, and his face was black and dark.
"How's it going? This eyebrows, this body, and this aura are incomparable. ”
Shen Yuxi nodded busily: "It's good, so handsome, it's even more good when I wear a military uniform." ”
Fang Jidong finally couldn't help but speak: "I was also going to be a soldier at that time. ”
Su Zhi dismantled the stage and said: "Come on, you were only concerned about falling in love at that time, and my uncle said that you were not a soldier at all, but fortunately, your brain was smart enough to send you out to study." ”
Fang Jidong looked at Su Zhi, who didn't give face at all, completely blackened his face, muttered a superficial sentence, and then stopped talking in silence.
Shen Yuxi and Su Zhi continued to discuss which star was better looking and which one had good acting skills in the back, without the slightest intention of appeasing the injured Fang Jidong in front.
