Chapter 7: The Year of the Ordinary Family, Part I

Under the starry night sky, the flight to Huadu landed at Baiyun Airport from an altitude of 30,000 feet.

Qiao Mu and Shi Ye were wearing down jackets, and when they slowly walked out of the airport hand in hand, they actually felt a little hot.

The temperature difference between Donghai City, Mauritius, and Huadu is a little strange and weird.

Outside the airport, someone is waiting.

Qiao Mu handed over his backpack and suitcase to the bodyguards who came up, and walked towards the car in the distance.

It was a very tacky, but also domineering Hongqi L9, parked there alone, surrounded by empty space.

Only a little farther away, three or four Range Rovers were parked.

Qiao Mu took Shiye's little hand that was so nervous that he was sweating, and comforted: "Actually, we are all ordinary families, and there is nothing special. At most, the house is bigger, not how great it is. The difference is that our taste is lighter, and that's it. ”

"Huh. Shi Ye laughed awkwardly twice, this joke is not funny at all.

Qiao Mu dragged Shi Ye and got into the car.

There was a woman in the car, her silhouette was beautiful, but she couldn't beat the passage of time. Her hair is a little gray, and her wrinkles are a little noticeable.

"Mom, I want to kill you. When Qiao Mu saw the woman, he couldn't help but hug her.

Qiao Shan ignored him, but looked at Shiye behind her, and she said in broken Chinese: "That beautiful girl, is it your girlfriend?"

Qiao Mu pulled Shi Ye, hugged her in his arms and said, "Well, we have been dating for several years. Isn't it the top of heaven?"

Qiao Shan smiled and said, "It's okay, take it home first, it's getting dark." ”

"Hmm. You don't know, I've called you a lot before, and my dad answered. Later, I also thought about calling you, but I was afraid that you would play mahjong, so I didn't play. Qiao Muxian said diligently.

Qiao Shan rubbed his head and said, "Okay, I don't know you yet?" When you're fine, you won't miss your parents for the rest of your life. You just want to go home, and when you're in trouble, you'll call me. ”

When she set off in the morning, Qiao Mu secretly called Qiao Shan, saying that she would take her daughter-in-law home for the New Year.

"Where?" Qiao Mu said quibly. Then, Qiao Mu gently poked Shi Ye's arm and said, "Shi Shi, you have been in the car for so long, why don't you call Mom? My mother will think you are rude." ”

Shiye was a little shy and a little awkward, she shouted in a low voice, "Mom." ”

"Hmm. Qiao Shan looked at Shi Ye lightly, the smile on her face began to slowly dissipate, and she said, "Little Sun, let's go back." ”

The red flag was launched, and the Range Rover behind it followed.

A small convoy of vehicles, heading towards the TH district.

Qiao Shan's attitude was a little unpredictable for Qiao Mu.

For Shiye, she doesn't seem to show much liking, nor does she have any rejection.

It was 23:13, and Qiao Shan was very tired, she closed her eyes and hugged the car seat to close her eyes.

She's not young, she needs to rest.

Qiao Mu didn't want to quarrel with her, so he hugged Shiye without saying a word.

From time to time, he patted her little hand and comforted her.

Ersha Island is a small island standing on the edge of the Pearl River.

It is located from the city center, just a 10-minute drive from the Pearl River New Town CBD. It is the treasure land with the modern style of Huadu.

There are two places where the house price of the flower is ridiculously expensive.

One is the Huadu villa area of Zhujiang New Town, which belongs to the industry of Huadu Real Estate and is priced at 200,000 square meters.

The other is the garden villa area of Ersha Island, which is priced at 150,000 square meters, and is also the property of Huadu Real Estate.

Although the housing prices of Ersha Island are slightly lower, the status is not low.

Zhujiang New Town is synonymous with local tyrants, so Ersha Island is the spokesperson of the powerful.

Driving into Ersha Island, both sides of the road are lush and green.

Surrounded by green trees, under the rockery with strange rocks, trickling streams continue.

After passing through the green boulevard of more than 300 meters, you can see villas with sunken garden design. There are not many villas, and they are separated from each other by green spaces, small bridges, streams, rockeries, and trees.

Qiao's house is the largest of them.

After getting out of the car, Qiao Mu took Shi Ye and followed Qiao Shan, who was a little hunchbacked, into Qiao's house.

Qiao Mu leaned on the poet and said: "I said, my family is an ordinary family, that is, other people's families, and they are so big. ”

Qiao Shan walked up the stairs slowly, and she said without looking back: "Less water, tomorrow will be the New Year, some of them are busy." ”

Qiao Mu said, "Then where does my daughter-in-law sleep?"

Qiao Shan stopped, she glanced back at Shiye, and said, "Your daughter-in-law, of course I slept in your room." However, there are some things that I will talk about when your dad comes back. ”

Qiao Mu asked, "Didn't my dad come home?"

Qiao Shan said: "At the end of the year, a lot of things have to be explained clearly. Your dad is so busy right now that he often doesn't come back until two or three in the morning, and it's not even when he doesn't come home. ”

Qiao Mu frowned, then nodded and said, "Then you rest first." Something to say tomorrow morning, I'll go get something to eat first. ”

……

Two large plates of steamed dumplings, dipped in peanut butter, were rested on the edge of the bath.

Qiao Mu was a little hungry, but also a little sleepy.

He lay on the edge and ate with a fork.

Shi Ye crossed his knees and looked at the TV series being broadcast on Jade Channel on the wall.

Qiao Mu felt very puzzled, and he said, "Do you understand Cantonese?"

Shi Ye shook his head and said, "I don't understand." ”

Qiao Mu smiled: "I don't understand, what's the point of that? Come here, eat some steamed dumplings." ”

Shi Ye walked over slowly, lay on his back, and said, "Does your mother dislike me?"

Qiao Mu said, "No. If my mom doesn't like you, she won't bother to look at you, let alone talk to you. She's just tired, she usually sleeps before 10. As a result, they had to pick us up in the middle of the night. As a result, you are too shy again, shouting Mom, you are shouting so quietly, she must be in a bad mood. ”

Shi Ye said: "Then why doesn't your mother arrange for someone else to pick it up? Also, I see that your family is so big, why don't you have a subordinate?"

Qiao Mu said with a smile: "I haven't seen me for more than half a year, and I finally went back to Huadu, my mother definitely wants to pick me up in person." As for the next person, you think too much, but the nanny has one. However, Aunt Hua also slept, so you didn't see it. By tomorrow morning, you will be able to see Aunt Hua, and the dishes she cooks are much more delicious than those I make. ”

Shi Ye asked again: "Then there are some things in your mother's mouth, what is it?"

Qiao Mu inserted a steamed dumpling, turned around and handed it to Shiye's mouth.

Shi Ye smiled comfortably, when Qiao Shan was next to her, she always felt unnatural. When she was alone with Qiao Mu, she could be herself again, she pinched Qiao Mu's face and said, "It's really good, I didn't hurt you in vain." ”

Qiao Mu followed her hand and shook her head. He said, "My face will be torn by you." ”

Shiye's thinking was a little jumpy, and she said: "As soon as you say this, I suddenly found that your mother is a little old." ”

Qiao Mu patted her on the shoulder and said, "Why is it always 'your mother'? That's our mother." ”

Shi Ye smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, how old is our mother?"

Qiao Mu ate steamed dumplings and said, "Age, don't ask, my mother doesn't like others to ask." When my mom was younger, she also worked in the group. She was so tired that she grew old fast. She stayed at home only after the group went public. She is used to wearing no makeup, and she has no habit of maintenance, so it is normal for her to look a little old. However, when my mom was young, she was really beautiful. ”

Qiao Mu got up from the bath, he ran to the place where his clothes were rested, and took out Shiye's customized rice.

He returned to the bath and turned on the screen, he clicked on Miyun and entered a series of passwords. He said: "In your mobile phone, I have a cloud disk that stores a lot of photos of my home. You see, this is a family photo from when I was a child, isn't my mother very beautiful?"

It was a black and white photo.

A group photo of a thin young man who looks very similar to Qiao Mu and a girl who smiles particularly sunny and beautiful. In the middle of them, there is also such a child in open crotch pants.

Shi Ye pointed to the child's Ding Ding and said, "It turns out that you always wore open crotch pants when you were a child?"

Qiao Mu said with disdain: "Isn't it normal? ”
