"Bell~~" The retro wall clock in the study cut through the silence of the room, Lin Xigu subconsciously glanced at the wall, it was six o'clock.

"Alright, it's not a problem. Guoqiang, don't forget that you were not also a penniless poor boy at the beginning, I didn't give my daughter to you the same, and now it's not good to have a family, and the young people's affairs will be solved by the young people themselves, and the children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, so we don't need to worry about the elders, Xiaoxi, this little girl, I like it very much, so it's decided. Following the abrupt sound of the bell, Zhu Yuwen, who had not expressed his position, suddenly opened his mouth to break the silence of the room, "Xiaoxi, come, old man, I'm hungry, let's eat." ”

Lin Xigu carried Zhu Yuwen downstairs, and after a while, Xu Yinuo and Xu's father and mother also went downstairs, and dinner officially began.

"Pick a good day to get engaged first, Arnold, you are not young, it's time to get married. Halfway through the meal, Xu Guoqiang's words made Lin Xigu's heart finally fall after hanging all night.

Mother Xu didn't object anymore, but told the two of them, "If you are together, you can live a good life, the writer can't resist you, the road is your own choice, if something goes wrong in the future, you can only take care of it yourself, marriage is not child's play." ”

Lin Xigu and Xu Yinuo could only nod obediently, and smiled at each other, and finally, they passed this level together.

It was almost twelve o'clock when he returned home from dinner at Xu's house, and Xu Yinuo proposed to go to the square to watch the fireworks.

As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Xigu heard a loud noise above the sky, and the dark night sky was instantly lit up by a bright light.

"It's beautiful. Xu Yinuo took off a coat of his from the car and draped it over Lin Xigu.

Lin Xigu turned his head and tore off a big smile at Xu Yinuo, "Well, it's so beautiful, it's a pity." ”

"I mean man, wife, you're so beautiful. Xu Yinuo said and pulled Lin Xigu into his arms, and gently rubbed the top of her hair, "Wife, I love you." ”

"Well, I love you too, husband. Lin Xigu stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the lips, stretching out the tip of his tongue along the lip line.

Xu Yinuo looked at Lin Xigu's half-squinted eyes attentively, his long eyelashes hung on his eyelids, casting a beautiful shadow under the fireworks, and couldn't help biting her tongue wandering on her lips, sucking and tearing it for a long time.

In the following days, Lin Xigu and Xu Yinuo were busy visiting relatives and friends.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Lin Xigu took Xu Yinuo to his aunt's house.

"Actually, I haven't been here for a long time, and I only made a phone call back in the first month of last year. As she walked to the door, Lin Xigu suddenly realized that she didn't have the courage to ring the doorbell, a place where she had lived for less than a decade had too many memories that she didn't want to mention.

Xu Yinuo's arm holding her shoulder was bent tightly, and he stretched out his right hand and pressed the doorbell for her, "Don't worry, auntie, she won't say that you have no conscience." ”

A joke that is not funny, but Lin Xigu somehow has a much brighter mood, in fact, she doesn't want to come back, if her aunt hadn't taken her in after her parents left, she wouldn't know where Lu Dao would be now, but in the past few years of this family, Lin Xi Gu knew that she was not happy, and even lived a worrying day, and now standing in front of this door again, all kinds of things from childhood have surfaced in her mind one by one, the death of her mother, the death of her father, the departure of her brother, and the broken family overnight, these are the past things that she usually does not want to touch。

The memory was interrupted by the metallic sound of the door opening, Zhang Xiaoqian was obviously stunned when she saw Xu Yinuo's face, but when she moved her eyes back and saw Lin Xigu, she was relieved.

"Auntie. Lin Xigu said hello and pulled Zhang Xiaoqian back from her stunnedness.

"Come on, come in. Zhang Xiaoqian opened the door wide and made a way for Lin Xigu and Fang Shiqi to come in.

After changing her shoes at the entrance, Zhang Xiaoqian led the two to the living room.

"It's been renovated, I remember it wasn't like that before. As soon as Lin Xigu entered the door, he felt that the layout of the house had changed, and when he arrived in the living room, he saw the new furniture and wallpaper, which confirmed this idea.

Zhang Xiaoqian glanced at Xu Yinuo, and said a little uncomfortable casually.

Lin Xigu only cared about visiting the new environment and didn't notice her strangeness, although she didn't know how to decorate, but even a layman could see that the decoration of this house should be very exquisite.

"Auntie, it cost a lot of money, is it enough? I still have some money, if I borrow it, I can use it first to pay it back." Lin Xigu looked up at the luxurious crystal chandelier above his head and asked, if it wasn't lit, it was already so flashing, Lin Xigu really couldn't imagine how dazzling it would be when it was lit up at night.

"No, no. Zhang Xiaoqian seemed to be a little weak-hearted, just lowered her head and poured tea for them, "In the past few years, your uncle's small factory has also made a lot of money, and life is still passable." ”

"Oh, by the way, what about my uncle, why didn't I see him?" Lin Xigu pulled Xu Yinuo to sit down on the sofa after visiting the new house.

"He still has dinner in the evening. Zhang Xiaoqian put the steaming ceramic cup on the coffee table opposite Xu Yinuo, "I don't know what to call it, Xiaoxi, why don't you introduce it?"

After she asked, Lin Xigu remembered that Zhang Xiaoqian didn't know who Xu Yinuo was.

"Oh, I forgot, this is Xu Yinuo. ”

"Auntie, just call me Arnold. Xu Yinuo raised his usual polite smile, but the microwaves circulating under his eyes revealed his emotions, of course, Lin Xigu, who was sitting beside him, didn't notice all this.

I don't know if Xu Yinuo's eyes are too intimidating, Zhang Xiaoqian nodded a little crampedly, turned to Lin Xi's consultant and said, "Boyfriend?"

"Well, I should have brought it back to show you and my uncle, but the corners of my mouth were too busy, so I had to take advantage of the New Year's greetings. Lin Xigu's face was not red, and his heart was not beating and he said polite words.

"Okay, Xiaoxi, you have found a good home, and my aunt will rest assured, Mr. Xu is a good person. After Zhang Xiaoqian finished speaking, she realized that something was wrong, looked up at Xu Yinuo, and sure enough, his expression on his face, which was still smiling just now, suddenly tensed.

Lin Xigu didn't care much, when Zhang Xiaoqian said this, she only regarded it as a scene, she didn't know Xu Yinuo, how could she know that the Daoist family was a good person and a good destination.

"Alright, it's not too early, it's time for me to get ready. Zhang Xiaoqian got up and walked to the kitchen as she spoke.

"Auntie, it's only three o'clock, just the two of us, don't be in such a hurry. Lin Xigu shouted as she looked at her back as she hurriedly left.

Zhang Xiaoqian didn't turn around, just stopped and said, "Are you coming back, Mr. Xu is also here for the first time, I will make you a good meal." ”

Lin Xi couldn't persuade her and didn't say anything.

"Don't you think Auntie is a little strange today?" said Lin Xi as the figure walked away.

Xu Yinuo raised the teacup, took a sip and put it down, and shook his head slightly, "Really, I can't see it." ”

"yes, you don't know how you know how she used to be. Lin Xigu muttered quietly.

Dinner was a little early, obviously there were only three people in total, but Zhang Xiaoqian actually made a table full of dishes, especially Lin Xigu's favorite braised pork was exaggerated with a bowl as big as a basin, seeing this Lin Xigu felt a little warmly moved in his heart, took a piece of chopsticks and took a bite, and whispered, "Aunt Xie Lu." ”

"Thank you, you rarely go home since you came back from Donglai, and you don't have a chance to cook something you love to eat, since you're here, eat more, Auntie, this is a secret recipe." Zhang Xiaoqian said and put several pieces on the plate in front of Lin Xigu.

After dinner, Lin Xigu took the initiative to ask Ying to take over the work of washing the dishes, Zhang Xiaoqian originally didn't let Lin Xigu insist, and Xu Yinuo helped on the side, she couldn't resist the two young people, so she could only go with her.

Xu Yinuo helped clean up the table and moved the things to be cleaned to the kitchen, and then retreated, and did not forget to close the door before leaving.

"Mr. Xu, I didn't expect you to be with Xiaoxi. Zhang Xiaoqian took the kettle to give him Xu Yinuo a refill, but his eyes still didn't dare to look at him.

"Auntie, forget about the past, now I'm Xiaoxi's boyfriend, and we will get engaged soon, I just said that you can call me Arnold, and Mr. Xu's call has always felt very rusty. Xu Yinuo's voice was a little cold.

"Xu... Arnold, I'm also very happy that Xiaoxi can follow you, you can rest assured that I won't say a word before, I just hope you treat her well, Xiaoxi's child is not easy, and I can't help her because of her parents, I really don't know that Lu Dao will be so serious, if it weren't for ......" Zhang Xiaoqian said and then her voice became a little trembling.

Xu Yinuo frowned and interrupted her impatiently, "Okay, since I've been hiding it for so many years, there's no need to take it out again, if you don't say that my people will also protect her, I will give everything that should be given, but this is the last time, that matter is over, I don't want to hear it again in the future, please take care of your husband, I can only give so much, you tell him to do it himself." Zhang Xiaoqian is also a person who can look at the eyes, and sure enough, she didn't speak anymore and just sat silently.

Xu Yinuo probably realized that his attitude was really a little too much, so he slowed down, changed his tone and continued, "Auntie, I sincerely call you Auntie, Xiaoxi has also been grateful for your care in the past few years." She is very good now, very happy, I just hope that she will not be entangled by the past again, and when the aunt-in-law comes back, you can tell him well, I am rich, but not wronged, knowing that the road is a bottomless pit and jumping down This kind of thing will be done by fools, I can continue to invest in your factory, but I will not give any more money in the future, and there will be more opportunities for a family to meet in the future, I only hope that you can stop mentioning this matter in front of Xiaoxi. ”

"I understand what you said, thank you, thank you, I ......"

As she was talking, the sound of the kitchen sliding door came and Zhang Xiaoqian stopped her mouth at the right time.

"Thank him for what?" Zhang Xiaoqian heard Lin Xigu's voice as soon as she finished speaking.

"Washed so soon?" Xu Yinuo looked at her wearing an apron and a pair of gloves in her hands, and added, "Still need help?"

"Well, the cupboard above is too tall for me to reach, you can help me. ”

"Know, little man. ”

"You're the little man!" Lin Xigu retorted dissatisfiedly, "I call this concentrated essence. ”

"What kind of crooked reasoning is this?" Xu Yinuo looked at her with a funny eyebrow after helping her put the washed dishes away.

Lin Xigu directly ignored his disdainful gaze and asked, "What were you talking about with your aunt just now?"

Xu Yinuo took a dry rag and helped Lin Xigu wipe the rest of the dishes, and said without raising his head, "It's nothing, it's just some elders' advice to the juniors, asking me to take good care of you." ”

"Really?" Lin Xi glanced at him suspiciously, how could she think that the atmosphere just now was more like Xu Yinuo was explaining something.

"Of course, otherwise what do you think it is?" Xu Yinuo took the rag and wiped it on her face.

Lin Xigu was successfully distracted by him, jumped away and screamed, "Xu Yinuo, that's a rag! It's dirty!

"It's not dirty, it's just used to wipe the water, it's clean. Xu Yinuo said and pretended to get the nose money and sniffed, and said, "Look, there is no smell at all." ”
