Xia Xiang saw that she was blunt, so she took it unceremoniously: "Although I have always been kind and do not want to reciprocate, but seeing that you are sincere, I accepted it...... Thank you. ”

Xia Xiang, who was rejuvenated from the inside out, came out of the bathroom, which caused Cao Shumu to praise again and again: "Although it doesn't look very white, it's much more pleasing to the eye when you change into new clothes." Well, no one dislikes our drivers for being disheveled. ”

Xia Xiang was dressed in new clothes, and he was also a talent, which caused a few passing girls to take a few more looks. He looked at Cao Shumu and Lian Ruohan, and saw that the two of them were satisfied, thinking that the two of them really had no worries about food and clothing since they were children, and the clothes and shoes they bought for him were all famous brands, and they were also the most expensive brands that could be seen in Yan City.

Cao Shumu looked at the shirt and pants, and even Ruohan looked at the shoes, judging from the approving eyes of the two of them, they were all satisfied with their eyes.

After getting back on the road, Cao Shumu sat in the passenger seat and said to Xia Xiang: "Even if my sister wants to take a break, I will reluctantly talk to you, so that you don't have to fall asleep and drive the car into the ditch, it will be miserable." ”

Xia Xiang guessed her careful thoughts: "Don't you want to sit close to me, so that you can admire my handsomeness up close?" ”

Cao Shumu closed his eyes: "I fell asleep, I didn't hear what you said." ”

The sun is shining, and the Land Rover is roaring past, facing the rising sun and heading towards a single city.

…………………… Xia Cheng is 48 years old this year and gave birth to two sons, the eldest son Xia Xiang and the second son Xia An. Xia Cheng is a traditional and honest worker, who has been a warehouse keeper in the first construction company of Shancheng City for a lifetime, and has always been conscientious, and he and his wife Zhang Lan have done their best to maintain the life of the family.

Xia Xiang was admitted to the university in Yan City, and after graduating from college, he had to stay in Yan City, originally he didn't agree at first, and wanted Xia Xiang to return to his side, at least he worked for a single city for decades, and the company's big and small leaders would sell him a face, and it would not be a problem to arrange a job. But Xia Xiang wanted to stay in Yan City, saying that it was for his own struggle. In fact, Xia Cheng knew in his heart that Xia Xiang wanted to be with Yang Bei.

Xia Cheng doesn't like Yang Bei, he always thinks that she is a little childish, not generous enough, although she looks pretty good, but she always gives people a feeling of being stingy. He once went to Yan City to visit Xia Xiang, and happened to meet Xia Xiang and Yang Bei together, although Yang Bei called "uncle" sweetly, he just nodded and did not respond.

In private, he also told Xia Xiang directly, hoping that he could find a generous and decent girlfriend, whether he is beautiful or not is secondary, the key is to treat people and things, and be generous. Xia Xiang agreed, but didn't say much. Xia Chengcheng knew that Xia Xiang did not go to his heart, he understood Xia Xiang, his eldest son had his own ideas about doing things since he was a child, and he would not change it easily, once he decided something, it was useless to persuade him. is not like the second child Xia An, whose surname is soft, listen to him, so when Xia An was admitted to school, he said that he did not let him go to Yan City to go to university, but let Xia An go to Shancheng University.

When Xia Xiang graduated from college, he had to stay in Yan City, he was not very happy, but he didn't want to delay Xia Xiang's future, so he fought hard to find Cao Yongguo's younger brother Cao Yongwang and begged him to come forward to Yan City to beg his director brother. Fortunately, although Cao Yongguo was the director of the bureau, his attitude was very harmonious, and in the end, Xia Xiang stayed in Yan City smoothly, but Yang Bei returned to Ba County because he did not find the receiving unit, and Xia Cheng was both relieved and worried.

Fortunately, Yang Bei returned to his hometown, and he should not be with Xia Xiang anymore. What I'm worried about is that Xia wants to struggle alone in Yan City, without relatives and no reason, when will he be able to afford to buy a house? can't afford to buy a house, whose daughter is willing to marry him?

As a parent, there is always an endless heart. Not long after, Xia Xiang was transferred from Sanjian to Li Dingshan's company, although the establishment seems to be better than Sanjian, but Xia Cheng always felt that it was not very reliable, and always felt that Li Dingshan's company was not as famous as the provincial Sanjian, and it was famous. Sure enough, it didn't take long for him to hear that the company's efficiency was not good, and Xia Xiang was going to change jobs again, he hated the iron and scolded Xia Xiang, saying that he was tossing blindly, not at ease at work, jumping around and jumping to the end, not to mention what kind of fame he could mix, and it would be good to have food and clothing in the end.

Who would have thought that it didn't take long for Xia Xiang to follow Li Dingshan to Ba County and become Li Dingshan's secretary, and Li Dingshan became the secretary of the county party committee! Where is Ba County, whether it is poor or rich, Xia Cheng has no concept, what he knows is that the secretary of the county party committee is an official, and he is generally a more promising official, or a department level, two levels higher than the general manager of their single city and a building, Xia Xiang is his secretary, will he have a great future?

Xia Cheng didn't have much to think about Jackie Chan, he just hoped that Xia Xiang would be safe and sound, not make a lot of money, at least live a well-off life, be able to afford a house, marry a wife, and have a home in Yan City, he would be satisfied. Xia Cheng, who was born as a worker, will not have the unrealistic fantasy that his ancestor Ji Dexia wants to rise to prominence, and he also knows that no one above can't be an official, as long as Xia wants to follow Li Dingshan without suffering or being tired, have a stable income, and marry a wife and have children, he will laugh.

Yesterday, I received a call from Xia Xiang, saying that I wanted to go home to see, Xia Cheng was so happy that he couldn't close his mouth, changed his bad mood a few days ago, and asked Zhang Lan to quickly clean up the room, clean up, and let her give Bao Xia Xiang's favorite tomato-stuffed dumplings, which made his wife very dissatisfied, blaming him for being eccentric, only the eldest in his eyes, not the second. Xia Cheng said with a smile: "The second child is by his side, eat your meals every day, how many meals does the eldest eat all year round?" You still blame me, who still goes to the night market to buy tomatoes at night? ”

are all sons, where does Zhang Lan have a reason not to hurt? It's just that she also has a lot of opinions about Xia wanting to stay in Yan City, thinking that he is wandering outside alone, he can't eat or dress well, and he can't take care of himself, what's so good about Yan City, isn't it just that there are more people than a single city, and they don't eat and dress differently? Xia Cheng's stubbornness to Zhang Lan was not to explain or argue, and she was forced to be anxious, so there was an old saying back: "If I hadn't come out to wander back then, wouldn't the family still be in the countryside now?" ”

Xia Cheng and Zhang Lan were still in the countryside of their hometown when they got married, and after they got married, they had Xia Xiang, so he was recruited into the city by Shancheng Yijian, and worked hard for more than ten years before he had a place to live in Shancheng and took the family to the city. So every time Zhang Lan has an opinion about Xia Xiang, he uses this cliché to talk back to the past, and every time Zhang Lan is speechless and doesn't say more.

As soon as the morning dawns, Xia Cheng wakes up early, and while tidying up the house, he stands at the window and looks around. Zhang Lan said angrily: "It's so early, where did it come from?" You're really, you're all too old, and you're still so breathless. ”

Xia Chengle said happily: "The boss has the most ideas, and he is also the most heart-wrenching, finally come back, can I be a little eager?" ”

"Okay, who dares to say you can't?" Zhang Lan began to make faces, she tied her apron, remembered the matter of the second Xia An, and sighed again, "The boss became the secretary of the county party secretary, and it is estimated that even if he is a state personnel in the future, he will definitely be able to pay his salary on a monthly basis, what do you say about the work of the second child?" He graduated from a junior college and studied Chinese, and he couldn't get into a good unit, so he was worried to death. ”

After graduating from junior college this year, Cheyenne has not yet found a formal job. The summer cost came to let Xia An enter a single city to build, and I also talked to the manager, and the manager nodded and agreed to let Xia An enter the office as a clerk, but before he could receive Xia An, the manager was transferred, and the new manager was not good at talking, and he didn't sell Xia Cheng face, and he choked Xia Cheng enough, but there was no way.

Zhang Lan is blamed for his achievements in the summer: "Today is the boss's return, it's a good thing, don't mention things that don't go well." Wait until he leaves, I've been in Shancheng for decades, can I still find him a job? By the way, why hasn't the second child come over yet, give him a call and ask him to bring his girlfriend when he comes, so that the boss can see that he knows what he knows. He is the elder brother, and the matter of getting married and having children has to be in order, if the eldest does not get married, the second has to wait. ”

Shan Cheng Yi Jian divided the last batch of welfare housing, and Cheng also grabbed a set in the summer, and spent 50,000 or 60,000 yuan to buy a house of more than 60 square meters for Xia An, which was kept for his marriage. Xia An's girlfriend Xu Ning is his college classmate, a native of Shancheng City, and her family is quite a bit of a door, so she was arranged to work in the district political axe organ. Xia An didn't find a job for a long time, although Xu Ning didn't say anything, her family had some opinions, and they wanted Xu Ning to cut off contact with Xia An.

Xia Cheng also heard Xia An talk about the dissatisfaction of Xu Ning's family, he was also anxious, he felt that Xu Ning was a good girl, and he couldn't delay the big things of the two of them because of work, if Xia Xiang didn't come back suddenly, he still wanted to find the manager again today to see if he could give more gifts and let the manager relax.

But since the boss is coming back, Xia Cheng has to put the second child's affairs aside.

Zhang Lan called, saying that Xia An had gone to pick up Xu Ning and would be back soon. Xia An lives in another house, in the same family home, and it is only a few minutes' walk away, which also happens to meet Zhang Lan's requirements. Raising children to prevent old age, the eldest is not around, and the second child has to stay by his side.

After a while, Cheyenne and Xu Ning arrived. Xia An and Xia Xiang look a little similar, a little whiter than Xia Xiang, but they are not as tall as him, they look a little weak, and they speak softly, and they know that their surnames are not strong at a glance. Xu Ning is petite, belonging to a relatively round type, with a small round face that is very happy, and a smile is as flattering as a doll. The two of them are quite diligent, as soon as they enter the door, they help Zhang Lan work, one cleans, the other helps in the kitchen, and the family is also harmonious.

Summer Cheng is idle, so if you take the train, you should arrive in an hour. If you're in a car, you can't do it. He came to the window with his hands behind his back, and looked out of the window habitually, and saw a tall car coming from a distance, the car was a brand he had never seen, and it was also a Beijing license plate, and he thought to himself, who is the relative of the capital? This car is powerful enough, I'm afraid it's worth a lot of money, right?

As soon as this thought flashed, I found that the car turned a corner and drove directly towards Building One. Then I passed by the four units and did not stop, and drove to the first unit in one breath before stopping. Xia Cheng wondered even more, he had lived in a unit for several years, and he hadn't heard of anyone with relatives in the capital, and the car was parked at the door of the unit, was he looking for the wrong person?

In line with the idea of kind-hearted guidance, it is convenient to push the door out in the summer, and it is convenient to live on the first floor, so you don't have to go downstairs, you can come out at any time. He came to the car, and as soon as the car stopped, he couldn't wait to knock on the window and ask, "Who are you looking for?" I live here, I am more familiar, I can ask whoever I want. ”

The window didn't open, but the door opened, and a young man in new clothes came out of it, and when he saw him, he said with a smile on his face: "Don't look for anyone, Dad, it's me!" ”

Xia Cheng was a little stunned, the rising sun was a little dazzling, he was shaken by the sun, he didn't see clearly, he took a step back before he woke up, and when he saw that the person who got out of the car turned out to be the boss he had been talking about, his brain instantly short-circuited, how could it be? The car with the Beijing license plate, is Xia want to drive? Don't say he has no money to buy a car, even if he buys a car, he can't get a license plate in Beijing, what is going on?

Before he could think about how much the car was worth, the back door opened, and two more flower-like girls came down, one in front of him was wearing a bright blue skirt, bright and shiny, so beautiful that he couldn't say, how many times better than the people on TV, came to him with a smile, and called out crisply: "Uncle Xia is good!" ”

Xia Cheng grinned, he wanted to speak but didn't say it, he was a little skeptical if he was dreaming now? Isn't it too much to miss the boss, dreaming in a dream that he is coming back - driving a car, and a beautiful girl, no, it's two!

The girl in the professional suit in the back, although her expression was a little colder, her eyebrows and eyes were as delicate as a painting, no, it was better than a painting, just like a fairy in the sky, and she also called "Uncle Xia" very politely. Xia Cheng nodded mechanically, his brain couldn't turn around, until Xia Xiang grabbed his arm, he still stomped his feet in disbelief, and felt a numb feeling on his feet, so he came to his senses a little, and asked in a trembling voice: "Boss, who are they?" ”

Xia Xiang didn't expect his father's first sentence, so he asked Cao Shumu and Lian Ruohan, he stretched out his hand to pull Cao Shumu over, and smiled: "Dad, you've seen her, don't you know her?" ”

Xia Cheng actually recognized who Cao Shumu was, the last time he went to Director Cao's house, Cao Shumu left a very deep impression on him, and it was difficult to remember it. It's just that he couldn't believe that the person in front of him was really the director's daughter, how could the dignified director's daughter get out of the car with Xia Xiang?

Cao Shumu was a little shy, but he still said generously: "Uncle Xia, I'm Cao Shumu, didn't you see me last time you went to my house?" Did I slack you back then, and now I am not welcome to come to my house? ”

Xia Cheng saw that Xia wanted to hold Cao Shumu's hand, and suddenly understood, his heart was as sweet as eating honey, and his heart was happy, okay, stinky boy, really fight for your father, last time I said that you can find the daughter of the county-level director Even if you have the ability, I didn't expect that you also found the daughter of Director Cao, who has a long face and ability, thinking like this, he smiled on his face: "Shu Mucuna is here, welcome, really welcome!" Xia thinks that you are really, Shu Mucuna didn't say anything in advance when he came, let me prepare well, I thought you would come back alone......"

Cao Shumu introduced Lian Ruohan again: "Her name is Lian Ruohan, she is my good friend, accompany me and Xia Xiang to come back to see, it just so happened that she had a car, so we got her light and drove back." ”

In front of Lian Ruohan's coldness and indifference, Xia Cheng felt uncomfortable, so he nodded his head to express his gratitude. Lian Ruohan smiled and hurriedly said no.

The group entered the house, Zhang Lan, who was facing each other, heard the sound, came out to take a look, and saw that the living room was full of people, his son Xia wanted to stand in the middle, Xia Cheng was smirking on the side, and was about to scold Xia Cheng for two sentences, how to stand and talk, but suddenly found that there were two radiant beauties next to him, and they were also stunned and speechless.

I used to hear people say that fairies and fairies were fairies, and I never knew what fairies looked like, but now the two people in front of me are not fairies? Zhang Lan's hands were covered with white face, standing at the door of the kitchen, her eyes were straight, but there was a sentence in her heart that turned over and over, my good girl, whose daughter is so good-looking? What a blessing to have a daughter-in-law!

Xu Ning also ran out of the kitchen to take a look, and immediately exclaimed: "Xia An, come out to see the beauty." ”

An exclamation woke everyone up, Xia Xiang hurriedly helped everyone introduce, and after a long time of cold noise, not only did it not calm down, but became more and more noisy. Xu Ning's surname is also crazy, and he is also familiar, and he is the same age as Cao Shumu and Lian Ruohan, so he talks to Cao Shumu endlessly. Lian Ruohan doesn't talk much, but he is also very patient, asking and answering, and he is not annoyed at all. After a while, the three girls mingled.

Seeing an opportunity, Zhang Lan glanced at Xia Cheng, Xia Cheng found a reason for Xia Xiang to come to the bedroom, Xia An also came in with a smile, and the family closed the door and took a pose to interrogate Xia Xiang.

"Think about it, tell me, what's going on with those two girls?" Zhang Lan pretended to be stern, but there was obviously a hint of anticipation and nervousness, as if she was afraid that Xia wanted to say an answer she didn't want to hear.

"Brother, which one is your girlfriend? You're so powerful, such a beautiful girl can listen to you, and I admire you so much now. Cheyenne said with an envious look on her face, and looked back from time to time, even though she couldn't see anything through the door.

"Don't say it, let me tell you, I can guess a ** not far from ten." Xia Cheng seemed to be more than ten years younger all of a sudden, and he was so happy that his face was full of wrinkles and squeezed together, "Shu Mu is Director Cao's precious daughter, if I'm not mistaken, she is a little interesting to you, and I also think that she can talk and come to things, and she looks the most thoughtful." That Lian Ruohan looks like a painting, she is a little cold, not easy to approach, boss, don't make friends with her, she speaks coldly, there is no human touch. ”

Xia wanted to see the solemn appearance of the family, and couldn't help laughing: "Mom and Dad, you are too careful, Shu Muli and I are just ordinary friends now, she is also my alumni, we have done design together, I just want to go home to see, she is also going to come back to see her grandparents, so she will come back together, don't talk nonsense." ”
