"Stinky boy, you still don't admit it, and you still want to play sloppy with your father?" Xia Chengcai didn't believe what Xia wanted to say, he made up his mind, "I'll ask Shu Mucuna in person in a moment to see what's going on?" People are boring, can they go home with you? You have so many female classmates, why didn't you bring one home? You're not too young, and if you don't find a girlfriend, the good girl will be robbed by others. ”

Dad's logic made Xia Xiang completely speechless.

He didn't mean to hide it, but when it came to it, between him and Cao Shumu, it had always been true or false, and it hadn't really been broken. Although he also knew Cao Shumu's thoughts about him, the girl was thin-skinned, and it would not be good if she thought too much if something was not right.

Although Xia Xiang also knows that although Cao Shumu also has a small surname, she is definitely a smart girl and will not embarrass people. But he didn't want to make a family around her, as if he was looking at his future daughter-in-law.

But things are often easy to develop in the opposite direction, Xia Xiang wanted to try his best to avoid Cao Shumu and his parents being alone, but he didn't know if Cao Shumu was intentional or his parents were intentional, Cao Shumu and them always seemed to have endless topics. The well-behaved and lovely Cao Shumu chatted with her parents very speculatively after a while, without the shelf of the director's daughter at all, and an uncle and an aunt, calling Xia Cheng and Zhang Lanxi smile, and the smiles on their faces were fixed, and they never stopped.

Instead, Xia Xiang and Lian Ruohan sat on the side, looking for something to say. Lian Ruohan had a faint sense of loss on her face, she looked at Cao Shumu with envy and helplessness, and said: "I really envy Mucuna girl, she is so smart, and she is very affinity, no matter what kind of person, she can get along and make people accept her." I'll never learn how clever she is, just sitting alone and admiring the joy of others. ”

Xia Xiangyou Lian Ruohan was a little surprised: "People are different, why do you have to envy others?" You are alone and cold, and quiet is also a kind of happiness......"

"You're laughing at me, Gu Ying's self-pity, right?" Lian Ruohan smiled rarely, not only did she look very good when she smiled, but her nose was wrinkled, and there was a hint of naughtiness, "I think in the eyes of your parents, no matter how much higher my status is than Mucuna Mucuna, they won't like me, right?" ”

"Some things can't be compared, ordinary people have ordinary happiness, and upper-class people have the happiness pursued by upper-class people, and the realm is different, and the vision is different." Xia Xiang glanced at Lian Ruohan with emotion, and when he saw the warm yearning in her eyes, he smiled, "You won't stay in a high place for a long time, feel cold, and want to fall into the mortal world and experience the warmth of the family?" ”

"It's, what's wrong? What do you care? Even Ruohan didn't know whether to be angry or coquettish, and said dissatisfiedly, "I've been alone for a long time, and suddenly I envy the warmth of the family......

Even Ruohan's words caused Xia Xiang's contemplation.

In his previous life, he and his parents got together less and separated more, and he did not fulfill his parents' wishes until he died, and what he did brought to his parents was probably only sadness and disappointment. Now that everything is starting over, he took Cao Shumu home, didn't he want to meet his parents' expectations of him, and let his parents know that he is actually capable of living a better life.

Seeing Cao Shumu maneuvering between her parents left and right, Xia Xiang smiled, this little girl is so smart, she is likable wherever she goes. Looking at the loving eyes of his parents when they looked at her, he couldn't help but sigh, the Mucuna girl clearly announced to his parents that she was his girlfriend, and she just wanted to preconceive in front of her parents and let her parents fully accept her! In the future, if Xia wants to have other ideas, and then wants to bring other girls home, without her coming forward, he will be strongly opposed by his parents first!

Xia Xiang also clearly saw that Cao Shumu also threw a cunning glance at him, which was clearly a little pride in the success of the plan!

So when Cao Shumu proposed to visit her grandparents, Xia Cheng and Zhang Lan both volunteered to accompany her, Cao Shumu wanted to wink at Xia: "It's okay, it's not far anyway, just let my uncle and aunt go with me, you have to be obedient, accompany Sister Lian, you know?" ”

Xia wanted to be made to cry and laugh by her girlfriend's disciplined tone, she was a few years younger than herself, and she still wanted to take care of herself, but she was reversed? However, seeing the happy smiles of her parents on the side, she also sold her face: "It's okay, remember to come back for dinner at noon, and go to your grandparents' house to eat at night." ”

"Got it!" Cao Shumu nodded very obediently, and gave him enough face in front of Xia Xiang's parents, "You have to remember to call my dad in a while to report his safety, don't let him worry about it." ”

The implication is that her relationship with him has been nodded by Cao Yongguo.

How could Xia Cheng and Zhang Lan not understand? The two of them were happy in their hearts, and they became in-laws with the director, and their son became the boyfriend of the director's daughter? Although Cao Shumu stood in front of them with a smile and a groan, they still felt a little dizzy, as if everything was in a dream.

Xia Xiang called over and said a few words, Cao Yongguo was at work, so he didn't say much.

There were only Xia Xiang, Lian Ruohan, Xia An, and Xu Ning left in the living room, and it was a lot more deserted all of a sudden. Xia An said a few words without words, he didn't dare to look at Lian Ruohan's eyes, her beauty was too amazing, people didn't dare to face it, but out of politeness, he still hesitated and asked, "Xiaolian is from the capital?" ”

Lian Ruohan nodded reservedly: "You are Xia Xiang's younger brother?" He doesn't look like him, doesn't he work? ”

Xia An turned his head and glanced at Xu Ning with a somewhat embarrassed expression: "Not yet, I haven't found a suitable unit." ”

Xu Ning took over: "The economy of Shancheng is underdeveloped, there are few good units, and if you want to enter a public institution, you have no way, so you have been dragging it out. Uncle Xia wanted to find someone to let him enter a single city to build, although the benefits of a construction were not very good, but it was better than nothing. Xu Ning talked a lot, maybe he was also a little touched, and glanced at Xia Xiang again, "Brother, I really want to be with Xia An, but my parents said that if Xia An can't find a good unit again, they want me to break off with him...... Cheyenne has admired you the most since she was a child, you can help us think of a way, okay? ”

Lian Ruohan chuckled: "How can your parents be like this?" Too snobbish and too realistic. ”

Xu Ning shook his head: "They are like that, I can't help it, after all, they are my parents, and the starting point is also for my good." ”

Xia Xiang saw Xia An lowering his head, his face flushed, and he thought that his younger brother was too faceless and too soft, and he had to ask Xu Ning to open his mouth if he had something. Thinking that his parents would have to rely on him to take care of him in the future, he asked Cheyenne: "What unit do you want to go into?" ”

Xia An Zhiwu said: "Xu Ning works at the district political axe, and I also want to go to the political axe agency." ”

"It's a bit difficult to go to the political axe agency, I'll help you ask first." He dialed Li Dingshan's phone and told Xia An about the situation.

Li Dingshan thought for a while and said: "It's not that I don't know each other with the municipal axe of the Shancheng City Party Committee, but I don't know each other well, and I still need to ask someone else." If you go to the single city to report, it is not a big problem, and it is also a career establishment. If not only the city league municipal committee is also sure, you can discuss it again and give me a call. ”

Xia wanted to talk about the situation, but Xia An hesitated: "Then the Youth League and Municipal Committee are okay, it is a cadre establishment, which is better than a newspaper." ”

Xia Xiang laughed angrily at him: "You are still young, you went to the newspaper office, worked hard for a few years, and then took a bachelor's degree, and you will have a great future in the future." Now that I have gone to the Youth League Municipal Committee, there is no pressure, and it will be difficult to develop in the future. ”

Xia An sulked his head: "I don't want to have much development, just keep my parents and live safely, in the future, the Xia family will be glorious and proud, and you will rely on you." ”

Xia Xiang wanted to scold him again, but suddenly his heart softened again, saying that his younger brother was unambitious, or that he was not enterprising, at least he was obedient and willing to guard his parents, which was the biggest guarantee and the strongest backing for him, and his parents would be much more comfortable if they had an obedient son by their side.

"Okay, I'll see if I can find someone to let you join the Youth League Municipal Committee." Xia wanted to pick up the phone and was about to call, but Lian Ruohan stretched out her hand to stop him, she tried to be approachable, but as soon as the words came out, there was still a hint of condescension.

"Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Shancheng City, is it Yang Xiaofeng?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, he called out the name of the secretary of the municipal party committee, and said it lightly, as if he was talking about an ordinary person, Xia An was originally timid, and he couldn't stand Lian Ruohan's compelling beauty, and when she said this, he was even more nervous: "It seems to be, I, I can't remember clearly." ”

Xu Ning nodded on the side: "Yes, it's Secretary Yang Xiaofeng ......" She also followed Cao Shumu and called Sister Lian Ruohan, "Sister Lian, do you know Secretary Yang?" ”

"I don't know." Lian Ruohan replied very simply, Xu Ning suddenly looked disappointed, and muttered in his heart, I don't know and ask? She was not good at concealment, and the expression on her face showed obvious displeasure.

Lian Ruohan turned a blind eye to Xu Ning's performance, and instead looked at Xia Xiang: "You say! ”

Xia Xiang smiled: "I owe you a favor, how can I pay it back?" ”

Lian Ruohan smiled: "I owe it first, and then I will ask for it when I think about it." She took out the phone and glanced at Cheyenne, "Do you want to enter the municipal party committee or the municipal axe?" ”

Xia An raised her head in disbelief, the municipal party committee and municipal axe were picked at will, what is her origin, and she speaks in such a loud tone? He knew that Xu Ning had spent a lot of effort to become a clerk in the district political axe, and he also gave a gift of 20,000 yuan. Even Ruohan opened his mouth and asked him to pick the municipal party committee or the municipal axe, isn't it a joke?

Even Ruohan's appearance was not a joke at all, she thought for a while: "I'll make the decision for you, go to the municipal party committee, and the future development will be better." But start with the clerk first, one step at a time. ”

"How much do you have to give?" Cheyenne reacted and asked cautiously. If he gave 180,000 yuan, he couldn't take it.

"Send money?" Lian Ruohan waved her hand, she was wearing a professional suit, and she really looked a bit like the majesty of a white-collar beauty, "If you go to give a gift, no one will dare to accept it." ”

If someone else said this, it would definitely make people feel ashamed and angry, but when the words came out of Lian Ruohan's mouth, it made people feel extremely credible. Cheyenne nodded gratefully: "Thank you, Sister Lian!" ”

Sister Lian called Lian Ruohan smiled, she picked up the phone, turned around and hid to the side to make a call, and came back after a while, saying, "Report your name, graduation school and ID number......"

Putting down the phone, Lian Ruohan said again: "Wait for the call back." ”

Xu Ning asked in disbelief: "Is it so easy to enter the municipal party committee?" Sister Lian, you didn't lie, did you? ”

Lian Ruohan glanced at Xia Xiang, but asked Xia Xiang: "Can I deceive people?" ”

"I don't know at other times, but not this time."

"You're interested." Even Ruohan didn't explain much, and the phone rang after a while, and she didn't avoid everyone anymore, answered the phone, listened for a while, and only said, "I know." He hung up.

Xia An and Xu Ning didn't dare to look at her, just waiting for her to speak. Even Ruohan didn't take care of it, and said simply: "Go to report next Monday, take your ID card and graduation certificate, and go directly to the municipal party committee to find Liu Yansong to go through the formalities." ”

"Minister Liu of the Propaganda Department of the Municipal Party Committee?" Xu Ning had obviously heard Liu Yansong's name and cried out in surprise. She was able to enter the district political axe to work, but also because of Liu Yansong's relationship, although she knew, she still gave a gift of 20,000 yuan.

Lian Ruohan smiled apologetically: "I don't know who Liu Yansong is, you can just go over directly, there will be no problem." If someone makes it difficult, call Xia Xiang directly. ”

Until Cao Shumu came back with Xia Cheng and Zhang Lan, Xia An and Xu Ning still didn't believe that Lian Ruohan had solved a big problem with a phone call, how many people dreamed of a good thing to work in the municipal party committee, and how many people couldn't find a way to send money, so they had to sigh with joy, she could solve the problem with a phone call, and she had to let the Minister of Propaganda personally come forward to receive her? How big is she?

Xu Ning secretly told Zhang Lan about it, Zhang Lan and Xia Cheng were also suspicious, and the two quietly asked Xia Xiang. Xia didn't want to explain too much, but just told them that it would never be fake.

During the meal, Xia Cheng was so happy that the eldest found a girlfriend of the director's daughter, and helped the second child solve the work problem, and even entered the municipal party committee, which was a good thing that he could never dream of. Xia Chengcheng drank a few more glasses, and after a while, he got drunk, and was helped down to sleep by Zhang Lan, and said before leaving: "Shumu, you thank Xiaolian for me, Xiaolian is a good girl, she doesn't talk much, but she has a good heart." ”

Zhang Lan kept giving Cao Shumu and Lian Ruohan vegetables, and also expressed her heartfelt thanks to Lian Ruohan: "Good girl, there is nothing delicious at home, just a little, don't dislike it." Cheyenne's business, but thank you. Shumu, thank you for your aunt's ......."

Xia An also drank several more glasses of wine, and with the strength of the wine, he and Xu Ning saluted Lian Ruohan together: "Sister Lian, you are my benefactor, you have kept the happiness of my life, I will never forget your kindness." He was not good at words, and before he finished a few sentences, his eyes were red.

Xu Ning remembered that her snobbish parents would look down on Xia An from now on, and they would definitely never stop her from being with Xia An again, and her heart was full of emotion: "Sister Lian, you are a good person, I thank you for a lifetime!" ”

Lian Ruohan has always been cold, she has never experienced such a strong family and friendship, she has always insisted on being reserved and indifferent, and there is a trace of warmth flowing in her heart, but she doesn't know what to say, so she has to look at Cao Shumu for help Cao Shumu also stood up and picked up the drink in front of her: "Sister Lian and I are like sisters, Xia Xiang and I are alumni, so don't be polite...... And you, Xia An, in the future, you must be kind to Xu Ning, be kind to your uncle and aunt, and work hard, so that you can live up to everyone's help and expectations for you. ”

Since Cao Shumu came, Xia An has not dared to look at his brother's little girlfriend, who is younger than him, but he wants to call his sister-in-law, he always feels a little awkward, but what he said just now is really a little sister-in-law's taste, he nodded, and drank the glass of wine: "I wrote it down, sister-in-law, I must listen to you." ”

"Thank you, sister-in-law!" Xu Ning also stood up and said something with a smile.

No matter how smart Cao Shumu is, he can speak, and he can't stand two people and a sister-in-law, and his face suddenly turned red with shame: "Don't scream, I didn't promise to be his girlfriend, let alone your sister-in-law!" ”

After eating, Xia Cheng, who had rested for a while, woke up again and had to sit down and talk. Cao Shumu glanced at Lian Ruohan, and the two slipped out under the pretext of not knowing what the secret was.

After a while, the two came back from outside, and took out a bunch of gifts like a trick, and they could clearly distinguish them, this was given to uncle by Cao Shumu, and this was given to aunt by Lian Ruohan, Xia Cheng and Zhang Lan were so happy that they didn't know what to say, and they wanted to excuse themselves but couldn't say Cao Shumu, so they had to accept them all. Xia Xiang smiled on the side and didn't speak, the little girl in her heart really bought people's hearts, but she was much smarter than him. He went to Cao's house many times, but he didn't remember to buy gifts for Uncle Cao and Aunt Wang.

The most surprising scene for Xia Xiang appeared, Cao Shumu finished delivering the gift, took out an envelope from the bag, and solemnly handed it to Zhang Lan: "Auntie, Xia Xiang and I designed a project together, the design cost is 50,000 yuan, and it is inconvenient for him to take it with him when he goes to Ba County, so he will hand it over to me for safekeeping." When I came back, I handed over the money to my aunt, who kept it for him. I'm still in school, so it's not convenient to keep so much money. ”

50,000 yuan is not a small amount, at that time, many people's annual salary was less than 5,000 yuan, where was Zhang Lan willing to ask for it, Cao Shumu had to put it in Zhang Lan's hands: "Xia Xiang can't always be by your side, he can't help it, put some money for you, he will feel better." If you don't accept it, he will feel bad in his heart......"

At this point, Zhang Lan had no choice but to accept it, wiping her tears happily, but she couldn't speak.

Lian Ruohan gently poked Xia Xiang with a finger, Xia Xiang saw her approving glance at Cao Shumu, knew what she meant, and also threw a grateful glance at Cao Shumu. Cao Shumu was a little embarrassed by the two, smiled shyly, and made a naughty grimace, which made Xia Xiang's heart pound.

As a human being in two lives, Xia Xiang had the idea of marrying this girl for the first time in his life!

Finally taking time to be alone with Cao Shumu, she playfully flicked a brain run on Xia Xiang's head: "You are usually very good at talking, why do you talk so little when you go home?" ”

"You've done all the good things, you've said all the good things, I can only watch and listen......" Xia Xiang sighed while grabbing Cao Shumu's little hand, "Mucuna girl, you are so good, whoever marries you will be the most blessed person." ”
