Chapter Fifty-Nine: Turning to the Countryside
Sixiao returned to Shanghai. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
After he arrived in Beijing, he began to go to Japan, and just after he had an eyebrow, he heard about the change in his family and hurried back.
He can't catch his uncle, and he can't pay compensation, but as the eldest son, it's always a gesture to come back.
ββSpeaking of compensation, he helped the Xu family out of the siege.
As mentioned earlier, Si Ling's money is divided into three parts, one part is deposited as a fund, which can only be accessed after adulthood or after the parents sign and agree, one part is daily expenses, which must be reported to the house, and the last small part is the pocket money that can be used freely. Although Sixiao has gone to college, the composition of his property is the same as that of his sister.
He was able to repay the loan sharks and had to use the funds in his own name. Because there are several definitions of "adulthood" in this fund, one of which is marriage.
He is engaged, and he is an adult who can take charge of his own affairs and manage his own funds.
Mrs. Chen waited for him to nod for a long time, and suddenly heard his affirmation, and was surprised, but she was very suspicious: "It's not to repay the debts of the Xu family, you said that you want to marry Sun Jing." β
"Not really. Mom," Si Xiao looked calm, "A-Ning is Si Ling's hair small. Si Ling is just such a friend, taking care of Ah Ning, and having the right to coax Si Ling. I'm thinking about this age, and I'm so settled. β
There wasn't much joy in the tone. A mature man facing a major marriage event should not jump up and somersault like a child taking candy. His tone is thoughtful and reliable. That's enough.
"Great," Mrs. Chen stood up excitedly, "I really didn't expect your marriage to be decided like this." Ahh I blurted out this sincere sentence. Si Xiao is what she already regards as a son in her heart. The son has grown up and can get engaged, but the engagement is still the young lady she fancies! Didn't mess with her at all! In addition to joy, she hesitated a little: "Really fancy Sun Jing?" Is she good enough for you? Do you want to pick again? β
Si Xiao was moved by her such sincere love, and smiled and said deliberately: "Mother is right." Then pick and choose. For example, a certain lady, a certain lady......"
"Ah, that young lady is a hell! Another young lady, good and bad temper, do you go to flatter her? I can't bear it! Mrs. Chen exclaimed, laughing and wiping her eyes, "Then I'll tell your father to go!" -- The engagement is really betrothed! Xiao'er, have you made up your mind? You can't turn your head and make the child angry and say that she doesn't want her anymore. β
"Why not?" Si Xiao smiled, "Mother hasn't seen her for so many years, it's good." β
"The key is to be good to you, and the family background is also worthy of our family. Over the years, she has become more and more calm, and she is filial to me, which is really difficult for her. Mrs. Chen nodded and sighed, "She has finally achieved positive results!" Alas, this kid is not easy either. Then I'll tell your father! Prepare your engagement feast for you! Choosing a dress for your engagement - ah, Mrs. Sun doesn't know how happy she is! β
"Hmm." Si Xiao said, "Second sister, I'll talk to her." β
Mrs. Chen answered.
Si Ling was locked in the house to do his homework, and he had heard the joy outside, wondering: Is his father promoted again? Which relative is coming? I ignore it. Si Xiao came into the house. Si Ling looked up at him and smiled, "It's just in time!" Did you hear me out there? What do they do? β
Si Xiao smiled, put his hands in his trouser pockets, closed the door with his feet back, walked to Si Ling's side, looked down at her, and said, "I have something to tell you." Xu Ning's debt, don't worry. I told my mother that I would help her pay it back. β
Si Ling was overjoyed: "I know you have a way!" ββIs there anything else? He looked at him in disbelief.
"Also, I'm getting engaged."
Si Ling was completely speechless for a while.
"With Sun Jing." Si Xiao said.
"Oh...... Sister Jing. Si Ling said slowly.
She, of course. There is no other suitable person than her. But it's weird...... It's so strange, Si Ling can't even tell what's strange.
"You still don't like her?" Si Xiao said worriedly.
Si Ling shook his head: "I'm not so willful anymore. But big brother, why did you suddenly like her? β
Si Xiao smiled: "There's nothing wrong with her." β
"What about love?"
"It's really ...... to love this kind of thing" Si Xiao shook his head, "Sister, who do you love?" Jiang Chu people? Or is it that Tao Kun? β
He also heard about Jiang Churen's change of heart, and heard that Si Ling left the Xu family with Tao Kun. He was actually a little worried about Siling's financial tension, so he gave the money to Tao Kun. Xu Ning didn't have so many mouths, it was Jiang Churen who told Si Xiao out of concern for Si Ling.
Si Ling changed color.
Si Xiao said, "No matter who you choose, I will support you." But always find someone who can take care of you. Tao Kun's profession is difficult after all, I am afraid that you will suffer. Jiang Chu people, alas, treat Xu Ning like this, how can I rest assured that I will hand you over to him? β
Speaking of which, neither of them is suitable.
So who is suitable?
Si Xiao turned his head and said haha: "In short, don't be in a hurry, pick slowly." Father, mother, you don't have to worry. I have engaged to a marriage that satisfies them, and I am qualified and able to cover you. β
"You-you weren't engaged in a hurry for me, were you!" There was no expression of gratitude on Si Ling's face at all.
"Aha, how is it possible, if you want to do it, it is also for Xu Ning......"
"What?!"
"Well, let's put it this way, we're really playing a bit big these days, and the patience of parents always has a bottom line. I think I'm also my age, and Sun Jing has always been ...... to me Ahem, you also know that you can't always bully people like this, there must be an explanation. It's better to settle down, she is really good to me, and everything comes along with me. I'm also a family, and my parents have to respect me more and can't treat me like a child. If my parents are angry about my transfer, I can still hide from her, maybe Uncle Sun will be willing to take me in! Haha-"
His smile never made Si Ling so sad again. If he really wants to have something, anything, Si Ling is willing to take him in...... But Si Ling couldn't stand on his own, let alone take in others. She had never been so ashamed of being idle and useless.
"So-" Si Xiao wanted to make a summary statement, expressing optimism and encouragement, but he couldn't find the words for a while. What's worse is that his throat seems to be a little terrier.
"Then," Si Ling also felt the need to summarize his remarks and save the scene for his eldest brother, "Congratulations!" β
"Uh...... "Si Xiao scratched his head, "yes?" Haha......"
