The box was small but elegantly furnished, and the two were arranged to sit together and listen to the two adults boasting to each other.

Ye Wentao raised his glass and said, "Expedition, I'm really curious, how do you educate children, it's really promising." If you want me to say, this compound will count the old man Li will teach his children and grandchildren, and your brothers and sisters are all pillars of the country. For this, let's go one too. ”

Li Yuanzheng smiled and touched the cup and took a sip: "Wen Tao is humble, who doesn't know your promotion history from the grassroots all the way to the present, this is a real thing to do and make achievements, if Zhuo Xin has half of your achievements in the future, I will be happy." I heard that your Ye Lin entered the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as soon as she returned to China, which is not easy. ”

Ye Wentao smiled when he heard him mention his resume: "Yes, I will report in the new year and study under your Li You." I heard that Xiaoxia also entered, and she will have some care in the future. ”

Listening to the two praising each other, Chen Ying turned his head and said, "Xiao Hua, why do I sound so harsh, I praise myself when I say it, and the feelings are nothing to do with us." This kid's talent is up to their master's ability. ”

Xiao Hua was not qualified to talk, but he was not good at being silent, and said with a smile: "But isn't it, you know how to take credit." By the way, Sister Ying, did the beauty salon you said last time open? When to check it out. ”

Chen Ying said unhappily: "Hey, don't mention it, bad luck." ”

Xiao Hua was puzzled: "What's wrong?" ”

Chen Ying drank bird's nest and said softly: "The partner who helped watch the store before was a third child, and a few days after it opened, people called the door, and most of the things in the store were smashed, and now people have run away. I have a lot of things to do, and I don't have the heart to deal with them, and I have to wait a while to reopen the door. ”

Xiao Hua felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the first half of the sentence, as if he was insinuating himself, but thinking that this was an opportunity, he asked with a shy face: "Didn't the partner be introduced by your mother's relatives?" How could this happen? Won't it be opened? ”

Chen Ying said disdainfully: "What relative, that is, my mother's niece and son-in-law, just took over the 'April Day', I heard that it is a good mix." However, after all, it is such a class of people, what good people can come into contact with. How, are you interested? ”

Li Zhuoxin vaguely heard the words 'April Day', suppressed the impatience in his heart, and ate and drank expressionlessly. As my uncle guessed, the Chen family really participated, maybe this is the breakthrough or not.

Xiao Hua smiled and said, "I'm interested, but you also know the situation of our family, what can Lao Li do with such a dead salary?" I just had a quota in the company, and I had to retire after a few years. ”

Chen Ying helped her clip an abalone, approached and whispered: "If you are interested, I will let go of the store to you, and I will not charge a penny, and it will be opened in four or six." ”

Xiao Hua's heart trembled, but after getting along for so many years, she knew this woman, and it was impossible for her to be so good for no reason. She said cautiously: "I think it's over, you also know our old man's temperament, he doesn't look down on me in the first place, and he doesn't want to make trouble." Besides, I don't have time. ”

Chen Ying knew that she was moved as soon as she saw her expression, but she was just pretending to be reluctant, although she was not happy to be a snake with her, but she could only endure it for the sake of her daughter. "I said why are you so brainless, what is the relationship between our two families, as long as Xiaoxin and my family Linlin become friends, and my mother-in-law helps my daughter-in-law Gu Dian, who can say anything." She straightened up and said with a smile: "You should have retired from your job a long time ago, this has been injured for a lifetime, what is there to remember." It's not that I'm talking about you, it's just admitting death, which golden rice bowl has become a porcelain bowl and is worthless. ”

Xiao Hua glanced at Li Zhuoxin, she really didn't dare to pack the ticket, if she had a son, she would agree immediately, but this is someone else's son who can't make the decision himself, and he only complains that his stomach is not angry. She glanced at her daughter who was in a daze and said with a smile: "Xiaoxia, why don't you help Ye Lin scoop the soup, this sea cucumber is the best for girls' skin." ”

Chen Ying glanced at the soup bowl that was placed in front of Li Zhuoxin's eyes, and secretly said in her heart, this woman is really on the road, and she will not be bleeding in vain.

Li Xiaoxia received her mother's eyes and smiled and said, "Mom, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that you didn't give me such a long hand." I'll give my brother the opportunity to watch this. ”

Li Zhuoxin didn't say much, picked up Ye Lin's small bowl, and filled half a bowl of soup: "Be careful of scalding." Putting down the soup spoon and turning the table, the bowl of soup was facing Li Xiaoxia.

Chen Ying said with a smile: "Zhuo Xin is really a careful person, this is what kind of gentlemanly demeanor Linlin said before, and only the children who come out of everyone can have such a tutor." ”

Li Yuanzheng looked at his son, who had never smiled since he entered the box, and his face was a little unbearable: "Chen Ying, don't praise him, if his sister hadn't mentioned it, I guess he would have been able to install wooden stakes." I will send Ye Lin back to the unit in a while, do you hear it? ”

Li Zhuoxin was already impatient in his heart, put down his chopsticks, got up and nodded politely: "I know, it just so happened that my little aunt asked me to go over." ”

Ye Lin got up with a smile: "Parents, Uncle Li, Aunt Li, let's go first, you eat slowly." ”

Li Xiaoxia also put down her chopsticks: "I've eaten too, brother will take me for a ride." ”

Xiao Hua grabbed her hand: "What are you going to do, stay, my mother still has something to explain to you." Li Xiaoxia pouted unhappily and sat down. Xiao Hua looked at the two people who walked out of the box, and said with a smile: "Look at how well these two people match, whether it is height and age, or family background, it is a match made in heaven." ”

Chen Ying should be harmonious: "Who said it wasn't, I really hope to drink the wedding wine of the two of them as soon as possible, and my old man is also very optimistic." ”

Although there is no hero and heroine, the box is not deserted, but the conversation is getting deeper and deeper, as if the wedding is tomorrow.

Li Zhuoxin carried the packaged old soup noodles and his brother-in-law stopped at Caesar's old Audi, glanced at his watch, and thought about his own thoughts. Ye Lin sat in the co-pilot and looked at the man's side face and spoke first: "I'm really sorry, I didn't know it would be like this, my parents are people who are easier to think about." If I feel inconvenient, I can actually go to the unit by myself. I will also make it clear to the elders on both sides, don't be burdened. ”

Li Zhuoxin curled the corners of his mouth slightly, looking at the woman who was sitting in the passenger seat while saying sorry in a high-sounding manner. Restart the car: "Do you mean a blind date banquet, or do you want to drop by on the way?" People like us, who enjoy the envy of others, have to give up some things accordingly. Isn't it? ”

Ye Lin frowned, not knowing what he meant by this, but she couldn't help but test it: "I don't agree with this very much, it's too absolute." As far as I know, although many marriages are arranged, there is no shortage of suitable and happy ones. This is to give each other one more chance, of course, you can also choose according to your own heart. ”

Ye Lin saw that the other party didn't mean to continue talking, and changed the topic with interest: "By the way, my grandfather gave me two invitations to the exhibition the day before yesterday, do you have time to go together?" ”

Li Zhuoxin also knew about this art exhibition, after all, he also asked someone to get a few tickets. Who let him have a mother who loves the art of painting, but he doesn't seem to have inherited the art cell at all, leaving only mercenary vulgarity, and it is better not to defile such an elegant place.

Li Zhuoxin looked at the road conditions on the left and right, turned on the left direction light, and the car slid into a small road: "No. 5 doesn't seem to be suitable for art museums, there are many elderly people over there, and you will get dizzy when you smell it." ”

Ye Lin is wearing No. 5 perfume, which is her favorite, intense, heavy and intellectual. Globally, a bottle is sold every half minute. It's just that she wonders how a man can know about women's perfume, could it be the woman this morning? Suddenly, the woman's side face flashed in her mind, calm and indifferent.

Li Zhuoxin: "It's just a joke, don't worry, it's my honor to be able to send a beautiful woman." In fact, he knew that this perfume was because Ma Kai wholesaled the perfume as mineral water in order to chase a young lady in the perfume counter, and finally the female companions of a group of them received this gift.

Li Zhuoxin's previous female companions have all been mild and elegant, and if you think about it carefully, there doesn't seem to be any perfume smell on her body at the end of summer. Is this yet another proof that the end of summer is right for him?

Ye Lin looked at his warm look and the corners of his mouth, a little unsure whether his sentence was true or false, and smiled awkwardly: "I didn't expect you to be so humorous, Xiaoxia didn't tell me." By the way, I haven't been back for a long time, is there anything interesting in this city? Bring me to another big event another day. ”

Li Zhuoxin laughed in his heart, but said softly: "I haven't been back for a long time, and City B has changed too fast and too big for me to recognize." ”

Are you in such a hurry to go out together? There is an unwritten rule in their circle: only female companions are brought to friends gatherings, and their wives must be brought to formal occasions. And he's always been single.

Ye Lin actually wanted to create an established fact in public, but she didn't expect it to be avoided, it seems that Li Zhuoxin is very dissatisfied with the family's arrangement. It's just that she is not such a person who gives up lightly, and no one can predict the result until the last second.

Li You kneaded his somewhat stiff neck, put down the Wen Jiàn in his hand, picked up the coffee and drank it gently, with a capable short hair and a decent suit, and a stern expression. Seeing that it was past lunchtime, I opened the drawer and picked up a few cookies to get alive.

Di Lingling, picked up the landline: "Hey, I'm Li You, please speak." ”

Zhuo Tingting likes her shrewd and capable sister-in-law very much, and her relationship has always been very good, listening to the formulaic voice as always, she smiled and said, "Youyou, I haven't eaten again." ”

Li You leaned on the back of the chair and relaxed her expression: "Sister-in-law, why did you call me today?" ”

Zhuo Tingting was a little embarrassed when she heard this title, and she didn't change after correcting her several times: "Isn't it like I haven't seen it?" How are you doing, and are you enjoying your work? ”

Li You was a little puzzled: "Sister-in-law, if there is anything, you just say it's okay, but you never ask me about work." ”

Zhuo Tingting: "I heard that there is a little girl from the Ye family in your department, how does it look?" ”

Li You knew that she must have heard the rumors as soon as she thought about it, and said cautiously: "It's only been a few days since I came, and I look like a clever and careful person, not exaggerated and low-key, much better than the third brother's family." If it's a good person, then it's also a good one. ”

Zhuo Tingting was silent for a while: "I want you to help me observe, after all, your third brother is determined to make up for the two of them." People who never call, called me a few days ago, and it sounded like it meant to arrange a future path for Xiaoxin. I also think it's okay when I listen to it, but it depends on what Xiaoxin thinks. ”

Li You: "I'll help you watch it, but the most important thing is to watch Xiaoxin, after all, he lives his own life." Okay, you pay more attention too. Well, got it. ”

Li Zhuoxin pushed open the door, just in time to see her hang up the phone, and picked it up with her: "Deputy Director Li, the takeaway is delivered, where to put it." ”

Li You took the bag and opened it, took a breath and knew that it was the old noodle soup he liked, and stuffed the biscuits into the drawer: "Why did you think of coming to see me today, aren't you very busy?" ”

Li Zhuoxin: "Send someone over by the way, and eat soda again, is it expired?" It seems that the little uncle is going to check it out. ”

Li You wiped the corners of his mouth: "How can I let you meet expired food every time, I just bought it last week." By the way, it was the girl from the Ye family. I just talked to your mother about this, what's the matter, it's ready? ”

Li Zhuoxin: "You know everything here, I just saw her for the second time, how can I make it look like I'm engaged?" It seems that if this doesn't work, it won't be good. Although it was a joke, the tone was a little cold, it seems that the Chen Ye family has released the news a long time ago, are they in such a hurry to tie up the Li family?

Li You glanced at him and heard something: "If it's not suitable, don't get closer, I don't think their house is the same as us." I don't know what the third brother thinks, I think he was also instigated. You think about it yourself, and if you have something to discuss with us, it's a lifetime thing, you know. ”

Li Zhuoxin got up: "I know, don't worry about it." I went to school first. Looking at his nephew who was far away, Li You picked up the landline and broadcast a few calls, vaguely feeling that this thing revealed a strange atmosphere. It's been more than a year, the old man's health is getting worse and worse, and the situation has changed unexpectedly, I hope she thinks too much.
