In the previous life, if it weren't for the fact that Xu Lijuan, who was infatuated with Lin Haocang, had more and more tricks to die, and went farther and farther on this road, even Xu Lao and others couldn't pull it back, with the circle of ladies that Du Mengqi had run in the capital for many years, even if the Xu family was targeted by the Liang family and the Lin family at the same time, and there were countless villains who secretly fell into the ground, the Xu family would not have been defeated.

……

Xu Lijuan, who silently came to such a conclusion, sighed secretly, in the end, she still didn't plan to continue to discuss this issue with Li Lingxuan, and directly distributed the prepared gift list to Li Lingxuan, Qian Hanbai and Du Mengqi, and said: "Big aunt, second aunt, mother, the color of the ribbon on each gift box is different, and the flowers tied out are also different. ”

Then, without waiting for everyone to speak, Xu Lijuan said again: "It's not early, uncle, second uncle, dad, you should go quickly, go home early at noon for dinner." ”

As soon as these words came out, Xu Anbang, Xu Anguo and Xu Ankang immediately stopped making eye contact with each other, and made up their minds that they must come back in time at noon, and then take time to discuss some things that came to mind because of Xu Lijuan's "gift-sharing" action in the afternoon.

Next, Xu Lijuan sent Xu Deyou, Xu Dehui, Xu Dehai, Xu Deyao and Xu Deyu away in the same way, and after watching the last jeep disappear from sight, Xu Lijuan walked back to the living room easily.

In the living room, Fu Jianbai had already set up several fruit plates - one full of melon seeds, peanuts, pistachios, pine nuts, pecans and other nuts; one filled with chocolate, toffee, fudge and other sweets; One is filled with mung bean cake, coconut milk cake, taro cake, peach blossom cake, pumpkin cake and other one-yuan coin-sized cakes prepared by Xu Lijuan in advance, and you can eat a cake of different colors in one bite; A filled with jelly and cheese and other favorite snacks for the little ones.

Even before Xu Lijuan left the living room. I deliberately turned on the TV in the corner, and turned the volume to the appropriate level, but. Xu Lao and Fu Jianbai, who were sitting at the coffee table, were still silent with each other, and the cold aura that seemed to be the same around the two of them only made Xu Lijuan rub her temples.

If you can't see that Xu Lao has come to his senses at this time, and understands that Fu Jianbai dug a pit for him, he deliberately got angry with Fu Jianbai and ignored Fu Jianbai, and Fu Jianbai is also used to being taciturn. I don't know how to continue to please Xu Lao, and this strange atmosphere between the two will not quickly permeate the entire living room.

Either way, it's a big New Year. It is absolutely impossible for the people who come to the meeting to pay New Year's greetings to notice the awkwardness between the two, so as to make up some inexplicable things in their minds, so Xu Lijuan paused as she stepped forward. Then he said heavily, "Grandpa." Brother Fu, I just discovered a very important event that is related to the life and death of the Xu family! ”

Xu Lao leaned to the table, and the fingers that were about to take the cup to drink water shook, and the cup that had only been brewed eight points full of tea also swayed, if it weren't for Fu Jianbai reaching out and holding the cup in time, it is estimated that Xu Lao's favorite blue and white porcelain cup would end up in a broken bone.

If it were someone else who was babbling like this, Xu Lao would definitely let the other party know "why are the flowers so red". For now, though. The person who disturbed Xu Lao was Xu Lijuan, his granddaughter who he had loved and cared for eighteen years, so Xu Lao just glared at Xu Lijuan angrily, and then picked up the teacup, took a sip of saliva to suppress the shock, and then put the teacup back on the table.

"Oh?"

Xu Lijuan also found that she had almost done something wrong just now, so she rubbed next to Xu Lao, like a cat who had made a mistake and urgently needed to be forgiven by the owner, looked at Xu Lao with an aggrieved face, and said, "Grandpa, we used to give New Year's gifts in the wrong way......

With Xu Lijuan's analysis and narration, the casual look on Xu Lao's face disappeared, and even the fingers that were originally placed on his side tapped the coffee table table.

After a long time, Xu Laocai sighed, reached out and touched Xu Lijuan's head, and said: "Xiaojuan, you are doing it right, this gift is indeed a profound knowledge, if you are not careful, the gifts sent out not only cannot achieve the purpose of getting closer to each other, but it is also easy to provoke some enemies hidden in the shadows for yourself." ”

Although Xu Lao has been retired for many years, the senior officers in the army who he has drawn up still respect him very much. Therefore, Xu Anbang, Xu Anguo, Xu Deyou, Xu Dehui and Xu Deyao can mix like fish in water in the army, even Xu Ankang, who is in politics, was not in the capital before, and Xu Ankang never complained to Xu Lao, so if Xu Lijuan hadn't accidentally discovered this matter today, Xu Lao would really think that the outside was calm, and he still only needed to sit firmly in Xu's house and be an old man who lived for a long time.

"The most correct decision grandpa has made in this life is to marry your grandmother......" Xu Lao's face was nostalgic, and even his voice became a little lost, "At that time, she prepared all the gifts that should be given during the New Year's holidays. If it weren't for that, how could he have beaten his peers who were the same in terms of seniority, age, skill, and feats, and had been steadily promoted along the way.

Although she had known the deep friendship between Mr. Xu and Mrs. Xu for a long time, when she heard the past stories told by Mr. Xu again, Xu Lijuan further understood that Mrs. Xu was a "lady" who lived up to her reputation, and the education she received from a real noble girl of the family made her yearn for it.

It's a pity that except for Li Lingxuan, who saw Mrs. Xu on the hospital bed when she married into the Xu family, no one else, including Qian Hanbai and Du Mengqi, had ever seen Mrs. Xu, nor had they personally listened to Old Man Xu's teachings, let alone Xu Lijuan!

For a moment, the atmosphere in the living room was a little sluggish.

"Grandpa, the deceased is gone." Fu Jianbai almost racked his brains before he came up with such a comforting sentence, "Grandma Xu is gone, but Xiaojuan has been able to take over the entire Xu family's affairs, and in the future, grandpa will also be able to live a leisurely life, so there is no need to worry too much." "No matter how bad it is, there is the entire Fu family behind to support it, and Fu Lao and he can also come in handy at critical moments.

Xu Lao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he glared at Fu Jianbai, who interrupted his recollection, in displeasure, and asked meaninglessly, "Are you really willing to give up?" But he secretly thought in his heart: I didn't expect that just pretending to be pitiful could lead Fu Jianbai to take the initiative to back down, and make the decision to let Xu Lijuan, the "married girl", also help the Xu family take care of their affairs, which is really an incredible thing for the Fu family, who has machismo and seems particularly domineering!

"Hmm." Fu Jianbai nodded heavily, picked up the teapot, filled the teacups in front of Xu Lao, Xu Lijuan and himself, and sighed in his heart: Even if he was reluctant, in the face of the threats and temptations of the Xu family, he had to make such a decision!

- Of course, this is only a temporary emergency measure, and when he really marries Xu Lijuan, he will force Xu Deyou and others to marry from all sides. At that time, he was not worried that the Xu family would not be able to retract his decision to manage the concubines. Even if one Xu housewife can't do it, two can't do it, it doesn't mean that three, four and five can't do it!

Xu Lao slowly retracted his gaze and looked at Fu Jianbai, his eyes stopped at the TV not far away, a picture of enjoying the playback of the Spring Festival Gala wholeheartedly, but he said in his heart: What if he didn't find the cunning in Fu Jianbai's eyes? I want to fight him, hehe......

Fu Jianbai picked up the pecans placed in the fruit bowl, crushed them one by one with his hands, blew the walnuts carefully, and then put them in front of Xu Lijuan, and said softly: "I know you like to eat this." ”

Xu Lao, who was enjoying the singing and dancing on TV: "......" These pecans were specially bought by Xiaojuan to supplement his brain, this kind of behavior of flattering other people's favors, is it really okay? !

Xu Lijuan replied to Fu Jianbai with a particularly bright smile, picked up a pecan and put it in her mouth, only to feel that this pecan was so sweet, her beautiful phoenix eyes slowly narrowed into a line, and her face showed a rare look of enjoyment.

Jingle Bell, who was lying on the couch and pretending to be asleep, slammed into the table, and his paws followed to the pile of pecans.

However, the next moment, Ding Dong's paws paused, and then slowly raised his head and looked at Fu Jianbai, who was looking at him with a threatening and threatening look because he wanted to eat a few pecans.

Ding Dong has always been "facing difficulties", not to mention Fu Jianbai, who has long been listed at the top of the list of enemies! So, Ding Dong shook the hair on his body, gave Fu Jianbai a provocative look without hesitation, and then swept away all the small pile of pecans in a fast, accurate, and ruthless posture, and rushed out like an arrow off the string before Fu Jianbai was ready to teach himself a lesson.

Ding Dong rushed to the threshold of the living room.

Then, Ding Dong ignored Fu Jianbai's particularly gloomy face, slowly put a walnut into his mouth, narrowed his eyes like Xu Lijuan, and a look called "enjoyment" appeared on his plush face: "Meow!" "Sample, fight with me, you're still tender!

However, at this time, Xu Lao also glanced at Fu Jianbai proudly, and said with a smile: "This kitten is very cute and promising!" "If you want to snatch these pecans from Fu Jianbai's hands, it's really not something ordinary people can do!

Fu Jianbai's face was so black that he could drip ink, he looked at Ding Dong gloomily again, pressed the depression and anger that arose in his heart, and praised him with a wrong mouth: "It's really cute." ”

Dingdong: "......" red rain has fallen from the sky, otherwise, how could Fu Jianbai, a villain, praise it?

Xu Lao: "......", how can people accept it? This feeling of feeling more and more that Fu Jianbai is a strange feeling, really stuffed. (To be continued......) R1292
