Encouraged by the text message, Xiao Yan became more energetic, and she decided to make another pair of insoles for Xu Jinqiao.

He wore size 44 shoes, she drew the soles of the shoes, turned out a few cotton clothes that she didn't wear very much, cut them, moved them out of the board, boiled some paste on the fire with flour, and then dipped the brush in the paste and smeared it on the board, and then spread the cotton cloth layer by layer on the board, and after the thickness was about the same, she put the board in a ventilated place and waited to dry.

After doing all this, Xiao Yan went out of the door with arms, she ran to the mall again, and carefully selected four pairs of insole cloth with beautiful patterns, the beginning and the end are simple and generous flowers, and the middle is embroidered with words, which are "a hundred years of good harmony", "early birth of a noble son", "love is stronger than gold", "love for each other", "love for each other".

Xiao Yan returned home beautifully, it was dark, she simply made a bowl of egg noodles to satisfy her hunger, on the way to eat, Huo Baixiao made a phone call, after chatting a few words, he asked her, "It's Chinese New Year's Eve soon, how do you live?" Xu Jinqiao's side...... Will he celebrate the New Year with you? ”

"I don't know how to do it......" Xiao Yan's cheerful mood suddenly fell, she bit her chopsticks, and said vaguely, "We haven't reconciled yet, he said that he would think about it and then tell me the answer, but there is no news yet, so I don't know where Lu Dao is celebrating the New Year." If there is still no news on the day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, then I will take Belle over and let us spend Chinese New Year's Eve together. ”

Huo Baixiao frowned, his tone was displeased, "What does this Xu Jin Qiao want?" You've done this for him, what kind of shelf are you serving? ”

"Bai Xiao, don't blame him, blame me for not being good, I'm willing to give him time to think about it, it doesn't matter if it's the New Year, anyway, in the past few years, our mother and daughter have been together, and I'm used to it." Xiao Yan smiled and tried his best to pretend not to care, but the loss in his heart was so obvious.

Chinese New Year's Eve is a day of reunion, Xu Jinqiao is her only relative and lover, how could she not want to be reunited with him? It's just that she didn't dare to force him, and finally his determination was loosened, and she couldn't give up all her efforts!

Huo Baixiao said, "Yanyan, if Xu Jinqiao doesn't pick you up for the New Year, then you come to my house, my parents welcome you and Belle, and there are more people and it can be more lively." ”

"Let's see how it goes." Xiao Yan responded ambiguously, the Huo family's enthusiasm, she couldn't refuse, but after repeated interruptions, she couldn't help it.

Hung up the phone, Xiao Yan sat alone for a long time, the phone rested quietly on the dining table, except for that text message, he didn't receive any news, whether it was good or bad.

The egg noodles gradually cooled, and she had no appetite to eat any more, so she got up and put the rest of the noodles in the refrigerator.

The cotton cloth stuck to the board had not yet dried, so Xiao Yan took out a hair dryer and took the trouble to dry it repeatedly.

The mood is uncontrollably bad, so depressed and uncomfortable......

……

Following.

On the twenty-seventh day of the lunar month.

The black Cayenne drove at a constant speed towards Shengqiao Group, and when the red light came on, and when the car stopped, a phone call happened to come in.

Xu Jin Qiao connected, his thin lips raised into a smile, "Grandpa!" ”

"Aqiao, does your company have annual leave?" Old Man Qiao asked loudly at the other end.

"Not yet, the annual leave will start at noon the day after tomorrow."

"Chinese New Year's Eve Chinese New Year's Eve, you came to the old mansion early, do you know the way? This year, Xiaorui's grandmother went to her daughter's house for the New Year, so your aunt's family of three also came to our old house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, how lively this year is! ”

Hearing this, the smile on the corner of Xu Jinqiao's lips expanded, "Great, our family is together!" But grandpa, can I bring two more people? ”

"Huh? Who are you going to bring? Didn't Wen Chenghe's kid need to go back to his parents' house in Beijing for the New Year? Old Man Qiao is at a loss, among the current grandchildren, only Ni Rui is in love, so his priority is Wen Chenghe.

Xu Jinqiao pursed his lips, "Grandpa, the person I want to bring is of course related to me, guess again?" ”

"Boy, you're not going to bring two women home for your grandfather, are you? No, no, Aqiao, grandpa told you, you are a person with a marriage contract, you look for those messy women, grandpa does not interfere with your freedom, but what you bring home must be your wife, this meaning is different! When Old Man Qiao heard this, he immediately objected, and his tone became serious.

Xu Jin Qiaowan'er, the corners of his lips lifted lightly, "Of course, it is impossible to marry a woman who comes home, and it is impossible for me to bring it home, especially on such a major festival as the New Year." Grandpa, guess well, guess the prize! ”

"Hahaha......" Old Man Qiao laughed, "You naughty boy, what prizes do you have to impress grandpa?" You let my grandfather think about it, the words of two women...... Hey? Could it be Miss Ye and the Xiao family? Oh my God, Aqiao, it's not the old society now, you can't have a big or small wife......"

"Grandpa!"

Xu Jin Qiao interrupted helplessly, he couldn't help but laugh, "Where do you want to go?" Half of the guesses are wrong, the prize is gone, and you will be punished for preparing a meeting gift for my daughter! ”

"What? Your daughter? Old Man Qiao was startled, the whole person was frightened, and asked excitedly, "Which daughter are you?" When did you kid give birth to a baby outside? How many months? Are you sure it's your baby? It's only been half a year since I returned to China, how can I have a baby? ”

The signal light turned green, Xu Jinqiao started the car, changed to Bluetooth, and couldn't help but chuckle while driving, "Grandpa, your great-granddaughter is more than three years old, huh...... I'm sure it's not my flesh and blood, but she's the daughter of my future wife, so it's my daughter. ”

"What is this...... No, Aqiao, are you going to be someone else's stepfather? Old Man Qiao reacted suddenly, and his voice immediately raised an octave.

Xu Jin Qiao squinted his eyes, and the corners of his lips became deeper and deeper, "Grandpa, you calm down, I don't have to be a stepfather, Xiao Yan's daughter is not her own, she is an adopted child, and in the future, we will adopt together, the two women I am talking about are their mother and daughter." Grandpa, I decided to reconcile with Xiao Yan, I want to marry her, and we will no longer be separated! ”

"Okay, grandpa supports you!" Old man Qiao patted the board, "Chinese New Year's Eve takes their mother and daughter home, grandpa not only has to prepare gifts for his granddaughter, but also for his granddaughter-in-law!" ”

"Xie Lu, thank you, grandpa!"

Xu Jinqiao was pleased, and hung up the phone after chatting a few more words, he looked ahead, and his mood was unprecedentedly bright.

Life is short, and you can't give up what you should stick to no matter what.

Otherwise, you will regret it for the rest of your life.

……

Xiao Yan devoted himself to making insoles and did not go out.

After the cotton cloth is dried, she needs to cut out four pairs according to the sole of the shoe, use a ribbon to line the edge, and then glue the patterned insole cloth she bought, and then sew it with a circle of needle and thread, so as not to fall off if it is not strong.

She did it day and night, except for eating, sleeping and going to the toilet, the rest of the time, all the time was used to make insoles, in order to catch up with the year, she went to bed at three o'clock in the morning, and got up at eight o'clock in the morning*, sometimes she was too tired, doing it, and fell asleep on the sofa.

Finally, four pairs of insoles were completed on the morning of the 29th day of the lunar month, and Xiao Yan held the fruits of his labor and showed a coquettish smile.

However, until this time, Xu Jinqiao still hadn't called her, and there was no news.

Xiao Yan washed her face and looked at the haggard woman in the mirror, her eyes slowly turned red, as if something was blocking her throat, and she was a little out of breath.

The most reluctant!

Xiao Yan silently told herself in her heart that if she failed again, she would ...... Fulfill Him!

Put on a coat, put on a mask and hat, and go out with a handbag.

There was only two percent of the mobile phone left, Xiao Yan threw it into her pocket, too lazy to call the driver, she walked out of the community and stopped a taxi to get in.

"Master, please send me to the East Second Ring Road."

"It's good."

Xiao Yan went directly to Xu Jin Qiao's apartment, she said that she didn't care, she could continue to wait, but on this day of family reunion, she had no father, no mother and no relatives, she had a feeling of being alone, at this moment, she was not as strong as she imagined, her heart was very fragile.

On the way, Xiao Qingliang, who had returned to City A, made a phone call, and the two chatted and made an appointment to meet in the first month.

When hanging up, the residual power happens to run out, and the phone automatically shuts down.

Xiao Yan turned her head to look out the car window, the street was full of jubilant Spring Festival atmosphere, she wanted to stay back, she also had to remember to buy couplets and lanterns, even if it was only her and Belle for the New Year, she had to make it look like the New Year, otherwise the child would be disappointed.

When I arrived downstairs at the apartment, it was ten o'clock in the morning.

Xiao Yan paid the fare, carried a handbag and a plastic bag with insoles, and took the elevator upstairs.

Standing still outside the door, taking a few deep breaths, she mustered up the courage and rang the doorbell, but she rang it several times, but no one opened the door, it seemed ...... There was no one at home.

Xiao Yan slid along the door panel and sat on the ground, his expression dumbfounded.

……

At 12 o'clock at noon, major enterprises and institutions began to take annual leave one after another, and Shengqiao Group and Jinsheng Media were no exception!

Walking out of the company building side by side, Xu Jinqiao patted Wen Chenghe on the shoulder and instructed, "Have a safe journey!" ”

"Well, I'm back in the third year of junior high school, and you've been staring at the company for the past few days!" Wen Chenghe said.

The nature of the industry operated by Shengqiao is different, the shopping mall does not have a holiday, it must continue to operate, and during the Spring Festival, it is necessary to pay more attention to fire prevention and theft, so safety is the top priority, and there must be leaders on duty at all times.

"It's okay, I'll take a vacation when you come back." Xu Jin Qiao raised his lips and chuckled.

Wen Chenghe glared fiercely, "Hey, don't be unkind, I still have a date, be careful that your cousin complains about you!" ”

"Well, I'm going on a date now, and I'll be safe when you get to the airport in Beijing." Xu Jinqiao raised his wrist and looked at the table below, smiling deeply.

Hearing this, Wen Chenghe couldn't help but sigh, "Our big boss Xu has finally been resurrected!" Go quickly, Xiao Yan must be in a hurry to die! ”

"Okay, then I'll go, see you in the next year!"

"Bye-bye!"

The two hugged and said goodbye, Xu Jinqiao turned around and walked quickly to the car parked not far away......
