Chapter 10: The Plum (13)
Jing Yi just put the last knife away, and looked at the table, the four sets of utensils should be neatly placed. Shu Yu Shirt
Suo Yanlin looked at it and said, "An honor student is an honor student." Even if you have never been a housewife, you still have to hand in Class A homework as soon as you get started. ”
Jing Yi smiled and said nothing.
The silverware on the dining table was shining in the morning light, and if the silverware was also divided into three, six, nine and so on, then they looked like the nobles of silverware at the moment. Next to the snow-white porcelain with silver bars, there is no loss of dignity.
This is what the third sister-in-law said, Tao Xiang is a person who is extremely particular about it. I don't know how he coped with going into the mountains or marching to fight?
Jingyi raised her head, saw Suo Yanlin's inquiring gaze, smiled, and heard the third brother and Tao Xiang walking in while talking.
She went out and said to Tao Xiang, "Go wash and wash, come down and have breakfast." ”
Tao Xiang was talking to Zhichen, and when he saw her smiling at him, he muttered for a moment before saying, "I'll come down immediately." Pi"
He walked away.
Jing Yi asked: "Third brother, do you want to come and sit here, or do you want to have a cup of tea first?" ”
Zhichen sat on the sofa, picked up the newspaper, and said, "Give me a cup of tea, and wait for Mu Zhi to come down." ”
As soon as he sat down, his attendant came in.
Jingyi saw that they had something to say, and hurriedly retreated to the restaurant.
Yan Lin gossiped with her, and after a while, Zhichen came in and said, "I have something to go back first." ”
"Shall you have breakfast before leaving?" Jingyi said.
"Why are you in such a hurry that you can't eat breakfast?" Yan Lin frowned.
"Urgent. You stay and bring Jingyi back later. Zhichen said gently, looking at Jingyi.
Jing Yi saw that he was busy with business, and it was inconvenient to force him to stay. had to send him out with his third sister-in-law.
Zhichen didn't want to alarm people, so he told Yan Lin to confess to the Tao family on his behalf, and was picked up by the car.
Jing Yi recognized that it was not the Tao family's car that picked him up, thought about it, and didn't ask more.
"It's the road chief's car. I saw it yesterday. Yan Lin saw it and explained. Lu Datong seems to have something to ask your third brother. It's very mysterious. I think it's just asking for an official for his son. Lu Datong is under the command of Uncle Tao, and Uncle Tao also mentioned it yesterday. I don't know the details. ”
Jingyi couldn't figure out the connection between the top and bottom here, but just listened.
When he came back, Tao Xiang had already changed his clothes and went downstairs, and when he heard that Zhichen was picked up by Lu Datong's car, he was not surprised, but said, "At least you should have eaten breakfast." ”
He waited for the two ladies to sit down before he sat down.
Jingyi sat on his right hand, listening to him and his third sister-in-law chatting gently while eating, mostly interesting stories about their time in the United States. The rest is just that she is interested in her third sister-in-law talking about the encounter with the brown bear in the hotel where she stays during the Aspen ski season, and she smiles while listening.
"You can go there on vacation in the future." Yan Lin saw that Jingyi blindly smeared butter on the toast, wiped a thick layer, and continued to wipe it, so he couldn't help but laugh. "Makiyuki is a master skier. None of us are as good as him in all of us - Makiyuki, are you not good at any sports? ”
Jing Yi came back to her senses and found that she was holding a piece of toast that was almost covered in butter, and was about to throw it away, when she heard Tao Xiang say, "Rugby should be the same", and reached out to take the piece of toast from her hand.
Jingyi looked at him.
As if he had done something that was perfectly natural, he took a bite of the toast and chewed slowly.
Suo Yanlin smiled and said, "I see that there is a big swimming pool in the backyard, and the small ten can swim in summer." If you want to keep in shape, you can't get married and don't manage yourself. ”
Jing Yi thought, swimming...... In this house?
She said, "It's good, but I don't have a swimsuit." ”
She suddenly thought that if she went swimming in a swimsuit with her arms and legs exposed, if she was known by the aunts and grandmothers of Luo Ruitang, or if she came to see it one day, she didn't know what would happen?
Just thinking about it, the smile on the corner of her mouth deepened.
Tao Xiang saw.
"What's there, I'll send it to you later." Suo Yanlin said briskly, "Muzhi won't stop it, right?" A while ago, in Nanjing's air force circle, someone caused an uproar because his wife went to a public swimming pool to swim in a swimsuit. It was reported in the newspaper that there were also several factions debating. I don't know, it's already in this era, and swimsuits are still regarded by some people as strange costumes that break the customs. The Air Force has always been known for its openness, and this time I realized that the original concept of openness is for people who are not their wives. ”
She smiled and criticized, but what she said was not harsh.
Jingyi didn't express an opinion, Tao Xiang only smiled and said: "Of course, if there is a swimming pool, someone must use it, is it okay to raise geese when you are idle?" ”
They gossiped a little, and when they ran out of breakfast, Suo Yanlin saw that the time was about the same, and proposed to leave.
She went in to pack her things, and Jingyi said to Tao Xiang, who was waiting in the living room, "Over at the hospital, I'll go by myself." ”
Tao Xiao looked at her and said, "Zhixin is injured, I should also go to visit." ”
"Don't bother, I'll pass it on for you." Jingyi said.
Tao Xiang said in a low voice: "I'm just going to the headquarters, by the way." ”
As soon as he said that, her reason for not wanting to trouble him was no longer valid.
It's still uncomfortable to think about it, but I feel that it's not wrong for him to do this. Because of this, I think this is even more awkward.
She and her third sister-in-law went to Mrs. Tao to say goodbye.
Tao Xiang waited outside, full of patience.
Suo Yanlin looked at Jingyi and said, "I think Mu Zhi's attitude is okay. ”
Jingyi looked back at Tao Xiang who was walking out, thinking that of course her performance in front of others was good, wasn't her performance bad?
"Hmm." She replied vaguely.
Mrs. Tao, Fu Lizhen, Xu Yamei and others were at Mrs. Tao's place at this time, in addition to them, the aunts and grandmothers were also there. It was the first time that Suo Yanlin had seen so many related women from the same family gathered together, not to mention that all of them were like torches, and a few of them were simply unkind. Although she was generous and calm, she still felt that she needed to be careful everywhere when dealing with it, and she couldn't help but look at Jingyi - she maintained a quiet smile from the moment she entered the door, not too much of a smile, not too much of a talk, although people were always paying attention to her, she didn't seem to be under extra pressure because of this - she couldn't help but admire Jingyi.
Mrs. Tao sent a message to Jingyi and her sister-in-law to leave, and Mrs. Tao got up and sent them out in person.
"Go over and rest. These two or three days must be tiring. It's just that the third young grandmother has to bother. Mrs. Tao's last sentence was said to Suo Yanlin.
"Aunt Tao, this is as it should be, don't bother. In the future, the little sister will have to take care of her aunt. Suo Yanlin said as he walked. Seeing Mrs. Tao smiling, she thought she understood what she meant, so she simply said: "The little sister is still young, I'm afraid there is something inconsiderate about the elders." Aunt Tao was very patient in front of her grandmother and aunts and grandmothers. ”
Jingyi held the third sister-in-law's arm, thinking that the third sister-in-law said this, and the mother-in-law should not be too careful.
She lowered her head slightly, although she thought so in her heart, she didn't want her mother-in-law to see it and embarrass the third sister-in-law.
Mrs. Tao smiled, glanced at Jingyi, and said, "Third young grandmother, please rest assured, if you talk about how to be filial in front of the Venerable Master, I'm afraid that my naughty little daughter will have to learn from Jingyi." ”
Suo Yanlin heard this and said with a smile: "I'm really worried that our little sister is very childish, just passed the door, she is not familiar with anything, and there are some inconsiderate places." ”
"Third sister-in-law." Jingyi smiled.
Only then did Suo Yanlin say goodbye to Mrs. Tao, and he walked a long way out with Jingyi before saying, "Aunt Tao is amazing, you should be careful in the future." ”
Jingyi didn't say a word.
What the third sister-in-law just said was like a parent, but the mother-in-law's response was indeed a double knock. It was inconvenient for her to tell her third sister-in-law and the dishes about the past two days, so she had to listen.
Of course, Suo Yanlin was not so easily fooled by her, and said: "If others in the Tao family don't mention it, even those old aunts and grandmothers are enough to bear." I'm not provoking, I'm just asking you to be careful. The days in the mansion are naturally step-by-step. ”
Jingyi saw that Tao Xiang was already waiting for them by the car, so she said, "The third sister-in-law is too." It's not like this in every family, do we want you like this in our family? ”
Suo Yanlin glared at her and said, "I'll take you ghost girl...... People talk to you from the heart, but you use my words to gag me. Yes, it will be the same in your house! ”
"Look at the third sister-in-law, you and ours, who doesn't know that the Cheng family is complicated, and the eldest sister-in-law has the most sisters-in-law, it's really hard for the third sister-in-law." Jingyi joked about the wild goose.
Yan Lin looked at her helplessly and said, "No wonder I know that I am coming, and my cousin has tried to show me what is going on in this house." I finally know what she means. ”
"You don't have to talk to her about that, and there's really nothing." Jing Yi whispered.
Yan Lin looked at Tao Xiang, who was only ten steps away from them, and thought that their sister-in-law would still be there when she was alone, so she was not in a hurry to say it at this time.
Jingyi finally waited for Yan Lin to stop asking, and couldn't wait to get in the car and leave. Yan Lin saw that Tao's house was busy putting out lights inside and out, and wanted to take a closer look, but was pushed into the car by Jingyi.
Tao Xiang personally drove them away. Let Ma Xingjian follow with someone. Together with the people who had passed with Jingyi, the convoy drove out of the Tao family's compound.
Jingyi sat in the front seat, Suo Yan waited for the car to drive out of the alley, and then said to Tao Xiang: "Muzhi, if the old aunt and grandmother bully Xiao Shi, you can't sit idly by." ”
"Third sister-in-law!" Jingyi turned around.
Tao Xiang listened to Yan Linyi and looked at Jingyi.
Jingyi blushed.
