The old man said, "You are also twenty-five, it is not good to get married too late, there is no suitable one around, and the character and ability must be good, but the most important thing is the family background, the so-called family is right, if the family background is too far apart, the living habits, and the education received since childhood, are not the same, it is difficult to come together, even if you start to feel that you can get along, you will know that it is bitter when the days are long." ”

Xia Lei's fingers on the chopsticks trembled, her face was pale, and Bai Yang was silent.

Xia Zhi knew that her grandfather's words were for Xia Lei, but she still touched her wound, and her temper was not good, so she immediately slapped the chopsticks on the table with a "snap".

Everyone at the table looked at her with different eyes, and the old man couldn't believe that she would be so disobedient, and there were guests in front of her.

Xia Lei was happy and a little surprised, and Bai Yang also raised his head.

Zhou Jinyao watched the play with a smile, and Zhou Jinshi's eyes were flat and slightly surprised.

"I'm sorry...... I'm full. Finally softened her tone, and as soon as she was about to stand up, she heard the old man's angry roar, "Sit down." ”

Xia Zhi sat down unwillingly, now she is doing everything to suppress her impulsive character, she regretted what she did just now, after all, many things still depend on the old man, according to her experience from childhood to adulthood, the old man is more affectionate and stubborn, and the most important face, if she has done it, the old man may really turn his face.

Xia Lei poded a piece of pork ribs and put it in the summer solstice bowl.

Xia Zhi glanced at it, and he was already tasteless.

Coincidentally, Xia Zhen came back at this time, and walked into the hall in a hurry, wearing a khaki windbreaker in a pink long skirt and a high ponytail, exuding a youthful atmosphere, first called grandpa, and then looked at Zhou Jinshi, and called sweetly, "Brother Zhou." ”

Zhou Jinshi smiled and nodded.

Xia Zhi and Xia Lei had goosebumps at the same time.

Xia Zhen is the most lively one of the Xia sisters, she has been doted on since she was a child, she is very casual in front of the elderly, and the old man likes her like this.

"Don't you have a class today?" The old man asked with a smile.

Xia Zhen said, "No class. She took off her sand towel and coat and handed it to her aunt, and sat on Zhou Jinyao's left side, she actually wanted to sit in Zhou Jinyao's position, and when she sat down, Zhou Jinyao was looking at her, and the two nodded and smiled politely.

Zhou Jinyao said, "Miss Xia Zhen, it's better to be famous than to see you, you are so beautiful." ”

Xia Zhen sighed, "Have you heard of me?" ”

Zhou Jinyao glanced at Zhou Jinshi with a smile, and then turned back to look at Xia Zhen, "Of course, my brother often mentions you." ”

Xia Zhen was pleasantly surprised, "Really." When he glanced at Zhou Jin, he said to Zhou Jinyao again, "It turns out that you are Brother Zhou's sister, what do you call it?" ”

"My name is Zhou Jinyao."

"Sister Jin Yao."

Bai Yang was completely ignored, and Xia Lei was very dissatisfied.

Xia Solstice gave Xia Lei a pod of pork ribs in the bowl.

After dinner, Xia Zhi returned to the upstairs room, Xia Lei took Bai Yang upstairs, Zhou Jinshi played chess with the old man, and Zhou Jinyao and Xia Zhen watched.

When Xia Zhen took a piece of fruit from the fruit bowl and handed it to Zhou Jin, she asked, "Brother Zhou, it turns out that you also like to play chess, my grandfather likes to play chess the most, usually the uncles and brothers are not there, he can't find a companion to play chess, if you have time, you can often come to play chess with my grandfather!" ”

Zhou Jinshi took the fruit, sighed, and said with a smile, "I saw that your sister could also play chess that day." ”

Xia Zhen smiled, "You can talk about Sister Zhi, her level can only be lower than me and Sister Lei." ”

Zhou Jinshi turned his head to look at her, "You will also go down." ”

Xia Zhen smiled shyly, "I know a little bit, I only know how to move." ”

Zhou Jinyao said with a smile, "Miss Xia Zhen is versatile, I heard that your academic performance in school is also quite good." ”

Xia Zhen was overjoyed, but she didn't expect Zhou Jinshi to care about her school, and said with a smile, "Where, general." Watching Zhou Jinshi eat a clove of orange, she handed him another blueberry.

Zhou Jinyao hurriedly blocked it and took it into his hand, "My brother doesn't like to eat blueberries, I like it." He put it in his mouth.

When Xia Zhen heard this, she picked out a few blueberries and gave them to Zhou Jinyao.

Zhou Jinyao smiled and took them one by one.

When he was about to tie up a piece of dragon fruit with a bamboo skewer and prepare to give it to Zhou Jinshi again, Zhou Jinyao took it again, "My brother doesn't like dragon fruit either." Seeing that Xia Zhen was slightly stunned, Zhou Jinyao took her hand, took her to sit on the side of the sofa, and said with a smile, "My brother has many habits that are different from others, and he is also picky when he eats, I will tell you these slowly......"

Xia Zhen nodded happily.

Xia Lei brought Bai Yang to the summer solstice room, and Xia Zhi poured tea for Bai Yang.

Touching the warm teacup, Bai Yang's heart was sour, and he finally felt a little comfort.

Xia Lei said angrily, "Who has grandpa ever stammered in his life, isn't that surnamed Zhou a little richer than us, some power, can he commit it?" Don't you want to be so unattractive, and his sister, at first glance, she looks like a fox, damn, the most annoying thing is Xiaozhen, what do you like about that kind of person, look at that man, he looks indifferent and affectionate, not like a person who values feelings at all, whoever marries him in the future will have to be widowed! ”

"Don't get excited." Xia Zhi also poured a cup of tea for Xia Lei and patted Xia Lei on the shoulder, "Xiao Zhen was just confused for a while. "That little sister also made her hate iron but not steel.

When the three of them went downstairs, Zhou Jinshi and Zhou Jinyao had already left, Xia Zhen was nowhere to be seen, and Old Man Xia was playing Tai Chi in the garden.

Xia Lei asked casually, "What about Xiao Zhen?" ”

The aunt on the side replied, "Miss Seven said that there are still classes at school, so I followed Mr. Zhou to the city." ”

Xia Lei pouted, "Didn't you say you came back without class?" ”

Auntie was silent.

Xia Lei took Bai Yang and left the old mansion without saying hello to the old man.

Xia Shang upstairs took the bag and was about to leave, when he went out, he met the old man walking upstairs, and beckoned when he saw her, "Xiao Zhi, you come to the study." ”

Xia Zhi reluctantly followed to the study.

When there are no outsiders, the old man's attitude towards the juniors should be softened, his tone is gentle, he first asked her about her recent situation, and then cut to the point, "Aunt Lan Yun, do you remember, when you were a child, you often came to our house as a guest, and later accompanied your son to study abroad, and the family has been in the jewelry business for generations, just one son, this year it seems to be twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and they have just returned from abroad." She came to see me the other day and was looking for a marriage partner for his son recently, and mentioned you...... This matter should have been checked by your parents, but ......"

It's rare for grandpa to talk to her so sincerely, Xia Zhi lowered her eyes and was silent, she is now very worried about marriage, and she never thought about getting married.

The old man said again, "Several members of Aunt Lan's maiden family are working in the procuratorate......

Xia Zhi's eyelids lifted, it turned out that this was the point, looking at the old man's slightly pale face, faintly red pupils, her heart trembled.

Father is her father and grandfather's son.

"If it's suitable, let's take a look slowly, give Aunt Lan a face, and go see it, how about it?"

What else can Xia Zhi say, this is the most kind grandfather in his memory, he wants to be as tough as Yixiang, but she is easy to deal with.

Grandpa was very efficient, and the next day he called her and said that he had made an appointment with the son of the Xie family, and asked her to send the address to her mobile phone, which was about four o'clock in the afternoon of the same day, and hung up the phone, the time was one o'clock in the afternoon, and Xia Zhi was visiting Dong Ling in the hospital.

The patient is not improving, and is completely using drugs to maintain the weak life of the body.

Xia Zhi held Dong Ling's hand and sat on the edge of the bed, her head was slightly lowered, her heart was like a knife, how much she hoped that her aunt could wake up, her mother passed away when she was eleven years old, and since then her aunt has been playing the role of a mother, she will not communicate with her father about many things, but she told her aunt everything, and her aunt is no different from her and Xinxin.

After coming out of the hospital, I drove straight to the agreed place, a western restaurant in the city center.

I met Jing Yan unexpectedly at the door of the restaurant, he seemed to be talking about business with people, and walked out with four or five elite-looking men, and when he raised his eyes, he saw her.

Nodding and smiling at each other, they said hello, and then staggered, and a few of them went out and walked forward, and Xia Zhi entered the restaurant.

When Jing Yan looked back, he only saw half of her back, and in an instant, she disappeared in the door.

"Thank you......"

"Xie Junnan." Xie Junnan stood up in his seat and introduced himself.

Xia Zhi smiled politely and sat down opposite him, the table number was 45, next to the floor-to-ceiling glass on the west side of the north hall on the second floor, a very easy to find position.

As the old man Xia said, this young man's appearance is considered to be middle and upper-class, he looks capable, talks elegantly, is more easy-going than ordinary family children, is very polite, orders everything to give priority to the lady, and is also very talkative, basically he is talking, Xia Zhi only listens, and does not speak.

After a cup of coffee, Xie Junnan smiled, "Miss Xia is really quiet. ”

Xia Solstice raised his eyes to look at him.

"Miss Xia, do you have any comments on me?" Xie Junnan smiled.

Xia Zhi put down the coffee, wiped the corners of his mouth with a tissue, and smiled slightly, "Mr. Xie, I actually don't have any plans to find a partner, but it's not good to go against the will of the old man, Mr. Xie must be such a good person There must be many girls who like it, I'm afraid that I will be forced by my family to come over today!" ”

This is to give him a step down, Xie Junnan smiled, stroked his forehead, and was a little frustrated.

He looked up and asked, "Does Miss Xia have anyone you like?" ”

Miss Xia was stunned, and her fingers holding the cup tightened.

"There's a gentleman over there who seems to be looking at us all the time, does Miss Xia know you?"

Xia Zhi moved his gaze to the direction where Xie Junnan looked over, not far away, standing Jing Yan, his gaze met hers, and he smiled in a greeting manner.

Jing Yan walked over, glanced at Xie Junnan, and said to Xia Zhi with a smile, "Your friend, come over for dinner together?" ”

Xie Junnan stood up and stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, "Hello, Xie Junnan." ”

"Jing Yan."

Xie Junnan glanced at Xia Zhi and said with a smile, "I'm her boyfriend." ”

Xia Zhi was stunned and looked at Xie Junnan.
