Chapter 235: A Dowry for My Sister
Chen Linxiu felt very unhappy, and when he came home from work, he passed by the small courtyard of the Chen family with flower pots at the door, Chen Linxiu's heart was really sour and jealous, and this courtyard really had nothing to do with him at all now.
In fact, it didn't matter in the first place, this house belonged to his cousin, and his cousin had no successor, so he gave him the illusion that his cousin could only rely on him, so he despised and treated him slowly.
It's good now...... Chen Linxiu laughed at himself and dragged back with heavy steps.
He is now going back to his original home, but in this home, there is no place for him to stay, the house is small and there are many people in the family, he has lived in a big yard for so many years, and then he wants to move back, brother and sister-in-law, brother and sister-in-law, none of them agree.
As for their parents, they have long been unable to protect themselves, and they have to live by the eyes of their brothers and sisters-in-law.
After remarrying, Chen Linxiu and his current wife rented two houses in the shantytown, where most of the houses were illegally built, although they were messy, but the rent was cheap, and he now only had a dead salary, no other extra income, and his wife was a little lavish and could only rent the house there.
Now he goes back to his own house to take care of his father, and his brothers take turns to take care of him, and his place is too small to take over, so he can only take a few days a month to lay on the floor next to his parents.
You say that this kind of thing should be done by the wife who has nothing to do at home? Chen Linxiu sighed, where is his current wife willing to take care of her in-laws, and it is reasonable not to ask him to go back to serve her.
In the end, life is still different, Chen Linxiu didn't think it before, but recently she has deeply realized that if it is Mei Fen, although she is unforgiving, she will definitely do what she should do, and don't let him worry about it.
Regret, Chen Linxiu regrets it in his heart now, but there is no turning back from regret, the only thing he can hold in the palm of his hand now is the woman beside him.
You can't be too greedy, it's because of greed that he lost everything, and now he has no qualifications to be greedy.
As soon as Chen Linxiu returned home, before he could sit down, his father looked at him sadly, and after smelling the smell, Chen Linxiu didn't say anything, and went to clean up in silence.
Finally cleaned up, after Father Xin held his hand and said the hungry sound with difficulty, Chen Linxiu almost cried.
The brother and sister-in-law are too much, afraid that the old man will be dirty and too lazy to clean up, so he doesn't even give the old man food! But he felt that his brother and sister-in-law were excessive, but he had no way to ask them anything.
You have to say that they don't care about the elderly at all, and it's not, although they can't eat enough, they will also make extra food for the elderly at every meal, and they usually wash what should be washed, but no matter how careful they are, they definitely don't.
Chen Linxiu knew that he was no different from his brothers and sisters-in-law, but he didn't take the long term and didn't have that much responsibility. ”
What will he do then?
Chen Linxiu couldn't make eye contact with his father's eyes, so he hurriedly went to eat and fed it slowly, and he hadn't drunk a sip of water since he got off work.
It wasn't until his father fell asleep that Chen Linxiu had time to breathe a sigh of relief and silently went out to eat the dishes left for him by his brother-in-law.
During the meal, Chen Linxiu noticed that his brother and sister-in-law didn't seem to be at home, so he asked, and then he knew that they went to eat Lixia's thank-you banquet.
After all, it is the closest relative of Chen Xinchun, Li Nan thought for a long time before deciding to send an invitation, they actually wanted to go, but they didn't have the face to go, and finally let Brother Chen and his wife be representatives, and they went with a part.
"......" Chen Linxiu silently picked up the rice.
But the younger brother and daughter-in-law were probably too idle, glanced at Chen Linxiu, and spoke, "It stands to reason that Li Xia must invite the third brother over there, you were the adopted son of the uncle before." ”
It used to be, but now that people have been driven out, naturally it is not.
Chen Linxiu was inexplicably a little unable to swallow, and when he was about to put the chopsticks, his eldest brother and wife came back, their faces were red, and the excitement in their eyes had not faded.
"Li Xia did this very well." While walking, Sister-in-law Chen was still there with emotion, and saw Chen Linxiu greet lightly, and then looked at her brother and daughter-in-law, "Brother and sister, it's really a pity that you didn't go, do you know who is the top student in science with Li Xia?" It's Secretary Ji's son! ”
Secretary Ji? Chen Linxiu searched in his mind, and suddenly remembered the middle-aged man who occasionally appeared in the local news, and he looked at his brother and sister-in-law.
I saw that they nodded heavily, and Sister-in-law Chen directly pulled a stool and sat down, "It's that Secretary Ji, Li Xia and his son-in-law held a thank-you banquet together, the thank-you banquet is a simple thank-you, I don't accept any parts, I don't accept gifts, Secretary Ji also came over to toast us......"
Brother Chen and his wife were dizzy, and they were all talking in Xingtou, this sentence couldn't catch that sentence, but everyone here understood, Li Xia's classmate was Secretary Ji's son, Secretary Ji thanked Li Xia for bringing a good influence to his son, and toasted everyone on their side.
Secretary Ji toasted them!
Aren't they all dizzy, what are their identities, what is Secretary Ji's identity, and a magical expression appeared on Sister-in-law Chen's face, "I think, Secretary Ji's son, I'm afraid he likes us Xia Xia." ”
In a blink of an eye, Li Xia became our Xia Xia.
The younger brother-in-law was also surprised, and Sister-in-law Chen was full of pride, very proud that she had discovered this secret, "In the future, maybe we will have to be in-laws with Secretary Ji." ”
Just thinking about it, I feel fascinated, even if Li Xia is not close to them, it can barely be related, in the street and in the unit, it must be looked down upon.
It is not necessary to rely on the benefit, or to feel honored in the heart.
Anyway, Sister-in-law Chen thought like this, and she also expressed it like this, Chen Linxiu saw it, she couldn't eat it in the first place, and now she didn't know how to eat it.
In the past, the better Li Xia and the others, the more panicked he became, and the more he wanted to sabotage, but now that Li Xia was so good that it far exceeded his imagination, Chen Linxiu's heart was left empty.
This kind of emotion can probably be regarded as a kind of jealousy.
Seeing Chen Linxiu's loss of soul, a trace of disdain crossed in Chen's sister-in-law's eyes, this is the most well-read and most promising man in the Chen family? What the hell, if you don't do your job well, you even abandon your bad wife.
Sister-in-law Chen looks down on Chen Linxiu the most, that is, his divorce from Mei Fen, she and Mei Fen don't get along well, then Mei Fen is also her serious brother and daughter-in-law, what kind of thing is this now, even Mei Fen's fingernails can't compare.
Thinking that she went to the market before, she saw Mei Fen, who was selling goods, and Mei Fen, who seemed to have changed from before, and Chen Jun, who was filial and obedient next to her, Chen Sister-in-law estimated that Mei Fen would not be bad in the future.
Only Chen Linxiu is stupid like a pig, his wife and children don't want it, and he will regret it in the future.
The teacher appreciation banquet was very successful, and not many people came, mainly the teachers of the school and Ji Jingming's family.
Ji Jingming's family is the same as Ji Jingming, they are all gentle and polite, Li Xia has a very good impression of them, and she is not much surprised to see Ji's father, after all, she has been friends with Ji Jingming for three years, and she has already had a certain understanding of each other's family background.
Anyway, the only people who came to eat today were the parents of the students and the teachers of the students, and Li Xia only treated the Ji family as Ji Jingming's elders.
Li Nan didn't think much about it at all, even if he knew, it was not a big deal, the secretary was too far away from their lives, and a few children would not have such utilitarian ideas, but Li Nan had always been quite vigilant, Ji Jingming wanted to kidnap her sister for more than a day or two.
Their sister and brother and sister behaved generously, and Ji's father and mother were also very happy with their son's vision, but they also understood that Li Xia really didn't know anything about Ji Jingming, and only regarded him as a good friend.
"Son, there is a long way to go!" When leaving the hotel, Ji's father patted Ji Jingming's shoulder and spoke seriously.
Ji's mother also looked at her sympathetically, "Son, I don't think you have much hope." ”
If this is to be opened, it should have been opened a long time ago, and if it is not opened so late, it is estimated that there is not much hope.
Ji Jingming, "......"
Can you hope that he will be better?
first sent the teachers away together, and then sent their parents and relatives away, Ji Jingming went back to settle the bill with Li Xia with the hotel, since they held a thank-you banquet together, the cost must be AA, Ji Jingming knew Li Xia's character, and he didn't have to pay this money.
"I'll see you when school starts." Li Xia is about to go to Shenzhen, how to go to school at the beginning of the school year, and you have to see the work situation at that time.
Now in Shenzhen, Zhou has provided Li Xia with an independent studio, not only with the most advanced equipment and machinery, but also with good leather, and a competent assistant, Li Xia likes the working environment there very much, and it just so happens that she has accumulated a lot of inspiration during this period of time, and is ready to retreat and create.
Ji Jingming was a little disappointed, but he also knew that Li Xia would not stop because of him, "See you at the beginning of school, you can't go back then, I will accompany my grandparents to Beijing, don't worry." ”
Chen Xinchun said at the dinner table today that his biggest wish this year is to send Li Xia to school with his wife to report.
"Ji Jingming, thank you." Li Xia thanked Ji Jingming,
Ji Jingming actually didn't want Li Xia to see him like this, he nodded lightly, "Between the two of us, there is no need to be so polite, Xiao Nan, they are still waiting for you, hurry up." ”
Watching Li Xia get into the car, Ji Jingming stayed there for a long time and didn't come back to his senses, and when Cao Hui suddenly jumped out, Ji Jingming was startled.
"Come back to your senses, people may be almost at the doorstep." Cao Hui hooked Ji Jingming's neck and handed him the camera in his hand, "Don't you just want a photo with Li Xia, don't you just say no?" Li Xia would definitely not refuse, he had to make such a big detour. ”
When he graduated, the time for the two classes to take graduation photos was different, and Ji Jingming actually wanted to take a photo with Li Xia, but he didn't have that opportunity at that time.
When the college entrance examination was over, Li Xia started busy work again, and he wanted to take the opportunity to go out to climb the mountain to take pictures, but naturally there was no more, so there was only a thank-you banquet.
What makes the names of two people appear on the same invitation, Ji Jingming's ideas are not so low-level, to say that the names are put together, the two have been side by side on the honor list for three years.
Maybe their names are also on the admission list.
"She's so busy, it's too much to delay her in order to take a photo, anyway, she has to hold a thank-you banquet, she is busy and has no concept of time, Li Nan may not be able to do it when she is young, she must do it, and it will save her any more trouble." Ji Jingming put away the camera and prepared to send the film to the printing shop for processing later.
Cao Hui couldn't say anything, "If you don't want her to bother, you can squeeze my brother and me!" ”
Ji Jingming hooked Cao Hui's neck, "Let's go, I'll invite you to eat and play whatever you want, when you can use me, you can't just open your mouth?" ”
"I don't need you." Cao Hui was on his lips, and his feet had followed honestly.
The two left happily, and in another hotel opposite, Zhang Yanyun stood at the window and watched, Li Xia and Ji Jingming were admitted to the same university and held a thank-you banquet together, and they will be together in the future.
It should be, then the right two people.
"Yanyun, your dad is talking to your uncle, it's almost over, let's go home." Zhang's mother came over with a smile, her daughter's college entrance examination results played very well, and she was admitted to the university in Shanghai, which won them glory, "You can relax and have fun during the summer vacation, and your mother will buy you whatever you want." ”
Zhang Yanyun's thank-you banquet has already been held, she is here to attend the thank-you banquet for her father's colleague's children today, but she didn't expect that when she came out to breathe, she would just see Li Xia and Ji Jingming.
"Mom, I don't have anything I want, and I don't want to run outside, I just want to be with you at home." Zhang Yanyun took her mother's arm and turned around happily.
The moment she turned around, Zhang Yanyun had already said goodbye to her youth in her heart.
"My daughter is so sweet, Lao Zhang, why do you think I'm so good at giving birth." Zhang's mother saw Zhang's father coming over and proudly showed off to him.
Dad Zhang smiled and nodded, "Then for sure, the girl you gave birth to is different, wife, do you think there is still a little credit for me here?" ”
Looking at her father who was smiling and holding her mother's stinky feet, Zhang Yanyun showed a smile on her face, unrequited love is fruitless, and one day, she will also meet a good man like her father.
……
On the side of Beijing, Wei has already taken two projects in Zhou Qiren's hands, but he has not been busy with the project in the past few days, but has been wandering around the Qingda area, preparing to buy a house.
He is busy with work now, there is definitely no way to take care of Li Xia often, Li Xia is also busy with his own career, it is estimated that he will have to travel a lot, buy a house here, usually Li Xia can come over to rest, have his own space, he can also put things here, let Li Xia get it himself.
The yard in Su Province, Wei Ye has already sold it, and the house has been bought there for a few years, and the price has risen a lot, and some people are rushing to ask for it.
Wei Ye is now doing construction-related work himself, and he knows how quickly the buildings built in Shenzhen are sold, and he touches it, the house is something that everyone needs, and it will definitely appreciate in value.
He also has a little spare money now, which is good to buy two houses.
Li Xia has one set, Li Yang has one set, the two of them are girls, they have their own houses, and they have the confidence to do anything in the future, and this house should be regarded as his dowry for his two sisters.
As for Li Nan, if a boy wants to have a chance and expect his brother to buy a house, that's not good.
