CHAPTER XXXV
Shang Qingxiao's eyes were red, a tear hung in his eyes, and he lifted his eyelids slightly to look at the old lady, and that look was really pitiful.
He Bai sighed, and said in his heart that this thing was quite capable of pretending, and he was too lazy to watch her act here, so he turned his head and asked the old lady, "Grandma, I'm going to go out to buy gifts, do you want to go along?" ”
The old lady put down the cup and said in her heart that this tea is really not very good, she looked at the eldest grandson like this and knew that he was impatient, but she wanted to buy a gift for her granddaughter-in-law? Then you can follow along, or what will this bastard do if he buys some messy things.
"Go, why don't you go, you wait, wait for the old woman and I to change into bright clothes first, after all, it's a happy event, it's not possible to dress too darkly."
He Bai smiled and pointed at the old lady, "Grandma is right, it is worthy of being an old man who has seen the world, and he understands a lot." ”
"That's right, old lady, I used to be a lady from a big family." The old lady shook her head arrogantly and walked away with small steps.
Shang Qingxiao was confused when he heard this, what kind of gift is this? What does this mean? After hesitating, she asked He Bai, "Brother He, what are you talking about with Grandma He, what kind of happy event?" ”
He Bai didn't give her a look, sneered, looked at the photos on his phone, and replied casually: "Oh, it's nothing, just buy some gifts and go to Xia Ping's house to propose." ”
Shang Qingxiao was stunned for a moment, a whining sound sounded in her head, her body shook for a long time, and then she slowly went upstairs with vague steps.
He Bai knew what she was going to do, but here he didn't care if she went to make a small report to the old lady, and when he saw the old lady wearing a dark red cheongsam and a tweed coat, he whistled loudly, stood up and circled around her twice, raised his hand and praised, "Grandma, you are really wearing this body, I don't think the eighteen-year-old girl is as stylish as you." ”
The old lady smiled proudly, "You kid, what you said today is very true, it's done, I won't brag to you anymore, let's go and pick a gift for my granddaughter-in-law." ”
"Aunt Liu, the old man and I won't come back for lunch today." She said to Aunt Liu, who was following behind, after a pause, she glanced at the stairs secretly, coughed, and whispered, "Don't make too much lunch today, it's a waste to do too much, and it's shameful to waste it." ”
Aunt Liu held back a smile, "I know, old lady, don't worry, my Aunt Liu has been cooking for so many years, and if she is measured, she will definitely not let me have one more grain." ”
After hearing this, the old lady took her grandson's hand and went out with satisfaction.
The poor father and son of the He family still don't know that they have been left behind, and they don't know that the two women who are crying miserably are waiting for lunch to be served with the dishes.
And Mrs. He and He Bai could think of the scene at lunchtime, but the two of them didn't pay attention to it, pouted, and said that it was none of our business, anyway, we would eat very happily and satisfactorily at noon.
……
Song Cheng had a busy day, he pushed away Xiao Shan Gao's documents, and said in his heart that it was really tiring, this thing made people's eyes hurt.
Looking up at the time, baring his teeth, why is it only four o'clock, how can this time be so able to survive, staring at it for a long time without seeing the pointer move, sighing, I don't want to do it.
Thinking of his wife and children who were still waiting for him at home, he gritted his teeth, okay, for the sake of his current identity as a husband and father, just bear with it!
After another hour of suffering, he exhaled a long breath, specially, he could finally get off work, if he hadn't said in front of his daughter-in-law that he was a contractor, he wouldn't have been so honest and waited until five o'clock to get off work.
Standing up and striding out of the office, Song Cheng frowned at the assistant's expression, "It's better for him to find Lao Tzu if there is nothing to do, otherwise Lao Tzu will kill you." ”
The assistant shrunk his neck, put the document in his hand behind his bowel, and shook his head, "No, absolutely not, the document in my hand is not important at all, boss, hehe, you get off work first." ”
Looking at the boss who swaggered away, the assistant died with a heart, woo woo, it seems that tonight is going to be a sleepless night again, and I don't know if my wife will file for divorce with me tomorrow.
Alas~~ It's hard to be a man, it's even harder to be an assistant, and it's even harder to be an assistant to an old man who got married in his 40s, especially when this old man was just a few days old.
Song Chengke didn't know what his assistant was thinking, he only wanted to go back as soon as possible, after so many years, he could finally experience the feeling that the ancients said that not seeing a day is like three autumns.
I came home all the way, opened the door and looked, the smile on my face froze, oh, what about my wife and daughter, why haven't I seen anyone?
A pat on the head, okay, wife, the children are in the courtyard next door, sighing, resigned to closing the door and drooping his shoulders to the courtyard, this is too aggrieved, why did this girl come, her position plummeted, and even her wife disappeared when she got home.
The aggrieved face instantly turned into a smile when he stepped into the small courtyard, and the smile was like a flower blooming in spring, which was particularly bright.
The smell of food came from the air, and he sniffed, thinking that it was really good to have a wife, at least as soon as he got home, he could eat a delicious meal.
Well, the old man who got married in his forties is satisfied, anyway, it has exceeded his previous expectations, isn't it? As for the rest, it's better to count less.
"Wife, I'm back," he shouted into the kitchen.
Luo Xunqiu, who heard the voice, subconsciously looked at her daughter, and was relieved to see that she didn't have any special reaction, she wiped her hands and turned around to greet her.
Xia Ping lowered her head, her hands stiffened slightly, and she didn't move until Luo Xunqiu went out, her eyes blinked, and she blinked again, and finally stopped the tears that were about to gush out.
Luo Xunqiu looked at Song Cheng who was standing in the courtyard, pursed his lips and glared at him, walked over quickly and whispered, "Why are you so loud?" The obedient girl is still there, and she doesn't pay attention to it. ”
Song Cheng was at a loss, he touched his nose and muttered, "Isn't it a day since I saw you a little excited." ”
Looking at his wife's angry face, he surrendered with both hands, and quipped: "Okay, okay, I admit my mistake, I admit my mistake, next time it will definitely not be the same again, okay?" My dear wife. ”
Luo Xunqiu snorted and asked again, "Are you free tomorrow?" If you have time, stay at home, tomorrow Xiaohe said that he would bring his family to the door, and the two families would sum it up to see what time was appropriate, and set the two children's relatives first. ”
"What? Engagement of a daughter-in-law! Song Cheng jumped up in shock, "That bastard boy wants to give my daughter down like this?" He didn't even think about it, and told him that it wouldn't work, and Lao Tzu didn't agree to it. ”
"Xiaohe is very good, why are you so excited?" Ruo Qiu looked at him with a puzzled expression, "Besides, everyone agrees to this matter, what's the use of your objection?" ”
Song Cheng gritted his teeth, can he not be excited? It's the same kind of person, why did he get a wife in his 40s, he is now an 18-year-old hairy boy, and he just gave my daughter down? It can't be done, it can't be done.
"How old is this girl? You gave her family affairs so quickly, what you know is that you love her, and you don't know how much you dislike her, so young girl wants to kick her out. ”
Luo Xunqiu's face darkened, she reached out to twist him without twisting, but her hand hurt, and she blew her hand, she glared at Song Cheng, "How can you talk like that?" It's just a marriage, it's just an engagement, what's so bad? ”
Song Cheng snorted and helped her rub her hands, the boss in his heart was unhappy, "Lao Tzu is just angry, it's only been a few days since he had a girl, and a pig will come up and arch, who can stand this?" ”
Luo Xunqiu looked at him, angry and funny, "What do you think?" Isn't it your daughter after she gets married? After you get married, you won't be your daughter? Could it be that you still want to support her for the rest of your life, and you can't let her marry for the rest of your life? ”
"It's not impossible!" Song Cheng snorted, "As long as she is willing, don't say it for a lifetime, Lao Tzu will raise it in the next life." ”
"Clean nonsense!" Luo Xunqiu hated him, "I won't tell you, the food is ready, hurry up and wash your hands." ”
“…… Lao Tzu just wasn't happy. Song Cheng muttered and went to the wall to wash his hands.
The voice of the two talking was not loud, but the courtyard was small, and Xia Ping still heard the conversation between the two clearly, she lowered her head slightly, and she didn't know what to think in her heart.
"Good girl, come and help mom take the food to the living room." Luo Xunqiu entered the door, didn't notice that something was wrong with his daughter for a while, and only shouted softly, and when he saw that she didn't move, he shouted again in a louder voice.
"Oh, oh, here it is." Xia Ping came back to his senses and went to the living room with the meal first, and was about to turn around to serve the dishes, but saw Song Cheng bring all the dishes in.
She pursed her lips, and after setting up the chopsticks, she took a bowl of rice and handed it over, "Uncle Song, eat." ”
Song Cheng was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly took it with both hands, "Hey, okay, thank you, girl!" ”
Xia Ping was also stunned, lowered his eyes and didn't speak.
Luo Xunqiu then walked into the door, I don't know what was said between the two, I just knew that the atmosphere was a little stagnant, she walked over, took the meal handed over by her daughter, and said, "Eat, what are you waiting for?" If you don't eat again, the food will be cold. ”
Song Chengle laughed, first used chopsticks to clip a large piece of fish meat to Xia Ping, and then helped Luo Xunqiu clip, but the clip for Luo Xunqiu was much more detailed, he first helped pick out all the fish bones before giving it to Luo Xunqiu, and only after getting a smile did he start to eat it.
Xia Ping Yuguang saw his movements, and his heart was mixed, no wonder his mother would accept him so quickly, it turned out that he was more able to take care of people than his father, like just helping his mother pick fish bones, which Dad had never had before his death.
The meal was finished in a slowly harmonious atmosphere, and Song Cheng, who had done the work of washing dishes, entered the kitchen, leaving the mother and daughter chatting in the living room.
Xia Ping was silent for a while before he said lightly: "Mom, I now know why you accepted Uncle Song so quickly." ”
Luo Xunqiu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, she reached out and touched Xia Ping's head, and said with a smile: "I just had a meal with someone, so you know?" ”
"yes!" Xia Ping nodded, "I saw that I picked fish bones for you, but Dad didn't help you pick them before, and Dad never helped you wash the dishes after eating." ”
Luo Xunqiu looked at the courtyard for a while, sighed, and his voice was ethereal, "Yes, you remember it very clearly." ”
After finishing speaking, the two of them were silent, and after a long while, Song Cheng came back from washing the dishes and saw the mother and daughter who were speechless to each other, raised his eyebrows and asked, "It's still early, do you mother and daughter have any places you want to go?" Why don't we hang out? ”
Xia Ping looked back at him when he heard the words, his eyes flashed, and he smiled: "I won't go, I didn't sleep enough today, I want to go to bed early, but my mother just said that I want to go shopping with my uncle." ”
Song Cheng and Luo Xunqiu were stunned when they heard what she said, and then Song Cheng smiled, "Tsk, it turns out that you want to go shopping with me, you can just say it if you want to go, why do you use someone else's mouth?" ”
"I, I don't..." Luo Xunqiu wanted to say that he didn't, but Song Cheng didn't give her a chance to speak, and dragged her away in his arms.
Looking at the backs of the two, Xia Ping smiled, went to close the door and went back to the room, just now she said that she wanted to sleep for a while is not a lie, this is the first time she stayed up late, she was really tired, and she really didn't rest enough, as soon as her head touched the pillow, after a while, she fell asleep deeply.
I don't know how long it took for her to be awakened, her heavy eyes opened, and then she met a pair of dark eyes.
She glared at her beautiful eyes and said angrily, "What are you doing, I still have to sleep." ”
He Bai smiled, and a light kiss fell on her eyes, "Good baby, don't sleep, my husband will take you out to recognize some people." ”
Without waiting for the little daughter-in-law to answer, He Bai reached out and scooped her up, picked up the clothes on the side to help her put them on, and saw her well-behaved and clever little appearance at the mercy of others, and his heart softened into mud.
"Recognize people? Who? Xia Ping put on his clothes along his hand, tilted his head and asked curiously.
"Some good buddies who grew up." He Bai scratched her little nose and smiled.
"Do you have to go? Are they all men? Xia Ping pursed his lips, he really didn't want to go, he didn't know those people, how embarrassing it was to go.
"Hmm..."Seeing her like this, He Bai teased her with all his heart, "Of course the good buddies who grew up with me are men, how can any good buddies be girls." ”
"That's all men, isn't it good for me to go?" Xia Ping stirred his hands and didn't get out of bed.
"That's not going to work." He Bai solemnly refused, "These are all people you will often meet in the future, they and I both live in the compound, why do you have to show up and recognize people, otherwise you won't know them face to face in the future, what if you are bullied by them blindly?" ”
Xia Ping frowned, "How can it be so serious." ”
He Bai didn't tell her again, she didn't want to come down, so she just picked up the person and wanted to go out, so scared that Xia Ping patted him and said that he didn't wear his shoes before he let people down.
After helping her put on her shoes a few times, he walked out with the person in his arms again, and drove the car to the stronghold after pulling the person into the car.
This big gang of gangsters didn't dare to run anywhere in the capital, so the base was in a self-opened sprinkle building, and it became a weekday meeting place by emptying a box.
Xia Ping went all the way to the restaurant with a tense face, He Bai wanted to laugh when he saw her nervous appearance, and after bringing someone down, he pinched her hand, and said with a smile: "Baby, don't be so nervous, you are their sister-in-law, they should be nervous, and there are a few girls inside." ”
Xia Ping, who knew that she had been tricked, glared, and gritted her teeth in anger, if it wasn't for the wrong time, she would have tore the life in front of her.
He Bai grinded his teeth, and said in his heart that this small-looking daughter-in-law is really annoying, if it weren't for the wrong time, Lao Tzu would have to clean her up and down.
took people all the way to the three private rooms, and as soon as she opened the door, she looked at more than a dozen pairs of eyes, Xia Ping's face was a little red, and she lowered her head uncomfortably.
Xu Mingqian, who was bragging with others, laughed and said proudly: "See, I told you that my little sister-in-law looks delicate and soft like a little fairy, you don't believe it, you have to say that only a tigress can lower Brother Bai." ”
"Take a look, believe it this time, one by one, Lao Tzu, I finally spoke honestly for the first time, none of you believe it."
He Bai raised his eyebrows, looked at the past dangerously, and only after he looked at the person with a weak heart did he put his arms around Xia Ping and walked over, and stood still in front of a few people, he sneered, "Come on, single dogs, take a look at Lao Tzu's daughter-in-law, Xia Ping, how about it?" Pierce your heart, let you say one by one that Lao Tzu is lonely, Lao Tzu looks at you like a 10,000-year-old king, single for a lifetime. ”
Xu Mingqian silently moved his butt out, and smiled when everyone looked over, "What, what Brother Bai said about the 10,000-year-old single old Wang Ba is you, but it doesn't include me, I, hehe, I, hehe." ”
"Hey, you sister, your mother-in-law, mother-in-law, mother-
Xu Mingqian touched his head and suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, but he didn't stop at once, so he let himself laugh like a fool, "What, I, hehe, I also have a girlfriend, (although people haven't agreed) I'm not the same as you." (It's shameful to be a single dog for 10,000 years, Lao Tzu doesn't admit it.) )”
Everyone had a black face, looked at his smiling face, gritted their teeth, and after a pause, thought about relieving their anger, otherwise they would vomit so much that they couldn't sleep tonight.
So, when Xu Mingqian was besieged and screamed, Shi Shiran hugged his little daughter-in-law and sat down.
After sitting down, he pointed to a group of people mixed in and said: "Baby, my husband will help you introduce you, the bag in the red shirt is called Lin Mingxu, he loves to deceive little girls the most, you should stay away from him in the future." ”
"That miscellaneous Chen Haosi, whose hair is not dyed black or white, he has the best way to deceive the little girl, if he accostes you, don't pay attention to him."
"The one in the white sweater is called Tu Zhi, he has the most temper, he will beat people if he doesn't say a word, you have to stay away from him in the future."
