Chapter 223: Reminiscing about the past
After feeding his girlfriend, Si Yan was dragged into a jewelry store by her, Xiao Chun looked around, pointed to the most high-end pearl necklace and shouted to wrap it.
The shopping guide thought that the man was paying, and took the initiative to take the black card handed over by Si Yan.
"Wait! I'll check out. ”
She took out her credit card, and easily pulled Si Yan's black card back and put it in his pocket.
"This is a little bit of my heart for your mother, I'll just come by myself."
"But it's a bit ...... Valuable. ”
A conservative estimate should be two months' income from her restaurant.
Si Yan didn't want her to break the bank, and neither did her mother, who believed that she was reasonable.
"I'll do it anyway."
Si Yan reluctantly took out his card, and asked Xiaochun to directly push the shopping guide to swipe the credit card.
"You don't understand, courtesy is light and affectionate, and courtesy is more important! Only then can you see my sincerity! ”
It seems that anything can be rounded back by her, and Si Yan doesn't know what to say, so he can only accept her kindness.
Xiao Chun smiled brightly at him and patted her chest confidently and proudly.
Soon she got the gift box wrapped by the shopping guide and pulled him out with her.
Although this gift is a little expensive, she is willing to give it away, and her heart is sweeter than smearing honey.
The car circled around the road and soon drove to a quaint house that looked like a decades-old house.
"This is your home?"
Xiao Chun walked around the door a few times curiously, she thought that a rich man like Si Yan would buy a mountain villa, and take the entire mountain for himself like a domineering president on TV, but she didn't expect to live in the downtown area, and then walk a few alleys to the vegetable market, which should be according to her mother's wishes.
"Let's go inside."
Si Yan smiled faintly, parked the car at the door, took out a string of black keys and opened the lacquered wooden gate, and what greeted him was a small courtyard.
Many lotus flowers are kept in the pool, and the small turtles and goldfish are clearly visible, and a round table and two wooden chairs are waiting for them.
If you don't pay attention, you will think that this is an ancient building. The house is like a garden, blended in with the temperament of the mother, no wonder she likes to wear cheongsam so much.
"Xiao Yan, who are you bringing here?"
No one was seen, only his voice was heard, and as soon as Xiao Chun looked up, a smiling face appeared in the corridor on the second floor, and a dark green figure.
"Ah...... Hello Auntie, I'm Xiaochun. ”
As soon as she spoke, she felt that her voice was hoarse, and she deliberately swallowed her saliva.
Si Yan generously pulled her to the back room and poured her a cup of tea.
"Don't be nervous, just leave it to me."
He smiled softly, poked her head lightly, and then looked at the person coming down the stairs and said, "This is the blind date you introduced me earlier." ”
"How could I not remember?"
Si Mu was disgusted, walked up to her with a smile, and actually stretched out her hands to rub her cheeks, as if welcoming a child.
"Oh, it's been a long time since I've seen you! You didn't reply to Xiao Yan after you met last time, I thought the two of you were out of play. ”
During that time, she was sad, Xiao Yan didn't show the slightest interest in this well-behaved girl, and the girl didn't say anything, the time just passed like this, and she was in a hurry!
When she first saw Xiaochun, she felt fate, as if she had seen it in her previous life, both in terms of background and personality, how could this kind of girl not be her daughter-in-law!
"But now it's okay, you and Xiao Yan are boyfriend and girlfriend, right?"
When she first received her son's text message of "bringing his girlfriend home", she still complained in her heart, and she didn't tell her how she secretly developed.
After seeing that it was Xiaochun, all his temper disappeared!
Xiao Chun was held by her hand tightly and walked in the courtyard chatting, so nervous that her palms were oozing fine sweat.
"Auntie, this is a little bit of my heart."
Only then did she remember the gift box in her hand, and immediately stretched out her hands and handed it over respectfully, looking at her expectantly with an expression.
Si Mu opened it with a smile and saw that it was a pearl necklace in good condition, and smiled sweetly in understanding.
This kid is so sweet, I know she loves it.
"Thank you! I don't have anything to give you, so I'll give you Xiao Yan. ”
She was in a good mood today, and it was rare to joke with her, which made Xiaochun's nervousness dissipate.
Si Yan smiled when he heard this, and went to the kitchen to cut fruit for the two, and suddenly a text message from Ah Lan came, saying that there was a VIP coming to the door to do something, and he had to go back.
"Mom, I still have something to do in my company, so I'll leave first, and I may come back in the evening."
He picked up the car key and walked to the door, not forgetting to give Xiao Chun a cheering look.
The two of them made Si's mother smile, she showed her around the house, and told her about the Si family's past.
"In the past, Xiao Yan's father also gave me such a necklace."
She suddenly sighed with the gift box, and her eyes slowly moistened.
This frightened Xiao Chun, she didn't mean to buy a sad thing to remind her, and hurriedly apologized: "I'm sorry!" Auntie, I didn't mean to, if you don't like me, I'll ......"
"No, no, I love it."
The mother burst into tears and smiled, waved her hand to keep her from getting excited, continued to tour the house, and finally stopped in front of a study that had been closed for a long time.
"This is Xiao Yan's father's favorite place, he likes to read here as soon as he gets home and has nothing to do, and sometimes he plays chess with Xiao Yan."
She took out the key to open the door lock, and as soon as she opened the door, there was a smell of sandalwood, which was very reassuring.
The layout of the surroundings is like an ancient book house, with calligraphy and paintings hanging on one side in the middle, bookcases on both sides, and a leisure area in one corner of the room, on which the chess pieces have long been stained with dust.
Xiao Chun knew a little about the past of the Si family, and it seemed to be very painful and bitter.
Si Mu put the gift box on the desk and leaned against the table to tell her.
"Our Si family began to decline after Xiao Yan's disappearance, at that time his father and his brother were locked up in prison, and a large group of people came to the family and the company, saying that they wanted to seize and freeze all their property, and I immediately panicked......
She seemed to have fallen into the quagmire of memories, looking at Xiao Chun with rolling eyes, and her fair face revealed the vicissitudes of time.
"I'm waiting and waiting at home, and others keep bombarding me to leave, but it's obviously my home, why should I go? I was later told that my husband and eldest son had been executed and that I could not see them for the last time until I died. ”
Si Mu sobbed quietly and leaned weakly on her shoulder, like a wounded child.
It turned out that she had endured so much silently by herself, no wonder she chose to live in this kind of old house, just to mourn her relatives.
and Si Yan, his heart is also very painful, in such a big house, he misses his father and brother day and night.
There was a soft place in Xiao Chun's heart that was broken, and she stretched out her arms to hug her mother tightly, comforting her as if she was comforting her own mother.
