Chapter 22 Entertaining Guests
"I can see that my sister-in-law still minds." Seeing off Old Man Xi and the Xi family's uncle, Xi's mother spread out on the sofa and breathed a sigh of relief.
Xi Yizheng looked at Xi's mother's paralyzed appearance funny, and after giving her a cup of flower tea, he sat on her side and hammered her legs.
"Alas, it's better for our daughter! Capable and well-behaved! Whoever gets it is blessed. Xi's mother took a sip of rose tea and joked with a smile.
"That's it, look at the Qingqing of the eldest brother's family, they are almost 20 years old, and they are still so ignorant." Dad Xi shook his head. I was chatting with Xi Guangzhi over tea just now, and I learned that Xi Yiqing would ask for 10,000 yuan a month after going to college. Xi Guangzhi sighed, and still gave her according to his words. But I don't know where she spent all her money.
"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law have spoiled her. At a young age, he looked shrewd and calculating. Fortunately, I didn't live under the same roof with them, otherwise, we would definitely be bullied by her. I'm three years older, but I don't look like a sister at all! Xi's mother complained indignantly. Xi Yiqing didn't call her aunt from the time she came in to the time she went out. Although her daughter didn't say it, but when she saw it since she was a child, Xi's mother would not know what Xi Yiqing was upstairs.
"Mom, we don't live together. What are you doing so angry. She was nothing but envy. Who made our house so beautiful! Xi Yizheng simply lay on Xi's mother, for people like Xi Yiqing, what he can do is to ignore it as much as possible. Whether it's her attitude or behavior.
"Let's chirp", Xi's mother kissed her daughter on the left cheek. smiled with satisfaction and said, "That's right, as long as our daughter is well-behaved." Whatever other people's daughters do! After speaking, he opened his bow left and right and kissed his daughter's tender cheek.
"Mom!" Xi Yizheng shouted helplessly. This woman really doesn't have the consciousness of middle age at all, and she often doesn't pay attention to it. However, such a Xi Ma is very good! If he was reborn in a warlord family with strict parenting and full of dogma, Xi Yizheng couldn't help but shudder, and it was terrible to think about.
"Okay, how old are you, and you still can't hold your daughter at every turn. Look, I can't stand you! Xi's father can't stand it anymore, after more than 20 years of marriage, he still can't get used to the hot tricks that his wife comes to play from time to time.
"Cut, I love to hold my daughter and kiss you! Are you jealous? Xi's mother got up and approached Xi's father with a smile, and looked at his old face flushed, and couldn't help laughing.
"Mom, I'm going to special training!" Xi Yidi went downstairs with a suitcase and shouted helplessly in a long voice. At the beginning of the summer vacation, I had to report to the Special Operations Group again. I haven't had enough of the view of the new house.
"What do you sigh! You brought it on yourself. Xi's mother glanced at him. Who asked him to agree to the National Special Operations Group as a reserve force? He deserves to be affected by the cold and heat.
"Little brother, do you want to bring some food?" Xi Yizheng got up and walked to the kitchen, "There are still a lot of cold cakes made yesterday. ”
"Okay, give me a little bit of every taste. There are also two sandy watermelons for me, and I will bring a few to them to taste when a car comes to pick them up. This watermelon tastes several times better than the one sent by the group! Xi Yidi salivated.
Xi Yizheng just learned the fruity cold cake of Yuezhou a while ago, and learned to make it a few times, which is quite popular with his family, so he can appetize in summer with poor appetite. Xi Yidi often said that the cold cakes she made were better than those sold at the Xiangji pastry shop on Chang'an Street, and they also had many flavors. Xi Yizheng took all the fruits in the bracelet and made them.
"How? My sister is very good at crafting, isn't she? Xi Yidi proudly showed off to a few teammates who were immersed in attacking cold cakes.
"Well, it's delicious. Xiang Kee's cold cake is not so authentic. Mo Xiao, one of his teammates, gave a thumbs up and kept his mouth open.
"Ah Di, bring Sister Zheng out next time. Give us a chance to chase her as a wife! Fu Ningrui held the steering wheel with one hand, and from time to time scooped up a few pieces of cold cake and stuffed it into his mouth. I don't know how many times I heard Xi Yizheng mention Xi Yizheng, and his ears were calloused, but he refused to bring them out to let them see him.
"Go aside. The kite is still small! Xi Yidi pursed his lips and joked, if Zheng Zheng was chased by these stingy people to be his wife, he would still be able to enjoy the delicious food she made in the future!
"Seriously, I'm in my second year of high school after the summer vacation, and it's not a puppy love to talk about love. What does it matter. It's just that you're a sister who controls her, and she's stricter than Xi's father! Mo Xiao rolled her eyes disappreciatively. Didn't your cousin Xi Yiqing have a boyfriend in junior high school? I don't even know how many of them are now. Mo Xiao's sister Mo Shuangting and Xi Yiqing are in the same class in junior high school and high school, and they often evaluate Xi Yiqing's arrogance at home.
"She is her, and Zheng Zheng is Zheng Zheng. Don't compare Xi Yiqing, who is not bad at everything, to compare with my sister. Xi Yidi said disdainfully, "Her virtue, sooner or later, she will be thrown into the gutter after being played by a man." ”
Mo Xiao and Fu Ningrui looked at each other and smiled, this person still refuses to admit that he is a sister control! Then grab the remaining pieces of honey bean cold cake.
"Then, you two actually snatched up such a big box of cold cakes, and you won't have your share of the watermelon later!" Xi Yidi mentioned it coldly. There was a wail from the two of them.
After welcoming the delivery to the place to deal with several waves of guests who came to the new house to say goodbye, Xi Yizheng found that he couldn't stand up like his mother.
Fortunately, Xi's mother wisely decided to hire the cook Fang Sister-in-law and Lin Bo, who takes care of the courtyard and housekeeper, for a long time on the day of the moving ceremony, so as to reduce a lot of housework burden on Xi's mother and Xi Yizheng. These two people were all found by Xi Matuo's acquaintances, their backgrounds are simple and reliable, and Sister-in-law Fang and Lin Bo are still distant relatives, and they usually take care of each other. Originally, they were scheduled to take one day off each week, but Sister-in-law Fang and Lin Bo both said that they didn't need a holiday. If the owner is kind, then settle them according to overtime. It turned out that Sister-in-law Fang, except for one daughter, was still studying in college in other places, and the rest of the family members passed away. And Limber himself is single and has no involvement. So, Xi's mother agreed to their request and gave them an overtime pay of 300 yuan per month on the original basis.
Since then, the kitchen of the Xi house has been returned to Fang's sister-in-law Dali. Except for Xi Yizheng who came to cook a big meal for the family for a change of taste, basically, she and Xi's mother got rid of the kitchen chores of three meals a day. Lin Bo is seriously responsible for the safety of the entire Xi Mansion and the cleaning and pruning of the courtyard. Of course, the hygiene of the room at home is still specially cleaned by part-time workers every day. For this reason, Xi's mother also laughed and scolded: "Now we have become capitalists and live a luxurious life of the exploiting class." Xi's father said very doggedly: "As long as my wife is happy, it's worth it!" ”
