Chapter 168: The matchmaker pulls the strings
Chapter 168: The matchmaker pulls the strings
"Zheng, thank you." Thank you for ignoring the past suspicions. Xi Yiqing added a reason in her heart. If it weren't for Xi Tai's dividend, she couldn't imagine how she would survive alone with her daughter.
Now even when I go back to my parents' house, I have to be broken by my sister-in-law behind my back. She doesn't know what to do if she doesn't have any source of income.
"Don't take it personally. After all, we're family. Xi Yizheng smiled and shook his head. In fact, at the beginning, she didn't complain, and she did have a trace of resentment towards her grandfather's consideration. If she wasn't worried about her grandfather's physical condition, she wouldn't have taken the initiative to give Xi Yiqing such generous help at that time.
It's just that now, when she is also a mother, and when she sees Xi Yiqing standing in front of her with her well-behaved and sensible baby daughter, her complaints and incomprehension have been explained.
How difficult it will be for a woman, alone with a child, to be surrounded by no source.
Fortunately, she was subjectively reluctant at that time, and objectively obeyed her grandfather's wishes. Fortunately, the subsequent busyness and rush made me have no extra time to regret this decision. And today, after three years, she has no regrets about helping their mother and daughter.
It turns out that many things have not been seen clearly until a long time in the past. Xi Yizheng silently savored the sentence that suddenly popped into his mind.
…………
"Come, Nan, this is a gift from your aunt. I hope you grow up healthy and healthy. Xi Yizheng pretended to be from the leather bag, but in fact he took a violet jade miniature Guanyin statue the size of a thumbnail from Xuanyuan and put it on Nannan's neck.
"Zheng, this ......" Xi Yiqing was a little flattered, Xi Yizheng was able to forgive her, and was already very happy with her and pleasant face, and actually gave her daughter such a delicate and clear Jade Guanyin. She was too embarrassed to accept it.
"It's just a gadget for the kid." Xi Yizheng smiled happily at herself when she saw Nannan, and also gave her a light smile back. For her, this jade piece is indeed a gadget, the best and most delicate carving she carved when she first practiced, so she has been storing it in the study drawer, and she is not willing to throw it away.
"Thank you." Xi Yiqing sincerely thanked her. Now, as long as she is really good to her daughter, she also makes friends with her heart. And like her own sister-in-law, she looks down on herself and always mutters bad things about her daughter, she doesn't even bother to go to her mother's house.
"It's getting late, let's go down together. Huo Jun should be almost there. Xi Yizheng packed up the materials on the desk, picked up his handbag, and then thought of something, and suggested to Xi Yiqing: "Sister Qingqing, if there is nothing to do at home, do you and Nan Nan want to go back to Beijing with us for a while?" I think Grandpa misses you too. ”
Since her unicorn baby did not follow her back, several old people in the family did not say anything on the surface, but she could see that they wanted to hug their great-grandson (great-grandson) from time to time. Of course, Xi's parents are too. It's just that because she is also Si'er's mother, she can't bear not to mention it in front of herself.
"Is that okay?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Xi Yiqing was once again a little flattered to ask for confirmation. She thought she was no longer welcome there.
"Absolutely." Seeing this, Xi Yizheng sighed in his heart. Immediately, he didn't say anything more, picked up Nannan, and took the lead to go downstairs.
"I'll do it anyway." Xi Yiqing took her daughter embarrassedly, followed behind Xi Yizheng, and carefully went downstairs step by step.
Sure enough, as soon as he walked to the hall, he saw Huo Jun's car slowly driving in.
Although he doesn't have a good face for Xi Yiqing, he is still quite good for an obedient and sensible woman.
took a large basket of imported fruits of different types from the back compartment and handed it to the mother and daughter in the back seat. Let them eat fruit to pass the time. He planned to take Xi Yizheng to Baoding City for dinner before returning to Beijing.
After dinner, I drove Xi Yiqing's mother and daughter to the rented house to get a change of clothes, and it was almost eleven o'clock when I returned to Yuanyizhuang.
Xi's father and mother learned that Xi Yiqing's mother and daughter were coming to stay for a while, and after cleaning up a guest room, they made supper in the kitchen.
Xi Yizheng and Huo Jun hurriedly drank a big bowl of hot longan egg custard, and said goodbye and returned to Zheng Garden.
Xi Yiqing's mother and daughter were unscrupulously left by her to Xi's father and mother to take care of. Of course, the next day, there will be three more old people to tease.
"Why did you suddenly think of picking them up for a while?" On the way home, Huo Jun looked at her deeply and asked in a low voice.
"It's not that I'm afraid that grandpa will be boring." Xi replied with a smile.
"Didn't you want to avoid the task of giving birth?" Huo Jun glanced at her, meaning something.
"How come," Xi Yizheng patted him on the shoulder, "Even if I get pregnant immediately, I will have to wait a year." "What's more, she doesn't want to get pregnant right away. At least wait for the immediate work to be put in place.
"I wish you thought so." Huo Jun drove the car intently, but there was obvious suspicion in his tone.
"Husband, I didn't say I wouldn't have it again. But it's been a busy time now. By the way, I have to take the time to enter the Xuan Bracelet to change the position of the Xuan Yuan, I don't know what the Xuan Bracelet will evolve into. It takes a lot of time and effort to do this."
Xi Yizheng was rare to be coquettish to Huo Jun. He's naturally very useful. Regardless of whether her real motives were as pure and harmless as she said, she immediately accelerated forward and went home to enjoy the coquettishness of her wife.
…………
For the next period of time, Xi Yizheng has been very busy. Not to mention that "Sweeping Jewels" needs her to be in charge, because her pair of masters and mothers, who love to travel, have gone abroad for a honeymoon for an unknown number of times since she came back.
Then it was Sitai's business. Huo Jun helped her find a very good commercial land. It took a lot of thought, and I finally got the bid.
No, she was rushing to design the construction project of the factory during this time. I selected three very prestigious design companies, and then compared the design drafts they produced, compared them again and again, and finally determined the model drawings of Xitai's new factory.
The engineering team is still the benchmark team of Huo's enterprise. After exchanging opinions with the team leader and determining the construction progress of the entire construction period, she was finally able to rest.
On a sunny early summer afternoon, Xi Yizheng Nest was enjoying the lotus seed white fungus and red date soup stewed by Xi Ma in Yuanyi Village.
"Zheng, do you remember Sister-in-law Fang's daughter?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Xi's mother washed another plate of very seasonal red cherries from the kitchen and handed it to Xi Yizheng, who had finished drinking the white fungus soup. Her daughter's favorite fruit is cherries. Cherries, red cherries, are her favorites. No, in the fruit grove of Yuanyizhuang, the cherries harvested were not sent to outsiders, and the fresh ones could not be eaten, so they were used to make cherry wine.
"By the way, Zhengzheng, did your little brother say that he was going to Myanmar on a business trip recently?" No mistakes, no word skipping.
Xi's mother remembered that her youngest son came home a few days ago to pack his luggage, saying that he was going to Myanmar on a business trip in the past two days. As soon as she heard that it was Myanmar, the place where her daughter and son-in-law lost contact for two years, Xi's mother panicked.
"Yes, I asked him to run for me." Xi Yizheng nodded, before there was hope, she didn't dare to rashly tell Xi's parents that Xi Yidi was abducted by her to go to Myanmar for a blind date. With Xi's mother's heartfelt temperament, maybe it will reach Xi Yidi's ears. Wouldn't his own plan be in vain?
"Nothing will happen, will it? There are many words without mistakes," Xi's mother was a little worried.
Xi Yizheng couldn't cry or laugh, "Mom, it's not a mountain of swords and a sea of fire, it's just an errand." It was a few days, a week, and he was back. ”
Of course, if he has a play with Helian Feng and is reluctant to come back, it will be another matter.
That's right, this time Xi Yidi went to the underground casino in Myanmar, nominally entrusted by himself to go to Helian Feng to discuss the new plan of the casino. Otherwise, he wouldn't have doubted his purpose. As for whether two people call or not, and whether it will be successful or not, it depends on the two parties. She just gave the two a chance to meet. Hopefully there will be a happy ending.
…………
"What? Want to marry off your little brother? ”
That night, Huo Jun came to Yuanyizhuang to pick her up, and learned that Xi Yidi was about to leave for the underground casino in Myanmar, and then looked at a few traces of naughtiness flashing in his wife's eyes, knowing that she was intentionally matching Xi Yidi and Helian Feng.
"Do you think they'll make it?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Xi Yizheng propped his chin and turned his head with some expectation to ask Huo Jun, who was concentrating on driving the car next to him.
"It's hard to say." Huo Jun shook his head, then bent the corners of his mouth, stretched out his right hand and rubbed her hair, "When did you like to be a matchmaker?" ”
"It's not that I'm worried about my little brother, with his temperament, it's really not easy for him to find a suitable other half before the age of thirty." Xi Yizheng thought of the interesting story that Xi's mother told her about Xi Yidi's blind date, and suddenly burst into laughter.
Any woman who goes on a blind date with Xi Yidi will eventually become one of his fan groups - because of his talkative and kung fu. or completely isolated from his life circle - because he really doesn't like rigid women with a single look.
If those "white bone spirit" women who are diligent in their careers and require petty bourgeoisie in life are classified as boring and dull women by her little brother, and those innocent and lovely college graduates are classified by him as members of the fan group of the little sister family, then what hope is there for his marriage. No wonder Xi's mother was angry with him.
"Men and women sometimes just need one glance." Huo Jun raised the corners of his lips and said softly. For example, isn't he a lifelong ruler?
"Isn't there still a long-lasting relationship?" No mistakes, no word skipping. Xi Yizheng asked puzzledly, should she belong to Huo Jun like this.
"Perhaps. But very little. "Men, mostly visual creatures, know at a glance whether they like each other or not. If you don't like it, no matter how much time you spend, you won't make much progress. Unless, he himself recognized the mistake from the beginning and regarded the woman he liked as disliked.
