Chapter 135: Three Days to Peace
After a turn, the sun was already high. Looking at my watch, it's almost 10 o'clock, and I think of when I told Xi's mother last night that I was going to go to them at noon, Xi's mother was so happy. In fact, it is only about ten minutes' drive from here to Yuanyizhuang, but once you get married, no matter how far or near, there is always a feeling of being far away.
Walking in the garden casually, letting the autumn afternoon sun shine on him, inhaling the tip of his nose, a faint fragrance seems to linger around, the deeper he goes into the garden, the more intense.
Xi Yizheng had long smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers. Yes, it's already autumn, and the fragrance of osmanthus flowers fills the building in August, that's how it feels.
Since the western-style building is built in front of the left side of the entire Zheng Garden, a driveway about four meters wide leads to the gate of the garden.
There is a fountain built in front of the right, and the pool is paved with multicolored rain stones, presumably purchased from the middle. Reflecting the noon sun, it is projected on the four walls of the pool, which is dazzling. The fountain is surrounded by a lush field of fourth-class evergreen trees.
Skirting the fountain and heading out into the back garden, a one-metre path paved with blue bricks winds and turns along with the garden's delicate design. The path is flanked by delicately planted flower beds and shrubs, and at intervals of a few meters, you can always see a few large trees and a three-seater wooden bench under the trees. Yesterday, I confessed to Huo Jun here.
Xi Yizheng walked for more than ten meters, and the scenery in front of him suddenly changed.
A turquoise lawn appeared in front of his eyes.
Yes, directly behind the western-style building is a spacious and open meadow. In the center, however, stands a tall camphor tree that has been transplanted for decades from nowhere, and under the branches and leaves of an umbrella, there is a shade that can accommodate dozens of people, so it is a good pleasure to have a picnic here. Xi Yizheng wolf began to reverie.
No wonder I saw a new tent in the utility room in the basement, if I guessed correctly, Huo Jun should have this intention. Hehe, when I have a baby in the future, it is also a very good experience to take him to play here. The soft lawn won't hurt your baby at all.
Xi Yizheng thought about it, and laughed out loud, but he didn't expect that he had just gotten married, and he began to look forward to the arrival of the baby. However, if that's the case, it's also beautiful.
Further back from the lawn is the fruit forest that Xi Yizheng is familiar with. It is very similar to the fruit forests of Xizhai and Yuanyizhuang, and the types of fruit trees planted are different, and almost all the fruit trees that can be planted in the north have been scooped, and there are no less than ten of each.
Xi Yizheng can foresee how busy he will be in the next year, when these fruit trees mature and bear fruit one after another.
There is a small open space left in the middle of the orchard, presumably for placing baskets and other things when harvesting fruit in the future. At the edge of the clearing were five or six stone benches that resembled tree stumps, and in the middle of them was a stone table in the shape of a mushroom, presumably for resting.
There is also a simple wooden swing between the two large grapefruit trees nearby, which is quite idyllic.
Xi took a circle around the fruit grove with a zither and poured some Xuanbang spring water to improve their disease resistance.
Then he walked back to the western-style building along the way he came, and along the way, he naturally did not forget to pour some Xuanbang spring water on the flowers and plants in the garden.
Returned to the flower hall, re-brewed the pot of herbal tea, leaned on the soft couch and casually flipped through the latest periodicals on the magazine shelves, planning to take a quiet rest for a while, and wait for Huo Jun to come back to pick him up and go back to his parents' house.
It was close to 10 o'clock in the afternoon, and the sound of a car entering the garden gate was heard outside. Xi Yizheng got up briskly, came to the living room, and was about to go out with his bag, when Huo Jun entered the door.
"Take something back." He looked at the impatient little woman amusedly, tapped the tip of her small nose, and pulled her towards the basement pantry.
Although Xi Yizheng was a little puzzled, he also knew that he always had to express himself when he returned to the door for the first time as a son-in-law. Because he has a powerful bracelet in his hand, he has prepared the items needed for his family at any time, so he has never distinguished any holidays and anniversaries.
"Bring all of this." Huo Jun selected several valuable gifts in the storage room, including tonic herbs such as human-shaped wild ginseng, cordyceps, saffron, etc., as well as a set of fully automatic and multi-functional fitness equipment, a set of 36 blue and white porcelain tea sets, and found two boxes of palace version of Wuliangye and two cases of ten-year-old black wine from the French Isat Manor from the wine cellar.
"That's enough." Xi Yizheng called Huo Jun, who wanted to continue to choose, and said with a smile: "What other treasures, you can bring them next time, you see it's more than twelve o'clock now, and they are all waiting for us to have dinner." ”
Huo Jun thought about it, anyway, it was so close, and he could take it to honor his father-in-law and mother-in-law at any time. It's not bad at this time.
So, the two of them happily returned to Ning with so many treasures that could be called bottom-up in Wang Wanru's eyes.
Wang Wanru is indeed very jealous, and this jealousy has gone deep into the bone marrow. In her opinion, unless Fang Chunxi's family goes bankrupt, she can eliminate the jealousy and hatred that is rising in her heart.
looked at the return gift taken from Huo Jun's car, and almost screamed every time he saw it. Why is your daughter married so well, and your own daughter? She turned her head and glared fiercely at Xi Yiqing, who was shrinking behind her and didn't dare to make a sound, she really regretted that she had listened to her brother-in-law's words: she promised her daughter to a widower who had a son.
It's good now, it's really a lifetime of injustice
Xi Yiqing shrank in the corner of the restaurant with an embarrassed face, holding his rice bowl and eating tastelessly picking up the dishes in front of him.
She was brought in by her mother today for her divorce. She really can't stand continuing to be a nominal young grandmother in her husband's house. It's okay to be a babysitter for my stepson all day, but now I am accidentally pregnant and I still force myself to have an abortion, just because I am afraid that after my child is born, I will grab property with that demonic bad boy. Days like this, she has no hope. In any case, she is going to divorce and give birth to this child. Even if there is no longer a chance to marry in the future.
However, Xi Yizheng didn't notice the strange looks of his eldest aunt and cousin, and pulled Xi's mother to chat vigorously. To be honest, I was immediately told that I was going to get married and had been away from home for a whole year, but there was so much to talk about.
Xi's mother is naturally happy to chat with her daughter, instead of taking care of the pair of mother and daughter who are very cheeky and come to the door temporarily.
ruined his good mood of waiting for his daughter to return to the door for no reason, and said something meaningfully on the side: "Zheng Zheng is married to a good husband, look at these gifts, they are worth an apartment." Oh, yes, your son-in-law is a well-known real estate developer in China, what is a set of two apartments, even the richest villa in Beijing and the best location can not be easily obtained."
Xi's mother thought of the Huayiyuan villa that she was really lucky to get at the beginning, and it couldn't really be Huo Jun's secret room to help. Shaking her head, it shouldn't be possible, how old was her daughter at that time, she was just a freshman in high school, not to mention that her daughter at that time had excellent grades and was just handsome, and she couldn't attract the attention of a high-ranking man anyway.
Xi's mother glanced at the intimate whispering family members beside her again, and swallowed her throat suspiciously, even if there is a secret feeling, Zheng Zheng should not know, otherwise she would have come to mention herself a long time ago. In this case, why don't you also pretend not to know, and the two sides of the province are embarrassed. From now on, take more care of Huo Jun and treat him as his own son.
Thinking like this, Xi's mother relaxed and calmly resumed talking to her daughter and son-in-law in a low voice.
A hearty meal, but the people who eat it have different thoughts.
After lunch, Huo Jun wanted to go back to the company as usual, Xi's mother pulled Xi Yizheng and asked her to go back after dinner, and asked Huo Jun to come directly after work.
"Your eldest brother and sister-in-law are also coming over at night, haven't you hugged your nephew yet, stay here." Xi's mother added another fire.
As soon as Xi Yizheng heard that his little nephew was also coming over, he immediately looked at Huo Jun with a blank eye, he just saw him in a hurry at the wedding banquet that day, and teased him a few words, so he didn't want to give up this good opportunity.
Huo Jun nodded amusefully when he saw this, he was also worried that he would not be used to letting her stay alone in the new house in the past few days, so it would be better to be lively with his family in Yuanyi Village.
"Tell me, I came here today to find out what happened." When Old Man Xi saw that Huo Jun had returned to the company, he invited everyone from the Xi family to gather in the big study and questioned Wang Wanru's mother and daughter, with coldness in his words. The heart is full of anger. I don't know what to do, but I actually ran over at the time when the kite returned to the door, which made my appetite much worse.
"Dad, this ......" Wang Wan glanced around Xi Yaozhi and Xi Yizheng who were sitting on the side as if they were going to listen, and they were ashamed and indignant in their hearts.
secretly blamed the old man for not knowing how to see me, he obviously said to him on the phone that he had a private matter to discuss, how could he pull so many people into to see his family's ugliness. Especially Fang Chunxi, who has always been regarded as the object of comparison. What a way for her to speak
"It's all a family, what's the matter." Old Man Xi lightly refuted her hints. Leisurely holding the tea cup, well, the blue and white porcelain tea cup is a different reaction.
"In that case, Dad, let's go out first." Dad Xi had already lost any interest in auditing Wang Wanru's family, if it weren't for Old Man Xi's insistence on asking his family of three to stay, he wouldn't have bothered to look at Wang Wanru's face. Xi's mother is naturally too. Pulling Xi Yizheng is about to leave.
"I said that since we are a family, we will sit together and discuss. What's the matter, say" Old Man Xi raised his tone. Drink to make Xi's parents sit down.
Xi Yizheng still wonders what happened? Unexpectedly, Wang Wanru, who has always been proud and self-assured, pulled Xi Yiqing to come to Yuanyizhuang alone to discuss with his grandfather in an aggrieved manner.
Anyway, didn't the eldest uncle's family clearly and secretly draw a line with their own family? Especially Wang Wanru, if it weren't for the fear that his grandfather would feel uncomfortable, his family would probably not even be happy to let her enter the Zhuangzi gate.
