Chapter 90: Adulthood

Chapter 90: Adult Birthday

In the following time, Xi Yizheng had a very smooth life, and it can be said that he had a very comfortable time. Every day, I regularly browse the ordering situation on my own website, spend an hour packing and shipping every afternoon, go to the "banquet room" of the Huo Building two to three days a week, and then make an appointment with Huo Jun to have a big meal by the way after work, and occasionally accompany the old men at home to visit Zhuangzi to pick fruits, help Xi's father add fertilizer and soil to his medicine garden, and give Xi's mother and sister-in-law all new snacks and dishes. During this period, she also went to BGI to participate in the internal professional selection examination, and not surprisingly, she was admitted to jadeite carving and design as she wished. Just wait for September 12th to report on the start of school.

The time soon came to early summer, and on June 5, the 18th birthday of Xi Yidi and Xi Yizheng twin siblings was also their coming-of-age ceremony. Early in the morning, Xi's mother was busy in the kitchen, cooking longevity noodles for the two brothers and sisters for breakfast. At noon, they must eat vegetarian food on the mountain, and the engagement banquet in the evening is set up in the six-star Kyoto Hotel, so only breakfast is eaten at home, and after eating, the two brothers and sisters have to go to Huayingshan Puji Temple to pray for their birthday.

"Mom, Huo Jun said he would come to pick us up, so there's no need to leave in a hurry." Xi Yizheng got up and practiced in the garden, made a set of Indian yoga that he had just learned not long ago, and just after returning to the room to wash up, Huo Jun called, saying that he would pick them up half an hour later, and went to Huaying Mountain, where the incense was the most prosperous, in the eastern suburbs of the capital, to pray. No, she rushed to the kitchen to inform Xi's mother, lest she be in a hurry and beckoned Xi's father to drive to the lead.

"He can't get in a car when he comes to pick him up, so let your dad take the old men first." I said, you two brothers and sisters' birthday wishes, what are the old men doing to join in the fun, but they don't listen, they have to go. Fortunately, the weather is good today, and it is good to climb Huaying Mountain. Xi's mother took the shou noodles into the bowl while nagging, and motioned for her daughter to eat while it was hot, "Where's your little brother?" Haven't gotten up yet? Stinky boy, I don't know how to be positive on such a grand day. ”

"The little brother is up, and he is worried about which set of clothes to wear" Xi Yizheng snickered, thinking that Xi Yidi had spread out a big bed of clothes, and it was funny to put on and take off each one to try on, but I didn't expect the little brother who has always been grinning to have such a performance

"Smack" "Laughing at me, aren't you?" Xi Yidi rushed into the kitchen, and happened to hear Xi Yizheng's snickering explanation and gave her a forehead slap.

"Ouch, don't I praise you for being serious" Xi Yizheng rubbed his reddened forehead, dead boy, he shot so hard

"Don't say it, I'm not here for your engagement" Xi Yidi spontaneously filled a bowl of shou noodles, swallowed a mouthful, and said vaguely.

"Don't be poor, Huo Jun has arrived. Hurry. Xi's mother saw Huo Jun who entered the door with Xi's father with a happy face at the window, and hurriedly urged a pair of birthday stars to quickly finish the noodles and prepare to leave.

"I said let's open our eyes today, what kind of car did Ah Jun drive to pick us up? Hahaha" Xi's father laughed all the way from the outer hall into the kitchen with a loud voice. Seeing three pairs of big black eyes glaring at him in unison, he hurriedly said: "It's an elongated dry horse RV, it can seat 13 people, haha, our family is still empty for all ages haha" What? Extended motorhome? Dry horse Xi jumped up excitedly with a flute, ran to the outer courtyard, passed by Huo Jun, who was just about to enter the kitchen, and gave him a thumbs up.

Huo Jun shook his head with a smile and beckoned to Xi Yizheng, "I have something for you." ”

Xi Yizheng delighted him with a cute expression of doubt, took her hand to Guanfang Pavilion, took out a small wooden box from his trouser pocket, opened it, and it turned out to be a miniature blood jade Guanyin, hung on her neck, and said softly: "This is the ancestral inheritance of the Huo family, and the daughter-in-law is not the heirloom." My mother left it to me before she passed away, so that I could polish my eyes and give it to the only true love of my life. And you," he paused, and swore word by word: "I am the only one in this life, Yizheng, I will wait for you to grow up, but, since you have brought it, you are not allowed to leave casually, do you know?" Well? Xi Yizheng looked at Huo Jun, who had never been so serious, and nodded subconsciously. The corners of Huo Jun's lips rose, and an affectionate kiss was imprinted on her lips: "Happy Birthday" She closed, trembling her eyelashes to bear the kiss pecks he regarded as treasures, and murmured his name: "Huo Jun... Huo Jun..."

The Puji Temple in Huaying Mountain burns incense every day. Since the end of the Qing Dynasty and the beginning of the Republic of China, people living in this area have come here to pray for blessings every big birthday or anniversary. Over the past hundred years, it has also become a lively scene in Beijing. When the elongated dry horse RV drove into the entrance of Huaying Mountain, it drove along the winding mountain road to the Puji Temple located on the side of the mountainside, attracting the warm eyes of passing pilgrims, who were either envious or jealous. Which family is this, come to the temple to pray with such fanfare.

And this trip is the Xi family who came here to pray for the adult blessing of the brother and sister. The whole prayer ceremony takes a full 2 hours: prayer, chanting, prayer, three prostrations, and blessings, and the whole procedure is over, and it is already the middle of the day, and it is noon. The group ordered a vegetarian banquet in the fasting room of Puji Temple, and after eating, Huo Jun sent a driver to send the three old people back to Yuanyizhuang to rest first, and he accompanied Xi Yizheng brothers and sisters to the car shop to choose a coming-of-age ceremony.

He had already thought about giving Xi Yizheng a car as soon as she turned 18 years old, so that every time she traveled alone, she couldn't get a taxi and had to rush to the subway. Xi Yidi has long coveted his eldest brother's German brand off-road, and he chose the same off-road. However, he grinded for a long time, and Xi's father only promised to sponsor him 200,000, which was enough. So, when he learned that Huo Jun was going to give his little sister a car, he rubbed to Huo Jun's side, hoping to get some sponsorship.

Huo Jun looked at Xi Yidi, who had a complicated look on him since the beginning of the hike, and it was rare for him to be by his side so much. Nodding in agreement. Xi Yidi clapped his palms excitedly and jumped to choose a car.

"What about you? Is there anything important? Huo Jun held Xi Yizheng and browsed around various cars.

"Well, forget it, I haven't got my driver's license yet." Xi Yizheng shook his head and refused, the little brother had a driving lesson during the special training, as long as he was 18, he could just go and get a driver's license. And I haven't even touched the driver's seat. Sending the car home is also placed there, which takes up seats and collects dust. Let's wait until the test comes out.

"You can get a driver's license in less than two months, choose what you like first, maybe you need to book in advance if you like it" Huo Jun felt that the mini Daben was quite suitable for her to drive, and finally asked, sure enough, the latest model with the extreme configuration does need to be booked in advance, and it will take 1 month to mention the car at the earliest.

"That's it, contact us when the car arrives." Huo Jun clapped the board, and the staff in the car dealership were all smiling, this is a god of wealth, but two valuable cars were finalized in half an hour.

Xi Yidi's favorite off-road, black this top configuration also needs to be pre-ordered. It will take a month at the earliest. Xi Yidi muttered unhappily: Everything has to be booked, what kind of car to drive

When the staff heard this, they muttered in their hearts: Master, the two cars you fancy are imported from Germany, and you are required to return what kind of top configuration, you go to Beijing to ask which car dealership to recognize, presumably they are all to be booked. We're okay, and we've got into a silver-gray top-of-the-road off-road, don't you young master look down on the black one. Of course, they dare to complain in their hearts, and their mouths are sweet.

Who made them God, or a God who was rich enough to stone them. It doesn't matter if Xi Yizheng arrives, he doesn't know if he can get his driver's license before the car arrives.

"Brother Huo, I'll ask my dad to give you the fixed amount when I go back." On the way back, Xi Yidi rubbed his hands embarrassedly, thinking that his father's 200,000, the 200,000 he had saved for many years, and then let him sponsor a 100,000 ordinary configuration off-road would almost be easy to drive home directly. He repeatedly emphasized that there was no need for the top match, but people didn't let him, and he had to buy the best and safest. Well, he was silent on the sidelines, who let himself with a net worth of 200,000 yuan have no right to speak. Xiaomei's mini Daben is also, obviously 300,000 can get everything done and pick up the car immediately, he has to ask for the most luxurious and high-quality configuration, no, the scooter for 2 seats also cost 1 million. Is there really so much money that it needs to be burned? Xi Yidi really wanted to ask Huo Jun: How much net worth does the Huo family have, and giving their brothers and sisters a coming-of-age gift actually spent enough money to buy a small apartment in the center of Beijing. If the uncle's family, especially the snobbish aunt, knew about this, his mouth would be crooked to the side - he couldn't close it.

"No need. Since I promised to send it to you, what do you do with it? Huo Jun glanced at him, "As long as you don't count my mistakes in front of Zheng, it's done." ”

"Which... How can there be, I don't believe you, ask the kite. Little sister, you tell him that I haven't said anything bad about him since I was caught red-handed by him last time. Besides, that's not a bad word." Xi Yidi was so excited by Huo Jun's slanted words that he blushed and was anxious to defend himself. What's more, there is so much age difference between the two, "After you two get engaged tonight, what shall I call you?" Xi Yidi was in a hurry and threw out this sentence directly, but he was really stunned.

"What?" This time Xi Yidi was stunned, good guy, he actually threw the problem back to himself. accepted such a big gift from him, as the saying goes: the mouth that eats people is soft, and the hands that take people are short. I have received so many benefits from him, I can't dare to boldly call him my brother-in-law. Alas, I thought that my little sister would have a partner in the future, and I could still slap each other on the shoulder wantonly, shouting "Brother-in-law" Now it seems that this may be completely gone. looked at his little sister sadly: "Zheng" tone is pitiful.
