Zheng Qiuping was preparing breakfast in the kitchen, when someone suddenly reached out and hugged her from behind and called "grandma" coquettishly in her ear.

The stunned expression immediately turned into a kind smile, Zheng Qiuping glanced sideways at Chu Xinyi, and said angrily: "Grandma is old, but I can't help but be scared of you." ”

Chu Xinyi giggled twice before pouting and complaining: "How can I be willing to scare grandma, people just want to hug you." ”

"Alright, alright, I know." Zheng Qiuping's tone seemed to be a little impatient, but the corners of her mouth couldn't hide the joy in her heart, she just liked to be so attached to her baby granddaughter. Looking at the clock and finding that Chu Xinyi came to the kitchen earlier than usual to make trouble, Zheng Qiuping asked distressedly, "You haven't slept all night?" Haven't the jet lag been reversed? ”

"Jet lag is not the main reason, I stayed up all night and finally finished writing the song that I was going to hand over to Gu Yi today." Chu Xinyi shook her head lazily, the time of the song was so rushed, if it wasn't for Gu Yi to speak, she would definitely not take over this job.

Chu Xinyi is a person who knows how to repay her kindness, although Gu Yi is in business, but if she does not get his approval, it is impossible for her to earn money on her own to complete the three-year undergraduate course of the Royal Academy of Music and get a bachelor's degree in music. Therefore, even though she has now become a hot songwriter in the entertainment industry, she will never refuse Gu Yi's job offer.

"You've only been back for a few days, why don't you take a good rest and just *a* book* read *little* and say that ybdu has started working, aren't you afraid that your grandparents will be distressed?" Zheng Qiuping complained and sped up the movements of his hands: "Breakfast will be ready soon, you go to the yard and call your grandfather." When you're full, you go to sleep for a while. ”

"Okay, I'll call Grandpa." Chu Xinyi let go of her hand, turned around and ran towards the courtyard.

Chu Weiqi was formerly the commander of a certain military region, but now retired, but he has the habit of morning transportation every morning. Pushing open the door, Chu Xinyi saw his sturdy back.

"Grandpa, it's time for breakfast." Chu Xinyi screamed sweetly, for her, her grandparents are people who are closer to her parents than her parents. Her parents were martyrs, and because she died early, her impression of her parents was limited to a few photos.

"Ten minutes to go." Chu Weiqi responded, did not stop the movements of his hands, and still played Tai Chi seriously.

"Then I'll accompany Grandpa." Chu Xinyi ran to Chu Weiqi's side with a smile, followed his example, and did a very good job in every move.

Looking at Chu Xinyi's decent movements, Chu Weiqi's eyes showed a complicated look. His granddaughter has been smart and clever since she was a child, and it is really not an exaggeration to say that she can be literate and martial, if it weren't for the painful blow of losing her granddaughter after losing her son and daughter-in-law, he would definitely send such a talent to the army.

Chu Xinyi guessed his mind from Chu Weiqi's gaze, she didn't want him to be sad, so she jumped beside him with a smile, shook his arm coquettishly, and begged pitifully: "Grandpa, I'm hungry, let's go back to the house for dinner." ”

"Okay, okay, let's go to dinner, if our precious granddaughter starves, your grandmother still has to fight with me, then do you want my old bones?" Chu Weiqi no longer cared about time, and entered the house with Chu Xinyi talking and laughing.

After breakfast, Chu Xinyi took a shower and threw herself on her soft big bed, but half an hour passed, and she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes early in the morning, but she couldn't sleep after tossing and turning, and the serious lack of sleep made her head hurt more and more.

got up in a daze, grabbed the sports suit and put it on, Chu Xinyi went downstairs with her pillow in her arms.

Half-squinting all the way, he stumbled to his destination, which was the swing chair placed in the yard. She curled up and lay down, bathed in the warm sun, and in the gentle swaying of her chair, fell into a deep sleep in a few moments.

As the deputy mayor, Ning Ronghao accompanied the mayor to attend the "August 1st" Army Day and the Double Support Work Commendation Conference. After the end, he was arrested by Ning Guoen, the secretary of the provincial party committee, that is, his father, as a driver, and went to the military compound to visit the old head of the former army.

"You wait here, I'll go in alone." Ning Guoen got out of the car alone while speaking, and walked into a two-story single-family villa with green plants in the courtyard.

"Teacher Zheng, I'm here to see you and the old chief." As soon as he entered the door, Ning Guoen greeted Zheng Qiuping in a loud voice, handed her the fruit basket he was holding, and asked, "Is the old chief at home?" ”

Although Zheng Qiuping was the vice president of the National Defense University before his retirement, when Ning Guoen first met the chief's wife, she was just a teacher, so he used to call her "Teacher Zheng".

"In, in, come in, come in." Zheng Qiuping beckoned Ning Guoen to come in, and shouted into the living room: "Comrade Weiqi, come out quickly, Guoen is here." ”

Chu Weiqi, who was sitting on the sofa pruning potted plants, looked at the entrance through the hollow partition, and said with a smile: "Welcome, welcome, Guoen, come and see my new favorite." ”

"Okay." Ning Guoen responded, but he didn't rush inside.

"This old man, he is becoming less and less attentive to the impact of his speech, and he is still ......a new favorite," Zheng Qiuping glared in the direction of the living room, and turned back to Ning Guoen and explained: "He is talking about the real cypress sketch bonsai he newly obtained." ”

"Can I not know about the old chief's hobbies?" After a pause, Ning Guoen lowered his voice and asked, "Teacher Zheng, when I just came in, I saw a young girl sleeping on a chair outside, that is ......"

"Huh? The girl ran out to sleep again? Zheng Qiuping sighed helplessly: "Who else can sleep outside my house?" It's Xinyi. ”

"She's back from England?" Ning Guoen's eyes lit up, he really came to the right place today.

"Well, it's not a graduation, and it's been less than a week since I came back." While talking, Zheng Qiuping walked out: "I have to let that girl go back to her room to sleep......"

When Ning Guoen heard this, he hurriedly stopped Zheng Qiuping: "Teacher Zheng, don't be busy calling her first, let's make me a cup of Pu'er treasured by the old chief, anyway, there are guards outside, and it is safe for the child to sleep in the yard." ”

"This ...... Then you go to the living room and sit, and I'll make you tea. Zheng Qiuping hesitated, but still listened to Ning Guoen's words and walked to the kitchen.

Ning Guoen entered the living room, sat next to Chu Weiqi, carefully looked at the bonsai he was fiddling with, and praised: "This bonsai is both rigid and soft, and the overall artistic conception is good. The main trunk of the real cypress adopts a curved dry shape, which looks like a dragon taking off in the air. ”

Chu Weiqi was amused by Ning Guoen's exaggerated tone, lowered his head slightly, looked at him a few times from the top of his reading glasses, and said, "You don't have to make a fuss here, today is August 1st, I know you will definitely come to see me." Now that you've seen it, you can go back quickly, but don't delay your work. ”

"Thank you for your concern, and please rest assured, I still have some time, you let me sit down again and drink saliva." Hearing that the old chief unceremoniously ordered the eviction of customers, Ning Guoen had no intention of leaving, because he still had something to say.

"Then sit for another five minutes, you are now the secretary of the provincial party committee, instead of spending time with me, an old man, it is better to do more practical things for the people." After speaking, Chu Weiqi looked at the clock and began to time it in his heart.

"Yes, yes, I know that I will never forget the chief's earnest admonitions." Ning Guoen nodded yes, and at the same time took out an orange that Chu Weiqi liked to eat from the fruit bowl placed on the coffee table, peeled it and put it in front of him, and then asked with a smile: "Old chief, do you know if Xinyi has a boyfriend?" ”

Chu Weiqi immediately understood the meaning of these words, he put down the pruning scissors in his hand, glared at Ning Guoen and said, "I said why did you stay here with me and refused to leave, it turned out that you were beating my granddaughter's idea." ”

"Look at what the chief said, how dare I hit your granddaughter's idea. I was just thinking, my eldest son is also thirty years old this year, and I can pat my chest on that child's character and assure you. You see, can you let the two children ......" Ning Guoen unconsciously showed pride as soon as he mentioned his eldest son.

"My granddaughter has just graduated from college and has just come back from abroad, I don't want to marry her so early, why do I have to stay for another five or six years." Chu Weiqi's expression was a little strange, as if he was afraid that his treasure would be snatched away, and he waved his hand and shook his head: "I think this matter will be left at that......"

"I think that's it." Zheng Qiuping walked into the living room with a teacup, and said completely opposite opinions at the same time as Chu Weiqi.

Ning Ronghao sat in the car and closed his eyes to recuperate, and suddenly heard a mobile phone ringing, followed the sound and looked over, only to find that Ning Guoen had put his mobile phone in the car. Afraid of delaying his father's work, he hurriedly got out of the car with his mobile phone.

The guards saw that Ning Ronghao got out of Ning Guoen's car, and after asking him what he meant, he let him in.

As soon as Ning Ronghao entered the courtyard, he saw Chu Xinyi sleeping on the swing chair.

Fluffy short black hair, wavy curls at the ends of the hair casually attached to her face, playful with a bit of laziness. I don't know if the daylight near noon is too bright, or her existence is more dazzling than the sun, Ning Ronghao feels that the girl in front of her is like a crystal clear, flashing with gorgeous and colorful light.

For a moment, he couldn't take his eyes off her.

Zheng Qiuping sent Ning Guoen out, and happened to see two young people in the courtyard, one sleeping sweetly, and the other fascinated. The two looked at each other and smiled, both feeling that this in-law was decided.

After getting into the car, Ning Guoen called the secretary, and after handling the work, he confessed a private matter.

"Handle the work tomorrow, if there is a party in the evening, I will find a way to push it off, go here to meet an important person, I have asked Secretary Zhang to book a seat." Ning Guoen took advantage of the time to wait for the red light and handed a note with the address to Ning Ronghao.

"Dad, are you asking me to go on a blind date?" Ning Ronghao took the note and sandwiched it in a notepad.

Ning Guoen nodded: "Yes, I just let you go on a blind date." You don't have to think about family background or anything, the most important thing is character, if you think it's suitable after meeting, you will have a wedding this year. ”

Hearing his father's affirmative answer and the proposal of flash marriage, Ning Ronghao frowned, although he was reluctant, but since it was already a set date, he didn't mind going to meet him. It's just that he has no plans to get married for the time being.

"Dad, you should know what I think...... Ning Ronghao respects his father, but he never blindly obeys.

Ning Guoen shook his head, signaling Ning Ronghao not to talk any more, he said earnestly: "I know that you still have that child in mind, but so many years have passed, and you have no news of her at all...... I didn't ask you about your feelings before, because I know that you have been an assertive and responsible child since you were a child, so I respect your choice. But we have a word first, and everything will end when you are thirty years old. You are thirty-two years old this year, and I haven't urged you to get married in the past two years because I don't have a daughter-in-law to choose from. However, I hope you can grasp this girl who will let you meet tomorrow. ”

Ning Ronghao was silent for a moment before he chuckled and said, "It seems that my father really likes this daughter-in-law candidate." However, I can only guarantee that I will meet on time, and I have reservations about whether I will be with her in the future. ”

"Hahaha......" Ning Guoen laughed a few times, deliberately sold a pass, and did not explain that the object of the blind date was the girl who had just stunned Ning Ronghao: "Father, I will not engage in arranged marriages in feudal society, how you develop in the future is your business." I'm just reminding you as an elder to take control of your own happiness. And, I'm sure you'll agree with my decision when you meet. ”

Ning Ronghao smiled noncommittally, a girl has been rooted in his heart for fourteen years, how can he give up if he says give up. Therefore, tomorrow's blind date is just a date that must be observed, and as for the result, it has already been doomed.

Chu Xinyi sat cross-legged on the sofa, sleepily tugging at her ears, wondering if it was having auditory hallucinations. Otherwise, how could a twenty-two-year-old young and beautiful girl hear the two words exclusive to older leftover girls - blind date.

"Don't abuse your ears, you heard me right, your grandma just asked you to go on a blind date." Chu Weiqi believed that Chu Xinyi would definitely stand on the same front as him, and the grandfather and grandson worked together to sabotage this sudden and inexplicable blind date.

Chu Xinyi's lips just moved, and before she could say a word, Zheng Qiuping opened her mouth and deprived her of the right to speak very imposingly: "Grandma doesn't want to hear any excuse, you just have to remember, tomorrow night at six o'clock, Mantelin Western Restaurant, you honestly give me a blind date!" ”

Although there were frequent glances of encouragement from Chu Weiqi's direction, Chu Xinyi obediently shut up. There's no need to make grandma angry because of an irrelevant man.

Isn't it just a blind date, it's not a big deal, not to mention that the coffee in Mantelling Western Restaurant is very famous, and the coffee used is Mantrin coffee beans produced in Sumatra, Indonesia, with a caramel-like special aroma and a mellow taste, when she studied in the UK, she really missed the taste.

So, tomorrow's blind date, she should go for a cup of coffee.
