Chapter 778: The first meeting of the two old fathers-in-law.
Campus life is stable and beautiful.
Seeing that Liu Ningqing's belly was getting bigger day by day.
Summer passed quietly, and in August and September, the temperature gradually cooled.
Liu Ningqing is also six or seven months pregnant.
It is expected that the delivery period will be just in time for this Chinese New Year.
Liu Ningqing's current actions are a little inconvenient, although it is not particularly unusual for college students to be pregnant in class.
But after all, Liu Ningqing is still a little afraid of society, and now she is still going to class every day with a big belly, and many people can't help but peek at and talk about it.
And it is inevitable to climb the stairs every day in class, and when the class is over, there are crowds, although Wang Ningning is protecting them, but they are still afraid of bumping into them.
So Xu Zhimu planned to directly let her take a break from class for a while, and just rest at home.
If you have nothing to do, take her and a few girls to the beach for a vacation, or go to Kyoto, let Liu Ningqing get along with her grandparents for a few days, basically Xu Zhimu will take her with him wherever he goes.
In Kyoto, Xu Zhimu also bought a villa, and he will definitely have more than one or two children in the future.
After all, there are only three wives.
Therefore, there must always be a place to stay where you go often.
Moreover, every time he and Liu Ningqing came to Kyoto, no matter how busy Ye Luojia was, he would take the time to come and see them and have a meal together.
And usually when Xu Zhimu and Liu Ningqing are not there, Ye Luojia will come over from time to time, and sometimes help pick up Xiao Wu to and from school.
When they ate together, grandparents couldn't help but boast.
"Jiajia, this girl is so good, she is usually so busy with big business, and she will come to see us two old guys."
And Ye Luojia always shook his head with a hot face: "It should be... I'm close to see and help. ”
Time may really polish everything.
Feelings are always slowly nurtured in constant getting along.
Between Liu Ningqing and Ye Luojia, they have gradually changed from the previous state of deliberately avoiding each other, and even if they meet, they are speechless to each other, and they have gradually become able to chat from time to time, and even Liu Ningqing will let Ye Luojia touch her belly.
Moreover, it is also very close to Ye Luojia's birthday, and every time he goes to Ye Qinghai for dinner during this time, he will always mention these things.
When people are old, they always worry about their children's lifelong affairs.
In fact, Xu Zhimu thought that he would live like this in the future.
Is that also to give Ye Qinghai and Liu Jun, the two old men, a chance to meet.
But the gap between Ye Qinghai and Liu Jun's identities is too big.
One is a man who has been holding a golden soup spoon since he was a child, rising step by step, and can shake three times by stomping his feet in the entire Kyoto business district.
One is from a mountain village and had to leave his hometown for some meager income, and even now, he is just a small owner of a fish stall.
Maybe both of them can not care about the identity of the other.
However, the natural differences and lifestyles of this identity have been carved into the bones, and it is counterproductive to insist on it.
Xu Zhimu has been thinking about this for the past two days.
Liu Ningqing, who was wearing loose maternity clothes, walked over: "Zhimu, let's go to the fish stall and have a look?" In the evening, Jiajia is coming, and we will cook fish to eat. ”
"Okay."
Xu Zhimu forgot the thoughts in his mind first, walked over and gently held her waist, as the fetus developed better and better.
For the mother, it is also a burden, after all, it is equivalent to tying more than ten pounds of weight to the stomach.
Liu Ningqing always felt back pain during this time.
Xu Zhimu's hand was on her waist and rubbed gently: "Why don't I go by myself, you lie down at home and rest." ”
"I don't want to lie down, the more I lie down, the more uncomfortable it becomes, so let's take a walk."
"Okay, then it's hard wife."
Xu Zhimu gently dragged her waist and went out with her, and arrived at the vegetable market in about ten minutes.
The vegetable market is lively, Liu Ningqing hasn't been in the kitchen for a long time, and she is rarely asked to buy vegetables.
But Liu Ningqing likes to visit the vegetable market very much, and her eyes light up when she sees a dazzling array of dishes.
Xu Zhimu couldn't help but smile: "Other girls can't take their eyes off when they see brand-name bags and cosmetics, it's good for you, every time you come to the vegetable market to be happy." ”
Liu Ningqing's face was slightly red, but looking at the fresh vegetables in front of him, there were all kinds of seafood curiosities.
Her tone was soft: "Bags and stuff can't fill your stomach, what you can eat is good." ”
Very simple thoughts.
Xu Zhimu can understand her, after all, Liu Ningqing is a person who has really suffered from hunger.
For them, a five- or six-figure brand-name bag is simply unrealistic, and when they are really hungry, it is better to change their nests and hold them with peace of mind.
"You, it's harder to expect you to be a loser than to become the richest man in the world."
Xu Zhimu laughed and teased her.
Liu Ningqing snorted, came to the vegetable stall and looked, the red peppers, Liu Ningqing actually likes to eat slightly heavier flavors.
After all, there is a lot of humidity in the mountains, and eating some chili pepper can ward off the cold.
And generally speaking, the poorer the place, the heavier the taste of eating, because it is strong to work in this way, and it is easy to eat.
I still remember that when college just started, Liu Ningqing nibbled on pickled steamed buns every day, or a bowl of rice with a little greens.
When she saw the chili pepper, she subconsciously asked for the price.
"Boss, how do you sell this pepper?"
"Five yuan a catty, all freshly picked, you see."
"Five dollars is a bit expensive..."
"Four-five?"
"Three pieces of five."
"That's not good, these are all good green peppers."
"Four pieces."
"Yes, this chili pepper is good, how much do you want?" The boss began to take the bag and start filling the peppers.
"Oh... I forgot I could not eat chili..."
Liu Ningqing suddenly reacted, she is still used to eating spicy food, but since she was pregnant, she has never eaten a mouthful of spicy.
Boss:_
Are you kidding me here?
After bargaining for a long time, he took such a sentence, but when he saw Liu Ningqing's bulging belly, he also smiled helplessly.
Xu Zhimu couldn't help but laugh on the side, as the saying goes, a pregnancy is stupid for three years, and sometimes Liu Ningqing feels confused.
"Let's go, I'll give my husband today's food to buy."
Xu Zhimu pulled her and walked around the vegetable market.
In the end, I have to go to the fish stall and wait for the old man to collect the stall together, and take a fish back to eat by the way.
And at the moment in front of the fish stall.
Liu Jun is busy loading fish for customers, he is very honest in business, and the price is just enough to make some money.
And every time he buys fish, he chooses it himself, so the reputation in the entire vegetable market is very good.
There were still two or three fish left in the pot, and the fattest one was left to be brought back to her daughter to eat.
Liu Jun is going to close the stall today.
At this moment, a figure suddenly stood in front of him.
Liu Jun raised his head, and across from him was a middle-aged man who looked slightly older than him.
Wearing a pair of sunglasses, I can't see the whole picture, and I am wearing light-colored clothes, which looks simple, but it gives people a special feeling.
He was tall and stood in place, a little out of place with the lively atmosphere of the vegetable market.
"You buy fish?" Liu Jun just looked at him a little and asked.
The eyes of the man on the opposite side looked at Liu Jun's body.
Liu Jun, who was wearing a fish-killing apron, could also see some fish scales on the rubber shoes under his feet, and there were also some traces of fish-killing scattered around.
Compared with men's meticulous hairstyles, and shiny leather shoes, and decent dressing, it is like two extremes.
"Buy fish."
The man slowly withdrew his gaze under his sunglasses and nodded.
Now there are only three fish in the tank.
Liu Jun looked at it, but gave him the smallest one.
"What do you think of this?" Liu Jun asked.
The man looked at the basin, but it was a little strange: "This should be the smallest one, you are a trader, shouldn't you recommend the big one to me?" ”
Liu Jun shook his head: "This one broke the scales in the morning, and it's not very new now." ”
"Doesn't this look like it's still alive? The average person can't see it. ”
"Then I can't use the money from other people's live fish to sell other people's half-dead fish."
Although Liu Jun is taciturn, he has always been very sincere in his life and work.
The man on the other side was stunned, then looked at another fish and pointed: "What about this one?" ”
"I'm sorry, this one is not for sale, there are guests at home, and it has to be left for the family to eat."
Liu Jun shook his head.
The man looked at him again, but his tone changed slightly: "I'll give you double the money." ”
"Sorry, not for sale."
"Ten times?"
"You can't sell it for any amount of money."
Liu Jun shook his head, and then picked up the smaller fish in his hand: "If you really want to eat it, this fish will be given to you, and I can keep it for you when there is a big fish tomorrow." ”
Liu Jun's words carried a kind of loyalty of mountain people.
The man opposite was stunned for a while, and then suddenly smiled: "Then thank you." ”
Liu Jun processed the fish in his hand, packed it and handed it over.
The man stretched out his hand to take it and looked at him again: "You really don't want money?" ”
"No, it's going to be closed."
Liu Jun shook his head, and quickly began to clean up the stall.
The man took the fish in his hand and nodded: "Okay, I'll come back tomorrow, please help me keep a fish." ”
With that, he turned and left.
The man had just left on his front foot.
Xu Zhimu and Liu Ningqing walked there.
"Dad."
"Hey, I'll leave when I get the fish in order."
Liu Jun answered, looking at his daughter, his voice still had some warmth.
"The fish is selling so cleanly today."
Liu Ningqing looked at the fish in the fish tank, and there was only one left.
Liu Jun has been buying fish very quickly, basically leaving two or three every day, taking one home to eat himself, and giving the rest to the people in the stall next to him.
They will also give Liu Jun a return gift, and this kind of courtesy is still in a good atmosphere.
"Well, someone just bought the last fish."
"Oh... Saw the back. ”
Liu Ningqing nodded.
Xu Zhimu looked at the direction in which the figure left just now, and smashed his mouth slightly.
Why does it always feel familiar?
At dinner time, Ye Luojia came.
During this time, Ye Luojia came to see the second elder more often than Xu Zhimu, and he was already very cordial when he met.
Sit down and eat together.
The grandparents are very good-looking, and the grandpa still walks a little sloping now, but he can still walk on his own.
Xiao Wu is going to school in the city these days, he is originally a handsome guy, wearing neat clothes, a little face is white and tender, and he will definitely be a little male god in the future.
The grandparents couldn't help laughing, saying that when they went to school in the past two days, there were always little girls waiting for him to go to school with him, and when school was over, little girls always circled around him.
Xiao Wu doesn't have much awareness of love now, but he is still a little embarrassed to be said, and he blushes and bows his head to eat.
"Look, this kid is embarrassed."
The grandparents smiled very happily, after all, the grandson has a woman at home, so he will not worry about finding a daughter-in-law in the future.
"Xiao Wuxing, it's much stronger than when I was a child, keep up the good work!"
Xu Zhimu laughed and gave him a thumbs up.
Liu Ningqing and Ye Luojia raised their heads and glared at him slightly.
In terms of scumbags, who is as good as you?
"By the way, speaking of objects everywhere, Jiajia, do you have a favorite person now?"
Grandma suddenly asked the question.
This made the atmosphere at the table suddenly chuckle.
Ye Luojia's face was even more red, and her gaze slightly met Liu Ningqing's.
Now I don't dare to let the old man know about these things.
She was a little afraid to speak for a while.
"Count, count......"
Ye Luojia blushed and stammered.
"What kind of relationship is good, Jiajia, you are such an excellent girl, who can get into your eyes, that must be a very good young man, while you are young, you should be in contact, it is not easy to meet someone now, don't miss it......"
Grandma smiled, the old man likes to talk about these things when he is old.
But this sentence comes down.
The atmosphere on the table was a little strange again.
Xu Zhimu was eating, but his eyes didn't dare to move.
Because this will be Liu Ningqing's little hand pinched around his waist.
And his feet were also lightly stepped on by a high heel.
Alas, this is the price of fraternity.
"Mom, don't ask about these children, people are embarrassed."
At this time, it was Liu Jun who spoke first to break the atmosphere.
The grandparents also suddenly sighed: "Yes, yes, seeing that I am old, I always think about these things, come and eat more." ”
The room was slowly filled with a pleasant atmosphere.
……
At the same time, Kyoto, the Ye family manor.
Behind the palatial manor, the backyard is also lit up with warm lights at the moment.
"I heard from the housekeeper that you actually went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables today, and I thought you would never go to that kind of place."
Aunt Song smiled and walked over with a plate.
At this moment, Ye Qinghai changed into his home clothes, and in the face of Aunt Song's voice, he shook his head and smiled.
Aunt Song put down the plate, and what was in it was a steamed sea bass that was not too big.
"Why did you suddenly remember to go grocery shopping today?" Aunt Song sandwiched a piece of tender meat from a fish's cheek for him and asked.
"I went to see someone."
"In the vegetable market, are there any people you meet?"
Aunt Song was surprised for a moment, but the next moment she suddenly remembered something: "Could it be...... That girl named Qingqing? ”
Ye Qinghai nodded: "It's her father." ”
Aunt Song's eyes moved, looking at Ye Qinghai: "Looking at your expression when you came back, this meeting is quite pleasant, right?" ”
Thinking of today's few conversations, Ye Qinghai smiled: "He is a very interesting and principled person. ”
Obviously just an ordinary fish seller, but his professional ethics are unusually high.
The fish left for the family, in fact, it makes no difference whether it is eaten at home for good or bad.
But he ignored his offer.
In this world, there are really people who can do nothing for their families.
This reminds Ye Qinghai of his former self.
In the past, for the sake of money and status, he gave up everything that he could never recover.
In this regard, maybe he is really not as good as him as a fish seller.
"There aren't many people who can get your evaluation."
Aunt Song also smiled and picked up a piece of fish: "By the way, Jiajia's birthday is also coming soon, let them talk about the details of the wedding preparations." ”
"Hmm." Ye Qinghai snorted.
"Look at you, usually with a straight face, this daughter is really going to get married, but she is reluctant."
Aunt Song squinted and smiled very happily, after so many years, it is rare to see him like this.
Ye Qinghai touched his face: "How can you say so ......?"
Before he finished speaking, he also sandwiched a piece of fish meat for her.
"But ah, this is much better than your father and daughter's previous state, they are both good people, Jiajia will not be angry."
Aunt Song picked up the fish and put it in her mouth and chewed it, and her eyes lit up: "This fish is really good, it's a pity, it's good for Jiajia to eat it today." ”
Ye Qinghai came back to his senses, he looked at the fish in the bowl, and smiled: "She, she eats better than us." ”
is coming, and these two days are going to pave the way for Jiajia's wedding.
Please look forward to it. I hope you enjoy this little routine
