Chapter 287: Kind Parents
Yan Xin and Xiao Shiyu didn't communicate much when they were studying, that is, when they first started at the same table, they would occasionally say a few words, but they were at different tables in the back, and basically didn't speak.
That is, before the college entrance examination, the class president proposed that the classmates in the same class add a QQ number, and it is easy to contact them in the future, so they add the QQ number.
Three years of classmates, what they talk together is not as much as they talk about on QQ.
Their relationship at school was nothing more than an ordinary classmate relationship, not even a friend.
After leaving the campus, I have a lot of contact on QQ.
Some people are like that, they can't say a lot of things when they meet, but they can say it online.
In their previous lives, Yan Xin and Xiao Shiyu had no connection on QQ, mainly because of their inferiority, and they felt that they were not from the same world as such a girl with a good family background, good academic performance and good looks, and there was nothing to talk about.
More than ten years later, Xiao Shiyu suddenly wanted to meet him, which made him somewhat wondering, not knowing what the reason was.
After being reborn, I didn't have that kind of inferiority complex, but I was able to talk.
What made the relationship between the two go further was to ask Xiao Shiyu to play his girlfriend last year.
After this incident, the two became friends.
In fact, Yan Xin has some regrets about this matter.
The story he heard about Xiao Shiyu marrying a rich old man in his previous life made him think that this was a money worshipper, and he felt that taking 500 yuan to ask the other party to play his girlfriend was a transaction.
As a result, they agreed to him at the time, but later secretly stuffed the money to him.
That's what I owe her.
He dislikes to owe favor debts the most, because it is not easy to repay.
But things are already like this, and there is no way to stuff back the five hundred yuan, and the favor owed can only be owed.
I still have that idea in my heart, if I have the opportunity to repay this favor, I have to repay it in time.
If he didn't owe this favor, he might not have found time to come here to see Xiao Shiyu during the Chinese New Year.
However, after chatting with Xiao Shiyu, the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
Xiao Shiyu has a high emotional intelligence, and is very good at taking care of people's emotions, and will not embarrass people when chatting, and will not appear cold.
It feels quite comfortable.
When she was studying, Xiao Shiyu was a cold image in Yan Xin's mind, and under normal circumstances, Yan Xin didn't dare to talk to this girl, even if they were at the same table for half a year.
Now after contact, I found that it is quite easy to speak.
Xiao Shiyu has more contact with her former classmates, and her popularity is better than Yan Xin.
But it's quite normal, after all, it's a beautiful girl.
And Yan Xin had low self-esteem back then, and there were not many good games in school.
Xiao Shiyu knows the recent situation of many students in the class, which students have been admitted to the junior college, which students have chosen to repeat, and which of them have been admitted to the junior college in this year's college entrance examination, she knows very well.
In a class, she is the only one who has been admitted to the first class.
The highest achievement for the rest is to be admitted to a junior college.
More went out to work.
Some of them are married.
This made Yan Xin very surprised: "Some of our classmates are married?" That's a little too young, right? ”
"And not just that, but a few more." Xiao Shi said, "There are both men and women, but there are more female classmates." ”
She named all the classmates who were married.
There was only one man in it, although he was in the same class as them, but he had been in a grade before, and he was two or three years older than both of them, and now he was of marriageable age, and it was normal for him to get married.
The other few are all female classmates, and women can get married at the age of twenty, and they have also reached this age.
The names were said one by one, and the figures of those classmates also appeared in Yan Xin's mind.
One of the female classmates seemed to be quite interesting to him when he was studying, and she always took the initiative to talk to him, and after graduation, she also sent him a QQ message, saying that she wanted to come to his house to play.
It's just that Yan Xin said that he was already working outside, so that's it.
He didn't have a mobile phone at that time, and he couldn't get on QQ anytime and anywhere, so it was inconvenient to contact, and there was no contact later.
I didn't expect that more than a year later, the other party would get married, which is really embarrassing.
Yan Xin didn't have any feelings for that female classmate, but he felt that time had passed too quickly, and there was a feeling that the mountains and rivers were still the same, and the personnel were all different.
The two of them sat in the living room and chatted, and at ten o'clock, the alarm clock on Xiao Shiyu's mobile phone rang, looked at the time, stood up, and said with a smile:
"It's time, it's time to cook, old classmate, are you going to help me cook together, or are you just watching TV here?"
Of course, Yan Xin couldn't say that he was just sitting here watching TV, so he also stood up and said:
"I can't cook, but I can give you a hand."
"Then let's cook a meal together." Xiao Shiyu said.
The two of them walked to the kitchen, and Yan Xin was a little curious: "When you are not at home, who cooks for your father?" ”
Xiao Shiyu smiled: "And my mother is here, she doesn't have to go to work, but in this store, there are other people in the store, usually at this time, she will go home to cook." Sometimes I can't get too busy, so my dad eats in the cafeteria. ”
"What do your parents do?" Yan Xin asked again.
He heard Xiao Shiyu say that her father was a civil servant and her mother was in business, but he didn't know exactly what she did.
Xiao Shiyu did not hide it from him, and said: "My father is a civil servant, and my mother runs a furniture store. My dad used to work in the town, and the furniture store was also open in our town, but last year my dad had some transfers in his work, and when he came to the county, my mom also came over, and he still did his old job and opened a furniture store. My cousin and sister-in-law helped watch over the store, and she was quite free in her time. ”
Yan Xin asked, "Then will your mother come back for dinner at noon today?" ”
Xiao Shiyu shook her head: "She's not here today, there are relatives in her hometown who are married, and she wants to go there for dinner." ”
He smiled as he spoke: "Originally, they were going to take me to the banquet together, but I don't like those elders asking and asking strange questions like interrogating prisoners, so I told her that I had a classmate come to play today and want to receive my classmates." ”
Yan Xin couldn't help laughing: "So I'm the shield you pushed out?" ”
Xiao Shiyu shook her head with a smile: "That's not, when I told my mother that a classmate came over, I hadn't contacted you yet." But I thought that so many of my classmates had come back for the Chinese New Year, and I could always find someone to help me cope with this errand. ”
Yan Xin nodded: "That's right." ”
Xiao Shiyu is so beautiful, there are still many people who are willing to help her.
Xiao Shiyu added: "The first thing I looked for was you, I didn't have much hope, I thought that you had written so many beautiful songs, and now you should be a busy person, you may not have time to come, I didn't expect you to agree." ”
"The old classmate has a request, and this must be agreed." Yan Xin said seriously.
"Really? I'm so honored. Xiao Shiyu said happily.
He added: "My dad did tell me a few times that he wanted to meet you, a talented young man, he really likes your songs, and there are still a few discs with your songs at home." ”
"I'm honored too." Yan Xin said.
Xiao Shiyu said a little embarrassed: "But it's all pirated copies." ”
Yan Xin shrugged: "I can guess this, because our company's singers have released a total of one record, and if you say you bought a few, it must be pirated." ”
The company didn't make money from records in the first place, but now piracy is rampant, there are a lot of free downloads on the Internet, and it is difficult to make money from record sales itself, so he doesn't care about this.
During the cooking, he still didn't hold back his curiosity and asked Xiao Shiyu what her father's position was as a civil servant.
Asking this is somewhat selfish - know someone who is in charge, make a good relationship, and don't have to worry about being bullied in the local area in the future.
He didn't think about any collusion between officials and businessmen, and his career would not be put here, he just didn't want to be bullied.
Xiao Shiyu didn't hide it from him and said her father's position.
can't be regarded as a big official, just a deputy section level, who used to do it in the town, but was only transferred to the county last year and became the deputy director of the civil affairs department.
Not the leader of a strong department.
Her family's income mainly comes from the furniture store opened by her mother, and her annual income is several times higher than his father's salary.
The houses in the town, as well as the houses bought in this county, are all made from furniture stores.
Xiao Shiyu explained like this, probably to express this meaning to Yan Xin - although my father is a civil servant, he is not corrupt, and my family's current money is earned by my mother's business.
Yan Xin didn't say anything, but he was a little disapproving.
He is not a person who has just stepped out of society, he still has a little understanding of this society, and he feels that if Xiao Shiyu and her father did not have such a position, her mother's furniture store business may not be so profitable.
It's just that this kind of thing can't be said to be corruption.
I can't say how fair and honest it is.
He had heard some similar things.
Xiao Shiyu said these words, but it also explained why the conditions in her family were so good.
Just thinking of her marrying an old man who was dozens of years older than herself in the future, Yan Xin couldn't understand it.
This kind of girl from a wealthy family will not marry someone she doesn't like for money.
Could it be that she has true love for that old man?
There were some doubts in my mind.
But it's not easy to ask Xiao Shiyu about this matter, and even if she asks, she can't ask the answer - because Xiao Shiyu herself doesn't know what will happen to her in a few years.
The two of them are in this kitchen, cooking and chatting at the same time, and they will not feel tired or bored.
Yan Xin can't cook, and the taste he makes can only be said to be better than what his father made, but it's still okay to do it at the moment.
In his previous life, he had a lot of experience in giving Feng Xi a start.
Xiao Shiyu doesn't seem to have learned to cook seriously, she should have learned home-cooked cooking from her mother, and it seems that she is a wild way, not as professional as Alili.
However, the people who make those dishes are quite skilled.
She told Yan Xin that she had already learned to cook when she was in elementary school, and sometimes she could only take care of herself when she was alone at home.
She also likes to cook, and she wants to wait until she graduates from college to enroll in a cooking class to improve her cooking skills.
Yan Xin thought in his heart: "This girl is not bad, whoever wants to marry into the door is also very happy." ”
Just thinking of her future, she married an old man who was dozens of years older than her, and within a few years of marriage, the old man was still dead, and he inherited hundreds of millions of wealth alone.
With that kind of net worth, I won't cook it myself.
It's a bit of a pity.
After he was reborn, he wanted to change his fate, his father's fate, Feng Xi's fate, and later Alili's fate.
But he didn't want to change Xiao Shiyu's fate.
Even now he doesn't have that idea.
It is indeed a pity for a young and beautiful girl to marry an old man who is dozens of years older than herself.
However, it was her own choice.
And she also reaped great benefits from such a choice.
What others think is a pity, in her may be the most worthwhile investment.
So there's no need for him to change that.
forcibly change, thinking that it is to save others from the sea of suffering, maybe it is to push the other party into the sea of fire.
Before he confirmed his relationship with Alili, he still had a little thought about Xiao Shiyu, a beautiful old classmate, and thought about whether to change her fate.
has that kind of thought, mainly because this old classmate is beautiful and has no other emotional factors.
He has not only seen Xiao Shiyu's beauty when she was a girl, but also seen her beauty after she matured, and it is impossible to say that she is completely unmoved.
Men, after all, are visual creatures, and when they see a beautiful girl, they will have some ideas.
However, after establishing a relationship with Arily, I didn't have that kind of mind.
The crime of bigamy is a crime, and if you can't give the other party a result, you shouldn't have a beginning.
This is what he asks of himself.
Without such thoughts, he would naturally not interfere with Xiao Shiyu's choice.
If you like money, you end up with money, and that's not a bad thing.
can only say that if Xiao Shiyu doesn't want to live like that kind of life and needs his help, he will still help if he can.
Just for the love that this girl helped herself last year.
The kitchen is not very busy, and Xiao Shiyu is not ready to cook a lot of dishes, two people can handle it easily.
She told Yan Xin that usually her family meal is four dishes, two meat and one vegetable, and one soup.
Sometimes there is an extra dish of kimchi to start with.
This time, Yan Xin came over, and he was also a guest, so he would cook a few more dishes.
The soup is seaweed egg drop soup, and it is very simple to make.
The dishes include a dish of braised pork ribs, a dish of steamed crucian carp, a dish of scrambled eggs with leeks, and a dish of stir-fried meat with winter bamboo shoots.
In addition, a plate of braised pork belly was also heated, plus a cold vegetable and dried radish, and a plate of pine preserved eggs.
You can make up a total of eight dishes.
Xiao Shiyu made these dishes, and calculated the time, so that the food would not be cooked too early and the meal would cool down, and the meal would not be ready until his father came back.
At twelve o'clock, the food was poorly cooked.
Several plates of dishes were placed on the table, and two dishes were still clasped in bowls so as not to get cold.
A few minutes later, the doorbell was heard.
Xiao Shiyu said to Yan Xin: "It should be my dad who is here." ”
As he spoke, he went over and opened the door.
Yan Xin was originally sitting, but he also stood up at this time.
Xiao Shiyu is his classmate and friend, Xiao Shiyu's father is an elder to him, and when the elder comes, of course he can't sit there and not move.
Xiao Shiyu opened the door, and a middle-aged man in a black tweed coat appeared at the door.
"Dad, you're back!"
Xiao Shiyu first greeted enthusiastically, and then led his hand to Yan Xin:
"This is the musical genius I told you, my classmate Yan Xinyan."
He introduced to Yan Xin again: "Yan Xin, this is my father." ”
Dad Xiao's eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on his face: "You are the author who wrote the song "Immortal"?" I love the songs you wrote, every single one of them. Excellent! I really didn't expect Shishi to have such a powerful classmate as you! ”
Yan Xin said embarrassedly: "When I was studying, I didn't read well, so I liked those messy things, which made Uncle Xiao laugh." ”
"That's not a mess," Xiao's father said seriously, "That's a literary and artistic work, and it's the spiritual food of the people!" ”
That's a bit of a lift.
Yan Xin had no choice but to be humble for those real songwriters again.
I haven't seen Xiao Shiyu and her father in my previous life, and this is the first time we have met.
can only say that it looks like an official.
Especially that big belly, in this era, in this small county, it is basically a symbol of being an official.
Ordinary people want to raise such a big belly, but they really can't raise it.
Of course, in a few years, that kind of middle-aged man with a big belly will be everywhere in small counties.
Big belly is no longer a symbol of high quality of life, but has become a worry for most middle-aged people.
Although he is smiling on his face, when he is not smiling, there is a majesty between his eyebrows.
- There is nothing strange about this, it's not that any person is born with the so-called official spirit, but after staying in a position of power for a long time, he naturally has that kind of momentum.
Not to mention a civil servant at the deputy section level in a small county town, even if it is the security squad leader of a property company, after a long time, there will be a sense of majesty in front of the employees below him.
The greater the power in your hands, the stronger your aura will be.
The attitude towards Yan Xin is still quite enthusiastic, maybe because he really likes Yan Xin's songs, maybe it's his own temper.
Yan Xin was still a little apprehensive at first, feeling that an elder who was a civil servant might not be so easy to deal with.
But after a few words, I found that the other party had a very kind attitude and had no frame at all, so I put my mind at ease.
Is a nice person to get along with.
After Dad Xiao came back, he washed his hands and went to the dining table, ready to eat.
Xiao Shiyu also brought a bottle of wine sent by Yan Xin, and said with a smile: "Dad, this is the wine sent by Yan Xin, I'll pour it for you, you see how it tastes." ”
Dad Xiao glanced at it and said, "I've drunk this wine, it's pretty good." ”
blamed Yan Xin again: "You said that you kid, you can come here, why do you give such a heavy gift?" This wine costs a few hundred dollars a bottle, right? ”
He has drunk a lot of wine, but he rarely buys it himself, and it is normal not to know the specific price.
Yan Xin could only smile and say, "This is not expensive." ”
Xiao Shiyu poured wine for her father and said, "Dad, don't you know, Yan Xin not only knows how to write songs, he is also very good at making money." I opened a company with the money I earned from writing songs, and I was my own boss, and now I have built a house at home, and I also bought a house in Yangcheng. ”
Dad Xiao listened, and looked at Yan Xin's eyes lit up: "Xiao Yan, I didn't expect you to have such a skill!" ”
Yan Xin said modestly: "It's just luck, and then I got the help of some friends, and I can't do anything by myself." ”
That's true.
Without the help of others, relying on himself alone, he should still be a small security guard now, at most, he has saved some money to buy some stocks, and he will have the opportunity to build a brick house next year.
If you want to own the assets you have now, it is absolutely impossible.
Xiao's father only thought that he was modest, and he had a better impression of him, and asked him very enthusiastically if he wanted to have a drink together.
Before Yan Xin could refuse, Xiao Shiyu helped him refuse: "Dad, Yan Xin has to drive back today, but he can't drink, not even a small sip." If you're bored drinking alone, I'll have a drink with you. ”
This also made Yan Xin breathe a sigh of relief.
I don't know if it's because of liver function problems, his alcohol consumption is really not good, drink a little wine and go up, at most he can drink some beer, and he can't drink too much.
A small glass of liquor like this is enough to choke.
And he especially doesn't like the taste of baijiu, thinking it's too spicy.
Dad Xiao heard that he was going to drive back, so it was not good to persuade him to drink anymore.
But Xiao Shiyu really poured herself a glass of wine and drank it with her father.
As for Yan Xin, he could only use orange juice instead, and frequently toasted with the father and daughter.
Because of drinking, I ate a meal for more than half an hour.
Yan Xin noticed that Xiao Shiyu accompanied her father to drink two glasses of wine.
The glass was a very small cup, and if a glass of wine was full, it would look like one or two.
Drink two glasses, no more than two taels, but not a lot of wine.
But for Yan Xin, it was already a proper mass.
Two taels of liquor were enough to get him drunk.
But Xiao Shiyu had two glasses of white wine, her face was not red, and her speech was normal.
He had to sigh that this old classmate was so good at drinking.
Of course, the truth may simply be that he drinks too poorly.
Dad Xiao was not drunk, and his expression was normal.
After eating, he asked Xiao Shiyu to clean up the dishes and chopsticks, and he pulled Yan Xin to the living room to sit, Xiao Shiyu made a cup of tea for the two of them, and they chatted while drinking tea.
Not long after, Xiao Shiyu came out after washing the dishes, and also sat on the side, chatting with them.
In this process, Yan Xin found that the relationship between their father and daughter was very good, and it can be seen from their relationship that this is a very happy family.
Xiao's father is a civil servant, and he must support national policies, so there is only Xiao Shiyu, an only daughter, just this child, there is no patriarchal thinking, and he still loves this daughter very much.
also showed a considerable degree of respect for Yan Xin, the friend brought by his daughter, and was very enthusiastic, but not so enthusiastic that it made people uncomfortable.
Yan Xin thought of something inexplicably: "If Feng Xi's parents were so reasonable, in the last life, we wouldn't have had such a hard time." ”
Then he thought: "If I married Xiao Shiyu in my last life, I would be very happy, right?" ”
But this idea was born and was denied by himself:
"Not necessarily. With the conditions in my previous life, how could Xiao Shiyu marry me? Her dad might not have been as polite to me as he is now. ”
Another question came to mind: "If I were just a little security guard in my life, Lily, would she like me, would she choose to fall out with her mother and live with me for the rest of her life?" ”
Suddenly, I felt that this question was a bit cruel.
Perhaps, he can't make himself better, he is willing to marry him in this life, and Feng Xi is the only one who faces the hardships of life with him.
Coming to such a conclusion made him a little stunned, and he felt a little absent-minded when chatting.
Dad Xiao has to go to work in the afternoon, and when it comes to 1:40, he will leave.
Yan Xin also got up to say goodbye, and he said that he would buy some New Year's goods to take home.
Xiao's father kept two sentences, didn't continue, and said to Xiao Shiyu: "There is still two-legged sika deer meat hanging on the balcony, you take one leg to Xiao Yan." ”
Xiao Shiyu answered, ran to the balcony, and quickly took a leg of venison, put it in a plastic bag and handed it to Yan Xin.
Yan Xin was not hypocritical, thanked him, and accepted it, just in time to taste it, and there was another dish during the New Year.
followed Xiao's father downstairs, and Xiao Shiyu also sent it down.
After going downstairs, Yan Xin also drove Xiao's father to his place of work, and then went to buy some fireworks, salutes, Spring Festival couplets and lanterns, and then drove home.
When he was about to go back, he thought about whether to go to the Golden Dawn store to have a look, hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up the idea and drove home.
The day before yesterday, I split firewood all afternoon, a little too hard, and my arms and waist hurt in the past two days, which affected the state of the code word. Hopefully, in the next few days, the update will be brought up.
