Chapter VII: Notification
The Xu family and Zhou Yi decided to tell the eldest son and eldest daughter in the family, as for the two younger ones, forget it, so as not to have branches.
Xu Pucun and Xu Hanyue were both stunned for a moment when they heard the news, if it weren't for the fact that their parents had never been witty, they would have thought that their parents were joking with themselves.
Xu Hanyue didn't think too much, she seemed to have been outside the Xu family, and immediately after coming back to her senses, she said that she was very welcome to the return of this younger sister.
She is still in Africa and can't come back, but she has already told her family that she will take the time to come back to see this new sister after this busy time, and asked her parents for her sister's WeChat, and wants to practice her relationship with her sister in advance.
It's a pity that neither the Xu family nor Zhou Yi have it.
As for Xu Pucun, he thought more.
There are three younger siblings in the family, and he only has a good relationship with his eldest sister Xu Hanyue.
Not only because this sister is normal, but also because she does not pose any threat to his inheritance.
Although this era emphasizes equality between men and women, the rights and interests of men and women are also protected by law, and many companies also have female successors.
But more often than not, if there is a male in the family, and he is not so intolerably wasteful, the inheritance still undoubtedly falls on the male heir.
Besides, Xu Pucun is the eldest grandson.
Xu Hanyue is a person with no utilitarian heart, who has always longed for a free life, and does not have any desire to mess with the family business.
And the younger brother Xu Yingzhe is arrogant and arrogant, and Xu Pucun, who grew up with elite education, is impatient and disgusted with him.
When he was a child, he also tried to do his duty as an elder brother, trying to educate his younger brother, whose brain seemed to be blocked by some kind of excrement, to get him back on the right track.
It's a pity that Xu Yingzhe didn't even listen to his parents' words, let alone the words of this brother who was compared to his parents since he was a child.
Especially after Xu Yingzhe grew up a little, he didn't know who he muttered, and he felt that he was so favored by his parents that he should be the heir of the Xu family, so he hated his eldest brother.
not only made enemies with himself, but also used some small means to smear himself in front of his parents in private.
In that case, forget it.
As for the little sister Xu Xiwei, she is a typical daughter of a wealthy family.
Delicate, innocent, and has always been very good at coquettishly pleasing people, who can refuse a good-looking girl who can be spoiled, especially if this person is still his own sister.
At first, I really loved it, but when I grew up, I slowly found out that my sister was behind people, and I have to say that I was still a little disappointed.
It's not that I'm disappointed that my sister isn't really innocent and kind, but I'm disappointed that she is still pretending to be in front of her relatives.
To be honest, who in a big family would really raise their own children and don't understand the facts, especially girls, which are easy to be targeted by some men with ulterior motives.
Just like the Xia family that has disappeared now, a good emerging family was almost wiped out by his son-in-law.
The youngest daughter of the Xia family was raised innocently and found a man, but her parents were killed by the man's whole family, and her brother was hit into a vegetative state by the man's brother, and she was driven crazy, and the man still held their child in his hand and forced the daughter of the Xia family to write a letter of understanding.
If it weren't for the fact that there was an illegitimate daughter in their family who stood up to take the matter, let alone whether they could get the family business back, even the revenge of killing their father and mother might not be avenged.
Since then, these families have become more selective.
After all, everyone is in this circle and everything is decent.
Since they have decided to get married, they must have a win-win mentality, and no one will deliberately marry someone else in order to annex someone else's family business, it is too unseemly to do so, and it is not the way for people like them to play.
Thinking of this new sister this time, Xu Pucun and Xu Hanyue inevitably looked forward to it.
***
And Li Nianmian, who still doesn't know anything over there, has already completed the last exam of this semester.
She had already made an appointment with her roommate to play in Shenzhen for a week after the exam and then go back.
But her parents' abnormal behavior before, plus she received a call from her parents just after the exam.
On the phone, her parents told her to hurry back, saying that they had bought her the plane tickets.
Li Nianmian could only let her roommate go, and promised to ask for a week of milk tea after returning to school after school started, and her roommate reluctantly let her go back.
After Li Nianmian cleaned up the dormitory, he received a call from his mother asking her to go back to the house.
According to the instructions of the mother, he checked the doors and windows of each room one by one, checked the water, electricity and refrigerator, and repeatedly confirmed with the mother on the other end of the phone that there was no problem, Li Nianmian took the backpack and set foot on the way to the airport.
She wanted to drive back the car they drove last time, but she was scolded as soon as she mentioned it to them.
Mom and Dad resolutely didn't let her do such a dangerous thing, after all, a girl driving for seven or eight hours is too worrying, in case there is an accident along the way...
On the phone, Li Qin and Zhou Menglan talked about it, saying that they would drive back next time they came, and there was no shortage of this car at home.
This made Li Nianmian give up the idea of driving back, and honestly buy a ticket back.
If you take a plane from X city to Shenzhen City, the distance is not far, and it is less than two hours of travel.
Li Nianmian got off the plane, took his luggage, and went out with the flow of people, Li Qin was wearing a casual suit bought by his baby daughter, standing in the waiting crowd, very conspicuous.
"Nian Nian!" Li Qin waved his hand!
With a handsome father, Li Nianmian threw away the suitcase in his hand and rushed over, his smiling eyes were almost gone: "Dad!" ”
Li Qin hugged his baby daughter, who he hadn't seen for two weeks, and felt a little thinner.
He took his daughter's backpack from his back like he did when he was a child, and walked over to lift the suitcase: "Go, go home!" ”
Li Nianmian held his arm, walking without looking at the road, while swaying coquettishly: "Where's my mother?" ”
"Hmph, when we meet, I'll ask your mother, what about your mother, is it not enough to have a father to pick it up?"
Li Qin pretended to be jealous, swept two handfuls of his daughter's hair, and replied, "Your mother is cooking for you at home, just waiting for us to go back." ”
"Yikes! Father! The static electricity made Li Nianmian's hair explode, she glanced at her father sadly, reached out and pulled her hair, and gave up when she found that Shun Mao failed.
"I miss my mother~"
"What, you don't want Dad?"
What's going on with Mom and Dad lately, it's like competing for favor, it's really wrong, it's usually the two of them who dislike her light bulb.
Li Nianmian skillfully used the coquettish Dafa: "Think about it, think about it, I've lost weight in the past few days." ”
She subconsciously touched her belly, saying that she was really hungry. Actually, there are in-flight meals on the plane, but the taste of the in-flight meals on this flight, um...
It's hard to put into words.
Li Nianmian would rather be hungry than force his mouth and grieve his stomach.
The two arrived at the parking lot without a small talk, Li Nianmian saw his car from a distance and rushed over: "Oh oh ~ Duck!" Go home! ”
***
"Mom, I'm back!"
As soon as Li Nianmian opened the door when she got home, she was greeted by the smell of hot food, and she shouted loudly while changing her shoes.
Li Qin looked at the girl who threw herself away, shook her head, and put the schoolbag in her hand on the sofa.
"It's good to be back, and the last dish is almost ready." Zhou Menglan's voice came from the kitchen.
Li Nianmian stepped on his cinnamon dog slippers and rushed to the kitchen, and hugged Zhou Menglan, who was cooking in a floral apron.
She stood on tiptoe and saw from her mother's shoulder that the pot was stewed with her favorite dishes, and said in surprise, "Wow! My favorite beef stew with potatoes! ”
She kissed Zhou Menglan's cheek fiercely, and made a "click" sound: "Thank you, Mom~"
Zhou Menglan was kissed and snorted in disgust: "It's all the smell of oil smoke, and you don't feel like it." ”
"What's the matter, my mother's body is fragrant." Li Nianmian leaned on Zhou Menglan's back with satisfaction.
I really want to go back to when I was a child, become a little one, and always rely on my parents.
"Mom, why don't you go with my dad to pick me up, you don't know how disappointed I am when I see that only my dad is there."
"Who was arguing before getting on the plane that they wanted to eat their mother's cooking, I'll pick you up, and you can conjure up a mother to cook for you?" Zhou Menglan felt that this kid couldn't get used to it, and he would get the most inches.
"Hmph hum~ I don't care about me, I'm always sad, I have to sleep with my mother tonight." Li Nianmian twisted and twisted.
"Go aside, don't get in the way." Zhou Menglan was disgusted, but she was happy that her daughter was close to her. She brought out the dishes and asked the girl to bring them out, "It's time to eat." ”
Li Nianmian held the hot meal, and felt the saliva in his mouth secreting wildly: "Dad, Dad, it's time to eat~"
After eating a satisfying dinner, Li Nianmian wanted to help Li Qin put the dishes and chopsticks in the dishwasher, but was kicked out by Li Qin: "Go and go, it's all oil, don't get your hands dirty, go out and eat fruit." ”
Li Nianmian flattered Li Qin and went out after hammering her shoulder armor twice, she lay down next to Zhou Menglan, her head resting on her mother's thigh, and waiting for her mother's feeding with her mouth wide open, but she didn't want to be slapped by Zhou Menglan.
"Just finished eating, don't lie down, get up."
"Okay, okay!" Li Nianmian sat up and Ge You was paralyzed.
"Actually, Mom and Dad have something to tell you." Li Qin, who had washed his hands, came out and sat on the other side of Li Nianmian, "You are so old, it's time to tell you about things at home." ”
Li Nian was still smiling, but when she saw the serious expressions on her parents' faces, she began to feel that something was wrong.
She straightened up and sat upright: "Mom and Dad, you say." ”
In fact, she really doesn't know much about things at home. Everyone else is a relative of seven aunts and eight aunts, but in her impression, she has never seen any relatives in her family since she was a child, and the closer ones are also a few friends of her parents.
"Do you remember when I told you that there are actually several houses in the family?" Zhou Menglan asked.
Li Nianmian nodded: "Ang, remember." ”
In fact, there are more than two houses in their family, she knows it, and when she was a child, she overheard her parents talk about collecting rent and the like.
But it also seems to be a relatively common occurrence.
