He hadn't eaten dinner, and had been sitting here waiting for him since he came back, and now he was really hungry.

Tang Duyi walked to the door of the kitchen and said with a serious face: "Today, you have a birthday, you want to eat longevity noodles, don't worry, I will definitely let you eat it before twelve o'clock." ”

Looking at her serious appearance, Jing Xiao suddenly felt as if something had been touched in his heart.

Everyone in Haicheng knew that he had a birthday tonight, but he didn't even eat a meal, except for this little thing, and wanted to cook him a bowl of longevity noodles before twelve o'clock.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Tang Duyi didn't pay attention to him anymore, and was busy in the kitchen alone.

Ten minutes later, she walked out with a bowl of noodles.

"Come over and eat, I've got an egg for me." She stood at the table and urged.

Jing Xiao sat still, looking at her, as if he was sitting in some kind of struggle.

"Don't scruple about it, it's okay to eat once in a while." Tang Duyi thought that he was worried that he would grow meat after eating supper, so he persuaded him.

Seeing that he still didn't move, he raised his feet and walked over, directly grabbed his wrist, and pulled him to the table, "You can eat it quickly, if I didn't leave early in the morning and you got up late, I would have cooked this noodles for you in the morning." ”

Hearing this, Jing Xiao's heart was inexplicably sour, could it be that she asked herself when she would come back in the morning, was it just for this?

After sitting down, Tang Duyi handed him the chopsticks, "Eat it while it's hot, happy birthday." ”

Jing Xiao took it, didn't hesitate anymore, tasted it, the taste was average, but it was not difficult to swallow.

"My grandmother said that you must eat longevity noodles on your birthday." Tang Duyi lowered her eyelids, her tone was light, and there was a trace of sadness in it, "It's a pity, I won't be able to eat the longevity noodles that my grandmother cooked for me in the future." ”

Hearing this, the chopsticks in Jing Xiao's hand paused, he had heard his grandmother say before, Tang Duyi grew up with Grandma Tang, their relationship was very good, three months ago, Grandma Tang died, and she organized the funeral alone.

It was really hard for him to imagine how such a petite body could withstand so much sadness and pain.

"I'll do it for you later." He couldn't help but say this.

Tang Duyi was slightly stunned, then raised his head, met his eyes, chuckled, and asked, "Are you only making longevity noodles for me?" Or do you cook every day? ”

"You can have time when you want." He replied lightly.

"Mr. Jing, thank you." After speaking, Tang Duyi turned around and walked to the bedroom, "You eat slowly, I'll go back to the room first." ”

After entering the room, she locked the door, and the image of her grandmother kept coming to her mind, and she felt that her heart was pricked by a needle, and it hurt terribly.

She didn't want to cry, but she couldn't stop crying.

She curled up on the floor along the door, hugging her knees and letting the tears flow.

Outside the house, Jing Xiao stood at the door, listening to the sobbing sound coming from her room, her chest seemed to be stuffed with cotton, sullen, and panicked.

After a long time, he finally held back and took back the hand that was in the air and was about to knock on the door.

Early the next morning.

When Jing Xiao got up, he was wearing a set of lounge clothes, a simple style, but he inadvertently revealed his handsomeness.

Tang Duyi had already gotten up at this time, eating snacks on the sofa, and looking at her appearance, her mood seemed to have recovered a little.

When she saw him, she greeted him with a smile, "Morning, Mr. Jing." ”

Jing Xiao's gaze fell on the potato chips in front of her, and her brows frowned slightly, "You eat this in the morning?" ”

"I don't eat in the morning, I just sit here and get bored, and I always want to eat something in my mouth." She replied with a smile, then put the chips down and pulled out a tissue to intervene.

He was about to say something more, but the phone rang at this moment, and instead of avoiding her, he stood there and answered the call.

Mrs. Jing's voice soon came from the other end of the phone, "Ah Xiao, do you have time tomorrow?" We're okay with the past. ”

"Grandma, what's the matter?"

Hearing this, Tang Duyi, who was sitting on the sofa, suddenly became nervous, and looked at him with a pair of eyes.

"Can't I come to see my granddaughter-in-law?" Mrs. Jing asked unhappily on the phone, and then said, "You should introduce Gardenia to your family." ”

Jing Xiao understood what she meant, this old man was afraid that he would not take Tang Duyi back, so he thought about bringing his family over directly, but it was a little sudden, "Grandma, can't you change the time?" ”

"We can talk about it before, we'll meet after your birthday, your birthday has passed yesterday." Mrs. Jing reminded him in a serious tone, "Okay, you tell Gardenia to ask her mother to call her stepfather tomorrow, and we will all meet." ”

When the words fell, the phone was hung up directly.

Jing Xiao sighed helplessly, put away her mobile phone, looked at Tang Duyi, and saw her curiosity and expectation, so she didn't wait for her to ask, so she said directly, "Grandma said, I want the elders of the two families to meet, let me ask you if the time is convenient over there?" ”

"Huh?" She jerked up from the couch, obviously startled, "This...... I'll have to call and ask. ”

With that, she hurried into the bedroom, not even having time to put on her slippers, and running barefoot faster than a rabbit.

Seeing her like this, Jing Xiao actually felt a little cute, and couldn't help but chuckle.

When Tang Duyi called her mother to tell her about this, she was still a little nervous, but Weng Lu didn't hesitate and immediately agreed, after all, she had long wanted to meet her son-in-law.

The next afternoon.

Originally, they were going to meet at the restaurant, but then they came over temporarily, saying that they wanted to come up to see their little home.

When they went downstairs to pick up people, Mrs. Jing was full of smiles and deep joy in her eyes.

After seeing Tang Duyi, she walked over enthusiastically, holding her hand and asking for warmth, as if she hadn't seen her for a long time.

Jing Xiao stood aside, silently watching this scene, a trace of elusive emotion flashing in his eyes.

Tang Duyi called people one by one under Jing Xiao's introduction, she thought it was her grandparents coming, but she didn't expect that Jing Xiao's aunt Jing Yan also came from the family, and as for his parents, they didn't see it.

She knew that Jing Xiao grew up with her grandparents, so she didn't ask much about his parents, but now it seems that the relationship should be very poor.

Jing Xiao's father, Jing Xunhua, has always disapproved of his mother letting his son marry Tang Duyi, not only because of the age gap between the two, but also because he feels that these two people are not a good match in all aspects.

But the old lady convinced his haughty son that there was nothing he could do to stop him.

Originally, Jing Xunhua didn't come, he planned to let his wife and youngest son come, but he was stopped by the old man, after all, today's scene, if they also came, Jing Xiao would have to quarrel with him.

After a while, they went upstairs.

After sitting down in the living room, Tang went to the kitchen to boil water and make tea for them.

As soon as Zhou Chengxi entered the house, he noticed the pile of snacks on the coffee table, couldn't help laughing, and quipped: "Brother, your snacks look pretty good." ”

After all, he really couldn't imagine how Jing Xiao would tolerate this kind of thing entering his house.

Jing Xiao didn't speak, just glared at him.

Mrs. Jing also noticed the changes in her family and smiled with satisfaction.

She felt that Jing Xiao hid her true identity, and it was not without benefit to want to investigate Tang Duyi, at least let them see the other side of him.

Before the Jing family came, they had already discussed that they would continue to hide their identities and prevent Tang Duyi from discovering them.

Old man Jing sat in the center of the sofa, he was a gentle elder, convinced of his wife's vision.

In fact, he didn't agree with Jing Xiao to hide his identity at first, but now he felt that it was a little interesting, so he tried his best to help his baby grandson continue to pretend to be poor.

Mrs. Jing is not afraid of Jing Xiao's temptation, after all, she knows that Tang Duyi is a good girl, and she believes in the person educated by her good girlfriend.

Jing Xiao took a deep look at her grandmother, and immediately understood what she meant.

All of them agreed, and they wouldn't let Tang Duyi know the truth for the time being, and if they were goofs, the old man would settle accounts with them.

Jing Yanli likes this nephew and daughter-in-law very much, and always has a gentle smile on her face, her husband doesn't talk much, but his face is gentle, and he has no opinion on this matter.

Tang Duyi was not very familiar with the people of the Jing family, this was the first time they had officially met, and she was still a little nervous.

Zhou Chengxi is a lively and cheerful person, and after a while, he chatted with her hotly.

After witnessing the scene where his brother allowed her to bring junk food home, he firmly hugged the little sister-in-law's thigh, and he believed that the sister-in-law would be his backer in the future.

For dinner, they ate at a nearby restaurant, and in order to match Jingxiao, they deliberately chose a medium-sized restaurant instead of a high-end restaurant.

Weng Lu came a little late with her son Lu Hao, she said that her husband couldn't leave some work, and apologized to everyone one by one.

But Tang Duyi knew that the two must have quarreled again, but it didn't matter, anyway, it didn't matter if he came to such a scene or not.

Although Lu Hao is ten years old this year, he can talk to his brother-in-law who is twenty years older than him.

Everyone ate kindly at the meal, and Tang Duyi didn't see anything unusual about the family.

Weng Lu is very satisfied with this son-in-law, although he heard that Jing Xiao is thirty years old before, but when he saw it today, he found that this person was really young, and he was a good match with her daughter, and these elders in his family were also very good, they were all modest and polite, and they should not bully her daughter.

After dinner, they chatted for a while before leaving.

Sending the grandparents to the car and watching the car drive away, the couple returned home.

Along the way, they barely spoke, and the car was surprisingly quiet.

After arriving home and entering the house, Jing Xiao was the first to break the silence, and asked in a low and gentle voice, "Are you tired?" ”

"Hmm." She answered softly, then walked over to the couch and sat down, her eyes closed.

This kind of chaotic scene, she really doesn't want to experience it a second time.
