“…… During China's XX Antarctic scientific expedition, researchers from the Blue Star Observatory in Bac Ninh overcame difficulties and carried out a series of experiments using self-developed terahertz detection equipment, and achieved major breakthroughs...... At present, researchers from the Blue Star Observatory have returned to China. ”

The voice of the announcer on the mobile phone stopped abruptly, Ji Youlan withdrew from the video, and the news in the group rushed to her eyes:

[The eldest lady didn't say hello when she came back, and the little ones didn't have time to pick up. 】

[Just in time for your birthday, I did it to celebrate your birthday. 】

[I don't agree with this, no matter what, I have to do a hundred and eighty games for him to relieve my lovesickness. 】

began to talk about the game, and I couldn't wait to get together in the next second.

Ji Youlan: [Rest, I will go home first and ask for sin. 】

The mobile phone was turned off, Ji Youlan threw herself on the bed, and the complaining "ahhh

After the scientific expedition was over, she quietly returned to Beining for several days, and no one informed her.

Now as soon as the news comes out, her ostrich metamorphosis can't be played at all.

In the group, these young masters and young ladies who don't hear anything outside the window and only have the smell of copper can see it, not to mention her grandfather who cares about family affairs, national affairs, and world affairs.

On a May evening, outside the floor-to-ceiling windows on the top floor of Cardamom Bay on the outskirts of the city, the skyline of Bac Ninh is covered with sunset.

The Ji family had dinner at half past six, and when she went back now, she could still be considered to have surrendered.

Ji Youlan turned over in resignation.

In the cloakroom, she changed into a plain long dress, her long hair was curled at the back of her head, her complexion was transformed into a weak appearance that she hadn't eaten for three years with her second-rate technology, and two strands of hair were smoothed down her forehead, which could weaken the domineering power of the upturned eyes.

Pursed her lips to make sure that she looked dignified and obedient, like a weak little white flower, she could forgive any mistakes she made.

Went out and took a taxi, to the city center, the evening rush hour jammed.

When he stepped into the high threshold of the Ji family's old mansion, the old-fashioned peacock self-chiming bell in the main hall had just struck half a point.

Ji Youlan was frightened by this muffled sound, and she listened more and more like the shocking wood that the county lord was promoted to the court.

The attitude of confession is not good, and he immediately turns into a board on his ass.

The small steps of the bird quietly waded across the long white stone road, and she pushed open the two heavy carved vermilion wooden doors, and without stepping in, she looked in first.

In the restaurant on the left, everyone is seated.

But no one moved the chopsticks, and the eyes of the judge came to catch her.

Ji Youlan reflexively straightened up.

If there are no rules, she is afraid that she will be guilty of one more degree.

The housekeeper aunt was pleasantly surprised to see her, handed over a warm towel, Ji Youlan wiped her hands, and heard her brother Ji Yunye laugh: "Yo, there is a rare guest." ”

Someone immediately reprimanded: "Shut up!" ”

"Dad, look, it's Xiao Jiu who is back." Ji Youlan's aunt Cheng Fengqing got up to greet her, raised her hand and touched her pointed chin, "Why are you so thin?" ”

Ji Youlan whispered: "Auntie, uncle is not here?" ”

"Flew abroad. It doesn't work if he's here, your grandfather is so angry and it's hard to get rid of it. ”

Ji Youlan understood the situation, behaved like a newborn quail, followed Cheng Fengqing to the dining table, raised his eyes to look at the gray-haired old man on the main seat, and said unpleasantly: "Ah, Ah Gong." ”

Ji Yunye on the side watched the play with his arm in his hand.

His sister pretended to be pitiful, and this trick failed, and the old man was always willing to be fooled.

It's hard to say today that it won't work.

After all, the angry words that broke off the relationship between ancestors and grandchildren were released, and Ji Youlan's pity was not all pretended.

The little face has lost weight, the complexion is also dark, the wrist bones are protruding, and the crisp sound can be heard when you knock it on the corner of the table.

The gold ring ring worn on the middle finger of her right hand is one size larger - nine times out of ten it is deliberately sold miserably, when did she lack a piece of jewelry to take advantage of.

I went to Antarctica to endure hardships, and when I came back, it made others feel distressed.

The main Ji Shanquan didn't speak, Cheng Fengqing pulled Ji Youlan to sit down, "Stew mutton soup, I'm ready to wait for you to come back and eat." ”

The Ji family just eats mutton for her, and others can't stand the fishy smell in it, not at all.

"Ah Gong-" With this mutton soup as the base, Ji Youlan was more angry, "I haven't eaten mutton for a long time." ”

"Huh? It's a big joke. Old Man Ji laughed and turned his head to stare at his thin granddaughter, "How many days have you been back?" Go to the restaurant to sign your brother's order, and you should hide it from him for you? He counted you how many bites of your lamb chops were! ”

Ji Youlan glanced at Ji Yunye opposite with disgust, "Brother Rihua, why are you so perverted." ”

Ji Yunye: Achieving inside and outside is not a human achievement.

"Grandpa, don't take me with Xiao Jiu, can I eat?"

Cheng Fengqing slapped off his son's hand holding chopsticks, and none of the people at this table surnamed Ji were worry-free.

"Dad, let's eat first."

She served Ji Youlan a bowl of soup, and carefully put aside all the green onions.

The princess likes to smell the shallots, but refuses to take them.

"Xiao Jiu is so thin now, he has to make up for it."

Ji Shanquan didn't buy it: "Who owes her?" She deserves it! ”

"Grandpa, I was wrong, I really know it's wrong." Ji Youlan walked to her grandfather's side, took out her housekeeping skills to beat the old man's back, and sold pity and coquettishness by the way, "I don't listen to the old man's words and suffer losses, I will never go to Antarctica in the future, Antarctica is so cold, and my feet have frostbite." I was so uncomfortable that I couldn't sleep thinking about my grandfather, but I couldn't make a phone call to my grandfather. ”

Ji Yunye applauded in his heart, this person who doesn't hear is crying?

Unexpectedly, Ji Shanquan was unmoved: "It's not good to go to the South Pole, you go to the North Pole, the world is so big, who can stop you Ji Youlan." ”

"Regardless of the Antarctic and the North Pole, it is not comfortable to stay by my grandfather's side. Ah Gong's knife mouth and tofu heart have always been for my good, how can he be willing to let me suffer again. ”

"Stop, don't put a top hat on me."

"What top hat? I am sincere in every word, Ah Gong is so good, and the number one in the world is good to me. ”

Anyone who listened to Ji Youlan's rhetoric would be so happy that they couldn't find the north, Ji Shanquan hurt her and didn't have any edges, and his attitude was obviously loosened: "Which foot is frostbite?" How did Zhao Jian take care of him? ”

Zhao Jian is the deputy director of the Blue Star Observatory, and led Ji Youlan and another researcher to participate in this scientific expedition. Behind his back, he was ordered by Old Man Ji three times, and Ji Youlan couldn't make a mistake under him.

Ji Youlan didn't know, but it wasn't difficult to guess, "Frostbite has long been cured, Teacher Zhao takes good care of me, don't worry." ”

Cheng Fengqing said: "I'll go find some ointment in a while, Xiao Jiu, you remember to apply it." Bac Ninh is cold in winter, and chilblains are prone to recurrence. ”

Ji Youlan smiled, and went to hug Cheng Fengqing's neck again: "It's still my aunt who is good to me." ”

Ji Yunye was so hungry that he was about to revolt, so he helped: "Grandpa, this sheep soup is even colder, your precious granddaughter should be picky." ”

"Grandpa, have you forgiven me? If you don't forgive me, I won't eat anymore. Ji Youlan finally took Qiao, looking like she couldn't do it.

The temper of the grandfather and grandson is like ten out of ten, "If you don't eat, you will starve to death, and if you starve, I will draw it into that small box for you, and the Antarctic and the North Pole can be saved." ”

"Grandpa, Grandpa, Grandpa, please, I really know it's wrong."

"The bone frame has made you shake apart, you sit down for me, what does it look like."

Ji Youlan smiled flatteringly: "I'm full, and I'm filial to you." ”

She descended the slope, and a table of people finally moved their chopsticks.

During the banquet, a piece of filial piety was temporarily restored, as if Ji Youlan had not been away for more than eight months.

Cheng Fengqing explained some recent etiquette exchanges to the old man as usual, "The golden wedding of the husband and wife of the Lang Jining family on the sixth day of the first month, handed over the post, I will see Yun Ye go to show up; The fifteenth great-grandson of the old man is full moon, you remember to go in person, and the ceremony is ready; In half a month, Xiao Jiu's birthday is also here, twenty-five years old, do you have an idea, do you want to make a big deal? ”

The conversation fell on Ji Youlan, and she expressed her opinion first, "No need, Grandpa, let's make some panaches when I celebrate my thirtieth birthday." ”

Ji Yunye interjected: "Mom, why didn't I make some pretentiousness when I was thirty years old?" ”

Cheng Fengqing glanced at him: "Why didn't you have a partner when you were thirty years old?" ”

"Xiao Jiu, you don't want to?"

Ji Youlan shook her head without adulteration at all, "I'll go and have fun with a few friends, and when the time comes, Brother Rihua will be with us, you don't have to worry." But you have to give me the gifts. ”

"I'm not happy to take my kids there." Ji Yunye and Ji Youlan are six years old and two generations apart, "Ji Xiaojiu, do you still have the face to ask your grandfather for a gift?" ”

Ji Youlan had a blue face and a gift, "If you don't want it, wouldn't it be a disappointment to Ah Gong's love for Xiao Jiu, right, Ah Gong?" ”

"Go, go, go." Ji Shanquan ate this set the most, scolded and smiled in his heart, "Feng Qing, isn't the second boy of the Zong family born with Xiao Jiu for a day, what kind of letter do you have this year?" ”

Cheng Fengqing replied: "I haven't heard that it's going to be a big deal, but their family is giving a small clan a proposal, and twenty-five should also be considered." Speaking of this, he glanced at another twenty-five-year-old man, "Last month, the daughter of my cousin's family, called Xiaoxi, you know, how well-behaved and lovely she is, and it is also a little interesting to Xiaozong." The two families arranged to meet, and who admitted that they wanted to come back as if they were brainwashed, saying what kind of unmarriageism, and they would not marry in the future. It's not like words. ”

"Mom, I told Xiaoxi earlier that Zong Ji is not something she can suppress, she doesn't believe in evil. That kid is a decent person, but he has a bit of a left-handed heart at heart. ”

Ji Yunye added oil and vinegar to carry forward Zong Ji's reputation.

Cheng Fengqing's cousin and nephew are not the first person he brainwashed, and as long as the Zong family continues to arrange, she will definitely not be the last.

Who is still relieved to let their daughter get in touch?

If it's not suitable, it's not suitable, if you don't say some "crooked ways", it's not good to cross one or two more destined people to see through the red dust and become a monk.

is a good son of a famous family, a popular son-in-law candidate of the Bac Ninh family, and Shengsheng made his own style evaluation as "the farther away from this person, the better".

"Huh? Is he really unmarried? Ji Youlan took a sip of soup and said in surprise.

Isn't this person allowed to recruit peach blossoms when he goes to school?

"You fell for him? Nine times out of ten, he has someone in his heart. ”

"That's not just the right time to get married."

"It must be that people don't look down on him, otherwise, even if he is beaten to death at home, he can't agree to that," Ji Yunye picked up his sister very easily, "Like you, I was carried away by love." ”

Ji Youlan was unconvinced but weak: "How can I have?" ”

When the words arrived here, Cheng Fengqing hesitated: "Dad, there is another case, the old man of the Zhou family in the south, I heard that it has been bad recently, do you think?" ”

"What does the surname Zhou have to do with our family?"

The old man finished eating and put down his chopsticks.

Everyone at this table understands that Ji Youlan admitted that the wrong play just now was a small fight, and now the mountain rain is coming.

In October last year, Ji Youlan wanted to die or go to Antarctica, and the fuse was a "supernumerary" of the Zhou family.

The ancestors of the Zhou family practiced medicine for generations, and later relied on medicine to make a family, and the hundred-year-old lintel was also considered noble, but there were absurd things in the previous generation.

The illegitimate son named Fang Jue was one year older than the legitimate child.

When he was seventeen years old, his own mother passed away, and he was brought back to the Zhou family by his father to raise him, enjoying the same educational resources and living standards as the heirs of the Zhou family.

The wife of the Zhou family endured a breath and fought for a reputation of generosity and virtuousness, not caring about these small money, but the Zhou family's industry, Fang Jue did not want to be contaminated in the slightest.

When did Ji Youlan like Shang Jue, the Ji family didn't know; When they found out, according to her own state, she was already deeply in love.

Ji Shanquan doesn't believe it, the little girl knows what love and love are.

So he sent Ji Yunye to discuss the philosophical question of "whether love without material is a plate of loose sand".

That Fang Jue really didn't disappoint, his views won Ji Shanquan's heart, and he said bluntly that he would not have anything to do with Ji Youlan in the future.

is his granddaughter, who has a sentence on the left "I can do it if I have money", and a sentence on the right "I just like him".

The end is that the car was confiscated by the parked card, with a sentence "Your money is surnamed Ji, dare to spend it on other men!" ”

I thought that she would retreat in the face of difficulties, who would have thought that she was so angry that she cried for two days, so she ran directly to Antarctica.

Originally, she went abroad to relax, and Ji Shanquan would not stop her.

It's just that she was born prematurely when she was born, and her health has not been very healthy, and her family has bothered to raise her for many years.

How difficult the conditions are in Antarctica, she has been afraid of cold since she was a child, in case there is a good one, the Ji family whip is beyond her reach.

Going to the scientific expedition sounds fresh and glorious, but in the end, it is a chore, and after walking for more than half a year, everyone with a family and a room is worried.

A new researcher who entered Taiwan took the initiative to ask for help, and everyone persuaded him to say: "It is incumbent on me to dedicate myself to scientific experiments." ”

It's only been more than eight months, and I haven't made a single call home because of the inconvenience of communication.

In the main hall on the right, the rhythm of the chiming bell beats melodiously seven times, and the aftermath is over, and the restaurant is still silent.

It was already dark outside the window, Ji Youlan wiped her mouth with a napkin, and took the initiative to lift her grandfather's scales: "Grandpa, don't you want to have a decades-long friendship with the grandfather of the Zhou family?" If you can't pull your face, I'll help you talk about it, and by the way, I'll talk to Fang Jue about my relationship with him, I'm worried about it. ”

"Little Jiu!" Cheng Fengqing twisted his face to stop Ji Youlan, and the two white jade earrings on his ears threw out a neat arc, "Dad, when Lifeng comes back, let's go to visit the juniors, your blood pressure is still high, and you went to the hospital." ”

Ji Shanquan raised his eyebrows and snorted coldly, "I don't think I'm far from the hospital, so I can't say who will go first between me and that old thing." ”

Ji Youlan's arrogance was extinguished, she couldn't bring her popularity into the hospital, "Grandpa, I'm ......"

Before the words fell, the mobile phone on the desktop rang, and the bright "Fang Jue" on the screen jumped into sight, and she didn't have time to press it.

After her heart was weak, she was in a hurry, she trembled and wanted to turn the phone upside down, but she obediently handed it over in Ji Shanquan's majestic gaze.

"Don't ask for your mobile phone, stay at home for me for a few days, dare to find someone surnamed Yuan and Fang!"

She's used to her!

The more Ji Shanquan thought about it, the more he couldn't control his blood pressure. Before the phone was thrown to the ground, Ji Yunye snatched it from his hand and turned it off directly.

"Grandpa, little nine bastards, don't make yourself angry."

Ji Youlan retorted, "I'm not a bastard", knowing in her heart that there was still a way to survive when the phone fell into her brother's hands.

Ji Shanquan was determined to discipline her harshly at this moment, "Feng Qing, you Zhang Luo, find a few good people to meet her, I don't believe that she has been obsessed with ghosts all her life." ”

Cheng Fengqing swallowed a sentence before, and this is the right time: "Dad, I won't tell you anything, Zong Minghuai and his wife had tea with me before, saying that Xiao Jiu and Xiao Zong are both born in one day, maybe the two of them can get along." That's what their family means. ”

Ji Shanquan immediately made a decision, and his voice was suppressed: "Are you going to see me?" ”

Five words like a cage trapped Ji Youlantuan, and she didn't ask for her opinion at all, how could she dare to say no.

zigzag and struggled: "Isn't this sick and rushing to the doctor, Brother Rihua said that there are people in their hearts." ”

Ji Yunye didn't think about it at all, and said casually: "You two have a symptom, I think it's just right to fight poison with poison." ”

Ji Youlan was shocked by this strange point of view.

Looking left and right, thinking left and right, there is no one standing at this table at her end, she can only know the current affairs: "Go and go." ”

The big deal is also brainwashed.

Zong Ji can change his mind overnight.
