Just then, Tang Xiling brought the dishes into the house …
She was overjoyed to see her daughter leaning against her husband. She stood there and stared blankly at the scene. Her eyes were a little moist.
Xu Jingya came in with a plate of pickled cabbage and blood sausage. When she saw Tang Xiling, she nudged her gently with her shoulder. "Sister Tang, what are you doing? Are you out of your mind? "
Only then did Tang Xiling come back to her senses.
She immediately wiped the corners of her eyes with her hand and sniffed. "It's nothing! I just suddenly remembered something and was in a daze for a moment! "
She took a few quick steps forward and put the steamed pig intestines and mutton with scallions on the table. She raised her head and smiled at Chen Yaozhong without saying anything. The couple looked at each other, and the thousands of words that they wanted to say to each other were unspoken.
When Tang Xiling went out again, Xu Jingya followed behind her. "Sister Tang, can I have a word with you?"
"Hmm?" Tang Xiling stopped in her tracks and turned to look at her. "What's the matter? Why do you sound so formal? "
Xu Jingya wiped her hands on her apron and didn't look at her. Her gaze landed lightly on the window lattice … The light from the window shone on her face, making her look exceptionally gentle. "Sister Tang, don't misunderstand Mi Xaing 'er! She's a little arrogant! Look, Military Commander Chen is here, and he brought so many assets. If Mi Xaing 'er was fawning over him, she wouldn't be her! "
"…"
"To be honest, if Military Commander Chen was penniless, Mi Xaing 'er would be more likely to get close to him! She's that kind of person. She doesn't curry favor with the rich or the poor. What I mean is, don't be anxious. Take it slow. Xiang 'er is a sensible child. She knows what to do! "
This mother-in-law was really benevolent. She even tried to counsel her mother.
Tang Xiling felt very gratified. "Sister Xu, you're so good to Xiang 'er! He also knew her best! My Xiang 'er is married to a tiger. Not only is her husband heartless, but her in-laws are also very good to her! I'm content, thank you! "
He sighed softly, "Sigh! If there's still time, of course I hope … "
She stopped talking and forced a smile. "I still have to thank Magic Doctor Xiao and you for your great help and meticulous care. I really don't know how to …"
Xu Jingya waved his hand. "We're family. Don't stand on ceremony. Hurry up and serve the dishes!"
The two women chatted intimately as they got busy with their work.
The atmosphere of the meal was relaxed.
Chen Yaozhong took the opportunity to announce the good news on the table … In his heart, he couldn't wait to announce the good news to the whole world. "Jiaxuan has already arrived in the village and is arranging everything. Xiling and I will hold a wedding banquet on April 16th. Today is a formal invitation to all of you! I hope that everyone can come and join in the fun! "
Tang Xiling didn't say anything. She lowered her head silently with a shy expression on her face … She was already in her 40s. It was her first time wearing a wedding dress, and she was marrying the man of her dreams for many years. This was also considered a kind of completion, right?
Xiao Qingshan didn't forget to remind her, "This is a good thing. Of course, we have to congratulate you first! But Brother Chen, don't forget to take your medicine. You can't worry, you have to recuperate! "
Chen Yaozhong raised his eyebrows at his daughter. What he meant was … See! She was right, right? She mentioned "recuperating" again!
The father and daughter looked at each other mischievously and smiled. Both of them had the same expression on their faces.
Xiao Qingshan glared at them. "What? Do you still want to get treated? "
Mi Xaing 'er deliberately patted her small chest. "Oh my, that's amazing!"
She turned to Xu Jingya. "Mom, look at my master! She probably didn't eat enough for dinner. She's going to eat someone! "
Xu Jingya deliberately put her hands on her hips at Xiao Qingshan. "You can't do that!"
Xiao Qingshan immediately became listless. She couldn't straighten her back and spoke with no confidence. She muttered softly, "What did I do again?"
Everyone in the room laughed.
Under the dim yellow light, everyone sat around the dining table, eating and chatting, laughing and talking … The atmosphere was harmonious.
Mi Xaing 'er looked at everything in front of her and couldn't help but sigh inwardly. "If only Yun Jingting was here!"
Feng Xiuzhu drank half a glass of beer and her face was flushed. She stole a glance at Mo Dongyang's hearty smile … This was probably the first time the two of them ate at the same table. They were so close that it was as if they could touch each other. She felt exceptionally happy.
Happy times flew by.
After dinner …
After clearing the table and washing the dishes, Mi Xaing 'er wiped her hands on her apron and said to Xu Jingya, "Mom, I have to go out to do something!"
"Huh? It's almost nine o 'clock. You're still going out? "
"Yes! The timing is just right! I want to talk business with Brother Tong. Anyway, it's early … He won't be home! "
Xu Jingya knew her temper … Once she made up her mind, she wouldn't change it no matter what. "Okay then. Do you need Dongyang to send you?"
"No! I'll go by myself! "
"No!" Xu Jingya was still worried. "Let Lao Xiao send you."
Mi Xaing 'er didn't wait for her to finish speaking and quickly ran out of the courtyard … Did she need someone to send her out? Could she still do something serious?
From afar, she heard Xu Jingya shouting behind her, "Get a flashlight!"
Mi Xaing 'er turned her head, raised her arm high, and waved it vigorously in the air … Then she ran away as fast as she could.
To be honest, the people of that era were quite simple and the public security was good. There weren't many "unstable" factors.
Not long after …
Mi Xaing 'er arrived at Tong Che's house. She knocked on the door and immediately heard the little Tian Xiner's crisp voice. "Brother, you're back!"
She knocked on the door.
Tian Xiner's bright smile immediately appeared at the entrance.
When she saw Mi Xaing 'er, she raised her eyebrows and said, "Why are you here? I thought it was my brother. Come in!"
"Brother Tong isn't back yet?"
"No! But his secretary called and said he'll be home soon! " Tian Xiner stretched out her arm and pulled Mi Xaing 'er into the house. She chattered enthusiastically, "Don't talk at the door. Why? Are you looking for my brother? Then come in and wait for a while! Have you had dinner? I made some red braised pork for him. Why don't you eat it here? "
Mi Xaing 'er hurriedly waved her hand and said, "What time is it now? I've already eaten at home! "
She changed her shoes.
Then she went into the living room.
The two of them sat on the sofa together.
Mi Xaing 'er glanced at the review materials on the coffee table. There were various rolls of paper on which the key points were circled and dotted. "Wow, not bad. You're quite serious about your studies. How are you? Are you confident about getting into university? "
Tian Xiner sighed. "I kind of miss Brother Da Ni! He's not here, so there's no one to tutor me. My brother came back too late and didn't have time to take care of me! "
"Then why didn't you look for me?"
"You're so busy with your family, your school, and your career … How could I disturb you?"
Tian Xiner drew circles on her thigh with her finger and pouted her pink lips. "Brother Da Ni used to come every day, but I didn't feel anything special. Now that he's gone on a business trip, I suddenly feel like I'm missing a big part of my life! There's no one to deliver food to me, and no one to help me grade my papers. Anyway, I just feel uneasy! "
Mi Xiang 'er patted him on the shoulder. Just as she was about to open her mouth to comfort him, there was a knock on the door. Tong Che had returned. He raised his head to look at the living room and frowned in puzzlement. "Oh, Mi Xiang' er is here. You still have time to visit?"
She immediately understood. "You're here to talk business with me, right? You want to strike while the iron is hot and take over the construction team and the junkyard in one fell swoop? "
Tian Xiner was puzzled. "What are you guys talking about?"
She stood up and walked briskly to the entrance. She took Tong Che's briefcase … and asked considerately in a soft voice, "Brother, let's eat first. Do you have work to do? We'll talk later! "
Tong Che couldn't bear to reject her good intentions, so he nodded gently. "Okay then!"
Tian Xiner happily walked into the kitchen. Not long after, she came back with piping hot rice, braised pork, and two small side dishes. She lifted her chin at Mi Xaing 'er and said, "We're not strangers. Come, let's sit at the table and talk!"
She was great!
She didn't delay either of them!
Mi Xaing 'er didn't stand on ceremony. She got up and walked to the table. Half-jokingly and half-seriously, she said, "Brother Tong, I'm sorry! You can talk while you eat! I'll leave after I'm done talking so that I won't disturb your rest. Also, if I go back late, my mother-in-law will be worried! "
Tong Che pursed his lips. "You're quite efficient! Visiting in the middle of the night doesn't even delay a minute! "
He sat on the chair and slowly rolled up his sleeves. He didn't touch his chopsticks. Instead, he stared at Mi Xaing 'er with interest. "What new conditions do you have?"
"No!" Mi Xaing 'er knew not to push her luck. Right now, she needed to protect her "territory" and leave the rest for later. "I just want to ask if you have any new conditions? What did you guys discuss in the meeting after I left today? "
She stuck out her tongue mischievously. "Brother Tong, give me a hint first so that I can mentally prepare myself!"
