Chapter 204 The Jing family visits
-
the Jing family next door.
"Mom, I just came back and saw that Uncle Huo's house was very lively. Is there any happy event?"
Jing Xiaoran just came back from get off work and asked her parents about the Huo family as soon as she entered the house.
Jing's mother was tired after a long day and had just returned from get off work, so naturally she had no idea what was going on in the Huo family.
"I don't know either. You have to ask your dad."
Jingfu and Huo Yanshan were comrades-in-arms. They had a very good relationship and often made appointments to drink tea and go fishing together. Whenever Huo Yanshan was free, the first person he would visit would definitely be Jingfu.
Jing Xiaoran put down her bag and went to the kitchen to help.
"I see Sister Jinying is back too. I haven't seen her for a long time. After they finish their meal, I'll bring some things and go see her."
Jing Xiaoran grew up with Huo Jingchen and often interacts with Huo Jingting and Huo Jinying.
When they were still girls, she and Huo Jinying had a very good relationship.
After Huo Jinying started a family, their relationship gradually faded.
"Okay, there's some ginseng that someone sent to her last time. You can give it to her. Jinying was injured when she gave birth to her second child. You can give it to her to replenish her body."
Jing's mother paused after she finished speaking, "And you, hurry up on your marriage. Your Aunt Wang introduced you to someone last time, how are you getting along?"
Faced with the urging to get married, Jing Xiaoran curled her lips and wished she could just disappear right now.
"That's it. He's just a piece of wood. What can you expect him to do?"
Jing Xiaoran leaned against the door, speaking in a nonchalant tone.
"What about you? You're not that good. You're an older single woman. If someone wants you, I should be thankful to God. Why are you still being so picky?"
Jing Xiaoran's marriage is the most troublesome thing for Jing's father and mother.
"..." Jing Xiaoran fell silent. She didn't want to face the pressure to get married anymore, so she made an excuse, "I'm going to go upstairs to change clothes and wash my hair. My hair is covered in chalk dust. It's so dirty."
She still had to go to the Huo family later, and she couldn't go there looking dirty.
Jing's mother was helpless and swallowed back what she was about to say.
After dinner, it was already dark. Jing's mother was worried about her daughter walking at night, so she asked her husband to go with her. The two families were already very familiar with each other, so there was no need to disturb them.
The Huo family started dinner late, so when the Jing family arrived, they had only finished half of their meal.
The door was not closed, so the Jing family came in directly.
Jing Xiaoran was not surprised to see a large table of people, but when her eyes fell on Xia Mi and Huo Jingchen, she was obviously stunned and her expression was unnatural.
"Xiao Ran, Lao Jing, come and eat with us. We have just started eating. Bring three sets of bowls and chopsticks."
Father Jing and Mother Jing also noticed Huo Jingchen's existence.
As parents, they knew very well how their daughter felt about Huo Jingchen. After their daughter came back from Zhuifeng Island last time, she was missing for a long time, and they kept all these things in mind.
It’s just that due to the relationship between the two families, it’s not easy to say it out loud.
"Jingchen is back too?" Jing Xianhua asked, "I was wondering why it's so lively today, it turns out you're back."
Huo Jingchen stood up and said, "Uncle Jing, Aunt Wang, long time no see."
The only one missing was Jing Xiaoran, which was too obvious in avoiding suspicion.
Jing Xiaoran dug her nails deep into her palms and bit the soft flesh of her lower lip, feeling embarrassed.
"Sister Jinying, I just saw my brother-in-law's car outside and I knew you were here. This is the supplement my dad asked me to give you. He said it's good for your health."
Jing Xiaoran spoke up and took the initiative to talk to Huo Jinying.
Huo Jinying swallowed the food in her mouth and said, "Okay, then I won't be polite with you. Next time I have new skin care products, I'll have someone send them to you, or we can go shopping some other day so that you can relax a little."
She did not refuse and took the ginseng readily.
Wang Li looked at Xia Mi with a straight gaze and a bad tone.
"Jingchen, why don't you introduce the person next to you to us? She's the wife you married outside, right?"
He said this as if it still existed in his hometown.
"Didn't Xiao Ran introduce herself to you? She used to work with my wife in the same school. I thought she had introduced my wife to you a long time ago."
The other members of the Huo family were surprised and shocked that the two had worked in the same school.
"She didn't say much, just that you found a foreigner to marry on the island."
Wang Li defended her daughter's image, "You also said that your wife is very beautiful. Today, I saw that it is true. No wonder you two got married after knowing each other for less than a week."
The atmosphere at the scene changed and became tense. Even the cousins who were concentrating on eating noticed something was wrong and put down their chopsticks.
"If they are attracted to each other, they can get married in one day. If they are not attracted to each other, they may not feel like getting married even after ten years. Who can predict the relationship? Don't you think so, Aunt Wang?"
Huo Jingchen answered with a light smile, indirectly hinting at something.
Wang Li and Jing Xiaoran's faces suddenly turned ugly.
"Okay, Lao Jing, since you guys aren't coming, just sit on the sofa for a while."
Jing Xianhua was no longer in the mood to chat. "No, there are so many people coming to your house. If we sit down, there will be no room for others. Besides, we are here to deliver something to Jinying. Now that we have delivered everything, we should leave."
After saying this, Jing Xianhua led the mother and daughter away.
After leaving the Huo family's gate, he was so angry that he put his hands behind his back, "Asshole, what kind of bullshit are you talking about? I only have this one daughter, and she's a college student. How is she worse than that foreigner from a technical secondary school?"
In other words, in terms of appearance, my daughter is slightly inferior.
"I didn't expect Huo Jingchen, this brat, to be such a superficial person. What's the point of having good looks? Can it be used to make a living? If I were to say, my daughter looks honest and she looks like a good daughter-in-law who is frugal and manages the household well."
Jing Xiaoran was speechless, not knowing whether this was a compliment to her or something else.
Anyway, I feel very uncomfortable and nauseous.
Xia Mi was sitting next to Aunt Zhao, and Uncle Huo looked very happy as well. He must be very satisfied with Xia Mi, otherwise why would he have called back all the other relatives.
It was obvious that he wanted to introduce Xia Mi to everyone.
And just now, Huo Jingchen defended Xia Mi, which was something she had never had since she was a child.
Jing Xiaoran was so angry, "I want to get married too. I'm going to find Li Qiao tomorrow!"
"Don't say such angry words. Although Li Qiao is an excellent kid, if you don't have any feelings for him, you can't just get married blindly. It will ruin your life."
Wang Li gently urged her daughter to calm down.
Jing Xiaoran naturally knew this, but what she was sure of was that Li Qiao liked her. Since she couldn't marry someone she liked, couldn't she marry someone who liked her?
"Got it. I'll consider it carefully."
After the Jing family left, the atmosphere in the Huo family returned to normal, as if the family had never been there.
"Xiao Mi, get up early tomorrow morning. I'll take you to the morning market. It's very lively." Huo Jinying came over, "I'll stay at home tonight, too."
Xia Mi put down her chopsticks only after she was full.
When she heard that they were going to the morning market, a hint of interest flashed in her eyes, "Okay, is seven o'clock okay?"
