"Xiao Xie, let me show you our Zhi Ning."
Wang Meizhi handed the photo album to Xie Jingsui with a smile, and asked Lu Zhining to move a chair over.
Just as Lu Zhining was about to resist, she received an extremely fierce look from her mother.
She and Xie Jingsui should switch places. Xie Jingsui would be her parents' son, and she would be the eldest daughter in the Xie family.
After getting the photo album as he wished, Xie Jingsui raised his eyebrows proudly at Lu Zhining. Accompanied by Wang Meizhi, he opened the album. The first photo was enough to surprise him.
The photo showed a little girl of no more than three or four years old wearing a dress. Xie Jingsui recognized her as Lu Zhining at a glance.
However, in the photo, Lu Zhining was standing in a muddy vegetable garden, holding a roasted sweet potato that was bigger than her face. She was chewing it happily, and her face and hands were dirty, especially her slightly yellow short hair, which was mixed with a few dead leaves, and the hem of her skirt was covered with a lot of mud.
Xie Jingsui curled his lips: "It's quite dirty, but very cute."
Lu Zhining was unhappy, but Wang Meizhi smiled and explained, "When Zhining's grandparents were still alive, they took her back to the countryside to play. The neighbor next door had a big goose and Zhining loved to chase it. She ended up falling into the garbage dump nearby and started crying and wanted to eat the goose. It was only when her grandma gave her a roasted sweet potato that she calmed down."
Lu Zhining felt extremely ashamed and turned his head away silently.
Xie Jingsui smiled even more and continued reading.
There are many photos of Lu Zhining's childhood. She is very cooperative and will make some simple gestures whenever there is a camera. Starting from Lu Zhining Primary School, Wen Xiaoyi's figure began to appear in many photos.
"Xiaoyi is a pitiful child. Her parents died in a car accident and she only has her grandmother at home. So we often invite them to visit us, and the relationship between the two girls has become increasingly close."
Xie Jingsui nodded, and suddenly thought of something, so he took a photo of Wen Xiaoyi and Lu Zhining participating in the Children's Day performance, and secretly sent it to Zhou Jisen.
Soon, he received a reply from Zhou Jisen, which was just a simple question mark.
Xie Jingsui ignored him and continued to flip through the pages.
As he was flipping through the album, he saw Lu Zhining, who was in college. His hand paused as he looked at one of the photos.
In the photo, Lu Zhining is wearing a pink T-shirt with cartoon patterns and jeans, with two large suitcases beside her.
Wang Meizhi continued to explain, "These were taken by Xiaoyi when Zhining reported to university. We printed out every photo so she can look back at them as a memory when she's older."
Xie Jingsui glanced sideways at Lu Zhining and pointed at the photo. Behind Lu Zhining was a black car parked with the back window half open, allowing the person sitting inside to be vaguely seen.
"What a coincidence! I was already in Zhining's camera so early."
Lu Zhining frowned and stared at the place where Xie Jingsui pointed. No matter how he looked, he couldn't connect the person inside with Xie Jingsui. The main reason was that it was too blurry.
However, it can be seen that this car is a good car.
Wang Meizhi, on the other hand, pursed her lips in delight, "It turns out that Xiao Xie and our Zhi Ning are so destined to be together. You two are destined to be together."
Lu Zhining couldn't help but roll her eyes again, Mom, it's over, it's really over.
Fortunately, there are no photos of her wearing open-crotch pants in the album, otherwise it would be even more embarrassing.
Lu Qinghua ran for several blocks before he found a shop that was still open and specialized in selling braised food. He bought almost every kind of braised food in the shop and also went to the supermarket to spend a huge amount of money to buy a bottle of Moutai.
Although Wang Meizhi is a housewife, she holds the financial power of the family and is given a few hundred yuan in pocket money every month.
He smokes and drinks, but he is not addicted to it. He can smoke a pack of cigarettes for several days. But he can't give up drinking and has a couple of drinks every day.
For this, he was often scolded by Wang Meizhi.
He had long wanted to try Moutai, the aristocratic liquor.
After Lu Zhining made money, he secretly transferred a lot of pocket money to him. He originally planned to save it and buy two bottles of good wine when his daughter got married in the future.
"Girl, does Xiao Xie know how to drink?"
As soon as he entered the door, Lu Qinghua couldn't wait to ask.
Lu Zhining was ordered to clean the guest bedroom, and Wang Meizhi was still cooking in the kitchen. At this moment, only Xie Jingsui was left in the living room.
Hearing this, Xie Jingsui stood up and walked to the entrance to take the food from Lu Qinghua's hand. His tone was still gentle and full of respect: "Drink more."
Lu Qinghua was even happier. Finally, someone at home was drinking with him. "Okay, okay, then I have to have a couple of drinks with my uncle today."
Xie Jingsui nodded, acting incredibly well-behaved in front of Lu Zhining's parents: "Do you need me to buy two more bottles?"
"No, no, uncle has already bought it."
Wang Meizhi suddenly popped her head out and said, "Drink, drink. All you do all day is drink. Our future son-in-law needs to manage such a large company. We can't let him lead us astray."
Xie Jingsui was very pleased with the term "future son-in-law". "No problem. I only have a few days of annual leave. As a junior, I should accompany my uncle and have a good drink."
I don't believe you at all. Xie Jingsui is a very bad man.
Lu Zhining, who was still making the bed, heard the conversation outside the door and snorted coldly.
Fortunately, this room, which was originally used as a study, was vacated. Otherwise, according to her mother's personality, Xie Jingsui would definitely have to share a room with her.
The excuse is: We are not conservative people in this family.
This is an old community, and on New Year's Eve, almost every household has relatives back home, and many families have started setting off firecrackers just at noon.
Xie Jingsui was a little confused: "Can we set off firecrackers at noon?"
Lu Qinghua was showing off his somewhat rusty tea art. He handed a cup of brewed tea to Xie Jingsui and explained with a smile, "It's normal. Now that our motherland is prosperous and everyone's life is better, you can still hear the sound of firecrackers on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year."
Xie Jingsui nodded and took the teacup with both hands.
Wang Meizhi brought out the last dish and said, "Xiao Xie, you can eat now. Please don't be dissatisfied with your aunt's limited cooking skills!"
There were only four of them, but the table was filled with dishes. Two plates were filled with bacon and sausage alone, and there were also braised lion's head, four-happiness meatballs, chopped pepper fish head, etc. The abundance was so great that even Lu Zhining couldn't help but be amazed.
He is worthy of being the God of Wealth in Beijing, the treatment he receives is really different.
In the past, celebrating the New Year at home was never so sumptuous.
"It's delicious, and my aunt's cooking skills are very good."
Xie Jingsui praised.
Wang Meizhi's eyes narrowed into slits as she smiled. "Try it first. Tomorrow we're going to her aunt's house in Zhining for the New Year reunion. There will be quite a few relatives. Does Xiao Xie mind coming along?"
Xie Jingsui ignored Lu Zhining's warning look and said, "Of course I don't mind. I just want to trouble my uncle to drive me to a nearby mall this afternoon to buy some gifts."
I'm so tired, I can't stay in this house anymore.
God knows how gossipy her relatives in the countryside are!
