Proposal (V)
Xi Jiu's tone was too sincere, and the furious Ruan Xiaoqi was barely coaxed into submission.
However, she still felt a little awkward. With a slightly blushing face, she leaned into Xi Jiu's arms and said shyly, "If you really want to hear about my childhood, I can tell you slowly. But you are not allowed to laugh at me."
There is no way. There are too many dark histories in childhood, and our big stars still have a lot of idol baggage.
Xi Jiu suppressed a smile and nodded, "Okay, I definitely won't laugh at you, baby. Thank you for telling me about your childhood. I will definitely take it seriously and treat it like a serious scientific research project."
Ruan Qi raised her little head, snorted proudly, and was reluctantly satisfied.
After coaxing his baby, Xi Jiu held her and lay down on the bed.
Summer afternoons always make people sleepy.
Xi Jiu held Ruan Qi in his arms, listening to the faint chirping of cicadas and the breeze outside the window, and gradually fell into a dream.
The two of them slept until after three in the afternoon.
Xi Jiu was awakened by the sound of talking in the yard.
"Brother Ruan, is your Xiaoqi back? I brought her a few pounds of pork ribs. Please make some sauce for her tonight!"
"Thank you, Sister Chen. Since you're here, come on. What else are you bringing? Sister Chen, come in and sit down. It's cool inside."
"No, no, I have to go home and take care of my granddaughter. Please let Xiaoqi come to my house to play when she has time. My little ones miss her so much."
The aunt who came to deliver the spare ribs had a very loud voice, and her hasty voice broke the tranquility of the courtyard.
Xi Jiu lay in bed, holding Ruan Qi and listening for a while. Then he carefully pulled his arm out of Ruan Qi's pillow, threw back the quilt, got out of bed, put on his slippers, and walked to the window.
In the yard outside the window, Grandpa Ruan was still chatting with the old lady.
The aunt handed the ribs to Grandpa Ruan, waved her hand and was about to leave. At this moment, she looked up and happened to see Xi Jiu standing at the window looking out.
The aunt's eyes lit up when she saw the handsome stranger's face.
"Wow! This guy is so handsome, Brother Ruan, is this your Feng Mian's nephew or his future son-in-law?"
There are no secrets in the village. The identities of Xi Jiu and Cheng Jinyan had long been spread by the group of neighbors.
Now the entire Qingyun Village knows that Ruan Qi has a fiancé and a cousin.
If it weren't for the fact that the Ruan family needed rest after traveling so long, everyone would have already formed a group to come to the Ruan family to "watch" the newlyweds.
Aunt Chen stood in the yard, looking up at Xi Jiu, her eyes full of curiosity and scrutiny.
Grandpa Ruan also noticed Xi Jiu standing by the window at this time, and said to Aunt Chen with a smile: "This is my grandson-in-law, his name is Xi Jiu."
The conversation between the two elders downstairs reached Xi Jiu's ears clearly.
Xi Jiu opened the window and greeted Aunt Chen downstairs.
"Hello, I'm Xi Jiu."
The man spoke in a calm tone, his attitude modest but not servile. Because Ruan Qi was still asleep, he deliberately lowered his voice, which made him seem more mature.
Elders like steady young people the most, and so does Aunt Chen. She looked at the mature and steady Xi Jiu and felt a sudden liking for him.
"The young man is really good-looking and has a steady temperament. Our Xiaoqi really has good taste. Brother Ruan, Xiaoqi found you such an outstanding grandson-in-law. You will be blessed in the future!"
Grandpa Ruan loves to hear others praise his granddaughter, and he immediately smiles so hard that his teeth are exposed.
At the same time, he didn't forget to bring his grandson-in-law along, praising him repeatedly: "Laojiu is really excellent, calm and steady, and he takes special care of Xiaoqi. I feel relieved that Xiaoqi is with him."
Grandpa Ruan's tone was full of satisfaction with Xi Jiu.
Aunt Chen looked at the handsome man on the second floor, feeling both envious and amazed.
"I'll be satisfied if my granddaughter finds a boyfriend half as good as your grandson-in-law when she grows up. Ultimately, it's Xiaoqi's excellence that's why she found such a good partner. That Xi, Xi..."
Aunt Chen was stumped and didn't know how to address Xi Jiu.
Xi Jiu immediately said, "Just call me Old Nine, just like Grandpa Ruan."
Aunt Chen: "Okay, I won't be polite then. Laojiu, you and Xiaoqi can come visit me when you have time. I planted a few new plum trees this year, and they're about to be ripe. They're really delicious."
Xi Jiu stood in front of the window and nodded politely: "Okay, Xiao Qi and I will definitely go when we have time."
Aunt Chen suddenly became as happy as a flower.
"Okay, then I'll go back first. Brother Ruan, you can come in too. I'm leaving now."
Aunt Chen left happily.
Before long, the news that Ruan Qi's fiancé was steady, profound and profound spread throughout Qingyun Village.
At this moment, someone who was steady, deep and profound was kissing Ruan Qi, who had just woken up.
Ruan Qi hadn't fully woken up yet, and she was in a daze as the man pressed her down and kissed her until she couldn't breathe.
"Hmm...Jiu..."
The little girl, dizzy from the kiss, wanted to speak, but the man swallowed up every sound she made.
Seeing that the two were about to lose control, Ruan Qi had to reach out and push Xi Jiu, grabbing his hand that was about to cause trouble in time.
"...Jiujiu, it's...daytime..."
She finally managed to utter a complete sentence with difficulty.
Xi Jiu's movements stopped.
The man's breathing was heavy, and his usually cold black eyes became deep and dark, with a glimmer of desire in his eyes.
He buried his head in Ruan Qi's shoulder and took a few deep breaths. He raised his head only after the impulse in his body gradually subsided.
"I'm sorry, baby. I couldn't help it."
The man's hoarse voice was filled with strong desire and dissatisfaction.
Ever since the recent night of revelry, Ruan Qi decided to cultivate herself and nourish her kidneys, and not allow Xi Jiu to behave recklessly again.
From then on, Xi Jiu became a monk for a whole week.
This is a doomsday disaster for a man who has started eating meat and is extremely energetic.
The consequence of excessive repression was that Xi Jiu almost lost control and almost committed adultery in broad daylight.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with committing adultery in broad daylight, but committing adultery on your future father-in-law's territory is a bit impolite.
In order to avoid being kicked out of the Ruan family, Xi Jiu controlled his desire in time and regained the reason to run away from home.
He took a deep breath, pushed himself up from Ruan Qi, and kissed her lightly on the corner of her lips.
"I'm going to take a shower. Baby, take a break. It's time to get up."
After saying that, Xi Jiu got up from the bed and went to the bathroom.
——
When Xi Jiu came out of the cold shower, Ruan Qi had already gotten up and tidied her clothes.
It was almost four in the afternoon and time for dinner was almost here.
The sounds of pots and pans gradually rang out on the first floor of the villa, and the Ruan family began to busy themselves with cooking.
As a son-in-law who hadn't yet married, Xi Jiu couldn't just stay in his bedroom and slack off. He changed into casual home clothes and went downstairs hand in hand with Ruan Qi.
At this time, the first floor of the villa was very lively.
Grandpa Ruan and Grandpa Xi each took a small stool and sat facing each other at the gate playing chess.
Grandma Ruan and Yang Liu sat aside, chatting and peeling peanuts.
The TV in the living room was playing a TV series starring Ruan Qi. Nie Beilou sat on the sofa and watched it intermittently, holding a medical book in his left hand and a dog bowl in his right hand.
The two idiots, Dahui and Xiaohui, huddled together at Nie Beilou's feet, their big heads scrambling to get into the dog bowl to eat.
The kitchen, not far from the living room, was even more lively at this time.
Ruan Fengmian and Ruan Munan, father and son, were cutting vegetables. Nie Heng was wearing an apron and standing in front of the stove to make bone soup, while Cheng Jinyan, who was not very good at cooking, took on the task of washing vegetables. He stood in front of the sink and washed the pots and pans with a clanging sound.
Xi Jiu and Ruan Qi walked downstairs hand in hand. Nie Beilou, who was sitting in the living room, was the first to notice them.
"Are you awake?" Nie Beilou raised his eyes and asked lightly.
Ruan Qi yawned lazily and made a "hmm" sound in response to his master's words.
Dahui and Xiaohui, who had just been huddled together eating dog food, saw her and immediately turned around and ran over.
Xi Jiu, who was standing next to Ruan Qi, was ruthlessly pushed away. Da Hui and Xiao Hui, two idiots weighing nearly 100 pounds together, pounced on Ruan Qi together and almost knocked her to her butt.
Xi Jiu quickly supported her.
Just then, Ruan Munan walked out of the kitchen.
He handed a bowl of fried meatballs to Ruan Qi, then glanced at Xi Jiu and said, "Don't be idle, come and help."
The kitchen is the world of the Ruan men.
As a soon-to-be married member of the Ruan family, Xi Jiu’s mission is to master his cooking skills.
The clattering sound of cooking soon rang out. Ruan Munan and Xi Jiu stood side by side in front of two gas stoves, each holding a wok in their hands, while Ruan Fengmian stood by and gave instructions.
"The fire is too high, Laojiu. Turn it to medium heat and then turn it to low heat after three minutes."
"There's not enough salt. Laojiu, add some more salt."
"Oyster sauce, oyster sauce. This dish won't taste good without oyster sauce. Put more oyster sauce."
Ruan Fengmian and Xi Jiu were both brave enough to teach and learn, and the huge kitchen was bustling with activity between them.
Ruan Qi stood at the kitchen door and watched for a while with a smile. After making sure that Xi Jiu was okay, she turned around and went to the front door with a plate of fried meatballs.
At this time, the chess game between the two old men, Xi and Ruan, who were sitting at the gate, had reached a stalemate.
Ruan Qi walked over, took a look, and reached out to help his grandfather move a chess piece.
"Down here."
As soon as one piece moves, the dead chess game comes back to life instantly, just like water being poured into a dry well.
Old Master Xi, who was sitting opposite, had his eyes lit up. He slapped his thigh and gave Ruan Qi a thumbs-up: "That's a great move! You turned a dead end around. You're worthy of being Little Qi!"
Ruan Qi accepted the old man's praise with a smile.
She pulled a small stool over and sat down, then passed the fried meatballs to the table: "Grandpa, Grandpa Xi, eat some meatballs, my brother just fried them."
Old Master Xi picked one up with a toothpick, put it in his mouth, and nodded repeatedly. "It's crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, delicious. A man should be like your brother, with good cooking skills, so that he can find a wife in the future. I have to let Lao Jiu learn more."
Ruan Qi smiled and said, "Jiujiu is already learning. My father is teaching her personally."
When Mr. Xi heard this, he immediately looked towards the kitchen.
When he saw Xi Jiu standing in front of the gas stove, he smiled and said, "Okay, okay, with my father-in-law teaching me personally, I'm sure Lao Jiu will be able to master the cooking skills."
Grandpa Ruan, who was sitting opposite, coughed awkwardly and said, "In my family, men cook, so Lao Jiu has to work hard as well."
"What are you talking about, in-laws!" Old Master Xi waved his hand nonchalantly. "Men are naturally stronger than women. Would it be unfair for him to eat so much if he doesn't do more work? Our ancestors said that we value sons over daughters. What does it mean to value sons over daughters? It means that men do the heavy work and women do the light work. Our ancestors said so, and we, as their descendants, must abide by it! So let Old Nine do any work. He deserves it!"
Bang!
One child fell.
Mr. Ruan was stunned.
His in-laws' logic...
Really 6.
Here we come!
I didn't update yesterday because of something else, so I apologize
