Chapter 166 Going to Big Brother's House
After saying that, Ai Xiaoxia sat next to Lu Jingshen, looked at him and laughed again: "Lu Jingshen, I find that the closer you are to someone, the more you like to bicker."
This is true. No matter whether it is Lu Jingyuan, Sun Qiang, or Lin Rui, Lu Jingshen can always argue with them. He doesn't talk much to people he is not close to, but he doesn't talk much to those he can talk to. He is actually a bit introverted.
Lin Rui looked at Lu Jingshen and smiled: "I didn't expect you to be such an interesting person."
Lu Jingshen almost laughed: "Thank you for the compliment, second brother."
While they were chatting and laughing, the waiter brought the pot and placed the copper hot pot in the middle. The feeling came up. The three of them were hungry, so they started to eat the hot pot.
While eating, Ai Xiaoxia also told Lu Jingshen about going to her eldest brother's house to get the photos.
Before, Ai Xiaoxia had thought about asking Lin Rui to help get it, but she was afraid that Lin Rui would think too much. Although this second brother looked innocent, he was actually very thoughtful. So she didn't want to cause him any trouble.
Another thing is that Lin Xiao’s attitude of admitting his mistake is actually quite good, and there is no need to be so distant with him. After all, he is his biological brother. If he gets along better with him in the future, his parents will feel more at ease.
So after dinner, the three of them went to Lin Xiao's house.
I knocked on the door and it was Wang Lijuan who opened it. When she saw Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen, she was stunned.
Lin Xiao heard the sound and came out. Seeing Ai Xiaoxia and the others, he hurriedly said, "Xiaoxia, Jingshen, you are here. Come in quickly. I said these two days that I would go to your house with your sister-in-law. You are here first. Come in quickly." Then he greeted them at the door.
Wang Lijuan finally came to her senses and said to Ai Xiaoxia and the others, "Come in quickly. Please come in."
She didn't know what to say anymore. She always felt that Ai Xiaoxia would have something against her and that Ai Xiaoxia would target her.
Ai Xiaoxia, Lu Jingshen and Lin Rui all called their elder brother and sister-in-law, then changed their shoes and went into the house.
He hung his cotton-padded jacket on the clothes hanger at the door, came in and sat down on the sofa in the living room.
Lin Xiao's house is not small either, the living room is large and the decoration is also high-end. In the northern buildings of this era, such a house type is considered quite luxurious.
After sitting down, Lin Xiao asked Wang Lijuan to get his good tea and make it for Lu Jingshen, and then he went to the kitchen to wash fruits for them. He was busy and enthusiastic.
Wang Lijuan brought out some tea, put it on the coffee table, and poured it for them: "Drink some tea to warm yourself up. It's quite cold outside today." She didn't know what to say, so she just talked about the weather.
Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen were the same. They didn't have much to say, just thank you.
When Lin Xiao came out with the fruit, which was already cut and had toothpicks on it, he placed the fruit on the coffee table: "Eat fruit. I didn't know you were coming. If I had known you were coming, I would have gone out earlier to buy more food."
Ai Xiaoxia could sense her brother's enthusiasm, and she smiled and said, "We didn't call you in advance because we were afraid you'd be in trouble. Big brother, I came here to get a few photos of Xiaoya. Jing Shen has some college classmates in the south, and I think you've almost found everyone in the north. Ask his classmates in the south to help ask around, just in case there's any news."
When Lin Xiao heard about his sister Lin Mei, he sighed deeply: "My two sisters have such a miserable life? It's also because I'm not a good brother."
These words touched Ai Xiaoxia's heart. Lin Rui had also said the same thing. Big Brother really said this from the bottom of his heart. Just these words made Ai Xiaoxia's feelings towards Lin Xiao change from the bottom of her heart.
She said, "Brother, I'm fine now, so I hope to find Xiaoya and see if she's doing well."
Lin Xiao's eyes were red. He exhaled deeply and nodded: "I also hope to get news about Xiao Ya soon." Then he stood up and went to get Lin Mei's photo.
When Wang Lijuan was left alone with the three of them in the living room, it was very awkward. They had nothing to say and were all silent.
In order to ease the embarrassment, Lin Rui asked Wang Lijuan where she bought the oranges, and they were quite sweet.
But when Ai Xiaoxia took a bite of the orange, she closed one eye reflexively because of the sourness, but in order to comply with her second brother's words, she still kept smiling and insisted on eating a slice.
Seeing Ai Xiaoxia's little expression, Lu Jingshen quickly took the remaining orange slices from her hand and said, "Let me try it too." Then he ate a slice with an expressionless face.
Fortunately, Lin Xiao came out quickly. He was holding an envelope with photos of Lin Mei inside. He handed the envelope to Ai Xiaoxia.
Ai Xiaoxia selected two negatives and said that she would return them after they were developed, and that they would be kept safe with her eldest brother.
After getting the film, they chatted for a while. Lin Xiao was always enthusiastic, and Ai Xiaoxia's tone and feelings towards him had actually changed unconsciously.
Seeing that it was getting late, they prepared to go back, after all, they had to go to work the next day.
Lin Xiao and Wang Lijuan saw them off to the downstairs of the apartment building, said goodbye, and then went back.
Ai Xiaoxia and the other two walked out of the community and talked as they walked towards the intersection ahead.
Ai Xiaoxia walks between her husband and her second brother. In her previous life, she most wanted to have a handsome brother. In this life, her dream has come true. Although she still needs to get along with her eldest brother, this second brother is really just as she imagined, handsome and doting on his sister.
The three of them talked for a while about looking for Lin Mei. When they reached the intersection, they took a taxi and went home. Of course, they all said that what happened today must be kept secret and not let their parents know.
When they got home, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen also talked about Lin Xiao and Wang Lijuan.
In fact, Lin Xiao has always tried very hard to be nice to Ai Xiaoxia, but he was a little too anxious and tried too hard, which made Ai Xiaoxia sometimes not know how to communicate with him.
But at least it shows that Lin Xiao is good to Ai Xiaoxia, which makes Ai Xiaoxia feel at ease. As they get along with each other slowly, things will get better and better.
As for Wang Lijuan, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen didn't understand her either. She was always worried. She was polite, but she was hiding something.
So Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen felt that they really needed to get along with this person slowly, and it would be a good idea to be careful with her anyway.
The next day, Ai Xiaoxia took the film out for further development. She wrote Lin Mei's detailed information on the back of the photo and asked Lu Jingshen to send it to several of his college classmates, asking them to inquire about it first while she slowly thought of other ways to continue looking.
This weekend, Ai Xiaoxia and Lu Jingshen returned to their hometown to install a telephone at home so that it would be convenient for them in the future.
Of course, after returning, I also heard Lu Guojiu and Li Shaofen talking about the Ai family.
After Grandma Ai passed away, Ai Weimin always felt that he had been at a disadvantage, so he wanted to share the old woman's belongings. However, in rural areas, whoever takes care of the elderly will inherit the old woman's inheritance, and in fact, the elderly in rural areas don't have much inheritance, especially Ai Weiguo's family, who built a house later, and basically didn't use the old woman's money. Anyway, in the end, it seems that he didn't get much, maybe some jewelry was taken away.
