"Alright, that's all in the past. Today is a good day, let's not dwell on sad things. If your brother were alive, he would definitely be happy for us."
Xiang Anqi quickly wiped his eyes, immediately drank a glass of wine, and said, "It's really spicy."
Bai Jiaojiao didn't expose his emotions; instead, she started talking about her past.
Although it may sound bizarre or even like a joke to outsiders, there's no point in hiding it from family.
Hearing this for the first time, Xiang Anqi was shocked and said, "I've never heard you say these things before. I knew it. Even if a golden phoenix came from your small place, it couldn't possibly be this outstanding."
Xu Hong said, "What do you know? You're always at home talking about how great your little apprentice is, but you don't know anything about him."
"Godmother, why should I talk to Teacher Xiang about this?"
"You child, you call her godmother and me Teacher Xiang?"
"I'm just used to calling you that, Godfather!"
She's really gotten used to being called Bai Jiaojiao; she adapts well to being called Xu Hong.
Hearing Bai Jiaojiao's attempt to salvage the situation, Xiang Anqi finally felt relieved: "Don't just talk, eat your food, eat more. Your godmother made this whole table of food, don't waste it."
Bai Jiaojiao picked up another piece of food with her chopsticks, and Xu Hong asked, "So you haven't had any contact with your former adoptive mother since?"
“We’ve lost contact. Their daughter used to deliberately provoke me at home, which led to me being kicked out of the house. She probably doesn’t want me to have anything to do with their family anymore. She’s not contacting my family anymore, and that’s fine.”
Xu Hong commented, "This girl is truly heartless. Your father and several older brothers and sisters raised her from a young age, and she just wiped her mouth and left."
"I'm not dwelling on the past either."
Xu Hong said anxiously, "What's the difference? You're going to be kicked out and then go back to fawn over them? Look at us now, we're studying at Peking University, and it's not bad at all!"
Bai Jiaojiao laughed: "I think so too. Anyway, we all have our own paths in the future, and in the end, I may not necessarily be worse off than them."
"Yes, that's ambitious!" Xiang Anqi was very satisfied.
Xu Hong then asked, "I heard from Lao Xiang that you're already married, but you seem so young. What's your husband like? Is your mother-in-law easy to get along with?"
She learned from Bai Jiaojiao's words that Shen Heng was someone she met in Shili Village, so he was probably from there.
It wasn't that she looked down on the old farmers; it was just that in some places, due to limited education, the local customs were rather fierce. As the saying goes, "When a scholar meets a soldier, reason is useless." Xu Hong was worried that the Shen family would be difficult to get along with.
“His parents died early, and he wasn’t close to any relatives. He was all alone, and I didn’t have any parents-in-law or elders to take care of. After I married him, it was just the two of us living together behind closed doors.”
Xu Hong listened with satisfaction, but also sighed, "I never thought they were all people with such tragic fates."
Xiang Anqi said, "That child is definitely a wild child. No wonder he has such a fierce aura. He lost his parents at a young age. If he hadn't been able to handle it, he wouldn't have survived to this age."
"Why didn't he come this time?" Xu Hong hadn't met her son-in-law yet.
“He went on a business trip to the south. The economic situation has changed, and he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity while it was still early. He’s a business school student, and we listened to his teacher and bought a house there. He said that the house would belong to him in the future, and that the land there would become very valuable once it developed. Godfather and Godmother, if you are interested, he can help you buy a house there next time he goes.”
