Wen Hua and Xu Qiong called when they were almost at the roundabout in Jia County, and Wendell went out to answer the phone with the car keys.
Wen Xia and a few others were cooking at home. After a while, Liu Anan and Jiang Yan came with fruit cakes.
Wen Xia pretended to be unhappy and said, "When did you come to my place and still need to carry things?"
Jiang Yan smiled and said, "It's not for you, it's for Uncle Wen."
As she spoke, she rushed forward and hugged Wen Xia's neck, "Xia Xia, I miss you so much. It's been a long time since we last met, and you look so beautiful again."
Wen Xia's eyes curved with laughter, and she kissed her, "Yan Yan looks pretty too."
Liu Anan came over “not to be outdone” and said, “Xia Xia, I look good too.”
Wen Xia and Jiang Yan nodded at the same time, and then smiled.
Zhao Zichuan was stunned when he saw Qin Mo sitting on the stool and sorting onions. It was not that he thought he should not sort him out, but he just felt that Qin Mo, who looked like he didn't mess with me, had finally got this day.
A few years later, he found out that he had the same situation today.
Meeting his gaze, Qin Mo glanced at him lazily, indicating that he was making a fuss.
People who are not married won’t understand.
Zhao Zichuan somehow understood what he meant: "..."
After talking for a while, Wen Xia and Luo Yan went into the kitchen to cut vegetables. "An An, Yan Yan, sit up and watch TV. Hey, you are your own boyfriend, so you should entertain him yourself."
Jiang Yan walked into the kitchen with a smile, "Don't watch TV, we are here to help."
Liu Anan patted Zhao Zichuan and followed him in. "You go sort the green onions, I'll go help Xia Xia."
Jiang Yan had never seen Luo Yan before, so she looked at her curiously for a few seconds, then asked Wen Xia, "Xia Xia, who is she?"
Wen Xia explained: "This is Aunt Luo."
Jiang Yan said "Oh" and said obediently, "Aunt Luo."
Liu Anan knew Luo Yan and had eaten two meals with her. She said happily, "Aunt Luo, you cook. I'll have a treat today."
Luo Yan’s cooking skills are indeed very good, there is no exaggeration at all.
Luo Yan felt embarrassed by the compliment. She smiled and said, "I'm just helping Xia Xia. Xia Xia cooks delicious food."
Liu Anan and Jiang Yan knew Wen Xia's level, and they laughed out loud. Wen Xia was "angry and embarrassed" and said, "I'll break up for one minute."
Whenever Wen Xia and the other two were together, they had endless things to talk about (gossip) and laughter could be heard from time to time.
Suddenly I heard Jiang Xu's name.
Qin Mo paused for a moment, and Zhao Zichuan looked at him with gloating eyes.
The next second, Qin Mo put down the onion, stood up, walked into the kitchen, and opened the cupboard to look for something.
As soon as he came in, Liu Anan and Jiang Yan stopped talking about Jiang Xu.
Seeing that he hadn't found anything for a while, Wen Xia glanced at him and asked in confusion, "What are you looking for?"
"Bowl." Qin Mo looked at her dimly.
Wen Xia understood: "..."
This guy must be trying to eavesdrop on what they are talking about.
She didn't know whether to laugh or cry, then reached out and took one, grinning and saying, "Isn't this a bowl?"
"I don't want this one, I want the green one." Qin Mo said calmly.
Wen Xia: “…”
Liu Anan and Jiang Yan were just talking about Jiang Xu being on TV, but this guy looked like he was being cheated on.
She pinched him and said, "Where there is green, take this."
Qin Mo walked out slowly, and Jiang Yan tilted her head and whispered, "Xia Xia, my handsome cousin feels so good at home."
Liu Anan took over and summed it up in three words, "Little puppy."
Wen Xia: “…”
Milk has nothing to do with Qin Mo, more like a wolf.
A wolf on the loose at night.
Before she could speak, Liu Anan whispered again: "Wolf at night, milk during the day."
Jiang Yan laughed out loud, Wen Xia: “…”
The tips of her ears felt a little hot.
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yan knew that he was right. He deliberately touched her arm and said with a wicked smile: "Xia Xia, is that right?"
Wen Xia: “…”
She bared her teeth and asked back, "Then are you guys? If you are, then I am. If you are not, then I am not."
Liu Anan and Jiang Yan were silent immediately. The next second, the three of them looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
The three men in the living room ignored Cong in silence, while Qin Mo basically looked like "don't bother with me" when he was outside.
Although Zhao Zichuan talked a lot, he kept silent without Pan Sen to block his attack, otherwise he would not be able to stop Qin Mo's vicious words.
Zhou Qing was a grade higher than them and they seldom communicated with each other, so there was nothing much to talk about.
…
When Xu Qiong and Wen Hua got home and saw Luo Yan, they were stunned for a moment and subconsciously looked at Wendell.
It's no wonder that the two of them reacted this way. Over the years, they have rarely seen a woman of the same age as Wen De in the Wen family.
This should be the first one besides Liu Yan.
Winder knew what they were thinking and pursed his lips, "No."
Wen Hua and Xu Qiong were a little disappointed. Wen Hua snorted, but thinking that today was his birthday, he stopped talking.
But he sighed in his heart, thinking that as a father, how could he feel at ease if his son didn't get married?
It’s not that Wen Xia is unfilial, but the children have their own families and jobs, and they can go home very rarely. By then, Wen De will be alone and have no one to talk to.
After a while, Wen Xia was pulled into the room by Xu Qiong. After the door was closed, Xu Qiong asked, "Xia Xia, who is that?"
Wen Xia understood what she meant and explained, "I used to be a tutor. Xiao Yan was doing an internship at my father's factory, so Aunt Luo came to take care of him."
"Oh." Xu Qiong sighed.
"Grandma, Aunt Luo is single, and I think she's a nice person."
Wen Xia actually hoped that Wen De’s heart would no longer be with Liu Yan, but when she thought of the photos she saw in the drawer in her previous life, she pursed her lips.
Xu Qiong asked happily: "What does your father mean?"
Wen Xia was amused by her grandmother's appearance. "I don't know either, but Dad really likes the food Aunt Luo cooks. I weighed him a few days ago and he gained five pounds."
Hearing that her son had gained weight, Xu Qiong smiled more, "No wonder he looks stronger. I told your grandfather about it, and he said it was strange that he looked stronger. He ate perfunctorily by himself."
Looking at Xu Qiong's kind face, Wen Xia suddenly thought of a sentence: everyone is unfortunate, but also fortunate.
Although Winder did not have a good marriage, he had loving parents. Just like her, he did not have maternal love, but had heavy paternal love.
And Qin Mo's consistent preference for her.
In fact, some injustices may appear, but if you think about it from another perspective, everything is fair.
"Grandma, I will graduate in a year, and I will take good care of Dad then."
Xu Qiong patted her hands, somewhat relieved, "Xia Xia, your father only has you as his daughter, so come back with Qin Mo more often. Fortunately, our two homes are close, so we can get there in a few minutes."
Wen Xia nodded.
…
A group of people were chatting about this and that, and it was very lively for a while. After a while, Qin Mo's parents also came and brought some things for Wen De. Wen Xia also had some, which were all snacks brought back from business trips.
Qin Mo naturally didn't, but he was used to it. He was used to his wife's family status being higher than his.
But he also got a "good deal" and there was no fight between the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law.
Wen Xia took out some things for them and took the extra things back to the room. She came out and looked at the clock on the wall. It was almost twelve o'clock. She confidently instructed Qin Mo, "Go pick up Xiao Yan and bring him back for dinner."
