There are still more than ten days left until the end of the winter vacation. The winter vacation is quite long, more than 40 days.
People in Beijing have begun to buy goods.
Before Ye Xiaoxiao even went to buy anything, she had already accepted a pile of things sent by Song Guangjing and the Lu family, which probably couldn't even fit in the car.
Old Lady Lu called Ye Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, come to our house quickly. We have sent a lot of eels here. They are really fat. Come over for a meal and take a few home.
And your parents, come along, I will be unhappy if they don’t come.”
Ye Xiaoxiao had no choice but to agree, "Okay, I'll take my parents over there, grandma, please wait for us for a while."
Mrs. Lu said happily, "Okay, grandma will definitely wait for you."
Ye Xiaoxiao said something to Miao Cuifang and Ye Jianguo, then drove them to the compound.
It is easier to enter after the license plate number is registered.
When driving to Lu's house, Ye Xiaoxiao happened to bump into Hao Bing.
Hao Xiaobing had already seen her, so Ye Xiaoxiao had to stop the car.
Before he could say anything, Hao Bing saw Ye Jianguo and Miao Cuifang in the car.
"Ye...Brother Ye."
Hao Dongbing suddenly became very excited.
Ye Jianguo had never seen Hao Bing before. When he saw him, he was stunned for a moment, then called out, "Bingzi?"
"It's me, it's me." Hao Bing agreed immediately.
When Ye Jianguo was the squad leader in the army, Hao Bing was a soldier in that squad.
Later he was promoted to platoon leader, and Hao Bing became squad leader.
The two had a good relationship until they were ambushed by the enemy during an operation. Ye Jianguo was injured while covering Hao Bing and had to leave the unit.
Hao Bing made great contributions in that action, thus getting the opportunity to rise to prominence.
Because of his poor living environment, Ye Jianguo looks several years older than Hao Bing, but after recuperating in Beijing for a few months, he looks very good.
Hao Bing opened his mouth and said, "Are you going to..."
"Let's go to Koji's house."
Ye Jianguo's feelings were complicated. He hadn't seen her for more than ten years, and there was nothing in common between them.
Moreover, it is hard to say whether Hao Yanyan's attitude when she came over a few days ago was what Hao Bing was thinking.
Seeing the atmosphere getting colder, Ye Xiaoxiao could only say, "Uncle Hao, let's go."
Hao Bing nodded awkwardly.
When Miao Cuifang saw Hao Bing, she said, "You are completely different from before."
I used to be a silly boy and often went to other people's houses to eat for free.
Looking at Hao Bing in military uniform, Ye Jianguo felt a little envious.
The achievement at that time was not made by Hao Bing alone, but he did not regret his decision. He regarded it as the last thing he did for Yan Yan and would not bring up the past.
Ye Xiaoxiao drove home, and her aunt was already preparing food in the kitchen.
Every time she comes to our house for dinner, the old lady is very active.
"Come in, Xiaoxiao, I'll take you to see the eels."
Old Mrs. Lu pulled Ye Xiaoxiao towards the kitchen like a child, where there was a large basin with more than six eels in it.
They are very plump and, what's more rare, still alive, each one jumping around happily.
There is no sea in the capital, so it would definitely take some effort to transport it here.
Xiaoxiao knew why Old Lady Lu asked her to come here.
Pretending to be scared, "Grandma, this looks like a snake."
Old Lady Lu patted her slender back and said, "Don't be afraid, that's not a snake."
In fact, Ye Xiaoxiao was not afraid at all and coaxed the old lady into laughing.
The old lady asked the aunt to cook a few eels, braised or steamed, both of which tasted good.
…
Hao family.
Hao Bing felt a little uneasy and regretted it now. He should have invited Brother Ye and his wife to his house for a visit, but why didn't they come?
This is a good opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding, so we must seize it.
He Qiaoxiang looked at her husband swaying back and forth and asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling unwell?"
Hao Dongbing: "Guess who I saw?"
He Qiaoxiang: "Who is it? It can't be your good daughter again."
Of course, He Qiaoxiang was talking about Ye Xiaoxiao, and her tone was sinister.
"Not only did I see Xiaoxiao, I also saw Brother Xiaoye and his wife."
As soon as Hao Bing finished speaking, He Qiaoxiang was stunned.
"What are you doing here?"
Hao Xiaobing: "Of course we're going to the Lu family. Our Yanyan is married, and I guess Xiaoxiao and Lu Han will get married soon."
He Qiaoxiang: "The Lu family, with such a family background, is actually willing to accept such an in-law."
Hao Bing: "This is a new era. Can you please stop being feudal? Everyone is equal, don't you know?"
He Qiaoxiang rolled her eyes and said, "I think you can only shout slogans. Everyone is equal, but shouldn't the money in your pocket be equal?"
"You can only say this at home. Don't go out and talk nonsense."
Hao Dongbing was so angry that he was fuming. He stood up and took two steps.
The wife's words would be used as evidence against her, and would not benefit the family.
"I'm not stupid."
He Qiaoxiang didn't want to argue with the other party, so she patiently asked, "What would Ye Jianguo and Miao Cuifang do when they saw you?"
Hao Bing sat down again: "No reaction at all, pretty calm."
He Qiaoxiang asked, "Have you seen Miao Cuifang? I heard that she is sick. What does she look like now?"
Hao Bing didn't pay attention to the other person's tone, "I was sitting in the car and didn't see it clearly."
He Qiaoxiang combed her hair and said, "Now in the compound, not only are we saying that we forced our adopted daughter away, but we are also saying that we taught our children to be ungrateful. If you really want to interact with the Ye family, let's go to the Lu family later."
Hao Dongbing was surprised, "Why are you so sensible this time?"
He Qiaoxiang: "Who am I doing this for? It's for you and your unlucky daughter. As long as you live a good life, I don't mind enduring some grievances."
Hao Bing didn't think about what He Qiaoxiang was wronged about, but it was a pleasant surprise that she could say this.
"Then let's go to Lu's house later."
Hao Bing did have a lot to say to Ye Jianguo, and he was willing to help if the other party had any difficulties in life.
It would be best if the two families could maintain a good relationship, so that there would be less guilt in the couple.
…
Ye Xiaoxiao is drinking tea after dinner.
He Qiaoxiang and Hao Bing came to Lu's house with some gifts.
Auntie came in and said someone was visiting, and the people having tea in the living room were not prepared.
"Who's coming here?"
"It's Captain Hao and Mrs. Hao."
The old lady immediately pouted and said, "What are you doing here? It's so annoying."
Mr. Lu: "Ahem, let them in. They are here for the right reasons, there is no reason to turn them away."
Old Lady Lu looked at Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiaoxiao, do you want to see us?"
Ye Xiaoxiao: "When we first arrived, we ran into Uncle Hao."
Mrs. Lu: "No wonder, let them in, don't make it seem like we are being impolite."
Hao Bing had not been to Lu's house many times before. He only came here to sit when he came to visit. There were many people at home, so he didn't have much chance to talk.
Ye Jianguo and Miao Cuifang were both staring at the door. When they saw Hao Bingbing and He Qiaoxiang, their emotions were very complicated.
