The happy atmosphere at the Ye family was in stark contrast to the atmosphere in the capital.

The Xu family in Beijing.

Zhao Hongxia: "Jianwen, go play with your friends later. Your uncle Hao will come to visit you for the New Year."

The Xu family and the Hao family originally had close contacts, and they were like grasshoppers on a rope, otherwise there would be no intention of making their children in-laws.

Xu Jianwen was a little impatient. The Hao family was really annoying. After one "Hao Xiaoxiao" left, another Hao Yanyan came.

Free love is advocated nowadays, but only his parents are still so stubborn.

"I'll go there at noon and wait for them for two hours. If they don't come, forget it."

Zhao Hongxia: "You haven't met Yanyan yet, right? You should communicate with her more during this meeting."

Zhao Hongxia quickly accepted the fact that her future daughter-in-law had been replaced.

It was the Hao family that she had her eyes on, not the daughter of the Hao family.

The only thing I feel sorry about is that, of the two children, Xiaoxiao is prettier.

But being pretty can't make a living, and that child has a stubborn personality. She is not as obedient as the current one.

Xu Jianwen didn't say anything, obviously not ready to agree.

The Hao couple did not keep people waiting for long. Half an hour after the Xu mother and son finished talking, they came over.

Zhao Hongxia called her husband downstairs to entertain the guests together.

Hao Yanyan was wearing the most fashionable red cotton jacket in Beijing. Her original braids were cut short to shoulder length. She looked well-behaved when she lowered her head.

"Yanyan, come and sit down." Zhao Hongxia pulled her to the sofa and introduced her, "This is your brother Jianwen."

"Brother Jianwen."

Hao Yanyan knew the relationship between the two families, and she also learned from her mother-in-law that the handsome man in front of her would be her fiancé, so she couldn't help but feel a little shy.

Xu Jianwen just nodded at Hao Yanyan and looked away.

Now he thought of Xiaoxiao. Although she had a bad temper, she was a top beauty and it was prestigious for him to take her out to play.

This Hao Yanyan.

It's a bit boring.

Seeing that the other party did not respond, Hao Yanyan felt a little disappointed, and thought to herself, could it be that Xu Jianwen still thought about Ye Xiaoxiao?

Not only did that man steal her body, but he also wanted to steal her fiancé's heart.

The two families talked for a while, and Xu Jianwen was about to leave.

"Mom and Dad, I have an appointment with my friends."

Zhao Hongxia said quickly: "Jianwen, Yanyan has never been here before, take her with you and get familiar with the environment."

"Mom..." Xu Jianwen was not happy.

"Your Uncle Hao and Aunt He are here, hurry up and perform well!" Zhao Hongxia whispered.

Xu Jianwen could only agree to take Hao Yanyan away with him.

He Qiaoxiang was very satisfied with the Xu family's knowledge and said with a smile: "The two children get along very well."

"Yes, Yanyan is still studying, right? If she has any questions, she can come over and let Jianwen tutor her."

Zhao Hongxia just said it casually, but He Qiaoxiang's expression changed a little.

In fact, Hao Yanyan had stopped studying a long time ago, but it was not because the Ye family did not support her, but because she had poor academic performance and gave up studying on her own initiative.

After arriving in Beijing, He Qiaoxiang hired a teacher to give her extra lessons, but the results were mediocre.

Hao Yanyan was worried that she would disappoint her mother, and she made the excuse that she only finished elementary school when she was at the Ye family, so she was unable to learn such knowledge.

At this moment, facing Zhao Hongxia's proposal, He Qiaoxiang's face turned pale and she could only perfunctorily respond.

Here, Xu Jianwen and Hao Yanyan had just walked out of the door when they bumped into Xu Jianli who was returning home.

Xu Jianli is Xu Jianwen's younger brother and is only sixteen years old.

Seeing a woman standing next to her brother, she felt a little angry and asked, "Brother, when are you going to pick up Sister Xiaoxiao?"

Xu Jianwen glared at the other person and kept talking about something irrelevant.

Hao Yanyan's face also turned pale.

Xu Jianwen: "I don't even know where the person is or where to pick him up. Go home quickly and don't meddle in other people's business."

Xu Jianli was indignant: "Brother, you are such a scumbag!"

Xu Jianwen: "You..."

Before he could say something, Xu Jianli quickly ran to the door, opened it, and locked the two people outside with a bang.

Xu Jianwen's temples twitched.

"Ignore him, let's go."

After saying something to Hao Yanyan, Xu Jianwen strode downstairs.

Hao Yanyan followed Xu Jianwen with a complicated expression, and she became more certain of her previous thoughts.

The compound seemed a bit quiet during the Spring Festival, and I didn't meet many people while walking on the street.

Xu Jianwen was somewhat relieved. The place they were going was a bit far, so he could only take Hao Yanyan on a bicycle.

When we arrived at the gate of the compound, a jeep stopped and a man got out.

Xu Jianwen braked the car and shouted, "Brother Lu, you just came back!"

Lu Hanchuan turned sideways and saw Xu Jianwen and the woman behind him.

"Um."

Cold attitude.

Xu Jianwen actually didn't dare to talk to Lu Hanchuan. Although they were only a few years older than each other, Lu Hanchuan was the one who was thrown into the military camp by Master Lu to be trained at the age of sixteen.

By now he has been promoted to the rank of lieutenant colonel, and is second to none in the entire compound.

What's more, Lu Hanchuan has been a domineering figure since he was young. Anyone who dared to provoke him in the compound would be subdued.

It just so happened that both his parents were national backbones and their bodies were also first-rate.

As the only child of the Lu family, no one in the capital dared to do anything to him.

"Then we'll leave first, Brother Lu."

Xu Jianwen couldn't wait.

It was not until they left the compound that Hao Yanyan remembered the stern face of the man just now, and then she asked quietly: "Brother Jianwen, who was that just now?"

Xu Jianwen: "Lu Hanchuan is also a kid from the compound, but he is not from the same world as us. We don't usually play together. He has a bad temper. Just stay away from him when you see him."

Hao Yanyan: "I understand, Brother Jianwen."

She totally has the attitude of an obedient young wife.

Seeing Hao Yanyan being so well-behaved, Xu Jianwen was a little dissatisfied in his heart, but his attitude was no longer so tough.

At least she is much easier to serve than that young lady named "Hao Xiaoxiao".

On the other side, Lu Hanchuan looked thoughtfully in the direction where Xu Jianwen and Hao Yanyan left.

…

The New Year has passed in a flash.

Soon it was the fourteenth day of the first lunar month.

The Ye family is preparing for the Lantern Festival tomorrow.

Except for the heavy snow before the New Year, the remaining ten days were all sunny.

At noon, Ye Changyuan ran over excitedly, "Uncle and Aunt, my sister is back."

Miao Cuifang cried out: "Ye Mei is back. Is she alone? Is she with the child?"

Ye Changyuan said with a hint of disappointment: "No, it was just my sister and brother-in-law. The mountain road was difficult to walk on, so they didn't bring Huzi back."

Miao Cuifang: "I'll go over after I'm done with this. I haven't seen my sister for almost a year."

Ye Mei's husband's family lives in the county town, and she is considered one of the better-married girls in Baishi Village.

Ye Mei and her husband Wang Dongqiang were classmates and had a very good relationship.

Wang Dongqiang's mother-in-law was also a decent person. After Ye Mei gave birth to a son after marriage, her mother-in-law gave her job in the fabric factory to Ye Mei and stayed at home to take care of her grandson.

Ye Mei was educated and literate, and within two years she was promoted from a factory worker to a team leader, and her status in her husband's family became even higher.

Ye Xiaoxiao came to the front yard and immediately noticed the woman with curly hair and a big red hairpin.
