After saying that, he took Jiaojiao beside him and wanted to leave. The girl looked back curiously and thought to herself, there is a story behind this.
It's strange. With Xie Zhi's identity as the male protagonist, how could there not be beautiful women throwing themselves at him, such as a romantic encounter in the countryside, a childhood sweetheart, and the like.
Wen Jing's face was filled with sadness, and her tone was touching: "Brother Xie Zhi, I am Xiao Jing, don't you want me anymore? We grew up together, Brother Xie Zhi, I miss you so much."
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but sigh. This sweet voice made not only the man but herself also moved.
"Brother Xie Zhi, do you like that country bumpkin next to you?" A resentful tone came.
Xu Jiaojiao immediately retorted: "What's wrong with being a country bumpkin? I come from a clean and honest poor peasant family. Who are you looking down on?"
Xie Zhi glanced at her with indifferent eyes, and pulled the girl to get on the bus without looking back. The moment they sat down, he said, "Jiao Jiao, there's nothing between her and me. I only like you."
Xu Jiaojiao's smiling face was so adorable: "Of course I know."
The girl was pretty, with fair skin, and many people on the bus were secretly coveting her. Xie Zhi was very annoyed by the looks in their eyes, and a storm was brewing in his heart, and he really wanted to hide the girl.
The bus stopped at the side of the road, and the two walked into the compound. Xu Jiaojiao looked at the sentry standing guard at the door. Is this the military compound for military families? It looks so grand. Xie Zhi handed over the letter of introduction and identity certificate, and the man opened the door quickly.
"Honey, this place looks so impressive. There are people with guns."
My grandfather used to be a soldier in the army, and we had always lived in a large compound. Later, we moved out because of the wrong class classification. Now the government has allocated this house to us. There are too many people in our family, and the tube-shaped building is too small.
Xie Zhi explained with a smile and led the group inside. Xu Jiaojiao was unusually nervous and tugged at her skirt: "Will uncle and aunt dislike me?"
"No, Mom and Dad like you very much. Besides, you and I are the ones living together, so it's enough for me to like you."
After entering, there were only two-story buildings at most, and flowers were planted in front of every house. Xu Jiaojiao was stunned, thinking it was a big villa, but it turned out to be this kind.
Xie Zhi took the girl in skillfully, entered the yard, and rang the doorbell. Xu Jiaojiao had a smile on her face the whole time.
There were quick knocks from inside the house, and the front door opened, revealing a woman in a green shirt, with her hair freshly permed and even some makeup.
The moment Xu's mother saw Xie Zhi, she could no longer hold back her tears. She hugged him tightly, and burst into tears: "Xiaozhi, you're back."
Xie Zhi was a little emotional, so he put his things on the ground and patted his mother's back gently: "Mom, I'm back, Jiaojiao is still here."
As soon as these words came out, Xu's mother stopped crying in embarrassment, and excitedly held Jiaojiao's hand with her fair wrist, looking her up and down. The girl was amazingly beautiful, and the goose yellow dress made her look even more fresh and refined. Her rosy cheeks and a pair of beautiful eyes made her heart beat fast.
Mother Xu looked at her son with a smile. No wonder he liked her so much. She could only shake her head helplessly and pulled the girl in cordially: "It must be Jiaojiao, she looks like that movie star, so pretty."
As he spoke, he pulled her to sit on the sofa beside him: "How old is Jiaojiao?"
The girl replied obediently: "Auntie, I'm nineteen this year."
Xie Zhi noticed her discomfort, and his inky eyes smiled, "Mom, I'll take Jiaojiao upstairs to take a shower first. She was so uncomfortable on the train, I'll come down later."
Mother Xu immediately patted herself on the back and said, "I'm so sorry. Jiaojiao, you guys go upstairs and have a rest first. Lunch will be ready soon. Your dad will be back soon."
"Okay, Auntie." Xu Jiaojiao's attitude was neither too enthusiastic, but very measured.
She believed that one should not rush to please others. Although her marriage to Xie Zhi was a foregone conclusion, nothing could be certain until the end.
Xie Zhi carried the things into the kitchen: "Mom, this is what Jiaojiao's parents brought and made by themselves."
Xu's mother watched her son take out a huge pig's trotter and a marinated local chicken, and there were many other miscellaneous items prepared beside them.
"It's not easy these days, how can you still take it?"
"Mom, this is their intention."
"Okay, take Jiaojiao to have a good rest. The bed sheets in the room are new and have been cleaned." After saying that, Xu's mother quickly pushed the child out. The child used to be too lazy to say a few words, but now that he is getting married, he has become nagging.
Xie Zhi washed his hands and saw the girl looking around outside. She looked like a cute little animal, with her hand outstretched and a gentle smile.
Xu Jiaojiao immediately stood up, walked forward and held her hand. The two held hands tightly together, and she leaned in and said, "Auntie is easy to get along with."
"They like you very much, Jiaojiao, you don't know how lovable you are."
"My heart melted when I saw you."
Xu Jiaojiao felt that this man's learning ability was getting better and better. He spoke a lot of sweet words, which made her a little overwhelmed. She pinched Xie Zhi's waist and said, "You speak in a set way now."
"I really mean it."
The two of them came to the second floor and walked straight to the innermost room. When they opened the door, they found that the room was very big, about 40 square meters. This room was as big as the whole house she rented in the future.
Walking in and looking around, the overall style of the house presents the most fashionable wooden decoration of the era, but it is not the mahogany of ordinary people, but a brown color, which has a very medieval feel and looks very textured.
However, the most eye-catching thing inside is the entire solid wood wall of books. Xu Jiaojiao walked closer and found that most of the books inside were famous works, but there were also many foreign books, except for some English books that she could understand.
"Honey, you have so many books," she sighed.
"Watch it with me in the future, Jiaojiao, and go to college together."
"OK."
Xu Jiaojiao answered with a smile, then sat lazily on the sofa, watching Xie Zhi busy putting her clothes and personal belongings into the closet, thinking that it was fortunate that his house was big enough.
As the saying goes, no matter how much the mother-in-law likes her daughter-in-law, she can't stand her son working so hard. Before coming, she was very nervous, thinking that this house was like Hongyan's, and that she would have to squeeze in the same room with others.
"Aunt, is Brother Xie Zhi back?"
"I'm back. Xiaojing, don't go up. Jiaojiao and Xiaozhi need to rest."
There was a faint voice coming from downstairs, followed by the sound of high heels tapping on the stairs: "Brother Xie Zhi, don't you want Xiao Jing anymore?"
