379 face to face
Today’s itinerary is to go shopping in Wangfujing. This is the most prosperous place in Beijing, with big names gathered and crowds of people...
However, Lu Xue didn't want to go shopping. After a few rounds of sightseeing, she asked Lin Fang to play with Dou Dou while she took Lu Yi to do some shopping.
Lu Yi was puzzled. He had everything at home, so what else needed to be purchased?
Lu Xue reminded her, "When I go to visit Mo's house tonight, I have to bring some greeting gifts, right?"
Lu Yi shook his head, "No need, the chief's family lacks everything."
There is really no shortage. With a status like this, the old man has special gifts for his family... The gifts given by people who come and go are also valuable. From medicinal materials to porcelain to tea, they have everything. They are all good things. They are piled up for use.
Can't even use it all.
Lu Xue also knew that with a family like the Mo family, she would not be short of this gift, but she insisted that it was a matter of etiquette.
"What do Shao An's parents like?" Lu Xue asked, giving gifts to suit everyone's liking.
"The old man likes collecting, mother-in-law? I really don't know. He likes drinking tea, right?" Lu Yi felt a little ashamed. She really didn't care about the elderly and didn't even know their hobbies. She was a bit incompetent as a daughter-in-law.
"Collecting this kind of thing is not only expensive, but you also need to be discerning. If we don't know the art, we can't buy it." Lu Xue felt worried.
"Sister, the collection is very expensive! The old man has a lot, he can appreciate it slowly. We don't need to give this as a gift, just buy some tea and carry a fruit basket." Lu Yi gave an idea and joked on the side, if he really let his sister
Her family must not go bankrupt buying an antique calligraphy and painting or something like that?
"Isn't this too light?" Lu Xue hesitated. She came to visit her. It concerned Lu Yi. If she couldn't get the gift, wouldn't it embarrass Lu Yi?
"No, no, that's enough. It's not like they don't know what kind of family we are. If we really want to give you an antique calligraphy and painting, they won't think we are trying to make a fool of ourselves."
"Okay, then I'll do what you said." Lu Xue took Lu Yi through shopping and bought a box of expensive tea, and then bought a skirt for Lu Yi.
"Sister, there's no need to buy it for me."
She Wang Lifu said, "No, look at how plainly you dress all day long, you don't look like a girl at all."
Lu Yi was about to cry but had no tears. She had deliberately dressed low-key. Otherwise, she was still a young actress who had been on TV. How bad would it be to be recognized? So she kept her hair as loose as possible and wore big sunglasses.
She was dressed casually, so that no one would notice her.
"Obey, I'm going to meet my parents tonight anyway, so dress up a little bit."
"Okay, Lu Yi reluctantly compromised."
The group of people went home early to prepare and dress up. At 4 p.m., guard Xiao Zhang’s car was already waiting downstairs.
"The chief asked me to come and pick you up." He smiled attentively.
The group of people just happened to sit in a car, with tea and fruit baskets put in the trunk. The car drove all the way into the military compound. Lu Xue became a little nervous for no reason when looking at the tightly guarded door and the straight sentry standing there.
Only in such an environment did she know what kind of family Lu Yi had married into.
Originally, her family had nothing to do with such a family, and it was even impossible to have any contact with her in her lifetime. But because of Lu Yi, she became an in-law. This is really strange.
The car stopped at the entrance of Mo's courtyard, and Xie Mei was already waiting at the door with Zhang Ma.
"Welcome to sister Xiaoyi, brother-in-law and Doudou." She greeted them one by one with a smile.
Seeing her kind smile, Lu Xue felt slightly reassured. This mother-in-law looked good and she was not someone who loved to make things difficult for her daughter-in-law. Lu Yi was lucky.
After entering the room, Xie Mei greeted the guests: "Let's sit down for a while. Shao An and the old man haven't gotten off work yet. We'll have dinner when they come back."
The little guy was nestled in Lu Yi's arms. He was back in a familiar environment. He screamed excitedly and opened his two little hands wide, asking for a hug.
He is familiar with this place. He has lived there for a long time and has grandparents who love him, as well as Grandma Zhang.
He pointed at Xie Mei and screamed, very affectionately. When Lu Yi was injured in Shanghai, Mo Shaoan flew over to find her. He once asked Sister Li to take Yan Yan back here to live for a while. Xie Mei stayed with her good grandson every day.
, which can be regarded as developing a deep relationship with Yanyan.
"Oh, little dear, do you still remember grandma? Come on, grandma, give me a hug." Xie Mei smiled happily and hugged the little guy.
The little guy was nestling in his grandma's arms and talking to her. Although he couldn't hear clearly what he was saying, it was not difficult to see that the grandfather and grandson had a good relationship and Xie Mei really loved her grandson.
Lu Xue nodded, that's good. Mother is more valuable than son. The more Xie Mei likes Yanyan, she will treat Xiaoyi well for Yanyan's sake.
For a moment, Xie Mei saw Doudou hiding behind Lin Fang, and she screamed like a sweetheart again. She pulled Doudou over and asked him to play with Yanyan on the mat on the side, and asked Zhang Ma to quickly serve snacks.
He couldn't give birth to his own daughter, and Shao An only had Yanyan. There was nothing he could do, Xie Mei just liked children.
A group of women looked at the two children and chatted about some interesting things about the babies, and they were enjoying themselves.
Lu Xue was relieved at first. Xie Mei didn't look like a powerful person in such contact. She was caring and considerate of the juniors. Lu Yi followed her and would not be bullied.
Xie Mei also secretly nodded to Lu Xue's family. She originally thought that the Lu family's parents died young and the elder sister pulled the younger sister to grow up, so they would not have a good upbringing. However, upon contact, she found that this was not the case. Lu Xue was not only well-educated and sensible, but also understood the world.
Really not
Wrong. That brother-in-law, Lin Fang, looked honest and honest. Even Xiao Doudou was well educated by her. She played obediently with the little guy. When the little guy kept throwing things, he patiently picked them up without any problems.
Angry, looking like a good brother.
They are all good children. Xie Mei is relieved now. She passed the inspection and her daughter-in-law's parents are sensible and will not cause trouble in the future and drag down Shao An.
Parents always think too much, especially in families like theirs... When marrying a wife, you have to choose from a thousand choices. Don't choose someone who has a lot of things at home. Otherwise, relatives will come to you every now and then to solve the problem.
Trouble... so much trouble.
Lu Yi is not bad. She has figured out the advantages now. At least her family is simple, with only one sister, so she will not cause trouble to Shao An. It is not like a big family with many people and many things.
Thinking of this, Xie Mei's attitude became even better.
When Mo Shaoan came back with the old man, he saw a room full of women chatting animatedly. The only three men were playing in the corner of the living room. To be more precise, they were two young men playing together, and Lin Fang was in charge.
Look at them.
Mr. Mo is very dignified. Even when he greets me, he is serious, "Welcome to be our guests."
"You're welcome, old man." Lu Xue said in greeting, feeling guilty.
"Just follow Xiaoyi and call me uncle. We are all family, so don't be polite."
"Yes, uncle." This uncle called, which was really stressful.
"Mother Zhang, call Shao Jie to remind her and ask them where they are?" Xie Mei said. Shao An and Xu Nan were naturally indispensable for an occasion like today... She had called Shao Jie specifically to remind her that they would be together today.
When she comes to be a guest, she has to endure no matter how bad her temper is. If the Lu family comes to visit, if she dares to be rude again, she should not go back to this house.
Shao Jie wholeheartedly agreed and was very happy to have a reason to bring Xu Nan back. The reality is that Xu Nan has been in a trance recently for some reason. She often works overtime all night and does not go home. The relationship between the two of them has weakened a lot...
...She also wanted to find a chance to be alone with him and have a good talk.
After getting married, this was the first time the two had been in a cold war for so long. It was really uncomfortable to sleep in the same bed tomorrow and treat each other as nothing. Xie Mei called her and invited them to a family dinner. What a good opportunity.
, I don’t believe Xu Nan won’t come back.
Zhang's mother called and came back to tell Xie Mei, "Miss and uncle have arrived. Park the car and come in immediately."
"Okay," Xie Mei quickly greeted everyone to sit down and said apologetically to Lu Xue, "Sister Shao An and brother-in-law will be back soon. These two children asked them to come back early. They are busy with work, so they have postponed it until now.
"
Lu Xue quickly said it didn't matter. Just as the group had sat down, two people walked in.
Mo Shaojie was walking in front, and saw a large table of people in the distance. She curled her lips, finally not being sarcastic. Xu Nan followed her, and when she raised her eyes, she looked shocked.
He didn't expect to see her here... Shao Jie only said that there were guests and her parents asked them to come back for dinner. Since his mind was not here, he didn't ask any more questions.
Unexpectedly, the so-called guest turned out to be her.
Yes, she is Lu Yi's sister. Lu Yi is getting married to Shao An, and it's time for the parents to meet...
He grabbed Shao Jie and hurriedly explained, "I suddenly remembered that I still have some unfinished business at school. I'm going to leave first. Help me tell my parents." He turned around and left.
Mo Shaojie grabbed his sleeve and said angrily: "Xu Nan, what do you mean? You are so unwilling to have a meal with me? You want to run away from the battle."
"No, Shao Jie, I really have something to do." He was very anxious and wanted to run away... He couldn't let her see him, otherwise tonight's meal would be ruined.
There was a lot of movement between the two of them, and Xie Mei soon saw it. She raised her voice and called out, "Shao Jie, what are you hiding there for? If you have any secrets, let's go back. Come over for dinner quickly, I'll be waiting for you."
"
As of now, there is no way to avoid it.
Xu Nan looked pale, and was pulled over by Mo Shaojie as if waiting for the verdict.
He closed his eyes, as if there were thorns all the way ahead, which made him extremely frightened.
It is said that a person's fate is predetermined long ago. No matter how hard you struggle, you can't escape that ending...
There's no escape! He knows!
"I'm sorry, we are back to play. You are welcome to be our guests." This was Mo Shaojie's voice. She was finally not sarcastic tonight.
"There, thank you for recruiting-" Lu Xue raised her head and saw the man with his head lowered at a glance. Even though she hadn't seen him for so many years, she still recognized him at a glance. Then, she couldn't continue what she said.
Chapter completed!
