Two Audi A8Ls, one black and one silver, slowly drove into a high-end community in the western suburbs and parked in the yard of a villa. As soon as the car door opened, many people got out of the car one after another. Xie Huilan, Han
Madam, Xie Jing, Xie Ran, Xia Yanzhen, etc., most of them are the female relatives of the Xie family. Today everyone came here mainly to take a look at the new house where Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebin got married. They are only a day or two away from the wedding.
In the yard.
Xie Huilan got out of the car and said with a smile: "How is the car driving?"
Xie Jing came up and held her sister's hand, and said with a smile: "It's good, thank you, sister."
"You're welcome, haha, as long as you and Xiaoran like it." Xie Huilan said.
"More than just liking it." Xia Yanzhen said with a smile: "My two children just picked up the car yesterday and drove it around in a big circle around Beijing." After patting the side door of the A8, Xia Yanzhen looked at Xie Huilan and said
"Huilan, when you and Xiaobin get married, I will also give you a car." The gift given to her son and daughter by Dong Xuebin and his wife was indeed a bit heavy. After Xia Yanzhen returned, she discussed it with her lover Xie Guoliang.
They all thought it was quite inappropriate, so I thought about buying them something.
Xie Huilan waved her hand and said, "Auntie, please say goodbye. Xiaobin and I have both bought it."
"Buy it?" Xia Yanzhen looked around, "Where's the car?"
Xie Ran said: "My sister and my brother-in-law own a Land Rover and a Porsche."
Xie Jing added: "It needs to be booked in advance. The car hasn't arrived yet, maybe in a few days."
Xie Huilan laughed and said, "The wedding is the day after tomorrow. It seems that we can't have it before the wedding."
Han Jing on the side smiled and said: "Your father has never driven a Land Rover, but it's a good thing that you have driven it first, and you are not afraid of other people's remarks."
Xie Huilan said happily: "My Xiaobin has been driving a Mercedes-Benz Business since he was a grassroots employee. Later he changed to a Cayenne. He is not afraid. What should I be afraid of?"
Han Jing said angrily: "You two are a perfect match. One is better than the other."
"Don't worry." Xie Huilan smoothed her hair, "I try not to turn it on when I'm at work."
"This is your new house?" Han Jing looked at the villa up and down and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."
Xie Huilan explained: "Actually, Xiao Bin bought it for his mother. We are just going to live there when we get married, and we will move out when the time comes, haha."
At this time, the door of the villa opened.
Dong Xuebin strode out, "Hey, aunt, aunt, are all here? Please come in, please come in."
Han Jing looked inside and asked, "Where are your family members?"
"Hi." Dong Xuebin said: "My mother went to buy bed sheets and quilts. She wanted to change to a red set. She just left a while ago."
Xie Huilan looked at him and complained: "My mother has high blood pressure, and you keep making her busy. You and your family are quite secure?"
Dong Xuebin said helplessly: "I tried to persuade her, but my mother refused to listen. She didn't trust me when I told her to buy it."
Han Jing walked into the villa first, "Let's go inside and wait for the in-laws."
Xie Ran looked up and down for a long time, "Brother-in-law, how much does the house here cost?"
Dong Xuebin rubbed his nose and thought for a while, "Oh, I really can't remember clearly. Anyway, one meter is worth tens of thousands, right? There is a discount for a set, about 20 million."
Xie Jing was surprised, "Twenty million?"
Han Jing sighed: "House prices here are not cheap."
Xie Jing blinked, then looked at Xie Huilan with a smile, "Sister, it's me, Brother Dong, who loves you so much. I bought a diamond ring worth 300 million, a car worth millions, and a house worth tens of millions. I bought it right away."
Xie Huilan smiled and said: "This guy is just a nouveau riche. He has nothing but money."
Dong Xuebin complained to Han Jing: "Auntie, did you see it? She started to step on me again. She doesn't know anything else. She takes pleasure in stepping on me all day long. She never leaves her profession, and I obey her.
Already."
Han Jing was amused, "Okay, I'll criticize her later!"
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and looked at Dong Xuebin, "Okay, boy, you have grown up, and you have learned how to sue Sister Xie against you?"
"I'll pour some water for you guys. Sit down quickly." Dong Xuebin snorted as he entered the room, ignored her, and immediately started to gather around, making tea, water, and a fruit plate.
"Brother-in-law, please take a rest, I'll do it." Xie Jing grabbed it.
"No, no, no," Dong Xuebin said, "You guys are watching TV, the remote control is on the sofa."
"Oh, why are you so polite to me?" Xie Jing refused and insisted on helping.
"You're not being polite, just sit on your seat and go quickly." Dong Xuebin refused to let her touch anything and made her sit back down before he started pouring water.
Xia Yanzhen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Xiaobin is from Beijing, right? He grew up in an alley? Haha, you can tell at a glance."
Xie Jing looked at her mother, "You just know that? Didn't you tell me earlier that my brother-in-law is from Beijing?"
Xia Yanzhen shook her head and said: "That's not what I meant by old Beijing. Xiaojing, Xiaoran, just the two of you, in fact, strictly speaking, they are not old Beijing."
Xie Jing said speechlessly: "I was born and raised in Beijing, so who do you think I am?"
Han Jing said with a smile: "What your mother is talking about is the problem of the growing environment. You and Xiaoran were born in Beijing, but you two have never lived in a hutong. You were born in a building, not like the old Beijing ones."
I grew up in such an atmosphere, so neither my accent nor my habits are that strong of Beijing. In fact, Yanzhen and I don’t count either. Among the third generation of our family, Huilan and Xiaobin are the only ones.
In the old Beijing of Bajing, Hui Lan also grew up in a hutong, so she can recognize the accent, and so does Xiao Bin, who is very good at swallowing words when speaking."
Xie Jing chuckled, "That's true, and my brother-in-law is too polite."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Isn't it right to be polite? I'm not out of touch with it, it's mainly because I'm used to it."
Xie Huilan said: "Actually, not counting the two of us, how many old Beijingers are there now? Apart from my grandfather, you can't see many of them, right?"
"That's true. Most of the hutongs in Sijiucheng are now rented to people from other provinces, and the atmosphere is different from before."
While watching TV, we chatted variously. The living room was very lively. In addition, there were red signs with happy words posted on them that morning, and there was a sense of joy everywhere in the house.
…
Half an hour later.
Luan Xiaoping is back.
"Hey, in-laws."
"Are you all here? Sorry, I went to buy some things. I didn't expect you to come so soon."
"We have just arrived, Huilan, why don't you help your mother-in-law get something?"
"No, I will do it by myself while you sit down."
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Han Jing and Luan Xiaoping seemed to have agreed on something in advance and suddenly called Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebin to a bedroom upstairs.
inside the house.
Everyone sat down on the bed. Han Jing took Xie Huilan's hand and looked at the two children with relief. "The wedding is the day after tomorrow. According to the rules, you two can't meet tomorrow, so I'll hurry up and say something today."
Tell me, hehe, Xiaobin, Huilan, I am happy from the bottom of my heart that you two are getting married. Like Xiaoping, I haven't slept well these past two days. It's your business every time I close my eyes.
Bless you, it is not easy for you two to get to where you are today. I believe you know this better than me. Natural disasters, natural disasters, and all kinds of hardships have made you two catch up. I believe that compared to others, you also know what cherishing is, so
Ah, live a good life, strong winds and waves are coming, no matter how young couples quarrel or quarrel in the future, you should also remember this sentence, there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome, and there are no couples who do not quarrel."
Dong Xuebin immediately said: "Aunt, we understand."
Han Jing nodded and patted Dong Xuebin's hand, took Xie Huilan's palm and put it in his palm, "Today, I will leave Huilan to you. Treat her well. I am only such a daughter."
Dong Xuebin immediately expressed his position: "Auntie, don't worry."
Han Jing curled up her lips and said, "You still call me aunt?"
Dong Xuebin blushed and called out softly, embarrassedly: "...Mom."
"Hey." Han Jing smiled broadly, put their hands together and squeezed them, her eyes became red for a moment, as if she was about to shed tears.
Xie Huilan patted the back of her mother's hand and said, "Mom, can you please stop crying? You scare us again, haha."
"I'm happy." Han Jing sniffed quickly, smiled and tilted her head, "My dear, please say a few words."
"Then... let me tell you." Luan Xiaoping heard this and slowly held Xie Huilan's hand, "Huilan, it is his blessing that Xiaobin can marry you. This child has never had anything good since he was a child.
Since his father passed away, he has endured a lot of hardships with me, and he has always blamed me. I always feel that I owe my son something, and I feel sorry for him..."
Dong Xuebin didn't like to hear it and interrupted: "Mom, what are you talking about? I owe you what I owe you. How can there be any reason for parents to owe their children? What can you say to me that you are sorry for? Look at you."
"Let mom finish." Luan Xiaoping moved her body, took Xie Huilan's hand and said: "Huilan, just now your mother handed you over to my son, and now I will hand over my son to you, Xiaobin.
, he acts impulsively and never cares about the consequences, but people are not evil-minded. I know this. You are many years older than him, and you are more sensible and mature than him. From now on, when we live together, you should take more care of him and take care of him in everything.
Just give him some slack, and don't be the same as him if anything happens."
Xie Huilan solemnly said: "Don't worry."
"With you by his side, I feel relieved." Luan Xiaoping looked at her son, "You too, treat Huilan well in the future. If I know you bully her, mom will never forgive you!"
"I know." Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, thinking, "Do I dare to bully her? If she doesn't torment me, I will burn incense!"
"Huilan, you also know my phone number." Luan Xiaoping said: "If this kid does something stupid in the future, tell me and I will deal with him!"
Xie Huilan laughed and said, "Okay, Mom."
"Yeah!" Luan Xiaoping was also very happy to be called "Mama", "Good boy!"
After a long conversation and formal instructions, it really felt like a family.
