The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was more sumptuous than the reunion dinner on New Year's Eve, and a family of eight sat around a red lacquered round table, toasting and saying "peace and joy and all things well".After eating a meal for nearly two hours, I left my seat and went to the living room to sit and watch the Spring Festival Gala.Without the project of setting off fireworks, New Year's flavor always talks about something.But compared to previous years, tonight is much more lively.The old man's physical strength couldn't keep up, so he only watched two sketches and went to rest, and the rest of the people continued to keep the New Year, until eleven or twelve o'clock, and then went back to their rooms.Ning Suyi was destined not to take a full annual leave, and she started working on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, but she was a personal boss and left enough vacation for Liang Sui.Therefore, the human relations during the Spring Festival were handed over to Ning Zongde and Tai Shuying.Only the Jing family, Ning Suyi must not be absent.Mrs.
Jing treated her as her own granddaughter, and she naturally couldn't miss the number of New Year's festivals, so she set the time in advance, she pushed off the work arrangement, and accompanied her parents to a trip to the well house.At noon that day, in addition to their family, another family also came to visit the old lady.This is a normal phenomenon, and for a period of time before the Lantern Festival, families in the circle come and go frequently, and they often happen to rush together.Today is the two elders of the Qin family who brought their daughter Qin Xiaoxi to pay New Year's greetings, and the Qin family and the Ning family have dealt with each other and know each other well.The three families gathered together and chatted peacefully, and the atmosphere was like a warm spring day.Sooner or later, Jing knew that Ning Suyi was coming, so he didn't go out with his father Jing Congxian to pay New Year's greetings elsewhere, and waited for her at home.Ever since Ning Suyi entered the door, his eyes had been fixed on her.She wore a black and white plaid cashmere coat with a cream-colored woolen skirt and a light brown belt around her waist.She sat beside Tai Shuying demurely, with a shallow smile on her lips, and greeted the old lady's physical condition first.The old lady always loved her, and immediately beckoned her to sit beside her, held her hand, whispered a few words about the situation, and then chatted with the others."
Minhye, what's your daughter's name, I remember it's a smile?""
It's Xiaoxiao, Grandma."
Qin Xiaoyan took over the conversation by herself, stretched out her palm, and wrote the last word of her name with her index finger in the palm of her hand, "Next to the female character, add a 'smile' to the 'rong'." ”"Oh, does that mean anything?""
It doesn't mean much, that word is purely for the name of the girl, my mother is opportunistic."
Mrs.
Jing laughed, listened to the crisp and pleasant voice, and looked at her body and face again, and was very satisfied.Qin Xiaoyan was told by her mother in advance of another purpose for coming over today, and her eyes unconsciously glanced at Jing Chi, who was sitting on the single sofa.Except for the polite greetings at the beginning, he looked at the old lady silently the rest of the time.The indoor heating is sufficient, and he only wears a thin woolen sweater, which can't hide his noble and unparalleled temperament.It just so happened that the old lady noticed that Jing Chi was too quiet, and she didn't know what to do, so she suddenly sent him a task: "Xiao Chi, Miss Qin said the day before yesterday that she was looking for a few books, you take her upstairs to the study to see if there are any books she wants." ”Jing Chi was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously blurted out: "Let Aunt Qiong take her to ......"
"What stupid things are you talking about, Aunt Qiong is preparing food in the kitchen, I see that you have nothing to do, it is better to entertain you personally." ”Jing Chi was helpless to the extreme, but he didn't refute the old lady's intentions, he bowed his head slightly, and looked at the Miss Qin: "Let's go, I'll take you to find it." ”He was really puzzled in his heart, the old lady was at home all day long, where did he know that Miss Qin was looking for a book?
Qin Xiaoxiao smiled, got up and followed him upstairs.The footsteps of the two gradually faded away, and the old lady Jing retracted her gaze, turned her head to Ning Suyi and said, "Crispy, do you think the two of you are not a good match when they stand together?"
”Ning Suyi didn't react for a while, and let out an "ah" in confusion.Mrs.
Jing looked at the Qin family couple sitting opposite, covered her mouth and said with a smile: "In the past, your sister Shi Hua looked for a lot of objects for this stinky boy, but he didn't want to contact any of them, and he didn't even want to add other people's WeChat.I was afraid that he would refuse again this time, so I didn't tell him about it, and I wanted the two to try to get along first.didn't put the blind date on the surface, he shouldn't resist. ”Ning Suyi suddenly realized, it turned out that the old lady intended to let Qin Xiaoyan and Jing Chi go on a blind date, using the "New Year's greetings" as a cover, and their family also came over, so it would not be embarrassing.The Qin family and his wife followed with a smile and a "insider" expression.Mrs.
Qin said softly: "Before leaving, I told Xiao Yan that Quan is here to pay New Year's greetings today, let her not be restrained, if she thinks Xiao Chi is good, try to make a friend first." ”Mrs.
Jing patted her leg: "You told Xiao Yan in advance." ”"I wanted to hide it from her, but she was shrewd, and when she heard me tell her to dress up, she guessed."
Mrs.
Qin was a little speechless, "What do you say about the children now, one or two mentioning a blind date is like dying." ”Mrs.
Jing felt the same way.Ning Suyi held the teacup in his hand and took a sip of tea, lest the topic would shift to him in the next second, and stage a drama of "urging marriage" on the spot.Fortunately, Jing Chi and Qin Xiaoyan are the protagonists today, and several elders discussed around the two of them, bringing them together from all aspects to the word "general match".For example, Qin Xiaoyan studied oil painting, and she is already well-known in the circle, having opened art exhibitions and held auctions.Although Jing Chi founded a venture capital company, he was interested in art as a child.He set up his own studio, and often painted in it, not letting anyone in, and even doing the cleaning himself.If the two are together in the future, they won't have anything to talk about.When it comes, I have to ask the opinions of others.The old lady picked up the question again and asked Ning Suyi, "What do you think of the crispy?"
”Ning Suyi reluctantly lifted the corners of his lips and responded: "It's good, it's a good match." ”Mrs.
Jing looked at her, patted the back of her hand gently, and said lovingly: "We should also think about lifelong events as soon as possible, and find a caring person to take care of ourselves." ”Ning Su intended to coax the old man to be happy, and smiled sincerely.There was a sound of footsteps behind her, she turned around, Jing Chi walked down the stairs with an expressionless face, and behind him was the young lady Qin, who was really holding a few old and yellowed books in her arms.Jing Chi sat back on the single sofa, his eyes stared straight at Ning Suyi, staring at her so uncomfortably that he had to turn his gaze away and look at the round yellow oranges in the fruit bowl.In the next second, the top orange was taken away by a bony hand.Ning Suyi went up along the wrist bone and glanced at the owner of the hand, who else could it be besides Jing Chi.He didn't use a fruit knife, he peeled open the thick orange peel with his bare hands, and the splash of light yellow juice stained his fingertips, and in a few moments, he peeled a whole orange.He hung his head, revealing a white back of his neck, and patiently tore off the white veins on it.Oranges are more white than oranges, and it is difficult to tear them clean.Jing Chi was extremely patient, peeled the orange out of the feeling of a handicraft, and then stood up, bypassed the armrest of the sofa on Ning Suyi's side, threw the orange into her hand, and went to the kitchen to wash her hands.Ning Suyi was caught off guard, and there was a smooth orange in his arms, the flesh was full, and it was sweet and juicy that could be imagined before he could eat it.The voice of conversation in the main hall was a little quieter, probably because he saw Jing Chi's actions.The people of the Jing family and the Ning family are used to seeing each other, but they feel that they are normal, and in the face of the curious eyes of the Qin family, the old lady can't help but mutter: These two children have a good relationship with each other, and they are the same as sisters and brothers.Ning Suyi silently broke off a petal of orange and stuffed it into his mouth, it was really sweet.Jing Chi washed his hands and came back, and sat there to continue to play the role of "silent wooden man", listening to the elders without saying a word.At half past twelve, Aunt Qiong went to the main hall to inform her that it was time to eat.Mrs.
Jing stopped the conversation and beckoned everyone to the dining room for dinner.Everyone went to the kitchen to wash their hands first, and Ning Su was a little crowded, so he went to the bathroom on the first floor.After breaking the faucet and letting it sit for a while, when the hot water came out, she reached over and pressed two pumps of hand sanitizer, lathered up, and rinsed it off with water.Suddenly, a shadow hit the open door, blocking some of the light outside.Ning Suyi paused, raised his eyes to look at him, consciously gave up his position, and prepared to go out: "I've washed it." ”She thought Jing Chi had come to use the bathroom.Unbeknownst to her, she was about to take a step, but Jing Chi stretched out his arm to support the door frame and block her way.Ning Suyi's footsteps stopped, and he tilted his head slightly to look at the tall and slender body in front of him, there was no way to pick it up if he was unhappy like he did when he was a child.She calmly exclaimed, "What is this for?"
”Jing Chi: "As you said, Miss Qin and I are very good, quite a good match." ”He deliberately bit the last two words, gritted his teeth in anger, and maintained three points of peace on his face, for fear of showing a bad temper and scaring her.Ning Suyi was inexplicably innocent, and took a step back: "You are so interesting, and I didn't let you go on a blind date, you are not willing to go to grandma, what's the use of looking for me." ”She took a step back, and he stepped forward and encircled her in a corner.Ning Suyi was nervous at this time, and reached out to his chest to stop him from taking a step closer: "What are you doing, let people see what it looks like." ”Now she can't control him anymore when she uses it as a sister, and she only hopes that he can be a little more conscious.No matter how closely Jing Chi looked, she couldn't see the slightest trace of food on her face, and snorted lightly: "What does it look like, like a sister and brother, the old lady said it herself." ”The old lady listened to his remarks in the ward at that time, and the old lady no longer joked about him and Ning Suyi casually, and called them "brothers and sisters" when she opened and closed her mouth, which simply poked him in the heart.Ning Suyi couldn't hold him, so he retreated and reasoned with him: "Then what are you blocking me now?"
Blame me for taking my grandmother's words?
She said that, what do you want me to do?
Besides, the uncles and aunts of the Qin family were present. ”Jing Chi lowered his head, looked at her face, and whispered: "Just don't push me out, what blind date is not what I mean." ”Ning Suyi tilted his head: "I know." ”"When the time is gone, I'll explain it to grandma.""
Explain what?""
Don't worry, I won't give you up."
Jing Chi said seriously.Where did he dare to let the elders know, lest they put pressure on Ning Suyi and make her more anxious, that was not what he wanted.Even if it made her feel the slightest discomfort, he was reluctant.The two returned to the dining room and sat down, Ning Suyi raised her head slightly, and saw that on the chest of Jing Chi's dark gray woolen sweater, there were two damp palm prints of a darker color, which were the traces that she had just pressed on her hands.Ning Suyi's face suddenly became hot, and he didn't dare to look at it again.
——After sitting idle for a while after dinner, Ning Suyi got up and followed his parents to say goodbye to the old lady, and the Qin family was not good to stay any longer, so they left the Jing family together.As soon as they left, Jing Chi came to the old lady and had something to say to him.The old lady wanted to take a nap, but when she saw that he looked serious, she suppressed her sleepiness for the time being, and asked him to say in the living room, and it just so happened that she also had two words to ask him.Jing Chi guessed what her old man was going to ask, it was nothing more than a question that he was not interested in because he was not satisfied with Miss Qin, whether she could try to develop a relationship or something.He put the words out first, stopping the old lady's unrealistic calculations: "I have no intention of Miss Qin, and even more so Miss Zhang and Miss Lin, you don't need to Zhang Luo for me anymore, I have someone in my heart." ”When he said the previous words, Mrs.
Jing was still slightly dissatisfied, until she heard the latter sentence, her face changed instantly: "Do you have a favorite girl?"
Which one?
”Jing Chi sighed and said, "You know that girl, but I can't tell you now."
I'm still chasing others, and I'm not sure if I can catch up, I'm afraid that I will make you happy. ”The old lady was even more surprised, and her eyes were more radiant than usual: "And the girl you can't catch up?"
What kind of husband does she want to choose?
”"Don't say such things, I'm not worthy of her."
Jing Chi said, "You often use the term 'rich flowers in the world' to describe those beautiful girls, then she is the Bodhisattva in heaven, and I have to work hard to get it." ”Others don't know, Jing Chi knows very well, that "Bodhisattva" has compassion in his heart, and he has too many people in his heart, and he barely has a place, far from being qualified to make her fall to the earth.The old lady saw that his eyebrows and eyes showed a little loneliness, and immediately felt a little sympathy, patted his chest with him and promised that she would never interfere again in the future.She thought that the well was still floating like catkins at this age, and there was no landing.Which Cheng thought, he had already pretended to be someone in his heart, not to mention whether he could catch up or not, if he could have this thought, she would feel a lot more at ease.------ digression------ Xiaochi hid in the corner and cried: Sister is so calm, won't she be jealous......
