Chapter 274 Showing off(2/3)
However, as soon as she arrived at the kitchen, she happened to meet Su Wenmei carrying a large bowl of soup. She couldn't dodge and a large bowl of soup fell to the ground immediately, and meat balls, mushrooms, etc. were scattered all over the floor.
Fortunately, the soup has been brewing for a long time and it is not very hot at this time. But even so, Sixin, wearing flip-flops, still had a large piece of red on her feet.
"Why don't you have eyes when walking?" Su Wenmei immediately jumped to the side with one foot, raised her burnt feet and shouted: "Sister Zhang, hurry up and take out the scald cream."
Such a big noise in the restaurant immediately alarmed the men still chatting in the living room. They stopped talking about the topics and walked over quickly.
"What's going on?" Xiao Zhenhai frowned tightly and asked Su Wenmei, who was in pain holding her feet.
"I just served the dishes in the kitchen, but I didn't expect Sixin to suddenly run to the kitchen door... I was holding the soup bowl in my hand and couldn't dodge..."
When everyone heard Su Wenmei say it, they looked at the kitchen door. At this time, Sixin had already cleaned up with a broom and a mop, and her insteps wearing flip-flops were red.
"Are you okay?" Xiao Yichen hurried over and reached out to take the broom from her hand: "I'll do it, Mrs. Zhang comes with scalding ointment, and you can wipe it too."
"No, it's a little red, it's not very hot." As soon as Sixin finished speaking, Su Wenmei, who was applying scalding cream, shouted in pain.
Xiao Zhenhai immediately said with a cold face: "Si Xin wore flip flops, and her instep was red, but she said it was not very hot. You were wearing slippers that could cover the entire instep. The instep was not very red. Is it so hot?"
The incident of a bowl of soup was caused by Xiao Zhenhai's words. Su Wenmei, who was originally in shocking pain, finally closed her mouth, and the incident soon passed.
Everyone sat down at the dining table one after another. The atmosphere in the restaurant was very good. Adults were easily noticed by children. Tianyou's learning naturally became the target of everyone's attention.
Xiao Zhenhai sat opposite Xiao Yichen, perhaps because he learned tonight that she was a student of Bai Shijiu, perhaps because she gave her the box of Cao Sugong's old mo, or perhaps because her feet were burned just now, she was not screaming.
In short, Xiao Zhenhai, chairman of Changhe Group, was lucky enough to be in a daze tonight. Even when Xia Zhijian asked him what to drink with, he answered casually with the word "careless", looking very worried.
Sixin naturally knew that Xiao Zhenhai was looking at her, so she immediately smiled politely.
But Xiao Zhenhai turned his eyes and talked to Xia Zhijian and Wan Mingquan beside him.
Xiao Yichen held Sixin's hand with his hand and looked at her side. The look in her eyes made her feel relieved that she would pass through tonight smoothly.
Sixin couldn't help but remember the situation when she first came to Xiao Yichen's family with Xiao Yichen last year. At that time, except for Su Wenmei, the Xiao family seemed to have accepted her. At that time, Xiao Yichen's younger brother Xiao Zhongshi also gave her a gift.
Thinking of Xiao Zhongshi, she remembered that she didn't seem to have seen Xiao Zhongshi tonight.
"Yichen, don't you say your adoptive father is coming? Why haven't you arrived yet?" Xia Zhijian suddenly asked.
"The adoptive father just sent a text message saying that the car had a breakdown on the road and probably couldn't get there tonight, so he told us not to wait for him to have dinner." Xiao Yichen said truthfully.
"Oh," Xia Zhijian responded, while Xiao Tiemei turned around: "Are you back from dancing with mom? Why are you still coming out?"
"Mom said that dancing is hot and she is sweating all over. She probably has to take a shower and change her clothes before she comes out..." Before Su Wenmei finished speaking, footsteps sounded behind her.
Everyone turned around and the old lady was already wearing a red Tang suit and was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes. Her outfit looked like a parent who had a happy event at home in ancient times.
Her red clothes, gray hair, and her face turned hot after dancing. The old lady looked several years younger than usual.
Cai Xiaoqing smiled and said, "I haven't seen my aunt for a few months. I'm several years younger."
The old lady said happily: "When people are in a happy event, they are in a good mood, so they will naturally become younger, right?"
Wan Tianyou immediately shouted respectfully: "Auntie."
Wan Guofang responded happily, walked over and touched Wan Tianyou's head, and swept his eyes to the dining table while walking towards the main seat.
When he met Sixin's eyes, the old lady immediately smiled and shouted: "Xin girl, you are finally back."
One sentence shows the old lady's love for Qiao Sixin, and Su Wenmei's face immediately sank. She has been in the Xiao family for more than 20 years, but the old lady has never treated her so well.
Sixin immediately stood up and shouted respectfully: "Lady Xiao."
"Hey, what old lady? I'm so disgusted?" Mrs. Xiao waved her hand: "I'll call her grandma from now on!"
Sixin hesitated for a moment: "Yes, Grandma Xiao!"
"Girl Xin, are you trying to oppose me on purpose?" Old Mrs. Xiao glared at Sixin unhappily.
Xiao Tiemei quickly smoothed out the situation: "Mom, Sixin and Yichen are not married yet."
"Oh," Mrs. Xiao came to her senses, then stared at Xiao Yichen and glared: "Then why didn't you arrange the marriage earlier?"
"Cough cough," Xiao Zhenhai immediately coughed twice, looked at his mother who was too excited, and couldn't help but whisper: "Mom, isn't Yichen sick? No matter how he had to cure his adopted father before he could marry Sixin, right? Otherwise, wouldn't it delay Sixin?"
What Xiao Zhenhai said means that it is said that Xiao Yichen is sick, and Xu Yurou broke up her engagement with Xiao Yichen because Xiao Yichen is sick.
It’s nothing to get married in a hurry. People from the outside world praise Qiao Sixin for being affectionate and loyal, but once Qiao Sixin becomes pregnant, wouldn’t it be that the outside world says that Xiao Yichen’s illness is pretending.
In fact, the Xiao family also knew that Xiao Yichen was pretending to be sick, but since he had pretended to be like this, he naturally had to pretend to be a little bit like that and not to give others a sarcasm.
Although the old lady was anxious to get married early, after hearing what her son said, she immediately remembered that she was still involved with the Xu family, so she didn't say anything else.
"Then, it's okay to get engaged first, right?" the old lady asked tentatively.
"It's definitely OK to get engaged," Xiao Tiemei took the conversation: "Mom, my brother means to get Yichen and Sixin engaged first, and then ask Zhang Guoliang to find an expert to treat Yichen. How can he cure the disease for three or five months? It will be almost cured."
Xiao Zhenhai immediately glared at his sister. When did he have this meaning?
Xiao Tiemei completely ignored Xiao Zhenhai's warning glance, turned to her nephew with a smile, and said to her nephew: "Yichen, you married Sixin last year, and there was no wedding ceremony or anything else. This time, you can't be wronged by Sixin anymore."
"Of course!" Xiao Yichen replied with a smile: "So, I am planning to entrust my aunt to you about my engagement with Sixin. Sixin's father's ideological work will probably be entrusted to my aunt and uncle."
"Hahaha," Cai Xiaoqing laughed out loud, and looked at Xiao Tiemei with a blushing face and jokingly said, "Look, my aunt is not that easy, right?"
This time, aunt Xiao Tiemei's face did not blush anymore, but Sixin's face turned red.
She didn't expect that except for Xiao Zhenhai, the Xiao family's face was not so good-looking, Su Wenmei's face was also cold, and everyone else was very welcome to her.
Such a situation is naturally much better than she expected.
"Eat, eat first and then chat!" Xiao Zhenhai greeted everyone: "If you keep talking like this, the food will be cold."
Xiao Yichen put Duan Baiyu into Sixin's bowl and said softly: "This Baiyu has a good taste. If you try it, the chef's level at home is no worse than the ones in the big hotel outside."
Sixin nodded, and she naturally knew that the chef of the Xiao family was no worse than the cooking skills of the big hotel outside. After all, she followed Xiao Yichen back to the Xiao family compound so many times last year.
The sea bass was indeed delicious, but she drank too much soy sauce when she ate it. A piece of sea bass meat was put in her mouth, but the soy sauce was full of her mouth.
Xiao Yichen immediately took a tissue, but instead of handing it to her, she wiped it directly on her mouth. She was skillful and natural, and she didn't feel so intimate like this in public.
The person who was originally eating in the restaurant laughed when they saw the interaction between them, but Sixin's face turned red in an instant, so she quickly grabbed the tissue and wiped it on her own.
After dinner, everyone moved their positions and went to the living room again.
Unlike other people's emphasis on eating fruits after meals, the Xiao family emphasizes eating fruits half an hour before meals, while after meals, they mainly drink tea.
Sixin really doesn’t know how to make tea, which is artistic. Although her father also likes to drink tea, she believes that the tea her father drinks cannot be compared with the Xiao family at all.
What's more, when my father drinks tea, he usually puts some tea leaves in a cup and pours boiling water in it.
The Xiao family’s tea making is obviously not that simple. The complex process is probably comparable to the tea art restaurant.
"Sixin, are you drinking coffee or tea?" Su Wenmei, who brought a pot of tea, suddenly asked.
"I'm just like everyone else, just drink tea," Sixin answered quickly, looking at Su Wenmei's eyes calmly and naturally.
"Oh, I thought you've only been back from the UK for three months, and probably haven't gotten used to drinking tea," Su Wenmei said with a smile: "Actually, making coffee is very fast. Just treat this place as your own home. Don't be polite."
"I have only been to the UK for three months and haven't developed the habit of drinking coffee yet." Sixin replied lightly.
Old Mrs. Xiao continued on the side: "You think everyone is like Shanshan's girl. She has never stayed in school and traveled abroad when she has nothing to do. As a result, she seems to have grown up abroad since she was a child. She sees Tian'er's coffee and doesn't drink instant coffee. She is more than Yichen, who has returned from studying abroad for a few years."
Su Wenmei didn't expect that the old lady suddenly mentioned the niece who had grown up by her side since childhood. Her face was a little uneasy, and she was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to do.
"Tianyou, you accompany Sister Sixin to the community to stroll. The pure water shore at night is also very beautiful." Cai Xiaoqing immediately instructed her eight-year-old son.
Sixin stood up immediately. She had already seen that the Xiao family would probably have to discuss her marriage with Xiao Yichen.
Seeing Sixin get up, Xiao Yichen also got up and said to her with a smile: "It's really good to say that this pure waterfront is quite large. I haven't taken you around before. If I take you around today, the scenery here will not be worse than those tourist attractions."
"Yichen, stay," Xiao Tiemei smiled and said to Xiao Yichen: "Tianyou is only eight years old, don't worry, he can't dig your corner."
Sixin's face turned slightly red, and she quickly said to Xiao Yichen: "It's okay, I'll go around the community with Tianyou."
Xiao Yichen nodded, gave Tianyou a few more words, and then let Sixin and Tianyou go out.
....
Pure Waterfront is built in three phases. The first and second phases are interconnected. The first and second phases are just a year away from the check-in time of the owners of the first and second phases.
The third phase was built two or three years later. Because it was a townhouse, it was separated from the first and second phases, and there was only a small door in the middle that could be passed through.
So Tianyou took Sixin and just wandered between the first and second phases.
Although there are only one period and two periods, it is still very large. There is no obvious boundary between the first period and the second period. Tianyou is a child again, so he naturally drags Sixin around.
"Yelaixiang is blooming well over there. Sister Sixin, you must like flowers very much. I'll take you to see it. Yelaixiang is on the lakeside, so beautiful."
Tianyou said to Sixin excitedly, holding Sixin's hand, unconsciously crossing the arch bridge during the first and second periods, and naturally entering the second period from the first period.
The first phase is full of double-screen villas, which is different from the second phase. The layout of attractions here is also quite different from the second phase. Even the lakes are not as big as the second phase.
People who live in villas, however, compared with the second phase of the single-family house, the occupancy rate of the double-pin villa is significantly higher. In the first phase, people in the yards on both sides are chatting through the doorway.
Because they are all villa communities, there are few people coming and going on weekdays, and Tianyou is a child, so even if someone sees them, no one pays too much attention to them when they walk outside.
After turning around, he saw the lake in the community. Tianyou shouted excitedly: "Look, Ye Lai Xiang is there, it's already blooming, it smells so good."
Sixin looked up and saw white night fragrance blooming. From afar, the fragrance came to her nose, and in the night breeze, it looked particularly faintly.
Sixin was pulled by Tianyou and walked towards Ye Laixiang naturally. Tianyou said excitedly: "Let's go, there are many in front, and there are hanging baskets in front. Can we go swing? Sister Sixin, wait for you to sit on, I'll push you."
Sixin quickly said, "How can that work? You are a child, so I should push you."
