Chapter 19 Chapter Eighteen

He Jianguo decided to ask Xiaoxi to go home again.This decision was made after having dinner with Gu Xiaohang that night.From Gu Xiaohang's mouth, he learned that the Gu family didn't make arrangements for his brother because they didn't want to arrange it, but they did have their difficulties. That is to say, at least on this issue, he misunderstood Xiaoxi.Lying alone on the large double bed at night, he calmly reflected, and once again thought of the future that he could not grasp and predict, he made up his mind to invite Xiaoxi back.Otherwise, feel uneasy.First, he called Xiaoxi.But Xiaoxi said it's better to let your brother go back to live, at least after this period of winter and spring; she doesn't have no place to live in Beijing, as long as she understands his heart, just like he understands hers.His attitude didn't look like he was angry, but very sincere, which made him wonder what the change was for.

The direct reason for the change was that when He Jianguo called, Xiaoxi had just come out of the maternity hospital and was in a very special state of mind. The reason why Xiaoxi didn't want to go to the mother's hospital but went to the maternity hospital was because the people in the mother's hospital knew her, and she was afraid that they would hide it from her in order to comfort her.Reminded by what Jian Jia told her that day, she decided to go to the maternity hospital for an examination.I called in advance to make an appointment, and signed up for an expert number of 100 yuan. This procedure was also heard from Jian Jia, and Jian Jia heard it from He Jianguo.Holding the expert number and walking towards the expert consultation room, Xiaoxi was full of bitter self-mockery and desolation.Ordinarily, when the wife is sick, the husband should take the initiative to accompany her, but the two of them use this way of seeing a doctor.Moreover, the husband sees a doctor for his wife not for his wife's sake, but to decide his own future.After listening to Jian Jia's heart-to-heart advice that day, this thought was deeply rooted in Xiaoxi's heart, like a thorn, which hurts if she can't move it.She pressed the button and tried her best to think for He Jianguo from He Jianguo's point of view: He came from the countryside, and the countryside has a deep-rooted cultural tradition in the countryside.Having no descendants is the top priority in the countryside, and He Jianguo's filial piety to his parents is objectively an advantage. ... The seven or eight years of married life has made Xiaoxi mature a lot.The requirement for love when you are young is that it is as pure as distilled water, without any impurities.Now think about it, where is it possible?All love is the result of the balance of various internal and external conditions.Let’s talk about He Jianguo, if he becomes a migrant worker now, earns a few hundred dollars a month and is less than one thousand, and is covered in stinky sweat every day—He Jiancheng has that smell on his body, and as soon as he enters the house, the whole house is full of that smell— —Can she still love him?Certainly not.If you are a layman yourself, you cannot ask others to be saints.

The attitude of the experts disappointed her.All she wants from an expert is a "yes" or "no" before deciding whether she should go or stay.The expert didn’t say yes or no, and she was bothered by her urgent question in the end—fortunately, it was a special-needs expert account worth 100 yuan. If she had registered an ordinary expert account worth 14 yuan, she would not have asked the expert at all. Time for so many questions—tell her, Doctor, that the better the doctor, the less likely he is to say yes or no to you.If she wanted to find someone who would give affirmative answers and even cure all diseases, she could go to the small advertisements on the street.

Coming out of the obstetrics hospital, Xiaoxi was at a loss.He Jianguo's phone call came in at this time, sincerely asking her to go home, and thanking and apologizing for his brother's work arrangements.Very polite and sensible.Perhaps, like her, he had also matured in marriage.Then she said the above-mentioned words to him in the same manner.In fact, there is nothing wrong with her living in her parents' house. In terms of conditions, it is better than her own home. At least there is a cafeteria. When she doesn't want to cook, she can still cook.Her reluctance to live with her parents is just a psychological problem, and she feels that she is not valued by her husband.Now that the two sides have discussed this issue, that is to say, the psychological problem has been resolved, so let's find out what is beneficial to everyone.

When she got home, she didn't expect He Jianguo to be waiting for her at home, chatting passionately with her father.Seeing Xiaoxi coming back, Xiaoxi's father immediately said to Xiaoxi, pack up your things and go back. Jianguo is so busy with work, he even came to pick you up in person.He Jianguo didn't speak, just nodded with a smile, confirming and strengthening what Xiaoxi's father said.This move surprised and moved Xiaoxi.She knows that he is very busy now. It is said that if you go to the company to find him now, you have to make an appointment in advance. If you don't make an appointment, you don't want to see him. It is bigger than her mother's schedule in the hospital.Xiaoxi asked him what would his brother do when she went back?He Jianguo didn't say what his brother would do, but only said that he hoped Xiaoxi would go home, and Xiaoxi's father was also persuading her.Xiaoxi took a deep breath, and went into the house to pack her things.This time, the quarrel with He Jianguo was bigger and lasted longer, and I brought back a lot of things, so it was more troublesome to clean up.After half of the packing, it was time to cook, so I put down what I was doing and went to the kitchen to get a lunch box to cook.He Jianguo wanted to cook, but Xiaoxi's father would not let him say anything. It was not like before, when He Jianguo rolled up his sleeves and started cooking, the whole family felt it was natural.Xiaoxi felt sad, thinking that because she didn't handle this relationship well, her family members, including the father who liked He Jianguo the most, had some ties with He Jianguo.

When Xiaoxi was about to go out with his lunch box, Xiaohang came back.Xiaoxi is grateful for why her younger brother built or said everything he did for her, so after Xiaohang lost his job, Xiaoxi was more anxious than everyone else. A career is the foundation of a man's life. What Dad said is a universally applicable truth.He told Jian Jia that he wanted to marry someone else. To get married, you have to have the capital to get married. You can't let your wife take care of you after you get married!But she knew that Xiaohang must know this, and she didn't want to put too much pressure on him, so she couldn't help but say nothing, so she turned a corner and said, "You don't have to go to work, why are you working around outside all day long? You're only coming back at this time Xiao Xia is gone, you can do housekeeping honestly if you have nothing to do, so you don’t have to eat at home.”

Xiao Hangdao: "I do housekeeping, who of you can afford my monthly salary of 12,000?" Xiaoxi's father asked with concern: "How is the interview going?" Xiao Hangdao: "I don't know if I don't look at it. I was shocked when I saw it, and then I realized that the outside world is so vast!" Xiaoxi said: "Come on, don't slap your face and pretend to be fat. In our country, there is no shortage of people!" Xiaohang said: "But, there is a shortage of talents!" He Jianguo asked with concern: "Is it settled?" Xiaohang waved his hand: "Choosing."

Xiao Xi said, "Hey, it's still a hot item!" At this moment, Xiaoxi's father asked, "What's Jian Jia's attitude towards this matter?" Xiaohang said provocatively: "She doesn't care!" Xiaoxi's father snorted: "'It doesn't matter'? I don't believe she really doesn't care. Let me tell you Xiaohang, no woman will love for a long time a jobless man who only chases after women..." Xiao Hang said seriously: "Dad, I told you, before you change your mind, please don't talk about Jian Jia with me!" The atmosphere became tense all of a sudden, Xiaoxi hurriedly stuffed the lunch box to Xiaohang: "Go get some food! I have to pack my things!" Pushing him out.

Xiaohang went to make dinner, Xiaoxi continued to pack things.When Xiaoxi's mother came back from get off work, she was a little surprised to see He Jianguo, so she greeted him lightly, changed her shoes and washed her hands without even asking, "Why are you here?"or "what's the matter"?Just put He Jianguo aside like that, let him have a big smile on his face, and didn't even look at it.Xiaoxi's father felt a little sorry, followed him to the bathroom and said, "Jianguo is here to pick up Xiaoxi." Xiaoxi's mother said "Oh" and washed her hands.Xiaoxi's father went out of the bathroom again, and said loudly to Jianguo, "Jianguo, let's have a makeshift meal together tonight. I'm preparing my speech at the seminar, so I don't have time to cook."

When Xiaohang came back from lunch, he said as soon as he entered the door: "Dad, we still have to hurry up about hiring a babysitter." Xiaoxi's father said: "I don't know what to do - this nanny is very difficult to hire! I have contacted the housekeeping company several times, and there are only girls in their twenties." Xiaoxi said in the room: "Little girl can't do it. It's not easy to feel at ease if you're not sensible." Xiaoxi's father said: "Old people are not necessarily good. The nanny at Professor Xu's house upstairs is not young, she is in her forties, and she is not sensible. I love meat, so I wish I could eat braised pork. After eating so much, Xu's blood lipids are rising..."

Xiao Hang and He Jianguo set meals on the table, Xiao Hang said: "Brother-in-law, can you invite Xiao Xia back?" Xiaoxi's father said: "At this time, I remembered that Xiaoxia came!... Xiaohang, don't think that you are the only one who is talented. There are talents in every profession, and Xiaoxia is the talent in her profession!" "Is Xiao Xia blaming me?" Xiao Hang said, "Yes, it's me. But you can't just blame me. Everyone has a share." What he said was the truth.So they kept silent.He Jianguo hurriedly said: "It's all a misunderstanding, just explain it clearly. Let me call and talk to our family." Xiaoxi's mother came out of the bathroom, and said calmly: "You don't have to force it. If you can do it, you can do it. If you can't do it, you can't do it." He Jianguo was angry again, but he held back and said nothing.After dinner that day, after the couple left, Xiaoxi's mother said that He Jianguo might ask Xiaoxi for something else.Xiaoxi's father criticized her as prejudice.Xiaoxi's mother didn't say anything, the expression on her face was: wait and see. The director of the distribution department is here.Liu Kairui is very satisfied with their planning plan, and is now discussing the implementation details.The most important detail of all the details is to invite the famous people to be invited.The size of the conference and the size of the publicity all depend on the quality and quantity of the celebrities present.The director of the distribution department came to Gu Xiaoxi and asked her to ask He Jianguo to invite a company leader from the Tongzhong company where He Jianguo works, and the president would be the best.Gu Xiaoxi called He Jianguo immediately, but there was no one in the office, and no one answered the phone, so he told the director of the distribution department that Tongzhong Company was fine, since so many celebrities had agreed to come, it would not be a big problem if one less family came.If the director of the distribution department quits, he must do what he says to be perfect. Tongzhong is a large multinational company with great influence.After a little thought, he said, "Continue to contact your husband. It's best if the president of the company can come, but at worst, your husband will come!" Xiao Xi called out, "What's his job! He's just a technical director—" "The important thing is , the platform behind him! He may be in a meeting and it is not convenient to answer the phone, you send him a text message and tell him that this is your father's book, he must come to cheer!" During this period, Jian Jia has been answering the phone: "...We haven't started inviting the media yet, don't worry, I will be the first to invite you." After hanging up the phone, she said to the director of the distribution department: "Director, when shall we notify the media? ?” "We have to be cautious about this. This time our seminar is a limited edition, and the number of media coming is limited. Therefore, we must be considerate in every aspect of who is invited and who is not invited. Otherwise, people will be offended. Think about it, reporters. Where can I find such an opportunity to meet so many celebrities and so many rich people all at once?" Xiaoxi asked carefully: "The more the better, anyone can do it, can't you?" The director of the publishing department cut it off and said: "No! People determine the grade. The more the better, whoever comes, what is the result? A mixed bag of fish and dragons. When the fish come, the dragon will be unhappy. If the dragon is not happy, what is the use of having more fish? Just for a moment I was thinking, should we choose one of the most influential media outlets and have an exclusive news?” After the director of the distribution department left, Xiaoxi was immersed in unexpected joy.The unexpected joy is that she never thought that He Jianguo could be among the celebrities.The director of the distribution department has a wide range of information and the ability to make comparisons. He is an authority in this regard.Immediately, I felt admiration and awe for He Jianguo. Jian Jia grinned and said, "Xiaoxi, aren't you proud to be the leader of Jianguo?" "Yes! Think I'm vulgar?" "Vulgar." Xiaoxi said happily: "Hey, we are vulgar, we just hope that my husband will rise to the top step by step, and the husband and wife will be crowned as a wife and son! One day, the first thing I will do is-" asked Jian Jia , "Guess what?" "Buy a house?...Buy a Mercedes-Benz?...Buy a diamond?" Xiaoxi shook her head in unison.Jian Jia smiled: "Isn't it possible to buy two bowls of soy milk and drink one bowl instead?" "You, it seems that I can only be an editor for a writer in this life, but I can't be a writer. I don't have the imagination of a writer at all, and I don't have the imagination rooted in life-tell you, if I have such a day, I will be a writer. The first thing I did was to resign! After that, I slept until I woke up naturally every day, and went abroad for vacation every year..." "Give him a lot of children! One in Switzerland, one in the United States, one in France, yes, and Italy, whoever is born in that country will be a citizen of that country, and then your family will be a United Nations..." Xiaoxi suddenly found that he was not in the right mood. , and suddenly realized his mistake, "I'm sorry, Xiaoxi!" Xiao Xiqiang smiled and said nothing. When he came home from get off work at night, He Jianguo hadn't come back yet, so Xiaoxi went into the kitchen to cook.While He Jianguo was happy about being promoted, she suddenly felt a crisis.I have to restrain myself, and can no longer be as willful as before, otherwise, her marriage prospects are really bad, so I decided to be strict with myself.For example, today, she has been busy in the agency for a whole day. In the past, she would never cook when she came home, and she would not cook when she came back early, waiting for He Jianguo to do it.Today, ask yourself to do what you don’t want to do.You can't do things just by thinking or not.The door opened, He Jianguo came back, and Xiaoxi went up to meet him.When He Jianguo took off his shoes, she went to pick up the bag in his hand and touched his hand. "Hands are so cold! You still have to wear a coat. You have to walk a while to get out of the car and into the building. It's such a cold day!" "Yes, it's such a cold day!" He Jianguo continued.Following this topic, he said, "Those migrant workers live in sheds without any heating equipment on such a cold day!" Before that, no matter how Jianguo mobilized his brother, his brother refused to come and live.He said that you cannot separate your husband and wife for me.He Jianguo said Xiaoxi agreed.He Jiancheng said that she agreed because she is sensible, and we have to be ignorant if he is sensible. To squeeze out his wife for the sake of my brother, it is impossible to justify it.During this period, He Jiancheng had another high fever, which cannot be said to be "again". He never recovered from the last cold.This time, I stayed at home for only one day, and left in a hurry.So He Jianguo thought that the only possibility for his brother to stay was for Xiaoxi to come back.But this time he didn't mention it to Xiaoxi, for fear of affecting their fragile husband-wife relationship again.But since the topic has reached this point today, he might as well talk about it.Xiaoxi has treated him very well recently, if it works, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? "Xiaoxi, my brother was sick again a few days ago. He had a high fever and went to the hospital for an examination. There was no other reason, but it was cold." Xiaoxi said before he finished speaking, then I'll go and let your brother come!He Jianguo waved his hand, "As soon as he comes, you leave. Can he feel at ease living here?" Xiao Xi asked stupidly, "How can we live if I don't leave?" "Why can't I live? Eight people can live in a dormitory at the university!" "Then there is also a male dormitory and a female dormitory, right? Didn't you say that men and women live together?" "Let's go to Taishan, a Datong shop, there are men and women, a dozen or so people, don't you also live in it? Why can't three people live in such a big house now!" Xiaoxi: "Can it be the same?" He Jianguo said: "If you say the same thing, it's the same. If you say it differently, it's different." Only then did Xiaoxi understand.After I understood it, my heart suddenly became cold, and my heart was completely cold.Just as she was about to have an outbreak, her cell phone rang, and the director of the distribution department called, asking her if the matter of He Jianguo's attendance at the meeting had been implemented.After Xiaoxi finished answering the phone, he suppressed the raging anger in his heart back.At the same time, I can't help but feel deep sorrow: Are they still called husband and wife?Constrained by interests and maintained for interests.Of course, maybe, this is the couple.In the past, their understanding of the relationship between husband and wife was naive and naive.Putting down the phone, Xiaoxi said without delay: "Our director of the distribution department called and asked if your company can attend our meeting." "The president will definitely not be able to go, he is not in the country." "How about you, can you go?" Without waiting for an answer, he said again, "You let your brother live. Let's make a bed for him in the living room." "Thank you." He Jianguo paused for a moment, "I will try to attend the meeting of your publishing house." Jian Jia led the staff to arrange the venue, climbed the stairs and hung banners. The words on the banners were: "Oriental Culture and Hedonism" Seminar.At this time, her cell phone rang, and when she answered it, joy immediately appeared on her face: "Xiao Hang!... Where are you now?...Turn left for 200 meters!...You came at the right time, what we need here Laborer!" After putting away the phone, he said to the young people: "You guys do it first, I will pick someone up at the door. I found a laborer for us!" Jian Jia walked out of the clubhouse, and unexpectedly met Liu Kairui at the door.Maybe he didn't meet, maybe he was waiting for her here at all.Jian Jia is not surprised—isn't it a matter of time before she meets Liu Kairui on Liu Kairui's territory?Don't dodge, don't dodge, and generously greet him: "Haven't you got off work yet?" Liu Kairui said: "Just about to leave. Give you a ride?" "Thanks. I'm not leaving just yet. We're not done yet." The other party smiled: "Is it because you are afraid that your little boyfriend is suspicious?" "Of course I don't want to add unnecessary suspicion." "Jian Jia, what if I decide to marry you now?" "You won't. I know you." "You are really my confidante!" There was self-mockery in the words.Jian Jia didn't bother to say anything to her anymore, and left alone, Xiaohang was waiting for her over there. After Xiaohang helped Jian Jia finish the work, the group went out.The little girl whispered to Jian Jia: "Sister Jian, he is handsome enough, catch him!" Jian Jia smiled and said, "Understood." The little girl greeted her companions.The young people left first with a sense of humor. Xiaohang: "What did that girl tell you just now?" "I've fallen in love with you.... Let me introduce you?" "no problem." "There is a problem. I don't agree." The two laughed at the same time.Jian Jia: "Are you coming tomorrow?" "Come. I have to come because of Liu Kairui. But it may be a little later. First, I have to take my mother to the airport. My mother is going to another place for consultation." Jian Jia took Xiao Hang's arm and walked, she did so on purpose, she knew that there was a pair of eyes watching them all the time.Liu Kairui's eyes. In the afternoon of the next day, the meeting was held as scheduled, and there were many celebrities.Liu Kairui sat quietly in the guest seat and listened to Professor Gu's speech on the stage. "British historian Toynbee once said: 'If I had to choose, I would like to live in the Song Dynasty in China.' Many famous Chinese scholars also said: 'The dynasty I most yearn for is the Song Dynasty'—the Song Dynasty is the most particular The dynasty of exquisite life, and the cultural people of the Song Dynasty are also the most qualified to pay attention to taste..." Liu Kairui felt bored, and thought to himself, what's the point of these old masters doing these things today, are they full?I still had to sit here and listen, listening with gusto.The other guests were probably in the same mood as him, sitting upright.It's not easy to be a celebrity, and you can't help yourself.They came only because they heard that each other was coming, and they didn't want to miss any chance to complement each other.Suddenly, Liu Kairui found a familiar face sitting on the left side in front of him in the guest seat. After thinking about it, he couldn't remember, so he stretched his neck to look at the seat board in front of him. The board said impressively: Technical Director of Tongzhong Company!Look at the name again, He Jianguo.He suddenly remembered who it was, Gu Xiaoxi's husband, they had met once at someone's book signing.Looking at him at that time, he was just an ordinary wage earner, but now he has become the technical director of a large company, which is really impressive.So he reached out and patted He Jianguo on the shoulder.He Jianguo looked back with surprise on his face. He was also feeling bored and didn't know how to pass the time. The two immediately started whispering. "Liu's head office really lives up to its reputation and is very impressive! As soon as it appears in the newspaper tomorrow, this advertisement will be considered done!" "Win-win, win-win!... Is Director He here today as a guest or as a family member of the editor in charge?" "It is both a guest and a family member. It is not only the family member of the editor in charge but also the family member of the author." He indicated Professor Gu who was speaking, "Professor Gu is my father-in-law." Liu Kairui didn't think of it at all: "You mean, the author of this book is Gu Xiaoxi and Gu Xiaohang's father?" He Jianguo didn't know what to do, and nodded, "Ah." Liu Kairui's anger immediately overflowed. After thinking about it, he wrote a text message.Press "Send", and look at Jian Jia's position at the same time.A few minutes later, Jian Jia apparently received a text message. After reading it, she thought about it, got up, and walked out.So Liu Kairui also got up and walked out. When He Jianguo asked him where he was going, he didn't bother to answer.He was so angry: the event he spent his money sponsoring and spending his energy on was actually for Gu Xiaohang's father! Outside the venue, Jian Jia was waiting for him at the place he designated.He came up and asked, "Why did you hide it from me?" His attitude was stern. Jian Jia said challengingly: "You didn't ask me!" Liu Kairui said word by word: "Jian Jia, I like being used by others, but I don't like being deceived." "I don't." "Not yet? To please your future father-in-law—to be exact, to please your boyfriend, you don't hesitate to use my good opinion of you and my trust in you! Take the money of the man who likes you and spend it on the man you like -" "As far as I know, Gu Xiaohang returned 20,000 yuan to you!" Liu Kairui waved his hand: "That's the money for publishing the book! Where's the money for the venue? What about the money for the seminar? Two thousand for an expert—" With a wave of his hand, "You count how many thousands! Jian Jia, yourself What kind of behavior is this, is it cheating? And it is, unscrupulous!" Jian Jia remained silent.Liu Kairui said sharply, "Jian Jia, talk!" "I only asked you for a sponsorship of more than 20,000 yuan. What you said later has nothing to do with me!" "You clearly know it's about you!" Jian Jia was silent.After a while, he looked up: "Okay, calculate the total amount, and we will pay you back." Liu Kairui narrowed his eyes: "You?" "to us." Liu Kairui looked at Jian Jia intently: "That is to say, you and that little boy are serious?" Jian Jia didn't speak.Liu Kairui shook his head, "Jian Jia, after all, we have been together for six years. From what I know about you, you are not suitable for him." "Whether it's suitable or not, you have to understand both parties. Do you understand Gu Xiaohang?" Liu Kairui looked up to the sky and laughed loudly: "He? I don't understand? There are a lot of boys like him in our company!" Jian Jia looked at him for a moment, then turned away and was grabbed by Liu Kairui.Jian Jia said, "What are you going to do?" "I have spent such a large sum of money for you, and now I ask you to accompany me for a while and talk, I should have the right?" "You - shameless!" "It was you who was shameless first!" Suddenly Liu Kairui's hand was torn away by a young and strong hand, a man's hand.The two looked up and saw that it was Gu Xiaohang.Liu Kairui was pushed by him, staggered a few steps back, and looked at the other party after standing still.Xiaohang also examined him.Jian Jia hid behind Xiaohang.extremely quiet.After a while, Liu Kairui smiled lightly: "Gu Xiaohang, don't you think it's a little funny to spend my money on my territory and hold your father's academic seminar?" Xiaohang looked at him vigilantly, waiting for him to speak. "All this is because Jian Jia found me. Why did she find me and not you? Because you don't have the ability to meet her request. Xiaohang, you are still young, and you can still rely on your youthful romance It’s sweet to coax a woman, but I want to remind you, woman, don’t care about what, it’s useless to just coax her with your mouth. You can coax her for a while but not for a lifetime. When you are young, and she is also young, you Play two ditties under her window and say a few words I LOVE YOU, and she will follow you as soon as she gets mad. If you think that is love, you are wrong. Sooner or later, she will tell you that you lied to her—— In fact, what did you lie to her? Didn't you just not let her live a more beautiful life than the girl next door?" Xiaohang embraced Jian Jia and said to Liu Kairui: "I really sympathize with you, you don't know what love is at all." Liu Kairui laughed loudly: "Do you know what the biggest distress of being a rich man is? No one sympathizes with me. Thank you, you are the first person to express sympathy for me over the years." After Liu Kairui finished speaking, he looked at the watch below, "It's my turn to speak. ... Aren't you going to hear my wonderful speech?" ………… Liu Kairui made a speech.There was silence in the hall. "The double value of women mentioned in Professor Gu's book is very profound and incisive. I want to use my personal experience to explain Professor Gu's theory. Once, a college classmate of mine complained to us at a party, saying: Today's women are too snobbish. For successful men, she is the most clever and gentle little pet dog; but for unsuccessful men, she will immediately become a domineering shrew, even a little bit of gentle scum They don’t even want to give up for you.... To be honest, I sympathize with a down-and-out man, but when you think about it seriously, they are really to blame. If a man has no ability to establish himself in the world, what qualifications do you have to ask for the man of your dreams? Women live according to your ideas?..." At first Xiaohang could listen calmly, but then he became more and more uncomfortable.Jian Jia felt it, and encouraged him with her eyes from time to time, but due to too many acquaintances around her, it was inconvenient to take more obvious actions.But Xiaohang still couldn't sit still, and finally got up and left.Jian Jia wanted to get up and chase him, but was grabbed by Xiaoxi.Liu Kairui, who was speaking, noticed this scene. In fact, what he said was aimed at Xiaohang and Jian Jia.An imperceptible smile flashed across his face, but the above speech was not affected without the slightest pause. "If a man wants to have high demands on women, he should first have high demands on himself, otherwise he will be as annoying as a beggar who has high demands on the quality of life!" After the meeting, He Jianguo drove Xiaoxi's father home with Xiaoxi.After walking all the way, Xiaoxi's father felt emotional all the way, and when he got home, he still couldn't stop feeling emotional: "This Liu Kairui is so romantic and talented——" Xiaoxi added: "——wealthy money!" Xiaoxi's father nodded: "Xiaohang competed with him, except for the slight advantage in age—" Xiaoxi sighed: "Is that an advantage? It's a disadvantage! Now Xing is still a man, a big girl, and a girl, and Jian Jia has no worries about his age!" "Xiao Xi, why do you know everything and speak up for him instead of dissuading him?" "Because I can't persuade you! Once a person is armed with love, he is invulnerable. At this time, persuading him is tantamount to being a cart. Let's not say that we will be smashed to pieces, and it will not delay him from walking along his track. All we can do now is to watch him overturn and fall headlong." Down the cliff, there's no other way! . . . Let me say, Dad, let him go." "You are acting as a lobbyist for them in a different way!...Xiaoxi, let me tell you, you don't want to get in trouble here, your mother and I will definitely not--" Before the words fell, Xiaohang enters.Xiaoxi's father immediately became serious: "Where have you been?" "Went to eat." "With whom?" "Our boss." Xiaoxi's father was heartbroken immediately: "Xiaohang, look how far you have fallen! In the past, you were the backbone of the company anyway, and the boss often asked you to eat, but now because of work, you have to turn around and invite the boss to eat—" "It was for work, but it didn't turn around. He still invited me to dinner today." Everyone didn't understand.Xiaohangdao: "He apologized to me and asked me to go back, the sooner the better. The construction period has been delayed by at least three days than expected, and a delay of one day is worth one million. ... All the technical materials of this project, several stacks of engineering drawings, Another project manager would have to watch it for three days without closing his eyes, and he would have to be a genius—for an ordinary one, let him watch it for half a month, and it would be good if he could figure out where the door is!" Xiaoxi's father hurriedly said, "What do you say?" "I said, it's okay to go back, but there is one condition: idlers are not allowed to enter the construction site! Customers who visit the building must greet the construction party, the sales office must be accompanied by a special person, and the walking route must be approved by us in advance!" Xiaoxi happily said, "When do you want to go to work?" "Didn't you listen to me, the sooner the better. Go tomorrow." "Then who will pick up mom when she comes back tomorrow?" "It turns out that I have already arranged a job for me. This does not mean that I am a vagrant." He Jianguo said, "I'll let my driver go." Xiaoxi glanced at He Jianguo, and was very proud of having a husband who was "my driver".He said cheerfully: "Yes. Jianguo has a driver. This way everyone doesn't have to delay work." After Xiaoxi went home to live in, He Jianguo's elder brother still refused to live in his younger brother's house, saying that "I'm not used to it when I first arrived, just get used to it." , moved Xiaoxi.Therefore, in the recent period, the relationship between husband and wife has been further improved. Xiaohang glanced at her sideways, and imitated her tone: "'Jianguo has a driver'—is it superficial, sister!" Just as Xiaoxi was about to fight back, He Jianguo's cell phone rang, and he answered the phone: "Father!" Xiaoxi was immediately on high alert.After He Jianguo answered the phone, she asked his father what was the matter. He Jianguo said it was nothing serious, and then said that he had something to do and couldn't eat at home and left first.and left. The reason why He Jianguo didn't tell Xiaoxi what his father said on the phone was because he wanted to deal with the matter himself, and he didn't want to make Xiaoxi feel bored, and he didn't want to make the relationship they had finally eased tense again.He went to the construction site to find his brother.Dad called and said that my sister-in-law's grandfather passed away, and her grandfather's family hoped that her grandchildren could go back and see.Including Xiaoxi.He Jianguo felt that it was a little unreasonable for Xiaoxi to go back, so he wanted to discuss it with his brother first, and get through his brother first.Instinctively felt that it would be easier for the elder brother to pass this test, and the elder brother agreed, and it would be much easier to let the elder brother do the work of the sister-in-law and the family.Unexpectedly, my brother said: "Your sister-in-law and her grandfather have a very good relationship. The old man is gone. It is the grandchildren's responsibility to cry and mourn.... I know this is not a big deal, but they take it seriously. Let Xiao Xiqian just this time?" He Jianguo tried his best to persuade: "Brother, the people in the city are very indifferent in terms of human relations, and they basically live their lives behind closed doors. Some ideals make sense to them, and it is very difficult for them to understand..." He Jiancheng obviously understood this and waved his hand: "I don't need her to understand anything, just ask her for a favor. Your sister-in-law is not easy. Although she is not well-educated, she is not an unreasonable person. She doesn't talk about ordinary things. Whenever she opens her mouth, it's a big deal for her... You see, when I came to Beijing, she was alone at home, serving the old and the young, on the kang and off the family farm. When did you ever hear her complain? So this time, I want to try my best to meet her request." "Brother, do you think we can spend money to hire a weeping woman to replace Xiaoxi? I'll pay for it!" He Jiancheng waved his hand and sighed: "Jianguo, it's not about money....Why did you ask Xiaoxi to go back? Because she has status and can make your sister-in-law feel honorable. Your sister-in-law wants to take care of our parents and the My child, her grandfather is gone, and she is not around, this incident makes her feel very uncomfortable!" The elder brother's attitude made He Jianguo make up his mind: "Okay, I'll tell Xiaoxi! It's nothing to ask for a few days off for a trip." Leaving his brother, He Jianguo drove directly to the supermarket and bought a lot of delicious food. At the same time, he called Xiaoxi and told her to go home for dinner. He wanted to treat her to a big meal, a real big meal. I just bought it from the supermarket, and I also bought Xiaoxi's favorite sea crab.In the evening, Xiaoxi arrived home as soon as he entered the house, and when he got home, he had a vigilant expression on his face.Can you not be vigilant?His father just called in the morning, and he invited her to a big meal in the evening!He Jianguo pretended to be very interested and asked Xiaoxi to help peel the onion and smash the garlic. Xiaoxi didn't move, looked him straight in the eyes and said, "Jianguo, we are old couples, so don't come here. Tell me, What's the matter with your father!" He Jianguo was extremely embarrassed, and he said something, and Xiaoxi sneered after hearing what he said. "Let me tell you, He Jianguo, if it is understandable to say that your family asked my family to help you with those things, this matter is absolutely not allowed! I will never compromise with the backward forces! Going to a funeral with someone you don’t even know, dressed in sackcloth and mourning, crazy?” "Xiaoxi, I'll drive there, hold on tight, three days are enough!" "Stupid! Ignorant! Backward!...He Jianguo, I said, are you sick? Usually, don't worry about anything, as long as it has nothing to do with your family, your brain is clear and normal! Why did you come to your family? , your brain is short-circuited and confused - let me leave work and take a leave of absence to go to the train and bus to cry for your sister-in-law's grandfather, I have to cry too, can you not understand in your heart, you must let me go?" He Jianguo said seriously, "Xiaoxi, I'm not trying to reason with you now, I'm talking about love with you." "I have no love with him!" "If you don't look at the monk's face and look at the Buddha's face, isn't there still me in it!" "What do you mean?" "This means that I let you go for me, not for our family! To go or not to go is up to you!" Xiaoxi's eyes widened.Then, he turned around, slammed the door and left.Even though he is now in full swing, and even though she hopes that her husband will be happy with her husband, there is no bottom line. The bottom line is her self-esteem and principles in life. He Jianguo stood where he was, without moving for a long time.厨房里，堆着一地还没有来得及从袋里拿出的东西。 小西妈走出机场，神情极为疲惫。昨天赶去外地会诊，今天返回，对一个六十岁的老人来说，实在是紧张了些。正在举目四望找人——小西说何建国派他的司机来接——没料到看到了何建国。她有些意外，也有些感动：“建国！……你怎么来了，工作这么忙。让司机来就可以嘛。” “没事妈妈没事。走吧。”何建国一手拎起小西妈的东西，一手呵护小西妈走。边走边主动汇报：小夏的事已经跟家里说了，小夏听说了也很高兴，但是近期她来不了，两口子正在闹离婚。具体为什么事不知道，但总之，一时是出不来了。又说，家里如果能坚持一下就坚持一下，坚持不了就让他爹在村里另帮家里找。最后，上车之后，驶上高速路后，何建国才小小心心地说了。说了希望小西能跟他回去一趟的事。小西妈沉默了好长时间后，说让何建国保证这是最后一次。何建国说他保证。最终小西妈同意跟小西说说。 小西仍然不同意。 小航劝姐姐：“人活一张脸，树活一张皮。他们农村人什么都没有，要是再没脸，还活个什么劲儿？让你去就是为了给他们增光拔份！” 小西回道：“那你也得去！你是死者的孙女婿的弟弟的小舅子！” 小西妈眉头紧锁：“行了，都什么时候了还开玩笑！我的意见，去一趟。给对方个台阶下。走走形式，他们需要的也就是一个形式。小西，这事我仔细想了，你如果不打算跟他过了，那我没话说。如果你还打算跟他过，有些事上还就得让一让……” “我怎么没让！我不是答应跟他们哥儿俩一块儿同居了吗？” “可他哥最终还是没去你家住，而何建国却在百忙当中参加了你爸的研讨会！……小西，你现在也该体会到了，夫妻过日子就是压跷跷板，你高我低，你低我高，不能总是一方高高在上，那样子的话日子很难过得下去。” 为缓和家中气氛，小航凑趣说：“妈，您跟我爸年轻的时候也这样吗，压跷跷板？” 正在客厅看晚报的小西爸头也不抬道：“压。不过总是你妈高高在上。” “我高高在上？我高高在上都是虚的，实权全在你手里。说说看老顾，咱家的大政方针哪一样不是得听你的？” 小西禁不住笑了起来：“爸够阴险的啊！” 小西妈也笑：“非常阴险。” 小西走到她爸身边，一把拿开父亲正看的报纸：“爸，别假装看报了，教我两手！” 小西爸一把扯回报纸：“去去去去！”都笑了。家里一片温馨。笑着，小西爸说：“我的意见跟你妈一样，还是去一趟，啊？” 小西长叹，算是同意。小西爸妈松了口气。致命的原因，心照不宣的原因谁都没说，那就是，小西的生育问题。
