Because everyone was busy with things at hand, Dai Shufang walked towards the door and shouted: "Don't move, I'll just go and open the door!"
She opened the door, and saw Zhong Kangde standing outside holding a bouquet of red roses in his hand.
Zhong Kangde glanced at her, with a look of amazement in his eyes, and praised: "Shufang, you are so beautiful today!"
Dai Shufang was a little embarrassed when she saw her, she blushed slightly and said, "Look at what you said, don't I usually not be beautiful or attractive?"
Zhong Kangde immediately shook his head and said: "No, no, I can't speak. You are usually very good-looking, but today... you are very beautiful!"
When he said the next few words, his voice was lowered, and the words "very beautiful" seemed to roll over the tip of his tongue, full of ambiguity.
Dai Shufang's cheeks became hotter, she coughed and changed the subject: "By the way, why are you here today?"
Zhong Kangde handed over the rose in his hand and said: "Today is your birthday, and this flower is for you. In foreign countries, the flower language of twenty-five roses is to wish you happiness, Shufang, I hope you will be happy forever !"
When she was going to marry Huo Zhengchen, he also said the same thing to her.
His blessings for her have not changed from beginning to end, as long as she is happy, even if she is not by his side, he will sincerely bless her.
When he came back to China and met her again this time, he hadn't planned to do anything, but he couldn't control his mouth, and couldn't help asking Da Qiao for news about her.
It doesn't matter if you don't inquire about it, but only after inquiring did you find out that she was actually divorced!
That bastard Huo Zhengchen actually married another wife abroad and gave birth to a child. If he had the chance to meet Huo Zhengchen, he would definitely punch him in the face!
Dai Shufang obviously also thought of what happened back then, her eyes were a little red.
She concealed her emotions by taking the rose over: "Thank you, this rose is very beautiful, it is difficult to find such a beautiful rose in Beijing!"
Zhong Kangde pushed the gold-rimmed glasses and said, "As long as you have the heart, it's not difficult."
Dai Shufang didn't dare to look at him, she moved to the side and said: "We are preparing lunch, if you have nothing to do next, why don't you stay and have a meal together?"
I don't know if she is careless, but she always feels that every word he says has a deep meaning, as if he is implying something like her!
Zhong Kangde couldn't wait for it, and quickly responded: "Okay, I have nothing else to do, I have a lot of free time!"
Dai Shufang: "..."
After closing the door, the two went into the house one after the other.
Da Qiao saw Aunt Fang coming back with a bouquet of roses, she pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Flowers match beauty, Aunt Fang, you are so beautiful today!"
Everyone likes to be praised, and Dai Shufang's cheeks had two red clouds: "You child, why does your mouth look like you have smeared honey? Aunt Fang looks good, that's because the cheongsam you made looks good and fits so well!"
The corners of Da Qiao's mouth were dimpled slightly: "The embroidery on it was instructed by my grandfather, otherwise I wouldn't be able to embroider such beautiful embroidery!"
"Why? Was this skirt embroidered by classmate Qiao?" Zhong Kangde said with a look of surprise.
Da Qiao let out an "ah", and then saw Professor Zhong coming out from behind Aunt Fang.
"Hello, Professor Zhong!"
She stood up with a whoosh, holding a freshly washed duck in her hand.
Zhong Kangde waved his hand, his eyes fell on the duck in her hand and said: "Student Qiao, don't be too cautious. Judging from this, student Qiao is proficient in all eighteen martial arts!"
Not only is he good at reading, but he can also embroider and cook. His student is really excellent!
When it comes to Da Qiao, Dai Shufang has a topic: "You are right, I have met so many people, and I have never seen a little girl who is more beautiful and ingenious than my Da Qiao. I am not praising her. She's really good at everything!"
Big Joe:"… "
Aunt Fang, if you are not boasting, then what is boasting
Seeing Da Qiao's embarrassing face, Zhong Kangde couldn't help laughing: "You are right, I also think Qiao is very good, and she is also very good in school, are you interested in listening to me?" Tell you about her at school?"
Dai Shufang nodded again and again: "It's good to be kind, let's go inside and talk while drinking tea."
There was a smile in Zhong Kangde's eyes: "Okay!"
Big Joe:"… "
Hey, if you treat her like this as a topic, won't someone ask her opinion first
Huo Chi came over with a bucket in his hand, and saw her blankly: "What's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?"
Da Qiao came back to her senses, shook her head and said, "I'm fine, it's just that Professor Zhong came over and gave Aunt Fang a big bouquet of red roses!"
Huo Chi was taken aback for a moment: "Do you like roses too?"
Da Qiao nodded: "I like it, so many roses are put together, it really looks good!"
The roses she planted belong to the category of roses with very small flowers, which are not bad when made into dried flowers, but they are not good enough to give away.
Huo Chi said without hesitation: "Then I will see you off next time!"
Da Qiao pursed her lips and laughed: "Okay, then I'll thank Brother Huo Chi first. By the way, didn't you say you wanted to ask Grandpa Huo about Professor Zhong last time?"
Huo Chi poured the water from the bucket into the wooden basin, then squatted down and plucked the duck feathers with her, and said, "Grandpa said that Professor Zhong used to be neighbors with my mother's family. The two of them grew up together and have a very good relationship."
Da Qiao nodded meaningfully: "So they are childhood sweethearts, just like us!"
Huo Chi liked that she used "we" to describe their relationship, which made him feel that the two of them were one, but every time he saw her gossip, he wanted to laugh.
He dipped his hands in water, then tapped her nose and said, "Student Qiao Niannian, haven't you noticed? You're getting more and more gossip now, if you continue like this, you'll have to talk to those from Qili Village in the future." It's the same as aunt!"
Da Qiao screamed, avoiding his hand and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Huo Chi, why are you so bad? And I don't gossip, I care about Aunt Fang, okay?"
Dai Shufang heard the screams and ran out of the house quickly: "What happened? What else do you care about me?"
Da Qiao and Huo Chi were both embarrassed.
There is nothing wrong with saying that you can't talk about people in the daytime!
Da Qiao secretly poked Huo Chi's waist with his hand, asking him to explain to Aunt Fang.
Huo Chi grabbed her troublesome little hand from behind, and said calmly: "Mom, it's okay, there was something running over there just now, we thought it was a mouse, and Da Qiao also said that he wanted to catch a cat to avoid scared you."
When Da Qiao heard this, he turned to look at him in surprise.
Brother Huo Chi's ability to lie is really easy to come by!
Dai Shufang looked at the two of them, praised Da Qiao for being sensible and considerate, and then told Huo Chi: "You are a boy, you can come to work, Da Qiao, if you are tired, come in and rest. "
Huo Chi couldn't laugh or cry: "Mom, am I still your biological son?"
Dai Shufang laughed and scolded: "Why, you are not satisfied with some work? Don't do it if you have the ability!"
"Do it! How dare I not do it!" Huo Chi hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mom, why don't you go in quickly, it's not good to let Professor Zhong in there alone?"
Dai Shufang turned around and went back.
Da Qiao twitched his little hand and said, "Brother Huo Chi, can you let go of my hand now?"
Huo Chi looked at her pink and tender face, suddenly lowered his head and gave her a quick kiss on the back of the hand, then frowned and said, "...why does it seem to have a smell?"
Da Qiao almost burst out laughing: "Brother Huo Chi, before you came, I just plucked out the duck's feathers next to the duck's buttocks, of course it smells!"
Huo Chi cracked: "..."
Seeing him like this, Da Qiao laughed even more so that he fell back and forth.
—
Qiao Zhenguo, his wife, and Anping, who went to the big house, came to have dinner at night because they wanted to open a shop.
Ever since Anping got engaged to Dai Xiaoxue, she seemed to be a different person.
In the past, he always had such a lazy feeling, but now this temperament disappeared in a day.
He works harder than before, and he will research new dishes every week, and give customers a half discount on the first day of tasting new dishes.
After the guests have tasted it, he will personally ask the guests for their opinions, and then modify it according to the opinions of the guests. The guests' comments on this are very high, and there are more repeat customers, and the business in the store is getting hotter.
Recently, Anping and his father Qiao Zhenguo have been looking at a new shop. The shop is a bit too small for them now. They originally wanted to rent or buy the next door together, but the landlord next door saw their business is good, so they raised the price.
The price was too high to be a good buy or sell, so they decided to find another place.
Qiao Xiuzhi and Xue Chuan were very relieved to see the changes in their eldest grandson.
Anping is a little stupid, but he is more reliable than his parents, and it will not be a problem to support his wife and children in the future!
After Anping's father-in-law-to-be found out about his forging ahead, he looked better towards him.
But Dai Xiaoxue is pitiful, she has already been taken back from the Huo family, and is forced to study by her father every day, life is miserable.
After Qiao Donghe came over, he squatted down and prepared to help with work, but was stopped by everyone.
Her belly is already showing, how can everyone let her work, and there are so many people who can work here, there is not much if there is more of her, and there is not much if there is one less.
Qiao Donghe was blocked everywhere, so she had to be helped by her husband to sit inside.
It was not good for the two couples to sit and be served. After helping Qiao Donghe to the living room, Luo Junliang went out to help with the work.
After exchanging pleasantries, Zhong Kangde stood up and said, "I'll also go outside to see if there is anything I need to help with."
After speaking, he walked out.
He has been here for a long time and has been chatting with Dai Shufang for a long time. If he continues talking, it will not only attract other people's attention, but also may arouse Dai Shufang's vigilance.
What he wants to do now is to appear by her side bit by bit, let her get used to his existence again, and then confess his love.
He also thought about pursuing her directly and enthusiastically, but he quickly denied this idea.
They are no longer hot-blooded young people. They have all experienced marriage and divorce, and their hearts have been traumatized. They are bound to be more cautious when dealing with new relationships.
Anyway, he has plenty of time, so he spends it slowly with her!
Inside the living room.
Dai Shufang made a cup of red dates, wolfberries and brown sugar water for Qiao Donghe, and then asked her, "How is your stomach? Have you been checked by the hospital?"
Qiao Donghe touched her belly, her face was full of maternal love and kindness: "I checked, and the doctor said everything is fine."
Dai Shufang nodded: "That's good. There are still six months to go. If you don't understand something, you must ask someone. Your grandma has a lot of experience in this field. If you don't understand, just ask her. Don't hesitate to ask her." Don't hold back alone, understand?"
As for her mother Wan Chunju, forget it, she is not a reliable person.
Qiao Donghe nodded again: "I see, if there is anything I don't understand, I will ask my grandma."
Dai Shufang took a sip of rose tea: "I heard that your mother-in-law is coming, how long is she going to stay here?"
It would not be a bad thing if a mother-in-law who was easy to get along with came over to help Qiao Donghe take care of her confinement child. The problem was that her mother-in-law was not a worry-free thing!
Hearing her mention of her mother-in-law, the smile on Qiao Donghe's face disappeared quickly: "I don't know how long she plans to stay, Aunt Fang, to tell you the truth, the thought of living with my mother-in-law makes me feel scared!"
When Dai Shufang heard what she said, she sighed in her heart and said, "Donghe, as your elder, I will just say a few words! Your grandma mentioned your matter to me, and I think your mother-in-law's matter is the key It’s still up to you, if you can’t stand up, no one else can help you!”
It can help for a while, but not for a lifetime.
That person is her husband's mother, they are outsiders, can they still intervene to drive each other away
Doesn't this obviously make their husband and wife feel bad
Qiao Xiuzhi said that this time when Qiao Donghe's mother-in-law came, she didn't plan to show up and make a move. She wanted to make Qiao Donghe suffer a lot and force her to stand up by herself.
If she can't stand up all the time, it's better to get a divorce, and let her be raised as an old girl at home from now on!
Of course, she wouldn't tell Qiao Donghe this, but she did feel that her character was too soft, so it's better for her eldest Joe.
When she should be soft, she is a caring little padded jacket, but when she first gets up, even a bum will have his head broken by her!
Qiao Donghe's eyes were slightly red: "Thank you, Aunt Fang, I know."
She knew she should be tough, but she couldn't!
And that was Junliang's own mother, if she talked back, what would Junliang think of her
Dai Shufang felt angry when she saw Qiao Donghe's appearance.
Out of sight, she stood up and found a reason to go out.
Qiao Donghe sat in the living room alone, feeling heavy.
This time she came here, intending to ask her grandma to persuade her mother-in-law to go back, but after she came, her grandma didn't let her speak, and then sent her away directly.
With her grandma's appearance, it's clear that she doesn't want to control her anymore.
She felt very uncomfortable.
—
The dishes were almost ready, Da Qiao and Huo Chi went to the film company to pick up Xue Anxu and Xiao Dongyun in a car.
When he came to the film company, Huo Chi asked the driver to pick up the two little guys, and they waited below.
Huo Chi soon went to buy popsicles again, and he and Da Qiao each had one.
Da Qiao took the popsicle and licked it, and said coldly, "Thank you brother Huo Chi, but why did you just buy two, the two little guys will definitely not follow it when they see it later!"
Huo Chi said: "I heard that children shouldn't eat too much cold food, besides, they are going to film a movie and record an album now, I think it's better to buy them after things are settled."
Da Qiao nodded his head: "Brother Huo Chi, if you are more thoughtful, then don't buy it for them!"
Huo Chi curled his lips into a smile.
He wasn't stingy with the little money, but he had thought about eating popsicles with her on the street for a long time, so he had to sacrifice Xue Anxu and Xiao Dongyun.
At this moment, Xue Anxu and Xiao Dongyun sneezed hard.
But the thought of seeing their family soon made the two of them very excited. After saying goodbye to the company people, they jumped and went downstairs with the driver.
When they came downstairs, the two little guys saw Da Qiao, their eyes lit up, and they yelled "Sister" and rushed over.
"Sister, I miss you so much!" Xue Anxu hung on Da Qiao's body like a rubber band, and acted like a baby with his little face upturned.
Xiao Dongyun pushed her younger brother away, hugged the other thigh quickly and said, "Sister, I miss you too, I miss you every second of every day, every moment, even in my dreams!"
Huo Chi: Shit, now that even children can speak nasty things better than him, what face does he have to call himself Da Qiao's object
Da Qiao touched this with one hand and the other with the other: "My sister misses you too, the weather is too hot, let's get in the car and talk about it, okay?"
Xue Anxu looked at the small shop opposite and said, "Sister, I want to eat popsicles!"
Xiao Dongyun swallowed subconsciously when she heard the word popsicle, and looked at her sister eagerly, obviously wanting to eat it too.
Da Qiao immediately put on a serious face and said: "No, children eat too much cold food, it is easy to get upset! Not only you children can't eat it, but my sister doesn't eat it either!"
Xue Anxu pursed his mouth, and said aggrievedly: "Well, if you don't eat it, don't eat it, I'm a poor little cabbage~"
Xiao Dongyun went on to sing: "Little cabbage, the ground is yellow, three or two years old, I have no mother, follow my father, live a good life, I am afraid that my father will marry a stepmother, my mother, my mother..."
This song originally described the sadness of a little girl who was abused after losing her mother. Xiao Dongyun's voice is clear and full of emotion, and she sings this folk song very sadly.
When passers-by heard this, the eyes of some ladies with shallow tears immediately turned red.
Some people looked at Da Qiao and Huo Chi with condemning eyes, which made them both break out in cold sweat.
Da Qiao hurriedly stopped her: "Okay, Xiao Dongyun, let's stop singing, there will be a lot of food when we go back, you can eat as much as you want!"
Xiao Dongyun and Xue Anxu are both obedient children, seeing that their sister said so, they nodded in agreement.
Just at this time!
The lady proprietress of the small shop opposite ran over with a five-cent note, and shouted as she ran, "Young man, you bought popsicles just now, and I gave you five cents less. Here, take it!"
Big Joe:"… "
Huo Chi: "..."
Xiao Dongyun:? ?
Xue Anxu:? ?
What if my sister doesn't eat it
Lie a child! !
[Note] Xiaobaicai is a Hebei folk song.
The author has something to say: Da Qiao: Huo Chi hurt me, my sister image is gone!
Huo Chi: It was the popsicle boss who hurt me qaq
