After dinner, the sisters of the Xie family left one after another.
Cen Jiuxiao sat in the car and suddenly remembered: "Oops! I forgot to serve soup for uncle."
Xie Yunmiao paused when she heard the words: "What kind of soup are you serving?"
"Huh? Just, chicken soup from the kitchen."
"Okay, why do you suddenly think of serving soup for your uncle?"
Cen Jiuxiao's eyes flashed: "I want to express my filial piety."
Xie Yunmiao patted his forehead in relief: "So good."
"whee… "
Although Zhong Yunyi really didn't want to face a group of chattering sisters-in-law, but the old lady said, he still obediently came back to eat a meal like sitting on pins and needles at night, and finally stayed until he was about to leave, and Xie Yunzao started to have moths again.
"...you won't come back?" The man frowned.
Xie Yunzao corrected: "Mom asked us to stay one more night."
She emphasizes the tone, emphasizing the "we."
The creases between Zhong Yunyi's eyebrows deepened: "It's not a holiday, so why live in an old house?"
"Only during Chinese New Year and holidays can we live here?" the woman asked indifferently.
He choked, "... I have to go to the company tomorrow."
Can't you go to the company if you live here
Xie Yunzao twitched the corners of his mouth, his eyes showed a bit of fatigue, and he was too lazy to refute him.
He just said: "If you don't want to stay, go back. I will stay with my son."
Zhong Yunyi didn't think it was a good proposal: "You stay with Zhong Ziang, I'll go alone, what does mom think?"
In the first half of her life, the old lady went up and down with the old man in the shopping malls, and in the second half of her life, she used her wisdom to teach her husband and daughter. It can be said that the Xie family was able to surpass the Lou family ten years ago and become the head of the eight wealthy families in the imperial capital. She alone should take half of the credit.
So, how could it be as gentle and harmless as it seems on the surface
Zhong Yunyi clicked his tongue, and said that the woman from the Xie family can't be messed with.
"You can go as long as you want, regardless of what my mother thinks?" Xie Yunzao pouted, turned around and was about to enter the house.
Zhong Yunyi sighed, pulled her into his arms, and hugged her tightly: "You clearly know that I feel uncomfortable living here, and you don't know how to feel sorry for me..."
The man's voice was close to his ears, and the hot breath sprayed on the side of his face, Xie Yunzao blushed on the spot.
Zhong Yunyi's eyes were itchy, he lowered his head and kissed her: "Honey, let's go home, Zhong Ziang will stay here."
Poor boy, out of sight, out of mind.
"What are you doing, there are people around..." Xie Yunzao struggled uncomfortably.
It's just that that little bit of strength couldn't shake the man's arms like iron tongs.
On the contrary, Zhong Yunyi's interest was high, without further ado, he directly kidnapped him into the car, "Let's go!"
"Zhong Yunyi, I haven't picked up my bag—"
"Morrow, let the servant bring it to you."
"I haven't told Ang Ang yet..."
"Say the fart! Do you have to report to him where your parents are going?"
The black Maybach is gone.
Zhong Ziang, who had just stepped out of the gate, only saw the back of a car going away: "?"
…
That night.
After the hustle and bustle of the day, the old house has fallen into a deep sleep at this moment.
Only the study room was still lit, and against the background of the night, it became more and more lonely.
"Dad, are you looking for me?"
Xie Dingyuan stood in front of the desk with his hands down, his tall figure was as tall and straight as a pine.
"Sit. We father and son haven't had a good chat for a while."
Xie Dingyuan sat down with a humming sound, leaned back slightly, and leaned back on the chair back, which was his expression of relaxation.
"How is historical technology recently?"
"operating normally."
"The last time I played with Lao Shen, he said that you have been preparing your thesis recently? Do you still need to fill in the missing data?"
"Well. There are three experiments with incomplete data. I want to borrow the laboratory of Q University this time."
The old man nodded: "You are a successful man, and you have never been worried about since you were a child."
Xie Dingyuan raised his eyes, under the light, the father and son's identical black pupils showed identical sensitivity and sharpness.
He smiled: "What exactly are you trying to say?"
"Cough..." The old man was embarrassed in a rare way, "Look at you, you will be 29 next year..."
Xie Dingyuan knew the following without listening to the familiar beginning.
"What does my mother mean?" he asked.
The old man pondered for a moment, "It's also mine."
The two sides were silent, and the air in the huge study room began to stagnate.
"Ah Yuan, people have to have a family after all. You do scientific research, you have to serve the country and the people, your mother and I never stop, but we are getting old, half of our bodies are buried in the soil, and we don't know when we will lie down completely Now, you have to make us feel at ease!"
Xie Dingyuan didn't move his brows and eyes, under the light, it looked like a relief made of warm jade.
Jun Zejun, but a little less human.
"Or..." the old man said tentatively, "Do you have a girl you like?"
A figure flashed in my mind, too fast to catch.
Xie Dingyuan didn't want to delve into it, he heard his calm voice as usual—
"No."
"Then..." the old man hesitated to speak.
Xie Dingyuan glanced over and landed on his gray temples.
The above eight sisters all have their own destinations, but he is the only one who is still worrying about the old couple.
Even if he doesn't need marriage, nor does he have the energy and patience to manage a relationship, but they need their son to start a family, and the Xie family also needs the next generation of heirs.
This was originally his responsibility.
Worth mentioning.
A soft sigh escaped from his lips: "Let Mom watch the arrangements."
After speaking, get up and leave.
The old man was stunned, and it took him a while to realize: "... Is this consent?"
After finally waiting for her son to let go, the old lady started to talk happily the next day.
First call out a few daughters in the family group and ask them if they have a suitable introduction partner.
Xie Yunxiang: "Xiao Jiu agreed?!"
The old lady: "Yes, your father has a way."
Xie Yunshu: "Could it be that he reluctantly agreed? This is not good. Xiao Jiu can't be forced, and he will be stubborn if he is forced. Don't really make him a family marriage. This is a lifelong event. Sharing the same bed The person who sleeps on the pillow should only like himself."
Xie Yunmiao: "Fourth sister is right."
Of course, the old lady also hopes that her son will find someone he likes: "Isn't it true that he doesn't have one? I want to introduce him to a few places first. Maybe after a long time, he will gradually develop feelings? Xiaojiu's virtue is just like your father's." He is so proud that no one is in his eyes, it is impossible for him to fall in love with any girl at first sight."
Xie Yunlan: "I remember that the girl from the third room of the Lin family was a postdoctoral student at Q University. She researched genes and the like. She published several articles in SCI. She has a high IQ and is also beautiful. They are all engaged in research. I think we have a common topic with Xiaojiu. Why don't you let the two of you get in touch first? Anyway, Xiao Jiu has been soaking in Q's laboratory recently, hasn't he?"
The old lady: "That's good, it's settled like this, the third child, you can contact me."
"Don't worry mom, wrap it on me."
At this time, Xie Yunqian, who hadn't erupted for a long time, suddenly said—
"Did A Yuan agree with you to do this?"
There was a moment of silence in the group.
Xie Yunqian, the eighth son of the Xie family, although she is also descended from Xie Jiayun, is not the old lady's own, but the daughter of the old man's old friend, who was adopted by the Xie family when she was very young.
Only two months older than Xie Dingyuan, and married abroad the year before last, almost lost contact with her family.
The person who hadn't spoken in the group for two years suddenly cheated on the corpse, and everyone was a little stunned.
Especially that sentence is not very nice, at first glance, it seems to be questioning something.
Ah…
It's the turn of an outsider to point fingers at Xiaojiu's affairs
Xie Yunxiang: "Baby, remember to read the chat history before speaking."
Xie Yunlan took a screenshot of the old lady's sentence "Yes, your father has a way" and sent it out.
Xie Yunshu: "Xiao Jiu has a big idea, what should be done, what should not be done, when to do something, and what not to do, he knows better than anyone else."
Xie Yunmiao: "I think blind dates are also very good. Our Xiaojiu needs to be good-looking, educated, rich and handsome. Are you afraid that you won't be able to find a good girl?"
Xie Yunxuan: "Before, my sister-in-law was still asking Xiaojiu if she had a girlfriend, thinking about introducing her natal family to him. That girl is also very good."
She is many times better than Xie Yunqian.
In the end, the old lady said: "Xiao Jiu's marriage is up to our own family, so you don't have to worry about it, Qianqian."
The phrase "our own family" directly excluded Xie Yunqian.
In terms of rank, the old lady has to be the highest.
Xie Yunlan: "Hey, I quit the group chat, let's run away in anger."
Xie Yunshu: "It doesn't matter if she retires, based on what she did back then, it's our utmost benevolence for us not to take the initiative to kick her."
As soon as this remark came out, I didn't know where the pain point was poked, and the group completely fell silent.
