According to Lao Lin's past grocery shopping rules, if he didn't blindly accommodate Xiao Zheng's taste, it meant that guests were coming.
"What a distinguished guest this is." Xiao Zheng was carrying large and small bags. asked with a smile.
Lin Huayin pursed her lips and said, "Dong Bijun."
"—"
Xiao Zheng put the ingredients in the trunk and drove home.
The agreed dinner time was eight o'clock, but Dong Bijun and his daughter arrived before seven o'clock. He arrived home only fifteen minutes later than Xiao Zheng and the others. The original plan of helping Lao Lin fell through, so he had to make tea, bring snacks, and chat with Mr. Dong Bi.
"Xiao Zhu, why don't you help your sister?" Xiao Zheng glared at Lin Xiaozhu, who was sitting next to him chattering.
"Oh." Lin Xiaozhu stuck out his tongue and quickly got into the kitchen.
Dong Bijun looked at the way his daughter got along with Xiao Zheng. In my heart, I was secretly envious.
Over the years, she has only cared about satisfying her inner desires and realizing unrealistic ambitions in the name of her daughter. In the end, she has never been cautious about her daughter's heart, which she should really pay attention to.
On the contrary, Xiao Zheng, the brother-in-law, was always concerned about his daughter's mental condition. Give them meticulous care.
"Azheng. I wanted to come and see you earlier. But I heard that you have been very busy since returning to China, so I didn't have the nerve to bother you." Dong Bijun said gently.
Some time ago, Xiao Zheng was really busy. After returning to China, he was even entertained by several big shots. Although there are some things that cannot be discussed openly. But through the attitudes and words of the big guys, Xiao Zheng was basically sure that he had successfully attracted the attention of the big leaders.
This is a good thing, but from a certain perspective, it also limits him.
Xiao Zheng was lazy by nature, and he was able to get to where he is today, partly because of his willpower and ambition, and mostly because of Lao Lin's promotion. Even so, Xiao Zheng also realized that he was getting closer to the unreasonable hero. That's not good, at least it's not the life that Xiao Zheng wants.
If people are ruthless, they are no different from vegetation.
Xiao Zheng was originally a very emotional man, and it was too tiring for him to live with a straight face and airs all day long. If there are too many intrigues, one’s mental age will get older easily.
In his mind, Lu Dashan's idle life during the Mingzhu period was the perfect state. In addition, whether it is Lin Laoyao who is at the peak of his power, Shang Jingtian who has been dormant for many years, or Bai Wuxia who is pure and stoic but deeply affectionate, they are not the life Xiao Zheng longs for.
"Aunt Dong, you are serious. I have nothing to do. I just do the same things every day. If you want to see me and Huayin, just make a phone call. You don't have to come to the door in person." Xiao Zheng said with a smile on his face.
Dong Bijun smiled, shook his head slightly and said, "Azheng, you saved Aunt Dong's life. If you continue to be so unfamiliar, you will look out of touch."
Xiao Zheng hurriedly raised his teacup to greet Mr. Dong Bi: "Everything is up to you."
After a pause, he changed the topic and said, "Aunt Dong, your life has been relatively comfortable recently?"
This is a bit probing.
After all, she had made mistakes, even if she was forced to do so, but if she didn't have ulterior motives, how could Tang Qingshan take advantage of her
The reason why Xiao Zheng decided to help her was largely because he hoped that Lin Xiaozhu could live in a peaceful family environment. At least that's the surface.
Lao Lin has been forced to become a female robot. He didn't want Xiaozhu to make the same mistake again.
"Very good." Dong Bijun nodded with a smile, a hint of gratitude in his eyes. "Xiao Zhu also agreed to go home. This period of time is probably the most comfortable Aunt Dong has lived in the past five years."
Xiao Zheng felt relieved after hearing this.
Even though his relationship with the Lin family was extremely complicated, no honest official could pronounce the verdict. But Xiao Zheng is still willing to work hard to maintain this superficial harmony.
Whether it's for Lao Lin or Xiao Zhu.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very pleasant, and Lao Lin didn't look at Dong Bijun at all. The two sisters drank some wine and talked about non-work topics. Xiao Zhengze is mainly responsible for accompanying Dong Bijun. After eating the whole dinner, Xiaozhu actually drank too much. Probably everyone gets drunk even if they are not drunk.
After drinking and eating, the four of them watched TV in the living room and ate some fruit. Mr. Dong Bi called for the driver. Get up and say goodbye.
"Azheng, Huayin, please come and sit at home when you have time. This will also give Auntie a chance to show off her skills." Dong Bijun did not go into some words. But even Xiao Zheng knew that the Lin family, where Old Demon Lin lived, was very cold and lonely.
Mr. Dong Bi is a sinner, and he neither dares nor has the right to take the initiative to chat with Mr. Lin on some tender topics.
She is not afraid of loneliness. After accompanying Lin Laoyao all the way over the years, she was used to being lonely and deserted. She just felt a little sorry for Old Yao Lin. She obviously has two daughters at her knees. But no one was close to him.
Did he fail
He is more successful than anyone else.
But he lived a boring life that was lonely to the core.
"Well, I will definitely go when I have time." Xiao Zheng replied for Lao Lin. He personally escorted the mother and daughter into the car.
After helping Lao Lin clear away the dishes, the two went upstairs to take a shower. It was already eleven o'clock at night when I lay down.
After a short silence, Lin Huayin said softly: "You did a good thing."
"That's because you and your mother-in-law are generous. Otherwise, I wouldn't dare to do this." Xiao Zheng said softly.
Before making up his mind, Xiao Zheng consulted Ye Yuhua's attitude. Otherwise, he really wouldn't dare to make the decision without authorization.
Lin Huayin didn't say anything, but gently held Xiao Zheng's rough palm and said softly: "I went to Ye Mansion last week, and grandpa praised you with excitement. He said you were bloody, which gave China a bad breath."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, he said humbly: "Mr. Ye loves the house and the bird. Otherwise, the old man would not be interested in caring about me."
"Don't underestimate yourself." Lin Huayin pursed her lips and said. “A job well done is a job well done.”
Xiao Zheng smiled and felt that Lao Lin was quite talkative tonight. Gently hold her waist. He said softly: "Let's go visit Mr. Ye another day. I haven't played chess for too long, and my chess skills are rusty."
"Yes." Lin Huayin nodded lightly and closed her beautiful eyes.
Xiao Zheng wanted to say something more, but saw that Lao Lin seemed a little tired. He didn't speak again, he just pressed against her warm body and closed his eyes to rest.
"Azheng."
In the dark night, Lao Lin's cold voice suddenly sounded.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Xiao Zheng opened his eyes and looked at Lin Huayin by his ear.
"As a wife, am I not qualified at all?" Lin Huayin tilted his head slightly and looked at Xiao Zheng.
Xiao Zheng was a little confused. But in just a moment, he hugged Lao Lin distressedly: "Don't belittle yourself. You are the most virtuous and outstanding wife in the world."
Lin Huayin's eyes flashed, and the corners of his lips curved slightly: "Next Saturday is my ovulation period."
When Xiao Zheng heard this, his expression froze at first, and then he hugged her tighter, but was speechless. He just buried his head in Lin Huayin's hair.
