After work, Xu Yizhang straightened his appearance in front of the mirror in the elevator, wearing the shoes and bag that Han Shen bought for her, and walked into the house with his head held high.
As soon as you get out of the elevator, you can hear lively voices, probably because many relatives have come to the house.
Also, it's not easy for grandma to come to the city. Several relatives together took out the nanny car with their wallets to pick her up.
This will bring everyone together at their home.
Xu Yizhang stood at the door, and behind the door were relatives of their family. She felt a little nervous, but she told herself that there was no need, and she pushed the door open with a twist of her hand.
The room was bustling with people sitting around the coffee table chatting.
She went in with a basket of fruit, and saw a beautiful woman with long hair and shorts in a T-shirt. She didn't know her, but the beautiful woman knew her, and she shouted in surprise, "Cousin!"
It turned out to be my aunt's daughter, and the relatives who came this time were my uncle, my aunt, my aunt's son, and the divorced one. There is also my sister-in-law, my uncle, their 24-year-old daughter and an 8-year-old kid.
So, the relatives are a big team, there are seven people from the two families, plus eight grandma, it is really hard for Chu Huixin to entertain so many people at once.
Xu Yizhang glanced at her blankly, and Chu Huixin who was beside her immediately said, "Your cousin Xu Meng."
Xu Yizhang nodded, said hello to her, and gave the fruit to Chu Huixin, "Mom, do you want to cut some of the fruit you bought for everyone to eat?"
"Okay, I'll cut it."
"I'll go." Xu Yizhang took the initiative to share the housework.
Chu Huixin followed into the kitchen.
Xu Yizhang said: "Mom, what's for dinner? Have you prepared it? If you haven't prepared it, ask a restaurant to bring it over? There are so many people, it's too hard for you to cook alone."
"I'm planning to eat hot pot, the soup base is boiling, and I haven't made other things yet."
"Then don't bother, I'll ask someone to bring over the processed seafood and beef, so you don't have to work, go out and chat with everyone."
Chu Huixin took a look at her, feeling that she had really grown up and would feel sorry for her mother, so she patted her head with a smile, "Yizhang, you have really grown up."
Chu Hui felt comforted from the bottom of her heart.
Xu Yizhang smiled and took out his mobile phone to arrange dinner for a group of people.
She asked a well-known hot pot restaurant to send a lot of food over, and even told them to pack the dishes. This is the purpose of people earning money. Things that can be solved with money are never hard for parents. face.
Resurrecting the whole life, Xu Yizhang relied on his own ability to live a life that made them proud in the eyes of his parents.
Seeing her talking on the phone, Chu Huixin smiled and said to relatives: "Dinner was arranged by Yizhang. She said that someone would bring over the ingredients for the hot pot. We can eat ready-made tonight."
Relatives immediately began to praise Yizhang.
Father Xu was also in a good mood, making tea for everyone with a smile.
Soon, Xu Yizhang arranged everything, changed his shoes and sat in the living room to listen to everyone talking.
As for relatives, they are the ones that you don’t see several times a year. She is familiar with her uncle and aunt, but she is relatively unfamiliar with her family. It is said that her family’s conditions are not very good, so she has been living outside the customs with her grandma. , so whenever they participated in family dinners, their family showed that they were very cramped, and my uncle was fidgeting, and he didn't even dare to smoke.
Grandma sat in the main seat, her white hair was combed into a bun, she was wearing a small dark purple floral dress, and she had a faint scent of soap on her body.
She was wearing a green bracelet, and Xu Yizhang sat beside her, reached out and touched the creases on the back of Grandma's hand, and called out, "Grandma."
At this age, she can't hear much anymore, with a black hearing aid hanging on her ear, shaking her head from side to side, trying to hear what everyone is saying, but she can't hear much.
Hearing a little sound from Xu Yizhang's side, grandma turned to look at her, and asked loudly, "Is it Yizhang?"
Grandma still remembers her.
Xu Yizhang nodded, and said loudly in her ear, "Yes, it's me, Yizhang."
"Ouch~" Grandma took her hand and ironed it to the tip of her heart, and said with a smile, "Yizhang, have you graduated from high school yet?"
Her memory is still limited to Xu Yizhang's graduation from high school.
Xu Yizhang smiled, "I graduated a long time ago, I finished college, and now I'm working."
"I'm still pregnant." My sister-in-law said in grandma's ear.
In a word, the atmosphere was instantly quiet.
Then everyone's eyes focused on Xu Yizhang's stomach.
The aunt said: "Yizhang, are you pregnant? How many months?"
Xu Yizhang said generously, "It's almost seven months."
"Then it will be born soon." After the auntie finished speaking, she glanced at Chu Huixin. Chu Huixin kept smiling, but there was a trace of bitterness in that smile. The auntie seemed to have guessed something, and turned to ask Chu Huixin, " Huixin, didn't you say that Yizhang was going to get married before? Why didn't you talk about it in the end? Is there any issue that you can't agree on?"
The man named Han Shen was very grateful for helping them popularize science and law before, but later he persuaded their son to give up custody, which indirectly offended them, so the eldest aunt felt bad in her heart.
"No." After Chu Huixin said this sentence, there was no further sentence.
The eldest aunt looked puzzled, "So you're not getting married?"
The atmosphere suddenly turned cold.
The sister-in-law and uncle looked at Chu Huixin and Xu Yizhang's faces. Just as they were about to ask something, they heard the doorbell ring.
As a junior, Xu Meng immediately ran to open the door, "The ingredients for the hot pot should have arrived, so I'll open the door."
Xu Meng opened the door, seeing that the person was a handsome guy, her face blushed immediately, "Are you delivering food?"
"no."
"Who are you looking for?"
"Xu Yizhang."
"Ah? Are you brother-in-law?" Xu Meng immediately welcomed her in, and said loudly, "Cousin, brother-in-law is here."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes turned to him.
Xu Yizhang also looked over.
Then Xu Yizhang wanted to laugh a little.
I saw Han Shen coming in from the door, with a gentle smile on his face, tall and tall, elegant and calm.
Chu Hui was stunned, then turned to Xu Yizhang, "Ah Shen? You asked him to come?"
Xu Yizhang: "No, he came by himself."
She really came here by herself, she never thought that he would come to their family dinner.
"Who is this? Yizhang's husband?" The sister-in-law could not hide her curiosity, her eyes were fixed on Han Shen, she looked at him for a long time, and then praised, "You look so good-looking."
"Didn't you say you won't get married?" The eldest aunt looked surprised.
Just as Chu Huixin was about to say something, Xu Yizhang took the words, "My mother didn't say no to getting married, what my mother said was that there were no issues we couldn't agree on before."
Chu Huixin glanced at Xu Yizhang.
Xu Yizhang smiled, his eyes fell on Han Shen's face, with a smile on his face.
Chu Huixin felt something all of a sudden, she was stunned, and looked at Xu's father, Xu's father also noticed that there was something unusual between them, shook his head at Chu Huixin, and told her not to ask anything.
Chu Huixin didn't speak anymore, but she couldn't hide her excitement. While everyone was talking, she was the only one who lowered her head, with tears streaming from the corners of her eyes unconsciously.
She didn't expect... In her lifetime, she could still see her daughter and Han Shen reconciled as before.
I thought it was hopeless.
As a result... there is another village where the willows are dark and the flowers are bright.
OK, that's great.
"Brother-in-law is so handsome!" Xu Meng said happily.
Xu Yizhang laughed, "It's okay."
"But my sister is also beautiful." Xu Meng's flattery was in the right position, "You both look good, so it suits you!"
Everyone laughed together.
The cousin said to Han Shen: "Come here, sit down."
Compared with his parents, his cousin has a lot of respect for Han Shen. Before he divorced, Han Shen enlightened him a lot. Although the child is with his mother now, he is also doing well. He feels that the previous decision was very correct.
So after Han Shen sat down, his cousin pulled him to ask about family affairs. After a calm conversation, the relatives got to know him roughly, and looked at him with more sincere admiration.
Father Xu looked at all this, and the haze that had been lingering in his heart for a long time was swept away.
After Han Shen had a brief chat with everyone, he naturally sat next to Xu Yizhang and held her hand.
Chu Huixin looked at it and immediately laughed.
It was Xu Yizhang himself, who was a little awkward, being held by Han Shen in front of everyone, and the strings in his heart were always tense.
