The next day.
Very early in the morning.
Dong Xuebin woke up at seven o'clock. In the past few days, he went to bed late and got up early every day to work. This habit has been somewhat developed, so even though he was tossing with his newlywed wife last night until after twelve o'clock, Dong Xuebin still woke up early. When he woke up, he looked at Xie Huilan who was sleeping soundly next to him. Dong Xuebin picked up the thin quilt under her bare shoulders and covered her with it. Then he climbed out of the quilt gently and carefully, got out of bed and put on his shoes. He left the bedroom without making a sound and went to the kitchen downstairs to make breakfast for Xie Huilan.
Make porridge.
Spread the eggs.
Even though Dong Xuebin is busy with all the work at home, Dong Xuebin feels very fulfilled in his heart, not tired at all, and even quite happy. It’s not bad to live an ordinary life with his wife every day. Wait. Let's take down the deputy director this time. After the deputy director comes down, he may really have to take some time off to enjoy life. His wife and children are on the hot bed. He yearns for this kind of life more and more.
After a while.
"Huilan! Huilan!" Dong Xuebin shouted to the upstairs.
After mumbling for a long time, Xie Huilan walked downstairs sleepily, covered her mouth and yawned: "Breakfast is ready? Phew, you said you could sleep a little longer."
Dong Xuebin said: "Wash up."
Xie Huilan nodded and went to the bathroom on the first floor to brush her teeth and wash her face.
At this time, Dong Xuebin's cell phone rang. He grabbed it and saw that it was his mother-in-law Han Jing. He quickly put the phone to his ear and said, "Mom."
Han Jing said: "Are you up?"
"I'm up, I'm about to have breakfast." Dong Xuebin.
Han Jing hummed, "Did you hear what Huilan said?"
Dong Xuebin was startled, "Ah? What did you say?"
"Didn't she tell you? This kid." Han Jing said helplessly: "Call Huilan. She said she would go to your county in the next two days, so I asked her to convey it to you."
Dong Xuebin said: "Huilan is brushing her teeth. Mom, what's the matter?"
Han Jing thought for a while, "You can ask Huilan later. Mom can't tell me clearly on the phone."
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said: "No, please tell me quickly. I am a serious person. I don't understand where I can eat. Doesn't this make me anxious?"
Han Jing also smiled, "It's Xiaoran's business."
there. Xie Huilan leaned out from the bathroom, wiped her face with a towel and said, "My mother? Well, I'll just tell you."
Han Jing said on the phone: "Well, let Huilan talk, it's not a particularly urgent matter anyway. If you are busy over there, forget it, but I heard that you have just completed a beautiful investment promotion work over there? Are you busy? You should be able to rest for a few days after such a long time, right? You should come back when you have time."
The phone was hung up.
Dong Xuebin still didn't understand what was going on. "What's wrong with Xiaoran?"
Xie Huilan put the towel on the chair and sat down to eat. "Let's talk while eating. Well, the family knows about Xie Ran and Fang Shuiling. The two have been in love for almost a year. They can't hide it even if they want to. , not only our family, but also the Fang family knows about it. "
Dong Xuebin said: "What then?"
Xie Huilan caught it. Chew the egg. Said: "What else can I do? Then, of course I didn't agree. This happened a few days ago. You were busy recruiting investment at that time. I called your boy to say this, but it turns out that you are very busy. I didn’t say anything about it. I don’t know about the Fang family. Anyway, Xiaoran’s parents were firmly opposed to it. Xiaojing’s incident originally made them unhappy. Later, they saw that Sun Kai had the courage to save others even at the risk of his own life. The quality is relaxed. Xiaojing and Sun Kai's love relationship is accepted by default, but Xiaoran is different here. After all, he is the eldest grandson of the third generation of our family, and his marriage is more important in the family, with political considerations. I have considered it. There is no problem with Xiaoling. Her family background is similar to ours, so she is a good match. But you also know the relationship between the Fang family and our family. They are incompatible. If Xiaoling had a different surname, everyone in her family would definitely agree with it. It’s a matter of marriage, but her surname is Fang.”
Dong Xuebin blinked and said: "What happened in the end?"
Speaking of this, Xie Huilan smiled happily, "Later, Xiaoran took Xiaoling home, argued with each other, and even slapped the table and fell out with the family. This kid, I watched him grow up, and he has always been I haven't had much courage since before, lacking a little bit of determination and momentum. This time, after working at the grassroots level for so long, Xiaoran is becoming more and more impressive. Haha, your performance is better than the first time I brought you home. It wasn't much different, but the result alarmed the old man. He didn't say anything after he came down from upstairs. He directly called the old man of the Fang family in front of everyone and said, 'Old guy, let's not let go of our grudges between the older generations. It will hurt the children." I don’t know what Mr. Fang said. Anyway, our grandfather’s attitude was tacit approval. At the end, he took Xiaoling’s hand and talked for a long time with a smile. When Xiaoran’s parents saw it, There was nothing else I could say. "
Dong Xuebin was also happy for Xie Ran, "That's it?"
"It's not that simple." Xie Huilan shook her head, "I don't know the attitude of the Fang family yet. Xiaoran and Xiaoling want to get engaged. Our family has acquiesced, but the Fang family hasn't expressed its position yet, and it didn't later. If you take the initiative to say something, someone must talk about it. "
Dong Xuebin finally understood and said in astonishment: "Ah? You won't let me go, right?"
Xie Huilan smiled and said, "I'm just letting you go. Otherwise, why don't you let me go?"
"Why can't you go?" Dong Xuebin said: "You are the eldest sister."
Xie Huilan waved her hand, "I am indeed the eldest sister in the family, but how can I, a female, come forward for such a big matter? This is a marriage between two feuding families. I don't know how many people are watching. You are the one who asked me to go." After discussing it, it was also proposed by Xiaoran and Xiaoling. It took into consideration many aspects and the family also believes in your ability to handle this matter. "
Dong Xuebin said speechlessly: "But I am a son-in-law, and my surname is not Xie. I represent your family to handle such a big matter? This is even more inappropriate."
Xie Huilan said: "Just because your surname is not Xie, and you have not had any direct political conflict with the Fang family, the family feels that you are the most suitable person to come forward. Otherwise, if my father or my eldest and second uncle go to the Fang family, the previous grievances will be It has to be re-arranged, and things will get worse by then. And I heard from Xiaoling that the relationship between you and her sister-in-law is not bad now? "
Dong Xuebin smacked his lips. He was very grateful for the trust from his family, but he still felt a bit burdened and under a lot of pressure. "Then shall I return to the capital?"
"It depends on which day you have time in the past two weeks. Naturally, the sooner it can be dealt with, the better." Xie Huilan said.
