The next day.
It's around 7pm.
Two Audi a8Ls, one black and one silver, slowly drove into a high-end residential area in the western suburbs and parked in the yard of a villa. As soon as the car door opened, many people got out of the car one after another. Xie Huilan, Mrs. Han, Xie Jing, Xie Ran, Xia Yanzhen, etc. Most of them were the female relatives of the Xie family. Today everyone came here mainly to take a look at Xie Huilan and The new house where Dong Xuebin got married was only a day or two away from the wedding.
yard.
Xie Huilan got out of the car and said with a smile: "How is the car driving?"
Xie Jing came up and held her sister's hand, and said with a smile: "It's good, thank you, sister."
"You're welcome, haha, as long as you and Xiaoran like it." Xie Huilan said.
"More than just liking it." Xia Yanzhen said with a smile: "My two children just picked up the car yesterday and drove it around the city of Beijing." After patting the side door of the A8, Xia Yanzhen looked at Xie Huilan and said : "Huilan, when you and Xiaobin get married, I will also give you a car." The gift given to her son and daughter by Dong Xuebin and his wife was indeed a bit heavy. After Xia Yanzhen returned, she discussed it with her lover Xie Guoliang. They all thought it was quite inappropriate, so they thought about buying them something too. Xie Huilan waved her hand and said, "Auntie, please don't. Xiaobin and I bought both."
"Buy it?" Xia Yanzhen looked around, "Where's the car?"
Xie Ran said: "My sister and my brother-in-law own a Land Rover and a Porsche."
Xie Jing added: “It needs to be booked in advance, the car hasn’t arrived yet, maybe in a few days.
Xie Huilan chuckled, "The wedding is the day after tomorrow. It seems we can't have it before the wedding."
Han Jing on the side smiled and said: "Your father has never driven a Land Rover, but it's a good thing that you have driven it first and are not afraid of other people's comments."
Xie Huilan said happily: "My Xiaobin has been driving a Mercedes-Benz business since he was a grassroots employee. Later, he changed to a Cayenne and he is not afraid. What should I be afraid of?"
Han Jing said angrily: "You two are a perfect match, one is better than the other."
"Don't worry." Xie Huilan smoothed her hair. "I try not to turn it on when I'm at work."
"This is your new house?" Han Jing looked at the villa up and down and nodded with satisfaction, "Not bad."
Xie Huilan explained: "Actually, Xiao Bin bought it for his mother. We are just going to live there when we get married, and we will move out when the time comes, haha."
At this time, the door of the villa opened.
Dong Xuebin strode out. "Hey, aunt, aunt, are you here? Please come in, please come in."
Han Jing looked inside and asked, "Where are your family members?"
"Hi." Dong Xuebin said: "My mother went to buy bed sheets and quilts. She wanted to change to a red set. She just left a while ago."
Xie Huilan looked at him and complained: "My mother has high blood pressure and you always make her busy. You and your family are quite secure?"
Dong Xuebin said helplessly: "I persuaded her, but my mother refused to listen to me and she was not worried if I bought it."
Han Jing walked into the villa first, "Let's go inside and wait for the in-laws."
Xie Ran looked up and down for a long time, "Brother-in-law, how much does the house here cost?"
Dong Xuebin rubbed his nose and thought for a moment, "Oh, I really can't remember clearly. Anyway, one meter is worth tens of thousands, right? There is a discount for a set, about 20 million."
Xie Jing was surprised, "Twenty million?"
Han Jing sighed: "House prices here are not cheap."
Xie Jing blinked her eyes, and then looked at Xie Huilan with a smile, "Sister, it's me, Brother Dong, who loves you. I bought a diamond ring worth 300 million, a car worth millions, and a house worth tens of millions. I bought it right away."
Xie Huilan smiled and said: "This guy is just a nouveau riche. He has nothing but money."
Dong Xuebin complained to Han Jing: "Auntie, did you see it? She started to step on me again. She doesn't know anything else. She takes pleasure in stepping on me all day long. She never leaves her job, and I obey her. ”
Han Jing was amused, "Okay, I'll criticize her later!"
Xie Huilan narrowed her eyes and looked at Dong Xuebin, "Okay, boy, you have grown up, and you have learned how to sue Sister Xie against you?"
"I'll pour some water for you guys. Sit down quickly." Dong Xuebin snorted as he entered the room, ignored her, and immediately started organizing, making tea, water and a fruit plate.
"Brother-in-law, please take a rest, I'll come." Xie Jing grabbed it.
"No, no, no," Dong Xuebin said, "You guys are watching TV, the remote control is on the sofa."
"Oh, why are you so polite to me?" Xie Jing refused and insisted on helping.
"You're not polite, you sit down and go, go." Dong Xuebin didn't let her touch anything, and he made her sit back down before he started pouring water.
Xia Yanzhen glanced at him and said with a smile: "Xiaobin is from Beijing, right? He grew up in an alley? Haha, you can tell at a glance."
Xie Jing looked at her mother, "You just know this? Didn't you tell me earlier that my brother-in-law is from Beijing?"
Xia Yanzhen shook her head and said: "That's not what I meant by old Beijing. Xiaojing, Xiaoran, just the two of you, in fact, strictly speaking, they are not old Beijing."
Xie Jing said speechlessly: "I was born and raised in Beijing, so who do you think I am?"
Han Jing said with a smile: "What your mother is talking about is the problem of the growing environment. You and Xiaoran were born in Beijing, but you two have never lived in a hutong. You were born in a building, not like the old Beijing ones." I grew up in such an atmosphere, so neither my accent nor my habits are that strong of Beijing. Actually, Yanzhen and I don’t count either. Among the third generation of our family, Huilan and Xiaobin are the only ones who are the real ones. In the old Beijing of Bajing, Huilan also grew up in a hutong, and you can tell by the accent. The same goes for Xiao Bin, who swallows words very well. "
Xie Jing chuckled, "That's true, and my brother-in-law is too polite."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Isn't it right to be polite? I'm not a stranger to you, I'm mainly used to it."
Xie Huilan said: "Actually, not counting the two of us, how many old Beijingers are there now? Apart from my grandfather, you can't see many of them, right?"
"That's true. Most of the alleys in Sijiucheng are now rented to people from other provinces, and the atmosphere is different from before."
While watching TV, we chatted in various directions. The living room was very lively. In addition, there were red signs with happy words posted on them that morning, and there was a sense of joy everywhere in the house.
Half an hour later.
Luan Xiaoping is back.
"Hey, in-laws."
"Are you all here? Sorry, I went to buy some things. I didn't expect you to come so soon.
"We have just arrived, Huilan, why don't you help your mother-in-law get something?"
"No, I'll do it myself while you guys sit down."
After everyone exchanged pleasantries, Han Jing and Luan Xiaoping seemed to have agreed on something in advance, and suddenly called Xie Huilan and Dong Xuebin to a bedroom upstairs.
inside the house.
Everyone sat down in the dining room. Han Jing took Xie Huilan's hand and looked at the two children with relief. "The day after tomorrow is the wedding. According to the rules, you two can't meet tomorrow, so I will say some things today." Let’s talk quickly, hehe, Xiaobin, Huilan, I am happy from the bottom of my heart that you two are getting married. Like Xiaoping, I haven’t had much sleep in the past two days. Every time I close my eyes, it’s your business. Bless you first. It’s not easy for you two to get to where you are today. I believe you know this better than me. Natural disasters, man-made disasters, and all kinds of hardships have made you two catch up. I believe that compared to others, you also know what cherishing is, so Ah, live a good life, big storms are coming, no matter how young couples quarrel or quarrel in the future, you should also remember this sentence, there are no obstacles that cannot be overcome, and there are no couples who do not quarrel. "
Dong Xuebin immediately said: "Aunt, we understand."
Han Jing nodded and patted Dong Xuebin's hand, pinched Xie Huilan's palm and put it in his palm, "Today, I will leave Huilan to you. Treat her well, I am only such a daughter."
Dong Xuebin immediately expressed his position: "Auntie, don't worry."
Han Jing curled up her lips and said, "You still call me aunt?"
Dong Xuebin blushed and called out softly in embarrassment: "...Mom."
"Hey." Han Jing smiled brightly, put their hands together and squeezed them. His eyes became red for a moment, as if he was about to shed tears.
Xie Huilan patted the back of her mother's hand, "Mom, can you please stop crying? You scare us again, haha."
"I'm happy." Han Jing sniffed quickly and tilted her head with a smile, "My dear, please say a few words."
"Then... I'll tell you." Luan Xiaoping heard this and slowly took Xie Huilan's hand, "Huilan, it's his blessing that Xiaobin can marry you. This child has never had anything wrong with him since he was a child. In the good days, he has suffered a lot since his father passed away, and he blamed me. I always feel that I owe my son something, and I feel sorry for him... "
Dong Xuebin didn't like to hear it and interrupted: "Mom, what are you talking about? I owe you what I owe. How can there be any reason for parents to owe their children? What can you say to me that you are sorry for? Look at you."
"Let mom finish." Luan Xiaoping moved her body, took Xie Huilan's hand and said: "Huilan, just now your mother handed you over to my son, and now I will hand over my son to you, Xiaobin. , act impulsively and never care about the consequences, but people are not evil-minded. I know this. You are many years older than him, more sensible than him and more mature than him. When we live together in the future, you should take more care of him and take care of him in everything. Give him some slack and don't treat him the same way if anything happens."
Xie Huilan solemnly said: "Don't worry."
"I feel at ease with you by his side." Luan Xiaoping looked at her son, "You too, treat Huilan well in the future. If I know you bully her, mom will never spare you!"
"I know." Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly, thinking, "Do I dare to bully her?" If she doesn't bother me, I'll burn the incense!
"Huilan, you also know my phone number." Luan Xiaoping said: "If this kid does something stupid in the future, tell me and I will deal with him!"
Xie Huilan laughed and said, "Okay, Mom."
"Yeah!" Luan Xiaoping was also very happy to be called mother, "Good boy!"
After a long conversation and formal instructions, it really felt like a family.
