Chapter 66: (1/2)
This year’s New Year’s Eve dinner is a little colder than in previous years. Si Jing and Wei Shifeng divorced and went abroad to relax. Although Si Wanping didn’t know what Si Jing had to leave, the relationship between her and Wei Shifeng was not very good. Si Jing was so hurt that she needed to go abroad to relax, but even if she stayed in China, she would only cause trouble, and Si Wanping didn't stop it too much.
Si Yichen squatted in prison, Tao Minzhi lived in the nursing home. Last year, the Si family gradually lost a lot of people. Si Wanping superstitiously decided to worship at the temple tomorrow morning.
Among the juniors, Sun Weiang and Si Xuezhou were left, and there was also a three-year-old Si Shenqian. Si Ye called for them to sit over.
"Xuezhou will have the college entrance examination next semester? How are you prepared, are you confident?" Zheng Hongqiao asked Si Xuezhou, who was concentrating on cooking.
Si Xuezhou froze, grabbed the corner of his clothes, and said, "It's okay."
Si Yaowei patted the back of Si Xuezhou's head and said to Zheng Hongqiao: "Don't mention it, he got a mess in the final exam, he didn't inherit my **** cleverness at all."
Zheng Hongqiao smiled and relieved Si Yaowei, "It's okay, it's okay, anyway, Xuezhou is still young, so I can do my best."
"Brother-in-law, please don't tell him this. His grades are so disgusting to me. After Shen Qian goes to school, you have to keep an eye on it." Si Yaowei took a sip of wine and glanced at Si Xuezhou with disgust. .
Si Xuezhou smiled awkwardly, and suddenly lost his appetite. His mother Luo Yi sat beside him, eating her own indifferently, as if she hadn't heard her husband belittle her son.
"So I said that the child should be picked up from an early age. You couple fly around all day long. Don't care when it is time to take care of it. When the child is ambitious, it will be too late if you want to take care of it." Si Wanping said in a voice.
This is not the case with Si Jing. When she was young, she was competitive and didn’t have time to care about her children. Zheng Hongqiao was obsessed with art, and she didn’t even bother with Si Jing. When they finally remembered that Si Jing had a daughter, the child would have been crooked. Bye, I won't come back. Fortunately, Si Jing gave birth to a boy after getting married. This is the only value that Si Jing has created for Si Wanping over the years.
Si Xuezhou was full of grievance and anger. If he was bolder, he could throw his chopsticks and leave, but he didn't dare, so he could only eat silently.
Suddenly a piece of sweet and sour ribs appeared in the bowl, Si Xuezhou raised his head and met Chen Xu's clear eyes.
"This rib is good, I remember you like sweet ones." Chen Xu's plain words made Si Xuezhou's eyes flushed suddenly, trying to suppress the soreness of his throat, and said dully, "Thank you."
He lowered his head and put that piece of ribs into his mouth. The sweet and sour taste occupies the taste buds, which is what he likes.
"good to eat."
Chen Xu bravely brought the plate of sweet and sour pork ribs and put it in front of Si Xuezhou, "Then eat more."
"Shen Xu, don't get used to him too much." Si Yaowei didn't have a good impression of Chen Xu. He was a champion in the college entrance examination at a young age, but he had a promising future but learned to climb the bed. Seeing him in front of so many elders , Put a plate of spare ribs in front of his son, Si Yaowei frowned unhappy.
"It's just a plate of ribs, Sanshu, you are too serious, if you like to ask the kitchen to do it again." Chen Xu's indifferent tone made Si Yaowei more unhappy.
It's just Si Ye's plaything, and sooner or later it will be abandoned, and he really regards himself as another owner of the Si family.
His mother, Mrs. Pan, had never been so arrogant since she married into Si's family.
What Si Yaowei wanted to say, but because Si Ye was still sitting next to Chen Xu, thinking of Chen Xuzheng being favored, he finally shut up.
Si Wanping couldn't stand the anger, thinking that Chen Xu hadn't put her aunt in his eyes.
"The elders are still sitting here, so you have done this kind of thing, are there any rules?" Si Wanping's voice was a bit sharp, and it sounded particularly harsh.
Si Xuezhou trembled all over, with red eyes holding back the urge to cry, and said: "Sorry aunt, don't blame Chen Xu, it's all my fault."
"Why are you crying? Those who don't know thought that my elder was bullying you." Si Wanping frowned displeased, really looking down on the sobbing look of her boss Xuezhou.
A boy, not at all masculine.
Si Xuezhou bit his lower lip, lowered his head and dared not speak any more.
Chen Xu put down his chopsticks, looked up at Si Wanping, her eyes were a bit cold, "It's just a plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, no need for uncles and aunts to fight, if I remember correctly, the blood pressure and blood sugar of several medical examinations are high. You can’t eat these sweet and sour pork ribs. It’s a waste to put them there. The kid likes to eat them. What’s the problem with letting him eat more.”
Si Wanping and Si Yaowei were speechless and extremely embarrassed.
What more did Si Wanping want to say. Si Ye put a bowl of peeled shrimp in front of Chen Xu, slowly wiping his hands with a hot towel, "What rules do I need in my own home? Chen Xu and I were newly married to Yaner and we have lived in the world of two people."
The ins and outs of this statement made Si Wanping and Si Yaowei not daring to say more, but they kept scolding Chen Xu for being a little fairy or a vixen.
Si Ye is also true. The head of the family actually peeled the shrimp to Chen Xu by himself, and he didn't feel a loss.
Si Xuezhou squeezed his chopsticks, his eyes were hot and swelling. It was obvious that Chen Xu was about the same age as him, but he treated him as a child. He thought that Si Ye might not be so sincere with Chen Xu, but their feelings seemed to be better than this. Any couple in the family is fine.
Chen Xu ate the shrimp that Si Ye had peeled for him, and she felt sweet in her heart. Of course, she did not forget to give Si Ye his favorite dishes.
After the New Year’s Eve dinner, the family’s elders gave out red envelopes as usual. Chen Xu had already married Si Ye and no red envelopes. Sun Weiang, who was older than him, received several red envelopes as in previous years. The Si family’s custom is as long as they are not married. Chen Xu, who was only eighteen years old, had already lost the qualification to receive the red envelope.
Instead, two were sent, one to Si Xuezhou and one to Si Shenqian.
Si Xuezhou blushed and took the new year's money, "Thank you sister-in-law."
As soon as the voice fell, Chen Xu's face cooled at a speed visible to the naked eye, and she stretched out her hand and said to him, "Give it back to me."
"I was wrong, thank you Brother Xu." Si Xuezhou stuck out his tongue and took the initiative to admit his mistake.
Neither Chen Xu nor Si Ye have the habit of keeping the year old, and Si Ye is even more miserable. He has to work after the New Year's Eve. After paying the new year's money, he went back to the study to have a trans-ocean video conference.
Hazelnut: Happy New Year, sisters! I wish we can find good men in the new year!
□□: Happy New Year! I just want to chase Zhen Zhen, men don't have to.
Chen Xu also sent a happy new year with a red envelope.
Hazelnut: Fuck! Thank you dad, I'm too European, I even grabbed 88.8!
□□: I... I am autistic in the New Year.
Hazelnut: Hahahahaha! If you want to laugh me to death, you only grabbed two yuan, right?
The remaining 109.1 are all Chen Xu. Chen Xu stared at his mobile phone for a while. He seemed to be a bit lucky since he was reborn?
Hazelnut: It turns out that you are the emperor, father!
Chen Xu: You don't have to be so polite.
The trio grabbed red envelopes for a while, and Chen Xu and their band group also began to grab red envelopes. Yuan Ren was the first to give out red envelopes, and Chen Xu was the last one, and then he became the European Emperor again.
Ke Xinghao and the others called Chen Xu to treat him in the group, and Chen Xu did not refuse. The four of them made an appointment. Lu Hai complained in the group that the lead singer was not easy to find. Find someone.
Chen Xu remembered the last time he heard Zhu Yaoyuan singing in the bathroom while taking a bath in the bedroom last time. It was unexpectedly nice, so he raised a mouth in the group.
Hai Wang: Xu Zai is really a Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon by your side! The Zhu Yao you mentioned was originally impressed, and the appearance is very good! You must abduct him to me!
Apeman: I also have the impression, very handsome.
Mouse: Tsk tsk tsk, Lao Chen is Lao Chen, he is a handsome guy, and there are a lot of handsome guys around him, but unfortunately I am a straight man, otherwise I have to worry about finding a match.
Chen Xu: You think too much, even if you are bent, you still can't find a target.
Hai Wang: Mouse seems to have no accurate knowledge of why you are single.
Ape-man: In fact, the mouse is just so ugly, don't attack him like this, come on the mouse, we will definitely be able to get rid of the single in the new year!
Mouse: ...I think I want to leave the group.
Nearing twelve o'clock, Guan Qingqing sent him New Year's greetings. Since going to university, he and Guan Qingqing have rarely been in contact with each other, but her sister Guan Shuang should be in frequent contact.
Chen Xu returned her simple New Year's greetings, and the two said good night without saying a few words and stopped talking.
He used to have a pretty good relationship with Guan Qingqing, and the relationship has become so lukewarm in only half a semester. In a few years, he might become a stranger who nodded his head.
For a while, Chen Xu felt a little emotional. The relationship between people is tough and fragile. What will happen to him and Si Ye in the future? Will one day become the most familiar stranger?
He fell on the bed, thinking wildly in his head, and there was a sound of footsteps in his ears, half propped up to see that it was Si Ye.
"Are you finished?" Chen Xu's skin is very white. She has just taken a shower. She is wearing a light gray cotton and linen pajamas. His hair is pressed up and he can smell the scent of him when he gets closer. He and Si Ye The same taste.
The warm light from the top of his head shone on Chen Xu's body, dyeing his porcelain-white neck with a layer of glaze.
"Yeah." Si Ye hugged his slender waist, took the person into his arms, and Chen Xu fell into his arms, his nose was full of the smell of Si Ye, like thin snow in a pine forest. Cold and clean.
He was caught off guard by Si Ye, and subconsciously grasped Si Ye's chest clothes, "Where to go?"
Si Ye did not answer him, but took up the blanket on the sofa and wrapped him around him. He was obviously 1.78 meters tall. At this time, he was held in his arms like a child and strode to the terrace. .
The wind from the terrace blew on his face, making it a little painful, and he subconsciously retracted his face into the warm blanket.
He grabbed Si Ye's shoulders, and looked up to see the night wind blowing Si Ye's meticulous black hair into chaos. His dark eyes were like washed ink jade, glowing with a warm luster, and his handsome face was shining in the dim light of the terrace. , Half dim and half bright, the light and shadow outline a thrilling beauty.
