Chapter 1256 Jiang Li was almost blackmailed
The Xi family lives in the innermost part of the compound. The environment is quiet and the small courtyard covers a large area. It is indeed a long distance from the entrance of the compound.
"Oh well."
Took Xi Chenyu's sleeves and sat Xuanxuan back on the sofa.
Gao Xinyue said nothing.
Mr. Gao was confused and couldn't help asking Mr. Xi: "Does the sister Guoguo mentioned by Xiaoyu and Xuanxuan refer to Mr. Jiang Boya's granddaughter?"
“Yes, Guoguo is a nickname, and the child’s nickname is Luo Mingxi.”
Xi Lao responded with a smile.
Mr. Gao: "So...the Aunt Jiang mentioned in Xiao Yu's mouth is Mr. Jiang Boya's daughter?"
Xilao nodded: "That's right."
There was the sound of a car stopping at the entrance of the courtyard.
“Aunt Jiang and the others are here, Xi Chenyu, let’s go to the gate of your courtyard quickly.”
Sneaked off the sofa again, and walked Xuanxuan and Xi Chenyu out of the living room with their short legs.
After a while, the sound of Guo Guo's milk could be heard in the yard: "Brother Xi, my fourth brother and my fifth brother are not late, are we?"
Xi Chenyu: “No.”
Guoguo: "I checked the time before I left! By the way, brother Xi and sister Xuanxuan, this is my mother, you all know her, but this is my eldest brother, you haven't seen her before, so you can get to know her now."
“Hello.”
Mingrui smiled slightly and greeted Xi Chenyu and Jiang Xuanxuan, two little carrot heads.
“Xiao Jiang is here, come and sit in the living room.”
At the door of the living room, Mr. Xi saw Jiang Li walking over and Mingrui carrying two big bags of fruit. He couldn't help but said: "You are such a kid. With the relationship between me and your grandfather, you can come home." , I’m already very happy, what should I bring!”
This was naturally said to Jiang Li.
“I happened to meet a fruit seller on the road, so I bought some at random. It’s not worth much. I hope you don’t feel shabby.”
Jiang Li smiled and walked into the living room with Mr. Xi. When she saw Mr. Gao, she greeted him politely: "Hello."
Mr. Gao responded with a smile and a slight nod.
“Lao Gao, do you need me to introduce you?”
Mr. Xi asked Mr. Gao with a smile. Hearing this, Mr. Gao shook his head: "I have seen Comrade Jiang Li on TV and in newspapers. She is an excellent athlete in our country."
“Then do you know her other identity?”
Xi Lao asked with a smile.
Mr. Gao looked gentle. He looked at Guoguo and Tangyuan, and then said: "Comrade Jiang Li is also the daughter of Mr. Jiang Boya and the lover of Academician Luo."
He really didn't expect that the extremely beautiful woman in front of him was not only an outstanding national athlete, but also the wife of Academician Luo, and she had such a kinship with the Jiang family.
At this moment, recalling what Wang Xiaohui had done before, Mr. Gao felt more and more that his younger daughter-in-law was stupid.
You bully others without first finding out what kind of social relationship the other party has!
Jiang Li did not stay long at Xi's house.
The reason?
She and Wu Yue had made an appointment to go shopping in the department store together, so she drove Mingrui and the three dumplings to Xi's house, and then went to Wu Yue's house to pick them up.
As for why Mingrui came to Xi's house with the three dumplings, it was simply because Jiang Li was worried about the three little ones. Well, Mingrui, the eldest brother, wasn't worried either, so he offered to keep the three dumplings company.
What I want to say is that after Jiang Li drove Mingrui and the three dumplings away, Minghan and Mingwei regretted it. Minghan regretted that she should not have made an appointment with her classmates to play ball yesterday, and Mingwei regretted that she should not I went to the library to read with my good friend Song Xiaoran. In short, the two brothers and sisters were so regretful that they felt that they could not accompany the three dumplings to protect the safety of their younger brothers and sisters. elder sister).
Jiang Li undoubtedly found this funny and bluntly said that Minghan and Mingwei were playing tricks.
Mingrui glanced at them coldly, scaring them so much that they immediately behaved themselves and did not dare to continue to cause trouble in front of Jiang Li and Tuanzi.
After bidding farewell to Mr. Xi and Mr. Gao, and giving a few words to Mingrui and Tuanzi, Jiang Li drove away, but just as he was about to leave the gate, a figure suddenly staggered and fell to the ground.
Had Jiang Li not stepped on the brakes in time, the figure who fell to the ground would have been run over by the wheels of the car.
In such a situation, even if it has nothing to do with Jiang Li, out of humanitarian spirit, it is necessary for Jiang Li to get out of the car and take a look.
In fact, the moment he saw that figure, Jiang Li recognized who the other person was - Feng Lu.
That’s right, the figure that fell to the ground was Feng Lu.
This person got off the bus. His feet were swollen, his expression was dazed, and his overall complexion was particularly bad.
“Lulu! Lulu, what’s wrong with you?”
Just when Jiang Li got off the car and was about to walk to Feng Lu, Fang Su hurried over from the sidewalk on one side. She helped Feng Lu and leaned against her arms, her eyes full of anxiety and uneasiness.
Feng Lu opened her eyes with difficulty. She shook her head in Fang Su's arms: "Aunt Fang, I...I'm fine..."
But Fang Su didn't think so. When she saw Jiang Li, she asked without thinking: "Is it related to you that my Lulu fell to the ground?"
She then asked again: "Why are you here?"
Before Jiang Li could say anything, one of the comrades on duty stepped forward to testify for Jiang Li, saying that Feng Lu's fainting had nothing to do with Jiang Li.
Fang Su didn’t believe it, but she also knew that the comrade on duty would not lie. In the end, she glared at Jiang Li fiercely and ordered the comrade on duty who commanded Jiang Li to testify to help her carry Feng Lu back to Feng’s house.
There was no "obstacle" in front of the car. Jiang Li got back into the car, blinked for a moment, and drove away.
She didn't take Fang Su's accusation to heart at all, as if she hadn't heard anything and her mood was not affected at all.
“Old Xi…”
After Jiang Li bid farewell to Xi Lao and drove away, Xi Chenyu took three dumplings and Jiang Xuanxuan upstairs to read a book. Gao Xinyue followed him. Behind the little guys, Mingrui was the "guard".
Seeing that he and Mr. Xi were the only ones left in the living room, Mr. Gao couldn't help but glance towards the second floor, and then there was some doubt in his eyes: "Did you find anything?"
…”
Mr. Xi didn’t understand.
Mr. Gao lowered his voice: "The young man who just introduced himself as Luo Mingrui, don't you think he looks similar to the boss of the Xiao family?"
“Xiao Jin?”
Seeing Mr. Gao nod, Mr. Xi instantly understood what the other party meant, but there was no strangeness on his face. He said calmly: "There are many people who look alike in the world. You shouldn't be thinking about some of them." Bar?"
"That's what you said! Why am I thinking about something? Can't you see that that boy looks exactly like Xiao Jin, especially his eyebrows and eyes, which are exactly the same as Xiao Jin's."
Mr. Gao found it strange. He couldn't understand why Mingrui looked so similar to Xiao Jin.
“When did you become a woman with a broken mouth?”
Xi Lao seemed to say casually: "If I remember correctly, Comrade Luo Yanqing's ex-in-law's family is the Feng family. If you follow your words, aren't you talking about the daughter of the old Feng family..."
Out of caution, Mr. Xi did not say the last four words, but Mr. Gao knew what Mr. Xi was going to say. He was startled for a moment, and then waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't accuse me wrongly. I definitely didn't think that way, let alone Didn’t say that.”
Speaking of which, the Xiao family and the Feng family both live in this compound, but compared to the Xi family and the Gao family who live in the back of the compound, the Feng family and the Xiao family are located slightly further forward.
But it is in the middle and behind.
This implicitly shows that in this compound, the further inward the residence is, the higher the status of the head of the family is.
Because the deeper you live, the quieter the environment, and the more suitable it is for elderly people who like tranquility to live at home.
In other words, among Mr. Xi and Mr. Gao, as well as Mr. Feng and Mr. Xiao, Mr. Xi undoubtedly has the highest status and status, followed by Mr. Gao, and then Mr. Feng and Mr. Xiao.
Mr. Xi looked at Mr. Gao and said in a calm tone: "You didn't say that, but you mentioned that Comrade Luo Yanqing's eldest son looks similar to the eldest son of the Xiao family."
“Okay, okay, I said the wrong thing.”
Mr. Gao sneered, but he said: "I have heard that the daughter of the Feng family likes the second son of the Xiao family."
“That’s what happened.”
Lao Xi nodded: "But the second boy of the Xiao family and the little girl of the Qin family came together."
Seeing that Mr. Gao was silent for a long time and seemed to be thinking about things again, Mr. Xi's brows twitched and he couldn't help but ask: "Are you trying to say that the child looks like the second son of the Xiao family again?"
Mr. Gao was embarrassed. He coughed twice, waved his hands, and said uncomfortably: "No, no, how old am I? I'm not a girl. What are you talking about?!"
Mr. Xi remained silent and listened to Mr. Gao continue: "But I heard my wife mention it three months ago. She said that the daughter of the Feng family came back to life. What do you think of this?"
“Unclear.”
The implication is that if he doesn’t understand the situation, he has no right to speak.
Mr. Gao twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a snort: "Let's talk some gossip and see if you are serious."
“Who doesn’t have something bad going on? If we are talking about others here, maybe others at home are also talking about our own families.”
Mr. Xi didn't know anything about the Feng family. What's more, Feng Lu lost her unborn child due to Han Qian and had her uterus removed. She stayed at the Feng family for more than a day or two. It was a long stay. Who could ensure that no one would go there? Visiting the Feng family?
And once someone comes to visit and Feng Lu "dies" and then lives again, even if this person doesn't know the details, how can he guess anything?
Then, when chatting with others, you can bring out one or two sentences, almost without any suspense.
Otherwise, how could Mr. Gao hear about the fact that Feng Lu "died and came back to life" from Mrs. Gao? And Mr. Xi was not surprised at all when Mr. Gao mentioned that Feng Lu had come back to life.
This shows that there are probably many people in the compound who know about Feng Lu's "death" to his resurrection.
Today, Feng Lu openly returned to Feng’s house in broad daylight. Without thinking too much, everyone in the entire compound should soon know about it.
Second floor.
“Brother Xi, I envy you so much. You have so many short stories!”
The Xi family has a reading room specifically for their children. Therefore, it can be said that the books in this reading room were accumulated by Xi Chenyu's brothers, which naturally attracted Guoguo's surprised eyes.
Xi Chenyu: "Take it if you like, I'll give it to you."
Guoguo shook her head: "No, no, my grandfather set up a reading room for me and my brothers in the old house. There are many books on the bookshelves inside. In addition, my mother also set up a reading room for me in our big house. I set up a reading room with my brothers. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my eldest brother, fourth brother and fifth brother.”
"Um."
Mingrui and Tangyuan nodded in unison when Xi Chenyu looked at them.
“You don’t have so many little books at home. I have a lot. I’ll give you some that are nothing.”
Hearing what Xi Chenyu said, Guoguo responded with a sweet voice: "My family doesn't have so many little people's books, but my family has many little people's books that my eldest brother, second brother and sister have read. They add up to a lot!"
After a slight pause, Guoguo pulled Xi Chenyu's hand and said, "Brother Xi, I can read a few more novels at your house now. If I want to read them again in the future, I can tell you in the kindergarten that your first Just bring me some books for school the next day. By the way, I will also bring some good books to Brother Xi!”
Xi Chenyu smiled: "Okay."
Jiang Xuanxuan said at this time: "Sister Guoguo, don't forget to bring me some good books."
Guoguo: “I won’t forget it!”
Several little ones were sitting in rows on children's chairs, with a little book in front of each of them. After a while, they all looked at it very intently.
In order to make it easier for the children at home to read, the parents of the parents prepared children's tables and chairs in the reading room, spread thick carpets on the floor, and wrapped all the edges and corners of the seats with cotton pads to prevent the children from being bumped or injured.
The bookshelves also have special bookshelves for children. At the age of three dumplings, they can reach out from the top shelf to pick up their favorite books with their feet on the ground.
Mingrui was also reading a book at the moment. He leaned against the adult desk beside him and flipped through the pages page by page. From time to time, he raised his eyes to look at the three dumplings. The corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and his eyes were gentle and doting. If someone comes to the reading room on the second floor now, Seeing this scene, you will definitely sigh, "The years are quiet and peaceful."
I don't know how much time passed, but Gao Xinyue felt that reading was boring. She wanted to go to the living room to find Mr. Gao, but she was unwilling to separate from Xi Chenyu like this. So, she moved her mouth, stood up and came behind Xi Chenyu, He stretched out his index finger and poked Xi Chenyu's back: "Brother Chen Yu! Brother Chen Yu, let's go downstairs to play!"
Xi Chenyu frowned. He hated people interrupting his reading. He couldn't help turning his head to look at Gao Xinyue: "You can go alone."
…”
Gao Xinyue pursed her lips and her eyes instantly filled with tears: "I want to be with Brother Chen Yu, can't I?"
There is a "pop" sound.
This was the sound of Xuanxuan slapping the table. The little girl stood up angrily, her eyes widened, and said to Gao Xinyue: "You are very annoyed, do you know? We are all reading here. You have a lot of things to do. If you want to play, go downstairs and play by yourself. Don’t disturb us here while we read the novel!”
“Jiang Xuanxuan, I didn’t talk to you!”
Gao Xinyue's voice was not loud, but her tone was full of grievances, as if she had been bullied by Xuanxuan.
“You didn’t talk to me, but I hate hearing you talk!”
Pointing Xuanxuan to the door: "If you want to leave, leave quickly. Don't disturb us here again!"
After enduring it again and again, Gao Xinyue finally couldn't hold it back and opened her mouth to cry loudly.
Hearing the cry of his precious granddaughter from upstairs, Mr. Gao couldn't sit still and hurriedly got up to the second floor.
Xi Lao followed closely behind.
This is in his own home, something happened between the children, and he, the master, cannot ignore it.
More than ten minutes later, Mr. Gao left the Xi family with Gao Xinyue in his arms, while Mingrui brought three dumplings and two children, Xi Chenyu and Jiang Xuanxuan, to the first floor.
“Sister Guoguo, let’s go, I’ll take you for a walk in our compound.”
Taking Guoguo's hand, Jiang Xuanxuan took Xiao Guoguo towards the door of Xi's living room. The dumplings and glutinous rice **** naturally walked behind Jiang Xuanxuan and Guoguo. Xi Chenyu saw this and stared at Jiang Xuanxuan's back. After watching for a while, he said hello to Mr. Xi and hurriedly chased him out.
Mingrui was naturally worried that the three dumplings would be taken out by Xuanxuan like that. After all, Xuanxuan was only a little bigger than the three dumplings. Even with Xi Chenyu by his side, he was still a little kid.
He smiled and spoke to Mr. Xi, stepped forward with his long legs, and soon caught up with the five little guys.
Jiang Xuanxuan is a good guide. She will introduce Guoguo and Tangyuan wherever she goes. Xi Chenyu will help fill in any places where the introduction is not in place.
Five little cubs walking together, they look so cute, and many passers-by came to make them laugh.
But when their eyes fell on Mingrui's face, these passers-by were almost stunned for a moment. One of them didn't even come back to his senses after Mingrui followed the five little guys away.
…
Xiao family.
“You didn’t go to visit, why did you come back so soon?”
Father Xiao was sitting in the living room reading the newspaper. He heard hurried footsteps entering the living room. He looked away from the newspaper and looked at Xiao's mother in confusion.
Yes, it was Xiao’s mother who walked into the living room, the mother of brothers Xiao Jin and Xiao Shen.
“Old Xiao!”
Xiao's mother gasped for breath. She took a sip from Xiao's father's water glass and said, "Guess what I just saw outside!"
…”
Father Xiao felt confused. How could he guess?
“I didn’t follow you out, how could I guess?”
With a slight embarrassment on her face, Xiao’s mother said, “Okay, my words were wrong.”
Pursing her lips, she calmed down and spoke again: "I saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in our compound. Who do you think he looks like?"
Putting down the newspaper in his hand, Xiao's father looked helpless and said casually: "You don't mean to say that the boy looks like the eldest and second eldest son of our family, right?!"
Hearing this, Xiao's mother extended a thumbs up to Xiao's father: "Old Xiao, you are so amazing. You can guess all this. However, that boy is not very similar to the second child, but he is more or less similar to our eldest brother. , do you think this is amazing?”
father Xiao: “…”
The fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy looks a lot like his elder brother. Is this a coincidence or is there some unknown reason?
Thinking like this, Xiao's father couldn't help but think of an incident more than ten years ago. The eldest son Xiao Jin suddenly proposed to him that he wanted to be transferred to a small county in a remote area to work. I was afraid that it had something to do with the little girl from the Feng family, but I quickly felt that it was impossible and didn't think about it further.
Only because he has confidence in the character of his eldest son.
So, without saying anything more, he took advantage of the work transfer so that the eldest son could go to the grassroots level to get some good training for a few years, and then transfer him back to work in Beicheng.
But what the old wife just said made him uncontrollably replay the events of his early years in his mind.
The little girl of the Feng family has liked the second youngest of his family since she was a child. He even joked with Lao Feng and arranged for the two children to be married. However, the second youngest of his family did not like the little girl of the Feng family. As the two grew older, As time went by, Xiao Shen, the second eldest child, became more and more unkind to the little girl from the Feng family. Instead, he fell in love with the little girl from the Qin family who was always running behind the little girl from the Feng family. Not counting.
Naturally, he had an issue with the Feng family. After all, marriage is not enmity. He couldn't force the little girl of the Feng family and the second son of the Feng family to get together just because his son didn't like it. Girl.
Therefore, the baby's marriage was canceled by both families, but accidentally he found that the eldest son looked at the little girl from the Feng family something was wrong, and then... the second son accompanied the little girl from the Qin family to live in the countryside. That day he returned home from get off work and walked into the living room. , he saw the little girl from the Feng family running down the second floor of his house with red and swollen eyes. After a while, she saw the eldest son hurriedly downstairs.
He called to the eldest son and asked what happened, but the eldest son said nothing.
Later, he mentioned this matter to his wife, and his wife concluded that the little girl from the Feng family had probably learned that his second son had accompanied the little girl from the Qin family to live in the countryside. She didn't want to believe it, so she came to their house to confirm. , Unexpectedly, the boss told him that the news was true, and he couldn't bear the shock for a while, so he ran out of their house crying.
He believed it, but unexpectedly, within two days the eldest son asked for a job transfer.
Almost instantly, he thought of what he saw when he came home from get off work that day and walked into the courtyard gate. He also thought of the way his eldest son had looked at the little girl of the Feng family, and he couldn't help but think about it.
He and his wife both knew that the eldest son had a good character. Based on this, he cut off his thoughts in time and stopped himself from thinking about it.
But at this moment, his wife suddenly mentioned such a young man, which forced him to think about old things again... If he remembered correctly, the little girl from the Feng family had a strong smell of alcohol when she ran away from him.
The odor of alcohol on the eldest son Xiao Jin's body was very light. It didn't look like he had been drinking, but rather he seemed to have been contaminated by the little girl from the Feng family.
“Old Xiao, you can’t say a word!”
Before Xiao’s father could speak for a long time, Xiao’s mother looked displeased: “Aren’t you curious at all?”
“What are you curious about?”
He can't say anything until things are clear. When things become clear later... I'm afraid he won't be able to say anything!
Father Xiao was worried and felt that it was necessary to ask his eldest son to go back to the compound so that they could have a good chat.
“I really don’t know what to say to you!”
Xiao's mother gouged out Xiao's father and said: "The second child can suddenly have a son, maybe the eldest brother..."
Here we have to mention Xiao Shen. In recent years, he has been forced to marry by Xiao's mother many times. He didn't want his old mother to continue to worry about his marriage, so Xiao Shen could only tell the story about him and Luo Xue, and tell Xiao's mother that Luo Xue Xue gave birth to a son for him and brought Ron home to show his father and mother Xiao, explaining that he already had his own child and marriage was completely unnecessary for him.
Met two good women in his life, both of whom died in childbirth because they gave birth to his children. Xiao Shen felt that he owed them both so much that he really had no intention of starting a family.
The only thing he wants to do in his lifetime is to watch his son Ron grow up healthy and safe, and watch his only son get married and have children, so as to comfort the girl who silently loves him and regardless of worldly prejudices, risked her life to give birth to his son. Son.
Father Xiao looked solemn and interrupted Mother Xiao: "Comrade Zhang Rong, your idea is very dangerous!"
Then catch the insects. . .
