Xiao's father accepted it with a smile. He raised his glass and drank it. It was a gift in return. The little disdain he had for this seemingly overindulgent young man was erased by this glass of wine.
Shen Da Xiao shook his head and said in a steady voice: "brother Xiao, you know, one of my two sons is a teacher and the other is a dead animal. This is the only one who is smart. I want him to take over my job and become an officer under Xiao Chen's command. I also give him such a name. It's a pity that Xiao Chen is no longer in the army. No matter how my son works, he will not be able to do so. "
Xiao Guojian waved his hand. "Don't you belittle yourself? I think Congrong is a good boy. He looks like you used to."
"Isn't that right? I'm a fool. As soon as I hear that brother Xiao Chen, whom he adores most, has taken off his military uniform and made a big show in the business world, he will follow me. He has to pester me and my elder brother. You sell me my old face. " The bright light of the chandelier was reflected in the eyes of Colonel Shen. It was a bit harsh, not like his modest tone at all.
Xiao Chen said with a smile: "Uncle Shen, you are too modest. If Congrong doesn't mind, he can come to my company for a try. "
Shen sighed: "I'm really embarrassed to wait for you. I heard that Xiao's group Even the nephew of the Xiao family can't mix in without a single move. As a son, I'm afraid I'm not good enough to embarrass you. "
"Not at all." Xiao Chen looked at Shen Congrong's gloomy face: "if he wants, I can take him personally."
Two lines of vision, one gloomy, one calm, fought in the air for a long time, the slightly hostile line of vision first defeated the battle, unwilling to throw it on the table.
"Good, good." Shen Da Xiao seemed quite satisfied. He leaned back in his chair and patted his son on the back.
"Study hard and don't disgrace me."
Shen Congrong didn't answer. He grabbed the glass that steward Qin poured for him and took a big mouthful of it. It seemed that he threw the forced politeness out of the air.
Xiao Chen no longer paid attention to it, nodded a little and got up: "I'll go and have a look. It's cold outside. I'm afraid they can't stand it."
Father Xiao nodded.
Looking at Xiao Chen's leaving figure, Shen Da Xiao turned his head and said a few words in his father's ear. The smile on Xiao Fu's face disappeared. He glanced up at the drunk face of Senior Colonel Shen and uttered a few words in a deep voice.
"Old Shen, you are drunk."
"Yes, I don't drink as much as I do every day..." Say voice gradually low, unexpectedly lie on the table, sleepy appearance.
"Uncle Xiao, since my father is drunk, we won't disturb him any more. Goodbye." Shen Congrong stood up, blocked Xiao Guojian's hand and raised his voice in the direction of the front hall: "Mom, let's go."
Mrs. Shen's figure flickered, but she didn't mean to come near. She only heard her dial the driver's phone, asked the other party to stop at the door and wait, and then said, "OK. Sister Yulin, then we'll leave. "
Xiao's mother answered, "it's OK." Shen Congrong helped Shen around the front hall, nodded to Xiao's mother as a way to say goodbye, and together with Mrs. Shen, she put the man up to the door.
"Xinrui?" Shen Congrong didn't look back, shouting the name of a woman. The woman flashed out of the corner like a ghost to keep up with Shen Congrong.
Shen's family went in a hurry, but Xiao's father and Xiao's mother didn't do much to stop them. They disappeared into the night. The sound of the car motor sounded, and soon the two cars were out of hearing.
Xiao Chen found the petite figure on the swing in the back garden.
The toe that the woman hides in the cotton padded shoes is released, and there is the fine dust floating in the air, but he doesn't realize that this action has made the man squint dangerously. His eyes looked blankly at some withered flowers on the ground, and he had no idea what field he was wandering in. His unsuspecting appearance made men have a little bad taste out of thin air.
After Xiao Chen quietly turned to the swing frame, the shadow cast by his tall body was perfectly covered by the shadow of the tree. He put out his hand, covered the woman's mouth, and licked the panicked woman's white neck with the tip of his tongue.
"Wu Wu Wu!" The woman is obviously scared not clear, struggling to almost fall from the swing, and was hugged by Xiao Chen leg bend, press in his chest.
Xu Yuchu struggled with his hands and feet for a while, but he was suddenly attracted by the familiar smell on his nose and mouth. All of a sudden, his whole body relaxed and fell into the man's arms. The sense of helplessness and indignation in his eyes made the man feel tight. He quickly hugged him and coaxed him for a long time.
Just as they were leaning, they only heard the sound of the engine coming from the front door. They stopped and looked at the front hall. Then they turned their heads and looked at each other.
"They're gone?"
"It should be."
"Aren't you surprised?"
"It should be said that when I saw aunt Qiu and Mei Xinrui appear, I knew it was an embarrassing party."
Xiao Chen leaned down and closed his dexterous feet with his big hands. After ironing, he put cotton shoes on the woman.Xu Yuchu shrunk his ankle and didn't get over Xiao Chen's action. He had to let him do it and said, "how do you say that?"
"Aunt Qiu is the second wife of Senior Colonel Shen. The previous one gave birth to the eldest and second children of the Shen family. This surname Qiu is the mother of the third. In previous years, the previous wife was present at the party. This year, this one has turned the corner, but she is not very popular among the wives in the military headquarters. "
"How do you know?" It's not like Xiao Chen would inquire about such gossip.
"I said it, of course." Mother Xiao's voice came from behind.
"Mom?" Xu Yuchu busily took Xiao Chen's shoulder and stood up straight: "it's so cold, go back to the house and say."
"Nothing." Xiao's mother flicks the rattan on her side and walks to them. The maid behind her smiles and hands the sweet soup to Xu Yuchu. Xiao Chen cuts it off and feeds it to Xu Yuchu.
Mother Xiao sat down on the wooden stool brought by the servant and asked with concern, "are you ok? I didn't see how you ate just now. I'll drink more soup and have a good sleep later. "
"Thank you, mom." As soon as Xu Yuchu started, he still grasped Xiao Chen's hand and shook it, with the expression of "seeking gossip and sharing".
"Senior colonel Shen is cautious, rigid and fond of feathers. No matter how much she doesn't like to have a wife, the lady Shen has given birth to two sons for him. She is honest and can't get the position of Qiu. I think that woman has some means
"I think you have a good chat with her, eh?" Xiao's father watched the servants close the door and joined the "eight trigrams". He took two mouthfuls of the sweet soup and drank it without any wine.
Xu Yuchu's heart is murky. One or two are monsters who drink the most.
"Women, it's just time to talk about jewelry and dress. She wants to talk to me about something else, but I'm not interested. " Xiao's mother took the tea from housekeeper Qin and motioned to the other side to sit down: "it's hard for you. Let them all have a rest. You can also sit down and have a rest."
Steward Qin pondered for a moment and sat down beside his father.
