Early in the morning, Chi Sen came back from the hospital, looking a little tired. He brought breakfast. When he walked in, he saw four children staying in the dining room eating, chattering non-stop. When they saw him coming back, they all turned around to say hello.
Yu Xueqin didn't seem to have slept well. She glanced at her husband and said a little tiredly: "I'm back. You must be tired. Let's have some breakfast and rest."
"I bought breakfast." Chi Sen sighed, looking a little tired. "When I came back, I drank a bowl of porridge outside. I wasn't hungry, but just wanted to take a nap. Lao Meng had been struggling all night last night, and his condition had some ups and downs. It’s really pitiful to look at. Alas, when a person gets old, he is really useless, and when he gets sick, he has to endure it.”
Yu Xueqin was stunned and finished her meal in silence. She packed up the food bowls that her children had eaten and sent them to the kitchen for washing. She stared at the running water for a long time and sighed involuntarily.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Chi Xiaowan walked into the kitchen, "I'll help you wash it. Are you feeling uncomfortable? You don't look good today. Do you want to go to the hospital?"
"It's okay," Yu Xueqin smiled and shook her head, looking at her daughter beside her. Yes, time is really unforgiving. The youngest daughter has now grown into such a delicate and charming woman. How can she not grow old? "Yes?" La, I heard one of your eldest sister’s colleagues say on the phone that day that she introduced Xiaoman to a boyfriend named Mou. Was he the one Xiaoman asked you to go on a blind date for her at breakfast that day? Did they date? Female When your children grow up, they will eventually get married. You can't always rely on your youth to waste your time carelessly. Mom doesn't want you all to stay at home and become a big problem."
Chi Xiaowan smiled softly, washed the dishes, and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry about eldest sister and the others. With their conditions, it's not too difficult to find a good husband. As long as they don't be too picky, no one will." Theirs.”
Yu Xueqin smiled and said slowly: "You are still young, how do you understand that when a man is looking for a wife, he does not necessarily have to find a beautiful woman. Sometimes, just a look in the eye is enough, and a woman's gentleness and gentleness are enough." Tolerance is sometimes more lethal than beautiful appearance."
Chi Xiaowan smiled slightly and said, "Mom, your early retirement is such a waste. If you were still in school, you don't know how many outstanding students you would have to teach at this time."
Yu Xueqin smiled and said: "Forget it, I haven't taught you well myself, so don't let others mislead you. - Oh, yes, I remembered something. I met a former neighbor. He is also a teacher now, and his wife seems to be from your company, and her surname seems to be Gao."
"Surnamed Gao?" Chi Xiaowan wiped the water on her hands and accompanied Yu Xueqin out of the kitchen. She thought for a moment and said, "There is only one person named Gao in our unit, and he is our director. I don't know what happened during this time. She has a bad temper and is always angry. Xinrou joked that it was our Director Gao who entered menopause early."
Yu Xueqin was stunned for a moment and asked subconsciously: "Don't you know the reason?"
Chi Xiaowan smiled and said, "I heard Xinrou talk about it. She said that she had a relative who lived across from Director Gao's house. It seemed that there was some problem with Director Gao's marriage. She was in her husband's house. I found a photo in the book. It was a black and white photo taken more than thirty years ago. Haha, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but there must be something going on. Otherwise, Director Gao wouldn’t be like this. She was quite peaceful before. "
Yu Xueqin didn't speak, just nodded, and walked to the sofa in the living room with some distraction.
"Mom, let's go." Chi Xiaoman said at the door. Chi Xiaohui's laughter could still be vaguely heard. She was probably fooling around with Chi Xiaomin. Chi Xiaowan also changed her shoes at the door, looking at it with some worry.
He glanced at his mother, hesitated, and gently closed the door.
"Let me take you to work." Chi Xiaoman smiled and said, "I just have to do some personal things. Xiaohui, where are you going? There should be no flying missions today, right?"
"No," Chi Xiaohui smiled, with a faint sneer on the corner of her lips, and said half-seriously, "I found a nasty old fox with nothing to do, and I want to be a hunter to save him from having nothing to do.
You are deceiving some little girls who are not familiar with the world!"
Chi Xiaoman smiled and said, "Xiaohui, please be more peaceful and stop disturbing someone's sleep at night. Can't you find a good man and fall in love?"
"I don't want to," Chi Xiaohui sneered, "What is marriage? Just like our parents, respecting each other as guests, living a harmonious life under the same roof? I don't want that, I want to enjoy my life.
Life! Can you see the deep affection between our parents? It’s just family affection, but it’s not as strong as blood.”
Chi Xiaoman shook his head helplessly, "You and Xiaomin are from the same country. I really don't know how it is that Xiaowan and Xiaomin are twins. Okay, I won't tell you anymore, Xiaowan, I want to send you off first.
Or Xiaomin?"
"I want to go to Yunxiang Restaurant and give an umbrella to the boss there." Chi Xiaowan looked out the window. It was also a rainy day today. She took an umbrella herself, that 'precious' umbrella.
It must be returned to others.
"Okay, I'll go with you." Chi Xiaomin said immediately, "I absolutely adore him. I must get to know him!"
Chi Xiaowan thought about the man's indifferent attitude, and was a little worried about whether the man would be willing to get to know Chi Xiaomin. She still remembered how he was as calm as water when he mentioned Chi Xiaomin's name for the first time, and how he didn't take it seriously.
Chi Xiaomin is a spoiled person, can he tolerate it?
"Maybe he is a descendant of that dynasty." Chi Xiaomin said excitedly, "There are any possibilities, so I want to get to know him. The decorative style of Yunxiang Restaurant and the umbrella in your hand all indicate
, he must be someone related to that dynasty."
"Okay, it's up to you." Chi Xiaowan said calmly. When it came to that dynasty, Chi Xiaomin was enthusiastic.
Chi Xiaoman put Chi Xiaowan and Chi Xiaomin at the door of Yinxiang Restaurant and drove away with Chi Xiaohui. Because it was still early, it was very quiet in front of Yinxiang Restaurant, there was no parking, and several waiters were cleaning.
Whether it's cleaning, sweeping the floor or cleaning the windows, in the rain, Yunxiang Restaurant has an indescribable loneliness and a sense of independence from the world.
Chi Xiaowan hesitated for a moment and was thinking about how to greet the other party. A waiter who looked somewhat familiar came over and said with a smile: "Miss Chi, you are here. Are you here to return the umbrella? Our boss
I told you, just give me the umbrella."
"Okay." Chi Xiaowan nodded, took out the umbrella and handed it over.
"No." Chi Xiaomin grabbed the umbrella and said, "How can such a precious thing be handed over by someone else? We must hand it over to your boss in person."
"Precious?" The waiter was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Yes, it is a precious thing in your eyes. After all, it can be regarded as an antique in your eyes. However, in the eyes of our boss, it is just an umbrella.
It’s a tool to protect you from wind and rain. I’m afraid your real purpose is not to return the umbrella, but to see our boss, right?”
Chi Xiaomin was stunned for a moment. This girl really didn't give face when she spoke. He smiled, showing his charming and life-saving smile, and said to the waiter: "No matter what our purpose is, we are really serious now."
