Chapter 200
After Zhai Xiaotong got out of the car with Xiao's mother, she saw the architectural style of Xiao's house more clearly, and had an intuitive and clear understanding of Xiao Yucheng's family.
Although the villas of Xiao's old house are western style villas, they are not pure western style. They are integrated with a lot of Chinese elements. More accurately, they are the product of the combination of Chinese and western. Although it's an old house, it doesn't have the old flavor of an old house at all. It's more of a sense of the age that has been precipitated. This sense of the age makes Zhai Xiaotong afraid.
Zhai Xiaotong followed Xiao's mother to the living room, and saw a fountain in the yard. The sculptures in it were very strange. She thought about what these sculptures meant. As a result, she didn't notice that Xiao's mother had stopped in front of her. She almost ran into her.
Fortunately, Zhai Xiaotong's reaction is still sensitive, because Xiao's mother stopped one second before she had physical contact. Otherwise, with their current relationship, I don't know how embarrassed the atmosphere will be later.
"Alas... You may not like to hear a word. How can you be the daughter-in-law of the Xiao family like this... You can't walk well and how can you do other things. Moreover, you are still pregnant and so rash. In case of a mistake, I can't tell clearly even if I'm all over my mouth..."
Xiao's mother looked at the rash Zhai Xiaotong, and the anger she held in her heart was even worse. At first glance, this woman was heartless and didn't help Xiao Yucheng's future career. I don't know what Xiao Yucheng thought.
"I'm sorry, I'm looking at the fountain next to me. I almost ran into it when I was not careful..." Zhai Xiaotong apologized without saying a word. After today's day, she knew that this future mother-in-law was not easy to get into, so she should be good in front of her
"I know I don't like to hear you make complaints about it," Zhai Xiaotong murmured in her heart. She wanted to be good, but the surface was so good that she could not stop the tucking of her heart.
"What's nice about a fountain? It's in your own home. You can take a look at it more. When you go to other people's home, even if it's a novelty, you have to pretend that you don't care. My Xiao family has a big business. I don't want to let others say that my daughter-in-law doesn't know anything and has never seen anything. It can't appear in the Xiao family if she hasn't seen the world." When Xiao's mother heard Zhai Xiaotong's words, she felt even worse.
"OK, I see." Zhai Xiaotong is not in the mood to answer. The novelty of her just coming to Xiao's house is all diluted by Xiao's mother's two words. What does it mean that she has never seen the world? Yes, her Zhai Xiaotong's family is not as rich as Xiao's family, but it's not like that if she hasn't seen the world, is it? It's a little too hurtful.
"OK, be good. Xiaotong, don't think I'm ugly. I'm all for your future. Since I'm married to Yu Cheng, you must follow him to socialize. You have to worry about his face. You can't be willful." Xiao's mother said here already has a bit of meaning, probably also know their words a little heavy.
"Good..." what Xiao's mother said made Zhai Xiaotong feel that she had no conscience. She was a burden to Xiao in Chengdu.
"Well, be happy. I'll take you to see the old man, Xiao Yucheng's grandfather. Before you enter Xiao's house, you should salute him first." Xiao's mother has finished the previous topic and is ready to take Zhai Xiaotong to see Xiao.
As soon as Zhai Xiaotong heard this, she felt nervous again. Xiao Yucheng's grandfather... Xiao Yucheng's mother is so hard to deal with, and there is a more difficult grandfather?? Zhai Xiaotong suddenly feels that she shouldn't agree to Xiao Yucheng's proposal. This is throwing herself into a house full of rules.
But at this stage, it seems useless to blindly escape. Zhai Xiaotong, with a nervous mood, followed Xiao's mother into Xiao's living room. As soon as she entered the living room, she saw an old man sitting on the chair in the living room. It is estimated that this is Xiao's father.
Father Xiao doesn't look as terrible as Zhai Xiaotong imagined. He also looks quite kind. He doesn't have the sense of coercion. Moreover, he smiles when he sees Zhai Xiaotong coming in, which reduces Zhai Xiaotong's pressure a lot. It seems that father Xiao is much closer than his mother Xiao.
"Are you the daughter-in-law of that bastard?" Xiao saw Zhai Xiaotong now in front of her, with a look of restraint and timidity. Knowing that she was a little afraid of strangers, he took the initiative to open his mouth.
"Son of a bitch... Xiao Yucheng?" Zhai Xiaotong was instantly attracted by this new name, and the tension since she entered Xiao's house was also relieved.
"Yes, it's only a few months since I came back. It's a rabbit. It's still the kind that I don't know how to feed." Although Mr. Xiao is old, he is still very mean in his speech. It's no exaggeration to play a joke with these young people.
"Ha ha ha, grandfather, you are so humorous. Yes, I am the daughter-in-law of that little rabbit. My name is Zhai Xiaotong." Zhai Xiaotong feels that she has finally found a less rigid person in the Xiao family, and she has been less nervous since then.
"Have some rules! It's fun for the old man to yell at the little bunny. What do you look like when you yell at the little bunny! " Without waiting for Zhai Xiaotong's smile to bloom completely, the words of Xiao's mother beside her poured a basin of cold water on Zhai Xiaotong.
"Oh..." she was overjoyed, forgetting that there was a door God beside her.
"Hey ~ we're all a family. Don't be so restrained at home. What's the matter with the little rabbit? He's just a little rabbit. Go ahead and let Xiaotong talk with me here!" Xiao's father is probably also tired of Xiao's mother's rules, so he quickly sent her away.
"Dad... I..." Xiao's mother wanted to say something else.
"Oh, that's it. Go and do something else. You have too many rules here. Xiaotong is bound to be restrained." Mr. Xiao interrupted his mother.
"Xiaotong, you are here to accompany your grandfather. I'll prepare lunch." Xiao's mother had no choice but to leave Zhai Xiaotong here and went out with a sigh.
"Girl, you can be relieved that the little bunny is gone. There's room over there. You can sit down and talk with your grandfather for a while. Later, you can go to the front garden with me." Mr. Xiao asked Zhai Xiaotong to relax and not be so restrained. He just couldn't stand Xiao's mother's taking care of a house like a cage. This little girl has a relaxed temperament. Well, it should be good.
"Good! Thank you, grandpa Zhai Xiaotong finally dare to rest assured to sit down, with Xiao mother in the air flow are slow two points.
"Is the girl thirsty? Do you want to drink water?" Seeing Zhai Xiaotong's tired face, master Xiao thought about it. He had been tossing around for a day, so he had no words to talk to.
"Thirsty... I want water." Zhai Xiaotong is not polite. She has eaten an apple this morning, but still hasn't drunk a mouthful of water. She was greedy after she was pregnant. It's really the first time that she hasn't eaten.
"Mother Wang! Bring me a glass of water. " Hearing Zhai Xiaotong's words, Xiao quickly ordered his servants to bring tea and water.
"How old are you, grandfather?" Feeling the kindness of Mr. Xiao, Zhai Xiaotong's chatterbox also opened. She was a talkative person. She was going to be sick all the way. Mr. Xiao gave her a place to talk.
"Me? I'm in my eighties this year! " It's rare for Mr. Xiao to have someone to talk with him. It's hard for an old man to feel lonely when he's old. Zhai Xiaotong is happy to come and talk with him more.
"Wow, it's over eighty. You must have experienced a lot of things. Tell me. I like listening to stories best!" Zhai Xiaotong also has his own skill in how to coax the elderly. When people get old, they become more and more like children. They also hope to get everyone's recognition. Zhai Xiaotong's words undoubtedly speak to the heart of master Xiao.
"There are countless things I have experienced. I fought in wars when I was young... At that time, who could have thought of such a life in the future..." Mr. Xiao mentioned that he talked a lot about that year, but he suddenly remembered one thing
"Hey, wait a minute, I'll say that I forgot something important today. I can't live with my old age. It's not long before I forget something." There was a flash in Mr. Xiao's eyes.
There was a brocade box on the table next to Mr. Xiao. He took the box and handed it to Zhai Xiaotong. Zhai Xiaotong noticed that the box in Mr. Xiao's hand looked nothing special, but inexplicably, it made people feel that the box had a sense of the times, and the patterns engraved on the box were quite simple, The whole box looks antique.
Zhai Xiaotong hesitated and didn't dare to take it. She didn't know what Mr. Xiao meant. The box was very valuable at first sight, and the things in it must be more valuable. How dare she take such valuable things.
"What is this?" Although Zhai Xiaotong picked it up in her hand, she was still a little counselled. It's not a gift for her. It's too expensive.
"Just open it and have a look. This is a gift for you and your little great grandson. Open it and see if you like it." Mr. Xiao's words proved Zhai Xiaotong's conjecture. This is a meeting ceremony.
Zhai Xiaotong was speechless in her heart. Then she put the box on her lap and slowly opened it.
The box has a light fragrance. Zhai Xiaotong smells good. When he opens the box, he sees a pair of jade bracelets. Although Zhai Xiaotong doesn't know jade, he can see that the jade must be expensive. The crystal clear white jade has a light cyan color inside. There is no impurity. Its tentacles are cool. It must be the best jade.
"No, grandfather. I can't take it. It's too expensive for me to bear."
Although the villas of Xiao's old house are western style villas, they are not pure western style. They are integrated with a lot of Chinese elements. More accurately, they are the product of the combination of Chinese and western. Although it's an old house, it doesn't have the old flavor of an old house at all.
