Chapter 55

After Xu Mingyi was beaten, she didn't come to trouble them. Xu Xingxing remembered their family's conversation when Xu Xingyuan got engaged.

Hou Jingfang did not agree that Xu Mingyi had a relationship with Wang Shunsheng. As a discerning person, she knew that Wang Shunsheng was a scumbag, and she would not push her daughter into the fire pit.

They knew that Xu Mingyi could not be pushed into the fire pit, but when Wang Shunsheng cheated on her and she was about to get divorced, they advised her to endure the divorce, so as not to lose her son's job.

Xu Mingyi hooked up with Wang Shunsheng for money, which was their retribution.

This is not only the retribution of Xu Shifan's family, but also the retribution of Wang Shunsheng. Xu Mingyi came to her when she was pregnant, and it was obvious that she wanted to marry Wang Shunsheng.

Wang Shunsheng just divorced someone else last year, and this year he got another one, who is still his ex-wife's cousin. In a small town like Huaicheng, where folk customs are closed, if word spreads, Wang Shunsheng doesn't need to be a man.

After crying in his mother's arms, Xu Xingxing put away his emotions and started to manage Xu Xingyuan's wedding. Xu Xingyuan was puzzled and happy about her sudden return. Although the wedding was only one day, it would be more meaningful for their family to be busy together.

There are still ten days before the wedding, and the house for the wedding should be arranged in advance before the wedding. The new bedding that Lin Meihui made earlier, as well as the wedding-related items such as the red pot, red mirror and red comb that she sold, should also be placed in the new house.

After the things were put away, Xu Xingxing took the key to lock the door and prepared to leave. As soon as went out, met Nie Gengqing and his daughter who were playing at the door.

Speaking of which, this was the first time saw them since came back.

The orange cat in the muddy family is a lot fatter than the last time saw it. Nine of ten orange cats are fat, and one is very fat, and now it is going to be very fat.

The potted plant at the door could no longer support the orange cat's figure. It had been drilling for a long time, but it didn't get in.

Mufu was holding two big faces with the collar of his clothes, and he was anxious to stretch out his little fat hand to help, while Nie Gengqing, who was standing on the side, carefully reminded: "Mufu, you can't."

Hearing his father's words, he turned his face to look at him, Nie Gengqing smiled, with gentle determination in his big eyes. Extending his index finger and shaking it in front of Mufu, Nie Gengqing said, "It can do it on its own, if you help it, it will catch it."

After listening to Nie Gengqing's words, Mumu turned his head to look at the orange cat, Little Fatty clenched his hands into fists, and said in a milky voice, "Fatfat, come on!"

Xu Xingxing was taken aback. He hasn't seen him for so many days, and his speech has made great progress. Children are really interesting.

While she was observing Fufu, Nie Gengqing looked up and saw her. The two looked at each other, Nie Gengqing smiled and said hello, "I'm back."

Nie Gengqing is a very enthusiastic person. After asking this question, Xu Xingkong also smiled and said, "Well, Xingyuan will get married in a few days, and I will come back to help."

After speaking, Xu Xingxing walked to Mumu and squatted down. Dumu looked up at her, her big eyes gleaming, very beautiful, like black grapes.

The three or four-year-old children have already begun to recognize people, and Mufu obviously has an impression of Xu Xingxing, but does not remember who she is. After a while, he turned his head and glanced at Dad who was standing aside, asking for help.

Nie Gengqing received his daughter's request for help, his eyebrows softened, and he introduced with a smile: "This is Aunt Xingkong. She even made a small video for you during the Chinese New Year. Such a beautiful aunt, have you forgotten?"

Nie Gengqing's emotional intelligence is very high, he reminded Mufu and praised her at the same time, which made people not feel embarrassed at all, and his affection for him doubled.

Mufu seemed to remember, looked back at Xu Xingxing, and called out with a smile, "Hello, Auntie."

The "good" this time did not rise, but was suppressed.

The little girl has a round and fleshy face, wide double eyelids and long eyelashes, and a pair of beautiful big eyes inherited from Nie Gengqing, which is really cute.

Xu Xingxing's heart warmed when she was called, she reached out and patted her little shoulder lightly, and said with a smile, "Mumu is good. Mumu has grown up a lot and speaks more clearly than before."

Mufu didn't understand the specific meaning, but he knew that he was being praised, and he was just laughing. On the other side, Nie Gengqing took Xu Xingxing's words and said, "Yes, children at this stage grow up very fast. If they are not careful, they might miss something."

Xu Xingxing had no experience in raising children, and when he saw Nie Gengqing's appearance as a girl who could do everything, he felt envy again in his heart.

Nie Gengqing could see that her smile was not as good as before, so he changed the subject and asked, "You're busy preparing for marriage, right?"

"Yes." Xu Xingxing nodded deeply. Marriage is a lot of complicated things, and some things can't be handled well no matter how you deal with them.

Nie Gengqing smiled and asked naturally, "What have you been busy with these two days?"

Xu Xingxing looked up at him, felt comfortable chatting with him, smiled and said, "I found a few wedding photographers yesterday."

"How many?" Nie Gengqing smiled in surprise and asked, "Don't you like the style?"

"Yeah." Xu Xingxing nodded and said, "It doesn't feel technically strong, it doesn't look like he has studied photography."

Huaicheng is a small town, and the style of wedding photographers tends to be rural. And it is said that it is a photographer, but the wedding company randomly found someone to take a photo with a SLR.

"Then can I recommend myself?" Nie Gengqing smiled, with sincerity in his big eyes, "I am very professional."

His sudden self-recommendation made Xu Xingxing stunned for a moment. She remembered hearing from Xu Xingyuan before that Nie Gengqing was a full-time photographer who had won many awards. There is no doubt about professionalism, but is it a bit overkill for such a powerful photographer to shoot a wedding?

Xu Xingxing actually felt a little embarrassed, but looking at Nie Gengqing's expression, it didn't seem like he was joking. Xu Xingxing hesitated and said, "Yes, but it won't waste your time?"

"No." Nie Gengqing said, "I'm working on a photography topic about Huaicheng weddings recently. After doing this as a wedding photographer from Xingyuan, the work and help will not be delayed. And it's close to home, which is convenient for me to take care of. "

Hearing what Nie Gengqing said, it was true. Xu Xingxing looked down at Mufu, the little girl was still cheering for the orange cat. Xu Xingxing was no longer polite and said with a smile, "I'll trouble you then."

When the family was having dinner in the evening, Xu Xingxing came out with the dishes and mentioned something about this afternoon.

"The wedding photographer has been decided, and your neighbor, Mr. Nie, said he wanted to help."

Xu Xingyuan, who was eating, was taken aback and opened his eyes wide to confirm: "Really? He's super amazing. Tongtong and I have been to his house, and the photo was taken, it's so beautiful!"

"Yes, yes." Zhou Tongtong was also a little excited.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the two, Xu Xingxing handed over the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Really, he said that he would do a wedding photography project recently, and this time he happened to be helping while working."

"Wow, that's amazing!" Xu Xingxing and Zhou Tongtong looked at each other and said with a smile, "Our wedding was shot by a famous photographer, isn't it great?"

Zhou Tongtong swallowed the meat in his mouth and said with a smile, "Boom!"

Seeing the excited look of the young couple, Xu Xingxing smiled and clipped another spare ribs to Zhou Tongtong.

"Then he is so famous, the price must be very expensive, right? How much is it appropriate to pay at that time?" Lin Meihui wanted to ask.

Although Nie Gengqing said that he was here to shoot a wedding photography topic, he did come to help, and he couldn't owe him anything.

"Wait until that time to wrap a bigger red envelope for Mufu." Xu Xingxing looked at Lin Meihui and said, "Give the money directly, maybe it will embarrass the relationship."

If he can afford a house there, and he is a well-known photographer, Nie Gengqing should be able to afford it. This kind of neighbor's kindness should be properly received, but it should not be used for nothing.

"Okay, that's good." Lin Meihui nodded after hearing Xu Xingxing's words.

After Xu Xingyuan was excited, he glanced at Lin Meihui and said, "Mr. Nie is really nice. He looks good, has a good personality, and has children. Mom, find someone to match him and my sister."

Xu Xingyuan's words were astonishing, and Xu Xingxing choked. She coughed toward the outside of the table, and her face flushed. Zhou Tongtong quickly got up and poured her a glass of water. Xu Xingxing took the water and looked at Xu Xingyuan and said anxiously, "What are you talking about? You are not allowed to do anything nonsense. In the end, the relationship between neighbors became rigid."

Xu Xingyuan didn't take it seriously when his sister said something, and said, "Why am I talking nonsense? I think he is very good, honest and down-to-earth. Anyway, if you look for more, don't look for those rich people who run companies, that kind of men. unreliable."

Xu Xingxing was stunned.

Zhou Tongtong saw Xu Xingxing's expression was wrong, frowned, and said to Xu Xingyuan, "You think he is good, you marry him, why are you pulling our sister?"

Xu Xingyuan also noticed that Xu Xingxing was in a wrong mood, and quickly said: "I marry him, then who will marry you?"

Zhou Tongtong blushed.

Xu Xingxing looked at the young couple bickering, and after regaining his senses, a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing that the atmosphere had eased, Lin Meihui hesitated for a moment and said, "Your aunt called me today and asked me how to arrange my ancestor worship before marriage. It is estimated that your grandma asked me to ask."

In Huaicheng, the newly appointed person will go to worship their ancestors seven days before their marriage, and inform their descendants to start a family and start a business. This is a major event before marriage, and it is important to bring what to bring to the ancestors.

This matter really needs the participation of Xu's family. Mrs. Xu asked Xu Shiting to ask instead of calling herself. It should be because Xu Xingxing rejected the blind date she introduced, and is still angry and still holding it.

As soon as the Xu family was mentioned, Xu Xingyuan's face was pulled down and he said, "I will take Tongtong to my father's grave to kowtow and let him know that he has a daughter-in-law. He has to do something with the Xu family."

"It's a custom." Lin Meihui said embarrassedly, she glanced at Xu Xingxing and said, "Since your grandma asked your aunt to ask, she must be going. If you don't take her, she doesn't know what to do."

And even if the Xu family is not seen at the ancestor worship this time, Xu Xingyuan will still have to meet in a few days when he gets married. It's a blessing, not a disaster, it's a disaster that can't be avoided.

"Then follow the custom." Xu Xingxing said.

"Sister!" Xu Xingyuan frowned.

Xu Xingxing smiled and said softly, "Listen to me."

Xu Xingyuan frowned even more.

He didn't care about going to the ancestors with the Xu family, but when he thought of what Mrs. Xu did to Xu Xingxing at that time, he was not at all angry. And this time, she was not sure how to be cynical.

On the day of the ancestor worship, because there were a lot of sacrificial items to be brought to the cemetery, my aunt Xu Shiting specially sent her son Yang Zhihao in a van to help.

The van drove to the front of the unit building. After Yang Zhihao opened the tailgate of the van, Xu Xingxing and Xu Xingyuan began to carry things into the van.

This time Xu Shifan's family also came, but only brought his son Xu Minghui. Xu Mingyi seemed to be afraid of being beaten by Lin Meihui last time, so he didn't come this time.

Xu Minghui is older than Xu Xingyuan and Yang Zhihao. He is 25 years old this year, not tall but very fat. Wearing patterned clothes, keeping the head of the pot, and hanging a large gold chain around the neck is very social.

He is different from Xu Xingyuan, Xu Xingyuan is a scumbag and has a bad temper, but if someone else provokes him, he will beat people to the ground. And Xu Minghui is the kind of little gangster who provokes you if you don't provoke him, who just hangs out on the street.

Delicious and lazy to do it, it is quite unreasonable. In the past, Xu Xingxing and Wang Shunsheng were divorced and he was unhappy in Shunxing Company because he was the cousin of the boss of Shunxing Company.

When the juniors were eager to get things in the car, he was in the driver's seat of the new Buick he just bought, smoking a cigarette and watching Kuaishou videos.

Ancestor worship is a serious matter, and he smiled with full of rage, with a ruffian look on his face. In the back, Xu Shifan, and Mrs. Xu, who had already got off the bus and Hou Jingfang stood there to count the sacrifices, didn't care at all.

The ancestor worship this time before marriage was a big deal. A few aunts who were chatting in the community watched and asked with a smile, "Is ancestor worship today?"

Mrs. Xu looked down on and bullied Xu Xingxing's family, but she was kind to others. Listening to their question, Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Yes."

"Oh, we all watched Xingyuan grow up. In the past few days, he has also got married and started a business." A chubby aunt said politely.

"Yeah, the children are getting older, and we are getting old too." Madam Xu was talking when she saw Xu Xingxing walking over with a case of wine.

Since she came here, Mrs. Xu has never shown a good face towards Xu Xingxing. But Xu Xingxing was better, she ignored her directly, which made her even more angry.

The person she introduced to Xu Xingxing at the beginning, Xu Xingxing didn't go, so now people see her and say she is bragging, saying that she can't even control her granddaughter, etc.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Xu became angry, watching Xu Xingxing put the wine box in the back of the van, and snorted coldly, "This time I'm going to worship my ancestors, I don't have the face to see my ancestors. "

Hou Jingfang glanced at Mrs. Xu's eyes, then looked at Xu Xingxing and said, "What's wrong, Mom? I didn't sleep well because of this matter last night. Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. You do your best for the children's well-being. Appreciate it, the ancestors can't blame you."

The back is full of things, the wine box can't fit, and the wine bottles are all glass, so they can't be placed on top. Xu Xingkong had no choice but to listen to the two singing double reeds with a blank face, and then put the fish spread next to it. let go.

"Why can't you blame me?" Mrs. Xu snorted coldly, rolled her eyes and watched Xu Xingxing hunched over to fish there, and said, "If you're divorced, why don't you marry me again? What's wrong? I'm dead. Still want to be buried in the Xu family's ancestral grave?

Pulling the fish to the side, Xu Xingxing put the wine box on the car. She put down a little too hard, and the van shook. Xu Xingxing didn't wear a coat, and her face turned red as she ran up and down. She calmly looked at the old lady Xu who rolled her eyes and Hou Jingfang who was watching a good show, and said, "Then marry you to me. Those crooked melons and cracked dates that I introduced will not be ashamed to my ancestors?"

When Xu Xingxing said this, his tone was particularly firm. Mrs. Xu had never heard her speak to her like this. She looked at Xu Xingxing in disbelief. She pointed at Xu Xingxing with shaking fingers and said, "Oh, you can judge. I've worked hard to find a blind date for her and let her marry, this is for her. Well, she still doesn't appreciate it."

The aunts of the neighbors are also a little bit stubborn, and many of them say Xu Xingxing's fault behind them. Looking at Xu Xingxing like this, I also felt that it was a bit outrageous for her to say that about her grandmother.

A skinny aunt said, "Your grandma is also doing this for your own good."

Another aunt said, "Yeah, you can't live in your parents' house all the time after your divorce, so your mother can't even lift her head up."

With the support of a few aunts, Mrs. Xu instantly gained confidence, her face became stern, and she said to Xu Xingxing: "You are too embarrassed to say that people are crooked? You think people are ugly? People don't think you're good. You don't even look at what you are. You can't have children and you've been divorced. In ancient times, you were the next cousin. If you're like this, you can find a man who wants you to be thankful. What? You think you're in good condition. Ah, do you think you can find someone who looks like a star?"

When Mrs. Xu spoke these words like a cannonball, she really angered Xu Xingxing. Her face was even redder than before. Just as she was about to speak, she suddenly heard the sound of a sudden brake.

She turned her consciousness a little, and looked in the direction of the voice, not only her, but also Mrs. Xu and a few aunts, and even Xu Minghui, who was watching the Kuaishou video in the car, also looked at it.

Xu Minghui stared at the car not far away, his eyes popping out in shock.

"Fuck, Maserati!"

When he finished speaking, a man in a suit walked down from the Bordeaux red Maserati.

The man got out of the car and swept away, and saw Xu Xingxing standing in front of the van with a blushing face, a smile flashed in his cold eyes, and he walked over.

The man is 1.9 meters tall, tall and straight, no less than a model. And his facial features are even more exquisite and impeccable, with long eyebrows and peach blossom eyes, a high nose and thin lips, and an extravagant body.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the sun shines through the leaves, and he stands in the middle of the shadows, his steps are steady, and his temperament is dusty. Under the long curly eyelashes, there was a light smile in the light brown eyes.

Xu Xingxing had just been told by Mrs. Xu, her heart beat faster with anger, and her heart hammered her chest. She watched the man come step by step, and she felt like she was dreaming.

The man has long legs, and after a while, he has come to her side. The height of the van's tailgate was a little low. He held the tailgate with one hand, leaned slightly and stood in front of Xu Xingxing, looking down at her.

Xu Xingxing felt the familiar breath on the man, her nose was a little sore, and she wanted to reach out and touch him. But I'm afraid it's a dream, and it will shatter when I touch it.

Her eyes were dry, her lips were slightly parted, and her voice was trembling.

"You...why are you here?"

There was a lot of uncertainty in her tone.

The man stood with the back light, and the sunlight hit a layer of light on his shoulders, blurring his facial features gradually. When Xu Xingxing thought that he was about to disappear, the man hummed, raised his eyes, and his voice was low and magnetic.

"To tell you a secret you don't know."

The sun was a little dazzling, Xu Xingxing listened to his voice, his throat was astringent, and his voice was tight.

"What secret?"

The corners of Huai Jing's lips twitched, and her eyes carried the frivolity and publicity she had seen when she first saw him. He stretched out his hand, put it on the side of the woman's face, and said, "I love you."
