Chapter 73
Chapter 73
On the evening of New Year's Eve, everyone in the Shen family was present except for Shen Zhixing who was still working and Wang Feng who asked for leave to return to his hometown.
Shen Tianrong and Shen Xiuxiu were sitting on the sofa waiting for the Spring Festival Gala on TV, while Shen Mian and Xie Qiaoyu were studying how to knead noodles and stuffing dumplings in the kitchen.
When Liang Minzhen came down from downstairs, she saw Shen Xiu's feet resting on the coffee table, she hurried over and patted Shen Xiu's shoulder and said:
"Little Treasure, put your feet down. When your elder brother brings his girlfriend home later, how bad would it be to let other girls see it? Besides, as a star, can you look like a star? If you are photographed by a reporter What should we do when we arrive?"
Shen Tianrong on the side snorted coldly: "You can't even attend the Spring Festival Gala. I don't think your son is popular at all. How can he look like those big stars?"
Just as Shen Xiu moved his sprained foot aside with difficulty, he heard a personal attack from his biological father.
"...Dad, please don't hurt your son anymore." Shen Xiu took a bite of the apple, then turned to Liang Minzhen and said, "Besides, Mom, I'm at home, how could there be a reporter at home..."
Before Shen Xiu finished speaking, the sound of taking pictures came from the living room: "Crack."
Shen Xiu turned his head to look in the direction of the sound, and saw Shen Mian taking pictures of him with his mobile phone.
After seeing Shen Xiu turned to look at her in the camera, Shen Mian raised his phone and said, "There are no reporters, but there is me, the paparazzi."
Shen Xiu was puzzled: "What are you doing?"
Shen Mian folded her index finger and thumb together, rubbed her hands together and said, "Happy New Year tomorrow, brother, just give me some if you look at it."
Shen Xiu: "..."
Shen Mian smiled and waved to Liang Minzhen who was beside Shen Xiu: "Mom, come quickly, sister Qiao Yu and I don't know how much noodles and water we put in."
"Don't call me mom, mom won't either."
Shen Mian groaned: "Then make dumplings before..."
"Your Aunt Wang did it all by herself."
Shen Mian took out her mobile phone, "Then shall I make a video call to Aunt Wang?"
Just when Shen Mian had already found Aunt Wang's phone number and was about to call it, the sound of opening and closing the door and two people changing shoes came from the entrance.
Shen Mian turned her head to look, and saw Shen Zhixing walking out from the entrance.And the other person following him was Ye Jingyi.
Seeing that everyone in the living room was looking at her, Ye Jingyi bent down to say hello: "Hello, uncle and aunt. I am Zhixing's girlfriend, Ye Jingyi."
After Liang Minzhen saw Ye Jingyi, she hurried to the two of them, just to take a closer look at Ye Jingyi's appearance.But there is one person who is faster than Liang Minzhen.
Shen Mian trotted to the two of them, hugged Ye Jingyi's body, and said pleasantly, "Sister Jingyi! Long time no see!"
"Long time no see, Xiao Mian." Ye Jingyi touched the top of Shen Mian's head and said, "It's getting better and better."
That is to say, Xie Qiaoyu is busy in the kitchen right now, otherwise seeing Shen Mian hugging Ye Jingyi so enthusiastically, I don't know if he would be secretly jealous.
Shen Mian let go of Ye Jingyi after laughing twice.
It happened that Liang Minzhen came over, took Ye Jingyi's hand and said, "How about I call you Xiaoyi?"
Liang Minzhen looked up at Ye Jingyi while speaking.
"Auntie can call me whatever you want."
Liang Minzhen burst into laughter, and began to ask for warmth.
Shen Mian, who was standing by the side, was about to call Wang Feng, but before making the call, she suddenly felt that Wang Feng was already on vacation, and it would be inappropriate to bother Wang Feng now.
While Shen Mian was hesitating, he caught a glimpse of Ye Jingyi from the corner of his eye, and suddenly remembered that it was written in the novel that Ye Jingyi's cooking skills are very good.
Shen Mian interjected and asked, "By the way, sister Jingyi, do you know how to make dough? It's the dough for making dumplings."
Although Ye Jingyi didn't understand why Shen Mian asked this suddenly, she still nodded.
Surprises fell from the sky.
"Sister Jingyi, come here! We need your help!"
Shen Mian said while pulling Ye Jingyi to the kitchen and said to Shen Zhixing: "Brother, let me borrow your girlfriend first."
Before Shen Zhixing could speak, Ye Jingyi was pulled away from her side.
Liang Minzhen muttered helplessly, "This child." Then she turned to Shen Zhixing and said, "Mom will follow you to the kitchen to learn. You go upstairs and change your clothes."
Shen Mian pulled Ye Jingyi into the kitchen and saw Xie Qiaoyu following the steps of Baidu's meeting step by step.
When seeing Ye Jingyi, Xie Qiaoyu was stunned for a moment, and said, "Miss Ye."
"Qiao Yu." Ye Jingyi called out.
Shen Mian looked at Xie Qiaoyu, "Sister Qiao Yu, Sister Jingyi said that she knows how to make a face-to-face meeting. Let Sister Jingyi take the lead, and let's learn from it."
Xie Qiaoyu hummed calmly.
At this moment, Liang Minzhen also entered the kitchen.
The four women were busy in the kitchen, and the three men in the living room were relatively silent.
"Dad, brother."
Shen Xiu ate the apple in his hand, and said idly: "Don't you think we're lazy if we sit here?"
Shen Tianrong squinted his eyes: "How can you help if you can sprain your feet just by pasting Spring Festival couplets?"
I feel that Shen Tianrong is targeting him today, but he has no evidence.
"But you two didn't sprain your ankle!" Shen Xiu said, "I think, dad, you go wash the vegetables, and elder brother helps chop the vegetables."
Shen Xiu: "It's convenient to cook for a while."
Shen Zhixing, who was clearly arranged, smiled and asked, "What about you?"
"I sprained my ankle and couldn't do anything."
Shen Xiu frowned and sighed: "I can only stay here and cheer for you!"
"I'll find you a job." Shen Zhixing got up.
Looking at the back of Shen Zhixing walking towards the melon seed plate in the distance, a bad premonition welled up in Shen Xiu's heart.
"... "
Six people inside and outside the kitchen were busy making dumpling stuffing, cutting vegetables, washing vegetables... preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, leaving a lonely figure sitting on the sofa, repeatedly peeling melon seeds.
This is the job that Shen Zhixing gave Shen Xiu - peeling a plate full of melon seeds.
Shen Xiu also posted Weibo to accuse Shen Zhixing of his boring behavior, but his fans not only didn't feel sorry for him, they even left a string of "hahaha..." in the comments
Shen Xiu decided to ignore these fans who said they loved him every day, but laughed louder than anyone else after he was bullied.
Once again, one person struggled alone in the melon seed peeling industry.
After Shen Xiu peeled half of the plate, Ye Jingyi's reconciled noodles also woke up.
Seeing that several people were preparing to make dumplings, Shen Xiu immediately threw away the melon seed plate, bounced to the table and got busy with everyone.
On the night of New Year's Eve this time, the Shen family was much more lively than before.
As he grew older, Xie Qiaoyu gradually changed from a child who received red envelopes to an elder who gave out red envelopes.
What has also changed is that after returning home during the Chinese New Year, they have changed from being asked about their studies to being asked about their work and relationship status.
Especially in recent years, when Xie Qiaoyu returned to Beijing every year, she would be asked when she would be dating and if she needed help introducing her.
This is true every year.
But this time, Xie Qiaoyu took Shen Mian back to Jingbei, thinking that he could finally skip this topic, and would not be asked about it again, but he didn't expect to change it to urging marriage.
As soon as Xie Qiaoyu introduced Shen Mian to her relatives, her relatives began to ask:
"Qiao Yu, why didn't I hear you say that you like girls before? If it weren't for what your grandfather said, we would still be kept in the dark."
"Your name is Shen Mian, right? How did you meet Qiao Yu? When did you get together?"
"It's the first time we've seen two girls dating each other."
"By the way, how long have you two known each other? Do you plan to get married?"
The person who said the last two sentences was Xie Qiaoyu's aunt, who did not usually communicate with Xie Qiaoyu.But every Chinese New Year, she was the first to rush up to ask Xie Qiaoyu a question. Every time the question didn't seem to care about Xie Qiaoyu, it was more like trying to embarrass Xie Qiaoyu.
In the past, Xie Qiaoyu ignored her, but seeing Shen Mian standing at a loss, Xie Qiaoyu took a step forward and blocked Shen Mian behind her.
She smiled and answered the questioner: "Auntie, Xiao Mian is still in school, so it's too early to talk about getting married. Brother Xiaojie is almost thirty, why isn't he married yet?"
The brother Xiaojie that Xie Qiao said was her aunt's child. Not only did he achieve nothing at the age of 30, he was even dumped several times.
No matter how many times his aunt asked him to kiss him, the result was that they broke up unhappy.
The aunt was speechless after being poked into a heart attack, stomped her feet and left the two of them.
In fact, Shen Mian was not at a loss, she was stunned when she heard the two words in her aunt's words.
marry?
Does she speak to Xie Qiao?
May I?
After the aunt left, Xie Qiaoyu, who turned to look at Shen Mian, noticed the change in his expression, and asked in a low voice, "Are you scared? Go back to my room first and be quiet."
Shen Mian let go of her thoughts, and shook her head at Xie Qiaoyu: "No, my aunt is very enthusiastic, so I won't be frightened."
Seeing this, Xie Qiaoyu bowed her head and whispered in Shen Mian's ear: "Get used to it slowly, and you will be surrounded like this every year after that."
"I know, every time we go back to our hometown, my brothers are also asked this way. But they usually ask my second brother, they dare not quarrel with my eldest brother." Shen Mian laughed out loud, showing no sympathy for Shen Xiu.
Xie Qiaoyu imagined how clean Shen Zhixing's ears were, and said after oh, "It seems that I have to learn from my elder brother."
"No, they are afraid of big brother because big brother always has a calm face and doesn't show himself in anger."
Shen Mian raised the corners of her mouth as if demonstrating to Xie Qiaoyu, and said with a smile, "Smile more."
Xie Qiaoyu poked Shen Mian's faintly visible pear nest when she smiled, "It's all up to you."
After Shen Mian smiled, she couldn't help shouting, "Sister Qiao Yu..."
Xie Qiaoyu was pulling Shen Mianxiang to her room.
"what happened?"
Shen Mian hesitated for a moment, then said: "My aunt just asked...we are getting married..."
Xie Qiaoyu understood what Shen Mian was thinking, stopped and said, "Xiao Mian, because we have a very tolerant family, they all accepted our relationship, we don't have any burden."
Xie Qiao said: "So when you are ready, let's go get married."
Shen Mian's heart was burning hot. She never thought that the future of the two of them that Xie Qiaoyu thought of would actually be marriage.
Just when Shen Mian was moved and wanted to cry, she heard Xie Qiao say again: "But I'm afraid you will run away, why don't we try to get engaged first?"
Shen Mian took a deep breath, holding back the tears welling up in her eyes.He smiled and asked, "Are you proposing marriage?"
Xie Qiaoyu nodded, "Yes."
"What about the ring? What about the flower? What about the balloon candle?" Recalling the scene of the marriage proposal seen in the online video, Shen Mian asked with her arms folded.
Xie Qiaoyu pursed her lips, "Not at all."
Shen Mian was afraid that Xie Qiao's words were serious, and wanted to explain that she was joking.But before she could speak, Xie Qiaoyu took his hand and placed it on her chest.
I heard Xie Qiaoyu say: "There is only one heart in me."
When Shen Mian heard it, she immediately pulled out her hand and pinched Xie Qiaoyu's face, and asked, "Sister Qiao Yu, did you steal the rapeseed oil in the kitchen?"
"what?"
Shen Mian shook her head, and just said: "It's nothing, I know what you want."
On the way back to the room, Xie Qiaoyu took out his mobile phone and opened the webpage with Shen Mian behind his back, carefully looked at the comments under the post, and found that he hadn't said anything wrong.
The webpage is still the webpage where many hackers gather, the difference is that this time it is replaced by other people posting.
The name of the post is:
[How to express your heart to the person you like? ]
The one with the most likes was Xie Qiaoyu's answer.
The author has something to say: Xie Qiaoyu: Damn it!I want to hack this site!
