Chapter 243 She should take the initiative

The next day, the plane landed in Nanshi, and when we arrived at the villa, it was just in time for the New Year's Eve lunch.

As soon as the car drove in, Ye Xi lowered the glass window and saw couplets pasted on both sides of the gate, and the branches of the sweet-scented osmanthus trees in front of the yard were also covered with lanterns. The whole front yard was completely new and full of joy.

A house can only be called a real home if it has been occupied by people for a long time.

Looking at the scene in front of her, she couldn't help but feel emotional. She didn't know when she and Director Qin would be able to have such a residence full of life.

Although I have lived in Yuxi Bay for a long time, I always feel that it is almost interesting.

As for what was wrong, Ye Xi couldn't say for a while.

This time, taking someone from Qin with me, the happiest person is naturally my mother.

When I came back before, almost half of the dishes on the dinner table were her favorite dishes, but now the trend has changed, and six out of ten of the dishes are specially prepared by Ms. Zhong for her future son-in-law.

Looking at the plate of garlic scallops in front of her, she turned her head and whispered to the man beside her, "Do you like this?"

Qin Chen nodded, and put a few into her bowl: "I fell in love with it recently."

? ?
Recently, how close?
It can't be when this plate is on the table.

She couldn't help but licked her lips, thinking that a few days ago, her mother asked her for a certain director's WeChat account, and it turned out that the reason was to ask him what he wanted to eat.

Great director, can you be more honest as a human being, whether she likes garlic scallops or he likes...

During the meal, Ye Xi inadvertently asked why Shang Jinhan hadn't come back. Shang Bai's face was stunned, as if he remembered that he had a son.

"Taking advantage of these few days of annual leave, Jin Hanfei went to accompany his mother. After all, I haven't seen him for almost half a year."

Ye Xi nodded upon hearing this, but did not speak.

After a while, Zhong Lan suddenly thought of something, and asked his daughter and future son-in-law: "What are your plans for the next year? Why don't we wait for Jin Han to come back, and let our family take time to take a family portrait?"

Shang Bai echoed at the side: "I also had this idea a long time ago, it's just that you are usually too busy to get together."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Lan and Shang Bai Qiqi turned their eyes to the two opposite.

Ye Xi paused while eating, and lightly glanced at a certain director beside him from the corner of the eye.

Family portrait this...

Before she could speak, Qin Chen put down his chopsticks and said softly, "I can stay here until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month."

Ye Xi: ? ?

Hearing this, the second elder immediately had a kind smile on his face.

Shang Bai turned to ask Ye Xi: "Where is Xi Xi?"

This time, not only the elders, but someone from Qin also cast their gaze over.

She has a complex face, she has brought someone here to take a family photo before she even got the certificate, although she has no objection, but...

In my thoughts, I heard my mother's final word: "Just on the day of the Lantern Festival, double happiness."

Ye Xi was puzzled: "What double happiness?"

amount.

Zhong Lan avoided her daughter's sight, put a piece of sweet and sour pork ribs into the future son-in-law's bowl with serving chopsticks, and said kindly, "Son, eat more, I'll make you whatever you want to eat at night."

"..."

Ye Xi squinted his eyes, always feeling that there was deceit in that sentence just now.

Sure enough, at four o'clock in the afternoon, while she was making dumplings in the kitchen, her mother came over to her and asked her, "What are you and Qin Chen planning, and when will you get married? I've been thinking about this for the past few days, and I can't sleep. Sleep."

Seeing her mother's sad face, she smiled subtly: "Even family portraits can be taken in advance. What's the wedding? Don't worry, it's indispensable."

Zhong Lan became interested in an instant: "I'll find someone to figure out the specific date."

"What date?"

"Get the certificate."

she:……

Ye Xi stayed silent for a few seconds, and then told the truth: "I haven't discussed it yet. I'll ask him in a few years."

"Don't ask, you just set a time for this kind of thing and just notify him."

? ?
Zhong Lan turned her head, looked at her daughter's face full of question marks, and sighed softly: "It is said that Qin Chen chased you very hard at the beginning, since you accepted him and liked him, then when it comes to getting married, I think You can be more active."

What does it mean to be proactive.

Ye Xi tentatively asked, "Do you want me to propose to Qin Chen?"

Proposal……

Zhong Lan was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "It's a good idea. It's better to hit the sun than to choose a date. Just tonight. I'll arrange it."

"..."

With the development of the matter so far, Ye Xi can almost be [-]% sure that all the foreshadowing in front of her mother, in the end, is waiting for her words.

She raised her head and wondered secretly, she was just over 25, not too old, what was her mother anxious about.

But when it comes to marriage, in some moments long ago, especially every morning, when she went downstairs after washing and leaned against the kitchen door to watch the back of the big director making her breakfast, she really felt an urge to want to get married. Hugged him behind him and dragged him directly to the Civil Affairs Bureau.

I once read a sentence in a book, when a woman desires to start a family with a man from the bottom of her heart, it means that her love for that man has reached its peak.

As the name suggests, after the peak, emotions will decline, and finally return to calmness and remain on a level line without ups and downs for many years.

Regardless of whether this theory is true or not, in Ye Xi's view, since the two have made it public anyway, even if they suddenly announce their marriage, it seems that it is just a matter of a word on Weibo.

Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Zhong Lan persisted and said: "Actually, the proposal is not as complicated as you think. Just tonight, I will find an excuse to call Qin Chen to the back garden. You wait there in advance, and then I will talk with you." Under the witness of Uncle Shang, this matter has come to fruition."

Ye Xi frowned: "No, it's too hasty, let's choose another time."

"Don't be in a hurry. Tonight is a very long time to watch the New Year's Eve. It represents the day of family reunion. How meaningful it is."

After finishing speaking, Zhong Lan glanced at the wrapped dumplings, and ordered Ye Xi to go upstairs to take down her cell phone: "Your uncles should call later, please pay attention to me."

Seeing that his mother was busy cooking dumplings and didn't want to hear her refusal, Ye Xi had no choice but to turn around and go upstairs.

Throughout the afternoon, she and her mother were the only ones left in the villa. It wasn't until dinner was approaching that Mr. Shang Bai walked leisurely home with a certain director from outside.

It was still early after dinner, and Ye Xi wanted to accompany his mother to take a walk in the back garden, but the phone calls from his hometown came one after another.

There was a live broadcast of the Spring Festival Gala on the TV. She sat down and watched it for a while, and Mr. Shang Bai's mobile phone on the coffee table rang again and again.

There were a lot of phone calls tonight, but unexpectedly, the cell phones of her and the big director were eerily quiet.

Not to mention the others, just a few close friends who have a symbolic WeChat blessing on the night of the New Year's Eve every year, but this year, not only did they not receive the blessing, even the messages she sent in the past fell into nothing.

Ye Xi felt strange, and was about to pick up the phone to call Jiang Chun, when the man beside him who was watching the live show suddenly got up, took her hand and walked out.

"what?"

"Back garden, take a walk."

"..."
