Reborn since 2005

Chapter 537
Before 06:30, Yan Xin drove home.

Yes, the car drove to his house first.

It was already dark when I got home. I got out of the car with Feng Xi and Bai Xiaoling. Everyone was carrying a lot of things. These were the New Year's goods they had bought. Some of them were food for the New Year at home, and some were after the New Year. Later used as gifts.

This is already the night of the 28th of the twelfth lunar month.

Yan's father and Wu Xiuhong both came out to greet them. When they saw their son and daughter coming back with so many things, this time they didn't feel the same pain as before, but they were quite proud.

This means that they are successful.

After knowing that Yan Xin and Feng Xi were talking about someone, Yan's father was no longer worried about Yan Xin's marriage.

And they accept that they spend lavishly because they can make more money.

During the last time, the old couple's own living expenses have increased a lot - they have stronger confidence in the future and don't have to worry about falling into poverty again, so they can naturally enjoy life better.

Feng Chen didn't get out of the car, but just said hello to the old couple. After they moved all their things out, he closed the car door, turned the car around, and drove back.

At his house, his parents had already prepared dinner and were waiting for them to go back to eat.

Feng Xi did not follow him back, which made the old couple a little confused, but they did not ask.

The whole village now knows that the Feng family's daughter doesn't listen to her parents very much, and Feng Xi's parents are the biggest communicators here.

This is someone else's family matter, and it's a very embarrassing family matter, and it's not easy for them to ask about it.

Being able to stay in his own home at this time also shows that in Feng Xi's heart, he already regards them as a family, which is not a bad thing.

After putting the purchased things in the main room, there was no time to clean up, and then several people went to the kitchen to eat.

——At first, they did not expect Feng Xi to stay here. The old couple thought it was just a meal for the four of them, and it was not so formal. The dining table was placed in the kitchen. It would be troublesome to turn around now, so they asked Feng Xi for his opinion. Just eat in the kitchen.

The dishes have been placed on the table, but the weather is a bit cold, and a bowl is placed on top of each dish to keep it warm.

There is a hot pot on an alcohol stove in the middle. It is a fish hot pot. It is steaming and exudes an attractive smell.

It's just a home-cooked meal, not exquisite at all, but it has an extraordinary temptation for these people who are returning home.

This is the taste of home.

It was a relatively sumptuous meal in rural areas, and they were all satiated.

Feng Xi praised Wu Xiuhong's cooking skills while eating.

Wu Xiuhong is self-aware: "My craftsmanship is average, but if you want to make delicious food, it must be Yan Xin."

Bai Xiaoling nodded: "Well, the food I cook is the most delicious."

Feng Xi said: "I still think the food made by aunt is more delicious and tastes more delicious."

While eating, they also talked about going to the county town to buy fireworks tomorrow.

Wu Xiuhong said that she had already bought more than 100 yuan, and there was no need to buy more.

Bai Xiaoling curled her lips: "How can more than 100 yuan be enough? We are living a good life now, so we need to buy more fireworks and firecrackers to set off. We want to live a more prosperous life and let everyone in the village know , how good our family’s life is now.”

Wu Xiuhong glared at her: "I think you just want to play with this!"

Yan Xin helped Bai Xiaoling by saying: "Actually, what Xiaoling said makes sense. We are not short of money now, so it would be better to have a lively New Year."

"That's right," Bai Xiaoling said a little aggrieved, "I used to have no money at home, and I was reluctant to spend money. During the Chinese New Year, my own home was cold and cold, and I could only watch other people's homes lively. Now that our conditions are better, can't we let others envy us? Us?"

Wu Xiuhong also felt a little sad when she said this, and it was hard to object.

In those years, she was a widow raising her daughter, and her life was really not easy. Although the situation was much better than that of the Yan family, she was reluctant to spend money. The Chinese New Year was basically deserted, and she could only watch others lively. .

Sometimes I feel so upset that I cry alone under the quilt.

Her daughter also suffered some hardships following her.

At the same time, I thought of Yan Xin, and the situation was even worse. During the Chinese New Year, this loneliness may be even more serious.

Now that the conditions are better, I want to have some fun, which is probably to compensate for the loneliness I felt when I was young.

Thinking about it this way, there is no reason to object.

There is indeed no shortage of money, so let them have a good time.

Then he said: "Then you should also pay attention to safety and don't get into trouble by being playful."

"Don't worry, we are all adults!" Bai Xiaoling said.

After finishing the meal, we chatted in the kitchen for more than half an hour, talking about things in life.

There is a stove in the kitchen, and it is quite comfortable to chat while warming yourself.

Feng Xi did not tell Wu Xiuhong about Bai Xiaoling's rent collection, but praised her current work attitude and ability and said that she would be given a salary increase next year.

Wu Xiuhong felt a little embarrassed and kept telling her: "Her salary is already high enough now, there is no need to increase it."

In her opinion, that company belongs to Feng Xi. If she gives her daughter more salary, wouldn't she have to take money out of Feng Xi's pocket?
You have already received such a huge benefit from others, why do you have the nerve to ask for more?

Feng Xi smiled and said: "Our company has a unified standard for this salary increase. If she reaches such a standard, she should be given a salary increase. This also encourages the employees below to follow her example and work harder. Can't do it. If you say you want to add more, you can add more, and if you don’t want to add, you can’t add, that won’t convince the public.”

Wu Xiuhong didn't understand this either, so she said "oh" and stopped helping her daughter to refuse.

However, as a mother, she is very happy that her daughter can have a future.

For whatever reason.

At least, you don't have to suffer as much as she did.

Feng Xi didn't talk much about her company for fear of scaring the old couple. She just said that the business was going well. She also said that the school knew about her company and was prepared to regard her as a model for student entrepreneurship when the time comes. Go spread the word.

The revelation means that the company is still doing well and they don't need to worry about the company losing money or having a hard time in the future.

When it comes to Yan Xin's job, it is still the same, managing the website. Because of the good operation, he received a year-end bonus of 10,000+ during the New Year, and his salary also increased.

The old couple's ability to accept is getting stronger and stronger, so he will raise his standards appropriately, otherwise they will not dare to spend.

As he said that, Yan Xin also took out two bundles of banknotes, one bundle was worth 1 yuan, and the old couple gave each of them [-] yuan. This was their pocket money.

Wu Xiuhong was embarrassed to accept the money from her stepson, but it was not enough for Yan Xin's enthusiasm, so she had no choice but to accept it.

I feel quite emotional in my heart.

This is just a stepson who has no blood relationship with her, but he can do this.

Many biological sons in the village cannot do this.

Bai Xiaoling also followed suit, took out some money, and said with a smile: "Dad, Mom, I am not as rich as my brother. I can't give 1 yuan to each person, so I will give 1000 yuan to each person. This is also my filial piety. You guys You have to accept it.”

Then he added:
"This is for your pocket money. You should eat, drink, and play. Don't save it. We are all grown up now and have the ability. We can live a good life on our own. You don't need to do it for us. We’re worried.”

After saying this, Wu Xiuhong's eyes suddenly became wet.Her children have grown up, become sensible, and know how to be filial to their parents. Nothing makes her more gratified than this.

Just thinking about the situation in the past few years makes me feel a little sad.

Feng Xi did not participate in such excitement. She was still Yan Xin's girlfriend. It was okay to give some gifts, but it seemed a bit strange to give money directly.

She did buy the gifts, put them in the main room, and went to the kitchen to eat before she had time to count them.

Seeing the deep affection shown by such a combined family, I felt quite envious.

Although they are a combined family, even if they have family ties, they will always think about each other.

My own home is like that...

I feel a little uncomfortable thinking about it.

After coming out of the kitchen and arriving in the main room, Feng Xi gave away the gifts he bought.

She gave Wu Xiuhong a pair of gold bracelets, which cost more than 1 yuan to buy. They were heavy in her hands and had a lot of weight.

She gave each of the couple a down jacket. It was a foreign brand and cost two to three thousand a piece, but she said it was sold in her own online store and the cost price was not much, so they could wear it with confidence.

Bai Xiaoling also bought a gift, which is two sets of thermal underwear for each person. The money is not much, but it is a piece of heart.

However, Yan Xin did not give any gifts.

He has never had such a concept.

He did buy some expensive cigarettes and alcohol, but these were not for the old couple, but for them to take out as New Year gifts.

Of course, there was also a New Year's gift that he wanted to give to Feng Xi's parents.

A large part of what they brought over was food.

Including some high-end ingredients and some snacks.

After counting all those things, it was time to go back to the room and rest.

Feng Xi was not so shy and stayed in Yan Xin's room that night.

Knowing that they were coming, Wu Xiuhong had already cleaned their room. There was no need to clean it up anymore and they could live in it directly.

It was winter. As soon as he entered the room, Feng Xi turned on the air conditioner in the room and turned on the heating.

It consumes a lot of power, but now they don't need to care about these things at all.

There is a bathroom in Yan Xin's bedroom upstairs, which is also equipped with a water heater and a shower, so you can take a bath.

Bai Xiaoling's bedroom didn't have this one. If she wanted to take a bath, she could only borrow Yan Xin's one, or go downstairs, where it was also available.

But it was quite inconvenient to go upstairs and downstairs at night, so Bai Xiaoling chose to take a bath at Yan Xin's place.

Yan Xin is preparing to take a bath with Feng Xi, which can save some time.

Feng Xi was a little worried: "Is your place well soundproofed? It would be very embarrassing if anyone found out."

Yan Xin disagreed: "Didn't we often take baths together when we lived in the capital? It's not like Xiaoling didn't know. There's no need to avoid this now."

"It's not about Xiaoling, it's about your parents," Feng Xi said, "What if they suddenly want to talk to you and come upstairs, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to hear such a movement?"

"That's okay. You're already living here with me. Isn't it obvious?" Yan Xin said.

Feng Xi felt that what he said made sense. Apart from not having a marriage certificate, they were no different from husband and wife.

Taking a bath together is not an outsider's house, so even if someone finds out, it's not too much.

Then he said: "Okay, this can also save some time."

Just when the two of them took off their coats, they heard a knock on the door.

Feng Xi laughed in a low voice: "Look, someone is coming."

When I opened the door, I saw that it was not the two old people, but Bai Xiaoling. She was standing at the door holding her fluffy pajamas and pajamas, and said sheepishly:

"Brother, sister-in-law, excuse me for disturbing you. Can I borrow the bathroom to take a shower?"

"Of course, you can, then wash it first." Feng Xi said.

But when Bai Xiaoling saw that she and Yan Xin were only wearing underwear, she knew that they were about to take a bath. She couldn't help but blush, and she couldn't fight for it.

Then he said: "Brother, sister-in-law, you wash up first."

Feng Xi gave her a funny look and thought to herself: "You are already here, how can we wash together?"

It’s not okay to wash with two people, but it’s okay to wash alone.

He took out a set of pajamas and went in and said to Yan Xin:
"Just stay with Xiaoling, I'll wash up first."

Bai Xiaoling felt that by coming to borrow the bathroom, she seemed to have ruined the good deeds of these two people. She felt a little uneasy, fearing that they would blame her.

Fortunately, this did not happen.

Yan Xin wore thermal underwear, took out a bag of snacks, and chatted with her.

Anyway, the air conditioning is on in the house, so there is no need to worry about getting cold.

The two of them chatted while eating. After a few minutes, the anxiety in Bai Xiaoling's heart disappeared.

After Feng Xi took a shower, he came out wearing Yan Xin's pajamas.

She didn't have pajamas here, so she could only wear men's ones, which were fluffy and fluffy, making her petite figure even more obvious.

At this time, Bai Xiaoling was still embarrassed to take a shower first, and asked Yan Xin to take a shower first.

When Yan Xin came out of the shower, he found Feng Xi and Bai Xiaoling sitting on the bed playing Landlords.

Seeing him come out, Feng Xi said with a smile: "You come and fight for your sister. I will definitely win this round, but I have to stop playing."

There was no other way, Yan Xin could only take Bai Xiaoling's cards and play with her, and let Bai Xiaoling take a shower.

After playing one round after another, Bai Xiaoling came out from the shower and the two of them were still playing.

However, the cards in Feng Xi's hand were not good in this round. When he saw her coming out, he threw them away: "It's not fun for two people to play Landlord. They can guess each other's cards. It's better for three people to play. Xiaoling, come here too." Come on, the three of us will fight the landlord together."

Bai Xiaoling was stunned: "Huh? Are you still fighting the landlord so late?"

Feng Xi said: "If you're celebrating the New Year, how can you celebrate the New Year if you don't play cards? You don't have to go to work, so why do you care about morning or evening?"

He patted the bed board and said, "Come on!"
