Back to 2006

In a blink of an eye, it’s Saturday.

Today is the day when Zhen Xin's family and her close relatives come to Yang Xingyu's house as guests. This is a local custom, and all families who get married normally must go through this process.

In the early morning of this day, Yang Xingyu got up very early. During breakfast, his brother-in-law Yang Qingsi came.

Yang Qingsi was wearing a white-washed camouflage outfit today. Many men in rural areas like to buy this kind of clothing and wear it when doing work.

Yang Qingsi, who was wearing camouflage uniform, was carrying two old hens and a big black fish in his hands.

The big black fish uses straw from its mouth through its gills and carries it in its hand.

When we entered, the big black fish was still twisting and struggling, with mucus dripping from its body.

Yang Xingyu, who was having breakfast, saw him and asked with a smile: "Brother, what are you doing?"

Yang Qingsi laughed twice, raised the old hen and the big black fish in his hand, and said: "Today, today, you are not going to visit your partner! You, your little mother said, your family When we were building the house, all your chickens were eaten, and the chickens that were raised later had not grown up yet, so she caught two old hens and asked me to send them over."

Fang Xiaomei at the dining table asked curiously: "Then where did you get this black fish? Did you put it in the cage again last night?"

After Yang Qingsi got married, under the supervision of his wife, he was indeed much more diligent than before he got married. Not only did he raise chickens and ducks, grow grain and vegetables, but he also used his time in the morning and evening to find wasteland ponds and ditches to cage in the ground.

Sometimes you can get some fish and shrimp, and sometimes you can get eels, soft-shell turtles, etc.

While talking, Yang Qingsi had already put the things in the yard outside the restaurant.

Yang Xingyu feels that his uncle is a better person now than before.

At this time, Yang Qingshi asked: "Fourth, have you had breakfast? If not, just eat some here!"

Even after Yang Qing's fourth marriage, she still comes to Yang Xingyu's house every day to help with work.

After such a long time, Yang Qingsi, who had quarreled and fought with his eldest brother Yang Qingshi, has already improved his relationship with his eldest brother Yang Qingshi.

No, when he heard his elder brother calling for dinner, Yang Qingsi agreed without being polite. He went to the kitchen and brought a large bowl of noodles over, and sat down next to Yang Xingyu to eat.

Seeing this, Yang Xingyu smiled, picked up the plate on the table, and put two poached eggs into Yang Qingsi's bowl. When Yang Qingsi looked over, Yang Xingyu said, "Hey, eat the food! You're welcome."

Yang Qingsi grinned and nodded repeatedly.

He talks much less now than before he got married.

Yang Xingyu heard his mother say that after his brother-in-law got married, his mother often reminded him that if he stutters, he should talk less, smile more, and use gestures more.

Yang Qingsi, who had been famous in the village before, turned out to be a strict wife after getting married. Although he occasionally quarreled with his wife, most of the time he listened to his wife.

"Xiaoyu! When will the chef you arranged arrive? Don't miss today's lunch."

At this time, Fang Xiaomei asked.

Yang Xingyu laughed, "Don't worry! I just received a call from them. They are almost arriving in our village. Didn't I just ask Tiger to go to the village to meet them!"

In order to make today's lunch meal more beautiful, Yang Xingyu specially transferred two chefs from his own company.

With two chefs and the help of his own family, it is easy to prepare one or two tables of dishes today.

If those two chefs hadn't bought groceries and brought them over today, they would have arrived at Yang Xingyu's house by this time.

Fang Xiaomei looked relaxed and said with a smile: "That's good! I'm still afraid..."

At this moment, there was a roar of an engine outside the door of their home.

Yang Qingshi heard the sound, stood up quickly, left the restaurant with the noodle bowl, went to the main room in front, and looked out.

Then he turned back and shouted to the restaurant: "Xiaoyu! It's your second brother's car. Your second brother and the others are here."

Hearing this, Yang Xingyu smiled, put down his chopsticks, took out a napkin and wiped his mouth, then stood up and went out to greet him. Fang Xiaomei and Yang Qingsi had already left the restaurant and came to the main room in front.

The layout of the first floor of Yang Xingyu's new house is very simple, but although the dining room and the main room are connected, standing in the main room, one cannot see the whole scene in the dining room at a glance.

Because behind the main room is his parents' bedroom.

The main items in the main room are the offering table and the Eight Immortals table.

The Eight Immortals table can usually be inserted under the altar table.

On the left side of the main room is the living room where sofas and TVs are placed. It is only separated from the living room by a screen-style TV wall, so it can be considered connected.

Behind the living room are the stairs and the dining room.

The original three-room homestead was built in this two-bay layout, making each room seem quite large.

When Yang Xingyu came to the main room, he saw his second uncle's family of three getting out of the car, and his aunt and uncle also got out of the car.

Everyone had a smile on their face when they got out of the car.

Anyone who takes a quick look will feel that this is a harmonious big family.

And in fact?

Last summer, when he first came back from rebirth, their big family was in disarray and full of conflicts.

At that time, Yang Xingyu's parents and several of his uncles did not have a good relationship.

Now, only about a year and a half later, everything is different.

"Cauldron! Congratulations!"

Yang Qingguo, who had just gotten off the bus, congratulated his eldest brother Yang Qingshi with a smile on his face and clasped his fists.

His wife Meng Yun also greeted her eldest brother and sister-in-law with a smile on her face, "Brother and sister-in-law! Congratulations, I asked Qingguo to bring me here early today. Although I am not good at cooking, I can still wash vegetables. Yes, I’ll help wash the dishes later!”

These words surprised Yang Xingyu.

Because Meng Yun relied on her good family background and Yang Qingguo went to her house to marry into the family, every time she came to Yang Xingyu's house in the past, she never helped with the work. Every time before eating, she would sit next to her and chat with others. While waiting.

At this time, Meng Xinghe, who had not seen Yang Xingyu since he was a child. He was over 1.9 meters tall with thick eyebrows and big eyes. Taking advantage of his long legs, he strode up to Yang Xingyu with a sunny smile on his face. He raised his hand and followed Yang Xingyu greeted, "Brother! Congratulations! I heard that my sister-in-law is very beautiful. Brother, you are the one!"

With that said, Meng Xinghe gave Yang Xingyu a thumbs up.

This kid had never called Yang Xingyu "big brother" before. Because his family background was much better than that of Yang Xingyu, he always called Yang Xingyu by his first name every time they met him a few times since childhood.

If someone accuses him of being impolite, why not call him brother?

This kid always said plausibly that he was only a few months younger than Yang Xingyu and was the same age, so he should be called by his name.

But today, without anyone reminding him, this kid just naturally called "big brother".

Yang Xingyu chuckled and greeted him.

In my heart, I still prefer Zhong Xingfei calling him "big pot".

Maybe it's because Zhong Xingfei likes to chase after him and shout "big pot"! Yang Xingyu has always regarded Zhong Xingfei as his younger brother.

But with Meng Xinghe, Yang Xingyu always couldn't feel the feelings of a brother.

While talking, another van came to the door.

The first one to get out of the car was Tiger.

Then came the two chefs arranged by Yang Xingyu last night, and then Zhong Xingfei also got off the car. The last one to get off was Yang Xingyu's third uncle Yang Qingping.

Zhong Xingfei saw Yang Xingyu and ran over quickly. He first called out to the other elders, then ran to Yang Xingyu and shouted happily, "Big pot!" Then, seeing Meng Xinghe, Zhong Xingfei frowned, hesitated, and then squeezed out. He smiled and shouted "Er Guo."

In comparison, Meng Xinghe's city was much deeper. He responded with a smile on his face, and even stepped forward to pat Zhong Xingfei on the shoulder, who was about 1.8 meters tall, and praised: "Xiao Fei, your body is okay now." ! In the past, I always thought that although you are not short, your body is too thin, but now...well, do you weigh one hundred and sixty pounds now? Do you?"

Zhong Xingfei glanced at Yang Xingyu, and then replied: "No more, Da Guo lets me eat midnight snacks every day, and I now weigh more than 180 kilograms."

"what?"

Meng Xinghe took a step back in surprise, slightly distanced himself from Zhong Xingfei, and looked suspiciously up and down at Zhong Xingfei, who didn't look fat.

"With your size, you weigh over 180 pounds? It's impossible, right?"

Zhong Xingfei looked a little proud, raised his chin slightly, and said, "Can't you tell? Daguo taught me martial arts. I don't have much fat on my body."

"Brother also taught you martial arts?"

Meng Xinghe's expression changed slightly. He looked at Yang Xingyu and then at the strong Zhong Xingfei. He looked a little unhappy, probably because he realized that he might not be able to beat Zhong Xingfei now.

Back then, he and Yang Xingyu were wrestling in the water chestnut field. He was clearly half a head taller than Yang Xingyu at that time, but was easily knocked down by Yang Xingyu time and time again. He has always been haunted by this memory.

Later, as he grew taller and taller, reaching about 1.9 meters, he gradually felt that he should be able to beat Yang Xingyu. After all, the height gap between him and Yang Xingyu was even bigger.

But what had he just heard?

Zhong Xingfei said that Daguo taught him martial arts?

Doesn't this mean that both Zhong Xingfei and his eldest brother have practiced martial arts?

So is Meng Xinghe's height advantage still useful?

At this moment, no one gave him the answer, and he didn't dare to find the answer himself.

Yang Xingyu socialized at home for a while, then took the time to go to the kitchen to arrange the work for the day, and then asked Tiger to drive her to Zhen Xin's house.

Zhen Xin had never been to his house. On this day, he had to lead the way for Zhen Xin and her family.

……

The black Mercedes-Benz sedan was driving on the country road, heading straight towards the county town.

In the back seat of the car, Yang Xingyu, who was wearing a burgundy suit with dark patterns, had a calm expression, but his brows were slightly wrinkled.

Because he knew that today was not only the day when Zhen Xin's family came to visit his home, but also the day when Qi Meilan was going to the hospital to have an abortion.

But he couldn't spare the time to stop Qi Meilan today.

We can only hope that Qi Wentao and Ni Jieru can stop him.

This matter weighed on his heart like a stone. At this time, there was only him and Tiger in the car, no one else. He could finally take off his disguise and no longer had to show his smile.

I squinted at the large fields outside the window. There were rows of green rapeseed in the fields, but they were still small, so the large fields seemed very empty.

Every tree in the field has lost all its leaves due to the season, leaving only bare trees.

Such a scene made him feel more and more depressed.

He couldn't help but take out his mobile phone and wanted to call Ni Jieru and ask her if she was at Qi Meilan's house today? Did she give up Qi Meilan's idea of ​​having an abortion?

But when he took out his cell phone, he hesitated several times and finally gave up the idea of ​​calling Ni Jieru now.

He was afraid that this call would be seen by Qi Meilan, which would arouse Qi Meilan's suspicion of Ni Jieru.

On this day, Qi Meilan must not be allowed to suspect that Ni Jieru is on his side, Yang Xingyu.

In the past few days, he has thought more than once: Just let nature take its course, stop stopping Qi Meilan from having an abortion, and respect her own wishes!

but……

After all, what she was carrying in her belly was his first child in two lifetimes.

For him, who has been looking forward to a child for many years, he really hopes that this child can be born into this world.

What's more, there is always a shadow in his heart.

——In the original time and space, he and his brother-in-law Yang Qingsi were both unmarried and childless.

What now?

His brother-in-law got married with his help, but it has been more than a year since the marriage, and there is still no sign of pregnancy.

And what about Yang Xingyu?

He originally had two girlfriends, one was Zhen Xin and the other was Qi Meilan.

But by some mistake, he and Zhen Xin, who was not yet pregnant, received a marriage certificate, but Qi Meilan, who did not receive the certificate from him, became pregnant.

These things cannot be dwelled upon.

Thinking too much, he couldn't help but wonder if he and his brother-in-law Yang Qingsi were destined to be childless?

Otherwise, why would the current situation occur?

Qi Meilan, who did not get the certificate with him, is pregnant with his child. Once she aborts the child, Yang Xingyu will still not have a child of his own.

What if Zhen Xin fails to get pregnant in the future...

He didn't dare to think deeply about this issue.

He didn't want to believe in fate.

In the original time and space, if he believed in destiny, he would not bother so much and start a business again and again.

But after something as incredible as rebirth happened to him, his view of fate was a little shaken.

However, even so, he still didn't want to divorce Zhen Xin and marry Qi Meilan, so as to keep the child in Qi Meilan's belly.

In the final analysis, between trusting fate and trusting himself, he still believed in himself more.

Just like the famous saying of Dong Tianbao, the villain in the movie: I have no control over my fate.

Even though he, Yang Xingyu, had already suspected that there was such a thing as destiny, he still wanted to try his own methods to break the shackles of fate.

You can say that he is a stubborn person, or you can say that he is overconfident and stupid.

But that's the kind of character he is.

He doesn't want to change.

I have never thought about changing my personality.

Because he felt that a big factor in his success in business before was that he was stubborn enough. If he hadn't had this kind of personality, he would have definitely given up starting a business after failing twice.

……

After the car drove into the villa area where Zhen Xin's family was located, Yang Xingyu closed his eyes and adjusted his mood. When he opened his eyes again, his smile had returned and his energy and spirit had completely returned to a high-spirited state. .

The parking spaces in front of Zhen Xin's house are already full of cars.

Yang Xingyu's car had no place to park, so it parked in the neighbor's empty parking space.

Yang Xingyu opened the door and got out of the car calmly.

No one could tell what was on his mind today. (End of chapter)
