The happy life of the landlady

Chapter 291 Xu Deyu who was forced into marriage
After the family had a lively dinner, Xu Lijuan delivered the prepared gifts to Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi.

Xu Ankang was given a set of dark red Tang suits embroidered with the word "Auspicious" suitable for Chinese New Year, a gray tunic suit with a small stand-up collar that can be worn to work and meetings, and a dark blue pinstriped suit.

Du Mengqi's is a dark red cheongsam embroidered with peony flowers suitable for the New Year, a dark green cashmere dress embroidered with white plums that can be worn for work or leisure, a long-sleeved cheongsam dress with light lemon embroidered red plums, and a Knee length brown long coat with fox fur collar.

Mr. Xu just glanced at him, then looked away. He looked like he didn't care about what gifts Xu Lijuan gave to Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi, but in fact he was terrified: Look, Xiaojuan is still the most filial to him. There are six sets of Tang suits prepared for him!
Xu Deyu got a set of beige and a Tibetan tunic suit with a small stand-up collar, and a red Tang suit suitable for the New Year. At this moment, his eyes were fixed on Xu Ankang's gray tunic suit with a small stand-up collar but a more unique style. Turning around, he asked enviously: "Xiaojuan, can you prepare a few more Chinese tunic suits for me next time?" As a qualified lawyer, this kind of Chinese tunic suit that can highlight his elite temperament must not be let go. !It's a pity that those so-called international big-name stores hardly sell Chinese tunic suits, and occasionally they don't fit well. This kind of feeling of having money but not spending it makes people feel sad when they think about it.

After saying that, Xu Lao is not allowed to lose his temper, Xu Deyu handed out a bank card with great winking, waved his hand generously, and said: "You can spend the money in it as you like, if it is not enough, tell me again, and I will make another payment for you."

"Fifth brother, no need, a few sets of Chinese tunic suits won't cost much. I'm familiar with that tailor, so I'll call him later and let him order a few more sets."

Xu Lijuan pushed the bank card back, and still did not forget to tease: "However, Fifth Brother, I want to remind you that it is not like before. Marriage requires a lot of bride price for the woman, especially houses, cars and tickets. Little, otherwise, you will not be able to marry a daughter-in-law you like. In order to prevent you from continuing to be single, you should put away the private money that you plan to use to marry the fifth sister-in-law." But secretly He thought to himself: Xu Deyu dared to ignore her words, and didn't go home to accompany his grandfather once in half a month, hum, if he didn't take this rare opportunity to let him taste the pain of forced marriage, it would be too cheap for him!
"...Xiaojuan, if Xu Deyu knew what you were planning on him, guess what he would think?" Ding Dong, who was lying beside Xu Lijuan pretending to be sleeping, actually had his ears pricked up, not letting go of any gossip. The ground shed tears of sympathy for Xu Deyu, so to speak, this is what the ancients said, "I would rather offend a gentleman than a villain, and I would rather offend a villain than a woman."

"Fifth Brother won't know." Xu Lijuan paused for a moment, and then slowly added: "Besides, I'm just throwing bricks to attract ideas. Soon, he won't have the chance to think about it."

Sure enough, the next moment, Xu Deyu didn't have time to stare at Xu Lijuan, when Du Mengqi said with concern: "Xiao Wu, you are not young anymore, have you seen a girl you like? With our Xu family's current status , and you don’t need to marry another family, so if you meet someone you like, as long as the other person’s family background is clean and has a good personality, you must go after him in time, otherwise you will regret it if you are snatched away by others. I can't cry anymore. As for the dowry that Xiaojuan said, don't worry, we will prepare it for you."

Xu Ankang also nodded, and said sternly: "Xiao Wu, you will be 26 years old this year, and 28 years old this year. You really should pay close attention to this important event in your life. Usually, you always talk about 'establishing a career before starting a family'. I don't have much to say. However, now that your business is booming and you earn a lot of money every month, and you are one of the shareholders of the firm, you have already bought a house and a car. Like other ordinary employees, we think about things like wedding rooms and cars. Therefore, this major life event should be put on the agenda. It won’t take long. You can bring a girlfriend home for us to look at next year’s Chinese New Year. Trust me The second elder brother and the second sister-in-law will be very happy to know about this."

But when Mr. Xu heard this, he still didn't forget to add a sentence: "Xiao Wu, this is your task this year, and any other miscellaneous things, you put it aside for me first, and solve the major issues in life first." Now, let’s talk about other things.”

Holding a cup of tea, Xu Lijuan took a sip from time to time, with curved eyebrows and long eyelashes covering her snickering eyes, secretly looking forward to the wonderful scene of her brothers being forced into marriage during the Spring Festival...

Xu Deyu: "..." So, that's why he didn't want to go home!When he was studying a few years ago, every time everyone brought up this topic, they would just give a hint, and often stop, and he could pretend to be ignorant.When he graduated, everyone became clear that he could take "establish a career first and then start a family" without hesitation. The impact is not good" and other excuses to push the past.But this year, everyone directly abandoned the previous methods and started persecuting him directly!

If it is possible, Xu Deyu really wants to say: He also wants to get married, but he has not met a suitable person for marriage, so of course he can only continue to be single.

However, Xu Deyu also knew that if he really had to yell out these words, then what awaited him would definitely be a non-repeated blind date banquet every day!

That day, just thinking about it makes me feel terrible!

"This..." Xu Deyu's eyeballs rolled so fast that he didn't even bother to wipe off the cold sweat dripping from his forehead. He just caught the thought that flashed through his mind in time and expressed his sincerity. Said: "Fourth Uncle, Fourth Aunt, the relationship between you has moved me, a junior who is a nephew, after seeing it. Therefore, what I want to find is this kind of relationship that is like flowing water, respecting each other as guests, and supporting each other." ,but……"

When he said this, Xu Deyu showed a wry smile on purpose, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Girls in this society don't know what's wrong now, and those who are about the same background as me are raised to be squeamish, and they can't suffer at all. Every day we talk about gorgeous clothes and beautiful accessories, this kind of girls can only share riches and honors but not sufferings, once something happens to me, they will run faster one by one."

"Girls from a slightly lower family background and not so good family background really look good now, but who knows if there will be any bad changes after they marry me because of the different people and things they come into contact with? For example, I have changed my temperament, become a money worshiper, or have low self-esteem. In fact, I also know that these can be corrected. I am a lawyer. Although I don’t need a wife who can live in their absence like my brothers I don’t need her to give me any career help, but I definitely can’t hold me back at critical moments.”

"Those who come from different backgrounds will inevitably have many differences due to different living environments and different educations. This way of living is even more tiring. In my opinion, no matter how hard a sparrow works, it cannot become a phoenix."

……

"Fifth brother, if I remember correctly, you haven't had a formal relationship since you were young, right? Of course, secret love doesn't count." Xu Lijuan tilted her head, blinked, and looked at the talking with a puzzled expression. Xu Deyu did not miss the flash of joy and complacency in Xu Deyu's eyes when he found out that Mr. Xu, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi had become silent: "You have never been fooled by a girl. Why are you so pessimistic? Knock down a bunch of people with one stick! Leaving aside, the Xiaoyi and Xiaoxue I know are both very good girls, and there are even more good girls I don’t know. So, there are so many good girls, as long as you If you search carefully, you will always find the other half that belongs to you and absolutely fits your soul."

Xu Deyu: "..." Since ancient times, there are many people who have been "cheat fathers", but today he met a "cheat brother"!What a heartbreak!

Without deliberately checking, Xu Deyu can feel that Xu Lao, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi looked at him thoughtfully, or should be said to be calculating eyes, complaining repeatedly in his heart, but he couldn't bear to blame Xu Lijuan at all, helpless Under the circumstances, I could only look up at Xu Lijuan in feigned surprise: "Xiaojuan, why didn't I realize that you are so eloquent before? No wonder the old people often say 'Eighteen changes in female college', isn't it? It's only halfway through After not seeing each other for a month, Xiaojuan has undergone such a big change..."

"Really? Thank you Fifth Brother for your compliment." Xu Lijuan thanked her with a smile, then suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, Fifth Brother, we are discussing when you will get married now, so don't change the subject anymore! "

Not only that, Xu Lijuan did not forget to pull Xu Lao, Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi together: "Grandpa, Dad, Mom, do you think what I just said makes sense?"

"Well, that's true." Xu Lao nodded and looked at Xu Deyu solemnly: "Xiao Wu, I won't talk nonsense, anyway, you must bring a girlfriend home next year during the Chinese New Year, otherwise... "

"Grandpa, finding a girlfriend also depends on fate, it doesn't mean that you can have one..." Xu Deyu's face became more bitter, but he had to argue for himself.At this moment, he rarely missed Xu Deyou, Xu Dehui, Xu Dehai and Xu Deyao in his heart. No matter who these four were here, they would definitely help him share more than half of the firepower!

However, for his decision to return to the old house today, Xu Deyu didn't have the slightest regret, annoyance and other emotions that shouldn't appear.This is because the Xu family has been taught since childhood that "if you don't do it, it's fine. Now that you have made a decision, you must bear it no matter what the result is, and you must not implicate others with blame or grievance."

"That's your problem, I just look at the result." Mr. Xu waved his hand aggressively, then got up and said, "It's getting late, everyone, go back to your room and rest."

After walking a few steps, Mr. Xu suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at Xu Deyu who was sitting on the sofa with a serious face and wished he could shrink himself into a ball, and said, "Xiao Wu, wake up at five o'clock tomorrow morning with me." Go to morning exercise."

Xu Deyu, who has never enjoyed the sour feeling of getting up at five o'clock since he lived in school, was immediately dumbfounded: "Huh?" Grandpa, getting up at five o'clock will kill people!

Mr. Xu looked at Xu Deyu with a look of disgust, and his eyes stayed on Xu Deyu's small belly that was raised day and night, irregular meals, and frequent banquets, and then moved his eyes to Xu Deyu's long-term sun-raised belly Pale skin like a creamy niche, and finally shifted his gaze to the two dark circles on Xu Deyu's face that could not be ignored at all: "Just like you, go out and say it's the Xu family, I'll embarrass your grandpa ! With your sub-healthy appearance of smoking and drinking and irregular life schedule, who else would be interested in you except those who come for your money and status? Before you go back to sleep, think about it, and see what I said Is there any reason for that!"

After saying that, Mr. Xu turned around and left.

"..." Xu Deyu, who had been taught a lesson innocently, wished he could look up to the sky and roar.He doesn't smoke at all, and even drinks a little bit of wine only when socializing!When did a new and nice man like him turn into a useless person that everyone despises? !
This world where people only look at their faces and don't consider other external factors at all, is so desperate!

Xu Ankang and Du Mengqi looked at each other. In the end, Xu Ankang stood up first, walked to Xu Deyu's side, patted Xu Deyu's shoulder, and said: "Your grandfather is right, your body really needs to be strengthened. I Let me tell you, if this continues, it will probably not take a few years, and when you stand with me, everyone will suspect that you are my brother, not my nephew."

Du Mengqi also followed suit and said: "Don't worry, Xiao Wu, I will say something nice to your mother, so that she can save you from arranging a few blind date banquets for you. But, speaking of it, Xiao Wu, although I know you are usually very busy, but You also need to maintain a good habit of exercising, and I will recommend a few clubs for you later, maybe you can find like-minded friends there!"

"..." Don't bring such shocking words!Xu Deyu wiped away his tears with a sad face, and rarely kept his eyes on his belly.

...He... When did he have a belly?This unscientific!Obviously he also exercises for an hour every day...

In an instant, Xu Deyu's face turned from blue to white, then from white to red, and finally to as black as ink, and there was a mixture of sadness and annoyance emanating from his body.

The only thing that makes Xu Deyu happy is that his fair skin and thick dark circles are all caused by being too busy at work. He can adjust it after a period of rest, so he doesn't need to pay too much attention to it!
"Fifth brother, don't worry, I will wake you up on time at five o'clock tomorrow morning." Xu Lijuan tilted her head and added another knife with a smile: "However, fifth brother, I didn't expect it, I just haven't seen you in half a month. You have grown a small belly. Could it be that you often had dinner together in the office years ago, so you ate and drank without consideration? I didn’t expect you, fifth brother, to have a physique that is easy to gain weight. What if it’s those? People who are as skinny as they can eat will definitely be envious and jealous when they know about this..."

"Besides, Fifth Brother, why didn't I realize that your skin is actually fairer than a girl like mine? The only pity is that your pores are a bit big, there are blackheads on the tip of your nose, and your forehead is more shiny. Those two big dark circles under the eyes, if you say you are a 'national treasure', you will be tainted with the reputation of 'national treasure'! I will give you a set of toiletries later, although you are a man, you should also pay attention to your own health Face! I can't even imagine how you can go to and from get off work with such a terrible face..."

Xu Deyu: "..." Did he do something outrageous?Why are both of them deliberately targeting him!
"Poor Xu Deyu!" Ding Dang silently lit a few rows of candles for Xu Deyu, and asked pretending to be curious: "Xiaojuan, don't you worry, can your fifth brother get sick if he can't bear such a cruel blow?"

"If his psychological endurance is really that bad, it is impossible for him to resist the iron fist policy of his grandfather and second uncle, insist on becoming a lawyer, and make achievements in just a few years." According to the information provided by Xiao Q For the beauty and fitness plan, Xu Lijuan took out a bath ball in the shape of peach blossom petals and threw it into the bathtub. Soon, the bath ball swelled to the size of a basketball and exploded. The bathtub was full of fresh peach blossom petals, and even the air There is also a faint peach blossom aroma.

"Okay, Ding Dong, you can go out now."

"Tsk..." Ding Dang wrinkled his nose slightly, glanced at the misty bath room, couldn't help but shook his head and sighed: "I really don't understand what you women are thinking all day long. Is appearance really that important? Do you spend hours on maintenance? Even the reason why you get up so early every day to exercise is to maintain a good figure..."

For Xu Deyu, who never paid attention to face-saving projects before, because Xu Lijuan's words were called "picks", which were actually words of persuasion, he accepted the specially selected set of maintenance products sent by Xu Lijuan, and did not hesitate. Doing this according to the schedule provided by Xu Lijuan, Ding Dong didn't know how to evaluate it!

It's enough for women to pay attention to their own appearance and skin. Even men have begun to pay attention to these. How can this world not become a world of looking at faces?

"Because you are a cat, of course you don't understand." Xu Lijuan took the time to reply, and after successfully choking Ding Dong until she rolled her eyes, she closed the door, took off her pajamas, and lay down in the bathtub, enjoying the time alone The kind of leisurely quiet time.

Xu Lijuan enjoys her current life very much, not only because she has become more beautiful and healthy; not only because Lin Haocang relied on the downfall of the Lin family, which made her avenge her past life; Chudie, the three women who had designed and framed her more than once in her previous life, rectified them, thus venting the pent-up anger in her heart; it was because of this new life, and because of her efforts, the family members were brought closer together. linked together.

Even RMB is loved and hated by some, not to mention the Xu family who stands on a high ground. Who can be sure that the family that cooperates with the Xu family today will not make trouble for the Xu family in the future?It is said that "rely on the mountains to fall, rely on the water to flow, and rely on everyone to run", so relying on one's own strength at all times is a truth that everyone living in this world needs to understand.

"One chopstick is broken lightly, and ten chopsticks are huddled together." This situation is applicable to any occasion, and of course it is also suitable for a family like the Xu family...

******
Winter is a season suitable for sleeping in, especially at five or six o'clock in the morning, when you sleep soundly, but this is all in the past, and at five o'clock this morning, Xu Deyu, who was immersed in a sweet dream, was suddenly shocked The coldness woke me up.

Although Xu Deyu did not continue the tradition of the Xu family to enter the military academy, he spent every winter and summer vacation in the army when he was studying. Alertness did not diminish as a result.

However, when Xu Deyu discovered that the person standing in front of him was Xu Lijuan, the vigilance and vigilance in his eyes disappeared immediately, and he stretched out his hand to pull the quilt back, but he did not forget to mutter: "Xiaojuan, I have already I only slept for two or three hours every night for half a month, and it is rare for me to sleep in, so you let me sleep for a while, okay?"

If someone else dared to trespass into his bedroom and do something like disturbing his sleep, Xu Deyu would definitely let the other party deeply understand what is called "getting up".However, it was his beloved little sister Xu Lijuan who made such a move now, so Xu Deyu immediately put aside the vicious thoughts that came to his mind, only full of helplessness and annoyance.

Xu Deyu didn't pay much attention to why Xiaohua, a Tibetan mastiff who was lying prone in her room and was extremely vigilant at all times, ignored Xu Lijuan's invasion.Who told him to let Xiao Hua eat, sleep, drink, and have fun no matter how busy he is usually, he was afraid that if he was a little careless, he would suffer from depression after staying in the city made of concrete and steel for many years, but if his orders were the same as Xu Lijuan If there is a conflict between Xu Lijuan's orders, then Xiaohua will absolutely carry out Xu Lijuan's orders without any discount!

If it is said that when he first discovered this situation, Xu Deyu was depressed in his heart, and even secretly mad in private, but when he found out that whether it was Xu Lao's Xiaohu, Xu Ankang's Wangcai, or Du Mengqi All the raised snow balls regard Xu Lijuan as the first owner, and when they regard other people as the second owner, they suddenly feel comforted.

In fact, Xu Lijuan is quite helpless about this point. Who made these animals be intelligent robot bodyguards, and Ding Dong beside her happens to be the same "god" that is related to the hearts and eyes of intelligent robot animals Woolen cloth!
