hello miss bankrupt

Chapter 58. Ugly daughter-in-law also wants to see her in-laws ([-])

Only then did the man come to his senses, nodded slightly to Ning Xi'er, wiped the sweat off his forehead and said, "Oh, I'm sorry Miss Ning, I forgot, I'm the boss's assistant, and our boss asked us to bring these things up for you. Take a look to see if there is anything missing, there are some below..."

"what?"

"This is the West Lake Longjing that the boss ordered a week ago, and Maojian, and here, this is..." The other party pointed to the beautifully packaged gift boxes and introduced them one by one.

Listening to the other party's introduction, she casually opened a box of exquisitely packaged gift boxes. The astonishing price on it made Ning Xi'er a little dumbfounded. Indeed, her father loves drinking tea, playing chess and teasing birds. I don't have any other hobbies, and I don't know where the other party found out about it, but I actually bought everything that can be bought, oh, no, there are also birds, of course the other party should not even prepare thrushes, I'm touched Besides, it made Ning Xi'er a little dumbfounded.

"Where's Zi Mo?" Ning Xi'er hurriedly asked the assistant as she looked at a very delicate tea set in her hand.

"The boss should be consulting on the selection of thrushes and attention to breeding."

"..." Hey, this person really is.

Only when Ning Xi'er was sure that she really didn't need to buy a thrush, and her father had just raised one recently, did the other party give up the idea.

When Zi Mo came home, she saw Ning Xier picking out gifts one by one, looking at them again and then putting them back in their original places, a little puzzled, she stepped forward and asked, "What's the matter, can't you?"

"Ah no, no," he waved his hand at the other party, there were too many things, "I'm just picking two."

"Why? I gave you all these things before." Guan Zimo raised his eyebrows, not understanding. Could it be that the gifts she chose were not good?

"Fool, giving gifts is what you think about. Look at you. You bought so many things. The gifts are overwhelming. You give so many things. People think my father is selling his daughter." arm.

Selling her daughter... She hoped so. If her father was a money-greedy kind, she could use money to offset her concerns, but unfortunately not.Looking at the dazzling array of products, she thought for a while and said, "Then we will deliver the rest one by one." Indeed, she doesn't understand the rules of delivering things, and she seldom celebrates festivals with her elders. Gifts are given to the secretary.Because she knew that she didn't like them, and they didn't like her either. Although she had met and talked with Ning Jiaxu before, she didn't reveal her identity at that time, and she didn't know much about the other party's psychology. This uncontrollable sense of strangeness really made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she wanted to do better, even better... As for whether the other party can accept her calmly, Xier must be hers, there is no doubt about it.

"Zimo, what do you think of this one? A box of tea and a set of tea sets, it's very exquisite." Ning Xi'er handed the one she chose to the other party.Not too big, not too small, the packaging is exquisite and not too grand, just right.The other party nodded to her. Naturally, she understood her father better.

--------------

In the early morning of the next day, looking at the gradually brightening sun above my head, I thought in my heart that today is really a refreshing and fine weather.They drove to Ning Xier's hometown, which can be said to be a water town without too much industrial pollution, because this small town is not far from their metropolis in City A, and it would take only two or three hours to get there by driving on the highway. When she saw some old street signs through the car window, Ning Xier felt a strong sense of nostalgia. She lived in this small town with her grandparents when she was a child, and she was picked up by her parents when she was in kindergarten. Arrived in City A, so she still has a special affection for this place.Since her grandparents passed away, she has never been here again. Thinking about it, it has been four or five years. I can't help but sigh how time flies, and I can't help but feel a little sad.When she found out that her father was living in her hometown on the phone, she was still surprised. Now that she thinks about it, maybe her father’s mood has changed after going through a series of changes in the company. She looked up at the birds flying by from time to time outside the car window, There is also the old grandma who is smiling slightly on the road. Without the hustle and bustle of the big city, some have a quiet and simple slow-paced life. Maybe she can understand why her father chose to stay here.

"If I remember correctly, there are no traffic lights here, so drive slowly." Ning Xi'er looked at the steamed stuffed bun shop at the corner, and gently reminded the other party to pay attention.

"Ah."

They parked their cars in a parking lot not far from home. Although it was a parking lot, there were only a few old-fashioned cars in it. Because the roads in the town were narrow and slippery, people here rarely drove over.Ning Xi'er and Zi Mo got out of the car, took a deep breath, and the scent of grass that penetrated into the heart made Ning Xi'er couldn't help sighing, the air is so good.

She looked at the guy next to her still expressionless. Although she didn't say much, she thoughtfully took out the gift box and other things from the trunk and stood behind her.She reached out to share.

"It's okay." The other party looked at her softly.

"Then let's go, we'll be there at most dozens of meters away, look at the pharmacy in front, that's it." Guan Zimo looked in the direction of Ning Xier's finger, and there was a pharmacy not far away. Ning Xier said that her father opened a pharmacy in her hometown.

"Attention, the ground is wet. When I was a child, I often slipped and fell down here." She didn't expect this alley to be there until now, and she dragged him into a somewhat damp stone path.

"Hmm." Guan Zimo followed behind her, looking curiously at the buildings of some ages here, and stepped on the stone slabs that the person in front stepped on with his toes. Are these places the footprints of this person's childhood life?I can't help but imagine Ning Xi'er trotting along this path with two braids when she was a child...

"Ah—isn't this Xiaoxi?" A woman wearing a headscarf stood at the corner, looking at them.

Ning Xi'er followed the voice, and looked at the woman dumbly. She was deeply impressed in her memory, but she couldn't call her name for a while, "Auntie, I am..."

The woman smiled, quickly wiped her hands with her apron, grabbed Ning Xi'er and muttered, "Oh, what I said, it must be Xiaoxi, let Auntie take a good look, it's been a long time since I saw you , have become big girls!"

Ning Xi'er had a sharp nose and smelled the sweet aroma of glutinous rice. She immediately reacted and gave the woman a hug, "Aunt Zhang, are you making rice cakes again?"

"Really, it's a good thing I made rice cakes, otherwise you won't remember me." The other party scratched Ning Xi'er's nose, pretending to be angry.

"No way, Aunt Zhang is getting younger and more beautiful. I don't even know what to call her. I'm hesitating whether I should call her sister Zhang or..." Ning Xi'er said shyly.

"All right, all right, I'll count your sweetest mouth." The woman paused and looked towards Ning Xi'er, then raised her head to look at the woman who kept silent but fixed her gaze on Xiao Xi, " This is your friend?"

"Well, she is..."

"Hello, Auntie." Guan Zimo stretched out his hand to say hello to the woman, knowing that she knew Xi'er since she was a child, her facial expression softened a lot.

"Ah, hello, hello." Aunt Zhang wiped her hands again with some embarrassment, and shook hands with the other party. She had never seen such a person with a mixed-race face, not to mention that the other party's behavior exuded invisible Oppressive force, thinking about it, is also a useful talent in society, maybe this is the person Lao Ning revealed to her in distress. "You guys have dinner at Auntie's place at noon today." Aunt Zhang thought about leading them into the house.

"No, no, Aunt Zhang, we have to go and see my dad first, you know his stubborn temper." Ning Xi'er kindly thanked him.

"Okay, wait a minute." After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she walked back to the house with small steps, and after a while, she handed them a big bag of steaming soft rice cakes.

"Aunt Zhang, you are too polite, this is too much." Ning Xi'er was a little embarrassed, she didn't think carefully when she came here, and didn't prepare any gifts for Aunt Zhang.

"Hey, what's so much, you could eat a scoop when you were young." Aunt Zhang pretended to be angry, and took two green dumplings from it for them to taste first.

Guan Zimo glanced at Ning Xi'er in a daze.

"Take a look, the rice cakes made by Aunt Zhang are at the palace level." Ning Xi'er motioned for the other party to have a taste.

I couldn't shirk it, so I took it, and said softly, "Thank you, auntie." After taking a bite, the stuffing mixed with ground mugwort leaves and white sugar was sweet but not greasy, quite fresh, and tasted good.

They bid farewell to Aunt Zhang, who has a gentle personality. In fact, Aunt Zhang's house lives opposite her hometown, and it is only a few steps away. This is why Ning Xi'er liked to eat and drink at Aunt Zhang's house since she was a child. I also know that Aunt Zhang is a widow. Aunt Zhang likes to make rice cakes with her head crossed. When she was young, she was one of the most beautiful women in the town. In fact, she has always liked her father, but her father is elm-headed and clueless.

Sighed.

"What's wrong?" Guan Zimo looked at her and asked, with a little green on his mouth.

Ning Xi'er gently wiped it off for the other party, "It's delicious without eyes~" She was about to wipe it off with a tissue, but the other party stopped her hand and licked the rice cake on her hand, Ning Xi'er blushed with her bright eyes Glaring at him, he hurriedly pulled the other party forward.

When they came to the door, Ning Xier took a deep breath, calmed down her excitement and rang the doorbell, looked at the people around her, and held Zi Mo's cold hand as if giving them strength, "It's okay, with me, remember the corner of your mouth Lift it up a little."

The door opened, and a middle-aged man wearing a Chinese tunic suit at home came into view.With Ning Xi'er's voice happily yelling, "Dad, we're back." Then he gave the man a big hug.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back, hey, my daughter has lost weight for showing dad." The man held Ning Xi'er's face and looked at it with a smile on his face, his tone was full of respect from the elders to the younger ones. Distressed.

"I'm not so skinny. Look at my face and my arms are so thick." Ning Xi'er exaggeratedly shook her arms and made a grimace. Jiaochen's father liked to babble like this.

"Okay, okay, the eldest girl is so unpretentious." She looked up at the woman standing next to Ning Xi'er, concealed the surprise in her eyes, and greeted them into the house, "You have worked hard all the way, Let's talk in the house first."

The two of them entered the room without sitting down. When Father Ning closed the door and came back, Ning Xi'er glanced at Guan Zimo, shook each other's hand, walked to her father, and put her arms around her father's chest. Arm, bit her lip and said firmly, "Dad, this is Zimo, Guan Zimo, um, she is my lover." After saying this, Ning Xier felt uneasy and looked nervously at own father.

After hearing this, Guan Zimo's surprised expression flashed in her eyes. The other party unexpectedly did not introduce herself as a lover or girlfriend, but directly said "lover". There were ripples in her heart.

"Hello, Uncle." The woman's voice was quiet and cold. She always stood behind Xi'er, her gaze was as focused and cold as her voice, but when it touched Ning Xi'er, it was much softer.
