I'm just sorry for plagiarism

"Just now I ran into my neighbor, Aunt Wang. Guess what she said? She said that your car can't even compare to the fried skewers next door! Let me tell you about you, we are all laughed at, and I really don't think about buying it. A new car? I think the new Land Rover next door is pretty good."

The old man was curiously waiting for his daughter to reveal the secret, but he didn't expect that his wife's nagging complaints came. Suddenly, a half-smile appeared on his face, and he felt helpless.

But he was not willing to yell at her, just smiled awkwardly, half prevarication, half pampering and sighed.

"We'll talk about this when we go back, shall we?"

And Li Xia was able to breathe a long sigh of relief, and closed his mouth.

----

Back home, Dad went to work as usual.

Today is a bit different from usual, my mother didn't deal with the leftovers in the kitchen, but returned to her room, carefully choosing the dress for the next banquet.

That's right, the dinner hosted by the big boss of the outside merchant was scheduled to be held on the evening of the fifth day of the lunar new year.

The location is quite close to West Street, but I didn't choose the restaurant in the prosperous commercial street, but a high-end hotel next to it that doesn't belong to West Street.

I don't know if this move has ulterior motives.

As for the candidates for the invitation, it was not as extensive as Li Xia thought before. After all, the venue was limited, and most of the people invited were the rich or the noble in Yecheng.

For example, Father Yu, as well as the three brothers of the Xia family, all received invitation letters together.

Speaking of which, the eldest brother and the second brother of the Xia family are full of money and are not considered locals. After all, they went out to make a fortune in the early years, and they are more like merchants from other provinces.

Perhaps the old class also meant to form good karma, and he did not know from which channel he turned up the contact information of these people and threw out an olive branch.

And for the uncles and uncles of the Xia family who always liked to join in the fun, such a good opportunity would definitely not be missed.

They came and went, even the dinner at Lao Xia's family was postponed to the fifth day of the lunar new year.

The eldest lady nestled herself in her father's study room, while guarding against her mother's sudden push of the door, while carefully updating the plot behind her.

My mother usually likes to hold a mop in front of the door while cleaning and whining, complaining that her children don't come to help, but when Li Xia walks out of the door, she will push the girl back into the room inside.

"You finally came back, why are you willing to let you work? Go back to the house and lie down."

It's really ridiculous.

Only today is a special case.

Mom didn't mess around with the cleaning of the room anymore, but stuck herself in the dressing room by herself, and the bed was covered with all kinds of scattered clothes, autumn, winter, summer, formal and evening dresses Everything is ready, and they are gesturing in front of them one by one.

The woman in the mirror is full of headaches.

"This one doesn't work."

"The color is not good."

"This one is pretty good, and the color is bright, but the size is a bit..." My mother put the skirt on her body and took a picture. Looking at the figure in the mirror that had a little more than the skirt out of thin air, she couldn't feel it lightly. Tsk.

Although my mother hasn't gained much weight in the past two years, almost all the good-looking clothes were bought when she was young. After more than ten years, she will wear them again, and it is inevitable that the size will not fit.

Well, although my mother often talks about her face, in fact, the life of daily necessities for the past two years has gradually been carved into her bones, and she usually just chatters a little bit, and she doesn't really feel dissatisfied.

It's just that she devoted herself wholeheartedly to this dinner party.

After all, in addition to the invitation to their Xia family this time, some family members of relatively wealthy small bosses in the neighbors also received invitations.

Just kidding, my mother has always been remembered by these people's sarcasm overtly and secretly. Now that she finally has the opportunity to improve her face, how can she give up so easily?

So far, my mother still vaguely remembers that after her child passed the Mingde examination, the seven aunts and eight aunts around her seemed to envy her, but in fact they made comments with guns and sticks.

"The children of Lao Xia's family are so powerful, they are studying in Mingde."

"That's right, that's the hope of the Xia family. After all, their family needs someone who can change their destiny with knowledge..."

What is a family like Lao Xia?What happened to their family, is it poor?Must knowledge be needed to change destiny?Is there no hope if you can't get into a good university?This kind of statement, this kind of rumor, is too vicious.

But for this matter, the father is also very helpless.

I work in the company, although the whole company knows that I am such a big leader, but I am usually busy and don't touch the ground, and I rarely come home to sit around, come and go, these neighbors who have no news will naturally return Xia The family imagined as the poor and dilapidated family in the past.

Coupled with Dad's picky personality, he would not even give up for a better car, and the gossip became more and more substantiated.

So today, my mother purposely wants to show off her pretty clothes and show off the financial resources of their Xia family. The purpose is to tell these neighbors who like to gossip, that their old Xia family is not short of money at all!

After all, what is a person's family background, in addition to those extravagant accessories, temperament is also one of the considerations!

It's just that if Li Xia hears this kind of thinking, he might think his mother is silly and cute.

If you really want to prove yourself, in fact, you don't need to go through so much trouble, right?

Aren't the two uncles of my family also among the dragons and phoenixes of the mixed people?They're not as low-key as Daddy Xia, and they've managed to steal the limelight in the city. When the three of them stand together, how can those good-hearted Seventh Aunts who have a bit of vision not understand the situation?

Chapter 168 Chapter 165

Mom stayed in her house for a long time this afternoon.

In addition to choosing clothes, she also carefully painted her makeup, put on some blush and foundation, and undoubtedly showed her original beautiful face.

In all fairness, my mother has never been considered ugly, even when she was young, she was still a famous beauty.

Perhaps it is also for this reason that those neighbors like to chew their mother's tongue behind their backs the most.

After all, the children are promising, and the elders are beautiful again. The only thing that can be regarded as a point of retaliation is the vague and seemingly poor background, right?

Although the real situation is not as bad as these neighborhoods imagined.

But jealousy makes people ugly.

But this time, for the first time, Master Mushang did not force her daughter Lixia to put on makeup and clean up, but instead focused all her attention on herself.

This waiting time is a bit long.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, Li Xia didn't have much of a full lunch, and now his stomach was already growling with hunger.

She opened the refrigerator and looked at the emptiness inside, then rolled her eyes at the chopping board in the kitchen where the pot hadn't been opened, and couldn't help knocking on the door of her mother's room.

"mom!"

"Why?" A hazy female voice answered from the door.

"I'm hungry!" Li Xia's yell sounded extremely weak.

Coincidentally at this time, the stomach also let out a particularly appropriate "grunt" and sang a duet with the host.

Then the door of the room slammed open.

"so troublesome."

The mother clicked her tongue softly, but when she came out of the back room, seeing her unfinished red and green makeup, Li Xia was startled by that miserable look: "Mom, what are you doing?"

"Rectify the name of our old Xia's family? What else can I do?" The mother replied naturally, perhaps because she noticed her daughter's weirdness, she looked at the glasses belatedly, and lightly touched her blush. cheeks.

"Oh, you said this, don't worry, I'm trying on makeup, and it won't be like this when the painting is finished."

As she spoke, she opened the cupboard, took out a box of instant noodles and threw it on her daughter's head, and then returned to her little room without saying a word.

"If you're really hungry, use this pack of instant noodles first. Your mother is very busy now. Let's have a big meal together in the evening!"

Seeing her lazy and casual appearance, Li Xia immediately felt helpless.

But at home, the role of the pillar has always been played by my mother, and I dare not object to what she says.

Naturally, he didn't dare to spoil her interest in makeup.

At the moment, he could only sigh, opened the instant noodles casually, and ate a so-so meal.

Once this person's stomach is full, his eyelids are very easy to get sleepy.What's more, Li Xia is a girl who is as lazy as a kitten even in school.

After a while, Li Xia lay on the sofa, and fell asleep vaguely with the sound of the TV turned down very low.

When he woke up again, it was already evening.

In the winter sky, naturally there is no so-called twilight, and the bright colors on the sky are subdued almost in the blink of an eye.What followed was a bleak starlight.

Li Xia yawned, but his mother turned on the headlights in the dark living room.

I haven't seen the sun for a long time, and the sudden bright white is especially dazzling. It's just that the eldest lady stared at the beautiful person who looked like a new life in front of her, but she unconsciously widened her stinging eyes.

what happened?Is the woman standing in front of her really her mother?

Instead, the weird red, green and green makeup on her face was swept away, and the woman standing in front of her seemed to be more than ten years younger.

This delicate skin, delicate facial features, a touch of blush on the face is even more charming, the delicate hairstyle hangs obliquely on the back of the delicate neck like a waterfall, and the bright white and elegant evening dress is even more beautiful. Beautiful and attractive.

Such a beautiful woman like a dream, is she really the old mother I see on weekdays?

Li Xia stared blankly, his eyes widened in surprise.

Staring straight at it, I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.

speak up.

In fact, my mother is indeed a beauty. Although her delicate facial features are covered by the increasingly rich daily necessities and even traces left by the years, it is still difficult to hide her beautiful appearance.

It's just that even though he was used to seeing that face in his usual state, Li Xia was still speechless in surprise, which is enough to show how amazing and charming the carefully decorated mother is.

Again.

Is this really my mother?

This change is too big, right?

"What's the matter with you, why are you in a daze?" Perhaps sensing her daughter's gaze, the mother pulled her hair at the temples strangely.His expression became twitchy, "Hey, it's been a long time since I wore this outfit. The last time I dressed like this was when I married your father."

Before she finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the room.

"Why isn't it healed yet? Just tidy up casually, don't you need to be so troublesome?" Dad yelled, with some impatience in his words, and opened the door.

As a result, he was a little impatient, when he looked at the exquisitely carved person in the room.

Dad was also completely stunned.

"Xiaoqing..."

I don't know how long it took before he came back to his senses, lowered his head, and sighed softly.

----

Xiaoqing?

Indeed, my mother's name did carry a green character.

But if the old man yelled Xiaoqing one by one, the daughter of the Xia family would definitely be very embarrassed.

This is too nasty...

what is this?Show affection?The air smells like a single dog?So do we need to talk more about who is single among the three people in a car?

Ever since seeing his mother's new make-up, Dad Xia's attitude has changed completely, and he stopped shouting. When he went downstairs to drive the car out, he even offered to help his mother open the passenger door. Then he bowed like a waiter in a western restaurant...

My mother was also a little surprised by this attitude, she covered her mouth, put one foot in, and for the first time, she didn't bring her husband's rotten car.

This kind of atmosphere where the old couple who have been quarreling for many years suddenly quiet down is really strange.

The eldest lady sat alone in the rear driver's seat and watched, her eyes shifted from father to mother, and she squinted her eyes.

Father Xia held the steering wheel with a smile, and before starting the accelerator, he glanced at his mother sitting beside him affectionately: "Xiaoqing, you really have changed a lot today."

So say it!Wouldn't it be enough to call out your name?You can call me dear or wife!What the hell is calling a nickname?It's too shameful...

Li Xia sat in the back and covered his ears, whether he listened or not to the flirting and scolding of these two people, it was extremely embarrassing.

what is this?When we usually watch TV together, occasionally in the show, the male and female protagonists look at each other and kiss each other, and the family members will pretend that they have something to do and escape from the sofa, but today Lao Xia is so open-minded as if he had taken the wrong medicine. Is that some old-fashioned stingy guy in Zhili?

"I hate it, why are you talking about this?" Mom said shyly.

The old man just laughed, "At least we are going out for dinner, how about some music to create the atmosphere?"

Then, he turned on the button of the car music.

Dad usually doesn't say he is particularly serious, but he usually pays more attention to national affairs when he is driving. After all, whether it is West Street or Blue Sky Media, their operating purpose is to follow the trajectory of the country.But now, it is really rare to deliberately switch the channel from the news network to the lyrical love radio station.

It just so happened that the host on the radio station was still there introducing the transition music: "The following is a new song from singer Zhou Qiluo, "Love You 780 Days", please enjoy it..."

Zhou Qiluo is one of the new generation of singers in this life. Not only is she beautiful, but she also has a very good singing voice. In addition, she has quite good acting skills. Even if she is not yet thirty, she has attracted a lot of people in the entertainment industry. fan.Of course, it was also because she was so popular that the company abandoned the car to protect the handsome guy, and pushed Cheng Qiqi to take the blame.

Having such a thing to worry about, and listening to Zhou Qiluo's voice again, no matter how beautiful it sounds, Li Xia is still a little shy.

But the old man didn't know why, so he said leisurely, "Xiaoqing, I think, with makeup on, you are even more beautiful than this Zhou Qiluo."

This flattery was too obvious, my mother didn't say anything, but Li Xia hid in the back seat and rolled her eyes silently.
