The next day.
Sunday.
I came back a little late from Old Master last night and just chatted with Xie Ran and the others. Dong Xuebin naturally took a late nap in the morning. It was only after ten o'clock in the morning. Master Bedroom got up from the second floor of his villa with Si Ji Qing Bridge, kicked off the quilt and got out of bed to wash up.
Wash your face.

While I was fussing about it, the phone rang at home.
Dong Xuebin hurriedly wiped his face with a towel and went out to pick up the grade on the second floor. No one had lived in the house for a long time, and there was a layer of fine dust on the phone. When he touched Dong Xuebin's hand, it was not so clean. Originally I bought this place for Mom Luan Xiaoping. Mom married Uncle Yang, which was considered as a filial piety on his part as a son. However, Mom would live there if he wanted, and Dong Xuebin and Xie Huilan were not in Capital City either. Naturally, the house became empty like this. Three months a year It is estimated that only three or four days can be accommodated in one hundred and sixty-five days. People only borrow Dong Xuebin for a while if they have something to do or have a party. Dong Xuebin basically does not live there. Even if I come back to Capital City occasionally to do business, I am still used to living in Courtyard House. It is so pleasant to live there. It is a large area and it is still in the city center.
"Hello, who's there?" Dong Xuebin didn't use his home phone very much. He showed that he had one, but he didn't save anyone's number, and he didn't know who it was.
"It's me." It was the mother-in-law's voice over there.
Dong Xuebin smiled and said, "Mom, you got up so early?"
Han Jing said funny, "It's still early, it's already past ten o'clock, you just got up, right?"
Dong Xuebin hummed, "I'm just washing my face. I'm not in a hurry so I'm going to sleep in today. My flight is booked for 7pm."
Han Jing said, "You finally come back, why don't you stay a few more days?"
Dong Xuebin smiled bitterly and said, "There are still a lot of things going on in the county. I really can't leave. Come on next time, Mom. I will definitely spend more time with you and my dad when I come back next time."
Han Jing sighed, "You and Hui Lan are leaving. There is no one around me to talk to, and even if I want to see my grandson, he can't see me. Oh, forget it. I know you are busy and you are just about to get excited. Mom just complains, haha, just come back often. By the way, will you come at noon? Old Master here? Your uncle and aunt took Xie Ran to have dinner with Xiao Ling's family to discuss the engagement. ** and you Second Uncle also went to work. We should be the only ones today. Oh yes, Xiao Jing Xiao Hao also came here."
Dong Xuebin said, "Okay, then I'll pack up my things and I'll definitely arrive at twelve o'clock."
"Don't be in a hurry. Anyway, it only takes five minutes and ten minutes to drive there." Han Jing said.
Dong Xuebin's villa is near Fourth Ring Road in the west, almost next to Old Master's house, just a few kilometers away. So Dong Xuebin was not in a hurry to go out. Seeing that the sun was dazzling today and the weather was good, he searched for a pair of swimming trunks that he had bought before from the cabinet for a long time, inflated a small air mattress, and went downstairs to Backyard's swimming pool with the air mattress. It was full of leaves and soil and was not very clean. After all, it had not been used for a long time. Dong Xuebin simply cleaned it as quickly as possible, and then filled the swimming pool with water.
The water is very clear.
It sparkles in the sun and is very beautiful.
Dong Xuebin couldn't wait any longer, so he jumped into the water and swam back and forth twice. It was not yet a hot day, nor was it the climate for outdoor swimming. Dong Xuebin immediately felt colder and colder. Shivering, he quickly grabbed the air mattress and climbed up. He just leaned on the air mattress and floated on the water to bask in the sun.
It feels good.
How comfortable and comfortable it is.
Dong Xuebin In the end, I squinted my eyes and rowed to the shore to smoke a cigarette. I felt that my whole body was very relaxed. It is really good to enjoy life once in a while. The Power of Time and Wealth 1955
half an hour...
One hour...
Dong Xuebin, who was leisurely, finally fell asleep. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the sun had already reached the top of his head. Dong Xuebin let out a sigh, tilted his body from the air mattress and flipped into the water with a splash. Dong Xuebin poked his head out of the water. He quickly swam ashore, ran into the house, and looked at his watch. Well, it was already half past twelve. He quickly went to get dressed and get some things, and drove to Old Master. Isn't this a delay? He had just made an appointment with his mother-in-law to arrive before twelve o'clock, but it was already so late.
Not at all.
Dong Xuebin pressed the doorbell of Old Master's villa awkwardly.
The door opened, and it was Xie Jing who opened the door, "Brother-in-law, you are too late."
"I know, I know, where is my mother? Where is my grandpa?" Dong Xuebin walked inside.
"Auntie is inside. Grandpa has finished eating and went upstairs to take a nap." Xie Jing closed the door behind him.
In the living room, Han Jing and Ci Lifen were sitting on the sofa chatting. They were the only two elders there. Xie Guobang and Xie Guojian were not seen. They must be at work at work, and then It was Xie Hao who was playing with a tablet computer in the corner of the living room. He was probably playing a game by "touching" him. While playing, he made sounds in his mouth to match the actions in the game. When Dong Xuebin came in, he didn't even look at it, he was just playing by himself.
"Mom." Dong Xuebin said with a smile.
Han Jing looked at him and said, "See what time it is."
Dong Xuebin hurriedly apologized and said with a smile, "I swam for a swim, but ended up lying on the air mattress in the swimming pool and fell asleep. I had to rely on me. What, do you still have food?"
Ci Lifen smiled and said, "Yes, it's just leftovers."
"My mother cooked those too, and the leftovers are more delicious than those made in ordinary big restaurants." Dong Xuebin said flatteringly.
Han Jing laughed for a moment and said, "This kid has a sweet mouth. Okay, wash your hands and get ready to eat. Mom will heat up the food for you."
"No, no, just sit back and I'll go by myself." Dong Xuebin went to the kitchen.
Xie Jing said, "I really envy me Brother-in-law. I also want a private swimming pool."
Ci Lifen smiled and said, "In our family, you Brother-in-law are the only one who has this kind of treatment. Even Old Master has never lived in a villa with a swimming pool."
This is true. They Xie Family are not without money, but they can't afford this kind of villa. The public's current perception is that as long as an official has money, he must have several villas. In fact, those are a few cases, and the money does not come from the right way. Political Family like Xie Family has always been relatively clean, let alone the salary of Han Jing and Ci Lifen, even at the level of Xie Guobang Yes, a year's salary is probably not as good as the one-day dividend generated by Dong Xuebin's 20% stake in Sister Zhang company. This is incomparable. As for the several villas that Xie Family people live in now, they are all divided or of Family Compound xing nature. The house does not even belong to them purely, and there will be no facilities like a swimming pool. Single-family villas with swimming pools are all commercial luxury homes.
soon.
Dong Xuebin came out with the food heated in the microwave. As soon as he put it on the table, he couldn't wait to eat it. While eating, he praised it, "It's fragrant, it's so fragrant, it's delicious!" The Power of Time and Wealth 1955
Han Jing said, "Eat slowly, no one will compete with you, haha."
Dong Xuebin smacked his lips and said, "Don't eat too slowly. The more you eat, the hungrier you get."
At this time, Xie Jing went to the bathroom alone to use the toilet.
When Ci Lifen saw that Xie Jing was not there, he started chatting with Han Jing, "Sister-in-law, Xiao Ran is also going to start a family. As soon as my brother gets married, Xiao Jing will definitely be here soon. How much do you think we should give then? One hundred thousand for each person? Isn't that a little less? Or two hundred thousand?"
Han Jing said, "Let's discuss it then."
Ci Lifen hummed, "I'm not in a hurry."
Xie Hao heard this, this kid is a money addict, and stopped playing games after hearing this, "So much? Ouch, then I have to get married quickly!"
Dong Xuebin swallowed the food in his mouth and said, "How old are you? You haven't even reached the legal age to get married."
Han Jing was also amused by Xie Hao, looked at him and said, "When you get married, your aunt will give you a big gift, okay?"
Xie Hao chuckled, "Thank you, auntie."
Dong Xuebin teased him, "I won't give it to you when you get married."
"Damn it, how can that work? Brother-in-law!" Xie Hao said anxiously, "I only count on your share of the money! If you give me less than one million, then I will feel sorry for you!"
Ci Lifen slapped his son on the head, "How can anyone ask for their share of the money?"
Xie Hao didn't listen, "Brother-in-law You should give me more when the time comes. By the way, last time you promised to buy me a car when I get into college. I will take the college entrance examination in a few months. Don't forget it."
Dong Xuebin lowered his head to eat, "Did I say that?"
"I told you! My sister and brother are listening!" Xie Hao screamed anxiously.
Dong Xuebin glanced at him, "I've been here for a long time and you didn't even say hello. You just played your game without seeing me. Why should I buy you a car?"
Xie Hao immediately softened, and quickly sat down with a smiling face and hooked up with Dong Xuebin, "No, Brother-in-law, I didn't see you coming in just now, I was too focused, now I can say hello to you, what, we can't regret about the car."
Xie Jing also came out of the bathroom and started laughing with them.
At this moment, the doorbell rang. Xie Jing immediately got up and opened the door with a smile on his face, "It should be my parents who are back."
The door opened, and it turned out to be Xie Guoliang and Xia Yanzhen.
Later, Xie Ran also walked into the room, but his expression seemed very ugly.
Dong Xuebin hadn't finished eating yet. He raised his head and blinked to look over, not understanding what was going on.
Or Han Jing said, "Guo Liang, Yanzhen, what's wrong? Aren't the parents of both parties meeting to discuss the engagement? This is a happy event, why do you have this expression?"
Ci Lifen asked, "Did you conflict with Third Brother Fang?"
Xia Yanzhen sighed, "No."
"Then... they regretted it?" Han Jing asked.
Xia Yanzhen said, "No, alas, don't mention it. Xiao Ling's parents are really a bit too much. There's nothing they can say about it. It made me angry, so I just said this marriage is inappropriate or inappropriate. Xiao Ran still has to..."
"Mom, please stop saying a few words." Xie Ran said depressedly.
"Guo Liang." Han Jing looked at him, "Tell me."
Xie Guoliang paused and then said, "It's about the bride price." (To be continued...
