sinking in his peril

Early in the morning, Bai Sen came back from the hospital with a tired look on his face. He brought breakfast, and when he entered the door, he saw the four children were eating in the dining room, chatting non-stop.

Yu Xueqin didn't seem to have slept well, so she glanced at her husband and said tiredly, "I'm back, you're tired, let's have some breakfast and go rest."

"I bought breakfast." Bai Sen sighed, looking a little tired, "When I came back, I drank a bowl of porridge outside. I wasn't hungry, but I just wanted to go to bed. Lao Meng struggled all night last night, and his condition fluctuated a bit. , It’s really pitiful to look at. Alas, it’s really useless to be old, and you have to stick to it when you’re sick.”

Yu Xueqin was stunned for a moment, finished her meal in silence, packed up the rice bowls that her children had eaten, sent them to the kitchen for washing, stared at the running water for a long time, and sighed involuntarily.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Bai Xiyao walked into the kitchen, "I'll wash it for you. Are you feeling unwell? You don't look well today, do you want to go to the hospital?"

"It's okay," Yu Xueqin smiled and shook her head, looking at her daughter beside her, yes, time is really unforgiving, and the youngest daughter has grown into such a delicate and charming woman now, how could she not be old? "That's right, I heard from a colleague of your eldest sister on the phone that she introduced a boyfriend named Mou to Xi Yao. Is that the one Xi Yao asked you to go on a blind date for her at breakfast that day? Have they dated?" ?Girls are going to get married when they grow up, and they can't always rely on their youth and waste time like this regardless, Mom doesn't want you all to stay at home and become a big problem."

Bai Xiyao smiled softly, washed the dishes, and said, "Mom, you don't have to worry about the eldest sister and the others. With their conditions, it is not too difficult to find a good husband. As long as they don't pick others too much, no one will." Their."

Yu Xueqin smiled, and said slowly: "You are still young, how do you know that when a man finds a wife, he doesn't have to find a woman who looks like a fairy. Sometimes, all he needs is a look. A woman's tenderness and tenderness Tolerance is sometimes more lethal than beauty."

Bai Xiyao smiled slightly, and said: "Mom, your early retirement is really a waste. If you are still in school, you don't know how many outstanding students you will teach at this time."

Yu Xueqin said with a smile: "Forget it, I haven't taught you well myself, so don't mislead your children." ——Oh, yes, I remembered something, I met a former neighbor, He is also a teacher now, and his wife seems to be from your unit, and her surname seems to be Gao."

"Surname Gao?" Bai Xiyao wiped the water on her hands, and accompanied Yu Xueqin out of the kitchen, thought for a while, and said, "There is only one surnamed Gao in our unit, who is our director. I don't know what happened during this time. She has a bad temper and always gets angry, Xinrou joked that it is our Director Gao who has entered menopause early."

Yu Xueqin was stunned for a moment, and asked subconsciously, "Don't you know the reason?"

Bai Xiyao smiled and said: "I heard from Xinrou that she said that she has a relative who lives across from Director Gao's house. It seems that Director Gao's marriage has some problems. I found a photo in the book, it was a black-and-white photo from more than 30 years ago, hehe, I don’t know if it’s true or not, but there must be something, otherwise, Director Gao wouldn’t be like this, she was quite peaceful before.”

Yu Xueqin didn't speak, just nodded, and walked towards the sofa in the living room a little distracted.

"Mom, let's go." Bai Xiyao said at the door, Xu Zhizhi's laughter could be heard vaguely, probably he was playing with Tao Zi.Bai Xiyao was also changing shoes at the door, looked at her mother worriedly, hesitated, and closed the door gently.

"Let me take you to work." Bai Xiyao smiled and said, "I just happen to have some private affairs to do. Zhizhi, where are you going? There should be no flying mission today, right?"

"No," Xu Zhizhi smiled, with a faint sneer on the corner of his lips, and said half-truthfully, "I found a nasty old fox who is free and has nothing to do. I want to be a hunter so that he doesn't have to cheat all the time. Some ignorant little girls!"

Bai Xiyao smiled, "Zhizhi, calm down, don't disturb someone's sleep at night, can't you just find a good man and have a relationship?"

"I don't want to," Xu Zhizhi sneered, "What is marriage? It's like our parents, respecting each other as guests, living a peaceful life under the same roof? I don't want that, I want to enjoy my life to the fullest! Can you see how deep the relationship between our parents is? It's just a family relationship, but it's not as thick as blood."

Bai Xiyao shook her head helplessly, "You and Xiao Min belong to the same country, I really don't know how Xi Yao and Xiao Min are twins. Alright, I won't talk to you, Xi Yao, I will see you off first Or Xiao Min?"

"I want to go to Yinxiang Restaurant and give the umbrella to the boss there." Bai Xiyao looked out the window, it was also a rainy day, she took an umbrella herself, that 'precious' umbrella, It must be returned to others.

"Okay, I'll go with you." Tao Zi said immediately, "I admire him so much. I must get to know him!"

Thinking of the man's indifferent attitude, Bai Xiyao was a little worried about whether he would be willing to know Tao Zi. She still remembered how plain he was when he first mentioned Tao Zi's name, and how he ignored him.Taozi is a spoiled person, can she bear it?
"Or he is a descendant of that dynasty." Taozi said excitedly, "There are all kinds of possibilities, so I want to know him. The decoration style of Yinxiang Restaurant and the umbrella in your hand all show that he It must be someone related to that dynasty."

"Okay, it's up to you." Bai Xiyao said flatly, as soon as that dynasty was mentioned, Tao Zi became fanatical.

Bai Xiyao put Bai Xiyao and Taozi at the entrance of Yinxiang Restaurant, and drove Xu Zhizhi away.Because it was still early, the entrance of Yinxiang Restaurant was very quiet, there was no parking, and a few waiters were cleaning, sweeping the floor or cleaning the glass. In the rain, Yinxiang Restaurant had an indescribably lonely and independent arrogance.

Bai Xiyao hesitated and was thinking about how to greet her when a waiter who looked somewhat familiar came over and said with a smile: "Miss Bai, you are here. Are you here to return the umbrella? Our boss That said, just give me the umbrella."

"Okay." Bai Xiyao nodded, took out the umbrella and handed it over.

"No." Tao Zi grabbed the umbrella from the side and said, "How can you just ask someone to take such a precious thing, we must hand it to your boss in person."

"Precious?" The waiter was taken aback, then smiled, and said, "Yes, it is a precious thing in your eyes, after all, it is also an antique in your eyes, but in the eyes of our boss, it is just an umbrella. A utensil to keep out the wind and rain. I'm afraid, your real purpose is not to return the umbrella, but to meet our boss, right?"

Tao Zi was stunned, this girl really didn't give face when she spoke, he smiled, showing his charming smile, and said to the waiter: "No matter what our purpose is, we really want to see you now Your boss, can't you?"
