Blink of an eye to the weekend.

Gu Wei and Su Meixi were going to visit Xi's house the next day.

Su Meixi didn't know what gifts she should buy, so Gu Wei said, "Just bring some health supplements that you couldn't finish before."

"Is this okay?" Su Meixi felt that Gu Wei was really stingy in giving gifts. Except for being generous to her, he was stingy to everyone else.

Gu Wei smiled: "The Xi family should not be short of good things. No matter what we take, we will bring it back in the end. Unless you make some gadgets yourself or bake some snacks, it will look good. Mind."

Su Meixi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll make some water chestnut cakes? I just don't know if it will work. I did it twice a long time ago."

"I'll do it with you. If it succeeds, we will take it there. If it doesn't, we won't take it there." Gu Wei said.

"it is good."

The two went to the supermarket to buy water chestnut powder and corresponding ingredients, and made water chestnut cake at home together.

Water chestnut cake is not difficult for some food bloggers, but it still poses a certain challenge for novices.

Fortunately, the two of them are usually good at thinking and will discuss while making. After more than two hours, their water chestnut cake was finally ready, crystal clear, soft and chewy.

Su Meixi tasted it and thought it tasted very good. She didn't put a lot of sugar in it, so she wouldn't get tired of it even if she ate a lot.

The next day, Su Meixi and Gu Wei went to Xi's house.

The Xi family is located in a high-end courtyard community. It is a western-style building with small gardens in the front and back, which looks very elegant.

Brigadier Bao and the others have already arrived and met Gu Wei and Su Meixi. Brigadier Bao also helped direct the parking. It seems that Brigadier Bao comes here often and is already familiar with this area.

Su Meixi and Gu Wei walked in and saw Xi Huarong and Li Shirui standing in the front hall. Besides them, there were several other people that Gu Wei knew but Su Meixi did not.

Judging from their clothes, they all seem to be intellectuals.

When Xi Huarong and his wife saw Gu Wei and Su Meixi coming, they also came to greet them. Su Meixi handed the box of water chestnut cakes to Li Shirui.

Li Shirui was a little surprised: "Did you do this yourself?"

"Gu Wei and I did it together." Su Meixi didn't want to take credit alone.

Li Shirui happily took out a piece and tasted it, and then praised Su Meixi: "This is the most delicious horseshoe cake I have ever eaten!"

Su Meixi smiled and said, "Thank you Aunt Li for the compliment."

Li Shirui brought the water chestnut cake to Xi Huarong and other guests to share. After everyone finished eating, they were very proud and said it was delicious.

Su Meixi was also very happy when she heard everyone praised her.

……

This family banquet is where everyone sits together, eats, and chats to enhance relationships.

Through Li Shirui's introduction, Su Meixi knew that among the guests, the other two were Xi Huarong's subordinates, both leaders of various departments in Yuncheng.

Among them, Gu Wei still has the lowest position, and he must have been invited here because of her connections.

During the dinner, a leader named Zhang asked about Gu Wei, and Brigadier Bao said: "This is the youngest battalion commander in our army. He has made meritorious service many times and will be promoted to another level soon."

Everyone else was impressed by this, just like this leader Zhang, although he has a high official position, he is also old and may retire in a few years.

At this time, Xi Huarong introduced Su Meixi, "No general has a weak wife. This Xiao Su is also a heroine. She dared to change hostages in front of the robbers, and thus saved my little daughter Xiaofen's life."

Speaking of this, others began to admire him again.

The leader surnamed Zhang couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xi, why don't you see your two daughters today? That Xiaofen is the most lively and cute. I quite like seeing her."

"She is on duty today. Nurses don't have fixed days off." Xi Huarong said with a smile.

"What about the eldest daughter Linlin?"

When it comes to her, Xi Huarong's face does not change: "Maybe something is wrong with her."

Brigadier Bao also mentioned that Su Meixi looked like Xi Huarong: "Do you think that Xiao Su looks like Shi Rui? The first time I saw Xiao Su, I thought she looked like her. I also said that I had seen her somewhere. At that time, my wife was still You think I’m chatting up a young girl, do you think I’m such a person?”

Everyone laughed, and the wives of the leader surnamed Zhang and the leader surnamed Xu who were present all said they looked alike.

Li Shirui said in a joking tone: "Since you all say that Xiao Su looks like me, and I don't mind having more daughters, how about Xiao Su becoming my goddaughter?"

Xi Huarong said: "I agree."

Su Meixi was stunned for a moment, and she quickly refused: "No, no, how can I not be your goddaughter?"

Li Shirui said: "I heard from Xiaofen that your biological parents are divorced and now they are living their own lives. If you come to our house to be our goddaughter, then there will be two more people to take care of you in the future, right?"

Su Meixi explained: "It is precisely because I had no one to control me when I was a child and I was used to being free and loose, that's why I dare not be your daughter for fear of disappointing you."

At this point, Su Meixi remembered that Su Qiang hadn't called her for many days.

Forget it, if you don't want to fight, don't fight. It's not her biological child anyway. Even if you call, she won't answer.

Gu Wei looked at Su Meixi at this moment, his eyes a little distressed.

Gu Wei already knew about Su Qiang's imprisonment, but he did not tell Su Meixi.

If she knew the truth and knew that the Xi family already knew the truth, she would hide even further, fearing that she would return to Fengcheng now.

Brigadier Bao, Aunt Bao, and several other leaders also looked at Su Meixi with envy. Aunt Bao also said: "Xiao Su, just agree. With such a godfather and godmother, no one will dare to bully you in the future. "

Su Meixi still refused: "I... I'll think about it again. I'm really used to freedom and I'm afraid of being restricted."

"I'm just my goddaughter. You're already so old and they can't control you. You should just be yourself. Just come over and visit them when you have free time."

When Xi Huarong saw Su Meixi's refusal for a time, he didn't want to embarrass her. He smiled and said, "It seems that the two of us are in love, but although you don't want to recognize your godfather, we still treat you as our own child. From now on, you Just treat this place as your own home, and you can come here often to play.”

Su Meixi had refused for so long, and she was too embarrassed to refuse again. If she refused again, she would be ungrateful. She nodded quickly and said, "Okay, I will definitely come here to play often in the future."

……

After coming out of Xi's house, Su Meixi sat in the car and let out a long sigh of relief.

She laughed and said: "Going to the leader's house is more stressful than going to work. I'm really afraid that I might say the wrong thing accidentally."

Gu Wei complained in his heart: I am the tightest person, I have watched you guys act all morning.

The couple kept pretending that nothing happened and tried to please them. As for Su Meixi, she refused and pretended that she didn't know anything. Isn't it tiring?

But he could only act on the sidelines.

The barriers and defensiveness between people must be slowly eliminated, and the distance must be gradually narrowed. It is impossible to get close all at once.

Not long after getting in the car, Xiaofen called Su Meixi: "Sister Su, are you still at my house?"
