Marriage in crisis

I smiled awkwardly, "I really didn't ask. I was always outside, so I didn't bother to ask!"

Then he added casually, "Sometimes I leave right away and don't give me a call until I get there!"

I pretended to smile helplessly, thinking to myself that I was trying to find out Rong Yu's whereabouts.

In the restaurant, the cook arranged a beautiful small table, but Shen Kuo and the others did not show up at all.

It happened that Mrs. Yang and Yuxiang had brought Sanbao back. As soon as he came in, he shouted, "Mom, I'm back! Why don't you pick me up?"

I responded in the restaurant, "Mom is here."

He jumped on his short legs and ran very fast, directly into the restaurant.

When he saw that there were still customers in the restaurant, he stopped and looked at Xing Zhili with his big eyes blinking.

Xing Zhili was so surprised that he danced and exclaimed, "Oh, what a beautiful kid!"

She looked at me, pointed at Sanbao and asked again, "This...are you a child?"

I waved to Sanbao, "Sanbao, come here quickly. This is Grandma Xu. Call someone!"

Sanbao shouted sweetly, "Hello, Grandma Xu!"

Xing Zhili quickly stood up and hugged Sanbao, who had already jumped into my arms, "Oh my God, you are like an angel! You are so beautiful!"

"Grandma, I'm a boy and I'm very handsome!" Sanbao corrected as he looked at Xing Zhili.

This made Xing Zhizhi laugh out loud, and even kissed him on the little face, "Why are you so handsome!"

Only then did Sanbao laugh.

Xing Zhili looked at Sanbao and said to me, "The boy from Jieting is very handsome, and I like him very much. If you talk about the three in our family, none of them can live up to his expectations. The eldest is no longer young, and he can't even get married." If I don’t want to get married, I’ll be worried to death!”

I took Sanbao over and asked Mrs. Yang to take him to wash his hands and change clothes.

Qiu Meiying just happened to come over. Seeing that there were guests, she asked me for permission, "Can I take Sanbao to the back for dinner?"

I looked at Sanbao and asked, "Would you like to have dinner with your grandpa and grandma?"

Sanbao suddenly became happy, "Okay! Let's go now!"

After he finished speaking, he dragged Qiu Meiying and walked out.

Sister-in-law Yang immediately went over to prepare the meal with a smile and said with a smile, "It's over, he started going crazy again! He is a total favorite in the backyard!"

I quickly invited Yuxiang and Chi Xi to join us for dinner.

Xing Zhili asked me, "I heard that you lost a child back then?"

I nodded, "That's it. It was taken away from me when I was born. God has mercy on me and found me some time ago!"

Xing Zhili had a look of surprise on his face, "Oh! That's really not easy. There's a huge crowd of people, but the fate between you mother and son is still unfinished!"

"Yes, God's will!" Then I asked Xing Zhili, "Neither the eldest nor the second brother in your family are married?"

"Hey... don't mention it!" Xing Zhili said with a black line on his face, "This is my biggest failure. None of these three makes me feel comfortable!"

"Auntie, please don't say that. Anyone who does big things will get married later!"

Xing Zhizhi sighed, "You can't help your mother when you grow up!"

I smiled and pointed to some dishes on the table, "Auntie, today I asked our cook to make some authentic Qingbang dishes for you to try. I don't know if you will be used to eating them!"

Xing Zhili looked at the dishes, "Oh, you are really thoughtful. Let me tell you, I really have a soft spot for Qingcheng. I like the seafood here very much."

As you know, the seafood in Beijing is not fresh enough. I remember when I was young, when I came to Qingcheng for a business trip, I would eat seafood until I was full before going back. "

"Really?" I was so surprised that I immediately called the cook and asked her to add two more seafood dishes.

"Did you come to Qingcheng often at that time?" I just asked casually.

But I noticed that Xing Zhili’s expression was startled for a moment, and then he said, “Not often!”

I immediately caught the moisture in her words.

It seems that this old lady has a story with Qingcheng.

I looked at Xing Zhili and asked tentatively, "Auntie, would you like some less of the rice wine I brought back from Sioux City?"

"And the rice wine from Su City?" She looked a little surprised, "Okay, okay! I'm in luck!"

I smiled and quickly asked Chi Xi to get the wine, and complimented Xing Zhili, "Auntie, when you were young, I guess you must have a bit of a drinker!"

Xing Zhizhi smiled, and that smile was really contagious. If you didn't know her background, you would really think that she was definitely a loving mother.

Chi Xi was very good at doing things and brought over two kinds for Xing Zhizhi to choose. She chose the one we brewed at home.

He also said, "You have to make it at home, only home-brew has the taste. When it comes to Sioux City, I have always wanted to visit the Lujia Ancient Street!"

While pouring wine for Xing Zhili, I said, "Auntie, you can go at any time! If you don't come back next time, I will accompany you to Sioux City for two days."

"Okay, that's a deal! I'm just curious about two places, and both have become my wish." Xing Zhili said.

"Those two places?" I asked smoothly.
