A foreign city, dear you

Ye Lian felt that when she smiled, she had to be careful to save some energy.

"Why don't you go back? Is it also because of the snowstorm?" Cao Xueqian asked Xiao Maobing.

"No." Xiao Maobing shook his head: "We didn't know the snow disaster would be so serious at first. The main reason is that my wife doesn't want to go back."

"Oh, my brothers and sisters don't want to go home?" Cao Xueqian asked with a smile.

Jian Xiqi smiled, muttered a few times, and seemed to hesitate to speak.

It was the first time for Cao Xueqian and Jian Xiqi to meet each other, so it was inconvenient to ask again, so they just said, "Drink tea."

"She and my mother don't get along very well, so she doesn't want to go back." Xiao Maobing felt that there was no need to speak out in front of his brothers in trouble, so he spoke out for Jian Xiqi.

"Is this so? The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is quite complicated. You have to stand on your wife's side. It is not easy for a woman to gain a foothold in her husband's family."

Cao Xueqian spoke out of emotion.

He was deeply touched when he thought of the various conflicts between Ye Lian and Grandma Lanshan in the past.

"Yes, so I stayed with her in Yancheng." Xiao Maobing said: "The relationship in my family is more complicated. But my mother mainly said that we have been married for several years and we still have no children, so she has resentment towards her."

The expression on Jian Xiqi's face was both happy and sad.

Ye Lian looked a little sympathetic, but she didn't expect that Cao Xueqian's question would bring out their sadness, and she quickly asked: "What's the reason? Can't you get pregnant?"

Jian Xiqi felt a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "I was pregnant before, but every time I got pregnant, I couldn't keep it. Then it was not easy to get pregnant."

"Did you see a Chinese medicine doctor?" Ye Lian asked.

"See, I drank Chinese medicine every day until I vomited." Jian Xiqi was filled with bitterness.

"Would you like me to ask my dad to find you a Chinese medicine doctor? My father knows a very good old Chinese medicine doctor who is very experienced in treating infertility." Cao Xueqian said enthusiastically.

"Really? That must be good." Jian Xiqi smiled again.

Cao Xueqian has always been resolute in his work. He immediately called Grandpa Lanshan and told Grandpa Lanshan about Jian Xiqi's situation and asked him to help find the old Chinese medicine doctor.

As a result, Grandpa Lanshan said it was the first lunar month, so who would go to the doctor? It has to be out of the first lunar month.

Seeing how enthusiastic Cao Xueqian was, Xiao Maobing thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Cao. In fact, we have another idea, which is to adopt a child."

"Okay," Cao Xueqian agreed, "It's the same with raising a child and raising it well."

Ye Lian couldn't help but interjected: "I heard that some couples did not have children at first, but after adopting a child, they gave birth to another child of their own."

"I have also heard of this situation." Cao Xueqian agreed.

"That would be great if that's the case." Jian Xiqi smiled.

"Yes, it will definitely come true." Ye Lian comforted.

Everyone understands women's difficulties, and Ye Lian can especially understand Jian Xiqi's mood.

Moreover, Jian Xiqi seemed calm and gentle, and didn't talk much. Ye Lian felt that she was more compatible with her personality, which didn't like to talk.

Ye Lian stayed with him for a while, then went to the kitchen to prepare lunch.

Jian Xiqi also followed the kitchen and said she was helping Ye Lian.

Jian Xiqi affectionately calls Ye Lian sister-in-law, and her behavior is virtuous and gentle.

After lunch was ready, people at the table were eating and chatting again.

Of course, Cao Xueqian and Xiao Maobing were the main chatters, Ye Lian and Jian Xiqi were the companions, and Lan Shan couldn't get in the conversation at all, so he just watched the adults chatting.

"How was your company last year?" Cao Xueqian asked.

"It's not very good. The environment was not good last year." Xiao Maobing said.

Cao Xueqian nodded: "Last year was a tough winter for the company. It will be good if we can survive it."

Xiao Maobing agreed: "Yes, I hope there will be a full recovery this year."

"Has your salary increased a lot?" Cao Xueqian asked.

"It's okay, but it's still not as good as you." Xiao Maobing said.

"My salary gradually slowed down. Now it is 18,000. Originally, the company said that I would be raised to 20,000 by the end of the year, but then the economy slumped, and Li Jin also suffered a decline, which affected us to the point where our salary did not increase." Cao Xueqian A little disappointed.

"Then you're okay. There's another factory, what's it called?" Xiao Maobing said.

Cao Xueqian called the guests to eat, and then said: "Tongxin Factory. This factory can't receive a few orders. How can such a small factory survive alone?"

Xiao Maobing nodded: "Yes."

"Are you the leader of your department now?" Cao Xueqian asked.

Xiao Maobing shook his head: "No, there is a leader above."

Cao Xueqian picked up the drink cup and clinked it with Xiao Maobing's cup: "Come on. Try to get the top position."

"Thank you Brother Cao for your kind words." Xiao Maobing also raised his glass.

Ye Lian and Jian Xiqi couldn't help laughing as they watched the two men replace tea with drinks.

Two men who don't drink much are relatively rare.

Jian Xiqi looked at Ye Lian's house with three bedrooms and two living rooms, and said quietly: "I'm so envious that you have your own house. It would be great if we could also have our own house."

"What's there to envy? It's so dark, and you have to turn on the lights in broad daylight." Ye Lian felt helpless when she mentioned the house.

Jian Xiqi saw the house opposite the balcony through the gap in the curtains and said, "The balconies of your house are so close to each other."

Ye Lian sighed softly: "There is no way. When I first bought it, the outside of the balcony was very open. Who knew that such a high house would be built behind to block it?"

"That's better than having no house to live in and having to rent a house," Jian Xiqi said.

"Now that Xiao Maobing's salary is so high, you will be able to buy your own house soon." Ye Lian comforted.

"I still don't dare to think about commercial housing," Jian Xiqi said, "I'm satisfied if I can buy a private house like yours."

"That's going to be fast." Ye Lian said while analyzing: "In the past, the price of commercial housing increased, and private housing also increased a little bit, but now the property market has dropped in price very drastically, and I guess private housing has also dropped a lot."

"Did you hear that?" Jian Xiqi called Ying Xiaomaobing: "When we have money, we will also buy a house like Brother Cao and Sister-in-law."

Xiao Maobing nodded: "Okay. You can buy it when you like it."

Cao Xueqian joked: "Are you two deliberately showing off your affection?"

Jian Xiqi blushed a little.

Xiao Maobing responded with a smile: "How dare you show affection in front of Brother Cao and sister-in-law? What kind of affection have Brother Cao and Sister-in-law not experienced?"

"Haha." Cao Xueqian laughed and said to Ye Lian: "Did you hear that? Come on, let's be affectionate and give you a chicken leg."

Everyone at the table laughed.
