love in bloom

This reunion dinner on New Year's Eve this year is of extraordinary significance to Jiang Xin.Because An Zijun was finally willing to take her back to meet her parents.

In addition to the parents, there are three members of the elder brother's family.Now that the servants are on vacation, they arrange the dishes by themselves, and seven people sit around a spacious round table.

Father Ann has always been serious and rigid, and he doesn't like to joke even at the New Year's dinner.And An Zijun's elder brother has a personality like him, so apart from nodding his head at the beginning, he didn't take much part in their conversations for the rest of the time, and just ate in silence, like a solemn background board.

Fortunately, An's mother and sister-in-law are friendly and talkative, so there will be no silence at the dinner table.

Jiang Xin searched for all kinds of interesting topics in his mind to make them happy, and his hands were not idle, he was attentive to serve the rice and soup, and even peeled a bowl of shrimp for An Zijun's little nephew.

Seeing that she didn't stop, An Zijun touched under the table with his hand, and said in a low voice, "Don't patronize them, be more casual."

"Are you worried that I'm tired? Or jealous?" Miss Jiang did not forget to take advantage of An Zijun even when she was in An's house. Instead, she held her hand and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "This is Ai Wu Ji Wu."

The skin is thicker than the city wall.An Zijun glared at her, but didn't break away.

Miss Jiang still answered Mama An's questions in a soft voice, and she was already happy in her heart.It's rare that An Zijun dotes on her so much and worries about her, he really wants to rush over and act coquettishly!

As soon as such thoughts popped up, she felt unbearable.

Usually, she would like to sit on An Zijun's lap to feed each other when eating, but now, under the eyes of An's family, she dare not do any small tricks.Even when he wanted to bring food to An Zijun several times, Father An used to cough as a warning, as if he could see her intentions in advance.

An Zijun said that her parents like decent girls, and Yao Qingshu told her to restrain herself and talk less... Well, she will be a quiet and elegant lady tonight.

"Dad, Mom, eat more." At this time, An Zijun took a chopstick of vegetables into his parents' bowls, and poured another glass of wine for his brother.

The two big men were a little flattered.It had been too long since they had received such warm attention from her.In the end, she blamed them for that incident, and the relationship became estranged a lot later.

Mother Ann sighed when she saw her daughter like this, and blamed her husband: "Look, these are your favorite foods, and my daughter remembers them all. I bought them for cooking today. Don't be so stern, the whole family It’s a holiday when you’re happy.”

"Okay, I know." Papa An stretched his brows, and An Zijun smiled faintly.Turning his head, he received a sour look from someone.

Oh, I also eat this vinegar.She angrily took a piece of lotus root cake for her, "I made this too, try it."

"Well……"

"how?"

"Delicious!" Miss Jiang's mood brightened immediately.While An's father was not paying attention, he peeled a prawn and quickly put it in An Zijun's bowl, then pretended nothing had happened and continued to act coquettishly: "I still want it."

The typical sun shines brightly.

Mother An calmly took this scene into her eyes.Warmly greeted her: "Xiao Xin, just eat more meat, you look so thin."

"Thank you mom cough...thank you auntie." Jiang Xin changed her words with a smirk, thankful for her quick response, otherwise it would be a joke.But when I think about it, I feel shocked that I seem to have missed a great opportunity, and I feel sad there.

An's mother's eyes lit up with a smile.When this child first met, he thought he was too coquettish and flamboyant, and he couldn't figure out what he was thinking, but he didn't expect that he would be a bit silly when getting along.

Besides, she sacrificed her life to save her daughter back then, which shows that she was an infatuated person.

She glanced at An Zijun who seemed to be staying out of the matter, and then boasted to Jiang Xin: "Oh, what a girl, beautiful and polite."

Jiang Xin: "Auntie, I'm sorry, I don't have many advantages, I have to learn more from Zijun."

"Hehehe, your mouth is so sweet." Because of these few words of compliments, the atmosphere at the dinner table became much more relaxed.

Mother An suddenly changed the topic: "The last time I met your mother while shopping, she even talked about you with me."

"Oh." Jiang Xin took the words naturally: "My mother must have buried me again."

"Not really." An's mother's smile gradually showed a little cunning, "She wants to introduce you to some young talents, and ask me if I know any of them, so that we can connect with them."

Pit daughter!

Jiang Xin hurriedly explained: "No! I definitely didn't mean that! My mother probably didn't know about it at the time."

Glancing at An Zijun, he said, "Now they have agreed with me... about Zijun and I, and they all like Zijun very much. They say in front of me every day that it would be great if only Zijun was half as good as me."

She was afraid that An's family would misunderstand, and she was so nervous that her palms were sweating.Mother An unexpectedly and easily covered this topic, "Hehehe, they are too modest, you are no worse than our Zijun."

It was as if he had deliberately teased her just now.

An Zijun, who was silent at the side, put down his chopsticks, "Dad, Mom, let's make an appointment with our two families to have a meal together sometime."

The smile on Mother Ann's face froze.

This sentence is like a stone thrown inadvertently, breaking the calm of a pool.Except for the little nephew, all the An family members changed their expressions.

What needs to be faced is always inevitable, and An Zijun's meaning is already very obvious.

Papa Ann frowned.He understands his daughter's temper. Looking at such a gentle and quiet person, he is actually more stubborn than anyone else. If he decides something, he will not hit the south wall and will not look back.Back then, I was with that Qu Mei...

Thinking of the past, his eyes became darker.Although they also made mistakes back then, if possible, he didn't want to let his daughter go this way again, and he didn't want her to be hurt again, so he closed himself up.

The dinner table was full of undercurrents, and the adults had their own concerns. Only An Zijun's little nephew had a good meal alone.

Also, what do children know.

Jiang Xin felt envious.Unexpectedly, the little guy suddenly looked at her and shouted childishly: "Uncle, I want to eat Niu Niu."

The originally unsettled pool turned into more waves.

Uncle!Little An Xin called her uncle!Jiang Xin screamed inwardly.Although a little dark, but the other two men at the dinner table have already turned dark...

Miss Jiang, who had a strong desire to survive, smiled awkwardly: "No, it's not my uncle haha."

"You said you were going to marry your aunt!"

"An Xin, don't be rude." Sister-in-law An quickly scolded the child, "Pick whatever you want."

"But isn't he an uncle after getting married?" Little An Xin deserved to be an upright boy, she pouted her lips and retorted after being scolded by adults, "Unless she doesn't want her aunt anymore..."

Jiang Xin felt that the eyes poking on her body became sharp instantly.Hurry up and move your chopsticks, "Yes, it's uncle! Uncle will pinch beef for you."

The person who ate the beef as he wished was still restless, and asked again: "Then when will I have my little nephew to play with?"

"Cough!" Jiang Xin shook her hand and almost threw the beef in his face.The sister-in-law at the side was suddenly amused, and felt impolite after laughing twice, so she quickly gritted her teeth and held it back.

Little Anxin couldn't understand the adults' reactions, and wanted to ask again, but the elder brother of the An family put on a straight face and reprimanded him in time, so he didn't dare to talk anymore, and obediently ate.

After the meal, An Zijun was called by An's father and elder brother to talk in the study, leaving Jiang Xin to watch TV with An's mother and the others in the living room.

She has a sweet mouth, coaxing An's mother and sister-in-law An is no problem, but An Xin's little friend...

"Uncle taught me to do my winter vacation homework." As soon as he opened his mouth, he said something that gave her a headache.

Sister-in-law An: "Do it yourself, don't bother others."

"It's okay, it's okay, I often teach my little nephew to do homework at home." Jiang Xin panicked without hesitation, touched little Anxin's head, and smiled: "Anxin is so smart, she will definitely be able to do it with a little effort."

"Then trouble you."

"Hehe, no trouble."

"Oh, that's great!" Xiao Anxin cheered and went to find her schoolbag.He had homework to do and he wouldn't go back into his room, so they turned down the volume on the TV.Mother Ann explained a few words to her daughter-in-law, got up and went to the kitchen to make fruit plate desserts for them.

An Xin happily carried a small schoolbag and sat down next to Jiang Xin.

Looking at his cute little face, Jiang Xin's heart softened.Hmm, this kind of feeling of being relied on by children seems to be good?

So the reliable big sister who ignited her fighting spirit—Jiang Xin picked up the math winter vacation homework with a look of doting.

A few seconds later, they smiled and put them aside: "Let's do Chinese first."

An Xin blinked her eyes: "Oh." Handed over another book.

Jiang Xin looked at it and said, help, why is Chinese in the second grade of elementary school so difficult!Forget all the poems and fill in the blanks, guess the idioms and solve the crossword puzzles, she is too embarrassed to search the Internet for the answers in front of her sister-in-law!

Is it just manual work...

So, under Mrs. An's indescribable gaze, Miss Jiang cheekily pointed to the interesting extra-point question at the end of the homework: "Come on, let's do this!"

"Okay!" Little An was very happy: "Uncle help me make a flower! I have plasticine~" He took out a box of colorful clay balls from his schoolbag.

Plasticine……

Jiang Xin suddenly felt very heavy.She didn't like to touch that thing since she was a child.But looking at the expectant eyes of the children...

Forget it, just squeeze the plasticine, it doesn't matter!

She calmed down, recalling the sunflower that An Zijun gave her once, her expression became gentle and firm.

Smile confidently to little friend An: "Look at mine."

After a few minutes--

"This is not Huahua!" The expectation and admiration in Xiao Anxin's eyes turned into disappointment.

Jiang Xin was about to collapse.This plasticine is too difficult to play with!How to do it is like a pineapple bun, or the kind where the custard filling is crushed!

Make another difficult one: "What about this one?"

"This is not Huahua!" Little friend An shouted dissatisfiedly: "I want a beautiful Huahua. I want green in the middle and yellow petals on the outside. There are twelve petals, so beautiful!"

The requirements are too high!

Jiang Xin coaxed the children against her will: "This one is also pretty, look, how cute and chubby."

"That's right." Sister-in-law An, who no longer had any hope for her handiwork, chimed in embarrassingly: "It's very beautiful, An Xin can't be willful."

With the addition of his mother, the little guy listened to it a little bit, stared at the "pineapple bun" for a few seconds, and then his mouth shrugged: "It's not cute! It's not good-looking!"

Well, An Xin, who is super serious about her studies, is not easy to be fooled at all. She is so sullen that she is about to cry with anger. In the end, even grandma came over to coax her to no avail, "I don't care, I want Huahua!"

"I don't want this uncle anymore, I want to change my uncle!"

Soon, in Yao's villa, Lin Yue, who was petting the cat on the balcony, also received an urgent call for help from Miss Jiang.

"Hahaha, that guy..." Lin Yue laughed so hard that she couldn't hold the cat anymore.Miss Jiang really doesn't know how to deal with children.

Fortunately, she had learned similar handicrafts with Sun Ling in the flower shop before, so she sent a few tutorial pictures to her.

After a while, several messages came in with a ding-dong.

Yao Qingshu raised his eyebrows: "What did you say?"

"She said that there is no one in the An family to coax." Lin Yue wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "I think she will play firecrackers with her little nephew later, she is most afraid of lighting fireworks."

"Are you quite happy?"

"It's rare for her to be so deflated."

"But it also means that the An family accepted her." Yao Qingshu put down his wine glass and pulled another reclining chair.

"Well, yes." Lin Yue took it and pushed it close to Yao Qingshu's, with only a small long table [-] centimeters in between.It just so happened that the Netherlands also sent a message. She turned on the computer on the table and connected the video.

"Happy New Year, Gong Xi Fa Cai!" As soon as the connection was made, Lena on the screen imitated Yuffie and Jessie, saying New Year's wishes in a serious manner.

"Happy New Year~" Lin Yue smiled and showed them the small lanterns and potted plants around. When she saw Yao Qingshu, Lina yelled, "Oh, beauty!"

Among them, she was the only one who hadn't met Yao Qingshu yet, and narrowly blinked at Lin Yue: "Girlfriend?"

Lin Yue squinted at her side, bit her lips, "Fiancee."

This proud little appearance naturally fell into Yao Qingshu's eyes.She withdrew a little joy and looked back at her, then calmly greeted the people on the other side of the screen.

Lina: "Okay, okay, I forgive you for cheating on such a beautiful fiancée."

Lin Yue was a little embarrassed. Thanks to Yu Fei who helped her speak, she was not blushed by Lina.

Lina looked at Lin Yue's happy expression and thought of that very characteristic air-leakage scarf.She was still worried about whether her Chinese friend bought something in a black shop.

But Lin Yue said that it was woven by her girlfriend, and it was the best gift she received this year.

Ah, I'm really going to explode the vinegar jar.

Lin Yue: "I'm going to work hard for you during this time."

"Don't worry, we will wait for you to come back to receive the award! Don't forget to bring me a Chinese knot when the time comes."

"No problem, just wait for my gift for you."

"By the way, guess what the mysterious reward is?" Lena approached and lowered her voice playfully: "It's a tailor-made super sexy swimsuit for each person! Isn't it great?"

Lin Yue: "..." Suddenly, I don't really want to win an award.

Yuffie came over and interjected: "Also, Miss Flora seems to be very interested in you, Lin. She said that if she has time—she would like to ask you to go swimming alone."

After finishing speaking, before Lin Yue could respond, she hung up gracefully.

Lin Yue: "... Huh?"

Yao Qingshu glanced meaningfully, "Go swimming?"

"No, no, no." The little gardener, who knows the current affairs, immediately came over to play cute tricks, "I'll just go with you."

"Oh, I can't control you if you're in Holland."

Hmm, these words... seem to be resentful, huh?She heard something else, and tilted her head: "Do you regret it?"

"Yes, I regret it." Yao Qingshu said half-jokingly, with a specious exclamation in his tone, "But who said that I sent you out with my own hands, and I will wait for you if I regret it."

After speaking, they looked at each other, and both of them smiled.

Lin Yue took away the wine that Yao Qingshu wanted to pour again, gently held her hand, and brought it to her lips, "Give me another half a year, the semester will end soon. I also have plans for the future .”

Yao Qingshu looked at her for a long time, then said in a low voice, "Yes."

Lin Yue: "By the way, have you seen our exhibition works this time? My design inspiration comes from you."

"I?"

"Hey." She dug out the photos stored on her phone, "Look at the potted plants in our exhibition area, do you think they look familiar? And these apricot blossoms, what can you think of?"

"A painting by Van Gogh?"

"It has nothing to do with Van Gogh's apricot blossoms." Lin Yue bit her fingertips punishingly.It didn't hurt, but Yao Qingshu shuddered suddenly at that moment of warmth and warmth.

Withdrawing his hand, he gave her an annoyed look.

The little gardener turned to touch the big white cat with his eyebrows frowned.While pinching its fat pad, he said in a gentle voice, "Not long after my grandfather hired me, the first apricot blossom here bloomed. I cut it off and carried it across the garden."

"Then, when I looked up, I saw a beautiful balcony and you smiling."

She caressed Fukumaru's body more and more slowly, "This is the balcony now, with orchids and white narcissus, no matter how long it takes, I will never forget it."

Something touched Yao Qingshu's heart.So at that time, did Lin Yue also see her...

"Did you see me laughing?"

"I can't see clearly, but I just feel that you are smiling." Lin Yue said, "Because of that smile, I also have a premonition that love is coming."

After she finished speaking, she turned her head to meet Yao Qingshu's eyes.Looking at it, the roots of the ears are also stained with a thin red.

At this moment, she suddenly thought that she agreed to Yao Qingshu at the beginning, maybe it was not because she was blinded by the peach blossoms.It was a voice in her heart telling her that this was right, how natural it was to be with this person.

It seems that the fruit is ripe, and it will come when conditions are ripe.

It's like a tree that opens its branches and leaves and takes out flower buds in the most suitable season.

"This way, this way! Come on, put them all on hahaha." At this moment, the garden below became noisy.

"Let's put one there too, to form a heart." Guan Yu took her husband and the Lin family couple to light fireworks in the open space, while the nanny fiddled with the camera to take pictures of them.

Not far away, Xiaomei set up a chessboard for the old man, and A-Tong set up the table to cut open a cantaloupe.

Lin Yue thought it was funny, so she pulled Yao Qingshu up to watch them play.After a while, he suddenly pointed to the garden below, "Do you still remember what I told you when I stood there on New Year's Eve two years ago?"

Two years ago, under the osmanthus tree.

Yao Qingshu's eyes wavered slightly, but he pretended not to know, "What are you talking about?"

"I said, Yao Qingshu, I want to kiss you."

"And now."

The soft voice was a bit shy, and it was hard to hear it behind.The wind that wanders among the flower branches lifts the hem of the clothes and shakes the hair, echoing in the ears.

Yao Qingshu raised the corners of his mouth and slowly lowered his body.

Lin Yue closed her eyes and tiptoed lightly.

In places far and near, firecrackers were lit one after another, colorful fireworks bloomed, and thousands of houses were brightly lit, scattering a piece of human fireworks.

Settling in the backyard, the children smiled and covered their ears.Jiang Xin took the stick of incense handed over by Papa An, and tremblingly reached out to the strings of small colored cannons.

In the noisy old residential area, Yang Yu hung up firecrackers in front of the bamboo poles, sweetly took Xiaoshu's hand and went back to the house to watch the Spring Festival Gala with his family while eating melon seeds.

During the interval between the shows, Sun Ling leaned against the window to watch the fireworks outside, and used her mobile phone to reply to text messages one by one. After thinking about it, she proudly replied to a certain young master.

Amidst the sound of fireworks all over the sky, Yao Yang, who was lying on the tree, put down the binoculars that peeked at the balcony, wiped away his tears in relief, and shouted confidently under Weibo: "The little gardener still belongs to our family!"

Of course, it was soon submerged in the sound of crusade.
