With a friendly smile, a more detailed explanation, and two packs of soft Zhonghua cigarettes given to the community security guards, Shen Ying finally managed to persuade his sister to get into the car.While driving, he said a few words to his sister, who was quite critical: "I really don't know what you think. You have to play some kind of 'simulation training' with two security guards at the door of your house, and you also put in two packs of soft Chinese cigarettes."

Sitting in the passenger seat, Xiao Xiao glanced at him and said, "Come on, it's just a joke. Shen Ying, if you feel sorry for those two packs of cigarettes, I can give them a $20 tip each."

"Do they know how much RMB can be exchanged for 20 dollars? It's better to give two packs of cigarettes."

"Uh huh. So, I tip you?"

"Okay, 40 dollars for two people can be exchanged for more than 240 yuan."

Fortunately, no other residents in the manor saw this farce that happened at the gate of my own community.Otherwise, I would definitely tell their parents Shen Guodong and Song Mingjuan about it as an interesting news.

Next, throughout September, Shen Xiaoxiao packed her daily schedule: meeting with Mao Yuan, eating, shopping and shopping, going to the bank to withdraw deposit interest, paying off credit card bills, checking and accepting the renovated new home , to add various furniture, electrical equipment and fitness equipment for the new home, to receive various online shopping packages mailed from the Amazon website in the United States to parents’ homes, to consult and handle matters related to the replacement of a US driver’s license with a domestic C1 driver’s license, to plan to buy a new car, and so on.

On September 9th, Shen Xiaoxiao turned 27 years old.Just like the birthday party held for Zhou Lin in Manhattan, New York last month, Zhou Lin also plans to hold a birthday party for Xiao Xiao on this day.But Xiao Xiao said to her: "There is no stripper girl in China that she can admire at parties, and there is no place where she can skydive freely, and there is no live-fire shooting club where she can target a chest ring." Fire hard."

Zhou Lin shook her head while laughing when she heard this: "It's just a birthday party, why do you ask so much?"

At this moment, in the indoor swimming pool in the basement of the Shen family.Shen Xiaoxiao, whose whole body was soaking in the pool, with her arms resting on the edge of the pool, curled her lips and said, "Do I have a lot of demands? Please, what I'm talking about is only the most basic entertainment in the United States."

"I think you still haven't adapted to life in China. Most of the things you like to play are impossible to achieve in China."

"Exactly. Zhou Lin, you know, I miss my time in America more and more now."

"I have nothing to say. I know one shooting club. Shanghai Pudong Shooting Club, do you want to go?"

"I like to play with American guns, do they have them?"

"I don't think there's any of them. They're all made in China."

Xiao Xiao snorted softly, took a sip of a can of beer that was placed by the pool, and said to Zhou Lin, "Hey, how are your wedding preparations going?"

Zhou Lin stood up, walked back to the recliner and sat down, and said, "It's almost there. Xiaoxiao, I'm only 4 days away from my wedding. I feel so nervous about this matter that I can't eat well or sleep well this month." sleep."

"Giggle... Relax, this is a manifestation of premarital depression. If you still can't calm yourself down, I suggest you go to a psychiatrist for consultation."

"Aren't you my psychiatrist?"

"Sorry, I'm not a psychiatrist. So, I can only try my best to enlighten you."

Seeing that Zhou Lin didn't answer, Xiaoxiao got up from the pool and walked to the deck chair on one side, picked up a towel to wipe off the water on her body and said, "Hey, what's wrong with you? You don't have the idea of ​​running away from marriage, do you?"

Zhou Lin frowned, looked at her and shook her head and said: "Escape from marriage, it's not that easy! Now, all relatives and friends know that I, Zhou Lin, is going to marry Shen Ying from your family. Escape from marriage, where can I escape?" !?"

"It's okay, I'll be your strong backing. Well, have you chosen your bridesmaid? Why don't I be your bridesmaid?"

"You...? No, you are an important guest of the man's family, how can you be my bridesmaid?"

"Come on, I'm never married, and I'm your BFF, why not?"

"You wait first." After Zhou Lin finished speaking, she took out her mobile phone and searched the encyclopedia knowledge about "bridesmaids" online. After opening the web page, she handed the mobile phone to Xiao Xiao: "You should take a good look at it yourself."

Xiaoxiao took a look, and then found some other online materials and took a closer look.When she saw a post titled "The Bridesmaid's Handbook," she exclaimed, "God, there's so much to a bridesmaid's workflow!"

"Now, do you still want to be a bridesmaid?"

"Okay, I take my words back. It's my birthday, and I'll fix your problem when we're done having fun."

"Are you really going to stay at home?"

"Yeah, I don't have any friends after returning to China, and I don't have any sports I like to play, so I can only celebrate my birthday at home."

After Zhou Lin took the mobile phone that Xiao Xiao handed back to her, she thought about it and said, "Where is your part-time friend? You don't want to call her home to celebrate your birthday with you?"

Xiaoxiao lay on the recliner and said, "No. So far, I don't want her to have too much contact with this family and the people in it."

"Are you afraid of losing this friend?"

"Maybe. By the way, what if I steal the limelight from your bride on the day of your wedding with Shen Ying?"

"What will happen? Little, if you want to do this, it will only make the elders of your family and our family very unhappy."

"Really? But I'm not a bridesmaid, I'm a VIP."

"Okay, anyway, the elders will embarrass you when the time comes, I can't control it."

"Don't worry, I'll take care of my own affairs."

Four days later, after 4 o'clock in the morning on October 10st, everyone in the Shen family was eating breakfast in a hurry for the wedding ceremony held at the Portman Ritz-Carlton Shanghai today.Only Shen Xiaoxiao went back to her room on the second floor to take a bath and change clothes leisurely after finishing her fitness exercises in the fitness room in the basement.

45 minutes later, Xiaoxiao came to the restaurant on the first floor wearing home clothes.At this time, only the nanny and Song Mingjuan, who hadn't gone to the hotel for the wedding, were left in the restaurant.Xiao Xiao was taken aback for a moment, but still stepped forward and hugged her mother: "Hi, Mommy, good morning."

Song Mingjuan let go of her daughter's arm, and said angrily, "You didn't come to eat breakfast, why are you so indifferent to your elder brother's marriage?"

Xiaoxiao smiled and poured herself a glass of grapefruit juice, then made herself a bowl of porridge with granulated sugar, refrigerated fresh milk, strawberries, raisins and oatmeal.Holding the cup in one hand, he returned to the dining table with a bowl full of porridge.

After putting down the cup and plate, he picked up the toast on the table and was about to smear butter and strawberry jam on it and said to his mother, "Mum, what do you think I should do to be considerate?"
