After getting on with the enemy

Warm and comfortable in winter.

The warm and dim afterglow sprinkled all over the earth, and fell softly on the roof, shining golden, everything looked peaceful and beautiful under the light.

They stayed in the bathroom for almost an hour, first sticking to each other for more than ten minutes, then took a shower, and then went out wrapped in towels.

Qiao Yan didn't have to do anything, Zhou Xiyun handled everything, even drying the water was done by Zhou Xiyun.In the end, she limply fell into the opponent's arms, her strength was exhausted, and she struggled to lift her legs, and she didn't want to move.

Zhou Xiyun threw her on the bed and covered her tightly with the quilt to prevent her from catching a cold.The man went to the small living room and poured half a glass of water, then turned back and fed it to Qiao Yan, who served him very well afterwards.

Qiao Yan's mouth was indeed dry, and his throat was astringent, and he felt much better after taking a sip.

At that time, the two houses were still empty, and there were no insignificant disturbances.

A few minutes later, Zhou Xiyun lifted the quilt and went up again, lay down and hugged Qiao Yan, rubbed and pressed her, and loosened her muscles and bones a few times.

Qiao Yan squinted his eyes in comfort, and Zhou Xiyun's chest remained motionless, like a lazy cat, unwilling to even stretch its paws, and just lying there quietly and docilely throughout the whole process, more ancestors than their ancestors.

Zhou Xiyun put his lips next to her ear, and said softly, "Grandma wants to go to your place for dinner tonight. She wants to stew kelp and hoof flower soup. It's time to cook later."

"It's still early, she went out to buy groceries, and she might not be back in half an hour, so there's no rush." ​​Qiao Yan said weakly, trying to comfort the other party, "Tomorrow is the weekend, my mother is on holiday, so I'll make dinner later."

Qiao Yan knew the old man very well, so he took his time and acted according to the time.After she finished speaking, she reluctantly turned over, pressed Zhou Xiyun down again, and held him down domineeringly, as if catching a rabbit, she slapped Zhou Xiyun on the face twice, kissing him in a daze.

Boss Qiao was going to rest, and he was very tired after such a short time, so he said in a muffled voice, "Don't worry about that, just sleep for a while."

Zhou Xiyun leaned on her and rested up to this point.

The two hugged each other for a nap, slept for about 10 to [-] minutes, and when the time was almost up, they both got up, tidied up and dressed, opened the door and went downstairs like a human being, pretending nothing happened.

While going down, the two of them could chat calmly and move some ingredients, drinks and so on from Zhou's house to Qiao's house.

Grandma also came back at this time, appearing leisurely, holding a large bag of freshly bought pig's trotters in her hand.

It is more convenient to buy vegetables in the south. The stalls have already fully processed everything, and even the ingredients are packed in bags by the way. After buying all the vegetables, you can wash and wash them, and you can start cooking right away.

Grandma couldn't tell that there was a relationship between them. As soon as she entered the door, she saw that Zhou Xiyun had already arrived, so she asked casually, "Why do you leave work early today, why are you walking away without work?"

Putting on the apron, Zhou Xiyun replied, "I don't work overtime, I'm fine outside, and I'll be back when the time comes."

"You can hang out with friends, and go around if you have nothing to do." Grandma said, caring about their lifestyle, she kept saying, "You young people should go out more, and Qiao Qiao is too, don't come here every day." Black and dull fight."

Qiao Yan stood on the sidelines and behaved, stepped forward to take the bag from the old man's hand, called out to grandma, then asked Zhou Xiyun to tie an apron for herself, turned around and went into the kitchen.

Grandma also went in, and continued to talk about the process of going out to buy vegetables with great interest, telling what interesting things happened on the road.

Both young people are happy to chat with the old man, chatting with each other sentence by sentence.

It is a very meaningful thing for the family to cook together, and you will never get tired of doing it no matter how many times you do it.Both Qiao Yan and Zhou Xiyun are used to helping grandma. They did it when they were young, and it's even more handy when they grow up.

Grandma is smiling, working very vigorously and full of energy. Although her legs and feet are inconvenient, she can move her hands very quickly.

When it was dark, Xu Ziqing and Zhou Huiwen went to the compound together.

After get off work, Ms. Xu went to the airport to pick up Aunt Zhou, drove there by the way, and took the trouble to bring her back.

In the evening, the five members of the two families gathered around a table warmly and lively, eating and drinking. It was a celebration and a toast to the recent calm.

The rest of the people didn't know the current situation in City S, and they didn't know anything about Xiang Yisheng. Zhou Huiwen didn't say anything when he came back, and he didn't plan to tell everyone.

You should not look back on the past, some things will only increase your troubles if you understand them, so there is no need to talk about them.

Since Zhou Xiyun and the others knew nothing about this, Zhou Huiwen kept it a secret, and lived as he should when he got home, and never got involved with meaningless people or things from then on.

Zhou Huiwen was in a good mood that night, not as reticent as usual. Aunt Zhou drank two bowls of top-notch rice in one go, and drank half a glass of white wine. She clinked glasses with Xu Ziqing kindly.

Only the two mothers drink at the table. Grandma is too old to touch that thing. Qiao Yan doesn't touch it at home, for fear of getting too drunk and messing around. Zhou Xiyun also doesn't drink at all and is not interested in it.

And after dinner they have to wash the dishes, it is not convenient to work after drinking.

Everyone noticed Zhou Huiwen's subtle changes, and felt that Aunt Zhou was a little different today, but everyone tacitly agreed not to ask, and Zhou Huiwen didn't mention it unless she took the initiative to speak.

On the way, Zhou Xiyun served Zhou Huiwen a meal and a bowl of hot soup for his mother.

Qiao Yan also got up and brought an extra empty bowl for Zhou Huiwen to put vegetables in, and consciously put some food into that bowl, and then, not forgetting grandma and Xu Ziqing, he also picked vegetables for the other two elders one by one.

The two eldest girls in the family are so considerate, and they make people feel at ease in everything they do.

Not to mention, ordinary people's families usually can't find two such good ones, except for their sexual orientation, they are promising in all other aspects, both of them are the kind of young people who are absolutely satisfied in the eyes of their elders.

Sometimes looking at things from a different angle and ignoring the overly traditional side, in fact, both Qiao Yan and Zhou Xiyun seem to be very suitable candidates for the role of "son-in-law" for both.

The distance is close, and they know each other well. The two young people grew up together. There is a basis for their relationship... Apart from other things, Zhou Huiwen still likes Qiao Yan very much. Otherwise, he would not have bought an extra copy of everything before. Give Qiao Yan.

In addition, there is no need for the two families to get along with each other. They have been neighbors for so many years. From the previous generation to the present, the two families have helped each other. They really can't find a second family that is so good.

And when it comes to this point, the Zhou family actually doesn't need a good family, they must find Zhou Xiyun a family with the same wealth, the Zhou family doesn't lack those, and it's not just for that in the future.

For a family with the same conditions, the threshold for others is also high. It is not guaranteed that it is a marriage-for-interest set, and it is almost impossible to have pure feelings in the second half of life.

Zhou Huiwen has been in the business circle for a long time, and she knows some aspects too well. She has seen it a lot, and she knows very well that it is not suitable for her daughter.

The marriage of many people at the same level is often called a bad exchange. On the surface, it is a happy event, but in fact it is a negotiation to maintain a superficial relationship.

Zhou Huiwen ate the food Qiao Yan brought, and also drank the soup, all of which were accepted.

Unable to figure out the process of Aunt Zhou's psychological changes, Qiao Yan was still a little apprehensive when picking up the food, and she felt relieved when she saw that Aunt Zhou had eaten all of it.She has eyesight and knows that Zhou Huiwen's attitude is soft and gentle, so she joins the chats of the elders without a trace when she comes here, chats with Zhou Huiwen from time to time, and talks casually.

After leaving Qiao's house, Zhou Xiyun helped Zhou Huiwen go back and walked a short distance to the house.

Zhou Huiwen has a good drinker and is not drunk, but her daughter will be helped if she wants to be helped. When she gets home, she will go up to her at home and chat with Zhou Xiyun, asking about the trend of Yimeng Entertainment and Zhou Xiyun's personal investment. current situation.

Zhou Xiyun answered every question, and told the truth.

It was the first time in recent days that the mother and daughter were in such harmony, and the conversation was very harmonious.

When the door of the room was reached, Zhou Huiwen thought for a moment, and suddenly said: "You are not too young anymore, you have your own discretion, what you can do, what you can't do, and there is no need for me to teach you. From now on... I will not interfere with you." , as long as there is something to do."

The words are very euphemistic, but the meaning is relatively clear and the direction is unique.

Zhou Xiyun understood what it meant.She was a little surprised, but after regaining her senses the next moment, she still nodded clearly and replied, "Well, don't worry."

Zhou Huiwen was just too long-winded, so he stopped when he clicked, then thought about it and asked, "When will you and Qiao Qiao move back?"

The house is too cold, and it is always empty without them.

Even though the two of them returned to the compound every now and then.

Zhou Xiyun said: "This week, the day after tomorrow at the latest."

Zhou Huiwen nodded, knowing the situation without asking.

Turning around to enter the house again, intending to close the door.

Zhou Xiyun suddenly stopped him again, and said softly, "Mom, if you have anything to do, you can always call me."

Zhou Huiwen didn't respond to this sentence, and when she heard it, she behaved quite calmly.

Being a mother still has burdens, and I can't change it for a while, and the adaptation period is still long.

The door was closed, gently.

Zhou Xiyun stood outside the door for half a minute before turning into his room.

The next day, Zhou's girlfriend told Qiao Yan about this matter, and asked Qiao Yan if he planned to live in Wangjiang Jiayuan or Xijing Compound for a long time.

Qiao Yan naturally chose the latter.

One is for my girlfriend, and the other is to take care of my grandma more.

Originally, Qiao Yan had already moved out, and he bought the small villa to work nearby. Before that, he planned to live in Wangjiang Jiayuan for a long time, but because of the trouble last time, and considering that the old man is usually alone, he is very lonely. After all, Qiao Yan couldn't bear it, so he decided to move back to the Xijing compound after weighing up and down. The small villa has been used for a short stay in the past two years.

They had a serious discussion and talked about their future plans.

Two people will always involve two families when they are together, and many things have to be put on the agenda now.

What Qiao Yan meant was that living in the West Well Courtyard is convenient for the two mothers to work, and they are just making do with it. When the two elders retire one day, or when Xu Ziqing retires in two years, Zhou Huiwen also plans to turn her focus to daily life , the two families moved here.

The small villa has three floors, more than enough for two families to live in, and it will be no problem to hire two nannies when the time comes, it will be enough.

Before buying a house, Qiao Yan had already considered it. The housing design here also includes convenience for the elderly. It is definitely suitable for a family of five.

Zhou Xiyun supported and agreed with Qiao Yan.

The girlfriend's concerns are more comprehensive, thinking that if they want to hire housekeepers, live-in drivers, etc. in the future, they can buy a bigger house and live in a wider place.

The driver at home will definitely be used in the future. After all, Zhou Huiwen manages such a large company, and now there are already two full-time drivers, and other secretaries and assistants have to be counted separately.

Qiao Yan has no objection to Zhou's girlfriend's plan and understands it.

This is the advantage of childhood sweethearts. They don’t have to worry about the issues that ordinary lovers would argue about. Anyway, they can live under the same roof. Both parties don’t mind living like this. For example, which house to go to during the Chinese New Year and holidays in the future, and which side should parents take when they get old? This kind of trouble of being unclear doesn't exist at all, so don't even think about it.

They hit it off immediately, and soon mentioned this to their respective families. Xu Ziqing did not object, Zhou Huiwen acquiesced, and grandma was the happiest. Hearing that they were so considerate, the old man couldn't close his mouth with joy.

When talking about this, Xu Ziqing was happier, and the corners of his lips couldn't stop rising.

The mother was actually very touched, her nose was sour for no reason, and tears came out.It is gratifying for a daughter to have this kind of heart, not to mention that Qiao Yan is so sensible and always takes care of his family.

Ms. Xu knew that Qiao Yan had stayed in City A for the sake of her family all these years, understood her daughter's efforts, and felt a little sorry for Qiao Yan.

Everyone else's children go out and wander around when they are young, but her family has stayed with them since they were young, and they have never gone out to experience the outside world.

Qiao Yan quickly wiped away Xu Ziqing's tears, coaxed her a few words, and said carelessly, "Don't cry, don't cry, our beautiful girl Xu is so beautiful, she won't look good if she cries too much, stop now, it's all right."

The small mouth is double sweet, and the words that are pleasant to listen to will come when you open your mouth.

Xu Ziqing smiled, grabbed his sleeve and wiped it.

Qiao Yan said: "Oh, Mom, what are you thinking about? Every day, you fill up your brains. Alright, what's the big deal..."

Both sides informed, and the matter was settled.

This decision was a turning point. The two young people just made their own plans, and the elders were extremely helpful to them.

Not only Xu Ziqing, but also Zhou Huiwen has changed a lot since then, the barrier in his heart has become much thinner, and he has gradually become more and more acceptable.

In a blink of an eye it is the vernal equinox.

The cold of winter dissipated, and the buds on the branches of the treetops began to emerge.

Aunt Zhou went abroad once, and brought many gifts to Qiao Yan and the others when she came back, including a pair of earrings of the same style.

Qiao Yan and Zhou Xiyun looked at each other face to face. After receiving the gift, they didn't make a sound. They just accepted it in a low-key manner, and waited for the right time to find a chance to wear it.

Grandma praised Zhou Huiwen for her good eyesight, saying that the earrings suit them very well.

Qiao Yan looked in the mirror smugly, pushed her hair back to her ears, turned to Zhou Xiyun and asked, "How is it?"

Zhou Xiyun straightened the collar of his shirt and said, "It looks good."

Qiao Yan was happy, blinked, and said cheekily: "You are not bad, you are only a little worse than me."

Zhou Xiyun raised his hand to pinch her face, the corners of his mouth curled up.

The relationship between the two heated up rapidly and became more sticky.

In the past, they were still rivals, tossing and tossing twice for three days, but now they really don't see it.

Most of the time they lived in the Xijing compound, they were relatively quiet and restrained.But when I go outside, I am not so honest, especially in front of familiar friends occasionally, I often see my cheeks sore.

Xing Yuan didn't want to see the two of them. He hadn't caught up with that sister so far, and expressed his disdain for Zhou Xiyun's leaving the order first, saying that Zhou Xiyun had betrayed the organization.

Every time Wen Ruyu heard this, she couldn't help laughing and demolished Xing Yuan's stage.

Xing Yuan scoffed, and in turn mocked Wen Ruyu's singleness, which was not much better.

Boss Wen smiled and said nothing, the old god was taking a sip of coffee on the table, looking at Xing Yuan with crooked eyes.

Not justifying it, but not denying it either.

On the other side, at Tiancheng Road.

Coffee Fat is about to close down, and it has been going out of business for a while now.

Rong Yin was still a little emotional when talking about this matter, saying that business is difficult these days, Cafa has opened a branch, but it will close soon after that, and there is no one to connect.

But it’s also normal. The expansion speed of Kafa is too fast, and the investment is too large. It is not a wise move to spend money on marketing in the early stage. It is not surprising that it has ended up like this now.

Yuan Mingcheng is the one who mainly invests money. Now that he has entered, the capital chain is broken. How can the other partners survive? They can only close the business as soon as possible and stop losses in time. There is no other way.

Rong Yin sighed, thinking how strong the backer behind Kafa was, but it turned out to be such a big gimmick, but in the end it was just like this.

Qiao Yan said: "Let's work hard and strive to open a branch in two years."

Rong Yin smiled, "Okay, I think it's okay."

The cafe is about to collapse, and the surrounding colleagues can't wait to hold up banners to celebrate, and organize activities one after another, striving to win back all the customers.

Kafa will not join in the fun, just continue to maintain a steady and steady pace of progress.

The two bosses are more Buddhist, and strive to improve quality and stabilize the mid-end customer group, and take the rest slowly, not in a hurry.

When talking about other topics, Rong Yinshui confessed: "I have a new love."

Qiao Yan was not surprised, and asked without raising his head, "Who is it?"

Rong Yin said vaguely: "It can be regarded as a colleague, and it feels okay so far."

Qiao Yan asked something else, such as age, where he was from, and so on, just feel free to care.

Rong Yin found an older one this time, no longer a little sister type, but an intellectual and generous mature woman.Rong Yin likes the current one very much, and thinks that the three views and so on are quite suitable, and he plans to have a long-term relationship, so it should last longer.

It has been more than half a year since we separated from Ah Kuan, it's time to find another one.When a friend met a suitable partner, Qiao Yan was naturally happy, so he smiled and told him to invite him to dinner.

Rong Yin said: "Hurry up, next time I have a chance, I will take her to meet you."

"Do you want to take the money?" Qiao Yan asked deliberately, teasing.

Rong Yin continued: "You can do whatever you want, I don't mind."

"Then you have to prepare a big one, at least a few thousand yuan, no less." Qiao Yan said, paused, and was curious, "Can you bring your family to Cengfan?"

"Okay, whatever you want."

"Then you're welcome."

It was Zhou Xiyun who came to pick Qiao Yan up from get off work that day. On the way home, Qiao Yan talked to Zhou Xiyun about this.

Zhou Xiyun was not surprised at all, and said calmly, "I know."

Qiao Yan raised his eyebrows, "You know?"

Zhou Xiyun: "Yeah."

Qiao Yan turned his head and looked in the direction of the driver's seat with puzzled eyes.

Zhou Xiyun didn't explain directly, but only said: "Wen Ruyu is looking for a girlfriend too."

At first hearing that this sentence had nothing to do with the above question, Qiao Yan didn't turn the corner immediately, and after a while, he widened his eyes with an expression of epiphany.

...They actually got together, when did it happen?

Qiao Yan was completely ignorant and kept in the dark.
