Chapter 20

"Mom will definitely not ask you for no reason. The male college should get married, and the female college should get married. Mom is thinking about life-long affairs for you."

The expression on Shen's mother's face changed from easy-going to serious, and she glanced at Shen Danrui and said.

The more wealthy the family, the more straightforward the relationship between father and son, mother and daughter, and the earlier the time to consider marriage matters for their children, no exception in any age.

"Oh mom, what are you talking about..."

"Ouch!"

Shen Danrui didn't expect her mother to say this, so she accidentally cut the tomato and flew out.

Shen's mother's heart was seized all of a sudden, and she hurried over to check: "You didn't cut your hands."

"No."

Shen Danrui shook her head, put down the kitchen knife and bent down to pick up half a tomato on the ground.

"Don't pick it up if you drop it, our family is not short of a tomato."

Shen's mother picked up the tomatoes for her, threw them into the trash can and continued to ask, "You haven't answered the question Mom asked you just now."

"I answered, I didn't think of this level now, and I'm still young, so don't be so anxious to think about life-long events."

Shen Danrui also answered seriously.

"Hey, there are some things you still don't understand. If you don't catch an outstanding young man like Xiao Xu early, he will definitely be cut off by others in the future. By then, Mom won't be able to find you another like this."

"Mom is afraid that you will regret it later."

Mother Shen said earnestly, but Shen Danrui still shook her head.

"Jichang is indeed a leader among his peers. I admire him very much. But he has just entered the city to work now. Mom, it's too exaggerated for you to describe him like that."

"You don't understand, some things just fall short of the threshold. Since Xiao Xu can make an exception to recruit workers into the city, he has stepped into the threshold, and there will be endless opportunities waiting for him in the future."

"What's more, being able to enter a provincial enterprise from the countryside shows Xiao Xu's ability in itself. Our family needs a man who can set up a family like this. You will definitely be very happy after following him."

……

When Shen Danrui heard her mother's words, she lowered her head slightly and fell into deep thought.

When she was in school, she liked to talk to Xu Jichang, and she also admired Xu Jichang in her heart.Especially after his speech yesterday, this admiration became even stronger.

It was under the domination of this kind of psychology that she found Xu Jichang and asked Xu Jichang about her sister.

But is this really like it?Shen Danrui felt a little uncertain again.

"Mom, as you said, Jichang is really excellent, and I am willing to get along with him. But I still haven't figured out whether it's the friendship between friends or my liking for him. So mom, can you give me some time, and I'll give you an answer when I think it through. "

Shen Danrui said solemnly, she was a bit unsteady like a girl of this age.

"Okay, Mom can rest assured with your words, but you have to think about it as soon as possible. When Xiao Xu finishes his work and just joined the job, it is estimated that someone from their unit will introduce him to him."

"Okay Mom, I'll think about it as quickly as possible."

In the kitchen, Mother Shen and the eldest daughter happily reached an agreement on Xu Jichang's affairs.

At the table in the living room, Shen Qingrui, the youngest daughter of the Shen family, chatted equally happily with Xu Jichang, and the two even made an appointment to meet in the future.

"It's so interesting talking to you, time flies so fast before I know it."

"I have to go to the countryside in a few days. If nothing else, it will be nine o'clock in the morning this weekend. Will you come and see me off then?"

"Okay, I'll be there then."

"Yeah, I'll stay at your house after I go to the countryside. If you have time, go back and have a look. When the time comes, you will take me up the mountain to pick hazelnuts."

"Okay, I'll go back when I have time."

Xu Jichang was so entangled by Shen Qingrui that he couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that this young girl from the Shen family is really clingy.

At the same time, he saw that Shen Qingrui's face had long since lost the sadness she had when they first met, and it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as a happy face.

That's right, her dead ghost husband got married on a surprise blind date, and the two must have no relationship. Combined with the fact that the man is not in good health, maybe they didn't really enter the bridal chamber.

While the two were chatting and laughing, Shen Danrui had already left the kitchen with the food, which soon filled the entire dining table.

As expected of a rich family, there are a total of eight dishes and one soup. This year, ordinary people's homes do not have such a feat during the Chinese New Year.

Xu Jichang only thought it was the Shen family's good impression of him and their hospitality, but he never thought that Shen's mother had already chosen him as a son-in-law.

"You're welcome, Jichang, treat this as your own home."

"Good Aunt Shen, today's meal is really rich."

"Where is it? It's just plain food. I'm afraid you won't be able to eat well here."

Shen's mother greeted Xu Jichang warmly. As the saying goes, a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she likes her. Now she is especially looking forward to her eldest daughter's letter of approval, so that she can secure this good son-in-law as soon as possible.

Next to him, Shen Qingrui filled a bowl of soup for Xu Jichang, wishing to put all the meatballs in the crock into this bowl of soup.

As the elder sister, Shen Danrui sat opposite, with hesitation flashing in her eyes: she was also not sure whether the impulse to get close to Xu Jichang in her heart and her admiration for him were considered liking.

Three women in one play, all singing around Xu Jichang.

Xu Jichang, who was the center of the play, didn't realize it, he was gulping down the soup that Shen Qingrui served him, and after eating two meatballs, he praised Shen's mother's craftsmanship.

Shen's mother was very happy to be praised by Xu Jichang, and kept asking him to eat more.

Xu Jichang ate two bowls of rice with the dishes on the dinner table, and all the dishes on the table were wiped out under his leadership.

Before leaving, Shen's mother wanted Shen Danrui to send Xu Jichang off, but Shen Danrui had already got up and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, so Shen's mother had to ask Shen Qingrui to send him off.

"Okay mom."

After receiving the order, Shen Qingrui happily agreed, and went out with Xu Jichang and walked down the stairs.

The corridor was a bit stuffy, Shen Qingrui was touching Xu Jichang's shoulder, her pretty face was flushed, I don't know if it was because of the weather or other reasons.

"Actually, you can come and play with me before you go to the countryside. I'm on the day shift."

Halfway up the stairs, Xu Jichang said to Shen Qingrui.

"Hmm, okay, do you also get off work at 05:30 like the units in the county?"

Shen Qingrui asked.

"We are [-]:[-], a quarter of an hour earlier than them. Just wait for me at the gate of your family's courtyard."

"Okay, let's make a deal then."

Shen Qingrui hurriedly said as if afraid of Xu Jichang's repentance.

"how come."

Xu Jichang squeezed Shen Qingrui's little hand, and Shen Qingrui's face immediately turned red.

But she didn't pull out her hand, but obediently let Xu Jichang pinch it for a while.

Xu Jichang was so aggressive, he hugged Shen Qingrui into his arms, and kissed her neck twice.

"Well……"

Shen Qingrui closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly, and there was an expression on her face that she couldn't tell whether it was joy or pain.

Considering that Shen's mother and Shen Danrui might be looking into the yard upstairs, and that they might become suspicious after staying in the corridor with Shen Qingrui for a long time, Xu Jichang let go of Shen Qingrui not long after, and walked out of the corridor with her to the yard, and left after saying a few words.

Xu Jichang looked normal the whole time, as if nothing had happened, Shen Qingrui couldn't do that.When she entered the house, her face was still flushed.

"Qingrui, what's the matter with you?"

Shen Danrui was the first to notice something was wrong with her sister, and said with a puzzled face.

Shen Qingrui quickly explained: "It's okay, I'm just too hot."

Mother Shen didn't think it was strange: "It's a bit hot today, just go and drink some cold water."

Shen Danrui didn't say a word, she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't tell the details.

After leaving Shen's house, Xu Jichang walked back to the chemical fertilizer manufacturer's courtyard with ease. At this time, Ding Xiawei was busy rolling out wonton wrappers, preparing for tomorrow's breakfast, showing her exquisite curves behind her.

The hug with Shen Qingrui just now was a little unfinished, so Xu Jichang walked towards Ding Xiawei quickly after entering the room and seeing this scene.
