Ding Xi came back from outside this time, her eyebrows raised, and the smile on her mouth never faded.

She gently placed the puppet cat ornament on the bookshelf, sat down and stared at the ornament, stretched out her fingertips, lightly nodded the puppet cat's head, and smiled on her cheeks.

Xu Miaomiao asked her: "Go shopping with auntie?"

For four years in college, Ding Xi would go to Ding’s mother today to celebrate her birthday. In the past, she always came back after dinner, and she stayed till night today.

It seems that mother and daughter get along in harmony, and she is also very pleased.

"No." Ding Xi retracted her hand, her face remained unchanged, and she still smiled. "I went with Ji Huai, and went to the movies after dinner. I bought this while shopping."

As she said, she put her cute and cute puppet cat ornament in her hand and let her see it.

"Very good-looking." Xu Miaomiao praised her, but she knew it from the bottom of her heart.

Ding Xi bought gifts and ordered cakes, but he was shopping with Ji Huai for dinner. Didn't Ding Mu stay for dinner this year?

Thinking of this, she frowned, which was too much. Ordinary friends come to visit, bring cake gifts to the door, and let people stay for a meal, right?

Ding Xi put the decoration back again and asked casually, "Aren't you going to the movie with Li Chengyang tonight? Why haven't you prepared yet?"

Li Chengyang is her new boyfriend, a handsome younger brother. Xu Miaomiao has to put on makeup for an hour, and it's nine o'clock now.

"It's divided." Xu Miaomiao waved her hand, shrank in her hanging chair, changed a comfortable position, and opened the beauty blogger's video.

"Why?" Ding Xi dumbfounded.

It was good before, like glue and paint, as if to find true love.

"My sixth sense, the second day you left, he was caught by me chatting with the girl from the college next door. He was exposed too quickly. The transfer records and chat records are all available. What face does he have?" Xu Miaomiao Shrugged, "I said I would catch it, so I didn't make a mistake. My sixth sense is very accurate."

Ding Xi: "Then what are you going to do next?"

"What do you do? If you don't behave, replace it. Is there still a lack of men in the world?" Xu Miaomiao glanced back at her, the corners of her eyes and mouth were upturned, and her tone of voice was casual. A person, as long as they are separated, will live a happy life."

"Time and energy, only for people who know it."

Only a selfish person can live happily. What is love? Very imaginary.

Ding Xi pursed her lips, "I can't do it."

She couldn't be as free and easy as Xu Miaomiao, let alone live like her.

The other party once said that a person can like several people at the same time, but she only loves Ji Huai.

"Of course you can't do it, but this is good." Xu Miaomiao turned around, meditated for a while, and then said to her, "I see people accurately, but Ji Huai is not allowed, don't let me influence."

She and every boyfriend not long ago got along with each other, and she understood seven to eight points. As long as there is a problem, the truth is inseparable from her analysis. However, her judgment of Ji Huai has repeatedly been biased, so she no longer makes redundant evaluations.

Ding Xi stopped the movement in his hand and laughed, "Is this your affirmation of him?"

Only once, she was very happy.

"Not sure, but I just think you will be very happy. Didn't you find out? Even if you come back from your aunt today, you are still very happy, he can take away your unhappiness." Xu Miaomiao denied, pointing to Ding Xi's eyes. "Mention those two words, there will be light in your eyes."

This is very rare, indicating that Ji Huai's influence can heal Ding Xi's previous damage.

Hearing this, Ding Xi was stunned. She went to look at the phone subconsciously. Ding's mother did not send her a polite message as before. She was not in a panic waiting today, and she completely forgot about it.

She was very comfortable and happy with Ji Huai today, and was extremely reluctant to part with each other.

Xu Miaomiao did not speak any more, turned around and continued to watch her beauty video. The voice of the blogger's explanation came from time to time.

At eleven thirty, the lights in the bedroom were about to be turned off, and Ding Xi's cell phone rang. For the first time, she thought it was Ji Huai.

Look at the remarks, it's Ding Mu.

She didn't make a big wave in her heart like before, and then it sounded, "Mom?"

The other party is still polite, "The necklace is very beautiful, and I also ate the cake, it tastes good. Mom is not free today, next time you come to play and eat together."

"Yeah." Ding Xi responded and suddenly asked, "Are you coming back now?"

Mother Ding: "Yes, I'm busy today, just got home."

"Then you rest early." Ding Xi didn't start the topic anymore, but wanted to end the call quickly.

Mother Ding also noticed something was wrong, and said one more thing, "Take a shower and go to bed. There will be class tomorrow morning."

"Well, you go quickly, it's late." Ding Xi finished speaking, and exited the page when she hung up the phone.

The cake is an ice cream cake. It has been a day and it has already melted.

Mother Ding is pampered, how can she eat the cake that has been melted after a day? The only possibility is that the other party hasn't even opened the box, and didn't even look at it.

She thought she would cry, but it was strange that she was not as uncomfortable in her heart as she thought.

Before she could think about it, Ji Huai's video called again. After answering, he saw that the page on his computer was stock market information.

"Are you still studying? What did you study?" Ding Xi held his chin and looked at him on the other side of the camera.

"The more you study, the more you understand, of course." Ji Huai fiddled with the mouse, "but you have to take it slowly, not in a hurry."

"Will you make a lot of money when you research it out?" She laughed and teased him.

She knew that he was cautious and treated money more than anything else, and she was relieved that he would not invest a lot of money in the stock market.

"Make five million first?" Ji Huai raised an eyebrow.

"So much?" Ding Xi opened his mouth slightly, stretched out a finger, and boldly made a presupposition. "One million is a lot, right?"

She is a non-graduated student who has no clear concept of money. During the internship, she was only given 500 yuan a month for supplementary meals. She did not need money for accommodation in the school, and meals were cheap.

"Is one million a lot?" Ji Huai looked at the 1.23 million in his securities account.

No wonder stocks are so tempting. He has worked hard for a few years and only saved 300,000 yuan. After entering the stock market, he will be able to double and double again before long.

This money is really good.

"More?" Ding Xi hesitated.

"Many." Ji Huai looked serious, and according to his current annual salary, he would have to save a few years.

Ding Xi was afraid that he was under pressure and took shortcuts, "In fact, we don't need that much money. When I graduate, I will look for a job, and"

"When you graduate, don't I have to work harder? How else can I give you a home?" Ji Huai said softly and interrupted her with a smile.

She originally wanted to tell him that grandma had left her a house, but he interrupted her, but she silently swallowed it back.

Yes, although she has no home, she can form a home with Ji Huai.

When she was silent, Ji Huai sent her the recruitment standards of several large companies, "I do not recommend that you come out to work so early, you need to improve your professional skills. Technical positions require you to have strong professional skills, according to I know that you are still lacking in this aspect, unless you are willing to accept the price of cabbage, but it is not necessary. The longer-term development in the future is more important than the present."

Ding Xi is an art student and he is good at painting. The best direction is to go to UI designer. Because he is good at hand-painting, he has aesthetic ability and creativity. As long as he improves his skills in a targeted manner, he can go to a higher level without having to go. The small company struggles as a community animal, and the company squeezes its value.

The most common misunderstanding of a freshman's life is to want to make money early, thus neglecting his own development, especially for people like him who have climbed up from a young place and are helpless.

"Don't you need to find a job first?" Ding Xi was also confused, and no one taught her what to do.

"Don't worry, don't worry, you can go on a graduation trip with your classmates, and have fun. I will sort out the information for you and see if there are any targeted training classes. You have to take classes well, and the training classes will be more difficult. , The content is concentrated." Ji Huai vaccinated her in advance.

If no one is leading the way for fresh graduates, many of them will crash like headless flies, anxious and confused, nervous and uneasy.

He didn't want her to follow his old path, nor did he want her to miss regrets.

Play well and prepare well.

Ding Xi naturally trusted him. Hearing what he said, her heart settled down and she naturally agreed to study hard. If you go to play, she wants him to accompany him.

Ji Huai: "I can't spare too much time, four days at most, where do you want to go?"

Please take two days off, plus the weekend, which makes for exactly four days.

"It doesn't matter where you go, just be with you." She smiled crookedly, with sweet waves in her eyes.

When Ji Huai met these aura of faces, he always felt fascinating, and his tone of voice was unconsciously gentle, "You can go wherever you want, stay with you."

In a blink of an eye, it was the May Day holiday.

Ji Huai prepared the itinerary early and booked the air ticket.

His family is in a small mountain village in the south. If the government hadn't built roads vigorously a few years ago, maybe the roads out of the mountain are all loess and potholes.

Fortunately, their home is not too far away, there is a small town a few kilometers away from the village, and a little bit further inside, I am afraid that they will be cut off from the world.

He was not in a hurry to take Ding Xi back. The two of them had been playing in the city for three days, and after confirming with her again, he called back and told the Ji family that he would take his girlfriend back.

At the same time, Ji family.

As soon as Ji Huai said to bring his girlfriend back, the Ji family exploded.

"Which person?" Ji Mu leaned over and asked with wide-eyed eyes.

"Capital." Ji's father is only as tall as Ji's mother, thin and dark. He is almost sixty years old, his old eyes are dim, he raised his hand and looked at the phone, "I will be back tomorrow, hurry up and tidy up the house."

"People from the capital? What do parents do?" Ji Mu was delighted when she heard it, and patted her thighs straight. "I said Xiaohuai has something to do, and they are all in the capital, so I can't find a capital from the capital? ?"

In her opinion, the girls here are not worthy of her son. If they can't marry into their home, they must be rich people in big cities.

"How do I know this?" Father Ji put the phone up, put a cigarette in his mouth, lowered his head, covered the lighter with his hand, and ignited the lighter. After lighting it, he took two sips and urged, "The house has to be cleaned up. I’ve come to see you, don’t you have any ideas? I’ll go shopping for more food tomorrow."

He is doing chores now, and he does a day count as a day. Usually go when you have no money, and spend money at home.

"It's to clean up, the big city girl, I don't know whether it will be served." Ji Mu nodded, and was about to sweep the floor with the broom.

"You still have to wait? If you marry, is it marrying an ancestor?" Sister Ji walked out of the kitchen with half a cucumber in her hand. "The conditions in our house are not bad. There are still two floors. ?"

There are still many people living in loess houses in the village.

"Fine, close your mouth." Ji's father was unwilling to listen to her, his tone was impatient, "I am also a capitalist at any rate, so please take control of your mouth and don't talk indiscriminately!"

He often goes out to work as a handyman anyway, and he still has a bit of knowledge in his heart. He is not as confused as Ji Mu and Sister Ji. The people in the big cities are very good. He hasn't married yet, so he has a good impression.

Ji Huai may rely on others in the future.

Sister Ji squatted her mouth, gnawing cucumbers and walked to Ji's mother, her tone of yin and yang, "This hasn't been in the door yet, look at Dad, her heart is wrong. What's wrong with the people in the capital? The people in the capital are also looking at Jihuai," It must be not very good. Look at Ji Huai's face and academic qualifications."

Ji Huai looks good in their family. She and her second sister are sturdy and have darker skin.

Ji's mother was not focused on this, but she became proud, "Is Ji Huai good-looking? No matter whether he is studying, the whole town can't compare to him."

That is because she was born well and raised well.

"Good or good, what if I bring back an ugly one?" Sister Ji said again.

"That won't work, bring an ugly one back and make the whole village laugh, I won't agree!" Ji Mu said with a stern face, "You can't bring the ugly back, let alone marry the ugly, it's embarrassing!"

Face is more important than anything.

"Maybe it's really ugly to come back, I see what you do." Sister Ji said on purpose.

"Everyone in the village is watching, and their faces are embarrassing. You can't find someone who looks ugly, and you can't find someone older than him. It's not enough to be a capitalist, but you have to have money." Ji Mu said of course.

"Ji Huai has been reading books for so many years. If he doesn't understand this truth, he will read it badly." Sister Ji also agreed with what she said, "Reading is for nothing."

"Bring it back, you should observe and observe more." Ji Mu looked at Sister Ji and exhorted several times.

"I know, of course you have to ask clearly what you should ask." Sister Ji understood very well in her heart.

Although she doesn't have a deep relationship with Ji Huai's sister and brother, the other's excellence is also the capital she used to show off. Now who doesn't know that she has a brother who is studying at Capital University and making a lot of money in a big city?

The better the wife Ji Huai marries, the better the job, and she will rise with the tide. When the time comes, she will have to keep her eyes on looking for someone.

Early the next morning.

Ding Xi and Ji Huai left for home.

They were in the city last night, and they would be able to get to the town in another three hours by car, but they had to stop halfway because there was no car in the town leading to the village.

Ding Xi was sitting in the car, looking out the window with surprise and shock.

She grew up in the most prosperous city in the country and rarely traveled outside the capital. She thought that all cities in the country were as well-developed as the capital. When Xu Miaomiao described remote areas with her, she didn't feel it at all.

Can't understand.

When riding in an old and shaky traffic car, outside the window is a low building built halfway up the mountain. The traffic car bends around the road and traverses one mountain after another.

At the foot of the mountain, there are still villagers who are constantly farming.

She has a feeling that if she is sold inside, she is afraid that she will not be able to escape, right?

The car will also stop in the middle of the road, some up, some people down, if the person above the thrush is not so kind, she will hide away from Jihuai.

Looking at her cautious expression, Ji Huai couldn't help but smile, and put her arms around her, and put her head in her ear, "So scared? Afraid that I will sell you?"

She turned her head, knowing that he was teasing her, her eyes narrowed slightly, "Now it is a society under the rule of law, do you dare?"

"I dare you." Ji Huai's voice lowered again and moved closer, and the warm breath was sprayed in her ears, "Sell me to be a daughter-in-law. I only have three meals a day. I don't lock my house. Let you go out to harm others, it's enough to harm me. Maybe you have to force children to be born. Are you afraid?"

Ding Xi looked at him who was close to Chi Chi, and his cheeks slowly turned red.

She is not afraid!

The two got out of the car, luckily, they ran into a villager at the head of the village. The other party drove a tricycle with a few bags of fertilizer in the back.

The other party recognized Ji Huai, so the two got on the tricycle.

The tricycle was bumpy, bumpy, and Ding Xi looked curiously at the cows and horses in the field.

The villagers who drove were chatting in Jihuai, and the other party glanced at Ding Xi several times, "Are you bringing your girlfriend back?"

Ji Huai: "Yes, come back and take a look during the holiday."

"A girl in a big city, isn't it? Your kid is a good man. Back then, you and my eldest son played in the mud and fished for fish in the river. Now the gap is big." The man said again.

"It's all about making a living everywhere, so there's no chance of it." Ji Huai has already faced himself squarely. In addition to reading a little book, how can he compare to others?

"That's not right. Sitting in the office and getting the salary is the same as we digging in the ground? My two sons are putting fertilizer in the ground now. I will have to send the fertilizer in a while."

"We also have to work overtime until the early hours of the morning, paying thousands of dollars in rent, how can it be so easy?" Ji Huai laughed after speaking, "Uncle Zhang, I can't compare with Zhang Dan. I only come back a few days a year, they By your side every day, Zhang is one-handed and diligent. I heard that the price of corn was good last year and this year, and you made far more money than me."

Each household in their village has dozens of acres of land and grows various crops every year. Nowadays, it is mechanical farming, but most of it still relies on manpower, so every household is desperate to give birth to sons. With sons, there is labor.

He used to disdain to compare with them, thinking that these people had no future in his hometown, the bottom people. But thinking about it, he didn't have a good life. Every day he was squeezed by capitalists and left his hometown. I don't know how long it will take to take root.

Uncle Zhang was comfortable with these words. This kid from the Ji family is not arrogant now. He grinned, "The harvest is good, and life will be easier. I plan to buy a car at the end of the year."

Although his son is not very promising, he is by their side, and he can still see him every day. If he is like Ji Huai, it would be a shame.

Don't you want to stay by your side to support your child?

Ji Huai was surprised: "Is this all a car? Zhang Dan must be happier than you."

"Isn't it? That kid clamored to buy a car every day." Uncle Zhang happily said, drove a turn and drove towards Ji's house, "It's not bad for this way, I'll send you up."

"Thank you Uncle Zhang." Ji Huai thanked him.

Uncle Zhang: "What a big deal, your kid is lucky, and your girlfriend is very beautiful."

Send them to the door of Ji's house, Uncle Zhang drove around and left.

Not surprisingly, after a while, many people in the village will know that Ji Huai has brought back a beautiful girlfriend.

Sister Ji and Mother Ji are the best to wonder what Ding Xi looks like and go out the fastest.

Ji Mu smiled when seeing Ding Xi's first face.

She looks good, she has never seen such a good-looking girl. She has a good-looking skin and a good figure. She will give her the face of her parents if she is good-looking.

Ding Xi wore a light blue knee-length skirt, a white collar, and a waist waist design to set off her tall and white. She wore a pair of flat shoes on her feet, looking at the more obedient girl.

It's easy to be bullied at the first glance, Ji Mu's eyes narrowed with a smile, and her attitude was warm, "Xiao Xi, right? Tired on the road? Come in quickly."

Ding Xi shouted at Ji Huai's introduction. Facing Ji's mother's enthusiasm, she was a little uncomfortable and looked at Ji Huai at a loss.

Ji Mu wanted to step forward to pull her, Ji Huai did not let anyone go, and walked in with her hand, "Mom, what are you doing? I'm not afraid to scare people?"

Ji Huai will not let anyone go, so Ji Mu will naturally not pull, just follow behind.

Sister Ji looked at Ding Xi's exposed hand, it was almost white as a light, and then looked at her, black became a piece of carbon, it turns out that someone is so white, and the thought of wanting to compare secretly arises in her heart.

"You deserve to be a girl from a big city, look at it." Ji Mu tweeted a few times.

"So skinny, can you have a baby?" Sister Ji whispered again, "Look at how flat her **** is, can she have a son?"

Ji Mu also looked at Ding Xi.

"Skin and tender meat, are you willing to do housework? Do you know how to do housework? Don't we have to serve her? You want to be her nanny." Sister Ji concluded.

"That won't work." Ji Mu shook her head, and her daughter-in-law must be obedient and work more.

"You haven't heard that people in the capital despise people, they must despise us." Sister Ji thinks that Ding Xi looks so good-looking, and despise them even more.

When Ji Mu heard this, the excitement in her heart eased a lot, and she pulled her face down.

"What are you whispering?" Father Ji gritted his teeth and squeezed a sentence from between his teeth, winking at them constantly.

Ji Huai took Ding Xi to the room first, put her luggage down, and then led her downstairs.

The Ji’s house has two floors, but the two floors are not as Ding Xi imagined. The outside is covered with tiles and decorated with two floors. The exterior wall of Ji's building was only coated with a layer of cement, covering the red bricks, and the floor inside was also coated with a layer of cement. The wall surface should have been coated with a layer of white ash before, but now it has turned yellow.

One place on the second floor is still covered with iron boron, and inside is a utility room.

Ding Xi had never seen such a house, it felt a bit like a rough house, she was still stunned.

They didn't come back too early, just in time for dinner, so they ate their meals openly.

"I went shopping early this morning and bought a few fish. Your mother got up early to kill the chicken, and it was done a long time ago. I will wait for you to come back." Father Ji said to Ji Huai, actually speaking to Ding Xi. .

A large table of dishes, although not very good-looking, they are also big fish and meat.

Ding Xi naturally wants to say something nice. She is organizing the language, and Ji Huai has already said it first, “It’s a bit blocked on the road, so it takes a little time and there are many things to carry. It’s all the gifts that Xiaoxi bought for you. I'll give it to you after the meal."

"I have everything at home, what do I spend that money for?" Although Father Ji said so, he thought about what he would receive in his heart.

Ji Huai's girlfriend is still sensible and from the capital, he is still very satisfied.

While eating, Sister Ji spoke to Ding Xi, "I heard that you only graduated this year. What did you study?"

Ding Xi replied, "Visual communication."

"That major is not easy to find a job." Sister Ji was eating chicken and chattering. "You are still an art student. It is difficult for art students to learn well. Most of them are half-hearted and have no future."

Ding Xi stopped, and didn’t know how to return. Ji Huai went back calmly: “Why can’t you stop your mouth after eating? It’s not easy to find a job after graduation from college, but it’s easy to find a job after graduation from junior high school? Did you find it?"

Sister Ji was speechless and suffocated: "That's why I don't want to find it. If I want to find it, why can't I find it?"

"What kind of work do you still want to do? You can't do anything for more than three months, either arguing with your boss or arguing with guests. What kind of job do you look for every time? Are you embarrassed to talk about someone else?" .

"Do you care about me?!" The eldest sister Ji ate her food, becoming angry from embarrassment.

Ji Huai caught Ding Xi with her favorite beans, and said, "I don't bother to care about you."

"Eating and eating, what are you arguing about at the dinner table?" Father Ji eased the atmosphere and glared at Sister Ji a few times.

The eldest sister Ji had a thick skin. After a while, she asked Ding Xi, "What do your parents do?"

When I asked this question, Ji's father and Ji's mother not only didn't stop them, their ears were also erected.
