Ji Ke sat up and looked at Xu Fang innocently.
"Mom, why does brother-in-law stand by that female colleague? Do you like her?"
It is reasonable to say that Ji didn't know about it. After returning home, when Xu Fang called her grandma and mentioned Ji Ling's return, Xu Fang also mentioned the reason for coming back.
Then Ji Ke heard it.
"What nonsense?" Xu Fang reprimanded her daughter not to talk nonsense, but her expression hesitated.
Ji Ke leaned over, "Mom, think about it, otherwise, which man would not stand by his wife for such a crime?"
"Your brother-in-law is upright."
"Hmph, how can there be such an upright person? Before he came to the door, he convicted himself first." Ji Ke pouted, "In the future, if my husband dares to treat me like this, I will divorce him immediately."
"Nonsense again, there really is a day when you can't find the north even if you cry." Xu Fang went to make the quilt, "Okay, it's getting late, you go back to sleep."
Ji Ke obediently left the door.
Ji Yong was in his son's room and saw his little daughter go back to his room, so he went back to his own room.
"Sounds right?"
"It's clear, it's because I have a good face and refuse to admit that I am wrong." When Xu Fang spread the quilt and unbuttoned it, her little daughter's words flashed in her mind. She hesitated and said, "Zhu Weidong stands in front of outsiders. Do you have a good relationship with that female colleague?"
Ji Yong didn't realize that the "very good relationship" his wife said referred to the relationship between a man and a woman, and said while taking off his clothes, "The child is gone, and he is alone again. Whoever sees it can help."
Xu Fang saw that her husband didn't understand, so she didn't say any more, and saved herself from acting like she was troublesome.
The next day, when Ji Ling woke up, Ji Ke came up to him, "Sister, you are back."
I cried a lot yesterday, Ji Ke's eyes were still swollen, and his double eyelids were gone.
Ji Ling thought about what Ji Jianhua learned last night, and couldn't help laughing, "Yes, I can stay here until school starts."
It was visible to the naked eye that Ji Ke's smile froze for a moment, and Ji Ling's mood became even better, "I came back late last night and heard you crying, what happened?"
Ji Ke opened his mouth, the smile on his face disappeared completely, and hummed, "It's okay."
Ji Ling let out a cry.
In this way, Ji Ke doesn't go to Ji Ling's side anymore, and Ji Ling is also happy and relaxed.
During the day, Ma Hui and Dong Manhua came, and they were carrying things in their hands. They were asked by the family to bring them here. Xu Fang was too polite and asked them to stay for dinner. They didn't refuse, and ran to Ji Ling's room up.
Ji Ke was lying in his room, when he heard laughter coming from the next door, he turned over and covered the quilt over his head.
While waiting for dinner, someone at home came to give gifts again.
Miao Shaozhen brought a lot of things, including wine, chicken and a whole box of apples.
In such a cold day, fruits are extremely expensive, even apples are rare.
When she came to give gifts, Ji Yong was very surprised. He was stunned for a moment to call people into the house, and then asked his son to take the things.
"Why are you so polite? It stands to reason that I should see your grandpa." Ji Yong said politely.
Miao Shaozhen and Miao Shaozhen also came to give gifts and a young man left after putting down the things.
Ji Yong smiled, "Don't worry, I'll keep it for myself." Ji Yong said, "It just so happens that the family has just had dinner, and they are all about your age. Don't treat yourself as an outsider, let's eat together."
Xu Fang went to get the bowls and chopsticks, and then Miao Shaozhen sat down next to Ma Hui, and Ji Ke on the other side.
Miao Shaozhen also asked Ji Ke how she was doing with her review in a modest manner. When she heard that she said that she got the first place in the entrance examination, she was very envious.
There are many people in the family, and the meal is lively. Ji Yong drank half a glass of wine, his whole face turned red, and he went down after eating a bowl of rice, saying that he would not disturb the young people talking.
Xu Fang also left knowingly.
They are all girls, and Ji Jianhua left earlier than Ji Yong.
Everyone talked about what they had encountered this year. Ma Hui was repeating her studies in the city and went to the same school as Ji Ke, but Ji Ke mostly reads at home now, so the two rarely met each other at school.
Ma Hui's grades in the joint entrance examination were average, but she knew that she was confident that she would be admitted to university next year.
Miao Shaozhen didn't sit for long, and told Ji Ling that she wanted to go home to accompany her grandfather, and Ji Ling sent her out.
The two stood at the door of the store, and Miao Shaozhen said, "Go back quickly, you are pregnant now, you should pay attention to your walking, and if it is convenient for the new year, we can go back to the capital together."
"Okay." Ji Ling only responded politely.
But I have long refused to go with Miao Shaozhen in my heart.
Later, when sending Ma Hui and Dong Manhua away, Xu Fang came out and let the two of them take the prepared things. They were not polite, thanked them and left with the things.
Ji Ling went to help clear the table, Xu Fang said, "Go back to the room, I'll clean it up."
Ji Ling responded and went back to her room.
Ji Ke quietly followed Xu Fang to clean up the table. There were many people eating and the room was a bit messy. Xu Fang turned her head and saw her daughter was frowning.
"Okay, you can go back too, I will clean up by myself."
"Mom, do you want to keep doing this at home during the Chinese New Year?" Ji Ke sat down, "I don't think it's tiring to clean up the table, it's just that there are so many people every day, it's so noisy. I still want to review it these few days."
"No, tomorrow is twenty-nine, the day after tomorrow is Chinese New Year, everyone is busy celebrating Chinese New Year, no one will come again, but after the third day of junior high, I have to go to your grandma's house." Xu Fang laughed, "It's not good if there are too many people ?"
Ji Ke shook his head, "Sitting together, I don't know what to say."
Xu Fang saw through her daughter's small thoughts and did not expose them. Everyone surrounded Ji Ling. The youngest daughter was raised by being held in her arms. Facing such a scene, she naturally felt that there was a gap.
This is just a corner of life. After going to college, you will meet better people. After getting married at work, Xu Fang thought of these, so she didn't comfort her daughter. She has to learn to grow up and face the burden by herself.
Ji Jianhua stayed in his sister's room, "Zhu Weidong didn't call."
"Brother, you didn't wait all day, did you?"
"I didn't wait, just stayed in the store."
Ji Ling suppressed a smile, "Don't wait, he lives quite far from the county, and it takes more than three hours by car. How could he come out to make a phone call after the New Year's Eve?"
"No matter how far away you are, as long as you have the heart, you will definitely call." Ji Jianhua has a lot of opinions on Zhu Weidong now, "Don't be soft-hearted, you will forgive him if he says a word, and let him deeply understand what he did wrong."
Finally added a sentence, "Men can't be used to it."
"Brother, you are also a man."
"I'm a man, so I understand men."
