Marry a female star at a bargain price

Chapter 108 107. Han Xixi is definitely a good wife
Return to Gillie Garden.

Liu Liyun bought a refrigerator full of vegetables and was busy in the kitchen in the afternoon.

Seeing them come back, Liu Liyun's eyes were full of smiles. She kept serving fruits, pouring tea and bringing snacks.

From the look of it, I thought it was like welcoming a newly married girl back home.

After chatting for a while, Liu Liyun went back to the kitchen to busy herself.

Not long after, Han Haijun also rushed back from Yizhou. During the chat, he asked Lin Xiao a few questions about the unfinished building project.

"I have already signed the contract with Dijin!" Lin Xiao said truthfully.

"Oh? The progress is quite fast, not bad!"

The Han navy didn't react much, as if they thought it was a matter of course.

Lin Xiao didn't think much about it.

After chatting for a while, we started eating.

Liu Liyun was in a good mood today and cooked a table full of dishes.

"Today is New Year's Day! It's the beginning of a new year, everything is new, and our family is reunited. Let's raise a toast together and wish everyone good health and a prosperous career in the new year. Cheers!"

Han Haijun raised his cup and said.

The four of them raised their glasses, clinking them together, and drank them all in one gulp.

Putting down the cup, Liu Liyun joked, "We're having a family dinner, don't be so formal. You even used phrases like 'The beginning of the new year brings a new beginning to everything'. Do you think this is a company meeting?"

Han Haijun didn't think anything of it at first.

After being reminded by his wife, he realized that something was wrong and laughed out loud in a simple manner.

Liu Liyun looked at her daughter and said, "Xixi, I watched your performance at the Tomato TV New Year's Eve Concert last night. You sang really well!"

Han Xixi was stunned and a little surprised.

Her parents have always been against her pursuing a career in music.

When applying for college entrance examination, she acted first and asked for permission later, secretly applying to Haicheng Conservatory of Music without telling her parents.

Although the old couple's opposition was ineffective, they have always wanted her to enter the system after graduation.

At worst, I could become a music teacher in school.

Their opposition to her music career can be seen from the fact that after the "sponsor keeping scandal" happened, her family unanimously asked her to remain silent and not to clarify.

As far as Han Xixi could remember, this was the first time her mother gave a positive comment on her singing, and in such a praising manner.

She felt so touched that she wanted to cry.

Lin Xiao was keenly aware of her emotions and quickly said, "Mom, you weren't there. The TV actually compromises the sound quality. It's better to listen to it live!"

"Really? I don't understand. I just think it sounds good enough on TV!"

Liu Liyun smiled and continued, "Especially the song 'Nuan Nuan'. The lyrics are very simple and reminded me of when I was in love with your father. At that time, he was in the countryside and his conditions were not good. I cooked pork ribs soup and traveled a long way to see him, but there was no place to eat properly. The two of us stayed in a small room at a hydrological monitoring station and drank a bowl of soup with two spoons - just like the lyrics!"

Liu Liyun was immersed in memories, with a look of nostalgia on her face.

Han Haijun was a little embarrassed: "Why are you saying this in front of the children..."

Liu Liyun said seriously, "There's no one here, so why are you talking? I'm just feeling emotional. In this day and age, when people are so impetuous, it's not easy to write such simple lyrics! Of course, Xixi sang really well, and she brought out all the warm feelings. Mom is really impressed by you!"

Han Xixi was a little embarrassed by the compliments: "It's mainly because the composer wrote the lyrics well. I just took advantage of it."

Lin Xiao hurriedly said, "That's not right! Didn't Teacher Ma write this song specifically for you? If he hadn't appreciated your musical expression, the old man wouldn't have been able to write such a good song. This is mutual, right, mom and dad?"

Liu Liyun quickly responded and highly agreed with this point of view.

Even Han Haijun, who had always been ambiguous about his daughter's music career, nodded: "Xiao Lin is right, Xixi... very good!"

This affirmation touched Han Xixi even more, and she almost burst into tears.

After enduring for a long time, I finally held back these hypocritical tears.

When he turned his head, he happened to make eye contact with Lin Xiao, and they both smiled ambiguously.

"That's right, Xiaolin!"

Liu Liyun suddenly asked, "It's New Year's Day now, and you and Xixi are both on holiday, so why don't you arrange for us to meet your parents... We should have met a long time ago, but everyone was busy, so we kept putting it off! Now that we have time, let's talk to our in-laws about your big event!"

The sudden topic caught Lin Xiao off guard.

Han Xixi was standing by and knew from his reaction that he was unwilling, so she quickly said, "Mom, I have to leave tomorrow morning, and it's too late to arrange a meeting now!"

Liu Liyun insisted, "You are so busy now, how can you make time for me? Anyway, you went home with Xiaolin last time and met your parents-in-law. If you don't come this time, then don't come. The main thing is for me and your father to meet the in-laws!"

Han Haijun also nodded, obviously feeling that this was a very important matter that could not be delayed.

Han Xixi's face became tense.

She subconsciously wanted to ask back when she had met her parents-in-law. Then she changed her mind and remembered that this really happened last time - it was just a lie, she didn't go at all, she had been staying in Lin Xiao's house for those two days!
She calmed herself down and said before Lin Xiao could speak: "That won't do! Although I have met my parents-in-law, a meeting between both parents is a big deal. As a daughter-in-law, how can I not show up? Wouldn't that be impolite and disrespectful!"

Liu Liyun looked hesitant.

If you think about it carefully, this is indeed the case.

Although my daughter and son-in-law have obtained their marriage certificate and the conventional wedding customs have been reversed, the necessary etiquette is still necessary.

This is also the professional habit that the couple has developed over the years!
"Then when will we be able to find the time for the next time?" Liu Liyun was very melancholy.

“It’s always possible!”

Han Xixi smiled and said, "Lin Xiao and I have already obtained the marriage certificate, and you, as the son-in-law, can't run away. Are you still worried that you won't have the chance to meet your in-laws?"

This one sentence dispelled the old couple's worries.

Liu Liyun sighed helplessly: "Then I'll listen to you, but you better pay attention to this matter and stop delaying it!"

The young couple agreed without hesitation.

……

After dinner.

Lin Xiao and Han Xixi stayed at home with the old couple for a long time, and did not leave until almost ten o'clock, then drove to Tianlanyuan.

After getting in the car, both of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thank you for helping me out during the meal!" Lin Xiao said.

"No need!"

Han Xixi said playfully, "I caused this trouble in the first place, so of course I'm here to solve it. How can that be considered helping you out?"

Lin Xiao thought about it and it made sense.

No more pretentiousness.

"What about tomorrow? Are you really going back to Haicheng?" he asked.

"I finally have a vacation, I'm not going back!"

Han Xixi thought about it and decided, "I'll just stay in your house. I can't go out anyway, so staying at home is like a vacation!"

Lin Xiao was a little embarrassed: "Then I can't accompany you... Tomorrow my college roommate's son will celebrate his first birthday, and I promised him that I would go!"

Han Xixi felt a little disappointed, but it passed away instantly.

"It's okay, go away, I'm more comfortable alone!"

"okay!"

The two agreed not to talk along the way.

the next day.

Han Xixi slept until she woke up naturally. When she opened her eyes, she found that the sun was shining on her butt. She was so embarrassed.

She felt that her lazy image would not look good in other people's homes, so she quickly got up, wiped her face and smoothed her hair before going out.

When I arrived at the living room, I happened to meet Lin Xiao coming in with breakfast.

"Get up," he greeted.

"Um……"

"You must be exhausted from preparing for the New Year's Day performance these days!"

Lin Xiao looked normal, and obviously didn't take her staying in bed too seriously. He invited her to come over for breakfast.

Han Xixi secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

When I looked over, I saw the same old three dishes: steamed buns, steamed dumplings, and boiled eggs. She had a cup of soy milk and he had a cup of coffee.

They ate slowly.

"I just looked at the new song charts, and 'Nuan Nuan' has soared to third place. It's gaining popularity!" Lin Xiao said casually.

"Oh……"

Han Xixi reacted calmly.

Lin Xiao frowned: "Why don't you look happy even though your song has become popular?"

Han Xixi smiled and said, "No, it's just that... the heat is too intense and I'm afraid I can't handle it, so I'm a little scared!"

Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows. This answer surprised him a little.

"You are quite special!" he said.

"Huh? What does this mean?" Han Xixi was surprised and curious.

"Well, most people would be so happy when they encounter such an opportunity to become popular that they would be at a loss for words!"

Lin Xiao said seriously, "But you are very calm. You are not overwhelmed by the traffic. Instead, you remain sober and alert. This composure makes me think you are very special!"

Han Xixi listened carefully.

After chewing on his words carefully and making sure that he was praising me, I started laughing.

The topic was not continued.

After breakfast, it was already ten o'clock.

Lin Xiao simply cleaned the house, put Han Xixi's quilt on the balcony to dry, then changed his clothes and went out.

The door is closed.

The room suddenly became quiet, and the empty echo made Han Xixi feel a little lonely.

However, she turned her sight and saw the blanket and quilt she had covered herself with last night, now basking in the warm sunshine on the balcony. This very lifelike scene made her feel at ease again.

It was as if the sunlight was shining through the blanket and into her heart.

She immediately felt relaxed and happy.

I curled up on the sofa with my tablet in my arms, watching TV series comfortably by myself.

the other side.

After Lin Xiao went out, he did not drive, but chose to take the subway to the banquet.

The roommate who held a one-year-old party for his child was Zhang Peng.

Mr. and Mrs. Zhang came from a large local family and had extensive social connections, so the first birthday party was held in a very grand manner!
Lin Xiao originally thought that with so many guests, he would not attract any attention.

I planned to leave the gift money, eat a few bites and leave.

However, the two hosts had a burning look in their eyes since they saw him. They kept calling him "Mayor Lin" and then pulled him to the main table.

Lin Xiao was very surprised.

Of course he knew Zhang Peng's parents, and he often went home with Zhang Peng for dinner when he was in college.

But all along, both of them only regarded him as "their son's classmate" and their attitude was nothing special.

But compared with today, it is completely different.

The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the more strange it became.

I just couldn't understand it. I was just the deputy mayor of a remote town. I shouldn't be treated with such courtesy in the eyes of my classmates' parents, right?

He couldn't help but wonder if his red envelope of 1000 yuan was too little!
The first birthday party started with great enthusiasm.

Lin Xiao sat at the main table. He couldn't run away even if he wanted to, so he could only try to smile and deal with the whole process.

The banquet finally started after all the steps were completed.

Lin Xiao had just taken two bites when Zhang's father and mother suddenly changed the topic.

"Lin Xiao is successful in his career now, why haven't you found a partner yet? Do you want your uncle to introduce one to you?" Zhang Yuchun said enthusiastically.

"Thank you, uncle... I'm working in the countryside now, and it's either mud or sand every day. I'd better not bother with the city girl!" Lin Xiao declined.

"Oh, you can't say that!"

Zhang Yuchun said sternly, "You are a member of the provincial 'Young Talent Program'. If you go down, you will go up. You will definitely come back to work in the future. Then you will be promoted! There are many good girls willing to be young talents like you. Those who can't even endure this little hardship are not worthy of you!"

Lin Xiao smiled awkwardly.

Zhang Peng was sitting next to him. He came over with a stifled smile and said, "Mayor Lin, now you understand why my parents are so enthusiastic about you today, right?"

Lin Xiao was speechless, but he had to deal with it reluctantly.

At this time.

Zhang Peng's wife He Xiaoqian brought a young girl over, smiling warmly, like a pimp.

"Lin Xiao, this is my high school classmate Du Xue, now a teacher at the Ninghai Normal School Attached Primary School, both of them are from the local area... you two should get to know each other!"

He Xiaoqian said directly.

Lin Xiao looked at her, then looked at the girl next to him who was dressed quietly and wearing rimless glasses, and he immediately understood.

Having worked with Zhang Peng for so many years, He Xiaoqian is very familiar to him.

He is a straightforward person.

But he didn't expect that while Zhang's father and mother were still testing him secretly, He Xiaoqian brought the real person directly to him.

This put him in a passive position.

In front of so many people, he couldn't refuse their respect, so he stood up and shook hands with Du Xue.

"Hello there!"

"Hello……"

Du Xue also seems to be an introvert, and her voice is not much louder than a mosquito's hum.

Lin Xiao inexplicably recalled the first time he met Han Xixi. She was also so reserved and looked quite cute.

But after these days of getting along.

He found that the girl was becoming more and more bold. Sometimes she would suddenly say something that would leave him speechless.

"…Why did you suddenly think of her again?"

Lin Xiao shook his head helplessly.

In front of him, He Xiaoqian was still trying hard to pimp, talking about Du Xue's various advantages.

Lin Xiao smiled politely throughout and said nothing.

Seeing that the time is almost right.

"You two should add each other on WeChat. You are of the same age, so you will become familiar with each other through more interactions!" He Xiaoqian made the decision right away, as if to make good things happen in pairs.

Although Du Xue is introverted.

But she seemed very satisfied with Lin Xiao. Her almond-shaped eyes were full of love and she took out her cell phone shyly.

Lin Xiao did not move, but smiled and said: "Making friends is good, I like making friends, but this young lady is so beautiful... I'm afraid that if I add her on WeChat, my family will be jealous!"

When these words were spoken, He Xiaoqian, Zhang Peng and Du Xue were all shocked.

Zhang Peng was watching the fun from the side.

Hearing this, he immediately stood up and punched him without saying a word.

"You kid, you didn't even tell me when you got a girlfriend!" Zhang Peng complained.

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Your brain is not very smart, who can you blame? Didn't you see my girlfriend's wash cup when you came to my house last time?"

He Xiaoqian and Du Xue were staring at Lin Xiao.

Hearing this, two pairs of greedy eyes immediately turned to Zhang Peng, as if they wanted to eat him.

Zhang Peng had no way to defend himself: No, I am innocent!

"Didn't you say that the mouthwash cup belonged to your mother?"

"My mom uses pink? Do you have any brains!"

"you……"

Zhang Peng was completely speechless, and He Xiaoqian gave him a look that clearly said: Just wait for me!

Then he took Du Xue away in embarrassment.

Lin Xiao sat down again and let out a long sigh.

When he turned around, he met Zhang Peng's resentful eyes and breathed heavily.

He felt very open in his heart - instead of wasting time and effort dealing with a strange girl, it would be better for him to give it a try in bed. After all, it was all to satisfy his wife!
We are all brothers, why differentiate between you and me!
The banquet lasted until about one o'clock in the afternoon.

Under the warm hospitality of Zhang's father and mother, Lin Xiao was forced to get to know many of Zhang's relatives and drank a little too much.

I staggered to the entrance of the subway station.

When I looked up, I found an "Uncle Seabird" bakery next to it.

He suddenly remembered that Han Xixi had posted on WeChat Moments last time that she liked to eat chestnut cakes.

So before my brain could make a decision, my feet changed direction and I went in and bought a box.

When I got home, it was already past two in the afternoon.

He was afraid that Han Xixi was taking a nap, so he just used the key to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, a bright face suddenly appeared in front of me, with a sweet smile wrapped in fluffy pajamas.

"Are you back? Have you had some drinks?" Han Xixi asked.

"Well...how do you know?" Lin Xiao was surprised.

"You came back so late, I guess you've been drinking!"

Han Xixi was a little proud and waved at him, motioning him to go to the restaurant.

Lin Xiao followed with curiosity.

She came out of the kitchen with a bowl, three fingers raised on each side, and caution was written all over her body.

Putting the bowl down, she quickly touched her earlobes and blew away the hot air.

"Drink it, it's made for you!"

Han Xixi looked like he was trying to take credit for it.

Lin Xiao took a closer look and saw that the yellowish-brown soup was transparent and translucent, containing white fungus, lotus seeds and red dates.

"This is……"

"Sweet soup. Whenever my dad drinks too much, my mom will cook this for him. It helps to relieve the greasiness and nourish the stomach!"

Han Xixi introduced it very seriously, as if she was afraid that he would not believe in the efficacy of this soup.

Lin Xiao was stunned.

Look up at this playful and bright girl, then look down at this bowl of thick and crystal hot soup.

Something hard in my heart melted quietly.

"Han Xixi!" He didn't drink the soup, but spoke.

"Ok?"

Han Xixi sat opposite him, supporting his head with his hands on the table, waiting for his tasting and evaluation with an expectant look on his face.

Seeing his serious expression, I felt a little confused.

Lin Xiao laughed and breathed a sigh of relief, "If you weren't a star, you would definitely be a good wife!"

Han Xixi paused.

He frowned, pondering this sentence, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
