Beginning and ignorance

When Jiang Dongwei came, he relied on it.The reason was the same as Su Na's natural prediction - it was for marriage.He has a clear attitude, this time he wants to drag Han Xun back to the United States, nothing else, the formalities have to be completed.

Han Xun flipped through the calendar and pointed to a date on it: "We have to pass this day first, and then we can talk about it."

Jiang Dongwei looked down at that day, feeling a little annoyed.

It was Jiang Qinmao's birthday, only half a month away.

With half his life's achievements and status, Jiang Qinmao's birthday must be a big day, and there are countless people who come to "connect with each other" on this day, breaking the threshold.He is also happy to make his birthday a social event, and holds a birthday banquet at a designated place every year.On this day, apart from Jiang Xichen's special social status, he didn't have to be present, the other two children had to show up.

This was the case in previous years, but this year, they will be even more present.

However, since the relationship was established, the two of them have never appeared in front of the old man together except for the New Year. This time, going back to celebrate their birthday is basically accepting the final judgment of the old man.Whether you can get consent or not is up to you.

"Okay, let's deal with this day first." Jiang Dongwei let out a sigh of relief, but his attitude was still firm, "But whether he agrees or not, you have to go back and marry me."

Seeing his habitual determination and unreasonableness, Han Xun was a little funny, so he smiled: "When did you like getting married so much?"

"I don't like it, but it's necessary." Jiang Dongwei glanced over, without the slightest joking, and said, "Our rights and interests should be protected to the greatest extent. Marriage is the best way."

Han Xun listened, but did not reply.He understood that Jiang Dongwei was trying to protect his rights in the Jiang family.In fact, his position in the Jiang family group has always been a bit embarrassing.It seems to be in an important position, but in fact there are no independent shares under its name, and they are basically held jointly with Jiang Dongwei.

This time, he got out of the work of the group, and the affairs were handed over, but the rights and interests that should be taken away were still unclear.Since I can't figure it out, the best way is not to take it away and keep it in its original state.And a marriage relationship is an easy way to maintain this state.

It is impossible for Jiang Dongwei to think about him like this, not to be moved.To be too moved and hypocritical.After all, he didn't make any comments on the proposal, nodded and agreed.

"Okay, that's it."

For the next week, Han Xun was busy picking tea.The tea picking time varies from mountain to mountain, and even from tea garden to tea garden.He has always been rigorous and diligent in doing things, and will follow up on things that he can personally do.After picking this piece, he will move to the next mountain.

When the tea picking was basically finished, Han Xun's scope of activities shifted from the tea mountain to the tea factory.

Tea making is a more exhausting job. As far as green tea is concerned, drying, drying, shaking, sieving, copying, rolling, wrapping, roasting, and packaging, each process is technical work, which requires patience. Experience requires guarding day and night.

Han Xun had a general understanding of these processes last year, but the season was not suitable at that time, and he could not catch up with the whole process.This time, he intends to participate in every link and experience all the processes in person.

At this time, Jiang Dongwei had been by his side for more than a week. Compared with his previous itinerary, this was simply his super long vacation. He euphemistically called it "pre-marriage vacation".Han Xun had nothing to do with him, so he had to let him follow in and out, so he became an extra coolie.

Half a month later, the first batch of tea entered the packaging process. Han Xun handed over the work at hand to A Xu, and returned to Beijing with Jiang Dongwei.

The itinerary was communicated directly with Lin Yi, so Lin Yi arranged for the pick-up car that day.

Without a doubt, they were brought back to the mansion in the suburbs of Beijing.

Lin Yi stood in front of the door as usual, waiting for them.A few months passed, and her belly was already showing. She didn't wear any makeup, her face was a bit pale, but her expression was extraordinarily radiant.Xu is pregnant with a child, because her heart is always soft.

She looked in a good mood, whispered to the aunt beside her, "Let's have dinner", and smiled at the two children, "It's finally here, I've been waiting for you for a long time, come in quickly."

Jiang Dongwei nodded at her, and politely called "Little Mom". Although it was not cold, it was much better than before.Lin Yi was still happy when she heard that, and smiled.

"Why, did Xiaochen come back too?" Han Xun habitually observed everyone in the family carefully, and asked based on Lin Yi's state.

Sure enough, Lin Yi gave a positive look, but she didn't seem very happy about it, but worried: "Yes, it's very rare, this time he took the initiative to come back to have dinner with the old man... and Xiao Wu."

Hearing this, Jiang Dongwei and Han Xun looked at each other in surprise.

Since the old man and his wife moved back to this mansion, Xie Wu would not come over for nothing.After all, the two masters here, one is his stepfather and father-in-law, and the other is his mother and mother-in-law. This relationship sounds scary enough, and less confrontation is an important guarantee to reduce conflicts.

Come to the door today, there must be something.

Han Xun lowered his voice, and asked Lin Yi again: "Does Xiaochen have any plans?"

Lin Yi shook her head: "I don't know...You little brother, how can I be sure. But your father, seeing them coming together, seems to understand what they are going to do."

Han Xun and Jiang Dongwei looked at each other again, and read the same premonition from each other's eyes - this young master and his movie star partner may not have come back to propose marriage.It seems that the old man is going to have an unforgettable birthday this time.

"By the way," Lin Yi suddenly slowed down, and unconsciously glanced into the house, "Privately, the old man hopes that the three of you brothers can attend tomorrow's birthday banquet. This time, all the media have been declined, and it is more low-key than in previous years. , Xiaochen is here, there is no problem."

The implication was, "You brothers persuade the young master", Han Xun understood this, nodded slightly, but did not reply.

After entering the door, they went straight to the restaurant.

When they got there, they saw that the old man, Jiang Xichen, and Xie Wu had already served the table.The three of them sat facing each other, and there was no sign of communication, but it was not too awkward.Hearing the commotion here, both Jiang Xichen and Xie Wu stood up to welcome the two elder brothers to their seats.

The restaurant became lively for a while, several young people greeted each other, and when the dishes were served, the excitement subsided again.

After half the meal, no one spoke, and they were all waiting for the old man to speak.

Jiang Qinmao also knew this, he ate [-]% full, looked at Lin Yi, and asked softly: "Do you want to go upstairs first?"

This is to guard against a big scene, Lin Yi looked up at the three children, looked helpless, nodded and retreated.Jiang Qinmao watched his wife go upstairs, then put down the bowls and chopsticks, and looked around the four people at the table. There was no emotion on their faces, only the sternness and seriousness they were used to since childhood.

His gaze was fixed on Jiang Dongwei first: "I heard that you have been back to China for more than half a month?"

Jiang Dongwei has always hated being asked about the itinerary, especially the private itinerary. He thought it was an invasion of privacy, even if the other party was his father.But he didn't show any displeasure at the moment, and replied almost cautiously: "Yes."

Jiang Qinmao: "On vacation?"

Jiang Dongwei: "It is."

Jiang Qinmao snorted softly: "It's time for you to take a vacation, but now is not a good time. After all, Xiaoyue is an outsider, so don't leave everything to others. At that time, it will be difficult to say whether it is yours or not."

Jiang Dongwei replied: "I understand, I will pay attention to propriety."

Jiang Qinmao seemed very satisfied with his obedient attitude, and the question came to an end here.

Then, those eyes looked at Jiang Hanxun again, and stayed for two seconds, as if they had something to say, but after thinking for a while, they slid their eyes, and swept the other three with almost sharp eyes, and tapped on the table with their fingers: " Let’s be honest, you four, what are you asking for this time?”

All four of them were stunned for a moment, his voice was neither high nor low, neither like nor dislike, but when it fell into the ears, it made people think and feel uneasy.For a moment, they were all at a loss.

"dad……"

"Uncle Jiang..."

After a while, Jiang Dongwei and Xie Wu spoke at the same time.

Aware of the dramatic situation, the two glanced at each other, while Jiang Qinmao glanced left and right, without making a sound, whoever spoke first, followed by them.

Xie Wu made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Dongwei, and enlivened the atmosphere by the way, saying: "The old and the young are orderly."

Jiang Dongwei is a full-fledged double-faced man, except for Han Xun, he pulls his strength in front of everyone, with a cold look, he completely ignores Xie Wu's stalk, and looks directly at Jiang Qinmao, holding his momentum.

"Dad, I want to go back to the United States with Han Xun to get married." In one sentence, the words were clear and loud.

Jiang Qinmao listened, snorted coldly, looked at Xie Wu: "What about you?"

"He wants to marry me." Before Xie Wu could speak, Jiang Xichen quickly interrupted.

Jiang Qinmao looked at them indifferently with a sullen face, and remained silent for a long time.The four of them were sitting there, as if they were waiting for a trial of fate. The sound of the clock on the wall of the dining room was very clear, which made people feel inexplicably uneasy.

After a while, the old man said: "You four, is this how you give me birthday presents?"

Jiang Xichen replied first: "This is not the first time I mentioned it, this is the last time."

"What?" The old man stared at him intently, "It means to inform me, not to ask for permission?"

Jiang Xichen is used to being fearless in this family, and when he is in good times, he is well-behaved and kind to everyone, making others love him.It's cold, like it's from some depth, deep underground, or maybe, deep in the ocean.In short, he has no fear of the world.

He replied: "Yes."

Jiang Qinmao weakened most of his self-cultivation and concentration when facing his sons at that point, and his expressionless face showed anger when he was hit by his word all at once.There was a red wine glass in front of him, and he threw it at the opposite side casually.

The quality of the cup was so strong that it didn't break when it fell to the saucer and bounced to the tablecloth.

"Get lost." Jiang Qinmao pointed to the door.

Jiang Xichen's temperament was also extremely high, after listening, he really pulled Xie Wu up and was about to leave.But Xie Wu pulled her back, turned her head, and saw Xie Wu's calm and soothing eyes.The man held his wrist and gently pulled the chair up, as if to say "Good boy, sit down".

He sat down involuntarily.

"It's very uncomfortable to be separated from the person closest to me, I understand." Xie Wu said lightly, and when he said this, he glanced upstairs, with a gentle and helpless expression, "I and My mom, too. Before, and even now, I couldn't forgive her for leaving, but I'm grateful for her accepting me."

"It's not because I need to be recognized or blessed by her so much, it's just that she can accept me, and I suddenly feel sure and feel that she loves me... Uncle Jiang, Xiaochen has had a difficult life since childhood, not only because of He once lost his mother, also because he may never feel that you love him."

"But let me make an optimistic guess. In fact, you love him, right?"

After he finished speaking, he quietly looked directly at Jiang Qinmao.

The latter's tense face slowly relaxed over a period of time, he opened his mouth, and his originally tightly closed teeth were also relaxed, making him look a little more accommodating.He sighed twice from his nasal cavity, his tone was not as resisting and cold as before.

He said, "Jiang Xichen, let me think about it."

Jiang Xichen nodded, holding Xie Wu tightly with his right hand, and after some effort, he managed to say "um".

Jiang Qinmao looked at him with piercing eyes for a while.He has an idea of ​​the youngest son's mental state, but just as Xie Wu accused him, he never expressed his knowledge and concern. In addition, the father and son have not been together for a long time. Over time, his concern lost his outlet, so he became silent. The normal state of instinctive laziness.

He thought for a while, and said softly, "Go to the guest room and have a look, don't be confused."

There is a resident psychologist in the guest room, which is the most specific concern he can express at the moment.Xie Wu agreed with this suggestion very much, and immediately led Jiang Xichen away.

Jiang Qinmao looked at their backs, watched them leave the restaurant, and stood up himself, as if he was about to leave the table.

At this time, Jiang Dongwei, who had been left alone for a long time, was heartbroken and got up, wanting to ask for an attitude towards himself: "Dad, we..."

"Can't you wait for a younger brother to be born? What kind of man, what patience? You bastard!" Jiang Qinmao didn't wait for him to finish speaking, and immediately yelled at him, blocking Jiang Dongwei back.

The old man was not satisfied with this, and his anger turned into a low growl: "You two, get out of the guest room too!"
