Chapter 322: Kindness
In the tea house, Liu Xiu and Lan Caiping had already arrived, watching Xue Sumei, who was radiant and high-spirited, carrying a bag and walking slowly over.
Waiting for her to sit at the table, Liu Xiu poured a cup of tea and put it in front of her, "Sumei, life is getting better and better now. How long has it been since we last met? This looks even more energetic. Tsk tsk, look at this clothes, this material, oh, look at this bag, it must have cost a lot of money, right?"
Meeting someone who knows the goods and talking about her heart, Xue Sumei couldn't close her mouth, "It was all bought by Taozi and my son-in-law. Neither of these two people lives a life of saving money. I said don't buy, don't buy, but they insisted on buying, look. Just my bag, I heard it was more than twenty thousand. Since then, I haven't asked how much it costs. They are willing to buy, so let them buy. I can't stop them, and it's annoying to ask. You say I'm so old, and they spend so much money on me, I feel heartache."
They are all people who have worked together for decades, who doesn't know who? Liu Xiu knows that her old friend is not showing off to her, mainly aiming at Lan Caiping on the side, but it must be said that this lethality is indeed quite large. Just the aftermath, she couldn't hold on anymore. The key is that it's really not as good as others. Her son's birthday party of twenty tables is useless, it can't compare to others' thirty-something houses. Stealing a glance at Lan Caiping, who maintained an elegant smile and didn't feel anything, she had to say she was convinced, and she still had to be the one with the ability to bear it.
"Oh, your family's Taozi married well, and your son-in-law is good to you, so you will enjoy happiness in the second half of your life. Now Taozi is pregnant, you will be a grandmother next year, and the good days are still behind."
Xue Sumei waved her hand modestly, "Your grandson is already one year old, we are still far behind."
Lan Caiping spoke, with a smile on her face, slightly flattering, "Sumei, it's just finding a good son-in-law, the second half of life is settled, our Taozi is still amazing. At first, she was blind-dating everywhere, and in the blink of an eye, she found one she liked. Although the marriage was a bit fast, this life is really prosperous. You have blessings, Sumei."
After speaking, seeing her old opponent just fake-laughing and nodding without answering, Lan Caiping sighed secretly in her heart, but on the surface, she was sincere, with a tone of going all out, "I'm sorry, Sumei, it was my fault last time. I went back and inquired, Taozi and her partner really didn't say it, it was Weiwei who was embarrassed. It was all my fault, I shouldn't have embarrassed you at Liu Xiu's grandson's birthday party. We are all good friends for a lifetime, fighting is fighting, but we can't really be angry. Oh, Xiu, don't blame me, I was really anxious at that time, our Weiwei was too pitiful."
Liu Xiu nodded with a smile, "How could I not know you two? That table is all our old friends, who doesn't know you, don't worry, I didn't care at all. It's good that you two enemies are well, it's been a lifetime, don't make any contradictions when you are old, right Sumei?"
Xue Sumei was even more difficult. People didn't know, but she knew. She also said her daughter was the kindest, but she, the mother, was also kind, but the victim had to bear the bitterness herself, all because of kindness. But what is said is always right, it is indeed an old friend who has been together for half a lifetime, fighting is fighting, but the serious feelings are still good. Even if there was no Lan Weiwei incident, even if she and Lan Caiping fought against each other, they could still be considered good sisters.
Now looking at the old friend opposite who was careful and had apologies in her eyes, Xue Sumei sighed, what else could she do, just like this.
"Yes, I didn't blame Caiping either, otherwise could I still help you throw eggs?" Xue Sumei shook her head and laughed.
Lan Caiping immediately laughed, "That's right, I said you couldn't really blame me, taste this pastry, I ate one before you came, the taste is not bad."
Two sentences, the previous discomfort had already passed, just deceiving herself, and the atmosphere at the table also improved.
Xue Sumei ate the pastry with a smile and asked, "How is your family's Weiwei? After such a big thing, is her body, mood, and all aspects okay?"
Lan Caiping laughed, "I insisted on breastfeeding, it's too right, this child's physique is extremely good. Not only is she fine, but she also adjusted her work and went to work in a fitness company solely funded by America."
Although it was a smile, it could also be seen that there was bitterness mixed in.
"That's not bad." Liu Xiu supported the scene, habitually wanting to ask about Yang Tao's situation, but reacted when the words reached her mouth, waved her hand and laughed, "I won't ask about Taozi, look at me, I just want to ask habitually."
Xue Sumei drank tea, shook her head and laughed, "Indeed no need to ask, they basically stay at home all day, in their words, they are waiting to die. Now this child, you say, the two are snuggling together all day, don't they get tired?"
Knowing that she was saying her daughter and son-in-law had a good relationship, married fast and matched fast, and was showing off to them. Liu Xiu didn't care, Lan Caiping had just made up, and couldn't control it, and it was indeed not good to say, after all, her good son-in-law dumped her daughter and caused her to have an ectopic pregnancy and heavy bleeding, no face to say, so the two of them fought together.
The three chatted, drank tea, ate pastries, and nuts. After talking for a while, Liu Xiu looked at Lan Caiping, "Today, besides our sisters gathering, there is really a good thing to tell you, Caiping."
Lan Caiping looked at Xue Sumei opposite, and asked suspiciously, "What serious good thing?"
"It's like this." Liu Xiu drank tea and straightened her body, "My daughter-in-law, hasn't she been without work since she got married? She is speculating in stocks in that big room. There is a woman who speculates in stocks with her, forty-something years old, her son is in elementary school, and her son is learning piano from a teacher in his spare time. The father of that piano teacher, he has a neighbor..."
"Oh..." Lan Caiping couldn't help but roll her eyes and interrupted, "I said Xiu, what exactly do you want to say? You made me dizzy, it's too roundabout, I didn't understand at all."
"Too simple, I understood." Xue Sumei laughed, "It's your daughter-in-law's, friend's, son's piano teacher's, father's neighbor, right?"
"Right, right, right." Liu Xiu laughed, "Sumei's brain is really easy to use, smart."
Xue Sumei waved her hand, modestly, "This is not easy to use or not, it's all pediatrics, too simple."
"I'll continue." Liu Xiu looked at Lan Caiping, "That neighbor has a son, who is single." Liu Xiu looked at Lan Caiping, "Finally finished."
Lan Caiping said helplessly, "Oh, look at you circling, are you introducing a partner to our Weiwei?"
Liu Xiu nodded with a smile, "Don't care if I circle or not, the key is, this child's conditions are too good, he has been an excellent student from childhood to adulthood, Weiwei is single, so I was anxious to tell you, hurry up and make an appointment."
Xue Sumei said, "Then I will ask for Caiping, what are his conditions, what does he do?"
"Right, what is the good condition? That excellent student from childhood to adulthood, how is he excellent now?"
"Bank's, is that... financial advisor."
Lan Caiping was moved, "This job is really good, I tell you, if there is a financial advisor in the family, it must be rich. Now you can't put money in the bank, it depreciates. If you have money to buy a house, you can't buy it because of restrictions. So there is no way, I put the money in the stock market. It made me angry, thirty thousand, now only two thousand left, you say what to do? Still this financial advisor is good, basically stable appreciation."
Xue Sumei waved her hand, looking disgusted, "No, this is introducing a partner, what are you saying those things for?"
"Oh, right, right, right, that Xiu, how old is he?"
"Seems to be about the same age as Taozi and Weiwei, ask them yourself for details." Liu Xiu laughed, "I heard that young man is especially handsome, one meter eight big guy, returned from studying in Germany, a returnee. The most critical thing is, do you know how much his annual income is?"
Lan Caiping asked along, "How much?" She likes rich sons-in-law, and her daughter also likes rich boyfriends. Only if there is no shortage of money can they live well. She is very pleased that the partners her daughter has dated over the years have not been poor.
"Seven digits!"
Looking at Lan Caiping who was counting her fingers with "one, ten, hundred, thousand", Xue Sumei shook her head, unable to understand how this IQ could fight with her for so many years, "No need to count, one million."
"Oh, it's really one million, so much money?"
Liu Xiu nodded with a smile, "There are many rules in rich families, and there is a lot of right and wrong. Our small households have different values from them, and we can't handle the socializing, tired to death. This child is not like that, he has an ordinary background, and he relies entirely on his own efforts to get to where he is today. He should be considered a young talent now, right? Not much money, but definitely not little, it's no problem to live well, where can you find such conditions, right?"
"Xiu, you said it too well, like a perfect person." Lan Caiping asked strangely, "With his conditions, how can he still be single now? Is there any problem?"
"Impossible, it's just that he is too picky. He, his conditions are too good, there are too few girls who can match him, and young people are all like that, love and love, always talking about feelings, you say we didn't have these things back then, aren't they all introduced and felt good and then together? Haven't they been quite good for so many years?"
After sighing, Liu Xiu continued, "I'm not praising you, Caiping, with our Weiwei's conditions, he really can't pick. Have looks, have looks, have figure, have figure, work is also not bad, although the gap is a bit big, but we are girls, we can match. It's just this feeling that is a bit hard to say, but meeting and chatting, who can say what will happen, do you think?"
Xue Sumei nodded, it's not how good Lan Weiwei's conditions are, just forget it like that. What she recognized was this "feeling". Her own daughter Yang Tao wasn't like that, always talking about feelings all day. She didn't take it seriously before, but now she thinks this feeling is really important, of course, it's also because she met a good person, just like Yang Tao's feeling came, and she registered for marriage in just over ten days, married and pregnant in less than two months, too fast. As for the annual income of one million, forget it, it's not as much as her precious son-in-law earns lying at home, that is, if it really becomes, Lan Caiping is also a loser.
Lan Caiping nodded, she thought this condition was quite good, quite matching her daughter...
Liu Xiu took a slip of paper from the bag behind her, "The phone number of his father Li Zhaoxian is on this slip of paper. This old man was the director of the Personnel Bureau before, and he was very popular back then. Now he is not bad, and he still has some connections from before. The most important thing is that his mother died, marrying our daughter over, no need to suffer the mother-in-law's anger. Caiping, if you are interested, call and make an appointment. This child is usually very busy with work, only has time for blind dates on Saturday and Sunday, first contact his father, it's not bad to meet and chat."
"Although it mainly depends on fate, I think this idea is good, and the success rate is also higher, right?" Lan Caiping nodded, pondered, "Or... I'll make a call and ask now? I'll go and chat with his father first?"
Liu Xiu and Xue Sumei nodded together, recognizing this idea.
Thinking and doing, Lan Caiping dialed the phone number on the slip of paper, "Hello? Hello? Is this Mr. Li Zhaoxian?"
After a communication, they made an appointment for the children to meet on Saturday, and also made an appointment for the two of them to meet tomorrow first, communicate and communicate each other's situation, so that it would be easier to tell their own children later, first have a detailed understanding.
Lan Caiping hung up the phone and looked at the two good sisters, "It's settled, I'll meet him tomorrow first."
Liu Xiu nodded, "Okay, I think there is hope this time, you talk to people well."
"I know, don't worry, if it really becomes, I will invite you to have a good meal."
"If it doesn't become, you won't invite me? Oh, my good intention..."
"If it doesn't become, I must invite you. You think of our Weiwei with such a good thing, you definitely can't treat you, an old friend, badly. It's just that I'm a bit embarrassed to see people... or... or..." Lan Caiping thought for a while, and said hesitantly, "Or... will you two accompany me to see?"
Liu Xiu waved her hand and shook her head, "I won't go with you, I have already agreed with my daughter-in-law tomorrow to take the child out for a stroll. That Sumei, you go with her, you can talk, and you can go over to help chat well."
"Then what is it for me to follow over? Don't go, don't go." Xue Sumei shook her head repeatedly.
"Oh, Sumei, just accompany me to see." Lan Caiping begged, "That Weiwei is also watched by you growing up, she is still a good friend with your family's Taozi. Now Taozi has found such a good man, and is filial to you, I am envious and jealous. We have been sisters for so many years, you can't just watch. Usually we fight, but this big thing can't be delayed, you help me, Sumei, count on me begging you."
This talk was comfortable, Xue Sumei couldn't close her mouth with a smile, "Then accompany you to see?"
"Oh, that's really thank you, Sumei. Don't worry, no matter if it becomes or not, after the two children meet, I will invite you two to have a big meal."
"Then you are really going tomorrow?" After listening to her mother finish speaking, Yang Tao asked while eating.
"I have already agreed, can I not go?" Xue Sumei sighed, "You say what kind of thing Weiwei did, I also have no face, I couldn't help but forgive her when she apologized to me, I am really cheap..."
Su Qing comforted her aunt, "What are you talking about, Auntie, that Auntie Lan doesn't know about Weiwei's matter either. If she knew, I guess she would also sincerely apologize to you."
"Su Qing, you don't know, I scolded Taozi before, saying she was kind, and she suffered grievances herself. Today I found out, our mother and daughter are the same, sigh..."
"Mom, kindness is good, I was attracted by Taozi's pure little eyes." Wang Yan laughed, "And Taozi participated in her best friend's wedding before, and went with that Lan Weiwei. They didn't break up, and they still called and chatted from time to time. You don't have to have any burden, it doesn't matter, if you really want to say it, I have to thank others. Otherwise, how could I know such an excellent woman as Taozi, let alone get married now and have children next year. Just socialize steadily, it's okay."
Before Guoran's birthday, Yang Tao's chubby good friend, Li Hongli, still married her hundredth blind date as in the original plot, and found Yang Tao and Lan Weiwei to go together. Although Yang Tao couldn't lie on a bed like the original plot because of pregnancy, each thinking about their own thoughts, Lan Weiwei still apologized and repented to Yang Tao pitifully. Yang Tao was not good at refusing, so it was like that. Now the relationship is still okay, really nothing to chat about.
Wang Yan didn't care about these at all. He only said it once during the Lan Weiwei incident, and never mentioned it again since then. Whether there is contact with Lan Weiwei is not important, it has no influence on their life, so let it be, he wouldn't even mention it. But according to his observation, Yang Tao was just coping. Just like Jiao Yang said, their relationship with Lan Weiwei was not far or near, just like that.
"That's what I said, but I can't help but mutter in my heart." Xue Sumei said, "Hey, you say, if Lan Weiwei really becomes with that person, what if I tell them about Lan Weiwei's past?"
Duan Xifeng shook his head and laughed, "You, you are just saying it, you can't do this. Where did Taozi's kindness come from? Isn't it the excellent moral character inherited from you?"
"I am indeed saying it, now it seems that this kindness is not necessarily an excellent moral character, it is really who suffers who knows."
Yang Tao laughed, "Alright, Mom, eat quickly, how long has this matter passed, don't keep thinking about it. Let's live our own life well, don't think about useless things."
"Oh, forget it, it can only be like this, who let us not be cruel, just the fate of being bullied." Xue Sumei sighed again, "Don't say it, don't say it, eat, eat, taste how my craftsmanship is today. I think it might not be very good, this cooking, it also depends on the mood, I was influenced by that Lan Caiping today, maybe I didn't play it out."
Wang Yan thoughtfully flattered, "How could it be, Mom, you are too modest, with your craftsmanship, whatever you do is a rare delicacy, not inferior to the master in the hotel, very delicious."
"Oh, I was a beat slow, the words to my mouth were snatched by you." Duan Xifeng teased, enlivening the atmosphere.
Xue Sumei laughed happily, "You two, one mouth is better than the other."
The family laughed and ate, relieving the bad mood of the head of the family, daily harmony, warmth... ===== CHAPTER 323 =====
