Chapter 208: Jiaxiao's Love

He Jiaxiao really followed Chen Meng back to Hengyue City. On the third day after returning, I received a call from Huang Weiwei, saying that Chen Meng was in love, and the object was actually Secretary He's son, who was five years younger than her, a little boy who had just come from the north.

Huang Weiwei breathed a sigh of relief on the phone, as if Chen Meng's marriage was more important than her own. Chen Meng had a heart, and she felt like a stone pressing on her heart had been put down. She happily asked me to find time to return to Hengyue City, and the four of us would have a meal together and get to know each other.

I laughed in my heart. He Jiaxiao and Chen Meng, these two enemies, had almost no contact from the first day they met to the encounter in Suxi Township. Even apart from He Jiaxiao praising Chen Meng's figure, I didn't see him mention it again. Just in front of a stone coffin, the two of them made a bet and bet out a legendary romance.

My aunt Wanru is a woman with beautiful bones, and He Jiaxiao is the flesh of her heart. Would she let Jiaxiao love a woman five years older than her son? Although her father is the Municipal Committee Secretary, for a Deputy Secretary in a high position, the title of Secretary is not out of reach, far from being as snobbish as ordinary people imagine. Moreover, Lao He, a man who has been through many battles, dared to come to the south alone from the north where snow was flying, naturally has his own extraordinary features.

Sure enough, He Jiaxiao's love ignited a war at home.

Chen Meng knocked on Aunt Wanru's door on a sunny afternoon. Looking at a clean and beautiful girl standing outside the door with a smile, Aunt Wanru was taken aback, thinking it was a guest looking for Secretary He, and shouted into the house without thinking: "Lao He, someone is looking for you."

Chen Meng interrupted Aunt Wanru's shouting with a smile, and said softly and shyly: "Auntie, I'm here to find Jiaxiao."

"You are looking for Jiaxiao?" Aunt Wanru was even more confused. Her son came to Hengyue City from Zhangjiakou and only stayed at home for one night before going to the countryside with me. He had been back for less than a week, so how could a girl come to the door?

Aunt Wanru felt a fire rise in her heart. She was a very cultivated woman. She would not show her feelings in front of a stranger. She smiled apologetically at Chen Meng and turned to go upstairs. She wanted to find her son and ask what was going on.

Aunt Wanru's shouting brought Sister Xiao Mei. She saw Chen Meng at a glance, walked over in surprise, and was busy finding slippers for her. Chen Meng politely refused the invitation to enter the house and asked Sister Xiao Mei: "Is Jiaxiao not at home?"

Sister Xiao Mei looked upstairs and whispered: "He is at home, he came back late last night and hasn't gotten up yet."

Chen Meng smiled and said to Sister Xiao Mei: "Then I'll go back first, and when he gets up, ask him to call me."

After finishing, she turned and went down the steps, walking gracefully.

After Chen Meng left, Aunt Wanru called Sister Xiao Mei over and asked: "Xiao Mei, do you know this girl?"

Sister Xiao Mei said strangely: "I know, she is the daughter of Municipal Committee Secretary Chen, Chen Meng, a reporter."

Aunt Wanru said "Oh," and fell onto the sofa. With a woman's intuition, she knew that this girl must have a situation with her son. At first glance, this girl was beautiful and polite, a child from a family that knew books and etiquette. A woman's sixth sense told her that this girl was definitely older than her son! For her son to find someone older than himself to be his wife, in Aunt Wanru's subconscious, it was absolutely impossible and absolutely intolerable.

He Jiaxiao rubbed his eyes and came down from upstairs, looking at his mother who was unhappy on the sofa, and winked at Sister Xiao Mei, signaling her to come over and talk.

Sister Xiao Mei hesitated and just wanted to move her steps when Aunt Wanru gave a soft drink, scaring her as if she had been fixed, not daring to move at all.

"Jiaxiao, come here, I have something to ask you." Aunt Wanru called her son softly, patted the sofa cushion beside her and said: "Come and sit with mom."

He Jiaxiao sat down, hugged his mother's waist, and acted like a spoiled child: "Mom, I want to sleep for a while."

"You are not allowed to sleep anymore. You have slept for a whole day!" Aunt Wanru flatly rejected her son's request and tentatively asked: "Jiaxiao, you have been back for a few days, and I haven't asked you, why did you come back? Are you not used to living with your brother Chen Feng?"

"Used to it, very used to it. According to your instructions, I study and review every day, preparing to take a postgraduate entrance exam to play according to your requirements." He Jiaxiao comforted his mother with a smile.

"I'm asking you why you came back?" Aunt Wanru calmed down, not slow or fast.

"I missed you. I missed you, so I came back." He Jiaxiao changed his posture, hugged his mother's neck with both hands, and made a swing-like gesture.

"How old are you, and you are still hanging on mom's neck." Aunt Wanru smiled and opened his hand: "When are you going again?"

"Not going anymore." He Jiaxiao answered very crisply, picked up an apple from the coffee table and took a bite.

"Why not going?" Aunt Wanru asked in surprise.

"Don't want to go. Reviewing at home is the same, and there is Sister Xiao Mei and mom's care, why go? Just washing clothes is enough to suffer. Originally, there was a laundry room at school, but in this township, there are only two hands." He Jiaxiao complained, stretched out a pair of hands to show his mother, and said: "Mom, look, two layers of skin have been peeled off."

"It's okay not to go, just review honestly at home, don't have other thoughts." Aunt Wanru reached out and touched her son's hair, saying with infinite love: "Jiaxiao, if you don't take a postgraduate exam, what will you use to compete with others in the future?"

He Jiaxiao answered cleverly: "I know, mom, don't worry."

"It seems you don't let me worry." Aunt Wanru sighed: "What is the matter with Secretary Chen's daughter looking for you?"

"You mean Chen Meng." He Jiaxiao laughed, looking very happy: "Mom, have you seen her?"

"Seen her."

"How is it?" He Jiaxiao said triumphantly: "Beautiful, right!"

Aunt Wanru said "Hmm" and said: "How old is she?"

"Not very old."

"How old is not very old?"

"Just a little bit older than me." He Jiaxiao smelled gunpowder in his mother's tone and got up to leave: "Mom, I'm going to wash my face."

"Don't wash yet, you've been sitting for so long, and you're in a hurry for these few minutes. Tell me clearly, what's going on with you two?"

"Nothing." He Jiaxiao answered lightly: "People in the same courtyard, seeing each other when looking up, just friends."

"Jiaxiao, you know mom's mind." Aunt Wanru said earnestly: "Our Lao He family cannot find an older daughter-in-law."

He Jiaxiao smiled awkwardly: "Mom, where did you think, there is no such thing."

After finishing, he went upstairs and refused to come down again.

Aunt Wanru understood that things were definitely not as light as her son said. She felt like something was blocked in her heart, suffocating and uncomfortable. She called Sister Xiao Mei to pour a glass of water to drink, got up and walked outside, and was immediately surrounded by the warm afternoon sun. Her nose was itchy, and she sneezed comfortably.

She stood in the sun with her eyes narrowed, letting the warm sun touch her body. Such sunshine could no longer be seen in the hometown in the north. At this time in the north, it was already a world of flying snow and silver. She couldn't help but miss the north. Her nose seemed to smell the taste of hometown dumplings. Her nose was sour, and she almost shed tears.

Sister Xiao Mei followed out, standing behind her, holding a cloak in her hand. This cloak was something Aunt Wanru brought from her hometown, following her north and south, galloping thousands of miles, and had been in the limelight in many social occasions.

Although the autumn sun was very warm, it no longer had the vigor of summer. The sunlight shot down lazily, and the place that was blocked revealed a chill.

"Xiao Mei, how many years have you worked in Secretary He's house?" Aunt Wanru asked with concern.

"Three years." Sister Xiao Mei answered timidly. The hostess in front of her seemed to have a hostility from the first day she returned home, an inexplicable hostility, which made her feel a pair of eyes staring at her behind her back many times.

"Not short." Aunt Wanru looked at Sister Xiao Mei and said: "What other people are in the family?"

"Parents are both there. My husband's parents are also there, two children, the older one is in the third grade, and the younger one is going to kindergarten next year." Sister Xiao Mei put the cloak on Aunt Wanru and carefully smoothed out a small wrinkle.

"Where does your husband work?"

"Engaged in construction, working on the construction site all year round."

Aunt Wanru said "Oh," reached out and touched her hair, turned around and said to Sister Xiao Mei: "Let's go out for a walk."

Sister Xiao Mei didn't dare to refuse, so she had to follow her, step by step.

The hostess asked about her family situation for the first time, and she was not surprised at all, just as when she went out to night school for the first time at night, the hostess was interested in her reading night school. That time, the hostess knew that her reading night school was Secretary He's idea, and since then, she had never asked her anything.

The two came out of the family compound and walked slowly along a tree-lined path that covered the sky and the sun. When they were about to reach the gate of Lihu Park, Aunt Wanru stopped, beckoned Sister Xiao Mei to come over and said: "You go and buy two tickets, let's go for a walk in the park."

Sister Xiao Mei took out the entry and exit permit of the Municipal Committee family compound and said: "We have this, don't need to buy tickets."

Aunt Wanru smiled shallowly, turned and walked back, saying: "Entering a park, don't engage in any privileges. Forget it, don't go, go home."

After walking a few steps, she suddenly asked Sister Xiao Mei: "Do you think Jiaxiao is in love with Secretary Chen's daughter?"

Sister Xiao Mei was speechless, hesitating for a long time and not daring to answer.

"Yes is yes, no is no. Is it so difficult for you to give an opinion?" Aunt Wanru glanced at Sister Xiao Mei unhappily.

"I can't see it." Sister Xiao Mei squeezed out a sentence for a long time, not daring to look at the hostess's face, and followed her with her head down.

"Jiaxiao, this child, seems to have become a different person since coming to Hengyue City." Aunt Wanru shook her head irritably: "You remember, if this girl comes to find Jiaxiao in the future, just say he is not at home and has gone traveling."

"They have phones." Sister Xiao Mei whispered: "I'm afraid it can't be hidden."

"You don't care, other things, I will arrange." Aunt Wanru quickened her pace and entered the family compound in the salute of the sentry at the door.

I called Jiaxiao and asked him to come over to see the coffin opening, but it was Aunt Wanru who answered the phone. She told me on the phone: "Chen Feng, Jiaxiao studied marketing, and the postgraduate exam he took was administrative management, which has nothing to do with archaeology, so don't call him."

After hanging up the phone, I was depressed! ===== CHAPTER 209 =====
