When A Snail Falls in Love

Beijing in the autumn, the sky is clear and clear, the sun is dry and warm, it is a rare and pleasant season of the year.

When Ji Bai and Xu Xu got off the plane, there were already a few cars waiting on the apron: home, grandpa's house, Shu Hang, and a few little smiles standing beside the car.

This posture made Xu Xu glance at Ji Bai, who had always been low-key, but today he encouraged the crowds, so naturally he did it intentionally.

She listened to his arrangement.

Ji Bai wore a black trench coat she bought today, with a clean cut and clean colors, which made him more tall and slender, and the whole person showed a handsome and refreshing taste. As if he could perceive Xu Xu's thoughts, he silently clenched her little hand and smiled toward everyone.

After a few hugs with Ji Bai, Shu Hang saw Xu Xu and all made a nod and a flattering smile: "Sister-in-law! You're here! The imperial capital is prosperous!" "Come and don't go back, everyone. I miss you all!"

Xu Xu couldn't get along with these lip-smooth tongues, only a shy smile. Ji Bai hugged her waist and knocked on Shu Hang's car cover: "We'll go to grandpa's house first, and we'll meet you in two days."

"Cheng Na. Sister-in-law, what do you want to eat and play, make a list, a few brothers go all the way and go, and the stars in the sky are also taken off for you..."

Xu Xu Renjun couldn't help but Ji Bai also smiled: "It's not your turn to pick stars for her, let's go!"

The car was running on the highway and soon arrived at grandpa's house.

This is a secluded courtyard in the city, covered by indus, and the corridor is quiet and deep. Ji Bai carried the gift and took Xu Xu's hand straight into it. The guard and babysitter are acquaintances who have spent many years. When they saw him, they laughed: "Ji Bai is back? Is this a girlfriend?"

Ji Bai nodded with a smile, asked Xu Xu to call each other, and then asked, "How about Grandpa?"

"The commander woke up at noon and basked in the backyard, waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Xu and Ji Bai stepped into the backyard and saw an old man sitting in a chair under the tree. The sun enveloped him. He was wearing a very ordinary blue shirt and loose cotton pants. He looked quiet and kind.

Ji Bai walked over, leaned down, and said softly, "Grandpa, I will take Xu Xu back to see you."

The old man was very happy to see him: "Just come back..." He slowly looked up to Xu Xu.

Xu Xu also looked at him. The old man is more than 80 years old, but he is as tall and strong as Ji Bai. On the wrinkled face, a handsome outline similar to Ji Bai was faintly visible. This made Xu Xu feel warm and intimate in his heart, silently thinking: If Ji Bai is old, it will look like this, and it is also very charming.

Ji Bai turned his head to look at Xu Xu: "Call Grandpa."

Xu Xu: "Grandpa is good."

Grandpa nodded very gently, and asked Xu Xu about her age, schooling, and family. When she heard that her father was a professor, she said to Ji Bai, "Shuxiangmendi, go back and let your brother go to Linshi instead of visiting me. The gift must not be lost." Seeing Grandpa's attitude like this, Ji Bai had nothing to worry about and nodded with smiles. Xu Xu's mood gradually overflowed.

After a while, Grandpa smiled again and asked, "Little girl, what do you think about our third kid?"

Xu Xuluo thought about it and answered: "All."

Ji Bai smiled aside, and Grandpa smiled when he froze.

What Xu Xu said was what he said in his heart. When he laughed at them, he explained further: "I like him to be firm-minded, open-minded, and calm, not to change his ideals because of worldly vision, but to maintain a heart in front of anything. The gentleman is open , High character. He is a very suitable life partner in my heart."

Ji Bai has been in a good mood since he came out from grandpa's house. Hugging Xu Xu's shoulders and looking at the vast Beijing city under the twilight, I felt calm and comfortable.

For the first time Xu Xu met his parents, although he was almost at the bottom of his heart, he couldn't help but ask: "Your grandpa...I have a good impression on me?"

Ji Bai looked at her, and there was a scene in his mind where he had just talked with grandpa alone.

The grandson and grandson haven't seen each other for a few days, and they have something to say. Xu Xu naturally understood that after a while, he quit and went to rest in the lobby.

The grandson and grandson spoke for a while, and they talked to Xu Xu again. Grandpa looked lovingly and said: "Xu Xu is a good boy. I'm very happy and relieved to bring her back."

And he squatted down, took his grandfather's hand, and said softly, "Grandpa, I want to marry her and want to spend a lifetime with her. In the future, I will give you a few smart and lovely great-grandchildren, you must like it very much."

...

Thinking of this, Ji Bai bowed her head and kissed her. There are also drivers and guards in the front row, Xu Xu froze a little, embarrassed to make too much noise, and could only silently shrink in his arms, letting him repeatedly torment his red lips.

Ji Bai kissed her with a red face, and then she smiled and said: "Is the impression good? Do you know the weight of the red envelope he gave?"

Ji Bai’s father was in business and his home was not in the military compound, but lived in the Xiangshan Villa in the western suburbs. When Ji Bai and Xu Xu arrived, the sky was completely dark, the distant mountains were hazy and quiet, and the villa surrounded by green forests was brightly lit.

When Ji Bai and Xu Xu entered the living room, they saw the sofa full of people. Hearing the movements, they looked up at them, and several others got up to meet them.

Xu Xu had seen the photos of Ji's family and recognized everyone at a glance.

The first to stand up was the Ji Er and his wife. They both smiled warmly and stood beside them, a seven- or eight-year-old boy, looking at Xu Xu curiously;

It was the elder brother who got up slowly. His appearance was a bit tougher than Ji Bai, his expression was light, but his eyes were gentle. The sister-in-law beside him also stood up with him, smiling at Xu politely.

Sitting in the middle is Ji Bai's parents. Ji Ji was tall and elegant, and nodded to Xu Xu. Ji mother wore a dark blue dress, diamond necklaces and earrings, her face was well maintained, and her makeup was delicate. Xu Xu glanced quietly, with a faint smile.

Ji Bai is also in a good mood, holding Xu Xu's hand, introducing them one by one, saying hello, and everyone sitting down to eat.

The meal was basically smooth.

The father and son did not get together for some days, poured wine, and even the restrained elder brother talked more. Everyone asked Xu Xu from time to time. She answered them one by one. She was calm and gentle, advancing and retreating, and the atmosphere was very good.

The only mother who spoke less was Ji Ji, who only occasionally put on a sentence or two and smiled, and did not ask Xu Xu any questions.

It was almost ten o'clock in the blink of an eye. The second sister-in-law said with a smile that she couldn't take it anymore, and went to her room to sleep first. Ji Bai Wenyan also put down the glass and took Xu Xu's hand: "We have to drink it for a while, you go to bed first?"

Xu Xu nodded and Ji Bai looked at her mother: "Mom, is Xu Xu's room arranged?"

My mother replied: "It's arranged." Called the servant: "You take her. Are everything in the room ready?" The servant answered yes.

Xu Xu stood up, her eyes collided with Ji Mu, she smiled gratefully, and Ji Mu calmly looked away.

It was already twelve o'clock that night. Ji Bai and his eldest brother helped his father back to the room, just to see his mother open the door and come out. The eyes of mother and child are intertwined in the air, and Ji Bai smiles: "Mom, dad has drunk too much, you rest early."

Ji Mu nodded and did not speak.

After placing his father, the two brothers came out, and the eldest brother patted Ji Bai's shoulders with a smile, and returned to his room.

Ji Bai also smiled.

Although the mother did not directly express her attitude, there are many courtesy to be done. But she did not welcome Xu Xu's attitude, anyone could tell. This made Ji Bai less comfortable, especially when Xu Xu just smiled at his mother in good faith, which made him feel a little hurt.

But he does not intend to talk to his mother for the time being.

How stubborn his mother was. He knew very well that for a police school, he still has a knot of heart. It is useless for him to enlighten and communicate. Now her mother seems to be very dissatisfied with Xu Xu. It is impossible to persuade her in a moment and a half. Instead, she may clarify and intensify contradictions. In the end, even the etiquette on her face is gone, embarrassing Xu Xu.

Today's Ji Bai understands that not all contradictions must be resolved positively overnight. This time, Xu Xu finished seeing relatives and set the name. The purpose has been achieved. On the eve of his departure, he planned to communicate with his mother on his own. In the event of a collapse, he would leave immediately anyway, not involving Xu Xu.

As for the future, he slowly grinded, and when the two were married and had a baby, the hearts of the people were all flesh, and the mother would naturally accept it.

Ji Bai went to the maid again to get the room key.

Xu Xu's room was dark. She curled up in the quilt, revealing a small head, and was asleep. Ji Bai bowed her head and kissed her forehead, and turned out of the room.

The next day, the elder brother and his wife left early in the morning, leaving only Ji Bai Xu Xu and his parents at home.

Breakfast is prepared with tofu brain, buns and soy milk. Xu Xu didn't like the northern part earlier. The tofu brain was a little oily and a bit salty. The steamed buns tasted tasteless and had no appetite at all. Finally, I only took a bottle of soy milk.

Ji Bai looked at it, ate a bit in a hurry, and then pulled her up to stand: "I took Xu Xu out for a turn."

Ji Bai drove Xu Xu to the Cantonese restaurant for breakfast. Seeing her quietly drinking porridge, Ji Bai touched her hair: "I am wronged you."

Xu Xu looked at him sideways: "Fortunately. So how do we solve this?"

Ji Baijing answered for a moment: "My mom's side, I'll deal with it. You don't have to worry about it at all, you don't have to care, the basic etiquette can be done."

The next few days were calm and calm. Xu Xu followed Ji Bai, met a circle of relatives and friends, and hung out with Shu Hang. They had a comfortable life every day. In this way, not much time to spend with Ji Mu, and basically Ji Bai is accompanied. But Ji Mu's attitude is also very clear and hospitality in place, indifferent.

Soon it was the day before departure. Ji Bai didn't arrange anything this day, accompanied Xu Xu to accompany his parents at home, and pack his luggage.

In the afternoon, Ji Bai was playing chess with his father, and the phone rang.

"Mr. Ji, the diamond ring you ordered has arrived in Beijing."

Ji Bai smiled immediately, glanced at Xu Xu, who was packing his luggage in the room, and walked to the corner with no mobile phone.

The other party asked: "When is it convenient for you to see? We will send someone to your house."

Ji Baidan smiled and answered, "I'm driving to get it now."

Ji Bai only said that Shu Hang was looking for him in a hurry and went out. Xu Xu packed his luggage, thinking that Ji Bai had not packed up, and went upstairs to his room.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Ji Mu sitting beside the bed, stacking clothes into his suitcase one by one. Hearing the footsteps, Ji Mu turned her head, glanced at her lightly, and put down what she had in her hand: "Just pick it up when you come."

She got up and left, Xu Xu hesitated and said: "Auntie, thank you and your uncle for the hospitality these days, thank you very much. I will leave tomorrow, and I will see you again with Ji Bai next time. Take care of your body, if you have the opportunity When I go to Linshi, I will do my best as a landlord and take you both around."

These words are docile and polite, and they are not too intimate. But Ji Mu looked at her quietly, and there seemed to be a flash of sarcasm in her eyes: "Thank you. But I won't go to Linshi."

Xu Xu originally just wanted to be polite, but Ji Mu's words really meant something. Seeing her walking towards the door, Xu Xu was silent for a moment, and said, "Auntie, can we talk?"

Ji mother stepped in, and turned to look at her.

If you are replaced with other people at this moment, Xu Xu has no patience to fight for the other party's approval.

But now this person is Ji Bai's mother.

Although Ji Bai said to leave her alone, everything was left to him. But in the past few days, Ji mother's attitude is what she sees in her eyes. Saying that you don't care is fake will make you feel aggrieved. And she doesn't like this kind of superficial politeness, but in fact the cold relationship. But the mother whose boyfriend is a stranger to her does not like her. What should she do?

And if she doesn’t get her approval, Ji Bai will actually feel sorry and uncomfortable? If she can be changed, she is willing to work hard.

Xu Xu has no experience with female elders, but in her case, the final solution to any complex problem is simple and efficient.

She decided to communicate directly with Ji Mu.

After a moment of meditation, she said gently: "Auntie, Ji Bai often mentions you and uncle to me. In his heart, you are not only a parent, but also a person he respects very much. He said that you have made great achievements in your respective life and career fields. Great achievement. I am really happy to see you and his other family members this time."

Ji mother watched her not talking.

Xu Xu continued: "I know that Ji Bai is a police officer. You have always been a bit sorry. I can understand your thoughts. Because a child raised in this family environment, going to the police means eating a lot of hardship that I have not experienced before. , You care about him and cherish him.

But over the years, Ji Bai has been working hard. You may not have seen it in Beijing, and Ji Bai will not mention it to you. He works very, very desperately. Sometimes he can’t sleep well for many days in a row and can’t eat a full meal. Cases are often solved and people are exhausted. The hard work of the criminal police, especially his hard work as the captain of the criminal police, is unimaginable to ordinary people,"

Ji Mu's face changed slightly.

Xu Xu said softly: "Now, he is also doing very well in the public security system. Whoever mentions the Ji family, the first thing that comes to mind is Ji Bai. For this, I also respect him very much. I said this, not other meaning, It’s because of getting along with him day and night, I can feel his inner thoughts that he is so desperate, on the one hand, he is upright and responsible, on the other hand, he is actually proving himself to you and uncle, a 30-year-old man, despite his stubborn personality, but In my heart, I still want to prove to my parents that my thoughts and choices are correct."

Ji Mother: "He asked for it!" Having said that, his eyes changed a bit.

Xu Xu remarked: "No matter in which aspect of work, love, life, ideals, he hopes to get your approval and support. In fact, his relationship with you can be closer than before. I think this is also He longed for children.

Auntie, I have never been in love before, Ji Bai is my first boyfriend, and I always take him as the most important person. He is very hard away from home. Although I am young, I will take good care of him. And we are colleagues in the police station, and we can take care of each other for anything. Therefore, I also personally hope that you can get your approval from Auntie, because you are the most important person for Ji Bai. "

Having said this, she looked up at Ji Mu.

Xu Xu felt that his words of treating each other with sincerity could more or less impress Ji Mu.

She believes that the parent-child relationship will ultimately fall on the word "love". Ji mother's conflict with Ji Bai, her indifference to her, and ultimately hope her son to live better. But this "good" is the mother's personal standard.

So she closely links Ji Bai and her mother-child relationship. She thought that even if she couldn't accept it for a while, she could let her see her friendly attitude.

She prepares to observe Ji Mo's reaction before deciding what to say next.

However, she still knew too little about Ji Mu.

As a high-ranking child, Ji mother received the most orthodox and rigorous education from an early age. She is what Xu Xu's father said, who truly stands at the top of the pyramid. Although Ji Bai's father was in business, it was also a typical "red enterprise", inseparable from her familiar power structure. In her heart, she was deeply proud of her class, and that kind of innate superiority was burned into her bones from an early age.

She deeply believes that the family environment has a great influence on a person's character, mind, and temperament. She doesn't necessarily demand Ji Bai's target, she must be the right one. But it must be a very top-notch girl enough to stand beside Ji Bai.

But Xu Xu, who looks immature and simple in character, is far from her ideal daughter-in-law in terms of external conditions.

One of the reasons for the deeper influence is that Ji Bai disobeyed her intentions and insisted on being a criminal police. She has buried a gully between her mother and her child for many years. Now Xu Xu is another criminal policeman. In her subconscious mind, just like the contradiction once, repeated for the second time. Will she accept it?

Ji mother looked at her, alienated smile appeared in her eyes: "You said so much, just want me to recognize you?"

Xu Xu was stunned, listening to her and said: "Xu Xu, I didn't want to talk to you, but you are a bit too self-righteous. In this case, let's say you might be a girl with excellent conditions. But by my standards You are not beautiful, your education is ordinary, your family background is ordinary, and you cannot give Ji Bai any help in your career. As a mother, I just think that you are not worthy of my son at all. In addition, I also like you Can't get up. Ji Bai wants to be with you, I can't stop it. But my attitude is also clear that I don't accept you."
