Chapter 993

About five minutes after Fang Jingzi left, Fang Jingyi and Zhao Yulan came back with a large basket of vegetables. They didn't see their sister. Fang Jingyi looked at Chu Xia with confusion...

"Third sister-in-law left first..." Chu Xia smiled at Fang Jingyi, "Third sister-in-law also told Sister Jingyi to stay here for dinner, and she will come over in the evening." In order to make Fang Jingyi stay with peace of mind, she said A little white lie.

"Okay." After hearing what Chu Xia said, Fang Jingyi happily agreed. Her sister's matter could be solved, and she could finally let go of a stone in her heart. As for staying at the Lin family to eat, she certainly didn't reject it, nor would she feel uncomfortable. Before She knew the personalities of Lin Baohe and his wife quite well, let alone Chu Xia. Compared to the atmosphere of her own home, she actually liked the Lin family more.

"Third Aunt, let me chop the stuffing..." Fang Jingyi looked at Zhao Yulan and demanded. If she stays to eat, she naturally has to help, otherwise, she will be freeloading.

"Okay." Zhao Yulan was not polite to her. The Fang sisters often came here. She liked them very much and understood their personalities, so she would not be pretentious with them.

"I'm just waiting to finish eating..." Chu Xia leaned back leisurely with a look of comfort on her face, "Is there anyone happier than me in this little life?"

"You should do some activities..." Zhao Yulan looked at her daughter funny, "Your grandma and grandpa have gone to Wan Lao's house. You give them a call and ask Wan Lao's family to come over to eat together in the evening, and then give Qi Lao Make a call over there too, and don’t leave the old family behind."

"Okay." Chu Xia responded while picking up the phone. After finishing the round of notifications, she looked at Zhao Yulan and smiled happily, "There are so many people to eat, mother, don't skip the noodles."

"If your mother can't even do such a small thing well, she'll be in real trouble..." Zhao Yulan glared at her daughter, turned around and walked to the kitchen, but heard her daughter say leisurely from behind, "Mom, you forgot Meng Ran is here, and they will come over tonight, so, hehe..."

"Do you need to remind me? I have already counted them." Zhao Yulan said without looking back.

Also, these days, my friends are all here to settle the dinner. I should treat them as part of my family, so why do I need extra notice?

Someone was muttering boredly here, and a few friends came in arm-in-arm.

"Look at your comfortable little appearance..." Lin Mengran stepped forward and touched Chu Xia's belly, "You look so much like a frog basking in the sun."

Chu Xia: "..." Is there any way to describe people?

"Have you ever seen a frog basking in the sun?" Yang Xiaoli looked at Lin Mengran with a puzzled look on her face, "Are you sure the frog won't die in the sun? Or half-dead in the sun?"

"Don't you understand this?" Lin Mengran looked at her with disdain, "When I was a child, I often saw frogs basking in the sun. Their expressions were very similar to the youngest's just now."

"Lin Mengran..." Chu Xia glared at her bitterly, "Try describing it like this again!"

"Hehe..." Lin Mengran smiled sheepishly, "I was just making a metaphor. I didn't say you were like a frog, right?" Seeing someone clenching his fists, he quickly changed his words, "I was wrong. I was wrong, I should say, your expression just now looked like a cat basking in the sun, so cute..."

"Get lost!" Chu Xia glared at her, "Go and help in the kitchen. We're going to have dumplings tonight, and it's better for the whole family to eat together. Don't just talk here, get started!"

Li Xinli was the first to turn around and quickly entered the kitchen, followed by Wu Jingbo and Yang Xiaoli. Lin Mengran hesitated and smiled at Chu Xia, "I don't know anything, please arrange some other work for me. .”

Early summer: "..."

"Don't look at me like that..." Lin Mengran stepped forward and shook Chu Xia's arm, "When I was at home, the garlic paste I used to dip the dumplings in was made by me."

Chu Xia had no choice but to wave to her: "Okay.

Then go ahead and pound the garlic. "

Lin Mengran ran to the kitchen, asked for a few heads of garlic, and came out with a garlic mortar, "I'll talk to you while I work, otherwise it would be boring for you to stay here by yourself."

"You want me to peel garlic for you, right?"

"You can't wrongly accuse someone like this..." Lin Mengran glared at Chu Xia dissatisfied, "Am I that kind of person? I only have such a small job, do I need your help?

Let me tell you, when I was at home, my whole family was eating dumplings, and I had to peel a bunch of garlic and pound it into minced garlic. I never asked anyone for help. "

Chu Xia had a dark line: "Does the large family you mentioned have to have hundreds of people?"

"There are more than 200 people." Lin Mengran sighed, "But that was in the beginning, when so many people gathered together, it was very lively and harmonious.

Later, such big gatherings became less and less frequent, because grandma's health became worse and worse, and there were more and more messy things to worry about. In total, it has not been this lively for five or six years. "

"I really can't imagine the scene you mentioned." Chu Xia reached out and patted her shoulder, "However, there are too many people, and it is normal for fights and conflicts to occur.

If you want that kind of scene to happen again in the future, then redouble your efforts and let the Lin family flourish under your hands. Then, when you get together again, I can go and experience it. "

Lin Mengran curled her lips: "Okay, don't comfort me. I know very well how many pounds I have. It would be good if I can make them accept me. I still want to make them cohesive. Are you dreaming?! "

"That's not necessarily true..." Chu Xia slapped her forehead fiercely, "By the way, there is a question I have forgotten to ask you. Now it seems that Zuo Jiang is very likely to become the successor of the Zuo family.

And you have a high chance of becoming the successor of the Lin family. What if you both become the family's key training targets? "

"We have already discussed this issue. If he becomes the successor of the Zuo family first, I will not compete for the successor of the Lin family. If I become the successor of the Lin family first, he will not compete for the successor of the Zuo family.

He said that there is another suitable candidate on their side, which is his second cousin. On our side, it seems that if I don't fight, it will probably be Lin Mengye's.

Although I am a little unwilling to let her get her wish, but think about it, my lifelong happiness is quite important. There is no need to compromise my own happiness just to be unwilling, don't you think? "

"What you said makes sense..." Chu Xia sighed, "However, your approach is really passive. Why can't you each compete for your own successor, and it will be mutually beneficial after you get married?

If the elders have objections to this, you two can convince them. Speaking of it, the business scopes of the two companies do not conflict, and they can even reach some cooperation. There is a saying that the good news should not flow to outsiders, right? "

"We have thought about the possibility you mentioned, but the chance of success is too small. Moreover, I don't want us to be too busy. Whether it is his family or my family, the one who is the successor, It will definitely be as busy as clockwork. I don’t want to find out when we are old that although we are husband and wife, we have not been together for long, and I don’t want my child to grow crooked because of our negligence. "

"It's quite long-term thinking." Chu Xia looked at her funny, "I just mentioned it casually. Since you are concerned about this, I won't say more. However, I won't say who the successor of the Zuo family will be. In your family, if your sister is appointed as the successor, then all your efforts will be in vain, and the future development of the Lin family can be predicted, are you willing to do so?"

"I'm not willing to give in, but..." Lin Mengran sighed and smiled bitterly, "If that's true, it only means that the Lin family is angry and can't blame anyone."

Chu Xia stopped persuading her: "Okay, as long as you think so."

"I don't want to think like this, but I have no other way but to comfort myself like this." Lin Mengran shook her head, "Forget it, let's forget about these troublesome things for now..." Then, she switched Topic: "Sister Jingyi is here, why isn't sister Jingzi here?"

"Third sister-in-law came here with Sister Jingyi, and now she is going to find your third brother." Chu Xia answered concisely, which made Lin Mengran confused, "Why are we in such a hurry to find your third brother?" R1152
