Chapter 55

After Xu Mingyi was beaten, she did not come to cause trouble for them. Xu Xingkong remembered the conversation between their family when Xu Xingyuan got engaged.

Hou Jingfang disagreed with Xu Mingyi and Wang Shunsheng. He knew that Wang Shunsheng was a scumbag and she would not push her daughter into the fire pit.

They knew that Xu Mingyi could not be pushed into the fire pit, but when Wang Shun cheated on her, she was about to divorce, so as not to divorce, so that her son would lose his job.

Xu Mingyi hooked up with Wang Shunsheng for money, which was their retribution.

This was not only the retribution of Xu Shifan's family, but also the retribution of Wang Shunsheng. Xu Mingyi came to find her when she was pregnant, and the meaning was obviously to marry Wang Shunsheng.

Wang Shunsheng just got a big divorce last year, but this year he got a bigger one, and he was also the cousin of his ex-wife. If it is spread in a small town like Huaicheng, Wang Shunsheng would not have to be a human being.

After crying in her mother's arms, Xu Xingkong put away his emotions and began to handle Xu Xingyuan's wedding. Xu Xingyuan was confused and happy about her sudden return. Although the wedding only lasted for one day, it would be more meaningful for their whole family to be busy with each other.

There are still ten days before the wedding, and the house used for weddings must be prepared in advance before the wedding. The new bedding made by Lin Meihui, as well as the red pots, red mirrors, and other wedding-related items must also be placed in the new house.

After the things were settled, Xu Xingkong took the key to lock the door and was about to leave. As soon as he left the door, he met Nie Gengqing and his daughter who were playing at the door.

Speaking of which, this is the first time I have seen them since I came back.

The orange cat at Huhu's house is much fatter than when I saw it last time. Nine out of ten orange cats are fat, and one is particularly fat. Now it is heading towards that very fat.

The potted plant at the door could no longer support the figure of the orange cat. It had been hiding for a long time but couldn't get in.

Huhu held two big faces with his collar on his clothes, and he was anxious to reach out to help with the fat little hand, while Nie Gengqing, who was standing aside, carefully reminded him: "Huhu, no."

Hearing his father's words, Huhu turned his face to look at him. Nie Gengqing smiled, with gentle determination in his big eyes. He stretched out his index finger and shook it in front of Huhu. Nie Gengqing said: "It's okay by itself. If you help it, it will be caught."

After listening to Nie Gengqing's words, he turned his head to look at the orange cat. The little fat clenched his fists and said in a slight voice: "Female, come on!"

Xu Xingkong was shocked. He had not seen each other for so many days, and his speech was so great that it was so interesting for the children.

While she was observing the slut, Nie Gengqing looked up and saw her. The two looked at each other, Nie Gengqing smiled and said hello, "I'm back."

Nie Gengqing is a very enthusiastic person. After asking this, Xu Xingkong also smiled and said, "Well, Xingyuan gets married in a few days, I'll come back to help."

While talking, Xu Xingkong walked to Huhu and squatted down. Huhu looked up at her, his big eyes shining, which was very beautiful, like black grapes.

The three or four-year-old child has already begun to recognize people. Huhu obviously has an impression of Xu Xingkong, but he didn't remember who she was. After a while, he turned his head and looked at his father standing aside, asking for help.

Nie Gengqing received a request for help from his daughter, and smiled and said, "This is Aunt Starry Sky. She also helped you shoot a short video during the Chinese New Year. I forgot such a beautiful aunt?"

Nie Gengqing has a high emotional intelligence. He also praised her while reminding her, which made people not embarrassed at all, and his favorability towards him doubled.

He seemed to remember, looked back at Xu Xingkong, and shouted with a smile: "Hello Auntie."

This time the "good" did not rise and was suppressed.

The little girl has a round and fleshy face, wide double eyelids and long eyelashes, and a pair of beautiful big eyes that have inherited Nie Gengqing. She is really cute.

Xu Xingkong felt so excited when he was screaming. He reached out and patted her little shoulder gently, and said with a smile: "Haohu is good. Huohu has grown up a lot, and his words are clearer than before."

He didn't understand the specific meaning, but knew that he was praised and was just laughing. Nie Gengqing, who was on the other hand, answered Xu Xingkong's words: "Yes, children at this stage grew very fast, and they might miss something if they were not careful."

Xu Xingkong had no experience in raising children. Seeing Nie Gengqing's appearance as if he was a girl, he felt envious again.

Nie Gengqing could see that her smile was not as good as before, so she immediately changed the topic and asked, "Is it very busy to prepare for marriage?"

"Yes." Xu Xingkong nodded with emotion. There are many and complicated things to get married, and there are some things that cannot be handled well.

Nie Gengqing smiled and asked naturally: "What are you busy with these two days?"

Xu Xingkong looked up at him and felt comfortable chatting with him. After a smile, he said, "I found a few wedding photographers yesterday."

"How many?" Nie Gengqing smiled in surprise and asked, "Don't you like the style?"

"Yes." Xu Xingkong nodded and said, "I feel that he is not very technical, and he doesn't seem to have studied photography."

Huaicheng is a small town, and the style of wedding photographers is more rural. And it is said that they are photographers, but the wedding company just found someone to take a SLR to shoot.

"Then can I recommend myself?" Nie Gengqing smiled, with sincerity in his big eyes, "I am very professional."

His sudden self-recommendation made Xu Xingkong stunned. She remembered that she had heard Xu Xingyuan say before that Nie Gengqing was a full-time photographer who had won many awards. There is no doubt about his professionalism, but is it a bit of a lack of talent for such a powerful photographer to shoot weddings?

Xu Xingkong actually felt a little embarrassed, but looking at Nie Gengqing's expression, it didn't seem like a joke. Xu Xingkong hesitated and said, "It's OK, but it won't waste your time?"

"No." Nie Gengqing said, "I was doing a photography special topic about Huaicheng wedding. After doing this, Xingyuan's wedding photographer, I helped me with my work without delay. And it was close to my home, so I could take care of it."

After hearing what Nie Gengqing said, it was true. Xu Xingkong looked down at him, and the little girl was still cheering for the orange cat. Xu Xingkong did not be polite anymore and said with a smile: "Then please trouble you."

While the family was having supper in the evening, Xu Xingkong came out with the dishes and mentioned what happened this afternoon.

"The wedding photographer has settled, and your neighbor, Mr. Nie, said he would come to help."

Xu Xingyuan, who was eating, was startled and opened his eyes wide and confirmed: "Is it true? He is super amazing. Tongtong and I have been to his house. The photo was taken so beautiful!"

"Yes, yes." Zhou Tongtong was also a little excited.

Looking at the surprise expressions of the two, Xu Xingkong handed over the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Really, he said he would do a wedding photography topic recently, and this time he happened to work while helping."

"Wow, it's amazing!" Xu Xingkong and Zhou Tongtong looked at each other and said with a smile, "Our wedding was taken by a famous photographer. Is it great?"

Zhou Tongtong swallowed the flesh in his mouth and said with a smile: "Great!"

Seeing the couple excited, Xu Xingkong smiled and picked up another piece of ribs for Zhou Tongtong.

"Then he is so famous, the price must be very expensive, right? How much is the right amount to give then?" Lin Meihui wanted to ask.

Although Nie Gengqing said he was here to take wedding photography special topics, he did come to help and couldn't owe others what he had.

"Wait until then, let's give Huhu a bigger red envelope." Xu Xingkong looked at Lin Meihui and said, "giving money directly may make the relationship awkward."

He can afford a house there and is also a well-known photographer. I think Nie Gengqing should be fine. This kind of kindness from his neighbors must be properly supported, but it cannot be used in vain.

"Okay, that's great." Lin Meihui nodded with a smile after hearing Xu Xingkong's words.

After being excited, Xu Xingyuan looked at Lin Meihui and said, "Mr. Nie is so good-looking, has a good personality, and has children. Mom, please find someone to match him and my sister."

Xu Xingyuan spoke in shock, and Xu Xingkong choked. She coughed outside the table, her face red. Zhou Tongtong quickly got up and poured her a glass of water. Xu Xingkong took the water and looked at Xu Xingyuan and said anxiously: "What are you talking nonsense? You are not allowed to do it, and in the end it makes the relationship between the neighbors stiff."

After being said by my sister, Xu Xingyuan didn't care and said, "Why am I talking nonsense? I think he is just good, honest and down-to-earth. Anyway, if you look for it again, don't look for those rich people who run companies, that kind of men are unreliable."

Xu Xingkong was stunned.

Zhou Tongtong saw that Xu Xingkong looked wrong, frowned and said to Xu Xingyuan: "You think he is good, go marry him, why are you pulling our sister?"

Xu Xingyuan also noticed that Xu Xingkong was in a wrong mood and quickly said, "I marry him, who will marry you?"

Zhou Tongtong's face turned red.

Xu Xingkong looked at the couple's bickering, and after he came to his senses, a smile appeared on his face.

Seeing the atmosphere ease, Lin Meihui hesitated for a moment and said, "Today, your aunt called me and asked me how to arrange the ancestor worship before marriage. I guess it was your grandmother who asked me to ask."

In Huaicheng, the new man would go to worship his ancestors seven days before his marriage and inform his descendants of getting married and starting a career. This is a major event before marriage, and there are some considerations to take to worship his ancestors.

This matter really requires the participation of the Xu family. Old Mrs. Xu asked Xu Shiting to ask, instead of calling herself. It should be because Xu Xingkong refused the blind date she introduced, and she is still angry and holding on.

When he mentioned the Xu family, Xu Xingyuan's face was pulled down and he said, "Just take Tongtong to my father's grave and kowtow to let him know that he has a daughter-in-law. What do you have to do with the Xu family?"

"This is a custom." Lin Meihui said embarrassedly. She glanced at Xu Xingkong and said, "Since your grandmother asked you to ask, she must be going. If she didn't take her, she might be doing what she wanted."

Moreover, even if we don’t see the Xu family when we worship our ancestors this time, Xu Xingyuan will still have to meet in a few days. It’s a blessing, not a disaster, it’s a disaster.

"Then follow the customs." Xu Xingkong said.

"Sister!" Xu Xingyuan frowned.

Xu Xingkong smiled and said softly: "Listen to mom."

Xu Xingyuan frowned even more.

He didn't care about going to worship his ancestors with the Xu family, but when he thought of what Mrs. Xu did at that time, he would be furious. Moreover, she might even sarcastically when she met.

On the day of ancestor worship, because there are many sacrificial supplies to bring to the cemetery, my sister-in-law Xu Shiting specially sent her son Yang Zhihao to drive a van to help.

The van drove to the unit building. After Yang Zhihao opened the tailgate of the van, Xu Xingkong and Xu Xingyuan began to move things to the car.

This time, Xu Shifan and his family came, but they only brought their son Xu Minghui over. Xu Mingyi seemed to be frightened by Lin Meihui last time, so she didn't come this time.

Xu Minghui is older than Xu Xingyuan and Yang Zhihao. He is twenty-five years old this year. He is not tall but very fat. He is wearing patterned clothes, with a pot cover, and a big gold chain hanging around his neck.

He is different from Xu Xingyuan. Xu Xingyuan is a poor student and has a bad temper, but he will beat people down if others are angry. Xu Minghui is the kind of gangster who will mess with you if you don’t mess with him, and he will mess with you. He is just a gangster who is scrambled on the street.

He is lazy and unreasonable. He used to be arrogant and domineering in Shunxing Company because he was the cousin of the boss of Shunxing Company. Now Xu Xingkong and Wang Shun have divorced. He is not happy at Shunxing Company. Now he looks at Xu Xingkong with no good face.

While the juniors were all busy picking up things into the car, he was smoking a cigarette in the driver's seat of the new Buick he just bought to watch Kuaishou videos.

Sacrifice to ancestors is a serious matter. He smiled so hard that he looked ruffian. Xu Shifan behind him, and Old Lady Xu who had already got off the car and stood there with Hou Jingfang to count the sacrifices.

This time the ancestor worship before marriage was a big deal. Several aunts chatting in the community looked at each other and asked with a smile: "Will you worship your ancestors today?"

Old Mrs. Xu looked down on Xu Xingkong's family and bullied him, but he was kind to others. After hearing their questions, Old Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Yes."

"Oh, we all watched Xingyuan grow up. In the past few days, he has also started a family and a career." A chubby aunt said politely.

"Yes, the child is grown up, and we are old too." As Mrs. Xu spoke, she saw Xu Xingkong walking over with a box of wine.

Since she came here, Old Lady Xu has not had any good looks to Xu Xingkong. Xu Xingkong is so good that she just ignores her, which makes her even more angry.

At first, Xu Xingkong did not even go to the person she introduced to Xu Xingkong, which led to people who now say that she brags, saying that she can't even care about her granddaughter, etc.

Thinking of this, Old Mrs. Xu was so angry that she looked at Xu Xingkong putting the wine box in the backup car of the van, and snorted coldly and said, "This time I go to worship my ancestors, I have no shame to meet the ancestors."
