Arriving early is worse than arriving by chance. As soon as he arrived at the gate of the community, he saw a parking space. Nan Li had sharp eyes. She quickly turned the steering wheel and parked in with a swish.
Waiting for the car to stop here, Xia Junshan, the co-pilot, got off the car and went to the back to open the trunk and took out the fruit basket he bought for his old father-in-law.
In fact, it can be seen from the gifts bought this time that Nan Li is really reluctant to come over today, otherwise she would not be so perfunctory. Since the family is not short of money, the previous few times they have been high-end supplements.
Because even filial sons and daughters can't stand the fact that this old man always holds reunion parties, gathers people from two different families together, and forcibly creates a sisterly bond.
When walking here, Xia Junshan turned a corner and saw his old father-in-law.
He waved his hand enthusiastically: "Dad~"
"Junshan Lili, why did you come here!" Nan Jianlong complained as he walked past.
But his attitude towards his two little grandsons was different. His expression changed instantly, and he was smiling even when he spoke.
Oh, Huanhuan Chaochao, come here and show grandpa, I miss you so much~"
"Grandpa, we miss you too!" The two children ran over and hugged him tightly.
Then Nan Jianlong held one hand and led his daughter and son-in-law home happily.
He kept saying: "Huanhuan, grandpa knew that you would definitely win the championship, so he went to buy you a gift several days in advance. Guess what it is?"
But before Huanhuan could reply, the little man on the left holding hands, Chaochao, was a little reluctant.
She said in a sweet voice: "Grandpa, I want a gift too~"
"Oh, my eldest grandson, grandpa can't forget you. I heard from your parents that you have performed very well during this period, so they also bought us a gift as a reward!"
As soon as Nan Jianlong's voice coaxing the children fell, everyone also entered the house.
"LiLi, your slippers!"
After Cai Juying heard the voice and came over, she leaned down and took out a pair of particularly beautiful disposable slippers from the closet as usual. She was also very enthusiastic when she spoke.
But Nan Li always felt uncomfortable at this time. The exquisite disposable slippers under her feet were like a thorn in her heart, reminding her that she was an outsider all the time.
However, for the sake of his father, he still forced out a smile: "Thank you!"
Xia Junshan, who was changing shoes next to him, observed more carefully and was very attentive, and immediately noticed the slight change in his wife's expression.
He stood up and held her hand to express comfort. Then he frowned and thought that he should do something. Otherwise, Cai Juying was too arrogant. It was enough once or twice. Why is it not over?
Having been in the same bed for so long, Nan Li could be said to know her husband very well. She knew what he was going to do with almost a slight movement.
So she pulled him gently. As a daughter, she didn't want to see her father in trouble because of such a trivial matter.
Xia Junshan smiled and returned the look, which meant that he knew what was going on and asked Nan Li to keep it in mind.
So I turned around and saw that my old father-in-law hadn't left yet, so I deliberately said loudly: "Dad, we don't need to prepare disposable slippers when we come back in the future!"
"This is a bit too wasteful. Besides, you can just wear whatever you want when you go back to your own home. Lili and I are not here as guests!"
"Huh?" Nan Jianlong, who was teasing his two grandsons, subconsciously looked down when he heard his son-in-law's words.
It didn't matter, because his daughter was indeed wearing a pair of disposable slippers, which made his expression change instantly.
No matter how beautifully made the slippers are, no matter how pretty the bow is, it cannot change the fact that they are just a pair of disposable slippers.
Needless to say, Nan Jianlong's emotional intelligence and IQ were able to achieve the position of vice president, and he almost immediately figured out the reason.
After raising her head, she glanced at her daughter Nan Li with complicated eyes. The expression on her face was both guilty and distressed, because looking back now, it seemed that she had been wearing disposable slippers for a long time, and she didn't pay much attention to it before.
Then he turned to look at his wife Cai Juying, his face expressionless and his brows slightly furrowed, obviously a little angry.
Cai Juying was also quite nervous when being stared at. After all, she was just a rural woman with little education. The thought of using slippers to declare her sovereignty would kill many brain cells.
This was now exposed by Xia Junshan. Facing her husband's questioning gaze, she didn't know what to say for a moment. An anxious look gradually appeared on her face, and her brain was running rapidly.
Xia Junshan on the side was just watching the fun with a smile, and even made some remarks to add fuel to the fire.
"Aunt Cai, we are all a family. Such beautiful disposable slippers would be useless if you use them yourself. You should keep them for guests to use!"
"When Lili and I come back in the future, just like Yan Peng and the others, we can just find slippers and don't have to make such elaborate preparations. This is simply too polite!"
When Nan Li saw the aggrieved look of this "old mistress", she felt a lot more comfortable, and the corners of her mouth slightly raised. It felt very sweet that her husband had just helped her to settle the injustice.
Because really speaking, she has never let go of Cai Juying in her heart over the years. Now she is polite because of her father's face. After all, the college entrance examination was about to take place in two months.
If there hadn't been such a thing as parents' divorce, I guess at least I could have gone to a higher level in college. Who would have felt comfortable with that?
Nan Jianlong here has been married to Cai Juying for more than ten years. Although he was angry at her behavior, he still helped find a way out.
But his words also revealed his displeasure: "Junshan is right, don't prepare any disposable slippers in the future. Lili and the others are not that special, just be the same as Lanlan!"
"Hey, okay, actually I am also..." Cai Juying wanted to explain after agreeing.
But Nan Jianlong didn't want to hear it. He waved his hand and interrupted: "Okay, it's just a slipper. This matter is over and no one is allowed to mention it again in the future!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he glared at his son-in-law, which contained a warning tone, because he felt that if he hadn't just said these words, this matter would not have happened.
Xia Junshan didn't care when he saw this look. He respected his old father-in-law, but that didn't mean he could swallow his anger like in the play. What's more, it was his wife who had been wronged, so he did so with a clear conscience.
But Nan Li was a little unhappy, so she didn't even say anything, just put on a pair of disposable slippers and walked straight to the living room, clearly expressing her dissatisfaction with her father's favoritism.
"Alas~" Nan Jianlong sighed when he saw this. He felt that he was also in a dilemma.
You can't scold your wife for something as trivial as slippers. Even if there is no love for so many years, she has been cared for for so long, and she is still a bit reclusive.
The two children here, Huanhuan and Chaochao, were well educated by their parents. The adults were talking over there, so they waited quietly.
"Huanhuan, Chaochao, you go and play by yourself. Grandpa has something to tell your father~" Nan Jianlong said with a smile after coming to the living room.
Then his expression changed and he looked coldly at his son-in-law who had just been sitting on the sofa.
"Junshan, come to the yard for a moment. I have something to say to you~"
