Li Zijuan said in confusion: "You have to discuss this with Octavia. Haven't you two discussed it yet?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhiyi wailed and told them Octavia's thoughts and concerns, saying that it was precisely because she was thinking about Octavia that she couldn't make up her mind, otherwise she would have made her decision long ago.
After knowing this, Li Zijuan said without hesitation:
"What else is there to think about? Octavia's thinking is right. My son-in-law is reliable and thoughtful.
If he rarely travels on business, it would be best for you two to live in Nuange Garden. The situation is different now. He travels all the time, and you are pregnant with twins with such a high risk. No one is worried if you are left alone at home.
The most appropriate way is for you to live in a bright house, so everyone can rest assured. Girl, be obedient and don't let Octavia worry about you while he's on a business trip. "
Everyone had different opinions, which made Xu Zhiyi even more conflicted.
When the girl returns to her parents' home, Li Zijuan, the mother, will definitely make delicious food for her.
After asking what she wanted to eat, Li Zijuan and Xu Hong prepared to buy ingredients at the morning market.
Xu Zhiyi originally wanted to go, but they persuaded her to stop, saying that the market was crowded and chaotic, and it was unsafe for her and a pregnant woman to squeeze in, so they told her to stay at home.
When Xu Hong saw that Xu Zhiyi was pregnant, she smiled at Li Zijuan and said:
"Sister-in-law, Zhiyi is up to you. I remember that when you were pregnant with her and Xiao An, you didn't have any bad taste. Your appetite is better than before you were pregnant with the child. It seems that this is hereditary."
When they heard the word inheritance, the expressions of mother and daughter froze.
Xu Hong didn't pay attention and was still talking to herself, "It's a good thing to inherit this. It doesn't hurt you and you don't suffer much. It's not like me back then. Oops, I wanted to vomit my stomach out. I can't bear the pain. Tsk tsk. Now I think about it. Terrified, Zhiyi, I remember your mother back then..."
"Okay, stop talking nonsense and walk quickly. If you don't leave, the morning market will be withdrawn." Li Zijuan interrupted and pulled her out of the house.
Xu Zhiyi sat alone on the sofa, couldn't help but caress her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and said to herself:
"Baby, you are fine in your mother's belly, and your mother is fine, and the three of us are fine. It will be fine, it will be fine."
She kept cheering herself up and giving herself positive hints. Gradually, the uneasiness in her heart dissipated.
At noon, Li Zijuan cooked a large table of dishes, most of which were Xu Zhiyi's favorites, and even cooked local chicken soup for her.
After Xu Cheng and Xu Zhian got off work, the five of them sat down to eat.
During the meal, she asked Xu Cheng's opinion about living in Mingzhai. Xu Cheng didn't even think about it. He directly said that he and Li Zijuan had the same opinion and asked her not to be willful and live in Mingzhai with peace of mind.
After all, their first starting point was to consider her safety, and everything else came later.
Xu Zhiyi said unwillingly:
"However, I feel uneasy when I think of living in Mingzhai. Think about it, how stressful it is for me to live with four unfamiliar elders day and night, four, but four!"
She was a little excited, made a four with her finger, and continued:
"Yes, everyone is worried that I am pregnant, and they say that from now on it will be up to me, but in real life, is it really up to me?
Once or twice is fine, but over time, won’t there still be conflicts? When there is a conflict, I can't argue with my elders, right?
In that case, it would be difficult for Octavia to be sandwiched in the middle. Finally, don’t I have to be careful? I don't want to live like that. "
Xu Zhiyi didn't want to live with his elders for another reason that he couldn't explain.
She has been controlled by Xu Cheng since she was a child. She had to obey him in everything and did not dare to resist easily. As a result, she developed a thinking habit. If she had a conflict with her elders, as a last resort, she would instinctively choose to wrong herself first and ask her elders for help. compromise.
Living with Octavia for more than half a year, he encouraged her to put her own feelings first in everything. Perhaps she was spoiled by him. Now, she doesn't want to be restrained by her elders at all, and just wants to live a more willful life. Have fun.
However, now precisely because of Octavia, she had to...
While hesitating, Xu Zhian suddenly interrupted:
"Sister, listen to me, it's better to live alone. Not to mention that you live in a bright house and live under the eyes of your elders. Even if we want to go to your house, we have to be cautious. From the time you got married to now, I will I went there on your wedding day and never since, not to mention me, not even your parents..."
"What nonsense are you talking about? Your mother and I want to go to your sister's house. What's the point of looking forward and backward? We haven't gone. It's because your sister and your brother-in-law have been in Hangzhou and have no chance to go." Xu Cheng said rudely. Cut him off.
Xu Zhian pouted and muttered in dissatisfaction: "Hmph, I'm sure that even if my sister lives in Mingzhai in the future, you and my mother will not go there easily."
Xu Cheng glared at him angrily, and he turned around angrily and buried his head in eating.
Xu Hong glanced at the father and son and couldn't help but sigh:
"Hey, Xiao An is right. I don't know if you dare to go. Anyway, as a sister-in-law, I don't dare to go."
Suddenly, everyone became quiet and ate their meals silently with their heads down.
Xu Zhiyi thought about it carefully and realized that Xu Zhian was right. With four elders here, even if she wanted to bring her relatives or friends to Mingzhai, she would have to think twice.
At least, you need to inform them in advance and get their consent.
Even if you take him there, you still have to worry about what will make them unhappy later.
After all, it’s not your own home, and you don’t have that much freedom. You can’t do whatever you want.
The more I think about it, the more upset I get.
In the evening, Xu Zhiyi returned to Mingzhai, but Mingrui was not staying at her parents' house.
It happened that Xu Zhian had the afternoon off, so she took him to Mingzhai with her.
Li Zijuan didn't let him go to the Ming family empty-handed, and the Ming family didn't lack fruits or anything, so she asked him to bring some dumplings she had made herself in the afternoon.
When we arrived at Ming's house, Octavia had not returned home yet.
Seeing Xu Zhian coming, Ming Liang and his wife and Ming Huaiyuan were very enthusiastic.
Feng Xiaoyu, in particular, pulled Xu Zhian to look at it, looking at it with admiration, and forced him to give him a big red envelope, making him both happy and embarrassed.
He kept scratching his head.
The four people saw that he had specially brought dumplings for them, and they didn't dislike it at all. They asked for bowls and chopsticks, and ate happily. They all praised the dumplings for being delicious and Li Zijuan's skill.
Xu Zhiyi was already full, but seeing how delicious they were eating, she became greedy again, so she followed them and ate a few more.
The four people kept watching her eating, their eyes full of joy.
Xu Zhian has been working for nearly a year, and he has learned to watch people's emotions early on. He can see that they are not perfunctory, which makes him feel more at ease.
Zhou Lan glanced at him, seemed to remember something, and asked: "Xiao An, I remember that you seem to work in a funeral parlor, right?"
Xu Zhian said generously: "Yes, Auntie, I started working last year, almost a year ago."
"Which funeral home?"
"Guanyun Funeral Home in the north of the city."
"Oh..." Zhou Lan nodded, thoughtfully.
Originally, Xu Zhian wanted to wait until he saw Octavia before going home, but when it was almost nine o'clock, he had not come back yet.
He felt that it would not be good to stay any longer, so he got up and left.
Ming Huaiyuan specially sent a driver to take him back.
Xu Zhiyi returned to his bedroom, took a shower, and waited for Octavia to come back.
She already had an idea in mind and was waiting for Octavia to come back and tell him.
