Chapter 336 Xue Er Is Gone!
Madam Xia said with a smile, "I know you're busy, but Xingzhi was able to stay in China this time and found his own research direction. As a mother, I have to invite everyone to have a meal together. So please run away. Come here."
"Congratulations cousin." Jiang Zhe said flatly.
She didn't do anything, and with Xia Xingzhi's ability, he would be seen by Old Fu sooner or later.
It is only a first step to see that it is indeed a great blessing for the country to not let such talents go abroad.
"Originally, Xingzhi said that there is no need to be so troublesome. Anyway, we are all eating, so we just eat it as usual. I also thought that if we have to eat anyway, then we should just make it a little richer. It is a celebration, so we don't find a special place to eat out. Yes. It's a happy event after all."
Jiang Xiruo was also happy for them by the side: "Xingzhi has loved research in this area since he was a child, and now he belongs to his heart, and we are all happy for him."
The servant prepared a lot of things and came over to find Madam Xia in return.
"Let's invite the second master and the second lady," said Mrs. Xia.
During this time, because of Mrs. Xia's illness, everyone ate together.
It can't be said that we won't be together today.
Originally, she also thought about not being ostentatious, for fear that Mrs. Xia would not be happy.
But thinking that Mrs. Xia has been ostentatious for a day or two, and she has never been seen considering other people's feelings.
So Mrs. Xia didn't bother to care about their thoughts.
Mrs. Xia stayed in her room for the past two days and did not come out.
She had prepared a grand ceremony for Xia Mingzhu. As long as she became the project leader, she would invite relatives and friends to have dinner together.
Who knew that when Xia Mingzhu came back that day, the whole person was not in a high mood.
When she learned that Xia Xingzhi had taken Xia Mingzhu's place, she was furious.
But after all, she must also be recognized. The research institute has strict requirements for selecting candidates, and those who are capable are placed there.
If Xia Xingzhi is selected, it must be that Xia Xingzhi is better than Xia Mingzhu.
Mrs. Xia Er was very upset about this for the past two days.
Hearing that Mrs. Xia also said that she wanted to eat in the evening, she said, "Got it."
No matter how unhappy Mrs. Xia invited her to dinner, she had to go.
I have to prepare a gift for Xia Xingzhi.
Thinking of the outstanding abilities of her son and daughter, she has been putting high pressure on Mrs. Xia for the past two years. Now that Mrs. Xia has barely turned over once, she can only bear it.
She called Xia Mingzhu.
Xia Mingzhu's tone was a little sullen: "Have dinner? I'm still a little busy."
"Your aunt is preparing, which means that Xingzhi will also come back. You can come back when Xingzhi comes back."
Xia Mingzhu's busyness was indeed an excuse.
She didn't want to see her family for the past two days, especially Xia Xingzhi.
Compared to her work during the day, she was already hit hard and her face was dull.
Go home at night and face it.
"Can't you just not eat it?"
"Pearl!" Mrs. Xia said, "Do you think it's suitable for you?"
Xia Mingzhu said, "I see, I'll be back. Mom, by the way, help me find the snow fungus that my brother bought. I want to get some as a gift."
Mrs. Xia went to look after hanging up the phone.
Last time, Xia Mingli finally asked someone to buy two boxes of snow fungus, which cost a lot of money.
Just got it yesterday and put it home.
This was originally used to make up for Madam Xia's body.
Mrs. Xia has been a little uncomfortable these two days, so she hasn't taken it yet.
Thinking that there are two boxes, Xia Mingzhu wants to take one box to give away, so Mrs. Xia naturally has no objection.
The old lady's health is good recently, and Jiang Xiruo has been helping to take care of it again. Maybe she won't need this snow fungus at all, and it's a good thing to save it.
This thing is precious, and Mrs. Xia didn't let the servants handle it, so she found a place to store it.
Now that Xia Mingzhu wants it, she naturally finds it herself.
Walking into the room dedicated to storing valuables, Mrs. Xia looked for it and found that the thing was not there!
"What's the matter? I clearly put it here yesterday."
She still hasn't been found.
She was so anxious that she immediately rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find it.
A cold sweat broke out behind her back.
This thing is hard to buy, if it is eaten by Mrs. Xia, it will be fine, and it will also gain a reputation for filial piety.
Can't find it now?
Xia Mingzhu had already returned, and when she heard her rummaging through things, she asked, "Mom, what's going on?"
"Xue Er is gone!" Madam Xia said angrily, "I clearly put it in this position!"
"Let the servant come over and ask!" Xia Mingzhu said.
All the servants came over and said that they had not seen this thing.
"Who else would that be?" Mrs. Xia said, "Has anyone from their side ever been here?"
"Miss Enci came over. Didn't she ask you for a flower in the yard the day before yesterday? She came and took it in the morning."
Mrs. Xia knew about this. During dinner that night, Xia Enci said she liked flowers. Mrs. Xia originally planned to give her own to Xia Enci.
Mrs. Xia took the initiative to give a gift to Xia Enci.
Xia Mingzhu didn't speak, and Mrs. Xia said, "This is really a child who grew up outside. He doesn't teach any basic law at all. Bring everything into the house!"
She has been full of anger these days, but now she has a reason, and the anger rises up.
Xia Mingzhu said lightly: "Mom, you don't need to get angry directly, why don't you ask her first. Maybe she doesn't know what it is, so she eats it as an ordinary mushroom. It's not every day at San Aunt. Mushrooms or something, how do they know the difference between valuables and ordinary items."
Mrs. Xia was even more angry: "Even if you don't know the difference, you should know that you can't arbitrarily take other people's things, right? I won't say the price of this thing, it's not that you don't know how difficult it is to buy it. How much blood did it take?"
She got up in a hurry and went straight outside.
Xia Mingzhu didn't stop her because of the bad weather.
...
Jiang Zhe and Xia Enci are sitting in the living room.
Jiang Xiruo brought several bowls of desserts over and greeted them both.
"Sister-in-law, this is yours. Mom, this is yours." Jiang Xiruo set the bowl.
"Me too?" Madam Xia asked with a smile.
"The weather is about to get hot, and it's a little hot. I cooked more desserts for my mother, and everyone can eat it together." Jiang Xiruo explained.
Mrs. Xia looked at what was dark in the bowl and didn't know what dessert it was.
Take a bite, it's a little cold, the sweetness is very light, and other flavors can't taste anything.
But it was quite palatable, and Mrs. Xia enjoyed her meal.
Jiang Xiruo feeds Mrs. Xia.
Jiang Zhe and Xia Enci sat down to eat while chatting.
"You eat more, there are still in the kitchen. After you eat, add more." Jiang Xiruo said with a smile.
Jiang Zhe took the spoon and ate.
