Bad luck

"Patriarch Chi, I am here to hire on behalf of the second master. This is the book of ceremonies. Please read it." The woman spoke softly and softly, and she wore a jade bracelet with an excellent water head on her white wrist. A letter in gold on a red background.

As her voice fell, several big men walked up to the mahogany box and opened the lid.

The Chi family all gasped, the contents inside were either gold, silver, jewelry, or antique treasures, as well as silk and satin, which is nothing more than the emperor marrying a wife.

The Patriarch held the ceremony book, looked at the items and quantity on it, and felt a little dizzy, "Liu...Miss Liu, is this a mistake?"

This lady's surname is Liu and her name is Mingzhu. The previous Nacai, Wenming, and Najib were all handled by her.

Liu Mingzhu raised her red lips slightly, and said, "That's right, it was all arranged by our second master himself."

When the head of the family heard this, his heart was shocked. The second master valued this marriage far more than he imagined.

"The second master has already calculated the date himself, and it will be the third day of junior high school. What do you think?"

The sun came over, and Liu Mingzhu stood in the shade under an umbrella. Many women in the Chi family saw her movements, and looked at her snow-like skin and magnificent face. Same.

"Okay, okay." The Patriarch didn't dare to object, and quickly nodded in agreement.

"That being the case, on the third day of the junior high school, the second master will come to welcome the bride." After discussing with the Patriarch of the Chi family, Liu Mingzhu frowned slightly, looked at the sun above her head with some irritability, and hurried away holding an umbrella.

At this time, Chi Jingyuan was still wandering outside. He had no other hobbies other than practicing guns. Walking on the street, he really didn't know which direction to go for a while.

Chi Jingyuan got on the bus and got off at the platform where the most people got off.

There is a newly built large shopping mall nearby, and it was Chi Jingyuan's first time here, so he found a shop at random and had something to eat.

"Catch the thief!" A woman's scream sounded, Chi Jingyuan's body reacted faster than his brain, and he chased after him like a gust of wind, and a grasping hand pressed the thief to the ground.

"very handsome!"

"This buddy has practiced."

"Could it be filming?"

Pedestrians around stopped one after another, surrounding Chi Jingyuan and the thief. Chi Jingyuan took the lady's satchel from the thief, and a woman with a big belly rushed over sweating profusely holding her belly.

"Thank you."

"With a little help, see if there is anything missing." Chi Jingyuan handed the bag to the woman, and the security personnel in the mall also arrived in time.

Now everyone immediately understood that it was really shameless for this thief to snatch a pregnant woman's bag.

"You also snatch pregnant women! Your heart is too dark."

"Fortunately, this handsome guy is brave enough to see justice."

The pregnant woman counted her bags, with a grateful expression on her face, she thanked Chi Jingyuan again and again, "Thank you so much."

Chi Jingyuan waved his hand. Seeing that she was petite but had a big belly and sweat on her forehead, she couldn't help asking, "Is your family around here?"

"The child's father is on a business trip, and my house is nearby. I didn't expect to run into a thief due to bad luck." The woman stroked her stomach with a gentle expression.

"I'll take you back." Chi Jingyuan happened to be fine, so he wasn't very relieved to let the other party go back by himself.

If Chi Jingyuan hadn't just caught the thief for her, the woman would have wondered if he had some purpose. She has seen enthusiastic ones, but she has never seen such enthusiastic ones.

Chi Jingyuan sensed the woman's defense, "I'm sorry, I just got out of the army and I'm still not used to it."

When the woman heard that he was a retired soldier, she immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Then I will trouble you."

Chi Jingyuan helped her carry the fruit, and he didn't talk to anyone along the way. After sending him to the door of the unit, he handed her the fruit bag, nodded at her, turned and left.At this time, women really believe it, and they are pure and warm-hearted.

"Sir, please leave me your contact information. When the child's father comes back, we will treat you to a meal."

"No need." Chi Jingyuan said and left.

The woman looked at the back of Chi Jingyuan leaving, touched her belly, and said with a smile: "Baby, Mom met a very good man today."

"Where did you die? You know how to run outside all day long. If you drop my grandson, you will have nothing to eat!" The old woman's sharp voice sounded from the corridor, and the smile on the woman's face froze.

"Mom, I didn't go anywhere, I just wandered around, and I felt sick to my stomach from sitting all the time."

The old woman saw the fruit in the woman's hand sharply, and grabbed it, "Hmph, my son works hard all day to make money, but you are lucky, you know how to spend his money."

The woman's eyes were red with grievances, and she walked into the house with her head down. The old woman chased after her and cursed, "I said a few words to you and shed tears. Is it wrong to scold you? Is it wrong to treat you to my son?" Let's recruit, I don't want to eat old women."

With a sound of "Bang!", the door was closed, and all the noise was blocked.

In the dark corridor, the opposite iron door slowly opened, a skinny hand rested on the doorknob, an old voice sounded with the sound of closing the door: "Oh, sin, sin..."

Chi Jingyuan hasn't been back for five years, the city is changing rapidly, he almost lost his way, and when he returned to Chi's house, it was already evening.

"Master Jing Yuan, Patriarch, please go over there." The housekeeper seemed to have been waiting at the door for a long time, and came up to greet Chi Jingyuan when he saw Chi Jingyuan.

"Yeah." Chi Jingyuan didn't care what the reason was, and went straight to his grandfather's yard.

"Jingyuan, sit down." The grandpa sat in front of the chessboard and played chess alone.

Chi Jingyuan walked up to him and sat down, picked up the white piece, and set it down.

Grandpa didn't look up at him either, the two just played like this, and finally Chi Jingyuan won two eyes.

"I'm getting old..." The grandfather took a sip from the teacup, and Chi Jingyuan put away the chess pieces.

"Jingyuan... The second master is here to give the betrothal gift today." His eyes fell on Chi Jingyuan, and when he saw Chi Jingyuan's hand holding the chess pieces, he paused, and then nodded as if nothing had happened, " Um."

"The wedding date is set on the third day of the junior high."

In the third day of junior high school, there is still a week left.

"Hmm." He didn't ask if it was too hasty or anything else, it seemed that even if he was asked to marry tomorrow, he didn't have any objections.

"Don't blame your grandpa..."

Only then did Chi Jingyuan raise his head, and interrupted Grandpa's words, his brows were full of heroism, his eyes were clear, "I never blamed Grandpa, I know he was trying to keep me alive."

"That's good... This is good." The grandfather sighed, patted Chi Jingyuan on the shoulder, and walked into the house.

Within a week, the Chi family became lively at a speed visible to the naked eye. The Chi family members who were on the go were called back, and even Chi Jingyuan's doors and windows were pasted with the word "囍".

"Brother! I'm back." The door of Chi Jingyuan's room was pushed open, and a tall and thin boy ran over and hugged him.

He was wearing a hooded sweater, ripped jeans, and sneakers, and his flaxen hair was fluffy and soft, flying with his movements.

There was a smile in Chi Jingyuan's eyes, "I've grown taller."

"Really? I also think I've grown taller, but my parents don't believe it, and I'm so mad." He hugged Chi Jingyuan, puffed up his cheeks angrily, looking extremely cute.

"I heard that you came back. I ran to the house to see that there was no one there, and then I ran over. You are indeed here." Chi Ruian dragged Chi Jingyuan to talk endlessly, and asked him to sleep with him at night .

Chi Jingyuan patted his head and said, "No, I'm used to sleeping alone."

Chi Ruian hesitated and said: "Brother, are you unwilling to go back because of your parents? Actually, they both miss you very much. Let's have dinner together at night. You haven't seen your parents for a long time. "

Chi Jingyuan frowned, and rejected Chi Ruian again. Chi Ruian acted like a baby and stalked him for a long time. Finally, he couldn't bear to see his younger brother unhappy, so he had no choice but to agree. It was just a meal, and it didn't take much time.

Even though he thought so, he really didn't expect that the time for a meal would be so difficult.

He couldn't remember how many years he hadn't been back to his parents' house. The decoration of the house seemed to have been refurbished, and every decoration could be seen from the owner's care for the house, which was warm and happy.

However, Chi Jingyuan sat at the dining table like an unexpected visitor. The three of them had a complete set of bowls and chopsticks, and he was the only one holding the guests' bowls and chopsticks. Uncomfortably embarrassing.

Chi's father and Chi's mother neither dared to offend him nor wanted to get close to him, so they could only sit awkwardly at the dining table and eat without saying a word.

"Brother, try this dish, mom's specialty, it's delicious." Chi Ruian put a piece of meat for Chi Jingyuan into his bowl.

Chi Jingyuan tasted it, and said flatly, "Mmm, it's delicious."

"Right, I love eating this dish. Once I had a high fever in the middle of the night, and I wanted to eat this dish made by my mother. My mother ran back from the hospital and made it for me. I packed it in an insulated bucket and sent it to the ward. In the end, the doctor said that I had a high fever and could not eat, it was too miserable."

Chi's mother glared at Chi Ruian, "You still have the nerve to say, I told you not to eat it, but you didn't listen. You have to ask the doctor to tell you before you give up."

Although the words are full of blame, but the tone and expression are full of love.

Chi Ruian stuck out his tongue, "I can't help it, I just wanted to eat it at that time."

"Your mother and I were really tormented that night." Father Chi joined the conversation between the two of them, and only Chi Jingyuan ate with indifference.

After dinner, Chi Ruian pulled Chi Jingyuan and said to Chi's mother, "Mom, let brother stay tonight."

Mother Chi glanced at him, "There is no extra room at home, and the main house is not far away."

"Then let my brother live with me, my room is very big." Chi Ruian took Chi's mother's hand and acted like a baby with her.

"If you are willing to let him live with you, he may not be willing." Mother Chi knew her son's temperament, and she couldn't persuade her. Let him touch Chi Jingyuan's nail, and then she will turn around.

Chi Ruian puffed up his cheeks, his brother wanted his mother to speak because he didn't want him to.

"Brother, can I go play with you tomorrow?" Chi Ruian held Chi Jingyuan's hand, staring at him with wide almond eyes.

Chi Jingyuan raised his hand and touched his head, "Okay."

"Brother, you're so kind." Chi Ruian hugged him and waved goodbye to him.

Walking to the empty street, Chi Jingyuan felt a bit chilly, the dim street lights were flickering, probably broken.

A black shadow shot out from the corner of the wall like an arrow, and hit Chi Jingyuan's back.
