Chapter 229 The wooden box sent back by my aunt

Seeing Chen Hanyu quit his job and stay at home, Bai Xiao first thought of the three words "unspoken rules".

Unspoken rules originally refer to behavioral constraints that people recognize privately, and are behaviors that social actors spontaneously form during interactions, which can reduce conflicts and reduce transaction costs by all parties involved in interactions. However, with the increasing evolution of workplace culture, the most well-known unspoken rules are to provide paid services in order to get promotion or make transactions successful.

Of course, this kind of bad habit is often the one who is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten. Bai Xiao doesn’t know how to evaluate it. For example, if you provide deep-seated services for a fee, it is a bad trend in the industry. It is undeniable that most of the industries in all walks of life are diligent and self-disciplined people, but the so-called rat shit is ruined, and there are indeed many people in the industry who do not use any means to achieve their goals.

Did Chen Hanyu also encounter unspoken rules? As a chaste woman, she was unwilling to surrender, so she angrily resigned and was unemployed at home?

This possibility flashed through Bai Xiao's mind, but soon, she found that she was slapped in the face.

Chen Hanyu shook her head and said that it was not because she was forced or because she was too intense in her work, she felt physically and mentally exhausted. But she just simply didn't want to do this job!

Bai Xiao didn't know what to say about this.

...

Jiangnan University of Technology.

After nearly half an hour of driving, Chen Fan drove into the campus in the White Roewe 550. After several transfers, he went to the bottom of the building in the family area, and then parked the car into the parking space. He got out of the car with Bai Xiao, Chen Hanyu and the others.

The family area is located in Jiangnan University of Technology, but it is actually separated from the real campus by a fence net. On one side of the net is the old family building - an old community with a bit of age, with old trees and green surroundings; on the other side, there are three or four small plastic basketball courts. There is access control in the middle. Bai Xiao and others walked along the fence net, but they saw many students who stayed in school in the summer playing basketball on the basketball court.

Chen Fan helped her cousin drag her suitcase very gentlemanly, and Chen Hanyu also helped Bai Xiao carry some health care gifts he bought. There were not many things, but it also prevented Bai Xiao and Shen Hanyu from being empty-handed.

Several people walked in the family area surrounded by green vines and old trees. Under the shadow of half the wall, the noon sun shone, which made people look mottled and nostalgic.

Smelling the faint smell of soil in the air, every grass, tree, brick and tile around it all gave Bai Xiao a particularly friendly feeling. Unfortunately, he was no longer a young man when he revisited the old place. Looking at the young people passing by quietly looking at her, she sighed that many things were indeed different.

At this time, Ji Chufeng had already organized a table of good dishes in the small courtyard of the family who was a geology expert at Jiangnan University of Technology. After a busy morning, he had already organized a table of good dishes. When he learned that Bai Xiao was coming today, he could say that he was full of anticipation.

"My wife, have Xiaoxiao and the others arrived yet?" Ji Chufeng asked after coming out of the kitchen and saw Chen Xing, who was looking at academic journals in the living room.

Chen Xing raised his head and said, "Xiaoyu just sent a text message saying that the person had received it, and now they are almost at school."

"Oh, I'll be able to see her soon after that, which is really exciting." Ji Chufeng said with a smile, and Chen Xing nodded, "Yes, Xiaoxiao, I really didn't expect her to become a girl before."

"Zi doesn't say that strange powers are in chaos, but there are too many unexplainable phenomena in the world. Confucius is also a mortal, and maybe there are things he doesn't know. I just don't know if Xiaoxiao looks the same as in the photo." Ji Chufeng said jokingly. After seeing Bai Xiao's photos, the two elders thought that Bai Xiao looked very much like her mother Chen Xiyan, especially her eyes, which were clear, agile, and transparent, just like Chen Xiyan.

Chen Xing smiled and said, "It must be the same. I think Xiaoxiao is very smart. Maybe it's a bit more beautiful in reality because of the distortion of the photos."

"That's a pity. The photos nowadays are said to have a beauty function. Even if you are a middle-aged man, you can still take pictures of charming and charming." Ji Chufeng retorted with a smile.

"Okay, you think Xiaoxiao is too beautiful, and you wish she was a bit ugly than in the photos." Chen Xing patted the geological journal in his hand and joked. Of course, he knew that his wife was just a joke, and who didn't want his granddaughter to look good? "Anyway, she is coming soon. Would you know it after taking a look?"

"Yes, it's really exciting." Ji Chufeng smiled.

While speaking, a sound came from the door.

Chen Xing, Ji Chufeng and the other elders looked at each other, and Chen Xing put down the academic journal in his hand and walked towards the door with Ji Chufeng.

When he opened the door, there were indeed Bai Xiao, Chen Fan and Chen Hanyu standing at the door.

"Grandpa, grandma..."

"Grandpa, grandma!"

The three of them called each other, Chen Fan and Shen Hanyu shouted loudly, and Bai Xiao might have weakened his voice because of guilt, but the soft and delicate voice also attracted the attention of the two elders. Chen Xing and Ji Chufeng looked at them and responded with a smile. Then his eyes fell on Bai Xiao, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

Although I have seen Bai Xiao’s photos before, seeing the real person at this moment still makes them feel like time flies, as if it was not Bai Xiao who was standing at the door, but their daughter Chen Xiyan. Of course, reality tells them that the young and beautiful girl in front of them is their granddaughter. Although Bai Xiao looks similar to Chen Xiyan in many places, there are still big differences.

Bai Xiao felt a little embarrassed by the two elders, and only felt a sense of embarrassment on his face.

At this moment, Chen Xing nodded with a smile, "No, not bad, come... Xiaoxiao, Xiaofan, Xiaoyu, let's go into the house and talk." As he said that, he enthusiastically picked up the three of them into the door.

Bai Xiao and the other two did as they did and followed them into the house.

Chen Fan put the suitcase to the free corner of the living room, and Bai Xiao and Shen Hanyu handed the gifts they bought to grandma Ji Chufeng. Of course, grandma smiled and blamed them for buying so many things, but she still accepted them happily, and asked Bai Xiao and the others to go to the table to have dinner first, while she took the gifts and put them aside and put them aside to put them away.

"How about it, the real person is more beautiful than in the photo, right?" Chen Xing said quietly to his wife.

Ji Chufeng nodded and glanced at Bai Xiao not far away. At this time, Bai Xiao had taken off her sunshade and was sitting gracefully at the dining table waiting for the meal.

Seeing her performance, Ji Chufeng couldn't help but praise: "He is indeed very beautiful, and he is also elegant in behavior, and his figure is quite good."

"Don't worry now." Chen Xing laughed.

Ji Chufeng glanced at me, "What do I have to worry about? I know whether Xiaoxiao is beautiful or not. Where is her parents' foundation? How ugly can it be?"

Chen Xing smiled and stopped talking.

The two elders returned to the restaurant and sat down, Chen Xing smiled and said, "Now everyone is here, let's have a meal first."

Ji Chufeng sat next to Bai Xiao, and after hearing the sound, he opened a box of juice, and smiled and prepared to pour a cup of Bai Xiao.

Bai Xiao quickly said, "Grandma, I can just come by myself."

Songjiang City belongs to the coast of the East China Sea. The local dialect is graceful and delicate, integrating the essence of Wuyue language and culture. When Bai Xiao talks with the two elders, he naturally brings Songjiang's local tone, so the voice sounds particularly nice.

Ji Chufeng smiled and shook her head, "Don't move, it will spill outside later."

Bai Xiao no longer forced her. Many times, the etiquette was enough. The elders must pour her drinks or drinks, and it is appropriate to accept it calmly.

Of course, Ji Chufeng personally poured drinks for his younger generation, and only Bai Xiao could enjoy such treatment. Chen Fan and Shen Hanyu were very self-aware, so Chen Fan picked up another box of juice and poured it for himself and his sister.

The next session started. This family gathering was largely set up because of Bai Xiao’s arrival, and the topic of the meal was naturally inseparable from Bai Xiao. So Bai Xiao naturally became the well-deserved protagonist, and Chen Fan and Shen Hanyu were the green leaves that matched the red flowers.

A table of good dishes is mainly seafood, and the top one is one of the butter crabs. There are four butter crabs in this plate. The so-called butter crab is the king of the blue crabs. It is named because the whole crab is filled with butter made of crab paste and the crab body is orange-yellow.

While eating and eating butter crabs, Bai Xiao responded to the care from her grandparents and answered their questions from time to time, elegant and yet demeanor. Seeing Chen Xing and Ji Chufeng nodded repeatedly, praising her as a ladylike lady. Bai Xiao naturally smiled faintly and accepted it with a happy smile.

After dinner, Chen Hanyu was called by Ji Chufeng to clean up the mess in the kitchen, while Bai Xiao was called up to the stairs by his grandfather Chen Xing.

The Shen family's residence was assigned by the school back then, and the houses were decades old. The layout at that time was naturally a bit outdated now, but in that era, it was also very decent to have a good residence. What's more, Chen Xing and Ji Chufeng were both "leaders" in the academic field, so the houses assigned were naturally not bad.

When he arrived at the study, Bai Xiao was guessing the purpose of his grandfather calling him to come up.

She knew from her grandfather Bai Sihong that her grandparents knew the truth about her transformation, so this time she asked herself to come up, and there were probably some secret matters to explain.

Sure enough, after Chen Xing entered the study, he brought the door slightly.

Then he walked straight to the wall on one side of the study and took out a wooden box from the bookshelf.

"Grandpa, this is..." Bai Xiao looked at him in surprise.

"This is sent back by your aunt a few days ago." Chen Xing rubbed the box made of pear blossom trees with his hands, and saw that the box was carved with landscape insects and beasts on the surface. The carvings were so exquisite that it was reluctant to leave.

Of course, for Bai Xiao, what she is interested in is not the box itself. To be honest, she does not have such artistic cells yet. What she cares about is what exactly is contained in this wooden box.

Her aunt Chen Xiya is a relatively mysterious person. In Bai Xiao’s impression, she hasn’t seen her for several years.

However, last time she learned from her father Bai Zhendong that her aunt Chen Xiya worked in the confidentiality department, and the pocket watch that caused her to transform was obtained by her mother Chen Xiyan from her aunt. In other words, her transformation was closely related to her aunt. Even if she was not the person involved, she must have known the inner situation. Therefore, since then, Bai Xiao’s understanding of her aunt has been misplaced. She always feels that her aunt is an amazing figure. So is there something magical in this wooden box sent back by her?

Chen Xing saw his granddaughter looking at Mu Xiangzi with interest, and chuckled softly, "Xiaoxiao, your grandmother and I know that the reason why you became a girl is the pocket watch that Xi Ya gave you. To be honest, if it weren't for seeing it with our own eyes, it would be hard for us to believe that there is such a magical thing in this world, but since things have happened and you can accept it happily, we are very pleased."

"This wooden box was sent back by your aunt not long ago. Because I guess the things in it may be very important to you, I have kept it for you since I received the wooden box she sent back."

Bai Xiao was shocked and asked, "Grandpa, what is her identity as my aunt?"

Chen Xing shook his head and said, "I don't know very well. I only know that she is a person who works in confidentiality and is usually busy. If there are more, it's not easy to ask more questions, which is a violation of discipline."

Bai Xiao nodded silently. She knew that in the eyes of her grandparents, discipline was very important, and violating discipline was a serious dereliction of duty.

"Xiaoxiao, since you understand, that's the best. Take the wooden box and grandpa go out first." As he said that, Chen Xing shook his head and gave the study to Bai Xiao.
