In Beijing in autumn, the sky is clear and green, and the sun is dry and warm, making it a rare and comfortable season of the year.

When Ji Bai and Xu got off the plane, there were already several cars waiting on the apron: at home, grandpa's house, Shu Hang and a few kids standing next to the car with a smile.

This attitude made Xu Xu look at Ji Bai and he has always been low-key, but today he mobilized many troops, so he was naturally intentional.

She followed his arrangements.

Ji Bai was wearing a black windbreaker she bought today. The neat tailoring and clean colors made him look taller and slender, and his whole body exuded a handsome and refreshing smell. As if he could detect Xu Xu's thoughts, he silently held her little hand tightly and walked towards everyone with a faint smile.

After Shu Hang hugged Ji Bai, he saw Xu Xu, and he deliberately nodded and curled and flattered: "Sister-in-law, you are here, the capital is full of glory." "Don't go back when you come, everyone is thinking about you."

Xu Xu couldn't get along with these slick mouths, so he just smiled shyly. Ji Bai hugged her waist and knocked on Shu Hang's hood: "Let's go to grandpa's house first, and we'll find you to get together in two days."

"Sister-in-law, you can eat and play whatever you want. Make a list. Brothers and I will go through fire and water and pick the stars in the sky for you..."

Xu Xu couldn't help laughing, and Ji Bai also laughed: "It's not your turn to pick stars for her, let's go."

The car ran on the road and soon arrived at my grandfather's house.

This is a quiet courtyard in the city, with the sycamore trees hidden in the courtyard and the corridor is deep. Ji Bai carried the gift and held Xu Xu's hand and walked straight in. The guards and nanny were all acquaintances who had been using for many years. When they saw him, they smiled: "Ji Bai is back? Is this a girlfriend?"

Ji Bai smiled and nodded, asked Xu Xu to call people one by one, and then asked, "Where is grandpa?"

"The commander woke up from his nap and was basking in the sun in the backyard. I have been waiting for you for a long time."

Xu Xu and Ji Bai stepped into the backyard and saw an old man sitting in a chair under a tree. The sun shrouded his whole body. He was wearing a very ordinary blue shirt and loose cotton pants, and he looked quiet and kind.

Ji Bai walked over, leaned down, and said softly: "Grandpa, I'll take Xu Xu back to see you."

The old man was very happy to see him: "It's good to come back..." He slowly looked up at Xu Xu.

Xu Xu also looked at him. The old man is over 80 years old, but his figure is as tall and strong as Ji Bai. On his wrinkled face, he could vaguely see a handsome outline similar to Ji Bai. This made Xu Xu feel a warm and intimate feeling in his heart, and he thought silently: If Ji Bai is old, he will be quite charming.

Ji Bai turned to look at Xu Xu: "Call Grandpa."

Xu Xu: "Hello, grandpa."

Grandpa nodded very gently and asked Xu Xu's age, studies, and family situation. When she heard that her father was a professor, she said to Ji Bai: "I will go back to ask your elder brother to visit Lin City and visit me on my behalf. You must not lose your etiquette." Seeing that his grandfather's attitude was like this, Ji Bai had something to worry about, and nodded with a smile. Xu Xu's mood gradually became full of emotion.

After a while, grandpa smiled and asked again, "Little girl, what do you like about our three boys?"

Xu Xu thought for a moment and replied: "All."

Ji Bai, who was standing beside him, smiled, and grandfather was stunned and laughed too.

Xu Xu said it was just what he said. When he saw them laughing, he further explained: "I like him the most, he is firm in will, open-minded and calm, and he does not change his ideals due to worldly vision. He can maintain his original heart in front of anything. A gentleman is open and has a high character. He is a very suitable life companion in my heart."

When Ji Bai came out of his grandfather's house, he was in a good mood. He held Xu Xu's shoulders and looked at the vast Beijing city under the twilight. He felt so quiet and comfortable.

Xu Xu met his parents for the first time. Although he was almost at ease, he couldn't help asking: "Your grandpa... has a good impression of me?"

Ji Bai looked at her and the scene of a conversation with his grandfather just appeared in his mind.

The grandfather and grandson haven't seen each other for many days, and they have some thoughts to say. Xu Xu naturally understood, and after a while, he left the front hall to rest.

The grandfather and grandson said for a while, and then talked about Xu Xu. Grandpa said lovingly: "Xu Xu is a good child. I am very happy and relieved if you bring her back."

He squatted down, held his grandfather's hand, and whispered: "Grandpa, I want to marry her and live a lifetime with her. In the future, I will give you a few smart and lovely great-grandchildren, you must like it very much."

...

Thinking of this, Ji Bai lowered his head and kissed her. There were drivers and guards in the front row. Xu Xu froze slightly, embarrassed to make too much noise, so he could only silently hide in his arms and let him ravage his red lips repeatedly.

Ji Bai kissed her red face, then smiled and said, "Do you have a good impression? Just think about the amount of the red envelope he gave?"

Ji Bai's father was in business, so his family did not settle in the military compound, but lived in the Xiangshan villa in the western suburbs. When Ji Bai and Xu Xu arrived, it was already dark, the distant mountains were hazy and quiet, and the villa surrounded by green forests was brightly lit.

When Ji Bai and Xu Xu walked into the living room, they saw the sofa full of people. When they heard the movement, they looked up at them, and several others stood up to greet them.

After seeing the photos of Ji's family, Xu Xu recognized everyone at a glance.

The first one to stand up was Ji Er and his wife. They smiled kindly, and there was a boy of seven or eight years old standing beside them, looking at Xu Xu curiously;

The eldest brother slowly got up. His appearance was a little tougher than Ji Bai, his expression was light, but his eyes were gentle. The eldest sister-in-law stood up with him and smiled politely at Xu Xu.

Sitting in the middle, Ji Bai's parents were naturally Ji Bai's parents. Ji's father was tall, elegant and smiling, nodding at Xu Xu. Ji's mother wore a dark blue dress, diamond necklace and earrings. She had a very well-maintained face and was light and exquisitely made-up. Her eyes quietly passed by Xu Xu, and her smile was faint.

Ji Bai was in a good mood, holding Xu Xu's hand, introducing one by one, greeting everyone, and sitting down for dinner.

The meal was basically smooth.

The father and son haven't gotten together for some days, and poured wine, even the introverted elder brother talked more. Everyone asked about Xu Xu's situation from time to time, and she answered one by one, calm and gentle, with a moderate attitude, and the atmosphere was very good.

The only thing that talks less was Ji's mother, who only occasionally laughed at her with a few words, and never asked Xu Xu any questions.

It was almost ten o'clock in the blink of an eye, and the men's drinking talk was still not getting worse. My sister-in-law and the second sister-in-law smiled and said that she couldn't bear it anymore, so she went to the room to sleep first. Ji Bai also put down the wine glass and held Xu Xu's hand: "We have to drink for a while, do you go to bed first?"

Xu Xu nodded, Ji Bai looked at his mother: "Mom, have Xu Xu's room been arranged?"

The mother replied casually: "The arrangement is done." She called the servant: "You take her there. Are the things in the room ready?" The servant replied yes.

Xu Xu stood up and his eyes ran into Ji's mother. She smiled gratefully, while Ji's mother calmly turned her eyes away.

It was already twelve o'clock after drinking that night. Ji Bai and his elder brother helped their father back to their room and happened to see their mother open the door and walk out. The mother and son's eyes intersected in the air. Ji Bai smiled: "Mom, dad has drunk too much, you can rest early."

Ji's mother nodded and didn't say anything.

After relocating his father, the two brothers walked out, the eldest brother smiled and patted Ji Bai on the shoulder, and went back to his room.

Ji Bai also smiled.

Although the mother did not express her direct statement, there were also many hospitality etiquettes. However, she did not welcome Xu Xu's attitude, and anyone could tell. This made Ji Bai not that comfortable, especially when he thought of Xu Xu's kind-hearted smile at his mother just now, it made him feel a little sad.

But he doesn't plan to talk to his mother for the time being.

He knew how stubborn his mother was. He still had a knot in his heart about a police academy, and it was useless to communicate with him. Now his mother seemed very dissatisfied with Xu Xu. It was impossible to convince him for a while. Instead, it might be clear that he intensified the conflict, and in the end he was even disrespectful to face, which embarrassed Xu Xu.

Ji Bai now understands that not all conflicts must be resolved head-on overnight. After taking Xu Xu to see his relatives this time, he decided to set his name down, and his purpose has been achieved. He planned to communicate with his mother on the eve of leaving. If the talks collapse, he would leave immediately and would not involve Xu Xu.

As for the future, he will slowly work hard. When the two get married and have children, people's hearts will be full of flesh, so the mother will naturally accept it.

Ji Bai went to the servant to get the room key again.

Xu Xu's room was pitch black. She curled up in the quilt, revealing her small head, and was already asleep. Ji Bai lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and turned to leave the room.

The next day, the eldest brother and the second brother left early in the morning, with only Ji Bai and Xuxu and their parents left at home.

The breakfast was prepared with tofu brain, steamed buns and soy milk. Xu Xu never liked the northern breakfast. The tofu brain was a little oily and a little salty. The steamed buns tasted no taste and had no appetite at all. In the end, he only drank a bottle of soy milk.

Ji Bai saw it, hurriedly ate some, and then pulled her up: "I'll take Xu Xu out for a walk."

Ji Bai drove Xu Xu to a Cantonese restaurant for breakfast. Seeing her drinking porridge quietly, Ji Bai touched her hair: "I feel wronged."

Xu Xu looked at him sideways: "It's okay. So how can we solve this problem?"

Ji Baijing replied for a moment: "I will deal with my mother. You don't have to worry about it at all, and you don't have to care. Just do the basic etiquette."

The next few days were calm. Xu Xu followed Ji Bai and met Ji Bai and went out to play with Shu Hang and others, and lived a comfortable and comfortable life every day. As a result, he didn't spend much time with Ji's mother, and Ji Bai was basically with him. However, Ji's mother's attitude was very clear and hospitality was in place, and she ignored her indifferently.

It was soon the day before departure. Ji Bai didn't arrange anything on this day, so he stayed with Xu Xu at home and packed his luggage.

In the afternoon, Ji Baizheng played chess with his father and his cell phone rang.

"Mr. Ji, the diamond ring you booked has arrived in Beijing."

Ji Bai immediately smiled, looked at Xu Xu who was packing his luggage in the room, and walked to the corner where no one was on the way with his cell phone.

The other party asked: "When will it be convenient for you to see? We will send a special person to your house."

Ji Bai smiled and replied: "I'll drive over to pick it up now."

Ji Bai just said that Shu Hang had something urgent to ask him, so he went out. Xu Xu packed his luggage and thought that Ji Bai had not cleaned it upstairs to go to his room.

As soon as he walked in, he saw Ji's mother sitting by the bed, folding clothes into his box one by one. Hearing the footsteps, Ji's mother turned her head, glanced at her faintly, and put down what she was in her hand: "You can clean up when you come."

She got up and wanted to leave, and Xu Xu hesitated and said, "Auntie, thank you and uncle for your hospitality these days. Thank you very much. We will leave tomorrow. I will see you with Ji Bai next time I have the chance to take care of you. If you have the opportunity to go to Lin City, I will do my best to do my best as a landlord and take you two for a good trip."

These words were said respectfully and politely, and they would not be too intimate and attentive. But Ji's mother looked at her quietly, with a hint of sarcasm flashing in her eyes: "Thank you. But I won't go to Lin City."

Xu Xu originally wanted to be polite in courtesy, but Ji's mother really thought it was a point. Seeing her walking towards the door, Xu Xu was silent for a moment and said, "Auntie, can we talk?"

Mother Ji paused and turned to look at her.

If it were someone else at this moment, Xu Xu would not have the patience to win the other party’s approval, and if it comes or goes, it will not work.

But now this person is Ji Bai's mother.

Although Ji Bai told her not to care about anything and leave everything to him. But in the past few days, she has seen Ji's mother's attitude. It is fake to say that she doesn't care, and she feels a little uncomfortable and wronged. Moreover, she doesn't like this kind of interpersonal relationship that looks polite but is actually cold. But for her, this experience is a strange boyfriend's mother who doesn't like her, what should she do?

And if she doesn't get her recognition, Ji Bai will actually feel regretful and uncomfortable, right? If it can make her change, she is willing to work hard.

Xu Xu has no experience with female elders, but for her, the ultimate solution to any complex problem is simple and efficient.

She decided to communicate directly with Ji's mother.

After pondering for a moment, she said gently: "Auntie, Ji Bai often mentions you and uncle to me. In his heart, you are not only parents, but also people he respects very much. He said that you have achieved great achievements in your respective fields of life and career. I am really happy to see you and other family members this time."

Ji's mother looked at her and stopped talking.

Xu Xu continued: "I know that Ji Bai is a policeman, and you have always been a little regretful. I can understand your idea. Because children who grew up in this family environment, being a policeman means suffering a lot of hardships that you have never experienced before. You care about him and cherish him.

However, over the years, Ji Bai has been working very hard. You may not have seen anyone in Beijing, and Ji Bai will not tell you that he works very hard. Sometimes he can't sleep well for many days and can't eat a full meal. He often solves the case and gets exhausted. The hard work of the criminal police, especially the hard work of the criminal police captain, is unimaginable to ordinary people."

Ji's mother's face changed slightly.
