Chapter 147 Due Date: January th
Before going to City A.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan went to the Yang family for a dinner party.

When Yang Ying learned that Yuan Xi was going to City A, she was reluctant to let him go. "Xin'er, you must take good care of yourself in City A. If you have any grievances, remember to tell us. Mom and Dad will always be your support."

Yuan Xi just nodded lightly.

Huo Shiyan said: "My grandmother has loved Xiaoxi since she was a child, and she would definitely not let her suffer any grievances. The greatest grievances Xiaoxi has suffered in her life... are all in the Chu family."

Yang Ying's face looked a little grim, but what Huo Shiyan said was right. She and Chu Qing felt nothing but guilt...

After having lunch at Yang's house.

Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan went to Jinyan Village, not far from Ruo Lake, to visit Liang's grandparents.

The village where Liang's grandparents lived was also demolished, and his uncle and aunt moved to the same community as Chen Yuan's parents.

My grandparents are old and have lived in the village all their lives, so it is difficult for them to adapt to life in the city.

So Uncle Liang arranged for the two elders to live in a two-story house in the village, and brought Liang Hao back to live with them on weekends.

Yuan Xi hadn't seen Liang Hao for a long time. He seemed to have grown up a lot, shedding his childishness and becoming humble and polite.

"Grandpa, grandma, I came here today to tell you that Shi Yan and I are going to City A. I may not be able to come back to see you very often in the future."

Grandma Liang said, "If you encounter any problems in City A, remember to call us."

Yuan Xi said: "Okay, I want to visit my parents' graves later. I won't be in Jiangcheng during the winter solstice this year."

Grandma Liang said hurriedly: "You can't go to the cemetery when you are pregnant."

Yuan Xi said: "It's okay."

Grandma Liang held Yuan Xi's hand and said, "You can't go, just let Xiaohao take Shiyan to help you visit the grave. The baby in your belly is important. Pregnant women have to observe some taboos in the cemetery."

Huo Shiyan said from the side: "Well, don't go, I'll go to the grave for you."

Although the winter solstice is still about a month away, the small shops in the village have already started selling items for tomb-sweeping ceremonies.

Yuan Xi didn't understand these things. She had been busy with work in recent years and seldom went to the cemetery. Every year, she would get off work early because of the winter solstice and go to the grave in the afternoon. Yuan Xi would replace the visit with a bouquet of flowers.

This year, Grandma Liang was there, and she told Huo Shiyan and Liang Hao to toast first and then burn various kinds of paper money.

Yuan Xi was also worried that Huo Shiyan would be impatient. After all, she was born and raised here and didn't have the patience to follow the rules of the older generation. Huo Shiyan might also feel superstitious after having lived abroad for many years.

However, Huo Shiyan remembered it more seriously than her, and even recorded Grandma Liang's request, which was half in dialect and half in Mandarin, on his mobile phone.

"Shi Yan, remember to ask Xiao Xi's parents to bless Xiao Xi so that she can give birth safely."

Huo Shiyan also took note of it.

Yuan Xi was pulled by Grandma Liang and only stayed at home to talk to her.

Grandma Liang said worriedly, "Will their family bully you when you go to City A?"

Yuan Xi smiled and shook her head: "Grandma, I haven't told you that Shi Yan is Zhuangzhuang, the grandson of Grandma Shi, who played with us when we were young."

Grandma Liang said, "It's actually him. He doesn't look like him! He was white and strong like a pig when he was young. How come he has become so good-looking and handsome now?"

Yuan Xi nodded and said, "It's Brother Zhuangzhuang, so don't worry, his family members are all very nice to me."

Grandma Liang said, "As long as I treat you well, that's all."

Yuan Xi's cell phone rang. She answered it and it was a video call from Qin Lang. When she answered it, she saw Huo Shiyan in the cemetery.

Huo Shiyan took the phone from Qin Lang's hand and asked, "Do you have anything to say to your parents?"

Liang Hao said from the side: "Cyber ​​tomb sweeping?"

Yuan Xi smiled softly and saw the photos of her parents on the tombstone. Yuan Xi said, "Dad, Mom, don't worry. I am very happy now."

Liang Hao inserted the incense into the incense burner, knelt down and kowtowed, then he gave the incense to Huo Shiyan.

Huo Shiyan took three incense sticks and knelt down and kowtowed like Liang Hao.

Yuan Xi was quite moved when she saw Huo Shiyan kneeling and kowtowing in the video. When Grandma Liang saw this scene, she was both sad and relieved. She was sad to see her daughter's fate, but she was relieved that Huo Shiyan, a big CEO now, would kneel and worship.

After Huo Shiyan and Liang Hao came back, Yuan Xi held Huo Shiyan's hand as soon as he walked out the door, "Thank you."

Huo Shiyan said: "I should do it."

After dinner at Liang's house, the two returned to Jiangyan Villa. Yuan Xi and Huo Shiyan's luggage was casual, and they could buy more when they arrived in City A.

However, new baby products are not necessarily better. The baby products in Jiangyan Villa are also brand new but formaldehyde has been removed, so there are still a lot of things to be moved to City A.

When leaving Jiangyan Villa, Yuan Xi looked at this house where he had lived for only a short time and actually felt a little reluctant to leave.

Arrived in City A.

Huo Shiyan did not plan to live in the old house, but to live in Yunsen Court, a villa area not far from the old house.

Huo Shiyan's parents also live in this community, but they are a little far away. One is in the southeastern part of the community, and the other is in the northwest part. It takes about ten minutes to walk to each other.

For Huo Shiyan, this distance is just right. After all, Yuan Xi is in the late stage of pregnancy and really cannot be left without someone to take care of her.

Huo Shiyan was afraid that he would not be able to come back in time if something happened outside, so Shi Zhen lived nearby and could help take care of him, but they would not affect each other's daily life.

Yuan Xi did not ask the nanny to come and clean the bedroom. As she is a little bit of a germaphobe, she still prefers to clean the bedroom herself.

Yuan Xi heard a sound coming from downstairs and said to Huo Shiyan, "There seems to be a sound downstairs."

Huo Shiyan walked to the spiral staircase and saw the people below and chuckled, "Long time no see."

Xu Zhou said: "It's been a long time since we last met. I saw the moving company's car entering the community, and when I asked, I realized it was you who came back."

Yuan Xi came out of the bedroom suite and said, "Time delay."

Huo Shiyan took Yuan Xi's hand and went downstairs.

Yuan Xi saw two tall men in front of her, one lively and the other calm. They didn't look very old, and seemed to be about the same age as her.

Huo Shiyan: "Let me introduce you. This is Xu Zhou, the president of Qihang Technology. This is Wen Zhuo, the vice president of Renwen Pharmaceutical. He is my elementary school classmate and college classmate."

Yuan Xi extended his hand and said with a professional smile: "Hello."

Xu Zhou held Yuan Xi's hand and said, "Sister Xiao Xi?"

Yuan Xi smiled faintly and nodded.

Wen Zhuo also shook hands with Yuan Xi and said, "Xiao Xi...sister, hello."

Yuan Xi glanced at Huo Shiyan. There was really no one around him who didn't know about Sister Xiao Xi...

Xu Zhou looked at Yuan Xi's belly and asked, "Is she about to give birth?"

Huo Shiyan nodded: "Well, the due date is around January 1th, which is only one and a half months away."

Wen Zhuo's eyes flashed with a hint of discomfort: "Congratulations."

Xu Zhou said: "Shi Yan, you like to be ahead in everything, even pregnancy and childbirth."

Yuan Xi smiled faintly and asked, "What would you like to drink?"

Xu Zhou: "Don't bother, we just came to take a look. When you are free another day, we can have a meal together."

Yuan Xi responded: "Okay."

After Xu Zhou and Wen Zhuo left, Yuan Xi said to Huo Shiyan, "That Wen Zhuo looks familiar to me, as if I've seen him somewhere before."

Huo Shiyan said: "Wen Zhuo and Xu Zhou were my elementary school classmates. Later, they applied to the same university. When they were in college, they both lived in my house."

Yuan Xi: "But, this Wen Zhuo looks really familiar to me."

Huo Shiyan: "Maybe I met him at a dinner party?"

Yuan Xi: “Maybe.”
