"Why so sudden?" Liu Nanshan asked.
"Yes," Gu Xuelan brought a plate of side dishes and placed it on the dining table, "I will notify you this afternoon and leave tomorrow morning. It is too late."
Liu Wang Xue put the dishes and chopsticks away: "I can't help it, I just invited you temporarily. "
The family of three sat down to eat, and Liu Nanshan sighed softly. He thought that the screenwriter would just write the script and then run around with the crew. He didn't expect that there would be such work in the future, and he would be constantly running around. , how tiring it is to be in such a hurry.
Liu Wangxue held the bowl, picked out a piece of fish, and asked with a smile: "Dad, why are you sighing like this?"
Gu Xuelan glanced at Liu Nanshan and explained for him: "Your father still feels sorry for you. He must be thinking in his heart now, oh, this screenwriter's job is not that easy. He usually racks his brains to write scripts. , the show has been broadcast and it’s still going on. It’s so tiring to go on a long trip to interview this person and that person!”
“No!” Liu Nanshan thought deeply.
Liu Wangxue laughed and comforted his old father: "I'm not tired at all. Besides, the notice fee is tens of thousands."
Liu Nanshan tapped his chopsticks on the edge of the bowl After a moment: "Is this a matter of money? Besides, you are not short of money now, and our family is not short of money. Writing scripts every day is tiring enough. Can't we save other work if we can?"
Gu Xuelan put a chopstick of vegetables into his bowl and advised him to eat quickly: "You said it's work, so you have to take responsibility for work."
"That's right," Liu Wangxue said with a smile, "Dad, you understand it as 'after-sales service', just like the dishwasher we are using now. Their customer service also called to ask about their experience and whether they have encountered any problems. Right?"
"I can't tell you!" Liu Nanshan took a bite of the rice and said, "Then eat quickly, go up and pack your luggage, and go to bed early. There will be no flight tomorrow. So early.”
"Okay!" Liu Wangxue nodded, "By the way, I will come back a few days later after work is over the day after tomorrow. Qingsong will celebrate his birthday next Tuesday and he will also return to Beijing. He has a friend who opened a resort in the suburbs of Beijing. Call him We went there to celebrate my birthday and we planned to spend two days there."
Liu Nanshan didn't think much about it: "Okay, pay attention to safety."
Gu Xuelan was very keen and asked her: "We want to go. Meet Qingsong’s family?”
Liu Wangxue nodded matter-of-factly: "It's his birthday, so he must go home."
Liu Nanshan just reacted, but his thoughts were running too fast, and a look of dissatisfaction appeared on his face: " Are you two going to settle things? "You have to talk to him as the parent first, right? After obtaining consent, the parents of both parties met and decided what the matter was like in private!
"Dad, where are you thinking?" Liu Wangxue put down her chopsticks before even taking a mouthful of rice, and couldn't help laughing, "I haven't had enough love, how can I get married?"
She said He also looked at Gu Xuelan and continued: "I'm just going to have a casual meal. Qingsong has already said that he gets along so well with you two here and they have become a family, so he also wants me to go over and experience their side. This family warmth. It happens to be his birthday. We had agreed that I would celebrate his birthday with him and also meet his family and friends. But by chance, I was also going to Beijing for work. "
Liu Nanshan. I thought, this is not bad Although there were many, but his face was still tense, he told his daughter: "It's a casual meal, but you still have to have the proper etiquette. When you meet his parents for the first time, you must not go empty-handed. You have to pick out the things and buy them. Do you understand?" ”
"I know, I know." Liu Wangxue just took a mouthful of rice and nodded in a vague voice.
After dinner, Liu Wangxue went upstairs to pack her luggage.
The three little ones seemed to be keenly aware that she was about to go out again, and they followed her upstairs. When they saw that she really took out the suitcase, they saw the right moment, and the moment she laid it flat and opened it, All jumped in together.
Liu Wangxue was so cute by the three pairs of eyes that her heart trembled, and she touched her head one by one: "We are trying the same old trick again, right? Okay, let's experience the world in the box this time."
After she finished speaking, she closed and opened the other half of the box and asked the three animals: "Is it particularly dark? Are you afraid of it?"
Pangpeng was wagging his tail, obviously very happy, and Xiaoci lay down lazily, jumping around and talking nonsense.
"Get ready, do it again." Liu Wangxue closed and opened it again.
This time it was different. Pengpeng followed the closing movement of the box and lay down. When Liu Wangxue opened it, the three of them all stood up following the movement and tilted their heads to look at her from the same angle.
Liu Wangxue was overjoyed: "Hide and seek, right? Hahaha..."
Close it and open it again, then change the action, and cover Xiaoci completely in his arms, He jumped over to cover the exposed piece of the cat's tail.
Liu Wangxue laughed loudly: "Hide and seek is equivalent to hiding the cats, hahaha..."
While laughing, he did not forget to take pictures with his mobile phone, and continued to play with them for a while before picking them up one by one. Take him out and start packing.
In the living room downstairs, Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan were sitting on the sofa and continuing to watch the show. However, she didn't pay much attention to the plot. She kept thinking about Liu Wangxue going to meet Xu Qingsong's family.
Although it was just a casual meal, it was also the first official meeting. Gu Xuelan couldn't help but worry because she was thinking about all sorts of things.
Xu Qingsong’s mother, Gu Xuelan, had met her once when they first came to buy this small courtyard. Her first impression of Xu Qingsong’s mother was very good. At first glance, she seemed to be from a scholarly family. The first person is knowledgeable and sensible. Xu Qingsong brought her a cashmere shawl when he returned from Beijing during the Mid-Autumn Festival. According to Xu Qingsong, his mother helped pick it out, which shows that the aesthetics are also good. The script Liu Wangxue is writing also has Xu Qingsong’s mother’s help.
Gu Xuelan felt that Xu Qingsong's mother had a good impression of Liu Wangxue, and maybe she liked him quite a bit. But none of them had ever met Xu Qingsong's father, nor his grandparents or relatives living there, so they didn't know what his temperament was like. Looking at Xu Qingsong, I think it should be fine, but exceptions cannot be ruled out.
Gu Xuelan thought, her daughter is so outstanding, beautiful and talented, and she is also generous, knowledgeable and reasonable, so she will not be disliked by others. But don’t be afraid of exceptions in everything!
The more Gu Xuelan thought about it, the more she couldn't sit still, so she got up and walked around Liu Nanshan, intending to go upstairs to give Liu Wangxue a few words.
Seeing her standing up, Liu Nanshan also made a gesture to get up and asked: "Why are you going? I will help you get anything you want."
"It's okay, you sit down." Gu Xuelan Waving his hand, "I'll go up to Xu Xu and have a few words with her."
"Oh, okay." Liu Nanshan sat back again.
About twenty minutes later, Xu Qingsong came back. He came to Liu Wangxue first, entered the living room door and greeted Liu Nanshan: "Uncle, where are you watching the show?"
"Hey," Liu Nanshan responded, "Are you done working overtime?"
"Well, for the time being," Xu Qingsong nodded, "we still have one day tomorrow. I'll come and see if Xu Xu has packed everything."
Liu Nanshan pointed to the stairs: "It's being packed upstairs. You are here, go up, your aunt is here too.”
The program development of the client game encountered some problems. Their program team has been working overtime for the past two days. They came back almost midnight the day before yesterday. After I came back yesterday, I didn’t even take a bite of dinner before I ran back again. Tomorrow, Saturday, we still have to work. go.
Xu Qingsong received a call from his mother Meng Wanqing at the beginning of the month, asking whether he would go back to Beijing or stay in Taojiacun for his birthday: "I know you are busy with work, so forget it if you can't come back. Your dad and I are retired anyway, and recently If nothing happens, we will discuss a trip back to Taojia Village. Let’s go have a look and celebrate your birthday together.”
Xu Qingsong heard his mother’s “cough” sound with some seriousness. ingredients, he smiled knowingly and asked: “Mom, what are you doing? Come back and see, you actually want to see someone else with my dad, right?”
As expected, dad Xu Chongshan was listening and laughed and cursed: “You bastard!”
Meng Wanqing also laughed and simply told the truth. "Oh, it's not your grandma and grandpa who are urging you so hard. They have more traditional ideas. Seeing that you and Xu Xu are so in love with each other and that you are both grown up, they want you to hurry up and do everything you need to do." ”
Xu Chongshan added: "The source of this matter is still you. Originally, your grandma and grandpa calmed down when they saw that they couldn't push you. It would be better for you to say something in our family group as soon as you caught the girl. If you want to bring someone back, your grandma and grandpa won't be in a hurry."
"You can't be so anxious!" Xu Qingsong was helpless and funny, "The old man and the old lady used to rush me directly. Now, you have to learn how to save the country, right? "To be honest, doesn't he want to? He thought so too, but he had to respect Liu Wangxue's thoughts.
“Moreover,” Meng Wanqing continued, “You haven’t even come back to the house that your uncle gave you. What do you mean the decoration has been completed?”
Xu Chongshan Said: "Don't think that we don't know if you hide it from us. Your cousin also recently renovated a new house. Guess what? The designer he hired is actually the same person as you. If you can find out some information through small talk, you can The cousins are all right."
Xu Qingsong quickly asked: "My grandma and grandpa also know it!"
Meng Wanqing said: "Don't worry, I've hidden it for you. The old man and the old lady don't know yet."
"That's good." Xu Qingsong breathed a sigh of relief.
Now that the conversation has come to this point, Xu Qingsong no longer hides it from his parents—it’s not really a secret. He wants to wait until his birthday is approaching before talking about it, for fear of telling him too much. It's early. After grandma and grandpa found out, it would be bad to follow their temperament and make a big "double happiness" event. He was worried that it would put pressure on Liu Wangxue.
Take Xu Qingsong’s cousin as an example. When he brought his cousin-in-law home for the first time, he told his family early in advance. He was the first among the younger generation to have good news, grandma. My grandpa and I would do it with great fanfare and grandeur.
Afterwards, Xu Qingsong heard from his cousin that her cousin was really frightened that day and was flustered throughout the meal because she had not yet decided whether to marry her cousin at that time. At that time, her cousin coaxed her to go home, that is, to have a casual meal: "I know you haven't thought about it yet, but you can't think about it here. After all, you have to meet my family first and include them in the investigation." Scope, if you are satisfied with the inspection, then make the decision to marry me, okay?”
“I really believed his eloquent words!” Later, when several of their contemporaries were chatting together to “reminisce about the past,” my cousin’s sister-in-law touched her chest when she talked about this, as if she was still frightened. "You don't know, that meal made me tremble from beginning to end. Jing Jing, my psychological pressure has soared after eating! "
To be honest, it was her first time to visit, and she was not unhappy to receive such attention from her boyfriend's family, but this attention was not unavoidable! It was so grand that she felt she couldn't bear it. When the old lady put a jade bracelet with excellent water quality on her wrist, she was in a trance, thinking that it was not a bracelet, but handcuffs, and that from now on she would be detained in the Meng family.
After Xu Qingsong told his parents on the phone that he was going back to Beijing for his birthday and that Liu Wangxue wanted to go back with him, he specifically brought up the matter of his cousin and sister-in-law, and told his father Mom: "You must not tell my grandma and grandpa in advance. Xu Xu finally agreed to go back with me. Let's have a normal meal first." "Fan, don't scare people, you can't rush into getting married."
Having said that, Xu Qingsong felt that Liu Wangxue would definitely not be scared, but he would definitely feel pressure. Not willing to let anything stress her out in any way, he wanted to wait for her to nod proactively when she thought it was okay.
Meng Wanqing and Xu Chongshan, including Xu Qingsong's grandparents, are very open-minded about whether he will get married or not. They believe that since the child is so old, it is up to him to make the decision in his life. Elders should not interfere too much, otherwise it will be easy. It was counterproductive, not to mention that they believed in him and had the ability to live a good life no matter what.
But when he heard that he wanted to settle down and have his own family in the future, Meng Wanqing and Xu Chongshan were also very happy. Young people have their own plans. They don’t rush them. When the time comes, everything will be fine. Everything will fall into place.
Meng Wanqing and Xu Chongshan responded repeatedly on the other end of the phone: "Don't worry, your parents will definitely help you 'coordinate'."
At this time, Xu Qingsong finished greeting Liu Nanshan He was about to tip his toes towards the stairs, but suddenly stopped. He remembered that he had not told Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan about taking Liu Wangxue to his house to meet his parents.
“Uncle,” Xu Qingsong was rarely nervous, “Well, there is something I haven’t told you yet.”
"What's the matter?" Liu Nanshan asked, waving to him again, "Oh, come and sit down and talk."
Xu Qingsong walked over and sat on the single sofa to the right of Liu Nanshan: " Well, it’s not my birthday next Tuesday, so I have to go home the day after tomorrow. It just so happens that Xu Xu is going to Beijing to record a program, so I want her to follow Let’s go home for a meal together. Well, my parents, my grandparents, and other relatives and elders at home really want to meet her.”
As soon as Xu Qingsong opened his mouth, Liu Nanshan knew that he was. When he was about to say something, he remained calm, waited for him to finish, and deliberately stared at him with sharp eyes, which made him feel terrified.
Xu Qingsong was very uneasy and was about to say something more when he saw that Liu Nanshan had already put away his gaze, with a smile on his face and said: "Ah, this is about it. Xu Xu had already followed me during dinner. I said it.”
Xu Qingsong asked cautiously: “So, do you and Auntie agree?”
"What's the point? It's just a meal." Liu Nanshan said, and then joked, "How many meals have you had at my place? We Xu Xu have to go to your house for a meal."
Xu Qingsong His heart suddenly relaxed, and he subconsciously loosened the hands he held together. He laughed along with Liu Nanshan and said, "After our birthday, we plan to spend two days in Beijing and then come back."
"Okay." Liu Nanshan responded, "You two are very busy at work, so you can take this opportunity to relax."
Xu Qingsong smiled happily: "Thank you, uncle!"
Liu Nanshan nodded and said seriously: "Qingsong, how much older are you than Xu Xu? If she doesn't understand something, please remind her and take good care of her for me and your aunt."
"Hey, don't worry, that's for sure!" Xu Qingsong promised.
Just as he was talking, Gu Xuelan came down from upstairs: "Qingsong is back, are you done?"
"Almost." Xu Qingsong stood up, "Uncle and aunt, I'll go up and take a look. Xu Xu."
"Okay, let's go." Gu Xuelan sat down and asked Liu Nanshan, "Where did it go?"
Liu Nanshan didn't answer, but looked at her face: " Finished explaining? ”
"Ah, I've finished all the instructions." Gu Xuelan nodded. Now she was in the mood to care about the plot, and urged Liu Nanshan to tell her, "This is what the TV station broadcasts. You can't go back at any time."
< br>Liu Wangxue's bedroom door was not closed. Xu Qingsong walked to the door and saw her standing in front of the closet, holding a piece of clothing in her hand and looking at it.
The three little ones immediately noticed that Xu Qingsong was coming, and Pengpeng was about to run towards him. He immediately raised his index finger to his lips, signaling Pengpeng Anjing not to make any move.
Pangpeng understood completely, and used his paws to press down Nie Nie who wanted to fly towards Xu Qing.
Niewei flapped her wings angrily: "Quee! Chirp! Let go! Let go quickly!"
Liu Wangxue was still looking at the clothes in her hand, without turning her head: "Xiaoci, Weiwei, don't fight."
Xiaoci, who was lying at the end of the bed, raised his head: "Meow. ~"It's not me!
Xu Qingsong was leaning against the door, looking at Liu Wangxue with a smile, and noticed that the clothes in her hands were a cheongsam. However, the lower part of the clothes seemed to be stacked in a gift box, and Liu Wangxue's arms blocked it a little. He could only see the red rims and milky white material on the shoulders and neck, and the material seemed to glow under the light. .
Liu Wangxue didn't notice anyone standing at the door at all. She was concentrating on thinking about a question, whether to wear this cheongsam or not. Thinking like this, I muttered it unconsciously.
Xu Qingsong heard clearly, the smile on his face widened, and he made the decision for her: "It's so beautiful, you can take it with you if you want."
When Liu Wangxue heard Xu Qingsong's voice, she was startled. Xun Sheng glanced at him quickly, hurriedly stuffed the cheongsam back into the box, and picked up the lid to close the box. However, it seems that the lid and the box body do not match each other at this time, and they cannot be put back on.
Seeing her obviously guilty look, Xu Qingsong wanted to laugh even more, and walked over: "What's wrong? This is, isn't it just a cheongsam? Why are you so panicked?"
Liu Wangxue felt anxious and simply pushed the crooked box lid and box body into the compartment of the wardrobe: "Where is it!"
Xu Qingsong Then he laughed and naturally reached over to pull the box out again: "Let me see it. I didn't see it clearly at the door just now. It seems to be very good-looking. My mother also likes cheongsam. You can wear it when you go to my house..." < br>
Liu Wangxue quickly grabbed his hand and locked it in her arms. She stuttered when she interrupted him: "No, no, no, no, it's inappropriate."
Xu Qingsong used his other hand to pinch her face and looked at her closer: "There's something wrong with you -"
"Where is it? No!" Liu Wangxue removed the one on her face He also grabbed his hand and locked the two in his arms, "You are thinking too much."
Xu Qingsong felt more and more strange: "Then tell me, why is it inappropriate?"
Liu Wangxue thought, why is it inappropriate? It’s not appropriate in any way! That’s not what you would wear out at all! She thought quickly: "This is a summer dress. The material is very thin and sleeveless. It is not suitable for wearing now." He broke free of her shackles, turned her around and held her in his arms from behind. He still wanted to stretch his hand towards the box, "Let me take a look."
Liu Wangxue raised her hands and pressed his arms down again. This time she hugged him with great force: "No!"
Xu Qingsong bent over slightly and rested his chin on her shoulders. Asked with interest: "Why?"
Liu Wangxue "coughed" and told the truth: "This dress, Xixi made it, you know, her aesthetics sometimes More avant-garde."
Xu Qingsong: "Huh? What's the avant-garde method?"
Liu Wangxue's face suddenly felt a little hot and he said after considering it. Sexy, well, you can also say, too sexy, so..."
She was silent after saying "so". Xu Qingsong's thoughts changed and he felt that he should suddenly realize it. He said "ah", with a little excitement in his rather narcissistic tone, and leaned into her ear and said: "So, they are specially worn for me to see?"
He spoke The statement was obviously very light, but Liu Wangxue felt that his cochlea was numbed by the shock. He turned his head slightly and pinched the back of his hand: "Mr. Xu, don't be so narcissistic, okay? Why can't I just wear it?" What do you think?”
“That’s right, you have such a good figure, you wear It must look very good." Xu Qingsong smiled and hugged her waist tightly, "But what's the point of admiring yourself alone? Think about it and invite me to join you."
Liu Wangxue has calmed down and left. With his hand, he turned to face him, pushing him back to sit down On the edge of the bed, she lowered her head and kissed him on the lips: "Sit down first, my Mr. Xu, I haven't finished packing my things yet." After saying that, she let go of him, turned back to the closet, and closed the gift box containing the cheongsam. , then take off the clothes you will wear in the next few days one by one, fold them and put them in the suitcase.
After moving from the bungalow to the small building, Liu Wangxue stuffed this "cloud and see the moon" into the back of the closet. Anyway, it won't be used for the time being - or maybe for a long time. . When I was looking for a folded inner layer just now, I accidentally saw the box in the corner. I accidentally took it and opened it and looked at it. A question came to my mind whether I should bring it with me.
Fortunately, okay, Liu Wangxue thought, Xu Qingsong didn't see the whole picture. She felt that she was really crazy, so she shouldn't have had that question, what to bring or not to bring!
Xu Qingsong grabbed Xiaoci who was lying at the end of the bed, took him into his arms and rubbed him. His eyes never left Liu Wangxue, and he asked with a high-spirited look: "Seriously, what are you doing?" When do you plan to wear it for me to see? "
Liu Wangxue raised her eyes and gave him a look: "Tonight, I have everything in my dreams."
Xu Qingsong laughed after hearing this and rubbed his hands again. With two handfuls of small porcelain, the whole person leaned back slightly with a smile. He didn't know the truth yet, he just thought it was a cheongsam. (End of this chapter)
