Liu Wangxue and Xu Qingsong drove to the mall first. It was the first time to meet the elders of each other's family. It was not easy to go empty-handed.
Liu Wangxue also experienced this kind of thing for the first time and was not sure what to buy. Before coming, Gu Xuelan had already told her to choose the right one to buy, gave her some suggestions, and asked her to ask Xu Qingsong directly if she was really unsure.
Liu Wangxue also felt that she should ask Xu Qingsong. She was worried that she would buy the gift herself in case his parents and grandparents didn't like it. Since it is a gift and it is given to an important person, of course it is best to send it to the heart of the person, so that the recipient of the gift is satisfied and the giver of the gift is also happy.
Xu Qingsong told her not to worry: "When I go back, my boyfriend will take you to choose in person. I guarantee that you will not make any mistakes and please them."
Liu Wangxue said hard: "Who wants to please me? Do you understand this is etiquette? It's etiquette!"
"Okay, okay," Xu Qingsong coaxed her, "Etiquette, etiquette!"
On the way to the mall, the two of them were chatting about other things, and Liu Wangxue didn't even have time to ask him if he wanted to buy something. What, the destination has arrived.
When the two of them parked the car and took the elevator, Liu Wangxue asked: "You said you would come back and help me choose, but you didn't tell me what to buy in advance. What is your suggestion?"
Xu Qingsong took her hand and walked towards the elevator: "Don't worry, I will tell you now."
Liu Wangxue waited for two seconds, but did not see him speaking, and urged: "Say it."
Xu Qingsong pressed the elevator button, and the numbers started to jump down from "3". He lowered his head and approached Liu Wangxue, smiling and looking into her eyes. He was happy to finally be able to take someone home.
Liu Wangxue misinterpreted it, thinking that Xu Qingsong was gesturing for her to give her a kiss, and pretended to be shocked: "You have to charge interest for this?!"
Xu Qingsong raised his hand and flicked her forehead After a moment: "Am I so fussy?"
At this time, the elevator door opened, and four or five passengers came out. There was also a lady pushing a stroller, and Xu Qingsong hugged Liu Wangxue. He gave way to the side.
When everyone came out, Xu Qingsong took Liu Wangxue's hand and walked in, pressed the floor "3", and continued to talk to Liu Wangxue: "Let's go to the third floor first. There is a tea shop on the third floor. Shop, my dad suddenly started to like drinking tea recently, and he only drinks Pu'er. When I returned to Taojiacun, he didn't have much tea left in his pot. He should have finished drinking it now, so give him this. .”
Liu Wangxue was not at ease: "Wouldn't you buy a new one when you are about to finish drinking? In case my uncle has already bought it, I..."
"It's okay, listen to me, it's definitely right—— "Before Xu Qingsong finished speaking, the elevator dinged. It was the second floor. Three or four people walked in, and he stood aside to protect Liu Wangxue.
When they got out of the elevator on the third floor, Xu Qingsong took Liu Wangxue's hand and walked to the tea shop very purposefully. Then he continued what he had just left unfinished: "Where is my dad? He likes to keep everything simple and has low requirements for food and clothing in daily life. If there is something on hand that can meet his current needs, even if it is just a makeshift one, he will never buy a second one. So, with him. The same goes for tea. If you only buy one can at a time, you will drink it until there is nothing left before going out to buy it."
Liu Wangxue heard Xu Qingsong talk about his father before. What I pictured in my mind was the image of a university professor who was both serious and rigorous but also humorous. This was the first time I heard him talk about this side of his father, and I really admired him: "Think about my cupboard of tea leaves and tea sets. I think I should be ashamed.”
“There’s nothing to be ashamed of,” Xu Qingsong raised his hand and poked her dimple, smiling, “It’s just that the philosophy and way of life are different from mine. Mom is the complete opposite of my dad. I can only say that it’s a good thing my mom doesn’t like to drink tea. Otherwise, she would definitely have a tea room at home and a whole wall of cabinets dedicated to it. A variety of tea sets and various varieties of tea. ”
"Really?" Liu Wangxue didn't quite believe it, because in past chats and through Xu Qingsong's description, Liu Wangxue had always thought that his mother and his father had very similar personalities.
"Really!" Xu Qingsong saw that she didn't believe it, so he mentioned another incident to prove it, "You will know when you go to my house later. The cloakroom in my house is thirty square meters, and my father and I have Shoes and clothes combined only account for one The pitiful horns, the rest are all my mother’s things.”
“Your description really doesn’t contain exaggeration?” Liu Wangxue was suspicious, even using the word “pitiful”. , she really suspected that this person was harming the elders again.
Xu Qingsong was like a roundworm in her stomach at this moment: "Are you suspecting that I am harming my mother's reputation again?"
"No." Liu Wangxue denied.
However, this denial was very heartless. Xu Qingsong saw through it at a glance and said with a smile: "Really, I will take you to see him first thing when I get home soon. I am your boyfriend, why don't you always believe what I say? "
"Okay, I believe it, I believe it," Liu Wangxue also smiled, patted him, and then added, "It's not because you always like to exaggerate."
Xu Qingsong said. He raised his hand and poked her dimple again, taking it as revenge.
Then walking a few steps forward, Xu Qingsong motioned Liu Wangxue to look to the right: "We're here."
The tea shop is not a big one, with six major tea categories scattered throughout. Placed neatly on the shelf.
Not having much time, Liu Wangxue went straight to Pu'er tea and asked Xu Qingsong what kind his father drank. Then he picked a can and added a box of Xiaoqinggan Pu'er on his own initiative.
Seeing that they selected so quickly, the clerk wanted to take the opportunity to recommend something else: "Would you like to see something else? The Dianhong we have here is also of excellent quality. You can go to the tea room at the back. , let our tea master make a pot for you to taste.”
“No, thank you, that’s all.” Liu Wangxue politely refused and paid, while Xu Qingsong carried the gift bag. , holding her hand and walking out.
Liu Wangxue asked: "What should I give to aunt?"
Xu Qingsong took her to the escalator: "Just give me a silk scarf. My mother said a few days ago that she would wait Spring has been blooming for a while, and she is going out for a spring outing with some friends, and she is already thinking about what to wear. I remember hearing that she was short of a silk scarf, and she probably hasn’t bought one yet.”
Liu Wangxue confirmed with him: "You are sure."
"Don't worry," Xu Qingsong reassured her, "Whether she buys it or not, as long as it is a gift from you, she will definitely like it. Go out I will definitely bring it with me when I play.”
The two went from the second floor to the first floor and visited three or four stores. Based on Xu Qingsong’s description of his mother’s dressing style, Liu Wangxue also learned about the clothes just now. I had the impression that I had met him once when I arrived at Taojia Village, so I picked out a large and small square scarf.
Coming out of the store carrying a silk scarf, Liu Wangxue looked up and saw a store selling massage devices opposite. It was the same brand that Wenxi gave to Gu Xuelan and Liu Nanshan last year.
Liu Wangxue once heard Xu Qingsong say that his grandfather and grandmother suffered from lumbar muscle strain. One of them studied archeology and the other taught law. They both suffered from long-term standing in class and desk work when they were young. Something wrong.
Liu Wangxue pulled Xu Qingsong to the opposite side: "How about giving my grandparents a massage device? I remember you said that they often have back discomfort."
Xu Qingsong pulled her and said: "There are some at home. , I bought it for them the year before last, it’s this brand, and I’ve been using it all the time.”
“What kind of thing did it buy the year before last?” Liu Wangxue asked.
Xu Qingsong joked: "Why, are you worried that the one you bought for me, your grandson, won't work?"
"No." Liu Wangxue smiled and patted him, holding him back. She held his arm and insisted on walking to the opposite side, "Last year Xixi gave it to my parents as a gift. I bought one, this brand, and it also has a hot compress function. They both press it for a while before going to bed every day. It is really comfortable. After the weather gets cold, my mother also uses it to apply hot compress on her stomach and body before going to bed every day. The whole back is so comfortable to sleep on.”
"Can it also be used as a hot compress?" Xu Qingsong just did some research before buying it, but he didn't pay much attention to it after that. He didn't expect that new functions would be released.
Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan usually use it before going to bed, and keep the massager in the bedroom. They only occasionally mentioned in chat that it was a gift from Wenxi. Xu Qingsong had never seen what it looked like, nor did he. Ask more, otherwise he will definitely buy it for his family early in the morning.
"Yes," Liu Wangxue heard him ask and knew that the massager he bought definitely did not have a hot compress function, "so let's go and take a look. Hot compress can also help relieve lumbar muscle strain."
Walking into the store, Liu Wangxue saw at a glance the model Wenxi gave to Liu Nanshan and Gu Xuelan. Now there is an upgraded version. The operation is simpler, and the range of massage and hot compress has also changed. It is wide and simulates human hand massage, which can press into deep muscles.
The two tied the product around their waists and tried it for a while. Liu Wangxue chose the upgraded version without hesitation and told the store clerk that he wanted two pieces, one for each of his grandfather and grandma.
Xu Qingsong quickly stopped her: "One is enough." What Liu Wangxue thought was that two would be great, just like her parents, each doing their own thing without "fighting" with each other. She saw a small clock on the checkout counter. It had been an hour since they entered the mall. She had spent more time picking out silk scarves. She was worried that she would be late and let her elders wait.
Liu Wangxue thought so and said the same thing. The clerk next to him also agreed and persuaded him to buy two pieces.
Xu Qingsong ignored what the clerk said and said to Liu Wangxue: "Really, one piece is enough. My grandfather and my dad have exactly the same personality and habits. I bought two pieces last time. My grandpa didn’t want it, so he asked me to take it back and return it. He said that I could take turns using it with my grandma. There’s no need to waste it.”
Liu Wangxue confirmed with him: “Really?”
< br>
"Really!" Xu Qingsong raised his hand and hugged her back, touched her hair, and said with a soft light in his smiling eyes, "I swear."
"Okay then. "Liu Wangxue was teased by him, what kind of oath could he make?
When he walked out of the store, Xu Qingsong carried everything in his left hand, holding Liu Wangxue in his right hand and walked to the elevator: "Let's go back."
Liu Wangxue was still walking around. Looking at other stores: "Hey - are you going back now? You can't just carry these three things. What else do your grandparents like? I'll buy another one."
"I've already ordered them. , let's go." Xu Qingsong didn't give her a chance to go anywhere else. He hugged the person and walked straight to the elevator that he had just come up from the underground garage, which was close to the parking place.
Liu Wangxue's attention was drawn back by his words. He looked up and looked at Xu Qingsong and asked: "What did you order?"
Xu Qingsong explained: "Where's my grandfather? His hobbies Not much. He usually likes to eat some snacks and desserts, but he is a bit "three-high", so my grandma is very strict and only allows him to eat once every two to three months, and every time he has a limited amount. So greedy! So, every time I come back, grandpa either expressly or implicitly refuses to let me enter the house without bringing snacks."
Liu Wangxue laughed and thought, the old man still has a naughty side. Ah: "Then you can bring back the desserts made by your brother-in-law. The ones he makes have lower sugar content and should be suitable for the elderly, but they still need to be eaten in moderation."
"I bought it," Xu Qingsong said, As early as when the "Not Sweet" mini program was launched, he placed an order for a batch of biscuits and sent them to Beijing. "But my grandpa's taste was a bit strong and he thought my brother-in-law's ones were tasteless. The ones I sent home were basically the same." My parents and grandma eat it. He eats Heguzhai every time.”
Heguzhai, Liu Wangxue knows, is also a time-honored brand in Beijing, and it is quite famous. She had bought it when she visited Beijing before. When she brought it home, no one liked it. They all said it was too sweet and boring.
Liu Wangxue thought to herself, no wonder Xu Qingsong's grandma kept strict control. If she let it go freely, the "three highs" might have to be higher, which would be useless to health.
Liu Wangxue asked Xu Qingsong: "So you ordered the dim sum from Heguzhai?"
As he spoke, he walked to the elevator entrance. There were already people waiting. Xu Qingsong saw Having already pressed the down button, he stood with Liu Wangxue On the side, he nodded and said: "Heguzhai has also begun to pay attention to health, low sugar and oil in the past two years. Some pastries have successively launched improved versions, and the taste is much lighter than the traditional ones."
Speaking of which Here, the elevator comes down from above. They went down first and then up. When the two of them entered, it was still full, so Xu Qingsong didn't continue.
When B1 got out of the elevator and walked to the parking space, Liu Wangxue asked him: "Then what you bought for grandpa are all improved versions?"
"It's not me, it's you." Xu Qingsong's hand on her waist moved his fingers twice.
"Huh?" Liu Wangxue didn't turn around for a while.
Xu Qingsong said with a smile: "I already bought it for my grandfather once when I went home during the Spring Festival. It's only been more than a month since that time. It's too close. I definitely can't carry it back."
"Okay!" Liu Wangxue raised her hand to pinch his waist, but the clothes were too thick, so she couldn't pinch him, so she poked him twice with her fingers, "This is my first time to fuck you. Come home, you framed me like this, let me I'll take the blame for you, right?"
Xu Qingsong laughed and didn't hide. He took Liu Wangxue back into his arms and apologized to her: "The main thing is, my grandfather called me yesterday. He made it clear that he wanted I can't see the box of ice skin lotus paste cake, so he won't let me in in front of you. You said, if he really stops me at the door, I will lose face. Help me!”
"Don't be miserable, do you think I believe it?" Liu Wangxue squinted at him.
Xu Qingsong tilted his head and touched her head gently: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I took my grandpa to the hospital for a checkup during the Spring Festival. This year, grandma often supervised His diet also encourages him to exercise, so there is basically no problem, grandma said. These things can be relaxed a little appropriately. The old man has been greedy for the past two days. Think about it, as the future granddaughter-in-law of our Xu family, you put this box of cakes in front of him, which is exactly what you want, and he will not be happy! "
Liu Wangxue raised her hand to pinch his mouth: "Be careful what you say to me. What about 'future granddaughter-in-law'? Did I agree? Mr. Xu, you didn't even ask for marriage, yet you dare to think about such a beautiful thing!"
Xu Qingsong was just about to quibble. I just said it casually, and then I heard Liu Wangxue's words, and I was very happy. He took her hand off and held it tightly in his own: "So, do you mean that I can prepare to propose?"
The car was right next to her. Liu Wangxue didn't answer, just twitched his hand. He came out, turned around and walked towards the passenger door, then looked back at him with a half-smile.
Xu Qingsong immediately took out the key to unlock the door, caught up with her in two steps, and opened the door for her diligently. After she sat in and closed the door thoughtfully, he went around to the other side, first put the things in his hands on the back seat, and then opened the door for her. Got in the car. After closing the door, he didn't rush to drive away. He put his left hand on the steering wheel and asked the question again.
Liu Wangxue knew that he asked this on purpose. Of course, he must also have some hidden agenda. As soon as she thought about it, she wanted to tease Xu Qingsong, so she looked at him from head to toe with squinting eyes, and finally stopped at Xia San Road, her tone was coquettish and arrogant: "I haven't inspected the goods yet, you What's the hurry?"
Xu Qingsong was immediately aroused by her eyes and words. His lower abdomen tightened, his hands tightened on the steering wheel and then suddenly loosened. He raised his right arm and leaned towards Liu Wangxue, grabbing it with ease. He pulled her closer.
Liu Wangxue was startled by his sudden movement, and her heart beat faster.
Xu Qingsong held the back of her neck with one hand, rubbed the skin behind her ear with his thumb, put his lips next to her ear, and whispered: "Okay, come home with me tonight. ”
After speaking, he kissed her earlobe again.
Liu Wangxue heard the repressed desire in his tone, and felt that her left ear, neck and side of her face were about to be boiled by the heat contained in his words. Now her heartbeat was not accelerated after being shocked. Even Xu Qingsong pushed her back into the seat and buckled her seat belt without even noticing it until the car drove out of the underground garage and the various lights outside came on. Dazzling, she came back to her senses.
Driving onto the main road and driving forward for a while, there was silence in the car.
Xu Qingsong has been paying attention to Liu Wangxue's reaction. He was amused and thought she was very cute. He unconsciously asked: "What's wrong? You were the one who flirted with me first. After that, It’s unethical to be irresponsible.”< br>
Liu Wangxue's heartbeat has basically returned to normal at this moment. She adjusted her posture slightly to make herself more comfortable. Not to be outdone, she said: "Who said I don't want to be responsible? I dare to be responsible if I dare to flirt."< br>
Liu Wangxue was overjoyed after saying this. Did she succeed in flirting? How pitiful! Finally she succeeded!
However, the happiness turned into sadness in the next second. Liu Wangxue thought, Xu Qingsong said "go home", wasn't it his home that they were going to tonight? How could it be the first time you go to your boyfriend's house or do that kind of thing when his family is around? If his family found out, where would she put her face? Even if his family didn't know, she still couldn't get over that hurdle in her heart... It seemed that she still didn't succeed in teasing him, and she felt that she was being teased again.
Liu Wangxue thought so and glared at Xu Qingsong.
Xu Qingsong saw it from the corner of his eye and laughed out loud: "Why are you staring at me so well?"
Liu Wangxue gave a light "hum" and asked him: "What are we doing tonight?" Where to live? ”
Xu Qingsong still smiled: "Didn't I tell you, it's my home."
"I think," Liu Wangxue said in a negotiating tone, "a hotel is better."
Xu Qingsong Continue to laugh: "I told you before, I don't want to be in the hotel."
Liu Wangxue wanted to continue discussing, but Xu Qingsong motioned her to look ahead: "We're here." (End of Chapter)< br>
