Chapter 33 Is also your home
In the blink of an eye, the car has entered the city and arrived at Kangwu Road two minutes ahead of schedule under the guidance of Xu Jiayu's "living map".
"How's it going? Is it great? I'm not the road-crazy Xiao Xu I used to be."
She looked at Lin Mochen proudly, but Lin Mochen looked at her silently, with more emotion in his eyes than she could understand.
"Forced by life?"
Xu Jiayu was stunned and looked away subconsciously, "Don't drive any further. There are many people in front of you. If you want to buy something, let's find a place to park. It's faster to just walk there."
"No, the door is open."
The French plane tree with vigorous branches and leaves was like a giant green umbrella, half-covering the red door full of historical traces below. She watched the door slowly open, and then Lin Mochen drove in like this...
At this moment she finally realized, "Dr. Lin, you... your family doesn't live here, right?"
"It's not my home, it's my grandpa's home."
Xu Jiayu looked at the scenery outside the car window, and his mood could no longer be described as shocked.
This is no ordinary garden house, it is a top-notch garden house in a top location in S City!
A century-old outstanding historical building!
She subconsciously picked up her phone and checked the house price.
"Ten to a million yuan... The unit price is 450,000 yuan per square meter? Dr. Lin, your ancestors must not be some tycoon and socialite!"
Lin Mochen glanced at Xu Jiayu's mobile phone, "It's not that exaggerated. The house now is just a garden house. The ones you mentioned were pushed to reconstruction more than 20 years ago. This house was given to my grandfather by my uncle. Before that we lived in the compound.”
Good guy! Xu Jiayu's heart that had just been relieved was lifted again! Even twenty years ago, a garden house in this location would have been worth zero. Who was Lin Mochen's uncle?
"Uncle is cousin Gu's father?"
"Yes, according to Manman's wishes, my aunt will come over today, and my uncle may be here too. You can see him soon."
Lin Mochen unbuckled his seat belt and said, "We're here, get ready to get out of the car."
As night falls over the land, Spanish-style garden villas can be vaguely seen under the street lights, with their iconic red tile roofs, curved arches and exquisite carvings on the doors. Each brick and tile seems to be engraved with traces of history, and even every window lattice seems to be engraved with traces of history. Revealing elegant charm.
Xu Jiayu was still in a daze, and Lin Mochen had already opened the car door for her.
"I'm not hungry."
She came back to her senses and arranged her hair in a panic, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? I came here dressed so casually."
"No, you are beautiful, you look good no matter what."
"Really...really?"
It was the first time she heard such words from Lin Mochen in so many years of knowing him. She didn't react for a moment and answered instinctively.
"Absolutely true, truer than pearls."
"Dr. Lin, have you eaten honey today?"
Lin Mochen chuckled and curled the corners of his mouth.
"Ah! Our protagonist today finally appears! Grandpa and grandma! My cousin is back with his cousin!"
The girl's voice sounded from behind, but Lin Mochen subconsciously rubbed his forehead. Then he saw the girl flying over Lin Mochen like a little swallow and directly holding her hand.
"Oh! Cousin, you are so good-looking, much better than in the photo!"
Gu Jingman is a fair and plump round-faced girl with a lively and lovely expression. She smiles as sweetly as a flower blooming in the garden. There is a sense of unrestrained happiness all over her body. She also speaks in a cooing way that is very annoying.
She took Xu Jiayu's arm and walked through the garden into the villa worth hundreds of millions. "Grandpa! Grandma! Dad! My cousin is here with his cousin!"
"Oh! Finally here! Today is a good day!"
The exterior of the old bungalow has Spanish architectural features, but the interior decoration is standard new Chinese style.
There was an Arhat bed by the window, decorated with calligraphy and paintings at random. The wall in the center of the living room was empty, but traces of hanging picture frames could be vaguely seen. The old man sitting on the single sofa put down his book and stood up, pinching the Beard smiled.
"After so many years, I finally met Xiaoyu."
The old man has fair and rosy skin, a broad and protruding forehead, and two piercing long eyes embedded under his two white eyebrows. His voice is loud and loud, echoing back and forth in the living room.
"Hello, grandpa! This is the first time I meet you. I am Xu Jiayu."
"Oh! Okay! Okay! Okay!" Sit down quickly. Manman will go get some candy for your sister-in-law. The meal will be ready in a while. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure poked out from the island at the other end of the living room, "Where is he? Let me see?"
"Mom, it's the first time Mo Chen's wife comes to visit, let's not scare her!"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Oh! Look what you said, did we scare you the first time you came to our door?"
Gu Jingman shook Xu Jiayu's arm and said, "Sister-in-law, those are my grandma and my dad. My mom was already here. It's probably an emergency in the hospital and she didn't answer the call. Don't mind."
A middle-aged man walked out with a kind and kind old lady on his arm. The old lady had gray hair, but there was no trace of worry about the years on her face.
The old lady took her hand and looked at it again and again, "This look is more symbolic than the one she had when she was a child."
"Grandpa, grandma, have you all seen me?"
"The year my cousin first came back, he brought back a big box with all your photos in it. Today is more famous than meeting you!"
"How long do you want to keep talking?"
Lin Mochen casually put his arms around Xu Jiayu's waist, raised his eyebrows and looked at Gu Jingman beside him, "And you, I can't even stop your mouth when eating."
"Okay! Okay! Everything that should come is here. Yunshan, please call Xiaoni again. If you don't answer, you are busy. Let's start dinner first!"
Yunshan? Gu Yunshan?
The famous contemporary painter Gu Yunshan? Her works have won many awards in international and national exhibitions and have been exhibited in the National Art Museum of China. She thought she had the opportunity to visit Master Gu, but something happened and she missed it.
There are rumors in the circle that a painting by Gu Da once sold for a sky-high price of 100 million. No wonder he can afford such a garden house.
Lin Mochen patted Xu Jiayu, who was still in a daze, and said, "Let's go, honey, there should be something you like to eat today."
While he was talking, Gu Yunshan had already put the dishes on the table, "Today, my mother heard that Xiao Chen won the award and she didn't even ask her aunt to come over. She cooked the food herself. You don't know how long I have been thinking about this dish, but I still asked her. Good luck to you!”
"Oh! If our painter Gu really wants to eat, come back more often, and Mommy, can you open the door for you?"
"Today is all home-cooked food made by me, an old woman. Don't dislike it, Xiaoyu!"
"No! No! The dishes that grandma cooks are all my favorite! These dishes may seem simple, but it's really not easy to cook them deliciously!" She smiled sheepishly, "Maybe it's because I stay outside. After a long time, I always miss the food at home. ”
After Xu Jiayu finished speaking, the whole family looked at Lin Mochen and smiled knowingly.
And Xu Jiayu was drooling as he looked at the grilled large ribs with green onions and boiled eggs in front of him, fried blue crabs, louver-wrapped oily gluten stuffed meat, fried shrimps in oil, cola chicken wings, fried razor clams, and fried green peppers with silver sprouts.
What she just said was not a compliment to the old lady. These are all things she really likes to eat, especially fried shrimps, which was Xu Boyuan's specialty back then...
Lin Mochen seemed to have seen through her already. He picked up a few oil-fried shrimps without changing his expression and his heart did not skip a beat. After peeling the shells, he put them into her bowl, four or five in a row. He even whispered in her ear, "Eat more if you like." , this is your home too.”
