"However, I still like my current job very much. Helping others makes me feel very fulfilled." Wu Wei put her right hand on her belly, where there was once a life.
Xu Chuan held her in his arms and interrupted Wu Wei's thoughts, "Are you and your brother celebrating the New Year in Shencheng?"
Wu Wei raised her head. The person in front of her was really not very good at comforting others. If he didn't poke you a few words, it would be considered a sign of conscience.
"Of course, but after the New Year, the association still has a lot of work to do." After saying that, he seemed to think of something, and sat up from his arms and took the phone, "Although I really want to pretend that I didn't see it, but after all, this photo
What's the meaning."
On his phone was a photo of him and Xuela after the award presentation that day. Xu Chuan smiled and said, "This is their etiquette. I am also very helpless."
"You fart." Wu Wei pushed the guy who was talking nonsense down on the sofa.
Xu Chuan laughed very happily, how could he suffer such a thing? After a while, the two of them changed positions, and the girl lay there and looked at him with charming eyes.
After a while, Wu Wei buried her face in Xu Chuan's neck and said, "You'll be leaving in two days, right?" her voice was filled with reluctance.
Xu Chuan stroked her hair and nodded, "When Xu Ziwen and the others come back, I will go back to the capital. Our old man's birthday is coming soon. I will visit my grandpa's house in the next two days and say New Year's greetings."
"Oh." The girl's mood was not high.
Xu Chuan thought for a moment, "Why don't you go with me? My grandma will definitely be very happy. She likes pretty people." Hey, this seems to be very similar to himself.
"Really, is that okay?" This was something she didn't expect.
"What's wrong with this?" If I take a girl back, a bunch of people in the province will ask me all the time if I have found a girlfriend, when will I get married, and when will I have children.
After that, there were all kinds of blind dates, euphemistically called making friends first. Damn, I’m just twenty-two, okay?
When Wu Jiang received another call from his sister, she was already with Xu Chuan at the edge of Taihu Lake, more than a hundred kilometers away. "Ah, brother, we are already at the place, hang up first."
"Tsk, tsk, poor brother."
"It's not because of you." Yesterday, I worked too late and got up too early in the morning. Of course I had to pack myself properly for such an important matter. I got up before five o'clock to put on makeup and pick out clothes.
So after getting in the car, under the warm air conditioner, I fell asleep directly, and slept all the way.
She looked at her makeup first, and luckily it wasn't stained. "By the way, are we just going to go empty-handed?" Only then did she remember that she had forgotten such an important thing.
Xu Chuan looked at her nervous little face and felt a little funny, "You are thinking too much. My grandpa has too many people in his family. If he really wants to buy everything, he would have to use a truck to pull it."
Having said that, Xu Chuan has already made preparations. He picked out a few antiques he brought back from France last time.
Two ancient paintings and an ancient music score, he took out a wooden box made of rosewood from the trunk and handed it to Wu Wei, while she carried two long brocade boxes.
Although it has been closed in recent years, people who want to come home probably haven't come back from various places yet, which saves a lot of trouble.
"Is this your grandpa's house?" The white courtyard wall stretches along the edge of Taihu Lake for an unknown distance.
"Hey, I also want to keep a low profile, but reality doesn't allow it." This is the old residence of the Deng family, covering an area of about fifty acres. It was built during the Guangxu period and is one-third smaller than the famous Humble Administrator's Garden.
The so-called Suzhou gardens are the best in the world. This is no bragging. Xu Chuan, who had a short memory when he was young, would come here to stay for a period of time every year. It is definitely a winding path leading to a beautiful scenery.
"Xiaochuan." He was called out. He turned around and saw Deng Mei standing at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the two of them with a smile on his face.
"Oh, you're back. I thought you were still in Shanghai."
Xu Chuan walked forward with Wu Wei, "This is Wu Wei, this is my aunt."
"Hello." The girl greeted softly with a slightly red face.
This was the first time Deng Mei saw Wu Wei. She looked around curiously and saw that the girl seemed very nervous. She quickly took her hand and said with a smile, "Wu Wei, you are so beautiful. You are such a boy."
The first girl I brought back."
Xu Chuan rolled his eyes, "Oh, hurry in and don't open the door to welcome me. You are the only one coming out. As expected, I have the least status here."
This is the west corner gate of the garden. The entrance and exit from here is not particularly conspicuous.
"Ha, you still dare to say that you only come here a few times a year. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Your grandpa is very angry."
"I believe you are a ghost." Xu Chuan led Wu Wei into the corner door, which was connected to a corridor. In front of it was a pond full of lotus, which was connected to the Taihu Lake outside the wall by a waterway.
"I used to play hide-and-seek here when I was a kid. I always burrowed into the rockery. It seems that one time I hid in it and fell asleep, but those unloyal little brats forgot about me. When I woke up, it was already dark.
"
Looking at the nervous Wu Wei, Xu Chuan could only tell her some embarrassing things from his childhood to make her relax.
"You cried so much at that time." Deng Mei recalled the scene at that time and smiled very happily.
"Really?" Wu Wei looked at him, unable to imagine how the man in front of her was crying, and her laughter also relaxed her spirit.
After crossing the bridge, you can see blue bricks and black tiles, cornices and painted buildings. Going east through two courtyards is the main courtyard, where two old people with gray hair and childlike faces are waiting here.
Deng Zhilin is over seventy years old and has been engaged in education all his life. He can be said to have a lot of talents all over the world. The old lady's name is Meng Yuelian. She is a master of Kunqu opera. How old is she? The kind of person who has performed in the Yin Bu Er Tang.
They have two sons and two daughters. Xu Chuan's deceased mother, Deng Landa, is the third eldest, and Deng Mei is the youngest.
"Hey, your yard is too big. I think you will still get lost even now." Xu Chuan pretended to complain, but was slapped by the serious-looking Mr. Deng.
"Grandma, look, he hit me again." The old lady pushed her wife aside, took Xu Chuan's hand and looked left and right, her eyes slightly red.
I knew that she was thinking of Deng Lan again, which was why he didn't always come back. It was too easy for him to remind the old lady of the saddest thing in her life.
He held the old lady's shoulders and said, "Grandma, I'm hungry. Please give me something to eat."
"I've already made preparations for you when I knew you were coming." The old lady spoke in Wu Nong's soft words, and Xu Chuan sounded very cordial, "I'm patronizing you. Who is this pretty little girl?"
Wu Wei looked flustered and didn't know what to call her, and then she choked out two words, "Hello."
"Just follow him and call me grandma." Just like Xu Chuan said, the old lady likes good-looking people, and she had a crush on Wu Wei at first sight.
After looking at Xu Chuan's attitude, Wu Wei called her grandma in a low voice.
