After visiting the campus, Wang Gang returned to Xie's house with his mother and three others, and happened to meet Xie Huayuan's family of three listening to old records.
Huang Ling was already interested in record players, so she couldn't help but stop and listen.
Seeing Huang Ling's appearance, Xie's mother couldn't help but ask: "Huang Ling, do you have any favorite music?"
Huang Ling touched her hair embarrassedly and said, "Auntie, I don't understand that. I just think the music sounds good."
Xie's mother turned to her son Xie Huayuan and said, "I have collected some jazz records. Ayuan, go and take them out."
"Okay, Mom." Xie Huayuan took out the record directly from the cabinet in the living room.
Mother Xie asked: "Huang Ling, can you dance?"
Huang Ling shook her head and said: "I don't know how. The factory organized a dance party before, so I just sat down and watched."
Mother Xie said happily: "It's okay, I'll teach you how to dance. It's very simple."
Mother Xie is in a very good mood today, perhaps because it is rare to have so many people at home.
"Xiaoting, let me teach you how to dance." Xie Lingling took the initiative to say to Zhuang Xiaoting.
"I can't." Zhuang Xiaoting waved her hands quickly, showing fear.
"Dancing is fun, Teacher Tunan knows it." Xie Lingling grabbed Zhuang Xiaoting's hand and started teaching her directly.
Wang Gang gave his sister a little push from behind and said, "It's a rare opportunity, let's play for a while!"
Zhuang Xiaoting was pushed into Xie Lingling's arms, and then her body began to dance involuntarily.
On the other side, Xie’s mother also began to teach Huang Ling how to dance. The room was filled with laughter and laughter, and it was quite lively.
Wang Gang was not idle either. He was responsible for teaching Xiang Pengfei. Unfortunately, Xiang Pengfei's hands and feet were too stiff and he couldn't learn it. His dancing was very funny, which attracted everyone's ridicule, and he finally gave up.
?Huang Ling couldn't let go at first, but then Wang Gang took her to dance, and she slowly started to move.
With the sound of music, Wang Gang and others completely released themselves and danced their bodies. Xie Huayuan even danced with Huang Ling in the end. People who didn't know it thought they were husband and wife.
At this time, Huang Ling had long forgotten all her worries. Zhuang Chaoying and her parents had long been forgotten.
Everyone danced for an hour, covered in sweat, and finally stopped because Mother Xie was exhausted.
Through playing around, Huang Ling got to know the Xie family thoroughly. She said that she would cook in person in the evening and treat the Xie family to a meal.
Xie Huayuan and Xie Lingling were naturally willing. Because Xie's mother was old, she went back to her room to rest first and said she would be called after the meal was ready.
Although Huang Ling said she would cook by herself, Xie Huayuan and Xie Lingling still went into the kitchen to help because they were worried that she would not know how to use a gas stove.
What surprised Huang Ling was that Xie Huaying had good cooking skills.
"Mr. Xie, I didn't expect your cooking skills to be so good."
"Lingling's mother passed away early. I was always the one cooking at home, so I got used to it slowly." Xie Huaying said modestly.
Xie Lingling said at this time: "Aunt Huang, I heard from Teacher Tunan that your cooking skills are also very good. We are in good luck today."
Huang Ling likes Xie Lingling, who has a lively and outgoing personality, and said: "It's not as good as Tu Nan said. I can also make home-cooked dishes. Just don't dislike it."
"Aunt Huang, how many days will you and Xiaoting stay in Shanghai?" Xie Lingling asked.
"I've taken three days off and I'm leaving tomorrow."
"Ah, it's so fast! I wanted you to stay for two more days?" Xie Lingling said regretfully.
Huang Ling wondered: "It's hard to ask for too much leave at the factory, and Tunan's father is at home alone, so I'm worried."
Xie Lingling's face was filled with regret and she silently began to wash the vegetables.
Huang Ling was a little confused, but Xie Huayuan knew why her daughter was in a bad mood.
"Lingling, if we have the opportunity in the future, we can go to Suzhou to visit Aunt Huang and Xiaoting." Xie Huayuan said.
"When was that? Dad, you are so busy at work, how can you have time?" Xie Lingling said dissatisfied.
Huang Ling said: "If Lingling wants, she can go back to Suzhou with Tunan next time and stay in my house. But our house is not as big or as beautiful as yours. Just don't dislike it."
Xie Lingling said: "I won't dislike it. It's not like we have never lived in worse places. We have slept in pig pens before."
Huang Ling was surprised and said: "Ah, pig pen?!"
Xie Huayuan explained: "Our family background is not very good, and we have been suffering for a while in the future. It has only gotten better in the past two years."
Huang Ling realized that Xie Huaying was talking about the ten years of chaos.
The Xie family used to be a wealthy family. Just looking at the mansion they live in now, you can tell how rich they are. They must have suffered a lot in those days.
Huang Ling suddenly felt a pity for Xie Lingling.
"The child is so young, I don't know how he survived before."
At this time Wang Gang walked into the kitchen and asked: "Is the meal ready? Do you need my help?"
Xie Lingling happily handed the washed potatoes to Wang Gang.
"Teacher Tunan, please cut the potatoes into shreds, and I'll fold the bean sprouts."
"No problem." Wang Gang took the kitchen knife without hesitation, and then cut the potatoes into shreds very neatly.
"Tunan, when did you know this?" Huang Ling said in surprise.
"I usually learn from watching, and I cook by myself on weekends." Wang Gang explained.
"The risotto cooked by Teacher Tunan is so delicious, I can eat two big bowls every time." Xie Lingling exclaimed happily.
Huang Ling felt slightly worried when she saw Xie Lingling and Wang Gang being intimate.
Speaking of which, the two of them are about the same age, both sixteen, but Wang Gang skipped a grade when he was a child and went to college.
Huang Ling looked at her son and Xie Lingling worriedly, but was discovered by Xie Huayuan.
"Is Tunan good at taking care of her sister at home?" Xie Huayuan asked Huang Ling.
"Ah, yes, Xiaoting and Pengfei are the most attached to Tunan." Huang Ling said.
"I really envy you that you have both children." Xie Huayuan sighed: "Lingling has been alone since she was a child. Because of my relationship, she has very few friends.
Since Tunan moved in, he has taken care of Lingling like a big brother, which makes me feel a lot more relaxed. Sometimes I want to recognize Tunan as my godson, but I am afraid of reaching too far."
Xie Lingling heard this and shouted: "Dad, if you accept Teacher Tunan as your godson, will I have a big brother?"
When Huang Ling heard this, she also knew that she had thought too much. Xie Lingling only regarded Wang Gang as her eldest brother.
"Tu Nan is too good, I dare not say this." Xie Huayuan joked.
Wang Gang doesn't want to have multiple fathers for no reason, so he naturally won't talk about it.
Zhuang Chaoying's father was enough to give him a headache.
Just as the saying goes, Cao Cao has arrived. As soon as Wang thought of Zhuang Chaoying, he was already standing at the gate of Xie's house.
Looking at the imposing little western-style building in front of him, Zhuang Chaoying thought he had found the wrong address, so he took out the note and checked the house number again?
"The address given by Teacher Tunan is correct! Tunan really lives here?" Zhuang Chaoying knocked on the door with a face full of surprise.
The person who opened the door was Xiang Pengfei, who was also full of astonishment when he saw his uncle.
Zhuang Chaoying now knew that he was looking for the right place!
