The lunch prepared by Father Wen was very sumptuous, and he also specially prepared two dishes from Guangdong, specially prepared for Xu Du and Ning Que.
Wen Qing was ill and could not eat greasy or meaty food, so Wen's father specially cooked old hen soup and light vegetarian dishes for her.
At the dinner table, Wen's father took out the wine and poured it for himself, Xu Du and Ning Que, and then poured his own freshly squeezed juice for Wen Qing and his daughter.
"Come, let's raise a glass. Firstly, we wish Xixi good health, and secondly, we welcome Xiao Xu and Xiao Lin." Father Wen raised the wine glass in his hand.
Wenqing curled her lips towards Xu Du, who was sitting opposite, and picked up the juice with a smile on her face.
Xu Du smiled silently, picked up the wine glass, clinked glasses with everyone, and took a symbolic sip.
Father Wen, who was sitting next to him, was unhappy and said, "Xiao Xu, you can't do this!" He looked at the remaining wine in his glass and meant something.
Wenqing was the first to be unhappy, "Dad!" He had a bad stomach and drank alcohol before eating. It was still white wine, which was very strong.
"Okay, okay...Dad, drink it yourself." This girl is not married yet, so she turns her arms outward, poking her heart out!
As he was about to take a sip of the wine in his glass, Xu Du glanced at Wen Qing and gave her a reassuring look. He then took the wine bottle and filled his own glass, holding it up with both hands and facing Father Wen.
"Uncle, I'd like to toast you with this cup." After saying this, he sighed.
Ning Que, who was on the side, originally wanted to help, but withdrew his hand in a gurgling voice. In this situation, no one else could help, so he had to do it himself.
He'd better eat quietly. Well, this sweet and sour pork is delicious!
Father Wen looked at Xu Du who was so smart and was satisfied again. He said with a smile, "Come on, let's go together." As he said that, he sipped the wine in the wine glass with pride.
"Xiao Xu, leave him alone. We are eating vegetables. This is our special dish. You can try it." Mother Wen used male chopsticks to put a piece of sweet and sour pork into his bowl.
Then he gave Father Wen a warning look, "If you continue to drink too much, you will sleep in the living room at night."
Although Wen's mother's words were gentle, they were very threatening. Wen's father didn't dare to make any mistakes. He poured a glass and obediently tightened the cap and put it aside.
"You really shouldn't be too greedy for wine. Come on, let's eat some food and try my cooking." Father Wen happily walked over and greeted everyone to eat.
Wenqing was used to Father Wen's cowardice towards her mother. She smiled slightly at Xu Du, reached out and picked up a piece of prawns with tomato sauce and put them into his bowl. This was her favorite food, but she couldn't.
Eat, he has to eat more.
Seeing the tender gesture, Xu Du glanced at her lovingly, and then ate the prawns with tomato sauce under her expectant gaze.
Delicate flowers bloomed on her face, and her eyes were filled with stars, dazzling and charming.
The other three people pretended not to notice the interaction between the two at the dinner table and ate their meals happily.
Father Wen wanted to stop him, but he was cowed by Mother Wen's strong authority and did not dare to make a mistake. He sat in the middle with a distance between the two of them. He tried his best and faced the risk of being driven to the sofa to sleep by Mother Wen tonight.
.
Sure enough, he still disliked this little Xu very much. His good daughter had been deceived by him.
"Dad, thank you for your hard work!" Wenqing put a piece of chicken into Father Wen's bowl and looked at him quietly and with a smile.
Ah! Happiness comes so quickly!
The good girl still loves him!
For a second, a naive happy smile appeared on his face, "Xixi is the best!"
If he had a tail, Father Wen would have raised it up to the sky and showed off childishly to Xu Du beside him.
When Xu Du saw this, his aloof persona couldn't help but chuckle, and he took a bite of the food calmly.
Father Wen was very dissatisfied when he saw Xu Du being so calm, but it still tasted delicious when eating his daughter's meat.
These small gestures at the dinner table do not affect everyone's eating. This room is full of people with etiquette engraved in their bones. Of course, apart from Father Wen, there is also Ning Que himself.
Ning Que kept eating quietly, and occasionally responded to Mother Wen's words. This feeling was a bit like eating with the old lady in an old house.
Mother Wen next to her eats very elegantly. She doesn't make any noise and doesn't talk much. But she's not rigid and serious either. She will gently ask him to eat more, saying you're welcome and so on.
All in all, it's very gentle and warm, and at the same time, it's accompanied by a bold way of eating that doesn't dare to take big bites.
Needless to say, he has long been accustomed to the warmth and touch, and the two of them have an elegance to them.
The meal lasted for more than an hour and ended in a quiet and lively atmosphere.
After the meal, Wen's mother made some scented tea and asked them to sit in the living room and drink while they digested.
The TV was showing replays of the National Day celebrations, and Father Wen was cleaning up the kitchen, so he had no chance to do any damage.
Wenqing took Xu Du's arm and sat on the sofa with a smile. Ning Que sat on the single sofa, and Wen's mother sat on the head of the sofa near Wenqing.
"Brother, when will you return to Guangdong City? How about I take you to the town later?" Wen Qing raised her face and looked at the people beside her and asked.
But he didn't know that there was a hint of coquettishness and worry in his tone, as well as some caution. Xu Du sighed softly in his heart and raised his hand to rub her head.
He said softly, "You are not feeling well yet, so stay at home and rest. My brother will go back tomorrow night."
"Really?" Wenqing was so happy that her eyes overflowed with starlight.
His phone had been ringing in the morning, and Assistant Lin was not surprised. She knew that he must be busy with a lot of work.
When others are on vacation, they are really resting. He is on vacation and working at the same time, but he just changed places to work.
But he finally came here, and she... missed him so much, and also wanted to take him around the place where she lived and give him a good introduction.
"Well, brother won't lie." Xu Du looked into her starry eyes, nodded and said seriously.
I smiled tenderly, but I was also worried about "What about your job..."?
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged." Xu Du rubbed the worried little cat's head.
She is obviously a little girl, but she always considers others first. Why is she so good and makes him feel so distressed?
"Okay." Wen Qing was relieved. She believed everything he said.
Ning Que on the side was complaining in his heart. What arrangement had been made? He had promised to go back in two days, but now it was already the third day. His phone was almost full of calls, and the scheduled flight abroad had also been rescheduled.
Already.
Originally there was a ten o'clock signing this morning, but he informed me that the time would be changed in one sentence. He communicated with others on the phone last night to change the time.
There is also a meeting in each branch at two o'clock this afternoon. In the morning, he just postponed it, and he started to inform everyone about the postponement again. It was really... too difficult for him!
I really want to tell him that everyone is going to start building!!
Can you be a little more anxious? Can you talk less about love?
Okay, he’s timid! He doesn’t dare!
Let him continue to spread the dog food and talk about more love!
His cell phone rang again. After thanking Mother Wen for her warm hospitality, he reported to Xu Du, took his cell phone and hurriedly said goodbye and went back to the hotel to work.
Wenqing watched him walking in a hurry, holding the phone and talking about work, and looked up at Xu Du worriedly.
Xu Du smiled gently, "Okay, go up and have a rest. When you wake up, take your brother out for a walk!"
"What about you?" Wenqing asked.
Mother Wen on the side was drinking scented tea and watching TV the whole time, but she was not completely unaware of what was happening on their side.
To be honest, she was shocked. She knew her daughter best, and it was rare and almost never that she dared to make such a bold move under her own eyes.
She has always followed her own teachings, keeping a one-meter distance from men, and remembering that it would be inappropriate to be too intimate in front of outsiders.
But she was so naturally close and... coquettish to this young man from Xudu that she probably didn't even notice that she had gone against the grain.
However, from her observations over the past two days, she is really more and more satisfied with this young man. This is probably the way a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at him, the more satisfied she becomes.
Zhou Zheng is a handsome man, although he has a certain coldness and arrogance, but he is really warm to Xixi and hurts in his heart.
He treated her like a treasure in his words and actions. Many times, he saw and did the little details that their parents couldn't see and couldn't do.
Born in such a family, with such cold and arrogant people, once your heart is moved, you will really be devoted to someone and love someone wholeheartedly.
She also understood that no matter how much they loved their daughter, they could not stay by her side and protect her for the rest of their lives.
If there is someone who cares about her as if it were his own life, then she will feel relieved.
"I'm going to clean up the study room upstairs. If Xiao Xu doesn't mind, can you rest there for a while?" Mother Wen put down the tea cup and looked at Xu Du.
"I don't mind, please excuse me." Xu Du nodded and said sincerely. In fact, he could do it in the living room downstairs, but he didn't want to reject her family's wishes.
Sure enough, Mother Wen was very satisfied after hearing this. She didn't refuse it too modestly, nor did she politely decline it.
This kind of sense of proportion is in place, and he is a big-minded person.
"Then Xixi, please sit with Xiao Xu for a while." Mother Wen stood up, walked two steps, stopped, turned around and said, "Don't forget to take your medicine, it's almost time."
"I know, Mom." Wenqing promised, she didn't like taking medicine the most, it was too bitter!
Mother Wen smiled and looked at Xiao Xu Zai beside her. She was not worried about her secretly throwing away the medicine.
Her daughter, she knew best, was very squeamish!
"Brother!" Seeing Wen's mother going upstairs, Wenqing hugged Xu Du's arm and shouted arrogantly.
"Xixi, be good!" Xu Du naturally knew what she was planning.
"I'm healed, really!" She said as if she was afraid that he wouldn't believe it, and took his hand to touch her forehead.
"Well, I have to take it too." Xu Du followed her movements and tested the temperature on her forehead. It was not hot and the temperature was normal. However, she still had to take the medicine to consolidate her body's recovery.
Her eyebrows drooped tenderly, and she let go of his arm childishly.
Xu Du rubbed her head, then stood up to get the medicine bag on the table, picked up the warm water that had been left to dry, and sat down next to her again.
"Be good, eat it. Brother will give you some candy." He poured out the medicine and put it in front of her, coaxing her.
Looking at the colorful pills on his palm, she resisted physically and frowned, looking at him pitifully.
Xu Du couldn't stand her looking at him like this, but... for the sake of her health, he couldn't help it, so he had to be good and "be good."
"You said, I can eat sweets after I finish eating." Looking at him like this, she knew that it was impossible not to take medicine, but thinking of the bitter taste, her mouth felt bitter, and her stomach was uncomfortable and she had acid reflux.
