Chapter 19: Homecoming
Qin Yan took Tong Ji's hand and walked towards his home where he grew up. The distance between the international hotel where they are located and Qin Yan's house is not too far, and it will take five minutes to walk there if you walk through the aisle. City Y is a city located at the junction of the river and the sea, the city is not large, but the residential areas are generally by the river. Qin Yan's home is in an old community by the river. Coming out of the International Hotel, they happened to pass by Qin Yan's former school on the way to Qin Yan's house, which also triggered Qin Yan's infinite memories: "Honey, look here, this is the old campus of my high school. Unfortunately, I didn't go to school here for a day. I was the first full-time boarding student at this school, and we moved to the campus in the east of the city, which was about 7-8 years ago. β
"Then you're miserable enough, you've been living a full-time boarding day and night since high school, leaving your parents, studying day and night, it must be very hard. Tong Ji looked at Qin Yan and said.
"Actually, it's okay, no matter what, those three years are also a very fulfilling memory. And to be honest, those three years gave me more of a complex feeling of society, to be honest, I miss it, and now, our interpersonal relationship is more of a disguise, and the innocence that used to be so innocent seems to have long since ceased to exist. Qin Yan said with a serious face.
At this moment, Tong Ji stopped and stood in front of Qin Yan, her height was a head shorter than Qin Yan, nearly 20 centimeters away. Qin Yan hurriedly stopped and looked at Tong Ji in puzzlement, it was obvious that Qin Yan didn't know what the meaning of Tong Hime's actions was. Tong Ji raised her hands and pinched Qin Yan's face, so that her own face was forced to make a smiling expression, and said: "It's always so fake and serious every day, and you won't lose a piece of meat when you smile!" Tong Ji said with a coquettish tone.
"Honey, are you nervous?You're about to meet your future parents-in-law, aren't you nervous?" Qin Yan quipped.
"What's so nervous, really, we're also the criminal police who have been at the scene of the murder, okay!" Tong Ji said pretending to be angry.
"Anyway, brother, how much money can you earn a month, your house and the address of your office in City B are all high-priced areas in the city center. Tong Ji flashed her big eyes and asked curiously.
"Actually, it's not much, it's hundreds of thousands of turnover a month, after all, people who are willing to spend money to do psychological counseling are not bad people, and my pricing is slightly lower than other psychological counselors, so relatively speaking, there are more customers, plus my fame, there are a lot of people. Qin Yan replied.
"I said what my brother is busy with all day long! It turns out that my brother is trying to earn money, and he doesn't have time to spend time with me. Saying that, Tong Ji pursed her mouth, pretending to be aggrieved is still very cute.
Seeing this, Qin Yan's cute appearance was about to melt, he pinched Tong Ji's puffed little face, and said, "It's not to give you a better life." As he spoke, he tapped Tong Ji's forehead with his hand: "So, you, just be mentally retarded beautifully." Qin Yan quipped. Tong Ji pretended to be angry and slapped Qin Yan's ribs with her hand.
"Alright, we're here. Saying that, the two of them came to Qin Yan's house - an old-fashioned seven-story building with no elevator, Qin Yan's house was on the sixth floor, which was still a bit tall for the two old men. Tong Ji hasn't climbed the building for a long time, and for Tong Hime, the six-story building is still a little bit high. Tong Ji was puzzled, why did Qin Yan's parents still live in such a tall building? How inconvenient it was to go up and down the stairs! So she asked Qin Yan the question in her heart, and Qin Yan replied: " Actually, it's not that I don't want them to change a house, it's just that they always feel that they want to save money for me as a bride price, although I don't want it either, but the old man just wants it to be so, and I can't help it, in fact, I've found a villa in the west of the city for them, on our side, the house price is really very low, and the house price in City B is completely incomparable, in fact, I go home today and hope that my dear can help me persuade them, and I will pay the full amount when I find time. β
looked back at Tong Ji, who was panting from the building, and said, "Actually, I work for you in addition to me, and I also work for my family." After a long climb, the two of them arrived at the door of Qin Yan's house. Qin Yan took out the key and opened the door, and when he entered the door, Qin Yan's mother was already standing at the door. Qin Yan's mother directly ignored Qin Yan's existence, directly took Tong Ji's hand, and said, "Why does such a good-looking girl fall in love with my pig." Child, if you suffer any grievances here in Qin Yan in the future, just tell me, see how I clean him up!"
"Mom, I'm your biological son!" Qin Yan said with a bitter face: "Mom, where is my dad?"
"Dead child, I haven't said anything about you yet, tell me about you! Don't tell your family about such a big thing as heart surgery, do you still have my mother?" As she spoke, tears flowed out of the corners of Qin Yan's mother's eyes. Seeing this, Qin Yan knelt down: "Mom, I was wrongγγγγγγ Qin Yan's mother wiped her tears and said to herself, "It's okay, it's good." Qin Yan hugged his mother and said, "Mom, I'm back." β
"Child, your dad went to buy seafood for you, dead child, come back suddenly, your dad got up early in the morning to rush to the sea to buy seafood, thinking that Tong Ji lives in an inland city, and has never eaten much seafood from our family, in order to buy the freshest, your father drove to the seaside fishing boat early in the morning to collect seafood. Qin Yan's mother said, "I'm coming back soon." β
Saying that, Mother Qin took Tong Hime's hand and came to the master bedroom, and took out a small box from the cabinet: "Tong Hime, we roughly know about you and Qin Yan, to be honest, we all approve of you as a daughter-in-law." Come, this is for you by your aunt, on our side, you must give some heirloom jewelry to the daughter-in-law who is about to pass through the door. You have put away this gold bracelet, this one, but my mother passed it on to me, and I hope that one day I can see it on the hands of my granddaughter or granddaughter-in-law. Then, in a few days, your uncle and I will go to City B to meet your parents and discuss marriage. β
"Auntie, actuallyγγγγγγ My parents are gone, and I only have one grandpa and grandma who adopted me. Tong Ji whispered, for fear that this would disgust Qin's mother. She had never told Qin Yan about this, and at this time, it happened that Qin Yan also heard it: "Honey, why don't you tell me about such a big thing!" Qin Yan was very surprised.
"Am I not afraid that after I say it, I will lose you. Tong Ji was very aggrieved and whispered.
"My dear, if you say it, I will love you even more. Qin Yan said.
At this time, Qin's mother took Tong Ji's hand and said, "Silly boy, how can we dislike you." In the future, you will treat me and your uncle as your parents, and this place as your home, don't worry, Qin Yan's kid can't say a word. β
Tong Ji smiled and nodded, feeling that it was his greatest luck to meet Qin Yan.
