After drinking tea upstairs, I went downstairs to eat. The old man was helped by Yang Jingxing to sit down and said to his granddaughter, "Mengmeng, sit opposite." ”

Tao Meng hesitated for a moment and obeyed, and the old man said to Yang Jingxing, who was about to accompany him: "You also go over, go over, I'll take a look." ”

Yang Jingxing hey: "Xie Lu Xie Grandma." "Go and sit down next to Tao Meng indifferently.

The old man smiled kindly on the other side for a while and then reminded: "Xiao Yang, ask Mengmeng what she likes to eat." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I know better. ”

Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing and also reminded: "You ask grandma." ”

The old man said, "Leave me alone, I can't eat a little...... I'll have to measure the size later. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You are in such a good figure, it doesn't matter if you eat more." ”

The three of them discussed ordering food, Tao Meng, like her grandmother, likes some delicate and good-looking light vegetarian dishes, and Yang Jingxing also gave herself a very meat dish under her grandmother's insistence and Tao Meng's impatience.

The conversation continued, and the topic changed to food. The old man recalled that decades ago, hairy crabs and Songjiang sea bass were used by families who had no food to satisfy their hunger, but bird's nest abalone was still a good thing. It's just that the bird's nest was very good at that time, but now it is difficult to find. Yang Jingxing listened very happily.

After eating, Yang Jingxing gave Tao Meng vegetables. Tao Meng looked at her grandmother, and she couldn't go against the old man's smiling face, so she reluctantly accepted it.

Although the process was quite long, the old man basically didn't eat, and most of the time he just looked at the two young people. Yang Jingxing's gentleness towards Tao Meng is appropriate, and Tao Meng's coldness is not too much.

The old man also cared about how Yang Jingxing ate at school, and he had many friends: "...... Where's the girl friend?"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "There are some." ”

The old man said: "Mengmeng's grandfather was very chic when he was young, and the students of the girls' school knew him. ”

Yang Jingxing smiled: "I'm not as good as grandpa." ”

The old man said, "I'm very unhappy sometimes." ”

Yang Jingxing guessed: "Grandpa must also be unhappy, right?"

The old man said, "Wow, when I was young, I had a bad temper. ”

Tao Meng explained: "Grandma, he means that you are also popular. ”

The old man was very happy: "No, no, no, our relationship is very good." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Replace wine with tea, and toast you and grandpa's feelings." ”

The old man thanked him happily, Tao Meng wanted to criticize but was pulled in.

After eating, Yang Jingxing settled the bill, and his grandparents had no opinion. After the break, I went to find a tailor, and the old man was helped by Yang Jingxing to get into the car, and his steps were a lot more energetic.

Unlike the custom shop that Xiao Shuxia wants to take her son to, which is downstairs to eat, Tao Meng's grandmother's favorite tailor is still far away. Under Tao Meng's guidance, Yang Jingxing drove the car into an old street and stopped in front of an inconspicuous clothing store.

The decoration of the store is quite good, but there are only some cheongsam Tang costumes and other clothes hanging inside. The store was seen by a couple about 30 years old, watching a movie in front of the computer, and after seeing the old man who was supported by Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng, they hurriedly stood up to welcome them. The man said that the old man's complexion was getting better and better, and the woman praised Tao Meng: "Miss Tao is getting more and more beautiful." ”

The fox is fake and the tiger is mighty, and the man almost bowed to Yang Jingxing: "This gentleman, what do you call it?"

Grandma Tao Meng introduced with a smile: "Miss's friends, Yang Jingxing, Xiao Yang." ”

The couple was not disgusted by such a feudal cliché, and the man also shook hands with Yang Jingxing: "Mr. Yang, when you meet for the first time, take care of me." ”

Tao Meng and Yang Jingxing glanced at each other with a sharp heart.

The tailor soon came out to welcome the old patron, a short and thin old man of fifty or sixty years of age, whose hair was still black and shiny, and who politely welcomed the guests into the back room, while his son and daughter-in-law poured tea and water.

The old man praised Yang Jingxing's tailor's craftsmanship, saying that "Tailor Wang" was an old shop, and the previous generation cut clothes for the ladies and ladies in Shanghai.

Seeing that Yang Jingxing didn't know much about it, the tailor's son attracted him with the saying of the younger generation, that is, what celebrities wore cheongsams in that movie were made here, and so on, as evidenced by a group photo.

Yang Jingxing asked Tao Meng: "Have you worn it?"

Tao Meng shook his head decisively: "I don't like it." ”

Let's talk about it for a while, it turns out that Grandma Tao Meng came to make clothes for her seventy-fifth birthday. The old tailor said that seventy-five years old is a big birthday, and he has to do a special job, and he must prepare at least four or five sets of clothes, even if he only has a few months, he can still rush out of the old age.

After starting to measure the size, Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng continued to stay by the old man's side. I have to admire the perseverance of the woman in this regard, and the old lady stood for ten minutes without rest. Then you have to choose the fabric, which takes longer.

When I was sent out of the tailor's shop, it was already three o'clock. The old man forgot that he had said that he would go home early, and wanted to have afternoon tea again. Yang Jingxing kept in mind Tao Meng's request and did not let the old man's laughter be interrupted for more than five minutes. The old man not only drank tea, but also ate some snacks.

It was almost four o'clock when Tao Meng received her father's call, and she was not very happy: "...... Go home...... Ask Grandma yourself!"

The old man was very kind after taking the phone: "Qinghui...... What am I talking about...... Don't, Xiao Yang sent us. ”

Yang Jingxing sent his grandparents home, and the old man wanted to invite Yang Jingxing to his house for dinner, but this guy didn't give face and said that he had an appointment. The old man was not very happy, and Tao Meng had to come forward to confirm that Yang Jingxing had indeed made an appointment with the teacher to meet in the evening.

I didn't go to the parking lot, but sent it from the ground, and Yang Jingxing helped the old man to the elevator. As soon as Tao Meng swiped the card, he heard his father's voice: "Tao Meng...... You and your grandmother come up and tell your classmates to wait for me below. ”

The old man has a better way: "Go up, go up together." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "No need, grandma, you go up." ”

Tao Meng saw that Yang Jingxing didn't take a step, and dragged her grandmother who wanted to enter the elevator. The old man stretched out his hand to pull Yang Jingxing: "Xiao Yang, listen to grandma." ”

Yang Jingxing didn't dare to struggle and entered the elevator.

On the twelfth floor, it was soon there, the elevator door opened, and two young people held an old man hostage to confront a middle-aged couple, and a wait-and-see nanny. Tao Qinghui may have just arrived home and was still wearing a tie. He is about 1.75 meters tall, and although he is in his forties, he has not been blessed. Tao Qinghui has a more square face than Yang Jingxing, but he obviously doesn't bask in the sun, there are no traces of beard on his chin, his hair is thinner, and he has a little elegant taste.

Elegance is elegance, Tao Qinghui now looks at Yang Jingxing's expression, and there is no welcome in his eyes, but it is not indifferent, it is closer to seriousness and severity.

Yang Jingxing still smiled: "Mr. Tao is good." ”

Tao Qinghui's head nodded a little, his wife smiled, or his old mother was the most happy: "Go in...... chatting with Xiao Yang, the afternoon time was gone unconsciously. ”

Yang Jingxing waited for the old man to walk to the carpet and let go of his hand and said, "Grandma, you rest, I'll go first." ”

The old man refused, and raised his hand: "Rest, sit for a while, grandma wants to hear you play the piano." ”

Tao Qinghui, who was watched by his daughter, just turned his direction slightly, didn't stare at Yang Jingxing, and looked at his mother.

Yang Jingxing said to the old man: "There is a chance, it's too late today." ”

Tao Qinghui glanced at his daughter, and finally spoke: "I'll send you." ”

This is not in accordance with the rules, Tao Meng asked: "I'll send it." ”

Tao Qinghui didn't hear it, and reminded Yang Jingxing: "Go." ”

Grandma Tao Meng still refused, and was even a little stern: "Xiao Yang, don't worry, accompany grandma." ”

Tao Meng also seemed to have changed his mind and asked Yang Jingxing, "Is it too late?"

Tao Meng's stepmother spoke: "Something urgent?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I made an appointment with the teacher to eat in the evening, and it was not early. ”

Tao Qinghui ordered his daughter: "Sit with grandma." Look at Yang Jingxing: "Let's go." ”

Yang Jingxing was still polite: "Grandma will see you again." ”

Tao Meng watched Yang Jingxing and her father enter the elevator, the door closed, and her grandmother was still saying, "Xiao Yang, come and accompany grandma when you have time." ”

The two men in the elevator were shoulder to shoulder, and Yang Jingxing was upright. Just weightless, Yang Jingxing looked at Tao Qinghui: "Mr. Tao, do you have something to say to me?"

Except for putting his left hand in his trouser pocket, Tao Qinghui didn't move much.

After the elevator door opened again, Yang Jingxing didn't move, Tao Qinghui was unceremonious, and then quickly turned around and ordered Yang Jingxing, who had just raised his feet: "Come out." ”

Yang Jingxing went out, the elevator door was closed, and in order to keep a suitable distance from Tao Qinghui, he almost leaned his back to the elevator door.

Tao Qinghui wanted to look up at Yang Jingxing, but it was not so difficult, and he still had the upper hand in his expression, but he said good things: "Thank you Xie Lu today." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "No. ”

Tao Qinghui continued to look at Yang Jingxing, his right hand was half clenched into a fist, and his wrist was raised: "Are you pursuing Tao Meng to be your girlfriend?"

Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes." ”

Tao Qinghui was not surprised: "If you are ordinary friends, I have no objection." Boyfriend and girlfriend, I'm against it. ”

Yang Jingxing was not surprised: "Can I ask the reason?"

Tao Qinghui said: "Don't think too much, it's not a good opinion, I just think you're not suitable for Tao Meng." ”

Yang Jingxing hesitated slightly, lowered his gaze and raised it again: "Can I ask the reason?"

Tao Qinghui said seriously: "You don't need to know the Tao, I'm telling you not to disturb Tao Meng in the future." ”

Yang Jingxing was also serious: "I didn't want to disturb her." ”

Tao Qinghui frowned slightly, and his eyes changed a little: "You should understand what I said!"

Yang Jingxing bowed his head slightly, and his voice was also low: "Mr. Tao, I have known Tao Meng for almost four years, we were friends in high school, and we have always kept in touch in college. I liked her, so I pursued her, without a personal opinion, and I didn't find that I was not suitable for her. ”

Tao Qinghui advised: "You don't have to say this!"

Yang Jingxing still said: "I don't say this to defend myself, but to respect the relationship between me and Tao Meng, not just to say love, and not because you are Tao Meng's father." ”

Tao Qinghui looked at Yang Jingxing, his brows furrowed a little, and declared: "Don't think that I am unreasonable and arbitrarily prevent you from coming and going." I have no prejudices against you, so I will make it clear to you in person, you and Tao Meng are not suitable!"

Yang Jing's behavior was difficult: "Mr. Tao, I have to be responsible for myself and Tao Meng, your words can't convince me." ”

"You don't need to be responsible!" Tao Qinghui raised his voice, stared at Yang Jingxing's sincere eyes for a few seconds, and then lowered a little: "You just stay away from my daughter." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "If you said this a year ago, I wouldn't contradict you." But now, I can't give up halfway. ”

Tao Qinghui was a little surprised, and his hand was withdrawn from his trouser pocket: "How long have you started?"

Yang Jingxing said: "The correspondence between Tao Meng and me began in the third year of high school, when we helped and encouraged each other. I didn't pursue her for long, but Tao Meng didn't reject me, if I just gave up like this, whether she liked me or not, she would be unhappy. ”

Tao Qinghui stared at Yang Jingxing, a little angry: "My daughter doesn't want you to worry! That's all I have to say. ”

Seeing Tao Qinghui touch the empty trouser pocket and then go to ring the doorbell, Yang Jingxing hurriedly said: "Mr. Tao, you think about it again, I promise you that I will not hurt Tao Meng." ”

Tao Qinghui said loudly to the intercom: "Open the door!" After the elevator door opened, he walked in and looked back at Yang Jingxing: "You can't meet without my permission!"

After Tao Qinghui went upstairs, he saw his daughter sitting sullenly on the sofa, he didn't say anything, went directly to the study, and said to his wife who came with him: "Close the door." ”

Bai Shan closed the door and asked, "Are you done talking?"

Tao Qinghui was a little annoyed: "I said one sentence and he said three sentences, and he was ready for a long time." ”

Bai Shan was relieved: "Child, I am anxious. You too, you should ask your daughter what she thinks first. ”

Tao Qinghui regretted: "What do girls know at this age." ”

Bai Shan guessed: "What if my daughter likes it?"

Tao Qinghui shook his head: "You can't let them continue, let Mengmeng come in." ”

After being called, Tao Meng still sat on the sofa and refused to move, and was accompanied by her grandmother before going to her father's study. Tao Qinghui was very gentle with his daughter: "In the future, you must keep your distance from Yang Jingxing." ”

Tao Meng raised her head and glared, and looked at her grandmother after a long time.

The old man was also anxious and blamed his son: "What are you talking about? ”

Tao Qinghui looked at his daughter lovingly: "I also told Yang Jingxing, let him stop bothering you." ”

Tao Meng sat down, looking at his father's face without blinking.

Tao Qinghui continued: "I said, I don't object to you falling in love, but you have to choose someone, Yang Jingxing is not suitable for you." ”

Grandma Tao Meng disagreed: "This is what you said!"

Tao Qinghui pleaded: "Mom, you don't know this kind of person now. ”

Grandma Tao Meng exhaled angrily: "Xiao Yang is very good, talk about what's wrong with love, Meng Meng is so big!"

Tao Qinghui apologized to his daughter: "Mengmeng, Dad told you that I was sorry, but I didn't care enough about you, and now it's too sud......den."

Tao Meng suddenly remembered something, stood up and rushed out of the door, and then ran to his room. Tao Qinghui can chase after him, but he has to take care of his elderly mother with his wife, so he is locked out by his daughter.

After the phone was connected, Yang Jingxing first: "Hey...... What did your dad tell you?"

Tao Meng pinched the phone with both hands and was silent, but his breath was heavy.

Yang Jingxing continued: "Your father said that I was not allowed to pursue you, but he underestimated my cheekiness too much, so I didn't agree...... Or maybe he underestimated the appeal of Meng Meng too much. ”

Tao Meng's laughter was interrupted by tears before she could surface, and she squeezed out with difficulty: "I'm sorry." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "You should repent, if you weren't so beautiful and lovely, I wouldn't have been disciplined by your father." ”

Tao Meng cried: "...... You're annoying......"

Yang Jingxing was worried: "Don't let them hear it, otherwise you will have to discipline me even more...... But don't be angry with your father, he's for your good. ”

Tao Meng whined and cried: "He's not, he's a tyrant!"

Yang Jingxing smiled: "The tyrant will also feel sorry for the princess." Are you mad at your father?"

Tao Meng nodded and said, "I'm in my room...... They're out there. ”

Yang Jingxing asked, "Where's grandma?"

Tao Meng was sad: "...... It's calling me. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "Don't let grandma worry, and don't be angry with dad. ”

Tao Meng cried: "I don't want to see him...... Where are you?"

Yang Jingxing said: "In the car. ”

"You're gone!?" Tao Meng was worried.

Yang Jingxing said: "Not yet, I'll leave in a while." ”

Tao Meng asked, "Are you still going to see Teacher Hu?"

Yang Jingxing said: "I want to go." I'm not sad because I find that I like you more now, thank you dad. ”

Tao Meng cried again.

Yang Jingxing said: "Don't cry, go and talk to your father, I didn't tell him that you have promised to be my girlfriend." ”

Tao Meng was anxious: "Why don't you say anything?"

Yang Jingxing said: "Because he can't stop me from liking you, I'm angry with him!"

Tao Meng continued to cry: "...... I want to see you. ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I know the direction of your window, I'll drive over." ”

A minute later, Tao Meng saw Yang Jingxing downstairs from the window, and seemed to be waving at her.

Yang Jingxing heard the crying on the phone louder, so he said, "Don't cry, it's raining here." ”

Tao Meng was disobedient: "...... What should I do?"

Yang Jingxing said: "If your father insists, Mengmeng, Xie Lu Xie has everything you have done for so long." ”

Tao Meng shouted bitterly: "Not allowed...... You are not allowed to say it!"

Yang Jingxing said: "This is the worst plan, but I guess your father can't hold on to me." ”

Tao Meng breathed a sigh of relief: "You promise me!"

Yang Jingxing said: "I promise you. Now you go talk to your parents first, I hear them call you. ”

Tao Meng cried and made a difficult choice: "Okay, I'll call you later." ”

Yang Jingxing said: "I'll go first." ”

Tao Meng held back for a while and said, "Drive carefully." ”

Tao Qinghui, who was frightened by his daughter's scream, was in a hurry to hit the door, and his daughter suddenly opened the door. Look at Tao Meng's tear stains, as well as the open window, when the grandmother's cry went to hug her granddaughter, Meng Meng Meng kept screaming.

Tao Meng had that somewhat sluggish expression again, and the tears that kept oozing from the corners of his eyes seemed to contain resentment. Bai Shan hurriedly knelt down to the bay window, closed the window, and looked at her husband anxiously.

Tao Qinghui stood, swallowed his saliva, looked at his daughter and said, "My decision will not change." ”

Tao Meng didn't react much, just turned his head and closed his eyes. But when grandma was anxious, she comforted again and again: "No, no, what I said counts! Grandma likes Yang Jingxing." He scolded his son: "How can you say such things now!"

Tao Qinghui was quite calm: "Mengmeng, Dad knows that you are not happy, but Dad is very resolute in this matter, you can scold me." ”

Tao Meng didn't react. Bai Shan advised: "Don't talk about it yet...... You go out, and my grandmother and I accompany Mengmeng. ”
