Chapter 105: Calling Mom and Dad
Ouyang Zhengfeng and Ye Zhiqing left Xia Yao to have dinner together, and Xia Yao naturally agreed.
Today's dinner, Ye Zhiqing began to prepare carefully yesterday, and the nanny at home carefully wrote the recipes, and went to purchase it in person early this morning, picking the freshest and best ingredients.
Yu Tong pretended to be stupid, it was obvious that she was an outsider, she didn't speak, and no one took the initiative to talk to her, but she just didn't leave.
Things can't be done too much, she doesn't propose to leave, Ouyang Zhengfeng and Ye Zhiqing are of course embarrassed to give an eviction order, after all, they can be regarded as watching her grow up, it is impossible to become a daughter-in-law, and the friendship for many years is always there.
It was still early for dinner to start, and Ouyang Zhengfeng pulled Xia Yao to "play". Calligraphy and Go are Ouyang Zhengfeng's favorites in addition to academics, which can be counted as his entertainment. Xia Yao doesn't like it much, but she can handle it more or less, and she is a good partner for sparring.
The two had common interests and topics, and Ouyang Zhengfeng, who was silent, met Xia Yao and talked endlessly.
Playing calligraphy and Go, talking about ancient poetry and history, and talking about the art of war, from the art of war, to the current world pattern, current political news, international relations and dynamics, Xia Yao can all pick up the conversation and express some opinions from time to time.
Ouyang Zhengfeng is a university professor who knows a lot, and when he likes to listen to what he says, he is naturally willing to say it, and he has several times more words than usual. Xia Yao never interrupted his speech, and listened silently, very attentive. After Ouyang Zhengfeng finished speaking, she would not say a few words without saying much.
is just a few words, but she has repeatedly won the admiration of Ouyang Zhengfeng - this little girl has a wide range of knowledge and unique opinions, unlike most young people now, who play with their mobile phones all day long, only care about eating, drinking, and having fun plus the entertainment industry, and girls have more makeup and dress up at most, and the rest of the things - I don't know three questions.
Just like Yu Tong now, he can't interject at all. She tried her best to find a sense of existence for herself, but Xia Yao and Ouyang Zhengfeng chatted, she had difficulty understanding, and how could she express her opinion.
Once, she had no words to say: "Uncle, are you tired? Do you want to take a break? I'll go and peel fruit for you." ”
Ouyang Zhengfeng's voice was loud: "I'm not tired, how can I be tired chatting with Yaoyao!"
He looks at Xia Yao now like an old father looking at his daughter, the more he looks at it, the more he likes it, and the pampering is written on his face: "I haven't been so happy for a long time!
After praising Xia Yao, he turned to Yu Tong and politely said, "You can get whatever you want to eat." Got bored, went play by yourself and left us alone. ”
It's boring? It's boring for her.
He found that Ouyang Xun had not spoken all this time. She naively mistook him for the same ignorance of it as she did, and found it boring and dull.
"Brother Ouyang, shall we go out for a walk? or go downstairs and find a movie to watch?"
She stepped forward to pull Ouyang Xun's hand, but he dodged her.
"Go ahead, I'm not interested. He didn't look at her, his eyes were always on Xia Yao.
His father was not very good to him, but he loved Xia Yao so much, he was very happy about this, the better his family treated Xia Yao, the more relieved he was.
It's just that Xia Yao's attention is now on Ouyang Zhengfeng, and he is not convinced.
"Brother Ouyang, you also like calligraphy and Go?" Yu Tong was surprised. What I learned from my parents was that none of his interests and Ouyang Zhengfeng's preferences matched.
"General. I like to watch Yao Bao write calligraphy and play Go. ”
Yu Tong: "......"
Xia Yao: "......"
Xia Yao's hand holding the chess pieces shook, almost unsteady, and almost misplaced the chess pieces. Ouyang Zhengfeng looked away from the chessboard, glanced at Xia Yao, and snickered to himself.
This snickering was seen by Ouyang Xun.
How long has it been since the old man of his family had such a friendly reaction to what he said? It's really rare, Tuo Xia Yao's blessing made the old man feel so good, and he even looked at him with a pleasing eye.
During the meal, he finally knew why the old man looked at him with a pleasing eye.
"You kid, you finally did a reliable thing and found me such a good daughter-in-law!" After speaking, he toasted Xia Yao and Ouyang Xun with a glass of wine and drank it all.
Xia Yao was flattered, she was a junior, and she was facing her future father-in-law, a tenured professor of the Department of Architecture of Capital University. So he hurriedly got up and picked up his wine glass.
After only half a sip, the wine glass was snatched away by Ouyang Xun: "He wants to drink and let him drink, what do you force yourself to do." ”
"You kid, you don't know the rules as well as other girls. Ouyang Zhengfeng really just wanted to be happy and happy, so he could express it. When he said this, he was teasing Ouyang Xun. However, Xia Yao's strain fell in his eyes - it was done perfectly.
can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, talking about his Ouyang Zhengfeng's daughter-in-law, the best among women.
"You don't need rules to spoil your wife. Ouyang Xun returned the favor.
Ye Zhiqing glanced at him dissatisfied: Bastard boy, it's rare for your father to be in a good mood, it's rare to be so good to you, and he doesn't know how to be interested.
Unexpectedly, Ouyang Zhengfeng laughed: "The others are not like me, doing everything that is not doing their job, but this is the only one that has been inherited." ”
Ye Zhiqing's eyes widened - Ouyang Zhengfeng was really in a good mood tonight.
Ouyang Xun was present, choking with him, he was still in such a good mood to laugh, he had not had it in recent years. Every time I saw Ouyang Xun, I reflexively raised my face.
Ouyang Xun was also surprised, it had been a long time since he had heard such a hearty laugh from his father.
"Patronizing the hereditary one, forgetting the other. He got up and took the initiative to touch Ouyang Zhengfeng's wine glass.
Ouyang Zhengfeng was a little surprised, paused, and then picked it up and took a big sip.
The ice-breaking relationship between father and son is all in plain sight.
"Wife, this is a little early, so anxious? Then I'll hurry up and prepare for the banquet." ”
It turned out that Ouyang Zhengfeng could say that the wind was the rain more than Ye Zhiqing, and this enthusiasm was unbearable.
"Uncle, Xia Yao hasn't graduated yet. Forcibly left Yu Tong, who was eating, "kind" to remind.
"What's the big deal about graduating. As long as Yaoyao nods, tomorrow's wedding will be done!" Ouyang Zhengfeng didn't care, and he also saw through Yu Tong's little tricks.
This girl, everything else is okay, but she admits death here in Ouyang Xun. It's just that those aspects of "passable" are too far away from Xia Yao and a little dwarfed.
Xia Yao actually agreed with Yu Tong's words, but she was resolutely unwilling to stand on Yu Tong's side. Besides, in this way, it has saved Ouyang Zhengfeng's face!
"Uncle. She opened her mouth and deliberately opened the topic, "It's also thanks to Ouyang Xun that he entered the entertainment industry." If you hadn't been a fan of him, you might not have recognized him even if you met him ten times. And in terms of music, he is really talented and unbeatable. Although he is in the entertainment industry, he is out of the mud and not stained. ”
These words are said in Ouyang Zhengfeng's heart. These thoughts were just hidden in his subconscious, and he didn't think about them. Now that Xia Yao is so little, it really makes sense.
"Well, it's a pretty good mix. He nodded.
Ouyang Xun raised his head in surprise, met Ouyang Zhengfeng's meaningful gaze, and nodded solemnly.
The father and son can't say that there is much intimate interaction, in fact, silence is better than sound at this time. Those who understand will naturally understand.
Ye Zhiqing's eyes turned red.
She had been looking forward to this moment for too long.
She excitedly threw a grateful look at Xia Yao, who smiled back and didn't say anything.
***
"Yaoyao, thank you so much. I don't even know what to say. ”
After the meal, Xia Yao was in the kitchen to help clean up, and she also intended to let Ouyang Xun and his father be alone for a while. However, Yu Tong still didn't leave, as if it was his own home, watching the TV series in the living room, the father and son went to the terrace on the roof.
"Auntie, you're polite, I didn't do anything. She looked down and wiped the table, a little embarrassed by the compliment.
"What didn't you do?
"You're exaggerating. ”
"Don't call Auntie Auntie! Call Mom! Let's get familiar with it first!"
Yu Tong sat in the living room, the volume of the TV was turned down very low, and the conversation was basically heard clearly. Her hand holding the remote was tight and tight, and her knuckles were white.
She is not stupid, nor is she sluggish, and the attitude of the Ouyang couple towards her and towards Xia Yao is very different. Ouyang Zhengfeng has always been silent, and what can make him praise is what he likes very much and is satisfied.
and Ye Zhiqing. Although she has always been kind and elegant and decent to no one who can find fault with her, she can feel from the tone she hears now that her attitude towards Xia Yao obviously has a lot more intimacy. In contrast, to outsiders, for Kiri, it is polite and detached, and it is not easy to get close.
"Tongtong, don't you go back, it's too late, it's not safe on the road. Ye Zhiqing said that this really didn't mean to chase customers, it was all from the perspective of her safety.
"Oh, Daddy will come and pick me up. It's Xia Yao, you should go back early, where to live? If you are far away, you should leave early, you are not familiar with life here. ”
"No," Ye Zhiqing took Xia Yao's hand: "Yaoyao lives here tonight." ”
Xia Yao only then thought that Ouyang Xun had never mentioned where she would live tonight.
"It's not good, I'll go book a hotel, just around here. ”
The first visit to the house and stay?
"There's no such thing as a bad one. From now on, this is your own home, and you have to go out to live when you go home? Ye Zhiqing pretended to be unhappy.
Xia Yao was a little embarrassed.
"Just stay here. We don't feel at ease when a girl stays in a hotel alone. Ouyang Zhengfeng happened to go downstairs, and Ouyang Xun followed.
"Your mother is right, this is your own home, how can there be a reason to run out for the night. When I spread the news, I thought we were abusing our daughter-in-law. ”
Your mother's daughter-in-law?
It's been pressed the fast-forward button, right? It's so fast that I even lost the word "quasi".
"The guest room has long been cleaned up, opposite Xun'er's room. Or are you in the same room as Xun'er?" Ye Zhiqing winked at Xia Yao with ambiguous eyes, and then looked at Ouyang Xun.
Ouyang Xun was "a talent" and pretended not to see it.
What he thought was: whatever you sleep, you will come to my room in the end.
Xia Yao naturally didn't know Ouyang Old Fox Xun's abacus.
Traditions such as Ouyang Zhengfeng didn't say "inappropriate" this time, let alone Yu Tong, Ouyang Xun was surprised.
Only Ye Zhiqing knows that her family, etiquette is important, but his wife's happiness is above all else. She said that she wanted to tear down the ceiling, so Ouyang Zhengfeng had to tear it down.
The topic of where Xia Yao lived was interrupted by Yu Tong's exclamation: "Xia Yao, you broke Zhang Nier?"
After that, she handed the news that had just come out to Ouyang Zhengfeng.
