Chapter Eighty-Seven: Father and Mother Li
The villa is very medieval style, and the lights in the house are lit at this time, and it looks like a castle from a fairy tale. The closer I got to her, the more nervous I became, I felt this way when I was at the airport, and now I'm even more nervous.
Li Chu seemed to sense that something was wrong with her, grabbed her hand and squeezed it tightly before letting go. "It's okay, they're very kind, you don't have to worry",
"Hmm", with Li Chu's comfort, her heart quietly calmed down. The car drove through the iron gate, and soon a servant came to help carry the things. Li Chu led her into the villa, the living room was brightly lit, and two middle-aged couples were sitting on the sofa, and they immediately looked up when they saw them come in.
The middle-aged man over there knew at a glance that it was Li Chu's father, after all, the two were really similar, and the woman sitting next to him should be Li Chu's mother, which was really different from what he was worried about, although the middle-aged man had not smiled much, but he was a very approachable person like the gentle lady.
Starry Night doesn't understand, they can only guess by feeling. While she was observing carefully, Ye Wanqiu on the opposite side was also observing her. "Mom and Dad, she is the girl I told you about, surnamed Lin, called Starry Night. Starry night, this is my parents",
"Hello uncle and aunt", Xingye bent down slightly and nodded, and Ye Wanqiu on the opposite side hurriedly asked people to sit,
"Just sit down, just like your own home, you're welcome", she beckoned to the starry night, she looked at Li Chu and then slowly walked over there under his nod, and then sat down next to Li Chu's mother.
"The starry night is so beautiful, or Li Chu has vision, you haven't eaten yet, I asked people to prepare dinner, but it will take a while",
"Thank you, Auntie, I brought you and your uncle a little gift from country Z, some persimmons and old-fashioned snacks, it's not worth much, I hope you don't dislike it", she brought the things on the table, looking at these things I was embarrassed, and I don't know what I thought at the beginning I decided to send these things, it's really too unacceptable.
"It's Wang Ji's dim sum, I haven't eaten it for a long time, you delivered this thing in a timely manner, I just remember it in the past few days, I didn't expect you to send it",
"Auntie likes it", she breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, fortunately Li Chu's mother did not dislike it, as for his father Li Chu's side, he didn't need to bother anymore, and at this time, people chatted with his son just right and didn't need her to do more.
Li Chu's mother is very dignified, she doesn't look like an ordinary person, and she wears a cheongsam with a lot of taste, as if she was a young lady from a rich family in Shanghai when country Z was not liberated.
"Auntie is from Shanghai?", Li Chu's mother's surprise made her more sure,
"How do you know that Xingye is also from Shanghai?", Ye Wanqiu was surprised, after all, she hadn't been back for a long time, and no one except Moses knew where she was from.
Xingye didn't expect that he really guessed correctly, "I'm not from Shanghai, but I guessed when I saw that my aunt's temperament was different",
"Alas, I haven't been back for too long, and I'm slowly forgetting my birthplace", Ye Wanqiu patted the back of Xingye's hand, and her eyes showed kindness.
Xingye wondered, why Li Chu's mother was from country Z but didn't go back, looking at her, it seemed that she hadn't returned to country Z for a long time, but this was a matter of the elders, and it was estimated that there was something unspeakable, so this was not what she should ask.
Soon after they sat down, the soup steward came over and had already prepared dinner and invited them to the restaurant. The villa looks small from the outside, but in fact, there is a lot inside, at least it is not small, but it is very large, it can be said to be a miniature version of the castle.
The dining room was a long table, indeed like the dining style of the English aristocracy in the Middle Ages, but it may have been customary, the servants put their things away and left, and there were only four of them left in the dining room.
The dinner was very generous, I don't know if it was because they ate it all the time or because there were guests coming, but it didn't matter. may be afraid of her restraint, Li Chu's mother kept talking to herself, while Li Chu's father and son dined quietly.
Mrs. Ye's hospitality is difficult to resist, if she says that she knows that they eat and sleep silently, Li Chu's mother does not have to worry too much that she may be too impolite, so she can only pretend that she is used to it.
Sure enough, Mrs. Ye saw that she was not restrained, so she smiled and ate quietly. Dinner is both Chinese and Western, so don't worry about eating or not, after the meal the Wagners went upstairs, and the housekeeper also arranged a room for her.
Her room was on the opposite side of Li Chu's room, and his parents lived on the third floor, so in the evening the servants turned off the lights and went back to rest, and there were only two of them on the second floor.
The white and clean room has a lot of European decoration, and even the curtains and some fabrics have lace elements, which is antique and tasteful. The large soft bed was very comfortable, and she took a shower and lay on it and fell asleep quickly.
They arrived the night before Christmas, so the next day was already Christmas. Early in the morning, Starry Night heard the noise outside, she rubbed her eyes and sat up, the sky was still dark outside, but it was already very lively.
Through the window, you can see that the whole villa has been decorated with a Christmas tree and small light bulbs, which are all prepared for tonight. I heard that they have a family banquet tonight, so Li Chu and his parents should not be in the villa tonight.
She washed and dressed and went downstairs, and Li Chu's mother downstairs didn't know when she woke up and was making breakfast in the kitchen. It seemed that hearing her voice, Ye Wanqiu turned around and saw Starry Night going downstairs.
"I'm awake in the starry night, just wait for breakfast." At this time, she was wearing an apron, not as noble and dignified as when she saw her yesterday, but very gentle and close, just like the mother she remembered.
"Auntie, I'll help you", I'm awake, anyway, I have nothing to do to help, otherwise she doesn't think it's appropriate to sit and wait for the meal.
"It's okay, I'll just come, you can watch TV or go out for a walk, why don't you help me wake up Li Chu, it's already seven o'clock, and breakfast will be ready soon." Li Chu's mother didn't let her do it, she had no choice but to go up and call Li Chu.
This guy usually gets up the earliest, why hasn't he gotten up so late today, is it because he went home so he slept late? She stood at the door of Li Chu's room, raised her hand and knocked on the door twice, and the door card opened with a bang, revealing the person who was still sleepy-eyed inside.
"Auntie asked me to wake you up and get ready for breakfast",
"Come in, there's something for you".
She hesitated for a moment, and finally went in. Li Chu's room, how to say it, the color is very calm and clean, and the main tone of the white, gray and black room is basically this color.
Li Chu picked up a big box from the table and handed it to her for her to wear tonight, she looked at it, it seemed to be a dress, but didn't she have to go tonight?
Starry Night's puzzled gaze of course he saw it, it was true that he didn't plan to take her there tonight before, but in his selfish heart he still hoped that she could attend their family banquet, and his parents said that they didn't object but they were still worried.
