On the day Ke returned to Beijing, it was already afternoon when he stepped off the plane. Ke deliberately chose to come back on the weekend, so that his parents and Huiwen could go to the airport to pick him up together. When they saw him, his parents were very happy, and his mother also teased that he was fat, only Huiwen cried with joy and shed tears happily. There were a lot of people waiting for the bus at the airport, so they simply took a taxi so that they could get home quickly.

As soon as he entered the house, Xiao Ke opened his suitcase and gave his father the gift that Professor Oshima had entrusted him to bring to his father, and he also brought a lot of Nagoya special souvenirs to his parents. Mom said that it was almost time for dinner, and she had to hurry up and prepare dinner, Dad gave Mom a hand, and Huiwen also wanted to help, but Ke's mother didn't let her, saying that they hadn't seen each other for three years, so hurry up and have a good chat, and Huiwen didn't insist anymore.

Xiao Ke took Huiwen's hand into his room, took out a long brocade box from his bag, and then carefully held the brocade box in front of Huiwen with both hands. Huiwen asks what is in the box, and Xiao Ke asks her to guess. Huiwen coquettishly said that she couldn't guess, so Xiao Ke asked Huiwen to open it. Huiwen slowly opened the lid, and it turned out to be a white pearl necklace. Huiwen motioned for Xiao Ke to help her bring it, and after Xiao Ke put it on him a little clumsily, the crystal pearl with Huiwen's slender and straight neck was simply beautiful. Huiwen asked in a low voice: "Eh, aren't you usually very strapped for money, where do you get the money to buy this thing?"

"Half a year ago, one of my teacher's projects was a major success, and it happened to be related to my research topic, so the teacher gave me some funding and asked me to do a small part of it. Before returning to Japan, I heard that Nagoya necklaces were very famous, and many people bought them as gifts for their lovers, so I bought one. Xiao Ke rubbed his hands together and stammered, like a child who had done something wrong.

"I don't want to spend money on food, and I still buy this, I don't want it. Huiwen's nose was sore, and she almost cried again, she stopped talking and hugged Ke tightly from behind......

After an hour, Mom and Dad had cooked a table of food, and Mom whispered to them to come out to eat. Huiwen hurriedly tidied up her dress and came out to help serve the meal, and Xiao Ke hurriedly followed to serve the food. A dry-braised yellow croaker, a stir-fried shrimp, a chrysanthemum stewed old hen, served with four exquisite Suzhou-style cold dishes, and finally Xiao Ke's favorite eight-treasure rice, which his grandmother often made for him when he was a child. When Xiao Ke was in Japan, the school diet was very light, and when he saw such a sumptuous dinner, especially when his mother finally poured the hot honey juice on the eight treasure rice, his eyes narrowed.

"Mom, why do you cook so many dishes?"

"Isn't it like you're back, besides, the domestic conditions are much better now than they were before you left. ”

Dad opened a bottle of Bordeaux, which he had treasured for many years, and poured a glass for everyone. Professor Ke raised his glass with a smile, looked at Xiao Ke affectionately, then looked at Ke's mother and Huiwen, and said: "Today is a good day for our Xiao Ke to return to China after completing his studies, although I am busy with work over the years and rarely write to him, but I have always been very concerned about his situation in Japan, and I am clear about the progress he has made." I also read his graduation thesis, which has a certain depth. It is hoped that after he brings this knowledge back to China, he can quickly transform it into production capacity and better contribute to the country. ”

The mother glanced at Professor Ke with a smile, and said a little blamefully, "As soon as the child arrives home, he talks about work and a lot of hopes." Take a good rest for a few days and accompany Huiwen, they haven't seen each other for three years, and there must be something to say. Huiwen, do you say that?" Huiwen nodded again and again.

Professor Ke also hurriedly said, "Yes."

Yes, it's your mom who thinks about it. Don't rush the work first, take your time, you stay together for a few more days!"

The family toasted together as they spoke, and drank it all. After that, everyone happily tasted the wine and food, and asked Xiao Ke about everything that happened in Japan, and everyone present listened to every detail of Xiao Ke's words with relish, as if they never got tired of listening to it.

The wine was almost drunk, and the words were almost finished, the aunt coughed lightly, cleared her voice, looked at everyone solemnly, and said, "There is an important matter announced today!"

Xiao Ke smiled and said, "Mom, what's the matter, so serious?"

"Of course you have to be serious, this is a big deal in our family. According to the agreement between us and Huiwen before you went abroad, I asked Huiwen again for advice before you returned to China last week, and officially married you two at the beginning of next month. ”

Huiwen lowered her head shyly, not daring to look up at everyone.

"Why didn't you ask me, Mom?"

"This is all a matter that has been set before, and parents do not need to ask for your advice without special circumstances. Besides, Huiwen is now the backbone of the academy's key training, and it is the best age to talk about marriage, I heard that there are several unmarried doctors in their academy who are staring at her. You can think clearly, there is no such shop in this village, others can listen to you, and you can't decide this matter!"

Huiwen raised his head, glanced at Xiao Ke slowly, and said, "Yo, do you have any thoughts after the eldest prince goes abroad?" We are not worthy of you who have drunk foreign ink, and it is too late to regret it now." ”

"No, no, I just think I'm so old, why don't you tell me about such an important thing, right?" Xiao Ke saw that the limelight was wrong, and quickly stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

"It's called an unexpected surprise for you. Huiwen said teasingly to Xiao Ke.

"You have fallen in love from high school to college, and then to thousands of miles apart, and you have been in love for so many years, how difficult it is. Now that I've finally achieved positive results, it's too late to be happy. I think your mother is doing the right thing, what is there to discuss about this, let's do it next month, the sooner the better!" Professor Ke concluded.

In the following days, the family was busy arranging the marriage of a couple. Huiwen also took a few days off to decorate the new house together, and the new house was placed in Xiao Ke's current bedroom. The furniture in the bedroom was replaced with a new style according to Ke's mother's request, and Xiao Ke personally pasted the word Xi on the door and the wall of the bedroom, and hung large and small color stripes and paper lamps in the main places of the house. In addition to decorating his new house these days, Xiao Ke is also busy packing up all kinds of professional books and some personal belongings mailed back from Japan. The two of them were busy like this, scolding and scolding while flirting. Under the overall planning and command of Huiwen, in a few days, the new house was arranged in an orderly manner and full of festive atmosphere.

In the 90s, the wedding of Beijing intellectuals was relatively simple, and the couple had a meal with their parents and very close friends in a Beijing restaurant. Huiwen's father also felt that he didn't care enough about Huiwen so much, so he secretly gave his son-in-law a gift of 2,000 yuan before going to the table. During the banquet, he said a lot of words of thanks, thanking the Ke family for their care and care for Huiwen for so many years, and polite words such as being polite about what is not easy to do after passing the door. Ke's mother didn't think much of Huiwen's father's practices in her heart, so she casually dealt with a few words, and basically didn't pay much attention to the nurse's stepmother, but praised Huiwen's character and ability. Huiwen's father was very relieved and nodded yes again and again. During the banquet, Xiao Ke and Huiwen toasted to their parents very sincerely, thanking them for their years of nurturing. In the final stage of the wedding banquet, Huiwen calmly told everyone a good news. In view of Huiwen's excellent work in the hospital in the past three years, the party committee of the hospital discussed and decided to send Huiwen to a famous medical university in Beijing to study for a master's degree for three years. The wedding banquet reached a climax again, and everyone kept raising their glasses to congratulate the couple. In this way, the little wedding feast ended in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.
