Chapter 124: Request
Lin Yaxuan's father, Lin Ruofu, works at the Shanghai Academy of Maritime Sciences and is a professor-level researcher. Her mother, Zhao Xinfang, is a doctor and an attending physician at Union Hospital.
Zhou Liwen was very surprised when he learned about her parents' occupations, because he always thought that Lin Yaxuan's parents and Li Junhao's parents were both in the business world, but he didn't expect her to be from a scholarly family. No wonder the girl has a faint smell of books, growing up in such a high-level intellectual family, it is normal to be naturally nurtured.
The first time he came to the door, Zhou Liwen's preparation was still very sufficient, not only brought ordinary cigarettes, alcohol, health products and other things, but also deliberately took great pains to choose two special gifts.
A rare book of ancient books in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, and a set of elegant Meissen tea sets.
Lin Ruofu studies biology and is meticulous in his work, but his biggest hobby on weekdays is collecting books. As for the set of Maison tea set, of course, it is a gift to Zhao Xinfang, because from Lin Yaxuan's mouth, she learned that her mother developed the habit of drinking afternoon tea when she studied abroad, and Maison's porcelain is famous in the world, belonging to the spire porcelain brand, known for its elegant design, royal temperament, and pure handmade zuò, which is the most suitable gift.
Zhou Liwen's fondness really surprised the two elders, and in the face of this baby daughter's boyfriend, the gentle Lin Ruofu happily accepted the gift, and couldn't put it down and flipped through it on the spot.
"Lao Lin, look at you, let Xiao Zhou sit first." Seeing that her husband looked at her husband excitedly as soon as she met with a gift, she even threw Zhou Liwen, a guest, aside. Zhao Xinfang couldn't help but whisper a reminder on the side, Lin Ruofu came back to his senses at this time, and hurriedly beckoned Zhou Liwen to sit with a smile.
"I'm sorry, Xiao Zhou, I once saw this ancient book in a used bookstore, and I wanted to buy it back then, but unfortunately the other party said that it was a collection and refused to sell it, but I didn't expect to see the same one today, I was happy for a while, hehe......."
"It's okay, Uncle Lin, I won't hide it from you, I'm afraid this ancient book is the one you've seen." Zhou Liwen smiled and said: "I heard that you like to read, I asked a friend to specially get this ancient book, this ancient book turned out to be the internal collection in the used bookstore, if it weren't for the fact that the used bookstore is cleaning up the collection recently, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to get it." But I didn't expect it to be what you wanted, Uncle Lin, what a coincidence! Maybe that's fate. ”
"Yes!" Lin Ruofu was a little surprised, and hurriedly turned the ancient book in his hand to the last page, put on reading glasses and looked at it carefully, and suddenly smiled: "That's right!" That's right! That's it! Lin Ruofu happily handed the page to Zhou Liwen to see, pointed to the seals on it and said, "I remember these seals clearly, they must be right!" Fate, it's really fate! ”
Lin Ruofu couldn't close his mouth with a smile, Zhou Liwen's first impression on him was good, not to mention that he came here today to bring him this unexpected surprise. He didn't think that this would be the book that his daughter secretly told the young man that he had specially invested in his favor, because he had never mentioned it to his daughter, let alone his daughter, when he had fallen in love with an ancient book. Who would have thought that her daughter's boyfriend would bring this long-awaited ancient book to visit for the first time, as Zhou Liwen just said, this is really fate!
To be honest, Zhou Liwen didn't expect this effect, but looking at Lin Ruofu's excitement dancing with his hands, isn't this an unexpected good thing? He looked to the side, and it happened that Lin Yaxuan's gaze also looked at him, and the two of them laughed at the same time.
Lin Ruofu talked about sexuality, and chatted with Zhou Liwen about the origin of this ancient book, although Zhou Liwen was born in science, but he also dabbled in literature and history on weekdays.
After chatting for a while, Zhao Xinfang came in with the brewed black tea, and the tea set used was the set of Meissen brought by Zhou Liwen. Good tea with good tea sets, plus some delicate and delicious snacks, you can see that the hostess is elegant and knows how to live.
Seeing that her husband and Zhou Liwen were chatting speculatively, Zhao Xinfang just smiled and helped them make tea, and then sat aside and listened quietly, just interjecting a little in some topics, from this point of view, Lin Yaxuan's personality is more similar to her mother.
Although Zhou Liwen came to the door for the first time, he was no stranger to Zhou Liwen and Lin Ruofu and his wife, because they had already learned about Zhou Liwen's situation from Li Junhao's parents. For this boy, he was satisfied with the contact, especially Lin Ruofu was even more happy, because he thought that although Zhou Liwen was young, his personality was very stable, and it could be seen from the conversation that this was a child who valued affection, coupled with Zhou Liwen's speculation on topics in history and literature, which made him even more overjoyed. As for Zhao Xinfang, she pays more attention to Zhou Liwen's appearance, career and character, these Zhou Liwen makes her very relieved, sitting on the side and looking at him with a smile, just as the so-called mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, the more she looks at it, the happier she is.
Time flies, and after chatting all afternoon, it will soon be time for dinner. Lin Ruofu and his wife invited Zhou Liwen to dine at home, and Zhou Liwen was not polite, and agreed after saying thank you.
Zhao Xinfang's craftsmanship is good, several home-cooked dishes are full of color and fragrance, to say that Zhou Liwen's taste is a little lighter, but Zhao Xinfang, as a doctor, is also normal to cook with less salt due to his habit of self-cultivation, Zhou Liwen praised while eating, which made Zhao Xinfang even more happy.
"Xiao Zhou, we as parents won't interfere too much in the matter between you and Xiaoya. You young people, after all, you have to fall in love, and your children will have their own lives when they grow up, and you will always have to break away from your parents and start your own family in the future. After taking a sip of tea, Lin Ruofu glanced at his wife beside him, and after seeing Zhao Xinfang nodding slightly, he said to Zhou Liwen with a straight face.
"Thank you, uncle and aunt, please rest assured, I will not live up to your hopes and will definitely treat Xiaoya well." Zhou Liwen knew that this was the time for him to express his position, so he hurriedly stood up and solemnly promised.
"Good! That's it! Lin Ruofu nodded with satisfaction, and beckoned Zhou Liwen to sit down with a smile: "However, I have one condition, I hope you can agree to me." ”
"Please say, as long as I can do it, I will definitely say yes!"
"That's ......." Lin Ruofu glanced at her daughter who was shy and happy, thought for a while and said, "Xiaoya is still studying, she is a student, and there is still more than a year before graduation." Although we parents don't object to your love, there are some things that I hope to wait for Xiaoya to do after graduation, Xiao Zhou, I don't know if you understand what I mean? ”
Zhou Liwen's heart was relieved, he looked at Lin Yaxuan beside him with a smile, took her hand and said to Lin Ruofu and his wife seriously: "I understand, I can promise you and Auntie, however, I want to mention a suggestion, if Uncle and Aunt don't object......." With warmth and tenderness in his eyes, Zhou Liwen glanced at Lin Yaxuan deeply: "I plan to get engaged to Xiaoya first, and then do things after Xiaoya graduates, I don't know what my uncle and aunt think?" ”
