After Xiyan finished washing, he sat next to Tong Hao, took the iPad and watched the menu from the restaurant, turned the pages one by one, and shook his head with a helpless smile, "Tong Hao, look, the names of these dishes are so funny, isn't 'Phoenix Zhancaitang' just a steamed scallop with garlic?" Eh, look at the name of this dish, 'Liying Yao Chi Dance' (braised shark fin with abalone cucumber), and 'Arowana Yongde Shui' (steamed grouper), the original name of the dish can also be so literary...."

Tong Hao looked at her happily and said the names of the dishes on the menu, and responded softly, "Hmm." ”

"Actually, you don't have to eat in a big hotel, you can also eat in a small restaurant. My parents don't care about that, they may have some habits that you won't like... They're all honest people, so you can't be more tolerant of them. Xiyan said sincerely.

Tong Hao looked at Xiyan, who was lacking in confidence, and gently touched her chin with his hand, "Well, no matter how your parents are, I will tolerate them as you tolerate me." ”

Xiyan nodded movingly, "Hmm." She is very satisfied with all this that Tong Hao has arranged with her heart...

Xiyan ordered a few dishes that her parents liked to eat on the iPad, and also ordered Tong Hao and Tong Qianyun the foods they liked to eat, "Look at what else you have to add." ”

Tong Hao shook his head, "It's good if you decide." ”

Xiyan Yin is looking forward to the time to come soon, so that she can see her parents who miss day and night as soon as possible, and will accompany her parents every year during the winter and summer vacations for three years of graduate school, and she has been busy with work since graduation, and usually calls back a few times to chat with them...

No matter how prosperous and beautiful the outside world is, it can't compare to the warmth of family togetherFor parents who are over half a hundred years old, Xiyan is ashamed of Tong Hao on one side and her parents on the other, but for love, she chose Shanghai and chose to stay by Tong Hao's side

When she arrived at the airport, Xi Yan looked nervously and expectantly at Tong Hao and put her on her shoulder, Xi Yan glanced at him and asked with concern, "I don't know what big changes they have." ”

Tong Hao was the first to see the three people who came out of the exit, "Mom and Dad came out." ”

Xi Yan looked at the familiar face in surprise, completely unaware of the change in Tong Hao's title, she waved vigorously to the two elders with excitement

After the two elders saw it, they walked towards them, Xiyan took a few steps forward, looked at the cheeks that had been left 'wrinkled' by time, red eyes, and hugged Deng Chuntao, "Mom"

Deng Chuntao's eyes suddenly wet, "Yan Yan, mom came to see you." ”

Xiyan let go of Deng Chuntao and looked at Lu Xiangyu, with a little white hair on his head, wrinkles crawling all over his cheeks, and a slightly curved back, although he was not as great as when he was young, he was still standing in front of her as tall as a green mountain, "Dad." ”

Lu Xiangyu nodded at her and said with concern, "You've lost weight." ”

Xiyan shook her head, "Dad, you are." ”

Tong Hao looked at Lu Xiangyu and his wife, "Uncle, aunt, it's been a hard journey. ”

"Fortunately, it's much more comfortable to fly than to take the train." Lu Xiangyu replied.

"Uncle, aunt, get in the car first, I'll take you to dinner, and then go back to my house to rest!" Tong Hao asked.

Lu Xiangyu nodded, "I'm sorry for you." ”

Tong Hao looked at Xiao Wei, who had not spoken just now, and patted him on the shoulder, "Thank you." ”

Xiao Wei smiled and said, "Brother Hao, don't be so polite, it's also a blessing for you, so I have time to go home." I haven't been home in over a year. ”

"Where to go, I'll send you." Tong Hao asked.

"Brother Hao, no need, I asked my friend to meet the mentor."

"Okay, I'll treat you to dinner next time."

"Okay." Xiao Wei looked at Xiyan, "Senior sister, I didn't expect us to be fellow countrymen." ”

Xiyan looked at Xiao Wei gratefully, "Please send my parents over." ”

Xiao Wei shook his head, "If you want to thank Brother Hao, thank you." He arranged it. ”

Lu Xiangyu looked at Xiao Wei, "Xiao Wei, we have caused you trouble along the way." ”

"Uncle, don't say that."

Xiao Wei looked at the text message on his mobile phone, "Uncle, aunt, my friend urged me, I have to rush over, see you next time, take care of your body." ”

"Brother Hao, I'll withdraw first. Something call me. After saying that, Xiao Wei ran away from the airport.

Xiyan happily held Deng Chuntao's arm, "Mom, Dad, let's get in the car first." ”

Tong Hao took their package, "Uncle and aunt, you get in the car first." ”

In the car, Xiyan sat in the back seat with Lu Xiangyu and his wife, and asked with concern, "Mom and Dad, you won't get motion sickness." ”

"No, it's fast and comfortable to fly." Deng Chuntao said.

"Well, that's good."

"Dad, you're retiring this year."

"Hmm."

"It's good to retire and have a companion, at least the family won't be so lonely. I'm also going to wait for your dad to retire and return to his hometown, planting flowers and vegetables. Deng Chuntao said.

Lu Xiangyu is a construction engineer, engaged in the construction industry for 40 years, can be described as the old backbone of the construction industry, grew up in the countryside, at the age of 18 began to leave his hometown to work hard in Shenzhen, he has nothing but his own down-to-earth, insisted on struggling for 16 years before a small achievement, late in 34 years he had the experience of being a father for the first time Now he has reached the age of retirement, but he still wants to persist in his position for a lifetime for a few more years, so he signed a contract, at the end of this year, the contract expires, You have to officially retire.

Deng Chuntao is about to usher in the fiftieth birthday of her life, since the day she married Lu Xiangyu, she has been teaching her husband and children at home, taking care of the family in an orderly manner, so that Lu Xiangyu and Xiyan have a warm and happy family

"Are your parents planning to go back to their hometown?" Xiyan asked sadly.

"Hmm. The city is deserted, not as lively as the hometown. There is such an intention. And you always have to get married," Deng Chuntao said halfway through, but couldn't say anymore, her daughter grows up, she will always leave them, and she will have her own home and children in the future, and then work hard for her family, husband, and children all her life, which is a woman's ultimate destination

Lu Xiangyu is silent, he has always hidden his daughter's love very deeply, not as considerate and subtle as his mother's love, which can be seen everywhere, but as broad and deep as the sea, for the daughter who is about to marry someone else, he is reluctant and worried, he is afraid that she will marry badly, afraid that she will be wronged after marrying, and he will not be by her side to protect her

Xiyan felt so uncomfortable after hearing this, and a suppressed emotion overpowered her, if only everything could develop according to her wishes, she could not only be by Tong Hao's side, but also by her parents' side, watching them grow old little by little, but she doesn't have this ability at present

Lu Xiangyu saw the sullen sunset, "Yan Yan, Shanghai is really what you said: the combination of classical and fashion, the juxtaposition of the market and petty bourgeoisie, and modernity has always been at the forefront, is this why you linger?" ”

Xiyan touched the bridge of her nose embarrassedly, "Mom and Dad, you stay here for a few more days, I'll take you to play, Dad, you haven't seen the Jiangnan water towns and ancient towns in Shanghai." I love it there, and you will love it too. ”

Lu Xiangyu nodded, "Hmm." ”

"Mom and Dad"

Tong Hao looked at Xiyan who talked endlessly in front of the two elders, in fact, Xiyan is a child who will never grow up in their eyes, she has lived by their side for more than 25 years, and now because of her own intervention, she snatched away their beloved daughter, and they will also have a lot of reluctance, especially now that she has not been able to let the two elders live with them, so she can only let them wait anymore, one day, he will take the two elders to Shanghai and live with their daughter
