Chapter 21: The History of the Chiyo Family
Walking into the house and handing the gift to Chiyo to put away, Lan Jiawei took a look, in addition to her parents, there was also a young man about 30 years old and about 180 tall, it was estimated that it was Chiyo's brother, who might have come in a hurry and didn't see her sister-in-law.
Looking at the age of Chiyo's brother, Lan Jiawei estimated in his heart that his parents were older than his own parents. Therefore, he saluted respectfully and changed his name to uncle and aunt. Fortunately for him, the family is all dressed in Western style, and they all use modern tables and chairs, if it is that kind of Japanese tatami mat or something, he will die of depression.
Then he muttered in his heart: "No wonder Chiyo's legs are not like those Japanese girls who have ugly compasses, and the sitting posture is very important." ”
A few people looked at Lan Jiawei with some smiling smiles, but Tachibana Taro spoke first: "Jiawei, don't mind if I call you that?" To introduce, this is my son, Chiyo's elder brother Tachibana Sokatsu. ”
Tachibana Zongsheng came up and shook hands with Lan Jiawei, looked at the guy who was a little stunned and said, "Don't be happy, we are all Americans, we won't bow indiscriminately, haha"
In a word, Lan Jiawei immediately fell in love with his eldest brother, and said in his heart: "This is what it looks like, very bold, you can be a buddy"
Lan Jiawei scratched his head in embarrassment, "yes, yes, I'm afraid of that, especially in the United States, seeing those etiquette, goes against my original intention of coming here." ”
Several members of the Tachibana family laughed, and Tataro Tachibana said to Mao's son-in-law: "This is all my wife wants to do some of this etiquette and that etiquette, the United States does not say that it is not polite, but this is a free country, and our father and son are not very used to it, let alone you"
Lady Yoko Tachibana rolled her eyes at her husband: "Jiawei, you talk to them, I'll go for dinner, don't be restrained, relax, it's okay", Lan Jiawei responded.
Yoko walked to the kitchen, and Chiyo wanted to follow up to help, but was stopped by her mother: "Accompany Jiawei, just go with your mother."
Tachibana Taro said to Lan Jiawei: "Sit down, you are so tall, standing makes me feel psychological"
A few people laughed again, and Lan Jiawei thought to himself: "My husband actually has a very good personality."
About the family, it's basically Chiyo's father asking, and the brother and sister are listening on the side and don't interject.
"So you are a minority in China, it's a pity, I can understand the family history and your land plot from what you said."
"Yes, in fact, my father's land complex is also very heavy, after all, he has been in contact with it"
As he was talking, Yoko had already prepared dinner, and Lan Jiawei was already looking forward to his mother's opportunity to compare his cooking skills with Yoko.
This family is very particular about food and is silent, and Lan Jiawei has a happy meal with his uncle and future uncle because he can send him back.
After dinner, Lan Jiawei was already very relaxed, and he and the Tachibana family were all sitting on the sofa chatting with drinks, Chiyo was already sitting next to him, and the other family members were acquiescing.
Tachibana Taro glanced at his daughter: "Yesterday you beat that kid, Chiyo came back and said, this is how a man should be, so I can rest assured that I will hand over my daughter to you." ”
The eldest brother also nodded: "Last time my sister called me, it was a very annoying guy, he did a good job, if you are cowardly, it will be difficult to enter this house"
Lan Jiawei smiled: "Natural selection, many things are like this, it is understandable."
At this time, Yoko also washed the dishes and chopsticks, sat down, and continued: "We all looked at the photos of the farm you sent to Chiyo, the area is quite large, but the crops are not good, I didn't pay attention when I bought them, right?" ”
Lan Jiawei smiled, "Actually, what I fancy is the future, as well as the environment and soil quality of the farm, which are related to my major", and then said the plan for the farm again.
Zong Sheng's eyes widened, "It's a big blueprint, you are a mountain plain, you should indeed focus on cash crops, according to what you said, the previous things were occupied and inefficient, and I would do the same." ”
The future mother-in-law seems to be more concerned about economic issues: "Jiawei, in fact, it is not impossible for you to auction the things of your ancestors, but you must leave some in the future and pass them on to future generations"
Chiyo couldn't help but answer at this time: "JAVY can't come to the United States to buy a farm without selling the inheritance, Mom, the land is actually more valuable, and JAVY's farm found the treasure of the Indians a few days ago, and saw that my earrings were not there, they were the contents of them." ”
Several people exclaimed, but Zong Sheng spoke: "Such good luck, it's really good, I've been working in Silicon Valley for a few years, and it's not worth you to go up the mountain once, haha."
"Actually, it was luck, killing a grizzly bear and finding it in its lair", Lan Jiawei knew in his heart that he couldn't hide his archery skills, so it was better to say it earlier.
Chiyo was not happy and knocked on her boyfriend's arm: "Just tell me the treasure, Grizzly didn't say it, what's going on?" ”
Looking at the other playful eyes, Lan Jiawei ignored the matter of the ball, and said that the meteor was a compound bow, and half-truths and half-truths about the process. Tachibana Taro and his son's eyes lit up: "Your archery skills are good?" ”
Lan Jiawei told the story of the so-called old people in the clan again, and lamented in his heart: "One lie brings the cover of thousands of lies."
"Wow", "Wow", including Chiyo once again exclaimed, Chiyo looked at her boyfriend's handsome side face: "I said, the fight is so powerful, people with dozens of kilograms slap and fly, no wonder."
At this time, Tachibana Taro gestured to his wife, nodded, and Yoko walked in.
looked at a few juniors who wanted to talk, and waved their hands: "Wait a minute, wait for your mother to come out."
It didn't take long for Yoko Tachibana to walk out, holding a bow in both hands, Lan Jiawei looked at it with a gleam in his eyes, this bow was very extraordinary, although there were many meteors, but from the point of view of the production process, it was not a modern item.
Tachibana Taro took the bow from his wife's hands with both hands, and said leisurely: "My ancestor was settled in Kyushu with Wang during the Ming Dynasty, this bow is claimed to have six stones, it is a reward given to Wang Zhi by Emperor Jiajing, and later passed on to our ancestors, and has been carefully cared for as a family heirloom, I can't pull it." ”
Then he glanced at Lan Jiawei: "Because I know from Chiyo that you are from H City, and it is Wang Zhi's hometown, I have a very close feeling, so I acquiesce to the matter of the two of you."
Zong Sheng took the bow from his father's hand, and held back the strength to eat before pulling it away a little: "Jiawei try it, I can't pull it, hey." After speaking, he handed the bow to Lan Jiawei.
Lan Jiawei smiled, he didn't dare to use all his strength, for fear of breaking the bow, he pulled it more than a dozen times easily, and he had already seen that the family could put down the mouth of the duck egg.
Chiyo on the side touched her boyfriend's arm: "Wow, youkai? Immortal? ”
Lan Jiawei shook his head with a wry smile and returned the bow to Tachibana Taro.
The uncle smiled and took the bow: "If you were born in ancient times, you would be a fierce general." Unfortunately, there are no arrows, so maybe there is a chance to visit your farm. Come on, I'll consider this bow as a dowry", Chiyo blushed and glanced at her boyfriend and father with delight.
