Chapter 194 Full Moon Reunion
After a while, the four of them came to Tang Jingjing's uncle and aunt's house, called their uncle Tang Lexi, aunt Xiao Xiujuan, and younger brother Tang Jiayan, and the seven of them returned the same way and went to Tang Jingjing's house for dinner.
-------------------------
Walking into the villa, Gu Xueer only had one feeling, it was clean and tidy, surprisingly clean and tidy. There was not a speck of dust to be found in the huge villa, the sunlight was shining and pure, and everything seemed to be meticulously placed as if it had been set in a fixed pattern, as if it were a soldier waiting to be read.
Seeing this level of cleanliness and tidiness, Gu Xue'er couldn't help but think, don't Wei Lin's parents eat fireworks in the world?
Gu Xue'er couldn't help but grimace at Wei Lin, meaning that your house is clean and scary, and I am embarrassed to come in.
"Ugly daughters-in-law always want to see their in-laws, let's go." Wei Lin whispered in Gu Xue'er's ear, nudging her forward.
Dongfang Ying slowly walked down from the upper floor, only to see that her hair was meticulously combed, her face was also covered with simple and delicate makeup, and she was dressed neatly, necklaces, earrings, and watches were not bad, not at all dressed casually like a family woman, except for the thin and moderate leather slippers on her feet, which did not look too formal.
Wei Zhiguo is also extremely well-dressed, but relatively casual, with a faint smile on his face.
"Hello uncle and aunt." Gu Xue'er greeted the elders politely.
"Sit down." There is no need to deliberately create it, Oriental Film gives people the feeling of the Queen Mother Lafayette, arrogant, extravagant, and atmospheric.
Gu Xue'er nodded lightly, and sat down next to Wei Lin, not knowing what to say, a little at a loss. And she found that Dongfang Ying was not only sitting upright, but also sitting on the sofa with only half of her buttocks. So, she moved forward a little.
Without anyone to explain, the maid served all kinds of fruits, snacks, and drinks, and moved briskly and steadily, without saying a word, and then quietly withdrew after arranging.
"Mom and Dad, these are the gifts that Cher has carefully selected for you, I hope you can like it." Wei Lin hurriedly spoke out to break the short and dull silence. He thought that his mother had figured it out before letting Xue'er come to the house, but he didn't expect his mother to be so cold. I was a little angry, but I couldn't help but want to give it a try.
"Okay." Wei Zhiguo took the thing with a smile and put it aside. But Dongfang Ying didn't say anything.
"Taste this." Wei Lin picked up a winter date and stuffed it to Gu Xue'er, and found that her hands were cold and cold.
"This is Taiwan's winter dates, Wei Lin has loved to eat this since he was a child, you can try it too." Dongfang Ying laughed softly, then picked up a grape and ate it, his movements were extremely elegant.
"Oh." Gu Xue'er put the winter dates in her mouth, sweet, but the crunchy sound was particularly harsh, and finally she simply swallowed it slowly in her mouth.
"Are you a native of Yanjing?" Dongfang Ying asked.
"Hmm." Gu Xue'er nodded lightly.
"How many brothers and sisters are there in the family?" Dongfang Ying didn't look at anyone, just asked softly.
"I have an older brother." Gu Xue'er was a little hot because she was nervous, her throat was dry, and her voice was not loud but a little sharp, she coughed lightly before she felt slightly better.
"Are your parents from the countryside?" Dongfang Ying asked with an eyebrow. Able to have two children, either from an ethnic minority or from an agricultural household.
"Well, but they haven't farmed for a long time." Gu Xue'er tried to make herself smile.
"What is your brother doing now? Married? Oriental Image generally asked.
"He opened a store that sells electrical appliances and just got married the year before last." Although she was a little displeased, Gu Xue'er still replied one by one.
"Is the store rented?" Dongfang Ying looked at the other party and asked.
"Because of the land requisition." Gu Xue'er said.
"No wonder." Dongfang Ying had a clear look.
Gu Xue'er didn't say anything when she heard it, after all, the woman in front of her was Wei Lin's mother, and the other party did have the capital to laugh at others.
"Are your parents well?" Dongfang Ying asked without any expression.
"They're all fine, and now they're helping my brother take care of my little nephew." Gu Xue'er said.
Wei Lin was a little angry, but after receiving Gu Xue'er's gaze several times, he gave up. He knew what Gu Xue'er was thinking, and he also knew that Gu Xue'er was forbearing, so he couldn't help but feel a little distressed.
"Master and Mrs. have dinner." The maid stopped about a meter and a half away from the sofa and whispered.
"Okay." Dongfang Ying took the lead in getting up after speaking, and did not greet the guests.
"Let's go, let's eat." Instead, Wei Zhiguo sent out an invitation.
"Let's go." Wei Lin pulled Gu Xue'er and walked out. His attitude was obvious, meaning to leave and stop eating at home.
"This way." Gu Xue'er smiled and pulled Wei Lin back.
Dongfang Ying didn't have to look back to know what was going on. Father said that this girl was good, and she wanted to see it.
When she came to the restaurant, Gu Xueer saw that there were ten kinds of dishes on the round table, and the dishes were extraordinarily exquisite and exquisite. However, the plates are not too big, and the portions of each dish are not too large, almost enough for four people.
During the banquet, no one said a word and ate quietly.
Gu Xue'er also became extraordinarily ladylike, and she didn't make any noise when she ate. But she herself knew that those vegetables would get into her stomach as they were, so she didn't eat much.
Wei Lin naturally saw Gu Xue'er's discomfort, he was very angry, and he didn't eat much, and those meals were almost sideways.
Dongfang Ying and Wei Zhiguo didn't seem to be affected, and ate slowly as usual. In fact, they also have their own thoughts.
After the meal, Wei Lin found a suitable excuse and dragged Gu Xue'er away, Dongfang Ying and Wei Zhiguo were like mirrors in their hearts, but they didn't say anything to stay.
---------------------------
From hearing the news yesterday to today, Song Bingran has been sitting in the study without eating or drinking, holding a black and white photo in his hand, which is exactly the same as the one Alyssa saw. The people in the photo are smiling happily, which is in stark contrast to Song Bingran's grief at this time.
Twenty-four years ago, Song Bingran, who had worked hard outside and achieved a small success, returned to Xiaojing Village, preparing to marry his lover, but he didn't think that she was already a wife and a mother.
She said that she was doing well, her husband loved her very much, she said that she was very happy, and she loved her husband, but there was clear deception in her eyes, and she should love herself.
Song Bingran decided to take her away, but she was rejected, and she refused so simply.
That night, he drank a lot of wine, and the two had some transcendent relationships in a daze.
She cried, and he woke up.
Later, he left, no longer set foot in the place that haunted him, and it was more than twenty years, but he didn't expect that it would be the last time they met.
How many times he had met her in a dream, she told herself that she was fine, it turned out that everything was lying to herself, it turned out that she was long gone.
Could it be that she really loves her husband? Otherwise, why would she be willing to give up her life to give birth to a son for her husband? Or was she atoning for that infidelity? Or, is this her punishment for herself?
Now that I think about it, she is so beautiful, her husband must have loved her very much, otherwise he would not have died of depression after her death. It seems that what I once imagined was just imagination.
Fortunately, she still has a pair of children left in the world, who can make up for her past mistakes a little, and she can do something for the people she loves when she lives.
Gently putting away the old photo that had been treasured for many years, Song Bingran took a deep breath and stood up.
Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, Song Bingran is going to go to various departments to condole, the focus is, of course, to take a look at Ai Zheming.
In the afternoon, Song Bingran went around one department after another, which naturally attracted the excitement of these employees. When he came to the Foreign Propaganda Department, Song Bingran stayed for a lot longer. On the surface, he expressed concern for the newly established department, but in fact he was observing Ai Zheming.
The eyebrows are clear and beautiful, and he looks like a mother, Song Bingran commented in his heart. Suddenly, he remembered that Ai Zheming should be the author of Alyssa's portrait, but at that time, he glanced at it in a hurry, and Ai Zheming's face was full of ink. It turned out that they had already met.
Looking at Ai Zheming again, Song Bingran set off for the next department. He loves art and knows how to appreciate paintings, and he feels that Ai Zheming's artistic talent should not be buried in such a place.
The matter of planning the event came to an end, and the External Propaganda Department had nothing to do recently, so everyone sat together and laughed.
After sending Song Bingran away, several people began to twitter again.
"Zheming, why do I think the chairman seems to be secretly looking at you?" Feng Jiangang smiled half-jokingly and half-seriously.
Mingwei's ability is quite good, and he has not been working for a long time, and many jobs have been made clear. It's just that he doesn't fit in well, and every time everyone chats, he just listens and rarely speaks, and this time too. However, he has the same feeling as Feng Jiangang.
"I think so, too." It's rare for Uzhna to laugh so happily and participate. Maybe it's because they're going to have a holiday tomorrow, or maybe it's because their activities this year have been highly praised by the leaders.
"Don't make fun of me, I think the chairman admires Mingwei more and praises him." Ai Zheming smiled.
"Why did you get involved with me again? I also think the chairman is looking at you. Mingwei said with a grin. He only reacts when others mention him, and he speaks in a way and his expression is in place.
"Don't be so bulliful." Ai Zheming smiled, very speechless.
"Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, have you figured out how to spend it?" Seeing that Ai Zheming was a little embarrassed, Urina changed the subject.
After a long time, Ai Zheming felt that the big sister of Wu Rina was quite good in terms of character and ability. Although she is usually a little stern, she does not have the cold feeling that she gives people during the interview.
"This year, there are just three days off, I'm going to take my daughter-in-law and son to play, I've booked all the tickets, what about you?" Feng Jiangang said with a smile.
"It's still the same, parents and children on both sides spend time together, and it's lively." Uzhna laughed.
……
Hearing these words, Ai Zheming was a little sad. The Mid-Autumn Festival is full moon, but he has never enjoyed the feeling of being with his parents.
