Chapter 64: Meeting with Mr. Chen
"The matter has been settled." After Chen Yuyao went out, Rushing Yu called the rosary, "Promise me, never do stupid things in the future." ”
"Not anymore." The rosary felt that the haze was gone, and the "Torrential Rain......" Da En did not say thank you, she paused, and said, "Let's see you in the 'Maokong' in a while, and I will invite you to dinner at noon." ”
“…… I'm afraid not", Rushing Rain said apologetically, "Rosary...... I may not have been able to go out lately. ”
Rosary surprised: "Why? ”
Rushing rain told her what Chen Yuyao said.
The rosary was silent for a moment and said, "I hope you don't become a second me." ”
"Rosary ......"
"I know what you think: you are not me, and Chen Yuyao is not Situ Que. But...... He's controlling you. "Any control is initially in the name of 'for your good', you have to think clearly for yourself." I'm not in a position to give you any pointers in this regard...... But watch out for yourselves, and don't repeat my mistakes. ”
"I see." Rushing Rain said in a solemn tone, "Rosary, thank you." ”
Hanging up, Rushing Rain walked to the balcony and stood for a while. The cold rain has not stopped, and the leaves of the ginkgo trees in the community have long since fallen, leaving only the bare branches, which is a little ugly. Suddenly, I thought of the Gu family's "Dongting Emperor" of the same age as the rosary, but I was afraid that only a thick torso would be left at this time, and the leaves would turn into mud.
Spring grows and summer grows, autumn harvest and winter storage, this is the natural law that they must follow.
She also has her own rules of survival to follow.
Until Chinese New Year's Eve, she did not take half a step out of the community. After the rain stopped, she would go for a morning run in the neighborhood as usual, have breakfast when she came back, and do housework after dinner, she liked the spotless appearance of the house.
Chen Yuyao didn't know about the double major, so she just brought a professional book back to read.
She herself belongs to the kind of person who is very "homely", in addition to her homework, she is also going to knit a sweater, so she is not looking forward to going out.
And Chen Yuyao also said that if she particularly wants to go to the mall, it is okay. Send a few people to follow her closely to protect her.
Torrential rain doesn't want to do this. Shopping is all about relaxation, and if it's uncomfortable, forget it.
She's not idle at home, so she's not bored. What's more, there is a turtle in the living room who is more familiar with the mystery of "winter hiding" than her.
Seeing that she was enjoying herself in her "home", Chen Yuyao didn't say anything anymore.
On Chinese New Year's Eve, Chen Yuyao told her: "You go with me to your uncle's house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tonight, he wants to see you." ”
Torrential Rain was taken aback, thought about it and shook his head, "Don't." ”
"Don't be afraid, uncle won't eat you again." Chen Yuyao said, "And I am by your side." ”
"How would he know about me?" Rushing Rain asked.
"Of course I told him." Chen Yuyao said with a smile.
The uncle asked him why he and Zhou Gongdu's sister had a good conversation a while ago, why they broke up suddenly. In the face of his uncle's inquiry, he naturally couldn't use words like "incompatible personalities" to perfunctory, so he told the truth, "I have a girl I want to spend my life with." ”
The uncle was surprised and asked him, "Who is it?" ”
"It's Situ Que's niece, but it's ...... I don't eat this bowl of rice at home. Chen Yuyao said, "We met when we were in Jinxi Town. ”
"Ah Que's cousin's niece?" Chen Yinjun was stunned, "That's very young, right?" ”
"Six years younger than me."
"Six, that's nothing." Uncle smiled, "I'm thirteen years older than your aunt." Xiao Yu, look at it, when is it convenient to bring it to sit at home? ”
In the past, such important festivals, the torrential rain was used to waiting, waiting for Chen Yuyao to return in the middle of the night.
As for where he was in the middle of the night and who he was with, she didn't care at all. It was the part that had nothing to do with her, and she didn't bother to ask.
I didn't expect that this year would be a different arrangement. It's not bad, she's just not used to it.
Rushing rain thought for a long time before replying to Chen Yuyao: "Okay."
When the time came, she cleaned up a little, put on light makeup and went out with Chen Yuyao.
As soon as S City arrives for the Chinese New Year, it is an empty city, and people who come to this city to work will go home one after another, and the shops opened by outsiders will also close one after another. But the locals came out to play, and there were more. Today's road conditions are not good, a bit congested.
"My uncle's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner starts at eight o'clock." Chen Yuyao looked at his watch and said with relief: "There are still 20 minutes at most, and we will be able to get to the place." ”
"Hmm." Rushing Rain responded while listening to the radio, "No hurry. ”
Chen Yuyao's uncle's house is in the wealthy area of Huxi in S City. They finally arrived at the place before eight o'clock, Chen Yuyao nodded to the security guard at the door, and the car drove smoothly into the community. It seems that he used to come over a lot.
Despite the harsh winter, the community is still lush with greenery. Verdant evergreens stand in two rows along the road, and there are pathways at the twists and turns, and the eyes are full of verdant.
"Usually there is only a nanny in the house, and my uncle rarely lives here." Chen Yuyao said, "As for my aunt and children, I live in Ottawa all year round. I'll only come back during the Chinese New Year, so don't be nervous later, I'll introduce you. With that, he squeezed the hand that shook the rain.
"Okay." Rushing Rain nodded obediently.
Chen Yuyao parked the car on the road, took her hand and walked to the door of a villa, "It's here." He rang the doorbell.
The door was quickly opened, and a middle-aged woman with slightly round and white cheeks poked her head out, "Young Master Yuyao is here." ”
"Aunt Wang, Happy New Year." Chen Yuyao greeted her with a smile.
"Happy New Year, Happy New Year." Aunt Wang also responded happily, opened the door and caught a glimpse of the torrential rain behind Chen Yuyao, and couldn't help but be surprised, "This is ......"
"Xiaoyu, my girlfriend. Her surname is Kim. Chen Yuyao said.
"Hello, Miss Kim." Aunt Wang said enthusiastically, bending down and taking out two pairs of slippers from the shoe cabinet in the entrance for them to change. "Thank you, Aunt Wang." Rushing Rain said politely.
Aunt Wang's eyebrows curled when she heard this, and she turned sideways, "Miss Jin is polite, please come inside." ”
Rushing Yu nodded with a smile and followed Chen Yuyao's side.
The ground floor is covered with black marble, the ornate crystal chandeliers reflect the light, the walls are hung with "Fauvism" paintings, which have an artistic atmosphere, and the living room activity area is covered with white blankets. Extravagant but not floating, but invisibly stressful.
"Where's my uncle?" Chen Yuyao asked.
"Light rain." Rushing Rain turned her head when she heard the sound, wondering who was calling her.
At the staircase, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses was walking down, "You're here?" ”
He caught a glimpse of the torrential rain, and his smile became more kind, "And bring a distinguished guest." ”
Torrential rain bowed slightly, as a sign of respect. It seems that he is Chen Yuyao's uncle Chen Yinjun. I didn't expect him to look so elegant.
Chen Yinjun smiled and instructed Aunt Wang: "Go and call the wife and the children to come down." ”
"Yes, sir!" Aunt Wang replied crisply. But instead of rushing to the stairs, he turned around and walked to another place.
Rushing rain looked at her figure only to find that there was an elevator in the living room, and Aunt Wang was trying to save time.
Chen Yuyao's uncle, however, did not rush this time, and exercised his body, as soon as their car came, he saw it through the upstairs window, and then slowly walked down the stairs.
"Light rain." He stepped forward to look at his nephew and called again, "Why don't you hurry up and introduce me?" ”
Only then did Rushing Rain understand that he was calling "Xiao Yu" instead of "Xiao Yu". Every time she heard his call, she couldn't help but reflexively look up at him.
Chen Yuyao also seemed to have discovered this, and his mouth grinned directly to his ears. "Uncle, her name is also Xiaoyu. His full name is Kim Rush Rain. I am studying at J University, and I am currently a freshman. ”
"J big?" Chen Yinjun beckoned them to sit down and asked Rush Yu cordially, "What major did you study?" ”
"Biochemistry Major." Torrential rain replied.
"Yo," Chen Yinjun was a little surprised, and then praised, "There are not many girls who study engineering." ”
Rushing rain smiled, in fact, there are many girls in science and engineering at J University. But she obviously couldn't argue with Chen Yinjun.
Chen Yuyao shook her hand, "You can just call 'uncle' like me." ”
The torrential rain was as good as a stream, and he shyly called "uncle".
Chen Yinjun was very happy when he heard this, "That's how it should be called." ”
At this time, his wife walked out of the elevator with the children and Aunt Wang, and the noise of the children was immediately drowned out. Rushing Rain noticed that the middle-aged man's expression on the other side immediately softened.
When the youngest daughter pounced on him, he hurriedly got up and bent down to pick her up, and said in a doting tone: "Brother Yuyao has been sitting below for a long time, and Nan Nan and her mother have come down." Is it because you're too abrasive? ”
"It's not." The youngest daughter tilted her head and complained angrily: "It's the second brother, the second brother is playing with a remote-controlled car, and the eldest brother told him several times but he refused to come down." ”
"No, Daddy, don't listen to nonsense." A young boy, about eight or nine years old, retorted loudly, "She had to recomb her messy braids to lose time." ”
Seeing that the "big brother" in the little girl's mouth was actually in her teens, Rushing Yu stood next to her mother with a smile and did not participate in the arguments between her younger brother and sister.
Chen Yinjun gently put down his little daughter and beckoned to them, "Okay, come here." ”
The youngest daughter looked at the rain curiously, "There is a big sister here." ”
"That's right, it's a big sister." Her mother stepped forward and said softly to her daughter, "Go and ask the big sister, what do you like to eat?" In the evening we had Chinese New Year's Eve dinner together. She said as she smiled and nodded at the rain.
Rushing rain followed Chen Yuyao and called "aunt".
When the youngest daughter heard this, she turned her head and asked her mother, "Big sister, why did she call you aunt with Brother Yuyao?" ”
"Stupid!" The second brother, who was not a few years older than her, said, "That's because she is Yu Yao's brother's girlfriend!" ”
"Yo, you know a lot." Chen Yuyao's uncle joked with his son.
Then he introduced the rain one by one. In addition to knowing that the name of the hostess of the Chen family is "Wenling", they also know that the eldest son of the Chen family is thirteen years old this year and is called "Ting'an", the second son is eight years old and is called "Xing'an", and the youngest daughter is only six years old this year and is called "Jing'an".
The Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was held on a large round table, which was not a traditional S City feature, and in order to take care of the three mother and son of the Chen family, who live abroad all year round, a table of Chinese and Western dinner was made.
After Rushing Rain sat down next to Chen Yuyao, Chen Yinjun's youngest daughter jumped off her father's lap and ran over and sat on the left hand side of Rushing Rain.
She asked Rush Rain, "Why did you come to our house for Chinese New Year's Eve?" ”
Rushing Rain thought for a moment, "Your brother Yuyao asked me to come." ”
"Brother Yuyao asked you to come, you will come", the little girl's two big eyes flickered, "Why do you listen to him so much?" Then you come to our house for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, then can't you not go back to your own house to eat? Are your mom and dad very sad? ”
In the face of this crisp question, Rush Yu was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer.
"Hello!" The mother scolded her little daughter softly, "My sister came to our house as a guest, you have to do your best to be a good landlord, how can you ask questions so rudely?" ”
"What do you mean by 'local friendship'?" The youngest daughter looked puzzled.
"'The friendship of landlords' means 'the master of a place must have prestige'." The second brother Xing'an admonished his sister seriously.
"Poof...... "Big Brother Ting's Rao" is no matter how steady he is, he can't help laughing, he said, "What the landlord's friendship says is that as a host, you must treat the guests well." ”
Rushing rain skimmed his face, just met Chen Yuyao's gaze, and the two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"It's better for my eldest son to have a better foundation in Chinese studies." Chen Yinjun looked at Chen Yuyao and Rushing Rain and commented with a smile.
When the youngest daughter heard her father say this, she couldn't help but say, "What the eldest brother said is right." Then she looked at the torrential rain and said in a soft voice, "I'm sorry, big sister." I shouldn't have asked you those words just now. Don't worry, I'll take good care of you for the rest of the day. ”
Everyone laughed when he said this. Rushing Rain smiled and shook her hand, "Then thank you, Nannan." ”
"You're welcome." The little girl said, "I have to do my 'landlord's friendship.'"
Everyone listened to it and enjoyed it, and the atmosphere was very warm. A meal that tastes like a family carnival.
She thought that Uncle Chen Yuyao would ask her something about the family, but from beginning to end, Chen Yinjun didn't mention it, and asked about the most heavy rain, that is, about schoolwork. Chen Yinjun's conversation is extraordinary, and his tone is very amiable when he talks to her.
But Torrential Rain knew that it was only one side of his many faces.
Next, except for occasionally answering her aunt Wen Ling's questions and interacting with the little girl, she just sat quietly on the side the rest of the time, listening to Chen Yinjun's uncle and nephew talk about things.
This point fell in Chen Yinjun's eyes, and he was a little more satisfied with her.
