Chapter 0197: The Family
Xiao Yin is just that, Xiao Meow is really not suitable to take out to meet people.
Especially at such a sensitive moment.
followed the somewhat eccentric Jiang Liying to the door of her house, and Ma Liang was a little surprised.
I thought it would be a palatial villa or mountain villa, but I found it to be an ordinary house.
A small courtyard house, there are two small stone lions standing at the gate, as soon as you enter the door, you will see the common shadow wall in the north, on which there is a welcome pine made by Jiang's father splashing ink.
The paintings can only be regarded as ordinary, and with a layman's eye like him, he can also see the full craftsmanship.
The small courtyard behind the shadow wall is also very ordinary, the hall in the middle, the wings on both sides, and the yard is not planted with any exotic flowers and plants, but a small vegetable garden has been opened.
Several of the vines had lost their leaves, and two quacking ducks were walking around the fenced.
"Surprised?"
"No, it's very close to the people!"
Jiang Liying smiled: "What do you think my house is Longtan Tiger's Den?" ”
"I'm thinking, such a small courtyard house, which seems ordinary, may be able to buy my garden in the future."
"Nonsense, this is passed down by my grandmother, and she was a young lady in the old society."
"You can see it!"
"See what?"
"Look at you, you've inherited some of it, and some of the meaning of everyone's girlfriends."
“…… Are you praising me or am you hurting me? ”
Ma Liang shrugged his shoulders.
"You girl, how do you hang the guests outside? Come on in, there's no need to be so polite! ”
Ma Liang knew the reason why he felt weird.
looked at the gift in his hand - how did he feel like a hairy son-in-law came to the door for the first time?
"Let's go, what are you doing in a daze?"
Jiang Liying's eyes flickered, she lowered her head, and did not look at him.
The two walked across the courtyard and went straight to the hall.
When he walked to the door, a middle-aged man in a Tang costume greeted him, with a handsome appearance, elegant temperament, and a subtle smile, "Xiaoma, come in, the meals are ready." ”
This kind of treatment made Ma Liang feel more comfortable.
Politely shouted Uncle Jiang, presented the gift with both hands, and was welcomed like a living room, and saw the old-fashioned but warm interior decoration and layout.
Listening to Jiang Liying, her mother has been dead for many years, and Jiang's father, a big man with a divorced only daughter, can still maintain this style, I can't help but talk about this person's temperament.
The living room and dining room are connected, there are already a lot of home-cooked dishes on the table, and there are only three chairs, it seems that it is really an ordinary family banquet, and there are no outsiders.
After sitting down, Father Jiang opened a bottle of Moutai, filled it for Ma Liang personally, raised his glass, looked cautious, and said, "This cup is to thank you." ”
Ma Liang also stood up and said jokingly, "Thank you, I have to hear that the cocoon is coming, so don't be polite uncle." ”
"Huh!" , Father Jiang smiled heartily, glanced at his obviously silent daughter, and said, "She thanks her, I thank mine, each has nothing to do with it...... Here, let's cheers! ”
"Cheers!"
After a glass of wine, Ma Liang picked up the wine bottle and poured it for him, and finally it was his own.
"I've wanted to know you for a long time, but I haven't had a chance, you, the name of a concoction expert, I, an outsider in Shangjing, have heard of it. How's it going, it's going pretty well these days? ”
Ma Liang showed a wry smile and said, "Every day, this meeting, that bureau, this kind of invitation, that kind of banquet...... There are no less than five honorary titles. ”
"You're still young, and it's common sense to complain like that. However, the dragon can enter the shallows in order to swim in the sea, and the temporary trap is nothing, and the ...... of a lifetime"
"Dad, you're reasoning again!"
Father Jiang was stunned for a moment, then laughed dumbly, and said self-deprecatingly: "It's an old problem, and I made it if I didn't pay attention for a while." ”
Ma Liang hurriedly said, "No, what my uncle said is reasonable." ”
"Don't say it, don't say it, you know all these truths, we eat vegetables, eat vegetables!"
The taste of the food is very good, although it is not as exquisite as the hotel's celebrity chef, but it is more with Ma Liang's appetite.
He found that Father Jiang and Jiang Liying are really similar, not in terms of appearance, but in terms of temperament, charm and feeling.
When I first saw Jiang Liying, I felt that this woman was very peaceful, and after a period of contact, I felt that there were unyielding edges and edges hidden under this peace, and now, the relationship is closer, and I found the simplicity and indifference under this edges and edges.
Looking at this home and looking at the paintings and calligraphy of Jiang's father hanging around, this overall impression has been verified again.
A meal was the most comfortable Ma Liang had in Shangjing.
Except for a few words at the beginning, I talked about some trivial things in life throughout the whole process.
Father Jiang said that his yard, the grape trellis outside, the chickens and ducks in captivity, and the small vegetable patch, seem simple, but it is extremely troublesome to do it yourself.
Ma Liang also talked about some things about his hometown, his grandfather, divorced and irresponsible parents, what he saw and heard about rural life when he was a child, and so on.
Father Jiang listened and came to talk about sex, talking about going to the countryside to be a educated youth when he was young.
Two men of very different ages and identities chatted very speculatively, Jiang Liying was a little strange in addition to her inexplicable joy.
She recalled that from the time she met Ma Liang to the present, in addition to feeling that he was a little mysterious, her mental age was indeed older than her actual age.
The three of them were chatting into the alley, only to hear a crisp voice from outside: "Mom, Mom, Grandpa, Grandpa!" ”
Jiang Liying's expression changed and she went to see Father Jiang.
Father Jiang shook his head.
The father and daughter stood up, and before they could say anything, a small figure lifted the curtain and rushed in.
"Ah, you're eating, I happen to be hungry too, auntie, auntie, hurry up!"
It was a six or seven-year-old girl who came in, and she looked very cute.
Dressed exquisitely, with an arrogant look, as if no one was around.
"Why are you here?" , Jiang Liying asked.
"Auntie brought me here!" The little girl came to the table, looked at the food, and held her mouth, "Grandpa, my favorite Buddha's hand!" ”
Father Jiang did not show the kindness he deserved, saying, "What's the matter, politeness and rules? ”
The little girl went to see Ma Liang and said reluctantly: "Hello uncle!" ”
Ma Liang smiled.
At this time, a large number of footsteps approached, Jiang Liangying picked up the curtain and came in first, the first thing she saw was Ma Liang's direction, and then she said to Jiang's father: "Second uncle, Tingting, this dead girl has to take care of it, she is not big or small all day, and today the school called and said that she beat the male classmates in the class." ”
"Auntie, you are so gossipy, be careful that no one will want it in the future!"
"Dead girl......
Jiang Liying scolded sharply, "Fan Tingting, stand up and repeat what you just said!" ”
Get!
I finally had a comfortable meal, but now it's all ruined.
