Chapter 16 Coming home is the best gift
"Mother Meng, I miss you so much." Mother Meng, who had just opened the door, was hugged by a white figure before she could see anyone clearly, and the soft and coquettish and familiar voice made the gentle Mother Meng's heart melt. Holding the girl in his arms, he gently patted Xia Yi's back like when he was a child and said, "You guys, you still know to come back, I thought you only had each other in your hearts, and you forgot about us old guys!" Mother Ning patted Xia Yi's back tenderly, while pretending to be angry and glaring at her tall and handsome son.
"Mom, let's go in first, what about my dad and Grandpa Xiayi?" Ning Meng looked at the two "children" who were hugging each other and blocking the door, and said with a smile.
"Shanshan, who's coming? Why haven't I made ...... tea with Wang Lao" Father Ning, who was playing chess with Xia Yi's grandfather in his study, didn't see the arrival of tea for a long time, put down the unfinished chess and ran out to see the tea made by Meng's mother, how could he not be accompanied by tea when playing chess? "Xia Yi, ...... you" Seeing that his son, who said he had gone to the United States a few days ago, suddenly appeared in front of him, Father Ning was full of questions, but in front of his unknowing lover, Father Ning chose to put aside his doubts for the time being.
"Xia Yi, I'm back, your grandfather is also in the study, you go and see him, Shanshan, it's just noon, and the two children haven't eaten, you go cook first, I have something to say with Ning Meng, I'll help later." Dad Ning arranged everyone present without a trace and in an orderly manner, worthy of Dad Ning Meng, this IQ, this EQ.
"Dad, I'll go to the United States the day after tomorrow." Ning Meng knew what his father was asking, and Ning Meng didn't intend to hide it in front of his father.
Ning's father, who was sitting in Ning Meng's room, looked out of the window of Ning Meng's desk and fell into deep thought.
Ning Meng was not in a hurry, just sat on his bed, the room seemed to be cleaned every day, and there seemed to be a faint smell of laundry detergent on the mattress.
"Ning Meng, since Xia Yi was kidnapped four years ago, you have changed all of a sudden, you were cheerful, optimistic, and gentle. But now you exude a sense of anger all over your body, only in front of Xia Yi will you be the same as before, except for these four people in this room, you are indifferent and alienated from others. Father Ning continued a little worriedly: "Ning Meng, you have loved Xia Yi since you were a child, everyone knows this, but people tend to be too persistent and easy to go to extremes. You want to succeed, you want to have the ability to protect Xia Yi and your mother to support you, but remember not to lose your original intention! Father Ning said to Ning Meng earnestly.
"Dad, I know. Thank you! However, as long as I remember that Xia Yi was implicated in her uncle's business at that time and was kidnapped, and I was unable to do anything, it was simply Ling Chi me, as long as Xia Yi was the legal heir of the Tang clan one day, such a thing would definitely not be eradicated in the future, I want to become stronger, only in this way can I protect what I want to protect...... Dad, you can help me talk to my mother about my trip to the United States. Ning Meng remembered the incident four years ago and was still afraid, he must become stronger, definitely.
"Grandpa, don't you see I'm here, don't be angry with Xia Yi! Isn't there a saying that "going home is the best gift?" You see, I brought you another gift. Isn't this gray tracksuit particularly suitable for you, didn't you just say that Dad Ning, Mom Meng, and you are okay in the afternoon, so let's five of us wear this 'family' outfit to the suburbs this afternoon, okay, okay? Grandpa, look at it, your granddaughter, your granddaughter begged you so much, can you bear to be disappointed with your granddaughter? Standing at the door and looking at Xia Yi who was coquettish and pretending to be pitiful, what else could he say, what else could he think. I've watched it for more than ten years, and I still have the rest of my life, but why don't I get tired of watching it no matter how much I look at it?
"Mom, Dad, I'm here to help you." Looking at his loving parents who were busy in the kitchen, Ning Meng felt a little redundant, but he still went to wash his hands and help.
"And me, and me. Father Ning, Mother Meng, go out and see the gifts prepared for you by Brother Ning Meng, my grandfather will explain it to you, I will also cook, and I will make scrambled eggs with tomatoes for you later. Xia Yi said happily like a lark, winking at Ning Meng, as if to say, "If they don't like it, just say that you did it."
