After a few people laughed, Ah Wei turned to look at Mu Xichun, walked slowly to her, put away the smile that had been showing on his face, his expression became deep, and he said in an extremely soft tone: "Xichun, I'm back!" ”

On the side, I clearly saw the warmth in his eyes, and I didn't hide it at all.

Mu Xichun's eyes were a little evasive, as if she was a little uncomfortable with this sudden gentleness, and she was at a loss for a moment, but she quickly adjusted her mood, smiled and said loudly: "It's good to come back, lest Uncle Xu always complain that you don't come back to help him, you don't know how many times Uncle Xu has accused you in front of my father!" ”

Ah Wei stared at Mu Xichun for a few seconds, and then suddenly lowered his head and smiled: "Yes, if I stay abroad for a while, I'm afraid you'll forget about me." ”

"Why, you're my buddy since I was a child!" Mu Xichun said as he reached out and hammered Ah Wei on the chest.

Ah Wei's eyes seemed to flash with a touch of sadness, but it was only fleeting, he no longer paid attention to Mu Xichun and turned his head to look at me.

"Who is this?" He turned to Mu Xichun suspiciously.

I didn't wait for Mu Xichun to open his mouth and say first: "My name is Wei Jinsheng, and I am Xichun's friend, hello!" I smiled and held out my right hand.

Ah Wei hesitated slightly, then stretched out his hand and shook it with me and said, "My name is Xu Jiawei, and I am also a friend of Xichun!" ”

Ah Wei looked at me with a smile, but I seemed to see that his smile was just as fake as I was.

At this time, the two aunts in the kitchen had already learned from the two little guys who didn't know when to run into the kitchen, and they almost ran out of the kitchen, especially Aunt Wu, who didn't care about the presence of outsiders at the moment she saw Ah Wei, almost rushed over and hugged her son, and muttered in a faint crying tone: "Stinky boy, do you still know to come back?" Do you know you have parents? You stinky boy! ”

Ah Wei's expression was a little embarrassed, and he patted her mother's back and whispered, "Mom! This is in Uncle Mu's house, how embarrassed you are for your son! ”

At this time, Mu Xichun's mother, Aunt Qin, stepped forward and said to Ah Wei with a smile: "What is there to be embarrassed about this child, do you know how much your mother misses you!" When was the last time you came back, I'm afraid you don't even remember yourself, right? What a disfilial piety! ”

Ah Wei made a grievance and cried with a sad face: "Aunt Qin, I know it's wrong, I won't go anywhere in the future!" ”

"That's right! Look what you think you think! ”

Several men in the room did not speak, and they all smiled at the scene of the mother and son meeting, indeed, in the eyes of the two families, this is indeed an extremely warm scene.

It was just that this scene made me a little sad, and I suddenly remembered my mother, and thought to myself, how good it would be if she was still alive...... lowered his head slightly, and couldn't bear to look at this warm scene again.

Mu Xichun, who was standing beside me, seemed to be aware of this slight change in me, as if she had guessed what I was thinking from my expression and the scene in front of me, and secretly shook my hand.

Aunt Wu finally let go of her son, and slapped her son with red eyes: "Stinky boy, dare to run to see me in the future, I won't break your dog's legs!" ”

Ah Wei shrugged his shoulders and said, "Mom, I promise not to run around in the future, but even if you run around occasionally, you can't break my dog's legs, and I will rely on these dog's legs to serve you two elders in the future!" ”

The room full of people was amused by the man again, and even his mother, whose eyes were still red, burst into laughter.

"Okay, Mom, you hurry up and go to the most dish with Aunt Qin, I'm going to starve to death." Ah Wei turned her mother around and pushed her in the direction of the kitchen.

After the two women entered the kitchen, Ah Wei returned to the living room, his eyes accidentally saw the chess game on the coffee table, and said to Mu Zhongren as if he suddenly remembered something: "Uncle Mu still likes to play chess so much, it seems that I have prepared the right gift this time, I promise that Uncle Mu will like it!" As he spoke, he went to fetch the suitcase that had been placed aside when he entered the door.

Mu Zhongren listened to his words and seemed to be quite expectant, wanting to see what kind of gift would make him promise that he would definitely like it, and his eyes kept following Ah Wei's feet

Step.

Ah Wei opened the suitcase and took out a square wooden box from the inside, which looked quite old from the outside, and he didn't know what it contained.

He gently put the wooden box on the coffee table and said, "This is what I brought back from the UK, although it was brought back from the UK, it was ours, and it was also something from the Northern Song Dynasty, Uncle Mu, you take a good look!" As he spoke, he slowly opened the wooden box.

After the wooden box is fully opened, the contents of it finally appear in front of several people in the living room, only to see dozens of wooden carved objects in the box, under a closer look, you can clearly distinguish the shape of the shape of the horse, the car, the cannon, and the shape of the person, lifelike, the end is the car is the car, the horse is the horse cannon, and it is a pair of chess......

Mu Zhongren's eyes were slightly stunned and his brows frowned slightly, and he carefully picked up a chess piece, rubbing it in his palm, and the expression of surprise on his face gradually rippled.

My heart suddenly felt like it had been inadvertently hammered with a mallet, and it was sullen, and it took a long time before it began to ache faintly. This situation makes me feel that God is deliberately teasing me, if it is not so, how can there be such a coincidence in the world?

Seeing this scene, Mu Xichun looked at me with trepidation, she could probably empathize with my mood at the moment, and walked to me and grabbed my hand that trembled slightly with some worry.

I glanced back at her and forcibly smiled at her to show that I was okay, maybe my smile was too ugly, Mu Xichun not only did not show a worried expression, but added a trace of shame, the idea of buying chess was proposed by her, and now that she has encountered such an embarrassing situation, she feels that it is all her responsibility.

I wanted to say something to comfort her, but I didn't say anything.

I saw Ah Wei still talking endlessly about how he brought this chess game back to China after several twists and turns, and its thrilling twists and turns are not much better than any Hollywood treasure hunting blockbuster.

Mu Zhongren listened intently to his narration, nodded incessantly, and his eyes gradually became bright.

Ah Wei said, and took out a plastic appraisal certificate full of English from the bottom of the box, handed it to Mu Zhongren and said, "Uncle Mu, look, this is the appraisal certificate of the European Union Institute of Antiquities." It is marked with the origin and age of this chess set. ”

Mu Zhongren took the appraisal certificate and looked at it carefully for a long time, and then carefully put the paper back in the box.

He sighed and said, "Ah Wei! What you did is very meaningful, this is our Chinese cultural relics, I don't know when it was taken away by foreign powers, and now you let it return to China, it can be regarded as returning to its original owner, and I think it is also a contribution to the country. It's just that the gift is too expensive, where can I afford it, you better take it back. ”

Ah Wei smiled faintly and said: "Uncle Mu didn't know, I didn't plan to bring it back, I just saw it, I suddenly remembered that uncle, you have a hobby of collecting and playing chess, so I came up with the idea of bringing it back to my uncle, but I didn't expect that today is my uncle's birthday, and it is just right for my little nephew to give it to my uncle as a birthday gift." If my uncle refuses to accept it, then it really doesn't make any sense for me to do this, as for whether this is contributing to the country? To be honest, little nephew, my consciousness is not so high! ”

"This is a piece of the little nephew's heart, if Uncle Mu postpones it any longer, it will only make the little nephew feel that he has done something stupid!"

I can't help but admire, what I said is clear and logical, I have the original intention and then I have a long-cherished wish, and finally I use my feelings as a protection, which can be described as leaky.

I think it was difficult for Mu Zhongren to accept it after hearing this.

Sure enough, Mu Zhongren hesitated for a moment and finally nodded: "Okay, since Ah Wei has this intention, if I refuse again, I am afraid it will be difficult to avoid hypocrisy, then my uncle will accept it!" ”

Xu Yongchang saw that Mu Zhongren agreed to accept this gift and said with a smile: "That's right, you should accept the child's filial piety!" ”

Mu Zhongren looked at Xu Yongchang and said with a smile: "Although I like this thing very much, you must know that this is a national treasure-level cultural relic, and I am really inevitable."

A little scared, in the future, if Ah Wei needs my help, you can just ask, as long as I can do it, I will help you. ”

Ah Wei hurriedly thanked with a happy face: "Thank you, uncle!" ”

At this time, the two children playing in the living room seemed to be attracted by the conversation here, and ran over with their heads probed, and saw the box of chess carved vividly on the coffee table, and suddenly became interested, and ran forward to reach out to take it.

Mu Zhongren hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it, and took the two children into his arms and said lovingly: "Xiaolong Xiaohu, this thing is not a toy, you can't play with this!" ”

The slightly older child named Xiaolong said in a milky voice, "Why can't Grandpa Mu play?" It's a toy! You see, there are horses and carts! ”

Mu Zhongren smiled and patiently explained: "Xiaolong Xiaohu doesn't know, this thing was left by people in ancient times, and the gold is expensive, if you accidentally break it, it won't be good!" ”

The two children didn't seem to understand, although they couldn't understand Mu Zhongren's meaning, they could roughly understand that they couldn't play with these little things. Suddenly, the little eyes skimmed the half-played golden silk nanmu chess next to him, and the little eyes turned to the chess game and asked Mu Zhongren: "Grandpa Mu, can you play those?" ”

Mu Zhongren smiled and said, "Those won't be bad, you can naturally play!" If you want to play, take it and play it! ”

The two boys got permission and ran over from Mu Zhongren's arms excitedly, one took a few and ran to the side to put it down, then turned back and continued to take it, until a few back and forth after all the chess on the table was transferred to their territory, and then they played excitedly, and from time to time there were chess pieces rolling around on the floor.

At this moment, my heart was like being taken out and thrown on the floor to be ruthlessly trampled on, and at the same time, my dignity was trampled on! It's not that I feel sorry for the more than 5,800 golden silk nanmu chess, but I feel sorry for the sincerity I have paid but I don't cherish it.

I suddenly became a little angry, I was angry why Mu Zhongren made it so obvious to favor one over the other? Is it just because the gifts I give are not as precious as others? Is it because I am sending ordinary golden silk nanmu and others are sending antiques, I can put my mind on the ground and trample on it without any worries?

My blood was getting up, my breathing was starting to get rapid, and I could even hear my own heart thumping.

Just when my emotions were almost out of control, Mu Xichun suddenly took my arm and said to me, "It's about to be dinner, you go and help me clean up the table!" After speaking, he turned his head and said to the other people, "You guys are also ready to eat!" ”

Mu Xichun pulled me to the restaurant, and said to me in a somewhat apologetic and anxious tone: "I'm sorry, I really didn't expect Ah Wei to come back at this time, let alone that he would give this gift to Dad!" ”

"I know you must be sad and angry, Dad did not do it properly. But I beg you if you can bear with me in the face and don't have a seizure, your performance is especially important at this time, and you must not leave a bad impression on my father. Promise me, okay? She looked at me with an expression of almost pleading.

I took a deep breath and tried to calm my emotions down. Mu Xichun is right, I must endure it at this time, I must hold back! No matter how insulting I receive, I can't have a seizure, I have to hold back......

Because tonight is not only me meeting his parents as Mu Xichun's boyfriend, but also tonight is her father's birthday, if I make something unpleasant tonight, I'm afraid it is probably impossible for me and Mu Xichun to get Mu Zhongren's consent.
