Chapter 47: The son-in-law of the Song family
On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, the dough is haired, and the cake is steamed and the decals are appliquéd.
On this day, Chinese all over the world begin to prepare the staple food of the New Year, whether it is noodles or steamed buns. The ancients used peach wood as a wood to ward off evil spirits, and later it was gradually replaced by red paper. "Appliqué flowers" are red paper New Year's paintings, Spring Festival couplets, blessing words and window flowers, which entrust the blessings and yearning of the hard-working people for a better life.
As interns of Hengchuan Securities, on this day, Song Hewan and Jian Zhiyan can go back to their hometown for the New Year in advance.
Early in the morning, Jian Zhiyan picked up Song Hewan and set off to return to Song Hewan's hometown - Qingzhou. Qingzhou is next door to Ninghai City, but because Ninghai City is too large, it takes 2 hours to drive to Song's house.
Speaking of going home for the New Year, it was supposed to be said on Saturday, but Song Hewan hesitated for a few days before she told her parents last night that she would bring a classmate home for the New Year. In order to avoid her parents' suspicions, she first laid the groundwork for a long time - there was a classmate's parents who were busy with business abroad, and they couldn't come back for the New Year, so they wanted to leave him alone for the New Year.
Song Hewan talked around for a long time, and Song's father and Song's mother immediately only asked: "Boy or girl?" ”
Parents will grasp the key points, Song Hewan silently muttered in her heart, and sooner or later she couldn't get around this problem, so she stubbornly said: "It's a boy, but it's just a classmate, not anything else......"
The more she talked, the more she had no confidence, and her heart was very weak.
But I never expected that my parents were very happy, "Great, your little friends and classmates can be brought back conveniently." Mom and Dad also want to see what your classmates are like, and want to know how you usually get along with everyone. Besides, this is the New Year, and you can't let your children stay there alone. ”
This was completely unexpected by Song Hewan, she remembered that when she was in high school, her parents were still very old-fashioned, how could they change their faces when they went to college. She didn't forget that there was Mozart, so she took the opportunity to ask: "Then can I bring another big dog back, it was raised by my classmate, and I am worried that it will be hungry at home." ”
"Of course you can, you always say that you want to raise a dog, but your parents don't let you keep it, because they are afraid of delaying your studies. Anyway, it's a holiday now, so this time you can bring them all back and take good care of them. The smiling tone of his parents made Song Hewan and the second monk confused.
What's going on with them?
And Song's father and Song's mother, who hung up the phone, looked at each other and smiled, Song's mother was overjoyed, "As far as He Wan doesn't like to talk, I'm still worried that she won't be able to get a boyfriend at school!" Now it's okay, not only does she have a boyfriend, but she can also bring it back to us to see, just to help her check it. ”
Song Hewan's family is by the Gulan River in Qingzhou.
Qingzhou, a small bridge and flowing water.
The water system of the whole city extends in all directions, with simple and elegant stone bridges, canopy boats swaying and shuttling on the blue river, and rows of houses that exude the atmosphere of the times standing near the water and the small bridges and flowing water complement each other.
This is a typical water town in the south of the Yangtze River, quiet and leisurely, long and simple. The green mountains are hidden in the water, and the boats are painted and sung in the south of the Yangtze River. On the side of the bridge, the flute is playing in the rain.
Song's father and Song's mother knew that Song Hewan was going home today, and they were waiting at the gate early to welcome their daughter home.
Feeling cowardly in her hometown, this is the first time Song Hewan has gone home after being reborn. Her parents didn't know that their daughter had died once, and in this world, everything was going on as usual.
Fortunately, she has been reborn, otherwise how sad they would be if they lost their daughter, Song Hewan couldn't imagine.
Jian Zhiyan drove slowly over, the alley was narrow, and his car could only be parked in the few parking spaces at the entrance. After turning off the engine, the two people got out of the car, and Jian Zhiyan opened the trunk.
Watching him take out the gift bag in the trunk, Song Hewan looked shocked. "Aren't you all gifts for my parents?" She asked, confused.
"Come to your house for the New Year, how can I come empty-handed?" Jian Zhiyan looked at Song Hewan, with a smiling face clean and sincere.
"No, you don't have to be so polite, it feels weird...... Song Hewan said in a muffled voice.
"What's strange?"
"It's just a little bit like...... The son-in-law came to the door. The further she spoke, the quieter Song Hewan's voice became, and in the end it was like the buzzing of mosquitoes.
"What do you say it's like?" The corners of Jian Zhiyan's mouth rose, and he heard Song Hewan's words. She said that the son-in-law of the Song family, he listened comfortably, and wanted to hear the little girl say it again.
But Song Hewan shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's nothing, it's up to you." ”
On the other side, the enthusiastic neighbor aunt who loves to watch the lively and broken mouth ran to the courtyard of the Song family early. "Hey, your daughter is back, and she brought a tall and handsome young man, is it a son-in-law?"
When Song Mu heard it, she was tall and handsome? suddenly came to the spirit, and was about to rush out, but was pulled by Song's father. "Hey, I'm in a hurry, where are you going?"
"Go see He Wan, aren't you curious?"
"Be reserved, be reserved, and they'll be home soon." Dad Song pretended to say in a deep voice. He showed his composure, in fact, his heart is now more anxious than anyone else, and he doesn't know what his cabbage is bringing back!
While talking, Song Hewan and Jian Zhiyan walked over.
Song's father and Song's mother looked at it, and the boy who came from a distance had an elegant temperament, wearing a houndstooth wool jacket and a white turtleneck sweater inside.
Song Hewan's mother likes to watch idol dramas the most on weekdays, especially the handsome Xiaosheng, and when she saw Jian Zhiyan today, she felt as if she had seen the male protagonist of the TV series, and she was happy when she saw it.
"Dad, Mom, I'm back! Did you miss me? This is what my classmate Jian Zhiyan said to you on the phone. She pointed to Jian Zhiyan, and then pointed to the big dog she was leading, "This is Mozart, this is Jian Zhiyan's dog." ”
"Uncle and aunt, hello, my name is Jian Zhiyan, you can just call me Zhiyan. First time we met, I brought you some small gifts, thank you for taking you in. Jian Zhiyan's every move was calm and generous.
"Knowing that, this kid is really good-looking." Mother Song couldn't help but sigh from the bottom of her heart, and then saw the pile of gifts in Jian Zhiyan's hand and said, "Look at you kid, come here, what are you doing with so many things, it's too outward." Come here, kid, come inside. ”
The more Song Hewan's mother looked at Jian Zhiyan, the happier she became, and motioned for him to hurry into the house.
How can this kid be so handsome! It's so handsome! Song Hewan's mother was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth, and she really responded to that sentence - the mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at it, the happier she became.
"You and Wanwan are classmates?" Dad Song asked tentatively.
Jian Zhiyan thought for a while and replied solemnly: "For now, yes." ”
Song Hewan's father didn't expect Jian Zhiyan to be so honest, it seems that their old couple guessed well, even if their unenlightened daughter took this kid as a classmate and friend, but people still have other ideas in their hearts!
Hmph, it's not bad to look at this kid, and he has a vision.
Dad Song just wanted to open his mouth to ask, but Song Hewan interrupted him first. "Okay, you let the family take a breath, has Jian Zhiyan's room been cleaned up?"
"It's been cleaned up a long time ago, he sleeps in your room, you sleep in the study. I just heard you say yesterday that your mother cleaned it up overnight. Dad Song said.
"Uncle and aunt, let's sleep in the study and let He Wan sleep in her own room." Hearing Song Hewan's father's words, Jian Zhiyan blurted out.
Yo he, in front of us, you have to listen to the intimacy! is also "He Wan", Dad Song muttered in his heart.
"Zhiyan, don't be so polite, Wanwan used to sleep in the study often, she studied late in high school before, and she slept directly in the study every night." Song Mu explained.
"Okay, I'll take him upstairs first, and he can go to whichever room he wants." She paused, and then said, "Mom and Dad, I'll take him to settle down and then come down." ”
Mozart seemed very restrained when he first arrived in the unfamiliar environment, and he did not perform a lion dance for everyone today, nor did he show everyone the bridge of tearing up his family and running crazy, which made Jian Zhiyan feel a lot more relieved.
He pondered it for a moment, and decided that it would be better not to take Mozart upstairs, so he left Mozart on the first floor. "Uncle and aunt, it's very naughty, where is it better to leash it?"
The big dog understood that his master was hacking himself, and whined dissatisfiedly, which made Song's father and Song's mother laugh, they also liked dogs very much.
"It's okay, you don't need to be on a leash, I've been with Mozart twice, and it's still very well-behaved." Song Hewan said, she rubbed the big dog's head, and said to it softly: "Isn't it Mozart?" We're good for it! I'll take your master upstairs to see the room, don't run around downstairs! ”
The big dog whined twice, as if to say "yes". Then, it really obediently lay on the ground.
"It's so smart, it seems to understand what we say." Mother Song's eyes widened and she was very surprised.
When Mozart heard Song Mu's praise, he raised the dog's head, his expression was both proud and vigorous, "Of course, this dog is very smart." It is worthy of the family of a beautiful sister, and the dog is happy when she speaks, unlike the owner, who is the most annoying to the dog. ”
Its movements and demeanor fell in the eyes of Song's father and Song's mother, making them smile from ear to ear. No wonder my daughter has been clamoring for a dog, it's really interesting to see them, it's so rare!
"Mom and Dad, we're going upstairs." Song Hewan took Jian Zhiyan upstairs.
Song Hewan's home is a small two-story western-style building, and there is an additional small attic for a utility room.
The first floor is the living room, dining room and kitchen, as well as two bedrooms in the north and south, of which the south-facing one is where Song's father and Song's mother usually sleep, and the north-facing room only has a piano, where Song Hewan practiced the piano when she was a child.
On the second floor is a bedroom, a study, and a laundry room.
Song Hewan's bedroom is haze blue, which is very in line with her quiet temperament. The low-saturation haze blue background wall, with the cream-white bed, is simple and atmospheric, giving the whole room a unique mystery and romance.
It turned out that this was where she grew up and slept, Jian Zhiyan stood in the room, feeling every bit of this place, and imagining Song Hewan's growth in her mind.
Then, Song Hewan came to the study with Jian Zhiyan.
As soon as I opened the door, the large floor-to-ceiling bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books, and the walls were full of Song Hewan's awards and photos of her growth process.
Jian Zhiyan immediately said: "I'll just sleep here, it's very comfortable to look here." ”
