0005 Panicked parents
After taking a shower, the discomfort caused by the plane and the express train was basically gone, Xu Bansheng opened the bathroom door and saw his mother standing in the room with a smile on her face, obviously waiting for him for a long time.
Looking at the middle-aged woman in front of him who was almost fifty years old, the corners of her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to herself, and without any proof, Xu Bansheng also knew that this was her mother-in-law.
It's just that after entering Xu's house, he couldn't shout "Mom" all the time. From birth to now, he has never seen his parents and relatives at all, so far, all the people he has dealt with are only Master, Widow Li and the couple who run a halogen products company, today plus the flight attendant on the plane, Xia Miaoran, can barely be counted as the manager and general manager of the airport, let alone with relatives, even if it is dealing with people, it is a slightly difficult thing for Xu Bansheng.
When he first saw his parents appear at the gate of the community, he saw his parents crying, and there were some ripples in his heart, but after all, they were just ripples.
He knew that this woman wished he could call her "Mommy", and he also knew that his parents had entrusted him to Master for a last resort, and he didn't blame them, but he just couldn't say those two words.
In turn, it was his father who comforted him. Xu Ruxuan said: "Don't worry, let's get used to it slowly, we haven't seen each other in the past eighteen years, and I've really wronged you." ”
When she first came out, the woman in front of her named Qin Nannan, who was Xu Bansheng's mother, was still smiling, but soon, her eyes turned red again.
Taking the bath towel in Xu Bansheng's hand, Qin Nannan secretly wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes first, looking at the young man in front of him who had grown up but his body still seemed to be weak, Qin Nannan's heart could be described as mixed feelings. I looked forward to it day and night, and finally looked forward to the day when he turned eighteen. Thinking about it every day and night, I finally saw my son standing in front of me. Even though he is not as healthy and strong as the children in other houses when he was eighteen years old, but this is his own son, with beautiful eyebrows and eyes, and a vaguely extraordinary bearing, how can Qin Nannan not be excited?
It's just that the child and himself seem to be extremely separated, how can there be any heart-to-heart between mother and son.
Qin Nannan was very sad, but he also knew that it would obviously take some time for Xu Bansheng to accept them, after all, he was an eighteen-year-old boy, how could he say that he would accept a pair of parents?
The mother and son looked at each other silently, Qin Nannan hurriedly smiled, pulled Xu Bansheng and let him sit on the stool, while he stood behind him, picked up the big bath towel in his hand, put it on his head, and helped him dry his still wet hair.
From the mirror, Qin Nannan has been observing Xu Bansheng who bowed his head and let himself fiddle, this child, with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, looks like Xu Ruxuan when he was young, although he is much thinner than Xu Ruxuan back then, but the clear breath on his body is exactly the same. When he first returned home, although he was a little cramped, he could see that the old Taoist priest had educated him very well, and between his gestures, Xu Bansheng had a detached bearing, as if he had never left the Xu family, but had always been the pride of the sky.
Of course, Qin Nannan would not know that her Xu family was just one of the wealthy families in the land of China, although it could be called a rich and half-city, but compared to the status of the Taiyi faction in the Taoist sect, it would never be the same. Although the Taiyi faction is now down, its inheritance in the Taoist sect is still the pearl on the crown of the crown. If you compare the wealth of the world, the Taiyi faction is the home of the rich and rival the country, the difference is that the wealth of the world is gold and silver, and the wealth of the Taiyi faction is its attainments in Taoism and mathematics. Looking at the Taoist sects in the whole republic, if Xu Bansheng's master said that he was the second person in the number of arts, no one would dare to call himself the first. And Xu Bansheng, as the only descendant of the Taiyi faction, is also the thirty-seventh generation of the Taiyi faction, and in terms of identity, he is definitely the real pride of the sky, far more dazzling than his current identity as a rich second generation.
His hair was half dry, and Qin Nannan brought a hair dryer again, helping Xu Bansheng sort out his soft short hair.
In fact, Xu Bansheng didn't need to use a hair dryer at all, he could dry his hair in an instant with a little internal force. He also understood that this was just a way for Qin Nannan to get close to him, so that Qin Nannan could figure it around on his head.
"Half a life, you have been on the road for a day today, do you want to rest for a while?" Qin Nannan asked as much as possible in a motherly manner after putting down the hair dryer.
Xu Bansheng stood up and smiled slightly at his mother: "No, I just came back, I think there will be a lot of contacts, and I have to learn to deal with people." ”
Qin Nannan nodded, grateful to the Taoist who so far she and Xu Bansheng's father didn't know who his surname was, not only did he really let Xu Ban live, but also taught him a few weeks of etiquette that was unexpectedly humble, which was really a blessing for the Xu family.
"Then let's go down, your father has a lot to say to you. The three of us will talk for a while, and then we will go to entertain them later. ”
Xu Bansheng nodded and said, "Okay." ”
Qin Nannan kept holding Xu Bansheng's hand when he went downstairs, he was really worried about this son too much, he hadn't seen him for eighteen years, and now he was still a little unbelievable. I was afraid that as soon as I let go, my son would disappear.
"Lao Xu, you snuff out the cigarette, my son came to this city with dirty air from that beautiful place, I don't fit it, you still light a cigarette and ......smoke it like this" Before he walked down the stairs, Qin Nannan loudly scolded Xu Ruxuan who was smoking downstairs, Xu Ruxuan immediately snuffed out the cigarette butt in his hand in the ashtray when he heard this, and then hurriedly fanned the wind, asked his subordinates to take the ashtray away, and ordered him to open the window for ventilation, as if he was really afraid of smoking his precious son.
Xu Bansheng smiled and said, "Master also smokes a lot, I've long been used to it, and occasionally I smoke two tubes, so you don't have to worry too much." ”
Qin Nannan was inexplicably grateful to the old Taoist priest just now, but now she couldn't help but feel a little resentful, she felt very distressed when she looked at her son's thin body, the old Taoist priest still smoked him all day long, and he didn't care about his son smoking, what kind of master is this.
But when Xu Bansheng sat on the sofa, Qin Nannan took tea and snacks, Xu Bansheng just smiled and nodded, but when he didn't use it, Qin Nannan didn't know how to get along with his son, she really didn't have the experience of sitting side by side with her son, and in a hurry, she couldn't help but pick up Xu Ruxuan's cigarette on the table, took out one and pointed it at Xu Bansheng, and said, "Then why don't you smoke a cigarette." ”
Xu Ruxuan's nose snorted, Xu Bansheng couldn't help laughing, it seemed that the couple was even more flustered than himself.
Pressed Qin Nannan's hand, took the cigarette case in her hand, stuffed the cigarette back in, put it on the coffee table, Xu Bansheng said: "You must have a lot to ask me, I'm not hungry or thirsty, you ask." ”
Qin Nannan realized that he was really a little messy, but he threw his anger on Xu Ruxuan, who picked up the cigarette case easily: "Smoking, can't you rest for a while?"
Xu Ruxuan's face was stunned, he put down the cigarette case, thought about it, picked up the tea and took a sip, turned his head to look at the person who wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, and said, "Lao Zhang, go down first, I'll call you if you have something." ”
Lao Zhang is actually not as old as Xu Ruxuan, and hurriedly retreated when he heard the words, Xu Ruxuan coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, looked at Xu Bansheng, whose eyebrows and corners of his eyes were quite similar to those of his youth, and saw his thin body, and couldn't help but sigh slightly.
"You old Xu, what are you sighing when your son is back!" Qin Nannan was particularly aggressive today, especially towards Xu Ruxuan.
Xu Ruxuan raised his head and said: "Half a life, I have suffered you all these years, and your mother and I ......" The end of his nose was slightly sour, and he choked up, and he couldn't go on.
"It's not bitter in the mountains, and it's not as closed as you think. In addition to meditating and practicing every day, I also have two hours to see the world online. All of this that I have come into contact with now, although I have never touched it with my own hands, is also familiar. Although my life is lonely, it is not bitter. The body is thin because of fate, not because of suffering in the mountains. ”
In just a few sentences, it can be regarded as a general explanation of the experience of the past eighteen years, seeing that there is a difference between what they think and what they think, Xu Ruxuan and Qin Nannan also know that they probably misunderstood Xu Bansheng's life in the mountains.
"Your master is ...... now" Xu Ruxuan remembered that eighteen years ago, a sloppy old man walked into his door, obviously heavily guarded, and he didn't know how he floated in. Then Lao Dao counted his situation like a few family treasures, and took some means to make the Xu family believe that he was a living immortal, and then said that if Xu Bansheng stayed in the Xu family, he was afraid that he would not live for more than two months. It has been eighteen years since this moment, and the old Taoist also let Xu Bansheng return to the Xu family when he was eighteen years old according to his promise, but I don't know what the unknown Taoist looks like now.
"Master is in good health, and he went down the mountain not long ago. He is too unserious for the old man, so you don't have to worry too much about him. He will always live a very chic life, and there is probably no one who can embarrass him in this world. ”
seemed to remember what that old Taoist did eighteen years ago, and Xu Ruxuan and Qin Nannan couldn't help but show a little smile on their faces.
Xu Bansheng's master is really a master in the game world, and his behavior and words are completely incomprehensible, and every amazing act is made. The Xu family has only been with him for three days, but he has already understood the pain of teaching. Now that I heard Xu Bansheng say the same thing about his master, the husband and wife naturally resigned.
"The Taoist is safe, and we can rest assured. Bansheng, you just said that you meditate and practice every day on the mountain, did your master also teach you those immortal methods?" Qin Nannan's resentment towards the old Taoist priest has long disappeared at this moment, and she has also seen the old Taoist's methods at the beginning, so she can't help but have some hopes for Xu Bansheng.
