Chapter 409 Suzhou (please collect, recommend, and vote monthly)
“However, I still like my current job very much. Helping others makes me feel very fulfilled.” Wu Wei put her right hand on her belly, where there was once a life.
Xu Chuan held her in his arms and interrupted Wu Wei's thoughts, "Are you and your brother celebrating the New Year in Shencheng?"
Wu Wei raised her head. The man in front of her was really not very good at comforting others. If he didn't poke you a few words, it would be considered a sign of conscience.
"Of course, but after the New Year, the association still has a lot of work to do." After saying that, he seemed to think of something, and sat up from his arms and took the phone, "Although I really want to pretend that I didn't see it, but after all, this photo What's the meaning."
On his phone was a photo of him and Xuela after the award presentation that day. Xu Chuan smiled and said, "This is their etiquette. I am also very helpless."
“You fart.” Wu Wei pushed the nonsense guy down on the sofa.
Xu Chuan laughed very happily, how could he suffer such a thing? After a while, the two of them changed positions, and the girl lay there and looked at him with charming eyes.
After some time, Wu Wei buried her face in Xu Chuan's neck and said, "You'll be leaving in two days, right?" her voice was filled with reluctance.
Xu Chuan stroked her hair and nodded, "When Xu Ziwen and the others come back, I will go back to the capital. Our old man's birthday is coming soon. I will visit my grandpa's house in the next two days to say New Year's greetings."
“Oh.”, the girl’s mood was not high.
Xu Chuan thought for a while, "Why don't you go with me? My grandma will definitely be very happy. She likes beautiful people." Hey, this seems to be very similar to himself.
“Really, can you?”, this was something she didn’t expect.
"What's wrong with this?", take a girl back, and a bunch of people in the province ask themselves all the time whether they have found a girlfriend, when they will get married, and when they will have children.
After that, there are blind dates in various situations, which are euphemistically called making friends first. Damn, I’m just twenty-two, okay?
When Wu Jiang received another call from his sister, she was already with Xu Chuan at the edge of Taihu Lake, more than 100 kilometers away. "Ah, brother, we are already at the place, hang up first."
“Tsk, tsk, poor brother.”
"It's not because of you." Yesterday, I worked too late and got up too early in the morning. Of course I had to pack myself properly for such an important matter. I got up before five o'clock to put on makeup and pick out clothes.
So much so that after getting in the car, under the warm air conditioner, I fell asleep directly, and slept all the way.
She looked at her makeup first, and luckily it wasn't stained. "By the way, are we just going to go empty-handed?" Only then did she remember that she had forgotten such an important thing.
Xu Chuan looked at her nervous little face and felt a little funny, "You are thinking too much. My grandpa has too many people in his family. If he really wants to buy everything, he will have to use a truck to pull it."
That's what he said, but Xu Chuan has already prepared it. He picked out a few antiques that he brought back from France last time.
Two ancient paintings and an ancient music score, he took out a wooden box made of rosewood from the trunk and handed it to Wu Wei, while he carried two long brocade boxes.
Even though it has been closed in recent years, the people who want to come home should not have returned from various places, which also saves a lot of trouble.
“This is your grandpa’s house?” Next to the edge of Taihu Lake, the white courtyard wall extends for an unknown distance.
"Hey, I also want to keep a low profile, but reality doesn't allow it." This is the old residence of the Deng family, covering an area of about fifty acres. It was built during the Guangxu period and is one-third smaller than the famous Humble Administrator's Garden.
The so-called Suzhou gardens are the best in the world. This is no bragging. When Xu Chuan was a child, he would come here to stay for a period of time every year.
“Xiaochuan.” Someone called him, and he turned around to see Deng Mei standing at the entrance of the courtyard, looking at the two of them with a smile on her face.
“Oh, you’re back. I thought you were still in Shen City.”
Xu Chuan walked forward with Wu Wei, "This is Wu Wei, this is my aunt."
“Hello.”, the girl’s face turned slightly red and she greeted softly.
This was the first time Deng Mei saw Wu Wei. She looked at her curiously and saw that the girl seemed very nervous. She quickly took her hand and said with a smile, "Wu Wei, you are so beautiful. You are such a boy." The first girl I brought back."
Xu Chuan rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, hurry in and don't open the door to welcome me. You are the only one coming out. As expected, I have the least status here."
This is the west corner gate of the garden. The entry and exit from here is not particularly conspicuous.
"Ha, you still dare to say that you only come here a few times a year. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Your grandpa is very angry."
“I believe you are a ghost.” Xu Chuan led Wu Wei into the corner door, which was connected to a corridor. In front of it was a pond full of lotus, which was connected to the Taihu Lake outside the wall by a waterway.
"I used to play hide-and-seek here when I was a kid, always burrowing into the rockery. It seems like one time I hid in it and fell asleep, but those unloyal little brats forgot about me. When I woke up, it was already dark. "
Looking at the nervous Wu Wei, Xu Chuan could only tell her some embarrassing things from his childhood to make her relax.
“You were crying so hard at that time.” Deng Mei recalled the scene at that time and smiled very happily.
"Really?" Wu Wei looked at him, unable to imagine the man in front of her crying, and her laughter also relaxed her spirit.
As you cross the bridge, you can see blue bricks and black tiles, with flying eaves and painted buildings. Passing through two courtyards to the east is the main courtyard, where two old men with gray hair and childlike faces are waiting here.
Deng Zhilin is over seventy years old and has been engaged in education all his life. He can be said to have a lot of talents all over the world. The old lady's name is Meng Yuelian, a Kunqu opera master. How old is she? It's as big as the one that was performed in the Ertang Hall.
They have two sons and two daughters. Xu Chuan's deceased mother Deng Lan is the third eldest and Deng Mei is the youngest.
“Hey, your yard is too big. I think I will still get lost even now.” Xu Chuan pretended to complain, but was slapped by the serious-looking old man Deng.
"Grandma, look, he hit me again." The old lady pushed her wife aside, took Xu Chuan's hand and looked left and right, her eyes slightly red.
Knowing that she was thinking of Deng Lan again, this was the reason why he didn't always come back. It was too easy for him to remind the old lady of the saddest thing in her life.
Hold the old lady’s shoulders and said, “Grandma, I’m hungry, please give me something to eat.”
“I’ve already made preparations for you when I knew you were coming.” The old lady spoke softly, and Xu Chuan sounded very cordial, “I’m patronizing you, who is this beautiful little girl?”
Wu Wei looked flustered and didn't know what to call her, and then she choked out two words, "Hello."
“Just follow him and call me grandma.” As Xu Chuan said, the old lady likes good-looking people, and she had a crush on Wu Wei at first sight.
Looking at Xu Chuan's attitude, Wu Wei called her grandma in a low voice.
