Chapter 1182 The child has grown up...
He Xu booked a private restaurant that he and Su Xing often went to.
This private restaurant has a quiet and peaceful environment, and it only serves a limited number of tables each day, so it doesn't have many customers.
The food is good and the place is quiet, making it a great place for a family to dine and chat.
to the place.
Su Xing found a place to park, and the four of them got out of the car.
As Grandpa Su looked around the quaint restaurant, his first impression was that it didn't seem like a restaurant at all, but rather like a private residence hidden deep in the city.
He knew that these private kitchen dishes were not cheap.
The young man from the He family treated the elderly couple quite well.
He Xu carefully observed the expressions of the elderly couple from the Su family, afraid that they might overthink things.
Seeing that the two elderly people didn't show any particular expression, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
The dinner went quite well; the atmosphere in the private room was pleasant, and the four of them chatted about their recent lives while eating.
He Xu would occasionally use serving chopsticks to serve food to the elderly couple, or help his girlfriend peel shrimp shells and remove fish bones, taking good care of the three members of the Su family.
"Grandpa and Grandma, please try this dish. It's the signature dish here."
"well."
"Xiao He, you can eat yours. You don't need to keep putting food on our plates."
The elderly couple in the Su family were also observing how the young couple were getting along.
They saw that the two were getting along well and naturally, especially He Xu taking care of Xiao Xing, which was obviously a habit. As soon as she raised her hand, he handed her the water glass.
The tacit understanding between the two was clearly not something that developed overnight.
They felt somewhat relieved.
None of the four drank alcohol, and they finished their dinner in less than an hour.
Su Xing asked the elderly couple, "Grandpa, Grandma, are you tired now?"
Grandpa Su said, "I'm not tired. I didn't walk many steps today."
The old lady also said, "Today we actually took a car and a plane, and just strolled around your school for a while. That's not even as much exercise as your grandpa does every day chasing chickens and ducks."
Upon hearing this, Su Xing and He Xu couldn't help but laugh.
Grandpa Su glared at his wife and said with dissatisfaction, "It's just a rooster, why are you making such a fuss?"
The old lady rolled her eyes at the old man.
Su Xing said, "Since you're not tired, shall we go for a walk? This place is quite close to the shopping street, I'll go buy you a couple of outfits."
Grandma Su waved her hand and said, "Oh, no need, no need. We brought clothes, that should be enough."
Although she was worried about not having enough clothes to wear before they came, and her eldest granddaughter said she would buy them some when they got to Beijing, now that her granddaughter is actually taking them shopping, she doesn't want to spend the children's money anymore.
She did bring money, but she was afraid she wouldn't be able to compete with the children for payment.
Su Xing said in a coquettish tone, "Oh! Grandma, I said I'd take you shopping for clothes before you came, and you agreed, didn't you? Why did you change your mind? That's not fair! Come on, come on! I've made a lot of money these past two years, you don't need to save me money!"
Grandma Su was at her wits' end with her granddaughter, "You little rascal, where did you learn this from..."
He Xu also advised, "I checked the recent weather forecast, and it will get colder starting tomorrow. Grandpa and Grandma, you should buy some warmer clothes and shoes."
Grandpa Su waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, let's go for a stroll!"
Grandma Su compromised and said, "Alright, let's go."
Su Xing looked at He Xu, her eyes filled with smiles.
He Xu winked at his girlfriend and smiled slightly.
Grandpa Su noticed the young couple's interaction and subtly pursed his lips.
The four left the hotel and headed to a commercial street a few kilometers away.
Su Xing and He Xu were worried about tiring the two elderly people, so they didn't plan to take them shopping for too long and headed straight to one of the high-end shopping malls.
They took the two elderly people and bought them new down jackets, inner wool sweaters, shoes, scarves, and hats.
I bought several sets of innerwear so they could change into them.
He Xu secretly paid part of the bill, and when Su Xing discovered it, he glared at him.
He was afraid his girlfriend would let something slip, so he didn't dare to make any more decisions on his own and stopped arguing with her about the other bills.
The elderly couple from the Su family saw that they had bought too many things and refused to shop any more.
"That's enough! We're only staying in the capital for a few days. We can't possibly wear all these clothes!"
"Exactly, these clothes are too thick; we won't be able to wear them when we get back."
Su Xing said, "Alright, let's go back."
The four of them left the mall carrying shopping bags of various sizes.
After returning to the Shaoyuan Hotel at Peking University, the elderly Su couple urged He Xu to go back home.
Grandpa Su said, "Xiao He, it's getting late, you should go home and rest early."
"Yes, see you tomorrow." Grandma Su pushed the box of local specialties to He Xu. "Xiao He, take these things back with you."
Su Xing smiled and said to He Xu, "You go back first. I'll stay with my grandparents for a while before going back to my dorm."
He Xu understood that the three members of the Su family had something to say, but they didn't want to say it in front of him.
He was very tactful and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first. Grandpa and Grandma, you should get some rest tonight. Tomorrow we'll take you out to explore the capital."
"well."
"Go back quickly."
He Xu picked up the box full of local specialties and tea and left the Shaoyuan Hotel.
Su Xing closed the door, sat down in a chair, looked at his grandparents, and waited for their questions.
Grandma Su hesitated for a moment, then asked, "How are things going between you and Xiao He?"
Su Xing said seriously, "It's great. We've been together for two or three years, and our relationship has been quite stable. We've basically never argued."
She was the only one who took her anger out on him, and threw a small tantrum, which was quickly soothed by He Xu within minutes.
The elderly couple from the Su family exchanged a glance.
In fact, they had all witnessed the tacit understanding between the young couple throughout the afternoon.
The old lady felt her previous question was too vague, so she asked again, "What about his family? Do you see them often? How are they to you?"
Su Xing said, "His parents are both too busy, so we don't have many opportunities to meet. We've met a few times before, and they've been quite nice to me. Occasionally, He Xu and I go back to his grandparents' house for dinner, so I'm more familiar with the He family. They like me a lot, and I also get along well with some of He Xu's peers."
She paused for a moment, then said, "Grandpa, Grandma, I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, the He family hasn't mistreated me. They are all open-minded, reasonable, and well-mannered people. Besides, I'm not someone who's easily bullied."
The elderly Su couple stared at their eldest granddaughter, somewhat dazed.
Once upon a time, their eldest granddaughter was a sweet and quiet little girl. Back then, she was too quiet and introverted, and they were always worried that she would be bullied in the future.
Now, her eldest granddaughter has grown into a graceful young woman with a generous and poised personality. She speaks and acts with reason and evidence, and is sharp and never suffers a loss.
This child has really grown up...
After thinking for a moment, Grandpa Su said, "The car that Xiao He gave you is a bit too expensive... His family background is special, and there must be quite a few people watching his family. You should be more low-key."
Su Xing explained, "He Xu's maternal grandparents' family runs a fairly large business. They gave He Xu's mother a lot of shares as a dowry. Later, He Xu's mother transferred all the shares under her name to He Xu, so he is quite well-off financially. He himself is very low-key in his life and never flaunts his wealth. As for that car... he feels that I have opened a studio and am a boss now, so I need a nice car to show off. Grandpa and Grandma, I will not feel inferior in front of him because of this car. His birthday gift is quite expensive, but I treat him well too. We give to each other and have an equal relationship. You really don't need to worry too much about me."
