Chapter 143: Father is easier to talk to than daughter
Xie Yuci had already returned to the house and went to the kitchen to find his mother.
Xie Lian was watching the fire. When she saw Xie Yuci appear, a loving smile appeared on her face, but tears were shining in her eyes.
"Mom!" Xie Yuci went forward and hugged Xie Lian. Although they had not been apart for a long time, it felt like a very long time had passed. There were some feelings that only they, as a family, could understand.
"Hey, you're back. Mom is dirty, please let go..." Xie Lian said with a smile. Although she said that, she still raised her hand and gently touched her hair, tenderly and affectionately.
Xie Yuci didn't let go immediately. He buried his head in her shoulder, smelling the faint and familiar scent of her clothes, feeling extremely at ease.
For so many years, Xie Lian has always had this smell on her body. In her world, it is the smell that belongs only to her mother.
Zhuang Yizhou and Bai Shan Gu were invited into the main hall by Xie Qing.
Xie Qing's house looks plain and simple on the outside, but it is very impressive on the inside. It is extremely spacious and spotlessly clean. The tables, chairs and benches are unique, and every brick and tile is distinctive. It has the pastoral style of paradise that has been very popular on the Internet in recent years. It is retro, comfortable and full of life.
Xie Qing took out the Mingqian Longjing tea that Xie Yuci brought back last time, boiled some spring water, and invited them to sit down.
Bai Shan Gu and Zhuang Yizhou had done background checks on Xie Yuci, but had never done background checks on Xie Qing and his wife. They only knew that the two had been farming in the countryside of Hancheng for many years and were true country people. Judging from their demeanor, they were probably not as simple as they seemed.
The two were glad that they did not look down on Xie Qing because he was a country boy at the beginning.
Xie Qing is a talkative and pragmatic person, and Bai Shan Gu and Zhuang Yizhou had a relatively pleasant chat with him.
As it turns out, my father is much easier to talk to than my daughter.
(?w?)
Bai Shan Gu and Zhuang Yizhou knew that it was already rude of them not to inform the host in advance since it was their first visit, so after a few cups of tea, they quickly said goodbye.
Before leaving, the two added each other's contact information with Xie Qing and made an appointment to come here to fish if they had the chance (Xie Qing mentioned that they had a fish pond here).
Seeing that they were about to leave, Liao Fang and Xie Qing warmly saw them off.
Bai Shan Gu and Zhuang Yizhou got into the car, waved to them to go back to the house, and the car started. Looking at the people walking away behind the car, they withdrew their gaze and sighed in tacit understanding.
"What a good person, what a good family! This Jun family is really hateful!" Bai Shan Gu slapped his thigh and cursed.
The outside world scolded the Jun family because of Xie Yuci’s experience in drug testing when they were young.
However, they knew that the Jun family had always known about the existence of Xie Yuci's biological parents, and knew that Xie Yuci longed to go home, but had never thought of letting her leave.
If Xie Yuci had not known the current situation and been obedient and followed their arrangements, making them think that Xie Yuci had long forgotten his biological parents who came from a poor family and thus relaxed his vigilance, no matter how smart Xie Yuci was, no matter how painstakingly he planned and took every step carefully, he would not have been able to return home so smoothly.
"Let's not interfere in this matter. Xiao Xie can handle it himself." Zhuang Yizhou reminded him, worried that he would be too angry to stand up for Xie Yuci.
Everyone has his or her own cause and effect. It is a taboo to abuse power and forcibly interfere with the cause and effect of others.
What's more, in this situation, there is no need for them to take action, and the Jun family will not be better off.
"Hmph, I won't pay any attention to them, a bunch of villains." Bai Shan Gu crossed his arms, then thought of something and turned to look at Zhuang Yizhou. "Old Zhuang, how do you plan to write this report?"
"Go back and think about it." Zhuang Yizhou said perfunctorily.
He knew what Bai Shan Gu wanted to ask, which was nothing more than the letter of recommendation.
"Tsk, you know that's not what I meant. Are you really not going to give her the recommendation spot? There are so many people in Shangjing District trying their best to get in. This is also her chance." Bai Shan Gu was direct.
"No, she's homesick, as you can see. We can't do this until she agrees." Zhuang Yizhou shook his head.
They mentioned this matter to Xie Yuci more than once, but her attitude was very indifferent and her reason for refusal was very simple: her parents were in Seoul and she had no plans to work somewhere else for the time being.
"But... you know how popular she is now. People in Shangjing must know about it. If we don't give her the recommendation quota, they will definitely not be happy with us hiding her and not recommending her..." Bai Shan Gu frowned.
"What they think is their business. If they want to snatch the person away, and they can snatch him away, it is their ability. We will not be the bad guys. Xiao Xie is a grateful person. If we remember him when we have problems, he will remember us too. That's enough."
Zhuang Yizhou shook his head lightly, his mind firm.
Bai Shan Gu paused when he heard the last sentence, then agreed, "You're right. Just remember it once."
The golden unicorn is not a creature that lives in a pond. One time is enough. It is enough.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to continue the topic.
……
After Bai Shan Gu and Zhuang Yizhou left, Xie Lian brought up the food and Liao Fang stayed at home to eat.
Xie Lian and Xie Qing picked up some food for them and asked them to eat more.
Liao Fang was indeed hungry, and soon he finished several bowls of white rice.
"Auntie, why is your braised pork so delicious? Woohoo...it's so delicious that it makes me cry!!"
"Auntie, uncle, you don't know how bad the food is in the restaurants over there. We would rather eat bread and instant noodles than go out to eat. It's worse than pig food..."
"Auntie, it's so delicious, woo woo, so happy..."
Seeing him exaggerate like this, Xie Lian and Xie Qing couldn't help but laugh: "Okay, if it tastes good, then eat more. Let's eat slowly, there's more in the pot."
"Mm-hmm, thank you, Auntie." Liao Fang nodded as he ate. He took the time to pick up the serving chopsticks and picked up the braised pork ribs for Xie Yuci. "Sister, eat this. It's much better than instant noodles. It's a hundred times, a thousand times, ten thousand times better than that restaurant."
"Yeah." Xie Yuci nodded in agreement and ate quite fast. When he went out, he would miss home when he ate, lived and slept.
Xie Qing and Xie Lian were amused by their reactions and served them new bowls of soup.
After dinner, Liao Fang rode Xie Yuci’s electric bike back.
Xie Yuci helped to clean up the dishes, and the family of three cleaned the house inside and out. Xie Qing took out the tea set and made a pot of tea. The three of them gathered around the stove to brew tea and enjoy the leisurely afternoon time.
Xie Yuci leaned back in his chair and drank a few cups of tea. He felt refreshed, as if he had been reborn.
"Oh, I remember now. When I went to the village this morning, the uncle said there was a package for you, so I brought it back." Xie Lian put down the teacup in her hand, stood up from the chair, went to the kitchen and took out two packaging boxes.
Xie Yuci knew that the medicine and growth liquid he bought on the app had arrived, so he hurriedly took them from Xie Lian and opened the express box in front of them.
The information on the two express boxes was the same. She guessed that the lighter box was medicine and opened it first.
