Chapter 362: It's exaggerated
Xu Qingsong returned to the next room. Du Yunkai and Richard had already taken the things in the trunk and put them back in the living room. Liu Wangxue's suitcase and backpack were still left next to the car.
Du Yunkai was sitting on the sofa replying to messages, while Richard was standing beside the table looking at the goldfish.
Xu Qingsong said to them: "Let's go and have dinner."
Richard asked, "Where are we going to eat?"
Du Yunkai immediately put away his phone and stood up: "Let's go, let's go. I can smell the food a long time ago. Uncle Nanshan must have cooked something delicious today."
Richard asked again: "Who is Uncle Nanshan?"
Du Yunkai walked towards the door and pointed at Xu Qingsong: "Of course, we're going to the next door, to his girlfriend's house."
"Oh," Richard asked Xu Qingsong, "So Uncle Nanshan is Xue's father?"
Xu Qingsong couldn't help laughing when he heard the word "girlfriend". He nodded and said, "Yes, let's go over there quickly."
As he spoke, he reached out to hold the door and pretended to close it.
Richard followed Du Yunkai out: "Am I going too? Isn't it inappropriate for me to go like this? This is my first time here, and I'm not familiar with them. More importantly, I'm empty-handed. I haven't prepared any gifts."
He thought he should at least bring a bottle of wine or a bouquet of flowers, but he had nothing now. And Du Yunkai didn't tell him in advance that there would be this dinner.
Richard was a little embarrassed.
Xu Qingsong closed the living room door and came over to pull Liu Wangxue's suitcase. "It's okay, no need. They are all very generous and enthusiastic people. They don't care about this."
"Should we close the gate?" Du Yunkai asked him.
"Cover it up." Xu Qingsong replied.
Du Yunkai closed the door. He thought Richard would be embarrassed given his personality, so he jokingly said to him, "It's okay, eat first. If you're satisfied after eating, you can give me the gift later."
Richard was surprised to hear this: "Kai, how did you survive to this day with the way you live?"
Xu Qingsong and Du Yunkai laughed together.
Xu Qingsong said to Richard, "Don't worry, just don't be scared by the enthusiasm of the uncle and aunt for a while."
Du Yunkai raised his arm and linked arms with Richard: "Let's go and integrate into the life here, starting with this dinner today!"
It was only a few steps to the gate of the next courtyard. Liu Wangxue stood under the lamp holding the cat. "My mother asked me to come out to see why you guys haven't come yet. It's cold now. The food will get cold soon after it's served."
"Here it comes," Du Yunkai pushed Richard in front of Liu Wangxue, "It's this guy, he's embarrassed."
Liu Wangxue turned aside to let them in, and looked at Richard with a smile: "Just treat it as your own home. We are very casual here. Do whatever makes you feel comfortable."
Before Richard could express his gratitude to her, Du Yunkai pulled him to the kitchen: "Uncle, Auntie, we are here."
Then the sound of greetings was heard from inside.
Xu Qingsong raised his hand and touched Liu Wangxue's face. Xiaoci thought he was reaching out to hug her, so she raised her paw and patted him.
Xu Qingsong's hand immediately turned and pinched Xiaoci's face: "Little thing, what are you doing? Are you planning to rebel again?"
Xiaoci pressed his hand with her two paws and pushed hard: "Meow~" Take it away!
Gua Gua landed on Xu Qingsong's shoulder and jumped up and down, saying to Xiao Ci: "Rebellion! Rebellion!"
Pengpeng paced between their legs, rubbing this and that.
Liu Wangxue looked at Gua Gua and said, "Was it like this when you came back last time? I feel like it has changed a lot. Its learning ability has improved. It can repeat some words after listening to them once."
Xu Qingsong pulled the suitcase towards the living room. He wanted to smile again when he thought of this: "This is all thanks to your dad. Uncle Nanshan talks to it every day. He calls it at every turn and tells it everything. If it learns or answers logically, he will give it a reward."
"No wonder." Liu Wangxue reached out and poked Guagua, who was still on his shoulder, "My dear, now that we have become spirits, we must learn to speak human language. I look forward to communicating with you unimpeded one day."
"Where should the suitcase be placed?" Xu Qingsong asked.
Liu Wangxue pointed to the corner and said, "Put it here first. I'll clean it up after dinner. Go wash your hands quickly."
Xu Qingsong pushed the box over, then came over, put his arm around her waist and kissed her: "Your call of 'baby' just now was really beautiful."
Liu Wangxue looked at him with a smile: "Why do I feel like your tone is full of regret?"
"Yes," Xu Qingsong nodded, "I thought he was calling me, but it turned out not to be. I felt so disappointed."
"Okay, I'll call you then." Liu Wangxue raised her hand and touched his face, "Sweetheart, my sweetheart - go wash your hands and eat, I'm hungry."
Xu Qingsong bent down and kissed her again before going to the bathroom.
Liu Wangxue took the three to the kitchen.
Liu Nanshan really put in a lot of effort. He cooked almost a table full of dishes for the dinner of six people, and took care of all the frying, stir-frying, and deep-frying. This afternoon, Gu Xuelan did nothing but help him.
When Du Yunkai brought Richard in, he was frying the last pot of vegetable meatballs. After Du Yunkai introduced them and exchanged pleasantries, he picked up a small plate and asked them to wash their hands and eat first. Gu Xuelan also poured them drinks.
Liu Nanshan was a talkative person. Even the language barrier did not hinder his expression and communication. What's more, Du Yunkai was there to translate. The sound of talking in the kitchen had not stopped since they came in.
Gu Xuelan set the table and put the dishes and chopsticks on the table. Richard didn't know how to use chopsticks, so she put a spoon and fork on the table for him. After setting the dishes and chopsticks, she served rice and soup to everyone, listening to their conversation and occasionally saying something.
When Liu Wangxue came in with the cat, the last portion of meatballs came out of the pot. Liu Nanshan brought over a small bowl and put it on the table. He asked everyone to sit down and even asked Richard to sit next to him.
"Where is Qingsong?" he asked Liu Wangxue.
"Bathroom." Liu Wangxue said, putting the cat on her lap, reaching out and pinching one, taking a bite, "Ah, this is the taste, delicious!"
If you want to eat vegetable meatballs, you can buy them outside, but you can never buy the ones that taste like the ones made by Liu Nanshan. They are extremely fresh and fragrant, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Liu Wangxue misses them so much.
Seeing her eating happily, Liu Nanshan felt extremely happy.
At this time Xu Qingsong came in: "Wow, it's so rich! Uncle, did you use all your skills over the years?"
"Of course not," Gu Xuelan said before Liu Nanshan could answer, "Originally it was nothing, but when he heard that you were going to bring a foreign friend back, he made a fuss, saying that we must not bring shame to Chinese cuisine."
Xu Qingsong pulled out the chair next to Liu Wangxue and sat down: "If you ask me, uncle, you don't have to go to such great lengths. Just cooking a bowl of noodles can make the cuisine of Country M bow down to you, and it will definitely confuse this foreign friend."
Liu Nanshan clapped his legs and laughed: "It's exaggerated, but I like to listen to it."
Liu Wangxue opened her legs to the side and touched Xu Qingsong's. She looked at him with a smile that showed some understanding. Ha, so this is how he dealt with his parents? He praised everything with all his might. Who wouldn't be confused?
