Chapter 338 I Want to Hear My Parents’ Opinions
Tunan and Xiaoting were in Dongzhe's room listening to him talk about Fujian.
Xiaoting glanced at him.
Although he arrived home early this morning, he had already taken a shower and changed his clothes, wearing a new jacket that he hadn't been willing to wear before the New Year.
Dongzhe looked at Xiaoting as he spoke, and called Tunan:
"Brother, do the two sons of Captain Xu get along well?"
He had inquired before and knew that Captain Xu's eldest son was married and had two sons who were about the same age as him.
"He's a nice person and didn't bully Xiaoting." Tuanan knew what he was asking.
"That I know. If they dare to bully Xiaoting, Uncle Zhou will beat them up." Dongzhe was relieved.
Everyone talked about their experiences in Fujian.
"Brother, there are many old villages and old houses there. You will definitely like them. They are called Red..."
"Hongcuo." He tried to say it for a long time but couldn't find the right word, so Tuanan took over.
"Yes, yes, there's a tower too, but it's different from the Suzhou Tower. I brought you a postcard."
Dongzhe took out a package from his luggage and threw it on Xiaoting's legs, then took out a postcard and handed it to Tuanan.
Fortunately, Xiaoting has always been calm, otherwise she would have been scared by him.
Upon closer inspection, it was a box of peanut crisps and a can of sweet kumquats.
Xiaoting has loved eating these sweets since she was a child. When she was a child, Huang Ling was very strict with her for fear that her teeth would get damaged. Anyone who gave her sweets would be scolded. As a result, everyone was secretive when feeding Xiaoting sweets.
Dongzhe and Tunan leaned over to look at the postcard, then turned back to look at Xiaoting, winking at her to signal her to eat it quietly.
Xiaoting was very interested in the can of kumquats, so she opened it, picked up one and took a bite.
The kumquat has a layer of icing on the outside and is soft, sticky, sour and sweet on the inside, which is her favorite taste.
That strange feeling came over me again.
Why does Dongzhe's behavior make her feel weird?
He has always treated her like this since she was little!
How come I didn't find it strange before?
Xiaoting gently bit the kumquat while looking at Dongzhe's profile and listening to him and Tunan chatting in low voices.
People in the other room were also chatting quietly about work, the relocation and expansion of parts factories and home appliance factories, new technological trends, and so on.
In short, for everyone in this room, 1985 was a year full of opportunities.
After having dinner at Song Ying's house, Huang Ling and her family of four returned home with the gifts Song Ying brought back from Fujian.
Xiaoting went to rest. Tuanan, who usually went back to his room early to read, stayed in the living room today.
Who is Huang Ling? It’s obvious that Tuanan has something to say to her.
Of course Zhou Huaiyi also noticed it. He made a cup of milk for each of them, and then said he would go back to the room first.
Tunan stood up and called out, "Uncle Zhou, wait a minute, I have something to tell you and mom."
Zhou Huaiyi sat next to Huang Ling.
Tunan told them that he and Gu Xingyan loved each other and decided to date with the intention of getting married.
"This is a big deal. I want to hear my parents' opinions. Of course, I also want your permission and support. I know that the prerequisite is that it will not affect my studies. I am confident of this." After saying this, Tuanan lowered his head a little embarrassedly.
Zhou Huaiyi was stunned.
Huang Ling looked at Zhou Huaiyi, and Zhou Huaiyi looked back at her.
She held Zhou Huaiyi's hand under the quilt and squeezed it gently.
Zhou Huaiyi understood, so he cleared his throat and said, "I support it. Xingyan is a good girl. You two are a good match."
When saying this, Zhou Huaiyi was a little nervous. Although the words were simple, he spoke extremely solemnly.
Only Huang Ling knew how nervous Zhou Huaiyi was when he met Gu Xingyan during the summer vacation.
Zhou Huaiyi did everything a father should do, even exceeding what many fathers did for their children.
"Tunan, I like Xingyan very much, and I agree." Huang Ling continued.
After hearing what the two said, Tunan breathed a sigh of relief and returned to his room happily.
Zhou Huaiyi just looked at Huang Ling steadily.
Huang Ling smiled and said, "Don't think about it. I just asked for your opinion. He already knows my opinion. Your opinion is very important to him."
Zhou Huaiyi smiled.
......
Tunan and Gu Xingyan agreed on a time to visit.
Gu Xingyan was still waiting for him outside the school gate.
The two haven't seen each other for several days, it feels like a long time.
When they were not far from Gu Xingyan's house, Tunan stopped and asked, "Don't you have anything to tell me?"
"I don't have any experience either! What can I tell you?" Gu Xingyan frowned and said helplessly.
"But......"
"I know you're panicking, and I'm panicking too." Gu Xingyan said, covering her pounding heart.
Seeing her cute look, Tunan took a deep breath and said, "Don't panic, leave it to me!"
The two took the gifts from the car and went home.
The yard is very small, but there is a clump of bamboo on the left and a clump of flowers on the right.
Professor Gu and Professor Su were actually already waiting at the door.
Professor Gu is elegant and Professor Su is quiet.
"Professor Gu, Professor Su, Happy New Year."
"Student Zhuang, please come in."
When you enter the house, all you see are books.
Half of the main house is used as a living room and the other half is used as a study. There is a large table at one end of the study, and the three walls around the table are all covered with bookshelves.
"You don't want to praise my dad's table for being flat, do you?" Gu Xingyan joked when she saw Tuanan's eyes fall on the study.
"Ah...yes," Tunan said with a smile.
"Tunan studied architecture and drew pictures every day, so he liked big, flat tables," Gu Xingyan explained.
"Oh, me too. If it's not big enough, I always feel that the handwriting won't look elegant." Professor Gu agreed with a smile.
Speaking of writing, Tunan hurriedly picked up the gifts he brought.
He first handed a brocade box to Professor Su with both hands:
"Professor Su, this is a thin cashmere blanket. Xingyan said you often read until late at night, and your knees get cold. You can put this on your legs when you read in autumn and winter. It's light and you won't feel any weight."
"Oh, that's great, thank you, Tunan." Professor Su took it and looked at it carefully. Although he didn't unfold it completely, he placed the blanket neatly on his knees.
Then Tunan opened several other boxes.
"Professor Gu, I don't know if these are the right things to buy..."
Professor Gu looked at it, somewhat surprised, but nodded:
"Four Treasures of the Study, very good, thank you!"
Professor Su stood up and said, "Tunan, stay for lunch. I've already bought the food."
"Oh, thank you, Professor Su."
Professor Su then called Gu Xingyan to the kitchen to help, and left the two of them to talk.
Professor Gu stood up and carefully picked up the box containing the inkstone from the coffee table. Tuanan hurried to help, and the two of them placed the four treasures of the study on the table.
Professor Gu pointed to the rubbings spread out on the table and asked:
"Originally, the rubbings were intended to be given together with these four treasures of the study!"
"Yes, I mentioned it a little earlier due to special reasons," Tunan replied generously. "It's my fault that I didn't handle this matter properly. Please rest assured, it won't happen again in the future."
Professor Gu was very satisfied.
The two first played chess in the living room, and then quickly went to the kitchen to help.
The atmosphere gradually became relaxed.
Tunan found that he had topics to talk about with Xingyan, and he could also have a good chat with the two professors.
After dinner, the four chatted for a while before Tuanan stood up and said goodbye.
Xingyan went to see someone off, and the two professors began to study the future son-in-law.
