After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao, who was eating noodles, raised his head again.
As for meeting He Xiao's family, Tang Miao had mentioned it when he looked at He Xiao's household registration booklet on the day of registration. But Tang Miao was too busy and neither of them had much time, so they never took action.
If she thinks about it carefully, she and He Xiao have already obtained their marriage certificate. Now they are a couple and a family. It is indeed time for her to meet her family.
Tang Miao's parents are both dead, and he doesn't have any relatives here, but He Xiao is different. He Xiao still has a grandmother and his uncle's family.
There was a reason why He Xiao suddenly brought this up. Firstly, they had time, and secondly, it was about time for Tang Miao to meet his grandmother. Besides that, there was another thing.
"My sister is getting engaged in a few days, and my grandma asked me to go back." He Xiao said.
After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao's eyes moved, and she looked at him and asked, "Sister?"
"Yes, cousin." He Xiao said, "My uncle's daughter."
Last time, He Xiao only said that his uncle's family lived with his grandmother, but he didn't say how many children his uncle had. Now that he suddenly talked about his cousin, Tang Miao still found it strange. It felt like He Xiao's family was getting bigger and bigger.
He Xiao's father had immigrated and started a new family, and he obviously had little affection for his father's family. But other than that, he had a good relationship with his grandmother and they were in touch. She even said that her cousin was getting engaged, and her grandmother hoped that he could go back.
No matter what, the elders hope that the family will be happy.
After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao smiled and said, "They don't know about our marriage yet."
After they got the marriage certificate, they didn't hold a wedding or do anything else. One reason was because they were busy, and the other was that Tang Miao didn't really care about these things and thought they were troublesome. He Xiao always respected her opinions, and basically, the pace of their relationship was based on her initiative.
After they got married, their lives were pretty much the same as before, except they had keys to each other's houses and lived together at night, just like a normal couple.
This kind of life is simple and happy, and parents really need to know this.
After Tang Miao finished speaking, He Xiao took out a tissue and wiped the corner of her lips, saying, "You'll know when you go back this time."
The man put his fingers on the soft tissue and wiped the soup stains from her lips. Feeling his movements, Tang Miao smiled softly and nodded.
In this way, the two of them decided to go visit grandma.
In fact, He Xiao's family situation is a bit complicated. His mother is from Huaicheng, and his grandparents also have certain strength and family background in Huaicheng. At that time, He Xiao's father and mother were together, which basically meant that his father married into his mother's family, and He Xiao also took his mother's surname.
After they got married and gave birth to He Xiao, they basically lived in Huaicheng. Later, He Xiao's mother followed He Xiao's father back to his home and lived for a while. It was also during that time that He Xiao's grandparents took care of him.
However, later on, He Xiao's parents had more and more disagreements because of the family differences. Later, his father went abroad and never came back, and his mother took He Xiao home alone. Later, his mother died of illness, and his grandparents also died unexpectedly. He Xiao basically lived alone in Huaicheng.
As for He Xiao's father, He Xiao hasn't seen him since he went abroad.
Although she had never seen her father, her grandmother had not forgotten her grandson He Xiao. They were still in contact, but not often. Occasionally, He Xiao would visit his grandmother, and when the season came, his grandmother would send him some of the food that He Xiao liked to eat when he was a child.
He Xiao's grandmother and uncles lived in South City. This is what He Xiao told Tang Miao later when they talked about it again.
When she mentioned Nancheng again, Tang Miao felt a little dazed. She had lived in Nancheng for ten years, and only lived in Huaicheng for less than half a year. But when she mentioned Nancheng, Tang Miao felt that her time in Nancheng was like a dream.
Now that you have decided to go and see your family, you have to make the necessary preparations.
He Xiao hadn't been back for a while. The last time he went back was when there was a performance in Nancheng in the first half of the year. He went back after the performance. After that, he rarely went to Nancheng again.
The distance between Nancheng and Huaicheng is not too close, nor too far, and it takes about four hours to drive there. If you take the high-speed rail, it will be faster. But the two of them are going home to see their families, so they naturally have to prepare some things. In addition, since they are back in Nancheng and have a holiday, they will stay in Nancheng with their grandmother for a few days, and they have also prepared some luggage.
If you want to take something to a certain place, it is more convenient to drive. So, after deciding to return to South City, Tang Miao went to the piano store for a meeting on the first day. The piano store gave piano teachers a five-day holiday that day. On the day of the holiday, Tang Miao and He Xiao wandered around Huaicheng and bought some gifts and specialties.
After the purchase, the two drove to South City the next morning.
It didn't take much longer to get to Nancheng than to the ethnic minority villages, but the whole journey was on the highway, so the distance was still much longer. On the way, He Xiao drove the whole way, and the two of them had a meal at the service area at noon.
After eating and resting for a while, the two drove on to South City. After three hours, they got off the highway and entered South City completely.
It is a well-known city in China. Not only is it well developed, but it was also an ancient city with many relics and a very developed tourism industry.
Compared with small cities like Huaicheng, Nancheng has a large population and a large number of immigrants, and it has remained prosperous all year round. As soon as you enter the city, you will see all kinds of intricate elevated roads. The layout and construction of the entire city cannot be compared with Huaicheng.
If a city is well developed, the pace of life is also very fast. On the elevated road, cars were driving at high speed. When they arrived, it was almost two o'clock in the afternoon, which was the afternoon work time, and there was still some traffic jam.
The car was driving slowly. Tang Miao sat in the car and looked outside through the window.
The urban framework of South City and the tall buildings matched her eyes and the memories in her mind.
She has lived here for ten years, and even moved her household registration here. Although this city is huge and deep, Tang Miao has lived here for ten years and is familiar with its details.
As the two of them walked through the city, Tang Miao even saw an advertisement for the building where he used to work as a piano store.
Regarding Nancheng, Tang Miao had a lot of things happen here. As they drove, Tang Miao would occasionally stop at the intersection and talk to He Xiao.
For example, she had dinner here with colleagues, and she had dinner here with friends...but when she talked about her every detail in South City, she never mentioned anything about her and her ex-boyfriend.
Because there is no need. Just like a gust of wind, after it blows past, it only gives you a sense of coolness at the time. After the next gust of wind comes, there is no need for her to continue to immerse herself in the previous wind.
Although she has returned to South City now, South City is so big that she may not run into her ex-boyfriend even if she stays here for a few days.
When Tang Miao told him about South City, He Xiao just listened, and occasionally he would say a few words. He Xiao had lived in South City for a period of time, although it was very short, but he had lived there before and was not unfamiliar with this city.
And even if you have never lived there, there is a music festival held in the South City every year, and Whistling Passing is basically invited to perform.
Qi Yuan and his friends even went to his grandmother's house with him.
After getting off the highway and passing through the urban area of the south city, the car drove into the prosperous and charming old town of the south city.
Tang Miao knew this place. It was where the locals of South City lived.
Although this is the old city, it is surrounded by prosperous new buildings, and every inch of land is worth a lot of money. The buildings surrounded by it are not ordinary old and dilapidated small buildings, but ancient buildings in the style of the Republic of China in the south city.
This is where the richest people in South City live.
Tang Miao had never discussed He Xiao's family background with him in depth. However, he had heard from Yu Yaya that He Xiao's grandparents were both wealthy people of the older generation in Huaicheng, and even made it to the city's rich list. They also had a very large industry. So the four people who whizzed by were not short of money.
Since He Xiao's father's family background is comparable to that of his mother, He Xiao's father's family must also be quite good.
The car drove along the old street. The lush and dense plane trees were already showing signs of shedding leaves in autumn, leaving a bleak feeling on the ground, making the whole street more charming.
After listening to the old man's arrangements, He Xiao took Tang Miao to his room upstairs.
Tang Miao also said them one by one.
After falling asleep, He Xiao naturally held Tang Miao in his arms. Tang Miao turned around, smiled and kissed him. After she kissed, He Xiao kissed her back.
"I've slept too long." Tang Miao sat up and said this.
"Um."
After all, we drove all the way here and arrived in a new environment. It was afternoon and there was nothing to do. The other two would also stay at home for a while, so there was no need to be too clingy.
"Half past five." He Xiao said.
He Xiao's grandmother was not a difficult person to get along with. Instead, she was kind and gentle, which was natural for an old person. Because it was the first time she met Tang Miao, she couldn't avoid asking about her work and family situation when chatting with Tang Miao.
"Uncle Zhou."
"What time is it?" Tang Miao asked in a muffled voice while lying in He Xiao's arms.
Tang Miao moved on the bed, and He Xiao beside him asked, "Awake?"
The old woman looked over here, and He Xiao said in her ear, "It's grandma."
Tang Miao actually fell asleep.
-
The woman's teeth were small, and the grinding was not very powerful, and it was a bit itchy. He Xiao felt her grinding, raised his head, and his Adam's apple rolled along with his laughter.
"grandmother."
-
On top of the cheongsam, the old lady stood tall and elegant, with a pearl necklace around her neck, which was beautiful but not too extravagant.
As He Xiao was talking, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the window of the room. There was a yard behind the house, and the sound insulation of the glass was pretty good. However, in order to welcome them, the servants did not completely close the window when they cleaned it today. Through the gap, the sound from the yard came in.
Tang Miao was pulled aside by the old man to talk for a while.
Although she and He Xiao came to his grandmother's house, and although they were husband and wife, it was their first time there, so they were not particularly close and could be considered guests with a relatively good relationship at most.
But it is well maintained.
After hearing Tang Miao's call, the old man smiled gently and kindly, raised his arm and waved at her.
Uncle Zhou smiled and said, "Hello."
After He Xiao finished speaking, Tang Miao got up from his arms and sat up on the bed.
While the woman was talking, she lowered her head and leaned it against his arms. He Xiao felt the soft force on her forehead, lowered his head and kissed her hair, and responded.
Then, he went to lie on the bed.
"Yeah." Tang Miao turned around and buried herself in He Xiao's arms. She had just woken up and was still a little conscious. Even though the light was blocked, she was still a little uncomfortable.
She was very old, but time never defeated beauty. Even at her old age, one could still see her superior bone structure. And in that bone structure, He Xiao was somewhat similar to her.
When she woke up, it was already evening. The setting sun shone in obliquely, and the curtains by the window were half drawn, blocking the glaring light that came directly in.
The three of them sat in the living room and chatted for a while. Then the old man asked the two of them to go to the room on the second floor to rest.
Being kissed by He Xiao like this, Tang Miao smiled and rubbed his teeth against He Xiao's collarbone which had just finished a shower.
The car drove through a street and stopped in front of a French-style detached house.
Before the two arrived, someone was already waiting outside the villa. Tang Miao looked at the well-dressed man, who was about 40 or 50 years old, and glanced at He Xiao.
"Are you sure you want to sleep?" He Xiao asked.
While grandma and Tang Miao were talking, He Xiao sat aside and listened, occasionally saying a few words to them.
As for He Xiao's affairs, since she had not been around for many years, the old lady might have comforted herself and would not interfere too much. What He Xiao liked, she naturally liked too.
"Someone came to the house?"
It is indeed a bit impolite to sleep until 5:30 in the afternoon, which is dinner time.
This suite has always been He Xiao's room. There is a bedroom in the suite, as well as a separate bathroom and study, which is very convenient. After Tang Miao and He Xiao took their luggage back to the room, they each took a shower and changed their clothes.
After Tang Miao finished speaking, she lowered her head again. She slept too deeply and was a little troubled by nightmares. It was okay to sleep so deeply at night, but it was actually a bit uncomfortable to wake up after sleeping so deeply during the day.
"Nothing." After she got up, He Xiao also sat up with her and said this.
As he was talking, the car had already driven in front of Uncle Zhou, and Uncle Zhou also came to the passenger seat and opened the door. Seeing Tang Miao, Uncle Zhou smiled, and Tang Miao nodded slightly and called out.
"come over."
After He Xiao and Tang Miao entered the room, an old man sitting on the sofa turned around and looked over. The old man was wearing a dark blue cheongsam and looked to be about seventy years old. His hair was a mixture of black and white, meticulously tied behind his head and pinned with a green hairpin, which was very tasteful.
Ancient buildings, like ancient cultural relics, are full of profound craftsmanship, making people feel that they are not old but beautiful.
The two people's fingers were entangled together, kissing you sometimes, then kissing him sometimes, without doing anything else. This strange and long-uninhabited room was filled with sweetness.
He Xiao drove the car and said to Tang Miao, "He is the housekeeper of my grandmother's house. You can just call him Uncle Zhou like me."
While Uncle Zhou was greeting, Tang Miao got out of the car. He Xiao also got out of the car and opened the trunk. After Uncle Zhou opened the door, several servants came out and took down the things in the car together.
He looked down at Tang Miao, saw the corners of her lips slightly raised when she fell asleep, kissed her on the lips, and then held her in his arms again.
Her voice was a little hoarse from having just woken up. He Xiao held her in his arms and pinched her ears which were a little red from sleeping.
The voice didn't sound like He Xiao's grandmother's, but more like that of a young person. After hearing this, Tang Miao looked back at He Xiao and asked.
After He Xiao asked, Tang Miao smiled, put away his teeth, and hugged him.
After listening to this, Tang Miao followed He Xiao, nodded slightly at the old man, and called out with a smile.
"It's all fine." He Xiao had only driven for four hours, so it was nothing to him.
"Do you want to sleep?" Tang Miao asked.
After the woman put away her teeth, she hugged him obediently and closed her eyes as if she really fell asleep. He Xiao lowered his head, his eyes full of emotions, but he suppressed them a little.
Tang Miao kissed He Xiao for a while, then raised her hand and touched his face.
After taking the things down, He Xiao gave the car keys to the family's driver, and then took Tang Miao into the villa.
This house must be quite old.
-
After hearing what He Xiao said, Tang Miao smiled, leaned into his arms, and said, "Then I'm going to sleep. I've been very busy recently and I'm a little tired."
