Old Master Xia turned around and saw Xia Tian and Qiu Mengyun who had parked the car and were about to go upstairs.
He said in surprise: "Mengyun, you are here! Why do you bring so many things with you if you come?"
Qiu Mengyun smiled and said, "This is my first time coming home, so I can't come empty-handed!"
"It's not something particularly valuable, just a little token of my appreciation."
Old Master Xia smiled and said, "Okay, okay! I hope you have this heart, Mengyun."
After he finished speaking, he turned to look at the group of old men and women beside him and said proudly, "Humph! See? This is my grandson's girlfriend."
"Isn't she young and beautiful? Let's see who dares to say that my grandson is kept by a rich woman in the future."
Qiu Mengyun also cooperated by taking off her sunglasses and greeted everyone with a smile: "Hello, grandparents. I am Xia Tian's girlfriend, Qiu Mengyun."
After saying that, he took a bag that had been prepared in advance from Xia Tian's hand, opened it, and placed it on the stone table in the middle of the crowd.
"This is my first time here, and I didn't bring anything with me. These are some candies and snacks I brought from home. I hope you don't mind."
When someone saw what was in the bag, they immediately exclaimed.
"Wow! I've seen this kind of snack in the mall, and it seems to cost hundreds of dollars per pound."
"I know this candy. It's imported. It's said to be very popular abroad. You have to have connections to buy it."
"Oh! Xia Tian, you are too polite. We are neighbors, so there is no need to be so polite."
"Girl, you're definitely right to choose Xia Tian as your boyfriend. We watched him grow up, and he's an honest and obedient boy."
"Xiaotian is so lucky to have found such a beautiful and sensible girlfriend."
…
Listening to the envy and praise from the people around him, Old Master Xia curled his lips and said, "Huh! Didn't you just say that Xiaotian's girlfriend is probably the same age as you guys?"
"Now that the Mengyun people are here, why don't you say anything?"
"If you ask me, you shouldn't be given these snacks and candies."
Xia Tian smiled and persuaded: "Okay, Grandpa, there's no need to worry about such a small matter. Let's go home first!"
Qiu Mengyun also persuaded, "Grandpa Xia, let's go back together. It's a good opportunity for us to see if you like the gift I brought you."
Old Master Xia nodded and said, "Okay, let's go home. Let me see what gift Mengyun brought me."
The three of them left together, talking and laughing.
Looking at the backs of the three people leaving, the remaining old men and women began to talk.
"Is that really Xia Tian's girlfriend? Judging from the way she's dressed, she seems to be quite rich."
"Tsk, isn't it just because his grandson is so handsome that he found a rich and beautiful girlfriend? What's so great about that?"
"That's right, maybe she's just playing around with him, otherwise she wouldn't come to him for the first time after dating him for so long."
"Old Man Xia was just bragging. Wasn't his future granddaughter-in-law a famous star? It's obvious which star she is. He must be trying to trick people."
"What do you know? The girl just now is indeed a star. My granddaughter has a poster of her in her room. She seems to be a singer. She said she is quite famous."
"Is the Xia family's ancestors really blessed? How come such a good thing happened to them?"
…
They don’t care what the neighbors say in the summer.
When I got home, I saw that my father Xia Zhenxing had already finished all the cleaning and was sitting in the living room waiting.
His mother, Fang Wenjing, had also returned from shopping and was now sitting on the sofa in the living room, chatting with his father.
"Dad, Mom, we're back."
After entering the door, Xia Tian greeted his parents in the living room.
"Are you back? Where's Mengyun? Did you pick her up?"
Qiu Mengyun's figure was just blocked by Xia Tian and Old Man Xia behind her.
Seeing that only one person was carrying things, Fang Wenjing asked with concern.
"Auntie, I'm here." Hearing that Xia Tian's mother cared so much about her, Qiu Mengyun stepped forward and greeted her with a smile.
"Mengyun, you're here. Change your shoes and come over to sit down. Auntie has been wanting to see you again since we last parted in the hospital." Fang Wenjing waved to Qiu Mengyun enthusiastically.
Xia Tian complained gloomily, "Mom, you are too partial."
"I greeted you as soon as I walked in, but all you had eyes for was Meng Yun."
Fang Wenjing laughed and said, "You little brat, you've been back for several days now. I, your mother, have been fed up with you for a long time."
After changing into her slippers, Qiu Mengyun walked over with a smile, carrying a gift for Xia Ma.
"Auntie, this is a gift I brought you. My friend and I picked it out at the mall. It's not expensive, but it's just a token of my appreciation."
Fang Wenjing didn't beat around the bush and opened the box directly in front of Qiu Mengyun.
After seeing the pendant inside, she happily praised: "Wow! This pendant is so beautiful, Auntie likes it very much."
"Mengyun has good taste. Unlike that brat Xia Tian, the gifts he always brings me are so ugly."
Qiu Mengyun smiled and said, "As long as you like it, Auntie. Before I came here, I was worried that you wouldn't like the style I chose."
Fang Wenjing smiled and said, "How could that be? Auntie likes everything you pick, Mengyun."
Xia Tian, who had just changed into slippers, heard what her mother said and said dissatisfiedly: "Mom, I don't like what you said."
"If you want to praise Mengyun for her good taste, just go ahead and do it. No one's stopping you. But why did you bring me along? Why did you have to praise one and criticize the other?"
Fang Wenjing didn't give Xia Tian a good look at all: "Humph! If you don't like it, just bear with it."
"Did your mom say something wrong? Look for yourself, aren't the things Mengyun picked much better looking than what you picked?"
Before Xia could speak, Xia Zhenxing beside him said, "Yeah! It's much better looking than the one Xiaotian picked. It suits you very well."
Xia Tian rolled his eyes and said, "Forget it. There are more of you. I can't defeat you."
Qiu Mengyun looked at Xia Zhenxing and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Uncle Xia, Xia Tian didn't tell me what you like, so I just bought some cigarettes and alcohol."
Xia Zhenxing smiled and said, "It's okay. I don't have anything I particularly like anyway. It doesn't matter what you buy, as long as the thought is there."
Qiu Mengyun nodded, stood up and ran to the door, opening a big box.
"Grandpa Xia, this is the foot bath tub I bought for you. Washing your feet more often is good for your health."
"I also ordered a massage chair for you, but it will probably take a while for it to be delivered."
Old Master Xia looked at the foot bath tub on the ground and said with satisfaction, "Great, great! Miss Mengyun, you are so thoughtful. Grandpa likes this gift you gave me very much."
