When He Lianyu brought the gifts prepared by Jiang Changning home and gave them to his family, he repeatedly explained that they were given by his girlfriend.
Mother He put her hands together and turned around, "Thank God, thank the earth, thank all the gods and Buddhas, the pigs I have raised for more than 30 years can finally eat cabbages!"
He Lianyu was left in tears and amused by his mother's behavior.
"What's your girlfriend's name? What does she do? How old is she? Why don't you bring her back?" He's mother asked repeatedly.
"Her name is Jiang Changning. She works at the Ancient Rhyme Research Institute. She is 28 years old. She has returned home. After the New Year, I will find a chance to bring her to see you." He Lianyu answered truthfully.
This is a pretty good situation!
Looking at the gifts she prepared, they are well-thought-out, showing that she is a thoughtful person.
He's mother slapped her son on the back and asked, "Have you prepared any gifts for her family?"
"Yes, I took all the gifts with me when I sent her back yesterday."
"After arriving at her house, did she ask you to go upstairs for tea and meet her family?" He's mother stared at her son with sparkling eyes.
"I drank tea and met her parents." He Lianyu didn't tell her that Jiang Changning didn't want him to send her off, but he insisted.
After sending her to the place, he chatted with her slowly and successfully persuaded Jiang Changning's parents to come down from upstairs. He then told them his identity naturally.
Then, Mr. and Mrs. Jiang warmly invited me to go upstairs for tea.
"Remember to bring the person back to celebrate the Lantern Festival." He's mother decided happily.
"Okay." He Lianyu touched his chin. He should be able to convince her.
The next day was New Year's Eve, and Jiang Changning was "fixed" on the sofa by her mother, "Check your phone, watch your TV, and don't come to the kitchen to make trouble or eat secretly."
Jiang Changning was silent. Does her mother still remember that she is already 28 years old this year, not 8
Well, in her parents' eyes, she will always be a child.
Well, she'll just listen to what you say and browse her phone and watch TV.
CCTV-1 is broadcasting the Spring Festival Galas of previous years. It is lively, full of laughter and stars.
After listening to two songs, Jiang Changning switched to CCTV Channel 3.
CCTV Channel 3 was playing the program recorded at the art festival years ago. Coincidentally, it was the sixth program.
"Dad, look up and see your daughter on TV."
Father Jiang looked up and said, "Hey, girl, is that you?"
"How many daughters do you have?"
"My daughter looks like a fairy when she's dressed up." Father Jiang said happily, "Old lady, come out and see your daughter. Your daughter is on TV."
"What? Who's on TV?" Mother Jiang came over with a big soup spoon.
Seeing her daughter wearing Chinese traditional costume and playing the zither on TV, Jiang's mother narrowed her eyes and smiled, "She is indeed my daughter."
The two elders forgot to ask how Jiang Changning could play the guqin.
The He family happened to be watching CCTV-3. When they saw Jiang Changning appear on the TV screen, He Lianyu immediately told his family proudly, "This is my girlfriend Jiang Changning."
He's mother was full of suspicion, "She's a celebrity, how could she be your girlfriend?" She slapped He Lianyu on the back, "I knew you were lying, you don't even have a girlfriend, you made me so happy for nothing."
"Mom, I didn't lie to you, this is really my girlfriend." He Lianyu repeatedly stated that this beauty was his girlfriend, and promised to bring her to everyone for a look during the Lantern Festival.
"You have to keep your word. If you don't, you're a puppy." He's mother still pointed at him with concern.
He Lianyu smiled helplessly, "Don't worry, it will definitely count."
After eating the New Year’s Eve dinner, He Lianyu didn’t have the patience to watch the Spring Festival Gala. He went upstairs to his room and called his girlfriend.
He's wife saw this and said to He's mother, "It seems like he really has a girlfriend."
"It's good that you didn't lie to me. It's good that you didn't lie to me." He's mother patted her chest, feeling relieved.
When Jiang Changning received a call from He Lianyu, he was eating a mango with his hands full of juice.
"It's Xiao He's call, answer it quickly and don't eat anymore." Jiang's mother snatched the mango from her hand.
"Ningning, what are you doing?"
"Eating fruit and watching TV, how about you?"
"I'm thinking about you." He Lianyu said in a low, teasing voice.
Jiang Changning pursed his lips and said, "We just met yesterday."
"One day without seeing you feels like three years."
Jiang Changning chuckled, "President He is becoming more and more slick-tongued now."
"to be honest."
The two chatted about meaningless things for an hour and the battery of their cell phones ran low.
He Lianyu wanted to charge his phone and continue chatting, but Jiang Changning disagreed. "Charge your phone first, and then play after midnight."
"Okay, let's continue our conversation later." That was all He Lianyu could say.
At midnight, Jiang Changning called He Lianyu first, "Ah Yu, Happy New Year!"
"Ningning, Happy New Year!"
The two chatted for a while, and then He Lianyu asked her, "When did you go back to City B?"
"I will go to work on the seventh day and go back on the sixth day."
"Ningning, do you still remember that you have a boyfriend?"
Jiang Changning chuckled, "So when do you want me to go back to City B?"
"I'll pick you up on the third day."
"No, on the third day of the New Year, my parents are going to treat their friends to a meal, so I can't leave. On the fourth day, you have to pick me up."
"Okay." He Lianyu smiled happily. The fourth, fifth and sixth days of the New Year gave them three days to spend together.
Early in the morning on the fourth day of the New Year, He Lianyu excitedly drove to pick up Jiang Changning.
Father Jiang opened the door and saw it was him. He said with a straight face, "Why are you here?"
"Come and wish my uncle and aunt a happy new year." He Lianyu was holding wine and milk in his hands.
When Jiang's mother saw him, she couldn't stop smiling. "Xiao He is here, come in quickly, come in quickly. What are you doing standing at the door, old man? Make a pot of your good tea and go quickly."
After letting He Lianyu into the house, Jiang's mother called out, "Jiang Changning, come out quickly, Xiao He is here."
Jiang Changning responded and walked out of the room. He Lianyu saw her wearing a flowery jacket and two braided pigtails and smiled, "Your outfit is very unique today."
"The ultimate in rusticity is beauty." Jiang Changning smiled playfully.
In front of Jiang's father and mother, He Lianyu's sweet words were hard to say, "You're right."
After having lunch at Jiang's house, He Lianyu returned to City B with Jiang Changning, carrying a trunk full of things, following Jiang's mother's instructions.
After driving for a distance, He Lianyu stopped the car and unbuckled his seat belt.
Jiang Changning was a little confused, "What's wrong?"
He Lianyu leaned over and kissed her.
This was a long-endured kiss, and there was inevitably a hint of eagerness in its gentleness.
After kissing for a long time, He Lianyu let her go and raised his hand to touch her slightly hot face. "When I saw you, I wanted to kiss you. Finally, I got my wish."
Jiang Changning glared at him and said, "Sit tight and drive quickly."
You can park your car here without worrying about being seen by passers-by.
