Chapter 52
Chapter 52
Shen Mian didn't close the door until Xie Qiaoyu got into the elevator.
After entering the house, Shen Mian simply cleaned up the kitchen, thinking that she would clean up her great masterpiece yesterday after waking up.
But often the more people want to do something, the more they cannot do it.
Just when Shen Mian just wanted to catch up on sleep, she heard the doorbell ringing when she just lay down/before the quilt was covered.
Shen Mian had question marks on her face, wondering who would come to Xie Qiaoyu at this time.Slipping on his slippers, he yawned a lot as he walked towards the door because he was too sleepy.
Shen Mian didn't look out from the cat's eyes, and opened the door directly.
Accompanied by a creak, the people inside and outside the door were all stunned when they saw each other.
When the two people standing outside the door saw that the person who opened the door was not Xie Qiaoyu, the smiles on their faces froze for a moment. They thought they had found the wrong place.
But after seeing Shen Mian's appearance clearly, the smile of the person standing in front became brighter than before.
Shen Mian thought it would be a property or a courier, but he didn't expect to see two old people after opening the door.
Two people stood at the door one behind the other.
The person in front was older, gray-haired, and looked about seven or eighty years old.After seeing Shen Mian, the old man's sharp eyebrows became benevolent, and he was looking at Shen Mian with a hearty smile at the moment.
The person behind is younger than the old man, about 50 to [-] years old, with an amiable appearance and a pair of glasses above his nose.
After a few seconds, Shen Mian politely asked: "...Are you?"
The person standing behind heard Shen Mian's question, pushed his glasses and asked kindly, "Excuse me, does Miss Xie Qiaoyu live here?"
After hearing that the two knew Xie Qiaoyu, Shen Mian breathed a sigh of relief and nodded.
The person standing behind heard that he had found the right place, and said with a smile, "We are from Beijing. This is Miss Xie's grandfather, Mr. Lin."
As soon as the words came out, Shen Mian felt relieved just now.Quickly turning her eyes to the old man standing in front, she said why she felt nervous when she saw the old man for the first time.
It turns out... this is the parent!
The old man was leaning on crutches with his right hand. Although his back was slightly bowed, it was much stiffer compared with his peers. Feeling the majesty emanating from the old man, Shen Mian bent down and called, "Hi, Grandpa."
Then without waiting for Lin Lirong to speak, Shen Mian continued to bend over and introduce herself: "Grandpa, my name is Shen Mian, and I am sister Qiao Yu's friend. You can call me Xiao Mian."
"I know what your name is." After Lin Lirong finished speaking, he moved the crutch in his hand, and the crutch made a loud bang on the ground, only to hear Lin Lirong snorted softly and said, "But did you call me by mistake?"
Shen Mian's heart skipped a beat, she straightened up and looked at Lin Lirong, not knowing where she made a mistake.
Uncle Chen only knew that Xie Qiaoyu liked the girls of the Shen family in Qingshi, but Uncle Chen didn't know what Shen Mian looked like. When he heard Shen Mian's self-introduction, he knew that the little girl in front of him was the one the young lady liked.
Hearing the master's cold snort, and looking at Miss Shen's bewildered expression, Uncle Chen coughed and reminded: "Miss Shen, the master already knows about you and Miss, if you want to call, call grandpa."
understood?
Oh, last time sister Qiao Yu mentioned to her that Lin Lirong already knew about the two of them, she forgot.
Shen Mian looked at Lin Lirong, and called out hesitantly, "...Grandpa, grandpa."
This grandfather called out Lin Lirong's heart, the smile on his face was even bigger, he laughed and said: "Hahaha, little girl and child can be taught."
After speaking, Lin Lirong waved to Uncle Chen and said, "Xiao Chen, quickly give me the greeting gift I gave to my granddaughter."
Uncle Chen opened the leather bag in his hand after responding, and took out a red pocket.
The pattern of the bag is fine, and the fabric is also very soft. You can tell that the things inside are very valuable.
Lin Lirong took it, gave the pocket to Shen Mian, and said while giving it, "Open it quickly and see if you like it?"
Shen Mian took the pocket and didn't rush to open it, but gave way to the body blocking the door, and said, "Grandpa, why don't you come home first? Let's sit down and talk slowly."
"Okay, okay." Shen Mian's sensibility made Lin Lirong feel at ease, but when he was about to take a step, Lin Lirong sighed in a low voice, "Oh, I'm getting old, and I won't be able to take a step if I stand here for a long time .”
Shen Mian immediately raised her hand and said, "Then I will support you."
After entering the door, Lin Lirong and Uncle Chen saw the birthday decorations in the living room clearly, and Lin Lirong saw the cake on the table that Shen Mian hadn't had time to collect.
After helping Lin Lirong to the sofa, Shen Mian smiled and said, "Grandpa, sit down first, I'll get you two a glass of water."
When going to pour water, Shen Mian changed out of her pajamas as quickly as possible.
When Shen Mian brought the water in front of the two of them, Lin Lirong looked at the well-behaved Shen Mian and nodded, feeling extremely satisfied.
But Shen Mian was very uneasy. The reason for the uneasiness was not because of how powerful Lin Lirong was, but because he was Xie Qiaoyu's grandfather and Xie Qiaoyu's relatives. Shen Mian was afraid that he would be denied if he did not perform well.
Shen Mian insisted on showing her best side no matter what, and said, "Grandpa drinks tea."
Lin Lirong responded, "The grandpa you call out, the little girl, sounds better than Xiaoyu."
Shen Mian lowered her eyes and smiled, not knowing how to respond.
After Uncle Chen entered the door, he stood by the sofa. Shen Mian looked at it, got up and went to the dining table to move a chair, "Uncle Chen, sit on the chair."
Uncle Chen just said thank you, but didn't sit down.After Lin Lirong saw it, he was afraid that Shen Mian would feel embarrassed, so he said: "Sit when the child asks you to sit. You are not too young. If you stand for a long time, the child is afraid that your legs will hurt. Is what grandpa said right? Mian girl. "Lin Lirong said the second half of the sentence while looking at Shen Mian.
The nervous Shen Mian actually didn't think too much, it was just because Uncle Chen couldn't drink water standing up, but after hearing what Lin Lirong said, Shen Mian didn't deny it, but nodded.
After Uncle Chen sat down, Shen Mian called out: "Grandpa, Uncle Chen."
When the two looked over, Shen Mian said politely, "You guys drink tea first, and I'll call Sister Qiao Yu."
Thinking that Xie Qiaoyu didn't ask Lin Lirong to come when he left in the morning, Shen Mian thought that the two old people must have come secretly, Shen Mian felt that it was necessary to tell Xie Qiaoyu about it.
Lin Lirong smiled and waved his hands, "Go, go, do whatever you want, pretend we don't exist."
Shen Mian walked to the kitchen and dialed the phone.
The phone was connected after only one ring, and Xie Qiaoyu's clear voice rang in Shen Mian's ear: "Mianmian? Woke up?"
Shen Mian looked at her dark circles under the reflection of the glass, and said, "...Grandpa is here."
Xie Qiaoyu raised her eyebrows, and it took a few seconds to understand the information in Shen Mian's words, "... Got it, I'll go back right away."
"Okay." Just as she was about to hang up the phone, Shen Mian said, "By the way, sister Qiao Yu, there are no men's slippers at home. Buy two pairs when you come back."
Xie Qiaoyu knew immediately that it was Uncle Chen who came with the old man.
"Well." Xie Qiao said: "If you feel uncomfortable, you can go to another room and wait for me to go back."
"I'm not uncomfortable, it's just..." Shen Mian said in a low voice, "I'm a little nervous."
Xie Qiaoyu heard that Shen Mian was really nervous, and comforted her, "It's okay, it's enough that I like you."
Xie Qiaoyu knew Shen Mian's worry.
Listening to Xie Qiaoyu's words, for some reason, Shen Mian did feel a little more relaxed.
"I see, come back quickly."
The two hung up the phone, Shen Mian took a few deep breaths and walked out of the kitchen.
Lin Lirong was looking at the balloons on the wall, and when he saw Shen Mian coming, he waved to him and said, "Girl, come with Grandpa."
Shen Mian hummed and sat next to Lin Lirong.
Lin Lirong pointed to the wall and said, "Girl, this...you arranged this for Xiaoyu?"
Shen Mian hummed, and became much more eager because there was no burden, and said, "Isn't it beautiful?"
"It's beautiful! It's beautiful!" Lin Lirong laughed, "Xiaoyu doesn't like birthdays. In the past, every time I called her on her birthday, she said that her birthday was just a day and nothing important, but now..."
Lin Lirong didn't continue, but changed the subject and asked, "How did you play with Xiaoyu yesterday? Are you happy?"
Shen Mian recalled last night, "...very happy."
Shen Mian didn't know if Xie Qiaoyu was happy, but Shen Mian was very happy last night.
Looking at the balloons on the wall, Shen Mian suddenly thought of the purpose of Lin Lirong's visit, and asked respectfully, "Grandpa came this time to celebrate sister Qiao Yu's birthday?"
Lin Lirong: "That's right."
In fact, the main purpose was to see Shen Mian, but Lin Lirong was afraid that the little girl in front of him would be frightened by him, so he didn't say it.
After Xie Qiaoyu came back from Beijing, Lin Lirong couldn't bear the old age complex in his heart, and called Xie Qiaoyu every few days to ask her progress.
After hearing that the two were finally together, Lin Lirong asked Xie Qiaoyu to take Shen Mian back to the north of Beijing for the old man to have a look at, but Xie Qiaoyu refused.
No matter how many times Lin Lirong mentioned it, Xie Qiaoyu changed the subject.
Lin Lirong: Since you won't bring it back, I'll come and visit my grandson-in-law's head office, shall I?
Originally, Lin Lirong wanted to come yesterday, but he didn't expect that there was no flight yesterday, so the two had to catch the earliest flight today and came to Qingshi.
After resting in the hotel for a while, Lin Lirong couldn't wait to come to Xie Qiaoyu's home. He wanted to meet Xie Qiaoyu, but he didn't expect a surprise, which made him meet his grandson-in-law for the first time.
"... "
The three of them were chatting, and Xie Qiaoyu rushed back.
"Miss." Uncle Chen stood up and called after seeing Xie Qiao's words.
After Xie Qiaoyu nodded and called Uncle Chen, looking at the person sitting on the sofa, Xie Qiaoyu called with a sullen face, "Grandpa."
Lin Lirong was originally in a good mood, but Xie Qiaoyu's attitude was not friendly at all, so he snorted, "Why? Are you so unhappy that I'm here?"
Xie Qiaoyu ignored Lin Lirong's deliberate finding, and just asked, "Are you all right?"
Lin Lirong felt proud when he heard that his granddaughter cared about him, but his face was still drooping: "No."
Xie Qiaoyu looked at Lin Lirong's face, and after making sure that there was no sign of distress, he realized that there was one person missing.
Shen Mian is not there.
Xie Qiaoyu asked, "Where's Xiao Mian?"
When Lin Lirong heard Shen Mian's name, the unhappiness on his face was replaced by a smile, and he pointed in the direction of the kitchen: "Girl went to answer the phone."
A few minutes before Xie Qiaoyu came back, Shen Zhixing called Shen Mian.
As Shen Mian came out of the kitchen, she saw Xie Qiaoyu at a glance, "Sister Qiao Yu."
After yelling, Shen Mian sat down next to Lin Lirong, and said apologetically, "Grandpa, my family called me to go home. Since sister Qiao Yu is back, I will leave first."
Shen Zhixing's tone on the phone was not very good, Shen Mian was scared, she had to go back and calm down her brother's mood.
"Girl, you don't live with Xiaoyu?" Lin Lirong asked in surprise.
Shen Mian was wearing pajamas when he opened the door, Lin Lirong saw this for real, he thought the young couple lived together.
Shen Mian's earlobes were reddened by Lin Lirong's words, and he quickly explained: "Last night was too late for Sister Qiao Yu's birthday, so I slept at Sister Qiao Yu's house."
Lin Lirong patted Shen Mian's hand, "Grandpa thought you were living together, so since the family is looking for you, you can go back and come to see grandpa tomorrow."
Shen Mian nodded: "OK."
After speaking, Shen Mian got up and walked out.
Seeing Xie Qiaoyu standing still, Lin Lirong frowned and said, "Xiaoyu, go and send Mian girl home."
"I'll see you off?" Xie Qiaoyu asked uncertainly.
Having been rejected too many times, Xie Qiaoyu was cautious when asking questions.
Shen Mian wanted Xie Qiaoyu to spend more time with Lin Lirong, but when she was about to refuse, she thought of what Xie Qiaoyu said last night, and immediately nodded in response: "Okay."
After Xie Qiaoyu heard it, she suddenly rejoiced that she was drunk last night.If not, Shen Mian would still refuse her to give it away.
The two said goodbye to Lin Lirong and Uncle Chen, and went downstairs to the car.
After getting in the car, Xie Qiaoyu didn't rush to start the car but turned to look at Shen Mian and said, "I didn't expect grandpa to come suddenly, are you scared?"
Shen Mian shook her head: "Why? I should be happy that grandpa came. In fact, I was a little nervous at the beginning. I was afraid that grandpa would not like me, but after I got your comfort, I was not nervous. Then I gradually found that , Grandpa seems to like me quite a bit.”
"No matter what you do, it's a crowd pleaser."
Xie Qiaoyu held Shen Mian's hand, "So don't worry about being disliked in the future."
Shen Mian held Xie Qiaoyu with her backhand.
In fact, Xie Qiaoyu's worry was not superfluous. Shen Mian was indeed a little scared. She never thought that the day of meeting her parents would come so soon and so suddenly.
Fortunately, Lin Lirong is easy to get along with.
