Chapter 279, Telling Stories, Giving Gifts
Zeng Shuai’s hometown is Shixiang Town, Tongjiang County, Mianzhou City. This is a three-no town with no factories, mines, scenic spots, and special industries. It is precisely because of this that the ecological environment of Shixiang Town is well maintained and there is no pollution. Some of the people in the town make a living by farming, some go out to work, and some do small businesses such as tobacco, alcohol, side dishes, and vegetables in the town. The whole town is dull.
The town is not big, with only one main street. Both sides of the street are covered with dense sycamore trees with a diameter of more than ten centimeters. The weather is hot at this time, and people are enjoying the cool under the sycamore trees, setting up dragon gate formations, and burst into laughter from time to time, adding a touch of excitement to the quiet town, but overall it is very harmonious.
Zeng Shuai’s house is at the end of the town and belongs to the junction of town and villages. In front of the door is a cement courtyard of several dozen square meters, followed by the county road cement road, with convenient transportation, and behind the house is a countryside, with good scenery.
It was less than 100 kilometers away from Mianzhou Middle School to Zeng Shuai's doorstep. Zeng Shuai did not drive his Lamborghini sports car, but it was impossible for him to take the Ning family's daughter toss and turn to take the shuttle bus, so he booked a taxi and went straight to the doorstep.
People's lives are better now. Although it is a bit luxurious for rural people to take a taxi home directly, it is not a rare thing. Since Zeng Shuai called his home in advance, when the taxi arrived at the door of Zeng's house, Zeng Shuai's parents all came out.
Looking at the middle-aged couple who were both familiar and unfamiliar, Zeng Shuai still smiled affectionately and shouted: "Dad, mom, I'm back!"
Unexpectedly, the middle-aged couple was stunned. Even though Zeng Shuai had already revealed a lot of information to them on the phone, the middle-aged couple still stared at Zeng Shuai for a while before saying, "Are you Xiao Shuai?"
"Dad, mom, what are your eyes? I haven't seen you for a few months, and you can't even recognize your son?" Zeng Shuai said with a smile.
"Old Zeng, this is Xiaoshuai, it's really Xiaoshuai!" Zeng Shuai's mother Li Xiuying smiled and said, "Son, you haven't come back in the past few months. You suddenly grew so tall. We almost couldn't recognize you!"
Zeng Shuai’s father Zeng Yunlong also smiled and said, “You kid, what have you eaten in the past few months? Why have you grown so tall?”
Yes, from less than 1.7 meters to more than 1.8 meters, the distance is indeed quite large. In addition, Zeng Shuai has a completely different appearance, dress, temperament, etc. from the previous Zeng Shuai, so it is understandable that Zeng Yunlong and Li Xiuying could not recognize him for a while.
If Zeng Shuai hadn't become so handsome, it would have been based on the change in Zeng Shuai's face shape. Otherwise, if Zeng Yunlong and Li Xiuying were killed, they would not have recognized this kid.
Zeng Shuai smiled and said, "Dad, mom, this matter is a long story. Let's talk about it tomorrow. Let me introduce to you my girlfriend, Ning Meng, isn't she beautiful? Not only that, my girlfriend Xiuwai Huizhong, is she still the class monitor of our class. Her academic performance is very good, and she has been the first in our class many times."
Ning Meng's pretty face turned red when she heard this. This boy praised her a little embarrassed. Before you broke out, I was indeed the first place in the class, but after you broke out, how could I have the first place? She gave Zeng Shuai charmingly, bowed slightly to Zeng Yunlong and Li Xiuying and said sweetly: "Uncle, Auntie, hello, I will come uninvited, please don't be surprised!"
"Oh, Xiao Ning, you are also good. You are Xiao Shuai's girlfriend. This will be your home in the future. When you go back to your own home, why do we blame you? I'm afraid you don't come often!" Li Xiuying smiled and said, "Okay, let's stop standing at the door and talking. Come in, hurry up and go into the house."
After entering the main hall, a table of dishes, a bottle of white wine and a bottle of juice had already been set up on the dining table. The whole family sat around the table. Li Xiuying looked at Ning Meng, and couldn't stop the smile on her face. She smiled and said, "Hey, what a great girl, why did she fall in love with our little handsome?"
"Ahem..." Zeng Shuai couldn't help but say: "Mom, are you talking about your son like that? Am I not worthy of Ning Meng?"
Li Xiuying smiled and said, "If you were half a year ago, you would be a little short of it. But in the past few months, you have grown taller and more handsome. You two stand together, you are really a golden boy and you are very good at matching!"
"This is almost the same!" Zeng Shuai said with a smile: "Mom, let's have a meal soon. I'm hungry, let's talk while eating!"
"If you are hungry, just eat it. We are all a family. Why are you polite? Come on, Xiao Ning, I'll pour you a glass of juice." Li Xiuying said with a smile.
"Well, thank you aunt." Ning Meng said politely.
Zeng Shuai also picked up the white wine bottle, poured a glass for his father and himself, and said with a smile: "Dad, come on, I'll have a drink with you!"
"Okay, my son has grown up and will drink white wine. Come on, let's have a good meal today!" Zeng Yunlong said happily. Seeing his son changing so much and bringing back a well-behaved girlfriend, how could he be unhappy? Even if he had many questions in his heart, he had to wait until he finished his meal before he could talk slowly.
The meal was happy and warm. After the meal, Ning Meng and Li Xiuying cleaned the table and dishes together. Although Li Xiuying tried her best to not let Ning Meng help and let her sit and rest, Ning Meng still rushed to help wash the dishes. Finally, Zeng Shuai said, "Mom, just let Mengmeng wash the dishes. She is the first time she comes, so she has to make some performance. Don't you leave a good first impression and marry into our Zeng family smoothly in the future! After all, your son is married to your wife, and your two elders' opinions are also very important, right?"
Li Xiuying smiled and said, "You kid, are you so confident? If you don't cherish such a good girl, I won't let you enter the house!"
"Did you hear it? Mengmeng, can you rest assured now?" Zeng Shuai said with a smile.
Ning Meng answered the question irrelevantly and smiled shyly, "I'm going to wash the dishes!" After that, she walked towards the kitchen with a stack of cups, plates and bowls.
Li Xiuying smiled and said, "Xiao Ning, Auntie Wash with you." As she said that, Li Xiuying hurriedly followed into the kitchen and asked a city girl who came to her house for the first time to wash dishes. This is not a good way to treat guests.
So, only Zeng Shuai and his father Zeng Yunlong were left in the main hall. Zeng Yunlong lit a cigarette, held it in his mouth and stared at Zeng Shuai. Zeng Shuai couldn't help but smile and said, "Dad, why are you looking at me like this?"
"You kid doesn't come back once a few months. I'll see if you can't do it?" Zeng Yunlong said with a smile. Zeng Shuai basically went home once a month in the first semester of the first and second semesters of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of the second semester of Zeng Shuai has never come back for the whole semester. He calls every weekend to report some of his affairs, but the phone was not very clear. Zeng Yunlong is still not very clear about Zeng Shuai's actions this semester.
If Zeng Shuai hadn't said he would definitely come back after the summer tutoring class, Zeng Yunlong almost went to school to see him, and saw what the kid was doing if he didn't come back for a few months. Now, although his son has returned, these questions naturally have to be asked clearly: "Say, what have you done this semester? What's going on with you after sending so much money? What's going on with your girlfriend? And your studies..."
"Okay, dad, don't ask. I will start from the start of this semester. I will tell you what happened and did every day, and I will continue to talk until the holiday this afternoon. You will know what I have done this semester. Is this OK?" Zeng Shuai said with a smile.
Zeng Yunlong nodded and said, "I think it's OK!"
"I'm still traveling to China!" Zeng Shuai laughed and said with a smile: "Dad, do you know why I'm so busy this semester? Because I'm studying harder than before, this is also the reason why I can get the first place in the school! Of course, in addition to learning classroom knowledge, I have also learned a lot of extracurricular knowledge, such as jewelry and jade. It is precisely because of using this knowledge that I have made a lot of money..."
These words are very long. Ning Meng and Li Xiuying finished washing the dishes, packing the kitchen, and also came to the main hall to listen to him telling "story".
Of course, Zeng Shuai could not tell the truth to his parents, so he could only make up randomly. However, there is a certain reason to make up randomly, and his parents must make up. However, Ning Meng testified on the side, and Zeng Shuai took out two jade jewelry to give to the two elders. Zeng Shuai's parents had to believe it even if they didn't believe it.
Zeng Shuai took out two jade jewelry, one was Jade Guanyin and the other was Jade bracelet. Zeng Shuai handed the bracelet to Li Xiuying and said, "Mom, this jade bracelet is made for you by the jade I personally selected. If you are not in good health, this jade bracelet has the effect of nourishing your body. If you wear it every day, your body will get better and better day by day."
"That's as magical as you said. If you really want to be as magical as you said, won't all the doctors in the world be unemployed?" Li Xiuying said with a smile, but she still put the jade bracelet on her wrist and felt quite comfortable.
Ning Mengze smiled and said, "Auntie Zeng Shuai said it really. If everyone can wear this kind of bracelet, there is really no need for a doctor. Unfortunately, such jade bracelets are very rare and cannot be bought even if they have money. If they have to buy them, this bracelet is worth millions no matter how hard it is!"
"Millions..." Li Xiuying almost got angry, "It's so expensive? Then how dare I wear it? If I touch it and fall, wouldn't it be gone for millions? I won't wear it anymore." As he said that, Li Xiuying was about to take off the bracelet.
Ning Meng hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't take it. This bracelet is a gift from Zeng Shuai. How could a mother refuse her son's gift? Besides, Zeng Shuai is not short of money now, nor is it short of these jadeites, so you can wear it even if you fall and touch it. Zeng Shuai will give you one more!"
Li Xiuying was still a little worried and said, "Son, is this thing really that expensive?"
Zeng Shuai smiled and said, "Mom, don't care whether it is expensive or not. It is the gift I gave you, a gift that is good for your health. You don't have to worry about anything else! If you are not at ease, just treat it as a stone bracelet."
After comforting Li Xiuying, Zeng Shuai gave Jade Guanyin to his father Zeng Yunlong. Zeng Yunlong smiled and said, "I am a farmer in my forties. Why do I learn to wear jade when I have nothing to do? It's not convenient to go down the fields and go down the fields. This must be quite expensive. If it falls off accidentally, it would be a pity. I will not wear it anymore."
Zeng Shuai said, "Dad, you smoke too much and you always cough. Wearing this jade Guanyin on your chest is beneficial to your lung health. You should wear it! Who said that you can't wear jade when you go down the field? Besides, this rope is strong and will not fall off!"
After Zeng Shuai's repeated persuasion, the two elders finally put on their own jade jewelry. After all, this is the son's wish. (To be continued. Please search for Piaotianwen, the novel is better and faster!)
