Chapter 53 Guest(2/2)
Tao Meng said: "A bit...what about you?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I'm fine."
The old man suggested: "Xiao Yang, you can play the piano."
Yang Jingxing was happy: "What do you want to hear?"
The old man said: "Play whatever you want."
Yang Jingxing got up and walked to the piano and sat down. Tao Meng also helped her grandma to follow. Yang Jingxing even pretended: "Let me think about it and play something she doesn't know."
Tao Meng said: "Don't think you are so great."
Yang Jingxing thought about it for two minutes before starting to play. It sounded like a very famous folk song, but Tao Meng couldn't name it, so she could only say: "I must have heard it before, but I can't remember the name."
The old man became excited and wanted to applaud with trembling hands: "Okay, Zhou Xuan."
Tao Meng couldn't remember who Zhou Xuan was, but her grandma was so excited that she burst into tears. She was shaking her head and moving her lips as if she wanted to sing along.
Yang Jingxing encouraged: "Grandma, you sing."
The old man was very sorry: "I am old and can't remember the words."
Yang Jingxing played for three or four minutes, and finally ended with a modern ending, looking at Tao Meng proudly.
Tao Meng could only say: "I must have heard of it!"
The old man applauded, still excited: "You've seen the angels on the street, those who work in circles."
I don’t know if Tao Meng remembered it, but she said: "Yes, yes!"
The old man was not satisfied and asked: "You play it again, play it again, and I will sing it."
So Yang Jingxing played again and looked at the old man preparing to remind him. Fortunately, the old man knew music. After entering the melody, he started singing softly: "The end of the world..." There were also many places where he couldn't remember the words, but the old man hummed along.
.
This time it was Yang Jingxing who applauded the old man. The old man was very happy: "I didn't expect you to do this... I really like Zhou Xuan!"
Next, Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng listened to the old man telling stories about chasing stars in his time. The old man seemed to have really returned to his girlhood, a little excited and a little sad.
Yang Jingxing flattered her: "Although that era was not peaceful, there were many artistic achievements that made it possible for a grandma like you to have a granddaughter like Tao Meng. She must have received a lot of influence from you."
The old man responded: "I didn't expect that Mengmeng could meet a friend like you... In fact, my family sent her to your school just to let her have more exposure to people and things at all levels of society, and not to be too pampered."
Yang Jingxing said: "She has always been strict with herself, and her education at home is very successful."
The old man looked at his granddaughter: "Mengmeng, please talk to Xiao Yang more."
Tao Meng was arrogant: "There's nothing to say."
The old man said: "I'll go to the kitchen and have a look."
Yang Jingxing said quickly: "Grandma, please don't go, I'm afraid of her."
The old man chuckled: "You guys chat, dinner is about to begin."
After the old man left, Tao Meng and Yang Jingxing stared at each other for a few seconds. Tao Meng said first, "You came prepared?"
Yang Jingxing felt aggrieved: "How did I know I could come to your house for dinner?"
Tao Meng shrank one foot onto the sofa: "Anyway, you are trying to please grandma."
Yang Jingxing said: "It's your grandma who I'm trying to please, and it's like I owe you a few ounces of money."
Tao Meng twisted her body to get more comfortable and said, "You don't care anyway."
Yang Jingxing threatened: "I'm leaving!"
Tao Meng tilted her head and said, "Let's go!"
Yang Jingxing stood up. Tao Meng bowed her body, leaned forward, and glared at Yang Jingxing fiercely.
Yang Jingxing was frightened and said, "I'm going to wash my hands."
Tao Meng leaned back again and said without looking at Yang Jingxing: "You can take off your tie and get ready to eat."
Dinner started at seven o'clock, and Tao Meng and Yang Jingxing came face to face. The nanny first introduced the four dishes and two soups, one sweet and the other salty. Yang Jingxing liked it very much: "You look so appetizing, why are you so thin?"
Tao Meng said: "I can't eat without you."
When the nanny wasn't there, Yang Jingxing said, "Grandma, let me serve you some soup."
The old man smiled: "No, you can eat it by yourself, just like at home."
Yang Jingxing said: "Then I want it even more."
The old man asked: "How old is your grandma?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I am over sixty and the old man lives with my uncle. I have never been filial to him."
The old man said: "Be more filial. When the old man gets older, he likes to see his children and grandchildren. If you are so successful, your grandparents will be proud of you."
Yang Jingxing said: "You must be more proud. May you be blessed and live longer. Tao Meng, keep up the good work."
Tao Meng taught: "Be quiet while eating."
The old man disagreed: "It's better to talk more and eat slowly for better digestion."
The old man and Tao Meng both ate slowly, so Yang Jingxing controlled his speed and ate the meal for nearly an hour. After chatting with the old man for a while, Yang Jingxing was ready to leave.
The old man was quite reluctant to leave: "Come here often when you have time, grandma likes you."
Yang Jingxing was happy: "Thank you, grandma."
Tao Meng wanted to see Yang Jingxing off, otherwise his car wouldn't be able to drive out without the card. The two of them took the elevator downstairs. Tao Meng handed the small bag with socks to Yang Jingxing and said, "What about Wednesday?"
Yang Jingxing said, "Let's have a meal together."
Tao Meng asked: "Have you discussed it yet?"
Yang Jingxing said: "No, try to give it a surprise."
Tao Meng nodded and asked, "Are there many people?"
Yang Jingxing was unsure: "It won't be too many, just a few people. We'll know when the time comes."
Tao Meng asked again: "Why are you surprised? Maybe she has made an appointment with someone else."
Yang Jingxing said: "Then we will come uninvited."
Tao Meng refused: "I'm not very familiar with her."
Yang Jingxing said: "Even people you don't know can still say happy birthday."
Tao Meng said: "You have no class on Wednesday afternoon. Come pick me up and bring me to your home."
Yang Jingxing agreed: "Okay... don't dress up too beautifully and steal the limelight from the birthday girl."
Tao Meng was angry: "This is my right, right? It's not marriage! You are so lenient!"
Yang Jingxing said: "If there are other boys, I am not responsible for your safety."
Tao Meng shouted: "Do I still have to cover my face?"
Yang Jingxing said: "That won't work, you have to cover up your figure...don't worry, it's not your fault that you are beautiful."
Tao Meng hummed: "Do I have to do this for every one of your friends' birthdays?"
Yang Jingxing said: "Next time it will be you. No matter how beautiful or well-dressed you are, you can scare me to death."
Tao Meng said disdainfully: "Who knows when."
Yang Jingxing said: "I don't know... I don't remember. I really don't remember. I really don't remember. Don't tell me either."
Tao Meng turned her face and smiled, and her eyes met with Yang Jingxing's in the elevator mirror. Yang Jingxing laughed: "I saw it." Tao Meng turned to the other direction with force.
After the car drove out of the parking lot, Tao Meng said, "I'm going back then. Please be careful on the road."
