Chapter 297: The world is like dust, the past is like smoke
At around seven o'clock in the evening, after leaving Shi Cunyuan's home and having dinner in a Western restaurant with a very romantic and elegant atmosphere, Qin Ke and Ning Qingyun were walking back to school.
There will be classes at Yingyuan High School tomorrow, and both of them will go back to school to stay overnight.
Ning Qingyun's eyes were full of longing for her boyfriend. They hadn't seen each other for more than six days during the National Day holiday. This was the first time the two hadn't seen each other for so long since they got together.
Although we had voice and video chats through WeChat during the holidays, how could we compare to being so close to each other?
So the girl with a single ponytail held hands with Qin Ke almost all the time, and she didn't want to let go until she got off the bus and walked to the school gate.
Qin Ke clenched his hand back and said with a smile: "Everyone in the school knows about our relationship, what are you afraid of?"
Ning Qingyun's face turned red, but she didn't break away anymore. She obediently let him hold her hand and walked into the campus.
The sky was already very dark, and while walking on the school road with warm yellow lights, the girl inadvertently lowered her head and saw the smooth white, crystal clear and beautiful jade bracelet on her right wrist.
This was a gift from Professor Shi Cunyuan, a gift specially left to her by Grandpa Qin Ke.
Ning Qingyun was a little uneasy and said: "Qin Xiaoke, I'm afraid the value of this jade bracelet is not as good as the one you gave me last time. Wouldn't it be bad if I just accept it like this?"
"What's wrong? This is the dowry my grandmother gave me when she was young. I've only seen it once. Usually my grandmother keeps it very well and never wears it. Now my grandpa has given it to you, which proves that he approves of it.
When we are together, you don't have to worry blindly, just accept it."
"But...but..."
"I really feel sorry for you. I asked my grandpa to videotape you and thank him in person? I have already met your mother, which means I have met my parents. It is your turn to meet the elders in my family." Qin Ke joked.
Unexpectedly, Ning Qingyun thought about it seriously, bit her red lips and nodded: "...Okay."
Qin Ke was surprised: "Really?"
Ning Qingyun took a deep breath, clenched her little fists, and seemed to be encouraging herself: "It's not good for me to accept such an expensive gift from him without thanking him in person. This is disrespectful to the elders, and I feel guilty."
Qin Ke couldn't help but smile softly. Ning Qingyun was indeed Ning Qingyun, the Ning Qingyun who worked seriously and had a strong sense of responsibility. He always had his own principles in dealing with others.
He didn't waste any time. After returning to the old art room, he directly took out his mobile phone and video chatted with his grandfather Shen Tieshan through WeChat.
While the video was connected, Ning Qingyun was so nervous that her face tightened, and her little hands subconsciously squeezed Qin Ke's hand tightly.
The video was quickly connected. Qin Ke said a few words briefly and pointed the camera at Ning Qingyun.
Ning Qingyun's little face turned from white to red, her voice was trembling as she greeted Shen Tieshan, and bowed again to thank her.
Shen Tieshan also rarely maintained a somewhat stiff smile throughout the whole process, and also told Qin Ke to take good care of Ning Qingyun.
After the video of about three minutes ended, Ning Qingyun breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the floor as if she had lost all strength. Qin Ke helped her back to her seat in a funny way.
"My grandpa is pretty nice, right? Don't be nervous."
Ning Qingyun was still a little nervous. She said anxiously: "Well... was my performance good just now? Did I smile too stiffly? No, did I laugh just now?"
Qin Ke smiled and rubbed her little face, softening her somewhat frozen expression: "Don't worry, you are perfect, gentle and generous, beautiful and lovely, unparalleled in the world!"
Being teased like this, Ning Qingyun couldn't help laughing, and glared at him with a blushing face: "How could you say it so exaggeratedly?"
However, after meeting Qin Ke's grandfather, Ning Qingyun did feel relieved. At least Qin Ke's grandfather seemed to support her and Qin Ke being together.
The girl gently touched the beautiful jade bracelet in her hand, remembered something, and asked curiously: "Speaking of it... why do you feel that your grandpa gave me all the good things in his family? The same goes for the jade ring before, and this jade bracelet too.
, wouldn’t it be more appropriate for such a precious thing to be left to his granddaughter? I remember you have a cousin, right?”
Qin Ke smiled and said: "I not only have a cousin, but also a cousin. But...my uncle is not my grandpa's biological son, he is adopted. My mother is his and grandma's only child. Do you understand?
"
Ning Qingyun blinked curiously: "Adoption?"
Qin Ke thought for a moment that it was time to let Ning Qingyun know some of the family's past, and then recalled:
"Although I don't know the specific situation, I know that my grandparents seemed unable to conceive when they were young. I went to several major hospitals for examinations, and they all said that the probability of successful pregnancy was less than one in 10,000, so
After discussing it, my grandparents gave up on having children and adoptively adopted the younger son of a relative of the same clan, who is now my uncle, whom you met last time."
"But five years later, my grandma unexpectedly found out that she was pregnant with my mother... This Coca-Cola spoiled them. I heard that my grandma suffered a lot when she gave birth to my mother, but after my mother was born, my grandparents still looked down upon her.
She is the apple of my eye."
"But, you know my grandpa's character. He wants to save face and doesn't like to talk. He keeps a straight face all day long. My grandma also has a strong character. She believes that a loving mother often loses her son, and strict control is the only way to love her. So they have treated me since I was a child.
My mother was very strict in her discipline and required me to be better than my uncle."
Qin Ke sighed lightly: "It's a pity that my mother is not good at studying. Oh, she is probably about the same as Xiaoke now, but my uncle's grades are quite good, so my mother was forced by the huge pressure to almost become autistic.
As a little girl, she was taciturn and introverted. However, my grandparents were too busy working to take care of her psychological problems. As a result, my mother became very rebellious when she reached adolescence. She dropped out of high school and ran away from home... My grandparents launched various campaigns.
I couldn't find any such relationship, but it was a big fuss at the time anyway."

When I was twenty-two years old and mentally mature, I went back home to ease the relationship with my grandparents, and later brought my dad home to meet my parents."
"Although my dad was a professional basketball player in the CBA at the time, he only had a high school education and his personality was a bit out of the ordinary... How could a scholarly family like my grandparents, who considered themselves intellectuals, like him? Naturally, there were various criticisms and disagreements.
My mother was so angry that she stole the household registration book and went to get a marriage certificate with my father. This also caused a falling out with the family again..."
Seeing that Ning Qingyun was entranced, Qin Ke smiled and rubbed her hair, and continued softly:
"Maybe because of our childhood experiences, my mother's way of educating me and Xiaoke was completely opposite to that of my grandparents."
"She never made any demands on me and Xiaoke in terms of study. She just hoped that we could be happy and grow up healthy. And as long as she could smile, she would keep smiling and never get angry or yell at me or Xiaoke.
My dad has the same mentality. He never puts pressure on us and rarely interferes with our choices. Xiaoke and I grew up with such a warm smile. So you don’t have to worry about my parents at all.
As long as I like a girl, they will definitely like her."
Ning Qingyun blushed and nodded.
"Let's talk about the opportunity for the easing of the relationship between my mother and my grandparents."
"When I was five or six years old, my mother fell ill and couldn't get out of bed. My father went out to participate in a basketball game and was not at home. So I went out to buy food with my two-year-old little shell on my back, and almost got into a car accident.
, it was my father who rushed home just after hearing the news and saved my little sister and me in time... However, my father also injured his ankle and was unable to play on the professional basketball court again."
