Chapter 302: [See In-laws](2/3)
It was the first time that the four old men knew that the seven-year-old grandson of their family could speak fluent English. How old is this, it is simply surprising.
In fact, it is not just Xie Yang, but Xiao Mili and Xiao Ningleen will also say it. Sometimes in order to enlighten children's language talents, Xie Zheng and his wife will talk in English at home. This is not about advocating foreigners, but now English is an important course in their studies. How can they not learn? If you fail the exam, you should cry.
Knowledge may not be useful after you learn it, but you always have to do a lot of useless work in your life, and it is difficult to guarantee that you will not use it in this life. When you really want to use it, it may be too late.
Justin seemed to like Little Lemon very much. He was sitting on the sofa holding Little Lemon, holding a plate of brightly washed strawberries in his hand. The two of them were feeding each other one by one. He didn't know what to say. Anyway, seeing the cute smile of this beautiful little girl, I felt that even the floating feeling of being in a foreign country was dispelled.
There was Xiaomi Li sitting next to him. He knew that the two children were twins. He observed the two children with his eyes and found that occasionally the two children did things very consistently, such as sneezing!
Xu Jianjun and his wife also knew that the Wells family was the duke of Britain and was conferred by the queen. The family's conditions were very good. Speaking of which, the Xu family was not comparable to that of the Xu family, but the Xu family was not bad either.
Xie Zheng came in from outside at this time and greeted everyone, "Prepare for dinner."
Then Xu Rui pulled Joey out, and there was a pool at the kitchen door, "My sister is much better than me in cooking, you can eat more tonight."
"I can." Xu Rui's parents were very kind, which made Joey, who was originally worried about not being liked. Moreover, the Xu family was really beautiful. There were hand-broken veranda everywhere. There were big red lanterns hanging under the corridor, which reflected the veranda very simple. The pillars of the veranda were carved with patterns. After she came in, she looked at each pillar and found that none of the patterns on the pillars were the same. Although the villa of the Wells family was also beautiful, she felt that this house was more attractive to her than her own villa.
After dinner, I wanted Xu Rui to take her around the courtyard.
In the spacious and antique living room, everyone sat around the rotating dining table, and plates of dishes with full colors, aroma and flavor were served, with all kinds of meat, vegetables, cold dishes and desserts before meals. Eighteen dishes were made, and tonight's dishes were carefully prepared by Xu Ning. Each serving was like a work of art for these two foreigners.
The Xu family’s dining table is customized separately. The rotating dining table is not round, but oval. There are many children at home, so Xu Jianjun directly found someone to customize such a table. Now, these people are very loose when sitting down, so it’s okay to add three or five people.
Joey and Justin looked at the dishes in front of him. Joey often could eat what Xu Rui made, but Justin hadn't eaten for several months. Now, seeing this large table full of food, his stomach began to signal hunger.
Xu Rui knew Justin quite well and smiled and said, "You can eat anything you want. I hope you don't get fat when you return home."
"I would like to be ten pounds. I really like Chinese food too much." Justin suddenly saw a pottery jar and turned his head to ask Xu Rui beside him, "Is it Buddha jumping over the wall?"
Xu Rui nodded, "Yes, the authentic Buddha Jumps Over the Wall made by my sister is many times better than what I did."
"Then I must try it!" Of course, I also have to drink wine. Ningrui Winery's red wine felt that it was so luxurious that he wanted to cry.
Qin Xuejuan also studied abroad decades ago. Although the time was short, she still knew some foreign customs. She had never picked up food for Joey, and foreigners would not like this.
Besides, my family will not pick up food for anyone, and I can’t eat whatever I want. The children at home are taken care of by Xie Zheng and his wife. They are obedient and sensible. The three children at the dinner table never make any complaints.
Moreover, their three children are not picky about food, which is also due to the good food of their own.
Qin Xuejuan saw two foreign children without any restraint at the dinner table, and her smile on her face became deeper and deeper. Especially when she heard that they praised their own meals, she felt that these two children would like to see them.
I used to think that this little girl is young and may not be able to get married with her son. Besides, Western people's ideas are generally open, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no incongruous things before marriage. It is not that she criticizes others, but that is the difference between Chinese and Western cultures.
But now it seems that having such a beautiful blond and blue-eyed daughter-in-law is also a happy thing.
Although there are some restrictions on officials and women in China, their family did not do anything bad. His son did not immigrate, but married a foreign wife, which can be regarded as enhancing the friendship between the two countries.
As for immigration, Qin Xuejuan would never agree. Now the country is developing rapidly and the policies have many preferential policies. She is crazy and will only make the immigration arrangement. In fact, many of the generations of Qin Xuejuan are admired and fascinated by foreigners, and there are also many children in this generation. However, Qin Xuejuan has experienced an era of not having enough food and not being warm in clothing. Now she has built a country and has eaten well and dressed well. This is a kind of progress of the country. Why should she envy foreign countries?
After dinner, Xu Rui took Joey and Justin around the yard. All the lanterns on both sides of the veranda were lit tonight. The lanterns were not filled with candles, but light bulbs. There were also floor lamps in the courtyard, which were soft but could illuminate every corner of the courtyard.
The Xu family was built with two courtyards connected to each other, with a living area of about four or five hundred square meters. The front yard is a two-story structure and the back yard is a three-story structure. It really has a living area of more than two thousand square meters. The courtyard is also about one thousand square meters. In addition to the location occupied by the veranda, there are green lawns, small gardens, lotus ponds, bamboo forests, and a medicine garden opened separately by the old man. The layout is carefully arranged by the designer and is magnificent.
Especially in June, all flowers begin to enter the season of gradually blooming, and the Xu family's courtyard looks even more like a fairyland under the hazy night.
Justin and his sister sat in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, sitting on the edge and watching the lotus pond. The lotus flowers have not yet fully bloomed, but they have also bloomed a little, probably in July.
"I want to apologize to you. When I was at the door before, I thought your house was actually very ordinary." Justin suddenly said seriously.
Xu Rui was slightly stunned, and then smiled and said, "It's okay, have you changed your mind now?"
"Yes, your home is very, very beautiful." Justin gave a thumbs up.
Joey lowered the bead curtain of the lake center pavilion, lay on the railing, tucked his hand at the bead curtain, and admired the construction of the lake center pavilion.
"Xu Rui, I really like this place very much." Joey turned his head, his eyes shining brightly under the lights in the pavilion.
"We can come back to stay for a while every summer!" Xu Rui smiled and said, "Now I'll play at home for a few days. I'll take you to Yunwu Mountain to see tomorrow. You can live anywhere you want in the future."
There is a sound of insects chirping in the courtyard. If you listen carefully, the most common sound of crickets is the chirping.
After strolling around the yard, Xu Rui led them to the room where they were resting in the evening.
His room is naturally on the first floor, and Justin's room is arranged on the third floor guest room.
The third floor is rarely used in their homes. After all, there are many rooms in the courtyards that enter the front and back, and the family has a limited population. Even if Qin Zhao's cousin's family comes over, the third floor of the backyard is almost useless, but the decoration is still very exquisite.
He first brought Joey to her room, right opposite Xu Rui. When he pushed open the door, Xu Rui was a little broken.
The room was actually covered with a bright red quilt. The color was ambiguous, but it looked too bright.
But Joey likes it. The quilt cover is made of silk. It feels extremely silky but has a faint coolness. You can still see the golden light of the embroidery under the light.
Their beds are all very large, two meters standard, and the furniture is fashionable and retro. There is also a beauty couch next to the window. The light wiped from the floor can be seen. This Chinese-style furniture instantly captured the Justin brother and sister.
Joey walked to the bed, jumped up and put it on the bed, and his whole body was soft and bumped for two days.
"Oh my god, this is really too, so beautiful. Xu Rui, I am really happy and like it very much." There was a faint woody fragrance in the room, which could calm down and maintain a good sleep.
Xu Rui was in a complicated mood. I wonder if his room would be like this by his own mother?
The room prepared for Justin is a little simpler, the cover is lake blue, Justin is very satisfied. He opened the wooden sliding door of the balcony, and there was an open balcony outside. The balcony was very clean and there was nothing, but the view was particularly good.
Especially when standing on the balcony on the third floor, looking down at the entire courtyard, you will find that the view is even more beautiful.
He also wanted to live here forever, and he envied Joey.
That night, Xie Zheng's family also lived here. When they talked about Xu Rui's girlfriend, they both thought it was very good and they were satisfied.
After all, I was just a new contact, so I need to observe my character more. However, this little girl is really very beautiful and is ranked among foreigners.
The next morning, Xie Zheng went to work after breakfast, and Xu Ning also wanted to send his son to school and then to work. As for Xu Rui and the other three, they had not gotten up yet because of the jet lag, and their family would not disturb them.
Before leaving in the morning, Xie Yang did not forget what he promised Chen Fang yesterday and brought a lot of fresh fruits from home.
"Mom, will that be my aunt?" Xie Yang asked on the backrest of the passenger seat.
Xu Ning shook his head, "I don't know either, you can ask your uncle."
"She looks as beautiful as our English teacher." Xie Yang said.
"You speak very well in English, mom is proud of you."
Xie Yang was praised, and his eyes were filled with a little excitement of being approved, "I will learn better."
"Mom believes in you, my son is the best."
The first-grade primary school students are about to take the final exam. Although Xie Yang is studying very well, he still has made a study plan for himself. On weekends, he will use it to do homework and read books one day, and on the other day he will follow his father to the shooting range. The plan he has made for himself has never been broken. Unless his father has not had a rest, he will make a new plan for himself alone.
At the school gate, Xie Yang waved goodbye to his mother, carrying a small schoolbag and two large bags of fruit in both hands, and went to the school.
Xu Ning watched his son disappear, then started the car and left.
As a school director, Xu Ning rarely intervened and gave it full power to the principal. In recent years, the school's reputation has become increasingly high because its admission rate is too awesome. Many famous universities in China have their students and many foreign universities are also many.
Every year, one-quarter of the senior high school students are admitted to foreign universities, one-half is admitted to top domestic universities, and the remaining are ordinary universities, with an admission rate of up to 90%. Last year, they even won several honorary awards awarded by the Ministry of Education.
Xu Rui brought Justin and his sister to Yunwu Mountain in the morning. He saw that there was such a villa in the city among the mountains and green mountains. He could feel the freshness of nature when he went out. Joey also liked it very much. At noon, he had lunch at the leisure club on the top of the mountain and led them to a hot spring.
If you soak in hot springs in winter, it is really a supreme enjoyment. Now in June, the weather is a little hot, and the soaking time is very short, but it is also comfortable all over.
Justin decided that after his sister and Xu Rui got married, he must come over in the winter and experience the charm of this hot spring.
After playing here for three days, I consumed almost ten films and took nearly four hundred photos before I left the imperial capital and returned to the UK with satisfaction.
He took photos of the Xu family, and there were many other beautiful things on the side of Yunwu Mountain, as well as beautiful things taken in the restaurant of Ningrui Hotel, and a lot of them were taken in the Forbidden City. I believe that when I go back, I will be able to enjoy my parents' pleasure.
After seeing Justin off, the two of them registered at two schools. Xu Rui went to Emperor University. Because Joey studied the Department of Architecture, he accompanied Joey to Huaqing University. The department of architecture here is really great. Emperor University is naturally good, but in comparison, it is still slightly weaker than that of Huaqing.
Although he couldn't be in the same school with Xu Rui, Joey was not disappointed. Every afternoon, Xu Rui could still come here to pick her up and go home. The time at school was used to study, and Joey was very clear about this.
The architecture department is Joey's ideal and goal, and it does not conflict with love.
When Huaqing saw Joey's information, he agreed easily. After all, this was a very outstanding talent, and Xu Rui was accompanied by her. Di Da and Huaqing were so impressed by Xu Rui. They also fought for this student with Di Da, but they went to Harvard.
Now that Joey is Xu Rui's girlfriend, he also knows indirectly that Xu Rui has no intention of changing his nationality, Joey is likely to become a Chinese wife in the future and must be well trained.
Although they are only studying here for a month, the collision of Chinese and Western architectural styles will surely be very exciting.
At this time, the students in Huaqing had not yet had a holiday. For the students in the Department of Architecture, there were almost more men and fewer women. At this time, such a beautiful blonde girl suddenly appeared, which caused a lot of sensation.
Especially when I learned that the other party was a school student in the Department of Architecture at MIT, I came to Huaqing because of my summer study tour.
Of course, the pride is irrepressible. Huaqing is also a famous international university. Otherwise, why would you come back to our Huaqing Architecture Department?
Yes, there are obviously many world-class universities in the United States, how can you travel across the ocean to our China?
Afterwards, I learned through communication that he was following his boyfriend, who was also the top scorer in the national college entrance examination in Xu Rui a few years ago and a top student at Harvard.
Although I was disappointed that this beautiful blonde girl had a boyfriend, I thought that such a beautiful girl would become their Chinese daughter-in-law, which was also very good.
After returning to China, Justin printed all the photos and shared this trip to China with his family.
When he saw the house of Xu Rui, because of Justin's shooting technique, the Duke and Duchess of Wells kept exclaiming praise.
For them, this spacious and retro Chinese-style house is really ingenious. It is very beautiful both during the day and at night, and it is even more dreamy at dusk.
The two houses I bought for 100,000 yuan now have a growth rate of tens of millions, and in a few years it will cost more than hundreds of millions.
This time, Qin Xuejuan brought back some specialties, such as fruits at home, and also brought a box of red wine. She also asked him to give each of the Wells and his wife a bracelet of golden nanmu. This was made of golden nanmu in her daughter's space. A golden nanmu caused a sensation when it appeared. Many people bought it at a high price, but were rejected by Qin Xuejuan. She used this golden nanmu to create a complete set of study supplies for the old man. The remaining scraps made more than a dozen bracelets. Many people called Qin Xuejuan to buy such a bracelet. After all, this was a bracelet made of golden nanmu that had been nearly a thousand years old, and it was definitely worthless.
When Justin gave the two boxes to his parents, the moment the box was opened, a refreshing fragrance came out, and the tentacles had a faint coolness, which was very comfortable. The color of the bracelet was purple-gold, showing its nobility.
The couple liked it very much. After asking their son, they learned that it was made of a thousand-year-old golden nanmu. They asked through their friends. When they learned about the value of the wood, they were also very shocked. They did not expect that a piece of wood would be so expensive.
