Yiyuan has peaches

Chapter 103

Tan's father froze for a moment, softened his expression, and said, "Okay, let's listen to him talk about his project later."

"It's not his project, it's our project." Tan Jiejie corrected.

When Song Xingnan's car drove into Ping County, Wu Gantang said, "What kind of gift is suitable for a woman's birthday?"

Song Xingnan opened his eyes and asked in surprise, "Whose birthday is it?"

"I... mother."

"Why didn't you say it earlier?" Song Xingnan asked anxiously. "It's the first time I came to your house, because I was in a hurry, I only got two bottles of red wine at home. If it's a birthday, it's too thin."

"That's great! It's the most appropriate way to give wine for birthdays."

"How old is your birthday, your mother?"

"sixty."

"Gantang, you are wrong! Why didn't you tell me about such a big event?" Song Xingnan said seriously.

"It's okay. Our family never pays much attention to these things. We never treat guests on birthdays. At most, we get together as a family." When Wu Gantang said the word "family", his tone was light, but his heart was very soft.This is the first time she brought her boyfriend home.I hope that the appearance of Song Xingnan can bridge the... gap in the past.

In fact, Wu Gantang knew that the real gap was in her heart.She was like a child who lost her temper at an adult and wanted to get close to him. She didn't know the attitude of the adult, so she wanted to borrow another person's hand to take her back.

Song Xingnan only knew what Wu Gantang said about the past, but he didn't know the aftershocks caused by that incident, the spiritual trauma it brought to the Wu family.Of course, with his high IQ and EQ, he can also guess a little bit. After all, he is in the same society and knows more or less the warmth and coldness of some people in the world.It's just that, without being involved in the matter, he didn't think so much.

Hearing what Wu Gantang said, Song Xingnan felt a little relieved.The wine he brought was a high-quality red wine given to him by a French friend, and it was considered a good gift.

Under Wu Gantang's command, Song Xingnan drove the car all the way into a small country road.

"The college where my parents worked used to be in a township. Later, some departments of the college moved to the city, and the personnel were diverted. My parents and the others chose to stay in the original school." After Wu Gantang finished speaking, he added: "They said that the city was too noisy. The countryside is quiet."

"The countryside is quiet, but the circle is too small." Song Xingnan said.

Wu Gantang was shocked.This is one of the reasons why she has been afraid to go home for many years.The circle is too small, turning around and turning around are those human accidents, and people with good deeds like to report their own happiness and others' worries.

However, her parents did not know these thoughts in her heart.Wu's father and Wu's mother just wanted to find a quiet place to spend their old age peacefully after experiencing the storms of life.And the college that they have worked for most of their lives has become the place where they return to their roots.

The car moved slowly along a straight road, and a beautiful picture unfolded in front of my eyes.The tall trees on both sides of the road hide the passing vehicles and pedestrians, making people feel that they are entering a peach blossom garden that people look forward to.Looking around, there is a lake outside the road. The lake in autumn is as quiet as a virgin, with rustling fine lines under the breeze.

"No wonder your parents don't want to leave, it really is a good place." Song Xingnan lowered the car window, letting the cool autumn wind blow on his face.

Seeing Song Xingnan enjoying himself, Wu Gantang's restless heart slowly calmed down.

The car stopped in front of a small courtyard.

"Just park the car at the gate of the courtyard. There are not many people coming and going here."

Song Xingnan parked the car, came down and took a look, heh, what a neat and tidy yard.Although the houses hidden in the green forest are bungalows, they have a kind of low-key aloofness.

"Such courtyards are rare nowadays." Song Xingnan secretly guessed in his heart that Wu Gantang's parents must have a high status, so he deliberately used the courtyard as a test.

"Well, there are two houses like this in the whole academy. One is the home of the 'founding father' old dean of the academy, and the other is our home. We are mainly attached to the honor of the academicians."

"Academician? Your father is an academician?!" Song Xingnan shouted.Academician can be said to be the highest honor in academia, and there are very few people in the country.Although he, Song Xingnan, was considered young and promising, he did not dare to expect to be crowned an academician.

"No, it's my mother."

"Wow, Madame Curie of China!" Song Xingnan blurted out.Respect arises spontaneously.

Wu Gantang smiled slightly: "It's not as serious as you said!" After speaking, Wu Gantang pushed open the concealed courtyard door.

In the yard, several rooms spread out in a shallow U-shape, and a winding path extends from the front of the courtyard door to the U-shaped rooms, like a branched tree, leading to the deep crown of the tree.Walking to the fork in the road, Wu Gantang suddenly stood still, and whispered to a window: "Dad."

Inside the window is a restaurant where a man is setting and inspecting the dishes.Hearing someone shouting outside, he raised his head and saw that it was Wu Gantang, his face was first surprised, then pleasantly surprised.

"Mama Gantang! Mama Gantang!" Father Wu's voice was filled with surprise and panic.

There is no sound.Father Wu shouted again.

"What's the matter, what are you talking about! The guests haven't come yet." A gray-haired woman came from the other side of the house with a pair of reading glasses in her hand. "I told you to call me when the guests come..."

The hand of the woman's hair rested on her head.She saw Wu Gantang and Song Xingnan standing in the sun.

"Mom, I'm back." Wu Gantang said softly.

The woman stood there for a while, then suddenly turned around and went back, ignoring Wu Gantang and the guests brought by Wu Gantang.

"Quick! Come in!" Wu Gantang's father turned out of the room and greeted warmly. "Your mother, just go and change clothes."

Song Xingnan could see clearly that Academician Wu's mother was wearing an elegant and simple casual cheongsam, with a deep purple shawl with large flowers on her shoulders. She was very decent attire for receiving guests and did not need to be changed.He vaguely guessed why Wu Gantang dared not go home alone.

"Go in." After Wu Gantang finished speaking, he lowered his head and entered the living room.

The living room of the academician's house is no different from that of other people's houses, with the same sofa and coffee table with TV.It's just that the TV is covered with a piece of checked cloth, which is not commonly used.

Father Wu welcomed his daughter and Song Xingnan in, opened the old-fashioned ceramic teacup on the coffee table, looked at it, and said, "The tea is brewed just right, I'm going to refill the water."

"Dad, this is Song Xingnan." Wu Gantang said generously.

"Hello, Uncle." Song Xingnan put the red wine in his hand on the coffee table, stretched out his hands, and shook Father Wu's hand warmly and elegantly. "Gantang forgot to tell me that today is my aunt's birthday, so I didn't prepare a gift in time, and only brought two bottles of red wine. It's really rude."

"You're welcome, you're welcome. Sit down, Xiao Song."
