Chapter 104

Father Wu is an easy-going and kind person, sitting next to Song Xingnan, chatting with the two of them, nothing more than talking about strange things from all over the world, and it doesn't involve politics. He was full of quackery by keeping his mouth shut, and said some inappropriate things that would not be on the stage. He showed the courage of a man and denounced Fang Qiu, pointing out the country for the country.Song Xingnan knew that this was the real scholarly demeanor, they never said inappropriate words on inappropriate occasions, but once they were on proper occasions, their words had their own astonishing weight and level.He also saw from the crack in the door from the living room to the dining room, a middle-aged woman was coming in and out between the kitchen and the dining room, it should be the nanny who was making a birthday party and was busy.

Wu Gantang sat aside, didn't speak much, occasionally said a word or two, and only said a word or two briefly when Song Xingnan asked him what he needed to testify.Wu's father basically didn't talk to his daughter, but kept chatting and joking with Song Xingnan.

After about ten minutes, Mother Wu finally came out again.Still wearing the shawl, the cheongsam was replaced by a long skirt suit with better texture and more elegant temperament, which made the meaning of hospitality stronger.

"Mom." Seeing his mother coming out, Wu Gantang stood up involuntarily and shouted.Song Xingnan saw that Wu Gantang's posture was a little reserved.

Mother Wu's face was half a smile, and she nodded lightly, as a response to her daughter.

Father Wu hurriedly introduced Song Xingnan.Through the small talk just now, he already learned a lot of personal information about Song Xingnan.Mother Wu nodded and smiled gracefully, calling Song Xingnan to sit down.

Four people drink different drinks from the same transparent glass.Wu's father and Song Xingnan drank high-quality green tea, and Wu Gantang drank rose apple tea. As soon as Wu's mother came out, the nanny brought a cup of tea with small purple particles.Song Xingnan was curious and asked Wu Gantang what kind of treasure was soaked in it.

Wu Gantang said, "Would you like lavender to soothe the nerves?" She stared at the cup and asked instead of answering.

Wu's mother didn't speak, but Wu's father hurriedly said: "There is also cassia. Now that I am old, my eyesight is not very good. Sometimes when I wake up, my eyes are foggy and I can't see clearly. Cassia is good, and my eyesight is bright."

While chatting with Wu Gantang's parents, Song Xingnan secretly observed. He found that Wu's mother sitting next to Wu Gantang, like Wu's father, did not talk to Wu Gantang, and even rarely looked at her daughter.Song Xingnan thought, could it be that Wu Gantang is an adopted child?Otherwise, what kind of unhappiness would cause the family to not see each other for so long, and to meet each other at intervals.

Wu's parents and Song Xingnan were chatting awkwardly. Suddenly, the small iron gate outside the yard creaked, and Wu's parents and Wu's mother hurriedly stood up and looked around.

Song Xingnan thought, could there be any important guests today?Otherwise, the academicians would stand up and greet him so respectfully.For a family like theirs, there are high-profile friends, but the seats will not be full.

"Mr. Yang!" A woman's voice sounded from outside.The voice is not loud, slightly high-pitched, but very restrained, and it sounds like a very well-bred woman.

Wu's father and Wu's mother went out with smiles on their faces, and Wu Gantang and Song Xingnan also followed.It was an elderly couple who entered the hospital.The man's hair is already snow-white, he is about 70 years old, and his body is very straight.The woman's hair is also half white, her figure is a little rich, but her manners are elegant.As soon as the four of them met, the atmosphere became lively and lively.

"Who is Mr. Yang?" Song Xingnan quietly asked Wu Gantang from behind.

"My mother's surname is Yang."

Song Xingnan suddenly realized.It is completely normal for a scholar like Wu's mother to be called Mr.For a moment, reverence rose again.

"Happy birthday, happy birthday!" The woman who came in smiled, "I came back from England last month and ordered a brooch for you. I don't know if Mr. Yang likes it or not."

"I don't like the gift from Aunt Huang. Your aesthetics have always made me admire." Mother Wu laughed.

Wu Gantang and Song Xingnan stood under the porch of the living room, respectfully welcoming the guests.Wu Gantang said in a low voice: "They are the dean and his wife of another school that I told you just now. In the early years, the couple traveled abroad to study abroad, and later returned to China to build this school. Now, they One son and one daughter are abroad, and the two elders spend their old age here peacefully."

"Hey, isn't this Gan Tang! The longer it grows, the more beautiful it is!" Aunt Huang walked to the porch and shouted happily.Although her voice was louder than others, it didn't sound sharp and inconsistent at all.

"Hello, Aunt Huang. Hello, Uncle Su." Wu Gantang greeted him gently and decently, with an elegant smile on his face, standing upright with both feet, decent without the slightest bit of kitsch to the powerful.Song Xingnan thought of Wu Gantang's decent performance in receiving the mayor of Mishi who came suddenly at the opening ceremony of the training project, and sighed in his heart, it turned out that Gantang was born in such a family, no wonder he was so easy to climb into the Daya Hall.

The old dean and his wife came at just the right time, and after entering the room for a while, Wu Gantang introduced Song Xingnan to Uncle Su and Aunt Huang, and the nanny came in and asked if we could have dinner.So Wu Gantang stood up and let Uncle Su and his parents sit down.

Song Xingnan stood beside Wu Gantang, and whispered, "Are there any other guests?"

Wu Gantang said with a slight smile: "I told you that our family is not happy, so we made a big fuss."

"There's really nothing to do." Song Xingnan stuck out his tongue, such an elegant seat was too quiet.With this in mind, he followed Wu Gantang to the restaurant and took a seat.

The nanny asked what wine to drink again.Father Wu said, "Just now Xiao Song brought two bottles of French red wine, how about we just drink them?"

This is the best acknowledgment of the giver's gift.Song Xingnan Boli's apology disappeared, replaced by calm and comfortable.

After clinking glasses, everyone ate some food. Aunt Huang and Uncle Su warmly and gracefully praised the nanny Cai's cooking skills.At this time, Aunt Huang proposed to drink alcohol.

"I remember when Old Su was sixty, the flying flower order was performed during the banquet, and everyone was very happy. It's been almost ten years, and today we will borrow Mr. Yang's good life and Xiao Song's good wine to do it again, okay ?"

"What we drink is foreign wine, and what we follow are Chinese wine orders. It's a combination of Chinese and Western wines, which is great!" Mother Wu echoed.

Song Xingnan kept a smile on his face, but his heart tightened.Although he studied liberal arts, he didn't like reciting ancient poems since he was a child.And this flying flower order is to solve the dragon with the central character and verse, and it's nothing if you can't get a drink, but today it's the first time I went to Gantang's house, and I lost my position because of my lack of knowledge, which makes people depressed.Moreover, from entering the house till now, Mother Wu didn't seem to like him very much, and she hardly spoke to him.Could it be that Mother Wu's vision is too high and she doesn't like herself?As an academician, it is very possible that she has a higher vision.If she took advantage of the drinking order to embarrass herself, wouldn't she be showing embarrassment?It's really like this, should I retreat in spite of difficulties or rise up in spite of difficulties...
