Chapter 122 Reunion (Monthly Pass)

ps: The new January begins, please give me a monthly ticket

Yanjing finally ushered in the first snow at the end of November. Although it was not heavy, it really announced the arrival of winter. Chen Fang and Qin Mohan took Shen Qingyi and others from Shanghai from the high-speed rail station to their homes.

"Yanjing is still much colder than Shanghai."

A gust of cold wind blew, and Shen Qingyi, who had just gotten out of the car, couldn't help but tremble.

"Yes, master, the lowest temperature in Yanjing has been minus four or five degrees below zero in the past two days." Chen Lan and Li Ziqing helped Shen Qingyi get things down while explaining to her.

"Mom, it's just snowing these two days. When the sun comes out, the temperature will rise." Chen Fang glared at Chen Lan and explained to her mother. Although she knew that this was self-deception, she was just a kind lie to Shen Qingyi, who had lived in Yanjing for many years. Chen Fang still hoped to give her mother some determination, so she could save her from repeating it.

Chen Lan was stunned by Chen Fang. When she saw Qin Mohan walking over to pick Shen Qingyi, she felt that she had said the wrong thing and smiled embarrassedly at Chen Fang.

"Haha." Shen Qingyi just smiled for a moment and didn't say anything, letting Qin Mohan enter the yard with his arm. This son has been a mature boy since he was a child, with a delicate mind, and now he is more understanding.

Entering the yard, Shen Qingyi waved to the Mocha who had just been circling her. When it came, she squatted down and rubbed it on its head a few times.

"Haha, you still remember me! From now on, I will live here and take you for a walk every day."

Mocha was frightened by Shen Qingyi's words and took a walk every day. How could Mocha gain weight? He just wanted to leave her palm but was caught by Chen Fang.

Chen Fang and Qin Mohan looked at each other excitedly, and then said to Shen Qingyi: "Mom, I will leave it to you for mocha exercise in the future."

Qin Mohan followed and said, "Mom, thank you. If Mocha doesn't exercise for a while, he will be so fat that he can't walk. Chen Fang and I are a little busy, so I will release it."

"Okay, let's go into the house. It's still quite cold outside." Shen Qingyi asked Qin Mohan as she walked forward: "Mohan, when will your mother come to Yanjing?"

After thinking about it in Shanghai for a long time, Shen Qingyi decided to follow her son to Yanjing. After all, they had a month to hold a wedding. Although both children were interested, many things still needed to help them check, as a mother. In particular, they had to discuss with Xiao Nanrong. After all, the other party had more considerations to marry a daughter than the other party.

"My mother is coming around December 10th. Her performance has been completely over. Some of the work handed over to the troupe needs to be done, and she will truly retreat to the second line in the future." Qin Mohan sighed: "My father will have to wait for New Year's Day before he can come here. Although it is an art troupe, it also belongs to the army and has stricter management."

"Yes, your mother is about to reach fifty after the New Year, and we are almost old." Shen Qingyi and Qin Mohan sat on the sofa and couldn't help but say, "We will let go of our minds in the future and enjoy the joy of family."

"Mr. Chen, I was too talkative just now." Chen Lanzhe, who was in the yard, apologized to Chen Fang with embarrassment. He originally thought that Shen Qingyi was just here to help Chen Fang prepare for the wedding, but now it seems that the master is preparing for permanent residence in Yanjing.

"It's okay." Chen Fang waved his hand to Chen Lan and said, "I have to thank you again this time. You and Ziqing have worked hard with my mother all the way."

"Mr. Chen, you are polite." Chen Lan pulled Li Ziqing and said to Chen Fang: "I will take Ziqing to my place, so I won't disturb your family's reunion." Li Ziqing and Chen Fang were not too familiar with him, and they were a little restrained at him.

"Okay, I'll have to entertain her these days. You can take her to the company to check it out. It's almost the end of the year. There are many announcements from artists. With Ziqing helping you, it should be much easier."

"Okay, thank you Mr. Chen." Chen Lan took Li Ziqing to the main hall to say goodbye to Shen Qingyi. Qin Mohan made a statement and kept them for dinner, but the two refused.

Seeing that they were determined to leave, Qin Mohan asked them to wait a moment and went to the storage room to get a ham to them as a thank you gift to the two of them for Shen Qingyi's visit to Yanjing.

Shen Qingyi nodded as Qin Mohan's behavior. At first, Chen Fang and Qin Mohan were in love. Shen Qingyi thought that as long as someone could pull her son out of loneliness, she could accept this daughter-in-law. Later, as the two dated, Shen Qingyi became more and more satisfied with Qin Mohan. In addition to being beautiful, polite, and knowing how to advance and retreat, she was also reflected in her dealing with people.

Shen Qingyi knew that her son was lazy and lazy, and did not pay much attention to the details of human relationships and etiquette. Only people with distant relationships would he give gifts and thanks more solemnly. Generally, people around him or familiar people would give them items at will. As long as it is something Chen Fang thought was not bad, he would share it with people around him. Whether it is good wine or good tea, he would not be stingy as long as the other party liked it, but these were not thank-you gifts in relationships. Because in Shen Fang's perception, his own people do not need to be too polite at all times. If they are all polite, he would not know how to communicate with you.

Now that Qin Mohan helps him check for shortcomings and fill in the gaps, he will also make up for some of the etiquettes he ignored, and it is so natural and grand that Shen Qingyi admires it very much. As the status of Shen Fang continues to improve, there must be such a person beside him to help him deal with these things. He used to be his assistant Linda and Qian Bin, but now both of them can stand alone, and Qin Mohan, who is inseparable from him, slowly assumes this role.

"Aunt, aunt, we are here." Sisi and Jiajia shouted as soon as they entered the cross-yard after school, and there was a small tail behind them. Chen Fang heard the sound and greeted him.

Sisi and Jiajia bypassed Chen Fang who was standing at the gate of the moon and ran to the main hall. Evelyn greeted Chen Fang politely.

"Charles, Sisi said your mother is here?" Evelyn made rapid progress. She had only been more than a month and could master a lot of words. She was only mixed with English when she was a little anxious.

"Evelyn, you can say it slowly." Chen Fang squatted down, held her shoulder, and calmed her down: "It's Charles' mother here. You can call her grandma or her grandma."

"Can't you call her by her name?" Evelyn asked in surprise.

Chen Fang explained to her: "This is the habit of us Chinese. We generally don't call our elders' names, otherwise it will be impolite behavior. Generally, we will call our grandpa and grandma to the elderly."

"Oh, I heard Miss. Lu said that Dad's father is grandpa..."

“Very good!”

Chen Fang's praise made Evelyn feel a little proud. She said to Katherine who entered the yard with Chen Hui, "Mom, Charles praised me."

"Catherine, welcome." Chen Fang let go of Evelyn and asked her to go in to find Sisi and the others, stood up and smiled at her sister, and expressed her welcome to Catherine.

Catherine was still holding Evelyn's small schoolbag in her hand. It seemed that she had come directly from kindergarten: "Charles, don't disturb you. Evelyn heard that your mother came to Yanjing and would come with Sisi and Jiajia as soon as school was over."

"No trouble, you are welcome to visit us often." Chen Fang took them into the yard and felt a little embarrassed at Catherine: "Peter has been busy since he came to China, which has caused your family to be unable to reunite."

"It's okay," said Catherine. "Peter now comes back from Shanghai every week, and transportation in China is also very convenient, both airplanes and trains."

"It will improve in the past few days. The main reason is that there are several projects signed at this Internet conference, and he needs to be responsible for review." Chen Fang explained to Catherine: "The company has just opened and many departments are not yet perfect. I am asking them to recruit personnel now. In the future, Peter will only be responsible for the general direction."

Chen Fang greeted them into the room. Sisi and Jiajia surrounded Shen Qingyi and introduced their new friend Evelyn to her. Evelyn was impressed by Shen Qingyi's temperament. She looked at Shen Qingyi like a noble lady, shining with radiance. She didn't even have a trace of wrinkles on her skin. This is Charles' mother? This is the person who needs to be called grandma? Evelyn hesitated. In her original impression, the role of grandma should be old-fashioned. In the cold winter, she sat on a rocking chair and slowly shaking towards the fireplace. Oh, she also had to hold a kitten, just like a lazy kitten like a little orange.

"You sit down, I'll go see what Aunt Liu cooks for dinner." After Chen Jie introduced Catherine to Shen Qingyi, he said to the people in the room: "Catherine, Evelyn, have dinner at my house tonight. I'll make Chinese specialty food for you to eat."

The temptation of eating temporarily interrupted Evelyn's exploration of the role of grandma. She looked up at Chen Fang and said, "Charles, are there any delicious ducks?" If there is any delicious food in China that Evelyn never forgets, then it will be the roast duck.

Chen Fang looked embarrassed about Evelyn's request, but he stopped Catherine who wanted to blame Evelyn and proposed another solution: "Evelyn, there is no roast duck today. But for Chinese cuisine, duck can be made in many ways. How about we eat beer ducks that taste better?"

The food from China still makes the newly promoted foodie Evelyn more satisfied. She has learned to use chopsticks and picks up the food on the table more flexibly than her mother. She is not picky about food, and she can feast on both meat and vegetables, which allows Sisi and Jiajia, who are usually provocative, to learn a lot.

For Catherine, the shredded pork with a lotus leaf cake wrapped in a more suitable way for her taste. This kind of meal reminded her of the burrito and couldn't help asking Aunt Liu for making the recipe.

"Charles, thank you for your hospitality." At about eight o'clock, Catherine took her daughter to say goodbye: "The day after tomorrow is Thanksgiving. We are preparing to hold a dinner to sincerely invite you and your family to attend."

Thanksgiving, a very grand festival in the United States. Not only did Peter come back from Shanghai to celebrate the festival, but their eldest daughter Shashan, who is far away in the United States, will also fly back to celebrate the festival with her family. In addition to her own family, she will also invite people who are grateful to celebrate together. Chen Fang's family is among the invitations.

Chen Fang and Qin Mohan brought a bottle of red wine to Peter, and Chen Hui brought a top Xuanwei ham made from China as a Thanksgiving gift. Shen Qingyi, who came to the banquet, gave Catherine a set of skin care products prepared by her club. Last time I saw at home, she might not be very adapted to the dry climate of Yanjing, and her skin was a little dull.
