Chapter 188 Incident(1/2)
, thousands of book fans were online at the same time. After drinking tea upstairs, they went downstairs to eat. The old man was helped by Yang Jingxing to sit down and said to his granddaughter: "Mengmeng, sit opposite."
Tao Meng hesitated for a moment and obeyed. The old man then said to Yang Jingxing, who was preparing to accompany him: "You also come over, come over, let me take a look."
Yang Jingxing said, "Thank you, grandma." He went to sit down next to the indifferent Tao Meng.
The old man smiled kindly and looked at me for a while, then reminded: "Xiao Yang, ask Mengmeng what she likes to eat."
Yang Jingxing said: "I know better."
Tao Meng looked at Yang Jingxing and reminded: "Ask grandma."
The old man said: "Leave me alone, I can't eat a little... I'll have to measure it later."
Yang Jingxing said: "You are in such good shape, it doesn't matter if you eat more."
The three of them discussed what to order. Tao Meng, like her grandma, liked some delicate and beautiful light vegetarian dishes. Yang Jingxing also ordered a very meaty dish for herself under the insistence of her grandma and Tao Meng's impatience.
The conversation continued, and the topic changed to food. The old man recalled that decades ago, hairy crabs and Songjiang seabass were used by families without food to satisfy their hunger, but bird's nests and abalones were still good things. But the quality of bird's nests at that time was very poor.
Very good, it’s hard to find now. Yang Jingxing was very happy to hear it.
After eating, Yang Jingxing brought food to Tao Meng. Tao Meng looked at her grandma and didn't want to go against the old man's smile, so she reluctantly accepted it.
Although the process was quite long, the old man basically had nothing to do and spent most of the time looking at the two young people. Yang Jingxing's gentleness towards Tao Meng was appropriate, and Tao Meng's coldness was not excessive.
The old man was also concerned about how Yang Jingxing eats at school and whether he has many friends: "...Where are the girl friends?"
Yang Jingxing smiled: "Some."
The old man said: "Mengmeng's grandpa was very dashing when he was young, and all the students in the girls' school knew him."
Yang Jingxing smiled: "I'm not as good as grandpa."
The old man chuckled: "I feel very unhappy sometimes."
Yang Jingxing guessed: "Grandpa must be unhappy sometimes, right?"
The old man said: "Yes, I had a bad temper when I was young."
Tao Meng explained: "Grandma, he means that you are also welcome."
The old man was very happy: "No, no, no, we have a very good relationship."
Yang Jingxing said: "Let's take tea instead of wine to toast the relationship between you and grandpa."
The old man thanked him happily. Tao Meng originally wanted to criticize but was roped in.
After the meal, Yang Jingxing paid the bill, and neither his grandfather nor the grandson had any objections. After a break, he went to find a tailor. The old man was helped into the car by Yang Jingxing, and his steps became more energetic.
Unlike the custom-made shop that Xiao Shuxia wanted to take her son to, which was just downstairs from where she was eating, the tailor that Tao Meng's grandma liked was still far away. Yang Jingxing drove the car into an old street under Tao Meng's navigation and parked at
In front of an inconspicuous clothing store.
The decoration of the store is quite good, but there are only some clothes such as cheongsam and Tang suit hanging inside. The people who look after the store are a couple in their thirties. They are watching a movie in front of the computer. When they see the old man being supported by Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng, they hurriedly
Stand up to welcome. The man said that the old man's complexion is getting better and better, and the woman praised Tao Meng: "Miss Tao is getting more and more beautiful."
In a show of force, the man almost bowed to Yang Jingxing: "Sir, what do you call me?"
Grandma Tao Meng introduced with a smile: "Miss's friend, Yang Jingxing, Xiao Yang."
The couple did not object to such a feudal and clichéd title, and the man even shook hands with Yang Jingxing: "Mr. Yang, it's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me."
Tao Meng and Yang Jingxing looked at each other knowingly.
The tailor soon came out to welcome his regular customers. He was a short, thin old man in his fifties or sixties. His hair was still black and slicked back. He politely welcomed the customer into the back room. His son and daughter-in-law watched and poured tea.
.
The old man praised Yang Jingxing's craftsmanship and said that "Tailor Wang" was an old shop and that a generation ago he had been tailoring clothes for ladies in Shanghai.
Seeing that Yang Jingxing didn't understand much, the tailor's son attracted him with the words of the younger generation, that is, the cheongsams worn by the stars in that movie were made here, and there were photos to prove it.
Yang Jingxing asked Tao Meng: "Have you ever worn it?"
Tao Meng shook her head decisively: "I don't like it."
Let’s chat for a moment. It turns out that Grandma Tao Meng made clothes for her seventy-fifth birthday. The old tailor said that seventy-five is a big birthday, and if you want to have a special occasion, you must prepare at least four or five sets of clothes. Even if you only have
After a few months, he was still able to fight his way out.
After starting to take measurements, Yang Jingxing and Tao Meng continued to stay by the old man's side. I had to admire the woman's perseverance in this regard. The old lady stood for ten consecutive minutes without taking a break. Then she had to choose fabrics, which took even longer.
It was already three o'clock when he was sent out from the tailor shop. The old man forgot that he said he would go home early and wanted to have afternoon tea again. Yang Jingxing kept Tao Meng's request in mind and did not let the old man's laughter stop for five minutes.
Above. The old man not only drank tea, but also ate some snacks.
It was almost four o'clock when Tao Meng received a call from her father. She was not very happy: "...Go home...ask grandma yourself!"
The old man took the phone and said kindly: "Qinghui... I said... no, Xiao Yang will give it to us."
Yang Jingxing sent his grandfather and grandson home. The old man wanted to invite Yang Jingxing to his house for dinner, but the guy refused and said he had an appointment. The old man was not very happy, so Tao Meng had to come forward to confirm that Yang Jingxing had indeed made an appointment with the teacher that evening.
Instead of going to the parking lot, Yang Jingxing helped the old man to the elevator. As soon as Tao Meng swiped his card, he heard his father's voice: "Tao Meng... you and grandma come up here and ask your classmates to wait for me below."
The old man had a better idea: "Go up and go up together."
Yang Jingxing said: "No, grandma, you can go up."
Tao Meng saw that Yang Jingxing didn't take a step and was holding back her grandma who wanted to get into the elevator. The old man stretched out his hand to pull Yang Jingxing: "Xiao Yang, listen to grandma."
Yang Jingxing did not dare to struggle and entered the elevator.
On the twelfth floor, we arrived soon. The elevator door opened. Two teenagers held an old man hostage and a middle-aged couple, as well as a nanny who was watching. Tao Qinghui may have just arrived home, and he was still wearing a tie. He had a
He is about 75 meters tall. Although he is in his forties, he has not put on weight. Tao Qinghui has a squarer face than Yang Jingxing, but he obviously gets less sun. There is no trace of beard on his chin, and his hair is thinner.
It has a bit of elegance.
Refined and refined, Tao Qinghui's expression and eyes when he saw Yang Jingxing didn't mean anything welcoming, but it wasn't indifferent either, it was closer to seriousness.
Yang Jingxing still smiled: "Hello, Mr. Tao."
Tao Qinghui lowered his head a little, and his wife smiled. His old mother was the happiest: "Go in... chat with Xiao Yang, and the whole afternoon was gone before you knew it."
Yang Jingxing waited for the old man to walk on the carpet, then let go of his hand and said, "Grandma, you rest, I'll leave first."
The old man refused and raised his hand: "Have a rest and sit for a while. Grandma wants to hear you play the piano."
Being looked at by his daughter, Tao Qinghui just turned slightly and stopped staring at Yang Jingxing, looking at his mother.
Yang Jingxing said to the old man: "If you have a chance, it's too late today."
Tao Qinghui glanced at his daughter and finally said, "I'll give it to you."
This is against the rules, Tao Meng demanded: "I'll give it away."
Tao Qinghui didn't hear it and reminded Yang Jingxing: "Let's go."
Grandma Tao Meng still refused, even a little harsh: "Xiao Yang, don't worry, stay with grandma."
Tao Meng seemed to have changed his mind and asked Yang Jingxing: "Is it too late?"
Tao Meng's stepmother spoke: "Is there something urgent?"
Yang Jingxing said: "I made an appointment with the teacher for dinner tonight. It's getting late."
Tao Qinghui ordered his daughter: "Sit with grandma." He looked at Yang Jingxing: "Let's go."
Yang Jingxing was still polite: "Goodbye, grandma."
Tao Meng watched Yang Jingxing and his father enter the elevator. When the door closed, her grandma was still saying, "Xiao Yang, come and stay with grandma when you have time."
The two men in the elevator were side by side. Yang Jingxing was upright. As soon as he lost weight, Yang Jingxing looked at Tao Qinghui and said, "Mr. Tao, do you have something to tell me?"
Apart from putting his left hand into his trouser pocket, Tao Qinghui didn't move much.
After the elevator door opened again, Yang Jingxing did not move. Tao Qinghui walked out first without ceremony, and then quickly turned around and ordered Yang Jingxing, who had just raised his feet: "Come out."
Yang Jingxing went out and the elevator door was closed. In order to keep a suitable distance from Tao Qinghui, he almost leaned against the elevator door.
Tao Qinghui wanted to look up to Yang Jingxing, but it was not that difficult, and his expression and aura had a lot of advantages, but he said kind words: "Thank you today."
Yang Jingxing said: "No need."
Tao Qinghui continued to look at Yang Jingxing, making a half fist with his right hand and raising his wrist: "Are you pursuing Tao Meng to be your girlfriend?"
Yang Jingxing nodded: "Yes."
Tao Qinghui was not surprised: "If you are just friends, I have no objection. If you are boyfriend and girlfriend, I have no objection."
Yang Jingxing was not surprised: "Can I ask the reason?"
Tao Qinghui said: "Don't think too much, it's not about family background, I just think you are not suitable for Tao Meng."
Yang Jingxing hesitated for a moment, lowered his gaze and then raised it again: "Can I ask the reason?"
Tao Qinghui said seriously: "You don't need to know, I'm telling you not to disturb Tao Meng in the future."
Yang Jingxing also said seriously: "I never thought about disturbing her."
Tao Qinghui frowned slightly and his eyes changed slightly: "You should understand what I said!"
Yang Jingxing lowered his head slightly and said in a low voice: "Mr. Tao, Tao Meng and I have known each other for almost four years. We were friends in high school and have kept in touch in college. I like her, so I pursue her regardless of family background.
