Chapter 419 Year of Reunion

The next day.

Xu Qingshan was wearing a mask, and was followed by Jiang Huanxi and Tong Tong. Lin Chenhua was also standing far away, smoking intermittently.

They waited patiently at the pick-up gate at the Capital Airport.

It’s just that Xu Qingshan wears a mask not because he is afraid of being recognized by passers-by, but because of the way he is dressed now.

"Why am I the only one wearing it? Didn't we agree that everyone would wear it together?"

Xu Qingshan's voice sounded a little muffled, he was indeed very depressed.

The two girls beside him were dressed neatly and appropriately, their off-white down jackets made them look not too bulky. However, Xu Qingshan was wearing a large flowered jacket and trousers, which covered his face, making him look extremely sexy.

Jiang Huanxi was looking at the airport entrance curiously. When she heard Xu Qingshan's words, she turned around and looked at him again, and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Oh, you've been asking all the way. We washed it yesterday and we have nothing to wear."

Tong Tong didn't say anything, but with a red face she quietly pulled the corner of Xu Qingshan's big flowered jacket.

Xu Qingshan sighed and turned to look at Tong Tong who was standing silently beside him.

"Tong Tong, you are also following your sister Xiaoxi's bad behavior."

"I do not have."

Tong Tong turned his head slightly and defended himself in a low voice.

"You have."

"I don't!"

"Hey, don't bully the little kid. Seriously, it was my idea! I just wanted to see you wearing a big flowered jacket!"

Jiang Huanxi pulled Xu Qingshan over and stopped him from oppressing Tong Tong. Although the person involved seemed to be enjoying it, she really couldn't understand why Tong Tong, who usually appeared so cool and dignified in front of outsiders, would be as shy as an idiot in front of Xu Qingshan.

“No bullying.”

Tong Tong blinked and said in a low voice.

"Actually, I think my brother looks really good in this outfit. My godparents will like it, and my uncles and aunts will definitely like it too."

The uncle and aunt Tong Tong mentioned were Jiang Huanxi's parents. This year, for the New Year, the two families simply got together and took a plane to Beijing to stay and celebrate the New Year with the children.

Jiang Dehua and Xu Xuejun now have more and more opportunities to interact with each other. Both of them work in the urban area, and Lin Yuehua and Lin Qingying, the old besties, now have more time to go out together on weekends.

Although Jiang Dehua was a little bit unacceptable at first, as time passed and the children developed well in Beijing, slowly, the old father had no objections.

This time, the two families came to the capital together because they had other things to do.

"Take a quick look at the time. Uncle and aunt should be here soon."

Xu Qingshan stopped fooling around with them and straightened his clothes. Even though he was wearing a floral jacket suit, he believed that he could look energetic.

The three of them stood in front of the glass guardrail and looked up. Jiang Huanxi was a little shorter, and the guardrail at the airport entrance was high, so she stood on tiptoe and hung on the guardrail to look inside.

Xu Qingshan was wearing a bulky peony red jacket with large flowers, which made him stand out among the crowd of people wearing solid down jackets. He was holding a sign that read "Welcome Mr. Xu, Ms. Xu, Mr. Jiang, and Ms. Jiang," but he didn't dare to write it too clearly for fear of being recognized by people around him.

When the prompt sound suddenly sounded.

Figures began to appear at the airport entrance. The three young people opened their eyes wide, fearing that they had missed their parents. After a while, they finally saw their family members appear at the airport entrance.

"mom!"

When Jiang Huanxi saw Lin Qingying, he opened his arms and shouted towards them.

The two middle-aged couples pushing luggage carts naturally noticed this side.

Xu Xuejun and his group were not the only ones who noticed Xu Qingshan and his group. Even the other passengers coming out of the airport arrival gate were stunned for a moment and kind smiles appeared on their faces when they saw Xu Qingshan in a large flowered jacket.

Xu Qingshan's face hidden behind the mask was a little green.

Wow, Comrade Xiaoxi's shout immediately drew everyone's attention. Originally, he was wearing this outfit, so he tried to be as low-key as possible and held the sign in front of himself.

But when Jiang Huanxi was shouting just now, he raised the sign in his hand and looked towards the airport terminal.

After all, he hasn't seen his parents for a long time.

If the looks of the other people at the airport reception desk could be materialized, then Xu Qingshan would definitely be stabbed with all kinds of soft knives by now.

However, Xu Qingshan only hesitated for a moment, and quickly adjusted his mentality. What should I be afraid of when I wear a mask? Isn't it just letting myself go when my face is covered?

Once he had a good attitude, Xu Qingshan naturally relaxed.

"Mom and Dad, this way!"

Xu Qingshan raised the sign in his hand and shook it vigorously.

I put away the sign only when I saw the parents group coming over.

"This is?"

Lin Qingying and Lin Yuehua didn't push anything and walked quite fast. They came over and held Jiang Huanxi and Tong Tong's hands through the glass railing, while looking at Xu Qingshan.

"Qingshan, why are you dressed like this?"

Lin Qingying couldn't help but burst out laughing.

However, this kind-hearted mother-in-law only smiled, as if she felt it was difficult to hide her smile. However, Jiang Dehua and Xu Xuejun, two old men wearing navy blue executive jackets, who were slowly pushing a cart behind them, were stunned for a long time when they saw Xu Qingshan.

"Cough cough."

Xu Qingshan moved, coughed, and spoke simply.

"Let's go back first and talk about it when we get back. Uncle is here too."

Xu Qingshan was not willing to reminisce about the past in public, and more importantly, he was not willing to do so while wearing this outfit.

"Okay, we'll follow the instructions of our great mathematician."

Lin Yuehua agreed with a smile.

Lin Chenhua saw someone being picked up from a distance, and he quietly put out his cigarette and walked over.

The group of people were also carrying bags of various sizes and were heading towards the parking lot.

"Mom and Dad, how long can you stay in Beijing this time? Can you take more vacation? We can take you to relax and go shopping?"

"How could we ask for leave? We reported to the organization and postponed our duty to the seventh day of the Lunar New Year."

Xu Xuejun said with a smile.

These two years were enough time for him to think things through and become open-minded.

It has to be said that these people's moods have changed. Their appearances also seem to have changed a bit. Xu Qingshan felt at a glance that his father's face now looked more kind than before.

"It's the same with your Uncle Jiang. It's harder for them to get leave than it is for us."

Jiang Dehua nodded and smiled.

When Comrade Lao Jiang came to see Xu Qingshan, he thought about it for a long time and decided to put on a cold face and let Xu Qingshan feel his majesty as Jiang Huanxi's father.

Which father doesn't worry about his daughter being bullied?

But now seeing Xu Qingshan dressed like this, and considering what Jiang Huanxi had just said, he began to worry that his own daughter was bullying others too harshly.

"How are we going to get there? Is it convenient for you to take a taxi?" "It's not convenient to take a taxi at this time of year. We drove two cars here. How are we going to sit properly later?"

After the four parents came over, Xu Qingshan took the initiative to help with the luggage and asked casually.

Originally, eight people were divided into two cars, which was a pretty easy assignment, but Xu Qingshan had a little trouble with interpersonal relationships.

But someone helped him make the decision.

"Brother, please drive Sister Xiaoxi and the uncles and aunts. I haven't seen my godparents for a long time. I want to have a good chat with them and tell them about my recent situation at school."

Tong Tong, who was just holding hands and whispering a few words with Lin Yuehua at the beginning, pushed Xu Qingshan slightly at this time, asking Xu Qingshan to accompany the Jiang couple, and he just took Lin Yuehua to follow his uncle Lin Chenhua.

Xu Qingshan knew what the little girl was thinking, and this was the only way.

Xu Qingshan was driving the car himself on the road. Jiang Huanxi sat in the passenger seat very naturally and chatted with her parents who were sitting in the back seat. Xu Qingshan responded from time to time.

Lin Qingying didn't have any ideas. Her concept was quite advanced. She felt that a young man like Xu Qingshan, who knew her daughter well, was excellent and good-looking, was a good guy. As long as her daughter liked him, it would be appropriate to talk to her at any time.

Jiang Dehua looked at his daughter's behavior and sighed inwardly.

It looked like there was no way she could get her cabbage back. Her attitude had completely adapted to being the mistress of the Xu family.

That's not just a girlfriend.

But to have control.

Jiang Dehua could hear this from the few words between Xu Qingshan and Jiang Huanxi. Although his daughter had not yet married into the Xu family, the decision-making power of many matters in the Xu family had already been placed in his daughter's hands.

Jiang Dehua really didn't believe that his daughter didn't realize this.

She is just a little naive, not stupid.

No matter how stupid you are, you can never become the third place in the provincial college entrance examination.

It can only be that she accepted this identity willingly.

Ugh.

The little cabbage, the apple of his eye, whom he had raised for more than ten years, is gone forever. The old father is still very heartbroken. What's more, Lao Jiang is a daughter-obsessed man and loves her to the core.

Originally, when he got off the plane and saw Xu Qingshan's big flowered jacket, the tense mood he had on the road suddenly broke and he relaxed.

As a result, the longer I sat in the car, the more I observed his mood, and I became nervous again.

"Qingshan, what are your plans for the future?"

Lin Qingying asked.

Jiang Dehua's heart sank, but he remained calm. He just leaned forward slightly, afraid that he would miss every word Xu Qingshan said.

"What are your plans for future studies and work?"

Xu Qingshan drove the car attentively while answering questions from his future mother-in-law.

"It mainly depends on where Xiaoxi wants to develop in the future."

Xu Qingshan didn't have any other thoughts. He just talked about the facts and honestly told him all his future plans.

"I will still work at Jingcheng University in the next few years, so I can take care of Xiaoxi while she is still studying at Jingcheng University. It doesn't matter whether she wants to continue to study for a doctorate at Jingcheng University or return to our Minnan."

"I have asked my uncle to start building the first phase of Qingshan University in southern Fujian. In the early stage, we will build the Qingshan Institute of Advanced Studies, and then attract resources from Peking University, Huaqing University, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology. If Xiaoxi misses home, we can stay in southern Fujian, but our unit relationship will be registered with Peking University."

"Uncle?"

Jiang Dehua narrowed his eyes and asked curiously.

"That's my uncle."

Jiang Huanxi took over the conversation and Jiang Dehua understood that he was talking about his elder brother, Jiang Daohua, who resigned from the Road and Bridge Group to build a school.

This kid calls me uncle so easily, does that mean he calls me dad all the time?

"So it depends on Xiaoxi's idea. If she wants to go abroad, I can accompany her. I am no longer restricted by the location of my work, and I am fortunate to have such freedom."

Even in front of his parents, Xu Qingshan spoke openly.

Their relationship has lasted this long, and their parents have known about it for so long, so there is nothing to hide.

And speaking your mind can also put your family at ease.

Along the way, Xu Qingshan chatted with Jiang Huanxi and his family until they returned to the courtyard on Nanchizi Street.

"This house is so close to the Forbidden City. Although I saw it in the video, I didn't feel how good it is until I came to it in person."

Lin Qingying and Lin Yuehua went into the room and took a look together. Lin Qingying said in surprise.

Although Jiang Huanxi's family conditions were quite good, this courtyard house still exceeded Lin Qingying's imagination to some extent.

Although it is mentioned during phone calls, Jiang Huanxi occasionally comes to live here.

But there were no advanced video phones at that time. At most, Jiang Huanxi would take a few photos and send them to her mother via QQ or MMS. But no matter how many photos there were, they were only partial views.

Only when one actually enters this courtyard can one feel how much Xu Qingshan spent on living here.

"Everyone is here, come in quickly. Although there is a heater outside, it is not that warm. Come in and have some hot tea. I have prepared it for you."

The old lady ran out of the hall when she heard the noise outside and stood on the steps looking at her daughter and son-in-law.

When she saw Lin Qingying, the old lady's eyes lit up.

"Xiaoying is finally here. Is this Dehua?"

Jiang Dehua, who was still observing Xu Qingshan with a sizing look, froze and a smile appeared on his face. He stood at attention.

"Hey, auntie, it's me."

Lin Qingying pulled her husband in front of the old lady so that she could see.

Lin Qingying and Lin Yuehua were classmates in elementary school and relatives, so they had naturally met the old lady many times when they were young. However, as they grew up, they gradually lost contact due to work and family reasons.

Until Xu Qingshan went to study in Longjiang.

Lin Yuehua would occasionally go to Longjiang to see Lin Qingying, and would also see the old lady, but they didn't have time to discuss matters concerning the children.

If we were to argue about the relationship, the old lady could still be considered Lin Qingyun's distant cousin.

"Okay, everything is fine, come in and have some tea, we are all here, and we can have a reunion year."

The old lady glanced at Jiang Huanxi and Xu Qingshan who were lagging behind and greeted them with a smile.

"I have already had someone prepare the room for you to rest at night. Come and stay here peacefully for a while."

With the little old lady in charge, the scene became relaxed and lively, and there were no unexpected problems.

Drinking tea, eating and resting happily relieved the fatigue of a day's journey.

We didn't hire a chef to cook for this festive occasion. Originally, the adults were supposed to do it, but a few young people insisted on letting them do it this year, and their cooking skills were quite good.

With some hometown specialties brought from Longjiang, the food was rich.

only.

On New Year's Eve, when everyone was sitting around the fire at noon, Xu Xuejun suddenly brought up something that made the younger generations feel embarrassed for a moment.
