Chapter 99 Do we need to kiss?

The two sets of parents and Ding Linlang arrived at Qian Quan's dormitory and were a little dumbfounded when they saw his pile of gifts.

I was even more shocked when I discovered that those supplements contained many valuable ingredients such as ginseng, velvet antler, bird's nest, and sea cucumber.

"Who gave these?" Qian Wenlin asked.

"My friends who practice martial arts and play chess must have seen that I was targeting the Japanese this time, so they must have tried their best to do something."

"Yeah." Qian Wenlin nodded.

"How to make these things? Cooking is not allowed in the dormitory, right?" Yang Yuhua asked.

"The school cafeteria can do it for you."

"Oh, that's good."

"When it comes to supplements, don't be greedy for too much, but take them in moderation," Qian Wenlin reminded. "Healing a wound is like spinning silk. Take it little by little and don't rush."

Ye Yunlan also added: "Yes, you can't take too many supplements. A friend of mine said that her daughter sent her some supplements, but she got a nosebleed after taking too much."

"Yes, I remember." Qian Quan nodded with a smile, "Just in time, I was thinking of letting you take some back. I won't be able to finish all of them."

"Okay, take it back and keep it, and cook it for you when you go back during the holidays."

"You can eat it on a regular basis, otherwise it will be wasted if it expires."

"Besides, we don't lack nutrition either."

"Let's try it. You can also serve it as a dish when you usually have dinner together." Qian Quan said.

"discuss later."

"Well, by the way, have you booked a hotel?" Qian Quan suddenly asked.

"Which hotel should we book? We'll see you and go back."

"You're already here, I definitely want to play for a day." Qian Quan said.

At this time, Ding Linlang interjected: "Send me your uncle's and aunt's ID numbers."

"Okay." Qian Quan sent his parents' ID numbers to Ding Linlang on his mobile phone.

"Linlang, whatever you want to do, we can order it ourselves." Yang Yuhua said hurriedly.

Ye Yunlan stopped her: "Okay, Mother Shitou, let their children make arrangements."

Qian Quan smiled and said: "When you come to Shanghai, Linlang and I are the hosts. Now we are entertaining you as local snakes."

"It sounds like you two have settled in Shanghai. Are you still a host?" Yang Yuhua complained about his son. As soon as he finished speaking, everyone felt that something was wrong.

The implication is...

Ding Linlang paused while using her mobile phone and continued to book a hotel as if nothing had happened.

Qian Wenlin, Ding Li and Ye Yunlan all had thoughtful and tacit smiles on their faces.

"It's a matter of time." Qian Quan said confidently, not knowing whether it was to resolve the awkward atmosphere or because he was unaware of the subtle atmosphere.

"Zhonghai's house prices are quite expensive, right?" Ding Li asked, "I heard someone said that a bathroom costs two to three hundred thousand?"

"I haven't understood it yet." Qian Quan smiled.

"They are only in their first year this year, and it is still early to buy a house." Ye Yunlan said.

"If you want to stay in Zhonghai in the future, you still need to find out about it in advance. You also need to know about school district housing and so on."

Ding Linlang raised her head and said: "Dad, don't you know that outsiders who buy a house in Zhonghai need five years of social security, and they also need to get married."

"Is that so? Let's wait a few years and then talk about it."

"The hotel has been booked. Let's just go shopping today. Tomorrow we will go to Haichang Park. The tickets are also booked." Ding Linlang quickly changed the topic.

"Okay, okay." Qian Quan agreed. Originally, he and Ding Linlang were going to Haichang.

Ye Yunlan said: "We want to see the Oriental Pearl Tower."

"Go to the Bund this afternoon." Ding Linlang said and glanced at Qian Quan, "Don't go, rest at school."

The four adults also agreed.

"What, of course I want to go, I'm not a patient!" Qian Quan protested, "I just can't continue fighting. Otherwise, I'm no different from a normal person."

"We still have to walk a long way to Haichang tomorrow," Ding Linlang said.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine." Qian Quan insisted, "In the worst case, I'll be tired from walking, you can help me..."

Before he finished speaking, Qian Quan reacted quickly when he saw Uncle Ding looking at him gently: "Here you go, responsible for taking our parents to play. I'll just find a place to rest."

Ding Linlang glanced at him and said, "Okay, it's up to you."

At noon, Qian Quan took everyone to a restaurant near the school for dinner.

On the way, I met a female classmate in the class and greeted Qian Wenlin and Yang Yuhua politely: "Hello, uncle and aunt."

"As expected of a college student, he is really polite." Yang Yuhua said.

Ye Yunlan looked at Qian Quan and asked: "Shitou, is that little girl interested in you? Does this mean she wants to leave a good impression on her future parents-in-law?"

"No way, Aunt Lan, you are making fun of me again." Qian Quan denied.

Yang Yuhua said: "I think they are just ordinary classmates, and I already have a choice in mind for my daughter-in-law. I am not satisfied with anyone else's words."

After saying that, he looked at Ding Linlang kindly and asked for Ding Linlang's ID number.

Ye Yunlan said: "These young people have big ideas now, and we don't know if we can be their masters."

Yang Yuhua said: "No matter how big your idea is, you must listen to your family's opinions on life-long matters, right? Isn't that right, Shitou?"

"Yes, yes, absolutely!" Qian Quan quickly agreed, "To be honest, I personally really like arranged marriages.

"Think about it, as soon as I graduated from college, my family arranged a good marriage for me, and I got married right away. What a great thing.

"From now on, you can free your hands and work on your career."

Qian Quan's words made everyone laugh again.

"Don't be sarcastic here. Your father and I are not that feudal and do not engage in arranged marriages." Yang Yuhua rolled her eyes at her son.

"Mom, let me be honest, you and my dad have full control over my marriage!

"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences. I understand the truth. You must be doing it for my own good!"

"Auntie, he is stealing your lines." Ding Linlang reminded.

"I know." Yang Yuhua looked at Qian Quan, "You are still young when you are playing this trick with me, and you don't even know who gave birth to you."

"Hey, tell the truth, no one believes it." Qian Quan was helpless.

After arriving at the restaurant, everyone found a table and sat down.

Ding Li smiled and said: "Let Wen Lin treat us to a meal today to celebrate the sale of film and television rights."

It seems that the four adults have agreed to announce the truth today.

Qian Wenlin nodded: "No problem."

"By the way, uncle, Qian Quan and I both want to read and learn from the film and television rights you wrote for the article you wrote." Ding Linlang said.

"It's not suitable for you to read yet. It's about middle-aged people's marriage." Qian Wenlin said.

"Oh, but congratulations to uncle, you are really awesome." Ding Linlang praised.

Ding Li said: "Shitou, have you inherited your father's talent for writing?"

"You must have inherited a little bit," Qian Quan said with a smile.

"A little is not enough. You have to surpass your father and be better than your master."

"Yeah, I'll try my best."

After dinner, Qian Quan and Ding Linlang took their parents to the Bund.

When foreigners come to China Overseas to travel, it seems incomplete if they don’t check in in front of the Oriental Pearl Tower.

The four elders took a group photo first.

Then there are family photos of two families of three.

Then there are photos of the two couples.

Finally, I found a passerby to take a group photo of the two families.

After the group photo was taken, the two dads chatted facing the Oriental Pearl Tower, while the two moms went to collect materials for their short video works.

After visiting the Bund, everyone went for a walk on the pedestrian street.

Ding Li asked: "I don't know how much the house price is in this area?"

"It must be more than 100,000," Qian Wenlin said.

Ding Li nodded and sighed:

“The big city is good, but the housing prices are really high.

"I just made my own calculations. If we want to buy a decent house in Zhonghai, we will have to live without food and drink for 20 years, let alone those young people who have just graduated."

"Living in a big city is not easy," Qian Wenlin said.

"Why do you have to buy a house here?" Ye Yunlan questioned, "It's not like we don't have a house to live in at home. At worst, we will rent a house."

“The quality of life is completely different when you rent a house. First of all, the house is not yours, so you can’t decorate it according to your own wishes. Moreover, you have to consider moving in two or three years, which is very frustrating.

“Especially when you have children in the future, you have to consider household registration issues and school district issues.

"In addition, buying a house is not only for living, but also to combat inflation. 100 yuan now and 100 yuan 20 years from now are not the same thing."

Ding Li analyzed patiently.

Ye Yunlan still disagreed: "The child can go back to his hometown to go to school. Can't the four of us look down on one child?"

"Mom?" Ding Linlang looked confused. Are you all so picky now, instead of hiding things?

"I'm not talking about you and the stone, I'm just making an analogy."

Ding Linlang:???

Qian Quan smiled and shook his head.

"Yunlan, you think too simply. If possible, children must grow up with their parents. Left-behind children are prone to childhood shadows as they grow up. We must avoid them if we can.

"And, do you think they would be willing to be separated from their children?"

Ye Yunlan said: "Then I am not willing to let my children be so tired and work hard all their lives just to buy a house. Life is only for a few years, why not enjoy it?"

Qian Wenlin hurriedly tried to smooth things over and said, "Why are you girls worrying about this?

"Buying a house is a man's business. We have only heard of buying a house and a car to marry a wife. We have never heard of buying a house and a car to marry a daughter. So don't argue."

Ding Li said: "That's definitely not possible. Buying a house must be done by two people, or even two families together. It's unfair and unreasonable to put all the pressure of buying a house on you."

Ye Yunlan also said: "And your family already has a house and a car."

Qian Quan was very happy to hear this, and he felt so immersed in it.

Ding Linlang glared at him and whispered: "What are you talking about?"

Qian Quan spread his hands and said that this has nothing to do with me.

Everyone visited the pedestrian street and then went to Yuyuan Garden.

At six o'clock in the afternoon, we had dinner together and then returned to the hotel.

"You have to get up early to enter the park tomorrow, and go to bed early tonight." Ding Linlang reminded everyone.

"Um."

After returning to the room, Ye Yunlan asked Ding Li: "Today we were talking about buying a house. Did you notice Shitou and Linlang's expressions, and what were their reactions?"

"I noticed that Stone's smile was so big that it reached his ears, Linlang..." Ding Li sighed like an old father saying "a girl can't stay in a big position", "I don't resist either."

"That's good." Ye Yunlan said happily, "I think Shitou is very popular in their school, and the girls' eyes light up when they see him.

"And he has made a lot of great friends. Look at the gifts that people give him, we are reluctant to buy them."

Ding Li nodded: "Stone is indeed better than I thought. He is both civil and military, courageous and knowledgeable. There is no need to say this."

"Moreover, people don't need to pay tuition fees from their families to go to school now, and they also get a stipend of 50,000 yuan a year."

"Yes." Ding Li nodded.

"The most important thing is that our two families are close to each other. I can see my daughter at any time during the holidays."

"Yes." Ding Li nodded quickly, this is very important.

"So, we must not miss Shitou, our son-in-law!

"You don't have to help, but don't hold back. Don't put pressure on them by making the same assumptions all day long, about housing prices, or about children's education.

"It won't be a problem for our two families to buy a house in Zhonghai together. At worst, we can borrow some more."

"That's what I said today."

"But if you say that in front of them, it will cause pressure on people. Didn't you listen to Dad Shitou? Buying a house is their man's business."

"It's okay. With the relationship between our two families, this won't be a problem."

Ye Yunlan said: "Anyway, Mother Shitou is absolutely satisfied with our Linlang. She firmly stands on the same front as me."

"Um."

The next day.

Both families got up early, had breakfast, and took the early subway to Haichang Park.

As soon as I got off the subway, someone came up to sell those disposable raincoats.

"What kind of raincoats are they selling on this sunny day?" Yang Yuhua asked.

"I wore it when watching the killer whale show." Ding Linlang replied after checking the guide.

“Do killer whales spray water on people during a show?”

"It seems like it is slapping water at the audience with its tail, and then the audience sitting in the front row may be splashed by the water."

"Oh, that's interesting."

Because it was a weekend, there were many tourists, so we had to queue for almost half an hour to enter the park.

Under the leadership of Ding Linlang, they first visited the Iceberg Arctic Museum to see polar bears, Arctic foxes, Arctic wolves and beluga whales.

At around 10:40, I watched the performance of Moby Dick.

The two beluga whales and the two actors worked together in perfect harmony and presented a wonderful underwater performance for everyone.

Then, they went to the Marine Aquarium and Penguin Museum, where they visited sea lions, manatees, otters and penguins that seemed to be swimming in the air.

At noon, we had lunch at the Walrus Restaurant.

Then go to one of the most popular projects - the Orca Theater.

There are a lot of people lined up for this project.

They tried to pick it up, but they only got to the middle.

At 1 o'clock, they officially entered the venue, and the six of them chose seats at the back.

Before the official performance, there is a knowledge interactive session:

The big screen will first play a popular science about killer whales, and then multiple-choice questions will be asked to the audience. Each question has three options, and the audience can choose the correct answer through gestures.

During the audience's answer process, the camera will randomly select a pair of audience members and display them on the big screen.

The format is "Kiss Cam", which is a kissing game that imitates foreign sports competitions.

Specifically, between games, the big screen will randomly focus on a pair of fans sitting next to each other (usually a man and a woman), and then they will kiss each other.

This interactive game brings a lot of fun, heartwarming, prank and embarrassing moments to everyone.

At this time, the first question was already displayed on the big screen:

Which of the following animals is a mammal?

1,shark

2, killer whale

3,duck

The answer was obviously 2. The entire audience made scissor-hand gestures, and then a man and a woman suddenly appeared on the big screen.

It was Qian Quan and Ding Linlang.

"Stone! Linlang!"

Ye Yunlan was the first to discover it and shouted in surprise.

Qian Quan saw himself on the big screen, smiled and waved.

Ding Linlang was a little embarrassed and lowered her head slightly.

When the audience saw such a good-looking couple, they couldn't help but exclaim: "The boy is so handsome, the girl is so beautiful, they are so compatible."

"This boy looks familiar." Someone vaguely recognized Qian Quan.

Amid everyone's discussion, Qian Quan approached Ding Linlang and asked in a low voice: "Have you checked the strategy? Do we need to kiss?"

"Shut up!" Ding Linlang couldn't help but pinch Qian Quan's ears in front of everyone, so she could only blush and whispered.
