put on a show

Xing Pei knew that going to Pei Qing's home to visit his parents this time was very different from the past, saying that he was afraid of being liquidated was false, but he could only joke like this to ease the real tension in his heart.Of course, he should apologize to Mom Pei face to face for the good things he did at Qu Lian's wedding.

It happened suddenly, and Xing Pei was not prepared, not even a suitable gift.He looked at the paintings and handicrafts in his home, and he could get any one of them, but it always seemed sloppy and lacking in sincerity.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xing Pei turned his attention to the neighbor's yard.

Next door lived an elderly couple. The husband was a well-known entrepreneur in the last century and had retired.The children are all abroad, the old couple lives in such a big mansion with the servants at home, the yard is full of all kinds of flowers, like a botanical garden, blooming all the year round, every time Xing Pei passes by, he can't help Live a few glances.

Xing Pei is busy with work, and his age is also a little bit different from that couple, and they are just nodding acquaintances when they see each other on weekdays, and rarely interact with each other.But this time he had to be cheeky, walked for more than ten minutes, and called at the door of someone's house.

After explaining his intentions, the other party politely led him into the garden and asked him what flowers he wanted, and he picked them himself.

Now that they are all here, Xing Pei holds the scissors and cuts fiercely as if going all out.All kinds, roses, peonies, lilies, peonies, jasmines, magnolias... But Xing Pei took the knife on all the flowers that bloomed beautifully and smelled good.Afterwards, I felt embarrassed and wanted to say that I would give the money, and others would not be short of the money, but the old couple took the initiative to say that it was okay, and thanked the flowers in the yard when they withered, knowing that he would give them away to make the people who saw the flowers happy It is better than withering alone in the yard.

Xing Pei nodded, remembering this favor in his heart.

It was only noon, the sky was dark, black clouds rolled up like sea waves, the wind was blowing like heat waves, the woods were rustling, and a heavy rain was coming soon.

Xing Pei followed Pei Qing back to his house, and met Pei's father and mother Pei who were packing and drying winter clothes and quilts in the front yard.Xing Pei subconsciously withdrew his hand, but Pei Qing pinched it and held it in his hand.When Pei Qing rejected him before, he always wanted to tease them in front of their parents, but when he saw the parents' plot, Xing Pei felt a little scared again.

Pei Qing also gave Xing Pei a gentle and firm look, turned his head and shouted: "Mom, we are back."

With a smile on her face, Mother Pei handed the quilt to Father Pei, and greeted him: "Come inside, it's going to rain soon."

Xing Pei was a little embarrassed, and handed over the bouquet in his arms: "Master, I'm sending you flowers."

"It's so beautiful, there are so many kinds." She leaned closer and smelled it, and then looked at Xing Pei suspiciously, "You don't think you stole it from someone in the garden, did you?"

"Of course not, I went to ask my neighbor for it." Xing Pei was complacent, and his mood also relaxed following a joke made by his teacher.

Talking, laughing and walking to the front, seeing Father Pei, Xing Pei finally pulled back the hand that Pei Qing was still holding, and shouted more embarrassingly: "Teacher... I didn't bring you a gift."

Unexpectedly, Mr. Pei was more embarrassed than him. He almost froze his face, opened his eyes and coughed twice: "It's okay, then what, come in."

Pei Qing also led Xing Pei into the house. Now the two families are very close to each other. It only takes about ten minutes by car. It is also a slow drive up and down the mountain, and it only takes half an hour to walk.

The two children entered the room, and Mr. Pei kept complaining that Mother Pei didn't tell them about the relationship between the two children earlier: "Look, how do I face Xiao Xing now, and he can't resent me for being too strict with him before? "The old man's eyes rolled, and he seemed to recall it immediately, "I said you were so kind to him from the beginning, didn't you just want to be liked by others, and let me be hated by others."

Mother Pei rolled her eyes to the back of her head: "I'm too lazy to tell you."

"Whether you say it or not, you have always been like this. You can be a good person yourself, and always let me be a bad person."

"Oh, I'm afraid that Xiao Xing came to you to learn the piano because of our son, you can't stand this."

"Are you saying that Xing Pei learned the piano to pursue youth?"

"I did not say anything."

"This kid doesn't take the piano seriously. What kind of attitude does he have? It's in vain that I really think of him as his successor."

Mother Pei thought the old man was annoying, so she kept waving her hands like chasing flies.

Xing Pei heard the old couple muttering in the back, and looked back, seeing that Mr. Pei was also looking at him, they both looked away guiltily at the same time.

Xing Pei bumped into Pei Qing and said, "Hey, are your parents talking about me behind?"

Pei Qing also reached out to wrap his arms around Xing Pei's waist, causing him to tremble, and the muscles in his waist instantly tensed: "What are you doing?"

Pei Qing didn't change his expression: "Let them discuss it."

Xing Pei made a living, but was taken back by Pei Qing, Xing Pei raised his eyebrows: "Why are you crazy?"

"Don't you always care that I hide it from my parents? Now that we are together, what are you awkward about?"

Xing Pei grabbed Pei Qinghuan's arm and let out a sigh of relief: "Are you taking revenge on me?"

"I'm showing my affection." He said and leaned close to Xing Pei's ear, "I'm taking revenge on them, those two showed me for decades."

Xing Pei started to turn red from the base of his ears, a little ashamed and a little annoyed, but the caramel in his heart started to boil and bubble again.

They sat down in the living room, and Mother Pei brought a pot of herbal tea and a plate of rice cakes, greeted them to eat and drink, and then went to the kitchen.Pei Qing still wanted to help, but was caught by Xing Pei.Xing Pei winked at him vigorously, and if Pei Qing walked away, the air would freeze as he and Mr. Pei sat here.

Pei Qing immediately understood, and asked naturally: "Dad, how is your recent piano advanced textbook writing?"

"Half." The old man covered his mouth with his fist and coughed twice, "How is your movie going?"

"It's over."

……

Seeing the opportunity, Xing Pei quickly picked up the teapot: "Teacher, drink some tea."

Mr. Pei hurriedly picked up the teacup and caught Xing Pei's spout with both hands.With a full glass, the old man drank it all in one go.

……

Seeing that the teapot was back on the table, the old man also picked up the teapot: "It's hot, Xiao Xing also drinks some tea."

Xing Pei hurriedly picked up the cup...

While drinking the tea his teacher poured for him for the first time, Xing Pei gave Pei Qing a wink. This person was eating rice cakes leisurely as if he hadn't noticed the suffocating atmosphere of embarrassment at all.Seeing Xing Pei glaring at him, he fed the rice cake to his mouth: "It's delicious, aren't you hungry, eat a piece?"

Xing Pei gritted his teeth, wishing he could put the tea cup back in Pei Qing's mouth.

Fortunately, mother Pei turned around at this time and named Xing Pei: "Xiao Xing, come and help me taste the taste of this red meat."

Xing Pei breathed a sigh of relief, but he became nervous again when he walked to the kitchen door, because he saw that his mother had sent his aunt away. Was he going to call him alone to settle the score?How come there is a feeling of coming out of the wolf's den and entering the tiger's den, but the fragrance in this "tiger's den" makes people swallow.

Mother Pei took a small square of oily and trembling braised pork, and lifted it up to Xing Pei's mouth.Xing Pei had no choice but to bend down awkwardly to catch it.

Mother Pei squinted and smiled: "How is it? Are you short of salt?"

"Not bad, just right."

"That's good." As she spoke, Mother Pei put the chopsticks aside and straightened her face. It seemed that she had something to say.

Xing Pei hurriedly apologized first: "Master, what happened at Teacher Qu's wedding was all my fault, and it has nothing to do with Senior Brother Pei. I will go and tell Teacher Qu myself."

Mother Pei smiled loosely: "I have already called Xiao Qu in the past two days and said that it is fine, so don't worry about it."

"I just feel that I'm quite ignorant, and I'm making things difficult for you."

Mother Pei patted his arm: "Isn't that sensible? Don't think about it, just pass it."

Xing Pei smiled: "Shall I serve you food?"

But Mother Pei grabbed his wrist: "No hurry, Xiao Xing, Auntie has something to give you first."

"Ok?"

Xing Pei immediately remembered that he asked Pei Qing for the "family heirloom", and was extremely embarrassed.He was just joking about it, but it seems that Pei Qing really said it for him.

He scowled, embarrassed: "No, Mrs. Mistress, that..."

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by a jade amulet brought out by Ms. Pei, and she put the jade amulet in Xing Pei's hand.Xing Pei took a look at it and touched it, and found that the touch was excellent suet jade.

"not me……"

"Xing Pei, take it." Mother Pei spoke in a commanding tone, but looked at Xing Pei with an unusually loving look, making it hard for Xing Pei to say no.

Mother Pei patted his hand: "His grandma left me a lot of things, but they are all women's things. I pick and choose, but none of them are suitable for you."

Her eyes drooped, and her eyes fell on this transparent jade.This piece of jade is different from the jade pendants you usually see. It is almost a piece of high-quality seed material, polished squarely, with only a layer of shallow and rough carving marks on the surface.

"This piece of jade was asked by Qing Huan's grandma for him. His grandma believed in Buddhism all her life. I was pregnant with Qing Huan. The old man was a vegetarian and recited scriptures. I offered the Buddha card with the master of the temple. I prayed for peace. Qing Huan was born put it on for him."

When Xing Pei heard such a story, he couldn't accept it: "Master, this is too precious..."

"It's not expensive, listen to me. He wears it all the time. When he was 12 years old, he lost it because the thread was old and broke. When he came back, he was slapped by his father. The old man beat him once in his life. At that time, his grandmother Just passed away, his father blamed him for not cherishing the things left to him. Fortunately, he picked up someone who was not greedy, so he came back. Returning to Qing, he remembered his father's slap in the face, and said nothing, I knew he was afraid of losing it again, so we kept it for him until today."

"Parents can't keep their children's things all the time, and parents can't accompany their children for a lifetime. Now Qing still has you, just like this piece of jade. I thought I couldn't get it back, but in the end it returned to us after going around. You and him are the same, we are still together after going around, there is a destiny somewhere. So now I entrust it to you to keep it for him, and wearing it on your body can also bless you safe and smooth."

Xing Pei understood the meaning of Pei's mother, which was to hand over the rest of their son's life to him. Xing Pei couldn't help but feel a little choked up in his throat, and he couldn't say any more words of rejection.

Mother Pei simply put it on for him around his neck, and then carefully opened his collar, letting this moist jade Buddha stick to his chest.

"My Jiaqing seems to be a person who is not afraid of anything, but he is actually timid. The more precious he feels, the less he dares to reach out, just like this piece of jade, he dare not wear it for fear of losing it again. So he If you don’t do well, you have to tell me and his father, you are young, and I can’t let you feel wronged.”

Xing Pei lowered his head, and was about to cry when he heard such heartwarming words, but he could only hold on: "No, he did a good job, I am not wronged."

"That's good. Qing is still very good at taking care of people. He took care of me and his dad in every possible way. It's because we were too busy with work when we were young. Incompetent parents will always raise special caring people. He will treat you well, and his father and I will treat you as our own family, just be casual, why are you more reserved this time than before? "

Xing Pei hummed twice, and quickly ran away with the food. He was afraid that he would really cry if he stayed for a while, and he would be ashamed.
