Qingqiu [Transmigration Book]

The weather in Jiangkou City has turned cooler, especially in the morning and evening.Although the temperature difference between morning and evening in coastal cities is not large, the wind is not small.

It has been almost half an hour for Mu Qingqiu to decide whether to wear a windbreaker or a suit.If the mirror had eyebrows, it would have been impatiently placed upside down.

The alarm clock on his phone rang, reminding him that it was time to go out.

After hesitating again and again, Mu Qingqiu put on a suit jacket and went out.

"Traffic jam? Why are you so late?"

Xu Zhixian was waiting for someone to pick him up in the underground parking lot on time, but a quarter of an hour passed, and there was no silver Sparta in sight.

"No. I came out a little late. I've already come in. I'll be there soon." Mu Qingqiu said on the phone.

"No rush. At worst, I'll just work overtime."

After fastening his seat belt, Xu Zhixian noticed Mu Qingqiu in a suit and leather shoes: "Why are you dressed so formally?"

"Is it really too late? Then I'll change into a windbreaker later." Mu Qingqiu gently pulled off his tie and lowered the temperature of the air conditioner a little.

"Huh? Did you bring one more?"

"Put it on the back seat," the car pulled out of the underground garage, and the white light flashed for a moment, making Mu Qingqiu squint his eyes, "I'm afraid the windbreaker will look casual, it's not good."

"You didn't go out late because you were confused about which one to wear, did you?" Xu Zhixian asked with his lips pursed, but he still couldn't hide the corner of his mouth.

"...No," Mu Qingqiu denied, but couldn't make up any other reason for a while, so he had to admit it, "Today is more important."

"Don't be so nervous, my parents like you quite a lot." Xu Zhixian chuckled, and changed the car music to the Japanese pop music that Mu Qingqiu likes.

"The last time I ate as a friend, this time it's different. They don't know..."

"I saw it on the news, and they guessed it was you. I was very happy to know it was you on the phone that day, and said that you are also polite. It is much better than the gossip on the Internet. My mother said she was relieved or something. "

"News? Didn't the call come from the day Yang Shisong terminated the contract? I haven't appeared on camera before?" Mu Qingqiu was a little confused.

After dealing with Yang Shisong's incident that day, Mu Qingqiu and Xu Zhixian went to the Shutong Club after a long absence, and a small dinner cost Mu Qingqiu half a month's manuscript remuneration.

However, Mu Qingqiu didn't feel any pain in the flesh, and after the meal, he happily strolled home with Zhixian, and bought a cup of oden by the way when he passed by Brother Lin's shop.

The phone call from Xu Zhixian's parents came when the two of them were eating a beef ball.

It was Xu Zhixian's mother who spoke first, and asked in a soft voice if the person Xu Zhixian was engaged to was the friend she brought home for dinner last time.

However, before Xu's mother finished asking, she listened to Xu's father yelling from a long distance from the phone: "Tell him! Don't think that you can be self-willed when you grow up! I can't control it anymore! Those stars in the entertainment industry are rotten. Worse, don't let me touch it!"

Mu Qingqiu listened beside him, thinking that the news had passed fast enough, as far away as Australia, everyone knew about the scandals of the past two days.It can be seen that father Xu cares about his son very much.

Seeing that Xu Zhixian's Adam's apple was rolling, and his nails turned white, Mu Qingqiu shook Xu Zhixian's hand comfortingly, knowing that Xu Zhixian's father's words that he couldn't control him had stepped on Xu Zhixian's minefield.

"Baby's father...!" Mother Xu said something while clutching the phone, followed by the sound of soft footsteps.

Xu Zhixian took a deep breath, and briefly explained to Xu's mother.On the way, Mu Qingqiu went to throw out the trash, and when he turned around, he didn't know what was said on the phone, but the person holding the phone was smiling.

"That's right, your ring picture has my surname. But even if my uncle and aunt like it very much, I still have to have the courtesy..."

After a simple explanation, Mu Qingqiu understood.

"It's really unnecessary. Although the Xu family is quite rich, it's different from the wealthy families you usually write about. They don't pay much attention to it. Essentially, the Xu family is also an upstart... Maybe my deceased grandmother is worth a thousand dollars?" Xu Zhixian said instantly The novel's number one wealthy family is demoted to nothing.

Mu Qingqiu couldn't laugh or cry, he knew in his heart that Xu Zhixian wanted to make himself less nervous.

As the car passed the highway intersection, Mu Qingqiu lightly stepped on the accelerator and picked up the speed.

The detached villa of Xu Zhixian's parents is on the hillside of Lanshan. There are many scenic villas in that area, all of which were developed by Linda Real Estate.

Before Xu Zhixian took power in Linda Group, Xu's father and Xu's mother lived near the university town.

Xu's father was the most inconspicuous among the uncles of Xu Zhixian's father's generation, and also the least liked by Mr. Xu.Xu Jianlin, who likes power and struggles, despises Xu's father's favorite literature and history, thinking that they are all useless things, and doesn't like Xu's mother who comes from an ordinary family.

So, Xu's father moved out of the old house very early, and only went back during the holidays.

However, Xu Jianlin doesn't like Xu's father, Xu Jingzhen, but he likes Xu Zhixian, who has a temperament similar to his.Therefore, Xu Zhixian was taken to the old house just after he was 4 years old, where he spent most of his childhood.

Xu Jianlin wanted to personally cultivate a puppet like himself, but unexpectedly the "puppet" endured for many years and overthrew his mountain.

After Xu Zhixian took power, he bought a villa in Lanshan according to his parents' wishes, a quiet place away from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Autumn cicadas sing slightly, red leaves flutter, and the sound of gurgling streams can be heard in the distance.

Xu Zhixian opened the car window, turned his head to look in the car mirror, and let the cool mountain wind blow the bangs on his forehead.

The rosy sunset shines over the fiery red clouds and shines on the endless hills, adding a touch of autumn to the forests that were originally full of forests.

"Qiuqiu, let's retire here in the future."

"Well, I'll follow you." Mu Qingqiu didn't know why Xu Zhixian said that suddenly, but he would definitely live with Zhixian in the future.

The silver car drove into the yard and stopped beside the black BMW.

Mother Xu was standing at the door wearing an apron, and when she saw Mu Qingqiu coming with four or five gift boxes, she hurriedly reached out to take them.

"No need, it's a bit heavy, I'll just mention it." Mu Qingqiu refused.

"This kid always takes so many things every time he comes here. Old Xu! Don't stay in the study!" Xu's mother shouted upstairs, then turned her head and asked Mu Qingqiu to rush into the house, "There are still vegetables stewed on the stove, Just like your own home." After she finished speaking, she hurried into the kitchen.

This is Mu Qingqiu's second time here.

The appearance of the villa has not changed much.It's just that Mu Qingqiu didn't expect Lin Er to be here. At the end of last month, Xu Zhixian had already started to clean up the old house. Mu Qingqiu thought that Xu Zhixian had fired all the servants and housekeepers.

Lin Er helped put away the things, said hello, and went to the backyard to cut branches and water the flowers.

"Xiaoqiu is here, sit down as you please." Xu's father came down from upstairs, his face full of generosity and kindness.

It was the same when we met last time, Mu Qingqiu couldn't see that this old father could be as strict as Xu Zhixian described, and he was clearly a knowledgeable old professor.

"Jingzhen! When the water boils, pour some water for Xiaoqiu and the others!" Mother Xu shouted from the kitchen.

"Understood!" Father Xu replied loudly, "There are fruits on the table, you can take whatever you like, and I'll pour some water for you."

"No, no, sit down, I'm thirsty." Mu Qingqiu waved his hand.

The way Xu's father and Xu's mother get along is very much like an ordinary family. When Mu Qingqiu came here for the first time, he was shocked by the scene of Xu's mother quietly admonishing Xu's father in the kitchen. Obviously, the last time I met Xu's mother in the car Looks like the underdog.

Later, Mu Qingqiu understood that Xu's mother was not a very weak person, but because she was born in an ordinary family, she had low self-esteem and was not good at dealing with those powerful wives.In other words, she once dealt with them in her naive way but was ridiculed and laughed at, and finally chose to go along with it.

This is also the reason why Xu Zhixian was very displeased when he heard that the old house held a dance party. He clearly had the strength to speak out, but he still agreed with them as before, following their wishes and holding a dance party to fulfill their vanity.

Mu Qingqiu happily chatted with Xu's father, from the ancient history of Qinghe Kingdom to the modern social system.

And Xu Zhixian didn't say much since he entered the room, and sat silently browsing the news on his mobile phone.Although they are biological fathers and biological mothers, they are not very close because they rarely accompany each other since they were young.

If outsiders were present, they would definitely feel that Mu Qingqiu and them are family.

However, Xu Zhixian was familiar with Mu Qingqiu's expression now, it was his typical appearance at the reception.Although there is less impatience and more serious listening, Xu Zhixian knows that the reason why Qiuqiu can show some interest is to accumulate material for the novel, not to please his father deliberately.

Perhaps, it is precisely because of the sincerity in his eyes that his father did not show any disgust for this relationship.Xu Zhixian thought, otherwise he would refute it with his stubborn opinion as a literati.

After a while, Lin Er entered the living room from the balcony, and explained to Father Lin the precautions for the flowers and plants in the backyard.

"What was I thinking just now?" Mu Qingqiu turned his head and asked Xu Zhixian next to him in a low voice, "I feel like you've been watching me for a long time."

"Why, aren't you allowed to watch it?" Xu Zhixian teased.

"No. How dare you." Mu Qingqiu smiled slightly, and realized that Xu Zhixian had something on his mind that he didn't want to talk about, so he didn't ask any more.

After Lin Er finished explaining, he greeted everyone present and left.Before leaving, Xu's mother asked him to take some mangoes, saying that it was hard work taking care of flowers and plants and feeding fish in the past few months.

Lin Er refused, and left in a hurry after saying "madam, you are welcome".

Seeing Qiuqiu's doubts about this series, Xu Zhixian followed Mu Qingqiu into the kitchen and explained: "Lin Er, I resigned a long time ago. One is that I can no longer live in the old house, and he has his own. His family didn’t stay. Secondly, he was busy with gardening before, so he knew better. His partner wanted to open a flower shop, so he resigned. Now he repairs flowers and plants for rich wives. The business is busy and he makes a lot of money. .”

"That's good." Mu Qingqiu said, "What salary do you pay?"

Xu Zhixian nodded.

While holding the bowls and chopsticks, the two whispered, very intimate.

Seeing this scene, Mother Xu felt warm in her heart.

She was also reluctant to leave her son since he was a child, and occasionally went to visit the school secretly, seeing that he was indifferent to everyone and had few friends.That mature sense of politeness made her feel a little distressed.

After returning from the United States, I have changed a bit, and I seem to have made good friends.But after that, he suffered a lot from starting the company, and he didn't know what happened, so he returned to his original estrangement.

And as a mother, I can't do anything to help, and it's even hard for my husband to let go of his prejudice against businessmen.I just feel that my son is going farther and farther alone, and the burden seems to have increased, but there is no one to accompany him.

Xu's mother also wanted to have a good talk with her son like her parents did to her before, but it seemed that she couldn't get close by any means, as if there was always a glass wall in between.

It's all right now, he has someone to accompany him, and it's different from those children from upper-class businessmen who value Xu Zhixian's financial rights.

Although she had only met Mu Qingqiu a few times, seeing the way the child looked at Xu Zhixian, Xu's mother knew that it was the same way she looked at Xu's father.

Soft and crispy lotus root clips, brightly colored fried rapeseed, oily but not greasy braised pork... Although it is not a delicacy, it is mouth-watering.

There was a lot of fun at the dinner table, Xu's mother and Mu Qingqiu chatted casually, Xu's father silently picked up vegetables and rice.

Mu Qingqiu shook his chopsticks and accidentally caught a piece of fat.

Mu Qingqiu stared at the meat on the tip of the chopsticks, he didn't want to catch it in the bowl, but it was also difficult to put it back in the plate.With a ruthless heart, he still caught it, after all, he was not at his own home.

Looking at the glistening fat on the rice, Mu Qingqiu secretly vaccinated himself: It's okay, it's okay, just treat it as jelly...

When he was plucking up the courage to eat it, a pair of chopsticks picked up the meat, and then added another piece of lean meat.

Xu Zhixian ate the rapeseed and fatty meat as if nothing had happened.

Mu Qingqiu sweetened his heart, touched his knees lightly, pretended to eat food with his head down, and then peeked across the table at his uncle who was still silently cooking the rice, while his aunt had already finished eating and got up to serve the soup, no one saw it.

Xu's mother put the chicken soup on the table overnight to cool, and asked naturally: "When are you planning to get married? Or have you already obtained the certificate?"

Mu Qingqiu choked on his last mouthful of food and coughed for a long time.

"I didn't get the certificate." Xu Zhixian patted Qiuqiu on the back to give him a good look, "There's no rush."

"Oh, I was the one to be abrupt. Are you still in-laws? Have Xiaoqiu's parents agreed?" Seeing Mu Qingqiu coughing and blushing, Xu's mother was a little embarrassed.

Mu Qingqiu regained his composure: "My parents passed away, so there is no disagreement."

Seeing Xu's mother's apologetic expression, he explained again: "I've been dead for many years, it's nothing."

"Oh, that's it. If you are busy with work and don't have time to plan the wedding, we can help." Xu's mother said, "But Mom didn't mean to rush you. Xiaoqiu, can Mom serve you some soup?"

"It's okay, I'll do it myself." Mu Qingqiu got up and said.

He didn't know that Xu's mother looked at Xu Zhixian several times behind him, and Xu Zhixian shook his head to express that he was really fine.

After dinner, Mu Qingqiu helped clean up the table, and put the dirty dishes into the dishwasher.

The four sat on the sofa and chatted from time to time.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows of the balcony, the city in the distance is dotted with stars. In this villa halfway up the mountain, you can see the Jiangkou Tower blooming with colorful lights, and the Jinmao Building behind it is lit with white neon lights, which complements the golden Global Center next door.

After bidding farewell to Xu's father and Xu's mother, the silver car drove down the mountain.

Because Mu Qingqiu drank some wine with Xu's father, he sat in the passenger seat and let Xu Zhixian drive.

Thinking back to the "meeting the parents" just now, I compared my mood when I came here.Mu Qingqiu felt that he was indeed too nervous.

There was nothing difficult about it, and my aunt felt distressed because of the early death of her parents.

"Auntie is very good, and uncle is also very good. I thought there would be some disagreement." Mu Qingqiu looked out the window and sighed.

"Yeah. It's pretty good." Xu Zhixian agreed, "But it's also because of you."

"how come."

"Actually, since the last time I came here, my father no longer dislikes me so much. My mother told me that he admires you very much, especially if you follow me but are unsophisticated."

"You sound like a glib tongue." Mu Qingqiu sneered, he could see that Xu Zhixian's parents were actually concerned about him but they didn't know how to use it, one was cautious and the other duplicity.

But no matter how much they cared, they couldn't make up for Xu Zhixian's lack of companionship in his childhood.Mu Qingqiu understood, so he didn't let Xu Zhixian and his parents settle down like a good old man.

"It's obvious that you're unsophisticated. Competitive methods are so cavalier." Mu Qingqiu looked at the driver, his eyes filled with watery tenderness.

That chivalry spirit must be maintained through hard work, Mu Qingqiu knew it well.

The contemptuous Bruce echoed in the car.Outside the window, the mountain road is pitch-black, with only the headlights illuminating the front.

The author has something to say: [Small Theater]:

After arriving home, Mu Qingqiu lay on the bed and turned over the cabinet on the side.

Xu Zhixian: What are you looking for?

Mu Qingqiu turned around and smirked: I just bought the granular version, it's your favorite lemon flavor, try it?
