Antu under the moon

Since Shen Antu had demonstrated that his body had recovered the day before, Xie Duo did not take him to the hospital again, and went straight to the company early the next morning.

Before half of the work in the morning, Xie Duo received a call from Xie's old house.

Xie's mother, Li Wei, chatted a few words at home first, and finally changed the subject and said: "You haven't been home for a long time, your father misses you very much, why don't you go home for dinner tonight? If there is a drinking party, just push it ,ah?"

Zhou Minghui's crow's mouth became a prophecy, Xie Duo glanced at Shen Antu who was sketching in the swimming pool at home, and said to the phone: "Okay, I'll go back tonight."

Shen Antu seems to be practicing sketching. In less than two hours, he has already drawn five pictures. The sketch objects range from the bedside table in the bedroom to the swimming pool on the first floor. It takes half an hour to draw a picture at the beginning. The picture can be completed in 10 minutes, and the swimming pool is already the sixth picture.

Xie Duo called him while he was washing his hands and going to the kitchen to pour water to drink.

Shen Antu received a call from Xie Duo for the first time, staring at the caller ID for confirmation for a long time before pressing the answer button: "Hello?" His ending sound raised slightly, with a hint of subtle surprise.

"I'm going back to the old house for dinner." Xie Duo realized that Shen Antu didn't know the meaning of the old house after speaking, and explained, "It's my parents' house, and I might stay overnight."

"Oh..." Shen Antu's ending sound dropped, "Then I'll let Aunt Zhao cook a meal for one person, you, you are happy eating at home."

"Well, call me if you need something."

"it is good."

Xie Duo stared at Shen Antu on the monitor, watching him slowly hang up the phone, stood alone in the kitchen for a while in a daze, and then went to the garage with the drawing board in his arms.

Xie's old house is an old house in the true sense, with white walls and blue tiles, and low eaves. It is an old town completely different from the modern style in the city center. Approved ancient buildings to be protected.

Xie Duo grew up here, but moved out from junior high school for the convenience of going to school, and rarely came back when he grew up.

The most impressive impression left on Xie Duo here is not the warmth of home, but the pervasive pressure. They are wrapped around Xie Duo and die-cast, making Xie Duo become Xie Duo.

As Ruigan's next successor, Xie Duo must remain perfect since he was a child. Although no one really stipulated that he must do so, the teachings of his parents, the eyes of relatives, and the attention of the outside world are like heavy burdens hanging on his shoulders. shoulder.

Xie Duo successfully became what everyone expected, calm and decisive, but it was not because he wanted to.

Xie Duo parked the car outside the courtyard gate, and entered the house greeted by the old housekeeper.

"Uncle Zhang." Xie Duo greeted the housekeeper.

Uncle Zhang smiled and said, "Go in quickly, your parents have been waiting for a long time, are you still working so hard?"

When Father Xie first taught the company to Xie Duo, Xie Duo lived in the old house and stayed up until two or three in the morning every day, and Uncle Zhang made supper for him for a period of time.

Xie Duo replied: "It's better than before."

The two chatted all the way to the lobby.The old house has been renovated once before, and the inside is not as old as the outside. When you approach the house from the outside, it feels like you have traveled back to modern times from the Republic of China.

Li Wei was sitting on the sofa watching TV, when she saw Xie Duo, she stood up to greet him: "You are here, why are you so late? The guests are all anxious."

Li Wei likes to wear a decent cheongsam even at home, with a waistcoat on her body. She wears light makeup, and her facial features are delicate and soft. She is a beauty even in her old age. Even wrinkles seem to be decorations. Xie Duo has inherited most of her facial features. Except for the eyes, his eyes are more like his father Xie Changqing.

"Mom." Xie Duo handed the coat to the housekeeper, and then she asked, "What kind of guests are here?"

Just as Li Wei was about to speak, she heard movement upstairs, so she didn't need to explain further.

I saw a few people coming down the wooden ladder on the second floor. The leader was a middle-aged man in his 50s, dressed in a dark Tang suit, with straight eyebrows and eyes, calm and pretentious.

Xie Duo went up and called "Dad", Xie Changqing nodded, and walked down the stairs, followed by three people, the first two were a middle-aged couple, and the last one came down was a slender girl in a velvet dress.

Xie Duo said hello one by one: "Uncle Chong, Aunt Zhong, Shi Rui."

Xie Duo had a boring meal, he was more exhausted than talking about business at the wine table, and he had to be wary of Chong Shirui's small movements of touching his hands and legs from time to time.What made Xie Duo even more annoyed was that he hadn't been able to watch Shen Antu on the surveillance camera for two hours.

Chong Dashan clinked glasses with Xie Changqing while holding a wine glass, but looked at Xie Duo: "Xiao Xie, I heard that you have been busy fighting for the land in the eastern suburbs recently, so you don't have time to go home? You need to do this kind of trivial matter in person Do you care?"

Xie Duo couldn't eat anymore, and put down his chopsticks while he was replying now: "Ruigan intends to expand in the direction of tourism, and this time he is testing the waters."

"That's right, as expected of Changqing, your son. Young people have ambition." Chong Dashan didn't really want to know Ruigan's movements, and these words were just to lead the topic to Xie Duo. Sure enough, his next sentence was, "If you want to have a career, you can't live without a family. Changqing, your son is so outstanding and he's not too young. Have you considered his lifelong affairs?"

Xie Changqing was a bit smug when he was drinking, he didn't look as fierce as before, he sighed to Chong Dashan: "Think about it, why didn't you think about it, how many times we urged him, he himself is not in a hurry."

Chong Dashan sighed as if he had found a sympathy, and pointed at Chong Shirui who was opposite him with the end of his chopsticks: "My girl is also like this, she has big ideas, she will be 25 next year, her eyes are on the top of her head, No one from any family would look down on him."

Chong Shirui snorted coquettishly, caught the silence of the few people and made dumplings for Xie Duo, leaned close to Xie Duo, brushed his long hair over his arm, half covered his mouth with his hands as if to whisper: " Brother Xie, you have eaten too little, let's have another dumpling."

Seeing this scene, the four elders looked at each other and knew it well.

Xie Duo adjusted his sitting posture by holding the chopsticks, avoiding Chong Shirui's movements, reached out to pick up a piece of meatball from the table and stuffed it into his mouth, and then put down the chopsticks naturally.

"If you don't meet a good one, you can't let it go. Shirui is still young, so if you look slowly, you will find it. Like me, I also felt that I would die alone in this life until I met my partner recently."

Xie Duo spoke calmly, with the same expression as when he was talking about the company's affairs just now, but the other five people at the table were so shocked that their eyes widened.

Chong Shirui was the first to speak, with a sharp voice: "Brother Xie, do you have a date? Are you kidding me? Are you using this excuse to escape the elders' urging marriage with the online students?"

"Shirui!" Zhong Ling reprimanded her daughter in a low voice, then forced a smile at Li Wei and Xie Changqing, "It's a good thing that Xiao Xie has a partner, I don't know which daughter it is?"

Xie Changqing stared at Xie Duo without saying a word, Li Wei looked apologetic: "This is the first time we have heard that this child..."
