Xiangyu

Perhaps because Zhou Meiqi had heard too many stories about Qiao Yusong from Xu Aojun, she was unable to ask questions that Qiao Yusong would have heard at the dinner table, such as how old she is this year, where she works, and the nature of her work. , I usually work hard.

Between unfamiliar people, there are no such topics to exchange pleasantries, so embarrassment and silence are naturally inevitable.

Qiao Yusong didn't expect Song Yuqiao to play the role of adjusting the atmosphere, thinking that since he came to their house, of course he couldn't wait for his uncle and aunt to find a topic.After eating two pieces of sweet and sour short ribs, Qiao Yusong approached Song Yuqiao and asked, "Auntie made these ribs?"

Song Yuqiao glanced at him in surprise, then understood what he meant, and asked, "Delicious?"

Qiao Yusong nodded repeatedly.

"Where does she have such good skills? She stays at home all day and doesn't know how to exercise." Song Zhishan said proudly.

Actually, before dinner, Qiao Yusong had discovered that Song Zhishan was in charge.He laughed and said, "That's amazing. My dad doesn't know how to cook, and he is often disliked by my mother. Auntie is really happy."

Zhou Meiqi sneered disapprovingly, and said: "What's the use of him cooking delicious food? Throughout the year, I haven't seen him cook a few times. But I hate my cooking every day."

Qiao Yusong smiled embarrassingly, and said instead: "Then I am lucky today, and I can eat a table full of delicious dishes made by my uncle."

"My mother made that cloud ear salad." Song Yuqiao turned to his side.

Qiao Yusong had seen this before.

"Really?" Qiao Yusong pretended to be surprised, and looked at Zhou Meiqi, "Then how can uncle say that the dishes made by auntie are unpalatable? I think this cold dish is of hotel standard."

Zhou Meiqi only showed a smug expression on her face, and Song Zhishan immediately snorted, "It's just a side dish."

After hearing this, Zhou Meiqi's complexion suddenly darkened.

"I don't think you can say that. The simpler the dish, the harder it is to make it delicious, and the more you can see the real kung fu." Qiao Yusong added, "I like to eat scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and I often do it when I am resting. But the top Most of them are edible, and the taste is so-so, and Song Yuqiao's cooking tastes better than mine."

Song Yuqiao listened to his few words and praised everyone, laughed and shook his head.

"Hey? What's your attitude?" Seeing this, Zhou Meiqi dissatisfied, "Ren Xiaosong praised you, are you still dumbfounded?"

Song Yuqiao curled his lips when he heard this.

"Isn't it brought out of the mother's womb? What others say is not pleasant." Song Zhishan said lightly.

After listening, Zhou Meiqi rolled her big eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I can't tell what it means? How dare you go around saying that your son has cattle." Song Zhishan curled his lips.

Qiao Yusong's original intention was to chat to make the dinner less deserted. He didn't expect that it took only a few words, and there was no special reason for it. The two elders began to exchange words.He looked at Song Yuqiao in bewilderment, but the latter's expression was as flat as usual.

Zhou Meiqi argued with Song Zhishan for a few words, and finally, Zhou Meiqi said: "Xiao Song is here today, I'm too lazy to learn from you."

Song Zhishan smiled coldly and said, "I'm doing Xiao Song face, I don't bother to talk to you."

Qiao Yusong was really embarrassed by such a big face.He smiled embarrassingly, and simply stopped talking.

After seeing how his uncle and aunt got along, Qiao Yusong suddenly understood why Song Yuqiao didn't talk much at ordinary times, and when he spoke, he always chose the most direct sentence.Perhaps, in such a family, he has had little opportunity to speak since he was a child, so when he can speak, he must express his most important wishes as soon as possible.

The strange thing is that even at dinner, the uncles and aunts had a few arguments.After dinner, everything seemed to disappear, and they got along peacefully, not in harmony, but in harmony.

Knowing that Song Yuqiao and Song Yuqiao had no chance to watch CCTV's Spring Festival Gala on New Year's Eve, Song Zhishan turned on the TV to find the replay channel of the show, and the four of them sat around the coffee table, drinking tea while watching the show.

When it comes to the part of supporting the army that must appear in every evening, military representatives and their military families will appear at the evening.The host used a provocative and restrained tone to express the firm belief of the soldiers who have been stationed abroad all the year round and the perseverance of the military families. Half of you is half of me."

"Oh, it's hard work. I can receive so many benefits all year round, and my children don't have to worry about studying. I would do it for me." Zhou Meiqi teased nonchalantly.

Song Zhishan sneered: "If it were you, the management department would deal with you every day to cause trouble."

"What's the matter with me? Arguing for my husband to come back, looking at me every day, making picks and quarrels?" Zhou Meiqi retorted.

Qiao Yusong really didn't expect that they could quarrel like this, so he looked at Song Yuqiao in embarrassment.

Song Yuqiao put a cup of tea in front of him, with an expression like he didn't hear anything.

After arguing with her husband, Zhou Meiqi sighed and said, "However, I have to say that the country has done a really good job on this point. At least, all the benefits that should be given have been given, so that the family members can safely raise their children at home. Children, It is also easier to have a sense of pride as a descendant of a soldier. Song Yuqiao, you don’t stay at home all year round, your unit should have similar benefits, right?”

Song Yuqiao looked up at her indifferently, and said, "Yes."

"Why don't you care?" Zhou Meiqi said after a pause, "Oh, it's useless for you to care."

After hearing this, Qiao Yusong's heart tightened.

"He didn't come with me for any welfare or benefit, so I don't need you to worry about it." Song Yuqiao said lightly.

Qiao Yusong was taken aback, and quickly stopped him with his eyes.

Song Yuqiao glanced at him, but did not respond.

Zhou Meiqi's face turned pale, and she muttered: "You think I want to worry about it? You have to disappear for five years when you go back to vacation, right? How will Xiao Song live these five years? Have you ever thought about it? Oh, you are dedicated to your youth. , if there are children and grandchildren, I would like to sacrifice even the children and grandchildren, what do you ask Xiao Song to do?"

"Auntie, it's okay. I've figured it out." Repeating the old tune, Qiao Yusong didn't want to continue such useless discussions, so he couldn't help but say.

Zhou Meiqi was startled, glanced at Song Yuqiao, and said sarcastically, "You did a good job."

Qiao Yusong blushed upon hearing this.

"We will go back to Jinjin in two days, and we will have a notarization of the agreed guardianship agreement. At that time, we will become each other's guardians, and we will be able to make decisions for each other in times of danger. As for property and the like, my benefits in the unit are really good. But in terms of income, in a few years, mine may not be more than his. It's no fun to covet these things. You two can live like this for a lifetime, and I don't think we have anything to worry about." Song Yuqiao said.

"What's called..." Zhou Meiqi blushed, held back for a long time, and muttered, "You guys can do whatever you want!"

Song Yuqiao really couldn't speak.Seeing the stalemate of the family, Qiao Yusong muttered in his heart.Thinking that Song Yuqiao said this to protect the tacit understanding they had built with great difficulty, Qiao Yusong felt more happy than regretful.

After only staying in Song Yuqiao's house for a few hours, Qiao Yusong has experienced no less than three times of disputes between the two elders. He really can't imagine how Song Yuqiao grew up in this family when he was a child. Was it like this before with uncles and aunts? ?

When he was young, Qiao Yusong often envied other children, because their parents were at home, and his father was working outside all the year round. He could only see him once a year, and spent a few days with his father.But seeing Song Yuqiao's parents now, he is not sure what kind of family environment would make him happier.

When he and Song Yuqiao returned to the room and closed the door, Qiao Yusong asked in a low voice, "Have you seen them like this since you were a child?"

Song Yuqiao shrugged, found a set of pajamas from the closet, and asked, "Is this for you to wear tonight? I wore it when I was in college."

"Will it be too young?" Qiao Yusong remembered that when Song Yuqiao graduated from undergraduate, ordinary people went to high school.

Song Yuqiao shook his clothes open and said, "It's okay, I bought it some time before I went abroad, it seems. At that time I was almost 1.8 meters."

Qiao Yusong joked: "That means you didn't grow much later?"

After listening, Song Yuqiao glared at him.

Qiao Yusong smiled triumphantly.

"You can also choose to wear what I brought back, which is in the suitcase." Song Yuqiao threw the pajamas on the bed.

"I'd better wear this." Qiao Yusong picked up the pajamas, smelled it, and said in surprise, "It smells like it has just been washed."

Song Yuqiao nodded and said, "My mother washed it specially when she knew I was coming back. She probably thinks I can wear it."

Qiao Yusong's heart softened when he heard it, and after thinking for a while, he joked, "Then do you lend me the underwear I wore in college?"

"Huh?" Song Yuqiao stepped forward and rubbed his face, "How dare you say that? Don't even think about wearing underwear tonight."

Qiao Yusong pushed him away amusedly, and urged, "Hurry up and take a bath!"

Song Yuqiao picked up the change of clothes and said before going out, "Song Yan has an appointment for dinner at noon tomorrow, shall we go to the clinic to find her then?"

Unexpectedly, Qiao Yusong was slightly taken aback by this arrangement, then nodded and said, "Okay."

After Song Yuqiao left, Qiao Yusong hugged the pajamas and fell on the bed.

The sheets and duvet cover looked half worn, but the pillowcases on the two pillows were brand new.The pillow is fluffy, and it seems that I have just bought it back.

Qiao Yusong touched the pillow, and suddenly, he heard a knock on the door.

Startled, he got up quickly.

Before opening the door, Qiao Yusong arranged her hair and clothes.Opening the door, he saw Zhou Meiqi standing outside the door, holding a red envelope in her hand.

"Auntie..." Qiao Yusong opened the door wide.

Zhou Meiqi didn't intend to enter the room, she gave him the red envelope with a smile, and said, "Here, New Year's money."

Qiao Yusong was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hands to refuse: "No, no, you're not a child anymore."

"Oh, take it. Song Yuqiao is still a child, can you?" Zhou Meiqi stuffed the red envelope into his hand impatiently, and smiled, "This is a wish from your uncle and me."

Qiao Yusong held the red envelope in embarrassment and said, "Thank you, Auntie."

She smiled happily and said, "You're welcome. I have to thank you for being willing to be with Song Yuqiao."

Qiao Yusong was surprised, and hurriedly said, "Song Yuqiao is a very nice person."

Zhou Meiqi smiled coldly and said, "He is my son, how can I not know?"

He was dumbfounded.

"Song Yuqiao is quite capable, and the unit is also good, but I also said when I was watching TV just now, being with him is worse than being with the military. It is very hard." Zhou Meiqi showed melancholy while talking.

Having met Zhou Meiqi many times, it was the first time Qiao Yusong saw such a sad expression on her face, he was so surprised that he didn't know how to answer.

Soon, Zhou Meiqi smiled, and her melancholy was swept away.She asked: "The notarization Song Yuqiao mentioned is equivalent to getting married, right? Have you two ever thought about having children?"

Hearing this, Qiao Yusong was surprised, and smiled embarrassedly: "This...we haven't talked about it."

She said: "His father and I have relatively old ideas, and I still think it would be better for you to have a child. While I still have energy, I can help with it. Of course, whether it is your child or Song Yuqiao's, we They will all be like grandchildren.”

The implication seems to be surrogacy. Qiao Yusong blushed and said awkwardly: "We haven't talked about this. But if you and uncle have this meaning, I will tell him later."

"Hey!" Zhou Meiqi seemed to have achieved the purpose of this trip, with a comfortable smile on her face.

Seeing her happy, Qiao Yusong smiled, but he sighed in his heart: Such words are as pungent and sharp as Zhou Meiqi, but he dare not tell Song Yuqiao directly.

In the same way, how did Qiao Yusong know what to say to Song Yuqiao?

Qiao Yusong never considered children, because he felt that he didn't spend enough time with Song Yuqiao alone, so how could he find the experience to take care of children?However, he did remember that Song Yuqiao mentioned it once, that is, the day of the notarization.At that time, Song Yuqiao said on the phone that if he wanted to adopt a child in the future, the procedures would be troublesome at best, but it was not impossible.

By saying this, does he mean that he is more inclined to adopt than the biological child of the surrogate?

It is true that surrogacy is not practical in China, not to mention Song Yuqiao's status.No wonder Zhou Meiqi dared not tell Song Yuqiao.

"Not sleeping yet?" Song Yuqiao suddenly murmured, "Aren't you tired enough?"

Qiao Yusong, who was thinking wildly, couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, and turned around and snuggled into his arms.

"What are you thinking?" In the darkness, Song Yuqiao rubbed his cheek with the tip of his nose.

Qiao Yusong hesitated for a long time, and chose to tell him Zhou Meiqi's thoughts.

After listening, Song Yuqiao fell silent.

Qiao Yusong waited for a while, but didn't hear him answer, and asked, "Asleep?"

Song Yuqiao snorted slightly and said, "If she could treat your child as her own grandson, she wouldn't think about surrogacy. Neither your child nor the adopted child is my biological child. Why did she only mention two things?" possible?"

Qiao Yusong felt a block in his heart when he heard it, as if the tenderness he felt in his heart at that time was destroyed by Song Yuqiao.

Qiao Yusong didn't speak for a while, which made Song Yuqiao realize that his words might be a little heavy.He frowned and asked softly, "Do you want children?"

He was stunned, and laughed, "If we were in an ABO world, I would be able to give birth to you."

Although he knew that he was avoiding the problem by saying this, Song Yuqiao still laughed after hearing it.

"I don't want it now." After a while, Qiao Yusong said, "I only want to love you now."

Song Yuqiao's heart trembled slightly, and he hugged him tightly.

Qiao Yusong sighed slightly, and said: "Let's talk about it in a few years. Adopting a child is also considered a good deed. Besides, I now feel that the so-called 'incense' does not necessarily depend on blood. If we can Raise a child, influence him with our thoughts and viewpoints, and with our help, he will learn the principles of being a human being. In the future, he may not necessarily be an excellent person, but at least he will be a good person. In this way, it can be regarded as a kind of inheritance.”

Never expecting him to think so, Song Yuqiao was very surprised.In fact, for Song Yuqiao, children are dispensable.The reason why he mentioned it once at the beginning was all because he thought that maybe Qiao Yusong had a certain chance of wishing to have a child.As for himself, after seeing too many quarrels between parents and children's rebellion, he has no doubt that having children is a very troublesome and risky thing.

But after hearing what Qiao Yusong said, he had to re-examine his views.He suddenly felt that it might be good to raise a child, if that child could be as gentle as Qiao Yusong in the future.

"Asleep?" This time, it was Qiao Yusong's turn to ask.

Song Yuqiao smiled and said, "Not yet."

After all, it was just Qiao Yusong's wishful thinking. Raising a child is a matter between two people, so he naturally cares about Song Yuqiao's opinion.He said, "I'm just saying..."

Song Yuqiao interrupted him with a kiss, and said, "I like your idea very much. Compared with ABO, this idea is much better. I can't help but look forward to it."

Qiao Yusong was stunned for a moment, hugged Song Yuqiao, and smiled foolishly.
