Chapter 153 Family Meeting
"Lao Xu, I heard that we will be renovating the old city after the New Year."
“There is such an arrangement.”
"I have a feeling that Chengdu will have a lot of development in the next few years."
The two middle-aged men drank some wine and began to talk about family and national affairs, while the two women whispered about community gossip.
Song Yao put down her chopsticks, exhaled lightly, and touched her bulging belly. She felt a little full from eating so much and being fed all the time.
She turned around and saw Xu Qingzhou looking a little depressed. After thinking for a while, she picked up a piece of pork ribs for him.
Xu Qingzhou looked at the ribs Song Yao picked for him, feeling complicated. He moved closer to Song Yao and whispered, "You are so gentle, I am a little unaccustomed to it."
Song Yao was so gentle, especially in front of her mother. She was well-behaved, beautiful, generous and cute, which made Ms. Wang so happy that she was oblivious to her own sadness.
hiss~
As soon as Xu Qingzhou finished speaking, he felt a cold and soft hand reaching out to his thigh, and then, a familiar pain came.
Song Yao was so angry that she wanted to beat someone up. This guy, I tried to comfort him with good intentions, but he disliked my violence?
Wang Xiaping's sight was blocked by the table. Seeing Xu Qingzhou baring his teeth, she frowned and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Xu Qingzhou was inconsolable: "No, it's okay."
Song Yao had already withdrawn her hand and was drinking tea from the cup, looking at Xu Qingzhou innocently. Her acting skills were top-notch.
Zhang Junli saw everything these two people did. She sighed that girls should not be kept at home when they grow up. It was the first time she saw her daughter so active.
At 9 o'clock in the evening, Xu Qingzhou finally returned to his familiar nest. The layout of the bedroom had not changed much. There was a slight scent of laundry detergent in the air. The sheets and quilt covers were all newly changed by his mother. There were a few more bags of sundries on the side of the door than last time.
Taking a deep breath, Xu Qingzhou fell on the bed with his arms and legs spread out.
Just after lying down for a while, Wang Xiaping stood at the door, knocked on the door, and said, "Don't lie down, come to the meeting, your father and I have something to ask you."
Xu Qingzhou jumped up from the bed and guessed what they were going to ask.
Thus, the Xu family’s first year-end summary meeting began before the New Year.
In the living room, three people sat together and the TV was muted.
Wang Xiaping, the host, spoke first: "First of all, please tell me about your plans for your studies."
Xu Qingzhou thought for a moment and said, "For now, I will finish my undergraduate studies first. I will still study for my master's degree in China, and then the school will send me abroad to pursue a doctorate."
Wang Xiaping asked: "Study abroad?"
"Well, you don't have to worry about the expenses. I have my own money. Besides, I'm on a government scholarship, so I don't have to pay for the tuition."
Xu Shouyun and Wang Xiaping were filled with emotion. They both only attended a junior college, but they didn't expect their son to be so successful. A doctorate, that seems like a very distant thing.
Xu Shouyun put down his teacup and said in a deep voice: "In terms of academics, your mother and I don't have any suggestions for you. After all, we don't know as much as you do. But as I said, health is the capital of revolution. No matter how successful you are in your career in the future, if your health collapses, you will have nothing."
"You two can rest assured about this. I exercise every week." Xu Qingzhou smiled. He was still thinking that one day he would be able to turn the tables and become the master in front of Song Yao.
"Okay, just keep it in mind." Wang Xiaping nodded slightly, then her expression became more serious, and she said, "The second thing is - what are you and Xiaoyao planning?"
Wang Xiaping was extremely satisfied with Song Yao. Her appearance was impeccable, but she also had a good personality. She was gentle and generous. One could tell at first glance that she was a good girl.
"Mom, if I say that Song Yao and I are innocent, would you believe it?" Xu Qingzhou sighed.
Wang Xiaping and Xu Shouyun smiled and said nothing, looking at Xu Qingzhou as if he was a fool. Can he lie on the bed innocently? Xu Qingzhou: “.”
Wang Xiaping rolled her eyes and said, "You kid, you're still hiding this from us even after all this?"
Xu Shouyun took a sip of tea and said, "Your mother and I are not stubborn. Dating is dating, and we won't object."
"Yes, what we mean is that you two should be careful. Well, you understand it anyway." Having said this, Wang Xiaping did not continue.
Xu Qingzhou was speechless for a while, the more he talked, the more outrageous it became. If you hadn't called me last time, I might have really been ruined by Song Yao.
"Song Yao and I are just friends now. We don't have the kind of relationship you imagine. As for the last time you called me," Xu Qingzhou was stuck, "Guo Ziyang and Ding Jiahui were there too, so it was just a misunderstanding."
Wang Xiaping frowned: "You two really have nothing?"
"Yeah." Xu Qingzhou nodded.
Wang Xiaping narrowed her eyes and sneered in her heart, "Nothing? You two are like that, saying there is nothing. Do you believe it?"
Seeing that Ms. Wang still didn't believe him, Xu Qingzhou spread his hands and said, "Anyway, I still want to focus more on my studies."
Dating is such a waste of energy.
Although the cement sealing the heart seems to be cracked a bit now.
Wang Xiaping glared at him and said, "Get married and start a career. Get married and start a career. If you don't get married, how can you start a career?"
"Mom, you're not an old-fashioned person. Things like starting a family first are outdated ideas." Xu Qingzhou retorted.
"So what's going on between you and Xiaoyao?"
"My friend, is there only love between men and women, and not pure revolutionary friendship?"
Wang Xiaping pretended to hit him: "Old Xu, look, this is the son you raised, deceiving a girl's feelings!"
"Qingzhou, your mother is doing this for your own good." Xu Shouyun said from the side.
"Dad, can you please judge for yourself? Cheating? I feel more wronged than Dou E."
Xu Shouyun ignored Xu Qingzhou's question, turned around and pretended to watch TV, not wanting to be affected.
Wang Xiaping was too lazy to argue with Xu Qingzhou and gave him an ultimatum, saying, "I don't care. Anyway, your father and I have chosen Xiaoyao. If you dare to let her down, then you don't have to enter our Xu family anymore."
After saying that, she looked at Xu Shouyun.
Being called out, Xu Shouyun couldn't pretend anymore and he coughed dryly. Of course, he knew he had to form a united front with his wife at this time, so he nodded in agreement.
"."
"We'll talk about this later." Xu Qingzhou also felt that he couldn't continue this topic. "Two leaders, do we have any other topics to discuss today?"
"I'm so angry with you, what else can we say?" Wang Xiaping said unhappily.
Xu Qingzhou patted his butt and stood up, ready to run away, "Then I'll go back to the house to pack my things first."
In the bedroom, after closing the door, Xu Qingzhou sighed and stopped thinking about those complicated emotional issues. He took out his computer and various reference books and placed them on the table.
The preparations for the quantum optics experiment are all ready, and we are just waiting for the experiment to begin, so this time I mainly brought information on number theory and material physics.
