Chapter 47
On New Year's Eve, Yan Zhuo sat beside Bai Qi and followed him to learn how to make dumplings.
Bai Qi looked at the round ball of work in his palm, hesitated for a while before asking: "This is... the steamed bun you made?"
"..."
Yan Zhuo looked at the dumpling in his hand with a skeptical expression, and compared it with the plump and beautiful one in Bai Qi's hand, and finally had to admit that he really had no talent in this matter.
Suppressing a smile, Bai Qi took the strangely shaped dumpling, and with a light pinch of his fingertips, it returned to its normal shape.
Yan Zhuo sighed with frustration: "I don't seem to have any fate with the kitchen."
"That's right, I have a very clear understanding of myself. So don't help me, just help grandpa post couplets."
As he said that, Bai Qi elbowed him, and physically drove him out of the kitchen.
Yan Zhuo went to the living room according to his words, just as he bumped into Grandpa Bai who was about to go out the door with the written couplets.
He hastened to meet the couplet, "I'll come, Grandpa."
Grandpa Bai glanced at him, and led him out without saying a word.
Yan Zhuo could feel that Grandpa Bai didn't like him very much. From the moment Bai Qi brought him into the house, the old man had never spoken to him. On the contrary, Grandma treated him more kindly and kindly. It can be seen that she is actually a little wary of herself.
But he can fully understand the thoughts of the two old people. After all, he is still Bai Qi's boss in name, and he doesn't look like that kind of gentle and delicate Omega. They are going to stay for the New Year, and it is reasonable for them to worry about their grandchildren being bullied.
So Yan Zhuo proactively raised the topic, trying to win some favors, "Grandpa's handwriting is really good."
Grandpa Bai was obviously very happy after being praised, and his walking pace was much lighter, but he still only gave a reserved "um".
Yan Zhuo continued: "No wonder Bai Qi's handwriting is so beautiful, it was taught by grandpa, right?"
Mentioning this, Grandpa Bai became very interested, put on a proud expression, and replied: "Xiaoqi is born smart, he can learn everything quickly, and he can understand everything with a little bit. He even won the calligraphy competition trophy back then."
Yan Zhuo suddenly discovered the secret to getting closer to Grandpa Bai, and boasted with him: "Yes, he was very outstanding when he first joined the company. No matter how complicated the work was entrusted to him, he could It will be completed very quickly. This is even more the case after having gained a wealth of work experience in the past few years. As long as everything is handed over to him, everyone will feel at ease."
Hearing him boasting about his grandson, Grandpa Bai finally couldn't hold back his expression of joy, and raised his eyebrows in satisfaction.
"Of course. When we Xiaoqi was at school, no matter the principal, teacher, or classmates, there was no one who didn't like him. Every time I went to a parent-teacher meeting with his grandma, I was surrounded by the parents of his classmates and asked questions. Xi, the teacher always asks us to introduce our educational experience. Hey, we two don’t have any educational experience. We all rely on the child to strive for success. Later, he was admitted to a good school and left home, but the neighbors in the neighborhood remember him Every now and then, he would come to ask us how Xiaoqi is doing outside."
The old man who seemed to be taciturn just now, when he mentioned his grandson, he suddenly changed into a different person, his eyebrows brightened and he chattered endlessly, and the chatterbox couldn't stop once it started.
Yan Zhuo listened carefully, remembering every word in his heart, and from time to time echoed him in praising Bai Qi, and finally made Grandpa Bai look him up a few times, with a satisfied expression on his face.
When Bai Qi came over, he ran into this scene.
He stopped and listened for a while, and was so ashamed by his grandpa's exaggerated compliments and Yan Zhuo's sympathy, he felt his face was going to burn, and immediately interrupted their singing: "Grandpa, What are you two talking about? Don’t go back to the house after posting the couplets, dinner is about to start.”
Grandpa Bai turned his head, smiled when he saw him, and said, "Talking about your past with Xiao Yan."
Bai Qi was shocked to hear his grandfather's proficient and intimate "Xiao Yan", and then looked at Yan Zhuo with a calm face, and suddenly felt that Yan Zhuo's social skills were not inferior to his own at all.
After all, grandpa and grandma called him out last night behind Yan Zhuo's back, telling him to be careful, be rational, observe everything more, and withdraw immediately if he feels something wrong, don't be deceived by his feelings.
Although Bai Qi couldn't laugh or cry at the time, he also knew that it was because of Yan Zhuo's identity that the two old people were shocked.
In the past, he only told the two old people that the lovers he was dating belonged to the same company, but he never told them that the other party was his immediate superior and boss.
Although they don't know the wealth ranking, they also know the strength of the company Bai Qi works for. The boss of such a big company has many times the financial resources of ordinary people like them.
In addition, Yan Zhuo came to visit with a large number of valuable gifts. Although he wanted to show his favor to the elders out of etiquette, these gifts were too expensive for an ordinary family. pressure.
And Yan Zhuo is not the type of Omega that conforms to the public's perception. He is even very aggressive and fierce. It is easy to make people feel fierce and difficult to approach at first glance, so grandparents feel this way about him. , Bai Qi is not surprised.
He explained it patiently to his grandparents, but he also knew that his words could only reassure the two old people. If they want to accept Yanzhuo sincerely, they can only look at Yanzhuo's own performance.But it will be a matter of time, after all, Bai Qi knows that his grandparents will be very satisfied with Yanzhuo in the future.
Because they had to stay up late at night to watch the New Year's Eve, after eating, the two old people drove them back to their room to rest.
When Bai Qi was already in a daze and was about to fall asleep, he suddenly heard Yan Zhuo ask in a very soft voice: "Is it always grandparents who go to hold parent-teacher meetings for you?"
His voice was very low, and Bai Qi actually wanted to pretend that he didn't hear him, but after a long silence, he still let out a "huh".
Yan Zhuo hugged his arm a little tighter, hesitantly said tentatively: "You don't seem to have told me much about the family affairs."
"There is nothing worth talking about. Neither of them wanted me. One was addicted to alcohol and killed himself by drunk driving. The other remarried and had a new family. They haven't contacted me for more than ten years. Grandpa and grandma worked hard to bring me up. , the neighbors and teachers also took care of me for my poor sake."
"..."
Bai Qi didn't open his eyes, but moved closer to Yanzhuo, "Don't feel sorry for me, my grandparents treat me like a sweetheart, my teachers, classmates and neighbors also like me, I haven't suffered any grievances, more than many The kids are having a good time."
He didn't seem to care much, but Yanzhuo couldn't take it seriously.
If you really don't care, you won't keep your mouth shut, and your eyelashes won't shake like this.
But Bai Qi was unwilling to show weakness on this topic, so Yan Zhuo cooperated and said, "I can see that grandpa and grandma love you very much."
Although there are only four people in the family, this is the most lively year Yan Zhuo has ever experienced.
Whether everyone is busy cleaning the house together, or preparing New Year's Eve dinner together, sitting around watching TV, these are obviously ordinary lives that cannot be more ordinary, but Yan Zhuo feels fresh and warm.
It turns out that the elders can be so amiable when they express their love for the younger generation. It turns out that it is not only the loud voice that can cultivate excellent children. It turns out that happiness has nothing to do with wealth.
Bai Qi opened his eyes, pinched his earlobe, and said, "They will love you very much too."
Yan Zhuo only took this sentence as consolation, but he didn't expect that, like Bai Qi, he received a thick red envelope when they paid New Year's greetings at midnight.
Yan Zhuo clutched the red envelope, still in a daze, forgot to say anything for a moment.
Several people were amused by his stupefied look, Bai Qi tugged at his sleeve, and he realized it, thanking him repeatedly.
After the grandparents returned to the house, Bai Qi saw that he was still staring at the red envelope and asked, "Are you moved? Or are you scared?"
To his surprise, Yanzhuo replied: "This is the first red envelope I received in my life."
