Chapter 571: Finally looks a bit like a human

Looking at the cheap boy beside her, Song Yao pursed her lips. If it weren't for her parents being there... she was sure she would have punched him already.

Too punchable.

She snatched the orange from Xu Qingzhou's hand and went to watch her dad and the others play chess.

Xu Qingzhou smiled, thinking to himself that Song Xiaohua's little expression of being unable to stand him but not daring to make a move was quite cute.

Of course, once in private, he would definitely be dealt with.

This might be overdrafting happiness.

At the dining table next to them, unlike Xu Shouyun who had his back to Xu Qingzhou and the others, Song Shisong had taken in the actions of the two young people, and couldn't help but smile lightly in his heart.

Probably only this kid could make Yaoyao's emotions change so much.

Song Shisong also felt immense emotion. When he first saw this kid... he felt he was unusual.

Facts proved that his judgment was still sharp.

Xu Shouyun and Song Shisong's second game hadn't started yet, and Wang Xiaping had already come to greet everyone for dinner.

Soon, six people sat around the dining table.

Xu Qingzhou accompanied the two old fathers to drink white liquor, while Song Yao and Wang Xiaping drank fruit juice.

"These two children, things worth tens of millions, bought just like that." Wang Xiaping was still sighing that Xu Qingzhou and the others bought the house in one day.

Xu Qingzhou said helplessly: "These houses were taken down by the official side, there are no tricks like those on the market, no need to pick and choose."

"That's true..."

Wang Xiaping couldn't refute. Having worked in the government for so many years, she understood that official work sometimes had extremes; either it was a tofu-dreg project, or it used the best materials.

This matter was probably the same.

"After this period is busy, we will take annual leave to Kyoto to see." Zhang Junli regretted not going to see the house the young couple just bought.

"Old Zhang, after going to Kyoto, shall we just go to the Northeast for a walk?"

Wang Xiaping took the opportunity to make an appointment for annual leave.

"Okay, Old Song and I have been thinking about going to the Northeast for the past few years."

After everyone finished chatting about the trip, Zhang Junli looked at Xu Qingzhou and asked curiously: "Qingzhou, when will your institute officially run?"

An institute with an investment of over three billion.

They couldn't imagine how big this institute was.

Xu Qingzhou said: "Currently, equipment installation is still being done. It is expected to be put into use in September. In the near term, it will mainly engage in research on lithium dendrites and the shuttle effect of batteries..."

Xu Qingzhou gave the four a general idea of the research content and direction.

At the end, he paused and said with a smile: "If successful, it won't be long before everyone might be able to drive electric cars that can run thousands of kilometers."

Although those experiments were very mysterious, the last sentence was very vivid, making the four middle-aged people let out a burst of exclamation.

The meal was very lively.

Next, everyone talked about Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao's career planning, the company they were preparing to start, when they would graduate, etc.

Many things couldn't necessarily be explained clearly on the phone.

Wang Xiaping and Zhang Junli soon discussed which residential area nearby had better housing prices.

But they didn't study it deeply. Since the two didn't have much time to return, there was really no need to rush for a house in Rongcheng, planning to slow down and talk about it later.

Finally, they talked about where to go on Sunday.

Wang Xiaping thought for a while and asked for everyone's opinion: "I see the sun is nice tomorrow, let's go camping."

"Okay..."

After eating and drinking, the task of washing dishes fell to the two young people.

In the living room, the four middle-aged people didn't know what they were chatting about, and from time to time, happy laughter of "hahaha" came.

Xu Qingzhou washed the dishes, Song Yao helped out on the side, and took the opportunity to cut a fruit platter and bring it out.

"Well, just enough for a game of mahjong." Xu Qingzhou washed the bowls, looked towards the living room, and sighed.

Looking at this scene, he felt inexplicably stable in his heart.

"You didn't drink too much, did you?"

Song Yao came back after delivering the fruit and smelled the alcohol on Xu Qingzhou.

Xu Qingzhou raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "I'm not bragging, if I drank openly, I could get my dad and your dad all drunk."

A body in its twenties is at its most resilient time, not comparable to two middle-aged people.

What's more, they didn't actually drink much tonight.

Wang Xiaping and Zhang Junli managed their husbands' drinking very strictly. Once a man is over 35, all kinds of chronic diseases like high blood pressure and high blood sugar start to emerge.

Song Yao showed an "I believe you" expression, but asked back: "Then what do you mean when you usually say you're drunk and lean on me?"

"..."

Too much, do you know what it means to see through but not say it?

Xu Qingzhou cleverly chuckled twice and changed the subject, "Have they discussed where to go camping tomorrow?"

"The wetland park next door."

Song Yao didn't continue to pursue it. Taking advantage is taking advantage. Anyway... she was also cooperating with the flow at times.

"Okay, then I'll find the camping things later, the canopy and stuff, I bought it in my senior year of high school, but only used it twice..."

The liveliness lasted until 10 PM.

Song Yao went home with Song Shisong and his wife to stay at home for two days to accompany her parents.

Thus, the Xu family also returned to tranquility.

Xu Qingzhou dug out the camping equipment that had gathered dust in the utility room to prepare for tomorrow.

And in the living room, Xu Shouyun made a cup of tea. The boiling water was a bit hot, he took a small sip, and leaned comfortably on the sofa.

Wang Xiaping packed up the water cups in the house, wiped her hands and came out, glanced at Xu Qingzhou who was organizing the camping equipment, and couldn't help but sigh: "After so many years of hard work, I finally see this kid looking a bit like a human."

"..."

Is this a bit offensive?

Wang Xiaping thought of another thing and asked: "Now that you're back, and graduating tomorrow... have you and Yaoyao planned when to hold the wedding?"

"Wait another two years, she hasn't even graduated yet."

"Sigh~ Alright. Tell us in advance when the time comes, so we can pick a date. The wedding still needs to be held... I heard a few young girls in the office talking about travel weddings, that is, going out for a trip and getting married, you can't do that."

Wang Xiaping muttered: "Don't find that you can't find photos when you want to see your wedding decades later."

"Mom, your thinking is behind the times, young people have their own ideas, travel weddings are also good."

"Don't you young people like a sense of ritual? Why don't you even want a wedding?"

Wang Xiaping expressed a bit of incomprehension. She looked at those young girls' Moments, posting holiday photos on holidays, saying things like one person also needs a sense of ritual.

"This..."

Xu Qingzhou's mouth moved, not knowing how to explain. This might be a generation gap, although they definitely had a wedding.

He held the remote control, adjusted it for a long time but couldn't find anything good, and finally stopped on the movie channel's Zhou Xingchi movie, and asked at the same time: "Dad, Mom, do you want to change to another house?"

"Why spend this unjust money."

Wang Xiaping rolled her eyes, took her phone and prepared to post a Moment with tonight's group photo, and said indifferently: "Lived here for more than twenty years, can't get used to other places."

Surrounded by neighbors, going to a new place, even mahjong players have to be made an appointment for a long time.

"Yeah, your mom and I are used to living here, you keep your money well, just live your life well, your mom and I will take care of ourselves."

Xu Shouyun nodded slightly, echoing from the side.

Xu Qingzhou didn't force it, the old couple was still the same as before.

Although Wutong Residential Area is an old residential area, the living facilities are built quite perfectly, with green trees, and walking inside the residential area has a sense of historical weight.
