"dad?"
Xiang Beiyi thought he heard wrong. Ever since he married a good wife and became the leader of a state-owned enterprise, his father had never reprimanded him in such a harsh tone. Now he actually got angry in front of Qiao Yicheng because of his ridicule. This ……unacceptable.
Father Xiang glared angrily: "Go back to your home and don't let me see you again today."
This time he heard clearly, and when he saw that his father was really angry, he still dared to wander around the study, so he quickly greased the soles of his feet and fled - you must know that he had been beaten many times when he was a child, and he was so angry at that face full of Chinese characters. The fear can be said to be deep in the bones.
After Xiang Beiyi left, Xiang's father changed his attitude and said with a smile: "Xiao Qiao, I made you laugh. This child Beibei has been spoiled by her mother since she was a child."
"it's okay no problem."
Lin Yue had long known that this kind of thing would happen, and sure enough, the guy danced and danced and made his father angry.
In the TV series, the director didn't give Xiang Beifang many scenes, but it was obvious that the relationship between Qiao Yicheng and his uncle was not very friendly. Even though the two families later became in-laws, the Xiang family helped Qiao Zuwang solve problems such as pensions. The Qiao family still looked down upon and disliked him, but it was just because of the shame of his sister and parents.
Xiang Nanfang said: "Dad, let me just say that 10% of the handwriting is very good."
In fact, she only knew that his handwriting was beautiful. As for why he was so confident in his sweetheart, it was because Song Qingyuan said that even his father praised Qiao Yicheng's handwriting. Not to mention whether Song Qingyuan's father's calligraphy skills are high or low, he must have good eyesight after being in the small circle in Beijing for such a long time. Since the old man said yes, Qiao Yicheng must have two brushes.
Father Xiang said, "Okay, that's great."
I don’t know if he is good at writing, or because this prospective son-in-law is good, or whether he is good at both.
As for these unsigned paintings, there were quite a few in ancient times, such as religious paintings and court paintings. This type of work was especially common in the Song and Yuan Dynasties. There is another kind of painting that is not signed in Xiang's mind, and that is the calligraphy work attached to the calligraphy work. Simply put, it is equivalent to the illustrations and covers of modern books.
Qiao Yicheng said that he gave a calligraphy to the elders of CAFA. The content is "Huashan Song" by Liu Yuxi. Let's not talk about the good, bad, beautiful and ugly of the calligraphy. In the "hundred flowers blooming" environment of CAFA, with Huashan A message in itself is a blessing and a compliment.
When a true artist makes friends, it’s not about whether they have money or power, but more about whether they have resonance in the spiritual world.
Qiao Yicheng sent a piece of calligraphy, and the other party responded with a painting, and it was also a picture of Nanfeng that was closely related to "Hua Shan Song". What's the meaning? This painting is the response to that calligraphy.
Qiao Yicheng expressed his sincere blessings in words, and the other party expressed his gratitude with this painting.
What is this called, the friendship between gentlemen?
Xiang Beifang has been acting weird and chattering beside him. This is not humiliating him, but slapping his father in the face.
"Calligraphy and painting are valuable, but friendship is priceless. This painting..."
Lin Yue knew what he wanted to say and waved his hand: "Uncle, we will be a family soon. There is no difference between putting it here and putting it with me. You also said that calligraphy and painting are valuable, friendship is priceless, as long as people are here , the friendship is there, there is no need to worry about those red tapes.”
"Hahahaha, well said, well said."
Father Xiang is not only happy but also has an indescribable sense of frustration, because he has always wanted to maintain his elder status, but from the time Qiao Yicheng entered the door to now, this prospective son-in-law has been let down by him in terms of cultural accomplishment, manners, and personal charm. He has the feeling that I have lived for so many years and am not as good as a young person.
"Nanfang, no wonder you went to ask for a fortune-teller when you were a child, and your husband said you were lucky."
Mother Xiang was smiling from ear to ear. Her eyes fully explained what it meant for a mother-in-law to look at her son-in-law, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked him.
"Mom, why do I think you are happier than me?"
The nanny looked at the two of them and chuckled.
…
After the trip to the Xiang family, it can be said that Lin Yue and Xiang Nanfang's marriage is finalized and there is no more suspense.
After the Spring Festival, the Qiao family and the Xiang family had a meal together and made an appointment to get married.
According to Xiang's father's wishes, Labor Day is a good day, but Lin Yue did not agree. The reason was that he had just been promoted to the director of the news center in Taili and had a lot of things to deal with. When everything was on track, the people below would be convinced by him. , it won’t be too late to hold a wedding by then.
In the words of Xiang’s mother, as a man, career is the top priority, as it should be. Moreover, Nanfang has just been transferred to the municipal party committee and is responsible for the work of the surrounding four counties and eight townships. It also requires an adaptation process. Getting married too quickly can easily mess up the family and career. .
So the day was pushed back half a year to either National Day or New Year's Day.
After six months, Qiao Qiqi turned 20. Because he had been learning computers on and off for several years, Qi Weimin found him a job as a typist in the agency. He usually used computers to type, enter data, send and receive emails, etc. The work is not tiring at all.
In summer, cicadas chirp along the Qinhuai River. More and more foreign tourists visit Confucius Temple, adding fuel to the already hot weather.
"Brother, where are you taking me?"
Qiao Qiqi was a little impatient, because Qiao Yicheng took him away from the office. If Qi Weimin couldn't see him later, he would definitely be unhappy. Ever since the last time Wei Shufang went to help Qiao Simei and Qiao Zuwang negotiate an agreement and was disturbed by Qiao Yicheng, Qi Weimin is still angry when talking about this matter.
"You'll know when the time comes."
"You're not going abroad again, are you?"
The red light ahead turned on. Lin Yue stopped the car, looked at Qiao Qiqi's side face and said, "What? Do you miss the days when you went north to Russia and Ukraine?"
Qiao Qiqi nodded gently.
It has been three years since Qiao Yicheng took him abroad. Because of the previous fight with his classmates, Qi Weimin took him very seriously. He would either pick him up and go to school himself, or ask Chang Xingyu to pick him up and drop him off, and educate him every now and then. Be honest and don't be impulsive when things happen, impulsiveness is the devil.
In the past three years, he has lived a life of two points and one line between school, home/workplace, and home. When he opens his eyes every day, he can predict what he will do next.
There are no accidents, no ups and downs, no surprises... Qi Weimin describes this kind of life as stable.
Yes, for those who are married and have a wife and are preparing to have children, stability is excellent, but for a twenty-year-old young man, he does things under the eyes of his elder brother every day, what clothes to wear, what to eat, and even No matter what you say, you have to control it. This is worse than going to prison.
If he has not gone abroad and seen the world, it is not bad to be a frog sitting in a well and looking at the sky. The problem now is that if he has seen the sky and the sea outside, and then goes back to live the life of a prisoner, a day or two is fine, a month or two is fine, but This has been going on for several years, and I'm almost bored to death.
"As long as you do what I say in the next two years, let alone go north to Russia, Ukraine, the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Singapore, and Australia, even if you want to see penguins in Antarctica, it won't be a problem."
"real?"
Qiao Qiqi's eyes lit up.
Lin Yue thought that he was a young man after all. The reason why Qiao Qiqi on TV was dull, cowardly, and useless was largely influenced by Qi Weimin and the living environment he grew up in. As long as someone guides him correctly, he can draw out the youthfulness in him. Human energy.
"Don't rush to be happy yet." Lin Yue said: "The first thing I ask you to do is to start against Qi Weimin's wishes."
Qiao Qiqi couldn't laugh anymore. She looked down at the corner of her clothes and pursed her lips from time to time. She didn't know what she was thinking.
Lin Yue didn't ask, and drove the car outside an old-fashioned tube building not far from the downtown area. He led him into the corridor and stopped in front of a door far away from the corridor.
"This is the dormitory for employees of the electric wire factory. Because it is very close to the police station, the security is good. There is a vegetable market not far to the north and a commercial street to the west."
After he opened the door, he threw the key into Qiao Qiqi's arms.
"Outside is the living room, and there is a bedroom inside, with a bed and basic furniture. It is similar to the house you rented when you were in school. If you are willing to live here, you only need to move in with your personal belongings. If not, There is a bus in front of me that goes directly to Ma Yulin’s community, which is very convenient.”
Qiao Qiqi took a few glances at the environment in the house, and her eyes were fixed on the desk in the living room.
There is a computer there.
The main unit is vertical and looks much more upscale than the 386 or 486 he had in computer school.
"From today on, it's yours."
Lin Yue patted the computer case and pressed the power button. The screen quickly transitioned to the WINDOWS95 startup screen.
"Is this... for me?"
He knows how much it costs to buy one of these. When he graduated last year, Ma Yulin once said to buy him a computer, but Wei Shufang refused to buy it because it was too expensive. This year, Qi Weimin also said that he would save enough money to buy it for him, but there has been no action until today. .
"That's right, it's for you."
Lin Yue said: "Starting from tomorrow, don't do the job of a typist."
Qiao Qiqi looked hesitant: "Will my brother agree?"
"Then it depends on how strong you insist."
Lin Yue pointed to the computer and said, "From now on, this is your job."
Qiao Qiqi looked puzzled: "Use it? What to use it for?"
Lin Yue said: "Playing games."
