At the exit of Jiangcheng Airport.
Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan stood together, arm in arm, watching the passengers emerge from the airport, searching for Qin Hongwen's figure.
Qin Tian hadn't planned to pick anyone up, but last night his mother suddenly sent him two messages.
One message was the flight information of Qin Hongwen, and the second message was the departure gate.
There were only these two messages, and no request for him to pick him up.
While having breakfast with Xia Nuannuan, he mentioned this matter, and the result was as it is now.
"There, I see him, Uncle Qin, this way!"
Xia Nuannuan suddenly raised her finger to point in one direction, raised her arm high, and waved, shouting loudly.
Qin Tian's gaze followed, and he quickly located Qin Hongwen in the crowd.
Qin Hongwen also saw them, a look of surprise appearing on his face, a flash of joy in the depths of his eyes, and he walked over quickly, dragging his suitcase.
"Why are you here?"
"We're here to pick you up, let me help you."
Xia Nuannuan smiled sweetly and reached out as if to help carry the suitcase.
"No, no, this is quite heavy, I'll do it myself."
How could Qin Hongwen let her help? He decisively avoided her.
Xia Nuannuan gave Qin Tian a look, signaling him to help.
However, Qin Tian directly pretended not to see.
"The car is over there."
After uttering a few words in a bland tone, he pulled Xia Nuannuan and turned to leave.
"Uncle Qin, you haven't had lunch, have you? Are you hungry? Shall we go eat first?"
Xia Nuannuan turned her head and said to Qin Hongwen.
"I ate a little on the plane, it's fine!"
Qin Hongwen followed with a smile.
He already knew about this future daughter-in-law from his wife and was very fond of her.
After several interactions, he could feel the goodwill of this future daughter-in-law, and he felt very moved and happy.
When they arrived at the parking spot, Qin Tian only helped open the trunk, allowing Qin Hongwen to put the suitcase in himself.
"Uncle Qin, you sit in the front, I'll sit in the back."
Xia Nuannuan wanted to give up the front passenger seat.
"No, I'll sit in the back!"
Qin Hongwen shook his head and refused, then directly opened the back door and got in.
Seeing this, Xia Nuannuan could only sit in the front passenger seat.
Qin Tian silently started the car and drove out of the parking lot.
"Uncle Qin, when is your meeting? Have you booked a hotel?"
Xia Nuannuan turned her head and asked.
"Yes, the institute has arranged a hotel."
Qin Hongwen nodded with a smile and mentioned the name of the hotel.
"Then do you have anything to do this afternoon? Do you want to come back to our place and sit for a while? We can have dinner together in the afternoon."
Xia Nuannuan suggested.
"This..."
Qin Hongwen hesitated, looked at his son in the driver's seat.
He naturally wanted to go, but the key was to see what his son had to say.
"Let's go to the hotel first and leave the luggage."
Qin Tian said calmly.
"Okay, okay!"
Qin Hongwen nodded repeatedly.
Along the way, it was thanks to Xia Nuannuan's best efforts to find topics and communicate with Qin Hongwen, otherwise, one could imagine how oppressive the atmosphere in the car would be.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Qin Hongwen completed the check-in procedures at the front desk, and the three took the elevator upstairs, placing their luggage in the room that had been booked.
Afterward, the three left the hotel and drove away.
...
...
After returning to Moxian Book Garden and parking the car, they arrived at the entrance of the apartment building and saw a familiar figure directing workers to move all sorts of things upstairs.
"Good afternoon, Qin Tian, Xia Nuannuan!"
Lu Yaoyao greeted them with a smile when she saw them.
"Good afternoon."
Xia Nuannuan nodded politely in response.
"I bought a second-hand house that was already renovated, it's just above you, and I'm moving in today."
Lu Yaoyao raised her finger to point upstairs and said with a smile.
Hearing this, both Qin Tian and Xia Nuannuan were speechless.
But it was their freedom to buy and sell, and they couldn't say anything.
Qin Hongwen's confused gaze swept across the three faces, feeling that the atmosphere was a bit strange.
"Who is this?"
Lu Yaoyao saw Qin Hongwen and asked.
"This is Uncle Qin."
Xia Nuannuan glanced at the silent Qin Tian and still helped to introduce him.
Lu Yaoyao's eyes lit up, a warm smile appeared on her face, and then she delivered a flattering compliment.
"Hello, Uncle Qin. No wonder I thought you and Qin Tian looked so alike, you're both so handsome, and your temperaments are also very similar!"
"Hello!"
Qin Hongwen was a little stunned by the compliment and nodded with a smile.
"Let's go!"
Qin Tian didn't want to deal with this woman, so he pulled Xia Nuannuan into the building.
Qin Hongwen followed.
"Uncle Qin, I live upstairs. Come up for a cup of tea with Qin Tian when you have time!"
Lu Yaoyao invited with a bright smile.
Qin Hongwen looked at her, just smiled, and said nothing.
"Nuannuan, was that your friend just now?"
Qin Hongwen asked after they got into the elevator.
Xia Nuannuan showed a slightly awkward smile, not knowing how to answer.
"No!"
Qin Tian suddenly uttered two words.
Qin Hongwen glanced at him, even more confused.
"That girl likes him."
Xia Nuannuan explained casually.
Qin Hongwen's expression brightened, and he looked at his son with a strange look.
It seemed that this son was really too much like him when he was young; he was also admired and pursued by many girls when he was studying.
"So that girl bought a house on your floor?"
Qin Hongwen asked again.
Xia Nuannuan nodded with a dry laugh.
At this moment, the elevator arrived at the sixth floor.
"Uncle Qin, look, that's mine, and this side is what my brother bought with his own money."
Xia Nuannuan pointed to the two houses and introduced them to Qin Hongwen with a sweet smile.
"Good, good, very good."
Qin Hongwen nodded repeatedly with a smile, and when he looked at his son again, a trace of guilt appeared in his eyes.
His son was more outstanding than he had imagined. This house should have been bought by him, the father.
After entering the house, the dog immediately ran over happily to greet them.
Upon seeing a stranger, the dog immediately became vigilant, staring at Qin Hongwen and barking.
"Woof... Woof woof..."
"Summer, be good, don't bark!"
Xia Nuannuan squatted down, touched the dog's head, and turned to Qin Hongwen, saying, "Her name is Summer, she's a dog we adopted a while ago."
Qin Hongwen smiled and nodded.
After entering the living room, Xia Nuannuan began to busy herself, first turning on the TV, then serving tea and water.
Qin Tian sat quietly on the other side of the sofa, holding Summer and petting her head.
Xia Nuannuan went to get some snacks and placed them on the small round coffee table.
"Uncle Qin, please have some snacks to tide you over."
"Okay, okay, don't bother yourself, sit down and rest!"
Qin Hongwen said with a smile.
Xia Nuannuan responded, then sat down next to Qin Tian.
"Did you two do the renovation of this house yourselves?"
Qin Hongwen took a sip of his tea and asked curiously, looking around.
"Yes, yes, Brother did it all. He's very capable, and he can even draw renovation blueprints."
Xia Nuannuan said with a smile.
"It's done quite well!"
Qin Hongwen nodded in approval.
