President of my beautiful legs
Chapter 048. The Chapter's Dinner
Linjiang City has developed very rapidly during the ten years of reform and opening up.Modern buildings are like scourges, slowly eating away those old blocks and old buildings in the city.
In the city center, there are almost no buildings and scenic spots with Chinese cultural characteristics.At least, our handsome guy Zhan doesn't know where to find the sights and buildings that Ava wants to see in the urban area.
However, Zhan Xu knows that in the suburbs, there are still some historical and cultural heritages that attract tourists.
Among them is the Great North Gate.The Great North Gate is the north gate of the ancient city of Linjiang City.However, due to the changes of the times and the changes in the earth's crust, the high city wall in the past has now sunk underground, and has been fenced by the government.
The walls in this area were excavated by a real estate developer 13 years ago.After it was dug out, the government paid some money to the real estate developer in the name of protecting cultural heritage, and then surrounded the area and slowly restored it to its original appearance.
Why did Zhan Xu know about this place?Because his parents lived in a small neighborhood near the Great North Gate.When he was a child, Zhan Xu often went to Dabeimen to play.
"This is where I want to come." I saw the ancient city wall of Linjiang City.Seeing the scenery of the city wall, Ava immediately picked up the SLR camera in her hand and started shooting.
Zhan Xu looked towards the block behind the city wall, thought for a while and said to Ava: "Ava, my parents' house is over there. I want to go back and have a look later. Can you wait for me?"
When Ava heard Zhan Xu's words, she nodded immediately: "Want to see Zhan's parents? Yes, I'll go with you in a while."
Zhan Xu was somewhat surprised when he heard this.
Who knows, Ava then said: "Zhan, your mother's food must be the most authentic Chinese food, right?"
Hearing this, Zhan Xu couldn't help but smile, it turns out that this tennis goddess is still a foodie.So he nodded and said with a smile: "My mother's cooking is delicious. I'll call her first and ask her to go to the market to buy something."
After speaking, Zhan Xu took out his mobile phone and called home.The call was connected quickly.
It was Zhan Xu's father, Zhan Renguang, who answered the phone.
"Dad, I'll come back for lunch later. Tell Mom to cook more food." Zhan Xu said to his father.
"Are you back? Isn't today Tuesday? You don't have to go to work? Or have you been fired?" Zhan Renguang was puzzled when he heard the words.
"Our company has a visitor today. It happened to be sightseeing at the North Gate of our house. So I planned to come back for a meal. Why, I'm not welcome?" Zhan Xu said with a wry smile.
Ever since he was a child, Zhan Renguang had high expectations for Zhan Xu. Zhan Xu had gone astray before, and the father and son hadn't even spoken to each other for more than a year.Therefore, Zhan Xu also expressed his understanding of his father's doubts.
Zhan Renguang was stunned for a moment, and then coughed dryly: "Is there a visitor? Your mother just went to the market to buy vegetables. I'll give her a call right away."
After hanging up the phone, Zhan Xu took Ava into the small street behind the city wall.There are characteristic buildings of the Republic of China period along this road.Compared with the high-rise buildings in the urban area, Ava prefers such buildings with ethnic characteristics.
Patting and stopping along the way, the two of them are enjoying themselves here.During this time, Lan Yingjie called Zhan Xu.When she learned that Zhan Xu was taking Ava to go shopping, Lan Yingjie said that everything was left to Zhan Xu.
It seems that Lan Yingjie will still be busy in the company for a while.
The two walked in the alley for an hour, until the sky became dusk, and Zhan Xu led Ava towards his home.
Looking at the stone path in front of him, Zhan Xu felt a lot of emotions in his heart.He thought about it carefully, and it seemed that he hadn't come back for a long time.It seems to be after the Spring Festival last year?
Zhan Xu came with guilt in his heart and walked slowly to the door of the house.Not far from the door of the house, Zhan Xu heard the sound of his mother talking to the neighbors from the door.
"Sister-in-law Zhan, why did you buy so many vegetables today? Can the two of you finish eating?" Zhan Xu also recognized the voice of their neighbor, Mrs. Lin.
"Today, our kid brought his friends back for dinner." Wu Meizhen replied with a smile.
"Your family, Zhan Xu, is back? That's what it should be. They all live in the same city, and they don't come back to see you all the time." Aunt Lin then said.
"That kid is busy with work." Wu Meizhen smiled awkwardly.
"Oh, sister-in-law Zhan, we all know that. Zhan Xu, he didn't learn well when he was studying, and now he's living in the city. He's so old and alone, and he hasn't looked for a job yet. You say there will be women in the future With him?" Mrs. Lin said while sighing
Hearing this, Zhan Xu's expression changed. He strode forward and said loudly with a smile: "Sister Lin, it's not your turn to talk about my affairs, right?"
Zhan Xu's voice came over and over again, which made Mrs. Lin stunned.
Zhan Xu's reputation in this small street is not very good either.There were a lot of fights and troubles when I was a child.Mrs. Lin didn't have a good impression of him either.I was still thinking that maybe he came home this time to ask for money.
Just as Mrs. Lin was thinking so, a tall and beautiful figure suddenly appeared beside Zhan Xu: "Zhan, who is your mother?"
Mrs. Lin and Wu Meizhen took a closer look and found that it was a foreign beauty who could speak Chinese.
"Mom, this is a guest of our company. Well, she is a famous French tennis player. Well, you don't know, anyway, you can call her 'Ava'. She speaks Chinese well. " Zhan Xu thought about it and introduced it to his mother.
"You, hello." Wu Meizhen was just an ordinary housewife, and she had never had contact with foreigners, her expression was a little stiff.
On the contrary, Aunt Lin looked at Zhan Xu suspiciously: "You still found a job?"
Zhan Xu smiled: "I'm working in Tianlan Group now, Sister Lin, you're so gossip, do you want me to show you my badge?"
Hearing what Zhan Xu said, Mrs. Lin blushed suddenly, not knowing what to say.He just said that Zhan Xu didn't have a good job, nor could he find a good wife.But he brought a beautiful woman over and said that he joined Tianlan Group.What else can she say now?If you talk nonsense, isn't it just being slapped in the face?
Zhan Xu didn't intend to take care of such eighth women as Mrs. Lin. Seeing that the other party didn't speak, he took Ai Wa back home.
Seeing that Zhan Xu brought back a beautiful foreign woman, Zhan Renguang was also stunned.
No matter, Ai Wa is a self-acquaintance, and she has a great interest in Chinese culture, so it was the first time she ate in the old house in this small street, and she soon became acquainted with Zhan Xu's parents.
Because Zhan Xu called back before, Wu Meizhen bought a lot of vegetables today.It took half an hour, and the dishes she cooked filled the dining table.
"Wow, these are completely different from the Chinese dishes I saw in French restaurants." Ava immediately showed a surprised expression when she saw a table of dishes.
In the city center, there are almost no buildings and scenic spots with Chinese cultural characteristics.At least, our handsome guy Zhan doesn't know where to find the sights and buildings that Ava wants to see in the urban area.
