Mo Yan Appreciation

It's just casual emotion.This time I went to the Northeast, I saw that the Chinese people really don’t respect other people’s privacy. One of them, who claimed to be my father’s cousin, asked my parents how much their monthly salary and the size of the house are. It’s really funny. . "

Zhongxu was not very comfortable hearing this, and wanted to reply to the other party, you are also Chinese, you shouldn’t criticize your own countrymen like this, but in the end, you couldn’t say anything, thinking that the other party didn’t intend to come, after all, the other party is in France Born and raised, there are some differences in cultural views and values, which are also excusable.At least he knew that Eric wasn't a bad guy.

Eric asked Zhongxu, "How should I explain our relationship, do your parents know your sexual orientation?"

Zhongxu replied: "It's fine to tell the truth. My family already knew about my situation, and they didn't object. Also, my father has passed away."

Although Zhongxu didn't officially admit it, everyone in the Zhong family knew and acquiesced to Eric's identity. This is the first time since Zhongxu came out of the closet, and it may be the first time that Zhongxu brought his "companion" back to the old house as a guest, which is very meaningful. Everyone attaches great importance to it.

Perhaps few of these people really accept homosexuality, but everyone loves Zhongxu and cares about Zhongxu, and they just love Eric.

Zhongxu sometimes felt that he was a little too much, especially for Mrs. Zhong. The old lady didn't know what homosexuality was all her life, and she did it reluctantly, but it was just for him.But he has never done anything for her, and because of his inaction all the time, she has been criticized as a mother.

Zhong Xu couldn't help but think back to the time when he just became the principal of Rongsheng Middle School, the proud and contented look of the old lady at home finally let her down.

Zhong Xu and Eric were sitting in the main living room of the old house, accompanied by the old lady of the Zhong family, the third sister of the Zhong family, her brother-in-law, and the newly married Zhong Shengnan and his wife.Only Zhong Shengnan's younger brother was not included in the list. I heard that he was a guest at a classmate's house. Zhong Xu can probably guess the reason for it. His identity is a bit embarrassing after all. easy to explain.

Zhong Xu introduced both parties one by one, but after the introduction, the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

Miss Zhong San asked Zhong Xu: "Does your friend speak Chinese?"

Zhongxu asked Eric this question in French, and Eric replied to Miss Zhongsan in broken Chinese: "Speak slowly, I can understand."

Miss Zhong San had no choice but to slow down her speech, and told him word for word: "You are welcome to our house as a guest. We are very grateful for Zhong Xu's entrusting you to take care of me these few years." : "He can understand Chinese, but he can only understand Mandarin. Do you always want to ask something?" The old lady spoke with a strong local accent, so Eric couldn't understand it.

The old lady quickly waved her hand, "No need, just say hello to him for me."

Miss Zhongsan smiled and said in dialect: "Mom, you are old, it should be him who always greets you!"

As soon as they spoke in dialect, Eric couldn't understand. He looked at Zhongxu with blank eyes, feeling a little helpless, while Zhong Shengnan and his wife were just accompanying guests and rarely spoke. For a formal and important conversation, it ended hastily.

When Zhong Xu was leaving, he overheard Zhong Shengnan's newlywed wife whispering to Zhong Shengnan with a smile in dialect: "Your little uncle is really interesting!"

Zhong Xu naturally knew that this was not the other, but Zhong Shengnan didn't make a sound.

Ms. Zhong San asked Zhong Xu in private: "Is it okay to have Chinese food at noon? This is more formal, but I don't know how he uses chopsticks? Of course, steak and snails are also prepared, as well as fruit salad and caviar."

Zhongxu had never thought about these details before. In his memory, Eric could use chopsticks, so he could answer any sentence.In his opinion, it's just a meal, it doesn't matter if it tastes good or not.

The other party asked again: "Is it red wine or white wine? Do some dishes need chili?"

Zhong Xu frowned, "Let's put less chili peppers! It's better to open red wine, he may not be used to drinking white wine, just open a bottle, so as not to get drunk, and I'm afraid I have to drive later."

Miss Zhongsan laughed, "I'm afraid we don't have a driver!" Then she asked, "Are you going out this afternoon?"

Zhongxu felt quite embarrassed, "I still have to help Eric find a place to live!"

Ms. Zhongsan said, "There is no home outside where you can live comfortably. He came all the way to China, and we let him stay in a hotel. It is obvious that our countrymen are too indifferent."

Zhong Xu looked troubled, so he could only say: "Then I will ask him for his opinion later."

The two were discussing, when Zhong Shengnan came over, he said to Miss Zhongsan: "Mom, prepare an extra seat later, I also invited a friend over, he is helping me plan the honeymoon."

Miss Zhong San didn't seem very happy, so she asked him, "Which friend?"

Zhong Shengnan glanced at Zhong Xu, and replied indifferently with three words: "Li Moyan."

When Zhong Xu heard the name, he immediately frowned, subconsciously glanced at Zhong Shengnan, but the other party didn't look at him again.Zhongxu guessed that this was not such a coincidence, but the other party was not asking for his opinion after all, so he couldn't say anything, he thought to himself, Miss Zhongsan would not allow an outsider to be present on such an occasion.

Unexpectedly, Ms. Zhongsan just oh, and then readily agreed. Judging from the situation, she seems to be no stranger to this Li Moyan.

Zhong Xu's complexion was not very good, he knew that Li Moyan was not a cheap lamp, and he was afraid that the other party would provoke something again.

Sure enough, Li Moyan came. He greeted the old lady and Miss Zhongsan and his wife, and then walked towards Zhongxu, but Zhongxu suddenly turned around at this moment, turning a blind eye to his greetings, and Li Moyan did not continue to pester , which made Zhongxu heave a sigh of relief.

Lunch was ready soon, and everyone sat down one after another. Zhongxu and Li Moyan happened to sit diagonally opposite each other, but Zhongxu never looked at Li Moyan.

Unexpectedly, it was such an overly distant behavior that caught Miss Zhong San's attention. She smiled and asked Zhong Xu: "Little brother? What's wrong with you? Don't you remember Mo Yan? He is Sheng Nan's classmate, you He used to be his principal!"

Zhongxu realized his mistake, forced a smile, had to glance at Li Moyan, made an expression of sudden understanding, nodded towards the other party, and while expressing welcome, he explained: "Sorry, it's been too long, I don't know Forget about it."

Before Li Moyan could reply, Eric was taken aback and asked Zhongxu, "Alex, have you ever been a principal?!"

Eric said this in French, but Li Moyan understood, and he replied with a smile: "There are many things you don't know!"

It may be that Li Moyan spoke too fast, and Eric didn't understand, so he asked again in broken Chinese: "What did you say?"

Li Moyan raised his eyebrows, and answered Eric with a pure French accent: "I said, there are many things you don't know about the Alex in your mouth! You call him Alex, but we all call him Zhongxu." , Zhao Zhongxu smiled, and said: "Principal Zhong, you are safe and sound! When I was in Rongsheng, I was grateful for your care. I have never had a chance to express my gratitude. Please allow me to borrow flowers to present Buddha. Here, I respect you and you first." Have a drink with my friend." After that, he raised his glass with both hands and took a sip first.

Zhongxu was put on the stage, and he would not be able to get off the stage if he didn't drink, but he had no choice but to drink.

Because of the language barrier, Eric will inevitably have some problems when communicating with Zhong's family, but Li Moyan is eloquent and eloquent, stirring up a few topics from time to time, so that the atmosphere will not be too cold.

What's even more rare is that Mrs. Zhong and Miss Zhongsan like him very much. It seems that he has been a regular visitor here for a long time. Li Moyan knows their hobbies like the back of his hand, making them laugh all the time, and even making Zhongsan Xu's own son and younger brother are all ashamed of themselves.

Li Moyan said: "Grandma, try this snowflake crab bucket. I know you miss Suzhou cuisine. I specially asked them to recommend a cook from Deyuelou. The hairy crabs from Yangcheng Lake were airlifted from Kunshan this morning." Yes, it's fresh and plump, and it's autumn, so it's not a good time to eat crabs."

When the old lady heard this, she immediately became interested and asked him: "Is it Deyue Tower? I only ate there once when I was a child. At that time, I only heard the name and thought it was very elegant and the food was top-notch. Yes." The old man thought that he hadn't returned to Suzhou for many years, and when he recalled the past, he seemed to be filled with emotion.

Li Moyan smiled and replied, "It's good if you like it all the time! But eating too much crab hurts your stomach, so you should try it all the time, otherwise Auntie will blame me and say that I don't care about your body. You can try this squirrel mandarin fish , the taste is also very good.”

The old lady took a sip, then raised her big finger, and praised: "As expected of the master of Deyuelou, the craftsmanship is beyond words!"

Miss Zhongsan took a sip of it and praised her again and again, "Mo Yan is still the most caring. I said you came so late today, so it turned out that you went to make arrangements for these things."

Li Moyan put down the bowl and chopsticks, and replied respectfully, he said: "Auntie, you are too polite, my parents are not around, you and uncle treat me as their own son, I am very grateful, I will be like Shengnan in the future , to be filial to you and uncle."

When Miss Zhongsan heard this, she hurriedly pulled the old lady aside
