Although it was their first meeting, the young couple quickly gained favor with Hong Shuxin.
At the beginning, Hong Shuxin still called the two of them Ronaldinho and Xiao Li.
After a while, they became Yan Ning and Jiajia.
From the names before and after, we can clearly detect the gradual and progressive relationship between the three people.
"Yanning, Jiajia, if you two come to the capital from now on and have no place to eat, come to Grandma Hong's and I will make dumplings for you. Our old businessmen like to eat the dumplings I make the most."
What Hong Shuxin said was sincere and she was really not being polite to the two of them.
In the north, the guests served by the host's family with dumplings are all distinguished guests.
The number of guests that Shang Yunqing and Hong Shuxin regard as distinguished guests can be counted on one hand.
Shang Yunqing and Hong Shuxin have been married for decades. Due to some reasons, they still have no children.
The first time she saw Luo Yanning and Li Ruijia, Hong Shuxin liked them very much.
After chatting for a while, she fell in love with the two of them even more.
At this point, he almost regarded the two of them as his own children.
Li Ruijia said with a smile: "Grandma Hong, when it comes to making dumplings, our Master Luo is an expert in this field. Let him show us his skills later."
"Oh? Really? Ronaldinho can actually make dumplings? Today's young people order takeout in the morning, noon and evening, let alone making dumplings. There are very few people who can cook noodles, but Ronaldinho can actually make dumplings."
Hong Shuxin looked at Luo Yanning in slight surprise, feeling incredible.
Luo Yanning smiled modestly and said: "It's just a small hobby..."
Hong Shuxin nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, that's great. I see that young people nowadays are either playing with mobile phones, computers or games. People like Yan Ning who like to cook are really rare and very rare."
"Grandma Hong, please don't listen to Master Luo's modesty. Anyone who knows him well knows that his dumplings are delicious on the tip of the tongue. You will never get tired of eating them. Even if you eat them every day, they are delicious every time."
Li Ruijia touched her belly and pouted and said: "Since I met Master Luo, my appetite is getting better day by day, and I eat more every day. I have gained a lot of weight."
Hong Shuxin said with a smile: "Really? Then I have to ask Yan Ning for advice later. We old businessmen also love to eat dumplings. We want to eat them every two days. Our family can't eat dumplings more times every month."
10 times."
Luo Yanning smiled and said: "Grandma Hong, this is too flattering to me. I don't dare to ask for advice. At most, it is... a discussion, yes, at most, it is just a discussion."
"If you say we should learn from each other, let's learn from each other. Let's discuss and learn from each other later." Hong Shuxin smiled happily. It has been a long time since she smiled so frequently as she did today.
She and Shang Yunqing were usually the only two people at home, and Mr. Shang was a mature, steady and somewhat serious person. Although they loved each other and respected each other as guests, they rarely laughed as much as they did today.
As soon as Hong Shuxin finished speaking, the door clicked softly and opened from the outside. A man with a serious Chinese character face, a tall and straight figure, and an air of calmness and authority entered the house from the outside.
The man had an ordinary short crew cut, and his head was full of white hair, as if there was no black hair left.
"Hey! My little guest is here. I haven't seen him for a year. Xiao Yanning looks much more mature than before. It seems that running a scenic spot is still very tempering."
When Shang Yunqing saw Luo Yanning and Li Ruijia standing up from the sofa, he said hello to them with a smile.
"Grandpa Shang, you are back. I haven't seen you for a long time, but you are still so energetic."
Luo Yanning first greeted Shang Yunqing with a smile, then pointed at Li Ruijia and introduced:
"This is my girlfriend Li Ruijia, Jiajia, and this is Grandpa Shang Yun Qingshang."
Li Ruijia smiled and greeted Shang Yunqing respectfully: "Hello, Grandpa Shang, I am Yan Ning's girlfriend Li Ruijia. This is our first meeting. Please take good care of me."
"Yanning has good taste. The girlfriend she found is very beautiful and sensible. Your grandfather will definitely be very happy that he is alive in heaven."
As Shang Yunqing spoke, he walked to the sofa and greeted the two of them:
"Everyone, please sit down. When you come to grandpa's place, it's just like coming to your own home. There's no need to be formal."
"Thank you, Grandpa Shang." Luo Yanning and Li Ruijia said at the same time. They waited until Shang Yunqing sat down before they sat down.
Hong Shuxin smiled and joked: "The three of us were chatting happily. As soon as you came back, the atmosphere suddenly became much more serious."
Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "Oh? It seems that I came back at the wrong time? How about I go out for a walk again?"
Hong Shuxin said with a smile: "There is no reason to leave the guests at home while the host goes out for a walk.
Yan Ning and Jiajia are here specifically for you today.
If you don't want to entertain others at home, why do you want to run out?"
Shang Yunqing was surprised when he heard his lover call Luo Yanning and Li Ruijia.
They have been married for so many years, and this is the first time he has seen Hong Shuxin address a guest so affectionately.
Combined with the fact that she kept saying "we are three mothers", it seemed that the three of them had just had a good chat.
"Ahem..." Luo Yanning coughed twice and corrected with a smile, "Not all of them are here for Grandpa Shang, half of them are for Grandma Hong."
After Shang Yunqing heard Luo Yanning's words, not only was he not angry, but he laughed and said:
"Hahaha~ Your kid's flattery skills are much better than your grandpa's.
If he had half as much effort as you, he wouldn't have offended so many people."
Luo Yanning smiled and said: "Ahem, Grandpa Shang has given me the award. I don't have any flattery skills. I am a down-to-earth person and like to tell the truth."
Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "It's so honest to tell you the truth, I almost believed your kid's lies."
Hong Shuxin was also a little surprised when she saw her husband laughing and scolding with Luo Yanning, looking relaxed and happy.
My husband, who is usually serious and solemn, would never talk to guests like this. He always has a straight face and an extremely serious look.
"It seems that Old Shang also likes this child Yanning very much?" After decades of being married, Hong Shuxin and Shang Yunqing have reached a state of understanding. From the look in his eyes at Luo Yanning, it can be seen that he really cares about this young man.
like.
"By the way, Yan Ning, did you bring that painting? Come and show me the real thing."
When he mentioned painting, Shang Yunqing suddenly became energetic, as if he wasn't the one who just said he wanted to go out for a walk.
"There are many details that cannot be seen in the pictures online. Even so, among all the paintings I have seen, it is already excellent. The real thing is definitely more exquisite."
"I've brought it, I'll give it to you." Luo Yanning nodded, got up, walked to the door, took a scroll and returned to the living room.
Putting the scroll on the coffee table, Luo Yanning untied the rope holding the scroll, pushed it with his fingers, and spread the scroll on the coffee table.
"Be careful, be careful... don't let the ink fly."
Shang Yunqing looked on with some fear, fearing that Luo Yanning would damage the painting.
The scroll was unfolded, and the Great Wall painted by Luo Yanning was displayed in front of everyone.
"What a great painting. The painting skills, the lines, the viewing angle, and the interlacing of light and dark are all just right!"
"The inking is also very particular. Every stroke is just right, without any unnecessary movements."
"This artistic conception and momentum far exceed all the paintings I have collected!"
"Yanning, this... was really painted by you? It's so rare, so rare, it's simply unbelievable."
"Without decades of painting skills, I would never have been able to paint such a magnificent painting."
"You are still so young, it's...incredible, it's incredible!"
After seeing the original painting painted by Luo Yanning, Shang Yunqing was amazed and amazed.
Shang Yunqing had three major hobbies in his life: smoking, drinking, and collecting.
Especially he likes to collect "Great Wall paintings".
Shang Yunqing's hometown is in a small village near Badaling.
He grew up at the foot of the Great Wall and has deep feelings for it.
The Badaling Great Wall can be developed so well and have the glory it has today, which is inseparable from the attention that Shang Yunqing paid to it during his reign, and it is also inseparable from his strong support.
Hong Shuxin listened to her husband's praise of Luo Yanning, and then looked at the paintings made by him, and her affection for this junior grew even further.
He has a lovable personality, is well-liked by his husband, and is very capable. Most importantly, he can actually cook and make dumplings. Who wouldn't like such an outstanding junior?
"Okay, okay, very good, very good, Yan Ning, your painting skills are amazing!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that even the professors from the two universities in northern Qing Dynasty are not at your level."
After appreciating Luo Yanning's paintings, Shang Yunqing turned to look at Luo Yanning, gave him a thumbs up and sincerely praised him.
His words were not an exaggeration. Pu Dongjin, who Luo Yanning used his strength to slap on the face on the Great Wall, was the foreign teacher invited by Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts from Korea to exchange with the school.
Luo Yanning smiled modestly and said: "Grandpa Shang Miao praised me. Compared with my amateur level, there is still a certain gap between me and other professional professors."
Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "You kid, don't be so modest. The Korean you taught me yesterday is a professor from the Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts."
"Oh? That foreigner turned out to be a professor at Tsinghua Academy of Fine Arts?" Luo Yanning was a little surprised when he heard about the identity of the Korean man yesterday. He really didn't expect that the other person actually had such an identity.
"Yes, as far as I know, that Korean is called Park Dongjin, and he is the best at painting the Great Wall at the Seoul Academy of Fine Arts. Otherwise, he would not dare to be so crazy in our country."
Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "It's a pity that he met you. This time you taught him a lesson, letting him know that there are people outside the world, and there is a world outside the world."
"I didn't think much about it at the time. I just felt angry after listening to a buddy translate what he said, so I stood up."
Luo Yanning smiled modestly and never mentioned the special task of [National Honor].
Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "No matter how you say it, no matter what the reason is, you have used your strength to win glory for our country this time, and taught those Koreans who want to seize everything a lesson."
Hong Shuxin comforted her and said with a smile: "Well done, Yan Ning. If the young people in our country can be as outstanding as you, we will not be far away from our great rejuvenation and from being on top of the world again."
Shang Yunqing smiled and said: "Young people as outstanding as Yan Ning are rare no matter which country they are in. How can they all be as outstanding as him?"
"Yes, there are too few all-rounders like Yan Ning, and it will be rare to find one in a hundred years."
Hong Shuxin looked at Luo Yanning, and the more she looked at him, the more pleasing she became.
Luo Yanning listened to the two people praising her, and she couldn't laugh or cry:
"Grandpa Shang, Grandma Hong, can you two stop praising me? If you praise me any more, I'll be proud."
Hong Shuxin said: "You should be proud. We are all proud of you too."
Shang Yunqing also sighed: “It’s true that the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead, and each generation becomes stronger than the last.
Yan Ning, you are so much better than your grandfather and I.
I have a hunch that you will become a great person in the future."
Luo Yanning smiled awkwardly and said: "Well... let's forget whether it's great or not.
I'm just an ordinary citizen.
Having enough to eat and drink will allow the people you care about and love to live a good life.
Such a simple life is enough for me."
Shang Yunqing pointed at Luo Yanning and said with a smile: "You, you are as humble as your grandfather. You are worthy of being a father-in-law."
"Really..." Luo Yanning touched her nose and smiled awkwardly, and the voice and smile of the deceased old man also appeared in her mind.
Shang Yunqing said with a nostalgic look on his face: "Your grandfather told me more than once.
In the future, Heilongshan Scenic Area will definitely become as popular as Badaling Great Wall.
Even if you can't become globally famous, you still have to become famous domestically. It's a pity..."
Luo Yanning breathed a long sigh of relief and said with a serious face: "I will continue to do what grandpa failed to do, which can be regarded as fulfilling his long-cherished wish and comforting his spirit in heaven."
"You are stronger than us, and you are still so young. Your grandfather's long-cherished wish will definitely come true in the near future."
"Yes, youth is capital and represents infinite possibilities. Yan Ning is so good and will definitely achieve great things in the future."
Hong Shuxin looked at Luo Yanning with eyes filled with relief. She believed in her husband's vision.
The two have been married for decades, and Luo Yanning is the only young man who can be so praised by her husband.
Li Ruijia felt proud as she listened to Shang Yunqing and Hong Shuxin praising their Master Luo.
In her heart, her Master Luo is the most outstanding man in the world, bar none.
She feels extremely lucky and honored to be Master Luo's girlfriend.
