"This is it." Pan's mother understood immediately when she heard it.
She and Pan's father looked at each other, and then said with a smile, "I have discussed this with your father. Although we also want to live in the same place as you. But, you see, we don't understand English.
Life is very inconvenient when we get there, and some of our old friends are also in China. So, from my perspective, your dad and I are still living in China. After you and Fred get married, if there is
It’s empty, just come back and see us every year.”
After hearing this, Xichen actually already guessed that the answer given by his parents would be like this.
After all, if they arrive in the UK, they will have to make new friends again, and since they are older, they will not be able to learn the language very quickly. Life will definitely be very inconvenient by then.
Therefore, although she asked, deep down in her heart, she had already expected the answer given by her parents.
Suddenly, the atmosphere at the dinner table became a little quiet.
Seeing this, Fred quickly said: "Father-in-law, mother-in-law, if Xichen and I are too busy, we can also have someone pick you up and take you to England to stay for a while, and then send you back to China."
"Well, Fred is right, Xichen, when the time comes, you and your mother and I can live at both ends. Not only can you come to visit us, we can also come to visit you."
Pan's father saw that Xichen seemed to be a little depressed after listening to Pan's mother's words, so he smiled and said.
"Well, Mom and Dad, you are right. Anyway, there are planes now, so it is very convenient to go back and forth."
Xichen spoke with an extremely forced smile on his face.
During those years in the UK, she always thought that she would eventually return to her country.
Therefore, I miss Pan's parents more than Pan's mother, rather than being reluctant to say goodbye.
But now that she was really going to settle in the UK, she felt so reluctant that she couldn't bear to leave.
Therefore, even the smile on his face looked so unnatural.
However, after thinking about it, Fred was right, they could have someone pick up their parents and go to England for a short stay together.
In this way, Xichen felt a little relieved.
After lunch, Fred and Xichen did not leave. Under the warm invitation of Pan's father and Pan's mother, they decided to have dinner here too.
It happened that today was Saturday again, so they decided to stay here for one night and leave after lunch tomorrow.
In the afternoon, Pan's father enthusiastically took Fred aside to watch TV and sip tea.
Fred bought some fine tea when he came last time, but he has been reluctant to drink it.
Now that Fred is here, it's just a good time to entertain him, and he can drink some himself.
Pan's mother went shopping with Xichen.
It's been a long time since the mother and daughter went out for a walk together.
There happened to be a large shopping mall nearby, and it was the season change. Pan's mother wanted to buy a new piece of clothing, so she took her daughter to the shopping mall together.
Throughout the afternoon, Pan's mother and Xichen walked around the mall for several hours.
Finally, she finally settled on an off-white woolen coat.
When Xichen saw this, he immediately wanted to buy it for Pan's mother.
However, Pan's mother stopped her and said, "It's so expensive, so I'd better buy it myself."
"Oh, Mom..." Xichen called out coquettishly, and then said, "It's rare for you to buy a dress. As a daughter, can I not buy it for you? Besides, this is for my mother.
, no matter how expensive a daughter is, she will be willing to give it up."
After Xichen finished speaking, with a sweet smile on his pretty face, he took out the card from his bag and handed it to the salesperson who had been standing beside the two of them waiting.
This coat is indeed quite expensive. It costs 1,800 yuan.
If Xichen bought it herself, she would definitely be reluctant to part with it.
But Pan’s mother likes it, and of course she won’t be stingy about spending money on her mother.
What's more, Pan's father and Pan's mother are always frugal and rarely spend money on clothes.
If they buy a piece of clothing, they can often wear it for several years without buying a new one.
Now it's rare that Pan's mother wants to buy it. As a daughter, she has the opportunity to fulfill her filial piety. Naturally, she won't back down.
As the two walked back together, Pan's mother was holding the clothes she bought for her daughter, and the smile on her face never stopped.
"Xichen, your dad and I can see that Fred is really good to you. You must catch such a good man. For a man like him, the women around him are like this.
He's watching like a wolf. If you don't keep a close eye on him, he might be snatched away by another woman one day."
As Pan's mother walked, she taught her daughter how to control her husband.
"Oh, Mom, you think too much. Fred is not that kind of person."
Although Xichen also knew that Fred must be very popular with women, she trusted Fred more as a person.
If any woman can seduce him away, then no matter how tight she is, what's the use?
"Oh, you're already talking to him like this before you get married? I still remember the first time you came back with him, you said you weren't sure about your feelings. In just a few days, your heart has already moved towards
It’s a family.”
When Pan's mother heard Xichen's words, she immediately joked.
Undoubtedly, it provoked a burst of coquettish complaints from Xichen.
"But it's right for you to trust him so much. Xichen, mom believes in you and you can definitely handle your own affairs."
As Pan's mother spoke, she put her hand on Xichen's hand, her tone full of the joy of an elder talking to a younger one.
Xichen could feel that her mother's hands, which had been fair and delicate when she was young, had gradually lost weight.
My hands began to wrinkle at some point, and there was a thick layer of calluses accumulated over the years in my palms.
"Well, mom, don't worry. I won't let you down."
As Xichen spoke, he felt the tip of his nose was sore, and his eyes were filled with tears.
When she thought about being so far away from her parents in the future and not being able to see them often, she couldn't help but feel sad.
"Silly boy, why are you crying?"
When Pan's mother saw this, she said with a hint of anger in her voice: "If your dad and Fred see me when we come in later, they will think that I bullied you."
With a "Puch" sound, Xichen burst out laughing when he heard what Pan's mother said.
"Mom, they are not fools. You are my mother and no one else. How could you bully me?"
As Xichen spoke, he stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears in his eyes.
While they were talking, the two of them had already walked downstairs. They saw a sweet smile on Xichen's pretty face and said, "Come on, let's go up."
