This is not the first time that he has visited her as a guest. Not only Ding Wei, but also Xie Yan's parents feel much more relaxed now.
God knows, the two of them racked their brains to find a topic last time. They were afraid that the topic they found was not good and people would have opinions. But if they didn't find a topic, they were afraid that people would have opinions.
All in all, it's quite difficult.
It's still early now, but it's about two o'clock in the afternoon, and there are four people in total, plus Xie Yan's parents are a little more relaxed now that they are facing Ding Wei, so there is no need to prepare the dinner in a big way.
When Ding Wei came in, the couple was sitting on the sofa watching TV.
"Weiwei is here!"
When she saw someone, she thanked her mother, Zhao Yunjing, and immediately pushed her husband and hurried to get her some food.
Their way of being nice to people is very straightforward, just giving them food and drink, as if Ding Wei is a member of the family and doesn't even have the basics of polite greetings when entering the house.
Ding Wei couldn't help but feel a little funny, and felt a little warm in her heart.
After traveling thousands of miles away from home on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, now I feel this long-lost warmth in someone else's home. Speaking of which, it is really rare.
In particular, Xie Yan's parents are both very direct characters and don't seem to be caring. They are completely different from their son.
So, how can the mentality of thanking dad and mom make Xie Yan so thoughtful?
Is it possible that a negative makes a positive?
This is not even close to that level.
…
After all the delicious food and drinks were put on the table, a few people had time to sit down and talk.
And Ding Wei took out the gifts she picked out in the mall:
"Uncle, I see there is a new set of bookmarks in the mall. They are quite stylish."
It was a set of ancient bronze hollow bookmarks, and the hollow carvings were the Twelve Hairpins of Jinling. As soon as Xie Guo received it, he was immediately surprised by the heavy feel. Then he took a closer look at the figures and couldn't help but be very happy!
"Not bad, good workmanship. Which mall sells it? Why didn't I see it? What else are there?"
Ding Wei quickly replied:
"The one in front of our community has all four classics, but the others are incomplete. Only this set is neat."
Xie Guo was overjoyed: "I'll go and have a look after get off work another day!"
After saying that, he turned around and took his things into the study.
Who says a middle-aged man can't be an artistic middle-aged man?
Even though Ding Wei had experienced Xie's father's obsession with books last time, she couldn't help but feel a little funny now.
But how should I put it? It must be very comfortable to get along with such people, because there is no need to care too much.
"Thank you, old man."
Zhao Yunjing was a little dissatisfied - this was a gift from her future daughter-in-law. Without saying a few words, she went back to the study room without knowing how to do anything.
Alas, their family has to rely on themselves to maintain relationships.
Her thoughts changed, and when she saw Ding Wei taking out another small box, she couldn't help but look expectantly.
Ding Wei:……
This eager and expectant look is really stressful!
So, Xie Yan really has a genetic mutation.
…
She opened the box, and inside was a small cross-shaped buckle of rose gold with two shiny pearls embedded in it. It looked like two rings crossed together vertically and horizontally.
"What's this?"
Zhao Yunjing became interested.
Ding Wei smiled particularly tenderly at her future mother-in-law.
Alas, she was actually thirty years old in her last life. The future mother-in-law in front of me is only forty-six years old this year.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
But he became determined again.
——There is a gap of more than ten years, so it’s okay to call her aunt.
Otherwise, why can children call many girls in their 10s and 20s aunty? The age gap between them is not that big!
And there is nothing to fear about age, as long as she works hard enough, when Xie Yan says to herself: "Sister, I don't want to work hard anymore," she can do it too!
Thinking about it this way, it seems like I am awesome again!
…
In short, ignore this embarrassing thought. Ding Wei explained to Zhao Yunjing: "Auntie, this is a silk scarf button. When spring gets warmer and the big scarf is no longer needed, you will have to wear those silk scarves.
"
"There are many patterns for silk scarves, but sometimes they tend to fall apart when tied, so I specially picked a silk scarf buckle. When the time comes, I can wear the silk scarf inside to make patterns. I can create several styles!"
"And this itself is also a kind of decoration, very beautiful."
In 2005, silk scarf buttons were not very popular, so Ding Wei finally found this when she went to a Japanese and Korean style jewelry store in a shopping mall.
This thing is not made of real money, but the price is really expensive compared to similar things, and the quality is quite good.
Zhao Yunjing also expressed interest:
"How do you know I love wearing silk scarves?"
There was a soft light in her eyes: "Did Xie Yan tell you?"
"This silly boy, I thought he didn't even pay attention to me. Before, your uncle said that I was in the way of doing that thing..."
As he spoke, he glanced at his son angrily.
"This kid is nothing like his dad. He keeps all his thoughts in his heart. He's so weird."
Xie Yan:……
Ding Wei:……
Xie Yan, a silly guy, can't tell anything about his preferences. It's just food and drink, but those can't be given as gifts.
Or Ding Wei thought of her aunt’s travel essentials that went viral on the Internet in her previous life——
Sunglasses, silk scarf, travel shoes.
Everyone is familiar with the tricks of taking photos. Considering her age, Ding Wei guessed that Xie Yan's mother must also like silk scarves.
Now it seems that it is indeed true.
This small gift was placed in the milk drink she was carrying. It was inconspicuous at all, but it made people feel very solemn. It also reflected Ding Wei's many years of career experience.
But no matter what, Ding Wei was also very happy that Xie Yan's parents were so good-tempered and were so happy about the gift she gave her.
…
--That's great.
After all, with her temper, if she encounters a sarcastic future mother-in-law, she might not be able to fight with her?
Therefore, you must cherish this emotion and maintain the relationship of this family.
After all, no matter how close the relationship is, it still needs to be maintained.
She became more and more determined in her belief. Now she looked at Zhao Yunjing with a somewhat expectant look and couldn't help but take the initiative to speak:
"Auntie, do you want to try this scarf button first?"
Zhao Yunjing's eyes lit up instantly!
"Whatever you want, come here, Weiwei, I'll show you my silk scarf. If you like it, I'll take you to the mall to buy it when spring comes!"
Ding Wei:……
Well, she also likes silk scarves, but she likes to tie them to bags, belts, or even shoelaces...
It’s just that it’s rarely worn around the neck.
But at this moment, this was not the point, so she pulled Xie Yan and followed with interest to refer to the various ways to tie silk scarves.
…
By the time the couple finally gave up, Xie Guo had already finished admiring his set of bookmarks.
Zhao Yunjing also memorized the six fancy knotting methods of silk scarf buttons. Both of them were satisfied and then turned their eyes to the TV again.
"oops!"
Zhao Yunjing sighed: "I didn't even watch the TV show just now!"
Nowadays, there is no Internet TV, so the replay function is naturally not available. Fortunately, there are many places where popular dramas are replayed. Zhao Yunjing sighed and continued to watch it with gusto.
While watching, he also chatted with Ding Weila——
Thank God, after the last time they cried while watching TV together, the relationship between the two seems to be a little deeper, and the topic is finally not so blunt.
Ding Wei also looked at the TV.
Well, she knows who holds the remote control at home——
"My name is Kim Sam-soon"
She has also watched this show.
…
This was also a TV series that allowed her to fully appreciate Hyun Bin's beauty. Now the series is already halfway through. She may not remember other scenes clearly, but now that this scene is on TV, Ding Wei immediately remembers it.
The next plot, although vague, is...
She has remembered this scene for many years.
"Isn't this a good name? What's there to cry about?"
Zhao Yunjing murmured while watching. In the TV series, the heroine was sitting in a taxi and crying miserably.
Xie Guo said from the side:
"The national conditions of the two countries are different. What if the name doesn't sound good over there!"
In the TV series, the driver asked: "Why are you crying?"
The heroine Kim Sam-soon said while wiping her tears: "Because my name is so ugly, they all laughed at me..."
The driver laughed and said comfortingly: "What are you afraid of? As long as you don't call me Sanshun!"
"Pfft..."
Zhao Yunjing immediately laughed.
She patted Xie Guo beside her:
"Hey, what on earth is so funny about the name Sanshun?"
Xie Guo shook his head: "Then how could I know? Isn't this the TV series you girls love to watch?"
Even as he said this, he did not move his eyes away from the TV.
Zhao Yunjing turned to look at her son, who was born in Mingda University, and saw that the other man also shook his head innocently——
IT men don’t understand this.
Finally, she turned her eyes to Ding Wei.
…
Ding Wei laughed: "Sanshun in Korea means a person who is an idiot, just like when we hear someone naming their child Zhaodi Cuihua, we have the same feeling..."
Zhao Yunjing looked at her future daughter-in-law seriously, and at this moment she sincerely admired: "Weiwei, no wonder you write so well, you are so knowledgeable!"
Ding Wei:……
Mainly, she had remembered this idea for a long time, so she later asked Baidu.
cough.
…
She coughed dryly, not daring to bear the propaganda that was obviously exaggerated. She changed the subject and asked Xie Guo next to her:
"Uncle, which of the four classics do you prefer? Next time I go to the mall, I'll see if I can get a complete set."
Xie Guoke didn't mean to be polite at all. Ding Wei said that he would help him get a complete set. He really felt that way and said seriously now:
"I like "Journey to the West" the most."
After thinking about it, he said sheepishly: "I used to like "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" the most, but wasn't "Journey to the West" aired a few years ago? It's so good, so good!"
It’s a childhood drama, who dares to say it’s not good to watch!
Even Xie Yan nodded seriously: "It does look good."
That's not the case.
Ding Wei now also feels that the original production was very careful, and everyone is stunning. Whether it is the Apricot Fairy, the Golden Mouse, the Jade Rabbit, or the Lord of the Daughter Kingdom...
No matter which one she can do!
——It’s a pity that I was young and ignorant, so my eyes were attracted by the monkey.
…
Ding Wei thought for a while and asked her boyfriend:
"Then do you know how many episodes there are in "Journey to the West"?"
Although Xie Yan has watched it many times while so many TV stations rebroadcast it, but how many episodes do you really want to say...
He hesitated: "Seventy or eighty episodes?"
It's hard to say ninety-nine and eighty-one, I feel like I've met so many monsters, and one monster takes several episodes...
Ding Wei laughed.
Thanks to the almighty Baidu, if it weren't for accidental circumstances, she wouldn't have discovered the real episode of this childhood drama.
I can only lament that the original screenwriter and director really worked too hard. The series was full of good stuff and not a bit watery.
""Journey to the West" has a total of twenty-five episodes, and the sequel to the later memoir is sixteen episodes."
How can it be?!
At this moment, even Xie Guo couldn't believe it.
——So many monsters, so many stories!
The story about Ah Lang that his wife watched had hundreds of episodes just involving quarrels, misunderstandings, disputes, etc. How come it only had more than 20 episodes when it was serious about fighting monsters and learning from the West?
Ding Wei smiled and said nothing.
In fact, she couldn't answer this question! Because if it weren't for a coincidence, she would have always thought that "Journey to the West" has seventy or eighty episodes!
but……
If you're a text writer, if you can't answer the question, you'll change the subject!
It's like changing the map at the end of a plot.
Do not do basic things 6.
He smiled like he did every time he communicated with editor Guo Mu:
"I have read a story saying that starting from "The Monkey King", Sun Wukong is no longer the real Sun Wukong, but a six-eared macaque. The real Sun Wukong has been beaten to death."
As soon as he said this, everyone was surprised and instantly forgot about the episode question just now.
"How could this happen?!"
…
Ding Wei thought about the article she read in her previous life. She couldn't remember the details clearly, but because it really shocked her at the time, a few general points still remained in her mind.
At this moment, she seemed to be on the train again, controlling all the children in the train with just one mouth -
"Look, Sun Wukong is so powerful and smart. He has learned so many skills from Patriarch Bodhi, including the seventy-two transformations of somersault clouds, etc."
"But this six-eared macaque suddenly appeared, but it was silent, and it was as good as him. Besides Patriarch Bodhi, who else has the ability to teach him these things?"
When everyone thought about it, yes!
Who taught it?
Could it be...
No, no, no, you can't think like that, the whole story will be ruined if you think like that!
Before this question could be thought through in her mind, Ding Wei threw out another clue——
"In the underworld, Di Ting can obviously hear everything that is true, but why does he say that he heard it but dare not tell it? Who is he afraid of? It is clear that Sun Wukong came to make trouble before, but he did not dare to tell it."
"Furthermore, Sun Wukong has several lives on his hands and has done big things like causing havoc in heaven, but he is still alive and well."
"On the contrary, the six-eared macaque actually only pretended to be Sun Wukong, and was beaten to death by Sun Wukong in front of Buddha. But Buddha, who has always been compassionate, did not even stop him..."
"Sun Wukong was originally very rebellious, but after this incident, he wholeheartedly supported Tang Monk to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. He no longer treated Zhu Bajie like "idiot" or "idiot", but seriously called him by his name.
Number……"
These vague memories, being pulled out by Ding Wei, really opened up a new world for everyone.
"So, do you think it was really the six-eared macaque that was killed?"
"Who planned all this?"
"Did Tathagata Buddha really not see through anything?"
The three soul explosions made several people dizzy and unable to say anything.
Several people were stunned for a while. Xie Yan grabbed the remote control next to him and started flipping through it. However, he didn't find any TV station replaying "Journey to the West", so he couldn't help but stop depressed.
It had been several years, and they couldn't remember many of the details, and they didn't have the ability to refute Ding Wei's words at the moment, but as long as they thought about it along this line of thinking, it felt so scary!
No, this has tarnished their childhood in their minds, and strong evidence must be found to refute it!
But Ding Wei was extremely calm:
"Oh, there is another story. If you read Journey to the West from the last chapter forward, the story will be different..."
"Etc., etc!"
Xie Yan quickly stopped her
"Weiwei, stop talking, your childhood will be gone."
He thought about it: "But your alternative explanation angle is a bit dark... Have you ever read a book? It's called "The Legend of Wukong"?"
