V1.Chapter 1924

"What is the apparent affection of grandparents and grandchildren?"

Tina blurted out, and then she wanted to bite off her tongue.

Grandma Yu expressed her praise:

"Your problem is very good. At least express your attitude that you want to solve it. If you have to do everything whether you are happy or not, why not be happy? Are you right? The apparent grandson feeling is that I fulfill my obligation to be a grandmother, and you also cooperate to complete the responsibility of a granddaughter. In the bottom of your heart, you can scold me and blame me, but in front of outsiders, you should maintain respect for your elders... Seriously, I'm doing it for you. If your elders are not unkind, but a young man is rude to your elders, no matter which country you are in, you will be shielded by the normal social circle. Others will think you are a bad person. Think about it, those who are willing to deal with you can only be the same bad people. "

Tina was surprised by the picture told by grandma Yu.

She could not help but imagine that if the Xu family stopped her on the campus of Columbia University, and she said evil words to each other, and the Xu family indicated their identity to her classmates and friends, what would the friends think of her?

She can explain to her friends.

What can be explained?

Her friends will find her strange when she says it.

Long lost relatives came to the door, but she used a bad attitude.

Tina was suddenly silent.

Her attitude towards the Xu family is really unreasonable.

In the United States, even for adopted children, most adoptive parents and children will not exclude them when their biological parents come to the door to indicate their identity. Legally, biological parents can't get any advantage, and reconnection is only out of emotion.

Biological parents will not be rejected. They will contact several times a year and walk around as close relatives.

If you can't raise a child and send it to someone for adoption, you are leaving a way for the child to live.

She can regard the Xu family as such a relationship.

There is a blood relationship and emotional alienation. The two sides maintain this kind of hospitality. Don't you have to be embarrassed?

Tina nodded unconsciously, "if that's all, I can do it."

Is that okay?

When Xu Changle saw his grandmother's God, he knew that his sister Tina had fallen into the pit.

But for the sake of family reunion, how could he remind Tina that it was dug by his own grandmother.

"I was going to sign an agreement with you. After thinking about it, I'd better forget it. Although Cui... You are different from her. You have the blood of the Xu family in your body. I believe you once. But there is only one chance. If you tear up our oral agreement, I will be very disappointed with you. Trust me, you don't want to see what I look like when I'm disappointed in someone. "

In grandma's words, she despised Cui Yiru.

Tina loves her mother, but she doesn't dare to refute.

Others think Cui Yiru has done wrong and paid the price of his life. Those wrong things don't have to be investigated. So no one spoke ill of Cui Yiru in front of Tina. It was just because grandma despised her. Tina felt that if she could distinguish one word, the old lady would degrade her mommy to the dust.

"What exactly am I going to do?"

"Keep our oral agreement confidential. When there are outsiders, you maintain respect for me. I may want to teach you something, but I won't force you to learn."

It was too fierce at first. Now, Tina thought it was a little simple to ask.

She nodded. "I can do it!"

Grandma Yu said softly, "Xiaolan, pour me a cup of tea. I'm going to give her my first class today!"

Poof——

The old lady has so many tricks.

Xia Xiaolan held back her smile.

No, she can't dismantle grandma's stage for such a serious scene.

Tina didn't understand these customs at all and looked at a loss.

Xu Zhongyi lowered his voice: "the younger generation at home should say goodbye to their elders before going away. When they go home from a distance, they should inform their elders."

Young people who have returned from afar should "say hello" to their elders.

After the founding of China and entering modern society, many rules have become outdated and can only be simplified. It's not a feudal society. No one gives a big gift "farewell".

But simplification does not mean No.

It is still a ritual that many modern people consciously stick to when they go home after going out for a long time and bring something alone to visit their elders to show their safe return. For example, young people who work outside and go home only once or twice a year will want to bring something to visit their grandparents.

Tina doesn't want to recognize the Xu family. She can't bring anything to grandma Yu.

So grandma Yu asked her to make a cup of tea, which was all the gift.

Tina, in another sense, is the daughter of the Xu family.

Xia Xiaolan handed Tina the teacup:

"Here, give your grandmother your hands and invite her to tea. It's very simple."

Tina hesitated with her tea.

She was completely taken to the rhythm and did as Xia Xiaolan said.

He handed out the tea cup, opened his mouth, couldn't shout "grandma", and vaguely said "you drink tea".

Grandma Yu's face was grim, and Xu Changle's face begged.

Grandma Yu muttered, "just, it's still a long time. Teach it slowly."

The old lady took the tea cup and wet her mouth. She put it down, took out a red envelope from her pocket and handed it to Tina: "you do your duty, and I have to do my duty. I don't know what you like. Give you some pocket money to buy it yourself."

Huh?!

Give her money?

The old lady is crazy. She is not short of money at all. She has a cash legacy of more than 20 million US dollars and some real estate.

Look at the old lady. She doesn't have any jewelry on her. She must not be as rich as her.

But he gave her a red envelope and didn't take the money seriously or ask her if she liked it.

Without waiting for Tina to react, grandma Yu looked at the clock on the wall and stood up from the sofa:

"Well, it's getting late. I, an old woman, can't compete with your young people. Now it's time for me to sleep. You don't have to stay in this room anymore. You can go. I think tonight is a good start. I hope this oral agreement can be fulfilled all the time. "

So, this is driving her away?

With an impatient face, it's really like what the old lady said. She just goes through the motions and completes the due obligations of "grandma".

Tina went out angrily with a red envelope in her hand.

Now, Tina and the Xu family were asked out of the room.

The door slammed shut.

Xu Changle smiled awkwardly: "... Grandma has a cold temper outside and a hot temper inside."

Tina looked at him with suspicion on her face.

She is not so easy to cheat and will never believe her brother again.

What is cold outside and hot inside? This is an old Chinese woman who looks serious and whose heart is as hard as stone.

Holding the red envelope, Tina walked quickly to the elevator - it was a shame. She thought that the other party would cry and say she missed her "granddaughter", apologize to her, show weakness and cultivate feelings with her, tell her that the Xu family loved her very much and look forward to her returning to the Xu family.

But none of these!
