Chapter 122 Returning to Xie’s House
Chapter 122 Returning to Xie’s House
She definitely wouldn’t take a shower, as she didn’t want to wash her scalp later. However, since she didn’t have time to wash her hair in the Lingquan space before, she just washed her hair slowly and went out.
Xie Yan brought a dry towel to help Tang Man wipe her hair half dry, and finally put away the towel at Tang Man's urging, "Let's go!"
"I'll go back to my room." Tang Man returned to the room, found a shoulder bag that the original owner had bought from the closet, took out the pills she had made before from the Lingquan space and put them in it.
When she went out, Xie Yan was already standing at the door waiting for her with the car keys.
Seeing the car keys in Xie Yan's hand, Xie Yan asked, "Drive?"
"Yes! My eldest brother went to the military area with my father this morning and left his car to me." Xie Yan smiled and pulled Tang Man out of the door. "Don't worry, I'm a good driver and I will definitely not let you and the baby get hurt."
Xie Yan helped Tang Man get into the car first. Although Xie Yan thought that his driving skills were very good and he would not be rusty just because he hadn't driven for five years, he still let Tang Man sit in the back seat and carefully helped him fasten his seat belt.
After driving the car out of the door, Xie Yan jumped out and went back to lock the door.
At this moment, an old lady with a very good temperament was standing at the door opposite. Seeing the car driving in and the strange man, she looked at him with a vigilant face and asked, "Are you a relative of the old Li family?"
"Ah!" Xie Yan was a little confused. What Lao Li? He didn't know him.
Tang Man rolled down the car window and greeted the other party, "Grandma Li, it's me."
Grandma Li looked at the person sitting in the car, and her eyes immediately showed a smile, "Manman, when did you come back? I only heard from your parents that you would be back in the next two days, but how come I haven't seen anyone?"
"I just got back at midnight last night." Tang Man explained with a smile, and introduced, "Grandma Li, this is my husband Xie Yan. Brother Yan, this is Grandma Li."
Xie Yan also realized at this moment that the other party thought he was a thief or something and was deliberately testing him. He smiled awkwardly and nodded at the other party, "Hello, Grandma Li, I am Xie Yan, Manman's husband."
Grandma Li knew it was a misunderstanding, and looked at Xie Yan with a smile, "This young man is much more pleasing to the eye than the previous Jiang... Jiang what's his name."
Most men would feel embarrassed or unhappy when others mention their wife's ex in front of them, but Xie Yan was an exception. When he heard Grandma Li say that he was better than Jiang Qingyun, his mouth was grinning from ear to ear.
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandma Li."
Grandma Li smiled and waved her hand. "Are you going out? Then go and do your own things. Xiao Xie! Come to our house and play with Manman when you have time. Manman loved coming to our house when she was little."
"I will definitely come." Xie Yan smiled and said a few more words to Grandma Li before getting in the car and driving away.
Because they were in the compound, Xie Yan slowed down the car to the minimum speed and chatted with Tang Man distractedly. "That Grandma Li seems quite friendly."
"You didn't see how serious she looked then. Grandma Li was also retired from the army, and my dad worked under her. My mom told me that when our family was just allocated this house, they knew that Grandma Li lived across the street. My dad was almost dead, and he would look across the street before going out every day, for fear that he would bump into Grandma Li as soon as he went out."
"Ah! I thought Grandma Li was just a kind and amiable old lady, but I didn't expect that Grandma Li was also an old leader."
"Haha! That's not true, but it's true that Grandma Li is a very nice person. Not only Grandma Li, but most of the people in the military compound are very nice. When my parents were too busy to come home to cook for us when I was a kid, my brother and I would either eat at this restaurant or that restaurant."
"Then we are getting married, should we invite them?"
"Of course we'll invite them. They're all the elders who watched me grow up. Many of them have helped my dad before. He will definitely invite everyone."
Xie Yan thought for a moment and said, "Several of Grandpa's apprentices are great chefs. When the time comes, we'll ask an uncle to come and be the chef."
"Grandpa used to be a chef?"
"The ancestors of the Zheng family used to be the imperial chefs in the palace. Buddha Jumps Over the Wall was invented by the Zheng family."
Tang Man nodded and asked with a smile, "No wonder you are such a good cook, it must be your mom who taught you!"
"My grandfather taught me personally. Most families believe that men should stay away from the kitchen, but in the Zheng family, both men and women must learn to cook. I, a grandson who is not related by blood, am not exempt from this. But it's also thanks to my grandfather who started teaching me to cook when I was very young, otherwise I wouldn't be able to make my young wife happy."
Tang Man rolled her eyes at Xie Yan. This morning, she rolled her eyes so much that they almost hurt. "You're going to say that I'm greedy again. It was all your fault that Grandpa tempted me with delicious food."
"You can't blame me for this. Grandpa was very excited but also worried when he heard the news of my marriage. He was worried that I couldn't support you and that you would run away. He said he would send me some money. I could only tell him that I could support you and that you especially liked the food I cooked."
Tang Man was speechless, what was going on?
She was interested in all kinds of food, not because she was greedy, but because she hadn't had a normal meal in the real world for several years. However, she had no way of explaining this to anyone.
Forty minutes later, the car slowly stopped outside a group of ancient buildings.
Xie Yan pushed open the car door first, got out quickly, walked quickly to the back seat, opened the door, and helped Tang Man get out of the car.
After getting off the car, Tang Man raised her head slightly and her eyes fell on the historical building in front of her.
If the original owner's memory is correct, this should be one of the most intact ancient buildings in Beijing. Behind this row of buildings is the imperial palace that countless people once yearned for and feared. In ancient times, only the royal family and important ministers of noble status could live in these ancient buildings in front of her. (This is purely fictional, please do not take it personally.)
Anyone who can still live here must have a background that cannot be ignored. Although not all of them are known as one of the top ten families in Beijing like the Xie family, they all have strength and background that cannot be underestimated.
"Let's go, Manman!" Xie Yan locked the car and pulled Tang Man into one of the alleys. The alley here was not very wide and only wide enough for one car to pass through, but if another car came from the opposite direction, there would be no way to get through.
After walking for a while, I saw four old men standing in front of me, chatting enthusiastically. Some of them were sitting on small benches, and some were leaning against the wall. I didn't know what they were talking about, but they all looked very excited.
When they were chatting happily, they suddenly heard footsteps and everyone subconsciously looked over.
"Whose children are those two? That young man looks familiar."
"Looks a bit like those guys from the Xie family."
"That seems to be the third boy of the Xie family."
"Hey! They really look like those three guys."
"Why is he back? Was he released?"
