1109.Meeting Gift (3/5)

Brother Wolf drives, he has a habit of paying full attention when driving and never speaking.

Li Du likes to discuss with others when he reads information, especially when it comes to information introduction, there are always unclear points.

He could only discuss it with Sophie, and Sophie was angry with him: "Wow, this man's chest muscles are so big!" "Wow, he's so cool!" "Wow, the handsome guy has so long legs!"

Li Du stopped talking to her, and Sophie's laughter kept ringing.

Father and Mother Li's plane arrived in the evening, Sophie's parents arrived, and the two were dressed very formally, Mr. James wore a jacket and a suit, and Mrs. Martin wore a lady's suit and a long dress.

After meeting, Li Du hugged them, gave them gifts, and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry that I didn't accompany Sophie to see you when I came back from Africa." ”

The gift is two rings, one with a red face like fire, and the other with a black background with five colors of color, the former is a fire opal, and the latter is a black opal.

The faces of these two rings are shaped like wings, but each has only one side.

Old man James smiled happily: "You young people have a fast pace of life, it's better to be busy with your own affairs, don't care about us, in fact, we are also very busy." ”

Mrs. Martin was a collector of art, and she knew how valuable it was.

Although the area of the gemstone used in the ring is not large, the texture is very good, and the watercolor is particularly clear, which is the best in opal.

And the wing carving is excellent, the edge is inlaid with platinum, and the feather pattern is very clear. In addition, the ring is made like a tree branch, and there are lines of bark on it.

She looked at the gift happily and asked, "They're so beautiful, Lee, why are the two wings in opposite directions?"

Li Du smiled: "Yes, in our culture, there is a poem that is very famous, in the ...... of heaven"

"In heaven I would like to be a winged bird, and on earth I would like to be a branch. Sophie hurriedly said, "I know this poem, it's beautiful, it's even more beautiful than this ring." ”

Li Du nodded and continued: "Yes, the winged bird is a sacred bird in our ancient legends. This bird has only one eye and one wing, and the male and female must fly together, so it is often used to praise loving couples. ”

"There is also a branch, which is also found in the United States, which is the acacia tree, a plant in which the branches of two trees grow together......"

Old man James nodded and said: "I know this, the reason is that between the bark and the xylem, there is a layer of cells called cambium, if two trees in windy weather, the trunks rub against each other, the bark is polished, to the windless, the two branches are close together, the cambium is closely connected, and the new cells that grow each other will grow together." ”

Mrs. Martin sighed, "Why do you explain it so much, I don't think it feels romantic?"

The old man was very aggrieved and said, "You have to let me show off my knowledge, oh, I forgot, you are an expert in biology." ”

He pretended to come to his senses, patted his forehead and showed a look of annoyance.

Mrs. Martin was amused by him, and raised her ring and said smugly, "Is it a combination of a winged bird and a liman? ”

Sophie was upset and said with a pout, "You have never given me such a gift." ”

Li Du whispered in her ear: "This gift is not worthy of you, I am trying to think of a gift worthy of you." ”

These words made Sophie happy, and she put her arm around Li Du and smiled sweetly.

The Martins were pleased with the gifts given by Li Du, and even more so when they learned that he had found both gems himself.

The couple changed their wedding rings on the spot, saying that the ring was more meaningful and that their wedding rings could be saved.

In the evening, they set off from their hotel for the airport.

At the VIP exit passage, some people wearing JPMorgan Chase uniforms appeared talking and laughing, and Li Du suddenly looked forward to it, and his parents were with these people.

Sure enough, among the bank staff, Li Du saw his parents.

Li's father carried a mountaineering bag and a suitcase, and Li's mother pulled a suitcase on her left and right hands.

The two dressed similarly to Mr. and Mrs. Martin, Li's father was also in a suit and leather shoes, and Li's mother wore a camel-colored knitted vest with black underneath, white pants and white leather shoes underneath.

They kept looking left and right, Li Du waved excitedly, and said with some sadness: "My parents are looking for us, I am so unfilial, they must miss me very much!"

Mrs. Martin smiled, "Yes, this is the heart of the world's parents. ”

As a result, he waved his hand so hard, Li's father and Li's mother didn't notice him, and the two looked left and right and bit their ears from time to time to discuss, but they never saw Li Du.

It wasn't until the two sides were very close that Li's father and mother saw them and dragged the box with a surprised face.

Li Du went up and gave a warm hug, Sophie followed behind, and Dafang also came to give a hug.

Father Li was not too embarrassed, and when he hugged Sophie, his arms were stiff and stretched straight forward.

Seeing this, Li Dule smiled and said, "Dad, do you learn zombies?"

Father Li whispered embarrassedly: "No, I hugged my daughter-in-law, what does this seem to be?"

"It's old-fashioned, it's American etiquette. Mother Li said angrily.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin shook hands with them, and Li Du acted as an interpreter, and the two sides began to greet each other warmly.

Sophie also brought a bouquet of flowers, then gave the flowers to the two of them, and smiled: "Uncle, aunt, welcome to the United States, Li and I have always missed you very much." ”

Mother Li said happily: "Ah, Sophie, you speak Chinese better, Mandarin is awesome." ”

When they videoed, Sophie did it in Mandarin, so they weren't too surprised by this.

Father Li coughed and winked.

Mother Li hurriedly opened his backpack and took out a box from it, which contained two jade statues, one was a statue of Guanyin, and the other was a cross inlaid with Jesus.

Father Li said calmly: "Sophie, uncle and aunt are here, there are no gifts to bring, so I asked for a statue of you and Xiao Du to go to the temple and church." One more blessing, one more peace of mind, the two of us have no other thoughts, you are safe. ”

Li Du applauded, gave a thumbs up and said, "Dad, there is a level to what you say." ”

Father Li smiled reservedly, and Mother Li ruthlessly revealed the facts: "This is what your father thought about for half a month to come up with such a few words." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, what half a month, just a few days. Father Li argued.

Sophie smiled and accepted the cross, took out a gift bag, and gave it to Li's father and mother one by one, saying, "This is a small gift I prepared, it is not of high value, I hope you like it." ”

Old man James sighed and said, "Fortunately, we are prepared with both hands, come on, and our gifts will be taken out." ”

Mrs. Martin took out the gifts they had prepared for Li's father and mother from her handbag, and in the end, Li Du found out in a cold sweat that she had not prepared gifts for her parents.

But he calmed down and pulled Sophie out and pushed her out: "This is my gift, for your daughter-in-law." ”
