Chapter 1109 Grandpa Meets Grandpa
"That's where the President of the United States lives, the White House, with the monument in the middle and the Capitol Hill over there," Feng Yiping introduced his grandfather to the famous buildings under the wings.
Reagan National Airport is the only airport located in the city center of Washington, D.C., just near the White House and Capitol Hill. When you land, you can clearly overlook the political heart of the United States, which feels pretty good.
"You said such a big place is where their president lives?" The old man felt a little contemptuous.
But, well, the White House, which covers an area of more than 5,000 square meters, is really not big.
The old man's next words made Feng Yiping a little embarrassed, "Have you ever gone in?"
As an old-school person, he always looks at a place that symbolizes the highest power with a different eye. Besides, he knows that his grandson entered Zhongnanhai.
"Not yet," Feng Yiping said.
"It should be soon," the old man said because he was so confident in his grandson.
However, what he said is correct. Even if the current owner of the White House has no friendship with Feng Yiping and would not take the initiative to invite him, the next owner, haha, is now good friends with Feng Yiping.
…………
Feng Yiping immediately spotted Ma Ling, who was wearing a beige windbreaker at the exit. His hair must have been done. It was not draped to the sides, but gathered behind his head. He was capable and elegant, maybe because of excitement. His cheeks were a little red and he smiled lightly. Yes, but the affection in his eyes is deep.
Vincent ran over before her, "Dad," his voice was long and he opened his hands from a distance. Feng Yiping squatted down, picked up his son, and kissed him hard, "I miss you dad." Oh, it’s heavy again. It seems like you’ve been very obedient recently, eating well, right?”
Vincent kissed Feng Yiping on one side of his face. When he heard what he said, he hid his little head behind Feng Yiping's head and said, "Hey, hey," as if he was a little embarrassed.
"Still disobeying mother when eating?" Feng Yiping immediately realized that this boy is good at everything, but he is disobedient at this point.
Ma Ling was already holding Mei Jianzhong's hand, "Vincent, this is my great-grandfather, do you remember?"
The little guy stuck his head out and took a look. When he saw the white eyebrows, he seemed to have some impression. Did he pluck them out before? But looking at Mei Jianzhong's outstretched hand, he retracted it with a "swish" and hugged Feng Yiping's neck tightly. This child was still a little timid in front of unfamiliar people.
"I met you in New York, don't you remember? Great-grandfather also gave you a longevity lock,"
But it was useless to ask, that thing must be in the drawer.
Mei Jianzhong was still very happy, "It doesn't matter if you don't want me, this child looks so good!"
"By tomorrow, he will probably become familiar with you." As a child, as long as you are willing to play with him, he won't be reserved for long and will soon become familiar with you.
"Where are John and the others?"
"We'll arrive at Dulles Airport at two o'clock in the afternoon and we'll go home first,"
…………
"You're interested, girl," Mei Jianzhong said, looking at the food on the table.
The staple food is a plate of Yangzhou fried rice. Among the dishes, there are fried eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried spinach. The main dish should be the beef, which seems to be stewed, the beef stew with potatoes, and a lemon chicken dish. Of course, there are also the dishes that are popular among foreigners. One of the classic Chinese dishes, Mapo’s Tofu.
"Grandpa said thank you for the hard work," Feng Yiping translated.
"I've been practicing for a long time," Ma Ling said nervously.
Over there, Mei Jian decided to start with scrambled eggs with tomatoes, eh, sweet ones? Spinach, is salt very expensive in the United States? Mapo tofu, tsk, what does this taste like? Chicken, so sour! Beef, well, at least it tastes normal, but his teeth can only eat potatoes.
"Yiping, tell her, it's very good, very good." The old man saw his great-grandson, and he felt it was sweet even if he was given Coptis chinensis.
"Grandpa said your cooking was great," Feng Yiping's words were not nonsense. Except for the strange-flavored Mapo Tofu, the other four dishes were quite spicy. For an American girl, this is rare
"Really?" Ma Ling was very happy.
You must know that it is quite laborious for her to make these dishes, just like doing experiments in the laboratory in high school.
"Really," Feng Yiping took a bite of the Washington, D.C. version of Yangzhou fried rice. This must have been a secret from some Chinese chefs. It must have been fried with overnight rice. His old grandfather's teeth must not be able to deal with it. Come.
He looked at the lasagna on his son's plate and said, "Is there any more lasagna? Grandpa likes it very much."
"Yes," Ma Ling went to the kitchen angrily.
"Grandpa, I'll cook dinner tonight,"
"No, this girl is quite rare," Mei Jianzhong said, "It's already very rare to reach this point."
I don’t know if he is talking about rice or something else.
Ma Ling came out with a plate of lasagna and asked Feng Yiping belatedly, "Is this fried rice not to your liking?"
This fried rice is actually not bad. Some places in China also add grapes to Yangzhou fried rice. But Feng Yiping decided to tell the truth, "Grandpa is not used to using dentures."
"Oh, I'm sorry," Ma Ling finally understood, "I didn't expect this,"
"It's okay." In the United States, where dentists are everywhere, they rarely encounter such problems. At least here, they don't use "old-fashioned" to describe the elderly.
"Vincent, why are you unhappy?" he asked, looking at his son with a sad face.
"He still doesn't like vegetables," Ma Ling said with a smile.
But today was obviously an exception. The little guy must have wanted to show off in front of his father and quickly ate all the vegetables on the plate.
…………
Mei Jianzhong put on his flower glasses and put together puzzles with Vincent on the coffee table. This did not require any language communication.
"What do her parents do? How is their relationship with you?" He asked while looking at his grandson who was cleaning up the kitchen and checking the inventory of the refrigerator.
This is the first time he has asked these things. They are going to meet each other, so they must have an attitude.
"Her family has a real estate company. It's not big, but it's also from a wealthy class. Her parents, mainly her father, turned out to have quite strong opinions."
"That's right," Mei Jianzhong said. "You, these are all good girls."
Feng Yiping, who calls himself a good boy, has nothing to say.
Mei Jianzhong fondly touched his great-grandson's head, "If you had done such a thing in China, would the girl's family have spared you? Don't tell me that she gave birth to the child without telling you. thing,"
Although the number of unwed mothers in China is also increasing year by year, and although the habits and perceptions in the United States are quite different from those in China, Feng Yiping decided not to tell his grandfather.
"From what you say, their attitudes are better now, right?"
"Yes, her father's attitude has changed a lot recently,"
"Then I know what to do." Mei Jianzhong ignored his grandson and gestured to his great-grandson in his hometown dialect, "Is this piece placed here?"
…………
Parking the car on the side of the road, Ma Ling did not get out of the car in a hurry. "Dad," she said to John in the back seat, "his grandpa is over eighty years old, and he came here specially to celebrate Vincent's birthday this time. You,"
"Am I going to have trouble with an old man?" John said coldly and went to the trunk to get his luggage.
"Don't worry," Heidi said to her daughter, "I'm watching him."
Before opening the door, Ma Ling still hesitated and glanced at his mother again. He could see the importance that Mei Jianzhong had in Feng Yiping's heart, and he very much hoped that his father could get along well with him.
John had already impatiently pushed his way between them, opening the door while shouting, "Vincent,"
"Grandpa? Grandpa," Vincent, who was already sitting in Mei Jianzhong's arms playing puzzles, became excited and ran towards the door.
Mei Jianzhong glanced at his grandson, stood up from the sofa, and straightened his clothes.
After a while, a tall foreigner who didn't look too young and didn't have much hair walked in with Vincent in his arms and a smile.
"Hello John," Feng Yiping greeted him with a smile.
"Well," John nodded to him, smiled and walked towards Mei Jianzhong who was standing there. He put his grandson on the ground in the process, stretched out his hands, and actually squeezed out a sentence in Chinese, "Nahao,"
Not only Feng Yiping was stunned, but even Ma Ling, who was a little nervous, was stunned.
"Hello to you," Mei Jianzhong said in his hometown, smiling and holding the foreigner's hand.
Feng Yiping vaguely felt that his grandfather's handshake posture and position were very familiar. If he took a closer look, he could not be familiar with it. It was a gesture he was used to seeing on the news network. By the way, when he returned to the hotel last night, his grandfather seemed to be watching the leaders meeting. News from foreign guests.
"Feng," Heidi smiled and hugged Feng Yiping, "John's performance today exceeded your expectations?"
Oh, it seems to be Heidi's credit. "Thank you Heidi," Feng Yiping said sincerely.
Over there, Mei Jianzhong nodded to Heidi, "Come here and level up,"
"Hey," Feng Yiping ran over, "Dad Ma Ling said you look very healthy,"
"Well, you translate my words to them and say, my grandson is sorry for you, and I, as the elder, will apologize to them for you,"
This old man is really straightforward.
"Say it, just say it," Mei Jianzhong glared at him.
Ma Ling and the others naturally didn't understand what the grandfather and grandson were talking about, but seeing Mei Jianzhong's sudden solemn look, they were a little confused as to what was going on.
"My grandpa said, I'm sorry for you, and he apologized to everyone on my behalf,"
John was stunned for a moment and glanced at his wife and daughter, with mixed feelings. When he saw Mei Jianzhong standing up and preparing to bow, he quickly jumped over to stop him, "no, no,"
