1109. Meeting Ceremony (3/5)

Chapter 1110 1109. Meeting Ceremony (35)

Brother Wolf drives, he has a habit of concentrating on driving and never talking.

Li Du likes to discuss with people when reading materials, especially the introduction of materials is always unclear.

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

Li Du stopped chatting with her, and Sophie's laughter kept ringing.

The plane of Li's father and Li's mother arrived in the evening, and Sophie's parents arrived. They were dressed very formally. Mr. James wore a jacket with a suit, and Mrs. Martin wore a lady's suit with a long skirt.

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 is red like fire, and the other is black with five colors. The former is fire opal and the latter is black opal.

The faces of these two rings are made into the shape of wings, but each has only one side.

Mr. James smiled heartily and said, "You young people live a fast-paced life. Just keep busy with your own affairs. You don't have to care about us. In fact, we are also very busy."

Mrs. Martin likes to collect works of art, and she knows the value of this gift immediately.

Although the area of ​​gemstones used in the ring surface is small, the texture is very good, and the watercolor is particularly clear, which is the best among opals.

Moreover, the wings are well carved, with platinum inlays on the edges, and the feather patterns are very clear. In addition, the ring is made to look like a tree branch, and there are patterns of bark on it.

She looked at the gift happily and asked, "They are so beautiful, Lee, why are the two wings facing opposite directions? Is there any explanation for this?"

Li Du smiled and said: "Yes, in our culture, there is a very famous poem, in heaven..."

"I wish to be a lovebird in the sky, and a twig in the earth." Sophie rushed to say, "I know this poem, it is beautiful, even more beautiful than this ring."

Li Du nodded and continued to introduce: "Yes, the lovebird is a divine 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 Lianlizhi, which is also found in the United States. It is the acacia tree, a plant whose branches grow together..."

Mr. James nodded and said: "I know this. The reason is that between the bark and the xylem, there is a layer of cells called the cambium. If two trees rub against each other in windy weather, the bark will be polished. When there is no wind, when the two branches are close together, the cambium will be closely connected, and the new cells that proliferate each other will grow together."

Mrs. Martin sighed: "Why do you explain it this way, I don't feel romantic anymore?"

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 suddenly realize, patted his forehead and showed an annoyed expression.

Mrs. Martin was amused by him, held up the ring and said complacently: "Is it a combination of Lovebird and Lianlizhi? Then they are great."

Sophie was upset, she pursed her lips and said, "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 that is worthy of you."

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

The Martins were very satisfied with the gift from Li Du, and they were even more satisfied when they learned that he had found these two gems by himself.

The couple replaced their wedding rings on the spot, saying it was more meaningful and their wedding rings could be saved.

In the evening, they departed from the hotel to the airport.

At the VIP exit passage, some people in **** work uniforms appeared talking and laughing. Li Du immediately looked forward to it. His parents were with these people.

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

Li's father was carrying a mountaineering bag and pulling a suitcase, and Li's mother was pulling a suitcase in each of her left and right hands.

The two dressed similarly to the Martins. Li's father also wore a suit and leather shoes, and Li's mother wore a camel knitted vest with a black bottoming, white pants and white leather shoes underneath.

They kept looking around, Li Du waved excitedly, and said sadly: "My parents are looking for us, I'm so unfilial, they must miss me very much!"

Mrs. Martin smiled and said, "Yes, this is the heart of parents all over the world."

As a result, he waved so hard that Li's father and Li's mother didn't notice him. They looked around and talked with each other from time to time, but they never saw Li Du.

It wasn't until the two sides were very close that Li's father and Li's mother saw them, and they came dragging the box with surprise on their faces.

Li Du went up and gave warm hugs to each other. Sophie followed behind, and Da Fangfang also gave a hug.

Father Li was still very embarrassed. When he hugged Sophie, his arms were stiff and stretched straight forward.

Seeing this, Li Du laughed, and said with a smile, "Dad, are you learning from zombies?"

Father Li whispered awkwardly: "No, my daughter-in-law and I are cuddling, what does this sound like?"

"Stupid, this is American etiquette." Mother Li said angrily.

Mr. and Mrs. Martin shook hands with them, and Li Du acted as an interpreter. The two sides exchanged warm greetings.

Sophie also brought a bouquet of flowers, and then gave the flowers to the two of them, smiling: "Uncle, Auntie, welcome to America, Li and I have always missed you very much."

Mother Li said happily: "Ah, Sophie, your Chinese has improved, and your Mandarin is really good."

Sophie was doing it in Mandarin when they made the video, so it didn't surprise them too much.

Father Li coughed and winked.

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

Father Li said calmly: "Sophie, uncle and aunt are here. I don't have any presents to bring, so I bought a statue for you and Xiao Du in the temple and church. One more blessing, one more peace of mind, the two of us There is nothing else to think about, as long as you are safe and sound."

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

Li's father smiled reservedly, and Li's mother revealed the truth mercilessly: "It's your father who thought about it for half a month before he came up with these few words."

"Don't talk nonsense, 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 Li's mother one by one, saying, "This is a small gift I prepared. It's not very valuable. I hope you like it."

Mr. James heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Fortunately, we have prepared with both hands. Come on, we will also bring out our presents."

Mrs. Martin took out the gifts they prepared for Li's father and Li's mother from her handbag. In the end, Li Du discovered in a cold sweat that he hadn't prepared any gifts for his parents.

But he calmed down and pulled Sophie out and pushed it out: "This is my gift, the daughter-in-law I prepared for you."
