1109. Meeting Ceremony (3/5)

Brother Wolf drives, he has a habit of focusing on his car and never speaking.

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

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

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

The plane of Li's father and Li's mother arrived in the evening. Sophie's parents arrived. The two were dressed in formal clothes. Mr. James had a jacket with a suit, and Mrs. Martin was wearing a women's suit with a long skirt.

After meeting, Li Du hugged them, gave them a gift, and smiled and said, "I'm really sorry when I came back from Africa and didn't accompany Sophie to see you well."

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

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

Mr. James smiled cheerfully and said, "You young people have a fast pace of life. You are 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 artworks. She is a consignee. It is obvious that this gift is of great value.

Although the gems used on the ring face are not large in area, the texture is very good and the watercolor is particularly clear, which is the best in Opal.

Moreover, the wings are well carved, with platinum inlaid on the edges, and the feather patterns are very clear. In addition, the ring ring is surrounded by branches, with bark patterns 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?"

Li Du smiled and said, "Yes, there is a poem in our culture that is very famous, in the sky..."

"I wish to be a paired bird in the sky, and a pair of branches on the ground." Sophie rushed to say, "I know this poem is beautiful, even more beautiful than this ring."

Li Du nodded and continued to introduce: "Yes, the winged bird is the divine bird in our ancient legend. This bird only has one eye and one wing, and the male and female whiskers fly together, so it is often used to praise loving couples."

"There are also branches in the United States, which are also a plant that grows together with the branches of two trees..."

Mr. James nodded and said, "I know this because there is a layer of cells called the formation layer between the bark and the xylem. If the two trees rub against each other in windy weather, the trunks of the tree are rubbed against each other and grind the bark. When there is no wind, the two branches are approaching, and the formation layer will be closely connected, and the new cells that proliferate each other will grow together."

Mrs. Martin sighed, "Why do I feel no romantic when I let you explain this?"

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

He pretended to realize suddenly, patted his forehead and showed an expression of annoyance.

Mrs. Martin was amused by him, and raised her ring and said complacently: "Is it a combination of a winged bird and a skeleton? Then they are great."

Sophie was unhappy 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 that is worthy of you."

These words made Sophie happy and hugged Li Du's arm and smiled sweetly.

The Martin and his wife were very satisfied with the gifts given by Li Du. After learning that the two gems were found by him, they were even more satisfied.

The couple changed their wedding rings on the spot, saying that the ring is more meaningful and that their wedding rings can be preserved.

In the evening, they set off from the hotel to the airport.

VIP exit channel, some people wearing JPMorgan Chase work uniforms were talking and laughing. Li Duton was looking 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 with her left and right hands.

The two were dressed similarly to Martin and his wife. Li’s father was also wearing a suit and ties. Li’s mother wore a camel-colored knitted vest with black base inside and white pants and white leather shoes underneath.

They kept looking around, and Li Du waved excitedly and said sadly: "My parents are looking for us. I am 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 his hand so hard, Li's father and mother did not notice him. The two of them looked around and bit their ears from time to time to discuss, but they never saw Li Du.

It was not until the two sides were very close that Li’s father and mother saw them, and walked towards them with a surprise look on their faces.

Li Du went up and gave each other a warm hug. Sophie followed behind and gave a hug.

Li's father was embarrassed, and his arms were stiff when he hugged Sophie, and he stretched forward straight.

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

Li's father whispered awkwardly: "No, I hug my daughter-in-law and I, what do you think?"

"Old and old-fashioned, this is American etiquette." Li's mother said angrily.

The Martin and his wife shook hands with them, Li Du was the translator, and the two began to greet each other enthusiastically.

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

Li's mother said happily: "Oh, Sophie, you speak Chinese better, Mandarin is awesome."

When they were videoing, Sophie was doing it in Mandarin, so this incident didn't surprise them too much.

Li's father coughed and winked.

Li's mother quickly opened his backpack and took out a box from it. There were two jade statues, one of which was the statue of Guanyin and the other was the cross-inlaid Jesus.

Li's father said calmly: "Sophie, uncle and aunt come here. There is no gift to bring. I will invite you and Xiao Du to the temple and the church to invite a portrait. There is more blessing and more peace of mind. We have no other thoughts, so you can be safe."

Li Du applauded and gave a thumbs up and said, "Dad, this is a good word."

Li’s father smiled with a reserved smile, and Li’s mother revealed the facts without mercy: “Your father thought about it for half a month before he came up with these words.”

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

Sophie smiled and took the cross, took out a gift bag, and gave it to Li's father and mother one by one, and said, "This is a small gift I prepared. It is not worth a lot. I hope you like it."

Mr. James sighed and said, "Fortunately, we are ready, come on, take out our gifts."

Mrs. Martin took out the gifts they prepared for Li’s father and mother from her handbag. In the end, Li Du found out in a cold sweat: she didn’t prepare a gift for her parents.

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