Zhao Nanxiao brought Xu Shu in and shouted: "Mom, Xu Shu is here!"

Chen Xiaoman hurried out from the kitchen and saw someone, his eyes lit up: "Xu Shu, you are so handsome today. Your figure and temperament are so good! If my aunt didn't know, she would think you were going to go on a blind date!"

Zhao Nanxiao took the flower handed over by Xu Shu, looked at him bowing slightly to his mother, and said with a smile: "Auntie is making fun of him. In terms of temperament, if you think you are the second, no one dares to be the first. Not only are you good in temperament, I heard my dad also mention it before, Auntie, you were a goddess-like existence in college, and now it's even more! In fact, you don't have to see your aunt himself, just look at me, Miss Xiaonan."

Zhao Nanxiao listened aside and couldn't help but get goosebumps again.

The level of flattery is higher than yesterday. Even if you flatter your mother, she will still pull her into the water.

That's really enough.

Chen Xiaoman smiled so hard that he couldn't stand it anymore. He angered him with sweet mouth and kept calling him to come in quickly.

"Aunt Chen, today my dad was going to come to celebrate Grandpa Chen's birthday in person, but there was something wrong and he really couldn't come back from another place, so he told me to come. I need any work to help me, just give me instructions."

Xu Shu said, took off his blazer and placed it on the backrest of the sofa.

How could Chen Xiaoman send him to do things: "You didn't come to my house after you went to college. Now you can come here just a rare guest. Can you still let you work? Besides, there is no work. Grandpa Xiaonan and the others are all in the study. Grandpa Meng, who retired from the transportation line, knows your father. When you heard that Grandpa Chen said you came tonight, you just asked you, hurry up and call me."

"Okay, then I'll go in."

He reached out to take the coat he had just taken off and wanted to hang it up first.

"Just leave it, just go."

Chen Xiaoman asked him to enter the study room, watched him with a smile, then turned his face, his smile disappeared, and glared at his daughter who was still standing aside: "What are you doing while standing? Why don't you help hang up your clothes?"

Being scolded again for no reason.

Zhao Nanxiao pouted, picked up his coat and hung it on the coat rack.

It was dark, and the laughter in the study was endless, and the meal was ready. Zhao Nanxiao went over and knocked on the door, pushed it open, and said with a smile: "Grandpa, Grandpa Meng, Grandpa Sun, are out for dinner!"

Xu Shu followed the last one of the big guys, passed by Zhao Nanxiao, and whispered in a low voice when the person was not paying attention, "Why don't you call me? Are you afraid that the aunt will know and scold you for being rude?"

Zhao Nanxiao turned his head and saw his mother's back facing this side, with new and old hatreds, raised her feet and kicked him quickly, turned around and left him and left.

The doorbell rang.

Zhao Nanxiao didn't know who would come tonight, so he looked at his mother.

Chen Xiaoman turned his head and smiled on his face: "It must be Xu Hui coming! Xiaonan, go and open the door."

Zhao Nanxiao stood still and stared at her.

Chen Xiaoman whispered in a low voice: "What are you looking at? He is the grandson of your grandfather's friend. If he comes tonight, your grandfather knows it too. Why don't you go and open the door quickly?"

Zhao Nanxiao walked towards the kitchen: "I'll go to serve the food!"

Chen Xiaoman had to open the door by himself. He looked up and saw Xu Shu standing beside him. He hurriedly greeted him first: "Xiao Xu, come and sit quickly, don't stand."

Xu Hui was also wearing a suit and ties, holding flowers in his hand. The first thing he did when he came in was to apologize, saying that he had already come out in advance, but the road was still too congested, and he was late.

Naturally, my grandfather and mother said it was okay and he asked him to take his seat.

He said hello to the other two elders present attentively, and then told his grandfather that he was here to congratulate his birthday on behalf of his grandfather.

Even the words were exactly the same as Xu Shu.

Zhao Nanxiao glanced at Xu Shu, and saw that his expression was stiff and his eyes were chilling. He lost the energy he dared to tease him behind his mother, and pursed his lips.

Chen Xiaoman arranged for Xu Hui to sit next to his daughter, and warmly greeted Xu Shu to sit next to him, introducing each other to each other, saying that Xu Shu was the son of his old classmate.

Xu Hui obviously held a natural alert state for this "old classmate and young master" who suddenly appeared. The other party was the same. Both of them had a different business smile on their faces, shook hands with each other, nodded slightly, and then sat back.

During the meal, Xu Hui borrowed the convenience of the location and was very attentive to Zhao Nanxiao sitting beside him. He talked frequently, and did not hide his desire for her. Xu Shu looked at the two people sitting opposite him, and even the topic of grandpa talking to him about the World Transportation Expo that just ended last year. It was not until grandpa repeated it again that he came back to his senses: "Yes, yes, our group attended the expo last year and exhibited a lot of the latest technical achievements. In addition to the intelligent monitoring and maintenance system of the bridge you just mentioned, there is also an ultra-high-performance concrete. This concrete can greatly reduce the post-maintenance of the bridge deck and even achieve zero maintenance. For example, ordinary concrete wears 2 mm in 25 years, while this ultra-high-performance concrete only wears 2 mm in 100 years. That is to say, in the usual bridge design service life cycle, zero maintenance of the bridge deck is achieved once and for all."

Grandpa and Grandpa Meng and others nodded: "The times are developing, and our bridge construction technology and material innovation are changing with each passing day, and it will get better and better in the future."

After dinner, my mother and aunt cleaned up the dining table. Grandpa and his wife sat in the living room while watching the news while continuing to chat. Zhao Nanxiao made tea, went to grandpa's study to get the tea leaves, turned around and wanted to go out. When they looked up, they saw Xu Shu actually followed him in and closed the door casually.

She was startled, glared at him, reached out to open the door and got grabbed by him.

"What are you doing? Let go quickly, I'm going out." Zhao Nanxiao ordered him in a low voice.

He didn't say a word, pushed her and pushed her directly to the wall and pressed her down. He pinched her chin with five fingers and picked up her face, lowered his head and kissed her hard, and then let go of her. He asked in her ear in a low voice: "What's wrong with the surname Xu? You are on two boats? No wonder I'm back, you're unhappy!"

Zhao Nanxiao never expected that he was brave enough to do this at his grandfather's house. He made him nervous and rippled, his lips a little hurt, and he felt a stimulating feeling like a child secretly doing bad things on his back. He let out a sigh. He looked up and saw that he was staring at him fiercely, and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong. I don't like Xu Hui. I rejected him the first time he came to my house. I don't know that he came again in the evening. Maybe my mother gave him the illusion. If you want to blame me, blame my mother. Okay, let me go out quickly."

She pushed him to leave, but instead of letting go, he clamped her wrist even tighter: "I don't believe it!"

Zhao Nanxiao had to explain again: "I didn't mean to hide it from my mother and the others. I thought we could get along for a while, and when the relationship stabilized, we felt that each other could indeed become their lifelong partners. Then we would tell our parents. Is it OK now?"

Xu Shu finally said: "I know everything..."

He poked his heart with his other hand: "But I'm just jealous."

"I can't control myself."

His voice sounded dull.

Zhao Nanxiao was afraid that his mother would notice something strange after a long time, so he hurriedly said, "Then what are you going to do?"

"I want you to kiss me."

He had kissed her before, but she hadn't kissed him on his own initiative.

Zhao Nanxiao's face turned red.

"Xiao Nan, Xiao Nan--"

My mother seemed to be calling her in the kitchen, and her voice came faintly.

Zhao Nanxiao was so nervous that he raised his hand and grabbed his tie, pulled others towards him, and kissed him quickly.

"Okay? Hurry up!"

He looked at her and finally slowly loosened the hand holding her wrist.

Zhao Nanxiao immediately shook his hand away and broke free. As soon as he gained freedom, he opened the door and responded outside: "Mom, I'm here!" While responding, he came out to the kitchen and reached into half of his head: "What's the matter with me?"

"I asked you to make some tea, what are you doing? I haven't seen you for a long time?"

My mother was busy peeling fruits and didn't raise her head, so she blamed her.

Zhao Nanxiao raised the tea jar in his hand: "Grandpa changed his place and couldn't find it for a while."

"Okay, okay, take the fruits first." Mom pointed to a plate of freshly cut fruits on the side.

"knew."

Zhao Nanxiao calmed down, put down the tea that he had finally brought out after finally, picked up the fruit plate and sent it to him.

They are all older people. Grandpa Meng and grandpa Meng and his friends sat for a while, and Grandpa Meng's driver came to pick him up. They saw off the two elders, and the two young ones should say goodbye and leave.

"Aunt Shen, when will you go back? I haven't drunk tonight. I'll help you drive and take you there." Xu Shu said with a smile.

"Just let Xiao Nankai open, why are you so embarrassed to bother you?"

Seeing his eyes shot at him with a faint look, Zhao Nanxiao hurriedly said, "Mom, my vision is not better at night, and I haven't driven a car for a while. I feel a little bit erect. I can ask Xu Shu to send us."

Shen Xiaoman thought for a while and smiled, "Okay, then aunt won't be polite to you, anyway, you are not an outsider."

Zhao Nanxiao looked at Xu Hui on the side: "Mr. Xu, I'll take you out."

Shen Xiaoman was a little surprised and happy because her daughter had such a good attitude this time. She thought that the two of them would sit together for the evening meal.

"Okay, Xiaonan, then you send Xiao Xu."

Zhao Nanxiao didn't look at Xu Shu, and walked out with Xu Hui and came outside.

"Miss Zhao, it's a little cold. You can go in, don't send me it." Xu Hui was quite considerate and walked out a few steps and immediately let her in.

Zhao Nanxiao stopped and said, "Mr. Xu, I said it straight. If you misunderstand you, you should think that I am passionate. I have someone I like. Because your grandfather and my grandfather are friends, I have to tell you so that you will not continue to waste your time and energy."

Xu Hui was stunned, subconsciously looked up at the direction of the house, and hesitated: "That Mr. Xu?"

“Nothing to be told.”

He hesitated for a while, finally shrugged, his tone was a little helpless, and he also felt a little regretful: "Okay, I gave up. It was because I had a good impression of you, and it was not easy to meet someone who had feelings now. I thought there would be hope for hard work."

Zhao Nanxiao smiled: "You are in such a good condition. You will definitely meet someone who has the same feelings for you in the future."

"I hope." He also laughed, "I wish you and Mr. Xu, you really look good."

"Thank you, please leave."

After Zhao Nanxiao came back, Xu Shu was still sitting in the living room. He was pulled by his grandfather who had drunk a few glasses of wine and spoke. When he heard the movement of opening the door, he immediately turned his head.

Grandpa was talking about a new bridge he was communicating with the Aachen University of Technology in Germany recently. The bridge was built in Albstadt, 15.55 meters long and is a footbridge with a structural form of FRP, a fiber reinforced plastic that has emerged in recent years. The bridge belongs to the fiber mesh reinforced concrete bridge, referred to as the Trc bridge, and is the world's first concrete bridge to use FRP fiber mesh as a reinforcement material. The entire bridge does not use steel bars and has the advantages of thin structure, light weight, corrosion resistance and low cost.

Grandpa said: "Because the years of antifreeze near the bridge site has been used, it has been affected by salt damage. Therefore, the university designed and adopted this new material. It took only a few days from production to put into use, and passed the load test with a full-size model. The structure is safe. Although the load force and overall service life are not as good as the traditional reinforced concrete structure bridge, the exploration of this bridge is very reference for the bridge planning in some saline-alkali areas in western my country. With the continuous in-depth research and development of materials science, I believe that its shortcomings will be overcome in the future..."

Zhao Nanxiao walked over, sat on a sofa next to him, took a small fork, and picked up the remaining fruits from the fruit plate to eat.

Xu Shu was excited and finally began to respond to grandpa's words: "Yes, grandpa, you said so well. What do we bridge people in the new era do? It is to inherit, carry forward, and promote it again."

Zhao Nanxiao almost laughed out loud and hurriedly lowered his head.

Grandpa nodded and continued to talk about another new bridge. At this time, Shen Xiaoman walked over and said, "Dad, don't talk about the bridge, you have drunk a few glasses of wine tonight, so go and rest early."

"Grandpa, mom is right, you have a rest."

Zhao Nanxiao also walked over and helped his grandfather up.
