C208 Mesu's nickname

Name:Follow the Dreams Author:
He went back to the kitchen.

Chu Tian, Ye Na, Soo Soo and the others stood by the side of the picture frame and looked. Inside the picture, there was indeed a little kid.

There were also pictures of Mai Su's primary, junior high, and high school. There were also photos of his entire family, including his father who passed away, as well as his younger brother and sister whom Chu Tian had never seen before. Mesu's sister was a beauty like Mesu, while her brother was tall and handsome.

Chu Tian saw that the picture was of a mighty warrior together with Mesu. He was holding onto the soldier's arm, his face looked extremely intoxicated, as if he was intoxicated by the sight before him.

As they were talking, Mesu's mother was in the kitchen shouting something in a dialect, and she quickly ran over to greet them.

When Chu Tian heard Mai Su's mother scream, he knew that she was calling Mai Su Xiao Ming, but the taste was very strong. He did not dare confirm what it was for a moment, and asked Ye Na: "What did you hear mother Mai Su call just now?"

"She's called Maggie, I think it's by her nickname."

"What's my name?" Do you hear me? "

Ye Na thought for a while: "It feels like 'far away', but it also looks like 'Ying Ying'. The taste of this dialect is too dense, so I can't really be sure, but I think it's more like 'far away'.

"Hmm, it should be called Yao Yao. It sounds like it to me too." Chu Tian was happy, Mai Su's nickname sounded quite similar to Sister Meng's.

After a while, Mesu came in and invited everyone to take a seat. When all the dishes were ready, she began to serve the dishes and pour some wine for everyone to drink.

Before drinking, Uncle and Mom said a few more words, but no one understood what they meant. Thanks to their translations, they were basically saying that they would welcome everyone over for the holidays, wish everyone a safe and healthy life, and wish everyone a happy life.

Everyone smiled and nodded in thanks, then raised their glasses and toasted.

After that, Mesu gave a welcoming speech, welcoming everyone to the house for the first time in a long while, and then everyone had a toast.

Because Leo was driving, Ye Na told him to drink less. Leo listened obediently and only pursed his lips.

Seeing that Mai Su's expression was good, as if nothing had happened in the afternoon, she started to chat happily, her eyes were basically surrounding Chu Tian.

Chu Tian felt his heart beating faster when he saw the look in Mai Su's eyes. He didn't know why, but he felt that Mai Su's eyes were a little special, a little strange.

The host welcomes the guest to return the salute, no matter where the etiquette must be.

Chu Tian stood up, and following the customs of the north, he poured a cup of wine for each of Uncle Mesu and Mother, wishing them good health.

Then, Soo Soo followed her brother's example.

Leo got used to it quickly, and touching Ye Na's arm, the two of them stood up to toast the old man. Leo used his stiff Chinese words to Masu's mother: "You are Mai Su's mother, and you are my mother. I don't have a mother in Hua Xia, so you are my mother in Hua Xia."

After saying that, Leo drained his cup in one gulp, and Ye Na did the same.

Soo Soo raised her head and looked at Leo and Ye Na with an envious gaze.

Mai Su looked at Chu Tian and Soo Soo, and started preparing the dishes for Soo Soo.

After the toasts, Mama and Uncle Missouls drank to their heart's content and then went to the kitchen to get some food.

There were only a few youngsters left at the table. As there were no elders around, everyone became lively.

Chu Tian was still thinking about what Leo meant when he toasted, "I don't have a mother in China". Could it be that Leo still had a mother in another country? Wasn't Leo an orphan?

"Leo, you still have a mother abroad?" Chu Tian suddenly asked Leo.

The question came out of the blue, and everyone felt it was unexpected, including Ye Na.

They all knew that Leo was an orphan. Mai Su and Ye Na looked at Chu Tian reproachfully.

But they couldn't take it back, so everyone looked at Leo again.

Leo looked at everyone, muttered to himself for a while, looked at Ye Na, and nodded: "Yes, in my homeland, I have a Chinese mother."

"Huh?" Everyone was shocked, including Ye Na.

Seeing everyone's shocked expression, Leo said with a serious expression: "This is my greatest secret. I have never told anyone, including Ye Na. Since you guys asked me today, I think you guys are my best friends in China, so I'll tell you guys. You all must want to know why this is happening. Tonight, on the Chinese Lantern Festival, I am willing to share this story with you, will you all listen? "

"I'm willing to listen." Everyone agreed.

"My feelings for China and my good impression of Chinese women all come from my Chinese mother. Of course, my feelings for Chinese mother when I came to work" Leo took Ye Na and slowly recounted, "I grew up in an orphanage, and have never experienced parental love before when I was young. I don't know what kind of love it was, I only know that I'm an orphan, an orphan that no one would ever love. "Later on, a fierce female manager came to the orphanage and treated me very badly. She beat me up whenever she wanted, didn't give me food, and didn't even give me a blanket in the winter. Later on, when I was having a fever and was beaten up by her again, on a snowy night, I ran out of the orphanage. That year, I was 12 years old."

Everyone was listening intently, while Ye Na and Soo Soo's eyes were sparkling.

"Go on." Chu Tian stared at Leo.

"I ran out and curled up in a radiator outlet. I was shivering and cold, but I would rather freeze to death than go back to the orphanage. I nestled in the corner like a little girl selling matches in Andersen's fairy tales, dreaming of warm rooms and delicious meals and the warmth of my mother's arms. Slowly, my body grew colder and colder … " Leo said slowly with a stern expression.

Ye Na and Soo Soo's tears flowed down, while Mai Su and Chu Tian's eyes became moist.

"Later on, just as I was about to freeze stiff and passed out, a Chinese woman passed by and found me in a coma. She immediately sent me to the hospital to rescue me, and she stayed by my bed for two days and two nights. When I woke up from my coma, the first thing I saw was a gentle, kind, beautiful and kind Oriental mother's face. After that, I always thought that Chinese women were the most beautiful women in the world. "

Leo continued to speak: "Seeing that I have woken up, she asked me about my situation in detail. When I told her that I would rather die than return to the orphanage, she was silent for a moment and then said to me:" I don't have any children, are you willing to be my child? When I heard this, the pie in the sky fell and I quickly nodded my head. Since then, I have left the orphanage for 9 years, living with my Chinese mother, since then I have lived a motherly life. My Huaxia mother not only provided for me to live, but also helped me finish middle school and university, and taught me Chinese personally. "My Chinese mother, Chu Mimin, was a teacher at a European university. She taught Chinese, came to Europe when she was young, and was single. She was 48 when she adopted me, and has now retired."

After Leo's story was finished, everyone became silent and touched.

"Then the one that you have named Chu is …" Chu Tian asked.

Leo said deeply: "It was for the sake of my mother in Hua Xia that I named myself Chu Di, with my mother's surname. Even though I am an orphan, even though I have never felt the love of my real parents, even though I envy those people who have parents, including that day when I envied Xiu Xiu's parents, my mother gave me the greatest and most selfless love in the world, giving me a second life. In my heart, she is my mother, I want to use this name to thank her.

Although I am now all over the world, but as long as I return home, I will always stay with my mother for as long as possible, will repay her with everything I have. In Chinese, it is called a drop of water in favor of repayment. I had originally planned to tell this story to Ye Na and everyone else when Ye Na and I were getting married, because my Chinese mother wanted to leave and return back to her family. I had planned to bring my Chinese mother back when we were getting married and let her attend our wedding at home. "

Ye Na looked at Leo happily, her beautiful eyes filled with disappointment and envy.

"When are you going to get married?" Mai Su looked at Soo Soo, then looked at Ye Na and her wife.

"This year, let's try to get married in the first half of the year. We'll see when the time comes." Leo said.

"Leo, your story is very touching. Your mother is very great.

"Cheers." Everyone raised their glasses and toasted.

"Actually, when I came to work in China and wanted to marry a Chinese wife, it was all because of my mom. My Chinese was taught to me by her, otherwise how could I be so familiar with it?" Leo said.

"When you said you were an orphan that day, I thought you really had no one to rely on. So you actually had such a Chinese mother. You call yourself an orphan." Chu Tian said.

"I said that the other day because I had always intended to keep it a secret until the wedding, but today I couldn't help it." Leo laughed, "I feel really lucky to have met such a good mother."

Mai Su raised his cup to Ye Na and said, "Ye Na, I wish you well. You've found a Europa and your mother-in-law is Chinese. Not bad."

"Only now do I understand why Leo returns so frequently. He actually goes back to visit the elderly whenever he has the time." Ye Na laughed heartily as he finished his drink in one gulp, then added, "But I do not like it when Leo is always on the plane."

Soo Soo remained silent as she focused on eating.

"It looks like your wedding will be held in the country?" Mai Su then asked Ye Na and Leo, glancing at Soo Soo.

"Right, let's have a Chinese wedding." Leo said, "We will register in the first half of the year, hoping for an early wedding."

Mesu raised her glass again. "I wish you the best in advance."

Everyone raised their cups and Soo Soo raised her own as well.

Leo thanked them profusely. After getting rid of them, he said: "It's very nice to meet you all, it's great to have you all as my friends. In order to remember our precious friendship, I have a plan, if Ye Na and I were to have a son in the future, I would name him Chu Tian."

"What?" Chu Tian was stunned, he immediately interrupted Leo: "What did you say? What name are you going to give to your future son? "

"Chu Tian, commemorate our friendship." Leo said happily.

Everyone was amused, and Mai Su quickly bowed to Chu Tian, "Congratulations Eldest Brother Chu, you are now a famous person in the Western World."

"What are you doing?" Chu Tian became anxious and said to Leo, "Then wouldn't that mean I am the son of you and Ye Na? "No way, no way."

"How can you say that?" Leo earnestly corrected, "You are my good friend, not my son. My son took your name in memory of our pure and precious friendship."

Ye Na looked at Chu Tian and laughed, "A foreigner has such a habit, it's because of good intentions, you don't know how to appreciate favors."

Chu Tian did not know whether to laugh or cry. "Looks like I've become the emissary of China's Western Culture Exchange, then if you had a daughter, what would you call it?"

"Of course it's called Chu Su, it's to commemorate our friendship." Leo continued to speak with a seemingly sincere attitude.

Mai Su touched his forehead. "Luckily, your surname is not Mai."

At this moment, Soo Soo was covering her mouth and laughing.
