Chapter 607: Home chat

"Vivienne, how was your first semester at Stanford?"
Vivienne tilted her cute little head and thought for a moment before repliing: "Well, it's not bad. I like the climate there. The atmosphere of the school is also very comfortable. The friends are very friendly. If you don't consider the school cafeteria, it is bad. For food, you can get a full score."
"It seems that my little princess likes it very much, how about it? Tell grandpa, have you made any new friends?"
"Of course there is, my roommate Kaidi is, she is very special. She is from Texas, and her father seems to be an engineer from Texas Instruments. I guess this is the reason why she chose electronics, but I haven't figured it out. A girl like her, um, she’s the typical cowboy character, all day long, grinning and joking. I don’t know how she can deal with the dense circuit diagrams like spider webs."
"Haha, maybe she has any special hobbies, Stanford's electronics major, but the top in the country, since she can be admitted, she must have a very strong ability."
"Grandpa, what you said is true. Her hobbies are quite special... I have read her textbooks. There are eleven homework in the first semester of the first grade. Most of the content is like a bible book to me. It’s really hard for her to get 6 A's and 5 B's."
"This result is pretty good. After all, it was Stanford. How about our little princess's grade?"
"Hee hee, grandpa, your granddaughter is very hardworking, so, there is only one B in the 7 subjects this semester, and the others are all A."
"Haha, okay, my dear granddaughter has always been so good and has done so well in the exam. Grandpa will give you a reward. Say, what do you want? Grandpa will buy it for you."
"Grandpa, you're the best." Vivian happily jumped onto the sofa, and while sitting next to Grandpa, she put her arm around his shoulder and poked her small mouth, thinking hesitantly while muttering: " Well, let me think about it, what gift do I want?"
While the grandfather and grandson were chatting, the door of the room was pushed open, and a woman with silver hair pushed the door and walked in. This woman is obviously a little older, but she is still graceful and graceful, which makes people can’t help but Sigh, although the years have taken away her youth, they have not taken away her beauty. Instead, they have left a touch of calmness and calmness between her gestures.
She walked in, looked at Vivienne lovingly, and said with a smile: "What are you talking about? So happy, the food is ready, let's say okay while eating? Vivienne, today we have your favorite braised pork , And chicken stewed with mushrooms".
Vivienne immediately threw behind the gift list she had just pondered, jumped off the sofa with a cheer, and hugged the man and said: "Grandma is the best, knowing that I suffered at Stanford. There is food in the cafeteria. It's just pig food, I don't know how I came here this semester."
New York, Long Island.
The noon sun penetrated the spotlessly polished window glass into this three-story villa, reflected on the dining table, and the room was fully heated, warming the atmosphere in this small building. , Very warm.
Vivian, while tasting the food prepared by her grandma's own chef for her precious granddaughter, kept chatting, telling her grandparents what she had seen and heard at Stanford over the past six months, and the grandparents also smiled. While listening, she kept putting vegetables in her bowl, echoing a few sentences from time to time.
After talking for a long time, Vivian finally realized that there was something wrong, and the dishes in her bowl became more and more!
She couldn't help but groaned: "Grandpa and grandma, don't give me any more vegetables. If you continue to eat like this, I will get fat."
The grandmother smiled and said, "What does it matter to eat fat? Healthy, look at the blessing."
Vivienne pursed her lips and said: "No, it won't look good if you are fat, grandma, you don't know, my roommate, Caddy, is a little fat man, but the boyfriend she was looking for is even more weird..."
Having said this, she suddenly realized something was wrong, and quickly stopped, not daring to continue.
It's a pity that it's too late. When grandparents heard this topic, they paused slightly and looked at each other. Then grandma asked casually, "Oh, your roommate Caddy has already found a boyfriend? What about you? Vivienne, is there any boy chasing you?"
"No, no."
Vivienne dared not look into her grandma's eyes, and lowered her head as if trying to deal with the food in her bowl, but the flash of flush on her face quickly betrayed her.
They were all people who came here. Grandpa and grandma quickly looked at each other again, and immediately understood that her little princess had grown up and her love affair had opened up, and she must have met someone. However, the little girl was thin-skinned and couldn't rush to inquire about this matter, so the two of them smiled relatively slightly, and they changed the topic and did not continue to inquire.
After eating, Vivian and Grandpa went back to the living room and continued to chat, chatting, inadvertently, Grandpa turned the topic back to the issue that he was particularly concerned about.
"Vivienne, you have been at Stanford for half a year, have you met any special boys?"
"Well, this, this..."
"Vivian, it's okay, tell grandpa, you have grown up, you have this freedom, and grandpa is a past person, you should learn from him."
"...Grandpa, you are necrotic, okay, let me tell you, but you must not tell my father, we... are just friends, good friends now."
"Okay, Grandpa promises you that you will never say a word to your father without your consent."
"Well, um, how should I put it, Eric is from China Mainland, but, unlike our usual impression, he is not as shabby and old as the other overseas students from the mainland. , In fact, he is the same age as me and the same major as Kaidi, they are classmates."
"From the mainland?" Grandpa couldn't help frowning. In his impression, China Mainland is still inseparable from the negative words such as obscuration and backwardness. If nothing else, the general economic situation there is not good. Although my little princess did not grow up in the house of the rich, but she has been a worry-free child since she was a child, and has never suffered. Will this be a problem?
Vivienne didn’t pay attention to Grandpa’s face. She opened her head, and she couldn’t control herself. She began to talk incessantly: "Grandpa, I told you that I have never seen a person as smart as him. I told him that my Chinese name is Lu Caiwei, and he guessed that you gave me my name. I asked him why, and he said my name was derived from the poem "The Book of Songs · Plucking Wei" , And said that the person who can give me this name must have a very deep Chinese culture, and..."
"And what?" Grandpa was aroused by Vivian's narration. He also thought this little guy from China Mainland was a bit interesting, and couldn't help asking.
"Furthermore, he also said that you and your grandma's miss for Huaxia's homeland has gone deep into your bones."
Grandpa fell into silence for a long time, and sighed for a long time: "Vivienne, he was right. It seems that he is indeed a very smart person, at least very understanding."
After receiving grandpa’s approval, Vivian said with some pride:
Yeah, he’s really smart. Grandpa, do you know? My roommate, Katie, looks at him all day long, but she’s actually very hardworking. I still work hard. I know this best. I often sleep until midnight and wake up and see her nibbling on a book. Even so, she ended up with only 6 A and 5 B, but Eric The guy doesn’t know how to learn. He has been absent from class since the first day of school. He said he went to London to do some major business. He didn’t return to school until November, and he had a fight with others during the period. The lawsuit, just like that, in the final assessment, he actually got all A's!"
Grandpa's brows suddenly wrinkled. This Eric, who has touched the heart of his precious granddaughter, is obviously not a peaceful master. It doesn't matter if he is absent from school as soon as school starts, he can get a lawsuit within a few days of coming to the United States. How can you mix with such a person?
He couldn't help asking seriously: "Vivian, how could that Eric get into the lawsuit?"
Seeing the look on Grandpa's face, Vivian realized that she was a bit of a mistake, and secretly regretted saying too much, but since the words had been spoken, she had to recruit from the truth.
So, she started with Eric joining the "Wall Street Thrones" club, when he was invited to participate in the club’s welcome party and clashed with Matthew Mellon, and talked about the fact that Matthew Mellon voluntarily withdrew the lawsuit and dropped out of Stanford. After picking up everything she knew, she told Grandpa again.
At the end, she took a peek at grandpa's solemn expression, knowing that grandpa must have no good impression of this troublemaker Eric, and she couldn't help but add some good words to Xiao Tan Tan, and Xiao Tan Tan has quite a bit Of course, her economic strength and the fact that she is a small inventor are part of her emphasis.
Grandpa listened to Vivienne silently, and then he was silent for a long time before he said: "I remember you when you said that. I also heard about this Eric. The case you mentioned was in New York not long ago. It has also been widely publicized in the newspapers, and it has caused a sensation. In my opinion, this case turned out to be a tool for the U.S. Democratic and Republican parties to fight and fight each other. There must be a lot of indispensable elements. To tell people. To be honest, Vivienne, I don’t like this approach, and I don’t like this Eric Tan. Our family is of Chinese descent, and what is the status of Chinese descent in the political ecology of the United States? I think you should I know, it’s not as good as black, so we’d better keep a low profile in the U.S. We don’t want you to get too close to politics in the future, because that’s so dark and dirty, it’s not a simple little girl like you. I can handle it."
"But Grandpa, Zhenhua, he did nothing wrong in this matter. He was forced and a victim. He was assassinated for this..."
"Have you been assassinated? Then you can't get too close to him. I don't want my little princess to encounter any accidents... Wait a minute, you just said that Eric's Chinese name is Zhenhua?"
"Yes, grandpa, his Chinese name is Tan Zhenhua, what's the matter, grandpa, is there any problem?"
