lucky to meet you

Chapter 41 No matter how unwilling you are to take this road in the future, at least I will be there (1)
So we had dinner at noon the next day, bid farewell to grandma, and they continued to take the train.Grandpa's house is in the Tuscany region, which is said to be a place rich in good wine.

Luca nodded: "That's right, Duccio has a vineyard, and his favorite thing to do is to grow and pick grapes."

Gan Tiantian smiled: "Your cousin's hobbies are very special."

Luca shrugged: "Because grapes can help him make a lot of money."

Get rich using science?Gan Tiantian realized: So you can buy a Lamborghini by selling grapes!

Sweet and sweet, the handsome Duccio was wearing an old farmer's straw hat and was picking grapes under the sun. Her mobile phone vibrated suddenly. She took out the phone and found that the caller ID on it was actually her mother. Suddenly, he answered the phone anxiously, for fear that something happened at home.

"Hello, Mom!" Gan Tiantian called out nervously, but her mother's voice on the other end of the phone was normal.

"Sweetie, what are you doing?"

"Luka and I took the train to his house to meet the parents." Gan Tiantian was not sure what happened, she clearly caught the translation voice floating on the TV on the other end of the phone, and her mother was watching a Korean drama again Or a Thai drama?
"It's that handsome Italian guy?" Mama Gan paused for a moment, then said in confusion, "Are you two still talking? We didn't break up..."

Gan Tiantian didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "What are you talking about?"

On the other end of the phone, Mama Ye seemed to be sitting next to Mama Gan. She probably watched Korean dramas and saw the sad part. She beeped twice and was blowing her nose with a tissue.

"Too handsome man is easy to spend, you say you..." Gan's mother said worriedly, "You practiced martial arts with your father when you were young, and you are almost a washboard. Why does a handsome man like you? He What are you trying to do?"

Gan Tiantian: "..."

She couldn't help lowering her head when she heard the words, she almost wanted to growl: Is the washboard like me? !
"Sweet," Gan's mother said again, "The man is too handsome to control, and he is too rich to control. How is your boyfriend's family?"

Gan Tiantian said categorically: "No! He is poor! We both walk, take the bus, and take the train when we go out!"

The sound of the train's "clang clang clang clang" reached Mama Gan's ears very convincingly, and Mama Gan raised her heart just after letting go: "Why are you so poor? Didn't you say that foreign cars are not expensive, and almost everyone owns one? Abroad Are the troops treated poorly?"

Gan Tiantian almost made her mother's tone go crazy. Luca raised her chin and glanced at her in surprise, Gan Tiantian said depressedly: "He is frugal and environmentally friendly. We are contributing to the mother earth's ability to enjoy her old age in peace."

"Hey, sweet," Mom Gan said melancholy, "Can't you find someone who is not so handsome? I'm afraid you're stupid and can't control him."

"It's late..." Gan Tiantian said.

"Why?" Mom Gan said anxiously, "You wouldn't tell him..."

"Don't be bloody?" Gan Tiantian hurriedly strangled her mother's fantasies to death in the airwaves, handed the phone to Luka's ear with a smirk, and mouthed to him, "Follow me—Mom!"

The pronunciation of "Mom" in Italian is basically the same as that in Chinese. Luca obviously knew what kind of trick Gan Tiantian was playing. He laughed so hard that the lines in the corners of his eyes came out, and he slowly uttered: "Mom-Mom."

Gan Tiantian nodded at him with a suppressed smile in satisfaction, and Luka embraced her indulgently and kissed her.

On the other end of the phone, Mama Gan held the phone with her eyes glazed over as if struck by lightning.

After blowing her nose and wiping her tears, Ye Ma turned her head to look at Gan Ma in surprise, and said, "Sister Gan, what's wrong with you?"

Mama Gan's throat moved, and she murmured, "It's just a shock, no... nothing..."

After getting off the train and exiting the platform, Du Qiao stood at the exit looking forward to it, and when he saw them coming out, he waved his hand.

Gan Tiantian caught a glimpse of Luka shaking his head helplessly and smiled, apparently in a good mood.

Du Qiao first rushed forward to stick close to Gan Tiantian, and then turned around and punched Luka: "Hey! Luka! If grandma hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known I was cheated by you."

Luka raised his eyebrows and gave him a word: "Stupid."

"You're stupid!" Duccio retorted him, and took them to the parking lot on the side of the road, "See how kind I am, I'm here to pick you up."

Duccio changed to a white Alfa Romeo made in Milan today, and it looks relatively low-key in appearance.

Luka opened the door of the rear compartment and sat in with Gan Tiantian. Duccio shrugged his shoulders and blew a whistle, deliberately provoking Luca: "You let the beauty sit in the passenger seat? I'm not good at driving, will the beauty get motion sickness? "

Luka glanced at him for two seconds with a half-smile, and got out again with Gan Tiantian. He let Gan Tiantian sit in the passenger seat, turned around and stuffed Duccio into the rear compartment with twisted arms, and sat in the driver's seat by himself. position, raised his eyes to the rearview mirror and said to Duccio: "You reminded me, your driving skills are not good, so you sit down, I will come!"

Duccio: "..."

Luka drove the car for more than an hour before stopping. Gan Tiantian noticed that they had driven from the city to the outside of the city. When the car drove into a manor, Gan Tiantian didn't react and sat in the co-pilot Dizzy and dozing off.

"Honey, we're here." Luka took off his seat belt and got out of the car, turned to Gan Tiantian's side and dragged her down, letting her stand with her head resting on his shoulder.

Duccio climbed down from behind self-sufficiently, and handed over the car to a young boy who was waiting on the side but couldn't get his hands to open the door, and asked him to drive the car away.

It was already dark, and the lights were turned on in the manor. The dim lights made the manor look mysterious, simple and solemn. The lights on the mountainside in the distance looked like a group of scattered fireflies.

Gan Tiantian woke up after blinking her eyes a few times, then she was stunned when she raised her head.

"This is..." Gan Tiantian's brain's CPU stopped spinning, she looked at the magnificent old manor in front of her, and her breath was frightened for a second, "Where is it?"

"My grandfather's house." Luca said calmly.

"To be exact," Duccio stood beside them, looking up at the majestic building, and narrated a very common thing in a flat tone without showing off, just like a math teacher introducing a formula, "Here is The manor where the Viscounts of the Maggio family inherited and lived."

Gan Tiantian made "Viscount" and "Hereditary" face-to-face blurred, and the drowsiness disappeared instantly.

"I... rub..." Gan Tiantian spat out a sentence in Chinese, "Kaka" turned her head to stare at Luca, and switched back to Italian in disbelief, "Don't... scare me...I'm afraid Small……"

Duccio laughed out loud, and Luca couldn't help raising the corner of his mouth and said, "You have learned Italian for so long, don't you know what it means to add a Di in front of your surname?"

"What about most of the Di," Duccio explained, acting as Wikipedia, "representing the surname, the aristocracy."

Gan Tiantian covered her face and shook her head in pain. If her mother knew that her boyfriend was poor, but he was a nobleman, they would definitely be separated!

"Go in," Luca put his arms around her calmly, "Anyway, the viscount is my grandfather, not me. My property is the small building in Modena, poor."

Sweetly smiling, the chaotic emotions smashed his crying to pieces.

"Come on, let's go in." Duccio made a gentleman's invitation gesture, and said to the open hall door, "Beautiful Miss Dongfang."

The dinner time for Italians is usually around eight o'clock in the evening. When Gan Tiantian and his group arrived, they happened to be stuck.

As soon as she entered the magnificent hall, Gan Tiantian felt that she was not much different from the first time she entered the city. The world in front of her was simply another dimension.

The size of the hall is equivalent to a school auditorium. The main color is red and gold, which is inexplicably noble. The carpet with complicated patterns spreads far away, and the rose-shaped wall lamps wrapped in gold leaves circle around the wall. On the top hangs the legendary Italian The chandelier, hanging from the ceiling to the ground, is as graceful and luxurious as a lady wearing a complicated palace dress, and the layered skirts are covered with crystal petal-shaped pendants.

"Mr. Viscount is waiting for everyone in the banquet hall." A middle-aged man with a calm temperament came from the front, wearing a decent suit, with his hands folded in front of him.

Gan Tiantian blinked her eyes, and suddenly remembered that the housekeepers that often appeared in the cartoons she watched in high school were almost like this, and their common feature was that they all wore tuxedos.

Gan Tiantian's eyes couldn't help turning around behind the middle-aged gentleman, Luka held her hand, and asked strangely: "Honey, what are you looking at?"

Gan Tiantian whispered to him: "I'm looking to see if this gentleman is wearing a tuxedo."

Luca: "?"

"It's fine if you don't understand," Gan Tiantian whispered, "It seems that you don't like watching anime."

Luca was confused, but Duccio laughed with a "puchi": "He didn't wear it."

Gan Tiantian regretted: "It seems that there is still a certain gap between reality and animation."

Duccio laughed.

The three of them were walking and talking in the hall, when a door suddenly opened on the front side, and a well-dressed old man slowly walked over from behind the heavy door, his leather shoes buckled on the floor, and the sound of footsteps echoed throughout the hall.

"Luca, you are so late again."

The old man was dressed in luxurious clothes and had a haughty expression. Even facing Luca, he held his head high, like a lonely and dictatorial ruler who only accepted the worship of his people.

Luka held Gan Tiantian's hand tightly and then loosened it. There was no disgust in Gan Tiantian's eyes. He just said helplessly, "Grandpa, good evening."

Gan Tiantian couldn't help thinking, there seemed to be nothing but hatred between the grandpa and grandson.

"Luka, why don't you want to come back?" Lord Viscount said in a condescending tone with a glance down from the corner of his eyes, "Grandpa knows you don't like crowds, look, there are only a few of us in today's dinner, Grandpa Knowing that you don't like the dance, and the festival's dance was canceled because of you, why do you still feel dissatisfied?"

Gan Tiantian: "..."

You said that you always throw a cup, pointing at Luca's nose and yelling, "You unfilial son, why don't you come back to see me? I'm almost half buried in the loess, do you know that? Ah! Do you know?" , the effect will be much better!

Gan Tiantian couldn't help but look up, Luca had nothing but helplessness in his eyes, and after meeting Gan Tiantian for a short time, he cast his gaze on Grandpa, and said softly, "Grandpa, Tiantian and I are hungry, let's chat while eating .”

Grandpa tilted his head and nodded lightly, then took a few steps forward, stretched out his hand to Gan Tiantian, with the other hand across his stomach, and shook hands with her, with a hint of pride in his tone: "I'm Brando Viscount Di Maggio, welcome, fair lady."

Gan Tiantian shook hands with the legendary nobleman, and introduced herself: "Hi, my name is Gān Tián Tián."

The Viscount was stunned for a moment, then quickly recovered, facing the banquet hall, with a stiff tongue, making a gentleman's invitation gesture: "Miss Gān, please."

Gan Tiantian twitched the corner of her mouth and gave him a smile, raised her hand to hook Luka's finger and walked in with him, couldn't help sighing, if she were Luka, she would rather take seven days off, five days at grandma's house, two days at Grandpa's house.

Going home for a festival, the ceremony is more than ancestor worship, and the atmosphere is more dignified!
The color tone of the dinner hall is not consistent with the outside. Large landscape oil paintings are hung on the milky white walls, and the base of the decorative statue in the corner is a large piece of amethyst.

The ceiling of the dinner hall is very high, and a small chandelier is hung at intervals, and the wick is an electronic candle.

Under the lamp is a long table covered with a white tablecloth, which is 20 meters long. Several groups of candlesticks are burning on the table, and several sets of tableware are placed near the left end.

Grandpa Viscount was the first to sit down on the main seat, and then stretched out his hand to signal others to take their seats.

Gan Tiantian sat on the side with Luca, and Duccio sat opposite them. After a while, a girl with the appearance of a maid came in with a plate, and placed the plate with a circle of golden patterns in front of them. They pour wine.

"This is red wine that has been stored in our family's wine cellar for more than 30 years," Grandpa Viscount gracefully held a goblet to Gan Tiantian, "Miss Gan, would you like to try it?"

Gan Tiantian's hand holding the wine glass couldn't help shaking, she said thank you stiffly, and was about to toast with Grandpa, but Grandpa Viscount turned the glass around twice, raised it above his head to signal her, and drank it himself .

I rely on! 30 years of red wine! Lafite in 82?
Don't be like this, grandpa, when Luca arrives in China, will my dad still have to find a bottle of 82-year-old Moutai?
It's just a family meal, and orange juice and cola are fine!
You learn from grandma!Treat us to pizza on the first day!

After Gan Tiantian roared in her heart, she took a sip of the wine that was said to be older than her. Most Italian wines were sour, so she didn't like it very much. Besides, she really didn't understand wine, so she couldn't taste anything special.

"Do you like it?" Grandpa asked.

Sweet dessert: "I like it."

"Good taste." Grandpa Viscount praised Gan Tiantian indifferently.

Gan Tiantian: "..."

"Let's start the dinner." Even if there are only four people sitting in the whole hall, Grandpa Viscount still pretended to be in place. He beckoned a maid standing in the corner to come forward, lit up the candles, and said, "Please taste Food from our estate."

What do you mean?Do you grow your own vegetables, or are these things not from takeaway?Gan Tiantian was at a loss, she didn't know how to respond other than to say thank you.

The atmosphere was really strange. This meal was served with a dish. Grandpa introduced it and said: Ah, what is this, try it.

After eating Gan Tiantian, grandpa asked: Do you like it?

Sweet dessert.

Grandpa said: Well, good taste.

The four steps are repeated in circles.

Luca and Duccio didn't say a word, they lowered their heads and ate at a three times slower speed, keeping food in their mouths at all times, for fear that grandpa would take the time to talk to them.

Gan Tiantian held the knife and fork and raised her head, feeling that grandpa was also quite lonely.

She secretly glanced at the elegant and noble sitting posture of grandpa, and thought that he just wanted to pretend to be a high-profile guy, and someone would appreciate him.

However, everyone is a mortal with fishy lips and cannot appreciate this kind of "ancient" style.

After eating, grandpa wiped the corners of his mouth with a napkin, and waved them away.

Grandpa said: "Miss Gan, let Luca take you around. Everything here is of historical significance. They are all the glory of Viscount Maggio."

Three black lines slid down Gan Tiantian's forehead: "Okay."

"Let's go and see Glory," Luka said to his grandpa, putting his arms around Tiantian's shoulders, "Grandpa, goodbye."

Luca took Gan Tiantian out of the banquet hall, and Grandpa left Duccio alone.

Luka walked around Gan Tiantian and went directly to the second floor. Gan Tiantian stood on the steps and looked down at half of the hall, and said in surprise, "Don't you want to see the glory of your family? According to TV dramas, the second floor of a mansion is usually not full of bedroom?"

Luka smiled when he heard the words: "Are you interested in watching Glory?"

Gan Tiantian blinked, and shook her head honestly: "No, let's go to the bedroom, no! If you don't look at your grandfather, will he be angry?"

Luka hesitated for a moment, Gan Tiantian took his hand and turned back downstairs: "Let's go! Let's go to the garden outside and enjoy the appearance of the building and the night view of the manor. It is also very helpful to understand the glory of your family. It helps."

Luka smiled, put his arms around her and kissed her, led her out of the hall, turned around half a circle outside the building, sat on the bench outside the garden, leaned on it and let out a long breath.

Gan Tiantian sat next to him, leaning on his shoulder, looking up at the stars. The air quality in Italy is very good, and the stars are shining brightly at night.

"What do you want to say, say it."

"I'll tell you a story," Luca said slowly, "It's a very boring story."

"Tell me," Gan Tiantian pretended to listen attentively, "Your story, you have been hiding it since you met me."

Luka glanced at her depressedly, and frowned sadly: "Because it's really boring, I'm unhappy and annoying when I mention it."

Luca put his lips against Tiantian's forehead, lost his mind for a while, and said, "The origin of the matter is that grandpa's grandpa made military exploits during World War II, which is extremely glorious..."

And what about the Italians who made military exploits in World War II?Gan Tiantian turned her eyes to look at him in surprise, and Luca sensed her doubts, and said even more helplessly: "Don't be brainwashed by online content mocking Italy's World War II, okay? Italy also played a role in World War II."
