Chapter 18: The Taste of Waiting
The ratings of the first episode of "A Date with You" hosted by Su Qing ranked well in the satellite TV station as soon as it was broadcast, and now the network is developed, and people also love to watch some variety shows.
Not only young people but also middle-aged and elderly people will also watch it, and Xue Shao's mother is one of them. Don't look at his mother in her sixties and chasing dramas, or some idol dramas, in short, she likes to watch everything that young people love.
Xue Shao's parents are retired, and his mother goes out for a walk every day, cooks at home, watches TV, dances, and by the way, his mother also loves online shopping.
On Sundays, his mom came home from a walk as usual and sat on the couch watching TV, while his dad sat and read the newspaper.
His mother found a TV ace program that he was chasing and watched it, and there were comedians and fun games in that variety show. The show is particularly funny, and every time his mom is there and laughs, his dad looks at his mom with the eyes of a fool every time.
His dad really doesn't understand what's funny, a bunch of fool-like people are showing off there, and his dad really doesn't understand the hearts of young people. The show lasted for more than an hour before it ended, and his mother hadn't seen enough of it and was looking for other variety shows.
Flipping through the remote control and saw Fu Jingqian's promotional picture, his mother clicked in. After the picture came out, it was the scene where Fu Jingqian and Su Qing sat on the sofa and started a conversation.
Xue Shao's mother called out to his father: "The old man watched Fu Jingqian on TV." ”
His father didn't raise his head and said: "Is that kid on the entertainment headlines again, and has something to do with which female star." ”
"Oops not the headlines, talk shows. ”
Xue Shao's father finally looked up: "He is still on a talk show, does he also want to be popular?"
"It doesn't matter if he's popular or not, what do you think of the host?"
"I said it's good-looking, you're going to be jealous again. ”
"Oh, you old thing, I mean, if you think it's good-looking, I'll ask someone and introduce your son. ”
"Don't harm other girls, your son's virtue is really not worthy of a daughter-in-law. ”
"Then he can't be an old bachelor. ”
"He can go up the mountain and become a monk. ”
"Is he your son who has suffered a thousand cuts, I still want to hold my grandson as soon as possible. ”
"You can take care of what you want, as long as he is willing to meet other girls. ”
Xue Shao's mother put down the remote control and ran to the room, took out her mobile phone and began to call her sisters, asking them if anyone knew the leader of the TV station.
Not to mention that there are really people who know her, the woman surnamed Huang usually dances with her and she says she knows. When Xue Shao's mother heard this, she quickly said her thoughts: "I watched the show "An Date with You", I think the female host is temperamental and beautiful, and I want you to set up a line so that she and my son can meet and get to know each other." ”
The lady Huang said, "Mrs. Xue, you want your son to go on a blind date with that host." ”
Xue Shao's mother sat on the sofa and said with a smile: "Yes, my son doesn't have a girlfriend yet, and both of us are in a hurry." ”
"I've seen your son too, and he's not bad, and he's ambitious, so I'll ask you if the girl is willing. ”
"Oh, thank you then. ”
"Thank you, if I can do it, I will also do a good thing. ”
That Ms. Huang asked for Su Qing's call, and Su Qing first learned about the blind date from the leader. The leader didn't say who it was, but said that the man's mother watched her show and liked her very much, and the family conditions were good, so the leader wanted her to meet her as a friend.
Later, after Ms. Huang called, Su Qing knew that it was Xue Shao who was going to meet, maybe Xue Shao and his mother had forgotten that they had gone on a blind date two years ago.
Now that his mother has asked the two of them to go on a blind date, and they just met at the bar two weeks ago, Su Qing can't wait to see what Xue Shao's expression will be when he sees him.
Xue Shao didn't show up at all last time, so this time she sat in the car to see if Xue Shao went.
Xue Shao didn't want to go, her mother said that the other party was the host, and she was very beautiful, and said that if he messed up this time, he would be served with a belt when he came back.
Forced by his mother's threat, he went, and he did as his mother told him to go to the private room, but there was no one inside. Xue Shao saw that there were still a few minutes left, so he sat down and made himself a pot of tea, tasting it slowly, this sitting was half an hour.
He glanced at the time, half an hour had passed, and the door was pushed open from the outside when he stood up and was about to leave.
Su Qing walked in from outside, and she saw it when Xue Shao came in just now. So she deliberately came in thirty minutes late to make him wait.
Su Qing stretched out his hand: "Hello, Mr. Xue." ”
Xue Shao raised his eyebrows: "It turned out to be the host of Su University." ”
Xue Shao poured a cup of tea for her: "Is Host Su always unpunctual, but he was half an hour late." ”
"Heh, so what? Mr. Xue and the others don't feel good. ”
Xue Shao asked, "What do you mean?"
Su Qing put down the teacup in his hand: "It seems that you really forgot." We went on a blind date two years ago. ”
Xue Shao: "Have you ever gone on a blind date?"
"Let me remind you again, you didn't even go in at that time and said you couldn't look down on me, and I was there alone. ”
Xue Shao frowned and thought for a while and said, "That time, I didn't do it when I had something temporary. ”
"No explanation, I'm not ready to forgive you. I'm here today to say that we're even. ”
After speaking, she stood up and left with her bag, and Xue Shao drove home after drinking the cup of tea.
His mom was basking in the sun in the yard, and his dad was washing grapes at the tap. His parents have lived in a courtyard house for some years, and he used to say that he would help them change houses to live in, and the old couple was reluctant to move when they got used to living in a courtyard.
The house has also been repaired twice, and there is a grape trellis in the yard and some greens are planted. His mother sat up from the recliner when she saw him return.
"Son, how's it going?"
"Mom, we went on a blind date two years ago. ”
"It's okay to meet again. ”
"I didn't go to the house to take revenge that time, this time it was for revenge. ”
"So people don't look down on you?"
"That's not true. ”
"Then there is hope. Son, you have to be cheeky to marry a daughter-in-law. You're just a little dark, and there's nothing wrong with anything else. ”
His father said, "Hmph, it's not a problem to drink and stay up late." ”
"That's right, it hurts the liver and kidneys. Son, you are not too young, you have to change your habits. ”
"Mom, I'm not big. ”
"Thirty is not too old, and other people's children are in kindergarten, so you can find a daughter-in-law. ”
"Mom, I will definitely look for my daughter-in-law in the future. ”
In the evening, Shen Yinan sent them a message: [Do you come out to drink?]
Xue Shao: [Don't drink if you hurt your liver and kidneys. 】
Fu Jingqian: [In order to live happily in the future, it is better not to drink. 】
Shen Yinan: [I don't know what kind of spring you two single dogs are sending there, happy life, where is your happiness?]
Xue Shao: [Talk again, be careful that I cut you.] 】
Shen Yinan: [......]
