On the fifth day of the fifth lunar month, it is the Dragon Boat Festival of another year.

At noon today, when I was just thinking about going downstairs for dinner, my mother called me, and before answering the phone, I could probably guess what my mother wanted to say to me when I called me - since I went to other places, from the university to study in D City, and now to Guangzhou for development, every year during the Dragon Boat Festival, my mother will give me express zongzi. With this good news in advance, I picked up the phone in a cheerful mood.

"Hey, Mom, happy holidays, do you want to tell me to send me zongzi?"

My mother also smiled and said, "Yes, this has been a practice for several years, the zongzi sent last night, you should have received it at noon today, the address of the courier is your company, you should pay attention to check it." ”

"I know, my mother is the best! But I didn't expect you to send it to the company, aren't you afraid that I will give myself a holiday today?" I looked out the office window, and it was just me and Qi Min, as well as a few colleagues who came to work today.

"I don't know you yet? You wish you could devote all your time to work. The old mother paused for a while, and suddenly asked in a concerned tone: "By the way, how are you and Xiaoyue now?" Ah Ting, if you want me to say, career is important, but you can't ignore Xiaoyue, you have to accompany her more, you are all not small, you have to think about the future, and strive to have the next step in your relationship as soon as possible. ”

As soon as my mother said this, I suddenly remembered that I didn't tell my family about my proposal to Han Yue a few days ago, so I hesitated for a while before confessing: "Uh, what, let me tell you something." ”

"What's wrong? Good thing or bad thing?"

"Okay, it's a good thing, that is, I proposed to Han Yue a few days ago, and she agreed to me, but I didn't tell you at the time. "The more I talked about the back, the quieter my voice became, and I had almost no confidence, for fear that my mother would blame me.

Sure enough, my mother really reproached me: "Okay, you, you don't even talk about such a big thing to the family!" The old mother groaned, and then asked tentatively: "Then, what is the attitude of Xiaoyue's family? Have you ever thought about when the wedding will be held?"

"Oh, Mom, it's the 21st century now, and we young people are all in charge of our own emotional affairs! As for Han Yue's attitude towards her family, this shouldn't be a big problem. ”

"What do you mean by 'should'? Haven't you even asked clearly? No, no, no, your father and I will go to Guangzhou this Saturday, and this marriage proposal has been successful, so the parents of both sides will definitely meet and plan the rest of the matter." ”

As soon as my mother said this, I immediately panicked, and hurriedly persuaded me: "No, Mom, you are too anxious, Han Yue and I may not have time, besides, we are not in a hurry, you also give us some time Let's take it slowly!"

"No, this matter is settled, you remember to make an appointment for us to meet, okay, don't talk about it, you pay attention to the phone to get the zongzi, hang up." ”

Mom just hung up the phone, leaving me still holding the phone with a confused face, alas, what should I do now, I don't know how to mention this matter to Han Yue, and I'm not mentally prepared at all now.

Not long after, I received a call from the courier that the zongzi had arrived. After taking the zongzi, I went up and distributed some to Qi Min, asking him to take it back, and the people in the dormitory who went to school had eaten the zongzi I brought at home, and they were all unanimously praised, so Qi Min naturally felt very happy.

"Ahh Qi Min took a bite of the zongzi and praised it beautifully.

I smiled and said, "Don't eat too much, it's damp, go back and make some dampness tea." ”

Qi Min raised his head and looked at me as if he suddenly remembered something: "Hey, today's Dragon Boat Festival, everyone should have a holiday, you can call Han Yue to come to my house for dinner in the evening, Mengjun has to take the child and breastfeed, so it's not convenient to go out to eat." ”

"Tonight...... I'm not sure what the arrangements are for the time being, so I'll ask her later what the situation is. "Immediately after, as soon as I finished saying this, Han Yue sent me a message-

"I'm not going back to work in the afternoon, do you have any plans for the afternoon and evening? I want to go shopping, and then buy groceries and cook at home." ”

After reading the message, I held my mobile phone and shook it in front of Qi Min, "Speaking of Cao Cao Cao Cao, it seems that we can only make an appointment another day." ”

He nodded and agreed with what I said, "Okay, it should be, now that people are your fiancées, the lives of both parties will be more biased towards their respective families." ”

......

After eating at noon, I left the company at about two o'clock and went to find Han Yue to meet. After seeing the above, we went to a large shopping mall nearby to visit the lifestyle supermarket inside.

In the mall, I held Han Yue's hand and pushed the shopping cart with the other hand, "It's rare that you suddenly have the idea of wanting to buy vegetables and cook at home, are you more confident in your cooking skills now?"

She pursed her lips and smiled, stopped in the vegetable area, and looked at the vegetables on the shelf, "That's it, cooking is about mood, it's not difficult to learn, not to mention that I just happened to be on vacation today, and I want to cook a meal for my dad." ”

I was immediately surprised in my heart, I didn't expect that what she said about buying vegetables and going home meant her own home, this meal was made for Han Qingxiao to eat, and the pressure in my heart came up all of a sudden.

"When you say that, I feel a little nervous. ”

"Isn't someone still very confident before, my father has promised you to marry me, to meet your future father-in-law, why are you nervous?" Han Yue picked up a radish and gently knocked it on my head.

"It's different, it's a normal psychological reaction. ”

I remembered that my mother called me at noon and said that she was going to come to Guangzhou to meet Han Yue's family to talk about the wedding, and I haven't told Han Yue about this yet, but let's not talk about it now, and then decide when to say it when I will see what the situation is when I go to see Han Qingxiao tonight.

Visiting the supermarket, it took us an hour to finally finish shopping, I was carrying a big bag of things in my left and right hands, Han Yue was too exaggerated, if I ate this amount by myself, it was estimated that I could eat it for several days.

Back at Han Yue's house, the two of us cooked together in the kitchen, and even the housekeeper was "driven away" by Han Yue. A total of 8 dishes were made for this dinner, but only the stir-fried choy sum was made by Han Yue, and the others were all made by me, and this was the first time I cooked it myself at her house.

When preparing to start the meal, Han Qingxiao smiled and took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet, this bottle of wine was taken out of the cabinet under the wine cabinet, and at a glance, he knew that this wine was much more expensive than the other wines on it.

When he was just thinking about finding a corkscrew, Han Yue immediately stepped forward to stop him and persuaded: "Dad, don't drink tonight, I boiled chicken soup, everyone just drink soup, your body has not stabilized, you have to drink less alcohol, besides, Cheng Ting has to drive back at night." ”

Han Qingxiao looked at me with an inquiring gaze, I pursed my lips helplessly, glanced at Han Yue, and motioned to listen to Han Yue. He smiled "haha", "Okay, then listen to my good daughter, don't you two cook by yourself, Yue'er also boiled chicken soup, then let's drink soup." ”

During the meal, Han Qingxiao suddenly looked at me and asked, "Cheng Ting, look, now that you are engaged to Yue'er, this marriage should also be arranged, and now your parents are ......."

Sure enough, the time to come is still coming. I was silent for a while, smiled and said: "Actually, my mother called me at noon today, and also talked about it, and said that I would come to Guangzhou with my father on Saturday. ”

Han Yue frowned and gave me a look, I could see what she meant, so I went on to explain: "Uh, I originally wanted to tell you about this tonight, but I didn't expect to come to your house for dinner, so I ....."

Han Qingxiao smiled heartily and added a piece of chicken to my bowl, "Okay, okay, then let's talk about the wedding when your parents come to Guangzhou, but it mainly depends on when the two of you plan to set it." ”

"Dad~" Han Yue's tone was a little helpless, "Now that Cheng Ting's companies and I are in a stage of rapid development, there is no need to be so anxious about the wedding." ”

"You're not in a hurry, but people are in a hurry!" Han Qingxiao looked at me, and that look seemed to be sending me a hint signal.

This scene almost choked me while I was drinking the soup, and I put the bowl on the table, "Uh, uncle, this, I listen to Han Yue, it's up to her to decide." ”

"You two have reached a tacit understanding so quickly, haha, okay, then it's up to you to decide. ”

......

The dinner ended at about 7 o'clock, because we started the meal at about 5 o'clock, and then Han Qingxiao made me and Han Yue tea to drink, and continued to chat in the tea room, saying some homely words and telling me some stories about Han Yue's childhood. The feeling I had this evening was that although we have not officially become a family, we already feel like family.
