Under He Yuan's repeated requests, the aunt finally "reluctantly" accepted the gift.

After taking the things, she didn't look at them, just put them on the coffee table next to her, and then led He Yuan to take a seat.

"Hey, you kid, I've said it, it's a holiday today, so I'll let you come back early. Look, the dishes are cold, and I have to reheat it again, and this electricity bill is not money. As soon as she sat down, the aunt couldn't help it, and grabbed Tian Rui again and began to nag.

Tian Rui was used to it, holding chopsticks in her hand, she kept sandwiching the dishes on the table, and said vaguely: "Don't heat it, this dish is all warm, and you can still eat it now." Dad, don't stand there, come over for dinner together. ”

"Wait, I'll wash two cups first. Uncle's voice came from the next room.

Tian Rui's house is similar to Peng Peng's house, and the layout should be the same. When Peng Peng got married before, He Yuan also rushed over to have a meal, of course, mainly to give a bride price, if I remember correctly, the position of turning left after entering the door is the garage, and the right is the kitchen, dining room, and a bathroom.

"Your father, you have to drink again, every time you tell him to drink less, he just can't help it. The aunt whispered in Tian Rui's ear, and the voice was not suppressed, and it went directly to the kitchen.

Sure enough, He Yuan saw his uncle come out of the kitchen, holding two wine glasses and a bottle of white wine in his hand, and said helplessly to his aunt: "I'll just drink a little wine, a little bit at a time, a little bit, it's good for your body." ”

"Cut, I don't know your wine, every time I drink too much, I get drunk, and I can't pull it. I warn you, Xiaoyuan is here today, don't pour him wine, drink it yourself. The aunt said to her uncle angrily.

Uncle happily took the glass and wine bottle and sat down on the seat. first put a cup in front of him, and then asked He Yuan, "Xiaoyuan, do you want to come a little?"

"Just drink it yourself, don't pull Xiaoyuan. Auntie said.

"Yes, Dad, he doesn't drink, right?" As she spoke, Tian Rui turned her head and asked He Yuan.

"Well, I think you can still drink a little. He Yuan scratched his face.

He Yuan is not unable to drink, when he was in college, sometimes when he went out to dinner, his roommates were happy to drink, and he would accompany him to drink a little, generally speaking, seven or eight bottles of beer did not feel anything. Later, when I went to work, I often accompanied the leaders and customers to drink, and what liquor and strong wine were poured directly into my mouth.

However, He Yuan didn't feel much about drinking itself, he drank like drinking medicine, and his mouth was full of bitter taste. It will not be like some people, who are addicted to alcohol as much as their lives, and they have to drink some wine at every turn to pretend to be literary and artistic, and pretend to be sad. With the money, he would rather buy two cokes, at least he felt that coke was much better than wine.

"Let's have less of that. ”

Hearing He Yuan say that he could drink a little with him, his uncle's eyes lit up, and he took out the wine glass and began to pour it.

"Eh, you pour a little less, enough is enough, this is enough. Tian Rui and Auntie kept staring at the wine glass, and as soon as the uncle poured the bottom of the glass, they immediately screamed, and the aunt reached out directly and stopped the uncle's bottle.

"Not much, not much, it's just a little, two taels are not enough. The uncle chattered, but still put the bottle away in his hand. After closing the lid, the uncle carefully picked up the cup and handed it to He Yuan.

He Yuan hurriedly stood up and took the wine glass with some trepidation.

As soon as he sat down with the cup, He Yuan felt that his arm was touched. As soon as he turned his head, he saw Tian Rui leaning over and whispered in his ear: "My dad is like that, he likes to drink very much, if you can't drink, don't drink, don't go crazy with him." ”

"It's okay, this little wine, it shouldn't be a big problem. He Yuan replied in a low voice.

To be honest, at first, when he heard that he was going to drink, he was a little apprehensive in his heart. Because he has many colleagues from the north, every time he goes home for the Chinese New Year, he will post a lot of photos and videos in the circle of friends, where they have dinner and dinner, and there is wine at every meal, and it is not in a cup, it is all that kind of bowl, a large porcelain bowl, a bowl has at least two or three cups.

He Yuan originally thought that if his uncle also used that kind of bowl, he would fight it today. But fortunately, they are still relatively restrained, just using that kind of small glass, He Yuan took a look, and it was about one or two to two or two wines, basically no problem.

"Come, come, eat, eat. Seeing that the wine was also poured and the people were introduced, the aunt began to beckon everyone to eat, "Xiaoyuan, you came back late, and the dishes were already cold." Otherwise, let's get the food hot first. What are you doing sitting here, why don't you hurry up and get a hot meal?"

When the aunt said the back, she glared at her uncle, and saw that the uncle, who was about 1.8 meters old, looked aggrieved, picked up the food on the table, and was about to enter the kitchen.

"No, no, it's still warm, enough to eat, enough to eat. He Yuan hurriedly said.

"Yes, Mom, don't get it, let's eat first, I'm starving. Tian Rui also helped beside him, while talking, he sandwiched the cold dishes on the table.

"It's okay, there is a battery stove at home, and the hot food is fast. As the uncle said this, he brought a few pots of vegetables and went into the kitchen.

"You, I know you got off work at nine o'clock, so I warmed it up for you, who knew that you came back so late, it's winter, and this just hot dish will be cold in a while. Besides, this dish is full of oil, and eating it cold is not good for your health. Auntie nagged on the side.

Tian Rui had an indifferent expression, and He Yuan smiled on the side.

After such contact, He Yuan felt that Tian Rui's family was also quite easy-going, not as aggressive as he imagined, so he slowly began to relax, and chatted with his aunt without a match.

Soon, the uncle came back with the food heated, and the four of them ate there.

Tian Rui's family cooks a lot of dishes, a large table, and there are at least a dozen dishes on it. In addition to a few cold dishes, there are also braised vegetables, soups, and traditional hard dishes such as roasted yellow eel, boiled fish, etc.

Although it's just a home-cooked meal, the taste is still quite good. In the past, He Yuan was used to eating at home, and he didn't feel anything, but after going to other places, he found that the home-cooked food in his hometown was awesome, much better than many small restaurants in other places, especially this roasted yellow eel, which was called a must, and He Yuan's family made it almost the same, you must know that He Yuan's family has several, and he is a professional chef with a chef certificate.

A few people were eating and chatting at the same time. is different from He Yuan's imagination, Tian Rui's parents basically didn't ask He Yuan's situation, and have been talking about their own family, especially about Tian Rui's ugly things, such as "sleeping alone at night, often kicking the quilt", "what clothes are piled up there, never washed", "when I was a child, because I was too fat, I went to the store to buy clothes, and often I could only buy boys' numbers" and so on, Tian Rui kept being coquettish.

The meal was very relaxed, and the uncle didn't pour He Yuan's wine, he drank it silently there, and he seemed to be a very honest person. This made He Yuan a little embarrassed, every time he took the initiative to toast his uncle, sometimes when he saw his uncle holding up the wine glass, he also hurriedly took the wine glass and ran to toast the wine.

After eating, the uncle began to clean up the table. He Yuan originally wanted to help, but was pressed on the sofa by his aunt, and asked his uncle to make him a cup of tea, and then sat there and chatted with the three of them, only the uncle ran to the kitchen to wash the dishes and clean the table.

Seeing He Yuan's strange eyes, Tian Rui explained: "Our housework is usually done by my father. ”

Thinking of Tian Rui's living habits, He Yuan understood it. It can only be said that my uncle, a tall Sichuan man, has the feeling of being a little man at home in the south of the Yangtze River.

The aunt chatted with them for a while, and then excused herself to go to see how her uncle was doing, and then ran into the kitchen, without asking He Yuan any questions the whole time. After his aunt left, He Yuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and habitually pulled into his pocket.

As soon as he touched the cigarette, He Yuan glanced at the kitchen again, and then whispered to Tian Rui: "I'll go out for a while." ”

"Want to smoke?" Tian Rui asked him, seeing He Yuan nodding, Tian Rui got up and said, "I'll go with you." ”

With that, Tian Rui and He Yuan walked into the courtyard together.

As soon as he arrived at the yard, He Yuan took out his cigarette and lit it for himself. After exhaling a breath, He Yuan finally relaxed, and when he slowed down, He Yuan found that his calves were shaking and shaking, and his whole body was trembling.

"As for it, I'm nervous like this, my parents are not tigers, how can they eat you?" Tian Rui couldn't help but "poof" when she saw He Yuan's appearance, and laughed.

"No, my uncle and aunt are very easy-going, just like you. He Yuandao.

This is the truth, when he came over today, He Yuan was already prepared to face a lot of assessments, so he also checked various materials on the Internet, simulated various scenarios, and even calculated in his heart what kind of questions the other party asked, how to deal with it. Even if others think that he is poor and unworthy of their daughter, He Yuan has already thought about it in his heart, whether to throw out "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully the young man to be poor", and then come to a stalk of "Fighting the horse, the emperor can't catch up with me".

I didn't expect it to be used.

Not to mention embarrassing him, even now, they haven't asked him about his personal and family situation, as if they don't care about these things.

He Yuan felt that he was quite comfortable with Tian Rui before, because she never asked this or that. At that time, He Yuan was still thinking that Tian Rui's personality was quite rare, but he didn't expect her parents to be like this.

It seems that the influence of the family environment is quite large.

"That's right, I told you a long time ago, my parents are very easy-going, you don't believe it. Tian Rui tightened her down jacket, the wind at night was quite strong, they were at the foot of the mountain again, the wind was blowing hula hula, and they drilled into their necks vigorously.

He Yuan rubbed his nose, to be honest, he was really nervous about realizing it, after all, this was the first time for him, and he was always worried that he would not do well and leave a relatively negative impression on others.

Of course, those messes and TV series also had a lot of impact on him. I always feel that seeing my parents is the same feeling as going to the execution ground, I have to show off my wealth at every turn, slap my face or something, and I don't know if people will take a stack of checks out and slap him directly on the face, shouting "How much money do I give you before you can leave my daughter", "You are such a poor person, you are not worthy of being with my daughter".

"Eh, Xiaoyuan, why did you get out. It's so cold outside, why don't you come in and watch TV?"

When He Yuan and Tian Rui were staying outside, the aunt had already returned to the living room, and when she saw that there was no one in the living room, she looked everywhere, and finally found He Yuan and them in the yard.

"Ah, okay, okay, let's go in right away. ”

As soon as he heard this voice, He Yuan was startled, and reflexively hid the cigarette behind him, just like when he was in school, the little children who were smoking in the toilet were caught by the teaching director, and his face was panicked.

However, although He Yuan moved quickly, he was still seen by his aunt, and he saw his aunt and said, "It turns out that Xiaoyuan, you are still smoking, I said it earlier, I will go and get you an ashtray." Come in, there's wind outside, don't be blown away. ”

He Yuan sneered, Tian Rui also covered her mouth and laughed for a while, before she said to her mother: "Okay, Mom, you go in first, we will come in immediately." ”

Finally, Tian Rui coaxed her aunt into the house, He Yuan hurried up, took two more puffs, and then found a corner to extinguish the cigarette butts, then patted his clothes and followed Tian Rui into the house.

There is no TV on the first floor of Tian Rui's house, and if you want to watch TV, you have to go to the second floor.

When he went upstairs, He Yuan pulled Tian Rui and whispered, "How can I go back in a while?"

He Yuan looked at it just now, and after this meal was finished, it was already past ten o'clock, and it was almost eleven o'clock.

He drank alcohol, not much, but still couldn't drive. In the past, when I was in Beijing, my colleague drank too much, so I placed an order directly on the APP and looked for a substitute driver. But He Yuan has never looked for a substitute driver, and he doesn't know where he can find a substitute driver.

If you can't find a substitute driver, then do you want to take a taxi back, leave the car here, and come back to pick it up when you are free?

"Why are you going back, just sleeping here. Tian Rui looked indifferent.

"Sleeping at your house?" He Yuan was stunned for a moment, he had never thought about it.

This is the first time I come here, and I have to sleep with other people's daughters...... A little bit unusual, right?

He Yuan wasn't shy or anything, but he just felt that if he was going to do this, would his uncle break his leg. Imagine if his daughter was given a cabbage by a wild boy who didn't know where he came from, he would probably do the same.

Thinking like this, He Yuan suddenly felt a chill in his neck.

"Why, no, it's not like there is no room at home, just find a guest room to clean up, and go to sleep." Otherwise, it's so late, and you're still drinking, do you want to take a taxi back?"

As soon as Tian Rui said this, He Yuan knew that he was wrong.

Also, this is not when you are working outside, there are only two or three rooms when you are full, if you drink too much, the same sex can still squeeze a bed, and the opposite sex can only make a bunk.

This kind of rural house, to say the least, has five or six rooms, two old people sleep in one, Tian Rui in one, and there are at least two or three rooms to sleep in. However, He Yuan still felt that it was strange that he had slept here on the first day.

Anyway, it's not far from home, so let's think about how to go back in a while.

He Yuan thought in his heart.

They went upstairs, and the aunt turned on the TV, and then found a TV station with a program to watch the New Year's Eve party together. At this point, she has a lot of common language with Tian Rui, often pointing to the stars above, and cherishing his (her) TV series, what kind of bad doctor this one plays, and what bad woman she plays, I can't see it, my aunt still likes to watch all kinds of court dramas, idol dramas and the like.

It's a pity that He Yuan hasn't watched a TV series for many years, He Yuan has only heard of the dramas they are talking about, but he hasn't seen them, the two of them chatter and discuss non-stop, He Yuan can only accompany him, maintaining a warm smile on his face, and he is about to stiffen with laughter.

Damn, it's so scary here, I want to go home.

After watching it for a while, there was a sudden commotion downstairs.

"Lao Tian, what are you doing, this is just finished eating?" a rough voice came from downstairs.

In the living room, a few people quieted down all of a sudden, and saw that the aunt moved her ears and said to Tian Rui: "It's your second uncle." ”

"Her second uncle, what's wrong, this big night, run out for a walk?"

Uncle's voice also came from downstairs, and then I saw my aunt get up from the sofa and say to Tian Rui: "I'll go down and greet your second uncle." ”

With that, she put on and took off her shoes, and went downstairs with a "bang".

"My second uncle is here, I'll go down and have a look. Tian Rui divided the peeled orange in his hand into two halves, stuffed half into He Yuan's mouth, and the other half bit himself, clapped his hands, and then got up and walked downstairs.

He Yuan looked at it, yes, there was only one person left in the living room, so why are you still sitting, let's go down together.

He Yuan tidied up his clothes a little and followed downstairs.

As soon as I walked down the stairs, I saw a man and a woman in the living room, a middle-aged couple.

My uncle had just been busy working in the kitchen, and now he was wearing an apron and rubbing his hands there. Auntie and Tian Rui went over and beckoned them to sit down, but Auntie didn't know where to bring out a plate of fruit, and stuffed it into their hands with the fruit.

"Let's eat something first, this big night, you are also idle, and you still run out at this point, won't you just come back from playing mahjong?"

"Hey, what kind of mahjong are you playing, where are you still in the mood to play mahjong this day. Yo, this is Xiaorui, are you back today?" The middle-aged man, who should be Tian Rui's second uncle, smiled at Tian Rui.

"Second uncle is good. Tian Rui called sweetly.

"Eh, it's really good, it's still good for you, this big holiday, the family can get together, not like my girl...... Ay. The middle-aged woman next to her sighed as she spoke.

"Okay, okay, this big holiday, what are you nagging. The second uncle took a sip of her, his eyes fell on He Yuan, who was going downstairs behind, and hesitated slightly, "This is ......"

"This is Xiaorui's friend, just call him Xiaoyuan. Auntie hurriedly said.

The second uncle showed a knowing expression, looked He Yuan up and down, and nodded again and again: "Not bad, not bad." ”

After finishing speaking, he turned to Tian Rui's father and said, "We, it's just a panic at night, come out for a walk." No, when I saw that the lights were still on in your house, I came in and sat down for a while, chattering, and didn't bother you, right?"

"No, by the way, it's New Year's Day, Xiaoyi hasn't come back?" After the uncle wiped his hands clean, he went to make a cup of tea for the two of them, and then sat down on the sofa next to him.

"No, she's still in Beijing. The second uncle blew away the tea leaves on the surface and took a sip.

"In Beijing, that's really troublesome. By the way, is Xiaoyi coming back for the New Year this year?" said the uncle again.

"I'm coming back, isn't this a ticket grabber now. If you want to say that this is grabbing tickets now, it's really troublesome, I see what acceleration package she forwards in the group every day, and when I ask her, she said that she bought what Ctrip, where did she go to VIP, it cost a hundred yuan, and I haven't grabbed a ticket yet. The second uncle said.

"Then what should I do, if I can't grab a ticket, it's not that I can't come back?"

"What can I do, grab it first. She grabbed the ticket there herself, and the two of us were also at home to keep an eye on her, no, didn't she just open the ticket to go back today, but as soon as it opened, it was gone immediately, and the three of us failed to grab a ticket, and I don't know what happened to it, the ticket is so difficult to grab. The second uncle sighed there.

"If you want me to say, I shouldn't have let her go to Beijing in the first place, how good it is to be in my hometown. You see Xiaorui, isn't it good for people to work in a hotel? they earn more than her, they eat better than her, and they don't know what she is tossing in Beijing, they know that they work overtime every day, and they don't see how much money she earns, how old they are, and they can't even find a boyfriend, so I'm afraid they won't become older leftover girls in the future. Tian Rui and her second aunt were also nagging there.

"You're really, let her go if she likes it, how old is it, don't take advantage of your youth to go outside, what can you do if you stay in this place. The second uncle couldn't stand being nagged anymore, so he went back directly.

"Ouch, it's not the meat that fell from your body, you don't feel distressed, do you? You don't feel sorry for me, you don't have the ability to go back to that house tonight!"

"You, I'm not just talking about things, why do you say such things. The second uncle had a headache.

Seeing that the two were about to stir up, the aunt hurriedly stepped forward to play a round.

"Eh, don't make any noise, if you really can't do it, then buy a ticket, you can always buy a ticket, right?"

was interrupted by this, the second aunt glared at the second uncle fiercely, and said in a muffled voice: "No, she has left her job anyway and is looking for a job." If it really doesn't work, I'll let her come back early and find a job here to settle down. I really don't know what's good there, I want to run over there. ”

"Xiaoyi resigned, I remember that she didn't do a good job before?" Tian Rui said in surprise.

"Hey, it is said that the market is not doing well this year, and many people have been laid off. Xiaoyi has just come out, and her experience and qualifications are not as good as others, so now she can only come out first to find a job. Speaking of this, the second uncle was a little dull, lit a cigarette, and smoked by himself.

"If I really can't do it, I can only let her come back. But that kid is quite stubborn, if you want her to come back, I'm afraid ......" The second uncle sighed and shook his head.

"What does she do?" He Yuan asked suddenly.

"I think it's like the Internet, right?" Tian Rui thought for a moment and replied.

"Well, it's that, it's that, it's the Internet. Before the second uncle could speak, the second aunt nodded first.

"The Internet. He Yuan touched his chin thoughtfully.

"What, what can you do?"

Seeing his expression, Tian Rui on the side leaned against him with his elbow and glanced at him.
