Chapter 22: Chinese New Year's Eve Dinner

Chinese New Year's Eve, family reunion.

Han Xiao was in deep trouble.

"Xiaoxiao, how many times have I told you, seeing that the elders should dress more generously and decently, you see what you are wearing, hurry up and change. ”

Han Xiao glanced at what he was wearing from top to bottom, thick down jacket, thick warm pants, thick warm boots, isn't this quite normal, how to listen to his mother's tone, I feel like I am wearing a tattered body. However, compared to her mother's cheongsam at the bottom of the box, Han Xiao was indeed wearing some... Naive.

"Forget it, I'll help you get a new outfit, this in-laws are almost here, you have to leave a good impression on your parents-in-law." Saying that, Han's mother dragged Han Xiao upstairs, and when she heard the words of her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Han Xiao felt that her head was four big.

After changing into the clothes and shoes that her mother had matched herself, Han Xiao looked at herself in the mirror, the corners of her mouth twitched stiffly, and asked weakly, "Mom, is this too grand?" The exaggeration on the side of her mouth turned into grandeur, she didn't want to be educated by her mother for the New Year.

"The first time I saw my parents-in-law, can you not dress ceremoniously, okay, hurry down. ”

When Han's mother walked into the living room downstairs with Han Xiao, Han's father's hand holding the teacup trembled, Han's mother swept over with a glance, and Han's father immediately put down the teacup and gave Han's mother a thumbs up.

The doorbell outside the courtyard rang, and Han's mother quickly checked the clothes of Han Xiao and Han's father, and then took the two of them to greet the distant guests.

"Dad, just in case, I'm talking about just in case, if I mess up when I see my parents this time, will my mother kick me out of the house. Han Xiao asked quietly, and Han's father raised his hand and patted her on the shoulder, giving her a kind look that seemed to encourage and comfort.

After opening the door, Han's mother warmly welcomed her in-laws and prospective son-in-law into the house, and when Chu Ge saw Han Xiao's grand dress, the corners of his mouth unconsciously hooked.

The white plush coat Han Xiao was wearing looked like it weighed at least three catties, and the high heels on his feet were at least five centimeters high.

Chu Ge's father is a university professor and is very knowledgeable, and his mother is also a beautiful lady from a scholarly family, with a beautiful intellect, and both of them are very open-minded. After several phone calls, Chu's mother and Han's mother established a deep revolutionary friendship, the two have followed each other's social networks, and also shared photos of their children when they were young, Chu's father and Han's father, Chu Ge and Han Xiao, the four of them didn't know anything about it.

After walking into the living room, Han's mother reached out and pulled Han Xiao over, and hinted at her with her eyes, and Han Xiao immediately said hello to Chu's father and Chu's mother. After sitting down, Han's mother hinted at the past with another look, and Han Xiao immediately poured a cup of tea for Chu's mother and Chu's father, and gave a box of Suzhou-style snacks to Chu's mother.

These are all rehearsed in advance.

"This is Xiaoxiao, she looks so beautiful," Mother Chu said as she took Han Xiao's hand closely, "It's as beautiful as her mother." ”

"Ahem..."

Dad Chu choked on a sip of tea coldly, and Dad Han was already immune to the word in-laws.

When going out for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, Han Xiao accidentally broke her foot, although she had previously driven a high heel that was one or two centimeters taller than this, but after three years, her skills were inevitably a little rusty. Chu Ge supported her from behind in time and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" Han Xiao shook her head, her eyes swept to the hand that was on her waist, her face turned red, and she hurriedly walked away a few steps.

"Xiaoxiao, you just take Xiao Chu's car, Xiao Chu, your parents will take our car. Han's mother came over and said.

As soon as Han Xiao opened his mouth, he heard the boss say, "Auntie, don't worry, I won't lose Xiaoxiao."

At the dinner table, Chu Ge thoughtfully sandwiched a crab for the little assistant beside him, and asked in a gentle voice, "Xiaoxiao, why don't you wear the engagement ring I bought for you?"

Brushing and brushing, the eyes of the four parents were focused on Han Xiao.

Han Xiao's eyes widened in shock, his brain went blank with a buzz, and his face was redder than the steamed crab on the plate in front of him.

Oh my God! I just fainted.

"Xiaoxiao, why are you so careless that you forgot to wear your engagement ring. Han Ma said angrily, but the corners of her mouth couldn't hide a smile.

Han Xiao lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid I'll lose it." ”

"Xiaoxiao, if you lose it, let our family Chu Ling buy you another one. Chu Ma said understandingly.

Han Xiao: "......" is worthy of being a mother and son, and they are not bad rings.

Next, Han Xiao ate the delicious food that the boss gave her in fear, for fear that the boss would pop up some amazing words, but she forgot that there is an old saying, "If you have a mother, you must have a son".

"Mother-in-law, when do you think it's better to choose this engagement date?"

"I have calculated with Lao Han that the tenth day of the first month is a good day. ”

"Ahem...", Han Xiao choked on a mouthful of food.

"Ahem...", Dad Chu choked on a sip of his drink.

Dad Han was also immune to the word engagement, and Chu Ge calmed down his ups and downs, and his face was very calm.

After eating a meal, Han Xiao felt like a big battle, and from time to time, someone would drop a bombshell, which made her scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, flustered and short of breath, her scalp was numb, and her soul was out of her body.

After eating, Chu Ge drove Han Xiao home, and Chu's father and Chu's mother went back to the hotel first.

After the car stopped outside the gate of the community, Han Xiao sat without getting out of the car, and after a few seconds of secret prodding, she opened her mouth and asked, "Mr. Chu, why did you suddenly mention the ring during the meal just now, and said that it was an engagement ring." ”

Chu Ge heard the little assistant's tone with some indignation, so he reached out and touched her head. A few traces of fire in Han Xiao's heart were inexplicably extinguished, and seeing that the boss slowly turned her face over, she reflexively covered her mouth, immediately opened the car door and got out of the car, and ran into the community as if she were fleeing.

As soon as she returned to her room, Han Xiao was caught by her mother and interrogated.

"Xiaoxiao, you tell your mother honestly," Speaking of this, Han's mother deliberately glanced around and asked in a low voice, "Do you have it, that's why you bought all the rings in a hurry." ”

Han Xiao's whole person was square, what did her heart say, her mother shouldn't think she was pregnant, thinking of this, she felt that the whole person was crazy.

"Mom, I beg you not to guess, what's there, you go and rest. ”

After closing the door, Han Xiao lay on the bed exhausted, and after a while, she got up and knelt down, bowed three times reverently to the vast sky outside the window, and sincerely made a wish: Please bless the Bodhisattva, don't let my mother force me into a sedan chair.
