Chapter 20: Lunch Together
Hou Junyan walked around the community for a while with the "Snowball", and saw that the hair on the "Snowball" had been almost sunburned, so she squatted down and touched the "Snowball": "Snowball, go back with your mother, it's more comfortable for us to stay in the house and turn on the air conditioner on this hot day, right?"
Hou Junyan walked and saw a young woman in front of her coming out with a child in her arms, and kept crying, and then, a young man ran out and grabbed the young woman, "Can you not carry the child away, okay?
The young woman cried, "Doesn't your mother just hate Coco as a girl?
The man raised his voice: "My mother said a few words to you, you just shook your face and showed my mother, what do you mean? Do you have such a daughter-in-law? Besides, my mother is a countryman, and it is normal for her to have patriarchal thinking." Also, I don't have a patriarchal mentality, but in order to honor my parents, can't I have the idea of having a son?"
The young woman said excitedly, "I can't live this day. When the young woman finished speaking, she cried and walked away with the child in her arms.
And the man not only did not stop him, but also nagged: "Just go, self-righteous look." Then he went upstairs.
After Hou Junyan saw this scene, she said to herself: "It's really hateful, what age is it still patriarchal? Such a man also has a wife, this woman is simply blind." Then, looking at "Snowball", "Snowball, your mother would rather be single for the rest of her life than marry such a person, and be angry." ”
Flyer, the department manager, sat on the chair and crossed his legs, "Today's meeting is mainly to know how everyone's development progress is, this project is very important to the superiors, we must be online before the National Day holiday, we can't delay, this time will be hard for everyone." Xu Huimin: How's your chat function going?"
Xu Huimin cleared her throat, straightened her waist, and glanced at the leader, "Leader, the chat function on my side is almost done, and it should be possible to conduct a joint debugging test with the APP this week." ”
"Well, that's good. Flyer, the department manager, looked at android development engineer Wang Mingming and asked, "How is the development progress over there?" ”
In the evening, Xu Huimin's sister-in-law, brother-in-law, brother-in-law, and parents were having a meal, and when everyone was eating fragrantly, Xu Huimin's sister put down her chopsticks, looked at Xu's mother and said, "Mom, I want to take Lele and you to Shanghai to play this weekend, Lele is about to start school, and I also enrolled her in a few interest classes, and I have no time for her to play." ”
"If you want to go with Lele, I won't go. Xu's mother said.
"Mom, you see you've been busy for most of your life, and you always have to give yourself a chance to relax and go out to play. It happened that Huimin was in Shanghai, and we had a place to live, and it didn't cost much to eat and drink. Xu Huiling glanced at Xu's father, and said with a smile: "Mom, are you afraid that your father won't let you go out to play? ”
"Mom, when you go out to play, my dad definitely supports you, so you can rest assured. Xu Huimin's younger brother Xu Chengliang said.
Father Xu took a sip of soup and said, "Your mother wants to go out to play, why should I stop you." It's okay to go out for a walk, wife, you can go to Shanghai with your daughter to have fun. Huiling, you will finish your meal later, talk to your sister on video, and say hello in advance. ”
"Got it, Dad. Xu Huiling quickly finished eating the rice in the bowl after speaking, "I'm done eating, I'm going to talk to Huimin Video." ”
Xu Huimin, who was having dinner, received a video invitation from her sister and asked with a smile, "Beauty Xu, what are you looking for me?"
"Huimin, do you have any arrangements for this weekend?"
"No, why are you asking this?"
"I'm going to go to Shanghai with my mom and Lele for a few days this weekend. ”
Xu Huimin clapped her hands after hearing this and said, "Okay, I provide food, accommodation and play here, but I don't provide round-trip fares!"
"Okay, okay, I'm already very grateful to you for providing so much!" Xu Huiling said with a smile.
At this time, her daughter Lele got into Xu Huiling's arms, looked at Xu Huimin in the video, and said with a smile: "Auntie, when you come back for the New Year, you have to remember to buy delicious food for me, and a rag doll, okay?"
Xu Huimin put down the dishes and chopsticks, looked at Lele, and said with a smile: "Don't wait for the Chinese New Year, your mother will take you to Shanghai this weekend, and my aunt will buy you a lot of delicious food at that time, okay?"
Xu Huiling touched her daughter's head and said softly, "Lele, you hurry up and say thank you to your aunt." ”
Lele covered her face shyly, rubbed her hand for a while and said, "Thank you, auntie." ”
"Yo yo yo, Lele has also learned to be shy! It seems that our Lele has grown into a big girl. Xu Huimin said happily.
At this time, Xu Huimin's younger brother Xu Chengliang and sister-in-law Yang Yu also sat over, Xu Huiling tilted the phone in the direction of her younger brother, Xu Chengliang looked at Xu Huimin in the video, and said mischievously: "Yo, this second miss of the Xu family has become a lot more beautiful after not seeing her for many days!"
Xu Huimin held her chin with one hand and said with a smile: "you, it's sweet for you." ”
Xu Chengliang picked up the melon seeds and knocked them, looked at Xu Huimin in the video, and asked, "Second sister, what did you eat at night?"
"Guess?"
"Cut, guess you're big, you like to talk about it or not. After Xu Chengliang finished speaking, he continued to knock on the melon seeds.
Xu Huimin picked up the water cup and took a sip of water and said, "This girl burned a green pepper and fried a thousand potatoes at night." ”
"Yo, it's not bad, the only downside is that I didn't put some meat. Why don't you stir-fry some shredded pork?"
"I'm going to lose weight!"
Xu Huiling snatched the mobile phone from her brother's hand and shouted: "What do you do to lose weight, nutrition must keep up, and if you feel fat, you should exercise more, such as running, doing aerobics or something." ”
Xu's mother also sat on the sofa at this time, and Xu Huiling handed her mobile phone to her mother, "Mom, give it to you, if you have anything to say." ”
Xu's mother took the phone, looked at Xu Huimin in the video, and smiled, "Huimin, I'm going to go to Shanghai with your sister this weekend to have fun, and I'm going to trouble you for a few days." ”
"Mom, you say this as if I'm an outsider, and you're so polite to me. Come here, I'll eat and shelter. You will eat whatever I eat, I decided to buy more steamed buns, and when the time comes, you will follow me to eat steamed buns for three meals a day. Xu Huimin smiled after speaking.
Xu Chengliang approached his mother's side, "You white-eyed wolf, next time you come to my house, I will invite you to eat leftovers." ”
"I'm joking with my mother! Look at your seriousness, don't worry, I will definitely treat our mother and sister well. ”
Lele hugged Xu Huiling and said in a milky voice: "Mom, I want to sleep." ”
Xu Huiling stood up and hugged Lele, "Mom, Lele is going to sleep, we're going home." Then, the probe looked at Xu Huimin in the video, "I went home with your brother-in-law and Lele, Lele is going to sleep, don't sleep too late at night, take care of yourself outside alone." ”
"Got it. Xu Huimin made a goodbye gesture, "Lele, goodbye." We'll see you over the weekend. ”
Xu Huiling asked Lele to make a goodbye gesture to the video, and then hugged Lele and went home with her husband.
Xu Chengliang took his mobile phone and said to Xu Huimin: "Sister, let's talk next time, we have to go to work tomorrow, let's go to bed early at night." ”
"Okay, then I'll hang up. Xu Huimin put down her phone after hanging up the video, got up and walked towards the kitchen with a plate.
Ma Lixia took the electric kettle to the kitchen to prepare to fill the kettle to boil water, saw Xu Huimin washing dishes in the kitchen, and patted Xu Huimin on the shoulder, "Just finished eating?"
"Yes, what do you eat at night?" Xu Huimin moved her body, "You should water first." ”
"Thanks, I eat instant noodles. After pouring the water, Ma Lixia looked at Xu Huimin, "Huimin, I'm asking for leave tomorrow, a friend of mine is coming to Shanghai to play, and I need to accompany her." ”
Xu Huimin replied while washing the dishes: "Okay, got it, I wish you all a good time!"
Ma Lixia thanked her and took the electric kettle back to her room.
The next day, because Sister An had something at home, she also asked for leave, and Xu Huimin was alone at noon, and Xu Huimin found a place to sit down after dinner. Ni Jiacheng, who was sitting down to eat with his colleagues, saw Xu Huimin eating alone, so he said hello to his colleagues, and then walked over to Xu Huimin. Ni Jiacheng walked to Xu Huimin's dining table and sat down, looked at Xu Huimin for a while, and saw that she didn't react, so he cleared his throat.
Xu Huimin looked up and said in surprise: "Ni Jiacheng?"
Ni Jiacheng smiled modestly, then took a bite of food and asked, "Why are you alone?"
"They're all on leave today, what about you?
"I, I saw someone eating alone, so I came over to eat with her!" Ni Jiacheng looked at Xu Huimin intently after speaking.
Xu Huimin immediately lowered his head, his face instantly turned red, and he thought: This doesn't mean that he is interested in me, right? Could it be that Ni Jiacheng likes me? Xu Huimin glanced at Ni Jiacheng with his spare eyes, and after Ni Jiacheng saw it, he smiled, "If you want to see it, just raise your head and look at it, why peek, I won't charge you money." ”
Xu Huimin felt that the temperature of her face had risen a few degrees again, so she lowered her head and continued to eat, trying to calm her emotions, and said to herself silently: "Don't think about it, how can it be? You nymphomaniac, what are you nervous about? Don't let him find out that I like him, it will be miserable." ”
Xu Huimin looked up at Ni Jiacheng, and then at his meal, "Why do you keep looking at me? Don't you eat? Am I so good-looking? Or do I have flowers on my face?"
Ni Jiacheng covered his chest and smiled, "You are really cute." ”
Xu Huimin looked confused, "Why am I cute? Are you praising me? Or am I stupid? Let me tell you, I hate people saying I'm cute." Then, as if he was angry, "Remember, don't use that word to describe me in the future." ”
"I didn't expect you to be quite fierce. Ni Jiacheng took a bite to eat, looked at Xu Huimin, and was silent for a while, "However, you look pretty good." ”
Xu Huimin glanced at Ni Jiacheng, smiled, and then continued to bury her head in eating.
"Did you have dinner with friends last weekend? Did you have another guy named Cao Yixian who mixed into your sisterhood?" Ni Jiacheng asked suddenly.
"Yes, what your friend told you?"
"Yes, I heard him say that you and a friend of yours are very concerned about my personal problems?" Ni Jiacheng kept his eyes on Xu Huimin when he said this.
Xu Huimin directly ignored what Ni Jiacheng said, put down her chopsticks, and wiped her mouth, "I'm done eating, you can eat slowly." After speaking, Xu Huimin turned around and left.
Seeing this, Ni Jiacheng immediately put down his chopsticks, got up and wiped his mouth with his hand, and then quickly followed Xu Huimin. After catching up with Xu Huimin, he said mischievously: "You won't like me, right? I'm a single person now, if you like me, just say it, maybe I'll take you in." ”
Xu Huimin slowed down, looked at Ni Jiacheng, and then said arrogantly: "Tell you, since I was a child, others have liked me, and to tell you the truth, I haven't met the boy I like so far." So, please don't be sentimental. ”
Ni Jiacheng laughed, "Yo, then may I ask this young lady, what type of boy do you like?"
Xu Huimin thought for a while and said with a smile: "Secret, I won't tell you." Then, he picked up his pace and walked towards the office building.
Ni Jiacheng also quickened his pace, "Why are you walking so fast? Let's talk for a while." ”
"I still have a lot of things to do, and I don't have time to accompany this uncle. ”
Ni Jiacheng looked at Xu Huimin's back, shook his head, and smiled, "Silly girl, maybe one day you will like me?"
