Chapter 59: An Awkward Meeting with Parents
After finally escorting Zhang Xiao to the door of the house, I stood there and took a big breath, then turned my head and asked, "Did you bring the door key?"
"I didn't bring it!"
I don't know where Zhang Xiao got the confidence from, and in the face of his mistakes, he answered so confidently.
Taking a deep breath, I finally suppressed the urge to slap Zhang Xiao.
"So what do you say now?"
"Just press the doorbell!"
Zhang Xiao shrugged his shoulders calmly, and then pressed the doorbell without hesitation.
"What?"
Before I could react, the door opened from the inside out, and just like that, I met Zhang Xiao's own mother with my mouth open in surprise.
I must have panicked, but fortunately, I didn't show it with my movements, and I raised my head slightly, and I barely put a smile on the corner of my mouth.
"Hello Auntie, I'm Qin Siyu. ”
"Oh, it turns out that you are Si Yu, child, come in and sit, don't be stunned. ”
Zhang Xiao's mother seemed surprised to see me, but her old man reacted much faster than me, and almost the moment she turned her head, her face was covered with a kind smile.
For Zhang Xiao's mother's invitation, the first reaction in my mind was to refuse. But the person had already walked to the door, and now it was too unpleasant to say goodbye, so he could only laugh awkwardly twice.
"Auntie, Zhang Xiao is drunk, why don't we help him in first!"
"Drunk?"
At this time, Zhang's mother finally noticed the crooked son standing next to me, and after frowning dissatisfiedly, she immediately stepped forward to help me Zhang Xiao.
"Why did he drink like this, and he actually bothered his girlfriend to send him home, and he really didn't clean up recently. ”
It seems that mothers have a determination to hate iron and steel for their children, no, in the process of helping Zhang Xiao back to the room to rest, Zhang's mother couldn't help but pat Zhang Xiao's back several times.
Although I didn't speak, for the sake of my boyfriend and girlfriend's face, I still reached out to help him block it.
"Siyu, don't feel sorry for him, you can remember it for a long time after a few more hits. But Xiaoxiao doesn't usually drink so much, is there something wrong today!"
Now, I can see Zhang's mother's intentions, her old man is not blaming at all, but finding a reason to excuse her son.
Pity the hearts of parents all over the world.
"Maybe it's because of work. ”
Seeing through it and not saying it, this is a great virtue of people, in order to leave a good impression on Zhang's mother, I had to cooperate with the side drum.
As for whether it is really because of work, it may only be known to the drunk Zhang Xiao.
Actually, Zhang Xiao's wine is okay, except for a little messing with me before, the rest of the time, he basically sleeps.
After I put Zhang Xiao on the bed with Zhang's mother, he turned over, turned his head and fell asleep. Zhang's mother stepped forward to cover him with a quilt, and then followed me gently to the living room.
In the past, when I watched a video of someone meeting their parents for the first time on the Internet, I would always laugh back and forth, but now when I put it on myself, I can't laugh at all.
"Siyu, your uncle went to the supermarket to buy groceries, let's leave a piece for dinner later." ”
"Good ......"
I let out a sigh of relief, then nodded awkwardly. Don't look at me as calm on the surface, in fact, my heart has already set off a lot of turmoil.
I still have to eat, is it really not indigestion?
"Siyu, I heard that you are a doctor in obstetrics and gynecology?"
"Yes. ”
I didn't know how to answer, so I could only nod my head awkwardly again, to be honest, I'm really not suitable for chatting with the elders, basically what they ask, I just answer mechanically on the side.
If it were my family's usual relatives, it would be okay, after all, I wouldn't care about anything, but now I'm facing Zhang Xiao's mother, and I nodded and replied yes, will it seem that I am too much. When the time comes......
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but shake my little brain, trying to shake those dangerous thoughts out.
Maybe Zhang's mother saw my nervousness and kept trying to find a topic with me, although I really acted like a topic terminator, but judging from the results, it could be regarded as a pleasant exchange. After all, their focus is only on health care back and forth, and I am a doctor, so it is still useful to pull out professional knowledge.
Just as I was talking to Zhang's mother about beauty, the door was opened from the outside, and then I was honored to meet Zhang's father again.
I have to say that this kind of thing is really magical, because Zhang Xiaochang is carved out of a mold with his father. The same dark skin, the same clear eyes, and the trademark smirk directly made me foresee Zhang Xiao's middle age.
"Hello uncle, I'm Qin Siyu. ”
I stood there and bowed down respectfully at Dad Zhang.
"Siyu? Oh, Xiaoxiao's girlfriend. You kid, why are you so polite, sit down. Uncle bought vegetables today, let's eat here tonight. By the way, what about Xiaoxiaoren?"
"Drink and sleep upstairs. ”
Zhang's mother said in front of me.
"It's not dinner yet, and you're drunk?"
"Maybe it's noon. He was still sent back by Siyu. Zhang's mother stretched out her head and added to the side. Then he beckoned me to sit down. I have to say that Mama Zhang's fire is really in place.
As soon as the words landed, Dad Zhang frowned and counted.
"I think he's been getting more and more excessive. I don't usually go back home, but today I'm still drunk and let my girlfriend send it home. No, I'll have to talk to him when he's awake. ”
Usually Comrade Lao Qin often talks to me about it, and I understand the meaning, in order to prevent Zhang Xiao from being harsh from his father as soon as he wakes up.
In the end, I had no choice but to help him hide it with my conscience: "Uncle, Zhang Xiao drank wine because of work, and it was very hard, we should actually be considerate." ”
Maybe my persuasion worked, or maybe Dad Zhang didn't have the idea of talking to Zhang Xiao at all, anyway, after I finished speaking, Dad Zhang immediately put out the fire and happily took the dishes to the kitchen.
The health issue was almost discussed, and then Zhang's mother chatted with me about life events without surprise.
"Siyu, when are you going to get married? Zhang Xiao is not young, we don't watch him get married, this heart is always empty? You said that we are not usually by his side, just come back for a few reunions during the Chinese New Year, this child, he is actually quite lonely. ”
“……”
Zhang's mother said this sentence poignantly, but I really couldn't give her an exact answer, and when I was nervously rubbing my legs on the sofa, Zhang Xiao stood behind me at some point.
"Mom, I don't have the idea of getting married for the time being, so don't rush. Isn't it good to go with the flow?"
Maybe it's because I woke up from the wine, Zhang Xiao's words simply spoke to my heart. But for the sake of face, I couldn't nod in agreement, so I could only secretly hook his little thumb with my hand.
Parents always expect their children to get married as soon as possible, and Zhang Xiao's parents are naturally not that exception, no, as soon as Zhang Xiao finished expressing his opinion, Zhang's mother stood up angrily.
"What's the matter? You still want to hang Siyu for the rest of your life and not get married?"
“……”
Uh, Auntie, it could actually be that I was hanging your son.
Of course, I couldn't say this, but I felt sorry for Zhang Xiao in my heart, so I had to bow my head silently on the side.
I don't know how Zhang's mother understands it, but in the end, she took my bow as a divine injury, pointed to her son's nose and continued to teach.
"Do you know that this is an irresponsible idea, have you ever considered Siyu's feelings, other girls use their youth to accompany you to fall in love, but you can't even get the qualification to get married?"
Although Zhang's mother said Zhang Xiao, I always felt that it was a slap in my face. Not responsible, not considering Zhang Xiao's feelings, it's all me, Auntie.
Guilt instantly welled up in my heart, and I didn't know how to defend Zhang Xiao, so I stared at him pitifully.
Zhang Xiao glanced down at me, then gave me an encouraging look, and then resolutely expressed his opinion, not actually my opinion.
To tell the truth, this feeling of being caught in the middle is really uncomfortable, and when I was about to reach the critical point of collapse, my phone suddenly rang, and when I opened it, I saw that it was Comrade Lao Qin.
If it weren't for the large number of people, I might have really hugged my phone and kissed it, which simply pointed me out a bright path in a desperate situation!
"Hello?"
I picked up the phone and quietly walked away.
"Siyu, bring me a copy of the rice noodles sold near your hospital when you get off work. Your mom doesn't want to eat anything now, she just wants to eat that. ”
"What, that's too serious, I'll go now. ”
In order to ensure the authenticity of the performance, I had to shout at the top of my voice, and the startled Comrade Qin hurriedly explained.
"No, no, no, it's not that serious, don't be so alarmed......"
Of course, I didn't give the old man a chance to continue, and after hanging up the phone in a hurry, I said goodbye to Zhang's father and Zhang's mother.
"I'm sorry, uncle and aunt, something serious happened in my family, I have to go back now, I regret I can't have dinner with you. ”
Xu was the shouting I just made to achieve the booking effect, and Zhang Ma looked at the anxiety on my face and immediately nodded with concern.
"Okay, then you go back quickly, by the way, you must say where you need help from your uncle and aunt! ”
"Okay, thank you, uncle and aunt. ”
After pretending to be heavy and nodding his head, Zhang Xiao followed me into the elevator in a hurry, and waited until the moment the elevator door was completely closed, he covered his mouth and laughed.
"The acting is a little exaggerated. ”
"Cut, I really have something to do, Ms. Fang Yu wants to eat rice noodles at the gate of the second courtyard, I'm going to buy them now." ”
I gave him a blank look and said angrily.
And his attitude was also very good, and he hurriedly nodded in response.
"Good, good. Thank you, though, for sending me home today. ”
"It's okay, I'm not your girlfriend!"
