Zhang's mother came to me today, it seems that she has something else to say, and after looking at the photos, she suddenly looked solemn.

Suddenly, the tension I had just relieved swept over again, and after swallowing unconsciously, I sat upright.

"Siyu, Auntie called you to come to the house for dinner today because she had something she wanted to ask you. ”

Ask me?

Although I was sitting on the sofa in a panic, I was not so confused, and I hooked a stiff smile on the corner of my mouth and said, "Auntie, you ask." ”

"Actually, it's not a big deal. "Mother Zhang saw that I was refreshed, so I simply didn't detour much.

"Uncle and aunt are about to retire, so they are going to move back to Ning'an in the next few years, I have calculated with your uncle, and I am going to buy a new house for you to use as a new house, and then the house where Zhang Xiao lives now will be kept for me to live with your uncle, do you think it's okay?"

After Zhang's mother finished speaking, she looked at me with a smile.

Actually, I understand the meaning of her words too well, a new house? In short, isn't it just urging marriage!

In recent years, Ning'an has done a very good job of greening, and the infrastructure is relatively perfect. ”

I nodded understandingly, agreeing with their idea of moving back to Ning'an, while others deliberately ignored the past.

Zhang's mother has a very high emotional intelligence, although she knows that I am deliberately avoiding, but the smile on her face has not diminished in the slightest.

"Then the new house that my aunt and uncle are going to buy will write your name and count it as a gift. ”

After hearing this, I almost didn't hesitate, and I got up from the sofa.

"Auntie, this can't be done, the gift is too expensive. ”

I waved my hand, and my face was full of rejection, you know, although Ning'an is not a super first-tier city, but the housing price should not be underestimated, even if the geographical location of the purchase is remote, a flat will start at 10,000 yuan.

"There's nothing that can't be done, the family doesn't speak two words. I'm still looking forward to you giving me a grandson after you marry Xiaoxiao. ”

Getting married, having children, everything can overwhelm me. You must know that I am only twenty-four, and Zhang Xiao is only twenty-five, two young people, to go through the rest of their lives hand in hand, this takes too much time to consider.

I didn't know how to answer Zhang's mother, so I could only barely cope with it with a smile, and when I came out of Zhang Xiao's house, my whole face was almost stiff.

Rubbing my sore cheeks, I got into the car with a blank face, let out a long sigh at the steering wheel, and set out on the way home.

……

Ms. Fang Yu's temper comes and goes quickly, I still had a gloomy face when I sent her to the hospital in the morning, and when I got home, she was already giggling at the variety show.

"Mom, what are you looking at?"

I changed my shoes at the hallway, and collapsed on the soft couch with my bag.

"It's just this variety show that your third uncle participated in, it's too funny. ”

Ms. Fang Yu took a small snack and stuffed it into her mouth, and then started to play on the TV.

Just when I thought that the family conflict had been resolved, Comrade Lao Qin came over and poured a glass of water for Ms. Fang Yu, but Ms. Fang Yu didn't even look at it, and turned her head and ordered me.

"Siyu, I don't want to drink water, you go and make me a pot of rose tea!"

"Wait, I'll come. ”

In the face of Ms. Fang Yu's order, before I could react, Comrade Lao Qin took the lead in taking the conversation.

"Siyu, you go. ”

Ms. Fang Yu pointed to the kitchen, as if she was completely ignoring Comrade Qin.

Yes, the revolution has not yet succeeded, and comrades still need to work hard!

I patted Comrade Lao Qin on the shoulder as if comforting, got up and went to the kitchen.

When I was called by Zhang's mother to go to the house for dinner, I sent a WeChat message to Ms. Fang Yu, and she didn't say much at the time, but just instructed some necessary etiquette.

But not asking much at that time did not mean that she was not curious, no, I just got home, she sat in the living room and poked her head while inquiring about the situation.

"Siyu, you went today, what did Zhang Xiao's mother tell you?"

"I didn't say anything, I just had a meal. ”

Naturally, I can't tell Ms. Fang Yu the truth, after all, her old man's ideological height is at the same level as Zhang's mother, and she can't wait for me to marry out soon.

"Nonsense, how can it be just a meal, did I discuss the matter of marriage with you?"

Sometimes, Ms. Fang Yu is really suitable to be a fortune teller, this kind of thing is a guess.

So, I didn't hide it, and told Ms. Fang Yu all what happened tonight.

I thought that her old man would pat her thigh excitedly when she heard that Mother Zhang was going to write the house in my name, but who knows, she actually touched her chin and pondered, and it took a long time before she reacted.

"So their family is going to give a dowry?"

Huh?

I almost knocked over the brewed rose tea.

"Since their family is ready to buy a house, then our family will send a car. It's not rude......"

I grabbed a few tissues and wiped down the table, bringing the brewed rose tea back to the living room.

"Mom, you're thinking too much. ”

"What you think too much about is that you think too little, and people can't hear what they mean. ”

Ms. Fang Yu threw away the pillow in her hand, held her stomach and sat up solemnly, with the momentum of nagging me all night.

I didn't dare to go into the topic, so I had to pretend to be stupid on the side, nodding my head a few times from time to time, which was a response from Ms. Fang Yu.

finally waited for her old man to be sleepy, and then there was a slight breathing room.

Comrade Lao Qin saw my intentions and diligently helped Ms. Fang Yu back to the bedroom.

What happened today is indeed a bit messy, and I feel that I need to discuss it with Zhang Xiao, especially the matter of Zhang's mother buying a house to write my name.

When the call came, I didn't know what time it was, until Zhang Xiao's heavy yawning sound came from the receiver, and I realized that the clock on the wall had passed twelve.

"Siyu, what's wrong?"

I struggled for a moment, but decided to be more direct.

"Hmm...... Didn't I go to your house today, and then something happened and I felt the need to let you know. ”

"Yes, I'm too busy to forget, what's wrong? My mother embarrassed you?" Listening to the sound, Zhang Xiao seemed to stand up from the chair excitedly, and at the same time, his tone was an octave higher.

"No, no, no. I waved my hands and hurriedly denied it.

"That's?"

"It's your mom going to buy a new house for the two of us, and then write my name. ”

When I said that, I breathed a long sigh of relief.

On the other hand, Zhang Xiao seemed to be very calm, not only did he not make any waves about this matter, but even comforted me with a smile.

"So you're scared?"

"But it's not, it's not something else, it's a house, isn't she afraid that I will take the real estate certificate and run away?"

I deliberately exaggerated, in order to make Zhang Xiao pay attention to this matter, after all, the practice of directly sending the house is indeed a bit exaggerated, if it is for the reason of the dowry, then it must be made clear.

"You're not that kind of person. ”

Zhang Xiao still looked so relaxed, and there was always a smile in his tone.

"Be serious. ”

A nameless anger came out of my heart because of the uneasiness, so the tone of my speech to Zhang Xiao became serious.

"Okay, I'm serious. ”

Zhang Xiao coughed twice, restraining the smile in his tone.

"Siyu, in fact, my mother mentioned this matter to me a long time ago, when they decided to write the name of my future wife on the newly bought house. I know you don't have the idea of getting married yet, and I respect your thoughts, but this is just an expectation of the elderly, my parents will not retire in a few years, and she may be telling you now for peace of mind. Promise me not to stress too much, okay?"

I have to say that Zhang Xiao's words really went to my heart, and when I heard that there was still time, the big stone in my heart fell instantly.

"Okay, I'm just a little worried, nothing stressed. ”

Typical duplicity, but I spoke it very smoothly, and Zhang Xiao laughed again.

"Looks like I've really found a good girlfriend who treats money like dung. ”

"Don't don't, I'm not that great, I just don't love this more, my flesh hurt when I paid you back last time. ”

I hurriedly denied Zhang Xiao's compliment.

"Then I'm going to stop sneaking you around. ”

"Don't, don't. ”

In the end, at Zhang Xiao's insistence, I ended with a red envelope of 200 yuan from him.

……

I probably let go of the knot, so I slept very sweetly at night, but because I slept too late, my eyes were swollen when I woke up in the morning, and if I hadn't been strong, I would have been late for work.

When I arrived at the office, Dr. Zhou smiled at my swollen eye bubbles for a long time, insisting that I looked like a goldfish, until I was beaten by my own hands, and then stopped my noisy mouth.

Tomorrow is the engagement banquet for the professor's son, so her old man's mood today is extremely high, and everyone in the hospital is smiling and saying congratulations when they see her.

Senior Sister Liang and I were brought out by the professor himself, and the number of gifts is naturally indispensable, and the gift money is the amount that everyone has discussed, and it is not easy to increase it at will, so after thinking about it for a long time, it was unanimously decided that it would be more appropriate to give another gift.

But what to send has become a new problem, and when I go back to the mall, my attention is all on the beautiful dress, and I don't think about it at all, but now it has become a big problem.

"Si Yu, what do you think we should send? Flowers, the crystal ball doesn't have any intentions. ”

Senior Sister Liang propped her head and fell into deep thought.

"Shall we send a portrait of the bride and groom?"

I somehow came up with the idea.

"You know how to draw?"

Who knows, Senior Sister Liang poured my enthusiasm clean with just one sentence.

The atmosphere was at an impasse, and Senior Sister Liang and I were a little speechless.

"By the way, isn't your boyfriend Zhang Xiao making games, can he help us draw a portrait of an anime?"
