Qiao Xihe felt that the scene in front of him was a little weird, but this feeling was quickly dispelled by Grandma Yan's laughter.

"Oh, Eric, you're finally back!" Grandma Yan stretched out her arms and greeted her.

Eric said embarrassedly: "Things are a little difficult to do, so I didn't come back until now, I'm sorry, I made grandma worried." ”

"It's okay, it's okay, you're done, right?" asked Grandma Yan.

Eric nodded, "Thanks to Grandma, it's done, so now I can accompany Grandma Yan safely." ”

"That's good. Grandma Yan patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, let's go into the house and talk." ”

The village chief's wife was also beckoning everyone to come into the house and sit down, and soon a group of people took their seats in the hall.

The village chief's wife said deliberately, "Sakura, how did you come back with Eric......? I don't know each other, do you?"

Hong Ying glanced at Eric quickly, with a hint of shyness in her eyes, and said with a smile: "Coincidentally, as soon as we came back from looking for a car in the county town as soon as possible, we bumped into each other. ”

"That's right...... the village chief's wife thought for a moment, and then observed Eric's eyes for a few seconds, "It's good to live in the world, and have multiple friends." ”

With a fluttering sentence, he tried to "close the coffin" and conclude the relationship between the two people.

Eric didn't refute, Hong Ying couldn't help but look at it again, as if there was a deer jumping in her heart, and at the same time she felt that she had a chance with this young, handsome and gentlemanly man.

At this time, the village chief spoke: "Everyone is patronizing and talking, and they have come to eat and eat, and the food will not taste good when it is cold." Ai, Ai Erik, come, let's drink two glasses of rice wine first, isn't that your favorite drink, you've been out for a few days, you haven't had two sips, you're hungry, right?"

Eric hurriedly picked up the wine glass and touched two glasses with the village chief.

With rice wine in his stomach, he squinted his eyes comfortably and happily.

The village chief's wife hurriedly motioned for her daughter to pour him wine, so as to further the relationship.

Hong Ying obediently picked up the wine bottle, "Eric, another drink?"

Eric turned around slightly, blocked her movements with his arm, and said, "Although rice wine is beautiful, it's not good to be greedy for a cup." Just drink these two cups, and that's enough. ”

His tone was very easy-going, but his attitude was faintly resolute, which made Hong Ying very embarrassed.

"But you didn't even have a drink with my new friend. After all, she was in the personnel department, so she quickly found a way and smiled: "Eric, in China, you can only be considered a real good friend if you have drunk." ”

"Is there anything like that?" Eric blinked and looked at Qiao Xihe.

Qiao Xihe is immersed in eating vegetables, although the remote mountain village is not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and seas in the big city, but the vegetables grown by home, the chickens and ducks raised by feeding the grains, after superb cooking skills, the taste is not lost to those delicious delicacies. So, she ate with relish, but unexpectedly Eric asked this question, and almost choked.

"Ahem......" She swallowed the food in her mouth with great difficulty, then blinked a few times with a blank face, and asked, "What did you say, I didn't hear clearly?"

Eric smiled, "Nothing. Look at you always eating this vegetable, what is it? It's delicious......" he said, he took a chopstick dish and buried his head in eating.

So, only Hong Ying was left awkwardly holding the wine bottle.

The corners of her mouth twitched slightly, and she glared at her mother reproachfully, then with a twist of her wrist, she poured the wine into her father's cup.

Eric ate a few bites of vegetables, pestered Qiao Xihe and asked, "What the hell is this?"

Qiao Xihe said: "A kind of wild vegetable, pour a little liquor when you fry it, the taste will be more fragrant, with a hint of sweetness." ”

"Oh-" Eric nodded and took another big bite, "it's delicious, I've never eaten anything like this in more than twenty years of my life." ”

Qiao Xihe took another piece of pork belly and stuffed it into his mouth.

Eric took a piece of braised fish and naturally put it into her bowl, "I think this fish is also very delicious, there is no fishy smell at all, can you taste it? If you like it, I will make a plate of fish for you in the evening." ”

"Do you want to look up at the starry sky?" Qiao Xihe joked, but there was a little embarrassment in her eyes, she looked at the braised fish pieces in the bowl, she didn't eat it, she didn't eat it, she could even feel the suspicion and jealousy of the woman sitting on the other side of Eric.

"If you like to eat and look up at the stars, I'll make it for you. ”

"No, no, no. Qiao Xihe hurriedly shook his head, "...... That one...... I'm kidding, you can eat yourself, I'm not a kid anymore, you don't need to help me pick up the dishes. ”

"Good. Eric smiled and agreed, and continued eating.

Hong Ying is thinking about finding another opportunity to talk to Eric, who knows that there are relatives who don't have long eyes to talk, from the work situation, to where to live in the big city, how the living conditions are, to the matter of her boyfriend.

No matter how the village chief's wife looked, the relatives still kept asking.

Hong Ying coped helplessly, her eyes looking at Eric from time to time.

Although Qiao Xihe said so, Eric occasionally "cheapened" a few times, and had to give Qiao Xihe a chopstick dish.

And Qiao Xihe ate the dishes in the bowl.

In fact, Qiao Xihe didn't want everyone to be embarrassed, and it was not easy for the village chief's family to prepare this table of meals, if it was wasted, what a pity it would be for people, so he forcibly suppressed the discomfort in his heart, ate the food, and then lowered his voice, and said to Eric seriously: "Running all the way back, are you not tired or hungry?

Eric touched his chin and laughed, "Probably I'm used to taking care of people...... If it makes you feel uncomfortable......"

Qiao Xihe sighed: "I just want you to fill your stomach quickly." ”

"Rest assured. Eric patted his stomach, "I've taken care of it." ”

Qiao Xihe rolled his eyes, "I didn't see it." ”

"Where?!" Eric looked aggrieved as if he had been wronged.

Qiao Xihe was almost about to clip a big chopsticks for him, but fortunately, reason stopped her from doing this "ridiculous" behavior, you must know that Miss Hong, who secretly promised her, was watching from the side!

Speaking of this, she glanced cautiously at Hong Ying.

Sure enough, Hong Ying's face was not very good-looking.

Every word and deed of the two of them just now was seen by Hong Ying, which made her feel very uncomfortable, and she finally got a vacancy, she filled a bowl of pig's feet soup, handed it to Eric, and deliberately asked: "Eric, you and this young lady are actually a couple, right?"
