Meng Lianghua whispered to Zhao Qingfang from afar: "The one at the front is my mother." ”

"Mom, aunt, aunt... Meng Lianghua quickly walked to the greeting team and shouted.

"It's coming. Mother Meng replied with a smile.

"This is my girlfriend, Zhao Qingfang. After Meng Lianghua finished speaking, he hurriedly gave all the things in his hand to Meng's mother, and took the things in Zhao Qingfang's hand together, and explained: "These are all gifts that Xiaofang bought for you and your father, as well as grandma, grandmother and Qingqing." ”

"Hello Auntie. Zhao Qingfang shouted with a low smile.

"You seem to have come here, and you have something to bring. Mother Meng said in non-standard Mandarin, "Come, come in and sit." ”

"yes! Hua Hua called your girlfriend in. The most fashionably dressed middle-aged woman in the crowd said.

"Auntie, when did you come?" Meng Lianghua asked with a smile.

"Yes, your mother said that there was a guest at home today, so she asked me to have a meal with your aunts, and also join in the fun, hehe... Aunt Meng replied.

After speaking, Aunt Meng took the initiative to make her debut and led Zhao Qingfang in.

Meng Lianghua's home is a 2-story small building, the exterior wall is not overly whitewashed, but the cement exterior wall has fallen off a little, it should be at least 20 years old, the general layout of the house is two rooms upstairs and downstairs, and there is another small house next to it, guessing that it is a kitchen.

The room that everyone walked into was very large, it should be in the hall of the room, about 40 square meters, and there was a huge *** portrait in the middle of the wall facing the door, and there was a portrait of an old man hanging on the right, Zhao Qingfang guessed that this should be Meng Lianghua's grandfather, *** There is a groove below the portrait of the Buddha statue about 20 centimeters high, there is a little incense in front, the whole room has a strong period atmosphere, the whole room is relatively empty, there is not much furniture, there is a table of eight immortals in front of the Buddha statue, 4 benches are placed around, there is a long bench sporadically next to it, an old couch is placed on the right side of the door, this should be the most foreign furniture in this room, and next to the sofa is another man who looks like he will be in his 60s in a wheelchair, Zhao Qingfang has heard Meng Lianghua talk about things at home, and can guess eight or nine。

"Dad. Meng Lianghua whispered.

"It's back. ”

"Hmm. Meng Lianghua nodded.

Zhao Qingfang looked at the situation and exclaimed very familiarly: "Hello uncle." ”

"Come, sit down. Father Meng replied lightly.

Father Meng is a person who doesn't like to talk, so he simply said two words and didn't say anything more. Meng Lianghua looks like his father at first glance.

Aunt Meng next to her was very enthusiastic, and hurriedly beckoned Meng Lianghua and Zhao Qingfang to come to the Eight Immortals Table and take a seat, and pulled Zhao Qingfang to sit on one side of the Eight Immortals Table, and said with a smile: "Come... Come, you're welcome, sit down quickly, I don't know you're here so late, the dishes are getting cold, hurry up and eat while it's hot. ”

At this time, Zhao Qingfang found that the table was already full of format dishes, but everyone was not seated, and Zhao Qingfang did not dare to sit down easily, but he did not forget to reply: "Well, okay." Thank you, Auntie. ”

"Well, I didn't get a train ticket for the 6:30 bus, I took the 8 o'clock bus, so it was a little late. Meng Lianghua explained.

"Oh. Aunt Meng saw that Zhao Qingfang was still very unfamiliar and stunned, and did not sit down, and said with a smile, "Come, hurry up and sit, you're welcome, it's all your own family, Huahua, hurry up and take your girlfriend to sit down." ”

"Sit down, it's fine. Meng Lianghua pulled Zhao Qingfang and sat down.

Everyone saw that Zhao Qingfang and Meng Lianghua were seated, and several aunts and Meng's mother carried Meng's father to the seat facing the gate and sat down, and then they also sat up together.

When I first arrived at Meng Lianghua's house, I didn't know the customs and habits of his family, especially before going out, my mother told me not to be too rude when I got home, and to respect my elders, so Zhao Qingfang didn't dare to move chopsticks easily.

Mother Meng finally had the appearance of a hostess this time, and when she saw Zhao Qingfang being reserved and not moving her chopsticks, she took the initiative to pick up vegetables and give them to the bowl in front of Zhao Qingfang, "Come, this is the local chicken we raise at home, you eat more, it is difficult to buy such in the city." ”

"Oh, thank you, Auntie. Zhao Qingfang replied with a smile, but did not move the chopsticks.

"These ribs are also quite delicious, you eat more. Aunt Meng also said enthusiastically, she didn't pick up the dishes, and then I saw her say something to Meng's mother in her hometown, but Zhao Qingfang didn't understand, and then saw Meng Lianghua talking something in her hometown, looking like she was talking about the same thing, and the aunts next to her just looked at it and didn't speak, and saw that Mother Meng should be in charge of the family at home.

The atmosphere was more embarrassing, and I saw that Meng's mother was a little embarrassed to smile, and Aunt Meng explained to Zhao Qingfang, "I'm sorry! My sister is a countryman, and I don't know that you young people pay more attention to hygiene, and don't like to eat other people's dishes, but the chopsticks she used just now haven't moved, they are clean, so eat with confidence." ”

Zhao Qingfang knew that everyone was talking about this matter just now, so he hurriedly said: "Oh, it's okay, I don't pay attention to this." ”

After speaking, he quickly picked up the chopsticks and ate the big chicken leg that Meng's mother had just clipped, and did his best to show that he didn't mind.

Everyone smiled when they saw Zhao Qingfang move the chopsticks, and began to pick up the chopsticks and eat.

It's just that from the beginning of the seat, everyone spoke to Zhao Qingfang in Mandarin very politely, and then they started their own homely chat, but all in their hometown dialect, it seems that everyone has forgotten the existence of this Zhao Qingfang who doesn't understand their dialect, Zhao Qingfang doesn't understand their language at all, but can guess that it should be a more serious topic through their sometimes happy and sometimes heavy expressions.

Occasionally, Meng Lianghua would take care of Zhao Qingfang's emotions between words, but he simply said: "Eat whatever you want, don't be polite." Most of these are at home. ”

Zhao Qingfang only nodded in response, and then buried herself in eating, but the aunt who had always been enthusiastic may have forgotten to greet Zhao Qingfang because she was too involved in the content of the chat, and others didn't say a word to her.

Zhao Qingfang, who ate this meal, was very embarrassed, but when she saw her parents for the first time, she thought about her mother's instructions before going out, thinking that it should be like this, Zhao Qingfang comforted herself silently.

finally endured the embarrassing lunch, thinking that Meng Lianghua would have time to chat with him to pass his embarrassing state, but he didn't expect that after the meal, Meng Lianghua's aunt was the center, supplemented by Meng's mother, and the other seven aunts and eight aunts surrounded Meng Lianghua, still using their hometown dialect, and continued to discuss what "big things".

After the meal, Zhao Qingfang could only continue to sit awkwardly on the most foreign sofa alone, and at this time, there was more Father Meng, who was already in a wheelchair, as his companion. But there was no topic between them, and occasionally Dad Meng just greeted Zhao Qingfang with polite words such as saliva.

In the afternoon, it was boring in this strange environment, and Meng Lianghua, the only one who could talk to the sky, was busy dealing with other things, so he was even more bored, and he wanted to take out his mobile phone to watch the news, but he kept thinking about whether they were talking about themselves in this heated discussion, after all, he should have been the protagonist today, thinking about whether they were saying good or bad things about themselves? Are they satisfied with themselves? Will they be saying that they are not doing well today? A series of questions were put in mind, so I didn't have the heart to put it on my mobile phone, and continued to listen to everyone's discussion with my ears pricked up, but the Chinese dialects are really different, and occasionally I can only hear some words or inconsequential words, and they can't be connected into oranges at all, but looking at Meng Lianghua's expression is very serious, I am a little worried.

After finally being cold for half an hour, Meng Lianghua stood up, walked towards Zhao Qingfang and said with a smile: "Are you sleepy?"

"It's fine. Zhao Qingfang said weakly.

"Why don't I take you to our village? Meng Lianghua suggested, "There is a hill behind our house, we all played there when we were children, I will take you to see, now there are a lot of Yingshan reds in spring." ”

"Okay!" Zhao Qingfang replied happily.

Zhao Qingfang was very happy to follow Meng Lianghua on the back mountain, the back mountain is more than 10 minutes away from Meng Lianghua's house, indeed as Meng Lianghua said, the mountains are full of red, especially after the baptism of spring rain last night, the red mountains are more gorgeous, strings, clusters, pressed on the branches is very good-looking.

Zhao Qingfang was surprised by such a beautiful scenery, immersed in it, and kept saying, "Wow... It's so beautiful!"

She sometimes ran here to pick a few flowers, sometimes ran where to pick a few, and after a while, her hands were already full of Yingshan red, and she also took out her mobile phone from time to time to take selfies, and she didn't forget to take pictures of Meng Lianghua while she was happy.

It's just that Meng Lianghua on the side didn't seem to be very happy, and he didn't want to cooperate with her interest, at first Zhao Qingfang thought that it might be his own home, so it was not surprising, but slowly he not only didn't appreciate this beautiful scenery, but also looked preoccupied.

Zhao Qingfang thought that the whole atmosphere had been strange since he arrived at his house today, coupled with his state, he asked with some worry: "What's wrong with you? Did your mother and relatives say something just now?"

"Nope. Meng Lianghua replied lightly.

"Then why don't you look so happy?" Zhao Qingfang asked suspiciously.

"Nope. Meng Lianghua continued to pale and weakly denial.

Zhao Qingfang is a very sensitive person, a woman's sixth sense tells her that something must be wrong, this relationship is very important to Zhao Qingfang and Zhao's mother, so she said in a humble tone: "It's okay, if your mother is dissatisfied with me, you tell me that I can change if there is anything dissatisfied." ”

"No, there's nothing wrong with you. Meng Lianghua denied, "It's good for you to be yourself, you don't need to change anything for anyone." ”
