It's also a coincidence that the Sicilian manor where Song Qingyi lives is not far from this shopping mall, and she chooses to come here every time, but she never expected that we would meet here.

We spotted each other almost at the same time, but it was she who greeted me first, and she smiled at me and shouted, "Xiang Nan." ”

I nodded in response to her greeting: "Mr. Song, are you also here to go shopping?"

"Well, for the New Year, let's buy some New Year's goods. Song Qingyi said as she looked at Wang Yan beside me suspiciously.

I immediately introduced: "I forgot to introduce, this is my friend Wang Yan, this is my former boss Song Qingyi." ”

Wang Yan and Song Qingyi smiled politely and said hello, I didn't really want to say anything more to Song Qingyi in this situation, so I said to her again: "Then Mr. Song, let's go back first, Happy New Year!"

Song Qingyi smiled faintly and nodded, and I left the mall with Wang Yan.

After coming out of the mall, Wang Yan asked me, "Is that the boss you used to be in an advertising agency?"

"Hmm. I didn't want to say too much, so I simply responded.

"It's pretty and it's very temperamental. ”

"Hmm. ”

"There should be a lot of people in your company who are courting her, right?"

"Hmm. ”

"What about you? Have you ever pursued her?"

"Well...... I realized something was wrong, and immediately changed my words, "No, I didn't, I'm not interested in her." ”

"Really?" Wang Yan looked at me with a disbelieving expression and asked, "Then what do you like?"

I smiled and said without hesitation: "I like to be quieter, it is best to have a bookish atmosphere, and the most important thing is to be able to live...... My old boss wouldn't be able to live. ”

Apparently I said this to her on purpose, and girls like to hear nice things, even if they know you're trying to please them.

After hearing me say this, Wang Yan is obviously much happier, women also love to compare, even if they know that they are inferior to others, she also wants to hear good things from the mouths of men.

Then we went to the vegetable market to buy some seasonal vegetables and fish, and when we returned to the small courtyard where I lived, Wang Yan went to the kitchen to get busy.

She is a woman who can live, and when she buys vegetables in the vegetable market, she has to bargain with the vendor for a few dimes.

I said that there was no need for the New Year, but she insisted that it was necessary, this is the basic of life, and I have nothing to say.

She is also very serious when washing vegetables in the kitchen, she will carefully clean each dish two or three times, and if she sees something untidy, she will also re-summarize, anyway, she is a little woman with a lot of details of life.

Saying that she is a little woman is not belittling her, everyone has strengths and weaknesses, although Song Qingyi is a strong woman in the shopping mall, she is just a little woman who has not graduated in life.

During the meal, Wang Yan suddenly said to me: "By the way, my parents said that they want to see you." ”

My hand shaking for a moment, stunned for a moment, and then asked her, "When?"

"The second year of junior high school, that is, the day after tomorrow, do you have time?"

"There should be......

"And what do you think?" she looked at me and quickly looked away.

"See, but what if your parents don't like me?"

"Probably not, my aunt often mentions you in front of them, and my parents are not the kind of unreasonable people, they are all very good. She said anxiously.

"Then it's fine, see you, I have time. ”

"Hmm. She nodded in response, a smile on her face.

I was in a trance, why was it so fast? What is our relationship now? Aren't we friends? Why did I start meeting my parents?

This is the second time we have met, and we have already eaten together, and it doesn't matter if we eat, it is mainly at my house, or she cooks herself.

The pace was so fast that I was in a trance, and I was thinking, if I met her parents the day after tomorrow, if it was okay, we might really be together, right?

The atmosphere is embarrassing somehow, maybe we all think that this pace is a little too fast, Wang Yan doesn't look like the kind of woman who is in a hurry to find a partner to marry, her own conditions are not bad, maybe it's the pressure from the family.

In order to dispel this awkward atmosphere, I took the initiative to divert the topic and asked her, "What grade of elementary school do you teach?"

"Sixth grade, several classes. ”

"That should be tiring, right?"

"Fortunately, the current students are not as disciplined as we were then, and they are much more mature than we were then. When it comes to her work, she talks about it a lot.

I took the opportunity to say, "Yes, these children are different now, they all have mobile phones, and the power of the Internet is too powerful...... We didn't talk about mobile phones at that time, it was great to have a TV at home. ”

"Yes, although my parents are both factory workers, they only bought the TV set at home after I was in junior high school. ”

"You've lived in the city since you were a child, haven't you?"

"That's right, my parents were assigned to the factory after graduating from high school, and the factory assigned them a room. ”

"That's good. ”

"Aren't you?"

"I am, but I have always lived in a fixed place, and I am also a rural hukou, my mother is from the city, and she used to have a house, but then she lost her ......"

We chatted and talked about some things from our childhood, and the topics gradually became more and more, and I got to know her better.

She is the only daughter in the family, she has been relatively independent since she was a child, she is contracted to do all the laundry and cooking, and there are not many friends around her, and the discipline at home is very strict, she must be allowed to go home before ten o'clock every night, and she is not allowed to fall in love before she becomes an adult.

I didn't tell her a lot about my family, how my mom died, or how my dad used to be a gambler.

Because I really want to develop a little bit with her, I don't want to tell her about the bad side of my family.

I can also see that she has developed with me first, otherwise she would not have been so nice to me, and she would not have asked me so much about me and my family.

After eating, she went to wash the dishes herself, and then found a mop to clean the kitchen inside and out, and she was a very diligent girl.

In the afternoon, we sat and chatted for a while, and she said that she wanted to go back, because the family was waiting for her to go back to cook Chinese New Year's Eve, saying that if she had time in the evening, she would come to me again and accompany me for New Year's Eve.

I sent her away, went to the nearby supermarket to buy some wine and food, and carried it to my dad's place where I lived, and I planned to eat with him for this year's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

When I came to my dad's rental, he was busy cooking Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and he was very happy to see me coming, and said that he was about to call me.

I was going to cook a Chinese New Year's Eve dinner with him, but he spent me and said that he bought a couplet for me to paste and window flowers.

I can't remember how long I haven't felt this way, it seems that I haven't spent the New Year with my mother since he died, although many things have happened to me during this time, but I am happy this year.
