It's been a thousand years in the world Chapter 6 Restraint and Passion
Flowers are a magical thing, just an organ of a plant, but they can resonate with human emotions. Different flowers can make people feel differently, this is the language of flowers.
Most men don't have a special fondness for flowers, while women love bouquets.
Dragged into the flower shop, Qi An smelled the mixture of various floral fragrances in the air, but felt quite comfortable.
Xu Wanqing picked a few different flowers and handed them to the clerk to use kraft paper. When checking out, the female clerk naturally looked at Qi An and asked, "Sir, a total of fifty-seven yuan, may I ask what you use to settle the bill?"
Xu Wanqing, who wanted to take out her mobile phone to check out, seemed to think it was very interesting when she saw this scene, so she put her phone back again.
Seeing that Qi An didn't react for a long time, the cashier asked again. Qi An glared at the gloating Xu Wanqing, smiled embarrassedly but politely and said, "She pays, you ask her." ”
Walking out of the flower shop and getting into the car, Qi An put the bouquet on the back seat, and then looked at Xu Wanqing helplessly: "Is it fun?"
"It's so funny, you don't know the way she looks at you when we come out. Xu Wanqing, who had been holding back laughter in the store, finally let go and laughed.
"Look at how you look like a dog, but I didn't expect it to be a little white face, she must be despising you for eating soft rice. ”
"Men pay the bill, which is simply a compensation for women by men who occupy a strong position in a patriarchal society. If women demand that men pay the bills so naturally, then the rights enjoyed by women will be eaten away by men step by step, because once this psychology of strong men and weak women is born, women will lose the initiative in social situations. ”
Qi An explained very seriously, but he added, "Of course, I don't object to men settling the bill, but I don't have any money for the time being." Also, it seems that if I'm said to be a little white face, it won't do you any good, right?"
Qi An looked at Xu Wanqing suspiciously, not knowing why she was using such a lose-lose move to trick herself.
Only then did he realize that it was not good for him, and turned his head away from Qi An. did not remind Qi An to fasten his seat belt, Xu Wanqing stepped on the accelerator hard.
After buying some fruit at the supermarket near Xu Wanqing's house, Qi An got out of the car and walked upstairs by himself, and Xu Wanqing went to the parking lot to park herself.
When I pressed the doorbell, I heard a loud reply from the house: "It's Xiao Qi, right? Old man, go open the door! Xiao Qing is bringing her boyfriend home!"
"Dead old woman, don't talk nonsense!" I heard Xu Anguo scold and open the door.
Seeing Qi An standing alone at the door, Xu Anguo subconsciously wanted to salute, but was stopped by Qi An: "I'm just your nephew, you can call me Xiao Qi in the future, you're welcome." ”
Xu Anguo, who was a little reluctant but had to agree, reluctantly responded, and whispered: "Qi... Xiao Qi, you... Please come in. He turned around and let Qi An in.
Qi An let go of his left hand that was holding Xu Anguo's arm, refused Xu Anguo's help to carry the fruit, and walked into the house.
At this time, Mrs. Xu also came out of the kitchen, rushed over to take the fruit, and complained: "This old Xu is too eyeless to see! ”
"Xiao Qi will come, don't buy any more gifts in the future. It's like your own home. ”
Seeing that Xu Anguo was angry and didn't dare to speak, Qi An smiled at Mrs. Xu, who was busy pouring tea: "I won't buy it in the future." ”
"What about Xiaoqing's girl, why didn't you come along?" Seeing that Xu Wanqing didn't come back with Qi An, she was a little strange.
"Oh, she went to park. Qi An took a sip of tea and replied.
"Oh so, then you sit down first, and I'll go to the kitchen and see how the soup is cooking. As he spoke, he peeled an orange and handed it to Qi An, and did not forget to advise: "Lao Xu, you are not allowed to neglect Xiao Qi." ”
With a sigh, Xu Anguo explained to Qi An: "This old woman has been like this all her life, if there is anything abrupt, please don't mind." ”
Qi An didn't mind, the people who could call themselves Qi An's elders had almost disappeared into the long river of history, and he hadn't felt the enthusiasm from his elders for a long time. Although the enthusiasm of the elders is often a little unexpected, there is always a little kindness.
"How are you doing?" I heard Xiaoqing say that you have some plans to talk to me?" Xu Anguo put down the thermos cup in his hand, rubbed his hands, and asked carefully.
"There are some plans that need to be discussed with you. Saying that, Qi An looked at Xu Anguo like a primary school student and looked very helpless, "Uncle Xu, you don't have to be so polite, I don't know what your family's ancestral teachings are, but since I have a relationship with Xiaoqing's peers, it is also appropriate to call you uncle, you can treat me as your own junior, don't worry about anything else." ”
Xu Anguo was actually a little relaxed when he heard this, but he was still a little restrained, and his eyes turned unnaturally. The family admonition that has been passed down from generation to generation for 40 years, where it can be said to be put down in a few words.
Seeing that Xu Anguo was still restrained, Qi An didn't know what to say. Unexpectedly, the most casual arrangement he made at the beginning made the Xu family stick to it to this day.
At this time, Xu Wanqing came back, and when she pushed the door open, she was just in time for Xu Anguo to look in her direction, and she was suddenly startled.
Feeling a little embarrassed, Xu Wanqing changed her shoes, walked in quickly and sat next to Qi An, patted Qi An's shoulder hard, and then remembered that her father was on the side, so she put on a posture of sitting upright.
"What are you talking about?" Although her posture was dignified, Xu Wanqing still looked at Qi An with a smile on her face and asked.
"Adults talk, children don't interject. Xu Anguo reprimanded. Seeing Qi An here, his father still reprimanded himself like a child, and Xu Wanqing's face was a little embarrassed. Seeing Qi An smiling at herself, Xu Wanqing felt her face burn, and bit her lip hatefully.
Qi An didn't want to see Xu Wanqing's embarrassed appearance, although it was funny, but Qi An knew that girls always didn't want others to see their disgraceful side.
I had to persuade: "It's okay, Uncle Xu." Let's just chat, Xiaoqing listens to it, it's okay. Xu Anguo gave up his plan to teach his daughter a long speech.
Xiaoqing! He even pretended to call himself that!
Looking at Qi An's smiling expression, Xu Wanqing's face was not obvious, but in her heart she decided that he was taking revenge on herself for making a fool of herself just now.
And my father listened to him so much!
Xu Wanqing was even more curious about who Qi An was.
A year ago, her father received a phone call and hurried out, only to learn later that she had taken a train overnight to a neighboring city more than 50 kilometers away.
After that, he brought Qi An back. At that time, Qi An always exuded an incompatible temperament, he didn't seem to be a person of this era, and he didn't say anything when he asked his father.
Later, what was even more excessive was that his father actually asked him to take care of Qi An, he was so old and an adult, and he still needed someone to take care of him? Xu Wanqing thought that either he was crazy, or Xu Anguo was crazy.
In the following contact, Xu Wanqing found that Qi'an seemed to have traveled from the fifties and sixties of the last century, and was very curious about all modern things.
Xu Wanqing concluded that Qi An must have come out of an isolated mountain village, and maybe some kind of relative who couldn't beat him came to join his father.
But Xu Wanqing still hasn't figured out why what Qi An said is so useful in front of Lao Xu like a holy decree.
These old Xu wouldn't say it, and Qi An didn't seem to hide these things too much from himself. Xu Wanqing thought that she could ask Qi An when she had time.
The three of them had their own thoughts, and they chatted for a while, and the time was close to noon. Qi An only heard Aunt Xu's slightly loud voice from the kitchen: "Old Xu, pack up and prepare for dinner!
Then I saw her leaning out of the kitchen and said to Qi An in a soft tone: "Xiao Qi go wash your hands and taste Auntie's craftsmanship for a while." ”
Xu Wanqing, who had never heard her mother's gentle tone, couldn't help but shiver and tremble.
Looking at her mother's meaningful eyes, Xu Wanqing understood that this was the way her mother-in-law looked at her son-in-law.
She treats Qi An as her boyfriend!
