After a day of traveling, when it was almost seven o'clock, Mo Fan finally returned home with Ji Xiaoying.

On the way, Mo Fan and his family talked on the phone and informed the approximate arrival time. His father Mo Yanhai and mother Yue Xinjie pinched the food and prepared a meal and sat in the living room waiting for them. As soon as the two of them entered the door, Mo Fan's parents greeted them.

Mo Fan has been away from home for another year, and if you count that dream, it will be more than thirty years. When he saw his father and mother, who were older, he felt like he was in a different world, and he was almost about to burst into tears. However, chatting with Ji Xiaoying all the way gave him a lot of room for adjustment in his mood, and he has worked with Lin Ruoxi for a long time, and it seems that he has also learned some skills to control his emotions from her. Fortunately, he behaved normally, otherwise he would have to scare his parents.

Ji Xiaoying greeted Mo Yanhai and Yue Xinjie with a smile, looking very well-behaved. Mo Fan had already seen Ji Xiaoying's style, so he was not surprised, but he felt that his parents seemed to be a little too enthusiastic about her, and they seemed a little too polite, so he said: "Dad, Mom, you don't have to treat her as an outsider, what are you doing so politely, it's too angry." ”

Yue Xinjie blamed: "You kid, what did you say! As soon as Xiaoying came to the door for the first time, how could this be called a shengfen?"

Mo Yanhai said: "Okay, stop nagging, let's eat quickly, they must be hungry." ”

Mo Fan and Ji Xiaoying took off their coats and hung them on the hanger. Yue Xinjie poured some warm water for the two of them, let them wash their faces, and then the four of them sat down around the dining table.

Ji Xiaoying said: "It's really embarrassing to let uncles and aunts wait until this to eat." ”

Yue Xinjie said: "We eat late here, and this is the time to eat dinner normally. ”

Mo Fan said to Ji Xiaoying: "You don't have to be polite, you should eat quickly." ”

Mo Yanhai said: "Yes, it's like going to your own home, let's eat quickly." ”

There are a total of six dishes on the table, all of which are local specialties of Qinzhou. One of them is a plate of dough, which is a famous snack in Qinzhou, which is a cold dish, which Yue Xinjie bought in the morning, and the ingredients will be accompanied before eating, which will not affect the taste. Seeing the red spicy oil on the dough, Mo Fan couldn't help but move his index fingers, this thing can't be eaten in Puhai.

Mo Yanhai likes to drink some wine when he eats at night, he drinks a lot of alcohol, and he doesn't drink much, not even one or two. Mo Fan also drank a little with his father.

Yue Xinjie put some vegetables in the bowl for Ji Xiaoying and asked her if she was used to eating. Ji Xiaoying nodded and said, it's delicious. Mo Fan couldn't help but think when he saw it, this is Lin Ruoxi, I'm afraid he won't eat a bite. After thinking about it, why did she come to my house? It is a serious matter to bring Lu Xiaorong back next time.

Mo Fan and Ji Xiaoying ate something on the plane at noon, and they would have been hungry for a long time by this time, and they didn't feel full after two bowls of rice, which was also because Mo Fan's rice bowl at home was a little delicate. Mo Fan came back with the third bowl, and when he saw that Ji Xiaoying's bowl was empty but he was sitting still, he said, "Go and serve it yourself." Ji Xiaoying looked at him and shook her head. Mo Fan smiled: "Are you afraid that my family will be poor? Don't worry, there is still food." ”

Yue Xinjie smiled and said, "It's a good thing to be able to eat, come, I'll give it to you." ”

Ji Xiaoying hurriedly said, "Auntie, I'll come by myself." "I went to the kitchen and served another bowl.

Mo Fan saw that she was not satisfied with this bowl, and said: "If you go on like this, if you lose weight after the New Year in my house, people will still abuse you in our family." ”

Mo Yanhai said: "Eat less and eat more, it's the same. ”

Mo Fan knew that Ji Xiaoying preferred meat, and the sour and spicy tenderloin and meatballs on the table were very appealing to her, so he took a spoon and scooped some for her. Mo Yanhai and Yue Xinjie glanced at each other, and the smiles on their faces were a little meaningful.

After eating, Ji Xiaoying helped clean up the table and went to wash the dishes again. When Mo Fan found out that she was a good girl, she still had a good eye, but she was afraid that she wouldn't be able to do this job, but it was good to have a heart, and said, "I'll come." Kicked Ji Xiaoying out of the kitchen.

Ji Xiaoying went to the living room to sit down and watch TV with Mo Fan's parents. Yue Xinjie and Ji Xiaoying started a homely routine, and although Mo Yanhai was watching TV, he was also listening to their conversation.

Yue Xinjie asked them about the situation on the road, it was all inconsequential gossip, and then asked, "Xiaoying, are you and Mo Fan colleagues?"

Ji Xiaoying said: "No, I am a police officer and work in a police station. ”

Yue Xinjie nodded, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and said, "Do you work hard?"

Ji Xiaoying said: "It's okay, but sometimes I work overtime." ”

Yue Xinjie said: "That's still quite hard. ”

Mo Yanhai interjected: "It's not hard to do what you do now, young people, how can you progress without suffering a little." ”

Yue Xin glanced at her husband, "I didn't say it's bad." I continued to chat with Ji Xiaoying again.

Mo Fan washed the dishes and returned to the living room, and when he saw his mother and Ji Xiaoying looking very close, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised, it seems that Ji Xiaoying's ability to fool people is not small. He sat down next to his father and talked to his parents while watching TV, and his body has changed a lot in the past six months, but with his parents, it is still the feeling of the past. As for some of the achievements made at work, it seems that they are also very insignificant, just saying that they have been promoted and raised, and their parents seem very happy, and they don't ask much about it.

At half past ten, Yue Xinjie said, "Today, you all rest early, and when you have enough spirits, you can go out to play tomorrow." ”

Mo Fan knew Ji Xiaoying's work and rest habits quite well, and knew that as long as she was not on duty, she would have to prepare to rest at this time. Say, "Go take a bath first." ”

Ji Xiaoying nodded. Everything was smooth on the way here today, and she wasn't tired, but she was a little excited this day, and she felt tired when she arrived.

Mo Fan's house is a two-bedroom house, and the bedroom that originally belonged to him belonged to Ji Xiaoying, and he could only be the hall director. Ji Xiaoying picked up the suitcase and went to the bedroom to sort out the clothes, Mo Fan went to the bathroom to test the water temperature, told her that it was okay to wash, and returned to the living room.

Taking advantage of Ji Xiaoying's bath, Mo Fan finally seized the opportunity to talk to his parents, took out the clothes that Lu Xiaorong bought for his parents, and said, "This is from my girlfriend to you." ”

Mo Yanhai tried on the clothes and said with a smile: "You see how caring other children are." ”

A trace of worry appeared on Yue Xinjie's face, and she said, "Xiaofan, the girlfriend you told me about is called Lu Xiaorong, right?"

Mo Fan said, "Yes." I thought, what is that girlfriend, why does my mother's words sound weird.

Yue Xinjie glared at her husband and said, "I said yes, you still say that I am old and confused, can I remember such an important name wrong?"

Mo Yanhai said: "If you remember correctly, you remember correctly, what are you staring at me for." ”

Yue Xinjie no longer paid attention to her husband and said to Mo Fan: "Xiaofan, you can't stay in the flower world of Puhai for a long time, and you will become a bad habit. ”

Mo Fan couldn't help but be a little puzzled, and said, "I haven't been infected with any vices." ”

Mo Yanhai said: "He will know his own affairs, if you don't understand the situation, don't talk nonsense." ”

Mo Fan smiled: "It's still my dad who understands me." ”

Yue Xinjie said: "Don't be hippie and smiling. Let me ask you, how did you bring Xiaoying back?"

Mo Fan was stunned for a moment and said, "Didn't I tell you the reason?" Rest assured, she's not a bad person. After finishing speaking, I felt a little ridiculous, I actually had a time to say good things for Ji Xiaoying.

Yue Xinjie said: "I didn't say that Xiaoying is bad, I mean you!"

Mo Fan crossed the canahan and said, "What's wrong with me?"

Yue Xinjie sighed lightly and said, "I won't talk about you in the past." Xiaoying's mother died early, and her father is so busy, you can't bully others. ”

Mo Fan thought to himself, I bullied her, and it would be good if she didn't bully me. But to his mother, he could only nod in response.

Mo Yanhai said: "Your mother is right, Xiaoying's child is not easy, her father has encountered setbacks in his work, you can't fall into the ground, you have to be kind to others at this time." ”

Mo Fan was a little amused and said, "What did she tell you, did her father encounter setbacks at work?" thought to himself, Ji Xiaoying dared to make up anything, and actually used this to deceive my parents' sympathy.

Yue Xinjie said: "Xiaoying said that her father works in the provincial government and will be transferred to the municipal government after the New Year, isn't it?"

Mo Fan nodded and said, "Yes." I thought, I see. Although things are right, from Jiangnan Province to Puhai City, at least it can be regarded as a level, right? Ji Xiaoying This is obviously a Spring and Autumn period brushwork, and her intentions are really hateful. But he thought about it again, in the end, he taught her to say this, and it seemed that he couldn't completely rely on her.

Mo Yanhai said: "But no matter how much people are mobilized, they are still in the government organs, which is much better than our family." Xiaoying's work is also good, it's like our Xiaofan, there is no guarantee at all. ”

Mo Fan was a little unconvinced when he heard this, and said, "Why am I not guaranteed? ”

Mo Yanhai said: "You are a private company, can you compare with other people's public meals?"

Mo Fan said: "Dad, what age is this, who said that eating public meals must be better than private enterprises?

Yue Xinjie said: "Actually, Xiaoying's work also worries me, how dangerous is it for a girl to be a criminal policeman?"

Mo Fan thought to himself, okay, it took a lot of work to wash the dishes just now, and Ji Xiaoying poured out everything. As for the members of the national security system, they don't even have the most basic anti-interrogation capabilities, which is too substandard.

Mo Yanhai said: "It's nothing, it's good to have the opportunity to change to a clerk in the future." ”

Yue Xinjie said: "You tune it, look at what you say lightly!"

Mo Yanhai said: "It's nothing if it's not reconciled, someone has to do the revolutionary work, and decadent ideas are unacceptable." ”

Yue Xinjie said: "You are a small team leader in the end, what kind of high-profile are you blind?"

Mo Yanhai said: "What's wrong with the team leader, can't he have ideological consciousness?"

Mo Fan smiled and said, "Mom, my dad is joking with you, what are you really talking about? Besides, Ji Xiaoying's work is worried about herself and her family, what do you have to fight for?"

Mo Yanhai said to his wife: "That's right, what are you talking about." ”

Yue Xinjie glared at her husband and said, "You are not angry with me!" and said to Mo Fan, "You have to think about everything in the long run, in the future, you will become a family, and she often works overtime to handle cases, not to mention that you are tired, can you let go of it?"

Mo Fan was really choked by his mother's words, and finally understood why this family education started, and hurriedly said: "You misunderstood, I and Ji Xiaoying are not the kind of relationship you think." ”

Yue Xinjie said, "Then what is your relationship?"

Mo Fan said, "Friend." ”

Yue Xinjie said, "Friend?"

Mo Fan said: "Good friend." ”

Yue Xin said angrily: "You don't have trouble with me! Isn't it your girlfriend who can go home with you for the New Year? I and your father have nothing to do in our lives, but we have always done things clearly, how can you be so unclear?"

Mo Yanhai also said: "Stinky boy, don't be angry with your mother, why don't you worry about it as soon as you come back?"

Mo Fan said helplessly: "Okay, okay, I was wrong, can't I listen to you?" Therefore, taking a girl home for the Chinese New Year is not a girlfriend but also a girlfriend. What is this called?

If it's in someone else's home, maybe it's not a problem. But some of Mo Fan's parents' concepts are relatively old, so they fell into stereotyped thinking, Mo Fan really had some trouble with them, and he didn't want to continue arguing with his parents. Anyway, Ji Xiaoying is here, I believe it won't take them two days to understand, don't they all say that facts speak louder than words.

At this time, the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, and then the sound of the door opening was heard, and the three members of the Mo family stopped the topic.

After a while, Ji Xiaoying came to the living room and said, "Uncle and aunt, I'll go to sleep first." She changed into pale pink split pajamas, which were a little more cute than her previous outfits, showing some cuteness. Mo Fan also saw her in pajamas for the first time, and it seemed that at this time, he really felt that she was younger than himself. When Ji Xiaoying was evil in the past, let alone her age, even her gender could be ignored.

Yue Xinjie smiled and said, "Go to sleep, let Mo Fan take you to play tomorrow." ”

Ji Xiaoying said goodnight to the three of them and went to the bedroom. Yue Xinjie remembered one more thing and said to Mo Fan, "You go and get a cup of boiling water and put it at the head of Xiaoying's bed." ”

Mo Fan answered, got up and poured a glass of water, and knocked on the door twice. After a while, Ji Xiaoying opened the door, Mo Fan went in and put the cup on the bedside table, and said, "My mother asked me to pour it for you." The weather here is dry and the heating is sufficient, so you can drink a little when you are thirsty at night. ”

Ji Xiaoying smiled and said, "Your mother is so good!"

Mo Fan grinned, he wanted to say a few words to her, but after thinking about it, he forgot it and said, "Go to sleep." ”

Mo Yanhai and Yue Xinjie usually watch TV until twelve o'clock, but today they also washed up and fell asleep in consideration of letting Mo Fan rest earlier.

The sofa in the living room can be used as a bed to sleep on, and there were relatives at home before, and Mo Fan didn't sleep here. The bedding pillow Yue Xinjie had already been laid, and Mo Fan was lying on it, but he couldn't sleep for a while. It seems that her parents have a very good impression of Ji Xiaoying, and it's no wonder that violent girls are too good at pretending in front of their elders. In the future, if you bring Lu Xiaorong back, she should be able to gain the favor of her parents more, compared to Ji Xiaoying, she is really well-behaved.
