Chapter 142: The Xu Family and Watermelon
Wang Cailian has been restless since she got up early in the morning, she didn't go grocery shopping, and she didn't go to the morning exercises, for fear that the sound outside would make her miss her son's call to report his safety.
Chen Chi habitually dialed the landline at home for the first time, and the other party quickly picked it up, and his mother's voice came from inside: "Hey?"
"Mom, I'm here. ”
"Chi'er, you've finally arrived, and mom has been waiting for your call. Wang Cailian said happily.
"Mom, I'm at Frost's house now, I'll call back in the evening. ”
"Hey, Chi'er, Chi'er. Wang Cailian stopped her son, and after thinking about it, she made up her mind, "Are Shuangshuang's parents here?"
"In. Chen Chi said succinctly, he was sensitive, immediately understood his mother's intentions, and was a little embarrassed in his heart, he had not yet been affirmed by his father-in-law, and it was probably not good to let his parents communicate directly.
Sure enough, his mother inquired, "Shall I say a word to Frost's parents?"
Chen Chi looked at Xu Shuangchuan, she stared at him with flashing eyes, and the old man went to the kitchen when he was talking on the phone, and was talking to his mother-in-law in a dialect he didn't understand, he narrowed his eyes and said: "Mom, we just arrived, Shuangshuang's parents are busy cooking for us in the kitchen, next time." ”
"Good. Wang Cailian hung up the phone, frowning.
The Chen family is booking a table in a hurry, and they will naturally ask what requirements the Xu family has, how the Xu family is going to do it, and what day the Xu family is going to have a banquet, the two children have only been back for a month, and the time is tight, whether the two families will conflict, whether they will be too close to each other, so that the two children can't turn around, and so on.
Previously, Chen Chi was abroad, busy defending his thesis, and he did not go into detail, only saying that the first stop was to Xu's house. Wang Cailian can also understand that the big things have to wait for people to come together face-to-face before they can discuss a specific charter, no, the children are back, she just wants to have a friendly exchange with her in-laws as soon as possible, and ventilate her family's preparations to her in-laws.
The son didn't let her communicate with her in-laws, Wang Cailian could only think so, the in-laws attached great importance to the reception banquet of the young couple, and the son was lacking in skills. She waited for her son's call in the evening.
In the living room of the Xu family, only Xu Shuanghua and Chen Chi remained.
Chen Chi glanced in the direction of the kitchen, got up and sat back next to Xu Shuangxiao, and said with a smile: "Shuangshuang, are you tired?"
Xu Shuangchuan shook his head and asked with concern, "Are you tired?"
At this time yesterday, Chen Chi was still holding Xu Shuangchuan and kept coaxing in her ear: "Shuangshuang, get up and get up, we're going to catch a plane." ”
At this time today, the two of them arrived at her house, like hard-working mandarin ducks, with a lot of worries, afraid that the person who raised the mandarin duck would knock a big stick down.
"Shuangshuang," Chen Chi seized the opportunity and whispered, "I'll go out to live later, don't fight." ”
Xu Shuang was distressed, she pursed her lips, she didn't know what to do, her parents belonged to her, if they really didn't welcome Chen Chi, she forced Chen Chi to stay, according to her mother's character, she would definitely give Chen Chi a look, and it was embarrassing at that time. But she followed Chen Chi out to live, and she did this as soon as she got off the plane, how sad her parents were.
Chen Chi looked at Xu Shuangchuan's panicked and sad expression, blinked and smiled: "This is your parents' test for me, I have to take it, don't make a fuss." You've done a good job in front of you, but it's a bit deliberate, and we can all see it. ”
Xu Shuang burst out laughing and glanced at him with disgust.
Chen Chi raised his hand and gently brushed the broken hair in her ear, his voice was lowered, and he said very quickly: "Shuangshuang, you have to live separately before you get married, and there are some places that have this rule." We endured it and went back for our honeymoon. ”
Xu Shuang snapped down his hand, too embarrassed to look at Chen Chi, buried his head and whispered, "Don't move your hands and feet." ”
Chen Chi held back a smile, leaned away from Xu Shuang, and there was a gap between the two.
Xu Manting saw Chen Chi's action of brushing Xu Shuang's hair, and it was really a taste in his heart. He is also a person from the past, and with this action, it can at least be seen that this young man is full of true feelings for his daughter at this time. The two children talked in small pieces, laughing and laughing, and he held a plate of watermelons in his eyes.
The daughter she raised is liked, and she doesn't have only a father and mother in her heart, and she sees another person put in it.
Xu Manting looked at his wife, Xuan Chunhua lowered her head and pinched the fish balls neatly, and the newly permed hair that she had specially went to two days ago was caught behind her ear, and a drop of sweat hung on her head, and soon it would flow to the pinna, and the stove was spread out by seven plates and eight lamps. This dish is particularly troublesome, the fish meat has to be chopped into a puree, the flour has to be mixed into a soup, the fish bones are removed and boiled into soup over a slow fire. Today, it's not too troublesome, and the soup has to add shredded egg skin, and the thin egg skin is also spread by yourself.
Xu Manting picked up a dry handkerchief and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off Xuan Chunhua's face.
"Why didn't they take it out? On a hot day, they just took a sip of water. Xuan Chunhua frowned at her husband and urged, "Go quickly." Hey, let Frost eat less, otherwise you won't be able to eat at dinner. ”
Watermelon, watermelon, it's hard for Chen Chi to forget the watermelon of his father-in-law's family. From the treatment of eating watermelon, it can reflect the change in his status in his father-in-law's house, which is a long, long time later, Xu Shuangchuan was jealous that her own status was threatened, and after pouting and pondering it, she reluctantly analyzed it to him.
Chen Chi recalled afterwards and felt that it really made sense.
It's a pity that he was too careless at that time, and he ate watermelon many times at his father-in-law's house, but he didn't realize anything.
This first time, the watermelon was washed by the father-in-law, and the mother-in-law cut it, maybe the mother-in-law hurriedly freed her hands in the interval between cooking, so the watermelon cutting method is more bold.
The old man was enthusiastic, and picked out a piece of the fattest watermelon for him, triangular pyramidal, and the arc of the bottom was wide no matter which side, and the old man handed it over with his own hands: "Xiao Chen, eat a piece of watermelon first, and the rice will have to wait for a while." ”
"Thank you, uncle. Chen Chi got up and took it with both hands, genuinely happy. Although the old man is too polite, this is reasonable, if he dislikes him, then no matter how polite he is, he will not give him the biggest watermelon. Chen Chi's confidence suddenly increased, and it seemed that he still had a good hope of impressing his father-in-law and mother-in-law in a short period of time.
"Dad, we haven't eaten watermelon in a long time. Xu Shuang smiled at her father, and every thing her parents were kind to Chen Chi could make her happy. She obediently took a well-proportioned watermelon and handed it to Xu Manting: "Dad, give it." Then he habitually picked a small piece of watermelon for himself.
Xu Manting felt great pity for his daughter: "In the future, let your mother buy it every day, it's not easy to eat watermelon? Eat less now, and you will have to eat in a while." ”
Xu Shuang hummed and took a bite, the watermelon was cold and sweet. She hadn't eaten watermelon in a long, long time, and the first bite was wonderful.
"Eat fast. Xu Shuang lowered her eyebrows and urged Chen Chi.
Gnawing watermelon is to take into account the image, the watermelon is small, so that the corners of the mouth on both sides will not be smeared with watermelon water. Xu Shuangchuan subconsciously picked small pieces to eat, this was natural for many years, she didn't think of it for Chen Chi.
Chen Chi himself would not have thought of these details, he began to be embarrassed when he ate to the end and needed to bury his face in order to gnaw the watermelon pulp at the bottom.
What is Chen Chi's identity now?
I usually eat watermelon, I can eat it how I want, can I eat it at this time?
As soon as he raised his eyes, the old man smiled and looked at Mimi on the other side. (To be continued.) )
