"Okay, you should be able to get back by nine o'clock tomorrow morning, I'll wait for you at home, call me."

"Okay, that's it, you should go to your mother."

The two came out of the wonton restaurant, looked at each other and broke up. Along the way, Wu Xiaojun was uneasy and full of contradictions, repeatedly thinking about what would happen to Qin Meixiang and what would happen if she didn't go. After all, he and Qin Meixiang are not ordinary classmates, should they say hello to their parents in advance, and be prepared, if Qin Meixiang is unwilling to see her family, will it cause her family to have unlimited speculation and questioning. If you think about it, it's better to blow the wind to them in advance.

By noon, Wu Pingshun's spirit was much better, and although his body was weak, he was able to eat something and talk to others. Xiao Junniang was worried at home and didn't close her eyes all night, and when she saw Wu Pingshun's condition improving, she shed tears of excitement. After everyone else went out for lunch, Wu Xiaojun briefly told the second elder that Qin Meixiang might come to visit his father.

Early the next morning, Wu Xiaojun packed up his home and hurried to the county seat. Next to the Yuanzhen Market diagonally opposite the family courtyard of the county party committee, I found a public phone, hesitated for a while and took a long breath, and said nervously, the ugly daughter-in-law can't be afraid to see her in-laws, a big man should be refreshing and neat, why twist and pinch like a little daughter-in-law, thinking of this, I dialed the phone number after a few clicks. The phone was dialed, and it was Qin Meixiang who answered the phone.

Wu Xiaojun was overjoyed, and said excitedly for a while, "Mei Xiang, it's me, it's the small kiosk diagonally opposite the compound, is it convenient for you to speak now?" ”

Qin Meixiang whispered, "Listen, my mother is at home, you wait for me, and I'll go out later." ”

"Xiaoxiang, whose phone number, is it a classmate looking for you, is it a man or a woman?" Zhao Shuting asked loudly.

"My mother told me that I had something, so I won't tell you, let's go see those old classmates together another day, and that's it." Qin Meixiang deliberately said loudly so that her mother could hear it.

About half an hour later, I saw Qin Meixiang from a distance carrying a black leather bag, wearing a beige dress with black pinstripe ripples, a straight neckline, over-the-shoulder sleeveless, an elastic band on the waist, and the skirt was a little more than two inches below the knee.

Wu Xiaojun was very excited, and immediately greeted him, "Mei Xiang, I'm here." ”

Qin Meixiang put on light makeup, applied a little powder, chattered softly, and said with a smile without showing her teeth, "Let you wait, I thought about it last night, and I think I should take this opportunity to meet your father and mother, so as not to have any regrets in the future." ”。

Wu Xiaojun's heart was full of joy, he couldn't close his mouth with a smile, and said casually, "The ugly daughter-in-law is going to see her in-laws, and her mother-in-law is still in the dark." ”

Qin Meixiang chuckled, "you, who is the ugly daughter-in-law, you are bringing a beautiful girl, but not a daughter-in-law." Let's go, go to the front and buy something. Wu Xiaojun said, "What to buy, it's not a string of relatives." ”

Qin Meixiang said, "Stupid, you can't go empty-handed, don't you feel cold in that way." ”

The two of them carried two buckets of malt milk essence and walked side by side, talking and laughing and laughing directly to the ward, which startled Qin Meixiang. There were more than a dozen people inside and outside the door of the ward, watching Wu Xiaojun greet them cordially, looking at them one by one with strange eyes, knowing that they were all relatives of their family, they couldn't help but blush, their hearts were pounding, and they lowered their heads shyly.

The two came directly to the hospital bed, Wu Xiaojun gently put the things in his hand under the bedside table, looked at Wu Pingshun and said, "Dad, this is my high school classmate Qin Meixiang, who was admitted to Xiangzhou University last year, and came to see you." ”

Wu Pingshun looked at it carefully and said softly, "Mei Xiang, I remembered, I sent Xiaojun to Pingxi to go to school last year, let's still go on the same road, sit down, sit down." I'm not a serious illness, and I'm bothering my daughter to come and see me. ”

Qin Meixiang raised her head lightly, and said naturally and generously, "Yes, Uncle has a really good memory, and he still remembers it after almost a year, how is it, do you feel better?" ”

Wu Pingshun nodded and said, "Thank you, girl, it's much better." ”

Wu Xiaojun's mother happily brought a small stool, "Girl, sit down and rest, your uncle is much better now." ”

Qin Meixiang said politely, "Thank you, Auntie, don't be tired." ”

At this time, three women came from outside, one of them was in his thirties, although he was not tall, but his temperament was extraordinary, he glanced at Qin Meixiang up and down, and asked, "Xiaojun, who is this, why haven't you seen it before?" ”

Wu Xiaojun hurriedly said, "Third sister-in-law, it's my classmate Qin Meixiang, I heard that my father was sick, so I came to take a look." ”

The third sister-in-law, Zhu Chunyan, hurriedly smiled and stretched out her hand, "Thank you, little sister, shake hands, it's really like a family at first sight." Qin Meixiang suddenly blushed, her heart was weak, she jumped suddenly, gently stretched out her slender hand and shook it with Zhu Chunyan, and said very embarrassedly, "The third sister-in-law is beautiful and enthusiastic, she is really good at talking, so that the sister really can't bear it." ”

Wu Xue, who was sitting on the side and talking to Wu Pingshun with her head bowed, looked at Zhu Chunyan and Qin Meixiang chatting very hotly, and couldn't help but raise her eyes to take a closer look, got up and said, "Little girl, I seem to have seen you somewhere, you look very familiar." ”

Wu Xiaojun immediately introduced, "Mei Xiang, this is my aunt, my home is on the North Ring Road of the county seat, and my cousin-in-law and her father used to be the head of the armed forces department of Chengguan Town. Auntie, Mei Xiang's father is now the mayor of Qin in Chengguan Town. ”

Qin Meixiang nodded, and her voice was crisp, "Auntie." ”

Wu Xue said with a smile on her face, "It turned out to be Xiaoxiang, no wonder it looks familiar, I often met your mother a few years ago, when you were still young, time flies so fast, I haven't seen you for a few years, you have grown into a big girl, and you look like a special water spirit, you are really loved by everyone." Is your mother, Mr. Zhao, okay? ”

Qin Meixiang said, "Auntie, my mother is fine, she is now the director of education at Shengxian Middle School." ”

Wu Xuepo's Zhang family is one of the four famous families in the county that year, with a large population, the father-in-law is the original county magistrate, the husband is the vice president of the county hospital, and he has just retired from the county food bureau for less than two years, the current brother-in-law is the director of the county highway bureau, the eldest daughter's father-in-law is the director of the former county fertilizer factory, the eldest son Zhang Bingxin directly entered the county industrial and commercial bureau after the transfer of the army, and the father-in-law is the deputy mayor of the former Chengguan Town. Because of these social relationships, Wu Xue naturally came into contact with more people, and in front of these poor relatives in the countryside, he showed some arrogance of contempt, and for Wu Xiaojun's brothers and sisters, they rarely interacted with them, and they seemed even more out of place.

Wu Xiaojun felt that Qin Meixiang met her family for the first time, and it was better to play on the spot, and it was better to go symbolically, and it was not appropriate to stay for a long time, but he was more worried that after a long time, maybe someone would say something that should not be said, and there would be an embarrassing and ugly situation for Meixiang. So he glanced at Qin Meixiang and gave her a look, Qin Meixiang understood, and said with a smile, "Uncle, aunt, aunt, third sister-in-law, I still have something to do, so I will stay soon, uncle should pay attention to rest, I wish you a speedy recovery." After saying that, he turned around and walked out the door.

Zhu Chunyan said, "Little sister, come to my house to play when you have time, you send a little girl to Xiaojun, I won't send it." ”

Wu Xiaojun then followed, and as soon as the two arrived downstairs, they happened to meet Luo Xiao and his father Luo Wen, Qin Meixiang asked in surprise, "Uncle, Luo Xiao, you are also here to see the patient, right?" ”

Rowan said with a smile, "What a coincidence, we went to see Xiaojun's father, but I didn't expect to meet you here." ”
