Chapter 10: Unhappy Breakups
Xiaoying thought it was just an ordinary home-cooked meal, but she didn't expect that when she arrived at the dinner table, she was surprised by the colorful dishes, glutinous rice pork ribs, garlic and white meat, cured meat and double steamed, oyster mushrooms in tomato sauce, wings in red wine, braised anchovy shrimp, crab vermicelli pot, salmon, blueberry yam, red wine and pear, coconut milk cake...... There are also some dishes that she can't name, where is this commonplace, even if the state receives foreign guests, I'm afraid it's just that. Anjia's dining table is a long Western-style table, and the two-meter-long dining table is full of delicious and colorful dishes, which makes people's appetite move when they look at it.
Not to mention Xiaoying, but everyone in the An family was taken aback, on weekdays, the most four people eat is only nine dishes and one soup, where did this grand scene come from today, but there is one more person, but there are more than a dozen more dishes, it seems that Sister-in-law Zhang is also very concerned about this matter.
Father An looked at the different dining table and didn't say anything, and sat directly on the main seat, and still paid great attention to the rules in the An family, such as this main seat must be done by the head of the family, and for example, if you eat, Father and Mother don't move chopsticks, comfort and tranquility must not be moved first, and so on.
Mother Ann pursed her lips and smiled when she saw this colorful dish, and pulled Xiaoying into the seat.
An Ning also followed, but An Yi pretended to be injured and slowed everyone a few steps behind, while An Yi continued his snail speed, he generally secretly complained, it was really not easy to pretend to be injured.
Seeing that everyone was seated, Father An raised his chopsticks, "Let's eat." ”
Everyone picked up the chopsticks and began to eat, An's mother kept putting vegetables in Xiaoying's bowl, she really looked like a mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were harmonious, An Ning looked at Xiaoying while eating, Xiaoying looked at the hill silently piled up in the bowl, and was embarrassed to say anything, and began to eliminate An's mother's love, it was that big bowl of dishes, and Anyi didn't care about anything else, she hadn't eaten for a day from yesterday afternoon to this evening, so she couldn't take care of anything else, that is, she worked hard to fill her stomach.
After a while, this peace was broken by An Ning, who put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to An's father and mother, "Dad, Mom, I want to be engaged to Xiaoying." A sentence made everyone who was eating stop the chopsticks in their hands and look at Anning.
"It's a little too early to get engaged." Before An's father could speak, An's mother took the lead in speaking.
"Mom, my son is not young anymore, besides, I have been dating Xiaoying for more than a year, and both parties have this meaning, bringing Xiaoying today is just to officially visit the workshop." An Ning said with a serious face.
"Xiaoying, is that so?" Mother Ann turned her head and asked the little shadow on the side.
After listening to An Ning's words, Xiaoying's face shy was about to shrink into her neck, after all, it was only the first time she saw her parents to confirm such an important matter, but when she heard An's mother's question, she still replied as thin as a mosquito and a fly, "En." That's probably the most she's said today. In fact, although Xiaoying is a little introverted, she is not so bad at words, but she is too nervous in front of Anning's parents and her future in-laws.
Hearing Xiaoying's answer, An's mother added a smile to her face, this kid has done a really good job of keeping secrets, he has been delaying for so long, and he hasn't shown a little news. "That's a good thing, when are you going to get engaged."
"Dad, Mom, I have discussed the plan to get engaged next month, and if you can, we are going to get married next year."
"Did you kid plan everything, just planning to tell me and your dad." An's mother complained, although she complained, the smile on her lips did not diminish, her son has found a daughter-in-law, and she is the happiest, she will also want to hug her grandson, and although it is the first time to see this future daughter-in-law, she still likes this girl.
"Mom, I don't want you to bother." An Ning pretended to be embarrassed and said that she had been hiding from her parents about falling in love, and suddenly said that the engagement was indeed a bit shocking.
"Big brother, sister-in-law, congratulations." An Yi was talking, and it was fun to be playing tricks in his hands, which also caused everyone to laugh.
A happy scene was interrupted by a serious sentence: "Xiao Ning, I don't care if you fall in love, but it's a little too early to get engaged." Father An also put down the chopsticks in his hand and said to An Ning.
Hearing Father An's words, everyone's faces changed, "Dad, I have been dating Xiaoying for nearly two years, and Xiaoying and I are both twenty-four years old this year, and it is not too early to get engaged now." Looking at Xiaoying's pale face, An Ning hurriedly explained.
"Yes, it's really not too early for Xiao Ning to get engaged at this age, and I like Xiaoying a lot." An's mother also began to help.
"Yes, Dad, it's not too early for my eldest brother to find a sister-in-law at this age." An Yi also persuaded him, if Father An said that one was one before, he would never dare to interject half a sentence from his father's words, but since he got the exquisite fairy jade, his personality has gradually changed.
"I said, I don't agree with the engagement." Father An said undoubtedly.
"Dad."
An Ning still wanted to fight, but was interrupted by his father with a wave of his hand, "Needless to say, eat." ”
"In-joon." An's mother looked at her husband suspiciously, she obviously didn't expect her husband's reaction.
Father An frowned as if he was thinking about something, and the soup spoon in his hand kept stirring the bowl of soup in front of him, but it was never put into his mouth.
Looking at An's father's appearance, An's mother was also thoughtful, as if she also remembered something, and the smile on her lips gradually converged, and in an instant, a wry smile appeared on her face.
"Xiao Ning, Xiao Ying, let's talk about your engagement in a few days, you are still young, don't be in such a hurry." Mother Ann held Xiaoying's hand and said to the two.
Before An Ning could speak, Xiaoying replied first, "I know, Auntie." As he spoke, he stood up, "Uncle, Auntie, I have something to do, so I'll leave first." ”
"Son, we don't mean anything else, it's just that I want to get engaged for a while."
"Auntie, I know, it's because we haven't thought it through enough, since my uncle and aunt want it, let's talk about it after a while, I'll leave first." Saying that, she got up and walked out of the door, but it was not polite to leave like this, but she knew that she would lose her temper if she stayed any longer, she couldn't control the tears in her eyes, and they kept flowing out like a broken embankment, and she couldn't hold it back.
"Little Shadow." An Ning hurriedly followed, and seeing the tears left by Xiaoying when she turned around, An Ning only felt that her heart seemed to have missed a beat, so sad.
An Ning took Xiaoying's hand, "I'll send you." Looking at the tearful man in front of him, he didn't know what to say, he just wanted to leave with Xiaoying first.
