Chapter 242: Meeting the 'Parents'
The third day of the first month. Zhao Yang accompanied Lin Xueqi to her aunt's house to pay New Year's greetings. Since Lin Xueqi's aunt shouted, Zhao Yang was not free to go, so it was not easy not to go.
Lin Xueqi's aunt's house is quite far from the community where Zhao Yang's family is located, and it took more than half an hour to get there by car. It is in a villa complex with a quiet and elegant environment.
Following Lin Xueqi to the door of a three-story single-family villa, Lin Xueqi stepped forward and rang the doorbell, and at the same time said to Zhao Yang beside him: "This is my aunt's house." My aunt only has a seven or eight-year-old son, who is quite naughty. ”
"Hmm!" Zhao Yang smiled and nodded.
After a while, the door in front of me opened from the inside, and it was opened by a young woman in her mid-thirties. When the young woman saw Lin Xueqi standing at the door, she hurriedly stepped forward with a smile and took Lin Xueqi's hand, and said, "Miss Xueqi, it's here." Come, come, hurry into the house, it's cold outside, don't freeze to death. ”
Obviously, this young woman is Lin Xueqi's aunt.
At this time, Lin Xueqi's aunt also saw Zhao Yang standing behind Lin Xueqi, and her eyes immediately narrowed with a smile, looking at Zhao Yang up and down, with a look like 'mother-in-law looking at her son-in-law', she seemed to be quite satisfied and nodded slightly, and then turned her head sideways to Lin Xueqi next to her and asked, "Xueqi girl, why don't you introduce this to your aunt, handsome guy?" ”
Lin Xueqi saw that her aunt's first perception of Zhao Yang seemed to be quite good, and suddenly a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she held her aunt's arm affectionately, and said coquettishly: "Auntie, his name is Zhao Yang, and he is also a student of H University." ”
"Oh? Is it? Lin Xueqi's aunt glanced at her and said with a smile: "Miss Xueqi, he shouldn't be your classmate, right?" ”
"Not really!" Lin Xueqi said: "He applied for a two-year leave of absence because of a little thing. So he's only a freshman now, and he should have been in the same class as me. ”
"Oh!" Lin Xueqi's aunt nodded, glanced at Zhao Yang again, and immediately beckoned, "Okay, Zhao Yang." Come, hurry up and go into the house, let's talk slowly when we enter the house! ”
As she spoke, she hurriedly beckoned Zhao Yang and Lin Xueqi to walk into the house together.
Zhao Yang also greeted Lin Xueqi's aunt with a smile: "Auntie, Happy New Year!" Just call me Xiao Yang. ”
Hearing Zhao Yang's greeting, Lin Xueqi's aunt suddenly became more satisfied. There was always a smile on his face.
When Zhao Yang and Lin Xueqi entered the house together, there was a middle-aged man in his thirties and close to forty years old sitting on the sofa watching TV in the living room, and there was a boy about seven or eight years old next to him.
Seeing Lin Xueqi and Zhao Yang coming in, the middle-aged man also got up with a smile and said, "Xueqi." It's coming. Come on, come and sit here! ”
Hear the greeting of the middle-aged. Lin Xueqi hurriedly smiled and said 'um'. Pulled Zhao Yang over together, and then introduced to the middle-aged man: "Uncle, this is Zhao Yang!" ”
"Zhao Yang, this is my uncle!"
Hearing Lin Xueqi's introduction, Zhao Yang hurriedly opened his mouth to greet him: "Hello uncle! ”
Lin Xueqi's uncle also looked Zhao Yang up and down at this time, and saw that Zhao Yang's demeanor was calm and calm. There was a faint graceful and atmospheric bearing on his body, and he nodded slightly, and it could be seen that he was also quite satisfied with Zhao Yang.
"Huh. Xiao Yang, come, sit down, drink a cup of hot tea first, it's quite cold outside. Lin Xueqi's uncle smiled and beckoned Zhao Yang and Lin Xueqi to sit down.
"It's a little cold, but it's fine. I'm in pretty good shape, but I don't think so. Zhao Yang and Lin Xueqi sat down on the sofa together and said with a smile.
Lin Xueqi's uncle glanced up at Zhao Yang when he heard this, nodded with a smile, and then handed two cups of steaming tea to Zhao Yang and Lin Xueqi respectively.
"Uncle Xiexie!" Zhao Yang took it and hurriedly thanked him. Lin Xueqi next to her also held Zhao Yang's arm with one hand and thanked him with a smile: "Uncle Xiexie!" ”
Looking at the sweet looks of Zhao Yang and Lin Xueqi, Lin Xueqi's uncle smiled with satisfaction, and then asked, "By the way, Xiao Yang, I seemed to hear Xueqi at the door just now that you are also studying at H University?" What is your major? ”
Zhao Yang took a sip of hot tea, and after hearing Lin Xueqi's uncle's question, he put the teacup on the coffee table in front of him and replied, "I studied 'business administration'. ”
"Business administration, well, pretty good. Study hard, and it's quite easy to find a job after graduation. H University is also a well-known first-class university in China. Lin Xueqi's uncle nodded slightly and said.
Zhao Yang smiled and didn't speak.
At this time, Lin Xueqi's uncle asked again: "That, Xiao Yang, who are some people in your family?" Are you a native of H City? ”
Hearing Lin Xueqi's uncle's inquiry, Zhao Yang didn't think anything was wrong. Before he came, he was mentally prepared that he would definitely be asked about the situation at home, so he calmly replied: "Uncle, my family...... I'm alone now......"
After a slight pause, Zhao Yang pretended to smile lightly and continued: "Actually, I should be regarded as half an orphan, my grandfather brought me up when I was a child. My grandfather also left more than a year ago, and there are no other relatives in the family, so I am the only one left. ”
Hearing Zhao Yang say so frankly, Lin Xueqi couldn't help but look at Zhao Yang, reached out and held his hand tightly, as if encouraging him.
Zhao Yang knew what Lin Xueqi meant, so he couldn't help but turn his head and smile at her, giving her a reassuring look, indicating that he was fine.
Lin Xueqi's uncle obviously didn't expect Zhao Yang to have such a background, and after hearing this, he couldn't help but nodded, and said a little apologetically: "Xiao Yang, I'm sorry, I don't know your situation, I hope you don't mind." As Xueqi's elder, I just want to know more, and I don't mean anything else. ”
After a pause, Lin Xueqi's uncle continued: "Xueqi, this girl is the only daughter in the family, her parents are usually busy with business matters, and they rarely have time to care about her. Now that she is studying here in H City, her aunt and I, as her elders and relatives here, are inevitably more concerned about her life and other aspects. ”
"Of course, as long as you really like each other and can stay together. Her aunt and I are not pedantic people, and we will not interfere with you too much. It's just, as Xueqi's elder. I also hope that she can have a home in the future, and I hope that the people who are with her can really like her, take care of her, and make her happy......"
It can be heard that Lin Xueqi's uncle really cares about Lin Xueqi out of sincerity, and when he heard that Zhao Yang was an orphan and seemed to have nothing, he didn't show any dislike, looked down on him, and so on.
"Uncle, I can understand!" Zhao Yang replied with a slight smile.
"Hmm!" Lin Xueqi's uncle saw that Zhao Yang's expression was calm and calm, and he didn't have the frizzy temperament of an ordinary young man. felt a little pampered and not surprised, and suddenly his evaluation of Zhao Yang was a little higher.
Although Zhao Yang's family situation may be very ordinary, or even very poor, Lin Xueqi's uncle doesn't care much about these, he still values character, temperament and whether he is really good to Lin Xueqi.
As for other material conditions. He doesn't care much, as long as people are motivated. Capable of. In the future, as long as Lin Xueqi's parents' family business is taken care of, they will naturally be able to make their 'little couple' live a worry-free life.
Lin Xueqi's family doesn't have much of the concept of having to be 'right at home', it depends more on Lin Xueqi's own wishes, as long as Lin Xueqi likes it.
Speaking of which, Lin Xueqi's parents themselves are also from the grassroots, and today's great family business has also been accumulated through the hard work of the husband and wife, so naturally there will not be many so-called 'gateway' views.
Lin Xueqi's aunt and uncle also have the same concept. So. Although he heard that Zhao Yang's situation might not be very good, he did not have any disgusted opinion.
Lin Xueqi sat on the side and watched Zhao Yang talk to his uncle, and saw that his uncle seemed to be very satisfied with Zhao Yang, and Zhao Yang had always behaved very decently. One of her hearts couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
She was a little worried before she came. After all, this can be regarded as a 'meeting with parents'. But now, everything is very good!
Zhao Yang chatted with Lin Xueqi's uncle for a while, and after a while, Lin Xueqi's aunt prepared a sumptuous family banquet and said to a few people: "Come, Xueqi, Xiao Yang, come here and prepare for dinner!" ”
After speaking, she smiled at Lin Xueqi and said, "Girl Xueqi, my aunt specially made your favorite omelette today, hurry up and try it!" ”
"Uh-huh, good drop! I know that my aunt is the best for me! Lin Xueqi got up and jumped up to her aunt, wrapped her hands around her aunt's neck affectionately, and gave her a big hug with a smile.
Lin Xueqi's aunt smiled, "You girl, how old you are, you still look like a child, and you're not afraid of people's jokes!" ”
"Hee-hee, he won't! Besides, people are the closest to their aunts! Lin Xueqi replied with a grin.
Lin Xueqi's uncle over there looked at it with a smile, and then greeted Zhao Yang next to him: "Come, Xiao Yang, let's go over and sit over there." Have a good taste of your aunt's handiwork, hehe! ”
Zhao Yang also responded with a smile: "Okay! ”
Then the whole family went to the table and sat down. At this time, Lin Xueqi's uncle held a bottle of Moutai in his hand and asked with a smile: "Xiao Yang, can you drink?" How about a couple of drinks with your uncle? ”
Without waiting for Zhao Yang to speak, Lin Xueqi had already smiled and preemptively said, "Uncle, today you can be regarded as having found someone to drink with you, Zhao Yang is very good at drinking!" ”
"Oh? Yes! Lin Xueqi's uncle glanced at Zhao Yang with some surprise, "Then Xiao Yang, you have to drink two more drinks with your uncle today." Uncle doesn't have anything else here, but there is no shortage of wine. Today, Xiao Yang, your first time here is uncle, you have to have fun! ”
When Zhao Yang heard this, he nodded with a smile, "Cheng!" ”
At that moment, Lin Xueqi's uncle opened the bottle of Moutai in his hand, and then filled the cup in front of Zhao Yang.
"Come, Xiao Yang, let's go first." Lin Xueqi's uncle picked up the wine glass and said to Zhao Yang.
"Good!" Zhao Yang answered, and also picked up the wine glass and touched it...... (To be continued......)
