Chapter 141: Stay
"Xiaoqing, come! How about trying this braised pork rib made by my aunt? ”
Xiao's mother at the dinner table diligently sandwiched the dishes for Zhang Ruoqing, and after a while, her bowl was almost top-notch.
"That's it! Mom, you put so many things on Ruoqing, can she finish it? Seeing Zhang Ruoqing's gaze for help at him, Xiao Ran had to come out to stop it at this time, and said to his mother helplessly.
"Okay, Xiaoqing, then you can eat first, see if Auntie's craftsmanship is to your taste." Xiao Mu probably realized that she seemed to be a little too enthusiastic at this time, so she smiled a little embarrassedly.
"Thank you, Auntie, the dishes you cook are very delicious." Zhang Ruoqing smiled.
In fact, according to her original eating habits, she is not very good at eating these greasy foods, but there is no way, after all, this is also in the heart of her aunt, and the so-called elders dare not resign.
"That's good, anyway, your school is not far from here, let Xiao Ran bring you to the house more in the future, whatever you want to eat, Auntie will do it for you."
It is said that the mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at it, the more pleasing it is to the eye. But Xiao's mother was more happy the more she looked at Zhang Ruoqing, she didn't even move her chopsticks, her eyes kept staring at Zhang Ruoqing, but the smile in her eyes couldn't be hidden.
"Hmm..."Zhang Ruoqing replied softly when she heard this.
Completely contrary to the previous nervousness, the current Zhang Ruoqing can be said to be a little flattered, looking at the extremely enthusiastic Xiao Ran's parents, her original tense mood has gradually relaxed.
She really enjoyed the feeling of sitting and eating together as a family, but because of work, Zhang Ruoqing's father rarely had time to sit with her and enjoy a quiet dinner like this, and her mother passed away before Zhang Ruoqing could remember..... If my mother is still here, I guess I will be as kind as my aunt to pick up vegetables for myself, right?
Thinking of this, Zhang Ruoqing hurriedly lowered her head, let the tears in her eyes roll in her eyes, and then drip down her face into the rice bowl.
"Ruoqing, what's wrong with you?!" Xiao Ran was the first to notice that something was wrong with Zhang Ruoqing, so he hurriedly put down his chopsticks and asked worriedly.
"No... It's nothing. Zhang Ruoqing tried her best to suppress her voice, but she couldn't hold back her tears, so she had to bow her head and answer. She didn't want to make it so unpleasant to see Xiao Ran's parents this time, but emotions were something she couldn't control at all.
"Xiaoqing, what's going on? Is there something wrong with my aunt? Xiao's mother was also a little anxious at this time, and hurriedly stood up when she saw this.
"No, no!" When Zhang Ruoqing heard this, she couldn't care about the tears on her cheeks anymore, and she raised her little face and explained with some loss. "I... I just think of my mom, when I was very young, she... She's gone. ”
After that, he couldn't help it anymore, and the big tears fell down his eyes, and this pitiful appearance couldn't help but make Xiao Ran's heart tighten for a while. If it weren't for his parents beside him, he would have stepped forward and hugged the beautiful woman tightly.
"Kid, stop crying!" Seeing this, Xiao's mother hurriedly walked over and took Zhang Ruoqing's head in her arms and comforted her. "Anyway, you're also with our family Xiaoran, you can take your aunt as your mother in the future, it's okay, don't cry....."
Xiao's mother was originally a very sympathetic person, and she liked Zhang Ruoqing very much in her heart, so she had some tears in her eyes as she spoke.
Maybe Xiao's mother's comfort played a role, or maybe it was just a sudden feeling of feeling! After a while, Zhang Ruoqing stopped her tears, and then said with a little blush. "Uncle and aunt, I'm sorry!"
At this moment, Zhang Ruoqing regretted how much she regretted it, why was she so useless, and a good dinner banquet was destroyed by herself.
"Silly boy, why are you talking these outrageous things?" Xiao's mother took a tissue and carefully wiped away some of Zhang Ruoqing's remaining tears, and then pulled her to sit on the sofa, not knowing what she was talking about.
"Xiao Ran, you must be kind to other girls in the future, do you hear?" This happened, and Father Xiao obviously didn't have the mood to eat, and looked at Xiao Ran with some seriousness. Then he sighed. "This is a good boy!"
"Well, don't worry, Dad, I'll definitely treat her well!" Xiao Ran said firmly.
"That's good!" Father Xiao nodded. "Don't worry, your mother will definitely enlighten her."
Xiao Ran was not good at comforting people, so he had to sit at the dinner table and nod his head. Not to mention how much he regretted it in his heart at the moment, he had been in contact with Zhang Ruoqing for so long, and he didn't know the situation in her family at all, and he didn't expect that the quiet beauty in Pingsuli would have such an unbearable past.
Although he was still more worried, he had to admire his mother's enlightenment, although he was far away and didn't hear what the two of them said on the sofa clearly, Zhang Ruoqing's mood was obviously much more stable, and she glanced at Xiao Ran with a crimson face from time to time.
"Xiao Ran, can you tell me about your future plans?" After a moment of silence, Father Xiao asked. "In my experience, this girl's family conditions may not be ordinary......"
Even if Father Xiao hadn't seen anything else, judging from Zhang Ruoqing's temperament and habits that were inadvertently revealed, it was definitely not something that an ordinary family could cultivate.
"Dad, I still want to play professionally... After all, it was my dream, and I didn't lie to you last night, someone invited me to join, if you and your mom are really worried, I can take you to the club at the end of the year, it will definitely not be as you think. Xiao Ran said this, then looked in Zhang Ruoqing's direction, and said, "As for Ruoqing's side, she actually doesn't mind this!" ”
Xiao Ran naturally understands his father's worries, although he is not as particular about the right family as in ancient times, but family conditions are still the basis of marriage, and he has no other skills at all, entering the professional league at this stage is not only about his dream, but also the only way for Xiao Ran to get ahead in the future.
"Hmmm! You're not young now, and you don't blame Dad for a lot of things, now that you've figured it out, let's follow your own path.... But you have to understand one thing, this path is your own choice, whether it is good or bad in the future, you can't regret it, understand? Father Xiao said these words rarely.
In fact, after a conversation last night, Xiao's father's obstruction gradually faded, the child is older after all, even if he does feel that playing games is a bit unprofessional, but after so many years, he has said what he should have said, and scolded what he should scold, and now his son is still doing his own thing, and Xiao's father is also out of luck, so he can only let it go, I hope that Xiao Ran's choice is the right path!
"Thank you Dad, I understand!" Xiao Ran nodded, and a big stone pressed in his heart finally landed.
"As for Xiaoqing's family, it's up to you to work your own...."Father Xiao sighed. It's also to blame Dad for being useless and failing to create a good condition for you! ”
"Don't say that, Dad!" Xiao Ran hurriedly shook his head. "I don't think there's anything wrong with my family, don't worry! I will work hard in the future, and I will definitely make Ruoqing's family accept me. ”
"Okay!" Father Xiao smiled. "It's enough for you to have this heart."

"Mom, you see it's late today, I'll send Ruoqing back to school first!" Xiao Ran looked at the sky outside, and it was already more than 9 o'clock in the evening.
I don't know what my mother and Zhang Ruoqing are talking about, anyway, Zhang Ruoqing has already faded away from her previous sadness, and has been sitting on the sofa talking and laughing with her mother.
"What school do you go back to?" Mother Xiao glared at her stupid son a little unhappily. He immediately turned his head and smiled at Zhang Ruoqing. "Xiaoqing, don't leave today, just sleep at home, Auntie still has a lot to talk to you about!"
"Ah~!"
Zhang Ruoqing's pretty face suddenly seemed to be burned by fire, and it turned crimson. Some stammered. "Ahh Auntie, isn't that good? I'm still... I'll go back to school first, and I'll have classes tomorrow. ”
"What does it matter? Anyway, your school is only a few minutes away from here, so I'll get up tomorrow and let Xiao Ran send you off." Xiao Mu said, and immediately patted Zhang Ruoqing's little hand. That's it, I'm going to clean up the guest room first! ”
After that, it didn't matter whether Zhang Ruoqing agreed or not, she just got up and happily cleaned up, leaving Xiao Ran and Zhang Ruoqing staring at each other with big eyes.
"Why don't you say it?" Zhang Ruoqing walked up to Xiao Ran and complained softly. If you don't go home at night today, Liu Xinxin's little girl will know, and tomorrow she may not make much fun of herself.
But fortunately, there is a guest room, if the aunt lets herself sleep in the same room with Xiao Ran... Zhang Ruoqing didn't know what to do!
Xiao Ran shrugged his shoulders a little helplessly when he heard this, what could he say? If he really insists on sending Zhang Ruoqing back to school, will he still be able to have a good life after returning home? That must not be scolded by my mother. What's more, he also hoped that Zhang Ruoqing would stay at his home, so he didn't have the heart to stop it at all.
