My father is from Changdong County, and although he has moved to Nanting a long time ago, his family is still in Changdong. Every Spring Festival, our family of three always has to go back to our hometown in Changdong County for the New Year, and the closest person there is now an uncle of mine, as well as an aunt and a few cousins and cousins. However, the surname Zhai is a big surname in the local area, usually there are many relatives in the village, everyone always likes to take turns to set up a banquet during the New Year's holidays, eat your family today, eat mine tomorrow, every time it is twenty or thirty people to eat together, quite lively.

Because our family doesn't live in the village permanently, we used to eat with my uncle's family. Dad is a very face-saving person, and he thinks it's ugly to come back every Spring Festival to eat and drink for nothing, so this year Dad insisted on doing it himself. But although he is happy, he is a person who never goes to the kitchen, and usually relies on my mother to serve him. I couldn't see my mother working alone, so I offered to help with the cooking, and my father rushed him to greet the guests.

Anyway, I've been studying the chef profession for a year and a half, so it's no problem to stir-fry a few home-cooked dishes and buy two tables of banquets. In addition, I am not young, and I have come out of society, and I have gradually understood the difficulty of being a parent, so I want to take this opportunity to show myself. At first, I said that I would help with the cooking, but in the end, I became my head chef, and my mother helped me.

My mother was amazed at my skillful cooking skills, and stared blankly for a while, with a happy smile on her face. Later, I also saw her quietly wiping her tears while washing vegetables. Alas, what are you crying about? Your son is older, and it's time to become sensible!

When the food and drinks are served, my father beckons the guests to open the table. The uncles and brothers with the same surname in the village all came, and they crowded two tables lively, and there was a small circle outside. Everyone ate my fried food, and they all praised my father with a smile, saying that his son was good at his workmanship, and the fried dishes looked like they were sold in a big hotel. My dad felt a special face today, with a smile on his face, and his mouth never closed, as if this was his credit, thanks to him for giving birth to a son like me!

After I finished cleaning up the things in the kitchen, my father called me over to accompany me for a drink. I don't resist wine now, and I drink it occasionally, but I don't dare to drink more, after all, chefs still have to protect the taste buds on the tongue, otherwise they won't be able to grasp the salty taste of stir-frying.

After three rounds of drinking, a cousin asked, "How old is Xiaosheng this year?" ”

I said, "Just turned twenty." ”

"So big, huh? Have you found a partner? ”

I was quite shy to be asked this kind of question in front of so many people, so I kept my mouth shut and refused to answer.

The cousin thought I didn't have a girlfriend yet, so he went to my dad and said, "Oh, there aren't many twenty-year-old boys in our village who aren't married!" You parents have to hurry up, Lao Zhai's family still has to spread its branches! ”

"No hurry, no hurry! He's still in school! Hehe" Dad replied casually.

"What's not the hurry? Anyway, you have to find him a partner, right? The cousin was very enthusiastic, and said to me: "Xiaosheng, do you want me to introduce you to one?" I know a family surnamed Xie in the next village, their daughter should be about the same age as you, and now she is working as a kindergarten teacher in Changdong County, the conditions are not bad, and she is handsome, I think it is very suitable for you! ”

"No need! No more! I already have a girlfriend! I quickly shook my hand and replied.

"Got a girlfriend? Didn't you say that just now? ”

"Oops, he's still thin-skinned!" At this time, my father finally opened his mouth to help me out, and said, "He already talked about a girlfriend when he was in high school, and he brought it back home!" ”

"Oh, that's it! What about the girl's house? ”

At this time, my mother also accosted: "It's good! Pretty good! Hehe! ”

Dad said again: "The other party's conditions are better than ours, that girl has a good character, and her studies are better than him, and she is now studying in college." Anyway, we both liked it when we saw it! I'm afraid that he won't be motivated and won't be able to catch others! ”

"Alas, Dad! What nonsense? When I heard this, I couldn't help but complain.

"That's a good feeling!" Another uncle interjected, "There are not many girls who can be admitted to college now, if your family Xiaosheng can get such a daughter-in-law, it will be a blessing from the previous life!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes! We're so envious! A cousin who is not a few years older than me but has already married also joked, "My wife didn't even graduate from junior high school, and when she went out to work, everyone thought she was stupid!" ”

"Alas, my mother-in-law can't even write her own name!"

"Hehe, Brother Xiaosheng, isn't your girlfriend beautiful? Show us the photos! ”

I suddenly had a black line on my head, and I quickly got up and said, "Oops! Do not say! Do not say! You talk slowly, I'll go wash the dishes! ”

"Hahahaha!"

Amid the laughter, I quickly escaped from the dining table and ran out into the courtyard to hide. Actually, although I was annoyed by the words, I just didn't want to be a topic of conversation for everyone, but after listening to their praise of Han Jie, I was still very happy. Thinking of this, I couldn't help but take out my mobile phone to send WeChat to Han Jie, and she also went back to her hometown for the New Year.

"Why?"

Han Jie seemed to be quite bored over there, and quickly replied to my message: "I was pulled by my mother to accompany me to eat melon seeds and accompany ...... door."

"Hah! I'm pretty much the same, surrounded by a bunch of relatives asking this and that. ”

"What did they ask you?"

"Ask me when I'm going to get married!" With a sweaty expression on the back.

"How did you answer?" Behind it is a smile covering his mouth.

"Wait until you graduate!"

"Cut!"

"They talked about you just now!"

"What did you say about me?"

"Say you're smart!"

"That's for sure!" Plus a smug expression.

"They all envy me!"

"You're naked, please eat!" Drooling expressions.

I looked at my phone and smirked twice, and then on a whim, I sent a few more words to Han Jie.

"Hey!"

"What?"

"When will you agree to marry me? When the time comes, I'll cook for you every day! ”

"Are you planning to propose to me through WeChat? Do you think I'll say yes? ”

"Then will I propose in person when I go back to the provincial capital? Bring flowers and rings! ”

"Cut! Then you have to be mentally prepared first, I don't necessarily say 'yes'! ”

"How's that going to happen?"

"And bring the house and the car."

"Damn, when did you become so realistic?"

"Hehe, I just want to make it a little more difficult for you, otherwise you will think that marrying a wife is too easy!"

"I'm too hard, I'm ......"

While I was chatting with Han Jie, my heart was beautiful. Although she was deliberately teasing me and did not give me an affirmative answer, she had already revealed her true thoughts between the lines.

House? Car?

As long as she's willing to agree to marry me, none of this is anything!
