Chapter 2: The Urging to Marry That Can't Be Escaped
When I came home in the afternoon, I saw a man lying on the sofa as soon as I entered the door! The man's eyes were closed and his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was having some terrible dream.
Peng Zixi walked over and patted the man's slender legs: "Second brother, second brother?" ”
Peng Ziyang slowly opened his eyes. Then he raised his hand and rubbed his temples: "You're back." ”
Peng Zixi didn't speak, and Peng Ziyang didn't speak again. The two siblings sat quietly on the sofa in a daze.
Liu Minhua walked out of the kitchen and saw this scene. She smiled slightly: "Zixi came back so early. The meal is almost ready, go and ask your eldest brother to come down for dinner. ”
Peng Zixi didn't react, Peng Ziyang reluctantly stood up and went upstairs.
Before Peng Zihong came down, Peng Jianjun came in through the door.
"Dad." Peng Zixi stood up.
"Hey, baby is back, look what Daddy has brought back for you. Dangdangdang. Peng Jianjun raised the roast duck in his hand and looked at his little baby with a look of praise.
"Thank you, Dad!" Peng Zixi's face didn't change much, and she still said in a light tone.
Peng's father was a little discouraged, but he was relieved to think that his daughter had been like this since she was a child. Carrying the roast duck, he happily followed his wife into the kitchen.
In the absence of any festivals, the brothers and sisters of the Peng family can hardly get together, the eldest Peng Zihong is the leader of the medical field, everything he says is authoritative, and he can imagine how busy he is at work; The second eldest Peng Ziyang is a major general in the army, and he usually trains in the army; Needless to say, the third Peng Zixi is the youngest entrepreneur in China, worth more than 10 billion at the age of 23. One of the three brothers and sisters of the Peng family is a doctor, one is in politics, and the other is in business! Peng's father and Peng's mother have long since retired, and they play mahjong and chat about gossip every day. The neighbors are envious, but only Peng's father and Peng's mother know how difficult it is to see their children.
During the meal, Peng's father sat in the main seat, with Peng's mother on the left and the three brothers and sisters of the Peng family on the right.
"That's... A few of you, think about who will bring someone back first! Peng Jianjun opened his mouth cautiously but majestically.
Peng Zihong immediately turned his head and glanced at Peng Ziyang. The dish that Peng Ziyang just put into his mouth almost squirted out: "Dad, I'm still young!" Peng's father knew that he couldn't persuade his two sons, so he cast his eyes on the third child.
Peng Zixi swallowed the rice lightly: "Don't look at me, no." ”
Liu Minhua gently tugged at the corner of Peng Jianjun's clothes and signaled him not to continue to ask.
Peng Jianjun shook his head and didn't speak again.
After eating, Peng Zihong rushed to the hospital without stopping, and Peng Ziyang didn't stay long! Peng Zixi had no work arrangement, so she simply stayed.
Of course, the price of staying and rubbing rice can't escape, and I have to accompany my mother to the vegetable market!
The market was especially lively this afternoon! As soon as Peng Zixi entered, there were a lot of eyes that were cast here intentionally or unintentionally! It's not that Peng Zixi is so charming, but because the vegetable market is usually the home of the uncle and aunt, and everyone will be curious about a little girl today, and the stall aunt who has a single young man at home has already begun to shout!
Peng Zixi walked slowly behind her mother! Liu Minhua stopped at a stall selling braised meat, the boss was a man who looked like he was in his early thirties, tall and thin, Peng Zixi was a little surprised at first sight, most men of this age are men with beer belly, this boss is not like other men at all.
The boss saw the mother and daughter on the opposite side stop and hurriedly stopped the movements in his hand, stared at Peng Zixi for a few seconds and turned his head to Liu Minhua's side, Peng's mother naturally saw the boss's burning gaze looking at her daughter, and quietly pulled Peng Zixi behind her!
Peng Zixi hid behind Liu Minhua super cooperatively.
"Boss, how do you buy these braised pig ears?" Before Liu Minhua could speak, a fat woman walked in front of him.
"45 one!" The boss looked up at the fat woman.
"Get me two, the peppers are packed separately, don't put them together!" As she spoke, the woman turned her head to meet Liu Minhua's gaze!
"Hey, Minhua? It's really you, and you're here at this time! The fat woman saw Liu Minhua and excitedly took her hand!
Liu Minhua also took the fat woman's hand with her backhand: "Yes, Mingjing, I have heard that you moved here a long time ago, and I haven't met you yet!" ”
"Hey, don't mention it, my family just came, I don't know the way, I don't want to come out, my son taught him to read the map, he said that the map is small, he can't tell the difference! I haven't been out for so long, how can I meet it! Mo Mingjing smiled!
"Yes, it's normal to be unfamiliar when you first arrived here, you can take him out for a walk when you have time, and don't leave him an inch, by the way, we haven't been together for a long time, you call Brother Ruan and Jinrui to come to my house for dinner, it just so happens that my daughter is also at home, don't you want to see her!" After Liu Minhua finished speaking, he pulled Peng Zixi out from behind him.
"This, this is the sunset, hey, I haven't seen it in twenty years, I've become a big girl, obediently, it's so fast!" Mo Mingjing said with emotion.
"Isn't it, they've all grown up, Jinrui is also 25, right, have a family?" Liu Minhua followed Mo Mingjing's words and said.
Mo Mingjing took the braised pork handed over by the boss, and the three of them walked forward side by side: "Alas, there were, and I left, and now I have a three-year-old daughter..."
Seeing that she didn't continue, Liu Minhua didn't ask again!
"Oh yes, does Xixi have a partner?" Mo Mingjing suddenly asked Peng Zixi.
Peng Zixi shook her head expressionlessly.
"It's time to find a partner at this age, it's not important to get married, it's okay to get married in twenty or thirty, but if you want to get married, you have to have a partner!"
Peng Zixi didn't speak, and Liu Minhua shook his head at Mo Mingjing!
