Chapter 24: Meet the Parents

For the sake of face, I ended up going back to the ward.

Although tomorrow's events are important to me, I can't get my twenty-one-year-old self into the habit of borrowing money.

At first, you don't think it's anything, but when the amount of money borrowed gets bigger and bigger, it's not good for you at all.

Looking at Liu Xue, who was still motionless, I was anxious from the bottom of my heart, but there was no way, in case after I left, if she had something at night, it would be my responsibility in the end.

Thinking of this, I sighed helplessly, asked the nurse for a quilt and lay on the ground.

When I woke up the next day and found that Liu Xue on the bed was gone, I panicked, and when my panicked head was about to stand up and ask the nurse, I found that Liu Xue walked in with fried dough sticks and soy milk.

"You're awake."

I suddenly stopped, I didn't expect Liu Xue to go buy breakfast early in the morning.

"Yesterday, thank you so much, the nurse has already told me, if it weren't for you, I would definitely be more serious than this."

Saying that, Liu Xue lay on the bed and asked me to eat, and said that the medical expenses would be given to me another day, because she didn't have that much money on her now.

It's okay not to mention the medical expenses, but this mention makes me even more helpless.

Immediately afterwards, my mobile phone rang one after another, and when I picked it up, I saw that it was Chen Nan calling.

That's when I suddenly sounded, and I was going home with her today.

Looking at Liu Xue lying on the bed with a pale face, I didn't know how to speak, after all, she was uncomfortable just now to help me buy breakfast.

But in the end, Liu Xue seemed to guess something, so she asked me to go if I had something to do, and then gave me my contact information.

Due to time constraints, I simply washed up and ran out of the hospital.

Half an hour later, when I met with Chen Nan, she looked at me with disgust.

"Didn't I ask you to buy a few clothes, get a hairstyle, and dress yourself up, why did you come here like this?"

I really can't say anything, I can't say that I have no money in front of Chen Nan, so I can only be silent.

"Hao Shuai, you must know that today you followed me home to see my parents, you are like this, you have to make me feel that you don't pay attention to this matter."

"I ......"

I tried to say something, but I swallowed it again, because I knew that no matter how much I said at this time, it would be useless.

In this way, Chen Nan and I have been in a stalemate, and after a while, she dragged me to a nearby ** store and asked the waiter to find clothes for me.

She probably knew what I was thinking, so I didn't have to worry, and she bought the dress for me.

I don't know why, it was a small thing, but now I feel very shameless.

As her boyfriend, he said he would buy it for me while he was wearing a dress now, which made it seem that the relationship between the two of us was a little rusty.

But then I thought about it, maybe I thought too much.

After buying clothes, I bought some gifts with the few dollars I had, and then got on the bus back to her house with Chen Nan.

Chen Nan's house is a small county under Zhengzhong City, and it only takes three or four hours to take the expressway.

We set off in the morning and arrived at the county seat at 11 o'clock at noon.

I heard Chen Nan say that this county was actually a village in the past, but a few years ago, because of the construction of a new countryside, the village began to be demolished and reconstructed, and then each family was divided into a three-bedroom house.

The first time I went back with my girlfriend, I was inevitably a little nervous, afraid that Chen Nan's parents wouldn't like me later, and what if I did something wrong or said something wrong?

I wanted to talk to Chen Nan about her mood at this time, but she didn't seem to pay attention to this matter because she had been playing with her mobile phone.

I didn't say anything, I followed her to the door of her house, knocked on the door, someone inside responded, and in less than ten seconds, the door opened.

Then a tall, thin woman who looked to be in her fifties appeared in front of me.

Presumably this is Chen Nan's mother.

Mother Chen didn't seem so happy, first glanced at Chen Nan, then at me, turned around and walked into the house.

Chen Nan and I walked in, and then observed the house, which gave me the feeling that it was too small.

The three-bedroom apartment sounded okay, but when I saw the piles of miscellaneous goods and some scraps from the factory garment yard, it surprised me.

At noon, the family sat down to eat together, and I saw Chen Nan's father.

This is a middle-aged man in his fifties, but his face is yellow, skinny, and he often belches from time to time, and the whole person looks very uncomfortable.

A thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy sitting on the side, wearing short-sighted glasses, kept playing with his mobile phone in his hand.

"Xiaodong, it's time to eat, stop playing."

Chen Nan yelled at her brother, but Chen Dong didn't care at all.

"I told you to stop playing, did you hear that?"

In desperation, Chen Nan stood up and snatched the phone.

"What are you doing, it's annoying or not, Mom, look at her, I don't play often."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about it, eat."

Chen Dong reluctantly sat down, and then ate lunch in embarrassment.

Maybe Chen Nan told her parents everything about me and her, and Chen's mother looked at me from time to time during the meal, which made me feel like I was on pins and needles.

For some reason, from the moment I entered the door, I felt very awkward all over my body.

"Hao Shuai, what's you doing at home?"

Suddenly, Chen's mother asked me while sandwiching the food for Chen Dong.

I was stunned and said, "I, my father is a worker, and my mother found some odd jobs in the county town. ”

After saying a word, Chen's mother just nodded, pulled a bite of food into her mouth and asked, "Then you are the only child in your family?" ”

"I have a younger sister." Again, I answered truthfully.

Mother Chen's face was a little ugly, and I knew that this matter was over.

Immediately afterwards, she didn't ask anything, but she was talking to herself: "We, if we get married, the bride price is 120,000 yuan, plus the house and car, since the relationship between the two of you has been for three years, it must be solid, I plan to let our Nan Nan get married within two years, the house is forgotten, but the 120,000 bride price and a car of more than 100,000 yuan, that is a must." ”

I froze in place, mixed feelings.

"Chen Nan, your father's treatment cost for the next quarter will be about 10,000 yuan less, do you have any spare money, get some for your mother in a while."

Chen Nan hummed, put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand, and glanced at me with the corner of his eye.

At this moment, I felt like a rat crossing the street, and I didn't know where to go.
