123 Will you be willing?
At five o'clock in the morning, Chen Xu woke up as usual, and after changing into sportswear, he gently opened the door so as not to wake up the rest of the family.
As soon as the door opened, the mobile phone flashlight flickered, and I saw the same lightly touched parents.
"Why are you so early?" Chen Xu was surprised, he had heard them say before that they had gone to exercise in the mornings for the past two years, running or something. But I didn't expect it to be so early.
The old mother made a silent gesture and signaled not to disturb Chen Ziqi.
After the three of them went out the door, they went down the stairs together, and my mother said, "Now I go to exercise with your father every morning, and I feel much better." ”
Chen Xu was a little distressed and said, "Then you don't have to be so early, it's such a cold day, it's okay to go after six o'clock." ”
Mom said, "We're all used to it, and we can't sleep at this point." ”
Chen Xu was silent, when he came back this time, he obviously felt that his parents were older than before, the wrinkles on his face had increased, and there was occasionally a sense of sluggishness in his movements and demeanor.
He knew that in the past two years, in order to repay his debts, his parents had to worry and work hard, and they had aged faster than before.
Next year, they will be fifty, which is not too old in this day and age.
Be sure to pay off your debts as soon as possible so that they don't have to work so hard.
He thought silently in his heart.
Downstairs, the family of three walked towards the riverside park. In the early morning in the county town, there were no people on the road, and there were not even a few cars.
The three of them chatted while walking, mainly Chen Xu was chatting with his mother, and his father only said a word occasionally.
When they arrived at the riverside park, they went their own way.
At six o'clock, his parents went back first, leaving Chen Xu running by himself.
At seven o'clock, Chen Xu ran home, Chen Ziqi was still sleeping, and his parents were not at home. In the kitchen, there is freshly cooked porridge, and on the dining table, a vegetable cover with a diameter of nearly one meter is opened, and there is soy milk and fried dough sticks inside, as well as a bowl of salted crispy peanuts.
He went to take a shower and change his clothes. I filled a bowl of porridge and ate it with peanuts.
After breakfast, I saw my mother carrying vegetables into the door, stepped forward to help bring them over, put them in the kitchen, and asked, "Where's Dad?" ”
"I'm going to work." Mom gasped and said.
"How do you buy so many vegetables?" Chen Xu had already told them yesterday that they were going out today and that they didn't have to cook his meal.
The old mother said, "Ziqi's girl said that she wanted to eat some hometown food, and I thought about making more for her." ”
Yes, I didn't buy it for myself.
Chen Xu was speechless, but he was very happy that his mother was so close to Chen Ziqi.
…………
At eight o'clock, Chen Ziqi was still sleeping, Chen Xu wanted to wake her up, but her mother stopped her, saying that when she was growing up, it was rare to have a holiday, so let her sleep again.
Chen Xu shook his head and said, "She lives here for a month, I don't know what you will be used to." ”
Mom gave him a blank look, "Nonsense, Ziqi is so sensible, when you are as old as her, you can't compare with her." ”
“……”
Chen Xu closed his mouth very knowingly, and had to admire Chen Ziqi's ability to please the elders, no wonder he could eat her father to death.
At this time, his mobile phone rang, and when he picked it up, it was Yang Jinxia calling, and after connecting, he said, "Okay, I'll come down immediately." ”
After hanging up the phone, he said, "Mom, then I'm gone, and I won't be back at night." "I went to the room, picked up the bag that I had prepared a long time ago, and went downstairs.
"Be careful outside." My mother walked to the door and gave a special advice.
She went around to the balcony again, looked downstairs, and after a while, she saw her son appear, and walked to a white car, and then she saw a woman who got out of the car, although she couldn't see clearly, but felt quite young.
"Auntie, what are you looking at?"
The window next to the balcony opened, Chen Ziqi rubbed his eyes and asked, obviously just woke up, and saw the second aunt looking at the balcony, and out of curiosity, he opened the window and asked.
"Quick, you come out and have a look." Chen's mother beckoned to her.
Chen Ziqi put on his coat and ran out, leaning next to her to look down.
Chen's mother asked, "The woman driving that white car is your brother's friend, do you know her?" ”
"I don't know." Chen Ziqi naturally recognized that it was the woman's car yesterday, and still shook his head and said.
Mother Chen muttered, "I look quite young, I don't know what it has to do with your brother." ”
"Don't look, the car is gone." Chen Ziqi took her hand and asked, "Auntie, what are you eating today?" ”
Mother Chen was really diverted and said, "Today, I will make you stuffed tofu and button meat." ”
"Okay, I'm going to help." Chen Ziqi pulled her and went back to the living room.
………………
"I'm sorry for you this time."
Chen Xu got into the car and said to Yang Jinxia. Last night, he tried to find a ride-hailing service online, but no one took the order. In the end, I called her.
In fact, he has another choice, he can borrow from the uncle's family or the uncle's family, but compared with the third uncle, his relationship with the uncle and the uncle is more rusty. still chose Yang Jinxia.
"I haven't been here since I got here, so I'm just going out for a walk." Yang Jinxia said, starting the car, "Do we have anything interesting here?" ”
Chen Xu said, "There should be no famous attractions. Fun places...... Actually, I don't know each other, and when I was in school, I only cared about reading and didn't go out to play much. When I went to college, I came back once a year, and I didn't have time to go around. ”
"Have you lived here since you were a child?"
"No, before I was in elementary school, I lived at my grandmother's house in the country. When I went to school, I would go to my grandmother's house for a few days as long as it was a longer vacation. ”
"Then you can take me to your grandmother's house for a few days, I am so old and I haven't lived in the country yet, it must be very interesting."
"Aren't you afraid I'm a bad person? If I kidnap you, you won't have a place to cry. ”
"Are you willing?" Yang Jinxia turned his head and gave him a blank look.
Chen Xu's heart jumped, he turned his head, looked out the window, and changed the topic.
Along the way, the two chatted, and time seemed to pass very quickly.
Since they met, it was the first time Chen Xu had chatted with her in such an atmosphere, and he felt very relaxed.
In fact, I didn't talk about any nutritious content, that is, I talked about the interesting things I encountered in my work and life, and complained about my wonderful colleagues.
There is no need to deliberately accommodate and cater, sometimes, the topic of the talk is also the bull's head is not the horse's mouth, you say Zhang San, I say Li Si. But it didn't hinder the two from talking at all.
On the last stretch of the road, the two complained together, it was really narrow, crooked, and steep. Yang Jinxia drove cautiously, but the ten-kilometer road took half an hour.
During this period, Liu Xiaoshang made a few phone calls to urge, saying that he was about to leave to pick up the bride.
In the end, when Chen Xu and the two arrived at their destination, the convoy was lined up.
"Why are you here?" Liu Xiaoshang just came out of the house, he was wearing a particularly riotous red suit, complaining, and saw Yang Jinxia beside him, "You also brought your family - I'll go!" ”
When he saw Yang Jinxia's appearance, he was shocked.
Chen Xu then remembered that when he first met Yang Jinxia, he was having dinner with Liu Xiaoshang, and Liu Xiaoshang had also seen her.
However, it was more than two months ago, do you remember Yang Jinxia's appearance?
