Chapter 72: Proposal
"Sister, are you going to Grandpa Xia's house today?" The panther knocked on my office door and said.
"Today..... Go. He looked at his watch and said.
"Can you take me with you?" Keep asking.
"Yes, Xiaowen asked you to go?" Asked rhetorically.
"Well, she wants to meet and talk to me, and text chat can't cultivate feelings." Said truthfully.
"Yes! Are you growing so fast?" Said with a smile.
"I think she must like me, otherwise she wouldn't have made another appointment." Said helplessly.
"Isn't this a good thing, hurry up and take her down, do you want my sister to help you." After speaking, he showed a wicked smile.
"No, I can do it myself." waved his hand and refused.
"That's okay, when I'm done here, I'll go and ask you to go back to Grandpa Xia's house together." Nodding his head.
"Why don't I wait for you here, I don't have anything to do over there." After that, he came in and sat on the couch and waited for me.
After listening to the panther, he lowered his head and continued to work, and sure enough, as I had guessed before, the panther would definitely agree. When I was done with my work, I drove into the house with the panther. Who knew that Xiaowen and her parents had already arrived, Xiaowen heard a sound in the yard and ran out and hugged the panther. Everyone present was stunned by her, they didn't expect her to be so proactive.
"I didn't expect Xiaowen to be so active, can the panther stand it?" Qiu Chen walked up to me and said.
"I don't know, it depends on what the panther means." Shook his head and said.
Xiaowen saw that everyone was looking at her, so she hurriedly let go of the black panther and whispered, "I'm sorry, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss you a lot, so I took the initiative to hug you." You won't mind!"
"I won't mind, I'm afraid others will." whispered.
The two of them couldn't help but snicker, "You two are smirking at something, and you haven't entered the house yet." Seeing that the two were laughing, Aunt Jingting spoke.
Xiaowen took the panther directly to the back garden, ignoring us at all, although Xiaowen is twenty-five years old, but when facing the panther, she will still be a little shy, and her face will still be red.
I naturally don't take the jokes between the two people to heart, and when I saw that they were chatting happily, I asked Aunt Jingting, "Aunt Jingting, I see that the two of them have a good chat, have you ever thought about when you will get married?"
"I've thought about it, I want her to get married within a year, and it's not good to delay it later." Said truthfully.
"It's good in a year, let's end it quickly!" Nodding his head.
"When the time comes, I can design my daughter's wedding dress myself, and you don't know that I designed it myself from the moment she was born, and she is reluctant to wear it." Said with a happy expression.
"Xiaowen is happy to have a mother like you, and I believe she will be happier in the future." Said with a smile.
"When they come in later, I'll measure my son-in-law's figure so I can make a suit myself." As he spoke, he took out a measuring tape.
"Do you always have a measuring tape with you?" Said with some surprise.
"Yes! occupation
Get used to it, you can't lose it. He nodded and said.
"So you're a designer, no wonder the clothes you design are so good-looking." He suddenly said.
"Everywhere, it's all exaggerating me, I'm not as good as they say." Said modestly.
"Then I have a wedding with my daughter-in-law, can I ask you to help us design a wedding dress?" Qiu Chen asked.
"Of course you can, it's free." Nodding his head.
"Then we're here to thank you in advance." Said happily.
"It's okay, you've done our family a great favor, and designing clothes is trivial." Said thankfully.
After chatting a lot for a while, it was already dark in a blink of an eye, dinner had been ready, and seeing that the two children had already entered the house, Xiaowen suddenly felt that the atmosphere in the house was a little wrong, until she saw the measuring tape in her mother's hand, she understood, it turned out that she wanted to make clothes for the black panther, so she coughed lightly and signaled her mother not to do this, it was easy to scare the black panther.
But the mother didn't listen to her daughter's words, pulled the panther to the side and finished measuring the size, wrote down the number and put the measuring tape away, but she didn't expect that his figure was about the same as her daughter.
"Mom, I know what you do when you measure his size, but there are still some days left to get married, so don't be too anxious to do it and be tired." Walked up to his mother and whispered a few words.
"Got it." Smiled and responded.
"What can be happy like this?" Qiu Chen reached out and touched Xiaowen's head and said.
"Don't tell you, guess for yourself." He said with a grin.
"Xiaowen, I see you are so happy, could it be ...... You've fallen in love with the Panther, right? Mother couldn't help but say.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" It was very embarrassing to face this kind of question from her mother, and she frowned and said.
"Actually, I think the panther is a pretty good person, don't play your bull temper and make people angry." Instructed.
"Mom, I know, I definitely won't." Say yes.
Seeing that the girl hadn't spoken, she wanted to urge, but when she saw the black panther, she didn't say anything, so she could only slowly open her mouth to guide. And the black panther didn't know what Aunt Jingting was thinking, she just silently lowered her head and thought about her own affairs, and served Xiaowen vegetables from time to time, without noticing the surrounding situation at all.
"Panther, I ask you, do you like my daughter? If you like her, I can be her master and let you get married as soon as possible. Aunt Jingting asked anxiously.
"I ......" hesitated for a long time and didn't say it.
I was sitting next to me in a hurry, so I kicked him and motioned for him to hurry up.
"I like it, I like it." I was urging to say it.
"That's good, we can set the wedding date in advance." Said happily.
"Mom, why do you want to force him to answer that he likes it, we've only known each other for less than half a month, and we don't know the situation yet." Xiaowen said very dissatisfied when she heard this.
"You kid, aren't we doing it for your good, why are you still angry?" explained.
"I can feel whether he likes me or not, you can't force him." Hurriedly said.
"Okay, okay, you
That's right, I'm not forcing it, just let it be!" Nodding in agreement.
"Don't be nervous, what my mother said is to tease you, don't take it to heart, I won't force you." As he spoke, he soothed the panther's emotions.
"It's okay, Auntie is also worried that you won't be able to get married, so that's why she did this." explained.
"You see, the panther still understands me." He said with his hands outstretched.
"In short, no one can force him to do what he doesn't want to do." She said it with a stern tone.
"Okay, we don't do it." Xiaowen's parents nodded in agreement.
"Let's not talk about this matter, let's hurry up and eat, or the food will be cold." Qiu Chen hurriedly said, breaking this somewhat uncomfortable environment.
"Mom, Dad, you eat more, I just had a bad attitude, don't be angry." After speaking, he sandwiched the dishes for his parents.
"You eat too, I was in a hurry just now, I'm sorry, girl." Aunt Jingting said.
"It's okay, I also know that you are worried about my life's events, and I am also worried about myself, but it is useless to be in a hurry if fate is not enough, and some things can only be taken for granted." Said truthfully.
"Well, we also understand, we won't rush you anymore." He nodded in acknowledgement as he spoke.
After dinner, the two of them talked a lot, the time had pointed to more than nine o'clock, the panther personally sent Xiaowen and her parents home, and when they arrived at the door, they were still reluctant, Xiaowen plucked up the courage to kiss the panther on the face, and said goodnight. The black panther reached out and rubbed his face, unconsciously showing a smile on his face, he was happy to stay with the person he liked. When he slept, the panther was woken up laughing, and I rarely saw him like this.
The next day, Xiaowen brought her parents over early to help, and today's black panther also got up early, and by the time they arrived, they had already ground a small half bucket of beans.
"Xiaowen, do you want to eat tofu brain this morning?" He asked expectantly.
"If you want to eat, will you make tofu brain? Is it easy?" Nodding his head.
"It's simple, you can taste it first when I make it for you, and if it's delicious, I'll make it for you later." Say yes.
"Really?" Said in disbelief.
"Of course it's true, I'm never lying." Nodding his head.
"That's great, I used to buy ready-made tofu brains, and it wasn't delicious at all." Said happily.
"That's that he doesn't do it well, so it's not delicious, and you'll fall in love with what I made after you eat the tofu brain I made." Said with a smile.
"Is there anything I need to do now?" He asked.
"No, I've already done it, and I'll wait to pour the juice when the tofu brain is ready." Shaking his head, he said.
Now the beans are almost ground, and my grandfather bought a total of 200 pieces of tofu, enough to eat for several days.
"Breakfast is ready, everyone washes their hands and eats first, and I'll go out to collect some soybeans and come back later." Said as he greeted everyone.
Xiaowen ran over first after washing her hands, looked at the finished tofu brain, couldn't help but take a small spoonful to taste, and said excitedly, "It's delicious, it's much better than the tofu brain sold outside." ”
"Delicious
Well, I'll just say you'll love the tofu brains I make. Said with a smile.
"I'm already in love, I'll eat the tofu brain you made in the future." Said with a smile.
"Sister, breakfast is ready, you can eat it when grandpa comes over." Speak.
"Thank you for your hard work, get up so early to grind tofu." Said when he saw the tofu brain.
"It's not hard, making breakfast for everyone is the happiest thing for me." Shaking his head, he said.
"What did you have for breakfast today?" Grandpa came over and asked.
"There are tofu brains, fried dough sticks, eggs, and steamed buns." In detail.
"It's quite hearty, I'll try the tofu brain first." As he spoke, he sat down and took a spoonful of tofu brain.
"Grandpa, how's it going? How's the panther doing?" He asked.
"Yes, it's delicious, it's much better than the tofu brains sold outside." Nodding his head.
"Why are you up so late today? Did you play with your phone again last night? Seeing Qiu Chen said with a sigh.
"Well, I originally wanted to go to bed early, but I didn't expect to be able to stop when I watched it, and I finished watching the finale." Rubbing his eyes, he said.
"You deserve it, why don't you go to bed early, you see your eyes are red, put on some eye drops for a while to relieve it." Didn't say him angrily.
"Okay, you can give it to me in a moment." Hold me as you talk.
"Okay, then eat breakfast now, and tell me what you want to eat." Helped him up and put him in his seat.
"Tofu brain, fritters are fine." Tilting his head and saying.
"I've put it in front of you, hurry up and eat it, it's not delicious when it's cold." After saying that, he began to urge him.
"Don't rub your eyes with your hands, your hands are not clean." Grandpa hurriedly said.
"I don't want to rub it, but my eyes hurt and I can't open them." Said anxiously.
"Then don't eat it yet, you come with me, I'll show you." Dragged him to the couch in the living room, let him lie on my lap, and took out eye drops and dropped them in his eyes.
"It's cool, it's comfortable." Speak.
"Mint's eye drops, don't watch TV series at night in the future, if you look at your eyes again, you'll be blind, if you're blind, I won't care about you." Instructed.
"I know, not anymore." Nodding his head.
"Hurry up and eat breakfast after you can open your eyes, now you're left alone." With that, he put a cushion under his head.
By the time he came over for dinner, everyone was almost gone, and he was left alone.
"Why are you all gone? Is there no one to accompany me?" He asked.
"Isn't it still here? Everyone else is busy with their own business after eating, and of course there will be no one to accompany you. Said truthfully.
"Don't say that the panther actually has this skill, Xiaowen will be happy in the future." Said while eating tofu brain.
"There's a lot more to him, and you'll find out slowly." Said as he wiped the table.
"Then should I learn from him how to make tofu brain, and I'll make it for you when I learn it." He asked.
"If you want to learn, you can worship a teacher, I believe that he is willing, and he is sincere when he worships
Point, don't be a child, it's unstable. He instructed.
"Although you can rest assured of this, you must study hard and will not give up halfway." Say yes.
"Then you wait for him to come back, and you go and ask him, what does he mean?" Said as he washed the dishes.
"Good. Don't wash it, I'll do it! This is not what you women are supposed to do, what you should do now is to shop and put on makeup and appear in front of me. "As he spoke, he wiped my hands clean.
"I've washed half of it, and I'm done in no time." Hurry up and say.
"What about half of it? In the end, I'll wrap it up. As he spoke, he continued to wash the dishes.
When he finished washing the dishes, the panther also came back, nodded him and motioned him to look up, and as soon as he looked up and saw the panther coming back, he immediately rushed out, helping him, and he was not idle for a moment. The whole panther looked confused, but fortunately I reminded him that Qiu Chen wanted to worship you as a teacher, and the panther wanted to understand why Qiu Chen was so active when he saw him, it turned out to be purposeful.
