Chapter 104: The Marriage Proposal
Under the bombardment of phone calls from our parents, we returned to our hometown as fast as we could.
The two brothers' cars blocked the front door, and Xue and I went around the back door. As soon as you enter the door, you can smell the smell of meat, and the kitchen is filled with smoke.
"The third is back?" My eldest brother put his arm around me, pointed to the rattling earthen stove, and said proudly: "The fish that I caught in the reservoir with your second brother today!" ”
I knew he was going to show off his accomplishments, and that's his way of doing it.
At the dinner table, the two sisters-in-law fed the children, and the brothers drank unscrupulously. After three rounds of drinking, my father faced me in front of the snow: "Third child, we discussed it, you are the most, and you have not started a family, so I will give you change." ……”
Xue and I were both surprised, and when we saw the numbers they had put together, our noses were even more sour.
"Look how much worse," my mom asked.
"Enough is enough!" Snow and I looked at each other, and we didn't know what was good.
"Buying a house is a big deal, and my family must support it." My eldest brother paused here and said:
"But you have to think clearly, is it really necessary to go to Huangshan to buy a house? You can take your father-in-law's family over! ”
Xue explained after a pause: "My parents want to guard the old house after they retire, and they buy a house there so that we can have a place to settle in the future." And now the housing prices in the provincial capital are too high......"
I was afraid that it would cause more suspicion in the snow, so my eldest brother naturally didn't say anything more.
Another family drank and ate peacefully, full of love, and sank with the silent night!
The lights are bright and the wine is fragrant. The summer insects are murmuring, and the nightingales are ...... moaning.
Second, as soon as the light was shining, my mother woke us all up and cooked a big pot of rice balls for us for breakfast.
Sometimes your hometown is like our revolutionary base, no matter if you are outside the scenery or down, forge ahead or sink, this is not only your anchor point, but also your homecoming! As soon as you get back here, everything you encounter outside seems to become irrelevant.
They drove away, facing the morning glow and morning dew, and the strong wind of the car swept through the proud artemisia grass and woke up the resting grass sparrows. The dragonflies burst into the morning light, and the seedlings rippled in the twilight wind......
"Your family style is very good!" Xia Xue leaned back in the passenger seat suddenly.
"Really? It's the first time I've heard someone say that about my family. ”
Xue nodded: "I used to hear that people couldn't find many brothers when looking for their in-laws." Large families tend to quarrel. ”
"Hehe, that also depends on the family. Our brothers are too independent to never count on the old man, so there is nothing to fight about. ”
I think that's the key. Think of those who love to quarrel and quarrel, they are narrow-minded people. Trivial, for fear that the old man will cheapen something good to others.
"Actually, there is another reason." I thought about it, and then said to Xue: "My brothers are much older than me, and they love me more." The sisters-in-law are all virtuous and ......"
"They look pretty good," the snow.
"Haha, the daughters-in-law who can enter our house are all virtuous." I looked at the snow: "You meet the criteria!" ”
Xue rolled her eyes at me: "Who is your daughter-in-law?" ”
"Well, I have to hold on tightly, I can't let such a good daughter-in-law run away."
Xia Xue's cheeks turned red, and she punched me and said, "Drive your car well!" ”
……
But I'm not just kidding. I think it's time to give her a real home.
At night, we called Luo Qian and Zhou Haoran to the food stalls we frequented. Summer is thick, there is an uproar outside the food stalls, and the smoke and dust are misty.
"Da Lu, where is your woman? Why didn't you follow? ”
Luo Qian looked behind me, made sure it was really just me, and looked at me in disbelief: "Lu Xia, you won't quarrel with her!" ”
"What words!" I glanced back at Luo Qian: "Xue and I are going to be a model couple, how can we quarrel!?" ”
Zhou Haoran brought lobster and boiled peanuts from the cook, and ordered two dozen cold beers.
As soon as he sat down, Zhou Haoran looked around and asked curiously, "Da Lu, where is your attendant?" Quarreled? ”
“……”
Luo Qian covered her mouth and giggled, pressed Zhou Haoran, and sighed: "Do you know Da Zhou? Sometimes I really feel like I'm a good couple with you! ”
Zhou Haoran was not tired of being crooked, and picked up the beer: "Hmm! It's too late to meet! ”
The two tacitly opened a beer to celebrate, and the bottle bumped.
I took the beer and swept my disgusted gaze over the two of them: "Humph! I know you have a treacherous invitation! ”
Pouring a sip of beer into her neck freely, Luo Qian wiped the wine line on her neck in a dashing manner and asked, "Let's do it!" What's the? ”
Zhou Haoran's hand peeling lobster paused, and looked at me in shock: "Yes! Da Lu won't invite the two of us to dinner for no reason, there must be something to tidy up! ”
"Look at you! Can't I just think of the same family? Just want to clink glasses with you? ”
Luo Qian shook her head in a sneer: "I believed it before, but now I don't believe it!" Especially today. ”
Zhou Haoran stuffed a mouthful of shrimp into his mouth and looked at me with beaded eyes: "Yes!" I didn't bring snow today, it's abnormal! ”
"Tsk~....... I suspect more and more that you two are committing adultery! sings and harmonizes, and the troupe doesn't have your tacit understanding. ”
Later, I told them what I thought, and the two of them were shocked and couldn't close their mouths, and asked in unison:
"What? Propose marriage!? ””
"Can your reaction be more exaggerated?"
I glanced at them angrily and explained, "I've been thinking about this since the last time I courted Huangshan. Marriage proposal is now imperative! ”
"Holy! Tried to play courtship, and played marriage proposal! ”
Luo Qian pretended to be in a trance and grabbed Zhou Haoran: "Da Zhou, let's hurry up and go home to divorce, and then follow Da Lu's set of procedures once." This is called: this life is not in vain! ”
"You two things aside, can you solve this problem with me first?"
I broke the two of them apart and said to them righteously: "As a member of the elite team of the sales department, I can't play without you!" Quickly sum up and give a plan! ”
"It's just you!" Zhou Haoran was a little cold, casually peeling the peanut shell: "When you were on the top of Yellow Mountain, what did you: 'Be my girlfriend', I thought of you at that time." It should be said: 'Be my wife!' Is there still such a thing? Waste of money! ”
Luo Qian corrected Zhou Haoran and said: "I saw that you didn't propose marriage, you should: 'Marry me!'" That's what it does on TV. ”
Zhou Haoran retorted: "You know it's staged on TV, and you still use it to raise the bar?" It's like your husband proposed to you back then. ”
"Hey~? How do you know my husband didn't propose back then? Did I propose to him? ”
"Right? So how do you know I didn't propose to my wife back then? …… I'm just like: 'Be my wife'! And then she really became my wife. ”
"Okay, okay! Your marital history aside, can you respect the center of tonight's topic? ”
I interrupted Errao's argument and guided them back to the main thread.
Luo Qian poured wine for her cup, stood up and poured it into my cup: "Actually, Da Zhou's is not wrong, it should have been taken at one time at that time." Now that he is proposing again, he is really burning money! ”
"At that time, I was afraid of frightening her by proposing marriage directly!"
At this point, I scratched my neck, and said with a little embarrassment: "There is another matter, that is, the financial problem you just ...... on."
I picked up my glass and toasted and smiled at them: "As you know, I'm still on leave without pay, and I'm shy. Even this meal ...... have to be paid for by you in advance. ”
