23. Cover (is it good to collect it?) )
In the end, the result of the negotiation between Xia Zhi and Pan Rui was to give in to each other, and Xia Zhi would let Xiao Yiqing accompany her to see Pan Rui to take graduation photos, and she would leave without much contact with his family. Of course, the premise is that Xiao Yiqing's consent can be obtained.
Xiao Yiqing is willing to accompany her, mainly because she is also idle.
The next morning, Xia Zhi and Xiao Yiqing arrived in front of the administration building at the same time, and the graduates of the computer department had already gathered to take a group photo.
Xia Zhi recognized Pan Rui in the crowd, he saw them first and walked over.
"That's okay! It's still quite handsome in a bachelor's robe. Xiao Yiqing praised.
"Thank you." Pan Rui said with a smile.
"Where's your family?" Xia Zhi smiled shallowly, she was sure that they were looking at Pan Rui somewhere, in the end, she still cared about this first meeting, and didn't want to leave a bad impression in the hearts of Pan Rui's family.
"Over there." Pan Rui turned sideways, letting their eyes lead to the bottom of a tree he was blocking.
It happened to be Saturday, and Pan Rui's family came over, his parents, his younger brother Pan Yi, who just took the college entrance examination yesterday, and his younger sister Pan Lei, who was in the second year of junior high school this year.
Xia Zhi paid special attention to Pan Rui's parents.
Pan's father is thin and lean, with a deep vertical fold on each cheek, a very honest old farmer's image, and it can be seen that Pan Rui's appearance is more inherited from his father.
Pan's mother looked much younger than He Yan, with a round body, standing on her figure-eight feet, and she was saying something to the two children around her with a smile on her face, and both children looked impatient.
"Would you like to say hello?" Pan Rui asked.
As soon as Xia Zhi wanted to say no, Xiao Yiqing said, "Yes!" ”
Xia Zhi hurriedly bumped her elbow, Xiao Yiqing frowned and said, "What's this, if you don't go to be more suspicious, don't you have me to cover up?" You're going to have to let me do something! ”
Xia Zhi sighed, seeing Pan Rui's eyes full of longing, he still nodded.
She and Xiao Yiqing held hands and followed Pan Rui to the family.
"Dad, Mom, my classmates in the Chinese Department, this is the summer solstice, this is Xiao Yiqing." Pan Rui introduced the two to their parents in turn.
"Hello uncle and aunt." Xia Zhi felt a little wooden, but he didn't know what to say.
Xiao Yiqing was still active, she asked with a smile: "Uncle and aunt, you have been in the car for a long time today, right?" ”
Pan's mother smiled enthusiastically and said, "It's been a long time! After sitting for more than two hours, my waist was straight. ”
"Would you like to come over and play for a few more days?" Xiao Yiqing asked again.
Pan's mother's voice was as loud as a gong: "No! I'll go back in the afternoon, his sister is going back to school tomorrow, and the exam is coming soon! ”
Xiao Yiqing turned her head to look at Xia Zhi, she blinked her eyes and motioned for Xia Zhi to say something, Xia Zhi really didn't know what to say, so she had to say, "Uncle and aunt, I'll take pictures of you." ”
The camera was given to Pan Rui after she uploaded the photos to the computer last night, and she deliberately deleted all the photos inside, for fear that Pan Rui's parents would see it.
She took the camera from Pan Rui's hand, selected a few backgrounds for Pan Rui's family and took photos, she and Xiao Yiqing also took photos with Pan Rui respectively, returned the camera to Pan Rui, and hurriedly pulled Xiao Yiqing to say goodbye.
After walking out of a distance, Xiao Yiqing glanced back and confirmed that she couldn't see Pan Rui's family anymore, so she slapped Xia Zhi's hand away: "Do you need to be so nervous?" It hurt my hand. ”
Xia Zhi said, "I'm afraid his family won't like me......"
Xiao Yiqing slapped her face: "Who can like you like you?" Like a quail. ”
"Really?" The summer solstice is full of unease.
Xiao Yiqing couldn't be angry: "It's good that you're just like usual, do you understand Murphy's law?" Don't worry about it, you won't be afraid of anything. ”
Xia Solstice is like a deflated ball: "Then what now?" ”
"Hurry back and tell his family that you are his real girlfriend." Xiao Yiqing raised her chin backwards.
"Silly? I'm not going. Xia Zhi wouldn't understand that Xiao Yiqing was making fun of her.
"Sister, how old are you, you are the mother of three children in ancient times, you fall in love and play underground, do you think you are a movie star? Did any fans abandon you after your romance was exposed? Will it cause hundreds of millions of economic losses? Xiao Yiqing complained ruthlessly.
"Well, you don't understand." Xia Solstice sighed irritably.
"Why don't I understand, don't you dislike people who haven't found a job yet."
"Where do I dislike him? I'm going to dislike him, why don't I break up. Xia Zhi hates Xiao Yiqing's point-to-point, she thinks that she is not disgusted, but she does hope that both of them can develop their careers first.
Xiao Yiqing also felt that she had gone too far, she flattened her mouth and said, "I know you don't dislike it." However, Liang Lu is right about one thing, love without an economic foundation will be very difficult. ”
"It's not long-lasting. He just didn't get a job yet. There are so many college students, and one recruitment can kill three. Everyone has a hard time. Isn't it too early? It is better to bully the white-bearded man than to bully the poor youth. Xia Zhi comforted herself like this, and she did believe it.
"That's it!" Xiao Yiqing hugged her shoulders hard, "The road is tortuous, the future is bright, and hope is always tomorrow, right?" ”
Xia Zhi smiled, it's good to have such a roommate, and I'm even happier that they will all stay in Nanzhou, although the place where the two go to work is some distance, but it's still very convenient to get together on weekends by chance.
Pan Rui called Xia Zhi in the evening and asked her to come down for dinner. He sent his family to take a bus at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, and there was no through train to Wugu Town, so they had to go to Dahe County and then transfer trains, and there was no bus to the town at the county station after eight o'clock in the evening.
When she saw him, she couldn't help but ask his family what they thought of her, and according to Xiao Yiqing, she felt that she had behaved too badly.
Pan Rui said with a smile: "I asked my parents, how were those two girls in the morning?" If you like it, I'll chase it back and be your daughter-in-law. My mother said that the girl named Xiao Yiqing was good, beautiful, generous and polite. ”
Xia Solstice made a face, does this man have brains? Don't you know if it's taboo to joke about your own woman's best friend?
She said with a calm face: "Then you go after it, hurry up." ”
Pan Rui took her hand, broke her fingers one by one and clasped them tightly: "But I told my mother that I prefer that silly girl named Xia Zhi." ”
Xia Zhi was surprised: "You really said that? ”
"Yes! Why are you lying to you? He looked serious, and it didn't look like a lie.
"And what did your mother say?"
"My mother thought about it and said, it's okay, I'm stupid and I'm not afraid to run away when I marry back, I can have a few more babies, and I'm afraid that I'll run away if I'm not honest if I'm beautiful."
Before Xia Zhi raised his hand to hit him, Pan Rui had already laughed and ran away.
"Pan Rui, you stand for me!"
