Chapter 69: Bad Arrangement
A few weeks passed quickly, and it was another Friday, and in the evening I received a letter from Big Waist, saying that my godson got the longevity lock I gave him and couldn't put it down, and he had just played with a few people for a while, and went to sleep after eating and holding things.
I was sincerely happy for him when I hung up the letter, but I didn't expect to enjoy the blessings of Qi people so early. To be honest, I'm a little envious, maybe my mother also wants to be a grandmother sooner.
The next day, I was fine at home on vacation, and I was a little dazzled after reading a book for a day. In the afternoon, my mother came back from my grandparents and told me to go out shopping together.
In the past, I must have refused this kind of thing, first, there was nothing to buy, and second, the speed of her shopping was indeed slow enough. But now that she's older, and although she's not sick, it's always good to help her carry something. So I changed my clothes and shoes and followed her out the door.
We didn't go to the market I thought we were going to, but to a mall where she said she was going to buy me clothes.
As soon as I calculated that it was not far from the Chinese New Year, I asked her: "Mom, I'm so old, I don't need to buy new clothes for the New Year, right?"
"How can you do that, if you want to buy it, you have to buy it."
"I've made money this year, so you can pick two pieces and I'll buy them for you."
She shook her head: "Don't worry, I can buy it whenever I want, you young people's clothes should be picked as soon as possible, otherwise the good-looking ones will be picked away."
I knew that she was delaying the army, but she didn't want me to spend money, so I didn't say more, followed her around the men's clothing area, and finally picked out a winter dress after several fittings, she looked satisfied and said: "Not bad, very energetic."
When I finished the bill, she stuffed her old clothes into the box, and I asked her, "What are you doing with those things?"
"I'll go back today in this new outfit."
"Ahem, don't you keep this for the New Year, don't get dirty, you give me those, I'll change it."
She waved her hand: "It doesn't matter, I'll go back and wash it for you when it's dirty, you can wear it."
She made me baffled, I was a child and a new New Year's dress was changed at the beginning of the year, why did I make an exception this year? But since she said so, I didn't ask any more: "Nacheng, then you give me the box, it's weird to be tired." As I spoke, I took those from her hand.
After shopping for clothes and seeing that it was time for dinner, we were ready to go home.
At the entrance of the mall, there was a Western-style fast food, and when I was passing by, my mother suddenly grabbed me and asked, "Why don't we eat this tonight, and don't go back to get it."
I looked at her and pointed to Western-style fast food and asked her, "This thing is all fried chicken bread or something, can you get used to it?"
"It's been a long time, I haven't eaten it yet, so let's go in and try it." With that, she dragged me into the Western-style fast food.
I think today's things are very abnormal, one is not to let me wear old clothes, and the other is to pull me to eat Western-style fast food, you know, it is normal for children to pull their mothers to eat Western-style fast food, and mothers pull their children in, I'm afraid it's rare. I'm not stupid, I already have a premonition that something is wrong, there must be something, but she is my mother, so she won't hurt me, so I don't have to worry too much.
Sure enough, after entering the door, after not walking a few steps, the whole plan was revealed, and my mother "coincidentally" met her colleagues, and I could tell at a glance that they were pretending, because there was a person sitting next to her, and the age was her colleague's daughter, which was about the same age as me. What could happen in the world? I'm afraid this is a trick to me to come on a blind date.
Sure enough, we sat down at a large table, and I was thrown across from the girl. After some introduction, she is really the daughter of this aunt, one year younger than me, and she has just graduated from school and returned to work this year. I said in my heart that it goes without saying, there is no doubt that it is a blind date.
Although the girl on the other side is not ugly, especially the two big eyes are smart, she looks quite quiet at present, but she is not annoying. But I still don't have that in my mind.
I pretended to tell them, "You guys sit down first, I'll go get some food."
Just as I was about to get up, my mother rushed up before me: "I'm going to buy it, I haven't eaten here, I'm going to pick it myself, you sit and accompany your aunt first." After saying that, I went to the counter.
I said in my heart that it was really my own, and this little action in my heart was noticed? But she went, and I was too rude in the past, so I had to sit where I was.
The scene was very embarrassing, I didn't speak, and the girl couldn't speak, so she sat like this for a while, and the aunt spoke: "Xiao Zhou, my mother and I have been colleagues for many years, and we all know each other, my daughter heard that you are studying Jinshi, and I am particularly interested, so I want to see ......" Before she finished speaking, the girl next to her pulled her clothes embarrassedly, looking embarrassed.
It's not surprising to me that there are not only one or two people who are interested in Jinshi these years, but there are only a handful of outsiders who are not disappointed after really understanding it.
"I've heard my mom talk about you a lot, but I've been busy elsewhere and haven't had a chance to meet, but today I finally met a real person."
She smiled with satisfaction, but it made me even more embarrassed, and I didn't know what to say after the polite words.
At this time, the aunt pushed the girl and said, "You usually like to ask me what your brother Zhou usually does at home, why don't you ask now?"
I don't know if it's true or not, but it sounds like a fake, I've never seen this girl before, why would she ask these things?
However, unexpectedly, the girl was really embarrassed to speak up and asked, "Zhou ...... Brother Zhou, do you usually go to Jinshi? Isn't it all about digging graves to find treasures, isn't it particularly exciting? Speaking of this, her crimson face was still a little excited.
Okay, there's an extra sister today? And she is also a "silly sister". However, this is not surprising, most of the time, people's understanding of gold and stone is like this, because what is shown on TV, published in newspapers, and even circulated on the Internet, are all major discoveries, and major discoveries are mostly ancient tombs. And other more routine, complicated, hard and meticulous work has been buried behind the scenes.
I smiled awkwardly but politely, and my mind raced through how to answer the question, and I said, "It's not like this every day, but it's true that I've dug up a lot of ancient tombs."
She seemed to be in a hurry, and continued to ask, "What did you find in that?"
"Well, I ......" I really don't know what to say when she asks me like this, this is different from talking to classmates who have a foundation in gold and stone, and it is not the same as talking about brothers who are used to bragging, how to grasp the scale, it is indeed a problem.
But then my savior appeared, and my mother came up to us with a plate of things, and asked the girl with a smile, "Look, do you like to eat these things that Auntie ordered?"
As soon as she put her things down, I took a burger and stuffed it into my mouth, because I was really hungry, and second, my mouth was blocked, so I didn't have to make up stories, right?
My mother looked at me and couldn't laugh or cry: "In front of others, why are you so unfazed?"
I swallowed a mouthful and said, "I'm sorry, I'm really hungry, you can eat too, while it's hot, while it's hot." I'll keep eating.
But the aunt smiled and said to my mother: "Look at you, take your son out to go shopping, and the child is hungry, come to Xiao Zhou, drink some drinks, don't choke." As he spoke, he handed me a glass of Coke.
I nodded my head in thanks, and took the things, usually I eat very quickly, but today it looks fast, but in fact I chew slowly, keep something in my mouth, I can talk less, and drag it until the end of this embarrassing "coincidence" is my victory.
Unexpectedly, there were more ruthless tricks waiting for me, I found a pair of eyes from the two mothers, and I knew that something was wrong, so my aunt spoke: "You two eat slowly here, let's go and see the New Year's clothes and make a reference to each other."
After saying that, the two of them got up and left, yes, now there are only me and the girl left, and this is to let us chat by ourselves.
But at first, we were embarrassed to speak, after all, other girls are also very shy. But it was boring to sit like this all the time, so I simply started telling her the story I had re-arranged. She was fascinated by the listening, and interjected from time to time to ask questions, making me feel like a professor at school.
Although I talk happily, I really want the two of them to come back as soon as possible, it's not that I hate this girl, if there is no "blind date" meaning, I am very willing to be friends with her, after all, there is only one person I can't let go of in my heart, she is, I can't like others, let alone marry.
Just when I was a little tired and drinking saliva, someone suddenly slapped me on the shoulder, I turned my head suddenly, and almost didn't fall into tears, the lifesaver came!
Xu Longzheng looked at me with a forced face, and said, "Okay, good boy, I said that you can't see people on weekends, it turns out that you are engaged in a partner!" Why have I never seen this girl, where did she bring it back? Tell me honestly, otherwise I'll let Su Guancha arrest you! ”
I looked at it, haha, Su Xiaodong was also beside him, and now he was saved. The two of them just filled in the vacant seat, so I explained, this is not my girlfriend, this is the daughter of my mother's colleague, and I happened to meet her today to accompany her and wait for a while.
At first, they didn't believe it, but the girl didn't seem to be as embarrassed and restrained as she was just now when she saw a lot of people, and she spoke generously, so they believed it.
After a while, the two parents came back and found that there were two more people in the seat, knowing that the bureau was gone. The aunt said a few polite words, and then took the girl home. My mother was going back, but I didn't go with her, but continued to talk with the two of them until ten o'clock.
When I came home and found that my mother was asleep, I breathed a sigh of relief, if it was someone else, I would definitely be angry if I was so bad, but forget it about my mother.
I gently packed up my new clothes and went back to sleep.
