Chapter 3 ◎ The marriage promise is fixed
In the evening, Hehuan drove Xue Chen back to the Xingzhou community.
Speaking of which, the two families are the front and back buildings, extremely close, the two of them grew up together, and the relationship between the parents is also very good, but unfortunately when Hehuan was eighteen years old, Hehuan's parents took her to a self-driving trip, and encountered a car accident halfway, which ended tragically, only Hehuan survived in the intensive care unit, and gradually recovered after a year, and now she is the only one living alone in the empty house, every night, Xue Chen takes Hehuan to his own house to eat.
The kitchen window on the first floor of Building 3 is still warm yellow, especially warm and quiet under the dark blue night sky, as soon as you enter the door, there is a fresh smell of fish permeating, Xue Chen's father Xue Sen looked at the daily newspaper on the sofa, saw the child come back, closed the newspaper and said with a smile: "Xiao Huan is back, today your Aunt Qiu boiled fish soup and boiled it for two hours." ”
Hehuan changed his slippers, hung up his bag and came in with a smile: "Uncle, you got off work quite early today, I'll go to the kitchen to see Aunt Qiu first." ”
Xue Sen nodded and smiled, watched Hehuan enter the kitchen, beckoned to Xue Chen, Xue Chen came over and sat on the sofa, and heard Xue Sen leaning over and whispering, "Hey, how about that Su Qilin?" Is it your opponent? ”
When Xue Chen heard this, he remembered what happened to get off work again, and his face was a little displeased: "The unicorn arm is real, but it doesn't look like a serious person." ”
Xue Sen glared at his son and whispered: "You have to go to graduate school, you said that when you graduated from Xiaohuan last year, you were busy in the store with her, maybe you will come back with a golden grandson next year......"
Xue Chen had a headache again when he heard this, whether he was his own son or not, he had never felt the warmth of love every time.
Although Xue Sen must have turned a deaf ear despite explaining many times, Xue Chen still habitually explained: "When Xiao Huan graduated last year, I was in my second year of graduate school, and I still couldn't drop out?" ”
Xue Sen seemed to have expected Xue Chen's explanation, picked up the newspaper to cover his face and muttered: "Don't listen, don't listen, can't hear." ”
It's getting more and more like a child.
Xue Chen was angry and funny.
At the other end of the kitchen, Hehuan smelled a richer fish fragrance as soon as he entered the kitchen, Ye Luoqiu, who had just turned off the fire, looked up and saw Hehuan, and suddenly smiled, pulled Hehuan and asked, "Did Xiaochen go to help today?" ”
"No, no," Hehuan hurriedly said, "business is good today." ”
Ye Luoqiu nodded with satisfaction after hearing this.
The milky white crucian carp and tofu soup in the pot, Hehuan helped to serve it out one by one, and called the two people on the sofa to start eating.
At the dinner table, Xue Sen and Ye Luoqiu tacitly bit their chopsticks, and Xue Chen glimpsed it, what are these two people thinking again......
Hehuan was still drinking soup, and he didn't pay attention to it, so he heard Xue Sen ask: "That, Xiao Huanna, you see that you and Xiaochen have been childhood sweethearts for more than 20 years, he has graduated from graduate school, and now you two are working together again, or ...... Want to put it on the agenda? ”
"Dad, isn't it a little salty for you to taste this?"
Xue Chen put a chopstick cold salad enoki mushroom in Xue Sen's bowl, and Ye Luoqiu continued: "Xiao Huan, do you think this year is a bit too hasty, do you want to know the year?" ”
"Mom, next year's Hehuan natal year," Xue Chen quickly clipped Ye Luoqiu with chopsticks and said, "Mom, you can taste it too, it's indeed a little salty." ”
…………
He Huan looked up at Ye Luoqiu and Xue Sen, and glanced at Xue Chen again, Xue Chen smiled quite awkwardly, and silently stretched out his chopsticks to clip some for He Huan: "Why don't you taste it too?" ”
For this topic that has not changed for thousands of years, Hehuan is like a mirror in his heart, the two parents were classmates in college, when Ye Luoqiu gave birth to a boy, he had already agreed with his mother that if her mother gave birth to a daughter, she would be a baby kiss, and for so many years, her relationship with Xue Chen has indeed been very good.
It's just that his parents died in a car accident four years ago, and Hehuan didn't want to do design professionally after graduation, so he simply opened a milk tea shop, and he was busy working for a year.
Just asked about this, Hehuan lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Then, the year after tomorrow." ”
Xue Sen clapped his hands excitedly after hearing this, and laughed with a wrinkled face, Ye Luoqiu also took a long breath and smiled: "The year after tomorrow, the year after tomorrow, then it's so decided, Xiaochen, take care of the matter of decorating the new house." ”
Xue Chen didn't expect Hehuan to respond so simply, he was stunned for a while, and then the joy hidden in his heart spread, involving his heartbeat accelerating, and for a moment it seemed that he had missed a beat.
She agreed......
He originally thought that she would hesitate, if he, the "deputy store manager", was also a serious profession, it was obvious that the wedding house prepared at home was not bought by him, and the only car he could afford was still occupied by his parents......
In fact, it's just a gimmick of a graduate student.
In this way, you can actually take away a daughter-in-law.
Unconsciously, Xue Chen watched Hehuan unconsciously raise the corners of his mouth, and fell in the eyes of Xue Sen and Ye Luoqiu, the smile was still like a child who didn't grow up, stupid.
After dinner, Hehuan wanted to help wash the dishes but was stopped by Ye Luoqiu again, pushed her out of the kitchen and shouted to Xue Chen: "Xiaochen, send Xiaohuan home early to rest." ”
The moon outside the window leans on the mountain, and some cicadas and frogs can be faintly heard in the pond behind the community, and after half a month, the lotus flowers should bloom, and you can smell the fragrance of the lotus flowers every time you go out.
It took at most a minute from Xue Chen's house to Hehuan's house, and he went up to the sixth floor, and when he saw Hehuan open the door, Xue Chen leaned against the door and instructed: "Go to bed early, you are not allowed to play with your mobile phone after the early morning." ”
He Huan looked at him with a smile and said: "I know, I know, every time I turn this sentence upside down, I don't know who hasn't slept at two or three o'clock at every turn, just to watch a ball game, and talk about me." ”
Xue Chen smiled dumbly: "Okay, then I'll go back." ”
Hehuan nodded, but seeing that he just stood up straight and did not leave, he opened his arms with some hesitation and murmured, "Then, I still want a hug." ”
Hehuan listened, hugged it full, looked up and smiled dotingly: "Okay." ”
Hehuan's height was just up to Xue Chen's jaw, Xue Chen's chin was gently pressed against Hehuan's soft hair, and suddenly he heard the sound of someone opening and closing the door in the corridor behind him, and glanced back at the cat's eye, but the corridor was empty, it seemed that the person at the door had just come home and closed the door.
"Your neighbor has moved in across the door?"
Xue Chen asked with some vigilance, the community is one ladder and two households, and the neighbor across the door from Hehuan's house has been empty because his son moved away in high school last year, but it's okay, but it's just a new move-in, Xue Chen is not at ease for a while, after all, Hehuan lives alone.
Hehuan didn't know much about the situation and said: "I moved in a few days ago, and there was the sound of moving furniture a few days ago, but I haven't seen people in and out, it should be a game house." ”
Xue Chen hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the summer solstice soon, why don't I come over and sleep with you, sleep on the sofa." ”
"Okay, it's really fine, there's no place for your long legs on the sofa, I'll call you if I have something."
Hehuan looked at Xue Chen, who was not at ease, that was not at ease, and did not feel helpless and funny, there was no way, Xue Chen had no choice but to nod and say, "Okay, I'll go, see you tomorrow." ”
Seeing Xue Chen away, Hehuan went back to the bedroom to change into pajamas, and fell on the bed, the moonlight seeped in in front of the window, illuminating the whole room in fog.
It's just that outside the door, Xue Chen looked at the opposite door hesitantly, he didn't know who moved in, and he didn't even tear off the property arrears bill on the door last month.
A few seconds later, the elevator opened with a "ding-" sound, Xue Chen entered the elevator and pressed the first floor, the elevator door slowly closed, and in the quiet six-story building, a pair of scarlet eyes hibernated behind the door mirror and opened quietly......
