Chapter 63: A Small Victory
It is not difficult to know from the words that Dad Xia is already surrendering, after all, in terms of numbers, he has lost, and the facts are in front of him, even if he is worried and opposed, if he insists, he is afraid that he will hurt the relationship between father and daughter, and the gains will outweigh the losses.
Obviously, this time, Xia Zhuming was the winning party, and she was already ready for a long-term struggle, and even the desperate words of "severing the father-daughter relationship" jumped in her mind a few times. Now, after only half a day, things have improved, which is a bit unexpected for her, and as soon as she is happy, she gets a little carried away.
"It's just that I think I have a talent for cooking, but I don't have the opportunity to practice!" Xia Zhuming said, her eyes looked at Xia's father intentionally or unintentionally, carefully observed his expression, and saw that he didn't react, so she slowly walked to the sofa and sat down next to Xia's mother.
"It's almost winter vacation, mom gives you a chance to practice!" Mother Xia looked at Xia Zhuming dotingly and said with a smile. "I'd like to be your guinea pig!"
"Hmm!" Xia Zhuming nodded obediently.
"Mom kept you and taught you well!" Xia's mother looked at Xia Zhuming, reached out and touched her head, and exclaimed, "Whether or not you can cook is a trivial matter, our Xia Zhu, with such a good personality and kind people, must be very pleasing to the soldier's younger brother, and his parents will definitely like you!" ”
Hearing this, Father Xia didn't think so, only to see him stand up on the sofa, glanced at them with disdain, and said, "Originally, I didn't want to hit you, I opposed you, and it was for your good, but you didn't appreciate it." Hum! Do you think that if I agree, you will be able to get married? You know how to cook, and people don't need you. What's more, now that you are old and can't cook, people want to marry a wife, and you are not a bodhisattva, is it good to be kind? ”
It was originally a hurtful word, but Xia Zhuming didn't feel hit, she felt that as long as they didn't object, other problems were not a problem.
"Dad's words, although they are ugly, they are very reasonable!" Xia Qingfeng didn't forget to mend the knife, "Although, I've only seen the back of that buddy, judging from my sister's stupid appearance, he must be good-looking." Besides, the status of a soldier has no market in my dad's place, and it is popular in others. So," he said, looked at Xia's mother who was listening carefully, looked at his father again, and then said seriously, "You don't need to object at all, when they get along for a long time, that buddy will naturally find out my sister's true face of Lushan, not very good-looking, old, can't cook, and has a bad temper, when the time comes, you will post a bunch of dowry, and people may not be willing to marry!" Therefore, you had better marry her quickly, so as not to have too many dreams at night! , otherwise, she may not be able to get married! ”
finally got one with the same position as himself, which should have been happy, but Father Xia was furious when he heard this, pointing at Xia Qingfeng and scolding, "You lack morality, what nonsense are you talking about?" Although he opposes Xia Zhuming marrying a soldier, his daughter is said to be useless, and she will still be angry. Of course, say it yourself, that's another matter.
Xia Qing was so frightened that his mobile phone almost dropped, and the person who should have agreed with his words the most was the first to jump out and accuse him.
"How can your sister talk so badly as you say, talking nonsense!" Mother Xia also reproached softly.
Xia Zhuming originally wanted to crusade against Xia Qingfeng, but seeing that the two authorities in the family were on her side, she didn't need to make any more moves, and she should have been angry, but at this time she showed a smug smile.
"Don't play according to the routine at all!" Looking at the "hatred" of himself one by one, Xia Qingfeng suddenly shrugged helplessly, without saying a word, got up from the sofa and walked back to the room. After a while, he came out with a school bag on his back.
"Where are you going?"
The three said almost in unison.
"Class!" Xia Qing replied without looking back.
"It's only five o'clock, what's the class? Don't have to eat dinner anymore? Mother Xia changed her expression again and asked gently.
"Full!"
"What have you eaten and you're full?" Father Xia, who had just entered the kitchen, also poked his head out and asked curiously, "What did you eat in the room?" ”
Xia Qingfeng put on his shoes, raised his head, pointed to the ceiling with his finger, and went out.
"What do you mean?" Dad Xia still didn't understand.
Mother Xia shrugged her shoulders and said she didn't know.
"He's by you!" Xia Zhuming grabbed potato chips in one hand and played with her mobile phone in the other, and replied casually.
"Shh Father Xia seemed to be very disdainful, "It's really strange, people who study hard are still so angry that they can't eat, and those who cause trouble to the old people eat and drink as if nothing happened!" ”
Although he knew that he was "scolding" himself again, Xia Zhuming was not affected at all, and the potato chips were still eaten one after another. Those who have won the battle should be more tolerant and no longer careful, she thought in her heart.
When it was time for dinner, the atmosphere was still eerie. But things are finally going in a good direction. Although he was still a little reluctant, after Xia's mother said so much, and even Xia Qingfeng said that, Xia's father finally compromised.
"I'm full!" Xia Zhuming took a few bites of food and got up to leave.
"Stop!" Father Xia shouted.
Thinking that she was going to criticize her for wasting food as before, even Xia's mother cast a reproachful look.
"How can you eat so little?" Xia's mother said that even if it is a reproach, it is gentle.
Xia Zhuming reluctantly returned to her seat, stubbornly headed, and continued to pull the bowl of rice in her hand.
"That," Father Xia said suddenly, "Tell him to come to the house for a meal when he is free!" ”
"Who?" Xia Zhuming didn't react for a while, and looked at her father blankly.
Mother Xia heard it as soon as she heard it and said, "Wow, wow!" ”
"I'm not telling you!" Father Xia glared at Mother Xia, who looked happy, and wanted to laugh, but tried to hold on, then looked at his daughter and said, "If you don't know, forget it!" ”
"Who are you going to call for food?" Xia Zhuming also asked her mother stupidly.
This time, Xia's mother couldn't help but roll her eyes, "Your boyfriend!" ”
"I," Xia Zhuming's eyes suddenly lit up when she heard the word in a trance, "Really?" "You have to know what that means, in their small place, girls go to boys' houses as friends, but when girls bring boys home, it means that they have to get married.
"Love doesn't come!" Father Xia still had a face that didn't have much warmth, but his tone was much gentler.
"Come, must come!" Xia Zhuming was overjoyed, looking at the originally annoying white rice in front of him, he instantly had a desire, "He must come!" ”
