Chapter 44: The Sorrow of the "Single Dog".
"There's not such a big TV there!" Xia's mother cleaned up as she spoke.
Xia Zhuming looked at the big TV on the wall and nodded thoughtfully. It's a bit old, too, and they've bought it since they moved in here. It's been more than 10 years, and it's not even broken. The TV is big, and of course the living room has to be big, and it should be said that their homes are big. In the summer of that year, Dad bought two sets of more than 140 square meters in one go, and then opened them up and turned them into a set. Although their family is not a rich family, fortunately, Father Xia has a vision and bought such a big house when the house price was still more than 2,000. Dad Xia has more than that, such as choosing an object, it is said that he was also a beautiful man back then, and there were more people chasing him, but he still chose Xia's mother, a dance teacher who looked ordinary at the time. Father Xia has a short temper, but Mother Xia is as gentle as water, and she really overcomes rigidity with softness.
"It's coming for supper! It's time for supper! "Daddy Xia is carrying a tray with three bowls of noodles on it.
Xia Qingfeng hurriedly threw the phone aside, swallowed his saliva, and as soon as Xia's father put down the noodles, he quickly took away a bowl.
Xia Zhuming put aside the apples that had come to her mouth, and quickly took away a bowl.
"Teacher Xia, do you want to come some?" Father Xia looked at Mother Xia and asked softly. It seems that he is only so gentle with her. Since I met her, I have always called her Teacher Xia, she has changed from a teacher to a kindergarten principal and then to a housewife, and he still calls her Teacher Xia.
Mother Xia smiled and shook her head. She hardly eats the rest of the time except for supper when she was pregnant, and it is this high degree of self-discipline that allows her to maintain such a good posture.
"Here, eat some!" Father Xia smiled and invited warmly.
Xia's mother had no choice but to take a bite.
Xia Zhuming looked disgusted, "Can't you have one bowl per person, aren't you afraid of virus infection?" is a handful of years old, and still~" Maybe it was spicy, or maybe it was eaten too fast, in short, she couldn't stop coughing.
"Who's robbing you!" Father Xia was very disgusting, but his behavior was full of love, and he quickly poured her a glass of water.
"She's choked on your dog food!" Xia Qingfeng said coldly, in exchange for Xia Zhuming's beating.
The topic also began to change in an instant.
"As long as a single dog sees two people walking together, it is dog food, and you are still so stimulating to others!" Dad Xia didn't forget to join in the fun.
When Xia's mother heard this, she said angrily, "What are you talking nonsense! ”
"That's right, Xia Zhu!" Mother Xia smiled and asked, "I see that you go out quite a lot on weekends during this time, who do you go out with?" ”
Hearing this, Father Xia also stopped what he was doing and looked at Xia Zhuming motionlessly.
"Letty!" Xia Zhuming replied in a panic, and hurriedly stuffed a mouthful of noodles into his mouth to hide his panic.
"She's a liar!" Xia Qingfeng said while eating.
Xia Zhuming thought that he was going to tell the matter, and the frightened chopsticks fell on the table.
"Sister Letty rarely takes her turn to take weekends off, how can you hang out with her?"
"Is that with someone else?" Mother Xia's eyes suddenly brightened, full of anticipation.
Xia Zhuming didn't know how to answer, and looked at her mother in a daze.
"Everyone is in pairs, who has time to accompany her!" Xia Qingfeng's face did not change, "I said she went shopping by herself, do you believe it or not?" ”
"I believe it!" Dad Xia said, "Single dogs deserve to go shopping by themselves!" ”
"I don't believe it!" Mother Xia shook her head with a smile, and then looked at her daughter, as if encouraging and comforting.
"She really didn't go shopping alone!" Xia Qingfeng said, raising his head and looking at his sister slyly.
His words attracted everyone's attention.
Xia Zhuming glared at him viciously, "Speak well!" ”
"She's shopping with the other single dogs!" Xia Qingfeng deliberately spoke very slowly, as if he wanted to attract attention, and of course, he did it.
"Is it a man?"
Father Xia and Mother Xia asked in unison, there were stars in their eyes, shining brightly, but when they heard Xia Qingfeng's next words, they quickly dimmed.
"It's a woman!"
"Girl!" Mother Xia muttered to herself, a little disappointed in her tone, "Why don't you follow a man?" ”
"Otherwise," Xia's mother suddenly became interested again, "Mom asked your aunt to introduce you again, okay?" ”
"Don't, don't!" Xia Zhuming waved her hand again and again, "I don't like the ones introduced by my aunt very much!" Of course, others don't like themselves, Xia Zhuming said in her heart, the most important thing is that she is now a person who has a boyfriend, because she didn't tell her family, he can be angry, so if she goes on a blind date in order to hide people's eyes, I'm afraid it will be over.
"Two days ago, she told me that there is a son of her college classmate who is an instructor in our armed police force, in his early 30s, do you want to think about it?" Xia's mother said.
Hearing the word "troops", Xia Zhuming was very happy, thinking that they had changed their views and were about to tell themselves and Xue Haitong about their affairs.
But Dad Xia snatched the words away first, "Definitely not!" I'd rather her marry someone who plows the fields here than marry someone from the army!" ”
Xia Zhuming's heart chuckled, and her expression froze, and the mouthful of noodles in her mouth was not swallowed, nor was she spit.
"What's wrong with a soldier, the three views are correct, the thinking is pure, and the behavior is still controlled by the state, which is not very good!" Xia Qingfeng said.
"You know what!" Father Xia pushed aside the noodles he had eaten, took a sip of water, and then slowly said again, "The holidays are unstable, the work is dangerous, and you can't see each other in a year, what's the difference between marrying a soldier and now?" You didn't see the granddaughter of Lao Li Tou in the next building, didn't she marry a soldier, when you didn't have a child, you didn't feel anything, after having a child, you can't help anything, you have to work again, and you have to take care of the family! Lao Litou's granddaughter is depressed, and now! ”
"People are stationed here, where can't we see them once a year?"
Hearing Xia Qingfeng's words, Xia Zhuming nodded violently, it was rare that he would be on his side, and his heart was full of gratitude to him, although he didn't know that he was on her side.
"Then he can't be transferred in the future?" Father Xia said, "We are a small place, if he wants to be promoted, he must be transferred!" ”
"Then why do you have to be promoted? Can't go up if you don't go up? Xia Zhuming asked cautiously.
"In the army, content with the status quo and doing nothing? If he had such thoughts, he would not have stayed in the army in his early years! ”
Although Xia Zhuming didn't want to admit it, what she said was really reasonable.
Looking at the remaining half of the noodles in front of me, I suddenly felt very full.
