Chapter Seventy-Two: Drinking and Spitting the Truth?

Seeing that Xia Qingfeng couldn't say anything, he could only take Xue Haitong to "open the knife", pointed at him and scolded with a smile, "Shameless!" ”

"If my brother-in-law wants face, he won't want you, haha!" Xia Qingfeng seized the opportunity to damage her, it seemed that his happiness came from her.

Hearing this, Xia Zhuming's face darkened, and he picked up the pillow, preparing for another violent beating, but was stopped by the screams from the kitchen.

"Stop playing, eat!" Xia's mother shouted in the kitchen.

Xia Zhuming had no choice but to give up and led Xue Haitong to the table. Usually, Father Xia sits in the main seat, the two sisters and brothers sit on one side, and Mother Xia sits on the other side. Habitually, Xia Qingfeng wanted to sit down next to Xia Zhuming, but was pinched by Xia Zhuming.

wanted to fight back, aiming at Xue Haitong on the side, he could only obediently walk to the other side, and found that it was just facing Xue Haitong, and the little emotions provoked by his sister disappeared in an instant, and soon changed to a sweet smile.

The dining table is not particularly large, but there are more than a dozen large and small plates!

"Prepared some light meals, I hope you don't dislike them!" Father Xia said as he sat down. Obviously, this was said to Xue Haitong.

Xue Haitong didn't know how to answer, just stared blankly at the colorful and fragrant lunch in front of him, the tableware was different from ordinary people's, the dish was even more extraordinary, the color matching, as well as those carvings, and even the furnishings, he was used to seeing the big pot of rice in the canteen, and he was looking at the one in front of him.

Seeing that he was motionless, Father Xia thought that the food was not to his liking, and asked nervously, "Is it unappetizing?" ”

Because he could see the gods, Xue Haitong didn't pay attention to listen, and he didn't react until Xia Zhuming bumped into him.

"Is the food unappetizing?" Mother Xia asked gently, for fear that being louder would scare people.

Xue Haitong felt his faux pas, smiled embarrassedly, and said, "No, no, I think it's too good-looking, too surprised!" ”

Hearing this answer, Father Xia's tense face immediately smiled.

Perhaps wanting to liven up the atmosphere, Xia Zhuming asked with a smile, "Is it good to look good with me?" ”

"Do you feel honored if your brother-in-law says you're better-looking?" Xia Qingfeng, who had already eaten, said casually, "Are you humble enough to compare with food and find a sense of existence?" ”

The two old men have long been accustomed to the bickering of the sisters and brothers, and they do not intend to stop it.

Xia Zhuming only felt very faceless, but she had no choice but to stare at him with wide eyes.

"You're good-looking, you're the best!" Xue Haitong whispered in her ear, "You look better than anyone else!" ”

This trick really worked, Xia Zhuming's face immediately showed a satisfied smile, and he took his eyes back from Xia Qingfeng.

"Xiaotong, you eat!" Xia's mother kept greeting, but she couldn't see him stop her chopsticks, and when she saw him stop, she either urged him to pick up vegetables, or she served vegetables for him.

Xue Haitong was embarrassed to refuse, and he didn't feel the need to refuse, because no matter what the dish was, he thought it was delicious. Originally, I wanted to be more reserved and control some food, but now it seems that control is impossible, just don't exaggerate too much.

"How's it going, let's get used to eating!" Father Xia, who hadn't spoken for a long time, asked, "I heard that you are from Jiangsu, will you not be used to it?" ”

Xue Haitong still had food in his mouth, so he could only shake his head desperately.

"Just get used to it!" Father Xia nodded with a smile.

Finally swallowed the rice, Xue Haitong did not forget to praise, "Uncle cooking is really good!" ”

"New Oriental must be good!" Xia Qingfeng said.

Xue Haitong thought he was joking, and said, "My brother really loves to laugh!" ”

"He's not laughing!" Xia Zhuming said seriously, "My dad really went to New Oriental to learn cooking!" ”

"It's still better than before!" Father Xia suddenly sighed, "After learning a technology, you won't be afraid of not having food to eat, and you can still support your family!" ”

Xue Haitong didn't know what he meant, so he didn't talk, just smiled.

Then, Dad Xia talked about the difficult years he and Mother Xia had gone through hand in hand, and constantly emphasized the importance of husband and wife being together.

Xue Haitong listened to it, and finally got a clue, it turned out that he still blamed his status as a "soldier", and he couldn't be on call or accompany him.

When it came to emotion, he also asked Xia's mother to bring wine and pour herself a glass, and she also wanted to pour a glass for Xue Haitong, but after hearing him say that he wanted to drive, she didn't force it anymore.

After a few glasses of wine, Father Xia shifted the topic to Xia Zhuming and Xue Haitong.

"To be honest, I'm not very satisfied!" Father Xia looked at Xue Haitong, his face was flushed, and he didn't know if it was drunk or emotional, "It's not easy to be a military wife, it's too bitter, I'm afraid she won't be able to persist!" ”

As soon as these words came out, the air seemed to be quiet, and everyone stopped moving.

"I know!" Xue Haitong put down his chopsticks, sat upright, and replied respectfully, "Because of the special reasons of work, I can't accompany her well, but I will find a way to make up for it from other places!" ”

"I can't make it up!" Father Xia waved his hand, burped, and continued, "In my opinion, the most important thing between husband and wife is understanding, as well as companionship! What you can't do, what you can't do, I don't agree, I really don't want to agree! I think she can find someone who can take care of her, even if he is poor and uneducated, but he must be able to take care of people! ”

"I'm not married, poor and uneducated, I won't take care of myself!" Xia Zhuming said.

Father Xia looked at his daughter, shook his head, sighed and said, "You can't even cook, how can you take care of yourself!" ”

knew that he didn't completely agree with the matter between himself and Xia Zhuming, but when he heard him say it in person, Xue Haitong's heart was still not very comfortable. The appetite caused by food did not fill the food completely, but filled these few words.

Feeling Xue Haitong's emotions, Xia Zhuming gently held his hand and said, "My dad is drunk, don't listen to his nonsense!" ”

deliberately lowered his voice, just because he didn't want him to hear it, but he not only heard it, but was also stimulated, only to see him look at them sternly, and said loudly, "I'm not drunk, not at all, what I say is what I say in my heart!" ”

Although none of their family is a good drinker, Father Xia rarely drinks alcohol, and he is rarely seen drunk, so it is not clear whether he is drunk or awake now.

Xia Zhuming, who was originally not the same thing, was also a little confused at this time. If he doesn't agree, he urges Xue Haitong to come to the house every day as a guest, could it be that he is deceiving people to come to the door to accept his blow? Xia Zhuming felt unreasonable, put the chopsticks on the table, and opened her mouth to reason with Xia's father, but was robbed by Xia's mother.

Mother Xia turned her face sideways, looked at Father Xia, and scolded in a low voice, "Eat!" Then he put a few pieces of meat into his bowl, "Talking nonsense as soon as he drinks!" ”

I don't know if he finished what he said in his heart, or if Xia's mother's deterrence played a role, in short, he no longer emphasized his "opposition", and stopped talking about Xue Haitong and Xia Zhuming, and shifted his attention to Xia Qingfeng again.

But the words he said were like water spilled out, Xue Haitong heard it in his heart, and he couldn't remember what those meals tasted like at the end, and then he didn't care too much about what he talked about, all that surrounded his mind all day was the words of Father Xia.
