Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong was surprised not that Anton called "Mom" as soon as he came up, but that he really could speak Chinese, and at first glance he didn't have an accent at all.

She was stunned, and Anton was stunned. Fortunately, Anton was stunned for a second, and then quickly explained: "That...... Because in the park, Min was afraid that you would hear her drink Coke, so she deliberately said it in English......"

"Are you an American?" Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong asked directly.

"Count...... Sort of. Anton would like to say that he is a pure Northeast man, but the question must be believed, "but I was born in China......" Actually, this is also doubtful, but it should be considered, "I went to the United States later." ”

Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong glanced at him and sighed with some headache: "Alas, Qi Min, this girl." ”

She is thinking about the boyfriend her daughter is looking for, even if she is not a complete foreign devil, she is also a "Sino-American hybrid" who grew up in the United States. And what's even more troublesome is that this kid can obviously speak Chinese, and he even speaks English with her daughter at home.

However, Anton didn't know what Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong was thinking, he saw that she didn't speak, so he silently continued to peel apples with a knife. After slicing, cut into pieces and put them in a bowl, then wash the juicer and start squeezing the apple juice.

At this time, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong, who was standing on the side "watching", suddenly asked, "By the way...... Do you plan to go back to the U.S. or stay here? ”

Anton was asked coldly, and almost poured the apple pieces out of the juicer without slipping his hand, and hurriedly said, "Of course I stayed here." What can I do in the United States...... Right. ”

He regretted it when he said it. Anton knows that what he dislikes the most is that he doesn't have a serious job, but he can't actually blame Qi Min for letting him take Mimi at home, because he himself is not very motivated. It stands to reason that Anton had a high school education at the time, and even if he couldn't be a chef, he could do some other decent job, and even take out a loan to go to college, which was better than food delivery. But he doesn't want to leave the Chinese restaurant, and he doesn't want to owe money, he always feels that he can't afford to pay it back in the future, and instead of "fighting" day and night with debts, it is better to deliver takeaways.

This is also because of the high cost of labor in the United States, and the money earned from food delivery is not a lot. Anyway, for Anton, it is enough to have money to spend and be able to maintain a normal life, when Qi Min was studying for a doctorate, he still had the motivation to make money, and after Qi Min graduated, he really felt that there was no need to work so hard. After all, Qi Min is quite good, and if her boyfriend doesn't work well, it will be more embarrassing than not having a job.

But sure enough, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong asked in passing: "Then what did you do in the United States before?" ”

This question was asked logically, and Anton had to jump into the pit he had dug for himself: "I am ...... In a restaurant, huh...... Food delivery. ”

Hearing this answer, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong couldn't help but look at him carefully. Anton thought that the middle-class electrical engineer in China would dislike her girlfriend's boyfriend's former social status, but almost no one thought about it, and Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong was a little relieved at this time.

She was originally afraid that her daughter's Ph.D. studies would be crooked and she would start to worship foreigners, and she would "commit treason" to live in the United States in the future. But now it seems that the boyfriend she is looking for is just messing around in the United States, and it is better to mix well in China. Looking at Anton's appearance again, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong understood a little that her daughter just liked this kid for his good looks, neither for a class jump nor for a U.S. green card, in her opinion, it was just fun.

Young people nowadays, alas.

But even if it's fun, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong is a little embarrassed that her daughter has found a boyfriend who delivers takeaways. Although their family is said to be the middle class, the middle class has always been very fragile, and they really can't afford to make it. It's better for this kid not to make anything happen, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong thought, and since Qi Min didn't bring people home to meet her parents as soon as possible, in her opinion, most of them have no intention of maintaining a long-term relationship, and I hope she will break up when she gets tired of playing.

Thinking so, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong couldn't help asking: "Hey, young man, are you and Qi Min ...... When did you meet? ”

Anton stopped the switch on the juicer and replied with some hesitation: "Six years ago...... At that time, Min had just started to study for a PhD. ”

Anton was a little afraid that Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong would misunderstand, and felt that he was a first-year doctoral student who had a bright future for "investment" at that time. But to really talk about it, at that time, he had just graduated from a public high school that didn't need money, and he had just started to deliver food full-time to make a living. At that time, Anton really didn't understand anything, and ridiculed Qi Min's salary for studying for a doctorate was not as good as washing dishes in a Chinese restaurant.

However, compared to the time when they met, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong was even more surprised that they had known each other for six years. I haven't had enough fun in the past six years, isn't it a bit too much?

And as an old lady, Zhu Shaoqiong also knew that Qi Min's temper was a little weird, and Qin Zhenjun didn't mess with her at all before, so much that she still hates people until now. And this kid has long hair and combs a ponytail, and he looks quite individual, but the more personality people have, the easier it is to provoke Qi Min. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong really doesn't understand what he is capable of, and he will not get tired of playing with her daughter for six years.

And if it's been talking about it for six years, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong is also a little worried that this kid has instilled some messy views in her daughter - otherwise, he can't speak well as a takeaway, no matter how good-looking he is for so many years, he is tired of watching it, what has Qi Min been trying to do all these years!

"Young man, how many years have you been delivering takeaways?" Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong asked.

"It's been a little over six years." Anton replied.

Co-author: Did you know Qi Min when you just started delivering takeaways? Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong then asked, "Then what did you do before delivering takeaways?" ”

Anton was stunned for two seconds before he said uncertainly, "I'm ...... Attending a public high school? ”

Because the owner of the original Chinese restaurant left, no one could pay Anton tuition for a private high school, and he spent his last year of high school in a tuition-free public high school. Anton was a little hesitant to tell Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong that he was actually in a private high school with better teaching quality and had taken some AP courses in high school, and he was barely a cultural person.

However, even in the private and public sectors, the fact that he was still in high school more than six years ago shocked Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong. It also means that Anton met Qi Min not long after he entered the society, and at that time Qi Min was already a person who was scolded by his ex-boyfriend in college and would not treat his boyfriend so casually.

In this way, Qi Min should be three or four years older than this kid. These three or four years are an important stage for young people in their twenties to understand society. Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong suddenly understood why her daughter could talk to him for so long and be safe-I'm afraid it wasn't because this kid instilled something in Qi Min, but because Qi Min subtly instilled something in him.

It can also be heard from his accent that he is indeed greatly influenced by Qi Min.
