Chapter 64: An Awkward Family Banquet
(People will grow old and die, and time is short, so meet early, love each other in time, and do your best.) Until there is no way to retreat, it is reborn. That's when you know what it means to be at peace. )
Mother and Zhang Xiaodie took the elevator to the door of the house, and the mother opened the door and shouted, "Xiaoyuan, look who is coming?" ”
I sat on the couch and said, "Mom, who's that?" ”
When my mother and Zhang Xiaodie walked in, I was stunned, and after seeing Zhang Xiaodie, I said in a slump and said, "Xiao...... Xiaodie, you...... How did you come back with Mom! ”
Before Zhang Xiaodie could explain, her mother said eagerly: "Xiaoyuan! If I hadn't met Xiaodie today, your mother and I would have almost been robbed by gangsters."
I hurriedly stood up and walked up to my mother and said, "Mom, what's wrong, are you hurt?"
Mother smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay, that is, when I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables and came back, I met a knife-wielding gangster at the fork in the road who wanted to rob my mother's money, and then I met Xiaodie, or Xiaodie saved my mother!" But Xiaodie is really powerful, it didn't take long to subdue the gangsters, and it felt like making a blockbuster."
Mom, don't forget, in addition to being my college classmate, Xiaodie also has an identity that is a veteran of the army like me! So it's easy to capture a knife-wielding thief.
Xiao Yuan! Don't you dare to say that! Anyway, Xiaodie is also a girl, what if she gets hurt.
Auntie, what Xiaoyuan said is right, I didn't take this gangster seriously! After all, I also learned to grapple and sanda in the army, so you can rest assured, auntie!
Okay, okay, I'm relieved that Xiaoyuan can have a girlfriend like you.
Zhang Xiaodie put down the nutritional products she bought from the supermarket in her hand and said cordially to her mother, who was busy in the kitchen: "Auntie, I'll help you, give you a hand."
Mother hurriedly smiled and said, "No, I'll be alone, you can sit and chat with Xiaoyuan for a while, and his father should come back in a while, and let you taste Auntie's craftsmanship when the time comes."
Zhang Xiaodie hesitated and said, "This ...... How embarrassing is this! ”
I'm sorry, this is almost a family, if you want to do it in the future, there will be a chance, but not today, you come to our house for the first time, Auntie can't let you be tired, besides, you saved Auntie just now! So this meal Auntie must cook with her own hands, so that you can taste Auntie's craftsmanship, Mother said.
Zhang Xiaodie didn't know what to say, so she could only sit on the sofa with me and chat about family life.
After a while, my mother put the delicious meal on the table, untied her apron, and said with a smile: "Look at the time, your father is almost home."
It was too late, but it was too late, and my mother heard the knock on the door, so she smiled and said to me and Xiaodie: "Look, just said that Cao Cao Cao will arrive, your father is back, I will open the door for him, and give him a surprise."
The mother said loudly: "Coming, coming, don't knock".
Mother walked to the door and opened the door, and saw that outside the door, in addition to her father, there was a well-dressed and lovely woman standing beside her father, this beautiful woman was none other than Xiuzhen, the daughter of Aunt Zhang in the community.
When her mother saw Xiuzhen coming back with her father, her brows tightened
frowned, and said secretly in his heart: "It's okay now, Xiaoyuan's girlfriend has just arrived home, and Xiuzhen is also here, how can this be good!" ”。
Xiuzhen handed some nutritional products to her mother in her hand, and said to her mother: "Auntie, because there are a lot of things in the company a few days ago, so I just came over to see you and my uncle as soon as I was free today, and take a look at He Yuan, by the way, Auntie, He Yuan should be at home!" ”。
The mother took the nutritional supplement and said with a smile: "Xiuzhen! It's good for people to come, why buy so many things, if you are like this, Auntie will have to count you again."
Xiuzhen responded: "Auntie, you must not say that, you and your uncle have watched me grow up since childhood, and it is appropriate to buy something to see you, so Auntie should not be polite, unless it is the aunt who dislikes the gift brought by Xiuzhen."
The mother hurriedly said, "How could it be! Don't think about it, can't Auntie accept it?"
The father stood aside and said, "Xiaoyuan's mother, you see that you have been talking at the door for a long time, and you will not let me and Xiuzhen enter the house to sit."
Mother hurriedly said, "That's what I said...... That's right, Xiuzhen, ...... Fast...... Come in, Auntie didn't let you in when she patronized, I'm sorry."
Xiuzhen smiled and said, "It's okay, Auntie, this also reflects your concern for the younger generation, I can't wait to chat with Auntie often!" ”。
You kid, your mouth is sweet, and the aunt you said is full of joy, you can eat more things in a while, and you can also taste the food cooked by your aunt.
My father, mother, and Xiuzhen walked in with a smile, and when I saw Zhang Xiaodie sitting next to me, the two of them looked very close, and the most surprised were my father and Xiuzhen.
Xiuzhen didn't dare to speak because she was a guest and didn't know the details for fear of making a fuss, but she sat on the sofa alone, and her father hurriedly asked, "Xiaoyuan, who is this next to you?" ”
Oh, Dad, I forgot to introduce you, this person next to me is my girlfriend Zhang Xiaodie, Xiaodie just arrived at our house today, I want to visit you and Mom!
After Xiuzhen heard what I said, she always felt a little out of place when she sat on the sidelines, although she didn't say it, but every action she showed was vividly displayed.
The father looked at Xiaodie and then at Xiuzhen, and didn't know what to say.
This awkward situation lasted for several minutes, and when my mother shouted, "Come, you are coming to dinner", we all left the sofa and sat down on the dining table and chairs, at first it was just you looking at me, I looking at you, and no one opened their mouths to speak.
Mother felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, so she took the initiative to introduce: "Xiaoyuan, let me introduce you, sitting next to your father is Aunt Zhang's daughter Xiuzhen, although you often played together when you were young, but after all, you haven't seen each other for many years, so my mother will introduce you to you."
In fact, my mother didn't say this to me, although Xiuzhen and I haven't seen each other for many years, but I still remember what she looks like, and these words are for Xiaodie.
The mother said to Xiuzhen again: "Xiuzhen! The person sitting next to Xiaoyuan is called Zhang Xiaodie, who is Xiaoyuan's college classmate and comrade-in-arms", the reason why my mother didn't say that Xiaodie was my girlfriend was to avoid embarrassment, after all, my mother had never said to Xiuzhen that Xiaoyuan didn't have a girlfriend yet, if she suddenly said that Xiaodie was my girlfriend, then her face as an elder couldn't be lifted in front of the juniors.
Xiuzhen said hello to Xiaodie with a smile, and Xiaodie could see what was going on, after all, I and Xiaodie were not only in the army
has only been honed in physical fitness, and has also been fully honed in terms of will and thought, so Xiaodie is no longer as shy and coquettish as ordinary girls.
Xiaodie smiled and said to Xiuzhen: "Xiuzhen, hello, I often hear He Yuan mention you, saying that you have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, good like brothers and sisters, I didn't buy some gifts for you when we first met, wait for next time, I will definitely buy you a gift next time."
After Xiuzhen heard what Xiaodie said, she felt that she was very embarrassed now, and secretly thought to herself: "I originally wanted to take this time to come to my uncle and aunt's house to see if I could communicate with my uncle and aunt, see what He Yuan meant, and if I could, I might be able to marry He Yuan", but I couldn't think of killing Zhang Xiaodie halfway, no way, in addition to her good looks, she was also a graduate of Tsinghua University like He Yuan, and she was still a comrade-in-arms, plus the words "brother and sister" that Zhang Xiaodie said just now, it couldn't help but make her feel disheartened.
Xiuzhen sat with her head bowed, and just relied on bamboo chopsticks to put the food in front of her mouth at will, so as to avoid embarrassment.
Father looked at Xiaodie and Xiuzhen, he didn't know what to say, if Zhang Xiaodie was the only one next to him, then he would have many questions and topics, such as: "Where is your home?" How many people are in the family? What do both parents do.........
The whole dinner table was silent, each eating the food in his own bowl, and what was originally a lively family banquet became a silent banquet.
The mother glanced at her father with squinted eyes, and her father knew that she seemed to have done something wrong, and she shouldn't take Xiuzhen home, even if she wanted to bring it home, she had to choose a time, but at this time, Xiaodie was also there.
After a while, Xiuzhen finished eating the food in the bowl and felt that she was not suitable to stay at the table, so she took out her mobile phone and pretended to be in a hurry, and said to her father and mother: "Uncle and aunt, I suddenly found that I still have an urgent matter, and I just happened to be full, so I will leave first, and next time I will take the time to come and see the second elder, I'm sorry, I just looked at the phone, and the company has something to do, so I will go first."
Mother and father saw Xiuzhen's anxious look, thinking that her company was in a hurry, so they said, "Okay, okay, then you slow down, you have time to come to the house to play!" ”。
After finishing speaking, Xiuzhen walked out of the house, and after this uninvited guest left, the original excitement at home also returned.
The mother saw that the rice in Zhang Xiaodie's bowl had been eaten and said, "Xiaodie, come...... Give the bowl to Auntie......... Auntie will give you some".
Xiaodie smiled and said, "Thank you, Auntie."
The mother said, "Thank you, thank you! It's all one family, so I won't talk to them."
The father sat aside, looked at Xiaodie carefully, and said, "Xiaodie! Xiuzhen was at home just now, and her uncle had a lot of things to say, but now that she is busy in the company, my uncle wants to ask who is in your family? What do parents do? Maybe what the uncle said was a little abrupt, but you just took it as small talk, and the uncle didn't mean anything else, just asking.
Zhang Xiaodie responded with a smile: "Uncle, it's okay, I understand, there's nothing abrupt or abrupt, there are only three people in my family, just my parents and me, my parents are teachers, but now I am old and retired."
After hearing this, my father hurriedly said: "Okay, well, Xiaodie is worthy of graduating from college, her mind and bearing are not comparable to ordinary people, after all, your parents taught her well, raising you such a good daughter, Xiaoyuan, this child can find you as a girlfriend, that is the blessing and creation of his life." 2k reading web
