Chapter 62: Go to Jiaxin's house for dinner
"You haven't been there since I moved!" Jiaxin said: "Why don't you do it this weekend, how about inviting your family of three to sit at home?" ”
Shao Cong scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "I don't have anything to do, my parents are not necessarily, they are busy!" Don't come here! ”
"Didn't you just say that Auntie is fine, and let me go over the weekend?" Jiaxin felt that Shao Cong's words were inconsistent: "Don't be embarrassed, I'm celebrating the New Year at your house!" Inviting you to my house for dinner is considered a return of the courtesy. I'll call her myself in a moment. ”
"Don't..." Shao Cong had just finished saying a word, when he saw Jiaxin shaking her hand at her with her back to him, not giving her a chance to explain at all.
When I arrived at the store and put down my schoolbag, Jiaxin called Shao Cong's mother non-stop, and on the other side of the phone, Shao Cong's mother was very happy, saying that she would definitely arrive on the weekend, and if it was possible, she would let Shao Shifeng go with her!
Jia Xin is relieved! Then he told Mu Chunhua about the weekend's arrangement, and Mu Chunhua was surprised.
"Eat at home? With my cooking skills, can I get on the countertop? ”
"It's okay, don't worry!" Jiaxin reassured Mu Chunhua: "Their family is very easy-going!" ”
With Jiaxin's encouragement, Mu Chunhua put his mind at ease and went to work on something else! In the past, when there were many customers in the store, Xu Xiaochen and Jin Lian were too busy, but now with Mu Chunhua's help, Jin Lian's burden has also been greatly reduced.
"Senior sister, the dyeing and perming agent is going to be out of stock!" Jiaxin said: "You take the time to call and ask them to send some!" ”
Xu Xiaochen nodded: "Recently, there have been a lot of perms, and there are indeed a lot of hair dyeing!" Even the aunt can get started and help with dyeing and perming! ”
Mu Chunhua smiled innocently on the side.
As he was talking, Song came over lightly, and as soon as he entered the door, he asked, "Why are you so happy, I can hear you laughing on the other side!" ”
Before Jia Xin could speak, Mu Chunhua hurriedly moved a chair: "Come, Master Song, sit!" ”
"By the way, master, I moved to a new house, and I haven't invited you to dinner yet!" Jia Xin has been negligent in this matter, and when she mentioned inviting Shao Cong's family to dinner just now, she thought of the masters: "On the weekend, I invited Shao Cong's family to come over for dinner, you and Senior Sister and Jin Lian came over together, we are so lively!" ”
Song gently waved his hand quickly: "You kid, stupid!" You invite people to dinner, how can we go? That seems to be too much attention, besides, eating with rich people, I can't eat well, I always feel awkward! ”
Jiaxin wanted to explain, saying that Shao Shifeng was the richest person in the county, but he was approachable and had no shelf at all.
But after thinking about it, it is a bit not solemn enough, firstly, the two groups of people do not know each other, and it is inevitable to sit together, and secondly, it seems that inviting the master and sister to dinner is just a incidental thing, not a special invitation!
"Hey, look at my brain! I won't do anything. Jiaxin laughed at herself: "Drilling into books all day long, I guess I'm stupid!" Then I have time to invite you alone! ”
Xu Xiaochen grinned: "Jiaxin, you are now more and more like going to society, and you will invite guests to dinner at every turn!" ”
Jia Xin sighed: "Senior sister, don't laugh at me." In fact, I just thought, I'm about to graduate, and I will spend less time with everyone, and it will become a luxury to have a meal together in the future! ”
One sentence makes the atmosphere quite heavy!
"You kid, okay, why are you talking about this!" Song gently poked Jiaxin: "Just listen to you, when you have time, invite us to dinner and fulfill your wishes!" ”
******
The weekend is fast approaching. In order not to delay the work in the store, Jiaxin deliberately chose it at night, but Mu Chunhua was busy at home all day!
Early in the morning, I went to the vegetable market to buy chicken, duck, fish, and fruits! Jia Xin went to the barber shop, and Jia Cheng stayed at home to help!
In the evening, Shao Cong drove Li Wanyun and Shao Shifeng to Jiaxin's house, and when he passed by the barber shop, he took Jiaxin home!
As soon as Jiaxin got in the car, Li Wanyun grabbed her, and couldn't hide the joy in her eyes: "Jiaxin, I haven't seen you for a long time, I always say let Congcong take you over, but this kid just means that you are busy!" ”
Jiaxin was very embarrassed, and patiently explained: "Auntie, it's me who is not good, since the end of the New Year, all kinds of things have continued, and I always say that I want to see you and my uncle, but I can't spare time to come!" ”
Shao Shifeng sat on the co-pilot and smiled: "This Jia Xin is busy, I think it's true, you see just passed by her shop, and it was crowded!" ”
"Gee, then we're not going to disturb your business!" Li Wanyun asked in hindsight.
"Auntie, look at what you said!" Jiaxin pretended to be angry: "I'm all busy, besides, no matter how busy I am, I still have time for you and your uncle-in-law to sit at home." ”
The three of them were laughing again, only Shao Cong was silent, concentrating on driving, not only that, but also with a very heavy expression.
Jiaxin asked, "Shao Cong, why do you look unhappy!" ”
"No, I'm concentrating on driving!"
Li Wanyun dragged Jiaxin and motioned to Jiaxin to ignore him: "Let him drive!" This kid, I don't know what's going on, today is high and low unwilling to let us come, I said, Jiaxin has already called me, it's not appropriate not to go, no, just for this, don't say a word along the way! ”
That's it?
Jiaxin was a little confused, he was so reluctant to let his parents come? Is it a problem with her, or an opinion about her home?
"Mom, don't talk nonsense!" Shao Cong glanced at Li Wanyun from the rearview mirror: "I didn't let you come, I was just afraid of causing trouble to Jiaxin..."
"What's the trouble!" Jia Xin was displeased: "You talk like this, how can I go to your house in the future?" ”
Suddenly, Li Wanyun pointed to the road ahead and said, "Hey, why do I feel that this is a little familiar?" Oh, isn't this the place where Xiao He's family lives? Turn left at the end of the road, and the second alley is..."
The second alley? Jiaxin was about to say that her new home was in the second alley.
Shao Shifeng preemptively said: "Xiao He? Is that the same Xiao He who delivered the goods to us? ”
"That's right!" Li Wanyun pointed to the front again and said: "I have been here once, and I still have the impression that it is in front, yes, yes, yes, ”
Shao Cong turned the car in, and then stopped at the second alley!
"Auntie, uncle!" Jiaxin shouted: "This is it, come, get off, slow down..." Jiaxin beckoned Shao Cong's family to get out of the car, and shouted into the yard: "Mom, people are coming..."
There are two alleys in Jiaxin's house, and when Mu Chunhua walked out of the family on the left, Li Wanyun looked surprised: "Hey, isn't this Xiao He's family?" ”
Jiaxin was stunned for a moment, and then remembered that when she first went through the formalities, the person on the house certificate was indeed surnamed He! It can't be such a coincidence, right?
"Shao Cong, don't you come to Xiao He's house often, you were in the same class as his son before changing schools!" Li Wanyun didn't know what to do.
"Mom, you talk a lot!" Shao Cong pulled his mother and hurried into the yard!
Jia Xin looked at Shao Cong's indescribable expression, and seemed to know something!
Entering the house, Jiaxin made a brief introduction to each other, Mu Chunhua greeted Shao Cong's family very warmly, and then made tea, cut fruits, and put everything on the wooden coffee table: "The meal will be good immediately, drink some tea first, eat some fruit!" ”
"Jiaxin's mother, don't be busy, sit down and talk together!" Li Wanyun pulled Jiaxin's mother!
Mu Chunhua sat down to chat and talk to Shao Cong's parents, while Shao Cong walked around the room, and saw Jiacheng doing his homework in his room, and he watched it for a while!
Jiaxin walked in, gave Shao Cong a glass of water, sighed softly, and asked, "You helped me find this house, right?" ”
Shao Cong lowered his head, put his hands around his chest for a while, and shook his legs for a while, and in the end, he could only take the initiative to admit: "This is the house of my original classmate, and his father just happened to deliver goods to our family all year round, which is quite familiar, his family said early on that he wanted to sell the house, this is all a coincidence, I will recommend you to him!" ”
"You helped me again!" Jiaxin said: "I don't know how many times this is." No wonder I cut 10,000 that day, and he had no opinion, probably for the sake of you and your parents' face! ”
"Not either!" Shao Cong scratched the back of his head: "This house is worth this price!" ”
"If it weren't for my aunt saying those things today, I wouldn't know about it!" Jiaxin touched Jiacheng's head and deliberately didn't look at Shao Cong: "Why don't you want me to know every time you help me?" ”
"It's not that I don't want to, in fact, I really want to tell you!" Shao Cong glanced at Jiaxin: "But I think it's quite hypocritical, like asking for credit, I think you know if you know, if you don't know, you don't know, it's nothing!" ”
"You said you're a boy, why do you think so much!" Jia Xin smiled faintly: "If you don't say it, how can I know, if I don't know, how can I repay you." ”
Shao Cong walked over, raised his hand again, and rubbed the hair on Jiaxin's forehead, Jiaxin didn't hide, after kneading, Shao Cong flicked her lightly, and said as if warning: "Who thinks more about the two of us?" Pay me back, who wants your return? Hurry up and do what you promised me! ”
"Got it!" Jiaxin muttered: "Isn't it just a letter, look at what you're worried about!" ”
"I'm hungry!" Shao Cong pouted: "Can you eat?" ”
"Good!" Jiaxin said and instructed Jiacheng: "Jiacheng don't write, come out to eat!" ”
During the banquet, Mu Chunhua and Shao Cong's mother hit it off at first sight, probably because they have a common relative, so they regard each other as close people. Li Wanyun was very grateful to Mu Chunhua for taking care of her sister for so many years, and said a lot of words of gratitude, which made Du Chun feel very embarrassed.
"I haven't thanked you for letting Jiaxin go home during the New Year, she is alone, if there is no you, how bleak the Spring Festival should be!" Mu Chunhua said and toasted Shao Cong's parents and expressed his gratitude!
Jiaxin specially took new chopsticks to pick up vegetables for Shao Shifeng and his wife: "These are what my mother is good at, and I usually like to eat them the most!" Aunts and uncles, you taste! ”
After finishing the dishes, Jiaxin sat down and joined the ranks of adults chatting.
Shao Cong looked at Jiaxin from the side, then looked at the empty bowl in front of him, and suddenly said, "I want to eat that fish, help me clip a piece!" ”
Jiaxin glanced at it, and the fish was indeed a little far away, so she helped Shao Cong put a piece in his bowl, and then asked, "What else do you want to eat?" ”
Shao Cong smiled: "And that soup..."
