Chapter 11: Give Me Time
Meng Yao's mother's name is Li Zijin, and her father's name is Meng Chengxuan, since I can remember, Meng Yao's parents have been friends with my parents, and I have always called them Aunt Zijin and Uncle Xuan.
Originally, I planned to cook and entertain Aunt Zijin and Uncle Xuan in person, but as soon as I said it, Aunt Zijin refused: "How can a man cook if there are guests at home." ”
After speaking, he glared at Meng Yao, and said in a tone full of reproach: "It's just that we are not outsiders, if there are outsiders, we need a man to cook, this is not to sweep the face of our own man." ”
Although it was a reproach, Meng Yao lowered her head and blushed shyly, followed Aunt Zijin into the kitchen, leaving me sitting on the sofa with an embarrassed face.
Uncle Xuan was not surprised, and still watched TV.
"Uncle Xuan, did you and Aunt Zijin really come to Weihai to see Meng Yao?" I asked casually, and after I finished speaking, I really wanted to slap myself, and my parents came all the way to my daughter, who to see if I didn't look at my daughter?
Uncle Xuan glanced at me, was silent for a long time, looked at me sideways, and said quite solemnly: "Xiao Han, although your Uncle Xuan has not been very close to the life of you and Meng Yao for so many years, but Uncle Xuan has heard a little about the things around you, and to put it mildly, you and Meng Yao are what Uncle Xuan ate this morning. ”
"Uncle Xuan, what did I eat this morning?" I looked at him with curiosity, and of course, I wasn't raising the bar.
Uncle Xuan was speechless for a moment, and looked at me with hatred.
"Uncle will make an analogy, uncle must know that this matter must not be set up every day to calculate the hexagram, and the money will come from a lot of yuan."
I put away my joking tone, and after a moment of silence, I said to him, "Uncle Xuan, you know everything?" ”
Uncle Xuan nodded and responded: "I also heard others talk about it, it is said that the girl is going to marry a rich second generation in Weihai." ”
After speaking, he glanced at me tentatively and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, did you dump her or the girl dumped you?" ”
"Uncle, can we stop talking about this? This is just the point, and now I feel uncomfortable when I ask about it. ”
Uncle Xuan smiled and quipped: "Hey, you good baby is still uncomfortable." ”
I glanced at him angrily, Uncle Xuan didn't look at me anymore, watched TV, and said something to himself: "It's good to be divided, my girl is not bad, what do you want, you can cook and laundry, and be filial......"
"Yes, your daughter is good at everything, she can do anything." I just can't take it anymore.
But I always felt that Meng Yao's parents came too suddenly, not like they came for their daughter at all, like for me, or my mother.
With questions, he asked Uncle Xuan directly: "Uncle Xuan, didn't my mother tell you anything?" ”
Uncle Xuan didn't want to answer my question, but said, "Ask my wife to go." ”
"Aren't Aunt Zijin and my mother all colluding, I might as well ask her if I ask you, we are both men, easy to talk to." I licked my face and laughed.
"You're not too big or too small." Uncle Xuan glared at me angrily, and then, Uncle Xuan, who has always been no big or small with me, said heavily: "Xiao Han, listen to my uncle's advice, hurry up and meet your mother, it's really not okay to take Meng Yao with you." ”
I thought about it, but this time I surprisingly didn't refuse directly, and was silent for a long time before I said, "I want to think about it." ”
Uncle Xuan nodded, not asking me.
"What are you doing sitting there, you don't have a handle." Aunt Zijin came out of the kitchen with a pot of vegetables and said.
......
At the dinner table, Meng Yao and I sat opposite her parents, and this atmosphere always made me a little embarrassed.
Aunt Zijin looked at me and Meng Yao and said casually: "Your university in Weihai has been graduated for so long now, and it is time to go back to Suzhou to develop and develop." ”
"Yes, our Suzhou is no worse than this Weihai." Uncle Xuan very much agreed with Aunt Zijin's words.
Aunt Zijin and Uncle Xuan changed their ways to let me go back to Suzhou all the time, but I don't want to go back to Suzhou at the moment, I am a little helpless, but I can't explain it, for example, I don't want to see my mother at all now, which makes Meng Yao's parents disappointed in me for a while, and they can't get off the stage even more.
"I've been in Weihai for so long, I finally have feelings, and I'm reluctant to leave now." In addition to not wanting to go back to Suzhou, my nostalgia for Weihai is also inseparable.
I have been in Weihai for almost eight years, and I have cried, laughed, sad, and satisfied here......
"Don't worry about it, we're not children anymore." Meng Yao said complainingly.
"You guys?" Uncle Xuan and Aunt Zijin stared at Meng Yao with a smile, and Meng Yao's face suddenly turned red like "swish", and she didn't dare to raise her head.
I know that I can't hide it from them anymore, "Uncle Xuan, Aunt Zijin, you misunderstood, Meng Yao and I are really not what you think." ”
Aunt Zijin was stunned for a moment, looked at Uncle Xuan, and didn't know what to say.
The atmosphere at the dinner table suddenly froze, Meng Yao lowered her head, and her eyes flashed with loss.
Uncle Xuan frowned, but still whispered to me: "Xiaohan, some people miss it or miss it. ”
"No matter how good the scenery outside, I have to go home anyway."
"Think for yourself." Uncle Xuan dropped this sentence, pulled Aunt Zijin and left, I sat in the seat with Meng Yao for a long time, only to realize that I hadn't sent them yet, I don't know if they were waiting for me and Meng Yao downstairs, and said that they didn't say: These two little rabbit cubs will not come to send them off.
Meng Yao looked at the food in front of her, she had no appetite, and I said kindly: "Eat, you haven't used chopsticks much, Uncle Xuan and Aunt Zijin will definitely go out to eat in a while." ”
Meng Yao snorted, her voice was very small, she picked up the chopsticks and ate one bite at a time, a bowl of rice I think she has to eat for an hour.
"Meng Yao."
"Hmm."
"Can you give me some time?"
Meng Yao looked at me with a puzzled face, I looked at her complicatedly, and said, "Give me some time, and I will take you back to Suzhou to see my parents in a month." ”
"Good!" Meng Yao said excitedly, smiling and eating the rice in the bowl, like a child who was about to have a toy.
I don't know how much courage it took to say this, I don't know if I really love Meng Yao, I just know that maybe, I really can't live up to Meng Yao.
