Chapter 17: Clearing
On Sunday, it was cloudy and clear.
Xiao Ting usually has to sleep until she wakes up naturally at this time, but today is different, she got up before dawn, cleaned up her bedroom very carefully, mopped the floor, wiped the table, and wiped the two drinking cups three times. There are a few rag dolls on the bedside, and the decorated girl is full of heart.
When everything was done, Xiao Ting still checked them one by one, and then sat on the edge of the bed and looked out the window at what seemed to be a little cloudy.
I made an appointment to come back to my house at noon today, and my parents will be there, but I don't know what the result of this meeting will be? Father is okay to say, but mother is really a little difficult to pass......
Xiao Ting has a little headache when she thinks of her mother, others say that she has completely inherited everything from her mother, height, temperament, beauty, and of course, temperament.
Because of the school's flower delivery, the head teacher found out and called his family to tell him, which led to this meeting that should have been postponed for a few years.
Of course, Xiao Ting's mother has always been against students falling in love, but she really couldn't stand her daughter's crying, and when she heard that the boy was the very honest little boy who used to go to her house, she let go, and said that she would see you first, only what the result would be, and she didn't guarantee it.
Compared to Xiao Ting's current anxiety, Bai Chuan, who had been waiting for the store to open on the street, was like an ant on a hot pot in his heart, feeling that something was wrong.
Shirakawa also got up very early, and it can be said that he basically didn't sleep well all night, just lying down. Bai Chuan spent all night thinking about what to buy for his uncle and aunt when he went to Xiao Ting's house for the first time, and it was always bad to go empty-handed for the first time, but his pitiful salary was a drop in the bucket compared to Xiao Ting's parents, who had been on the city TV station for two years.
The clothes were selected by Xiao Ting's gang, cyan jeans, a casual white long-sleeved shirt, and a pair of casual shoes.
Shirakawa stayed up until nine o'clock, the store opened, and went directly to the wine counter, asking for a bottle of finely packaged wine that was enough for half a month's salary, and then went to the * counter to buy two boxes of nutritional products. Passing by the jewelry store, I "seriously" selected a pair of beautiful crystal earrings for Xiao Ting - ten yuan.
The vegetable market is in the middle of Xiao Ting's school and her own home, although she passes by every day, but Xiao Ting has never been in, and today she made an exception and begged her mother to buy vegetables with her, and she still had a month's pocket money in her pocket.
"He loves to eat this, and that ......" Xiao Ting was very excited, pulling her mother's arm and asking to buy this, buy that.
"You can't just choose a dish that your dad and I love to eat!" Xiao Ting's mother glared at Xiao Ting.
"Didn't you tell me you love everything! Don't be a picky eater when eating! Xiao Ting replied in her mother's words that often said to herself.
"Alas...... The girl is outgoing ......" Xiao Ting's mother shook her head and smiled bitterly.
"The boss came to four hairy crabs, and asked for the biggest ......" Xiao Ting didn't care whether her mother agreed or not, and bought the hairy crabs that were definitely a luxury at that time. Of course, this time it was Xiao Ting's own payment.
When she got home, Xiao Ting brought several gloves before she dared to take the hairy crab out of the bag and put it in the vegetable washing sink, and immediately jumped far away when she turned on the faucet, as if she was afraid that the hairy crab would jump out and clip herself.
Bai Chuan came to Xiao Ting's house half an hour early to go downstairs, but did not go in, but rode around the community a few times before he mustered up the courage to ring the pager at the door downstairs.
It was Xiao Ting's mother who answered, and she couldn't hear the heat and cold, which made Bai Chuan's heart even more bottomless, and when the downstairs door clicked open, it popped open, and Bai Chuan's mind was empty, as empty as a blank piece of paper.
Xiao Ting's family lived on the third floor, and the confused Bai Chuan waited until he climbed to the fifth floor before he realized that he had walked by, and then turned around.
What should come is still coming, Bai Chuan was about to ring the doorbell, but the door opened from the inside, Xiao Ting's head poked out, and flour was sticky to her face. Looking at Bai Chuan, who was standing at the door, he was startled and said angrily, "I thought you lost that, it's been open for so long, why did you come up?" ”
"I ...... I climbed over the floor......" Shirakawa blushed a little.
"Hey...... It's so stupid......" Xiao Ting opened the door, took a pair of brand-new slippers from the shoe cabinet in the door, and put them at the door: "Change shoes...... Hey, hey".
"Is Xiaochuan here...... Xiao Ting's father heard a very gentle voice from inside.
"Well, here ......" Xiao Ting replied as she turned out what Bai Chuan had in his hand. gave Shirakawa another look, and asked Shirakawa to quickly change into slippers and go in by himself.
"Come in, come in, don't be so particular, it's all from the countryside, you don't need to change your shoes" Xiao Ting beat her father with a newspaper in her hand, and came out to greet Bai Chuan.
"Hello uncle!"
"It's been a few years, but Ogawa has really become an adult!"
For Xiao Ting's father Bai Chuan's memory, it is gentle, and it is difficult to see, anyway, it has always been busy.
Xiao Ting's father's kindness made Bai Chuan feel a lot more at ease, and he still changed into slippers and entered the living room.
"My mother is making dumplings, I'm learning along, by the way, I can personally make a dish for you to eat today," Xiao Ting whispered to Bai Chuan.
"These two children, there are still secret jackets" Xiao Ting's father smiled and looked at Bai Chuan repeatedly.
Xiao Ting went to help her mother. The remaining two people in the living room, one asked and the other answered mechanically, but it was not so embarrassing.
Shirakawa is really lacking in this aspect of communication, and when he was a child, he couldn't even say a word of auspiciousness for the New Year. A few cousins, when they go there, they will fill their cloth pockets and fill them up, but Bai Chuan is not given by his mother, and he will never take it himself.
Later, Xiao Ting also gave Bai Chuan a very incisive evaluation: "You can't kick a fart with three feet." ”
Xiao Ting's mother kept a straight face, and she didn't say much at the dinner table, just asked a few polite words about whether Bai Chuan's family knew it was okay.
The most she could talk about should be Xiao Ting, basically she didn't stop, put the steamed hairy crab in her bowl and opened it carefully, then poured a little vinegar, handed the dish to Bai Chuan, and watched Bai Chuan finish eating with a face waiting for praise.
The simple words "delicious ......" made Xiao Ting explode, talking about how she chose it, bought it with her own money, and was cut by a crab claw when she made it, etc. Of course, the exaggerated component is still very large. At least afterwards, Bai Chuan didn't see the wound on Xiao Ting's hand.
Xiao Ting's father drank the wine Bai Chuan bought, and at the same time watched the two children talk as if they were watching a play. also touched Xiao Ting's mother, who was eating dumplings next to him, "Look, it's like we used to ...... before."
Xiao Ting's mother also saw that her daughter really liked this shy boy, but she still couldn't get over something in her heart......
After the meal, Xiao Ting pulled Bai Chuan into her room, and Xiao Ting's mother, who wanted to stop her, was stopped by Xiao Ting's father: "Our daughter, be measured...... I think Xiaochuan is a very good kid, but he is more shy and shy than I was back then......" After speaking, he smiled really with satisfaction.
"I didn't say that it was bad, but whether my daughter would study ...... And then there is ......" Xiao Ting's mother wanted to say but didn't continue.
"It didn't affect before, and it shouldn't be in the future, these two children have been childhood sweethearts since they were young, and I'm afraid what will happen sooner, but it's okay now, it means that the two children are completely counted! Don't worry about it, besides, we've been busy with the factory, wouldn't it be nice to have someone to accompany Tingting? ”
"Yes...... Just ......"
Xiao Ting didn't care about the conversation of her parents, and when Bai Chuan saw Xiao Ting close the door, her tense body and mind suddenly relaxed, and she took a deep breath.
"What! Tired? ”
"Tired, really tired, more tired than a week's work, you see I'm sweaty......" Bai Chuan pulled up his collar with his hand and let Xiao Ting see.
"Come and sit down...... Xiao Ting pulled over a chair, forcibly pressed Bai Chuan on the chair, and then massaged Bai Chuan's shoulders with unprecedented gentleness.
Shirakawa also enjoyed it, even if he wanted to express just now that he was not physically tired, but ......
Of course, seeing Bai Chuan take out the pair of crystal earrings, Xiao Ting didn't care about Bai Chuan, and carefully put them on in the dressing mirror, looking left and right, it was very stinky and beautiful.
At dinner, Xiao Ting's family made a final vote, 2 to 1, of course, this 1 was still raised and put down.
There is still a premise for this, that is, Xiao Ting must be admitted to a key university in the province. There is also a top priority: never do anything "out of line".
