Chapter 32: Little Sister's Trap
Whether in urban or rural areas, many children will grow up and leave the house to start managing their own lives and families. Only during the New Year's holidays or a few times can I have the opportunity to really stay with my parents.
For the Xu family, Xu Haibao returned from the army this year, and the Xu family finally reunited. But in normal times, his parents are still reluctant to work in the factory, his sister still has to continue her studies, and Xu Haibao still enjoys her freedom.
In short, there is not much time for the family to get together. Perhaps it is precisely because of the lack of gathering and leaving more that the family cherishes the time together. When a family is together, this family is complete!
Xu Haibao's parents, who came home from work, saw that the two siblings were purchasing a lot of so-called New Year's goods, and they still felt that their son was spending money a little indiscriminately. But seeing that everything was bought for them, I still felt very relieved.
Even if they are nagging and spending money, they are still very happy when they look at the new clothes their children have bought. As a parent, who doesn't want their children to be filial? Whether you have money or not, filial piety is the most important thing.
In recent years, there has been no shortage of news about being rich but not filial to their parents. Therefore, for many parents who have worked hard to bring up their children, perhaps their expectations are small, that is, they hope that their children can be filial, so that they feel that their hard work is not in vain.
It is rare for a family to get together, and it is natural that the embellishment of food is indispensable. Looking at the fish and shrimp that were steamed out of the pot and served on the table again, Xu Haibao's parents, who had tasted the delicious fish and shrimp before, still looked a little impatient.
Just looking at her daughter who had just come home, Mother Xu was still very concerned and said, "Xiaoya, try this fish, it tastes really good!"
"Well, thank you, Mom, you can eat too!"
knows that her parents love her, but Xu Qingya is not a three-year-old child, and she knows that it is more delicious to share good things with her parents. While eating the fish from her mother, she did not forget to pick up the fish for her parents.
On the contrary, Xu Haibao, who was sitting on the side, said with a smile and a cry: "Dad, Mom, you spoil Xiaoya like this, when she gets married in the future, I will see what you will do! She is so big, you still give her fish!"
"Hehe, Dad, Mom, Brother is jealous! Big brother of the villain, you take care of yourself first! Even if I want to marry someone in the future, I will definitely be behind you. When are you going to find me a sister-in-law?"
Facing Xu Qingya, who was sharp-toothed and sharp-mouthed, Xu Haibao, who was really cowardly, also grabbed a piece of fish like a dog leg and said: "Xiaoya, eat fish!"
Such a dog-legged image made Xu's father and Xu mother a little crying and laughing. It's just that seeing their children grow up and love each other as they did when they were children, the two still feel very gratified. After all, everything is good at home!
As everyone started eating, Xu Qingya, who loved to eat but was thrifty and reluctant to eat, sighed and said: "Brother, this fish is really too fresh! Such a wild big grouper is really delicious! It's so delicious!"
"Okay, you can eat more if it's delicious! I'll fish for you when you get back to the village in a few days." There is a big steamer in my hometown, and if you catch a big grouper, we will use a big steamer to steam, and you will definitely have enough to eat. ”
Hearing Xu Haibao's words, Xu's father also said in a timely manner: "Baowa, are you going back to the village for the New Year?"
"Yes! Dad, the third uncle should have called you, right? The third uncle also said last time I came back, you and your mother have only been back to Qingming this year, and you haven't been back to the village for the New Year for a few years. Don't you want to go home for the New Year?
In two days, I plan to take Xiaoya back first, and ask the mason to renovate the old house and get the bathroom and shower room ready. In this case, going home is similar to staying in the city. Celebrating the New Year in the city, I think although it is lively, there is no New Year's flavor. ”
"Xiaoya, are you going back too?"
"Well, I want to go back to the village to see, if my brother can really get the bathroom and water heater right, then I will wait in the village for the New Year. Speaking of which, my family hasn't been back to the village for the Chinese New Year for a long time, and I don't know anyone in the village anymore. ”
Regarding returning to their hometown for the New Year, the brother and sister have reached an agreement. Seeing that his children had decided to go back to the village for the New Year, Xu Liyan naturally would not object. For Xu Liyan, if he chooses to retire, he feels that he is still comfortable staying in the village.
Going to work in the city is more for the sake of children. Now that his children are older, Xu Liyan feels that he will work for a few more years, and wait for his son to get married and start a family. He quit his current job and took his wife back to his hometown to care for the elderly, which was quieter.
Now that Xu Haibao has made a decision, Xu Liyan knows that it costs a lot of money to renovate the old house. But since his son has this plan, he can also make it more comfortable for his family to go back to live, how can he refuse!
It's just that he still confessed: "Baowa, you are not young, and you have your own proportions and ideas for doing things." But I still hope that you will be more cautious in your spending. There's some money you shouldn't spend, you have to save some money, you know?"
"Yes, I know!"
It's still the same as last time, the two plates of fish and shrimp have been wiped out. After eating her own fish and shrimp, Xu Qingya suddenly felt that the fish and shrimp she had eaten before could not be compared at all. But she was still curious, why did the fish and shrimp taste so good?
In the end, Xu Qingya, who really couldn't figure it out, could only attribute the deliciousness of fish and shrimp to the wild, plus her brother's cooking skills. But in Xu Haibao, his cooking skills can only be regarded as average, and there is nothing different at all.
What really makes the family reluctant is the taste of the ingredients themselves. And this delicacy, in Xu Haibao's view, will surely attract many food lovers from all over the world over time.
Even the truly superb delicacy is still only available to a few people. But Xu Haibao believes that after the offshore fishing grounds are developed in the future, the quality of the seafood nourished in the nameless pearl will be better than that of the wild.
After a night's rest, his parents went to work as usual, while Xu Haibao took his sister to Donghua Restaurant to return the car. Seeing Chen Xingcheng's dog-legged appearance in front of Xu Qingya, Xu Haibao warned Chen Xingcheng to stay away from his sister from time to time.
Every time he looked at Xu Haibao's vigilant look, Chen Xingcheng was also very depressed and said: "Brother Bao, you are an M controller!"
"Control you M! What kind of idea do you kid have, do you think I can't see it? I'm just a baby sister, I don't feel sorry for anyone. What's more, who doesn't know that your kid is in Baohai, and you can be known as a plum in the night market!"
"Fart, wronged! Brother Bao, after returning from the army, I can count the number of times I go to the night game, I can count it on one hand, I have really changed my mind, you just give me a chance!"
"Give me a chance! You dare to play tricks on my sister, be careful of your third leg!"
"Hmph, Brother Bao, you are a dead M control, you have a sister and no humanity!"
Perhaps in the eyes of many people, if my sister can marry into the Chen family, it will undoubtedly be a high climb. But in Xu Haibao's opinion, he wants to decide his marriage for himself. Xu Qingya's love, he still hopes that his sister will choose and decide by herself.
At least as far as the current situation is concerned, Xu Qingya's impression of Chen Xingcheng is average. What's more, as the only heir of Donghua Restaurant in the future. Chen Xingcheng's marriage, in many cases, may not be up to him.
Just when the two were playing tricks, Xu Qingya said in a timely manner: "Brother, what are you talking about with Brother Cheng?
"How dare we! Okay, the car is back to you, and we're going shopping. What about you! Be your young leader!"
Xu Haibao, who didn't stay in Donghua Restaurant for long, talked to Chen Xingcheng for a few words, and then took his sister to continue shopping and shopping. I decided to go back to the village, so I naturally needed to buy more things to go back.
When she walked around until noon, Xu Qingya looked at the time and suddenly said, "Brother, let's find a place to eat first!"
"Okay, what do you want to eat for lunch?"
Because their parents don't come home at noon, and the two siblings don't want to go home to start a meal, it is undoubtedly the easiest to solve a meal outside. In the matter of eating, Xu Haibao naturally asked his sister's opinion, but he didn't know that this meal was destined to be endless.
When Xu Haibao watched his sister walk into a tea restaurant that operated Western food, he said with a little puzzlement: "Xiaoya, if you want to eat Western food, you should also go to a Western restaurant to eat! This kind of tea restaurant, Western food is not authentic, right?"
"Brother, the steak in this tea restaurant is very good, you will know when you eat it!"
But not long after walking into the tea restaurant, I watched Xu Qingya hugging and laughing with a girl. From the girl's face, Xu Haibao, who remembered who this girl was, quickly realized that he had fallen into the trap of his own little sister.
Even if he guessed correctly, accompanying Xu Qingya to go shopping today is more of an excuse. The real core thing is to meet this girl in this tea restaurant. And this matter is estimated to be indispensable to the arrangement of his mother.
"In order to introduce myself to a blind date, my mother is really good-hearted!"
Xu Haibao, who was muttering to himself in his heart, looked at the girl with a somewhat unnatural expression, and could only smile and say: "Xin Yuan, I haven't seen you for a long time! I haven't seen you for a few years, you are really a female college student eighteen changes!"
"Brother Haibao, hello! I heard my mother say that you came back from the army, I haven't seen you for a few years, and the style of the year is still the same!"
From the brief verbal exchange between the two, it is not difficult to hear that the two were very familiar in their early years. It's just that more than five years have passed, and they have become a little more alienated from each other. After all, five years is enough time to change a lot of things!
