Chapter 371: I admit it, I started first
The second aunt walked over, grabbed Zhou Ning's arm, looked up and down, and helped him tidy up the collar of the short-sleeved police uniform, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Xiao Ning is handsome, wearing this looks more temperamental, let's go, remember to sit halfway in the chair, hide three points in your talk, don't just talk about work, talk more about Momo's childhood anecdotes, when your parents like to talk about this, you have to listen carefully, express your feelings like cute."
Zhou Ning nodded like garlic, not daring to talk about heroes.
Before he came, he wasn't too nervous, but now he asked his second aunt to explain, and suddenly realized the feeling that He Shancun was hesitating downstairs when he went to his house.
Saying goodbye to the second aunt, Zhou Ning drove on the road, and soon came to the compound of the Municipal Party Committee on Lanzhou West Road.
"Hello, I'm going to Mayor Xia's house, do I need to register?"
The security guard smiled at Zhou Ning, checked the register, and then raised the lifting lever.
"No, just go in directly, Mayor Xia has already sent someone to register, you are Director Zhou, just go in, Building 3, go in from the main entrance, see the second intersection and turn left, unit 101."
Zhou Ning nodded gratefully, started the car, honked the horn, and entered the community directly, the houses in the community are not high, and the surface looks a little old, some green plants climb all over the outer walls of the building, and the greening is quite good.
didn't dare to observe more, according to the guidance of the security guard, Zhou Ning turned directly to Building 3, he was the front of the car facing north into the parking space, after all, there are so many things in the trunk, no different from the supermarket.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Xia Momo standing at the door of a unit, a long yellow skirt, a little pink on her face, and her long hair curly and loosely draped over her shoulders, smiling and waving at Zhou Ning.
"According to your personality, it's not easy to come so early."
Zhou Ning was a little embarrassed and coughed.
"The second aunt is persecuted, if I don't listen, she will keep chattering and can't stop, so she just set off early, why are you waiting outside?"
"The security guard is calling, the safety of living here is the most secure, whoever comes to someone's house, the phone will notify you as soon as possible, so I came out to pick you up, I'm afraid you will be nervous."
Zhou Ning exhaled and opened the trunk.
"Don't say it, I'm still really nervous, you open the door, the second aunt let me take a bit of a lot of gifts, don't do it, just open the door for me."
Xia Momo glanced at the trunk of Zhou Ning's car and widened her eyes in surprise.
"These?"
Zhou Ning nodded.
"It's still a stop, put away a part, I see what the second aunt means, I need to drive a truck over, don't say I'll move things first."
As he spoke, Zhou Ning handed the gift slip to Xia Momo, and began to move things to the door of the unit one by one, tossing five times, Zhou Ning's sweat had come down, and the sweat of the police uniform short-sleeved was wet with a large patch.
Xia Momo wiped him with a tissue, stretched out his hand to open the door of the room, but was stopped by Zhou Ning.
"Don't worry, let me catch my breath."
Before the words fell, the door was opened from the inside, and a middle-aged beautiful woman who was seven points similar to Xia Momo poked her head out, and laughed directly when she saw Zhou Ning.
"Zhou Ning is not here, I heard a sound of talking outside, come in!"
Zhou Ning looked nervous, hurriedly bowed down, and then lowered his head to hug the things on the ground, Xia Mu found that there were various gift boxes in the corridor, and she was also dumbfounded, and quickly opened all the doors and helped move them together.
"You kid, it's okay if people come, how can you take so many things, is this emptying the supermarket?"
Zhou Ning smiled embarrassedly, he found that the second aunt's trick was good, at least it could relieve the embarrassment, and took Xia Momo's tissue and wiped the sweat again.
"Hello Auntie, this is the door-to-door ceremony that my second aunt prepared for me, I also saw Uncle Xia last time, and it can be regarded as a formal relationship, so the first time I come to the door, I have to be courteous."
Xia Momo slapped the gift slip in Xia Mu's hand, turned around and closed the door.
"Mom, you can't let Zhou Ning stand and talk at the door, right?"
Xia's mother slapped Xia Momo, the girl was outgoing, and she didn't say much else.
"Come in, go to the living room and sit, your Uncle Xia went to the study to make a call, and he will come out immediately."
Zhou Ning smiled and nodded, and came to the living room with Xia Momo, thinking of the second aunt's reminder in his mind, don't be a single sofa at home, sit with Xia Momo, people are in the upper position, be polite.
When he arrived in the living room, he saw that there were single sofas all around, and Zhou Ning was dumbfounded.
Grass, how are you sitting?
Zhou Ning stopped suddenly, Xia Momo was defenseless, and hit Zhou Ning's back directly, covering her forehead and looking at Zhou Ning in confusion.
"Why don't you stop, sit down and sweat."
Zhou Ning saw that Xia Mu didn't come, so he hurriedly asked in a low voice:
"When I went out, the second aunt told me not to sit on the single sofa and sit with you, but these are all single sofas in your house, which one is the guest sitting?"
Xia Momo couldn't help laughing directly, Zhou Ning became even more nervous, grabbed Xia Momo's wrist, and shook it twice.
"Don't laugh, I'll get down to business!"
Xia Momo stopped laughing, pointed to a chair with a blue pillow and said:
"My dad likes to sit here, you can sit next to you, I'll sit with you!"
Zhou Ning nodded, walked over with satisfaction, half of his butt was on the chair, and he kept sighing in his heart, the second aunt and Lao He were the ones who came over, and these arrangements told him, not to mention, were used.
In this panicked environment, nervous mood, and the brain is completely down, it is not easy to be ashamed to have such a preview and drill in advance.
After waiting for a while, Xia Shouchang walked out of the study, and saw Zhou Ning in the living room walking over with a smile, and of course he also saw the things placed in the hallway.
Zhou Ning quickly stood up and nodded to Xia Shouchang to say hello.
"Hello Uncle Xia!"
"Zhou Ning is here, sit down, don't be restrained, but why did you take so many things, I don't know, I still think that I have to go to our house to give gifts?"
Mother Xia came over at this time, put the teacup in front of the two, and a large plate of fruit, and when she handed the teacup to Father Xia, she gave him a blank look and said comfortingly.
"You say that, how nervous is the child, this is not your government office, don't talk to the family, and the gift giver can get in?
】
Zhou Ning don't listen to your Uncle Xia, drink tea and eat fruits, go back and thank you for me, Aunt Er, this also attaches too much importance to our family, and we received it. ”
Zhou Ning smiled, blew the air conditioner for a while, it seemed that the sweat on his body was counted, and he really liked Xia Mu's maintenance, maybe because of Xia Momo.
"Since I was a child, I have lived with my second uncle and aunt and grandfather, and my grandfather said that this matter is for the second aunt Zhang Luo, after all, I don't understand this, and I have no experience, so if I can't do it, you can bear more."
Xia Mu smiled from ear to ear, glanced at the time, and hurriedly ran towards the kitchen, turning around and dropping a sentence in the middle.
"I have meat stewed in the pot, you can chat with Uncle Xia, just treat it as your own home, don't be restrained, dislike your Uncle Xia is serious, just go back to the room with Momo to chat, I'll call you when the meal is ready."
Xia Shouchang shook his head and smiled helplessly.
In this meeting, Xia Shouchang completely lost the seriousness of the last time, Zhou Ning understood that it was an ultimatum, and it was also to force himself to make a statement, if Zhou Ning refused, he might not really see Xia Momo in the future.
Looking back at this time, it was really not impulsive at that time, some likes were moisturizing things silently, he seemed to Xia Momo like this, not vigorous, but if he couldn't see it in the future, it would be as if his heart had been hollowed out.
"Does Zhou Ning know how to play chess? How about we make the next dish and wait for your aunt to cook? ”
Zhou Ning retracted his thoughts and quickly stood up.
"Yes, I just accompany my grandfather to play chess occasionally, and your skills are not good, as long as you don't dislike it."
Xia Shouchang waved his hand and went to the study with Zhou Ning, Xia Momo sent the teacup to the two, looked at it for a while and felt bored, got up and came to the kitchen.
As soon as she entered, Xia Mu dragged Xia Momo to the window and closed the door tightly.
"I can see it, Zhou Ning's family attaches great importance to it, have you been to Zhou's house before, and how do they treat you?"
Xia Momo raised her chin, looked like a little girl, and said arrogantly:
"I sent a special product to see Grandpa Zhou, the last time I recruited graduate students for the screening examination, I also went to Xiaoqu once, Grandpa Zhou called me up at the window, and the second aunt specially rushed back to stay for us to eat, and made me several dessert dishes, Grandpa Zhou and the second uncle and aunt liked me very much."
Xia Mu raised her hand and poked Xia Momo's head, gritted her teeth and said:
"Dead girl, I knew that you had been thinking about Zhou Ning for a long time, otherwise you would have been able to go so many times and still have a good impression in front of other people's families."
Xia Momo didn't twist and be shy at all, and said very seriously:
"In the studio, I liked Zhou Ning for the first time, so handsome, elegant talking, not vulgar at all, even in order to learn to paint with me, just this seriousness, how similar to my father, of course I have to start early, otherwise I can't tell who will go to the door now."
"Dead girl, you are not ashamed, this is on your lips?"
Xia Momo tendoned her nose and hugged Xia's mother.
"Didn't you also take a fancy to my dad first, he was a poor and white student at the time, and he stole the household registration book from his family, and he came directly to cut it first and then play, I was already very restrained, anyway, it's up to you."
Xia Momo slapped Xia Mu, and both of them laughed.
After a busy meal, the dishes were also on the table, Xia Mu slapped her thighs and hurriedly glanced at Xia Momo.
"Stupid, you go to the study to see these two masters, your father is a rectum, Zhou Ning is not a flexible person, he won't play chess, right?"
When Xia Mu said this, Xia Momo was also a little worried.
wiped his hands, hurriedly walked to the study, knocked on the door, there was no movement inside, quickly pushed it open and walked in, Zhou Ning's hand hung on the chessboard, as if thinking about how to fall, Father Xia was holding a teacup on the side, looking at it with a smile.
Seeing Xia Momo coming in, he hurriedly waved his hand.
"How's the meal ready?"
