Chapter 135: Meet the Parents
Chen Xu said to Zhang Dawei: "I still don't go to your house for dinner, the two of us have just started to get along, and it's embarrassing to go so rashly." Let's go again when you have the right opportunity in the future! Unexpectedly, Zhang Dawei said anxiously: "That's not good, if you don't go, my mother will talk about me." In order for you to go to dinner, my mother has been preparing since yesterday and bought a lot of things, and our family doesn't cook so much for the New Year. ”
Chen Xu looked at Zhang Dawei in a daze for a moment, and finally decided to go to his house, she found that she didn't know Zhang Dawei so much, but wanted to see what kind of family could raise such a child, didn't it mean that the children of the poor were in charge early?
Chen Xu took the bus home with Zhang Dawei, and when he was about to arrive at his house, Chen Xu suddenly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, I'll buy some fruit!" Zhang Dawei followed Chen Xu to the fruit shop next to him, and when she asked Zhang Dawei what fruits his parents liked to eat, Zhang Dawei couldn't say anything, only that they didn't eat much fruit. Chen Xu had no choice but to buy some seasonal fruits on his own initiative, which was a bit heavy to carry, but Zhang Dawei led the way in front and didn't seem to have the intention of helping. Chen Xu couldn't help frowning, thinking that this was really without eyes!
came to the door of Zhang Dawei's house, Zhang Dawei took out the key, opened the door, went in first and shouted, "Mom, Chen Xu is here." Chen Xu followed him with a lot of things. When Zhang's mother heard the shouting, she hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, and when she saw Chen Xu, she clapped her hands and said, "Oh, Chen Xu, come in." As he spoke, he took the things in Chen Xu's hand and said a very classic sentence, "Come on, what to buy?" Chen Xu suddenly wanted to laugh. At this time, Zhang Dawei's father also came over, Zhang Dawei did not introduce her, Chen Xu was a little embarrassed, so he had to bite the bullet and say, "Uncle and aunt are good." Mother Zhang kept letting in, Chen Xu saw that there was a small table in the narrow living room, which was full of dishes, Chen Xu believed Zhang Dawei's words, his family's Chinese New Year's Eve dinner may not be so rich.
Mother Zhang hurriedly asked Chen Xu to sit down at the table and said, "You sit down for a while, and the dish will be ready immediately." Chen Xu looked around, this is a small two-bedroom apartment, the house is very small, about 50 square meters, there are two bedrooms and a bathroom, a small balcony and a small hall for the kitchen, the kitchen is cooked, and others can't get in, because the kitchen itself is too small, and there are cabinets inside, so you can barely allow one person to turn around. Chen Xu felt that he was in a dream today, so he followed someone to watch a movie in a daze, and inexplicably followed someone to meet his parents. Zhang Dawei sat at the table, reached out and grabbed a ball from a plate and threw it in his mouth. Chen Xu looked at him a little speechlessly, and at this time, Father Zhang looked back and said, "Dawei, what are you doing?" There are guests! Zhang Dawei smiled and picked up another ball, and handed it to Chen Xu's mouth, "You taste it!" My mother's fried meatballs are delicious. Chen Xu hurriedly hid back, "You can eat it yourself!" ”
Chen Xu was in a trance for a while, and he couldn't say how he felt. Mother Zhang made the last dish and brought it to the table, and hurriedly divided the dishes and chopsticks, and kept letting Chen Xu, "Hurry up and eat, hurry up and move the chopsticks, the dishes will be cold for a while." There is only a stove at home, cooking slowly, cooking too much, and the front cooking is cold. ”
Chen Xu stood up and said, "I'll wash my hands first." When he came back after washing his hands, he found that Zhang Dawei had already eaten with chopsticks, and he shouted Chen Xu vaguely with food in his mouth, "Hurry up and eat, my mother's cooking is delicious." "Chen Xu is a little awkward, and he feels too disrespectful. The first time he came to the door, Zhang Dawei ate it without waiting for himself. Zhang's father and Zhang's mother were still standing and kept greeting Chen Xu, "Come and sit down and eat." Zhang's mother also seemed to think that it was wrong for Zhang Dawei to move the chopsticks first, so she quickly explained, "Dawei is hungry, he got up late in the morning, and he didn't eat breakfast in order to pick you up." Chen Xu had no choice but to sit down, and if you come, you can be safe! Zhang's father took out a bottle of wine and asked Chen Xu if he would drink, Chen Xu shook his head. Father Zhang was not polite, poured it for himself, and poured himself a drink.
Zhang's mother didn't eat a few bites of this meal, and kept busy helping Chen Xu with vegetables, and Chen Xu was also very full. After eating, Chen Xu wanted to help clean up the dishes and chopsticks, but Zhang's mother hurriedly held it down and said, "No need, no need, it's good for me to come alone, the kitchen is small, and there are too many people to turn around." At this time, Zhang's father burped without any image, and then picked up a security uniform and went out. Zhang Dawei pulled Chen Xu up to his room to sit. Chen Xu took a closer look at the house by the way, the master bedroom is facing the sun, there is a double bed and wardrobe, and the small bedroom opposite is where Zhang Dawei lives, there is only a one-meter-two bed in it, a computer desk, and a chair, and the room is almost full. Zhang Dawei asked Chen Xu to sit on the chair and sit on the bed by himself. He looked at Chen Xu and said with a smile: "Chen Xu, I can't believe that you are my girlfriend." I just went to college and paid attention to you the day I reported, and you stood in front of me. At that time, I thought that my hometown was so good-looking, if only I could have such a girlfriend, but I didn't expect that after four years, my dream would come true. That's nice. ”
Chen Xu was speechless for a while. Mother Zhang finished cleaning up the kitchen and asked Chen Xu to sit in the hall. Because the hall is relatively small, there is no sofa, and he can only sit around the dining table, Chen Xu sat facing the kitchen, and found that the leftovers at noon were placed on the kitchen stove one by one. Mother Zhang poured Chen Xu a cup of tea and said, "If I'm not afraid of your jokes, I'm like a dream, I can't believe it's true, that day Dawei came back and said that he had a girlfriend, and he was still the most beautiful girl in the class." The work is okay, I work in the procuratorate, I really can't believe it, and later I asked someone to inquire, and it turned out that what he said was not a lie. Chen Xu, thank you for not disliking my poor family, our Dawei has been very good at studying since he was a child, and we have never had to worry about learning, our family is poor, and I didn't make up a few classes when I was in high school, and the make-up classes are too expensive. But fortunately, Dawei is angry, and when he holds a college banquet, it is called raising his eyebrows. The children of this relative and the neighbor are not as good as Dawei, what use can they have money, the child is not angry! ”
Chen Xu couldn't interject, so he smiled. Zhang's mother continued: "Chen Xu, you are a good boy, you don't like the poor and love the rich. But don't worry, although our family doesn't have any money, marrying into our family guarantees that you won't regret it. You don't have to do anything when you come to our house, and when you have children in the future, I'll take them. When the time comes, you don't have to worry about cooking and washing clothes. Now this house is a little smaller, when Dawei and his grandmother died, he left a bungalow, and the area is about to be demolished, and when it is demolished, I will ask you for a bigger house, and then you will get married. ”
Zhang Dawei sat next to him, yawning incessantly, Zhang's mother glanced at him and said, "What time did you play the game last night?" Let you go to bed early, it's not disobedient", as he was talking, he suddenly remembered Chen Xu next to him, and quickly changed his words and said, "Oh, my mouth." David is learning too late. Chen Xu still smiled and didn't speak, she felt that she had nothing to say.
Zhang's mother is still making up for the gaffe just now, "Dawei, this kid knows in his heart, and he doesn't have to worry about others in his studies." In the future, there will be more opportunities for the provincial and national examinations! Chen Xu, don't worry, Dawei will definitely be admitted. The two of you are students in the same class, and you should know that David is not bad at studying. Chen Xu doesn't want to debunk Zhang Dawei, he is addicted to games and often fails courses, so it's good to get a graduation certificate.
Zhang's mother was chattering about Zhang Dawei's former glory again, and as she spoke, Chen Xu felt a little sleepy, she felt that this was simply hypnosis. Zhang Dawei yawned a few times in a row, as if it was infected to Chen Xu, and Chen Xu desperately resisted the urge to yawn. After a while, Zhang Dawei went back to his room.
In the afternoon, without waiting for Chen Xu to speak, he learned about Zhang Dawei's family. Zhang's mother told the situation at home like pouring beans into a bamboo tube. Both of them were laid-off workers when they were young, and after being laid off, Zhang's father has been working as a security guard, and Zhang's mother has worked as a variety of odd workers. Zhang's mother said: "Don't look at our family is not rich, Dawei has never suffered since he was a child, and he will eat whatever is good." He never had to work, as long as he studied and competed. Chen Xu, don't look at him now, he is studying now, I spent more than 30,000 yuan to register him for a class, and he can be admitted. You have to believe me, he can't go wrong, he will definitely be able to get in! The two of you graduated from a school, a student in a class, you study well and he is not bad at studying, although he didn't pass the exam last time, he will definitely be able to do it next time. When you two get married, you can leave everything to me. I have taken care of the cooking and the children, so you two can go to work with peace of mind. ”
Chen Xu suddenly felt pity for Zhang's mother, and she was talking about what she thought was a bright future for Chen Xu. It is not difficult to see that this is a hard-working and dedicated mother, but doing everything for Zhang Dawei has become a mother. Chen Xu finally couldn't help yawning, and she said goodbye: "Auntie, I still have to go back to Beicheng to see my grandmother, so I won't bother." Good bye! ”
Zhang's mother said: "You eat here at night, there are so many dishes left at noon!" Chen Xu shook his head, "No, my grandmother is old, if I don't go back, she will be disappointed." Thank you Auntie for your hospitality today, you are so polite, in fact, you don't have to cook so many dishes, it's too expensive. While speaking, Zhang's mother hurriedly took out a red envelope from her pocket, handed it to Chen Xu and said, "Oops, I almost forgot, you had to give a red envelope the first time." Chen Xu excused himself and said: "Auntie, you really don't need it, how can you even eat and hold it, it's already embarrassing for you to make such a big table of dishes, and you don't need red envelopes." Mother Zhang had a lot of strength, and desperately stuffed the red envelope into Chen Xu's pocket. Chen Xu was very helpless, she really regretted going home with Zhang Dawei today, she had a strong intuition that the two of them had no future. She walked to the door of the small bedroom and wanted to say goodbye to Zhang Dawei, but saw that he was playing a game in full swing, and Chen Xu was ready to leave without saying hello to him.
When Chen Xu was about to come out, Zhang's mother hurriedly called Zhang Dawei, "Dawei, Chen Xu is going back, hurry up and send it." Zhang Dawei woke up like a dream and ran out to send Chen Xu. Chen Xu stretched out his hand to stop him and said, "No need to send it, I'll just take the car back by myself, you can study hard at home!" Saying that, he left without looking back, and Zhang Dawei really didn't come out to see him off.
Chen Xu sat on the bus and suddenly smiled helplessly. Can I break up right away? ate a large table of dishes carefully prepared by others, and received a red envelope from others. She hasn't opened the red envelope yet, and she doesn't know how much money she has. However, in terms of his family's economic conditions, the dishes on that table alone were simply a feast. Chen Xu really had a headache, feeling that the consequences of his impulsiveness appeared so quickly. Chen Xu can reject Yan Donglin categorically without a little psychological burden, but in the face of Zhang Dawei's hard-working mother, he is a little unbearable. Along the way, Chen Xu was wondering why this was happening. Thinking about it, Chen Xu couldn't quite understand, maybe he was from the bottom, so he couldn't bear to let Zhang's mother's hopes be dashed so soon.
