Chapter 120: Meet the Parents
I grabbed Pei Jingyao's palm, and then knocked lightly on the door, after I knocked on the door, the noise inside stopped abruptly, I don't know why, this atmosphere is very solemn, and before I see it, it overwhelms me.
The one who opened the door was my second aunt, I had seen it before, she was not bad, a very kind middle-aged woman, I heard that my grandfather's health was not very good in recent years, so she simply lived in my grandfather's house, three meals a day, and the responsibility of taking care of my grandfather was on him.
"Yo, it's Ozawa, come in, come in, your uncle and uncle are waiting here at eight o'clock in the morning, I'm afraid of missing you." The second aunt was so happy to see me, she immediately took my hand and walked to the door, I looked around and wiped ...... The living room is not big, but it is full of people.
When they saw me, they all stared at me with an indescribable gaze, and they looked at me with a little hairy behind my back.
It just gives me the feeling that their eyes seem to be able to see through......
I stood in the middle of the living room, handed over all the things in my hand to my second aunt without smiling, and turned to look at Li Pengfei and Pei Jingyao, and said, "Second aunt, this is Li Pengfei, you came to my house when you were a child, and this one, that ...... Hehe, this is my girlfriend......"
When I said the word girlfriend, I was still a little embarrassed, probably because the development was too rapid, but who made me agree to the second aunt, besides, I think everyone is very busy, and it is not easy to find time to fall in love.
Pei Jingyao said to her second aunt generously: "Hello, my name is Pei Jingyao, and I didn't know what to buy when we met for the first time, so I accompanied Ye Ze to buy some things at the door......"
"Oh, you can come is the biggest gift for us, I can call you Yaoyao, right? Sit down, sit down...... Zelin, hurry up and call your grandfather out, just say that Xiao Ze and his girlfriend have come to see him......" The second aunt took two large plastic bags from Pei Jingyao's hands and put them on the table, and then pulled Pei Jingyao to sit down ecstatically.
Li Pengfei and I also sat awkwardly on the side, and then took the tea brought to me by my second aunt and kept looking at them silently, I don't like lively places, and even hate lively places, and I especially don't like people staring at me, except for the eldest girl, so in this atmosphere, Li Pengfei and I seem particularly incompatible.
And Pei Jingyao has been chatting with her second aunt, she is comfortable with it, and the words she said also seem to have a very high emotional intelligence, so Li Pengfei said in my ear that I chose the right girlfriend, this woman is quite suitable for me, I glanced at him and said Do you want to say this?
After a while, a hairy boy who seemed to be only eighteen or nineteen years old came out of the room next to him, looked at his second aunt and said, "Grandpa said that you will call him when you eat in a while...... He also said that he would let my cousin get to know you first. ”
The second aunt nodded awkwardly, then took my hand and said with a smile: "Xiao Ze, your grandfather is this temper, he loves face, he will come out in a while, you just follow what he said, they are all a family, there is no hurdle that cannot be passed......"
In the next ten minutes, the second aunt introduced me to the left and right people present, they all seemed to get along very well, and every time they introduced one, they would find a red envelope in their pocket and hand it to Pei Jingyao, the second aunt said that this is our family custom, but who can tell me that those red envelopes for Mao finally went into Pei Jingyao's pocket?
I have to say that there are too many people in the Ye family, and when the last one is introduced, Pei Jingyao's red envelope in her hand will be held with both hands, this time, my eyes are red when I see it, you know, I am now a twenty-four K pure gold poor egg, and the total amount on my body is only six hundred yuan, of which five hundred yuan is still taken from Li Pengfei's hand.
After a while, Grandpa came out of the room, holding two thick red envelopes in trembling hands.
He was an old man in his nineties, with white hair, wrinkled eyes, and wrinkled scars, and I remember that my grandfather had three scars on his face, all from the previous war.
He stubbornly leaned on crutches, refused to be supported by anyone, trembling and trembling in front of me, and then raised his head and looked at me carefully, at that time, I held my breath, to be honest, although grandpa is old, but that kind of soldier's gaze, but will never change, I hate this kind of gaze, perseverance, strong, because people with this kind of gaze, do things often domineering.
"Dad, come and see, this is Ye Ze, Ah Zheng's son, he is already so old, and he looks like ......"
"She looks much more handsome than Ah Zheng, I don't know why, I hate it when I see these eyes, I said, fortune telling, that woman Kefu, Kenu, Ah Zheng just doesn't listen, hum...... This is my red envelope for the two of you, after eating, you can go......" Grandpa finished looking, glanced at Pei Jingyao and Li Pengfei again, and then turned around and slowly sat on the chairman's seat.
I silently turned around and sat behind him, when he talked about that woman, the anger in my heart was already rising, yes, the two women I cared about the most in the first half of my life were dead, and the woman he was talking about was my mother, heh, if he wasn't my grandfather, I would have had a good theory with him.
Pei Jingyao held my hand the whole time, and when I wanted to refute what my grandfather said, she always pulled my arm and shook her head at me.
When it was time to start the meal, I sat around a table with them, and the second aunt made more than a dozen dishes, chicken, duck, fish, pork belly soup, and a few special dishes of Zhejiang Province, and a hot pot in the middle.
Not to mention the braised pork, as soon as the braised pork was served, Pei Jingyao's face was about to turn pale, I think she may have remembered the 612 case back then.
I deliberately stuffed a piece of braised pork into my mouth, and said with enjoyment: "Well, it's delicious, second aunt, you can really go to be a chef, come, third uncle, you can taste it too......"
After that, I picked up the plate of braised pork and put it in front of the third uncle, which made the third uncle very happy, and he had to have a glass of wine with me, but in desperation, I could only accompany him for a small glass.
"Girl, where are you from? Are your parents still there? What for? How long have you known Ye Ze? Suddenly, Grandpa looked up at Pei Jingyao beside me and said with a serious face.
Pei Jingyao raised her head, looked at her grandfather's cheeks, and then nodded with a smile and said, "Grandpa, I am a listed person, my parents are now in Jiashi, and Ye Ze is a colleague......
Grandpa squinted, nodded, and continued to ask, "Also a policeman?" Well, the profession of a police officer is good and upright, but both of you are police officers, so what should you do if you have a child in the future? Lost to your parents? Or is one of the two of you quitting her job to take care of the kids at home? ”
She glanced at me, then took my left hand tightly and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, in my heart, nothing is more important than a complete family......
Her words completely warmed me, even if I knew, what she said was just to deal with my grandfather's words.
Grandpa nodded with satisfaction, raised his chopsticks tremblingly and put a piece of hoof meat into Pei Jingyao's bowl, and said appreciatively: "Well, it's a good boy." ”
I exhaled a cold breath, and it seemed that she had successfully penetrated inside.
"Didi ......"
"Didi ......"
Suddenly, the mobile phones of the two of us rang at the same time, mine rang twice, and when I took out my mobile phone to see, one was a group message, and the other was Li Mingyu's WeChat message.
I opened Li Mingyu's WeChat pop-up box, frowned suddenly, looked up and looked at Pei Jingyao beside me, put the phone on the table, and said apologetically to the uncles and elders in front of me: "I'm really sorry, the bureau is urgent, grandpa, I'm afraid I won't be able to accompany you to dinner today......"
"Here, if you have something to eat, you have to eat before leaving, it's not a ...... for this time," the second aunt interjected with chopsticks.
I looked at Pei Jingyao with some embarrassment, only to see Pei Jingyao sitting on the seat generously, smiling and putting a piece of white chopped chicken with chopsticks in grandpa's bowl, and said, "It's okay, it's the biggest to eat with grandpa." ”
This sentence made Grandpa laugh, and immediately waved his hand at Pei Jingyao, and said with a smile: "Hahaha, I haven't seen this interesting girl for a long time, okay, okay, I know that you young people are in a hurry, Yingzi, pack some food for them and take them back to eat, little girl, remember to come and see grandpa more, and when the time comes, grandpa will tell you about Ye Ze when he was a child." ”
