Chapter 47: A Happy Trial
All the way, I silently prayed in my heart that the speed would be slower and the road would be longer. But no matter how long the road is, there will eventually be an end, and no matter how slow the speed is, it will run the whole way.
When the car came to a steady stop, my heart suddenly jumped.
I'm trying to calm myself down
My aunt reminded me at the right time: "Xiaoyuan, here, this is my sister and brother-in-law's home." ”
As soon as my aunt's words fell, I saw a pair of middle-aged men and women appear next to the car, and I didn't need them to introduce me, and I already recognized that this must be Yaoyao's parents.
Because this Yaoyao looks so similar to her mother, it is simply carved out of a mold, but there are obvious traces of erosion on her mother's body.
Dad is tall and burly, with a square face, sword eyebrows and starry eyes, and a well-proportioned figure. Although it has been several years since I changed jobs, the military breath on my body is still blowing towards me through the car window.
Yaoyao took the lead in pulling the car door and jumped out with Tingting in her arms, and her mother naturally took Tingting and kissed her little face twice.
"Dad, Mom, why did you come down?"
"Your dad got up in the morning and sat down on the window to look at it all morning, so he just came down and waited for you."
"Who is lying on the window, aren't you anxious to see your daughter's boyfriend pulling me down?"
Dad was angry and grabbed the white road, it seemed that his mother had broken his careful thoughts, and he was a little annoyed.
Seeing this, I didn't dare to slack off, so I quickly pushed the car door and got out, and came to stand in front of them.
"Hello uncle and aunt, my name is Xiao Yuan. You can call me Xiaoyuan, our parents call me that. ”
This is the opening statement I practiced at home for a week, and although I was nervous, I was able to make it clear.
With the experience of the morning, this time I didn't bow, just stood in front of them. They looked me up and down for a long time, just like my aunt and uncle in the morning.
However, their half a day has grown much longer than the half day of my aunt and uncle in the morning, and I feel furious when I see it.
I was even secretly worried that I wouldn't let in the door, so I was just pushed back. Even though it was only half a minute, I was already sweating and my legs felt like I couldn't stand.
I knew that the two people in front of me were related to the future happiness of me and Yaoyao, so I could only grit my teeth and try to stand up straighter.
"Well, good lad! It's a pity, if you go to be a soldier, you will be an absolute pacesetter. The uncle opened his mouth first, but as soon as he spoke, he was immediately attacked by his aunt's eyes.
"Xiaoyuan, don't listen to your uncle's nonsense, he has been a fool to be a soldier for a few years, and he wants to let people become soldiers when he sees everyone."
After speaking, he glared at his uncle again, and his uncle suddenly smiled innocently and scratched the back of his head. That look is really a huge contrast with his upright posture, it seems that the aunt is also a skilled husband.
It was also funny for the aunt and uncle to push the door to see this scene at this time. My aunt didn't forget to joke with my uncle: "Brother-in-law, are you fooling others to become soldiers again?" ”
Uncle's shabu turned red all of a sudden, and it seems that he, a former soldier, has indeed not forgotten that green mission for a moment.
"Okay, don't tease your brother-in-law. Let's go, hurry home, the family is in a hurry. ”
The aunt lost no time in playing a round for her uncle, and the aunt did not continue to embarrass her uncle. The little uncle had time to come over to say hello to his uncle and aunt, and opened the trunk of the car.
Looking at the trunk full of things, the aunt looked at the little uncle and said angrily: "Why are you here to buy things, there is no shortage at home." ”
My uncle looked at me aggrievedly and said, "These are all bought by your future son-in-law, and we didn't buy anything." ”
"You kid, it's not easy for you to earn some money on your own, why are you spending all this money indiscriminately." Auntie looked at me with a frown and said.
After speaking, he turned around and counted a few words from Yaoyao, saying that she didn't look at me, let me buy so many things, wasting money or something.
Yaoyao didn't explain, just glanced at me. Then I ran over to help move the things out of the tail box, and looked at the things all over the place, and my aunt counted the two of us for a while.
My aunt came forward to relieve us, saying that everything was bought, and it was also my heart, so she asked her to stop talking about us. She gave up and asked her uncle to help carry her things upstairs.
Although I was ready to push the door in, I couldn't help but breathe in when I looked at the people in the living room.
It's not just the seven aunts and eight aunts, but there are not as many people in the living room as our relatives together. There were several elderly people sitting on the sofa, and several middle-aged people were gathered around the dining table. There were also a few peers of our age and a few young children, running back and forth in the living room and room.
When I saw us come in, all eyes fell on me. Looking at the room full of people in the dark, I was so shocked that I forgot which leg to take.
Yaoyao, who was following me, was also obvious, obviously the scene in front of her also exceeded her expectations, and she was scared.
Auntie put Tingting on the ground, and then beckoned us to put everything in our hands in the corner of the living room.
Then they called me over and introduced me to the people, and by the way, they introduced me to everyone one by one. During the whole process, I followed my aunt's introduction one by one like a fool and said hello.
I didn't remember any of the introductions from a circle of people, and my head was buzzing. There was a lot of misery in my heart, even though almost all of them cast kind glances at me.
The elders kept praising Yaoyao for her good vision and finding me such a tall and mighty boyfriend. But I was so nervous that my breathing became unsmooth, and I was in a cold sweat.
My aunt also saw my nervousness, and whispered to me: "Don't be nervous, these are all relatives and elders in the family, all of whom grew up watching Yaoyao, so come and care about you." ”
My brain has lost the ability to think, and I can only nod my head after listening to my aunt's words.
"Let's go, let's go out to dinner." Uncle also came out just right to relieve me.
"There are too many people, I can't sit at home, it's rare that people are so together today, so we go out to eat." My aunt explained to me in a whisper.
I saw my aunt's care for me, and I felt a lot more relaxed, which seemed to be different from what I imagined.
I've always been worried that they're going to have a grudge against me because I kidnapped their jewels.
But now it seems that all my worries were unnecessary, and instead of rejecting me, they took care of me.
It seems that as Yaoyao said, her family is indeed very kind people, and I understand why Yaoyao is so kind.
A child who grows up in such a family environment has been nourished by this kindness since childhood, and kindness has been rooted in her soul, so it is not difficult to understand that she will be full of kindness to the world.
In order to take care of the elderly, the hotel was not far away, and a group of people rushed to the nearby hotel.
My uncle and aunt had already arranged everything early, and when we arrived, the waiter led us into a large private room.
The uncles and aunts were also busy settling everyone down, and the old people and children sat at a table. The young people sat together, and Yaoyao was pulled by her aunt to sit with them.
I was seated at the main table by my uncle, and the table was full of middle-aged elders, and I knew that something was wrong as soon as I saw this posture.
Sure enough, the waiter came in one after another, and one after another exquisite dishes were put on the table. The uncle asked Yaoyao's uncle and grandfather beside him, "Uncle, what do you think we drink at noon?" ”
My uncle and grandfather looked at me and asked me, "Xiaoyuan, can you have a drink and drink some liquor with us at noon?" ”
Good guy, I secretly said bad in my heart, it seems that I was careless. But at this time, what else can I say, do I tell a table of elders that I can't drink?
"My uncle and grandfather, you can look at the arrangement."
At this time, I could only go out, quietly looked around, and secretly calculated the amount of alcohol at this table.
At this time, I suddenly missed Wu Kai very much, if this guy is here, I am confident that I can stand and leave for a while.
But this can only be thought about, not to mention whether you can call him over now, it is not appropriate for him to appear on this occasion.
I can only pray in my heart that these elders will show mercy for a while, and don't embarrass me too much. I also secretly celebrated being trained by Wu Kai for so many years, if I didn't know him, I guess I wouldn't have the courage to hold a wine glass in front of them.
Soon the waiter brought up a few bottles of beautifully packaged wine, skillfully opened the package, and poured a glass full of glasses for everyone at the table.
Uncle was the first to stand up, cleared his throat and said, "Come, everyone raise their cups, let's welcome Xiaoyuan together." ”
As soon as the words fell, the whole room stood up, and I immediately bounced up from my seat, picked up the wine glass on the table and motioned to everyone.
"Cheers." With my uncle's order, all the wine glasses touched together, and then I drank them all.
The spicy liquor burned down my esophagus and into my stomach, and I took a deep breath before nodding to everyone again.
"Everyone sit down, eat food, eat more, there are not enough dishes to order." Uncle spoke again.
The atmosphere in the private room instantly became warm, with cups and plates staggered and the sound of dishes. Looking at this happy scene, my eyes moistened a little.
"Xiaoyuan, eat something and suppress the wine." Uncle and grandfather opened his mouth, and among the people at this table, uncle and grandfather were obviously the more authoritative person.
"Okay, thank you, Grandpa, I know."
My voice was starting to choke, and I really didn't expect that so many of my relatives would get together.
Although I knew that they were all in the face of my uncle and aunt, I could still see their blessings to me and Yaoyao from their sincere eyes.
"Come, Xiaoyuan, eat some fish." My uncle, who was sitting next to me, took a large piece of fish and put it in my bowl.
"Thank you, uncle, I'll do it myself."
"You don't have to be so polite, our family is usually very harmonious, so don't be so nervous. Now that you are with Yaoyao, we are a family, what are you nervous about having a meal as a family. ”
"Well, thank you, uncle, I'm not nervous." I'm not really nervous, I'm not nervous at all, I'm not nervous.
Can I not be nervous? Looking at the room, I was looking at me with concern from time to time, especially the table of the elderly and children.
The old men all stared at me kindly, and the children peeked at me from time to time, their eyes full of curiosity.
"Xiaoyuan, your uncle is right, it's his own family, you relax a little and watch your sweat." Uncle also stood up to help.
"It's okay, uncle, I'm just a little hot, I'll be fine later."
"Okay, don't talk about it, the more you talk about the child, the more nervous you are, let's eat the food quickly, the food will be cold for a while."
My uncle and grandfather made the final decision, and everyone began to stop paying attention to me. I began to persuade each other to cook, and my uncle and uncle even put vegetables in my bowl from time to time.
In a few moments, the small bowl in front of me was piled up like a hill.
"Come, Xiaoyuan. Uncle toasts you a glass of wine, Zhao Kai's matter, uncle thank you. ”
Hearing this, I stood up from my seat, picked up the wine glass and touched it with my uncle, then tilted my head and poured all the wine in the glass into my mouth.
After stabilizing his mind for a while, he slowly swallowed the wine, and suddenly the spicy feeling spread all over his body.
"Uncle, you don't have to thank me, this is what I should do."
"You don't have to stand up, sit and sit, there are not so many rules in your own family, you can just sit."
"Zhao Kai, is it Xinping's son, what's wrong with him?"
When my uncle heard my uncle mention Zhao Kai, he sounded puzzled.
"Alas, it's a long story, and your sister and I are to blame for this."
After speaking, Uncle Shen looked solemn and told everyone the ins and outs of the matter.
It turned out that his uncle and Zhao Kai's family were fellow villagers in the same village, and when he came back from the army, it was Zhao Kai's parents who led him into the industry.
And Yaoyao also grew up with Zhao Kai since she was a child, and it is not an exaggeration to say that she is a childhood sweetheart. The relationship between the two families has always been good, and adults often joke about the two of them, saying that they will be together when they grow up.
Yaoyao was so upset that she didn't have any feelings for Zhao Kai, but Zhao Kai had always liked Yaoyao. didn't even hesitate to go to college for Yaoyao, and followed her to Shenzhen to work.
Uncle and aunt saw that Zhao Kai had paid so much for Yaoyao, and they thought that he would be a good choice, so they kept matching the two of them.
After all, the two families know each other, and Zhao Kai also grew up watching them, and they think that others are not bad.
In the past two years, my uncle encountered difficulties in business, so he borrowed a lot of money from Zhao Kai's parents to turn over, but Zhao Kai's parents joked that the money didn't have to be repaid, so it was a gift money for Yaoyao.
When Zhao Kai heard this, he remembered it in his heart, and he was already worried about Yaoyao's constant rejection of him thousands of miles away. Later, he used this as a reason to force Yaoyao to agree to have a relationship with him.
Later, I bumped into him pestering Yaoyao, and beat him up by mistake, and Yaoyao also solved the misunderstanding with her parents under my persuasion.
After listening to his uncle's explanation, the elders were also indignant, and they all scolded Zhao Kai for his improper intentions.
The uncle almost lifted the table and asked the uncle, "How much money you borrowed from him, I will transfer it to you later, and you can take it and return it to her." The happiness of our family Yaoyao is not something that he Zhao Xinping's money can buy back. ”
"I've already returned the money to him, Xinping doesn't know about it, and after I told him, he also scolded Zhao Kai severely. That kid usually looks quite decent, but I didn't expect to grow up like this. ”
Seeing that his uncle was emotional, the uncle hurriedly explained to him, and continued without fear.
"Fortunately, I met Xiaoyuan, Yaoyao's stupid child really almost believed Zhao Kai's words. I thought that your sister and I really took Zhao Xinping's money and wanted to force her to marry Zhao Kai. ”
"Why is this kid so stupid. Xiaoyuan, come. Uncle also toasts you, thank you. ”
I quickly stood up again and had a drink with my uncle. After a short period of effort, three glasses of white wine were in the stomach, and the stomach was already on fire.
"Uncle, that's what I'm supposed to do. At that time, although I had just met Yaoyao, I didn't believe that there would be parents in this world who were willing to trade with their children's happiness, so I persuaded her to communicate with her uncle and aunt. ”
After drinking, I quickly explained to everyone. In fact, I was quite afraid that things were really like what Zhao Kai said, but I really couldn't help it when I looked at Yaoyao so painfully.
I could only persuade her to communicate with her parents well, but the result was exactly what I expected, just a misunderstanding.
And Zhao Kai also took advantage of this misunderstanding and forced Yaoyao into a desperate situation, but fortunately, things were happy in the end.
With this story, it seems that the distance between me and everyone has been brought a lot closer, and the next thing is to keep raising a glass and drinking.
Of course, I can't always let the elders toast me, I also take the initiative to toast one by one.
By the time I left, I had lost count of how much I had drunk, and my feet were frivolous and I was walking a little erratic.
Fortunately, I was still conscious, and I sent away many relatives behind my uncle and aunt, and those who stayed were all close relatives.
On the way home, I watched the elders around me keep saying that they cared about me, accusing my uncle of not taking good care of me and making me drink so much.
I could see that their concern was all due to their concern for me, and my heart felt like it was wrapped in the sun, very warm.
