Tian Jie took the initiative to take my hand, took me inside, and then began to greet her seven aunts and eight aunts enthusiastically, and I shouted when she shouted.

After a full circle and greeted one by one, Tian Jie's father beckoned to me: "Come, Xiao Gao, sit next to me, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have long wanted to talk to you, it just so happens that Tian Jie's aunts are also there, and everyone especially wants to see you." ”

I was so nervous that my palms were sweating, and I looked at Tian Jie for help.

Tian Jie immediately said: "Dad, Ren Gao Chang rushed over after work, he has been busy with projects recently, so you let him rest first." ”

One of Tian Jie's aunts chimed in: "Yes, Xiao Gao came to eat an orange." ”

"Okay, okay, thank you." I ate an orange.

Then, another aunt handed over a pear and said, "Xiao Gao, this is a fragrant pear from our Yunnan side, you can taste it." ”

"Ah, okay, thank you, auntie."

So, I ate another pear.

Then, an uncle handed over a cigarette: "Xiao Gao, do you smoke?" ”

Tian Jie's parents both knew that I was going to smoke, and it would be a bit false to say that I wouldn't have it, so I had to say "thank you" again and take it.

In just a few moments, I had eaten two oranges, a pear, a handful of melon seeds and a large piece of cantaloupe, and two cigarettes.

I don't feel like I need to eat dinner, but they are enthusiastic, but I can't cope with this enthusiasm.

In the end, Tian Jie helped me out of the siege and brought me into her room, and my ears were finally clean.

Tian Jie gloated and laughed, rolling on the bed with laughter.

"Is it that funny?"

"It's funny, look at how well-behaved you just now, so cute."

I looked at Tian Jie helplessly and said, "Why is your aunt so much?" ”

"Is it much? Two are my father's sister and sister, and two are my mother's sister and sister, so how many are the four aunts? ”

I'm ashamed!

Tian Jie said again: "Do you want to rest in my room for a while?" I'll go out and help you cope. ”

I think so, but how can a son-in-law come to his mother-in-law's house and be locked in the bedroom without seeing anyone, what kind of system is that?

Even if it's a fake son-in-law, you have to pretend to be a little bit!

So I went to the kitchen, planning to help Tian Jie's mother do something, so as to escape from the interrogation of her aunts.

"Auntie, is there anything I can do to help?"

In the kitchen, I asked Tian Jie's mother.

But I'm a little weak in what I said, these jobs in the kitchen usually deal with Tian Jie, and it's okay to show one or two hands casually, but in the face of Tian Jie's mother, who is a master cook like my mother's generation, I can only be ugly.

Tian Jie's mother looked at me, showed a kind smile, and said, "If I don't let you help, will it make you feel uneasy?" ”

Tian Jie's mother is a retired teacher, and her speech has always been so level.

I smiled and said, "Yes, it's better for me to make something, even if it's going downstairs to get soy sauce." ”

Tian Jie's mother said with a smile: "I'm afraid that the job of making soy sauce is only the memory of our generation when I was a child, and now I buy bottles." In our time, it was to take an empty bottle to the grain store to make soy sauce, and on the way home, I had to drink two sips, I couldn't understand what soy sauce was good about, but now I know that I was poor at that time, and white sugar and soy sauce were rare. ”

It seems that older people, such as my parents, often feel sorry for the past.

I don't think it's Tian Jie's mother nagging me, she really treats me as her own family, so she is willing to talk to me about this.

I also listened quietly, and my colleagues were also thinking, will I also sigh about the past when I get old?

And what do I have to feel about in the future?

Back to the topic, Tian Jie's mother finally said to me: "You can help me cut the meat and fry it back in the pot." ”

"Okay."

I'm still fine with chopping vegetables, but it's definitely difficult for me to cook so many people's dishes.

I started chopping vegetables, and Tian Jie's mother chatted with me without saying a word, and chatting with her mother was actually very pleasant.

Probably because her mother was a teacher, so she was very literate and made you feel comfortable.

Just chatting, Tian Jie's mother suddenly said, "Xiao Gao, aren't you and Xiao Jie really in love?" ”

This sudden sentence made me a little overwhelmed, and I suddenly didn't know what to do.

She smiled kindly again: "It's okay, you don't have to be nervous, in fact, I knew it last time Tian Jie brought you to the house and said that you were dating." ”

At that moment, I was truly ashamed.

It turns out that there are some things that can't be hidden no matter how much they can't be hidden, and paper can't contain fire after all.

In this case, I didn't continue to hide it, and confessed: "I'm sorry Auntie, it's really as you said." ”

Tian Jie's mother didn't get angry, but smiled and said, "But I know that Xiaojie likes you a lot, you can see it, right?" ”

I nodded undeniably.

"I heard that you had a girlfriend before, what was the reason for the breakup?"

Speaking of which, I suddenly didn't know how to answer, because even I didn't know how to break up, which was quite inexplicable.

I told the truth: "Auntie, I don't know why, once I had a fight with her, it was just a very ordinary quarrel, and then she left. ”

"Has there been no news?" Tian Jie's mother said with concern.

"I don't know if it counts, but she wrote me two letters during this period, and the most recent one she told me her address, and I went to look for it, but I found nothing."

Tian Jie's mother nodded thoughtfully, and suddenly the conversation changed: "Then what do you think of Xiaojie?" ”

The topic changed a little quickly, but I still didn't hesitate and said truthfully: "Auntie, you know, I have been playing with Tian Jie since I was a child, and I have long regarded her as my sister in my heart. ”

"Well," Tian Jie's mother paused, and suddenly said seriously: "Xiao Gao, I know what kind of person you are and Xiao Jie's father, no matter what, I definitely hope you are all well...... Today, Auntie will also give you a statement, I don't have anything to do with her father about you and Tian Jie, if you have feelings for Xiaojie in the future, Xiaojie hasn't found a boyfriend yet, I want you to be with Xiaojie. ”

I was stunned and nodded.

At this time, Tian Jie came to the kitchen, she leaned against the door frame, and said while eating oranges: "Mom, why are you talking so happily?" ”

Tian Jie's mother replied with a smile: "I said that Xiaogao is sensible and diligent, unlike you who only know how to eat, and you are lazy and don't like to clean up." ”

Tian Jie stuck out her tongue and said, "Mom, my boyfriend is here, can't you save me some face?" ”

"What is there to say?"

Tian Jie pursed her lips again and said, "I found out that I shouldn't have entered the kitchen, you guys talk, I'll avoid it." ”

With that, she ran back to the living room.

Tian Jie's mother smiled again and said, "You saw it, right?" She's happy. ”

"Well, Auntie, I just said it, I know what Tian Jie means to me, but I ......"

Tian Jie's mother answered: "It's okay, I understand, you don't have to say anything." ”

Tian Jie's mother's friendly behavior and heart-warming smile suddenly made me feel a lot more at ease, but at the same time, it also made me feel a little more guilty.

Perhaps, I shouldn't have agreed to pretend to be a couple with Tian Jie in the first place.
