Chapter 146: Cabbage
From the time Sun Lien took Hu Jia back to the hospital to get in the car, and then drove Xu Yourong and Rachel back to Ninghu Resort together, Hu Jia never spoke. In addition to blushing and bowing her head, Hu Jia was quiet like a large doll, silent.
"Why don't you two speak?" In the silent carriage, Rachel finally couldn't help it. She knows that Xu Yourong doesn't like to talk, but the two people sitting in the driver's seat and the co-pilot usually scatter dog food everywhere as if they don't want money. Why did you start to be silent today? Could it be a quarrel? Rachel has been extremely satisfied these days, and her good mood is almost flying. I'm in a good mood, and I'm more concerned about other people's possible low mood, Rachel thought to herself, maybe the two of them are a little couple and angry, maybe you can untie the knot by chatting?
"Quarreled?" Xu Yourong had already noticed the abnormal performance between Sun Lien and Hu Jia, but she was a little unsure whether she should come out and try to interfere. If it weren't for Rachel speaking first, she might have remained silent. "What are you arguing about? Let's hear it. ”
Sun Lien coughed twice, "No...... There was no quarrel. He probably knew that Hu Jia was a little shy, but Sun Lien was not sure whether his judgment was accurate - Hu Jia's generous personality would really be shy like this? Sun Lien himself was not sure about this at all. So Hu Jia kept his head down and didn't speak, and he didn't dare to speak. can only accompany Hu Jia by the side and remain silent.
"Didn't quarrel?" Rachel's eyes lit up, and the atmosphere between the couple was low, and then one of them said that there was no quarrel, so it must be a quarrel!
Sun Lien was a little confused by Rachel's question, "Really...... Really?" he himself was questioned, and while waiting for the traffic light, he poked his head into the co-pilot's seat, "You're not angry, are you?"
Hu Jia raised his head, looked at Sun Lien with a red face, and said after a few seconds, "I'm angry!"
"Huh?" Sun Lien was shocked, "Why?"
"You bastard!" Hu Jia rewarded Sun Lien with a few pink punches, which didn't hurt at all, and it was the same pair of hands that made Hu Tian have a slight concussion before, "What have you been doing all these years? Which little vixen have you been thinking about for more than 20 years? Why are you only here to be my boyfriend now?"
Sun Lien was beaten inexplicably, and Rachel, who was sitting in the back row, sighed, it seemed that he had made a mistake, the stupid couple didn't quarrel at all, they were just going to sprinkle dog food in another way, that's all.

"Proposed?" came to Ninghu Villa, Sun Lien was dragged out fishing by Comrade Xu again, and a group of female comrades chose to sit together in the living room watching TV and chatting. After Hu Jia blushed and said Sun Lien's performance today, the foreigner Rachel suddenly grinned, and was still applauding by the way, "Our little girl has grown up!"
Mother Xu heard something different from Hu Jia's description, "Your parents don't agree?"
"They......" Hu Jia sighed, "From childhood to adulthood, they have to oppose everything I do." ”
Hu Jia's parents were high-level intellectuals. And not the general "premium". Hu's father and Hu's mother both have doctorates and work at Song'an University. In the first half of the 90s, they had already studied for a doctorate, and the level of professional knowledge of the two was naturally extremely high - the doctorate in the early 90s and the current doctorate are basically two degrees. But years of living in an ivory tower have also made the two different from ordinary parents in terms of personality. They have very high requirements for Hu Jia, especially on issues related to the "direction of life", and the two do not allow Hu Jia to have other ideas. For the two of them, Hu Jia should be the first in the grade from childhood to adulthood, get at least one doctorate at the age of twenty-eight, and stay in school to start scientific research or take administrative posts - ordinary teaching is not good.
But the problem is that Hu Jia was not in good health when he was a child, and he often had a headache and brain fever. And Hu's father and Hu's mother were academically busy during that time, and the two of them had to be away from Ningyuan for more than 200 days a year. Hu Jia could only live in the house of her aunt Hu Jing. Hu Jing's personality and preferences actually have more influence on Hu Jia than Hu's father and Hu's mother. And the most obvious impact is reflected in Hu Jia's "stubbornness".
Hu Jia is actually a very stubborn person. But this stubbornness does not come from "not admitting defeat". It's that she's confident in her choice. Hu Jia doesn't think it's best to obey her parents' arrangements in everything - she doesn't want to live like her parents.
"They're not against it once or twice, anyway. Hu Jia seems to have become completely accustomed to her parents' disagreement. I also have a job now, and I basically don't need to rely on my parents' financial support to live. This gives her a lot of freedom. "They hadn't even seen Lien, and they didn't agree just to hear that he was a doctor. How can there be such a reason!"
Xu Mu smiled and nodded, "They are actually afraid that you will be deceived." Parents who have daughters are basically like this, didn't there be a joke before? This is worried that their cabbage will be arched by other pigs. She paused and smiled, "After all, there are still a few cabbages like mine who go out and arch other cabbages." ”
Xu Yourong's face was slightly red, but he didn't dare to say anything else. Only Rachel looked dazed, "Cabbage, what cabbage?"
"Are you leaving tomorrow?" Xu Yourong could only take the initiative to ask in order to change the topic, "Leave directly from here?"
Hu Jia nodded, "My parents are also going to London—they're going to attend an academic conference there." We'll be on the same flight – just see you at the airport then. ”
Xu Yourong thought for a moment and proposed, "Why don't you just let Dr. Sun drive the car to pick up your parents?"
"Impossible. Hu Jia shook his head with a smile and said, "How can it be so easy to ......?"

"It's better for you to drive to pick up Xiaohu's parents tomorrow. Sun Lien and Xu's father sat by the lake fishing, the old man was lucky today, and the little crucian carp finally stopped harassing his bait. It's just that in its place, there are catfish one after another. The old man slowly picked the hook from the fish's mouth, and said to Sun Lien, "Don't say anything else, you have abducted the girl in your hands for so long, and the two of you still live in the same room." It is also appropriate to be a driver for the future father-in-law and mother-in-law. ”
Sun Lien nodded, he actually had this plan. But I haven't had time to say to Hu Jia, "I'll talk to Hu Jia later." After all, the space in the trunk of his current car is indeed large enough, and it is not too convenient to send people to pack luggage. What's more, seeing Hu Tian's attitude, Sun Lien also felt that he should contact Hu Jia's parents. Even if people really don't like you, after getting in touch with others, you can at least have a direction and opportunity to improve your impression.
"How long will Xiaohu study abroad this time?" Father Xu finally took off the hook, and threw the fish into the fish guard, the old man rubbed the beard on his chin, "A year?"
"I heard her say it should be a year. Sun Lien sighed, thinking that he would not be able to see Hu Jia in the next year, he felt a little empty in his heart. "I didn't think it was before...... Now I suddenly thought that I wouldn't see her for a whole year, and I suddenly felt uncomfortable. ”
Father Xu laughed, "It's right to be uncomfortable." If you still don't care at this point, then I really want to suggest that you reconsider whether or not to continue talking about friends with nonsense. ”
"Eat grilled catfish tonight. Sun Lien wanted to continue to say something, but Father Xu suddenly waved his hand at him, "You go back and accompany Xiaohu." ”
