258, mind
Hanging up Zhou Wentao's phone, Huang Shouzhen did not rush to inform Ma Xiaoxia about the matter, but waited until he had lunch, stayed at his uncle's house for nearly two hours, and waited until almost two o'clock in the afternoon before he informed his mother of the matter.
After Ma Xiaoxia heard this, her brows instantly frowned, "Invite you over for dinner again?" Didn't you go there once last year, there's no need to go again, right?"
Huang Shouzhen smiled bitterly in his heart.
He didn't dare to say too much about saving Zhou Linlin, so Ma Xiaoxia didn't know the seriousness of this matter, plus he has a very good relationship with Zhou Linlin now, and he specially sent a box of seafood to her family a year ago, and Zhou Wentao will invite him over for dinner......
Even every year in the future, Zhou Wentao will probably invite him to dinner, after all, he is a real life-saving grace to Zhou Linlin, and the countrymen are very affectionate!
"Mom, the other party's parents are very enthusiastic, I'm really not good at refusing, I'd better go for a while, anyway, I'll bring gifts, and I won't come to the door empty-handed." Huang Shouzhen didn't know how to explain to his mother, so he could only say so.
When Ma Xiaoxia heard Huang Shouzhen say this, she looked at it fixedly, and suddenly felt that something was wrong in her heart.
She undoubtedly knows her son's character very well, and knows that the latter is not a person who likes to visit other people's homes and be guests, and even if she hadn't asked for it, the latter might not even bother to come to her uncle's house.
But now for some reason, she inexplicably has a feeling that her eldest seems to be very willing to go to the house of the girl who was helped by him?
But after Ma Xiaoxia thought about it for a while, she nodded and agreed, and said, "Okay, then you can do it yourself, but when you get to someone's house, remember to be polite, you can't be so casual as in your own home." ”
Huang Shouzhen saw that his mother agreed to come down, and he was relieved.
But just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, Ma Xiaoxia added: "By the way, son, since that girl's parents are so enthusiastic and have always remembered your kindness, your father and I can't say nothing, right?"
Why don't you let the girl you pulled out of the water come to our house for a meal?"
Huang Shouzhen, who was roasting at his uncle's house, heard his mother's suggestion, and his legs shook suddenly, and he almost stepped into the brazier.
"This ...... Mom, are you serious?"
Huang Shouzhen tried his best to keep himself calm, but there was a sudden embarrassment in his heart.
Mom can really think about it, she actually wants Linlin to come to the house for dinner, if the latter really comes over now, she can't debunk all the panic I told the second elder before?
"Of course it's serious, isn't this normal, as the old saying goes, etiquette is still exchanged, you go to their house for dinner again and again, but your father and I have always ignored it, what do the girl's parents have to think of us then? Don't they think that your father and I don't even understand a little bit of human sophistication?" Ma Xiaoxia immediately said in a serious tone.
Huang Shouzhen saw that his mother was really thinking about this matter, so he was a little helpless.
However, he did not reject his mother's desire to invite Zhou Linlin to his own dinner, and even after thinking about it carefully, he had some expectations for it.
What the hell is this......
Because he really wanted to see what kind of reaction his mother would have after seeing Zhou Linlin with her own eyes?
Mom should like a girl like Linlin, right?
After all, this little girl is still very young in addition to her age, so she is really impeccable...... Huang Shouzhen couldn't help but think about it.
It's just that inviting the other party to come to dinner this year is really too abrupt.
At least that's what he thinks.
"Mom, forget it this year, our family's food reserves, the first two days have been eaten by relatives, there is no good food to eat, we can't go to the roadside delicatessen, buy some cooked food and come back to treat us, right?
Huang Shouzhen winked at Ma Xiaoxia, and then smiled: "Wait for next year, if their family still invites me over for dinner, then I will invite her to our family for dinner, and then we will leave some good dishes to entertain others, so that she can also feel your special and attentive, what do you say?"
Ma Xiaoxia herself is a warm and generous person with a very good face, and now when she hears Huang Shouzhen say this, there is a certain truth in thinking about it.
Because two days ago, she took out the delicacies stored at home for the New Year, including the seafood that Huang Shouzhen brought back, and ate them, and there were no good things at home.
So in the end, after some hesitation, she could only give up and bow her head.
......
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Huang Shouzhen went to the supermarket in the county to buy gifts before going to Zhou Linlin's house as a guest.
Like last year, there are still many guests in her house today, her aunt and sister-in-law are both there, but unlike last year, her grandparents did not celebrate the New Year at her house this year.
But Huang Shouzhen knew about this for a long time, because Zhou Linlin told him on the first day of junior high school, saying that her grandparents wanted to stay in Huang Yuan's hometown for the New Year, and felt that it was too much to go up and down the mountain by car to come to the county for the New Year.
Both of them are now old, and Huangyuan is a hundred turns and thousands of twists and turns of the mountain road, from the mountain to the foot of the mountain altitude difference is extremely high, there are more than 1,000 meters, although such a terrain, created a peculiar and spectacular scenery over there, very suitable for the development of tourism, but the road is very far away, which will be motion sickness, or old, beginning to be physically exhausted of the old people, it is not very friendly.
Therefore, this year, their family, including her aunt and sister-in-law, went to Huangyuan to see the old man two days ago before going back to the county for dinner.
After dinner, Huang Shouzhen sat at their house for a while, and then waited for Zhou Linlin's relatives, including Zhou Wenxin and Zhou Wenhua, to start to disperse and prepare to go back to their respective homes before he got up to say goodbye.
After Zhou Wentao saw this, he naturally smiled and asked Zhou Linlin to give him a gift.
So, after the two came to the door of the community, Zhou Linlin took out two red envelopes that had already been prepared from her pocket, handed them to Huang Shouzhen, and said: "Xiaozhen, this is a red envelope for you, one is given by my parents, and the other is given by my grandparents." ”
When Huang Shouzhen heard this, he was really embarrassed for a while.
After a while, he breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and then took the red envelope as naturally as possible, but couldn't help but say: "I didn't even go to see my grandparents, they gave me red envelopes like this, I'm really embarrassed!"
Zhou Linlin heard him say "grandparents" directly, instead of "your grandparents", she felt inexplicably happy in her heart, and said with a smile: "No, Xiaozhen, didn't you give me a lot of seafood before, I brought some to my grandparents, and they were very happy when they learned that you sent them, so I have to let me bring you the red envelope." ”
Huang Shouzhen was a little stunned when he heard Zhou Linlin say this.
"This little girl ......"
Of course, he can feel the other party's intentions, and the other party is obviously helping him create a good image in front of his grandparents!
