Zhao Guizhi looked at Shao Le, whose head was almost reaching the upper edge of the door frame, and was a little stunned for a moment.
She never expected that her daughter would actually bring a boyfriend home.
The atmosphere in the yard was a bit awkward.
It took Zhao Guizhi a long time to react. She smiled kindly and replied: "Hello, hello."
She wiped the sweat from her forehead with her sleeves, placed the bamboo basket on the ground at the door of the living room, and greeted enthusiastically: "Feifei, why don't you give it to your sister...your sister..."
Zhao Guizhi didn't know what to call Shao Le. In a small place like this, most people of his generation would only fall in love once. If he had a boyfriend, he would probably be his future husband.
She didn't know how far Shao Le and her daughter had developed, so she didn't dare to draw a conclusion on their relationship easily.
Lin Keke saw what Zhao Guizhi was thinking and quickly added: "Mom, he is my squad leader, his name is Shao Le."
"Oh, Feifei, go and get your sister, the monitor, a glass of water."
Lin Feifei smiled and said: "It's already passed."
"Then sit down, sit down."
Shao Le and Lin Keke sat down together. Lin Feifei knew that it might not be appropriate for her to stay on this occasion, so she quietly returned to the room.
Zhao Guizhi went to the kitchen first, took off her long sleeves for sun protection, washed her face with some water, and smoothed her hair.
Lin Keke brought a male classmate home for the first time.
This was the first time that Zhao Guizhi faced this situation. Although she had rehearsed this scene in her mind very early on, she was still a little nervous when it actually happened.
From the outside, the boy sitting in the living room and his daughter really match each other.
But you can't just judge people by their appearance. When my husband left, he specifically asked him to choose a better son-in-law for his two daughters. It doesn't matter if he has money or not, as long as he is motivated and loves others.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to cook you a bowl of noodles?" Zhao Guizhi returned to the living room and asked with a smile.
"Auntie, Coco and I have eaten in the car."
Zhao Guizhi nodded and saw the fruit basket and health care products on the table. He also took a small chair and sat down next to it. He said, "You are all still students, so come as soon as you come. There is no need to buy anything."
"That's right. I didn't spend any money from my parents. I earned all this myself."
Zhao Guizhi took advantage of the situation and asked, "Where are you from?"
"My dad used to be from Gan Province, but now he has settled in Shanghai. My grandparents are still in Jiujiang. It only takes an hour and a half to drive there."
"How many people are in your family?"
"I have a sister and a brother. We are twins."
Zhao Guizhi nodded slightly and continued to ask: "Then what do your parents do?"
"My dad runs a small business in Shanghai and is basically semi-retired now."
Seeing that Zhao Guizhi had nothing to ask, Shao Le took the initiative and said: "Auntie, Keke and I are indeed in love. I didn't want to come over so early, but Keke said that he wanted you to meet me, so I went with him. I'm back, I really like her, I don't dare to say any other big words, what I can promise is that I can take good care of her and won't let anyone bully her..."
"If you agree, we can get married after college. My family background is not bad, and my parents are both very talkative people. You don't have to worry about Coco being bullied in our family. Our family has always valued girls over boys. I Parents will definitely like Cocoa too..."
After Shao Le said this, Zhao Guizhi felt a little sore in the eyes for no reason.
Shao Le said so much, but what touched Zhao Guizhi the most was the sentence, "I can take good care of her and won't let anyone bully her."
As a woman who has lost her husband, although everyone in the countryside appears to be friendly and kind, when interests are involved, others will gang up on her and bully her.
There was no other reason than that there was no man in their family. She was like this, and she didn't want her two daughters to be like this too.
Realizing that she was a little out of sorts, Zhao Guizhi nodded quickly and stood up and said, "You guys sit at home first, and I'll buy some food and cook it for you."
Seeing his mother-in-law leaving, Shao Le turned around and asked, "Have I passed the test?"
Those words just now were clearly told by Shao Le to Zhao Guizhi, but Lin Keke felt embarrassed when she heard them. Her face turned red. When Shao Le asked herself, she turned her head, shook her head and said, "I don't know."
Lin Feifei heard that there was no sound outside and walked out of her room.
Only then did Shao Le take out the box containing the bracelet from his backpack, as well as the jade bracelet that his sister wanted to give to Lin Keke last time.
"I think your mother must have approved of me. You can wear this bracelet that my sister gave you now. I also bought this one before I came here and will give it to your mother later."
"What's this?"
Shao Le opened the box and revealed the gold bracelet with a plain ring inside.
When Lin Keke saw it, he immediately asked: "Why didn't you tell me? Isn't this expensive?"
"good."
"My mother definitely wouldn't want it."
Shao Le smiled and said: "Then I'd say it's copper, but it's just plated with gold on the outside."
"My mother is not stupid."
"I bought it all, and it can't be returned. If your mother doesn't want it, then give it to your sister."
Lin Feifei quickly waved her hand and said: "I don't want it, I don't want it."
Lin Keke also said at this moment: "Feifei, I will sleep with you tonight."
"good."
"Monitor, let me take you to my room first."
Shao Le followed Lin Keke to her room with his suitcase. The room was not big, about fifteen square meters. The floor was covered with red tiles, but it must have been many years. Some of the tiles were cracked. The structure inside is as simple as possible. There is a bed leaning against the corner, covered with a piece of cloth. There is a wardrobe next to it. The wardrobe is also made of thick solid wood. There is a desk under the window. There are piles of books of all kinds, but they are all piled together and don't look messy.
Lin Keke simply tidied up the bed and slept directly.
the other side.
In front of the butcher stall, Zhao Guizhi said happily: "Old Li, let me chop two pounds of lean meat and one pound of ribs."
The bald old man selling the meat was holding a cigarette in his mouth and asked curiously: "What's going on? Why are you so extravagant today?"
Zhao Guizhi usually buys meat every three to five days, and every time she buys it, she buys half a catty. It is rare to buy so much at once.
"There's someone at home."
"Someone is coming? Who is it?"
Zhao Guizhi smiled and said: "The eldest daughter brought her boyfriend back."
"Didn't your family just go to college? Your boyfriend also went to the same school as her?"
"Yes, they are all top students."
"How are the boys doing?"
"He is tall and handsome. His grandparents are also from Gan Province. His parents do some small business in Shanghai."
"Doing business in a magical city is amazing. You are lucky."
Zhao Guizhi did not refute and smiled brightly.
