Chapter 181 The World Champions Ex-Girlfriend (33)
Xu's mother glanced at him: "You will get sick when you get old. If I don't take care of you, who will take care of you? Or do you think you are going to leave me alone when I get old and go find someone younger outside?"
"..."
What is this?
Is it the same thing as what he said?
"How come it's not the same thing? Don't you just think that your daughter is at a disadvantage? You have found a partner who has nothing but good looks and will have to be taken care of by your daughter when he gets old?"
Xu's mother took off her facial mask and turned her head to stare at him: "Then I want to ask you, when we were in love, I was useless except for my face, and I still needed you to take care of me when I got old. Why were you so so?
Do you want to?"
"..."
Father Xu said stiffly: "Can this be the same?"
"What's different? Tell me!"
"..."
How dare you say that? I can hardly sleep in bed and have to sleep on the sofa.
"Okay, okay, as you wish."
Xu's father said perfunctorily, thinking in his heart: Anyway, my daughter is only eighteen, and it is still early to get married. Maybe in a few years, she will get tired of looking at that boy's face, and she will break up on her own without him urging her.
…
Xu Yin still doesn't know that her father is expecting her to change partners.
She flew to Yachun and took Father Zhao to the capital before heavy snow closed the mountains there.
After all, it was the first time that my boyfriend had appeared in the World Cup. Father Zhao must have been thinking about it. Even though the TV could broadcast it, it wouldn't be as intense and exciting to watch live.
When Xu Yin went to Yachun to pick him up, Zhao's father was so excited that his voice trembled: "Can I really go and watch him play live?"
"Yes! I have bought the tickets. The performances are for three days in a row. Let's go and have a great time. Uncle, you don't have to bear the burden. It's Ajin's money."
"Okay, I'll go!"
When the older generation goes out, they are accustomed to saying hello to their neighbors, so as not to knock on their doors and no one will think something is wrong.
In this way, the neighbors knew that he was going to the capital to watch his son play, and his words were filled with envy:
"Old Zhao, congratulations! Your hard work has finally come to an end!"
“That kid Ajin, I’ve known him since he was a kid and I’ve known him to be a promising person. He’s going to become famous right away.”
"The World Cup, if you come back with a gold trophy, wouldn't you be the world champion?"
"I don't dare to take it seriously."
Father Zhao bowed his hands to the villagers.
His weather-beaten face was full of wrinkles when he smiled.
Not to mention whether my son can win the championship, even if he can't, it would be quite amazing if he can go to the World Series.
What's more, not only is his son promising, but the person he is looking for is also one of a million.
When his son went to the northwest for training, his future daughter-in-law didn’t tell him when she came to see him, but she sent him this and that.
If he sent too much and couldn't finish it, he asked him to take some to share with his neighbors.
He did as he was told. No, the neighbors took special care of him during this period.
In the past, I would inevitably worry that my son would forget him as his father when he married a wife, but now I find that not only did he not lose his son, but he also gained a daughter.
This life is worth it!
"Uncle, there are three days of competition in the capital. After that, he will fly to Canada for the second stop. If you are brave, I will accompany you to go abroad to watch him play. That's right. We may not be able to talk during the game."
While waiting for the flight, Xu Yin explained to Zhao's father that athletes have their own disciplines.
"There is no need to go abroad. I am very satisfied to be able to go to the capital to watch him play." Zhao's father said, but he felt that it was dragging her down. "My legs can't walk fast."
"It's okay, we're not in a hurry. I've booked a hotel for you next to the competition venue. I've made all the arrangements. When the time comes, you can take the hotel's car there. It only takes a few minutes on the road."
After a pause, she asked tentatively: "Uncle, in fact, I have consulted the doctor about your leg and it can be fitted with a prosthetic limb..."
"Hey, what are you doing with that money?"
Father Zhao waved his hand, feeling that this was not necessary.
I heard that prosthetics are very expensive. With this kind of money, I might as well save up to buy a house for my son and marry him as a wife.
Xu Yin didn't seem to be repelled by his tone. She just felt that it was a waste of money, and she knew it in her heart.
In the blink of an eye, it’s the day when the World Cup sub-station—the Capital Station—starts.
It happened to be Friday, and Xu Yin asked for leave early from the counselor.
Not only her, but also her roommates and classmates all went to invite them.
Finally, the leader of the college simply waved his hand: "If you have a ticket, go! It's good to support the country's sports industry. Friday's class will be made up in the following evening."
The students cheered with joy.
The students from the outer courtyard saw it with envy.
But there is no way, their college does not have a big shot like Xu Yin - he will book the whole place as soon as he makes a move.
Some people who got tickets from fellow villagers tried their best not to disturb anyone and sneaked away quietly to avoid being beaten by Cha Meng's classmates.
Xu Yin set off directly from school on Friday to pick up Zhao's father from the hotel.
She bought Zhao's father an automatic wheelchair and left a bodyguard to protect and take care of him in the hotel.
Both Xu's father and Xu's mother knew this.
Xu's father said he was dissatisfied with his daughter's partner, but in his heart he was like a mirror: Zhao's father had raised his son very successfully. Most people don't have this ability.
Let's make friends and talk about each other's children. We'll talk about the future later. Maybe my daughter broke up with someone on her own initiative. Don't be afraid!
When Xu's mother learned that Zhao's father was staying in a hotel, she blamed her daughter for poor arrangements.
There is no reason to let your in-laws stay in a hotel. You should invite them to your home so that they can fulfill their duties as landlords.
Xu Yin had not considered inviting Father Zhao to live at home before, but her boyfriend hadn't met his parents yet, so his parents had met with his in-laws first. He knew it was time to be so shy that the tips of his ears turned red and hot.
So I told my parents: "If you have a chance, when the competition is over, invite him to come to your house for dinner and celebrate by the way."
Xu's mother even teased her at the time: "Do you really believe in your partner? It's your first time in a competition. Being nervous will affect your performance."
Xu Yin is full of confidence in her boyfriend: "He can definitely do it!"
"Mom and Dad, our seats are over here."
Xu Yin picked up her parents and led them to the first row of the VIP area, where they could watch the game clearly. She also introduced Zhao's father to them.
When Father Zhao heard that the other party was the parents of his son's target, wouldn't they be his in-laws? He quickly wiped his hands on his clothes, then suppressed his nervousness and excitement and shook hands with them.
Xu Yin changed seats with Father Xu and asked him to chat with Father Zhao.
Xu's father glanced at her: "Your father and I are so easy to talk to?"
Xu Yin smiled.
Xu's father suddenly lost his temper and turned to chat with Zhao's father.
At first, they just exchanged polite greetings. Later in the conversation, they found that Father Zhao was a real person and could be dealt with, so the conversation became more enjoyable.
Seeing this, Xu Yin felt relieved. She sat with Xu's mother and opened the photo album on her phone to show her her boyfriend's latest training video.
After a while, Lisa Wen arrived with her roommates.
Several girls chatted:
"This is my first time watching short track speed skating. I have never seen it before."
"I haven't watched it either. I didn't even know there was such a competition. I made up a make-up class last night. I heard it was very exciting."
"There are a lot of people coming to see it. It's almost full."
"Fortunately we have free tickets, ladies, thank you!"
Xu Yin was confused when they hugged her one by one.
Lisa Wen held back her smile and leaned into her ear and said, "When I heard the price of this ticket, everyone rushed to get it."
