In April, the spring breeze blew open the frozen lake, greened the weeping willows on the riverside, blew back the wild geese, and warmed the weather. Du Hu and Xia Xiaolan were sitting on the bus heading to Gushan City.
Hinata's arrival did not bring Du Hu a good mood. On the contrary, as the bus approached Gushan City, Du Hu became more nervous. Sitting in the bus, his face turned blue and he said nothing.
Xia Xiaolan thought he was motion sick, so she asked: "Du Hu, what's wrong? Are you motion sick?"
Du Hu shook his head. At this time, Xia Xiaolan guessed that Du Hu was nervous and afraid of meeting her parents. Then he said with a smile: "It's okay, don't be nervous about meeting your parents. After this hurdle, we can practice
Together.
Du Hu thought to himself that he might not be able to pass this hurdle. Xia Xiaolan's family is from the municipal government of Gushan City. Although Du Hu's parents have a lot of money, they are still doing smuggling trade in Russia.
, is an illegal business. If people ask about it, it would be a bit shameful. Although Du Hu is from Beijing, his ancestral home is Heilongjiang in Northeast China. He has the blood of Northeastern people in his bones. Don’t look at the carefree and heroic attitude of Northeastern people.
Wan Zhang, but they also care about their own face the most. If they can’t hold on to face, nothing they say will work.
After wandering all the way, we finally arrived at Xia Xiaolan's house. Today was a weekend, and Xia Xiaolan's parents were both at home. Xia Xiaolan didn't even ring the doorbell, but opened her door with the key. Du Hu stood outside and didn't dare to go in.
At this time, Xia Xiaolan's mother was standing at the door. Seeing Xia Xiaolan coming back, she said, "You are finally back. Your father and I have wanted to talk to you for a long time."
Xia Xiaolan's mother has a pair of red-rimmed eyes and a very serious face. She is almost fifty years old. She has no wrinkles on her face. Unlike this person, she doesn't smile at all. People who don't smile have no wrinkles on their faces.
People who love to laugh have no room for trivial matters in their hearts.
Xia Xiaolan looked back at Du Hu and said, "Come in, they won't eat you."
Du Hu nodded and walked in. As soon as he entered the door, Xia Xiaolan's mother also saw it, although she was a little reluctant. She thought that it would be bad to bring a boy home so soon and let the neighbors see it. But there was no way.
I've already brought it back, so there's no point in talking about it.
"Are you Du Hu?" Xia Xiaolan's mother asked.
Du Hu nodded and stood stupidly at the door. Although he entered the house, he did not dare to take a step forward. This was his first time experiencing this kind of market, so he was very nervous. He was so nervous that he lost his mind.
The ability to think.
"Come in and sit down." Xia Xiaolan's mother said, Xia Xiaolan pulled Du Hu into the house, and the two sat on the sofa, waiting for their parents' interrogation. Xia Xiaolan was determined to be with Du Hu in this life.
, and Du Hu is basically still an idiot emotionally. He is not as far-reaching as Xia Xiaolan thinks, nor is he as courageous as Xia Xiaolan.
Xia Xiaolan's father had been sitting on the other end of the sofa, never putting down the newspaper in his hand. He didn't talk to Xia Xiaolan and Du Hu, nor did he look at them. Du Hu felt a little awkward and felt that he should be treated as a person when he came.
Guest, and now, his father's attitude was clear. Not only did he not treat himself as a guest, he didn't even treat himself as a human being. He didn't even say a word, and didn't even look at him.
The attitude of Xia Xiaolan's parents made Du Hu, a man with Northeastern ancestry, a little angry. Think about when Du Hu was in Lingbei Town, he was definitely a big brother-level figure. In any place, anyone who saw him would nod and bow.
You have to be a man to support me, so it's better than this, not even as good as his ma's dog.
Du Hu thought to himself, I am dating your daughter because it is me who your daughter is chasing after. She is the one who is desperate to be with me. She is the one who dragged me here. It’s okay now, you all are him.
Damn you, you don’t think of me as a human being! Damn it, you guys look down on me, and I look down on you!
Du Hu was a passionate man, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. He was so angry that he stood up and wanted to leave. Du Hu clenched his fists, and his bones made a rattling sound, which was harsh.
Xia Xiaolan knew that Du Hu was going to have an attack. She liked Du Hu and liked his masculinity, but at this juncture, it was better to stay calm. It would be difficult to deal with it if there was a fight. Xia Xiaolan said quickly: "Mom, dad, she is me
Du Hu, whom you often mentioned on the phone, Du Hu, this is my father and my mother."
Du Hu suppressed his anger, then quickly stood up and said with a smile: "Hello, uncle and aunt. It's our first time meeting you. Please give me your advice."
Du Hu's polite appearance was completely different from his rugged appearance. However, Xia Xiaolan's father still read the newspaper motionlessly, without raising his eyes, as if he was asleep. Xia Xiaolan's mother said: "Listen
Xiaolan often talks about you and says how good you are."
"Xiaolan, she deserves the award. I'm actually just an ordinary person. She just likes me."
"Humble young people like you are rare these days." Xia Xiaolan's mother said politely.
At this time, Xia Xiaolan's father finally put away the newspaper, glanced at Du Hu, and said: "Humility is not necessarily a good thing. Young people should dare to fight hard."
Just as Du Hu was about to say something, he was interrupted by Xia Xiaolan's mother, who asked: "Du Hu, what do your parents do?"
"My parents are currently doing Sino-Russian trade on the Russian border." Du Hu told the truth.
"It's just smuggling." Xia Xiaolan's father said.
"You can say that."
"The nature of your parents' work is very bad. I'm afraid the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked." Xia Xiaolan's father said the mean words without concealing it.
The fire in Du Hu's heart could no longer be suppressed. Xia Xiaolan and his family could not regard him as a human being, but they couldn't even say a bad word about his parents. What does it mean to be dishonest!
After entering, Xia Xiaolan secretly pulled Du Hu's clothes. Du Hu slapped the table, pointed at Xia Xiaolan's father and said angrily: "You can look down on me, but don't say bad things about my parents. What does it mean to be unfair?"
The lower beam is crooked! My parents also relied on their own skills to make money through smuggling. You officials have embezzled your fucking money, so you are decent. You are more disgusting than anyone else. You damn have no right to talk to me! Today
Just talk like this, man. One year from now, I will surpass you in Gushan City!" After saying that, Du Hu left angrily.
"Du Hu, don't do this!" Although Xia Xiaolan called him from behind, Du Hu opened the door and left without looking back.
"Xia Xiaolan, if you dare to take even half a step outside, never enter this home again!" Xia Xiaolan's mother roared angrily.
Xia Xiaolan didn't take a step forward. She regretted bringing Du Hu home. Unexpectedly, the conversation broke out within two minutes. It's not difficult to blame Du Hu. Who made her parents so mean?
