Seeing Situ Xing was like seeing his long-lost biological son, "Xiao Xing, come in quickly, take off your coat, wash your hands and come over to eat dumplings. Today, aunt not only made dumplings, but also made them my best You can also try the plums and vegetables with pork belly later. Why is this kid buying something again?"
Situ Xing reached out and took Shen Xue's coat, "I don't know what fruit you like to eat, so I just bought some!"
"Xiao Xing, it's just this time, don't do it next time!" Shen's mother took the fruit, "From now on, you can come to Auntie's house and just come, but don't buy anything, otherwise Auntie will kick you out!"
Situ Xing immediately responded with a smile, "Okay, then I will only come with my mouth from now on!"
Father Shen immediately walked towards the napkin and said, "Xiao Xing Xiaoxue, come here and eat dumplings!"
Mother Shen immediately scolded her, "Have you washed your hands? If your hands are full of germs, just give me chopsticks and wash your hands!"
"That's right, wash your hands." Father Shen smiled good-naturedly and walked into the kitchen to wash his hands.
Shen Xue pulled Situ Xing into the bathroom and closed the door, "Situ Xing, I tell you, you are not allowed to talk nonsense about pregnancy."
"Then..." Situ Xing lowered his eyes and looked at her, "Do you think about being my girlfriend?"
Shen Xue glanced at his eyes and quickly looked away, "We'll talk about it later."
The two of them washed their hands and returned to the restaurant.
Mother Shen had already arranged the dishes and chopsticks, and was bringing out the cooked pickles and meat, and immediately placed them in front of Situ Xing.
"Xiao Xing, hurry up and try it hot."
Situ Xing pinched his chopsticks and took a bite, "Yeah, it's delicious."
Mother Shen glanced at Shen Xue from across the table, "It seems that you and Xiaoxue have similar tastes, and our Xiaoxue also loves this dish I cook the most!"
"Really?" After hearing this, Situ Xing immediately helped Shen Xue put a spoonful of it on her plate, "Did you hear that, you are taking advantage of me!"
Everyone ate together, Situ Xing just chatted and laughed with Shen's father and Shen's mother, and there was constant laughter at the table.
Shen Xue held her chopsticks and looked at her parents across from her. She noticed the white hair on Shen's mother's temples and felt sour in her heart. Eating her favorite braised pork with pickled vegetables tasted the same as chewing bacon.
In the past few years, every time she went home, Shen’s mother would urge her to find a boyfriend or fall in love...
She was so annoyed that she would find excuses to leave after being unable to stay for a while, and the number of times she went home became less and less.
It had been a long time since she had chatted happily with Father Shen and Mother Shen.
Unknowingly, they had finished eating, and Situ Xing took the initiative to help Shen's mother put away the bowls. He was immediately stopped by Shen's father, who pulled him to see his newly bought fishing gear. Shen Xue helped Shen's mother put away the dishes.
"Xiaoxue!" Mother Shen glanced at the two men chatting happily in the living room and said in a low voice, "I think... Xiaoxing is a pretty good kid. Why don't you two give it a try?"
Shen Xue wiped the plate in her hand, "What are you talking about? We are colleagues."
"Are you a stupid mother?" Shen's mother rolled her eyes at her, and then sighed, "Xue, some things are in the past. Let us let go when we should. There are so many good men in the world, why do you have to be there? Hanging from a tree with a crooked neck?"
Shen Xue said nothing.
Mother Shen opened her mouth and wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words again.
"Mom!" Shen Xue put down the clean bowl in her hand and looked sideways at her mother, "You... like Situ Xing?"
