In the blink of an eye, it was Friday afternoon again, and Fang Yi drove directly from the busy city to the train station to pick up his girlfriend Mu Jin and her roommate Yan Lingling.
Looking at the dense crowd at the exit of the train station, he stood directly at the place where he used to pick up his girlfriend. Fang Yi drove out his Petit Poussin this time because he was picking up his girlfriend and her roommate. Fang Yi didn't drive it often in the past.
It’s because everyone knows that when going to the city center, if you don’t have time to find a parking space in such a bustling business district, it’s better to just take the bus.
Standing at his usual place at the exit, Fang Yi observed the crowd around him and waited for his girlfriend to come out.
"What are you looking at?" Mu Jin came to Fang Yi's side and followed her boyfriend's gaze to see two people dressed as migrant workers sitting in the corner eating instant noodles, the kind with faces in paper bowls.
She laughed and joked to her boyfriend: "Why do you feel hungry even when you eat instant noodles?".
Fang Yi laughed and replied: "How can this happen? I'm just watching their movements and expressions!" After saying that, he said hello to Yan Lingling next to his girlfriend: "Hello! Yan Lingling!"
.
"Hello! Painter Fang." Yan Lingling, who was carrying a backpack, greeted Fang Yi: "I'm asking you to be my driver for the next two days! This is my first time in Shicheng. I have to visit several scenic spots.
Take a stroll”.
After taking the bag from his girlfriend, Fang Yi led the two of them to the parking lot where he parked his car. He opened the car door without opening the trunk and let the two of them sit in with their small bags.
After starting the car and driving onto the road, Fang Yi turned his head and asked his girlfriend and Yan Lingling sitting in the back seat: "Where did you arrange for Yan Lingling to play in the past two days? Why didn't the other people come? Only
Yan Lingling is alone?".
"Isn't it enough to have us Mu Jin? Are you still thinking about the other people in our dormitory?" Yan Lingling listened to Fang Yi's words, put her arms around Mu Jin's shoulders and said jokingly while looking at the back of Fang Yi's head.
"How dare you!" Fang Yi said with a smile without looking back. Based on the standards of the girls in Mu Jin's dormitory, apart from Mu Jin, there was no one worth thinking about.
Yan Lingling said with a smile: "You know the truth!" Then she changed her tone and said: "Two of them want to accompany their boyfriends, and the other two are preparing for the exam. I am the only idler, so I came here with Mu Jin to annoy others.
!".
Mu Jin continued with a smile and said: "This time we will go to the Mausoleum of the Founding Father, Dahu Park, and Confucius Temple. Anyway, we can visit one of the attractions in one afternoon. Now send us to my house, and you will pick us up tomorrow morning. Come early! Don't do it after eight o'clock at the latest. In the morning
There will be fewer people going to the Founding Father’s Mausoleum!”.
"No problem!" Fang Yi said with a smile, and drove around the viaduct of the train station towards Mu Jin's community.
Along the way, I heard the two girls behind chatting, and Fang Yi would interject a word or two from time to time.
Arriving at the door of Mu Jin's community, Fang Yi stopped the car next to the door. Mu Jin glanced at Fang Yi and said, "Drive to the downstairs of my house! Then send us up!".
Fang Yi turned to Mu Jin and said with a smile: "Meeting your parents now? I am empty-handed and not prepared at all! You should at least inform me first so that I can change into a suit and tie and put some on my hair.
Mousse or something!”.
Yan Lingling smiled and covered her mouth: "Don't worry, Painter Fang! Mu Jin's parents will be satisfied with this outfit. You look good!".
Mu Jin smiled and said: "This time you are my high school classmate, the one I hired to be the driver. Don't think so much! Even if it is a warm-up, the next time will be official. My parents don't know yet that we are talking about it."
It's about love. Act more naturally and smartly!" After saying that, he pushed Fang Yi on the shoulder: "Hurry up, don't be blocked at the gate of the community!".
Fang Yi had no choice but to start the ignition again, drive the car to the front of his girlfriend's house, and park it on the side of the road. Then he followed his girlfriend and Yan Lingling and walked upstairs.
When they opened the door and went in, Fang Yi stood behind Mu Jin and Yan Lingling and saw Mu Jin's mother standing up from the sofa in the living room.
"Hello, aunt!" Yan Lingling and Fang Yi said together.
Mu Jin's mother looked at Yan Lingling with a smile and said: "Yan Lingling is here, come in quickly!" Then her eyes turned to Fang Yi and asked her daughter: "This is?"
"Fang Yi! My high school classmate, the driver I'm looking for in the next two days!" Mu Jin said, pretending to be normal.
After looking over Fang Yi's body, Mu Jin's mother said with a smile: "You are Fang Yi! The young man is tall and tall and lovable! Come in, everyone!".
Fang Yi clearly understood something in Mu Jin's mother's eyes, so he had to say again: "Hello, aunt!".
After changing her shoes at the door and entering the house, Mu Jin took Yan Lingling to her room to put down her things. In this way, only Fang Yi and Mu Jin's mother were left in the living room.
"Xiao Fang, drink tea!" Mu Jin's mother poured a glass of water for Fang Yi.
Fang Yi quickly stood up from the sofa and took the water glass with both hands.
"Be careful! It's hot!" Mu Jin's mother said, waiting for Fang Yi to sit back on the sofa, she also sat down on the single sofa on the side.
"Xiao Fang! What do your parents do at home?" As soon as he sat down, the drama started. Mu Jin's mother smiled at Fang Yi and started asking questions.
Fang Yi said with a smile on his face: "My father works at Western Union Communications, and my mother is a civil servant in the district. Our family lives in a community where district civil servants raise funds!".
"Oh! Everyone in the family has good jobs!" Mu Jin's mother seemed very satisfied after hearing this and then asked: "Who else is there in the family?".
After hearing this, Fang Yi muttered in his heart: Mu Jin must have exposed something! Did he ask such detailed questions about a high school classmate when they met for the first time?
After muttering, Fang Yi still had to answer this, and said directly: "There is also an uncle who works in the provincial government, and my aunt is also a civil servant in the provincial historical records office! One sister is a graduate student at Shida University, and there is not much else!
My maternal grandfather and grandfather both died early.”
"Yeah!" Mu Jin's mother nodded after hearing this, then smiled at Fang Yi and said, "Xiao Fang drinks water!".
"Hey!" Fang Yi quickly took the still hot cup in front of him, sucked a little hot water into his mouth, and then put the cup back on the coffee table in front of him. Looking at the cup, Fang Yi felt that it was a bit hot today.
What a tragedy. As expected, just as Fang Yi put down his cup, Mu Jin's mother's next question came.
Fang Yi couldn't help but want to shout: Mu Jin! Why did you stay in the room for so long and didn't come out! Soon your mother will ask me about the eighth generation of my ancestors and my birth date! I still have some Yinyi in my grandfather's generation.
For the rest of my life, I can’t even name him, unless I go to my hometown and look at the tombstone and tell him.
Mu Jin's mother smiled at Fang Yi and asked: "How is Shiyi? How advanced are you at painting now?"
Fang Yi replied: "Did you know that I am studying stone art?" This sentence immediately revealed that Mu Jin's mother knew about Fang Yi.
Middle-aged women are all smart in this matter! They can find explanations without turning their eyes. Mu Jin's mother looked at Fang Yi and said: "How could I not know that you are the one who got higher in the college entrance examination than Xiao Jin?"
Fang Yi! People who have passed such a high school in stone art have children at home. I don’t know.” This sentence easily put Fang Yi’s words back.
When it comes to procrastinating, Fang Yi is no match for a middle-aged woman, so she can only answer her honestly: "It's okay, now I've started to create!".
"What do you plan to do after graduation? A friend I know has a child who studied painting and graduated from school. Finally, he found someone to be a teacher in a middle school. I heard from him that it was not easy to learn to paint at the beginning!
Are there any other arrangements?" Mu Jin's mother asked.
"Let's see after graduation!" Fang Yi could only reply like this. How could he still say: Your friend's child is too bad! How can he compare with me? My painting now is better than the average stone art teacher. In the future,
I’m going to make a living by playing with paintbrushes. Don’t worry! Your daughter can’t go wrong by following me! I think so in my heart but I can’t say it!
Finally, Mu Jin and Yan Lingling walked out of the room and saw Fang Yi and her mother sitting on the sofa. Her mother looked at her boyfriend with a smile on her face, and her boyfriend also looked a little unnatural.
. He opened his mouth and asked his mother: "Mom! What did you ask me? Look at how nervous I am!"
Fang Yi saw that his girlfriend was against her will and said: "I didn't ask anything! I just wanted to talk about home life and stuff!" But in his heart, he felt that the sofa in his girlfriend's house was not springs but nails, and the roots of his girlfriend's sofa were causing pain in his butt!
"You kid! Xiao Fang already told me to talk about home affairs!" Mu Jin's mother smiled and stood up from the sofa: "Then let's talk!"
After taking two steps, he turned to Fang Yi and said: "Xiao Fang! Stay for dinner tonight! Xiao Yan, Xiao Fang! What do you like to eat? Tell me and I will buy it now!".
Staying for dinner? Isn't this fatal! Fang Yi quickly stood up from the sofa: "Auntie! I have something to do in the studio today, so I won't bother you!".
Mu Jin also said: "Mom! Fang Yi really has something going on in the studio tonight!".
Mu Jin's mother looked at Fang Yi and her daughter and said, "If you have something else to do, why don't you eat? No big deal is bigger than eating! Go back after eating at home! Xiao Fang! Listen to auntie!".
"Hey!" Fang Yi had a smile on his face, but bitterness in his heart.
"What do you like to eat?".
As soon as Fang Yicai sat back on the sofa, he couldn't help but leaned over again. He watched Mu Jin's mother press her hands on him, and then slowly sat down: "I can eat everything, I'm not picky about food!" He lied.
It looked as sincere as the real thing.
"Where's Xiaoyan!" Mu Jin's mother's eyes turned to Yan Lingling again.
Yan Lingling smiled and said: "Auntie, I heard from Mu Jin that you are good at cooking fish. I like to eat fish!".
Listening to someone praising her cooking skills, Mu Jin's mother was very proud and said: "My cooking is a bit spicy, I don't know if it will suit your taste!".
"I like spicy food!".
"Then I'm going out! You guys are chatting at home." After saying that, he went to the kitchen and picked up a small cloth bag. When he went to the door to change his shoes, he said to Fang Yi: "Xiao Fang! Don't leave!".
These words had no choice but to make Fang Yi stand up from the sofa again: "Auntie! I won't leave!". Seeing Mu Jin's mother go out, Fang Yi took a deep breath and exclaimed -!
