For Xu Huilin, it has been almost a year since she went home to see her parents, and she plans to come back to spend the Chinese New Year with her parents this year.
But I didn't expect that I would come back a few months early.
Moreover, it was such a weird reason to come back.
I feel so tired.
She is a filial daughter, but she has to do this.
Ye Xiaobai was whistling, looking very relaxed.
Instead, Xu Huilin looked up at the buildings in the community and felt a little nervous.
After all, it is a guilty conscience.
Seeing Xu Huilin's chest rising and falling slightly due to nervousness, Ye Xiaobai said nothing and stood quietly aside, waiting for Xu Huilin to adjust her mentality.
After two minutes, Xu Huilin exhaled softly, turned her head and said to Ye Xiaobai, "Let's go up!"
"Um!"
Ye Xiaobai nodded, then took the initiative to salute Xu Huilin, walked into the elevator entrance of the building, and then took the elevator up.
Soon, the two came to the door of Xu Huilin's house.
Xu Huilin did not take out the key to open the door, but chose to press the doorbell.
Ding dong!
After the doorbell rang a few times, a woman's joyful voice was heard coming from the house, "Come on, come on."
There was a click.
The door opens.
The person who caught his eye was a woman over fifty years old.
There are already traces of time on her face. Although the makeup is good, it can't hide her aging appearance.
"mom!"
Xu Huilin shouted quickly, with a bright and warm smile on her face.
"Daughter, I finally came home. I haven't seen you for a long time. You have lost weight."
The old woman nodded and looked at her daughter with a kind face.
"This is my mother!"
Xu Huilin then introduced Ye Xiaobai.
"Hello, aunt!"
Ye Xiaobai quickly smiled and said hello.
"Come home quickly, it's cold outside, I'm going to catch a cold soon!"
Xu's mother was also very polite to Ye Xiaobai.
Next, Ye Xiaobai and Xu Huilin entered the house together.
"Your father is cooking and said that you are back and must show off your skills. So, your mother and I have a free day today."
Xu's mother said with a smile.
Arriving at the living room, Xu's mother asked Ye Xiaobai to sit down and rest, then went to the kitchen to get busy, and Xu Huilin happily went to help.
Ye Xiaobai was left sitting alone on the sofa.
Out of boredom, Ye Xiaobai took out his mobile phone and played mobile games for a while.
After a while, the food was served.
Xu Huilin asked Ye Xiaobai to come to the restaurant for dinner.
They were formally introduced to each other at the dinner table.
"This is my dad, this is my mom."
"Hello, aunt, hello, uncle."
"Mom and Dad, this is my boyfriend, Ye Xiaobai."
"This is the jade that Xiaobai bought for you. My mother's is a set of bracelets. Dad, yours is a jade pendant."
"Xiaoye, you took the trouble."
"As long as uncle and aunt like it."
Ye Xiaobai smiled and didn't blush at all because he didn't buy it himself.
His thick skin shows that he has reached a certain level.
"By the way, my dear, how long have you been dating Xiaobai?"
Xu's mother couldn't help but asked curiously, but her eyes fell on Ye Xiaobai intentionally or unintentionally, examining this future son-in-law.
Naturally, his father was looking at Ye Xiaobai with a smile.
Fortunately, Ye Xiaobai was thick-skinned, so he accepted it calmly without feeling any restraint or nervousness.
Xu Huilin said with a smile, "Actually, Xiaobai and I have known each other for a year or two. We started dating half a year ago, but I just never told you."
"Yes, I chased Xiaolin for more than a year before she agreed to date me. It was not easy!"
Ye Xiaobai echoed from the sidelines matter-of-factly.
"No wonder, you girl, you don't want to come back for a blind date. If your mother and I hadn't forced you, you would have kept the fact that you have a boyfriend a secret from us!"
Father Xu said with a smile on the side.
"That's right! You're not young anymore. It's normal to have a boyfriend. You're not a student, so you have to be secretive when you fall in love. It's really heartbreaking for your father and me."
Xu's mother also laughed and started to blame her. However, this blame revealed her full concern for her daughter's lifelong events.
I pity all the parents in the world.
"Isn't my relationship unstable? I will tell you when I mature." Xu Huilin felt a little embarrassed, and the original tension gradually disappeared.
After all, our Ye Xiaobai children's shoes perform very well.
"By the way, Xiaoye, how old are you this year?"
Xu's mother continued to ask.
Ye Xiaobai smiled and said, "I am twenty-eight years old this year."
"You're only twenty-eight! Well, I just guessed that you are under thirty."
Xu's mother nodded, seeming a little dissatisfied with Ye Xiaobai's age.
"Yes, Sister Xu... Xiaolin, she is only five years older than me!"
Ye Xiaobai nodded and almost spilled the beans.
Xu Huilin on the side almost broke out in a cold sweat.
"Five years old isn't too old, as long as you like each other."
Father Xu said from the side.
"Yes, in this era, it is normal for girls to be older than boys."
Xu Huilin also followed suit.
Ye Xiaobai looked at Xu Huilin, "Anyway, I am serious about Xiaolin. What's more, Faye Wong is nine years older than Nicholas Tse! Our five years old is like drizzle!"
But I thought in my heart, "Brother is only nineteen years old, and Sister Xu is fourteen years older than me! Faye Wong and Nicholas Tse's nine-year age gap is so weak!"
"Yes, yes, as long as you have a good relationship, age doesn't matter."
Father Xu nodded in agreement. After all, his daughter has always been the golden leftover girl. She finally brought a boyfriend home, so she couldn't just throw them out of the spotlight!
What's more, Ye Xiaobai, the future son-in-law, looks pretty good. Except for being a little darker, he has a more elegant temperament.
"Well, Xiaoye, what do you do?"
Father Xu thought of something and began to care about this issue. After all, his daughter will be with the other party for the rest of his life. If he is a good-for-nothing and takes soft measures, then this son-in-law must be dumped by his daughter. Take advantage of this.
It's not yet time to cook the rice, give birth to a baby, and start a new blind date with someone more reliable.
This problem was expected by Ye Xiaobai and Xu Huilin.
Therefore, Ye Xiaobai responded easily, "Uncle, I am currently working in Kyoto's municipal government. I am the mayor's assistant. I can barely be considered a civil servant!"
"Assistant to the mayor? Oh, this is good. Many of the county magistrates and the like below are decentralized from the mayor's assistant secretary or the like. The job of a civil servant is stable, reliable and has a bright future."
When Father Xu heard that Ye Xiaobai's job was very respectable, he immediately became happy.
Mother Xu, on the other hand, had an extra thought and asked, "Is this assistant of yours a contract? Or has it been a regular job?"
"It hasn't become a regular job yet."
Ye Xiaobai said with a smile.
When Xu Huilin heard this, she secretly cried out that it was terrible.
But the words had already been spoken, and she could only pretend to be calm.
Sure enough, Xu's father and Xu's mother listened, looked at each other, and then said to Ye Xiaobai, "Well, then we must work hard and strive to become a full-time employee. Only then will there be room for development and the possibility of promotion."
"I will try my best."
Ye Xiaobai nodded heavily.
After finishing a meal.
Xu's mother asked Xu Huilin to wash the dishes together.
Father Xu invited Ye Xiaobai to play chess together.
In the kitchen.
Xu Huilin lowered her voice and asked, "Mom, what do you think?"
Xu's mother shook her head, "I don't feel much. First of all, you are five years older than him, and you are still pretty now. In a few years, if you become a yellow-faced woman, he may not treat you the same as before. Moreover, you are still beautiful."
As a temporary worker, unless he becomes a regular worker, he will not make much progress in his life, and he
He is already twenty-eight years old, and he is still a temporary worker in the municipal government. If he wants to become a regular worker, there is basically no hope. Girl, I don’t know what you like about him. With your current conditions, you can easily find ten
Eight are better than him, but in short, my mother doesn’t think much of this kid.”
Xu Huilin knew that Ye Xiaobai's answer of not becoming a regular official in the end made her mother and father unhappy.
But she couldn't tell her parents that she and Ye Xiaobai were actually actors, and she was still single!
"I don't care, I just like him. Even if he doesn't become a regular employee in the future, he can still do business, and he doesn't have to be a civil servant."
Xu Huilin pouted and said, "If you don't agree, then I will remain single for the rest of my life."
"You...okay, okay, you can do whatever you want, but mom is just suggesting you. I think this kid has some problems at work, but everything else is fine."
Xu's mother compromised. After all, her daughter was an old woman in her thirties, and she did not dare to delay her any longer.
"Thank you mom for your support."
Xu Huilin hugged her mother and kissed her.
"Then when are you going to get married?"
Xu's mother asked while washing the dishes.
"Well, I haven't planned it yet." Xu Huilin spat out her pink tongue, "We've only been dating for half a year, why are you panicking?"
"You haven't made any plans yet? It's been half a year. We should wait and see and decide on the engagement. People get married after dating for a month or two. Do you think you are still young? You are thirty-three, my eldest lady."
Xu's mother rolled her eyes at Xu Huilin and said, "Anyway, we must get married next year. During the Chinese New Year, we will call Xiaoye's parents, our three and six opposite families, and decide on the marriage."
"Sigh..."
The corner of Xu Huilin's mouth twitched slightly. Looking at her mother's serious expression, she could only nod and said, "Okay! I'll find time to talk to Xiaobai about this matter."
Anyway, there are still a few months until the Chinese New Year, and it is just an engagement, not a marriage, so now we can only take it one step at a time.
Ye Xiaobai didn't know that his scene was getting more and more difficult to perform.
Pretend to be your boyfriend, but then you have to get engaged!
Even forced into marriage!
This is ridiculous, it’s time for fake drama to become real.
"That's pretty much it." Xu's mother nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, put the washed dishes and chopsticks away for me, and you can go and have a rest. I'll throw away the remaining pot."
And at this moment, ding dong! The doorbell at home rang.
